GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) — A Newmont Mining Corp. spokesman says the company has cut 34 jobs at its suburban Denver headquarters, where it had about 800 jobs.

The Denver Post (http://bit.ly/PyhNue ) reported on the cuts Thursday.

Greenwood Village-based Newmont said in May that it was looking at its global operations, costs and projects to identify opportunities to improve efficiency due to rising costs across the mining industry.
