Advancing Portfolio Optimization with Sale of Lundin Gold
Financing Facilities
Newmont announced today that Lundin Gold Inc. (Lundin Gold) has
agreed to buy out 100 percent of the balance of the stream credit
facility agreement and offtake agreement for the Fruta del Norte
gold mine in Ecuador for total consideration of $330 million,
payable in cash in two tranches: $180 million as of the expected
closing date of June 28, 2024, and the remaining $150 million by
September 30, 2024. Newmont has maintained its exposure to the
Fruta del Norte operation through its equity interest in Lundin
Gold.
In connection with the acquisition of Newcrest and the Company's
strategy to create lasting value, Newmont committed to delivering
at least $2 billion in near-term cash improvements through
portfolio optimization within the first two years. The early
repayment of the facilities is another step in delivering on this
commitment as Newmont continues to build a more profitable and
resilient future for the business.

FIRST QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL AND PRODUCTION SUMMARY
Attributable gold production1 decreased 4 percent to
1,675 thousand ounces from the prior quarter primarily due to lower
production at Tanami due to a planned mill shutdown and seasonal
rainfall impacts, and the ongoing stripping campaigns at Boddington
and Akyem. In addition, lower production was delivered from the
non-managed joint venture at Nevada Gold Mines. This unfavorable
impact was partially offset by higher production at Peñasquito and
Yanacocha, as well as a full quarter of ownership of the sites
acquired in the Newcrest transaction. Full year production for 2024
is expected to be second-half weighted as previously indicated.
Looking ahead, operations at Cerro Negro are currently suspended
as a full investigation is conducted following the tragic
fatalities of two members of the Newmont workforce on April 9,
2024. In addition, operations are temporarily suspended at Telfer,
one of Newmont's non-core assets, as further work is completed to
remediate the safe operation of the tailings storage facility.
Average realized gold price was $2,090, an increase of
$86 per ounce over the prior quarter. Average realized gold price
includes $2,082 per ounce of gross price received, a favorable
impact of $19 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced
sales and reductions of $11 per ounce for treatment and refining
charges.
Gold CAS2 totaled $1.7 billion for the quarter. Gold
CAS per ounce3 was largely in line with the prior quarter at
$1,057 per ounce.
Gold AISC per ounce3 was largely in line with the prior
quarter at $1,439 per ounce, with a slight improvement from lower
sustaining capital spend.
Attributable gold equivalent ounce (GEO) production from
other metals increased 69 percent to 489 thousand ounces from
the prior quarter primarily due to the ramp-up of Peñasquito to
full operations after the resolution of the labor strike in the
fourth quarter of 2023, combined with higher co-product grades from
the Chile Colorado pit. In addition, Cadia delivered higher copper
production.
CAS from other metals2 totaled $416 million for the
quarter. CAS per GEO3 decreased 34 percent to $829 per ounce
from the prior quarter primarily due to higher other metal sales as
a result of the increased volumes at Peñasquito.
AISC per GEO3 decreased 33 percent to $1,148 per ounce
compared to the prior quarter primarily due to lower CAS per GEO as
a result of the increased volumes at Peñasquito, as well as lower
sustaining capital spend.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Newmont
stockholders was $166 million or $0.15 per diluted share, an
increase of $3.3 billion from the prior quarter primarily due to
the recognition of impairment charges and higher reclamation and
remediation expense during the fourth quarter of 2023, as well as
higher average realized gold prices and lower CAS in the first
quarter of 2024.
Adjusted net income4 was $630 million or $0.55 per
diluted share, compared to $452 million or $0.46 per diluted share
in the prior quarter. Primary adjustments to first quarter net
income include a loss on assets held for sale of $485 million,
changes in the fair value of investments of $31 million, Newcrest
transaction and integration costs of $29 million and settlement
costs of $21 million.
Adjusted EBITDA4 increased 23 percent to $1,694 million
for the quarter, compared to $1,382 million for the prior
quarter.
Consolidated cash from operations before working capital5
increased 86 percent from the prior quarter to $1.4 billion
primarily due to higher realized gold prices, lower CAS and lower
Newcrest transaction and integration costs.
Consolidated net cash from operating activities increased
26 percent from the prior quarter to $776 million primarily due to
the improvement in cash from operations described above, partially
offset by a $666 million reduction in operating cash flow due to
changes in working capital, including a $291 million stamp duty
payment in connection with the Newcrest acquisition, a build in
inventories, stockpiles and ore on leach pads of $193 million, a
build in accounts receivable of $84 million and reclamation spend
of $59 million, primarily related to the construction of the
Yanacocha water treatment facilities.
Free Cash Flow7 was $(74) million compared to $(304)
million in the prior quarter primarily due to lower sustaining and
development capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures6 decreased 8 percent from the prior
quarter to $850 million primarily due to lower sustaining and
development capital spend. Development capital expenditures in 2024
primarily relate to Ahafo North, Tanami Expansion 2, Cadia Block
Caves and Cerro Negro expansion projects.
Balance sheet and liquidity remained strong in the first
quarter, ending the quarter with $2.3 billion of consolidated cash,
cash of $342 million included in Current assets held for sale, with
approximately $6.7 billion of total liquidity; reported net debt to
adjusted EBITDA of 1.2x8.
NON-MANAGED JOINT VENTURE AND EQUITY METHOD
INVESTMENTS9
Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) attributable gold production was
264 thousand ounces, with CAS of $1,177 per ounce3 and AISC of
$1,576 per ounce3 for the first quarter.
Pueblo Viejo (PV) attributable gold production was 54
thousand ounces for the quarter. Cash distributions received for
the Company's equity method investment in Pueblo Viejo totaled $45
million in the first quarter. Capital contributions of $9 million
were made during the quarter related to the expansion project at
Pueblo Viejo.
Fruta del Norte attributable gold production is reported
on a quarter lag. Production reported in the first quarter of 2024
was 21 thousand ounces. Cash distributions received from the
Company's equity method investment in Fruta del Norte were $8
million for the first quarter.
____________________
1 Attributable gold production includes
ounces from the Company's equity method investment in Pueblo Viejo
(40%) and in Lundin Gold (31.9%).

