Second Quarter 2020 Highlights (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Net income: Delivered Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $412 or $0.51 per diluted share, an increase of $411 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher average realized gold prices, the increase in fair value of investments, lower operating costs and lower transaction and integration costs; partially offset by lower sales volumes from certain sites being placed in care and maintenance and the sale of Kalgoorlie.
Adjusted net income: Delivered Adjusted net income of $261 or $0.32 per diluted share, an increase of $0.20 from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
Adjusted EBITDA: Generated $984 in Adjusted EBITDA, an increase of 45% from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations of $1,607 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 84% from the prior year, and free cash flow of $999 (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
Attributable gold production: Produced 1.3 million ounces of gold, a decrease of 21% over the prior-year quarter.
Financial strength: Ended the quarter with $3.8 billion of consolidated cash and approximately $6.7 billion of liquidity.
Our global project pipeline
Newmont’s capital-efficient project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Near-term development capital projects are presented below. Additional projects represent incremental improvements to production and cost guidance.
Tanami Expansion 2, Australia. This project secures Tanami’s future as a long-life, low cost producer with potential to extend mine life to 2040 through the addition of a hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to achieve higher production and provide a platform for future growth. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production by approximately 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2023, and is expected to reduce operating costs by approximately 10 percent. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $49, of which $23 related to the second quarter of 2020.
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 project is on track for completion at the end of 2020.
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.
COVID-19 Update
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and has since spread worldwide, posing public health risks across the globe. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our 2020 business plan in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and related restrictions, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic we fully mobilized our business continuity plans and rapid response crisis management teams in early March 2020 and continue to work closely with host and indigenous communities, regional and national governments and medical experts to protect our workforce and nearby communities, while also taking steps to preserve the long-term value of our business.
Health and safety
We have implemented robust controls at our operations and offices around the globe, including heightened levels of health screening, canceling non-essential travel, establishing temperature and questionnaire screening at entry points to sites, establishing flexible and remote working plans for employees, establishing screening for fly-in-fly-out employees prior to their departures from their home communities, mandatory self-quarantine for anyone who has travelled internationally or has any flu-like symptoms and implementing “social distancing” protocols. As a global business with operations in eight countries, we are committed to doing our part to combat this disease and protect people and their livelihoods.

Table of Contents
In April 2020, we established the Newmont Global Community Support Fund, a $20 fund to help host communities, governments and employees combat the COVID-19 pandemic, of which approximately $6 has been distributed through June 30, 2020. The fund is designed to focus on employee and community health, food security and local economic resilience through partnerships with local governments, medical institutions, charities and non-governmental organizations to address the greatest needs with long-term resiliency and future community development in mind.
Impact on business and operations
Our operations have been affected by a range of external factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not within our control. For example, during the first quarter and into April 2020, we placed five sites into care and maintenance including Musselwhite and Éléonore in Canada, Peñasquito in Mexico, Yanacocha in Peru and Cerro Negro in Argentina to protect nearby communities and align with country mandated travel restrictions or health considerations. During the second quarter, we worked closely with local stakeholders to resume operations at all five of the above mine sites and activity was in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020.
Liquidity considerations
We believe we have sufficient liquidity on hand to manage the near-term and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. As of June 30, 2020, our available liquidity totals $6.7 billion consisting of our cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 billion and borrowing capacity of $2.9 billion available under our unsecured revolving credit facility. We will continue to review and assess the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our business, our people, the communities in which we operate, our suppliers and our customers to be responsive to developments while maintaining financial flexibility.
Refer to “Consolidated Financial Results,” “Results of Consolidated Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis for additional information about the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations. For a discussion of COVID-19 related risks to the business, see Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

