Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

Nevada Gold Mines Joint Venture: On July 1, 2019, Newmont Goldcorp and Barrick Gold Corporation consummated the transaction establishing Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”). NGM is owned 38.5% by Newmont Goldcorp and owned 61.5% and operated by Barrick. The formation of NGM diversifies the Company’s footprint in Nevada and allows Newmont Goldcorp to benefit from additional efficiencies through integrated mine planning and processing. The Company accounts for its interest in NGM using the proportionate consolidation method, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of NGM.
Net income: Delivered net income from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $2,226 or $2.71 per diluted share, an increase of $2,387 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to the gain recognized on the formation of Nevada Gold Mines as well as higher production and realized gold prices.
Adjusted net income: Delivered Adjusted net income of $292 or $0.36 per diluted share, a $0.03 increase from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 86).
Adjusted EBITDA: Generated $1,079 in Adjusted EBITDA, a 70% increase from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 86).
Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations of $1,668 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a 52% increase from the prior year, and free cash flow of $635 (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 86).
Portfolio improvements: Closed the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture; divested the Nimba iron ore project in Guinea; announced process to review potential sale opportunities for Red Lake in Canada; achieved commercial production at the Borden mine in Canada, Ahafo Mill Expansion in Ghana, and Quecher Main in Peru; advanced Tanami Expansion 2 to execution.
Attributable gold production: Produced 1.64 million ounces of gold, an increase of 28% over the prior-year quarter.
Financial strength: Ended the quarter with $2.7 billion of consolidated cash and net debt of $4.8 billion, supporting an investment-grade credit profile; declared a third quarter dividend of $0.14 per share.

Our global project pipeline

Newmont Goldcorp’s capital-efficient project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Near-term development capital projects and recently completed projects are presented below. Additional projects represent incremental improvements to production and cost guidance.

Quecher Main, South America. This project adds oxide production at Yanacocha, leverage existing infrastructure and enable potential future growth at Yanacocha. First production was achieved in late 2018 and commercial production was declared in October 2019. Quecher Main extends the life of the Yanacocha operation to 2027 with average annual gold production of approximately 200,000 ounces per year (on a consolidated basis) between 2020 and 2025. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $181, of which $28 related to the third quarter of 2019.

Ahafo Mill Expansion, Africa. This project is designed to maximize resource value by improving production margins and accelerating stockpile processing. The project also supports profitable development of Ahafo’s highly prospective underground resources. First production was achieved in September 2019 and commercial production was declared in October 2019. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production of between 75,000 and 100,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2020. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $163 of which $20 related to the third quarter of 2019.

Borden, North America. This project is a new underground mine expected to extend profitable production at the Porcupine complex. Commercial production was declared in October 2019.

Musselwhite Materials Handling, North America. This project improves material movement from Musselwhite’s two main zones below Lake Opapimiskan. An underground shaft will hoist ore from the underground crushers, reducing haulage distances and ventilation costs. The Company expects the project to be fully operational in mid-2020 after development progress was impacted by the conveyor fire at Musselwhite.

We manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.

NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

NOTE 1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Goldcorp Corporation, a Delaware corporation, formerly Newmont Mining Corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” “Newmont Goldcorp” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on February 21, 2019 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “C$” refer to Canadian currency.

On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (as amended by the first amendment to the arrangement agreement, dated as of February 19, 2019, the “Arrangement Agreement”) to acquire all outstanding shares of Goldcorp, Inc. (“Goldcorp”), an Ontario corporation. On April 18, 2019 (“acquisition date”), pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding common shares of Goldcorp in a primarily stock transaction (the “Newmont Goldcorp transaction”) for total cash and non-cash consideration of $9,456. For further information, see Note 3.

On March 10, 2019, the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture (“Nevada JV Agreement”). On July 1, 2019 (the “effective date”), Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”), which combined certain mining operations and assets located in Nevada, historically included in the Company’s North America reportable segment, and certain of Barrick’s Nevada mining operations and assets. In connection with the closing of the Nevada JV Agreement, Newmont and Barrick entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NGM, which is the primary operating document governing NGM. Pursuant to the terms of the Nevada JV Agreement, Newmont and Barrick hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Barrick acts as the operator of NGM with overall management responsibility and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers, which is comprised of two managers appointed by Newmont and three managers appointed by Barrick. Newmont and Barrick have an equal number of representatives on NGM’s technical, exploration and finance advisory committees. For further information, see Note 4.

NOTE 2     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing metal prices, primarily for gold, but also for copper, silver, lead and zinc. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets and Goodwill are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.

In addition to changes in commodity prices, other factors such as changes in mine plans, increases in costs, geotechnical failures, changes in social, environmental or regulatory requirements and management’s decision to reprioritize or abandon a development project can adversely affect the Company’s ability to recover its investment in certain assets and result in impairment charges.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation, including Goodwill of $58, which was reclassified from Other non-current assets to Goodwill. Reclassified amounts were not material to the financial statements.

Business Combinations

The Company recognizes and measures the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, while transaction and integration costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase consideration when compared to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill. For material acquisitions, the Company engages independent appraisers to assist with the determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using: (i) discrete financial forecasts, which rely on management’s estimates of reserve quantities and exploration potential, costs to produce and develop reserves, revenues, and operating expenses; (ii) long-term growth rates; (iii) appropriate discount rates; and (iv) expected future capital requirements (“income valuation method”). The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalized for any differences between the assets (“market valuation method”). The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset (“cost valuation method”). If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition date, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, the Company will record any material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the date of the acquisition. Any adjustment that arises from information obtained that did not exist as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded in the period the adjustments arises.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using both the income and market valuation methods. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company recognizes its pro rata share of Goodwill and any subsequent goodwill impairment losses recorded by unincorporated joint ventures in which it has an undivided interest.

Leases

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.

The Company determines if a contractual arrangement represents or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Other non-current assets and Other current and non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

leases are included in Property, plant and mine development, net and current and non-current Lease and other financing obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Operating and finance lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. Leases acquired in a business combination are also measured based on the present value of the remaining leases payments, as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The Company has lease arrangements that include both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for the majority of its asset classes. Additionally, for certain lease arrangements that involve leases of similar assets, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the underlying ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 was issued which, together with subsequent amendments, is included in ASC 842, Leases. The standard was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with an initial term greater than one year. Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required.

The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $9 to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods.

The new standard offers a number of optional practical expedients of which the Company elected the following:

Transition elections: The Company elected the land easements practical expedient whereby existing land easements were not reassessed under the new standard.

Ongoing accounting policy elections: The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption whereby ROU assets and lease liabilities will not be recognized for leasing arrangements with terms less than one year. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of its underlying asset classes.

Based on contracts outstanding at January 1, 2019, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of additional operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities of $46 and $47, respectively, and finance lease ROU assets and lease liabilities of $85 and $93, respectively. Additionally, the Company reclassified $19 from Other non-current assets, $3 from Other current liabilities and $28 from Other non-current liabilities into Property, plant and mine development, net; current Lease and other financing obligations and non-current Lease and other financing obligations, respectively. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For required qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to leasing arrangements beginning in the period of adoption, see Note 26.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Current Expected Credit Loss

In June 2016, ASU No. 2016-13 was issued which, together with subsequent amendments, changes how entities will record credit losses from an “incurred loss” approach to an “expected loss” approach. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently undergoing its assessment of the new guidance and the impact it will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company expects to complete its analysis in 2019. Based on procedures performed as at September 30, 2019, management does not expect to establish material additional reserves for its cash and cash equivalents, debt securities and trade receivables. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance as of January 1, 2020.

Fair Value Disclosure Requirements

In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-13 was issued to modify and enhance the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this guidance and will enhance and modify required disclosures, which are not expected to be significant. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance as of January 1, 2020.

Defined Benefit Plan Disclosure Requirements

In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-14 was issued to modify and enhance the required disclosures for defined benefit plans. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, ending after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this guidance and will enhance and modify required disclosures, which are not expected to be significant. The Company anticipates early adopting the new guidance as of December 31, 2019.

Capitalization of Certain Cloud Computing Implementation Costs

In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-15 was issued which allows for the capitalization for certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance as of January 1, 2020.