9 Newmont has a 38.5% interest in Nevada
Gold Mines, which is accounted for using the proportionate
consolidation method. In addition, Newmont has a 40% interest in
Pueblo Viejo, which is accounted for as an equity method
investment, as well as a 31.9% interest in Lundin Gold, who wholly
owns and operates the Fruta del Norte mine, which is accounted for
as an equity method investment on a quarter lag.
Key Projects in Execution
Newmont’s project pipeline supports stable production with
improving margins and mine life1. Newmont's 2024 outlook includes
current development capital costs and production related to the key
projects of Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North and Cadia Block
Caves.
- Tanami Expansion 2 (Australia)
secures Tanami’s future as a long-life, low-cost producer by
extending mine life beyond 2040 through the addition of a 1,460
meter hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to process 3.3
million tonnes per year and provide a platform for future growth.
The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold
production by approximately 150 to 200 thousand ounces per year for
the first five years and reduce operating costs by approximately 30
percent, bringing average all-in sustaining costs to $900 to $1,000
per ounce for Tanami (2028 - 2032). As a result of the
identification of required overbreak and underbreak remediation,
commercial production for the project is now expected in the second
half of 2027. Total capital costs are now estimated to be between
$1.7 and $1.8 billion, incorporating the required remediation work.
Development costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval
were $806 million, of which $54 million related to 2024.
- Ahafo North (Ghana) expands our
existing footprint in Ghana with four open pit mines and a
stand-alone mill located approximately 30 kilometers from the
Company’s Ahafo South operations. The project is expected to add
between 275 and 325 thousand ounces per year with all-in sustaining
costs of $800 to $900 per ounce for the first five full years of
production (2026 - 2030). Ahafo North is the best unmined gold
deposit in West Africa with approximately 4.1 million ounces of
Reserves and 1.3 million ounces of Measured, Indicated and Inferred
Resources2 and significant upside potential to extend beyond Ahafo
North’s current 13-year mine life. Commercial production for the
project is expected in the second half of 2025. Total capital costs
are estimated to be between $950 and $1,050 million. Development
costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $434
million, of which $59 million related to 2024.
- Cadia Block Caves (Australia)
includes two existing panel caves to recover approximately 5.9
million ounces of Gold Reserves as well as 1.3 million tonnes of
Copper Reserves. First ore has been delivered from the first panel
cave (PC2-3), and development is underway at the second panel cave
(PC1-2). The newly-acquired project is currently under review, and
a more fulsome update on the anticipated metrics is expected to be
provided in the second half of 2024. Development capital costs
(excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $76 million,
of which $40 million related to 2024.
Committed to Concurrent Reclamation
Since mines operate for a finite period, careful closure
planning is crucial to address the diverse social, economic,
environmental and regulatory impacts associated with the end of
mining operations. Newmont’s global Closure Strategy integrates
closure planning throughout each operation’s lifespan, aiming to
create enduring positive and sustainable legacies that last long
after mining ceases. Newmont continues to accrue to reclamation and
remediation spend through the year. Newmont expects to incur a cash
outflow of approximately $600 million in 2024 and $700 million in
2025, primarily related to the construction of two new water
treatment plants and post-closure management at Yanacocha. The
operation’s ongoing closure planning study advanced to the
feasibility state in December 2023 and continues to address several
complex closure issues, including water management, social impacts
and tailings. A long-term water management solution will replace
five existing water treatment facilities with two, addressing the
watersheds along the continental divide. Certain estimated costs
remain subject to revision as ongoing study work and assessment of
opportunities that incorporates the latest design considerations
remain in progress.

