NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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

NOTE 1    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all 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, 2012 filed February 22, 2013 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency and “NZ$” to New Zealand currency.

On March 12, 2013, Newmont completed the sale of the Hope Bay Project to TMAC Resources Inc. (“TMAC”). At June 30, 2013, Newmont held a 49.9% voting interest in TMAC and an economic interest of 70.4%. The Company has made available a $15 credit facility due June 2014. Newmont has identified TMAC as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)—Consolidation guidance. Based upon the ASC guidance for VIEs, and the ownership structure, Newmont has determined that it has a controlling financial interest in TMAC and is therefore the primary beneficiary. As such, Newmont consolidated TMAC in its consolidated financial statements. TMAC has indicated that they anticipate raising funds at an undetermined date through an initial public offering (“IPO”). Should such an IPO occur, which there can be no assurance of such offering occurring, it is expected that Newmont’s ownership will be reduced and Newmont would reevaluate whether or not it is still required to consolidate under the applicable ASC guidance.

NOTE 2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Reporting of Amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to items reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income(Loss) . The new standard requires either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements: (i) the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and (ii) the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In November 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new standard requires disclosures to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under IFRS. In January 2013, an update was issued to further clarify that the disclosure requirements are limited to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (i) offset in the financial statements or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2013, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Foreign Currency Matters

In March 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to Foreign Currency Matters to clarify the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. The update is effective prospectively for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Write-downs totaled $2,261 and $2,262 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The 2013 write-down was primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s long-term gold and copper price assumptions to $1,400 per ounce and $3.00 per pound, respectively, combined with rising operating costs. These factors represented significant changes in the business, requiring the Company to evaluate for impairment. For purposes of this evaluation, estimates of future cash flows of the individual reporting units were used to determine fair value. The estimated cash flows were derived from life-of-mine plans, developed using long-term pricing reflective of the current price environment and management’s projections for operating costs. Refer to Note 14 for additional information.

Due to the above conditions, Goodwill was included in the Company’s impairment analysis. After-tax discounted future cash flows of reporting units with Goodwill were analyzed. Goodwill at Other Australia / New Zealand had a carrying value of $188 at December 31, 2012. As a result of this evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment of $56, resulting in a carrying value of $132 at June 30, 2013.

NOTE 8    INCOME AND MINING TAXES

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an estimated income and mining tax benefit of $325, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the second quarter of 2012 was $175 for an effective tax rate of 32%. The lower effective tax rate on the loss in the second quarter of 2013 is a result of the significant decrease in pretax income resulting in a dilution to the impact of percentage depletion and an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

During the first half of 2013, the estimated income and mining tax benefit was $144, resulting in an effective tax rate of 7%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first half of 2012 was $518 for an effective tax rate of 33%. The lower effective tax rate on the loss in the first six months of 2013 is primarily due to the result of the significant decrease in pretax income resulting in a dilution to the impact of percentage depletion and an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, each quarter the Company considers estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction to determine if the deferred tax assets are realizable. If it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will place or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if determined that it will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced.

On the basis of available information at June 30, 2013, including the decrease in the Company’s long-term commodity price assumptions, rising operating cost, and decrease in equity value, the Company concluded that it would not be able to realize the benefit from some of its deferred tax assets; as a result, the Company recorded a significant increase in its valuation allowance. This increase consists of $535 related to U.S. foreign and alternative minimum tax credits and $150 related to stockpile impairments.

The Company’s income and mining tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:

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

 

The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and pay the income taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $391 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $44 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $5 to $10 in the next 12 months.

NOTE 9    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations include Holloway Mining Company, which owned the Holt-McDermott property (“Holt property”) that was sold to St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) in 2006. In 2009, the Superior Court issued a decision finding Newmont Canada Corporation (“Newmont Canada”) liable for a sliding scale royalty on production from the Holt property, which was upheld in 2011 by the Ontario Court of Appeal. During the first half of 2013, the Company recorded a benefit from discontinued operations of $74, net of tax expense of $34, related to a decline in the gold spot price and an increase in discount rates. During the first half of 2012, the Company recorded a $71 charge, net of tax benefits of $4, to reflect an increase in future expected production at the Holt property due to new reserve and resource estimates published by St. Andrew.

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $11 and $8 in the first half of 2013 and 2012 relates to payments on the Holt property royalty.

Options to purchase 4 and 2 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $48 and $58 were outstanding at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their exercise prices exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock for the respective periods presented.

Other outstanding options to purchase 1 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares in the second quarter and first half of 2013 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of its 2014 and 2017 Convertible Senior Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion premium (average share price in excess of the conversion price), if any, in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with ASC guidance. The average price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the conversion prices for all periods presented, resulting in additional shares included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares.

In February 2012, the holders of the Company’s 2012 Convertible Senior Notes exercised their election to convert the notes. The Company elected to pay the $172 conversion premium with cash, and as a result no common shares were issued.

NOTE 14    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, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; 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 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 derivatives instruments above are included in the Derivatives Instruments Note (see Note 15). All other Fair Value disclosures in the above table are presented on a gross basis.

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

The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The securities are segregated based on industry. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

The Company’s marketable corporate debt securities are mainly comingled fund investments that are classified within Level 2 with the unit of account considered to be at the fund level. Therefore, the investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s marketable debt securities also include investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The Company reviews the fair value for auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper on a quarterly basis. The auction rate securities are traded in markets that are not active, trade infrequently and have little price transparency. Therefore, the investments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See table below which sets forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the significant unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the fair value.

The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, subject to final pricing, is valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves and, as such, is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

The estimated value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales. This contingent royalty is capped at $100, and at June 30, 2012, the Company increased the accrual to the maximum of $100. The Boddington contingent royalty is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See table below which sets forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the significant unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the fair value.

The estimated fair value of the Holt sliding scale royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The sliding scale royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See table below which sets forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the significant unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the fair value.

NOTE 15    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company continues to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market. All of the derivative instruments described below were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

The foreign currency, diesel and forward starting swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) and are reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings .

Foreign Currency Contracts

Newmont utilizes foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. Newmont hedges a portion of the Company’s A$ and NZ$ denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to five years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ and $/NZ$ rates, respectively.

Newmont had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding at June 30, 2013:

Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts

Newmont hedges a portion of its operating cost exposure related to diesel consumed at its Nevada operations to reduce the variability in realized diesel prices. The hedging instruments consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates up to three years.

Forward Starting Swap Contracts

During 2011, Newmont entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2,000. These contracts hedged movements in treasury rates related to a debt issuance that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. On March 8, 2012, Newmont closed its sale of $2,500 senior notes consisting of 3.5% senior notes due 2022 in the principal amount of $1,500 (10-year notes), and 4.875% senior notes due 2042 in the principal amount of $1,000 (30-year notes). As a result, the forward-starting interest rate swaps were settled for $362, of which $349 represented the effective portion of the hedging instrument included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) . The net proceeds from the debt issuance were adjusted by the settlement amount of the swap contracts and included as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

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

London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $3.25 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.22 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.42 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.38 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $15 ($0.27 per pound) and loss of $24 ($0.25 per pound), respectively. At June 30, 2013, Newmont had copper sales of 54 million pounds priced at an average of $3.07 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

While the fair values of the Company’s investments in asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. The Company intends to hold its investment in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper until maturity or such time that the market recovers and therefore considers these losses temporary.