NOTE 3 BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On April 18, 2019 (“acquisition date”), pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, in which Newmont was the acquirer. The acquisition of Goldcorp increased the Company’s gold and other metal reserves and expanded the operating jurisdictions.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

Newmont stock issued (285 million shares at $33.04 per share)

$

9,423

Cash paid to Goldcorp shareholders

17

Other non-cash consideration

16

Total consideration

$

9,456

The Company retained an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price of Goldcorp has been allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated acquisition date fair values. The fair value estimates were based on income, market and

13

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

cost valuation methods. The excess of the total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts initially assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill balance is mainly attributable to: (i) the acquisition of existing operating mines with access to an assembled workforce that cannot be duplicated at the same costs by new entrants; (ii) operating synergies anticipated from the integration of the operations of Newmont and Goldcorp; (iii) the application of Newmont’s Full Potential program and potential strategic and financial benefits that include, the increase in reserve base, the benefits of additional revenue from other products such as silver, lead, zinc, and copper; and (iv) the financial flexibility to execute capital priorities.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had not yet fully completed the analysis to assign fair values to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and therefore the purchase price allocation for Goldcorp is preliminary. The preliminary purchase price allocation will be subject to further refinement and may result in material changes to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made throughout the end of Newmont’s measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Goldcorp transaction as of September 30, 2019:

(1)During the period, $21 and $39 of Cash and cash equivalents and Investments, respectively, were determined to be restricted and were reclassified to restricted cash and restricted investments, respectively, and included in Other assets in conformity with Newmont policy.
(2)The preliminary fair value of the equity method investments was determined by applying the income valuation method. The income valuation method relies on a discounted cash flow model and projected financial results. Discount rates for the discounted cash flow models are based on capital structures for similar market participants and included various risk premiums that account for risks associated with the specific investments. During the quarter, $317 of goodwill was reclassified from Equity method Investments to Goodwill as the equity method investee is not expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.
(3)The preliminary fair value of property, plant and mine development is based on applying the income and cost valuation methods and includes a provision for the estimated fair value of asset retirement obligations related to the long-lived tangible assets. During the quarter, measurement period adjustments of $39 increased Property, plant and mine development, primarily due to further refinements of estimates.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

(4)Preliminary goodwill attributable to the North America and South America reportable segments is $2,249 and $503, respectively. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified and recorded measurement period adjustments to our preliminary purchase price allocation that was disclosed in prior periods, as a result of additional analysis performed. These adjustments primarily include increased Reclamation and remediation liabilities, reclassification of Goodwill from Equity method investments, updates to the Silver streaming liability estimate and the addition of legally required severance obligation estimates that existed at the date of acquisition, which resulted in Goodwill increasing by $654 during the quarter.
(5)The preliminary fair value of the Goldcorp senior notes is measured using a market approach, based on quoted prices for the acquired debt; $1,250 of borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit agreements approximate fair value.
(6)During the quarter, Employee-related benefits increased by $61 due to the addition of legally required severance obligations that existed at the date of acquisition.
(7)During the quarter, measurement period adjustments of $55 increased Lease and other financing obligations, primarily due to further refinements of estimates.
(8)The preliminary fair value of reclamation and remediation liabilities is based on the expected amounts and timing of cash flows for closure activities and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the acquisition date. Key assumptions include the costs and timing of key closure activities based on the life of mine plans, including estimates and timing of monitoring and water management costs (if applicable) after the completion of initial closure activities. During the quarter, measurement period adjustments of $271 were made to Reclamation and remediation liabilities, as a result of additional analysis performed by the Company and third party specialists to further understand the various closure requirements that existed as of the acquisition date.
(9)Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax benefit or future tax expense associated with the differences between the preliminary fair value allocated to assets (excluding goodwill) and liabilities and the historical carryover tax basis of these assets and liabilities. No deferred tax liability is recognized for the basis difference inherent in the preliminary fair value allocated to goodwill. During the quarter, measurement period adjustments of $59 decreased Deferred income tax liabilities, primarily due to the tax impact of the other measurement period adjustments described above and recorded during the quarter.
(10)The preliminary fair value of the acquired silver streaming intangible liability is valued by using the income valuation method. Key assumptions in the income valuation method include long-term silver prices, level of silver production over the life of mine and discount rates. During the quarter, measurement period adjustments were identified to refine the impact of exploration potential that existed at the date of acquisition, which increased the Silver streaming liability by $63.
(11)Other liabilities includes the preliminary balance of $453 related to unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. Based on this preliminary amount, the acquisition of Goldcorp increased Newmont’s unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties, which were $14 at December 31, 2018.

The measurement period adjustments discussed above had an immaterial impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Goldcorp revenue of $710 and $1,159 and Goldcorp net income (loss) of $72 and $(17) from the acquisition date to the three and nine months ending September 30, 2019.

NOTE 4 NEVADA GOLD MINES JOINT VENTURE

On July 1, 2019, Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established NGM, which combined the Company’s Nevada mining operations with Barrick’s Nevada mining operations. The formation of NGM diversifies the Company’s footprint in Nevada and allows the Company to pursue additional efficiencies through integrated mine planning and processing.

As of the effective date, the Company contributed its existing Nevada mining operations, which included Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon, to NGM in exchange for a 38.5% interest in NGM. The interest received in NGM was accounted for at fair value, and accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $2,366 during the third quarter of 2019 as Gain on formation of Nevada Gold Mines. The gain represents the difference between the fair value of the Company’s interest in NGM and the carrying value of the Nevada mining operations contributed to NGM.

The Company accounts for its interest in NGM using the proportionate consolidation method, which is an exception available to entities in the extractive industries, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of NGM. NGM retained an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of the Company’s interest in NGM as of the effective date. The fair value estimates were based on income, market and cost valuation methods.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the 38.5% interest received in NGM as of the effective date:

(1)The fair value of the stockpiles and ore on leach pads was determined by applying the income valuation approach adjusted for estimated future costs to complete and normal profit margin.
(2)The fair value of property, plant and mine development is based on applying the income and cost valuation methods and includes a provision for the estimated fair value of asset retirement obligations related to the long-lived tangible assets.
(3)Goodwill represents the Company’s proportionate share of goodwill recognized by NGM at formation and primarily represents the value assigned to the assembled workforce acquired and the impact of deferred tax liabilities recognized in relation to Nevada net proceeds taxes. The Company’s proportionate share of goodwill recognized by NGM is included in the Nevada reportable segment.
(4)The fair value of reclamation and remediation liabilities is based on the expected amounts and timing of cash flows for closure activities and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the acquisition date. Key assumptions include the costs and

timing of key closure activities based on the life of mine plans, including estimates and timing of monitoring and water management costs (if applicable) after the completion of initial closure activities.
(5)Deferred income tax liabilities represent the future tax expense relating to the Nevada net proceeds tax associated with the differences between the fair value allocated to assets (excluding goodwill) and liabilities and the historical carryover tax basis of these assets and liabilities. No deferred tax liability is recognized for the basis difference inherent in the fair value allocated to goodwill.

Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes NGM revenue of $492 and NGM net income of $79 from the effective date to the period ending September 30, 2019.

In connection with the formation of NGM on July 1, 2019, Newmont and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. executed the first supplemental indenture to the indenture dated, March 22, 2005 (“First Supplemental Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company has issued $600 of 5.875% notes due in 2035 (“2035 Notes”). Under the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, NGM had agreed to provide a full and unconditional guarantee of the Company’s 2035 Notes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. On August 23, 2019, the Company successfully completed a consent solicitation for its 2035 Notes. In connection with the consent solicitation, a second supplemental indenture (“Second Supplemental Indenture”) was executed that released NGM as a guarantor of the Company’s 2035 Notes. See Note 25 for additional information regarding the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture

On July 1, 2019 the Company entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) with NGM. The TSA agreement governs specific transition services that the Company provides to NGM. The agreement expires on the earlier of the date on which the last transition service terminates and February 28, 2021. From the effective date to the period ending September 30, 2019, the Company billed NGM $4 for services provided under the TSA.

On July 1, 2019 the Company entered into an employee lease agreement with NGM due to the length of time necessary for NGM to establish employment related functions and programs. Under the terms of the agreement, NGM may lease the services and skills of certain personnel that remain employed by Newmont. The leasing period will expire at December 31, 2019 or a later agreed upon date if additional time is required to establish the employment related functions and programs. Following the expiration of the leasing period, the leased employees who accept NGM’s offer of employment, will cease employment with Newmont and commence employment with NGM. The costs associated with the employee lease agreement are billed to NGM on a monthly basis. From the effective date to the period ending September 30, 2019, the Company billed NGM $102 for services provided under the employee lease agreement.

On July 1, 2019 the Company also entered into a toll milling agreement with NGM for processing sulfide concentrate produced at CC&V. Under the terms of the agreement, CC&V will deliver a minimum of 4,000 tons and a maximum of 8,333 tons of concentrate per month for milling to NGM, with NGM and CC&V each covering 50% of the cost of transportation. CC&V will pay $20 per ton towards milling costs and reimburse NGM for doré refining and transportation costs. CC&V continues to hold title to the concentrate sent to NGM for processing and receives bullion credits for gold recovered and NGM utilizes the concentrate as a fuel source for the NGM roaster. The agreement expires on December 31, 2020. From the effective date to the period ending September 30, 2019, the Company’s payments for services provided under the toll milling agreement were immaterial.

In addition, the Company purchases gold and silver from NGM for resale to third parties. Gold purchases from NGM totaled $488 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Total amounts due to (from) NGM for gold and silver purchased, the TSA services provided, employees leased to NGM and CC&V toll milling outlined above were $85 as of September 30, 2019.

In connection with entering into the Nevada JV Agreement, Newmont entered into a mutual two-year standstill agreement with Barrick, which expires on July 1, 2021.

