Percentage of Gold Reserves by Jurisdiction (North America includes Nevada)

“Newmont has the largest gold reserve base in the industry underpinned by our world-class ore bodies in top tier jurisdictions. In 2019, we added almost 50 million ounces of gold reserves through the acquisition of Goldcorp, formation of the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture and the continuation of our leading exploration program,” said Tom Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our reserve and resource base will support stable production of more than 6 million ounces per annum for decades to come.”

Key highlights and differentiators:

• Industry’s largest gold Mineral Reserves of 100.2 million ounces
• Gold reserves located in top-tier jurisdictions with 88 percent in Americas and Australia
• Gold reserve life at operating sites of >10 years underpinned by a strong base at Boddington, Tanami, Ahafo, Peñasquito, and Nevada Gold Mines, and further enhanced from our eight other operating mines and equity ownership in Pueblo Viejo
• Significant gold reserves per share with 124 ounces per 1,000 shares
• Tanami added 1.5 million ounces of gold reserves, 1.1 million ounces of Measured and Indicated gold resources and 1.6 million ounces of inferred resource
• Stable production profile underpinned by long life operating assets such as Boddington with 14 years; Tanami and Peñasquito with 12 years and Ahafo with 11 years
• Significant exposure to copper, silver, zinc, and lead with 63 million gold equivalent ounces (GEO)¹
• Measured & Indicated gold Mineral Resources of 76.7 million ounces; Inferred of 31.3 million ounces

Reported figures include Red Lake and the Company’s 50 percent interest in Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM). Newmont successfully completed the sale of KCGM in January 2020 and expects to close the divestment of Red Lake in the first quarter of 2020. Combined, these sites represented approximately 4.5 million ounces of gold reserves and 2.6 million ounces of Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources (resources), bringing Newmont’s adjusted 2019 gold Mineral Reserves to 95.7 and Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources² to 74.1 million ounces.

Newmont’s reserve base is a key differentiator with 88 percent of gold reserves located in top-tier jurisdictions in the Americas and Australia, an operating reserve life of more than 10 years and average reserve grade of 1.05 grams per tonne. In addition, Newmont significantly increased its exposure to other metals, with an estimated 63 million gold equivalent ounces¹ from copper, silver, zinc, lead and molybdenum.

In 2019, Newmont reported 100.2 million ounces of gold Mineral Reserves and 95.7 million ounces after adjusting for the KCGM and Red Lake divestments.

The Company added 42.2 million net ounces of gold reserves through its acquisition of Goldcorp and formation of the Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) joint venture, after adjusting for revisions at select Goldcorp operating sites, which were assessed using Newmont’s rigorous technical standards.

As previously disclosed, the Coffee project and Dome pit as part of the Century project were reclassified from Mineral Reserves to Mineral Resources, due to Feasibility study requirements. The project revisions were 1.7 million ounces and 4.4 million ounces, respectively.

Additions before revisions of 7.4 million ounces through exploration exceeded the Company’s target demonstrating drilling success and the prospectivity across the portfolio. Notable reserve additions for the year included: 2.5 million equity ounces from NGM, 1.5 million ounces at Tanami, 0.7 million equity ounces at NuevaUnión, 0.5 million ounces at Merian and 0.4 million ounces at Ahafo underground. Additions nearly offset depletion of 7.7 million contained ounces, which corresponds to Newmont’s 2019 attributable production outlook of 6.3 million ounces.

Newmont’s gold reserve grade was 1.05 grams per tonne compared to 1.19 grams per tonne in the prior year, largely due to the addition of polymetallic mines and projects including Peñasquito, NuevaUnión and Norte Abierto, which was partially offset by higher-grade reserves from the Company’s 38.5 percent equity ownership in NGM.

Newmont reported attributable Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources of 76.7 million ounces and 31.3 million ounces of attributable Inferred gold Mineral Resources, an increase of 95 percent and 101 percent from the prior year, respectively, at a constant gold price. Adjusted for the divestitures of KCGM and Red Lake.

Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources are 74.1 million ounces and Inferred gold Mineral Resources are 29.4 million ounces.