NOTE 25    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented to satisfy disclosure requirements of Rule 3-10(e) of Regulation S-X resulting from the inclusion of Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont, as a co-registrant with Newmont on debt securities issued under a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed under the Securities Act of 1933 under which securities of Newmont (including debt securities guaranteed by Newmont USA) may be issued (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). In accordance with Rule 3-10(e) of Regulation S-X, Newmont USA, as the subsidiary guarantor, is 100% owned by Newmont, the guarantees are full and unconditional, and no other subsidiary of Newmont guaranteed any security issued under the Shelf Registration Statement. There are no restrictions on the ability of Newmont or Newmont USA to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

At December 31, 2012, errors were identified in the previously reported condensed consolidating financial statements resulting from incorrectly applying the provisions of Rule 3-10(e) of Regulation S-X related to the presentation of the financial information of its subsidiary guarantor, Newmont USA. In the previously reported information, the Company presented Newmont USA on a consolidated basis with its non-guarantor subsidiaries and under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X Newmont USA should have presented its investment in subsidiaries based upon its proportionate share of its non-guarantor subsidiaries’ net assets (similar to the equity method of accounting). In addition, the Company corrected the Newmont Mining Corporation column for investments in subsidiaries previously presented in the Eliminations column. The tables following the revised condensed consolidating financial statements illustrate the effects of the errors, which relate to the columns for Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont USA, Other Subsidiaries and Eliminations, on previously reported condensed consolidating financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

The errors to the Newmont USA column for the incorrect presentation resulted in no change in previously reported line items for net income attributable to Newmont and stockholders’ equity. It did however have a significant impact on the previously reported cash balance, and cash flow from operations, investing and financing activities of Newmont USA as a result of the deconsolidation of its subsidiaries and the one line proportionate accounting pick up. Further, the Other Subsidiaries column changed by corresponding adjustments and to give effect to intercompany balances to include the non-guarantor subsidiaries of Newmont USA and the Eliminations column changes as a result of the above changes. In addition, the Company corrected an error in the Newmont Mining Corporation column related to stockholders’ equity and investment in subsidiaries. This was a result of a gain associated with a partial sale of a subsidiary that was previously included in the Eliminations column. The cash flow statement in the Newmont Mining Corporation column was revised to reflect earnings from subsidiaries, net of dividends received.

The Company concluded these errors were not material individually or in the aggregate to any of the previously issued financial statements taken as a whole. These errors had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of Newmont or any debt covenants and had no impact on the ability of Newmont’s subsidiaries to dividend cash to Newmont. The impact of these corrections to the applicable prior year period is reflected in the revised financial information and notes below.

The Company will revise the September 30, 2012 financial statements to reflect the revisions discussed above in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods in 2013.

In addition to the above, in April of the current year the Company merged one of its subsidiaries into Newmont USA. As a result of this merger, the prior periods presented have been revised to reflect this change as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations between entities under common control.

NOTE 26    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

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

Operating Segments

The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 26 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Minera Penmont matters relate to the North America reporting segment. The PTNNT matters relate to the Indonesia reportable segment.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various 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 so as to protect the public health and 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 costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1,360 and $1,341, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $59 and $62 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities .

In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $188 and $198 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities . 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 120% greater or 5% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2013. 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.

Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.

Newmont Mining Corporation

Empire Mine. On July 19, 2012, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (“Parks”) served Newmont, New Verde Mines LLC, Newmont North America Exploration Limited, Newmont Realty Company and Newmont USA Limited with a complaint for damages and declaratory relief under CERCLA, specifically for costs associated with water treatment at the Empire Mine State Park and for a declaration that Newmont is liable for past and future response costs, as well as indemnification to Parks. In 1975 Parks purchased the Empire Mine site in Grass Valley, California from Newmont to create a historic state park featuring the mining of the Empire Mine. Parks has operated the Empire Mine Site for over 35 years. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter.

Newmont USA Limited—100% Newmont Owned

Ross-Adams Mine Site.  By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service 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 intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

Hope Bay Mining Ltd.—100% Newmont Owned

In July 2011 Environment Canada Enforcement Officers discovered a release of drill water containing calcium chloride on Hope Bay Mining Ltd. (“HBML”) property in Nunavut, Canada. Orbit Garant Drilling Inc. (“Orbit”) operated a diamond drill rig on the HBML property. On February 13, 2013, HBML received service of a summons and charges from a Judge for Nunavut alleging violation of the Fisheries Act  relating to the release of drill water and alleged failure to report a discharge. Orbit operated the drill at issue in the summons. Total potential fines and penalties for proven charges of this nature could be up to $1. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter.

Other Legal Matters

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”)—51.35% Newmont Owned

Choropampa . In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 23 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered into between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. All appeals were referred to the Civil Court of Cajamarca, which affirmed the decisions of the lower court judge. The plaintiffs have filed appeals of such orders before the Supreme Court. Some of these appeals were dismissed by the Supreme Court in favor of Yanacocha, and others are pending resolution. Yanacocha will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

Administrative Actions . The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts bi-annual reviews of the Yanacocha site. In 2011, 2012, and 2013, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. In April 2013, OEFA issued a finding and penalty with respect to three 2008 allegations in the amount of $.1. Total fines for all outstanding OEFA alleged violations could range from $.1 to $17.4. Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot predict the outcome of the agency allegations.

Minera Penmont- 44% Newmont Owned

Newmont owns a 44% interest in the La Herradura joint venture and related gold properties (Herradura, Soledad-Dipolos and Noche Buena), which are located in the Sonora desert. La Herradura is operated by Fresnillo PLC (“Fresnillo”) through Minera Penmont S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Minera Penmont”) and Fresnillo owns the remaining 56% interest. Soledad-Dipolos commenced operations in January 2010. In 2009 five members of the El Bajio agrarian community in the state of Sonora (the “Claimants”), who claim rights over certain surface land in the proximity of the operations of Minera Penmont, lodged a legal claim with the Unitarian Agrarian Court of Hermosillo, Sonora to have Minera Penmont vacate an area of this surface land and associated claims. The land in dispute encompasses a portion of surface area where part of the operations of Dipolos, one of Minera Penmont’s three operating mines, is located as well as the processing plant for both the Dipolos mine and the Soledad mine. Minera Penmont’s mining concessions are held by way of separate title to that relating to the surface land. In September 2012, the Claimants obtained a ruling on the surface property dispute in their favor by the Mexican Supreme Court and in July 2013, a magistrate ordered Minera Penmont to vacate the property at issue, requiring cessation of production at the Dipolos operations. Minera Penmont has initiated legal proceedings to seek the expropriation of the disputed land in its favor, a process defined under Federal law in Mexico. Minera Penmont is projecting no production at the Soledad and Dipolos mines for the remainder of 2013 with an expected impact of up to 50,000 fewer ounces of production than forecasted for 2013, which translates into approximately 22,000 fewer ounces attributable to Newmont for 2013. Minera Penmont intends to defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) – 31.5% Newmont Owned

Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares were required to be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, owned a 20% interest in PTNNT at all relevant times, in 2006, a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and, in each of 2007 through 2010, an additional 7% interest was required to be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interests were offered for sale to the Indonesian parties was the fair market value of such interest considering PTNNT as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Following certain disputes and an arbitration with the Indonesian government, in November and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were sold to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”), the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were sold to PTMDB in February 2010, resulting in PTMDB owning a 24% interest in PTNNT.

On December 17, 2010, the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, acting on behalf of the Indonesian government, accepted the offer to acquire the final 7% interest in PTNNT. Subsequently, the Indonesian government designated Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (“PIP”), an agency of the Ministry of Finance, as the entity that will buy the final stake. On May 6, 2011, PIP and the foreign shareholders entered into a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of the final 7% divestiture stake, subject to receipt of approvals from certain Indonesian government ministries. Subsequent to signing the agreement, a disagreement arose between the Ministry of Finance and the Indonesian parliament in regard to whether parliamentary approval was needed to allow PIP to make the share purchase. In July 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that parliament approval is required for PIP to use state funds to purchase the shares, which approval has not yet been obtained. Further disputes may arise in regard to the divestiture of the 2010 shares.

Effective January 1, 2011, the local government in the region where the Batu Hijau mine is located commenced the enforcement of local regulations that purport to require PTNNT to pay additional taxes based on revenue and the value of PTNNT’s contracts. In addition, the regulations purport to require PTNNT to obtain certain export-related documents from the regional government for purposes of shipping copper concentrate. PTNNT is required to and has obtained all export related-documents in compliance with the laws and regulations of the central government. PTNNT believes that the new regional regulations are not enforceable as they expressly contradict higher level Indonesian laws that set out the permissible taxes that can be imposed by a regional government and all effective export requirements. PTNNT’s position is supported by Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, Ministry of Trade, and the provincial government. To date, PTNNT has not been forced to comply with these new contradictory regional regulations. On February 4, 2011, PTNNT filed legal proceedings seeking to have the regulations declared null and void because they conflict with the laws of Indonesia. Subsequently, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a decree declaring these local regulations to be contrary to Indonesian law and thus unenforceable. Further disputes with the local government could arise in relation to these regulations. PTNNT intends to vigorously defend its position in this dispute.