NOTE 5     SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by Newmont’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). In the second quarter of 2019, following the close of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction on April 18, 2019, and in anticipation of the formation of NGM effective July 1, 2019, the Company revised its operating segments to reflect certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM. The Company determined that its operations are now organized in five geographic regions; North America, South America, Australia, Africa and Nevada, which also represent Newmont’s reportable and operating segments. For the periods prior to the second quarter of 2019, the Company’s operations were organized in four geographic regions; North America, South America, Australia and Africa. Segment results for the prior periods have been recasted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

As a result of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company acquired the Red Lake, Musselwhite, Porcupine, Éléonore and Peñasquito mines, which are now included in the North America reportable segment, and the Cerro Negro mine, which is now included in the South America reportable segment. Additionally, the Company acquired certain equity method investments that include Pueblo Viejo, Norte Abierto, Nueva Unión and Alumbrera. Pueblo Viejo is included in the South America reportable segment within Other South America. All other equity method investments are included in Corporate and other. Refer to Note 3 for further information.

The Company’s newly formed Nevada reportable segment includes Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon mines, while the CC&V mine continues to be included in the North America reportable segment. The mines in the Nevada reportable segment were previously included in the North America reportable segment. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company added NGM to the Nevada reportable segment, which reflects the Company’s 38.5% ownership interest in the joint venture from the effective date to the period ended September 30, 2019. Refer to Note 4 for further information.

Notwithstanding the revised reportable segments structure, the Company internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis for each mining operation and has chosen to disclose this information in the following tables. Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not reflect general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income and mining taxes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance. Newmont’s business activities that are not included within the reportable segments are included in Corporate and Other. Although they are not required to be included in this footnote, they are provided for reconciliation purposes. The financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows:

Silver Streaming Agreement

As a part of the acquisition of Goldcorp on April 18, 2019, the Company assumed the Silver streaming agreement related to silver production from the Peñasquito mine in the North America segment. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is obligated to sell 25% of silver production from the Peñasquito mine to Wheaton Precious Metals Corporation at the lesser of market price or a fixed contract price, subject to an annual inflation adjustment of up to 1.65%. This agreement contains off-market terms and was initially recognized at its acquisition date fair value as a finite-lived intangible liability. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of the valuation methodology and initial fair value. The Company’s policy is to amortize the liability into Sales each period using the units-of-production method.

NOTE 7     RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various domestic and international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations to protect public health and the environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation and remediation costs are based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements.

The Company’s Reclamation and remediation expense consisted of:

Reclamation and remediation adjustments: For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the reclamation adjustments primarily related to an update of the project cost estimates that resulted in increases of $9 and $4 at the Mule Canyon and Northumberland mine sites, respectively, and other immaterial concurrent reclamation at other mine sites. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the remediation adjustments primarily related to an update of the project cost estimates that resulted in an increase of $26 at the Dawn mine site, increased water management cost estimates of $11 at the Con Mine and other remediation project spend at other sites. In September 2018, the Company updated assumptions for future water management cost estimates of $8 at the Idarado remediation site.

The current portion of reclamation liabilities was $71 and $65 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. Included in the current portion of reclamation liabilities is $11 relating to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and $24 relating to NGM. The current portion of remediation liabilities was $88 and $49 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. Included in the current portion of remediation liabilities is $40 relating to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $3,134 and $2,316, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to operating properties.

The Company is also involved in several matters concerning environmental remediation obligations associated with former, primarily historic, mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $466 and $279, respectively, were accrued for such environmental remediation obligations. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 22% greater or 0% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2019. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.

Included in Other non-current assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are $42 and $42 respectively, of non-current restricted cash held for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations. Of the amounts at September 30, 2019, $33 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa, $6 related to NGM in Nevada, United States and $3 was related to the Midnite (Dawn) mine site in Washington, United States. Of the amounts at December 31, 2018, $32 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines, $8 was related to the Con mine in Yellowknife, NWT, Canada and $2 was related to the San Jose Reservoir in Yanacocha, Peru.

Included in Other non-current assets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $52 and $57, respectively, of non-current restricted investments, which are legally pledged for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations related to the San Jose Reservoir in Yanacocha and Midnite mine site.

Refer to Notes 25 and 31 for further discussion of reclamation and remediation matters.

NOTE 8     IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Impairment of long-lived assets totaled $3 and $4 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The 2019 impairments were primarily related to non-cash write-downs of obsolete assets at South America, Africa, and Corporate and Other.

Impairment of long-lived assets totaled $366 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The 2018 impairments were primarily related to certain exploration properties of $331 and Emigrant, within the Carlin complex, of $35, both reported in the Nevada segment. The Company determined that an impairment indicator existed at certain Nevada exploration properties, due to the Company’s decision to focus on advancing other projects, and at Emigrant, due to a change in the mine plan that resulted in a significant decrease in mine life. The Company measured the impairment at the Nevada exploration properties using the market approach and the impairment at Emigrant by comparing the total fair value of existing operations using the income approach. In addition to the impairment of long-lived assets at Emigrant, the Company also recorded an adjustment to the carrying value of the ore on leach pads resulting from the change in mine plan, impacting Costs applicable to sales and Depreciation and amortization by $22 and $7, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, Newmont’s interest in Continental was 19.9%. The Company accounts for Continental on a quarter lag and adjusts for any material differences between IFRS to U.S. GAAP. Continental owns the Buritica project located in Columbia. See Note 20 for additional information.

NuevaUnión

Newmont holds a 50.0% interest in the NuevaUnión project located in Chile. The remaining interest is held by Teck Resources. The project is currently under development and is jointly managed by Newmont and Teck Resources.

Norte Abierto

Newmont holds a 50.0% interest in the Norte Abierto project located in Chile. The remaining interest is held by Barrick. The project is currently under development and is jointly managed by Newmont and Barrick. As part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, Newmont assumed deferred payments to Barrick of $154 as of September 30, 2019 to be satisfied through funding a portion of Barrick’s share of project expenditures at the Norte Abierto project.  

Alumbrera

Newmont holds a 37.5% interest in the Alumbrera mine located in Argentina.  The remaining interest is held by Glencore and Yamana Gold. The mine commenced operations in 1998 and is operated by Glencore. The Company, Glencore, and Yamana signed an Integration Agreement in March 2019 through which the parties seek to combine the Agua Rica project with Alumbrera. The Agua Rica project is wholly owned by Yamana while Alumbrera is 50% owned by Glencore, 37.5% owned by Newmont and 12.5% owned by Yamana. The terms would result in Newmont holding an 18.75% interest in the combined assets.

Newmont has a 75.0% economic interest in Suriname Gold Project C.V. (“Merian”), with the remaining interests held by Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (“Staatsolie”), a company wholly owned by the Republic of Suriname. Newmont consolidates Merian, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the primary beneficiary in the variable interest entity.

In June 2018, Yanacocha sold a 5% ownership interest to Summit Global Management II VB, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation (“Sumitomo”), in exchange for $48 in cash, which resulted in Newmont’s ownership in Yanacocha decreasing from 54.05% to 51.35%, with the remaining interest held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (“Buenaventura”) (which decreased from 45.95% to 43.65%).

Under the terms of the transaction, Sumitomo has the option to require Yanacocha to repurchase the interest for $48 if the Yanacocha Sulfides project does not adequately progress by June 2022 or if the project is approved with an incremental rate of return below a contractually agreed upon rate. Consequently, Sumitomo’s interest has been classified outside of permanent equity as Contingently redeemable noncontrolling interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the agreement, the cash paid by Sumitomo at closing has been placed in escrow for repayment in the event the option is exercised. The Company continues to consolidate Yanacocha in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the voting interest model.

NOTE 15    NEWMONT EQUITY AND NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

In order to consummate the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company amended its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase Newmont’s authorized number of shares of common stock from 750 million to 1.28 billion, as approved by Newmont shareholders at the April 11, 2019 special meeting of stockholders.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similarly, except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee stock

The Company reported a loss from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Therefore, the potentially dilutive effects for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per common share attributable to Newmont stockholders because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation.

The Company repurchased and retired approximately 0.8 million and 2.7 million shares of its common stock for $26 and $96 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, of which approximately 0.7 million shares related to common stock that were held by participants in the Retirement Savings Plan of Newmont and the Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly-Rated Employees of Newmont. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company withheld 0.1 million and 1.3 million shares, respectively, for payments of employee withholding taxes related to the vesting of stock awards. The Company withheld a nominal amount and 1.0 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, for payments of employee withholding taxes related to the vesting of stock awards.

On April 18, 2019, in connection with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, we exchanged certain equity settled Goldcorp share awards and also assumed certain other cash-settled Goldcorp share awards.

Goldcorp Restricted Share Units

Goldcorp restricted share units (“Goldcorp RSUs”): The Company exchanged 4.1 million outstanding Goldcorp RSUs with an acquisition date fair value of $45 for 1.4 million Newmont RSUs. The Company allocated $4 to purchase consideration based on the portion of pre-acquisition services provided.

At the acquisition date the Goldcorp RSUs had an expected life of 1.4 years.

Goldcorp Options

Goldcorp options (“Goldcorp options”): The Company exchanged 3.6 million outstanding Goldcorp options with an acquisition date fair value of $2 for 1.2 million Newmont options with the right to exercise each Newmont option for one share of Newmont common stock. The full $2 acquisition date fair value of Goldcorp options was allocated to purchase consideration based on all services being provided prior to the acquisition. At the acquisition date the Goldcorp options had an expected life of 0.6 years.

