PRUDENT DECISIONS IN THE SECOND QUARTER TO GENERATE LONG-TERM VALUE
In the second quarter, Newmont made the following key decisions to protect its workforce, generate long-term value and drive a strong performance in the second half of the year:
Peñasquito - In June, Newmont suspended operations at the site to focus on finding an appropriate and sustainable resolution to the dispute with the leadership of the National Union of Mine and Metal Workers of the Mexican Republic (“the Union”). Éléonore - In June, Newmont evacuated and temporarily shut down the site to protect its workforce from the unprecedented wildfires in Canada. Cerro Negro - In May, Newmont paused mining to complete important inspections for the safety and wellbeing of its workforce. Akyem - In the second quarter, Newmont processed low-grade stockpiles originally planned for the fourth quarter and optimized the mine plan to safely extract the maximum amount of ore from the pit.Direct operating costs remained largely consistent with the first quarter as inflation pressures continued to stabilize, with improvements to pricing on energy, fuel and commodities, as well lower direct costs as a result of the suspension of operations at Peñasquito. In addition, AISC was higher due to higher sustaining capital during the second quarter compared to the first quarter, driven by the timing of spend at Boddington, Musselwhite and Ahafo. Peñasquito incurred $23 million of operating costs and $15 million of depreciation and amortization due to the suspension of operations. In addition, Éléonore incurred $6 million of operating costs and $2 million of depreciation and amortization while the site was evacuated due to the wildfires in Canada. These costs have not been adjusted from Newmont's Non-GAAP financial metrics for the second quarter.
Cash flow from continuing operations was $656 million, which was favorable compared to the first quarter, primarily driven by lower impacts from working capital changes as higher cash tax payments of $246 million were largely offset by favorable change in accounts receivable. In addition, Newmont reinvested $616 million in capital spend, including $236 million in development capital spend to continue to progress near-term projects and $380 million in sustaining capital to progress site improvement projects, such as upgrading camp conditions at Musselwhite and the addition of five new autonomous haulage trucks at Boddington to advance stripping in the North and South Pits.
WELL-POSITIONED TO DELIVER A STRONG PERFORMANCE IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2023
Production remains weighted to the second half of the year as previously guided, with improving costs expected through the remainder of the year, driven by the following sites:
Ahafo is expected to reach higher grade and tonnes mined from Subika Underground with access to the third mining level and additional draw points, in addition to higher ore tonnes mined and improved grade at the Subika Open Pit. The site is on track to commission the replacement conveyor in the third quarter. Cerro Negro is expected to improve productivity and reach higher grade stopes from the first wave of the Cerro Negro District Expansions. In the second quarter, first ore was mined from San Marcos, the first of six new deposits. Tanami is expected to deliver higher tonnes mined and processed and reach the year’s highest grades during the fourth quarter. Akyem is expected to deliver higher grade tonnes in the second half of the year following the decision to optimize the mine plan for safety and productivity in the second quarter. Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo are both expected to be weighted strongly toward the second half of the year.SECOND QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL AND PRODUCTION SUMMARY
Attributable gold production1 decreased 17 percent to 1,240 thousand ounces from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower production at Peñasquito, Akyem, Merian, Cerro Negro and Boddington. In addition, lower than planned production was delivered from the non-managed joint venture at Pueblo Viejo. Attributable gold sales were largely in line with gold production for the quarter.
Gold CAS totaled $1.3 billion for the quarter. Gold CAS per ounce2 increased 13 percent to $1,054 per ounce from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower gold sales volumes. This unfavorable impact was partially offset by the charges recognized in the second quarter of 2022 related to 2021 site performance for the Peñasquito Profit-Sharing Agreement, as well as lower energy, materials and contracted services costs at Peñasquito while operations were suspended in the second quarter of 2023.
Gold AISC per ounce2 increased 23 percent to $1,472 per ounce from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher CAS per gold ounce and higher sustaining capital spend.
Attributable gold equivalent ounce (GEO) production from other metals decreased 22 percent to 256 thousand ounces primarily due to the suspension of operations at Peñasquito. Attributable GEO sales were largely in line with production for the quarter.
CAS from other metals totaled $266 million for the quarter. CAS per GEO2 increased 8 percent to $1,062 per ounce from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower other metal sales at Peñasquito as a result of suspension of operations during the second quarter. This unfavorable impact was partially offset by lower energy, materials and contracted services costs at Peñasquito while operations were suspended.
AISC per GEO2 increased 16 percent to $1,492 per ounce primarily due to higher CAS per GEO and higher sustaining capital spend.
Average realized gold price was $1,965, an increase of $129 per ounce over the prior year quarter. Average realized gold price includes $1,974 per ounce of gross price received, an unfavorable impact of $1 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and reductions of $8 per ounce for treatment and refining charges.
Revenue decreased 12 percent from the prior year quarter to $2.7 billion primarily due to lower gold and silver sales volumes, partially offset by higher average realized prices for all metals except zinc.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders was $153 million or $0.19 per diluted share, a decrease of $226 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower sales volumes and higher income tax expense. These decreases were partially offset by lower CAS and a decrease in unrealized losses on marketable and other equity securities.
Adjusted net income3 was $266 million or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $362 million or $0.46 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Primary adjustments to second quarter net income include changes in the fair value of investments of $42 million, Newcrest transaction costs of $21 million and restructuring and severance costs of $10 million, as well as valuation allowance and other tax adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA3 decreased 21 percent to $0.9 billion for the quarter, compared to $1.1 billion for the prior year quarter.
Capital expenditures4 increased 19 percent from the prior year quarter to $616 million primarily due to higher sustaining capital spend. Development capital expenditures in 2023 primarily relate to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Yanacocha Sulfides, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1.
Consolidated operating cash flow from continuing operations decreased 36 percent from the prior year quarter to $656 million primarily due to a decrease in revenue due to lower sales volumes, a decrease in the fair value of investments and a build-up of inventory compared to the same period in 2022, primarily at Peñasquito.
Free Cash Flow5 decreased to $40 million from $514 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to lower operating cash flow and higher capital expenditures.
Balance sheet and liquidity remained strong in the second quarter, ending the quarter with $2.8 billion of consolidated cash and $374 million of time deposits with a maturity of more than three months but less than one year, with approximately $6.2 billion of total liquidity; reported net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 0.7x6.
Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) attributable gold production was 287 thousand ounces, with CAS of $1,055 per ounce2 and AISC of $1,388 per ounce2 for the second quarter. NGM EBITDA6 was $245 million.
Pueblo Viejo (PV) attributable gold production was 51 thousand ounces for the quarter. Cash distributions received for the Company's equity method investment in Pueblo Viejo totaled $40 million in the second quarter. Capital contributions of $22 million were made during the quarter related to the expansion project at Pueblo Viejo.
_________________________
1 Attributable gold production includes 51 thousand ounces for the second quarter of 2023, 60 thousand ounces for the first quarter of 2023 and 70 thousand ounces for the second quarter of 2022 from the Company’s equity method investment in Pueblo Viejo (40%).