Additionally, in September 2011, WALHI brought an administrative law claim against Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment to challenge the May 2011 renewal of PTNNT’s submarine tailings permit. PTNNT and the regional government of KSB (“KSB”) filed separate applications for intervention into the proceedings, both of which were accepted by the Administrative Court. KSB intervened on the side of WALHI, and PTNNT joined on the side of the Ministry of Environment. On April 3, 2012, the Administrative Court ruled in favor of the Ministry of Environment and PTNNT, finding that the Ministry of Environment properly renewed the permit in accordance with Indonesian law and regulations. WALHI appealed the verdict. On October 2, 2012, the High Administrative Law Court rejected WALHI’s appeal, after which WALHI filed a notice to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. On May 28, 2013, the Supreme Court of Indonesia updated its website to provide that WALHI’s appeal in this matter was rejected. The parties are still awaiting the written decision from the court. PTNNT will continue to defend its submarine tailings permit and is confident that the Ministry of Environment acted properly in renewing PTNNT’s permit.

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 42% 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 that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Fronteer was not aware of any obstacle to doing so, that Aurora faced no serious environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced greater 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 NMC, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also names Fronteer Gold Inc and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint seeks rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. Newmont intends to defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with ASC income tax guidance (see Note 8).

The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $60 in 2013, $38 in 2014 through 2017 and $317 thereafter.

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

 

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $1,805 and $1,755, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

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.

Gold operating margin (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 68) of $501 and $681 per ounce for the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively.

Advancing our project pipeline

We remain focused on the progression of our next generation of mining projects. Approximately 40% of our 2013 capital expenditures will be allocated as development capital, including the Akyem project, the Phoenix Copper Leach project, the Turf Ventilation Shaft project and the Conga project, with the remaining 60% expected to be spent on sustaining capital. Additional capital investment is also possible at the Merian project in Suriname in 2013 pending the outcome of further dialogue with the government and project economic evaluation. 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.

Our opportunities in the Execution phase of development comprise a significant part of the Company’s growth strategy and include Akyem in Ghana, Phoenix Copper Leach and Turf Ventilation Shaft in Nevada and Conga in Peru, as described further below.

Table of Contents

Akyem, Ghana . Construction activities continue to progress on schedule and on budget. Commercial production is expected in late 2013. Gold production is expected to be 350,000 to 450,000 ounces per year at Costs applicable to sales of $500 to $650 per ounce for the first five years of the mine’s operating life of approximately 16 years. Capital costs are estimated at approximately $1,000, of which $837 have been incurred at June 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, we reported 7.4 million ounces of gold reserves at Akyem.

Phoenix Copper Leach, Nevada . The Board of Directors authorized full funding for the Phoenix Copper Leach project in April 2012. Copper production is expected to be approximately 20 million pounds per year for the first five years of production at Costs applicable to sales of $1.75 to $2.00 per pound, which are expected to be reported under the by-product method of accounting. First production is on target for fourth quarter 2013. Capital costs are expected to be $170 to $215, of which $133 have been incurred at June 30, 2013.

Turf Ventilation Shaft, Nevada. The Board of Directors authorized full funding for the Turf Vent Shaft project in April 2013. Additional ventilation supports profitable production growth from approximately 1.5 million tons of ore per year to more than 2 million tons, equating to an increase of production of approximately 100,000 to 150,000 ounces of gold per year over the 11 year mine life and lowers life of mine average mine operating costs. Capital costs are expected to be $360 to $400, of which $85 have been incurred at June 30, 2013.

Conga, Peru . Due to local political and community protests, construction and development activities at the Conga project were largely suspended in November 2011. The results of the Peruvian Central Government initiated Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) independent review were announced on April 20, 2012 and confirmed our initial EIA met Peruvian and International standards. The review made recommendations to provide additional water capacity and social funds, which we have largely accepted. We announced our decision to move the project forward on a “water first” approach on June 22, 2012. Spending on the project in 2013 is anticipated to be approximately $250, focusing on building the Chailhuagon water reservoir, completing the last engineering activities, and accepting delivery of the main equipment purchases. Total property, plant and mine development was $1,586 at June 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012 we reported 6.5 million attributable ounces of gold reserves and 1,690 million attributable pounds of copper reserves at Conga. Construction of Conga and the implementation of the independent EIA review recommendations will continue provided it can be done in a safe manner with risk-adjusted returns that justify future investment. Should we be unable to continue with the current development plan at Conga, we may reprioritize and reallocate capital to development alternatives which may result in a potential accounting impairment.

We continue to advance earlier stage development assets through our project pipeline in our five operating regions. The exploration, construction and operation of these earlier stage development assets may require significant funding if they go into execution. Three of these projects are described further below:

Merian, Suriname . Feasibility study work for the Merian project began in the third quarter of 2011 and was completed in 2012, increasing our equity interest in the joint venture with Alcoa to 80%. Pending signature of the mineral agreement by the government of Suriname and Newmont and receipt of various related government of Suriname approvals, Newmont’s Board of Directors will consider authorizing full funding for the development of the project. The development of the Merian project will allow Newmont to pursue a new district with upside potential and the opportunity to grow and extend the operating life of the South American region. First production is targeted for 2016 with initial estimated gold production (on a 100% basis) of 350,000 to 450,000 ounces per year. At December 31, 2012, we reported 2.9 million attributable ounces of gold reserves at Merian.

Long Canyon, Nevada . The project is in the selection and confirmation stage of development and we continue to develop our understanding of Long Canyon and the district. We have submitted the Plan-of-Operations to the Bureau of Land Management in support of our Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) and continue to progress the exploration program. A total of 85 kilometers of drilling was completed in 2012 and we anticipate an additional 65 kilometers to be drilled in 2013. Our intention is to bring the project into production in 2017.

Ahafo Mill Expansion, Ghana. The project is in the Feasibility Phase of development and consists of the design and construction of additional processing capacity at the Ahafo Mine in Ghana. The objective of the project is to increase processing capacity from the current 8 million tons of ore per year to 13-17 million tons, bringing profitable production from Ahafo forward. Pending Government approval of the Environmental Impact Statement and associated project permits, Newmont will consider authorizing full funding for the development of the project sometime in 2014.

Consolidated Financial Results

Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was a loss of $(2,019) ($(4.06) per share) compared to income of $279 ($0.56 per share) for the second quarter of 2012. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first half of 2013 was a loss of $(1,704) ($(3.43) per share) compared to income of $769 ($1.55 per share) for the first half of 2012. Results for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 were impacted by asset impairments of $1,497 (net of tax and minority interest) primarily related to the Boddington mine, tax valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of $535, and stockpile and leach pad write-downs of $272 (net of tax and minority interest). These asset impairments were the result of the current quarter decline in gold and copper prices as well as increasing operating costs.

Results for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012, were also impacted by lower production from Yanacocha and Batu Hijau, and lower realized gold and copper prices. Results for the first half of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 were impacted by asset impairments noted above; as well as lower production from Nevada, Yanacocha, Batu Hijau, and Ahafo, and lower realized gold and copper prices.

Gold Sales decreased 12% in the second quarter of 2013 due to lower realized prices partially offset by higher sales volumes. Gold Sales decreased 15% in the first half of 2013 due to lower sales volume and realized prices. The following analysis summarizes consolidated gold sales:

Costs applicable to sales for gold increased in the second quarter and first half of 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 due primarily to stockpile and leach pad write-downs at Boddington, Other Australia/New Zealand, Batu Hijau, and Yanacocha as a result of lower metal price assumptions and higher mining and processing costs, as previously discussed. Costs applicable to sales for copper increased in the second quarter and first half of 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 due to the aforementioned stockpile and leach pad write-downs at Batu Hijau and Boddington. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Amortization in the second quarter and first half of 2013 increased compared to the same period of 2012 due to the portion of amortization included in the cost of stockpiles and leach pads that was subject to the write-downs previously discussed, higher mine development costs, and higher asset retirement costs. We now expect Amortization to be $1,250 to $1,300 in 2013 including the impact of the stockpile and leach pad write-downs discussed above.