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 Corporation, a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” 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, 2019 filed on February 20, 2020 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.
On April 18, 2019 (the “acquisition date”), Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, Inc. (“Goldcorp”), an Ontario corporation. 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 $9,456. For further information, see Note 3.
On March 10, 2019, the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture (“Nevada JV Agreement”). On July 1, 2019 (the “effective date”), Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”). As of the effective date, the Company contributed its Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon operations ("existing Nevada mining operations") and Barrick contributed certain of its Nevada mining operations and assets. Newmont and Barrick hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Barrick acts as the operator of NGM with overall management responsibility, and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers. The Company accounts for its interest in NGM using the proportionate consolidation method, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of NGM.
References to “C$” refer to Canadian currency.
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, impacts of global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic 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.​
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. In response, the Company temporarily placed five sites into care and maintenance, including Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro in March 2020 and Peñasquito in April 2020. The Company began resuming operations at Éléonore, Peñasquito, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro in May 2020 and Musselwhite in June 2020 and was in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020.
The impact of this pandemic could include additional sites being placed into care and maintenance, significant COVID-19 specific costs, volatility in the prices for gold and other metals, logistical challenges shipping our products, delays in product refining and smelting due to restrictions or temporary closures, additional travel restrictions, other supply chain disruptions and workforce interruptions, including loss of life. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19, this could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and could result in material impairment charges to the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill.
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.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Care and Maintenance
The Company incurs certain direct operating costs and depreciation and amortization costs when operations are temporarily halted and placed in care and maintenance. Direct operating costs incurred while operations are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Care and Maintenance as these costs do not benefit the productive process and are not related to sales. Depreciation and amortization costs incurred while operations are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Depreciation and amortization.
Credit Losses 
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, on January 1, 2020. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.
The Company holds certain financial instruments that are exposed to credit losses. The Company assesses each counterparty's ability to pay by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers our expected exposure, timing of payment, contract terms and conditions, and the counterparty's creditworthiness based on established credit ratings and financial position. We monitor ongoing credit exposure through review of counterparty balances against contract terms and due dates. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life of the underlying instrument utilizing various measurement methods. These include discounted cash flow and probability-of-default methods.
Investments
Management classifies investments at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is a change in the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence. The Company accounts for its investments in stock of other entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control, using the equity method of accounting. The ability to exercise significant influence is typically presumed when the Company possesses 20% or more of the voting interests in the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company increases its investment for contributions made and records its proportionate share of net earnings, declared dividends and partnership distributions based on the most recently available financial statements of the investee. In addition, the Company evaluates its equity method investments for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investment. Declines in fair value that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to Other Income, net. Equity method investments are included in Investments.
Additionally, the Company has certain marketable equity and debt securities. Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recorded in Other income, net. The Company accounts for its restricted marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") investments, net of taxes, are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Total equity, unless an impairment is deemed to be credit-related. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding charge to Other Income, net.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules
Credit Losses
In June 2016, ASU No. 2016-13 was issued which, together with subsequent amendments, is included in ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The standard changes the measurement of credit losses for certain financial instruments from an “incurred loss” model to an “expected loss” model.
The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $5 to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
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. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Statements
In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) finalized its proposed updates to Rule 3-10 within Regulation S-X, Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities (the “Rule”). The Rule simplifies the disclosure requirements for issuers and guarantors of securities that are registered or being registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Rule also eliminates the requirement to disclose condensed consolidating financial information within the financial statements for qualifying entities and permits abbreviated disclosures of the guarantor/issuer relationship within Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Rule is effective on January 4, 2021 and voluntary compliance prior to the effective date is permitted. The Company adopted the Rule effective January 1, 2020 and, as such, no longer includes condensed consolidating financial information within Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements. Abbreviated disclosures regarding the nature and relationship of debt guarantor/issuer relationships can now be found in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis under Liquidity and Capital Resources, Supplemental Guarantor Information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Equity Securities, Investments and Certain Forward Contracts and Options
In January 2020, ASU No. 2020-01 was issued which clarifies the interaction in accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2020, 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 or disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2021
Effects of Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, ASU No. 2020-04 was issued which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is still completing its evaluation of the impact of ASU 2020-04 and plans to elect optional expedients as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
NOTE 3     BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On April 18, 2019, 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 shareholders17  
Other non-cash consideration16  
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 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 and opportunities to identify additional mineralization through exploration activities; and (iv) the financial flexibility to execute capital priorities.

____________________________
(1)The 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.
(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 attributable to the North America and South America reportable segments is $2,091 and $459, respectively. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company reclassified $84 of goodwill previously allocated to the Red Lake reporting unit, and included in Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019, to other reporting units in the North America reportable segment as a result of refinements to deferred tax liability allocations during the first quarter that existed at the acquisition date. The Company disposed $47 of goodwill remaining at Red Lake on March 31, 2020 as part of the Red Lake Sale. See Note 9 for additional information.
(4)Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax benefit or future tax expense 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.
(5)The 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)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.
(7)The 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.
(8)Other liabilities includes the balance of $450 related to unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties.
Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Goldcorp revenue of $531 and $1,357, and Goldcorp net income (loss) of $(23) and $129, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Goldcorp revenue of $449 and Goldcorp net loss of $89 from the acquisition date through June 30, 2019.

NOTE 4     SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has organized its operations into five geographic regions: North America, South America, Australia, Africa and Nevada, which also represent Newmont’s reportable and operating segments. The results of these operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. As a result, these operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. Notwithstanding this 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 considered operating segments are included in Corporate and Other. Although they are not required to be included in this footnote, they are provided for reconciliation purposes:​

NOTE 6     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.

(1)As of June 30, 2019, an adjustment of $130 relating to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, was reclassified from remediation to reclamation, consistent with the presentation in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on February 20, 2020 on Form 10-K.
The current portion of reclamation liabilities was $80 and $125 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. The current portion of remediation liabilities was $43 and $44 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $3,382 and $3,334, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to operating and formerly 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $291 and $299, 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 37% greater or 0% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $52 and $53 respectively, of non-current restricted cash held for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations. Of the amounts at June 30, 2020, $47 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa and $5 related to NGM in Nevada, United States. Of the amounts at December 31, 2019, $47 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa, $5 related to NGM in Nevada, United States and $1 was related to the Midnite (Dawn) mine site in Washington, United States.
Included in Other non-current assets at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $56 and $55, respectively, of non-current restricted investments, which are legally pledged for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations. Of the amounts at June 30, 2020, $34 is related to the Midnite mine and Dawn mill sites and $22 is related to San Jose Reservoir. Of the amounts at December 31, 2019, $31 is related to the Midnite mine and Dawn mill sites and $24 is related to San Jose Reservoir.
Refer to Notes 23 and 26 for further discussion of reclamation and remediation matters.​

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).
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.