Progressing Profitable Near-Term Projects from Unmatched Organic Pipeline
Newmont’s project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine lives1. Newmont's 2023 and longer-term outlook includes current development capital costs and production related to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1. Longer-term development capital outlook has been updated to reflect the deferral of the investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project, which has reduced expected capital spend by $300 million in 2024. Additional development capital spend and all metal production for Yanacocha Sulfides has been excluded from longer-term outlook until an investment decision has been reached.
Additional projects not listed below represent incremental improvements to the Company's outlook.
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 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years and reduce operating costs by approximately 10 percent, bringing average all-in sustaining costs to $900 to $1,000 per ounce for Tanami (2026-2030). Commercial production for the project is expected in the second half of 2025. Total capital costs are estimated to be between $1.2 and $1.3 billion. Development costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $617 million, of which $118 million related to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Ahafo North (Africa) 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 275,000 and 325,000 ounces per year with all-in sustaining costs of $800 to $900 per ounce for the first five full years of production. Ahafo North is the best unmined gold deposit in West Africa with approximately 3.8 million ounces of Reserves and 1.4 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 $283 million, of which $71 million related to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Pamour (North America) extends the life of Porcupine and maintains production beyond 2024. The project will optimize mill capacity, adding volume and supporting high grade ore from Borden and Hoyle Pond, while supporting further exploration in a highly prospective and proven mining district. An investment decision is expected in late 2023 as opportunities have been identified to extend production from current operations, allowing for a deferral of project spending. Formal updates to capital estimates and estimated project completion will be provided closer to the investment decision. Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 (South America) includes the simultaneous development of the Marianas and Eastern districts to extend the mine life of Cerro Negro beyond 2030. The project is expected to improve production to above 350,000 ounces beginning in 2024 and provides a platform for further exploration and future growth through additional expansions. Development capital costs for the project are estimated to be between $350 and $450 million. Yanacocha Sulfides (South America) has been deferred for at least two years from the previously planned investment decision date in 2024, representing the first step to Newmont delivering on its portfolio optimization strategy. Development capital spend guidance for 2024 has been updated to reflect the reduced spend of $300 million. Yanacocha Sulfides will develop the first phase of sulfide deposits and an integrated processing circuit, including an autoclave to produce 45% gold, 45% copper and 10% silver. The first phase focuses on developing the Yanacocha Verde and Chaquicocha deposits to extend Yanacocha’s operations beyond 2040 with second and third phases having the potential to extend life for multiple decades._________________________
1 Project estimates remain subject to change based upon uncertainties, including future market conditions, macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, changes in interest rates, inflation, commodities and raw materials prices, supply chain disruptions, labor markets, engineering and mine plan assumptions, future funding decisions, consideration of strategic capital allocation and other factors, which may impact estimated capital expenditures, AISC and timing of projects. See end of this release for cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements.
2 Total resources presented for Ahafo North includes Measured and Indicated resources of 910 thousand gold ounces and Inferred resources of 490 thousand gold ounces. See cautionary statement at the end of this release.
2023 Outlook Remains Second-Half Weighted
Newmont’s outlook reflects increasing gold production and ongoing investment into its operating assets and most promising growth prospects. Newmont's reserves and mine planning gold price assumption has been set at $1,400 per ounce. 2023 outlook assumes a $1,700 per ounce revenue gold price for CAS and AISC, including royalties and production taxes. For 2023, Newmont has assumed normalizing levels of inflation, improving throughout the year, with a year-over-year average escalation rate of approximately 3 percent.
Outlook includes development capital, costs and production related to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1. Longer-term development capital outlook has been updated to reflect the deferral of the investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project, which has reduced expected capital spend by $300 million in 2024. Additional development capital spend and all metal production for Yanacocha Sulfides has been excluded from longer-term outlook until an investment decision has been reached.
Please see the cautionary statement and footnotes for additional information. For a more detailed discussion, see the Company’s 2023 and Longer-Term Outlook released on February 23, 2023, available on www.newmont.com.