Exploration expense decreased $30 and $59 in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2012 due to decrease in both brownfields and greenfields expenditures in all our regions. Exploration activities in a number of countries including Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Cote d’Ivoire have been discontinued. We expect Exploration expense of $250 to $300 in 2013, focused primarily on our brownfields programs at Carlin, Long Canyon and Phoenix in Nevada, La Herradura in Mexico, Jundee and Tanami in Australia and Ahafo in Africa, whereas in the greenfields programs the focus will be on Nevada, Suriname-French Guiana, Andes and West Africa.

We now expect Advanced projects, research and development expenses of $300 to $350 in 2013, focused primarily on Long Canyon, underground exploration drifts in Nevada, and the start-up of Akyem in Africa.

General and administrative expense decreased by $3 and $1 for the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2012 due to lower labor costs. We now expect General and administrative expenses of $180 to $230 in 2013.

Write-downs totaled $2,261 and $2,262 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The 2013 write-down was primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s long-term gold and copper price assumptions to $1,400 per ounce and $3.00 per pound, respectively, combined with rising operating costs. These factors represented significant changes in the business, requiring the Company to evaluate for impairment. For purposes of this evaluation, estimates of future cash flows of the individual reporting units were used to determine fair value. The estimated cash flows were derived from life-of-mine plans, developed using long-term pricing reflective of the current price environment and management’s projections for operating costs.

Other expense, net decreased by $49 in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 mainly due to lower Hope Bay care and maintenance costs, regional administration expenses, and acquisition costs in 2012, partially offset by the restructuring charges. Other expense, net decreased by $70 in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 mainly due to lower Hope Bay care and maintenance costs and regional administration expenses, partially offset by restructuring charges and higher transaction costs.

Other income, net increased by $14 in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to higher foreign currency exchange gain, partially offset by lower income from developing projects. Other income, net increased by $7 in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 due to foreign currency exchange gain and lower impairment losses of marketable securities, partially offset by lower income from developing projects, lower gain on asset sales, and by a reduction of allowance for loan receivable in 2012.

Interest expense, net increased $12 for the first half of 2013 compared to 2012 due to the issuance of the 2022 and 2042 Senior Notes and higher drawdowns on the Corporate Credit Facility in the current year. Capitalized interest increased by $6 and $12 in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012 due to higher development project expenditures. We now expect Interest expense, net of $225 to $275 in 2013.

Income and mining tax benefit during the second quarter of 2013 was $325, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the second quarter of 2012 was $175 for an effective tax rate of 32%. The lower effective tax rate on the loss in the second quarter of 2013 is a result of the significant decrease in pretax income resulting in a dilution to the impact of percentage depletion and an increase in our valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

During the first half of 2013, the estimated income and mining tax benefit was $144, resulting in an effective tax rate of 7%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first half of 2012 was $518 for an effective tax rate of 33%. The lower effective tax rate on the loss in the first six months of 2013 is primarily due to the result of the significant decrease in pretax income resulting in a dilution to the impact of percentage depletion and an increase in our valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, we consider each quarter estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction to determine if the deferred tax assets are realizable. If we determine that we will not realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we will place or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if we determine that we will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced.

On the basis of available information at June 30, 2013, including the decrease in our long-term commodity price assumptions, rising operating costs and decrease in equity value, we concluded that we would not be able to realize the benefit from some of our deferred tax assets. As a result, we recorded a significant increase in our valuation allowance. This increase consists of $535 related to U.S. foreign and alternative minimum tax credits and $150 related to stockpile impairments.

The effective tax rates are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the above mentioned valuation allowance, Nevada and Peru mining taxes, and U.S. percentage depletion. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed February 22, 2013.

Due to the significant impairment recorded this quarter, we expect the 2013 consolidated tax benefit to be approximately 5% to 10%, assuming an average realized gold price of $1,400 per ounce.

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to a net loss of $212 in the second quarter and $170 in the first half of 2013 compared to a net income of $92 in the second quarter and $205 in the first half of 2012 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau and Minera Yanacocha as well as the TMAC transaction in March 2013.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes a reduction in the Holt property royalty liability. During the first half of 2013 the Company recorded a benefit from discontinued operations of $74, net of tax expense of $34, related to a decline in the gold spot price and an increase in discount rates. During the first half of 2012, the Company recorded a $71 charge, net of tax benefits of $4, to reflect an increase in future expected production at the Holt property. Due to the nature of the sliding scale royalty calculation, changes in expected production and the gold price have a significant impact on the fair value of the liability.

Second quarter 2013 compared to 2012

Consolidated gold production decreased 6% due to lower production at Yanacocha associated with completion of several mining areas in 2012 and lower grade and recovery at Batu Hijau partially offset by slightly higher production at Australia/New Zealand and Africa. Consolidated copper production decreased 13% due to lower mill throughput at Boddington and lower throughput and grade at Batu Hijau.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 30% due to stockpile and leach pad write-downs of $161 per ounce associated with lower gold prices and lower production. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 263% due to stockpile write-downs of $6.00 per pound associated with lower copper prices.

Amortization increased 41% per consolidated gold ounce sold due to the portion of the stockpile and leach pad write-downs associated with amortization, the remaining increase can be attributed to property, plant, and equipment additions in late 2012 in North America, and lower production from Yanacocha and Batu Hijau. Amortization increased 202% per consolidated copper pound sold due to the portion of the stockpile write-downs that was associated with amortization.

First half 2013 compared to 2012

Consolidated gold production decreased 10% due lower grades at Nevada, Ahafo, Batu Hijau, lower leach recoveries at La Herradura, and lower mill and leach production from Yanacocha. Consolidated copper production decreased 5% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau and lower throughput at Boddington.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 27% due to stockpile and leach pad write-downs, as previously discussed, of $86 per ounce, lower production from Nevada, Yanacocha, Batu Hijau, and Ahafo partially offset by higher production at Other Australia/New Zealand. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 169% due to stockpile write-downs, as previously discussed, of $3.37 per pound and lower production at Batu Hijau and higher costs allocated to copper at Boddington.

Amortization per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 40% due to the portion of the stockpile and leach pad write-downs that is associated with amortization, lower production from Nevada, Yanacocha, Batu Hijau, and Ahafo as well as additions to property, plant and equipment in North America late in 2012. Amortization increased 150% per consolidated copper pound sold due to the portion of the stockpile write-downs associated with amortization as well as lower production.

We now expect attributable gold production of 4.8 to 5.1 million ounces at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $750 to $825, including the stockpile and leach pad write-downs discussed above. We now expect copper production of 150 to 170 million pounds attributable to Newmont at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of $4.05 to $4.40 in 2013, including the stockpile write-downs as discussed above.

Second quarter 2013 compared to 2012

Nevada, USA.  Gold production increased 1% due to new production from Emigrant as well as higher grade and throughput at Phoenix essentially offset by lower tons and grade at Midas, lower grade and recovery at Mill 5, and lower grade at Mill 6. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 4% due to higher ounces sold. Amortization per ounce increased 16% due to lower grade production.

La Herradura, Mexico.  Gold production decreased 8% due to lower leach recoveries. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 38% due to higher waste mining and lower production. Amortization per ounce increased 24% due to lower production and the purchase of equipment in late 2012.

First half 2013 compared to 2012

Nevada, USA. Gold production decreased 6% primarily due to lower grade at Twin Creeks and lower grade and recovery at Mill 6. This was partially offset by higher mill throughput and grade at Phoenix and new production at Emigrant. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 10% due to lower ounces sold, lower capitalized mine development costs, and lower by-product credits associated with lower metal prices. Amortization per ounce increased 27% due to lower grade production.

La Herradura, Mexico. Gold production decreased 4% due to lower leach recoveries. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 31% due to higher waste tons mined in combination with lower production. Amortization per ounce increased 23% due to lower production and the purchase of equipment in late 2012.

