Business Summary
Placer Dome Inc. and its subsidiary companies, joint ventures and associated companies (collectively, Placer Dome) are principally engaged in the exploration for, and the acquisition, development and operation of gold mineral properties, although significant quantities of silver and copper are also produced. The Company's share of gold production in 1999 was derived from mines in Canada (25%), the United States (37%), Australia (16%), Papua New Guinea (17%), South Africa (4%) and Chile (1%). In 1999, La Coipa Mine in Chile contributed 95% of the Company's share of silver production, with the balance from the Misima Mine in Papua New Guinea. The Zaldivar Mine in Chile and Osborne Mine in Australia contributed 65% and 35%, respectively, to the Company's share of 1999 copper production. Consolidated molybdenum production was from the Endako Mine in Canada, which was sold in June 1997.