Goldcorp Performance Share Units

Goldcorp performance share units (“Goldcorp PSUs”): The Company assumed 2.4 million Goldcorp PSUs with an acquisition date fair value of $28. The Company allocated $9 to purchase consideration based on the portion of pre-acquisition services provided. The Company agreed to settle the Goldcorp PSUs in cash using a 30-day historical weighted average price of Newmont shares on the vesting date and a performance multiplier of 100 percent. The Company will recognize the remaining $19 acquisition date fair value in earnings ratably over the requisite service period. The Company will re-measure the liability for these awards and

adjust their fair value at the end of each reporting period until paid. At the acquisition date the Goldcorp PSUs had an expected life of 1.9 years.

Goldcorp Phantom Restricted Share Units

Goldcorp phantom restricted share units (“Goldcorp Phantom RSUs”): The Company assumed 1.3 million Goldcorp Phantom RSUs with an acquisition date fair value of $14.

The Company will recognize the remaining $13 acquisition date fair value in earnings ratably over the requisite service period. The Company will re-measure the liability for these awards and adjust their fair value at the end of each reporting period until paid. At the acquisition date the Goldcorp Phantom RSUs had an expected life of 1.6 years.

At September 30, 2019, the Company included Employee-related benefits of $10 related to the cash-settled Goldcorp PSUs and Goldcorp Phantom RSUs on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 18 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

36

The following tables set forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash and cash equivalent instruments and restricted cash are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets and are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company’s net trade receivables from provisional metal concentrate sales, which contain an embedded derivative and are subject to final pricing, are valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves for the particular metal. As the contracts themselves are not traded on an exchange, these receivables are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair values are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities are calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company. The Company’s marketable equity securities without readily determinable fair values are primarily comprised of warrants in publicly traded companies and are valued using a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying securities. As the contracts themselves are not traded on the exchange, these equity securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s marketable debt securities consist of an unrestricted convertible debenture with Continental (the “Continental Convertible Debt”). The estimated fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow model, with an internally derived discount rate. It has been classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Continental conversion option is an embedded derivative in the Continental Convertible Debt agreement, further discussed in Note 20. It is valued using a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying security. As the option itself is not traded on the exchange, this instrument is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s restricted marketable debt securities are primarily U.S. government issued bonds and international bonds. The Company’s South American debt securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, using published market prices of actively traded securities. The Company’s North American debt securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using pricing models which are based on prices of similar, actively traded securities.

The Company’s restricted other assets primarily consist of marketable equity securities, which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are based on quoted prices available in active markets.

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models, and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, forward curves, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company’s derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated value of the Batu Hijau contingent consideration was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future copper prices using the Company’s long-term copper price, and (iii) estimated production and/or development dates for Batu Hijau Phase 7 and the Elang projects in Indonesia. The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Holt royalty obligation was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices using the Company’s long-term gold price, (iii) various gold production scenarios from reserve and resource information and (iv) a weighted average discount rate. The royalty obligation is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s liability-classified stock-based compensation awards consist of cash-settled Goldcorp share awards which become payable in cash on the vesting date. These awards are valued each reporting period based on the quoted Newmont stock price. As the awards themselves are not traded on the exchange, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables set forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

the Company’s decision to focus on advancing other projects and at Emigrant due to a change in the mine plan that resulted in a decrease in mine life.

The estimated fair value of the North American exploration properties was determined using comparable transactions. The estimated fair value of Emigrant’s existing operations was determined using (i) a country specific discount rate of 5.2%, (ii) a short-term gold price of $1,213 based on the third quarter average of the London PM fix, (iii) a long-term gold price of $1,300, and (iv) updated cash flow information from the Company’s business plan. For further information regarding the impairment charges, see Note 8.

NOTE 19    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in metal prices by selling its production at market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its metal sales. The Company has and will continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses hedge programs to mitigate the variability of its operating costs primarily related to diesel price fluctuations. Newmont’s hedge portfolio consists of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts, which run through the first quarter of 2022 in South America and the second quarter of 2022 in Australia.

The following diesel contracts were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges. The unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The Company had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2019:

Derivative Instrument Fair Values

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2019 was $2, and was classified in Other non-current liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2018 was $2 and $3, and were classified in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all hedging instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements held with various financial institutions. In general, the terms of the Company’s agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between it and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date, in the same commodity and in the same currency. The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying balance sheets. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the potential effect of netting derivative assets against liabilities due to the master netting agreement was not significant.

Batu Hijau Contingent Consideration

Consideration received by the Company in conjunction with the sale of PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara included the Contingent Payment and the Elang Development deferred payment deeds, which were determined to be financial instruments that met the definition of a derivative, but do not qualify for hedge accounting, under ASC 815. Contingent consideration of $28 and $26 was included in Other non-current assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. See Note 18 for additional information.

Continental Conversion Option

In March 2019, Newmont entered into a $50 convertible debt agreement with Continental. The debt is convertible into common shares of Continental at a price of C$3.00 per share. The conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative, which has been bifurcated from the host instrument and included in the Continental equity method investment balance. The value of the conversion option was $29 as of September 30, 2019. See Notes 18 and 20 for additional information.

Provisional Sales

The Company sells gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc concentrates on a provisional basis. Provisional concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is not designated for hedge accounting treatment, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

The impact to Sales from revenue recognized due to the changes in the final pricing is a (decrease) increase of $4 and $(9) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and a (decrease) increase of $10 and $(17) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

At September 30, 2019, Newmont had gold sales of 112,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,491 per ounce, silver sales of 2 million ounces priced at an average of $17.57 per ounce, lead sales of 24 million pounds priced at an average of $0.94 per pound, zinc sales of 64 million pounds priced at an average of $1.06 per pound and copper sales of 15 million pounds priced at an average price of $2.61 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

On April 18, 2019, as a part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company acquired interests in the Pueblo Viejo Mine, the NuevaUnión Project, the Norte Abierto Project and the Alumbrera Mine. See Note 12 for additional information.

In June 2009, Goldcorp entered into a $400 shareholder loan agreement with Pueblo Viejo with a term of fifteen years. In April 2012, additional funding of $300 was issued to Pueblo Viejo with a term of twelve years. Both loans bear interest at 95% of LIBOR plus 2.95% payable semi-annually in arrears on February 28 and August 31 of each year. The loans have no set repayment terms. At September 30, 2019, the carrying amount of the Company’s share of shareholder loans to Pueblo Viejo was $423, which is included in the Pueblo Viejo equity method investment. At September 30, 2019, $15 in interest receivable relating to the shareholder loans was also included in the Pueblo Viejo equity method investment. In September 2019, the Company and Barrick entered into a $70 revolving loan facility (“Revolving Facility”) to provide short-term financing to Pueblo Viejo. The Company will fund 40% of the borrowings based on its pro-rata share ownership interest in Pueblo Viejo. The Revolver Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.09% and expires on December 31, 2020. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2019. In addition, the Company purchases its portion (40%) of gold and silver produced from Pueblo Viejo at market price and resells those ounces to third parties. Total payments made to Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchased were $141 and $268 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and is included in Other income, net of subsequent sales. There were no amounts due to or due from Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchases as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company determined that based on its evolving roles on advisory committees and its support for recent financing events, Newmont now has the ability to exercise significant influence over Continental and concluded that the investment now qualifies as an equity method investment. As a result, the Company reclassified its existing Continental marketable equity security to an equity method investment. The fair value of the marketable equity security was $73, which formed the new basis for the equity method investment. Additionally, in March 2019, the Company entered into a convertible debt agreement with Continental totaling $50. The debt is convertible into common shares of Continental at a price of C$3.00 per share. The debt is an

42

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

unrestricted marketable debt security and is classified as available-for-sale. The fair value of the marketable debt security was $37 as of September 30, 2019 and is included in the Continental equity method investment balance. The conversion feature has been identified as an embedded derivative, which has been bifurcated from the host instrument and included in the Continental equity method investment balance. The fair value of the conversion option was $29 as of September 30, 2019. Changes in the conversion option fair value are included in Other Income, net. See Note 10 for additional information.

In June 2018, Newmont sold $11 of restricted marketable debt securities as a result of remediation work completed at the Midnite Mine.

In June 2018, Newmont exchanged certain royalty interests for cash consideration of $17, received in July 2018, and non-cash consideration comprised of 60 million common shares in Maverix and 10 million common share warrants in Maverix, with fair values upon closing of $78 and $5, respectively. Following the transaction, Newmont held a 27.98% equity ownership in Maverix. The Company determined the Maverix investment qualified as an equity method investment.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

On April 4, 2019, the Company entered into a $3,000 revolving credit facility (“New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires in April 2024. The New Credit Agreement provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars and contains a letter of credit sub-facility. Facility fees vary based on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior, uncollateralized, non-current debt. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a market based rate plus a margin determined by our credit rating. The New Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing credit agreement dated as of May 20, 2011, as amended and restated as of May 25, 2017 (“Existing Credit Agreement”). Outstanding letters of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement of approximately $71 were transferred to the New Credit Agreement of which $60 remains outstanding as of September 30, 2019. Debt covenants under the New Credit Agreement are substantially the same as the Existing Credit Agreement.

