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 Corporation, a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring 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, 2022 filed on February 23, 2023 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 GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

Newcrest transaction

On May 14, 2023 (May 15, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time), the Company and Newmont Overseas Holding Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary company listed by shares and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont ("Newmont Sub"), entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (as amended from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”) with Newcrest Mining Limited ("Newcrest") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Newcrest in a stock transaction, by way of an Australian court-approved Scheme of Arrangement (the “Scheme”, and such acquisition, the “Newcrest Transaction”). Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Newcrest shareholders will receive 0.400 of a share of Newmont’s common stock (or 0.400 CHESS Depositary Interests or 0.400 PETS depositary interests, in each case, each one representing a unit of beneficial ownership in Newmont common stock) for each Newcrest common share and a special dividend of $1.10 per share, to be paid by Newcrest prior to the implementation of the Newcrest Transaction.

On October 11, 2023 and October 12, 2023 (October 13, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time), the Newmont and Newcrest shareholders approved the Newcrest Transaction, respectively, which was then subsequently approved by the Australian court on October 16, 2023 (October 17, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time). As previously announced, the transaction has received all of the government and regulatory approvals necessary for the transaction to proceed and is expected to be implemented in November 2023.

Noncontrolling interests

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest is comprised of income, primarily related to Suriname Gold project C.V. (“Merian”), of $5 and $7 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $17 and $41 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Newmont consolidates Merian through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the primary beneficiary of Merian, which is a variable interest entity.

Yanacocha transaction

In February 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura”) 43.65% noncontrolling interest in Yanacocha for $300 cash consideration, certain royalties on any production from other future potential projects, and contingent payments of up to $100 tied to higher metal prices, achieving commercial production at the Yanacocha Sulfides project and resolution on the outstanding Yanacocha tax dispute. Concurrently, the Company sold its 46.94% ownership interest in Minera La Zanja S.R.L. ("La Zanja") for a $45 loss on sale of its equity interest, included in Other income (loss), net. Additionally, in June 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 5% interest held by Sumitomo in exchange for cash consideration of $48, resulting in the Company obtaining 100% ownership interest in Yanacocha.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company continues to experience the impacts from geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting volatile environment, the Company continues to monitor inflationary conditions, the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market.

These factors could have further potential short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts on the Company including, but not limited to, volatility in commodity prices and the prices for gold and other metals, changes in the equity and debt markets or country specific factors adversely impacting discount rates, significant cost inflation impacts on production, capital and asset retirement costs, logistical challenges, workforce interruptions and financial market disruptions, as well as potential impacts to estimated costs and timing of projects.

The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impacts of the current and ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. Depending on the duration and extent of ongoing global developments, these factors could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and could result in material impairment charges to the

NEWMONT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill.

Refer to Note 18 below for further information on risks and uncertainties that could have a potential impact on the Company as well as Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.

In June 2023, the Company announced the deferral of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru for at least two years to the second half of 2026. The delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project is intended to focus funds on current operations and other capital commitments while management assesses execution and project options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. To the extent that assessment determines that the project is no longer sufficiently profitable or economically feasible under the Company’s internal requirements, it would result in negative modifications to the Company's proven and probable reserves. Additionally, should the Company ultimately decide to forgo the development of Yanacocha Sulfides, the current carrying value of the assets under construction and other long-lived assets of the Yanacocha operations could become impaired and the timing of certain closure activities would be accelerated. As of September 30, 2023, the Yanacocha operations have total long-lived assets of approximately $1,163, inclusive of approximately $822 of assets under construction related to Yanacocha Sulfides. Refer also to the Company's risk factors under the titles "Estimates relating to projects and mine plans of existing operations are uncertain and we may incur higher costs and lower economic returns than estimated” and "Our long-lived assets and goodwill could become impaired, which could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations” included in Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023, for further information.

Additionally, the Company continues to hold the Conga project in Peru, which we do not currently anticipate developing in the next ten years as we continue to assess Yanacocha Sulfides; accordingly, the Conga project remains in care and maintenance. Should we be unable to develop the Conga project or conclude that future development is not in the best interest of the business, we may consider other alternatives for the project, which may result in a future impairment charge for the remaining assets. The total assets at Conga were $896 at September 30, 2023.