We now expect gold production in North America of 1.9 to 2.0 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $600 to $650 in 2013. The decrease in our production guidance is related to a pending land dispute as explained in note 26 impacting production for La Herradura in the second half of 2013.

Second quarter 2013 compared to 2012

Yanacocha, Peru.  Gold production decreased 25% due to lower mill and leach production associated with the completion of mining at El Tapado in July of 2012. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 42% due to a leach pad write-down of $163 per ounce as a result of lower gold prices and lower by-product credits. Amortization per ounce increased 102% due to the portion of the leach pad write-down associated with amortization, lower production, and higher asset retirement costs.

First half 2013 compared to 2012

Yanacocha, Peru. Gold production decreased 24% due to lower mill and leach production associated with the completion of mining at El Tapado and smaller pits at Chaquicocha during 2012. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 33% due to a leach pad write-down of $92 per ounce as a result of lower gold prices, partially offset by lower workers participation expense. Amortization per ounce increased 90% due to the portion of the leach pad write-down associated with amortization, lower production, and higher asset retirement costs.

We now expect gold production in South America of approximately 550,000 to 600,000 ounces at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $650 to $700 in 2013, including the leach pad write-down discussed above.

Second quarter 2013 compared to 2012

Boddington, Australia. Gold and copper production decreased 5% and 11%, respectively, due to lower mill throughput partially offset by higher gold mill grade. Gold Costs applicable to sales increased 38% per ounce due to a stockpile write-down of $363 per ounce as a result of lower gold prices. Copper Costs applicable to sales increased 16% per pound due to a stockpile write-down of $0.85 per pound as a result of lower copper prices.

Other Australia/New Zealand . Gold production increased 13% due to higher mill throughput at Waihi as a result of a mill shutdown in prior year quarter and higher mill throughput and ore grade from underground sources at Tanami partially offset by lower grade at Jundee and Kalgoorlie. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 28% due to a stockpile write-down of $200 per ounce as a result of lower gold prices, the remaining increase in cost is due to higher mining costs at Jundee. Amortization per ounce increased 40% due to the portion of the stockpile write-down that was associated with amortization.

First half 2013 compared to 2012

Boddington, Australia. Gold production increased 1% due to higher mill grade that was essentially offset by lower throughput. Copper production increased 9% due to higher mill grade. Gold Costs applicable to sales increased 26% per ounce due largely to a stockpile write-down of $178 per ounce as a result of lower gold prices and the impact of the carbon tax. Copper Costs applicable to sales increased 19% per pound due primarily to a stockpile write-down of $0.41 per pound and higher costs allocated to copper on a co-product basis. Amortization increased 8% per ounce due to the portion of the stockpile write-down that is associated with amortization.

Table of Contents

Other Australia/New Zealand. Gold production increased 1% due to higher mill throughput at Waihi as a result of a mill shutdown in prior year coupled with higher grade, higher mill throughput at Tanami from higher underground ore availability partially offset by lower production from Kalgoorlie and Jundee. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 28% due to a stockpile write-down of $104 per ounce as a result of lower gold prices, the remaining increase is associated with higher mining costs at Jundee and the impact of the carbon tax partially offset by higher gold production. Amortization per ounce increased 37% mainly due to capital additions and the portion of the stockpile write-down that is associated with amortization.

We now expect attributable gold production for Australia/New Zealand to be 1.6 to 1.7 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $1,000 to $1,100, including the stockpile write-downs discussed above. We now expect our attributable copper production to be 70 to 80 million pounds at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of $2.75 to $2.95 in 2013, including the stockpile write-downs discussed above.

Second quarter 2013 compared to 2012

Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Gold and copper production decreased 19% and 14%, respectively, due to processing lower grade stockpile ore and lower mill throughput. Total tons mined increased as Phase 6 waste removal continues as planned. Costs applicable to sales increased 462% per ounce and 410% per pound due to stockpile write-downs of $4,083 per ounce and $8.63 per pound as a result of lower gold and copper prices, respectively, and lower production. Amortization increased 491% per ounce and 389% per pound due to the portion of the stockpile and inventory write-downs associated with amortization as well as lower production.

First half 2013 compared to 2012

Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Gold and copper production decreased 29% and 11%, respectively, due to lower ore grade and lower recovery. Total tons mined increased as Phase 6 waste removal continues as planned. Costs applicable to sales increased 298% per ounce and 271% per pound due to stockpile write-downs of $2,550 per ounce and $5.32 per pound, the remaining increase is associated with lower production. Amortization increased 350% per ounce and 278% per pound due to the portion of the stockpile and inventory write-downs associated with amortization.

Second quarter 2013 compared to 2012

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production increased 5% due to higher mill throughput and recovery, a drawdown of in-process inventory partially offset by lower grade. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 2% due to higher labor costs and employee transportation costs partially offset by higher production and lower diesel costs associated with shorter haul distance.

First half 2013 compared to 2012

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production decreased 14% due to lower mill grade partially offset by higher mill recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce was in line with the prior year period .

We continue to expect gold production in Africa to be 625,000 to 675,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $525 and $575 in 2013.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 51% and 44% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Approximately 50% and 44% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first half of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations did not have a significant impact on our Costs applicable to sales per ounce, net of hedging gains, during the second quarter and first half of 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Provided from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from continuing operations was $732 in the first half of 2013, a decrease of $232 from the first half of 2012, primarily due to lower gold production and a lower average realized gold price partially offset by a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities. The decrease in net operating assets and liabilities of $307 in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 is due to decreases in accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $1,105 during the first half of 2013 compared to $1,714 during the same period of 2012, respectively. Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Capital expenditures in North America during the first half of 2013 primarily related to the construction of the Phoenix Copper Leach project, the development of the Turf Vent Shaft project, surface and underground mine development and infrastructure improvements in Nevada, as well as mill expansion capital in Mexico. Capital expenditures in South America were primarily related to the Conga and Merian projects, surface mine and leach pad development and equipment purchases. The majority of capital expenditures in Australia and New Zealand were for underground mine development, tailings facility construction, mining equipment purchases and infrastructure improvements. Capital expenditures in Batu Hijau were primarily for equipment and equipment component purchases. Capital expenditures in Africa were primarily related to Akyem development and the Subika expansion project, equipment purchases and surface mine development at Ahafo.

At June 30, 2013, $464 of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents was attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily related to our Indonesian and Peruvian operations which is being held to fund those operations and development projects. At June 30, 2013, $342 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($218 attributable to Newmont) was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated may be subject to withholding taxes, which would generate foreign tax credits in the U.S. As a result, we expect that there would be minimal U.S. tax liability upon repatriation of these amounts after considering available foreign tax credits. All other amounts represent earnings that are taxed in the U.S. on a current basis due to being held in U.S. subsidiaries or non-U.S. subsidiaries that are flow-through entities for U.S. tax purposes.

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations and flow-through foreign subsidiaries are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.

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. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1,360 and $1,341, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties.

In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $188 and $198 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We spent $12 and $27 during the first half of 2013 and 2012, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities and have classified $18 as a current liability at June 30, 2013.

During the first half of 2013 and 2012, capital expenditures were approximately $40 and $86, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by 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.

Adjusted net income (loss)

Management of the Company 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 compare results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals to similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional or unusual items. 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:

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on both a consolidated and attributable to Newmont basis. Attributable costs applicable to sales are based on our economic interest in production from our mines. For operations where we hold less than a 100% economic share in the production, we exclude the share of gold or copper production attributable to the noncontrolling interest. We include attributable costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound to provide management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound 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.

Net attributable costs applicable to sales per ounce measures the benefit of copper produced in conjunction with gold, as a credit against the cost of producing gold. A number of other gold producers present their costs net of the contribution from copper and other non-gold sales. We believe that including a measure on this basis provides management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers, and to better assess the overall performance of our business. In addition, this measure provides information to enable investors and analysts to understand the importance of non-gold revenues to our cost structure.