Upon closing of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company paid the outstanding principal balances of Goldcorp’s term loan of $400 and Goldcorp’s revolving credit facility of $850. Additionally, the Company completed a like-for-like exchange for most of the outstanding notes issued by Goldcorp (“Existing Goldcorp notes”), with an aggregate principal amount of $2,000, for new notes issued by Newmont (the “New Newmont notes”) and nominal cash consideration. The New Newmont notes, issued April 22, 2019, and the Existing Goldcorp notes that were not tendered for exchange, consist of $472 and $78 of 3.625% notes due June 9, 2021, $810 and $190 of 3.70% notes due March 15, 2023 and $444 and $6 of 5.45% notes due June 9, 2044, respectively. Pursuant to registration rights issued with the New Newmont notes, the Company filed Form S-4 on June 28, 2019, which was declared effective on July 9, 2019. The exchange for the registered notes was completed on August 9, 2019.

On August 23, 2019, the Company successfully completed a consent solicitation for its notes due in 2035. In connection with the consent solicitation, certain amendments were executed to the indenture. In addition to releasing NGM as a guarantor of the Company’s notes due in 2035, certain provisions were amended to conform with the Company’s other outstanding indentures. The provision amendment was accounted for as a debt modification. For further information, see Note 4.

Prior to the closing of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, Goldcorp held a series of letters of credit, several of which represented guarantees for reclamation obligations. Newmont Goldcorp continues to hold these letters of credit. At September 30, 2019, the Company had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $410 of which $334 represented guarantees for reclamation obligations. This decrease of $2 from the $336, as of June 30, 2019, is due to the change in exchange rate. None of these letters of credit have been drawn on for reclamation obligations, as of September 30, 2019.

NOTE 26 LEASE AND OTHER FINANCING OBLIGATIONS

The Company primarily has operating and finance leases for corporate and regional offices, processing facilities and mining equipment. These leases have a remaining lease term of less than 1 year to 38 years, some of which may include options to extend the lease for up to 15 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the lease within 3 years. Certain of our leases include payments that vary based on the Company’s level of usage and operations. These variable payments are not included within ROU assets and lease liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In December 2017, the Company began the Tanami Power project which included the construction of a gas pipeline to the Tanami site, and construction and operation of two on-site power stations under agreements that qualified for build-to-suit lease accounting. As of December 31, 2018, the financing obligations under the build-to-suit arrangements were $210, of which $24 was classified as current. During the first quarter of 2019, construction of the gas pipeline and power stations was completed. Upon completion, the build-to-suit arrangements failed to qualify for sale-leaseback accounting. Finance lease obligations recognized on both arrangements totaled $186 as of September 30, 2019, of which $26 was classified as current.

As of September 30, 2019, we have an additional operating lease for corporate office space that has not yet commenced. At commencement, the Company anticipates that this lease will result in an additional lease liability of $78. The operating lease is anticipated to commence in 2020 and has a lease term of 13 years.

NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

NOTE 31    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Operating Segments

The Company’s operating and reportable segments are identified in Note 5. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Fronteer matters relate to the Nevada reportable segment. The Newmont Ghana Gold and Newmont Golden Ridge matters relate to the Africa reportable segment. The Mexico tax matter relates to the North America reportable segment.

Environmental Matters

Refer to Notes 7 and Note 25 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain of the more significant matters are discussed below.

Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned

Ross-Adams mine site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont agreed to perform the EE/CA pursuant to the requirements of an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (“ASAOC”) between the USFS and Newmont. The EE/CA was provided to the USFS in April 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, the USFS confirmed approval of the EE/CA, and Newmont issued written notice to the USFS certifying that all requirements of the ASAOC had been completed. During the third quarter of 2016, Newmont received a notice of completion of work per the ASAOC from the USFS, which finalized the ASAOC. The USFS issued an Action Memorandum in April 2018 to select the preferred Removal Action alternative identified in the EE/CA. Newmont is continuing to negotiate the terms of a future agreement with the USFS for Newmont to implement the approved Removal Action. No assurances can be made at this time with respect to the outcome of such negotiations and Newmont cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 51% Newmont Owned

Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).

As per the Consent Decree approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington on January 17, 2012, the following actions were required of Newmont, Dawn, the Department of the Interior and the EPA: (i) Newmont and Dawn would design, construct and implement the cleanup plan selected by the EPA in 2006 for the Midnite mine site; (ii) Newmont and Dawn would reimburse the EPA for its costs associated with overseeing the work; (iii) the Department of the Interior would contribute a lump sum amount toward past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site; (iv) Newmont and Dawn

58

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

would be responsible for all other EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site.

During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site in a lump sum payment of $42, which Newmont classified as restricted assets with interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process (with the exception of the new water treatment plant (“WTP”) design which was awaiting the approval of the new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit). Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and the WTP design commenced in 2018. Newmont is managing the remediation project to complete Phase 1 remedial actions during the 2019 construction season with a focus on completing the Pit 4 backfill and preparations for Phase 2 remediation activities. Phase 2 remediation activities will be initiated in 2020.

The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health and is in the process of being closed. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The Tailing Disposal Area 1-4 reclamation earthworks component was completed during 2017 with the embankment erosion protection completed in the second quarter of 2018. The remaining closure activity will consist primarily of addressing groundwater issues.

The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $164 at September 30, 2019.

Other Legal Matters

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 51.35% Newmont Owned

Administrative Actions. The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts periodic reviews of the Yanacocha site. In 2011 to 2019, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. OEFA has resolved some alleged violations with minimal or no findings. In 2015 and 2016, the water authority of Cajamarca issued notices of alleged regulatory violations, and resolved some allegations in 2017 with no findings. The experience with OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the outcome rather than a significant fine. The alleged OEFA violations currently range from zero to 17,642 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 10 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.001260 based on current exchange rates with a total potential fine amount for outstanding matters of ($0 to $22.2). Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.

Conga Project Constitutional Claim. On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of the Conga project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga project Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: (i) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; (ii) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; (iii) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment and; (iv) the directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha has answered the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.

Yanacocha Tax Dispute. In 2000, Yanacocha paid Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. a total of $29 to assume their respective contractual positions in mining concession agreements with Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.M.R.L. The contractual rights

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

allowed Yanacocha the opportunity to conduct exploration on the concessions, but not a purchase of the concessions. The tax authority alleges that the payments to Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. were acquisitions of mining concessions requiring the amortization of the amounts under the Peru Mining Law over the life of the mine. Yanacocha expensed the amounts at issue in the initial year since the payments were not for the acquisition of a concession but rather these expenses represent the payment of an intangible and therefore, amortizable in a single year or proportionally for up to ten years according to Income Tax Law. In 2010, the tax court in Peru ruled in favor of Yanacocha and the tax authority appealed the issue to the judiciary. The first appellate court confirmed the ruling of the tax court in favor of Yanacocha. However, in November, 2015, a Superior Court in Peru made an appellate decision overturning the two prior findings in favor of Yanacocha. Yanacocha has appealed the Superior Court ruling to the Peru Supreme Court. On January 18, 2019, the Peru Supreme Court issued notice that three judges support the position of the tax authority and two judges support the position of Yanacocha. Because four votes are required for a final decision, an additional judge has been selected to issue a decision and the parties conducted oral arguments in April 2019. The potential liability in this matter is in the form of fines and interest in an amount up to $86. It is not possible to fully predict the outcome of this litigation.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.

On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.

On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1,200. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

Newmont Ghana Gold Limited and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited

On December 24, 2018, two individual plaintiffs, who are members of the Ghana Parliament (“Plaintiffs”) filed, a writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. On January 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the Statement of Plaintiff’s Case outlining the details of the Plaintiff’s case and subsequently served Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (“NGGL”) and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (“NGRL”) along with the other named defendants, the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana and 33 other mining companies with interests in Ghana. The Plaintiffs allege that under article 268 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana that the mining company defendants are not entitled to carry out any exploitation of minerals or other natural resources in Ghana, unless their respective transactions, contracts or concessions are ratified or exempted from ratification by the Parliament of Ghana. Newmont’s current mining leases are both ratified by Parliament, NGGL June 13, 2001 mining lease, ratified by Parliament October 21, 2008 and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease ratified by Parliament December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliament ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) declaration as to meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliament ratification; (iii) declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent, and; (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all un-ratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Goldcorp, Inc. 100% Newmont Owned

Shareholder Action. On October 28, 2016 and February 14, 2017, separate proposed class actions were commenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act (Ontario) against the Company and certain of its current and former officers. Both statement of claims alleged common law negligent misrepresentation in Goldcorp, Inc.’s public disclosure concerning the Peñasquito mine and also pleaded an intention to seek leave from the Court to proceed with an allegation of statutory misrepresentation pursuant to the secondary market civil liability provisions under the Securities Act (Ontario). By a consent order, the latter lawsuit will proceed, and the former action has been stayed. The active lawsuit purports to be brought on behalf of persons who acquired Goldcorp Inc.’s securities in the secondary market during an alleged class period from October 30, 2014 to August 23, 2016. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Mexico Tax Matters

Tax Reassessment from Mexican Tax Authority. During 2016, the Mexican Tax Authority issued reassessment notices for two of Goldcorp, Inc.’s Mexican subsidiaries primarily related to a reduction in the amount of deductible interest paid on related party debt by those subsidiaries during their 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, and the disallowance of certain intra company fees and expenses. The 2008 fiscal year notices reassessed an additional $11 of income tax, interest, and penalties. The 2009 fiscal year notices reassessed an additional $102 of income tax, interest and penalties relating to the reduction in the amount of intra group interest payments. A Mexican subsidiary of Goldcorp, Inc. also received observation letters from the Mexican Tax Authority for fiscal years 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2015 relating to additional matters associated with the Company’s operations in Mexico, with years 2016 and 2017 also remaining outstanding. In the second quarter of 2019, significant progress in settling a number of years and issues under dispute was made, resulting in $74 paid in June, which was fully accrued in the financial statements.  The outcome of any potential reassessments for the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries 2010-2016 fiscal years is not readily determinable but could have a material impact on the Company.  The Company believes that its tax positions are valid and intends to vigorously defend its tax filing positions.