(2)Debt is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $6,030 and $6,138 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value measurement of debt was based on an independent third-party pricing source.
The fair values of the derivative instruments in the table above are presented on a net basis. The gross amounts related to the fair value of the derivative instruments above are immaterial. All other fair value disclosures in the above table are presented on a gross basis.​
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (which includes restricted cash and cash equivalents) are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using 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

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
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 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 market prices available in active markets.
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration assets was determined using discounted cash flow models. The contingent consideration assets consist of financial instruments that meet the definition of a derivative, but do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815. These are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the contingent consideration.
The Company’s derivative instruments consist of fixed forward contracts. These 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 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. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the Holt royalty obligation. Increases in the gold price and production scenarios will result in a corresponding increase of the Holt royalty obligation. On April 2, 2020, operations at the Holt mine were suspended until further notice. The production scenarios in the valuation model have been adjusted to reflect the delay in gold production while the mine operations are suspended.
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 Company’s marketable debt securities consist of an unrestricted convertible debenture with Continental (the “Continental Convertible Debt”). The estimated fair value of the host debt instrument 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. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the Continental Convertible Debt. In March 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Continental, which included the convertible debenture. Refer to Note 19 for further information.
The Continental conversion option is an embedded derivative in the Continental Convertible Debt agreement. 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. In March 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Continental, which included the conversion option. Refer to Note 19 for further information.
The following tables set forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:​

TMAC Resources, Inc.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $93, in Other income, net related to TMAC. The impairment charge was calculated using quoted market prices as of March 31, 2020.
During the second quarter of 2020, TMAC entered into an agreement to sell all of the company’s outstanding shares of TMAC to Shandong Gold Mining Co. Ltd. TMAC shareholders have approved the agreement and the transaction is pending regulatory approval.
Continental Gold, Inc.
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 had the ability to exercise significant influence over Continental and concluded that the investment qualified 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 was convertible into common shares of Continental at a price of C$3.00 per share. The debt was an unrestricted marketable debt

In March 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $1,000 unsecured Senior Notes due October 1, 2030 (“2030 Senior Notes”). Net proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes were $985. The 2030 Senior Notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.250% per annum. The proceeds from this issuance, supplemented with cash from the Company's balance sheet, were used to fund the debt tender offers of the 2022 Senior Notes, the 2023 Newmont Senior Notes and the 2023 Goldcorp Senior Notes in March 2020.
In March 2020, the Company launched the debt tender offers to purchase portions of its 2022 Senior Notes, 2023 Newmont Senior Notes and 2023 Goldcorp Senior notes. The tender offers included an early tender period that settled in March 2020 and a final tender period that settled in April 2020. In March 2020, the Company purchased approximately $495 of its 2022 Senior Notes, $487 of its 2023 Newmont Senior Notes and $18 of its 2023 Goldcorp Senior Notes related to its early tender period offers. In April 2020, the Company purchased approximately $5 of its 2022 Senior Notes and $81 of its 2023 Goldcorp Senior Notes through its final tender period offers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded charges from debt extinguishment of $3 and $77, respectively, in Other income, net, of which $3 and $69, respectively, represent a net pre-tax loss from extinguishment, and $— and $8, respectively were reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Environmental Matters
Refer to Note 6 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. The parties have finalized the ASAOC and the USFS published it in the Federal Register on July 8, 2020, for the 30-day public review and comment prior to becoming effective.
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 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 during the 2020 construction season with a focus on the Pit 3 aggregate production and the start of Phase 2 remediation activities. In the second quarter of 2020, Newmont submitted to the EPA and US Bank a request to draw down funds from the Department of Interior settlement payment in trust for work conducted by Newmont at the site, according to the terms of the Consent Decree.
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 $162 at June 30, 2020.
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. From 2011 to the first quarter of 2020, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. The water authority that is in charge of supervising the proper water administration has also issued notices of alleged regulatory violations in previous years. The experience with OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
outcome rather than a significant fine. The alleged OEFA violations currently active in 2020 range from zero to 278,737 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 10 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.001204 based on current exchange rates, with a total potential fine amount for outstanding matters of $— to $335.6. Yanacocha is 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​ 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 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 was selected to issue a decision and the parties conducted oral arguments in April 2019. In early February 2020, the additional judge ruled in favor of the tax authority, finalizing a decision of the Peru Supreme Court against Yanacocha. As a result of the decision, the amount of $29 was recognized during the first quarter of 2020, but Yanacocha filed an action objecting to potential excessive interest of up to $60. 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.​
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 on October 21, 2008, and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease; ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliament ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliament ratification; (iii) a 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.
On December 18, 2019, an individual plaintiff filed a writ against NGGL and other named defendants, including the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana, and other mining companies with interests in Ghana, seeking the same relief sought in the above-referenced case, plus perpetual and interlocutory injunctive relief to cease operations against NGGL and the other mining companies. 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 deductible intra group interest payments. Settlement discussions continue to progress on these matters and the Company expects to reach a settlement by the end of the year for significantly less than the reassessment.
A separate Mexican subsidiary of Goldcorp, Inc. received reassessments from the Mexican Tax Authority for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and audit observations relating to fiscal years 2010 through 2017. Disputed items include the treatment of intercompany charges, interest on related party debt, deductibility of mine stripping costs and the gain recognized on the sale of the mine. In the second quarter of 2019, significant progress in settling a number of years and issues was made, resulting in $96 payment, which was fully accrued in the financial statements. In the first quarter of 2020, settlement was reached with the Mexican Tax Authority for 2008 through 2010 for an immaterial amount, with conversations continuing for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2014 through 2017.
The outcome of these disputes 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. 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