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

All-In Sustaining Costs

The World Gold Council (“WGC”) is a non-profit association of the world’s leading gold mining companies, established in 1987 to promote the use of gold from industry, consumers and investors. The WGC has worked with its member companies to develop a metric that expands on GAAP measures such as cost of goods sold and non-GAAP measures to provide visibility into the economics of a gold mining company regarding its expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from operations. Newmont is a member company of the WGC and has been working with the fellow members and the WGC to develop an all-in sustaining cash cost measure. In June 2013, WGC’s Board approved the “all-in sustaining cash-cost non-GAAP measure” as a measure to increase investor’s visibility by better defining the total costs associated with producing gold. The WGC is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards or disclosure requirements.

Current GAAP-measures used in the gold industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop, and sustain gold production. Therefore, we believe that all-in sustaining costs and attributable all-in sustaining costs are non-GAAP measures that provide additional information to management, investors, and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other gold producers.

All-in sustaining costs 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 and policies applied, in accounting frameworks such as International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Differences may also arise related to a different definition of sustaining versus development capital activities based upon each company’s internal policy.

In determining All-in sustaining costs, the cost associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold is reduced by the benefit received from the sale of copper pounds. This is consistent with how we determine “Net attributable costs applicable to sales” per ounce. We determined “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 development. All other costs related to existing operations are considered sustaining and are included in our All-in sustaining cost non-GAAP financial measure. These costs include the income statement line items Costs applicable to sales , General and administrative , Exploration , Advanced projects, research and development and Other expense, net . However, we exclude certain expenses from Other expense, net to be consistent with the adjustments made to Net income (loss) as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss), above. In addition we add in remediation costs and sustaining capital expenditures. The sum of these costs, less copper sales is divided by gold ounces sold to determine a per ounce amount. Attributable all-in sustaining costs are based on our economic interest in production from our mines. For operations where we hold less than a 100% economic share in the production, we exclude the share of gold or copper production attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Operating margin per ounce/pound

Operating margin per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by subtracting the costs applicable to sales per ounce of gold and per pound of copper from the average realized gold price per ounce and copper price per pound, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Operating margin per ounce/pound 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. Operating margin per ounce/pound is calculated as follows:

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 also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.

Decreases in the market price of gold and copper can also significantly affect the value of our product inventory and stockpiles and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV 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 stockpiles 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 NRV for each mine site reporting unit at June 30, 2013 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a long-term gold price of $1,400 per ounce, a long-term copper price of $3.00 per pound and an Australian to U.S. dollar exchange rate of $ 0.935. A 10% decrease in long term gold and copper prices at June 30, 2013, would have resulted in additional stockpiles and leach pads write-downs before tax in the range of approximately $650 to $700 before tax and minority interest.

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

Hedging

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

By using derivatives, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or make any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.

Cash Flow Hedges

We utilize foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. We hedge a portion of our A$ and NZ$ denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to five years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ and $/NZ$ rates, respectively. We use diesel contracts to reduce the variability of our operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at our Nevada operations. All of the currency, diesel and forward starting swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future expenditures, and as such, changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income . Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings .

Forward Starting Swaps

During 2011, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2,000. These contracts hedged movements in treasury rates related to a debt issuance that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. On March 8, 2012, we closed the sale of $2,500 senior notes consisting of 3.5% senior notes due 2022 in the principal amount of $1,500 (10-year notes), and 4.875% senior notes due 2042 in the principal amount of $1,000 (30-year notes). As a result, the forward-starting interest rate swaps were settled for $362, of which $349 represented the effective portion of the hedging instrument included in Accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) . The net proceeds from the debt issuance were adjusted by the settlement amount of the swap contracts and included as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Commodity Price Risk

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

London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $3.25 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.22 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.42 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.38 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $15 ($0.27 per pound) and loss of $24 ($0.25 per pound), respectively. At June 30, 2013, Newmont had copper sales of 54 million pounds priced at an average of $3.07 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.10 change in the price for provisionally priced sales would have an approximate $3 effect on our net income(loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at June 30, 2013 for copper was $3.06 per pound.

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,415 per ounce during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,408 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,523 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,517 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $24 ($18 per ounce) and loss of $22 ($9 per ounce), respectively. At June 30, 2013, Newmont had gold sales of 88,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,192 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 approximately $1 effect on our net income(loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London P.M. closing settlement price at June 30, 2013 for gold was $1,192 per ounce.

 

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.

Changes in Internal Controls

The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that its books and records accurately reflect transactions and that established policies and procedures are followed. The Company is implementing an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system on a staged basis at its most significant subsidiaries around the world, excluding Indonesia. The Company began the implementation of the ERP system in North America during the second quarter of 2012 and continued with the implementation in South America during the third quarter of 2012, Australia/New Zealand during the fourth quarter of 2012 and Africa in the first quarter of 2013, which resulted in a change to its system of internal control over financial reporting. The Company is implementing the global ERP system to improve standardization and automation, and not in response to a deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting. The Company believes that the implementation of the ERP system and related changes to internal controls will enhance its internal controls over financial reporting while providing the ability to scale its business in the future. See Item 1A in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K for risk factors related to the implementation and integration of information technology systems. The Company has taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during this period of change and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls during subsequent periods.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

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

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

The operation of our U.S. based mines 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 mines 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.

If the actual amount is equal to the minimum amount, the Performance Percentage is 20%;

 

   

If the actual amount is less than the target amount and greater than the minimum amount, the Performance Percentage is the sum of (A) 20%, plus (B) the product of 20%, times a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the actual amount and the minimum amount, and the denominator of which is the difference between the target amount and the minimum amount;


   

If the actual amount is equal to the target amount, the Performance Percentage is 100%;

 

   

If the actual amount is greater than the target amount and less than the maximum amount, the Performance Percentage is the sum of (A) 100%, plus (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference between the actual amount and the target amount, and the denominator of which is the difference between the maximum amount and the target amount; and

 

   

If the actual amount is greater than or equal to the maximum amount, the Performance Percentage is 200%.

(ii) Calculating the Payout Percentage for each Economic Performance Driver . The payout percentage for each Economic Performance Driver is the product of the Performance Percentage times the applicable weighting factor as listed in Appendix A (“Payout Percentage for each Economic Performance Driver”).

(iii) Calculating the Aggregate Payout Percentage . The Aggregate Payout Percentage is the sum of the Payout Percentages for each Performance Factor.

3.5 Determination of Target Performance Level . An Employee’s Target Performance Level is determined by the Employee’s Pay Grade pursuant to the table in Appendix B.

In conjunction with these ratings, Newmont Mining will assign a Personal Performance Bonus Factor for the Employee as listed in Appendix C and the Employee’s supervisor shall also recommend a Personal Performance Payout Factor within the range stated in Appendix C corresponding to the rating that Employee’s supervisor assigned to Employee. Newmont Mining may increase or decrease any eligible Employee’s Personal Performance Bonus Factor in its sole discretion.


4.2 Determination of Personal Performance Bonus . Subject to Section 4.3, an eligible Employee’s Personal Performance Bonus is determined by multiplying the eligible Employee’s Bonus Eligible Earnings times the determined percentage from the Target Performance Level, as set forth in Appendix C times the Personal Performance Bonus Factor determined pursuant to Section 4.1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive ceases to be employed by Newmont and/or a Subsidiary prior to completion of the Vesting Period as a result of: a) a termination of employment entitling Executive to benefits under a Severance Plan of Newmont, or; b) retirement under the Pension Plan of Newmont entitling Executive to an immediate pension (not including stable value retirement unless Executive has reached the age of 65 or retirement under the International Retirement Plan of Newmont (“IRP”) entitling Executive to 100% vesting in the IRP supplemental amount), the Vesting Period shall terminate for a pro-rata percentage of the shares granted, based upon the date of grant and separation date, in accordance with the following formula:

If Executive ceases to be employed by Newmont and/or a Subsidiary prior to the completion of the Vesting Period under circumstances other than those set forth above, namely death, disability, termination qualifying for benefits under the Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont applicable to Executive or separation qualifying for benefits under the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont or retirement as stated above, Executive agrees that any unvested RSUs will be immediately and unconditionally forfeited without any action required by Executive or Newmont, to the extent that the Vesting Period had not ended in accordance with Paragraph 2 as of the date of such cessation of employment.

