Item 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
At Newmont, safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. We are working diligently to strengthen and improve our safety systems, along with the key safety tools that we use in the field. Newmont’s unified approach to safety and health called Always Safe, focuses on Integrated Systems, Robust Capabilities and Empowered Behaviors, through a leadership commitment to care, clarity, and capability. We will also continue to transparently share the lessons we learned with our employees and our peers in the industry to help improve the safety performance of our sector.
Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” crisis management process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards. The health and safety of our people and our host communities is paramount.
Issuers operating U.S. mine sites regulated by MSHA are required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K. On February 28, 2025, the Company sold its ownership in the CC&V mine. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. As a result of this sale, the Company no longer operates any U.S. based mine sites regulated by MSHA. The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 95 to Newmont Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on April 24, 2025.
It is noted that the Nevada mines owned by Nevada Gold Mines LLC, the joint venture between the Company (38.5%) and Barrick (61.5%), are not required to be disclosed in Exhibit 95 mine safety disclosure reporting as such sites are operated by our joint venture partner, Barrick.

(1)The total number of shares purchased (and the average price paid per share) reflects: (i) shares purchased pursuant to the repurchase program described in (2) below; and (ii) shares delivered to the Company from stock awards held by employees upon vesting for the purpose of covering the recipients’ tax withholding obligations, totaling 25,062 shares, 8,029 shares, and 11,337 shares for the fiscal months of October, November, December 2025, respectively. Subsequent to the end of the covered period, the Company repurchased 672,232 additional shares at an average price of $111.81 per share pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan for a total amount of $3,624 repurchased as of the date of filing under the stock repurchase programs described in (2) below.
(2)In February 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock award vesting and to provide returns to stockholders, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased does not exceed $1,000; this program has been completed. In October 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2,000 stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock; this program has been completed. In July 2025, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $3,000 stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock. The program will be executed at the Company's discretion. The repurchase program has no expiration date, may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future.
