Jeff Huspeni of Newmont Mining Corporation presented at the 2012 Diggers & Dealers Conference on the company's profitable growth strategy with disciplined returns. Newmont aims to grow attributable gold production to between 6 and 7 million ounces by 2017 through projects in its pipeline. It seeks returns above its cost of capital on new projects. Newmont also believes its exploration program provides an option to add around 90 million ounces of gold and 9 billion pounds of copper reserves between 2011 and 2020.