4. No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Common Stock. Executive shall not have any rights as a shareholder of Newmont with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, including but not limited to the right to vote with respect to such shares of Common Stock, until and after the shares of Common Stock have been actually issued to Executive and transferred on the books and records of Newmont; provided, however, upon vesting of the RSUs pursuant to the Vesting Period, or Executive’s earlier termination of employment under circumstances entitling Executive to vest in the RSUs pursuant to Paragraph 3, Newmont shall make a cash payment to the Executive equal to any dividends paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying such RSUs from the date of this Agreement until the date such RSUs vest, minus any applicable taxes.

5. Withholding Taxes. Upon vesting pursuant to the Vesting Period, or Executive’s earlier termination of employment under circumstances entitling Executive to vest in the RSUs pursuant to Paragraph 3, Executive shall be entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock, less an amount of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of vesting equal to the minimum required withholding obligation taking into account Executive’s effective tax rate and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes, and Executive shall be entitled to receive the net number of shares of Common Stock after withholding of shares for taxes unless such tax obligations are satisfied in accordance with Paragraph 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such taxes are required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock Units prior to the end of the Vesting Period, Executive agrees that Newmont may withhold such amount for taxes through payroll services from other cash compensation payable to Executive from Newmont.

6. Delivery of Shares of Common Stock. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of vesting pursuant to the Vesting Period, or Executive’s earlier termination of employment or other event entitling Executive to vest in the RSUs pursuant to Paragraph 3, subject to Section 9(i), Newmont shall cause to be delivered to Executive a stock certificate or electronically deliver shares through a direct registration system for the number of shares of Common Stock (net of tax withholding as provided in Paragraph 5) deliverable to Executive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided , however , that Newmont may allow Executive to elect to have shares of Common Stock, which are deliverable in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement upon vesting (or a portion of such shares at least sufficient to satisfy Executive’s tax withholding obligations with respect to such Common Stock), sold on behalf of Executive, with the cash proceeds thereof, net of tax withholding, remitted to Executive, in lieu of Executive receiving a stock certificate or electronic delivery of shares in a direct registration system.

7. Nontransferability. Executive’s interest in the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, prior to such time as the shares of Common Stock have actually been issued and delivered to Executive.

8. Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges receipt of and understands and agrees to the terms of the RSUs award and the Plan. In addition to the above terms, Executive understands and agrees to the following:

(a) Executive hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including the terms and provisions adopted after the date of this Agreement but prior to the completion of the Vesting Period. If and to the extent that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.

(b) Executive acknowledges that as of the date of this Agreement, the Agreement, the Grant Acknowledgement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Executive and Newmont regarding the acquisition of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs in Newmont and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the RSUs.

(c) Executive understands that his or her employer, Newmont and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about Executive, including but not limited to his or her name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, salary, nationality, job title and details of all RSUs or other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding (“personal data”). Certain personal data may also constitute “sensitive personal data” within the meaning of applicable law. Such data include but are not limited to the information provided above and any changes thereto and other appropriate personal and financial data about Executive. Executive hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont and any of its Subsidiaries to process any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data. Executive also hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data outside the country in which Executive is employed, including, but not limited to the United States. The legal persons for whom such personal data are intended include, but are not limited to Newmont and its agent, Computershare Investor Services. Executive has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by applying to Director of Compensation, Newmont Corporate.

 

- 3 -


(d) Executive understands that Newmont has reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, and that the award of RSUs under the Plan at one time does not in any way obligate Newmont or its Subsidiaries to grant additional RSUs in any future year or in any given amount. Executive acknowledges and understands that the RSUs are awarded in connection with Executive’s status as an employee of his or her employer and can in no event be interpreted or understood to mean that Newmont is Executive’s employer or that there is an employment relationship between Executive and Newmont. Executive further acknowledges and understands that Executive’s participation in the Plan is voluntary and that the RSUs and any future RSUs under the Plan are wholly discretionary in nature, the value of which do not form part of any normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, other than to the extent required by local law.

(e) Executive acknowledges and understands that the future value of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Executive under the Plan is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and that no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the RSUs or termination of the Plan or the diminution in value of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and Executive irrevocably releases Newmont and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise.

(f) Executive acknowledges that the vesting of the RSUs ceases upon the earlier of termination of employment or receipt of notice of termination of employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be explicitly provided herein, and the Executive irrevocably waives any right to the contrary under applicable law.

(g) Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s acceptance of the RSUs, including the terms and conditions herein, is voluntary.

9. Miscellaneous

(a) No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the RSUs nor any terms contained in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive any expressed or implied right to be retained in the service of any Subsidiary for any period at all, nor restrict in any way the right of any such Subsidiary, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his or her employment at any time with or without cause. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any right to receive delivery of shares of Common Stock is earned only by continuing as an employee of a Subsidiary at the will of such Subsidiary, or satisfaction of any other applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the Plan, and not through the act of being hired, being granted the RSUs or acquiring shares of Common Stock hereunder.

(b) Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The award of the RSUs to Executive and the obligation of Newmont to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to (a) all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and (b) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Newmont Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, shares of Common Stock shall not be delivered hereunder if such delivery would be contrary to applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

 

- 4 -


(c) Investment Representation. If at the time of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, Executive shall execute, prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock to Executive by Newmont, an agreement (in such form as the Newmont Committee may specify) in which Executive represents and warrants that Executive is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under this Agreement for Executive’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption Executive shall, prior to any offer for sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Newmont Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Newmont Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.

(d) Definitions. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement that are not defined herein have the meanings defined in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail.

(e) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall, if to Newmont, be in accordance with the Plan, and, if to Executive, be in writing and delivered in person or by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, postage prepaid, addressed to Executive at his or her last known address as set forth in Newmont’s records.

(f) Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement should be deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

(g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(h) Transferability of Agreement. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto, other than by operation of law. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, in the case of Executive, his or her estate, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, designated beneficiary and personal representatives. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent transfer of the RSUs in the event of Executive’s death in accordance with Section 14(b) of the Plan.

(i) Specified Employee Delay . If Newmont determines that settlement of RSUs hereunder (i) constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), (ii) is made to Executive by reason of his or her “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), and (iii) Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) at the time settlement would otherwise occur, transfers of Common Stock will be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the date of such separation from service or, if earlier, on Executive’s death.

(j) Modification. Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any provision hereof be waived, in any way except in writing signed by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend this Agreement to the extent it determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder and any such amendment shall be binding on Executive.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to Executive’s Grant Acknowledgement (including without limitation, the Terms and Conditions section hereof), incorporated herein by reference, and electronically executed by Executive, Executive agrees to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement.

This Director Stock Unit Agreement (“Agreement”) is dated as of April 25, 2013, between Newmont Mining Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Newmont”), and Board Director (“Director”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Director is a director of Newmont; and

WHEREAS, in recognition of the Director’s service as a director of Newmont rendered and to be rendered during the 2013 calendar year, the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (“Newmont Committee”) has awarded Director a right to receive shares of common stock, $1.60 par value, of Newmont (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those of the Newmont Mining Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”); capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Newmont hereby documents such award to Director of a right to receive 3,748 shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan (each such right to receive a share of Common Stock, a “DSU,” and collectively, the “DSUs”), and in connection with such award, Newmont and Director hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT:

1. Immediate Vesting. The DSUs are immediately fully vested and nonforfeitable.

2. No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Common Stock. Director shall not have any rights as a stockholder of Newmont with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the DSUs, including but not limited to the right to vote with respect to such shares of Common Stock, until and after such shares of Common Stock have been actually issued to Director and transferred on the books and records of Newmont; provided, however, that each DSU shall accrue Dividend Equivalents during the period from the date of this Agreement until the date such shares are delivered in accordance with Paragraph 3, payable in cash at the time specified in Paragraph 3.

For purposes of this Agreement, “retirement” from the Board means separation from service (as a director, employee or other service provider) with Newmont and the Affiliates under any circumstances, including due to death.


