Newmont owns or controls approximately 3000 square miles of land in Nevada, stretching across the state along the Interstate 80 corridor. All of the mines are located within a 100-mile stretch of north central Nevada between Carlin on the east and Winnemucca on the west, and within 50 miles north and 20 miles south of I-80.
The Carlin mine is at the center of Newmont's eastern Nevada operations. In the early 1960s geologists began probing the high desert area around the Tuscarora Mountains. Newmont's first open pit mine and oxide mill began production in 1965.
As additional gold was discovered and new mines opened, the faulted terrain running northwest to southeast from the town of Carlin became known as the Carlin Trend. This is a 50-mile long, 5-mile wide belt that contains more than 20 major gold deposits and is the most prolific goldfield in the Western Hemisphere.
Newmont's Carlin Trend operations include five open pit mines and three underground mines that supply ore to a variety of Nevada processing facilities. Newmont has 2,800 employees in these operations