estimates or expectations of future production results as of
February 22, 2024. Outlook is based upon certain assumptions,
including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain
exchange rates and other assumptions. For example, 2024 Outlook
assumes $1,900/oz Au, $8,818/tonne Cu, $23.00/oz Ag, $2,976/tonne
Zn, $2,205/tonne Pb, $0.70 AUD/USD exchange rate, $0.75 CAD/USD
exchange rate and $90/barrel WTI. Production, CAS, AISC and capital
estimates exclude projects that have not yet been approved. The
potential impact on inventory valuation as a result of lower
prices, input costs, and project decisions are not included as part
of this Outlook. Assumptions used for purposes of Outlook may prove
to be incorrect and actual results may differ from those
anticipated, including variation beyond a +/-5% range. Outlook
cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance upon Outlook and forward-looking statements as there
can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations
upon which they are placed will occur. Amounts may not recalculate
to totals due to rounding. See cautionary at the end of this
release.
b All-in sustaining costs (AISC) as used
in the Company’s Outlook is a non-GAAP metric; see below for
further information and reconciliation to consolidated 2024 CAS
outlook.
c Consolidated production for Merian is
presented on a total production basis for the mine site;
attributable production represents a 75% interest for Merian.
d Represents the ownership interest in the
Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) joint venture. NGM is owned 38.5% by
Newmont and owned 61.5% and operated by Barrick. 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.
e Attributable production includes
Newmont’s 40% interest in Pueblo Viejo, which is accounted for as
an equity method investment.
f Attributable production includes
Newmont’s 31.9% interest in Lundin Gold, who wholly owns and
operates the Fruta del Norte mine, which is accounted for as an
equity method investment on a quarter lag.

Attributable gold ounces sold excludes
ounces related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by
Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment, and the
Fruta del Norte mine, which is wholly owned by Lundin Gold whom the
Company holds a 31.9% interest and is accounted for as an equity
method investment.
(2)
For the three months ended June 30, 2023
and September 30, 2023, Peñasquito production was impacted due to
the suspension of operations as a result of the Union labor strike.
Sales activity recognized in the third quarter of 2023 was related
to adjustments on provisionally price concentrate sales subject to
final settlement. Consequently, price per ounce/pound metrics are
not meaningful ("N.M").
(3)
Represents attributable gold from
Newmont's 40% interest in Pueblo Viejo, which is accounted for as
an equity method investment. Attributable gold ounces produced at
Pueblo Viejo are not included in attributable gold ounces sold, as
noted in footnote (1). Income and expenses of equity method
investments are included in Equity income (loss) of affiliates.
(4)
Represents attributable gold from
Newmont's 31.9% interest in Lundin Gold, who wholly owns and
operates the Fruta del Norte mine, which is accounted for on a
quarterly-lag as an equity method investment. Attributable gold
ounces produced by Lundin Gold represent prior quarter production
and are not included in attributable gold ounces sold, as noted in
footnote (1). Income and expenses of equity method investments are
included in Equity income (loss) of affiliates.
(5)
Sites are classified as held for sale as
of March 31, 2024.

cash, included in Other current assets and Other non-current
assets, were reclassified to Current assets held for sale and
Current liabilities held for sale, respectively.