4. Nontransferability. Director’s interest in the DSUs and any shares of Common Stock relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, prior to such time as such shares of Common Stock have actually been issued and delivered to Director.

5. Acknowledgements. Director acknowledges receipt of and understands and agrees to the terms of the DSUs awarded hereunder and the Plan. In addition to the above terms, Director understands and agrees to the following:

(a) Director hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including the terms and provisions adopted after the date of this Agreement but prior to the distribution of Common Stock underlying the DSUs. If and to the extent that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.

(b) Director acknowledges that this Agreement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Director and Newmont regarding the DSUs and the shares of Common Stock underlying the DSUs and supersedes any prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the DSUs and/or such shares.

(c) Director understands that Newmont and/or the Affiliates hold certain personal information about Director, including but not limited to his or her name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, remuneration, nationality, title and details of all DSUs or other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding (“personal data”). Certain personal data may also constitute “sensitive personal data” within the meaning of applicable law. Such data include but are not limited to the information provided above and any changes thereto and other appropriate personal and financial data about Director. Director hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont and any of the Affiliates to process any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data. Director also hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data outside the country in which Director renders services, including, but not limited to, the United States. The legal persons for whom such personal data are intended include, but are not limited to, Newmont and its stock transfer agent, Computershare Shareowner Services. Director has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by applying to the Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary of Newmont.

(d) Director understands that Newmont has reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, and that the award of DSUs under the Plan at one time does not in any way obligate Newmont or any Affiliate to grant additional DSUs or other Awards in any future year or in any given amount, except in accordance with the express terms and conditions of the Plan, as in effect from time to time. Director acknowledges and understands that the DSUs are awarded in connection with Director’s status as a non-employee director of Newmont and can in no event be interpreted or understood to mean that Newmont is Director’s employer or that there is an employment relationship between Director and Newmont. Director further acknowledges and understands that Director’s participation in the Plan is voluntary and that the DSUs and any future Awards under the Plan are wholly discretionary in nature, the value of which do not form part of any normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, other than to the extent required by local law or as expressly set forth in the Plan or to the extent expressly determined by the Board or the Newmont Committee.

(e) Director acknowledges and understands that the future value of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Director under the Plan is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and that no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the Plan or the diminution in value of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and Director irrevocably releases Newmont and the Affiliates from any such claim that may arise.

6. No Right to Continued Service. Neither the DSUs nor any terms contained in this Agreement shall confer upon Director any express or implied right to be retained in the service of Newmont or any Affiliate for any period at all, nor restrict in any way the right of Newmont or any Affiliate, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his or her service at any time with or without cause, subject to applicable law and the applicable provisions of Newmont’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.

7. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The award of the DSUs to Director and the obligation of Newmont to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to (a) all applicable federal, state, local and non-United States laws, rules and regulations, and (b) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Newmont Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, shares of Common Stock shall not be delivered hereunder if such delivery would be contrary to applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

8. Investment Representation. If at the time of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, Director shall, if requested by the Newmont Committee, execute, prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock to Director by Newmont, an agreement (in such form as the Newmont Committee may specify) in which Director represents and warrants that Director is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under this Agreement for Director’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption Director shall, prior to any offer for sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Newmont Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Newmont Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.

 

- 3 -


9. Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall, if to Newmont, be in accordance with the Plan, and, if to Director, be in writing and delivered in person or by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, postage prepaid, addressed to Director at his or her last known address as set forth in Newmont’s records.

10. Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement should be deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

11. Governing Law. Except as to matters concerning the issuance of Common Stock or other matters of corporate governance, which shall be determined, and related DSU provisions construed, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of Colorado to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Plan.

12. Modification. Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any provision hereof be waived, in any way except in writing signed by the parties hereto.

13. Transferability of Agreement. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto, other than by operation of law. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, in the case of Director, his or her estate, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, designated beneficiary and personal representatives. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent transfer of the DSUs in the event of Director’s death in accordance with Section 14(b) of the Plan.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Newmont Mining Corporation has caused this Agreement to be executed by a duly authorized officer, and Director has executed this Agreement, both as of the day and year first written above.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety Disclosure

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, which requires certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). The disclosures reflect our U.S. mining operations only as the requirements of the Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K do not apply to our mines operated outside the United States.

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the U.S. mining operator (e.g. our subsidiary, Newmont USA Limited) must abate the alleged violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until the alleged hazards are corrected. When MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the alleged violation, that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the mine as well as by the MSHA inspector(s) assigned.

The below table reflects citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The proposed assessments for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 were taken from the MSHA data retrieval system as of July 1, 2013.

Additional information about the Act and MSHA references used in the table follows.

 

   

Section 104(a) S&S Citations : Citations received from MSHA under section 104(a) of the Mine Act for violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard.

 

   

Section 104(b) Orders : Orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated.

 

   

Section 104(d) S&S Citations and Orders : Citations and orders issued by MSHA under section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory, significant and substantial health or safety standards.

 

   

Section 110(b)(2) Violations : Flagrant violations issued by MSHA under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.

 

   

Section 107(a) Orders : Orders issued by MSHA under section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an “imminent danger” (as defined by MSHA) existed.

(1) The definition of a mine under section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools, and minerals preparation facilities. Unless otherwise indicated, any of these other items associated with a single mine have been aggregated in the totals for that mine. MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities such as preparation facilities. We are providing the information in the table by mine rather than MSHA identification number because that is how we manage and operate our mining business and we believe this presentation will be more useful to investors than providing information based on MSHA identification numbers.
(2) 20 Section 104(a) S&S Citations and—Section 104(d) S&S Citations and Orders were subject to contest as of June 30, 2013.
(3) Represents the total dollar value of the proposed assessment from MSHA under the Mine Act pursuant to the citations and or orders preceding such dollar value in the corresponding row. No proposed assessments of the orders or citations listed above had yet been posted to the MSHA data retrieval system or made available to the Company by MSHA as of June 30, 2013.

Pattern or Potential Pattern of Violations . During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, none of the mines operated by us received written notice from MSHA of (a) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of mine health or safety hazards under section 104(e) of the Mine Act or (b) the potential to have such a pattern.

Pending Legal Actions . The following table reflects pending legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”), an independent adjudicative agency that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act, as of June 30, 2013, together with the number of legal actions instituted and the number of legal actions resolved during 2013.

(2) The foregoing list includes legal actions which were initiated prior to the current reporting period and which do not necessarily relate to citations, orders or proposed assessments issued by MSHA during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The number of legal actions noted above are reported on a per docket basis.

Legal actions pending before the Commission may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA or complaints of discrimination by miners under section 105 of the Mine Act. The following is a brief description of the types of legal actions that may be brought before the Commission.

 

   

Contests of Citations and Orders: A contest proceeding may be filed with the Commission by operators, miners or miners’ representatives to challenge the issuance of a citation or order issued by MSHA.

 

   

Contests of Proposed Penalties (Petitions for Assessment of Penalties) : A contest of a proposed penalty is an administrative proceeding before the Commission challenging a civil penalty that MSHA has proposed for the alleged violation contained in a citation or order. The validity of the citation may also be challenged in this proceeding as well.

 

   

Complaints for Compensation: A complaint for compensation may be filed with the Commission by miners entitled to compensation when a mine is closed by certain withdrawal orders issued by MSHA. The purpose of the proceeding is to determine the amount of compensation, if any, due miners idled by the orders.

 

   

Complaints of Discharge, Discrimination or Interference : A discrimination proceeding is a case that involves a miner’s allegation that he or she has suffered a wrong by the operator because he or she engaged in some type of activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint.

 

   

Applications for Temporary Relief : An application for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order or from any order issued under section 104 of the Mine Act.

 

3


   

Appeals of Judges’ Decisions or Orders to the Commission : A filing with the Commission of a petition for discretionary review of a Judge’s decision or order by a person who has been adversely affected or aggrieved by such decision or order.

The following table reflects the types of legal actions pending before the Commission as of June 30, 2013.

MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities such as preparation facilities. We are providing the information in the table by mine rather than MSHA identification number because that is how we manage and operate our mining business and we believe this presentation will be more useful to investors than providing information based on MSHA identification numbers.