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
the State of Zacatecas challenging whether the State of Zacatecas had the​ 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 further appeal and the Company currently has no legal challenges active with the Mexican courts, the Company is nonetheless not able to calculate the environmental taxes with sufficient reliability given that: (a) the legislation is broadly worded and despite the years of inquiries, the State of Zacatecas has not put forward any guidance on how the tax would be levied; and (b) certain claims by other companies similarly situated are still being resolved by the Supreme Court, the results of which may change the taxes payable by the Company. The Company, along with other companies in the State of Zacatecas, is continuing to meet with governmental authorities to understand how the environmental tax would be levied and has recorded immaterial amounts as potential estimates for the amount of the taxes.
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 $153 and $154 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, to be satisfied through funding a portion of Barrick’s share of project expenditures at the Norte Abierto project.These deferred payments to Barrick are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis.
This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2020.
Overview
Newmont is the world’s leading gold company and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and the Fortune 500 list of companies. We have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World for 13 consecutive years and have adopted the World Gold Council’s Conflict-Free Gold Policy. In June 2020, Newmont was ranked the top miner in 3BL Media’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens list which ranks the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies on environmental, social and governance transparency and performance. We are engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and copper properties. We have significant operations and/or assets in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia and Ghana.
During the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak escalated to a global pandemic, which has had varying impacts in the jurisdictions in which we operate. In response, the Company temporarily placed five sites into care and maintenance, including Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro in March 2020 and Peñasquito in April 2020. Operations at all five mine sites resumed in the second quarter of 2020 and activity was in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020.
Refer to the “Second Quarter 2020 Highlights”, “Results of Consolidated Operations”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Accounting Developments” for further information about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company.

On April 18, 2019 (the “acquisition date”), Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, Inc. (“Goldcorp”), an Ontario corporation. 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. The financial information included in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations during the period ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, includes the results of operations acquired in the Newmont Goldcorp transaction since April 18, 2019. For further information, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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”). As of the effective date, the Company contributed its Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon mines ("existing Nevada mining operations") and Barrick contributed certain of its Nevada mining operations and assets. 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. 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. The financial information included in the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations during the period ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, includes the results of operations of NGM since July 1, 2019.
We continue to focus on improving safety and efficiency at our operations, maintaining leading environmental, social and governance practices, and sustaining our global portfolio of longer-life, lower cost mines to generate the financial flexibility we need to strategically reinvest in the business, strengthen the Company’s investment-grade balance sheet and return cash to shareholders.

​The increase in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to higher average realized gold prices, the change in fair value of investments, lower operating costs as a result of reduced sales volumes, lower Goldcorp transaction and integration costs, lower exploration costs from the suspension of exploration drilling activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower remediation adjustments, partially offset by lower sales volumes due to temporarily placing certain operations into care and maintenance in addition to the sale of Kalgoorlie during 2020 and higher income and mining tax expense.
The increase in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to higher average realized gold prices, the recognized gain on the sales of Kalgoorlie, Continental Gold, Inc. ("Continental") and Red Lake in 2020, lower Goldcorp transaction and integration costs, the change in fair value of investments, lower exploration costs from the suspension of exploration drilling activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower remediation adjustments, partially offset by lower sales volumes due to temporarily placing certain operations into care and maintenance in addition to the sale of Kalgoorlie during 2020, higher amortization rates from the formation of NGM, the impairment charge of TMAC Resources, Inc. ("TMAC") and charges from debt extinguishment. For discussion regarding variations in production volumes and unit cost metrics, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The increase in gold sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to higher average realized gold prices, partially offset by lower ounces sold due to certain operations being placed into care and maintenance in addition to the sale of Red Lake and Kalgoorlie during 2020. The increase in gold sales during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily due to higher average realized gold prices and higher volumes sold at the sites acquired as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction driven by six months of operations in 2020 as compared to three months in 2019, partially offset by lower ounces sold due to certain operations being placed into care and maintenance in addition to the sale of Red Lake and Kalgoorlie during 2020. For further discussion regarding changes in volumes, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.
The decreases in copper sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, are primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product at Phoenix upon the formation of NGM on July 1, 2019, compared to a co-product for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and lower production at Boddington. For further discussion regarding changes in volumes, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.​
The increases in silver, lead and zinc sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are associated with increased production at Peñasquito primarily due to the blockade at Peñasquito in the prior year reducing production and six months of operations in 2020 as compared to three months in 2019, partially offset by Peñasquito being placed into care and maintenance during a portion of 2020.