development, which is included in the Company’s computation of Free
Cash Flow.
Attributable Free Cash Flow
Management uses Attributable Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP
measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations that are
attributable to the Company. Attributable Free Cash Flow is Net
cash provided by (used in) operating activities after deducting net
cash flows from operations attributable to noncontrolling interests
less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of
discontinued operations after deducting net cash flows from
discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests
less Additions to property, plant and mine development after
deducting property, plant and mine development attributable to
noncontrolling interests. The Company believes that Attributable
Free Cash Flow is useful as one of the bases for comparing the
Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Attributable
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 Attributable Free Cash Flow is not
necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of
other companies.
The presentation of non-GAAP Attributable Free Cash Flow is not
meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Net
income attributable to Newmont stockholders as an indicator of the
Company’s performance, or as an alternative to Net cash provided by
(used in) 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 Attributable 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
Attributable Free Cash Flow as a measure that provides supplemental
information to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flows.
The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Attributable
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 Attributable
Free Cash Flow, as well as information regarding Net cash provided
by (used in) investing activities and Net cash provided by (used

Net Debt
Net Debt is calculated as Debt and Lease and other financing
obligations less Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits
included in Time deposits and other investments, as presented on
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash and cash
equivalents and time deposits are subtracted from Debt and Lease
and other financing obligations as these are highly liquid,
low-risk investments and could be used to reduce the Company's debt
obligations.

non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt and Lease and other financing
obligations, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial

Current assets held for sale and Current liabilities held for sale,
respectively.
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent
ounce
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce 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.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the
most directly comparable GAAP measures.

component of the forward-looking All-in sustaining costs per ounce
are independently calculated and, as a result, the total All-in
sustaining costs and the All-in sustaining costs per ounce may not
sum to the component ranges. While a reconciliation to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure has been provided for the 2024
AISC Gold Outlook on a consolidated basis, a reconciliation has not
been provided on an individual site or project basis in reliance on
Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K because such reconciliation
is not available without unreasonable efforts.

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio
Management uses net debt to Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP measures
to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, including our
ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt. Net
debt to Adjusted EBITDA represents the ratio of the Company’s debt,
net of cash and cash equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt to
Adjusted EBITDA does 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 does
not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to
fund cash needs. Although Net Debt to 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 net debt to Adjusted EBITDA measure is not
necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of
other companies. The Company believes that net debt to 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 net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is
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 EBITDA as follows:

adjusted EBITDA to include a full twelve months of Newcrest results
on a pro forma basis for the rolling twelve months ended March 31,
2024. The pro forma adjusted EBITDA was derived from Newcrest
unaudited financial information for the 10 months ended October 31,
2023 and November 1, 2023 through November 6, 2023, the acquisition
date. Newcrest’s pre-acquisition Adjusted EBITDA has been added to
our adjusted EBITDA for the purposes of Net Debt to Pro Forma
Adjusted EBITDA ratio only.

During the first quarter of 2024, certain
non-core assets were determined to meet the criteria for assets
held for sale. As a result, $342 of Cash and cash equivalents were
reclassified to Current assets held for sale.
Net average realized price per ounce/ pound
Average realized price per ounce/ pound are non-GAAP financial
measures. The measures are calculated by dividing the net
consolidated gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc sales by the
consolidated gold ounces, copper pounds, silver ounces, lead pounds
and zinc pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated
on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated
basis. Average realized price per ounce/ pound statistics are
intended to provide additional information only, 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 measure:

Gold by-product metrics
Copper, silver, lead, zinc and molybdenum are by-products often
obtained during the process of extracting and processing the
primary ore-body. In our GAAP Consolidated Financial Statements,
the value of these by-products is recorded as a credit to our CAS
and the value of the primary ore is recorded as Sales. In certain
instances, copper, silver, lead and zinc are co-products, or a
significant resource in the primary ore-body, and the revenue is
recorded as Sales in our GAAP Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Gold by-product metrics are non-GAAP financial measures that
serve as a basis for comparing the Company’s performance with
certain competitors. As Newmont’s operations are primarily focused
on gold production, “Gold by-product metrics” were developed to
allow investors to view Sales, CAS per ounce and AISC per ounce
calculations that classify all copper, silver, lead, zinc and
molybdenum production as a by-product, even when copper, silver,
lead or zinc is a significant resource in the primary ore-body.
These metrics are calculated by subtracting copper, silver, lead
and zinc sales recognized from Sales and including these amounts as
offsets to CAS.
Gold by-product metrics are calculated on a consistent basis for
the periods presented on a consolidated basis. These metrics are
intended to provide supplemental information only, 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. 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 IFRS.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the
most directly comparable GAAP measures:

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward
Looking Statements, Including Outlook Assumptions:
This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor
created by such sections and other applicable laws. Where a
forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or
belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief
is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis.
However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
other factors, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by
the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often
address our expected future business and financial performance and
financial condition; and often contain words such as “anticipate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “estimate,” “expect,” “believe,”
"pending" or “potential.” Forward-looking statements in this news
release may include, without limitation, (i) estimates of future
production and sales, including production outlook, average future
production and upside potential, including our Full Potential
initiatives and synergies; (ii) estimates of future costs
applicable to sales and all-in sustaining costs; (iii) estimates of
future capital expenditures, including development and sustaining
capital; (iv) expectations regarding the Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo
North and Cadia Block Caves projects, including, without
limitation, expectations for production, milling, costs applicable
to sales and all-in sustaining costs, capital costs, mine life
extension, construction completion commercial production, and other
timelines; (v) any share repurchases; (vi) estimates of future cost
reductions, synergies, including pre-tax synergies, savings and
efficiencies, Full Potential and productivity improvements, and
future cash flow enhancements through portfolio optimization, (vii)
expectations regarding future exploration and the development,
growth and potential of Newmont Corporation's ("Newmont"), project
pipeline and investments; (viii) expectations regarding future
investments or divestitures, including of non-core assets; (ix)
expectations regarding free cash flow and returns to stockholders,
including with respect to future dividends and future share
repurchases, the dividend framework and expected payout levels; (x)
expectations regarding future mineralization, including, without
limitation, expectations regarding reserves and recoveries; (xi)
expectations regarding organic growth in our operations; and (xii)
other outlook. Estimates or expectations of future events or
results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be
incorrect. Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i)
there being no significant change to current geotechnical,
metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii)
permitting, development, operations and expansion of operations and
projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans,
including, without limitation, receipt of export approvals; (iii)
political developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company
operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv)
certain exchange rate assumptions for the Australian dollar to U.S.
dollar and Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar, as well as other
exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels;
(v) certain price assumptions for gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead
and oil; (vi) prices for key supplies; (vii) the accuracy of
current mineral reserve, mineral resource and mineralized material
estimates; and (viii) other planning assumptions. Uncertainties
include those relating to general macroeconomic uncertainty and
changing market conditions, changing restrictions on the mining
industry in the jurisdictions in which we operate, impacts to
supply chain, including price, availability of goods, ability to
receive supplies and fuel, and impacts of changes in interest
rates. Such uncertainties could result in operating sites being
placed into care and maintenance and impact estimates, costs and
timing of projects. Uncertainties in geopolitical conditions could
impact certain planning assumptions, including, but not limited to
commodity and currency prices, costs and supply chain
availabilities.
Future dividends beyond the dividend payable on June 27, 2024 to
holders of record at the close of business on June 4, 2024 have not
yet been approved or declared by the Board of Directors, and an
annualized dividend payout or dividend yield has not been declared
by the Board. Management’s expectations with respect to future
dividends are “forward-looking statements” and the Company’s
dividend policy is non-binding. The declaration and payment of
future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors
and will be determined based on Newmont’s financial results,
balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future
prospects, gold and commodity prices, and other factors deemed
relevant by the Board.
For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors
that might impact future looking statements, see the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on February 29, 2024, under the heading “Risk Factors", and other
factors identified in the Company's reports filed with the SEC,
available on the SEC website or at www.newmont.com. The Company
does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to
any “forward-looking statement,” including, without limitation,
outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this
news release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events,
except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously
issued “forward-looking statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of
that statement. Continued reliance on “forward-looking statements”
is at investors’ own risk. Investors are also encouraged to review
our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, expected to be
filed on, or about April 29, 2024.
Notice Regarding Reserve and
Resource:
Unless otherwise stated herein, the reserves stated in this
release represent estimates at December 31, 2023, which could be
economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the
reserve determination. Estimates of proven and probable reserves
are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, or
will be, to a large extent, based on metal prices and
interpretations of geologic data obtained from drill holes and
other exploration techniques, which data may not necessarily be
indicative of future results. Additionally, resource does not
indicate proven and probable reserves as defined by the SEC or the
Company’s standards. Estimates of measured, indicated and inferred
resource are subject to further exploration and development, and
are, therefore, subject to considerable uncertainty. Inferred
resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to
their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. The
Company cannot be certain that any part or parts of the resource
will ever be converted into reserves. For additional information on
our reserves and resources, please see Item 2 of the Company’s Form
10-K, filed on February 29, 2024 with the SEC.