State of Zacatecas’ Ecological Tax. In December 2016, the State of Zacatecas in Mexico approved new environmental taxes that became effective January 1, 2017. Certain operations at the Company’s Peñasquito mine may be subject to these taxes. Payments are due monthly in arrears with the first payment due on February 17, 2017. The legislation provides little direction for how the taxes are to be calculated and therefore, the Company is not able to estimate the amount of the taxes with sufficient reliability. Further, the Company believes that there is no legal basis for the taxes and filed legal claims challenging their constitutionality and legality on March 9, 2017. Other companies similarly situated also filed legal claims against the taxes. The Mexican federal government also filed a claim before the National Supreme Court against the State of Zacatecas challenging whether the State of Zacatecas had the

61

Table of Contents

NEWMONT GOLDCORP CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

constitutional authority to implement the taxes. On February 11, 2019, the National Supreme Court of Mexico ruled that the State of Zacatecas has the constitutional authority to implement environmental taxes, and that ruling was not subject to appeal. The Company’s case continued, and although there was an initial ruling in favor of the Company, this ruling was appealed by the local tax authorities. On October 15, 2019, the First Collegiate Circuit Court of the Auxiliary Center of the Eleventh Region reversed the favorable ruling (except with respect to one issue, which was affirmed in the Company’s favor). While the First Collegiate Circuit Court’s ruling is not subject to appeal, the Company is considering other potential defense mechanisms to challenge the taxes. As the Company is not able to estimate the amount of the taxes with sufficient reliability, no amounts have been recorded for any potential liability.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In connection with our investment in Galore Creek, Newmont will owe NovaGold Resources Inc. $75 upon the earlier of approval to construct a mine, mill and all related infrastructure for the Galore Creek project or the initiation of construction of a mine, mill or any related infrastructure. The amount due is non-interest bearing. The decision for an approval and commencement of construction is contingent on the results of a prefeasibility and feasibility study, neither of which have occurred. As such, this amount has not been accrued.

As part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, Newmont assumed deferred payments to Barrick of $154 as of September 30, 2019 to be satisfied through funding a portion of Barrick’s share of project expenditures at the Norte Abierto project.

On March 10, 2019, the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture (“Nevada JV Agreement”). On July 1, 2019 (the “effective date”), Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”), which combined certain mining operations and assets located in Nevada, historically included in the Company’s North America reportable segment, and certain of Barrick’s Nevada mining operations and assets. In connection with the closing of the Nevada JV Agreement, Newmont and Barrick entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of NGM, which is the primary operating document governing NGM. Pursuant to the terms of the Nevada JV Agreement, Newmont and Barrick hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Barrick acts as the operator of NGM with overall management responsibility and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers, which is comprised of two managers appointed by Newmont and three managers appointed by Barrick. Newmont and Barrick have an equal number of representatives on NGM’s technical, exploration and finance advisory committees.

The increases in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, are primarily due to the recognized gain on the formation of NGM as well as higher production due to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and higher third quarter average realized gold prices. For discussion regarding variations in production volumes and unit cost metrics, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The decreases in copper sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, are primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product for NGM, lower production at Boddington and lower average realized copper prices. For the comparable periods in 2018 and the first half of 2019, the Company recognized copper sales at its Phoenix operation as a co-product.

The increases in Depreciation and amortization for gold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, are primarily due to new production associated with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and the formation of NGM, partially offset by lower stockpile inventory adjustments.

The decreases in Depreciation and amortization for copper for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, are primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product, rather than a co-product, for NGM.

The Depreciation and amortization for silver, lead and zinc during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, is associated with production at Peñasquito resulting from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

For discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Reclamation and remediation increased by $31 and $69 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to an update of the project cost estimates at the Dawn, Mule Canyon and Northumberland sites, increased water management costs at the Con Mine and higher reclamation and remediation costs from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

Exploration increased by $40 and $56 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and increased expenditures at Coffee, Galore Creek, and various projects in Africa as we continue to focus on developing future reserves, partially offset by decreased spending in Nevada due to formation of NGM.

Advanced projects, research and development increased by $6 during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to increased spending at Coffee, Galore Creek, and various projects in Africa partially offset by lower spending associated with the Yanacocha Sulfides and lower spend in Nevada due to formation of NGM. Advanced projects, research and development decreased by $5 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018,

69

Table of Contents

primarily due to lower spending associated with the Yanacocha Sulfides and Chaquicocha Oxides projects in South America, partially offset by increased spending at Coffee, Galore Creek and various projects in Africa.

General and administrative increased $25 and $43 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

Impairment of long-lived assets decreased by $363 and $362 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to the impairment of long-lived assets in 2018 at certain exploration properties and the Emigrant operation in North America, due to the Company’s decision to focus on advancing other projects and a change in mine plan resulting in a significant decrease in mine life at Emigrant, respectively. For additional information regarding these impairments, see Note 8 and 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other expense, net increased $30 and $210 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to banking, legal, consulting services, severance and accelerated share award payments associated with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and banking, consulting and legal costs associated with the formation of NGM, including hostile defense fees.

Gain on formation of Nevada Gold Mines was $2,366 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to nil for the same period in 2018. The gain on formation of NGM represents the difference between the fair value of our 38.5% interest in NGM and the carrying value of the Nevada mining operations contributed. For additional information regarding the formation of NGM, see Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement.

Other income, net decreased by $6 and $31 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to a gain in 2018 from the exchange of certain royalty interests for cash consideration and an equity ownership and warrants in Maverix Metals Inc. (“Maverix”), insurance proceeds received in 2018 and decreasing foreign currency exchange gains. This decrease was partially offset by a gain in 2019 from the sale of exploration properties in North America and unrealized holdings gains on marketable equity securities in 2019.

Interest expense, net increased by $26 and $64 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to increased debt balances as a result of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and a decrease in capitalized interest.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $558 and $3 and $703 and $126 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the changes in tax law; (iv) valuation allowances on tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies; (vii) and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, year to year. This trend is expected to continue in future periods. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

Equity income (loss) of affiliates increased by $41 and $78 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to income from the Pueblo Viejo mine, an equity method investment acquired in the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Since the acquisition date and on an attributable basis, earnings before income, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“Pueblo Viejo EBITDA”) related to the Pueblo Viejo mine was $154, based on 169,000 ounces of attributable gold production during the period. Pueblo Viejo EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 86 for reconciliation to Equity income (loss) of affiliates.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(48) and $(100) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The change is primarily due to an increase in the Holt royalty obligation resulting from an increase in the expected gold price and a decrease in the discount rate. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $16 and $56 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The change was primarily due to a decrease in the Holt royalty obligation resulting from an increase in the discount rate and a decrease in the gold price.

For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 13 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests from continuing operations was $26 and $83 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and was $21 and $26 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The change is due to increased net income at Merian and Yanacocha.

Results of Consolidated Operations

In addition to gold and copper, we have added silver, lead and zinc as new metals following the completion of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Additionally, NGM is now included as part of the Nevada reportable segment as a result of the formation of NGM. Refer to Note 3 and Note 4 for further information on these transactions. Newmont has developed the gold equivalent ounces metric to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance. Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price, using Gold ($1,200/oz.), Copper ($2.75/lb.), Silver ($15/oz.), Lead ($0.90/lb.) and Zinc ($1.05/lb.) pricing for 2019 and Gold ($1,250/oz.) and Copper ($2.70/lb.) pricing for 2018.

Three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2018

Consolidated gold production increased 18% primarily due to new production from Éléonore, Porcupine, Peñasquito and Red Lake in North America and Cerro Negro in South America and higher ore grade milled at Ahafo in Africa, partially offset by lower ore grade milled at Kalgoorlie and Boddington in Australia, as well as Yanacocha and Merian in South America. Production at Musselwhite in North America continued to be impacted by the conveyor fire in March 2019. Production at Peñasquito in North America was impacted by the operation being placed into care and maintenance for 17 days in the third quarter of 2019 due to a blockade. The blockade was lifted in early October 2019; a gradual ramp up of operations started in late October while negotiations continue.