The increases in Depreciation and amortization for gold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, are primarily due to higher amortization rates from the formation of NGM, increased sales volumes at Peñasquito, and Borden and Quecher Main achieving commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The decreases in Depreciation and amortization for copper for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, are primarily due to copper being produced as a by-product at Phoenix upon the formation of NGM on July 1, 2019.
The increases in Depreciation and amortization for silver, lead and zinc during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, are primarily due to the blockade at Peñasquito in the prior year reducing production and six months of operations in 2020 as compared to three months in 2019, partially offset by Peñasquito being placed into care and maintenance during a portion of 2020.

Reclamation and remediation decreased by $33 and $25 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to remediation adjustments in the prior year related to updates of project cost estimates at Dawn remediation site and water management cost estimates at Con mine.​
Exploration expense decreased by $43 and $40 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to suspension of exploration drilling activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Table of Contents
Advanced projects, research and development expense decreased by $6 and $6 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to lower spend in Nevada following the formation of NGM. The decrease for six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was also partially offset by increased spend associated with full potential opportunities in North America.
General and administrative expense decreased by $9 and $3 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to the progression of integration activities for the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and other cost reduction efforts. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was also partially offset by increased consulting services. General and administrative expense as a percentage of Sales was 3.0% and 2.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 3.6% and 3.4% in the same periods in 2019.
Care and maintenance was $125 and $145 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Care and maintenance represents direct operating costs incurred at sites temporarily placed into care and maintenance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other expense, net decreased by $78 and $113 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to decreases in transaction costs associated with the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and the Nevada JV Agreement, partially offset by COVID-19 specific costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and higher restructuring and other costs.
Gain on asset and investment sales, net was $(1) and $592 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and was $32 and $33 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The change for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 2019, is primarily due to the gain on the sale of exploration properties in North America in the second quarter of 2019. The change for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 2019, is primarily due to the 2020 sales of Kalgoorlie in Australia, the Red Lake complex in Canada and our investment in Continental. See Note 9 for additional information on asset sales and Note 19 for additional information on investment sales.
Other income, net increased by $140 and decreased by $93 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to larger increases in the fair value of investments in the current year, partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange losses in the current year compared to unrealized foreign exchange gains in the prior year. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment in TMAC and debt extinguishment charges, partially offset by larger increases in the fair value of investments in the current year.
Interest expense, net decreased by $4 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to lower interest rates as a result of the Company's recent debt refinancing transactions. Interest expense, net increased by $20 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 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 $164 and $20, and $141 and $145 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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; and (vii) 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.

​On March 18, 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act ("FFCR Act"), and on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") were each enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FFCR Act and the CARES Act contain numerous income tax provisions such as the accelerated recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits and relaxing limitations on the deductibility of interest and on the use of net operating losses. The Company has analyzed this legislation and has determined that it has no effect on the income tax expense. However, due to the provision accelerating the recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits, the Company expects to receive a refund of all outstanding alternative minimum tax credits by the end of the calendar year and has now reflected these amounts as an income taxes receivable included in Other current assets as of June 30, 2020.
In addition to the FFCR and CARES Acts, governments in various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, passed legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has evaluated these provisions and determined there is no impact on the income tax expense.
Equity income (loss) of affiliates was $29 and $66 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and was $26 and $21 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The year to date increase is primarily due to income of $83 from the Pueblo Viejo mine, which was acquired as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, earnings before income taxes and depreciation and amortization related to the Pueblo Viejo Mine (“Pueblo Viejo EBITDA”) was $82 and $183, respectively, and was $74 and $74 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,

respectively. Pueblo Viejo EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis. For additional information regarding our Equity income (loss) of affiliates, see Note 12.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(68) and $(83) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 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, partially offset by a deferral of planned production as the Holt operations were placed in care and maintenance by the operator. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(26) and $(52) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The change is primarily due to an increase in the Holt royalty obligation resulting from a decrease in the discount rate and an increase in the expected production and 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 $3 and $5 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and was $25 and $57 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The change is due to net losses at Yanacocha in the current year compared to net income in the prior year.
Results of Consolidated Operations
Newmont has developed gold equivalent ounces (“GEO”) metrics to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance related to copper, silver, lead and zinc. Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price, using the metal prices in the table below:
GoldCopperSilverLeadZinc
(ounce)(pound)(ounce)(pound)(pound)
2020 GEO Price$1,200  $2.75  $16.00  $0.95  $1.20  
2019 GEO Price$1,200  $2.75  $15.00  $0.90  $1.05  
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we safely placed the Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro mine sites temporarily into care and maintenance during March 2020 and we safely ramped down operations at Peñasquito in April 2020. Operations at all five mine sites resumed in the second quarter of 2020 and activity was in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $125 and $145 of cash and $70 and $77 of non-cash care and maintenance costs included in Care and maintenance and Depreciation and amortization, respectively.
During this period, our other mines continued to operate and have implemented heightened levels of health screening including, but not limited to, canceling non-essential travel, establishing temperature and questionnaire screening at entry points to sites, establishing flexible and remote working plans for employees, establishing screening for fly-in-fly-out employees prior to their departures from their home communities, mandatory self-quarantine for anyone who has travelled internationally or has any flu-like symptoms and implementing “social distancing” requirements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $33 and $35, respectively, of incremental direct costs related to our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, included in Other expense, net, as a result of these and other actions taken to protect our employees and operations, and to support the local communities in which we operate.