On June 7, 2023, the National Union of Mine and Metal Workers of the Mexican Republic (the "Union") notified the Company of a strike action. In response to the strike notice, the Company suspended operations at Peñasquito. Operations remained suspended throughout the third quarter of 2023. On October 13, 2023, the Company reached a definitive agreement with the Union that also received approval from the Mexican Labor Court. Per the agreement, the Company will pay Peñasquito workers a fixed amount equivalent to approximately 60% of wages for the duration of the strike, and an additional bonus of two months’ wages to be paid out in the second quarter of 2024 if, as a consequence of the strike, the Peñasquito mine reports no profit in 2023. Additionally, as a part of a separate annual negotiation under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Company agreed to an annual salary increase of 8% effective as of August 1, 2023, which is in line with the Mexican mining industry wage increases for 2023. Operations at Peñasquito will resume in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Federal Laws

Inflation Reduction Act

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") into law. The IRA introduced an excise tax on stock repurchases of 1% of the fair market value of stock repurchases net of stock issued during the tax year and a corporate alternative minimum tax (the "Corporate AMT") of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1 billion over a three-year period. The excise tax on stock repurchases is effective on net stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022 and the Corporate AMT is effective for tax periods beginning in fiscal year 2023. While waiting on pending Department of Treasury regulatory guidance, the Company is continuing to monitor developments. Based upon information known to date, the IRA had no material impact on the Company's current consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on future consolidated financial statements, disclosures, or cash flows.

Effects of Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, ASU No. 2020-04 was issued which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. In January 2021, ASU No. 2021-01 was

NEWMONT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

issued which broadened the scope of ASU No. 2020-04 to include certain derivative instruments. In December 2022, ASU No. 2022-06 was issued which deferred the sunset date of ASU No. 2020-04. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company has completed its review of key contracts and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company will continue to review new contracts to identify references to the LIBOR and implement adequate fallback provisions if not already implemented to mitigate the risks or impacts from the transition.

NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by Newmont’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). In January 2023, Newmont reassessed and revised its operating strategies and the accountabilities of the senior leadership team in light of the continuing volatile and uncertain market conditions. Following these changes, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM. As a result, the Company determined that its reportable segments were each of its 12 mining operations and its 38.5% interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM"), which is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. Segment results for the prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.

In the following tables, Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not reflect general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income and mining taxes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance. The Company's business activities and operating segments that are not considered reportable, including all equity method investments, are reported in Corporate and Other, which has been provided for reconciliation purposes.

The financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows:

NOTE 5 RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various domestic and international 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 to protect public health and the 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 and remediation costs are based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements.

____________________________

(1)A Monte Carlo valuation model is used for the fair value measurement of the Batu Hijau contingent consideration asset. All other contingent consideration assets are valued using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow where the significant input is the discount rate.

(2)The weighted average discount rate used to calculate the Company’s contingent consideration assets and liabilities is 11.87% and 6.47%, respectively, at September 30, 2023 and 11.86% and 6.07%, respectively, at December 31, 2022. Various other inputs including, but not limited to, metal prices and production profiles were considered in determining the fair value of the individual contingent consideration assets and liabilities.

(3)At December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment charge on the long-lived assets at CC&V, which resulted in a remaining long-lived asset balance of $25. The impairment was determined using the income approach and included the following significant inputs (i) updated cash flow information from the Company's business and closure plans at December 31, 2022, (ii) a short-term gold price of $1,750, (iii) a long-term gold price of $1,600, (iv) current estimates of reserves, resources, and exploration potential, and (v) a country specific pre-tax discount rate of 6.75%. The Company performed a nonrecurring fair value measurement and estimated the fair value of the remaining asset balance using a market-based approach based on the appraised value in an assumed sale to a third-party market participant.

The following tables set forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s recurring Level 3 financial assets and liabilities:

The fixed forward contracts were transacted for risk management purposes. The Company has designated the fixed forward contracts as foreign currency cash flow hedges against the forecasted AUD-denominated Tanami Expansion 2 capital expenditures.

To minimize credit risk, the Company only enters into transactions with counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. The Company believes that the risk of counterparty default is low and its exposure to credit risk is minimal. The unrealized changes in fair value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. If the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the related amounts will be reclassified to earnings immediately. For the foreign currency cash flow hedges related to the Tanami Expansion 2 project, amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings through Depreciation and amortization after the project reaches commercial production. For the foreign currency cash flow hedges related to the CAD-denominated and AUD-denominated operating expenditures, amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales in the month that the operating expenditures are incurred.

