Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES General Estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information is available prior to the issuance of the financial statements that indicates it is probable that a liability could be incurred, and the amount of the loss can by reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the loss contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred. Environmental matters The Company uses surety bonds to support certain environmental bonding obligations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had surety bonds totaling $156.0 million and $142.7 million outstanding, respectively. Other commitments and contingencies During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recorded $15.3 million of contingencies related to the Çöpler Incident in Other operating expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Accrued liabilities and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company revised the estimate of Çöpler Incident related costs and recognized a gain of $7.9 million, included in Other operating expense (income), net. See Note 3 for further details. Following the Çöpler Incident, the Company has been named as a defendant in securities class actions in the United States and Canada and is subject to various risks and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Based on the information currently available to the Company, no liability has been recorded for these lawsuits because the Company believes that any such liability is not probable and reasonably estimable at this time.