Consolidated gold equivalent ounces – other metals production increased 321% primarily due to new production at Peñasquito in North America, partially offset by the classification of copper as a by-product following the formation of NGM and lower ore grade milled at Boddington in Australia. Production at Peñasquito in North America was impacted by the operation being placed into care and maintenance for 17 days in the third quarter of 2019 following a blockade.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce increased 6% primarily due to higher gold price-related royalties, high unit costs at Peñasquito as a result of the blockade and higher unit costs at Red Lake due to a temporary pause in mining at the Cochenour complex, partially offset by higher ounces sold and lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals increased 5% primarily due to lower gold equivalent ounces – other metals sold, an unfavorable strip ratio and higher mill maintenance costs at Boddington in Australia.

Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce increased 43% primarily due to higher amortization rates from asset additions including new assets acquired following the completion of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and the formation of NGM, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals increased 31% primarily due to higher amortization rates from asset additions including new assets acquired following the completion of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold ounce increased 10% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce and higher sustaining capital spend. All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals increased 33% primarily due to higher sustaining capital spend, higher treatment and refining costs and higher costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce – other metals.

Nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2018

Three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2018

CC&V, USA. Gold production was in line with the prior year. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 8% primarily due to timing of gold sales. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce increased 11% primarily due to asset additions and timing of gold sales. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce increased 17% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce and higher sustaining capital spend.

Table of Contents

Red Lake, Canada. Gold production at Red Lake was 25,000 gold ounces in the third quarter of 2019. Production and cost metrics in the third quarter reflected a temporary pause in mining at the Cochenour complex while buttress work was completed to strengthen controls against potential water ingress. Mining resumed in October of 2019 following the completion of the work.

Musselwhite, Canada. There was no gold production at the Musselwhite mine site in the third quarter of 2019 following a conveyor fire in March 2019. Musselwhite resumed mining activities in the third quarter of 2019 and will continue stockpiling ore mined until processing activities are restarted, which is expected in the first half of 2020.

Porcupine, Canada. Gold production at Porcupine was 77,000 gold ounces in the third quarter of 2019. Production and cost metrics in the third quarter were impacted by lower tons mined at Hoyle Pond, the highest grade contributor to Porcupine, and costs related to early production at Borden, which achieved commercial production on October 1, 2019.

Éléonore, Canada. Gold production at Éléonore was 82,000 gold ounces in the third quarter of 2019.

Peñasquito, Mexico. Gold and gold equivalent ounces – other metals production at Peñasquito were 59,000 gold ounces and 203,000 gold equivalent ounces – other metals, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019. Production and cost metrics were impacted by the operation being placed into care and maintenance in the third quarter of 2019 due to a blockade. The blockade was lifted in early October 2019; a gradual ramp up of operations started in late October while negotiations continue.

Nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2018

CC&V, USA. Gold production increased 11% primarily due to higher leach recoveries from Valley Leach Fill 2 and a lower build up of concentrate inventory. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 27% primarily due to lower ore grade mined and higher leach pad inventory adjustments, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce increased 22% primarily due to asset additions and higher leach pad inventory adjustments. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce increased 25% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce.

Red Lake, Canada. Gold production at Red Lake was 65,000 gold ounces since the completion of the acquisition of the Red Lake mine site as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Production and cost metrics this year reflected on-going ramp up of mining at Cochenour, which achieved commercial production on April 1, 2019 and a temporary pause in mining at the Cochenour complex while buttress work was completed to strengthen controls against potential water ingress. Mining resumed in October of 2019 following the completion of the work.

Musselwhite, Canada. Gold production at Musselwhite was 3,000 gold ounces since the completion of the acquisition of the Musselwhite mine site as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Production and cost metrics this year were significantly impacted by a conveyor fire in March 2019. Musselwhite resumed mining activities in the third quarter of 2019 and will continue stockpiling ore mined until processing activities are restarted, which is expected in the first half of 2020. Since the fire, we collected $45 in insurance proceeds related to the conveyor fire of which $14 was recognized as an offset to the abnormal costs applicable to sales.

Porcupine, Canada. Gold production at Porcupine was 130,000 gold ounces since the completion of the acquisition of the Porcupine mine site as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. Production and cost metrics this year were impacted by lower tons mined at Hoyle Pond, the highest grade contributor to Porcupine, and costs related to early production at Borden, which achieved commercial production on October 1, 2019.

Éléonore, Canada. Gold production at Éléonore was 148,000 gold ounces since the completion of the acquisition of the Éléonore mine site as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not have a material impact on our revenue since gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc are sold throughout the world in U.S. dollars. Despite selling gold in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.

Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies, including the Australian dollar, the Peruvian sol, the Surinamese dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and the Argentine peso. Approximately 35% and 33% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, including approximately 20% denominated in the Australian dollar and 13% denominated in the Canadian dollar in the current year. Approximately 33% and 34% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, including approximately 22% denominated in the Australian dollar and 9% denominated in the Canadian dollar in the current year. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales by $12 per ounce during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily in Australia. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales by $14 per ounce during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily in Australia.

Our Cerro Negro mine, which was acquired as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and located in Argentina, is a U.S. dollar functional currency entity. On September 1, 2019, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of temporary foreign currency controls that will be in place until December 31, 2019 in an effort to stabilize the local currency (“currency controls”). These currency controls include conversion requirements of export proceeds to local currency, limits on banks’ use of foreign currency, restrictions on individuals’ foreign currency purchases, and the reintroduction of affidavits to verify foreign currency transactions comply with regulations. Argentina has also been considered a hyperinflationary environment with a cumulative inflation rate of over 100% for the last three years. Since the currency controls were enacted, the Company is required to convert metal sales proceeds to the Argentine Peso within five business days from receipt of cash in Argentina and obtain central bank approval for any dividends or distributions to the parent company. While we have balances denominated in Argentine pesos that relate to accounts payable and employee-related liabilities and tax receivables and liabilities, the majority of Cerro Negro’s activity has historically been denominated in U.S. dollars. Additionally, a component of the deferred tax liability is carried in Argentine pesos, which is impacted by fluctuations in the Argentine peso exchange rate. The currency controls have not had a significant impact on our financial statements in the third quarter of 2019 but could result in a material impact in the future if the currency controls are extended beyond December 31, 2019.

Our Merian mine is located in the country of Suriname, which has been considered a hyperinflationary environment in recent years with a cumulative inflation rate of over 100% for the last three years. Although we have balances denominated in Surinamese dollars that relate to labor and payroll liabilities, substantially all of Merian’s activity is denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, our exposure to fluctuations in the Surinamese dollar exchange rate is not significant to Newmont’s financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

We have a disciplined cash management strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and provide long-term value to our shareholders. Consistent with that strategy, we aim to self-fund development projects and make strategic partnerships focused on profitable growth, while reducing our debt and returning cash to stockholders through dividends.

At September 30, 2019, the Company had $2,712 in Cash and cash equivalents, of which $1,241 was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to U.S. dollars. At September 30, 2019, $431 of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents was attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily related to our Peru and Suriname operations, which is being held to fund those operations. At September 30, 2019, $1,093 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($676 attributable to Newmont) was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. We expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with the withholding taxes. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.

During the third quarter of 2019, we received net proceeds of $690 from the issuance of Senior Notes due in 2029. The proceeds from this issuance were primarily used to repay the outstanding balance on our 2019 Senior Notes of $626 on October 1, 2019. We believe our existing consolidated Cash and cash equivalents, available capacity on our revolving credit facility, and cash generated from continuing operations will be adequate to satisfy working capital needs, fund future growth, meet debt obligations, pay dividends and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 2019, no borrowings were outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $1,668 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $573 from the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to higher sales from the

Newmont Goldcorp transaction and a higher average realized gold price, partially offset by $185 paid for Newmont Goldcorp transaction and integration costs, $26 for Nevada JV Agreement transaction and integration costs, higher interest expense due to higher debt balances and costs incurred while the Peñasquito and Musselwhite mines were not operational.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(817) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease in cash used of $67 from the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to cash acquired in the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, higher Return of investment from equity method investees related to Pueblo Viejo, higher Proceeds from sale of investments and $20 in proceeds from the sale of exploration properties in North America, partially offset by higher Additions to property, plant and mine development in 2019 driven by higher capital expenditures on sustaining capital and higher Purchases of investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily related to the acquisition of convertible debt issued by Continental Gold, Inc. and marketable securities.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(1,506) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase in cash used of $1,160 from the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the repayment of a term loan and revolving credit facility acquired in the Newmont Goldcorp transaction totaling $1,250, higher Dividends paid to common stockholders due to the payment of the one-time special dividend of $470 and increased dividends due to an increase in the number of shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2019, proceeds from the sale of noncontrolling interests in 2018, higher Payments on lease and other financing obligations and higher net distributions to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by net proceeds of $690 from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes and no Repurchase of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Capital Expenditures

Cash generated from operations is used to execute our capital priorities, which include sustaining and developing our global portfolio of long-lived assets. We consider sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations, or related to projects at existing operations where these projects will enhance production or reserves, are considered non-sustaining or development capital. In addition, with the successful consummation of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company is focused on reprioritization of development projects in its pipeline to ensure that it executes on its capital priorities and provides long-term value to shareholders. The Company’s decision to reprioritize or abandon a development project could result in a future impairment charge.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we had Additions to property, plant and mine development as follows:

Environmental

Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. We perform a comprehensive review of our reclamation and remediation liabilities annually and review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the reclamation and remediation adjustments primarily related to an update of the project cost estimates that resulted in increases of $26, $9 and $4 at the Dawn, Mule Canyon and Northumberland sites, respectively, as well as increased water management cost estimates of $11 at the Con Mine. In July 2019, the company performed a comprehensive review of the reclamation and remediation liabilities related to the current and former operations acquired in the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, resulting in an increase of $271 to our reclamation and remediation liabilities. Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Goldcorp transaction. The formation of NGM resulted in a net decrease of $26 to our reclamation and remediation liabilities. Refer to Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the formation of NGM.