The following table provides the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:

Equity method investments

Income (loss) from the Company's equity method investments is recognized in Equity income (loss) of affiliates, which primarily consists of income from the Pueblo Viejo mine of $10 and $26 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $46 and $84 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income from the Pueblo Viejo mine was lower in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to lower ore grades processed due to mine sequencing, as well as lower mill throughput and lower mill recovery associated with the commissioning of the mill expansion project.

Pueblo Viejo

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding shareholder loans to Pueblo Viejo of $403 and $356, with accrued interest of $5 and $8, respectively, included in the Pueblo Viejo equity method investment. Additionally, the Company has an unfunded commitment to Pueblo Viejo in the form of a revolving loan facility ("Revolving Facility"). There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2023.

The Company purchases its portion (40%) of gold and silver produced from Pueblo Viejo at market price and resells those ounces to third parties. Total payments made to Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchased were $105 and $326 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Total payments made to Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchased were $146 and $413 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. These purchases, net of subsequent sales, are included in Other income (loss), net and the net amount is immaterial. There were no amounts due to or from Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchases as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Maverix Metals, Inc.

In January 2023, Triple Flag acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Maverix, resulting in Newmont holding a 7.5% ownership interest in the combined company. Prior to close, Newmont held 28.5% of Maverix’s outstanding common shares. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold all of its common shares in Triple Flag. As a result, a net gain of $36 was recognized in the first quarter of 2023, which is included in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Environmental Matters

Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain significant matters are discussed below.

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 100% Newmont Owned

In 2015 and further modified in 2017 the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, the Ministry of the Environment (“MINAM”), issued modifications to water quality standards for designated beneficial uses which modified the in-stream water quality criteria pursuant to which Yanacocha has been designing water treatment processes and infrastructure. These Peruvian regulations allow time for companies to formulate a compliance plan and make any necessary changes to achieve compliance.

In February 2017, Yanacocha submitted a modification to its previously approved compliance achievement plan to the MINEM. The Company did not receive a response or comments to this submission until April 2021. During this interim period, Yanacocha separately submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") modification considering the ongoing operations and the projects to be developed and obtained authorization from MINEM for such projects. This authorization included a deadline for compliance with the modified water quality criteria by January 2024. In May 2022, Yanacocha submitted a proposed modification to this plan requesting an extension of time for coming into full compliance with the new regulations in 2027. In June 2023, Yanacocha received approval of its updated compliance plan from MINEM and was granted an extension of time to June 2026 to achieve compliance. The Company has presented a legal recourse requesting the regulatory extension until 2027.

The Company currently operates five water treatment plants at Yanacocha that have been and currently meet all currently applicable water discharge requirements. The Company is conducting detailed studies to better estimate water management and other closure activities that will ensure water quality and quantity discharge requirements, including the modifications promulgated by MINAM, as referenced above, will be met. This also includes performing a comprehensive update to the Yanacocha reclamation plan to address changes in closure activities and estimated closure costs while preserving optionality for potential future projects at Yanacocha. These ongoing studies, which will extend beyond the current year, continue to evaluate and revise assumptions and estimated costs of changes to the reclamation plan. While certain estimated costs remain subject to revision, the Company’s current asset retirement obligation includes plans for the construction and post-closure management of two new water treatment plants and initial consideration of known risks (including the associated risk that these water treatment estimates could change in the future as more work is completed). The ultimate construction costs of the two water treatment plants remain highly uncertain as ongoing study work and assessment of opportunities that incorporates the latest design considerations remain in progress. These and other additional risks and contingencies that are the subject of ongoing studies, including, but not limited to, a comprehensive review of the Company's tailings storage facility management, review of Yanacocha’s water balance and storm water management system, and review of post-closure management costs, could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Yanacocha.

Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC - 100% Newmont Owned

In December 2021, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC (“CC&V”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into a Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the “Division”) with a mutual objective of resolving issues associated with the new discharge permits issued by the Division in January 2021 for the historic Carlton Tunnel. The Carlton Tunnel was a historic tunnel completed in 1941 with the purpose of draining the southern portion of the mining district, subsequently consolidated by CC&V. CC&V has held discharge permits for the Carlton Tunnel since 1983, but the January 2021 permit updates contained new water quality limits. The Settlement Agreement involves the installation of interim passive water treatment and ongoing monitoring over the next three years, and then more long-term water treatment installed with target compliance by November 2027. In 2022, the Company studied various interim passive water treatment options, reported the study results to the Division, and based on an evaluation of additional semi-passive options that involve the usage of power at the portal, updated the remediation liability to $20. CC&V continues to study alternative long-term remediation plans for water discharged from the Carlton Tunnel, and as such, a compliance extension request was submitted in July 2023 to allow additional time for proper assessment of treatment alternatives. The Company is also working with regulators on the Discharger Specific Variance to identify highest feasible alternative treatment in the context, based on limits such as area topography. Depending on the plans that may ultimately be agreed with the Division, a material adjustment to the remediation liability may be required.

Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 58.19% Newmont Owned

Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the EPA.

As per the Consent Decree approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington on January 17, 2012, the following actions were required of Newmont, Dawn, the Department of the Interior and the EPA: (i) Newmont and Dawn would design, construct and implement the cleanup plan selected by the EPA in 2006 for the Midnite mine site; (ii) Newmont and Dawn would reimburse the EPA for its past costs associated with overseeing the work; (iii) the Department of the Interior would contribute a lump sum amount toward past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site; (iv) Newmont and Dawn would be

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

responsible for all future EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site.

During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process, with the exception of the new WTP design which was awaiting the approval of the new NPDES permit. Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and the WTP design commenced in 2018. The EPA completed their assessment and approval of the WTP design in 2021 and Newmont has selected contractors for the construction of the new water treatment plant and effluent pipeline. Construction of the effluent pipeline began in 2021, and construction of the new WTP began in 2022.

The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health (the "WDOH") and is in the process of being closed in accordance with the federal Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act, and associated Washington state regulations. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The Tailing Disposal Area 1-4 reclamation earthworks component was completed during 2017 with the embankment erosion protection completed in the second quarter of 2018. The remaining closure activities consist primarily of finalizing an Alternative Concentration Limit application (the "ACL application") submitted in 2020 to the WDOH to address groundwater issues, and also evaporating the remaining balance of process water at the site. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the WDOH provided comments on the ACL application, which Newmont is evaluating and conducting studies to better understand and respond to the comments provided by the WDOH. These studies and the related comment process will extend beyond the current year and could result in future material increases to the remediation obligation.

The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $212, assumed 100% by Newmont, at September 30, 2023.

Goldcorp Canada Ltd. - 100% Newmont Owned

Porcupine mine site. The Porcupine complex is comprised of active open pit and underground mining operations as well as inactive, legacy sites from its extensive history of mining gold in and around the city of Timmins, Ontario since the early 1900s. As a result of these primarily historic mining activities, there are mine hazards in the area that could require some form of reclamation. The Company is conducting studies to better catalog, prioritize, and update its existing information of these historical mine hazards, to inform its closure plans and estimated closure costs. These studies will extend beyond the current year and could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Porcupine.

Other Legal Matters

Newmont Corporation, as well as Newmont Canada Corporation, and Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC – 100% Newmont Owned

Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., which was acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited in 2022 (still referred to herein as “Kirkland” for ease of reference), owns certain mining and mineral rights in northeastern Ontario, Canada, referred to here as the Holt-McDermott property, on which it suspended operations in April 2020. A subsidiary of the Company has a retained royalty obligation (“Holt royalty obligation”) to Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”) for production on the Holt-McDermott property. In August 2020, the Company and Kirkland signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Kirkland Agreement”). As part of the Kirkland Agreement, the Company purchased an option (the “Holt option”) for $75 from Kirkland for the mining and mineral rights subject to the Holt royalty obligation. The Company has the right to exercise the Holt option and acquire ownership to the mineral interests subject to the Holt royalty obligation in the event Kirkland intends to resume operations and process material subject to the obligation. Kirkland has the right to assume the Company’s Holt royalty obligation at any time, in which case the Holt option would terminate.

On August 16, 2021, International Royalty Corporation (“IRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Gold, filed an action in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia against Newmont Corporation, Newmont Canada Corporation, Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC (collectively "Newmont"), and certain Kirkland defendants (collectively "Kirkland"). IRC alleges the Kirkland Agreement is oppressive to the interests of Royal Gold under the Nova Scotia Companies Act and the Canada Business Corporations Act, and that, by entering into the Kirkland Agreement, Newmont breached its contractual obligations to Royal Gold. IRC seeks declaratory relief, and $350 in alleged royalty payments that it claims Newmont expected to pay under the Holt royalty obligation, but for the Kirkland Agreement. Kirkland filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case against it, which the court granted in October 2022. Newmont submitted its statement of defense on February 27, 2023. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

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 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

NEWMONT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced 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 the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.