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019
Consolidated gold production decreased 23% primarily due to Yanacocha and Cerro Negro operations in South America and Éléonore operations in North America being placed into care and maintenance and lower ore grade mined at Ahafo and Akyem in Africa, in addition to the sale of Red Lake in North America and Kalgoorlie in Australia, partially offset by higher production at Peñasquito in North America due to the blockade in 2019, higher ore grade mined at Porcupine in North America, in addition to higher mill throughput and higher grade mined at Tanami in Australia. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in an effort to protect our workforce and nearby communities, operations at Musselwhite, Éléonore, Peñasquito, Cerro Negro and Yanacocha were temporarily in care and maintenance for a portion of the second quarter of 2020. Operations at all five mine sites resumed in the second quarter of 2020 and activity was in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020.
Consolidated gold equivalent ounces – other metals production increased 24% primarily due to the impact of the blockade in 2019 at Peñasquito in North America, partially offset by the classification of copper as a by-product at Phoenix following the formation of NGM, in addition to lower ore grade milled and lower throughput at Boddington.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce decreased 1% primarily due to lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments, partially offset by lower ounces sold. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals decreased 58% primarily due to higher gold equivalent ounces – other metals sold at Peñasquito in North America, partially offset by higher mill maintenance costs at Boddington in Australia, in addition to the classification of copper as a by-product at Phoenix in Nevada following the formation of NGM.
Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce increased 32% primarily due to care and maintenance costs this year, higher amortization rates from the formation of NGM and Borden and Quecher Main achieving commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2019. Included in Depreciation and amortization is $70 relating to care and maintenance costs. Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals decreased 16% primarily due to higher gold equivalent ounces - other metals sold, partially offset by care and maintenance costs at Peñasquito in North America.
All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold ounce increased 8% primarily due to care and maintenance costs, partially offset by lower sustaining capital spend. All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals decreased 41% primarily due to lower costs applicable to sales per gold equivalent ounce – other metals.
Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2019
Consolidated gold production decreased 8% primarily due to Yanacocha and Cerro Negro operations in South America, and Éléonore operations in North America being placed into care and maintenance and lower ore grade mined at Ahafo and Akyem in Africa, in addition to the sale of Kalgoorlie, partially offset by six months of operations at Éléonore, Porcupine and Peñasquito in North America and Cerro Negro in South America as compared to three months in 2019. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro operations were temporarily placed into care and maintenance in March 2020 and Peñasquito in April 2020. During this period, our remaining sites continued to operate. Operations at all five mine sites resumed in the second quarter of 2020 and activity was in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020.
Consolidated gold equivalent ounces – other metals production increased 200% primarily due to six months of operations in 2020 at Peñasquito in North America as compared to three months in 2019 and the impact of the blockade in 2019, partially offset by the classification of copper as a by-product at Phoenix following the formation of NGM and lower ore grade milled at Boddington in Australia.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce increased 5% primarily due to lower ounces sold, lower ore grade mined and higher strip ratio at Yanacocha in South America, lower ore grade mined at Ahafo in Africa, partially offset by lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold equivalent ounce – other metals decreased 49% primarily due to higher gold equivalent ounces – other metals sold and the impact of the blockade in 2019 at Peñasquito in North America, in addition to the classification of copper as a by-product at Phoenix in Nevada following the formation of NGM.
Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce increased 36% primarily due to care and maintenance costs this year, higher amortization rates from the formation of NGM and Borden and Quecher Main achieving commercial production in the

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 and silver 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 Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Surinamese dollar. Approximately 39% and 33% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, including approximately 21% denominated in the Australian dollar, 8% denominated in the Mexican peso and 7% 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 $23 per ounce during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily in Australia. Approximately 43% and 32% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, including approximately 18% denominated in the Australian dollar, 11% denominated in the Canadian dollar and 10% denominated in the Mexican peso 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 $25 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily in Australia.
Our Cerro Negro mine, which was acquired as part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction and is located in Argentina, is a U.S. dollar functional currency entity. On September 1, 2019, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency, with additional controls enacted on May 29, 2020 (“currency controls”). These currency controls include conversion requirements of export proceeds to local currency, limits on exchanges to foreign currencies 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 at Cerro Negro and obtain central bank approval for any dividends or distributions to the parent company. Additionally, the Company is required to pay foreign obligations using offshore funds prior to accessing the onshore foreign exchange market. 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