a 2023 outlook projections are considered forward-looking statements and represent management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of February 23, 2023. Outlook is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. For example, 2023 Outlook assumes $1,700/oz Au, $3.50/lb Cu, $20.00/oz Ag, $1.35/lb Zn, $0.90/lb Pb, $0.70 USD/AUD exchange rate, $0.77 USD/CAD exchange rate and $90/barrel WTI. Production, CAS, AISC and capital estimates exclude projects that have not yet been approved, except for Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 which are included in Outlook. Additional development capital spend beyond 2023 and all metal production and costs for Yanacocha Sulfides have been excluded from longer-term outlook until an investment decision has been reached. 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 statement 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 2023 CAS outlook.
c On June 7, 2023, the Company suspended operations following a strike action by the National Union of Mine and Metal Workers of the Mexican Republic ("the Union"). As a result, the Company is withdrawing its full-year 2023 guidance for Peñasquito. The Company cannot estimate when the strike will be resolved and will reassess Peñasquito's full-year 2023 guidance once a resolution has been reached. As a result, investors are cautioned not to rely upon Peñasquito guidance estimates.
d Consolidated production for Merian is presented on a total production basis for the mine site; attributable production represents a 75% interest for Merian.
e 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.
f Attributable production includes Newmont’s 40% interest in Pueblo Viejo, which is accounted for as an equity method investment.

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 in) financing activities.

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.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt and Lease and other financing obligations, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to Net Debt.

Estimates for each 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 2023 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 and time deposits, 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:

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 and zinc are by-products often obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. In our GAAP Condensed 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 Condensed 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 and zinc 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,” 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; (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, Yanacocha Sulfides, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 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) future expectations regarding sites with suspended operations, including Peñasquito; (vi) expectations regarding future investments or divestitures; (vii) expectations regarding free cash flow and returns to stockholders, including with respect to future dividends, the dividend framework and expected payout levels; (viii) expectations regarding future mineralization, including, without limitation, expectations regarding reserves and recoveries; (ix) other outlook; and (x) expectations regarding pending or proposed transactions. 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; (iii) political developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) certain exchange rate assumptions; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead and oil; (vi) prices for key supplies; (vii) the accuracy of current mineral reserve and mineralized material estimates; and (viii) other planning assumptions. Uncertainties 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. Investors are reminded that the dividend framework is non-binding and the 2023 dividend payout range does not represent a legal commitment. Future dividends beyond the dividend payable on September 21, 2023 to holders of record at the close of business on September 7, 2023 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 framework 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. Statements relating to the pending transaction to acquire the share capital of Newcrest Mining Limited (“Newcrest”), timing and closing of the pending transaction, including receipt of required approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, expectations from the integration of Newcrest, and expectations regarding the potential value proposition, the potential for synergies from the pending transaction, or similar statements, also constitute “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.. Risks include fluctuations in company stock price and results of operations; the prompt and effective integration of Newmont’s and Newcrest’s businesses and the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the pending transaction; the risk associated with Newmont’s and Newcrest’s ability to obtain the approval of the pending transaction by their shareholders required to consummate the pending transaction and the timing of the closing of the pending transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the pending transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all and the failure of the pending transaction to close for any other reason; the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the pending transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the scheme implementation deed dated May 15, 2023 (the “Scheme Implementation Deed”); unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the pending transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; risks relating to the value of the Scheme Consideration to be issued in connection with the pending transaction; the anticipated size of the markets and continued demand for Newmont’s and Newcrest’s resources and the impact of competitive responses to the announcement of the transaction; and the diversion of management time on pending transaction-related issues. For a discussion of 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, 2022 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), under the heading “Risk Factors", and other factors identified in the Company's reports filed with the SEC, available on the SEC website or 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.
Notice Regarding Reserve and Resource Estimates:
Unless otherwise stated herein, the reserves stated in this release represent estimates at December 31, 2022, 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 23, 2023 with the SEC.