On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1,200. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont, along with the other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss based on delay on November 29, 2022. On August 22, 2023, the Court granted the motion and dismissed the Ontario complaint for delay. NWG filed an appeal with the Court of Appeal for Ontario on September 21, 2023. Newmont intends to vigorously defend the appeal but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Newmont Ghana Gold Limited and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited - 100% Newmont Owned

On December 24, 2018, two individual plaintiffs, who are members of the Ghana Parliament (“Plaintiffs”), filed a writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. On January 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the Statement of Plaintiff’s Case outlining the details of the Plaintiff’s case and subsequently served Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (“NGGL”) and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (“NGRL”) along with the other named defendants, the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana and 33 other mining companies with interests in Ghana. The Plaintiffs allege that under article 268 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the mining company defendants are not entitled to carry out any exploitation of minerals or other natural resources in Ghana, unless their respective transactions, contracts or concessions are ratified or exempted from ratification by the Parliament of Ghana. Newmont’s current mining leases are both ratified by Parliament; NGGL June 13, 2001 mining lease, ratified by Parliament on October 21, 2008, and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease; ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliamentary ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliamentary ratification; (iii) a declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent; and (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all un-ratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business.

Refer to the discussion of Risk and Uncertainties within Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as well as the Consolidated Financial Results, Results of Consolidated Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Non-GAAP Financial Measures sections presented below, for information about the continued impacts from the geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures including recent turmoil in the banking sector, inflation, effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company announced the deferral of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru, currently estimated to occur in 2026. With the delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project, management will focus its efforts on optimizing its allocation of funds to current operations and other capital commitments, while continuing to assess execution and project plan options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

We continue to focus on improving safety and efficiency at our operations, maintaining leading ESG practices, and sustaining our global portfolio of longer-life, lower cost mines to generate the financial flexibility we need to strategically reinvest in the business, strengthen the Company’s investment-grade balance sheet and return cash to shareholders.

On June 7, 2023, the National Union of Mine and Metal Workers of the Mexican Republic (the "Union") notified the Company of a strike action. In response to the strike notice, the Company's operations at Peñasquito remained suspended throughout the third quarter of 2023. On October 13, 2023, the Company reached an agreement with the Union and operations at Peñasquito are expected to resume in the fourth quarter of 2023. Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

On May 14, 2023 (May 15, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time), the Company and Newmont Overseas Holding Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary company listed by shares and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont ("Newmont Sub"), entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (as amended from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”) with Newcrest Mining Limited ("Newcrest") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Newcrest in a stock transaction, by way of an Australian court-approved Scheme of Arrangement (the “Scheme”, and such acquisition, the “Newcrest Transaction”). On October 11, 2023 and October 12, 2023 (October 13, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time), the Newmont and Newcrest shareholders approved the Newcrest Transaction, respectively, which was then subsequently approved by the Australian court on October 16, 2023 (October 17, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time). As previously announced, the transaction has received all of the government and regulatory approvals necessary for the transaction to proceed and is expected to be implemented in November 2023. Refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In January 2023, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by Newmont’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and determined that its reportable segments were each of its 12 mining operations and its 38.5% interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM"), which is accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. Segment results for the prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments. Refer to Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In February 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Buenaventura's 43.65% noncontrolling interest in Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. ("Yanacocha") and sold its 46.94% ownership interest in Minera La Zanja S.R.L. ("La Zanja"). Additionally, in June 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 5% interest held by Sumitomo in exchange for cash consideration of $48, resulting in the Company obtaining 100% ownership interest in Yanacocha. Refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding these transactions.

Consolidated Financial Results

The details of our Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders are set forth below:

Three Months Ended September 30,Increase (Decrease)
20232022
Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders$157$218$(61)
Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders per common share, diluted$0.20$0.28$(0.08)

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders per common share, diluted$0.82$1.30$(0.48)

The decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily due to a decrease in Sales at Peñasquito as a result of the work stoppage due to a labor strike that began in June 2023 ("Peñasquito labor strike"), resulting in no sales at Peñasquito in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease is also the result of higher Reclamation and Remediation, partially offset by higher average realized prices for gold and copper and lower Costs applicable to sales. See below for further information on the change in Costs applicable to sales.

The decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily due to a decrease in Sales resulting from lower sales volumes for all metals except copper, largely as a result of (i) the Peñasquito labor strike; (ii) lower production at Akyem to re-sequence the mine plan and temporarily suspend mining in the main pit to make safety improvements and fortify the catch berms above the haul road into the pit; and (iii) lower production at Tanami due to significant rainfall and flooding in the Northern Territory and surrounding areas in early 2023, which resulted in transportation route closures into the mine ("Tanami rainfall event"). As a result of the Tanami rainfall event, processing operations were paused for the majority of February 2023. During this time, mining operations continued, and ore was stockpiled and in late February, transportation routes were reopened, and processing operations were resumed. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company received insurance proceeds, primarily recognized in Other income, net, as a result of this event. Refer to Note 7 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Additionally, the decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is also the result of higher Reclamation and Remediation and higher income tax expense, partially offset by higher average realized prices for gold, silver and copper, lower Costs applicable to sales, lower Depreciation and amortization, a non-cash pension settlement charge recognized in 2022, and the net gain recognized on the sale of the Triple Flag Precious Metals Corporation ("Triple Flag") investment, acquired during the first quarter of 2023 in exchange for the previously held Maverix Metals Inc. ("Maverix") investment, compared to the loss on the sale of the La Zanja equity method investment in 2022. See below for further information on the change in Costs applicable to sales and Depreciation and amortization.

The details and analyses of our Sales for all periods presented are set forth below. Refer to Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The decrease in Costs applicable to sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, is primarily due to the Peñasquito labor strike, which contributed to a decrease in Costs applicable to sales of $209 and $391, respectively, at Peñasquito.

The decrease in Costs applicable to sales during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was further impacted by a decrease in production at Ahafo as a result of a build-up of inventory in the current year compared to a drawdown in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in Costs applicable to sales during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, at Boddington primarily due to higher contracted services costs and higher mill maintenance costs, at Yanacocha as a result of higher contracted service costs, and at Merian primarily due to a drawdown of inventory in the current year compared to a build-up in the prior year.

The decrease in Costs applicable to sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was further impacted by (i) the profit-sharing agreement entered into by the Company during the second quarter of 2022 (the "Peñasquito Profit-Sharing Agreement"), which resulted in charges incurred in 2022 relating to 2021 site performance; and (ii) lower production at Akyem to re-sequence the mine plan and temporarily suspend mining in the main pit to make safety improvements and fortify the catch berms above the haul road into the pit, which resulted in lower royalties and lower energy and equipment maintenance costs. The decrease in Costs applicable to sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was offset by (i) higher maintenance costs at NGM, Musselwhite, Éléonore and Tanami; (ii) higher energy costs due to inflation at NGM; and (iii) higher materials, labor, and contracted service costs at Cerro Negro, Musselwhite, and Éléonore resulting from higher cost inputs.

For discussion regarding other significant drivers impacting Costs applicable to sales by site, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The decrease to Depreciation and amortization during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, is primarily due to (i) lower sales and production volume at Peñasquito as a result of the Peñasquito labor strike

and (ii) a decrease in the depreciable asset base at CC&V resulting from the impairment charge recognized during the fourth quarter of 2022. Additionally, the decrease in Depreciation and amortization during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is due to lower depreciation at NGM due to lower leach pad production at Long Canyon as a result of the ramp down of mining and lower amortization rates at Carlin as a result of a longer mill life, partially offset by higher Depreciation and amortization at Ahafo and Porcupine due to asset additions.

For discussion regarding other significant drivers impacting Depreciation and amortization by site, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

For discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Operations below.

Advanced projects, research and development expense was $53 and $80 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $132 and $169 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022 is primarily due to (i) higher commitment fee payments in 2022 on the strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc. ("CAT") relating to the Company's climate change initiatives, (ii) lower project spend relating to certain Cerro Negro expansion projects and Galore Creek in Corporate and Other, and (iii) lower full potential spend at various sites.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $73 and $96 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $449 and $343 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors and the comparability of our income tax expense for the reported periods will be primarily affected by (i) variations in our income before income taxes; (ii) geographic distribution of that income; (iii) impacts of the changes in tax law; (iv) valuation allowances on tax assets; (v) percentage depletion; (vi) fluctuation in the value of the USD and foreign currencies; and (vii) the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result, the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, year to year. This trend is expected to continue in future periods. Refer to Note 8 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") into law. The IRA introduced an excise tax on stock repurchases of 1% and a corporate alternative minimum tax (the "Corporate AMT") of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1 billion over a three-year period. The IRA is effective for fiscal periods beginning 2023. While waiting on pending Department of Treasury regulatory guidance, we are continuing to monitor developments. Based upon information known to date, the IRA has no material impact in the current consolidated financial statements, disclosures, or cash flows. Further, it is not anticipated to have a material impact to future consolidated financial statements, disclosures, or cash flows. Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Refer to the Notes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for explanations of other financial statement line items.