For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our reclamation obligations and the associated risks, refer to Part II, Item 7, Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the headings “Environmental” and “Critical Accounting Policies” and refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed February 21, 2019 on Form 10-K.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 7, 25 and 31 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures of our continuing operations in the tables below. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization

Management uses Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for non-core or certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income (loss), operating income (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Although Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted EBITDA are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Additionally, the Company uses Pueblo Viejo EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure to evaluate the operating performance of its investment in the Pueblo Viejo mine. Pueblo Viejo EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, Equity income (loss) of affiliates, as defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash distributions from Pueblo Viejo will match Pueblo Viejo EBITDA or earnings from affiliates. Although the Company has the ability to exert significant influence, it does not have direct control over the operations or resulting revenues and expenses, nor does it proportionately consolidate its investment in Pueblo Viejo. The Company believes that Pueblo Viejo EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the operating results of its investment in Pueblo Viejo, in the same manner as management and the Board of Directors. Equity income (loss) of affiliates is reconciled to Pueblo Viejo EBITDA as follows:

Adjusted net income (loss)

Management uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the sale of products, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. Adjustments to continuing operations are presented before tax and net of our partners’ noncontrolling interests, when applicable. The tax effect of adjustments is presented in the Tax effect of adjustments line and is calculated using the applicable regional tax rate. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) as follows:

Free Cash Flow

Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant and mine development as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.

The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. The Company’s definition of Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary

90

Table of Contents

expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow, as well as information regarding Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and other metals by gold ounces or gold equivalent ounces sold, respectively. These measures are calculated for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

All-In Sustaining Costs

Newmont has developed a metric that expands on GAAP measures, such as cost of goods sold, and non-GAAP measures, such as Costs applicable to sales per ounce, to provide visibility into the economics of our mining operations related to expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from our continuing operations.

Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain production. Therefore, we believe that all-in sustaining costs is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.

All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) amounts are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and in accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), or by reflecting the benefit from selling non-gold metals as a reduction to AISC. Differences may also arise related to definitional differences of sustaining versus development (i.e. non-sustaining) activities based upon each company’s internal policies.

The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining the all-in sustaining costs measure:

Costs applicable to sales. Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current production incurred to execute the current mine plan. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual amounts from Costs applicable to sales (“CAS”), such as significant revisions to recovery amounts. CAS includes by-product credits from certain metals obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. CAS is accounted for on an accrual basis and excludes Depreciation and amortization and Reclamation and remediation, which is consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In determining AISC, only the CAS associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold is included in the measure. Therefore, the amount of gold CAS included in AISC is derived from the CAS presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations less the amount of CAS attributable to the production of other metals at our Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines. The other metals CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines is based upon the relative sales value of gold and other metals produced during the period.

Reclamation costs. Includes accretion expense related to Reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) for the Company’s operating properties. Accretion related to the Reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation does not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation associated with current production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines.

Advanced projects, research and development and exploration. Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to sustain current production and exploration. We note that as current resources are depleted, exploration and advanced projects are necessary for us to replace the depleting reserves or enhance the recovery and processing of the current reserves to sustain production at existing operations. As these costs relate to sustaining our production, and are considered a continuing cost of a mining company, these costs are included in the AISC measure. These costs are derived from the Advanced projects, research and

92

Table of Contents

development and Exploration amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations less incurred expenses related to the development of new operations, or related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operation in the future. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines.

General and administrative. Includes costs related to administrative tasks not directly related to current production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfill our obligations to operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce basis.

Other expense, net. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses from Other expense, net, such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines.

Treatment and refining costs. Includes costs paid to smelters for treatment and refining of our concentrates to produce the salable metal. These costs are presented net as a reduction of Sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines.

Sustaining capital and finance lease payments. We determined sustaining capital and finance lease payments as those capital expenditures and finance lease payments that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. Sustaining finance lease payments are included beginning in 2019 in connection with the adoption of ASC 842. Refer to Note 2 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. We determined development (i.e. non-sustaining) capital expenditures and finance lease payments to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation. The classification of sustaining and development capital projects and finance leases is based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital and finance lease payments are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the Company’s current operations and provide improved transparency related to our ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals at the Peñasquito, Boddington, and Phoenix mines.

Accounting Developments

For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Listed below are the accounting policies that we believe are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported. Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) required us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements. We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and various other sources that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates we calculate due to changes in circumstances, global economics and politics, and general business conditions. A summary of our significant accounting policies is detailed in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We have outlined below those additional policies identified as being critical to the understanding of our business and results of operations and that require the application of significant management judgement.

Business Combinations

The Company recognizes and measures the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, while transaction and integration costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase consideration when compared to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill. For material acquisitions, the Company engages independent appraisers to assist with the determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using: (i) discrete financial forecasts, which rely on management’s estimates of reserve quantities and exploration potential, costs to produce and develop reserves, revenues, and operating expenses; (ii) long-term growth rates; (iii) appropriate discount rates; and (iv) expected future capital requirements (“income valuation method”). The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalized for any differences between the assets (“market valuation method”). The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset (“cost valuation method”). If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition date, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, the Company will record any material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the date of the acquisition. Any adjustment that arises from information obtained that did not exist as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded in the period the adjustments arises.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using both the income and market valuation methods. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company recognizes its pro rata share of Goodwill and any subsequent goodwill impairment losses recorded by unincorporated joint ventures in which it has an undivided interest.

Table of Contents

More detailed information regarding these factors is included in the section titled Item 1, Business; Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed February 21, 2019 and elsewhere throughout this report, including in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Newmont or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

ITEM 3.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).

Metal Prices

Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper, silver, lead and zinc also affect our profitability and cash flow. These metals are traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.

Decreases in the market price of metals can also significantly affect the value of our product inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates. The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and product inventory adjustments for each mine site reporting unit at September 30, 2019 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,472 and $1,300 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term copper price of $2.63 and $3.00 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term silver price of $16.99 and $18.00 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term lead price of $0.92 and $1.10 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term zinc price of $1.07 and $1.30 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. to Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.69 and $0.77, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.76 and $0.80, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. dollar to Mexican Peso exchange rate of $0.05 and $0.05, respectively and a short-term and long-term U.S. dollar to Argentinian Peso exchange rate of $0.02 and $0.02, respectively.

The net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

Hedging

Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We have and may continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.

By using hedges, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.

100

Table of Contents

We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or be subject to any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.

See Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commodity Price Exposure

Our provisional metal sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At September 30, 2019, Newmont had zinc sales of 64 million pounds priced at an average of $1.06 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

ITEM 4.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

During the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On April 18, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Goldcorp which operated under its own set of systems and internal controls. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company transitioned certain of Goldcorp’s processes to the Company’s internal control processes and added other internal controls over significant processes specific to the acquisition and to post-acquisition activities, including internal controls associated with the valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and the process of consolidating the Goldcorp business into the Company’s financial statements. The Company will continue the process of integrating internal controls over financial reporting throughout the remainder of the year.

On July 1, 2019, the Company consummated the transaction in which Newmont and Barrick each contributed certain mining operations and assets located in Nevada to a newly established entity, Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”). The Company deconsolidated its existing Nevada mining operations that were contributed to NGM in exchange for the fair value of its 38.5% economic interest in NGM. The Company is using the proportionate consolidation method of accounting for its investment in NGM. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has added internal controls over financial reporting for recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of NGM, including internal controls associated with the valuation of the Company’s investment in NGM.

There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1)The total number of shares purchased (and the average price paid per share) reflects shares delivered to the Company from stock awards held by employees upon vesting for the purpose of covering the recipients’ tax withholding obligations, totaling 19,847 shares, 53,612 shares and 20,368 shares for the fiscal months of July, August and September 2019, respectively.
(2)The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which the Company was authorized to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock award vesting in the current year, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased does not exceed $100 million, and no shares of common stock may be repurchased under the program after December 31, 2019. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the third quarter of 2019 under the stock repurchase program. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including trading volume, market conditions, legal requirements, business conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock.

ITEM 3.       DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

None.

ITEM 4.       MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

At Newmont, safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.

In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards.

The operation of our U.S. based mine is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mine on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.

Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report. It is noted that the Nevada mines owned by Nevada Gold Mines LLC, a joint venture between the Company (38.5%) and Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) (61.5%), are not included in the Company’s Exhibit 95 mine safety disclosure reporting as such sites are operated by our joint venture partner, Barrick.