The acquisition of Goldcorp and formation of the NGM joint venture added 26.5 million net ounces of Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources and 13.7 million net ounces of Inferred gold Mineral Resources.

Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources added through exploration and studies were 7.8 million ounces and included notable additions before revisions of 1.1 million ounces at Tanami, 0.9 million equity ounces at both NGM and Pueblo Viejo, 0.8 million ounces at each of Ahafo underground, NuevaUnión and Merian (equity ounces).

Additions before revisions of 5.2 million ounces of Inferred gold Mineral Resources notably included 1.6 million ounces at Tanami, 0.8 million equity ounces at NGM, and 0.7 million ounces at Peñasquito.

Newmont’s Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resource grade increased to 0.72 grams per tonne compared to 0.69 grams per tonne in the prior year from higher grade resources from NGM and the underground mines from the Goldcorp acquisition. Inferred gold Mineral Resource grade decreased to 0.66 grams per tonne from 1.01 grams per tonne, largely due to lower grade ounces from acquired polymetallic mines and projects.

Other Metals

Newmont’s base metal reserves increased significantly with the addition of the Goldcorp assets. Copper reserves increased to 6.8 million tonnes from 1.3 million tonnes in 2018, primarily due to the additions at the NuevaUnión and Norte Abierto projects. Copper resources increased significantly, increasing to 6.8 million tonnes of Measured & Indicated and 3.5 million tonnes of Inferred from 4.1 million tonnes of Measured & Indicated and 0.5 million tonnes of Inferred.

Silver reserves also increased significantly to 652 million ounces from 86 million ounces, primarily due to additions at Peñasquito, but also supported by NuevaUnión, Norte Abierto, Cerro Negro and Pueblo Viejo. Silver resources increased to 481 million ounces of Measured & Indicated and 217 million ounces of Inferred from 128 million ounces of Measured & Indicated and 21 million ounces of Inferred.

The Company also had first time declarations totaling 3.4 million tonnes of zinc reserves and 1.5 million tonnes of lead reserves at Peñasquito, and 0.1 million tonnes of molybdenum at NuevaUnión. First time declarations of zinc and lead resources were 1.9 million tonnes of Measured & Indicated and 1.0 million tonnes of Inferred, and 0.8 million tonnes of Measured & Indicated and 0.5 million tonnes of Inferred, respectively.

Exploration Outlook

Newmont’s total attributable exploration expenditure³ is expected to be approximately $230 million in 2020, a decrease of 13 percent from the prior year as the Company captures $25 million of exploration synergies from the Goldcorp acquisition and approximately $10 million from the divestiture of KCGM and Red Lake. Around 80 percent of total exploration investment will be dedicated to near-mine expansion programs and the remaining 20 percent will be allocated to the advancement of greenfield projects and innovation programs. Geographically, the Company expects to invest approximately 30 percent in North America, 25 percent in South America, 20 percent in Australia and the remainder in Africa and other locations.

Gold Reserve Sensitivity

A $100 increase in gold price would result in an approximate six percent increase in gold reserves while a $100 decrease in gold price would result in an approximate six percent decrease in gold reserves. These sensitivities assume an oil price of $60 per barrel (WTI), Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.75 and Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.77.

Reserve and Resource Tables

Proven and Probable reserves are based on extensive drilling, sampling, mine modeling and metallurgical testing from which we determine economic feasibility. Newmont’s metal price assumptions follow SEC guidance not to exceed a three year trailing average. The price sensitivity of reserves depends upon several factors including grade, metallurgical recovery, operating cost, waste-to-ore ratio and ore type. Metallurgical recovery rates vary depending on the metallurgical properties of each deposit and the production process used. The reserve tables included in this release list the average metallurgical recovery rate for each deposit, which takes into account the assumed processing methods. The cut-off grade, or lowest grade of material considered economic to process, varies with material type, price, metallurgical recoveries, operating costs and co- or by-product credits. The Proven and Probable reserve figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation. No assurance can be given that the indicated levels of recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and molybdenum will be realized. Ounces of gold and silver or tonnes of copper, zinc, lead, or molybdenum included in the Proven and Probable reserves are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production. Market fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, or molybdenum, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could render certain Proven and Probable reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to exploit and might result in a reduction of reserves.