Table of Contents
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 since the date of enactment. We have been successful in distributing cash from Cerro Negro through registered intercompany debt and do not expect the currency controls to have a significant impact on our liquidity.
Our Merian mine is located in the country of Suriname, which has experienced significant swings in inflation rates for the last three years. On March 24, 2020, Suriname's central bank enacted the Act Controlling Currency Transactions and Transactions Bureaus in an effort to stabilize the local currency (the "Act"), which was subsequently halted by an interim order and deemed unconstitutional by the Surinamese court. This Act includes a provision on the repatriation of export earnings and restrictions on imports; however, Newmont and the Republic of Suriname have a Mineral Agreement in place superseding these provisions. Therefore, we do not expect there to be a current or future impact to our operations or financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview
We have a disciplined cash allocation strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and generate long-term value for 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 and share repurchases.
During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our workforce, their families and neighboring communities in which we operate, we put five mine sites temporarily into care and maintenance during March and April 2020, while the remaining sites continued to operate. Operations at all five mine sites resumed in the second quarter of 2020 and activity was in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020.
We have not had significant shipping delays for produced metals, and third-party refineries that were previously closed have since reopened. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, additional sites could be placed into care and maintenance; transportation industry disruptions could occur, including limitations on shipping produced metals; refineries or smelters could be temporarily closed; our supply chain could be disrupted; or we could incur credit related losses of certain financial assets, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. As of June 30, 2020, our available liquidity totals $6,736, consisting of our cash and cash equivalents of $3,808 and borrowing capacity of $2,928 available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which we believe allows us to manage the near-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.
In December 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $1 billion of common stock to be repurchased in the next 12 months. Through June 30, 2020, we have executed trades totaling $800 of common stock repurchases, of which $321 were settled as of June 30, 2020 and $479 were settled as of December 31, 2019. In January 2020, we announced a plan to increase our quarterly dividend from $0.14 per share to $0.25 per share. In April 2020, the Board approved and declared the first quarter dividend of $0.25, for a total of $201 paid in the second quarter of 2020. In July 2020, the Board approved and declared the second quarter dividend of $0.25. The Company’s management and board of directors continue to monitor Newmont’s future quarterly dividends and timing of future share buybacks as it monitors the ongoing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At June 30, 2020, the Company had $3,808 in Cash and cash equivalents, of which $1,170 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 June 30, 2020, $425 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 June 30, 2020, $1,017 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($600 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 are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.
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 June 30, 2020, our borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility was $2,928 and we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We do not expect any limitations on our ability to access our revolving credit facility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to remain compliant with covenants and there have been no impacts to-date, nor do we anticipate any negative impacts from COVID-19, on our ability to access funds available on this facility.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities$(877) $(2,036) 
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $1,607 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $732 from the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a higher average realized gold price and an increase in collections on receivable balances, partially offset by lower sales volume due to five sites being temporarily placed into care and maintenance for a portion of the quarter in addition to the sales of the Kalgoorlie and Red Lake operations during 2020.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $839 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase in cash provided of $1,218 from the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the sale of the Kalgoorlie and Red Lake operations, the sale of our investment in Continental Gold and lower Purchases of investments in 2020, partially offset by net cash and cash equivalents acquired in the Newmont Goldcorp transaction in 2019 and lower Return of investment from equity method investees related to Pueblo Viejo in 2020.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(877) during the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease in cash used of $1,159 from the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the issuance of 2.25% 2030 Senior Notes in 2020, the 2019 payment of a one-time special dividend related to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, lower debt payments in 2020 and cash received for Newmont stock options exercised in 2020, partially offset by 2020 repurchases of common stock under the share buyback plan.
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.

Supplemental Guarantor Information
In September 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended, which enables us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, our debt securities may be guaranteed by Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), one of our consolidated subsidiaries.

Table of Contents
These guarantees are full and unconditional, and no other of our subsidiaries guarantees any security issued and outstanding. There are no restrictions on the ability of Newmont, as issuer, or Newmont USA, as guarantor (collectively, the “Obligor Group”), to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend, loan or otherwise.​ Additionally, the cash provided by operations of the Obligor Group and all of its subsidiaries is available to satisfy debt repayments as they become due, except to the extent of any rights of noncontrolling interests. Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests were $924 and $950 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. All noncontrolling interests relate to non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Newmont and Newmont USA are primarily holding companies with no material operations, sources of income or assets other than equity interest in their subsidiaries and intercompany receivables or payables. Newmont USA’s primary investments are comprised of its 38.5% interest in NGM and 51.35% interest in Yanacocha. Prior to July 1, 2019, Newmont USA included certain operations from our existing Nevada mining operations, which were contributed in exchange for our 38.5% interest in NGM. For further information regarding these operations, see Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Results of Consolidated Operations. For further information regarding Newmont’s other operations, see our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Results of Consolidated Operations.
In addition to equity interests in subsidiaries, the Obligor Group’s balance sheets consisted primarily of the following intercompany assets, intercompany liabilities and external debt. The remaining assets and liabilities of the Obligor Group are considered immaterial at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Newmont USA's subsidiary guarantees (the “subsidiary guarantees”) are general unsecured senior obligations of Newmont USA and rank equal in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's future subordinated indebtedness. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont USA to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
At June 30, 2020, Newmont USA had approximately $5,853 of consolidated indebtedness (including guaranteed debt), all of which relates to the guarantees of indebtedness of Newmont.
Under the terms of the subsidiary guarantees, holders of Newmont’s securities subject to such subsidiary guarantees will not be required to exercise their remedies against Newmont before they proceed directly against Newmont USA.
Newmont USA will be released and relieved from all its obligations under the subsidiary guarantees in certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:
upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other interests of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates);
upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates); or
upon such time as Newmont USA ceases to guarantee more than $75 aggregate principal amount of Newmont’s debt (at June 30, 2020, Newmont USA guaranteed $600 aggregate principal amount of debt of Newmont that did not contain a similar fall-away provision).
Newmont’s debt securities are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. At June 30, 2020, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $6,678, none of which was secured (other than $648 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $6,284 of total liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany and external debt and reclamation and remediation liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to Newmont’s debt securities.
For further information on Newmont’s debt subject to the subsidiary guarantees, see Note 22 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2019, except as noted in Note 22 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2019 for information regarding our contractual obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There have been no material changes in our off-balance sheet arrangements since December 31, 2019. Refer to Part II, Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2019, for information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements.​
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 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, 2019, filed February 20, 2020 on Form 10-K.
For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 6 and 26 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:

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:

(13)Adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share is calculated using diluted common shares, which are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
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 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 4 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.
73

Table of Contents
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 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.
Care and maintenance and Other expense, net. Care and maintenance includes direct operating and development capital costs incurred at the mine sites during the period that these sites were temporarily placed into care and maintenance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For Other expense, net we exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses, 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. 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 and are excluded from the calculation of AISC. 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.​
COVID-19 Assessment
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic described above we have reviewed and evaluated our long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable for long-lived assets and determined that no impairment indicators existed as of June 30, 2020. Developments have been occurring rapidly with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and its impact on human health and businesses. However, as of June 30, 2020, we determined that our long-lived assets had no impairment indicators as the restrictions are viewed as temporary and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including those assets temporarily placed on care and maintenance during a portion of the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Additionally, we reassessed whether the COVID-19 pandemic required an interim goodwill impairment analysis of our reporting units and determined that no impairment indicators were present as of June 30, 2020. While five of our mines had been placed in care and maintenance for a temporary period of time in the second quarter, all of the mines had resumed operations and were in various stages of ramping up as of June 30, 2020. No impairment indicators were present as there has not been deterioration in gold prices and COVID-19 related impacts were not expected to have a material impact on the fair value of the Company's reporting units.
We have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts and potential impacts on our business. However, because of the changing developments with respect to the spread of COVID-19 and the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we are unable to predict the extent and duration of any potential adverse financial impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Future developments could impact our assessment and result in material impairments to our long-lived assets or goodwill.
Refer to our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Accounting Developments and Critical Accounting Policies included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2020 for additional information on our critical accounting policies and estimates.

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 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 June 30, 2020 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,711 and $1,300 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term copper price of $2.43 and $3.00 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term silver price of $16.38 and $18.00 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term lead price of $0.76 and $1.05 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term zinc price of $0.89 and $1.30 per pound, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. to Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.66 and $0.77, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.72 and $0.80, respectively, a short-term and long-term U.S. dollar to Mexican Peso exchange rate of $0.04 and $0.05, respectively and a short-term and long-term U.S. dollar to Argentinian Peso exchange rate of $0.01 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.
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 respective metal 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 June 30, 2020, Newmont had gold sales of 138,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,769 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $25 change in the price for provisionally priced gold sales would have an approximate $2 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London Bullion Market Association P.M. closing settlement price at June 30, 2020 for gold was $1,768 per ounce.
At June 30, 2020, Newmont had copper sales of 11 million pounds priced at an average of $2.74 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.10 change in the price for provisionally priced copper sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at June 30, 2020 for copper was $2.74 per pound.​
At June 30, 2020, Newmont had silver sales of 2 million ounces priced at an average of $17.85 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.50 change in the price for provisionally priced silver sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London Bullion Market Association closing settlement price at June 30, 2020 for silver was $18.18 per ounce.
At June 30, 2020, Newmont had lead sales of 15 million pounds priced at an average of $0.80 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.05 change in the price for provisionally priced lead sales would have an approximate $—

effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at June 30, 2020 for lead was $0.81 per pound.
At June 30, 2020, Newmont had zinc sales of 42 million pounds priced at an average of $0.93 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.05 change in the price for provisionally priced zinc sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at June 30, 2020 for zinc was $0.93 per pound.
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.
Despite five operations being temporarily placed into care and maintenance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for a portion of the second quarter, the Company’s site, regional and corporate office controls continue to operate as designed.

There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.​

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” crisis management 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 health and safety of our people and our host communities is paramount. This is why Newmont engaged its Rapid Response process early in connection with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and proactively took conservative steps to prevent further transmission of the Coronavirus. These include but not limited to:
Strict social distancing protocols and suspension of large indoor gatherings;
Flexible and remote working plans for employees;
Enhancing temperature and questionnaire screening at entry to sites;

Table of Contents
Providing logistical and healthcare support to nearby communities where needed;
Cancelling all non-essential travel;
Reducing the number of people working on our operating sites to the essential numbers required to operate and maintain the mines, processing plants and environmental control management systems;
Implementing strict physical distancing protocols in planes, buses, light vehicles, offices and dining facilities;
Increased frequency of deep cleaning and sanitization of surfaces; and
Mandatory self-quarantine for anyone who has traveled internationally, has flu-like symptoms or who has had direct contact with any person known to have COVID-19.
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. As of the date of filing, Newmont has received no MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations by MSHA in connection with COVID-19 related regulations or requirements.
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.​