Results of Consolidated Operations

Newmont has developed gold equivalent ounces ("GEO") metrics to provide a comparable basis for analysis and understanding of our operations and performance related to copper, silver, lead and zinc. Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced or sold multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price, using the metal prices in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc production based on USD metal prices. Therefore, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not have a material impact on our revenue. Despite selling gold and silver in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.

Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies, including the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol, the Surinamese dollar, and the Ghanaian cedi. Approximately 46% and 48% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the USD during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Australian dollar19%18%
Canadian dollar14%14%
Mexican peso4%8%
Argentine peso5%5%
Peruvian sol2%2%
Surinamese dollar2%1%
Ghanaian cedi—%—%

Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales by $82 and $79 per ounce during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, respectively, primarily in Argentina.

Our Cerro Negro mine, located in Argentina, is a USD functional currency entity. Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy. In recent years, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency, including requiring the Company to convert USD proceeds from metal sales to local currency within 60 days from shipment date or five business days from receipt of cash, whichever happens first, as well as restricting payments to foreign-related entities denominated in foreign currency, such as dividends or distributions to the parent and related companies and royalties and other payments to foreign beneficiaries. These restrictions directly impact Cerro Negro's ability to repay intercompany debt to the Company. We continue to monitor the foreign currency exposure risk and the limitations of repatriating cash to the U.S. Currently, these currency controls are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Our Merian mine, located in the country of Suriname, is a USD functional currency entity. Suriname has experienced significant inflation over the last three years and is a highly inflationary economy. In 2021, the Central Bank took steps to stabilize the local currency, while the government introduced new legislation to narrow the gap between government revenues and spending. The measures to increase government revenue mainly consist of tax increases; however, Newmont and the Republic of Suriname have a Mineral Agreement in place that supersedes such measures. Despite steps taken by the Central Bank, the Surinamese Dollar has continued to devalue. The majority of Merian’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation of the Surinamese dollar has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation of the Surinamese dollar is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

We have a disciplined capital allocation strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and generate long-term value for our shareholders. Consistent with that strategy, we aim to self-fund development projects and make strategic partnerships focused on profitable growth, while reducing our debt and returning cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The Company continues to experience the impacts from geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting volatile environment, we continue to monitor inflationary conditions, the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, and the potential for further supply chain disruptions, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of these events, or changes in commodity prices, the prices for gold and other metals, and foreign exchange rates, we could continue to experience volatility; transportation industry disruptions could continue, including limitations on shipping produced metals; our supply chain could continue to experience disruption; cost inflation rates could further increase; or we could incur credit related losses of certain financial assets, which could materially impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

As of September 30, 2023, we believe our available liquidity allows us to manage the short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts of these events on our business. Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on risks and uncertainties.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had $3,190 in Cash and cash equivalents. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in a variety of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Our Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid and low-risk investments that are available to fund our operations as necessary. We may have investments in prime money market funds that are classified as cash and cash equivalents; however, we continually monitor the need for reclassification under the SEC requirements for money market funds, and the potential that the shares of such funds could have a net asset value of less than their par value. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.

At September 30, 2023, $1,529 of Cash and cash equivalents was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in USD denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to USD. Cash and cash equivalents denominated in Argentine peso are subject to regulatory restrictions. Refer to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates above for further information. At September 30, 2023, $1,173 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. We expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with the withholding taxes.

We believe our existing consolidated Cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, available capacity on our revolving credit facility, and cash generated from continuing operations will be adequate to satisfy working capital needs, fund future growth, meet debt obligations and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 2023, our borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility was $3,000 and we had no borrowings outstanding. We continue to remain compliant with covenants and do not currently anticipate any events or circumstances that would impact our ability to access funds available on this facility.