The Measured, Indicated, and Inferred resource figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation and are exclusive of reserves. A “Mineral Resource” is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade, or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories. Ounces of gold and silver or tonnes of copper, zinc, lead, and molybdenum included in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Market fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead and molybdenum, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could change future estimates of resources. Please refer to the reserves and resources cautionary statement at the end of the release.

We publish reserves and resources annually, and will recalculate reserves and resources at year-end 2020, taking into account metal prices, changes, if any, in future production and capital costs, mine designs, model changes, divestments and depletion as well as any acquisitions and additions during 2020.

Cautionary Statement:

The “reserves” disclosed in this release have been prepared in compliance with Industry Guide 7 published by the SEC. As used in this news release, the term “reserve” means that part of a mineral deposit that can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The term “economically,” as used in this definition, means that profitable extraction or production has been established or analytically demonstrated in a feasibility study to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment and market assumptions. The term “legally,” as used in this definition, does not imply that all permits needed for mining and processing have been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely resolved. However, for a reserve to exist, Newmont must have a justifiable expectation, based on applicable laws and regulations, that issuance of permits or resolution of legal issues necessary for mining and processing at a particular deposit will be accomplished in the ordinary course and in a timeframe consistent with Newmont’s current mine plans. Reserves in this news release are aggregated from the proven and probable classes.

The term “Proven Reserves” used in the tables of this news release means reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; (b) grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling; and (c) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurements are spaced so closely and the geologic character is sufficiently defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well established. The term “Probable Reserves” means reserves for which quantity and grade are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for sampling are farther apart or are otherwise less closely spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. Newmont classifies all reserves as Probable on its development projects until a year of production has confirmed all assumptions made in the reserve estimates. Proven and Probable reserves include gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead or molybdenum attributable to Newmont’s ownership or economic interest. Proven and probable reserves were calculated using cut-off grades. The term “cut-off grade” means the lowest grade of mineralized material considered economic to process. Cut-off grades vary between deposits depending upon prevailing economic conditions, mineability of the deposit, by-products, amenability of the ore to gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead, molybdenum extraction and type of milling or leaching facilities available.

Notice for U.S. Investors:

The terms “resources” and “Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources” are used in this news release. Investors are advised that the SEC does not recognize these terms and “resources” have not been prepared in accordance with Industry Guide 7. Newmont has determined that such “resources” would be substantively the same as those prepared using the Guidelines established by the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) and defined as “Mineral Resource”. Estimates of resources are subject to further exploration and development, are subject to additional risks, and no assurance can be given that they will eventually convert to future reserves. Inferred Resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Also, disclosure of contained ounces is permitted under the SME Guideline and other regulatory guidelines, such as Canada’s NI 43-101 and Australia’s JORC. However, the SEC generally requires mineral resource information in SEC-filed documents to be reported only as in-place tonnage and grade. Investors are reminded that even if significant mineralization is discovered and converted to reserves, during the time necessary to ultimately move such mineralization to production the economic feasibility of production may change. See the Company’s Annual Report for the “Proven and Probable Reserve” and “Mineralized Material” tables prepared in compliance with the SEC’s Industry Guide 7, available at www.newmont.com and on www.sec.gov. Investors are reminded that the tables presented in the Annual Report are estimates as of December 31, 2019 and were presented on an attributable basis reflecting the Company’s ownership interest at such time.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements:

This release may contain “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. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, estimates and expectations of future production, mine plans, operational and project development, exploration outlook, and operational and financial performance. Where the Company 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, assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the “forward-looking statements”. For a more detailed discussion of risks and other factors that might impact future looking statements, see the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 under the heading “Risk Factors”, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available on the SEC website or www.newmontgoldcorp.com, as well as the Company’s other SEC filings. Investors are also encouraged to refer to the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, which is expected to be filed on or about February 20, 2020, with the SEC under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information, 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.