Our financial position was as follows:

____________________________

(1)Time deposits are included in Time deposits and other investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 11 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

(2)Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to evaluate financial flexibility and strength of the Company's balance sheet. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $2,138 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease in cash provided of $50 from the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to lower Sales as a result of the Peñasquito labor strike in 2023, partially offset by higher average realized prices for gold and copper.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(753) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease in cash used of $1,504 from the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the maturity of all time deposits with an original maturity of more than three months but less than one year in 2023, the sale of the Triple Flag investment in 2023, and the payment to Buenaventura relating to the sale of the La Zanja equity method investment in 2022, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in 2023.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(1,065) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease in cash used of $812 from the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to lower dividend payments in 2023, the acquisition of noncontrolling interest in Yanacocha in 2022, and higher net repayments of debt in 2022.

Capital Resources

In October 2023, the Board declared a dividend of $0.40 per share, determined under the dividend framework. This framework is non-binding and is periodically reviewed and reassessed by the Board of Directors. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains at the full discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

On October 11, 2023 and October 12, 2023 (October 13, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time), the Newmont and Newcrest shareholders approved the Newcrest Transaction, respectively, which was then subsequently approved by the Australian court on October 16, 2023 (October 17, 2023 Australian Eastern Daylight Time). As previously announced, the transaction has received all of the government and regulatory approvals necessary for the transaction to proceed and is expected to be implemented in November 2023. Refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Capital Expenditures

Cash generated from operations is used to execute our capital priorities, which include sustaining and developing our global portfolio of long-lived assets. Our near-term development capital projects include Tanami Expansion 2 and Ahafo North, which are being funded from existing liquidity and will continue to be funded from future operating cash flows. Additionally, on September 30, 2023, the San Marcos deposit achieved commercial production, the first of six ore bodies in the Cerro Negro expansion projects.

We consider 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 non-sustaining or development capital. The Company’s decision to reprioritize, sell or abandon a development project, which may include returning mining concessions to host governments, could result in a future impairment charge.

Additionally, as part of our ESG initiatives, in November 2021, Newmont announced a strategic alliance with CAT and pledged a preliminary investment of $100 with the aim to develop and implement a comprehensive all-electric autonomous mining system to achieve zero emissions mining. Newmont has paid $39, all of which occurred in 2022, and the remaining pledged amount is anticipated to be paid as certain milestones are reached through 2025. Payments are recognized in Advanced projects, research and development within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other investments supporting our climate change initiatives are expected to include emissions reduction projects and renewable energy opportunities as we seek to achieve these climate targets. For risks related to climate-related capital expenditures, see Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.

For additional information on our capital expenditures, refer to Part II, Item 7, Liquidity and Capital Resources of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had Additions to property, plant and mine development, inclusive of capitalized interest, as follows:

Debt

Debt and Corporate Revolving Credit Facilities. There were no material changes to our debt and corporate revolving credit facilities since December 31, 2022. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for information regarding our debt and corporate revolving credit facilities.

In April 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to amend certain terms of the existing $3,000 revolving credit agreement dated April 4, 2019, as amended by the first amendment dated as of March 30, 2021. The Second Amendment provides for the replacement of LIBOR-based rates with SOFR-based rates. Debt covenants under the Second Amendment are substantially the same as the existing credit agreement.

Debt Covenants. There were no material changes to our debt covenants. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for information regarding our debt covenants. At September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all existing debt covenants and provisions related to potential defaults.

Supplemental Guarantor Information. The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as amended, which enables us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, our debt securities may be guaranteed by Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), one of our consolidated subsidiaries (Newmont, as issuer, and Newmont USA, as guarantor, are collectively referred to here-within as the “Obligor Group”). These guarantees are full and unconditional, and none of our other subsidiaries guarantee any security issued and outstanding. The cash provided by operations of the Obligor Group, and all of its subsidiaries, is available to satisfy debt repayments as they become due, and there are no material restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from subsidiaries by dividend, loan, or otherwise, except to the extent of any rights of noncontrolling interests or regulatory restrictions limiting repatriation of cash. Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests were $186 and $179 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. All noncontrolling interests relate to non-guarantor subsidiaries. For further information on our noncontrolling interests, refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Newmont and Newmont USA are primarily holding companies with no material operations, sources of income or assets other than equity interest in their subsidiaries and intercompany receivables or payables. Newmont USA’s primary investments are comprised of its 100% interest in Yanacocha and its 38.5% interest in NGM. For further information regarding these and our other operations, refer to Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Results of Consolidated Operations within Part I, Item 2, MD&A.

In addition to equity interests in subsidiaries, the Obligor Group’s balance sheets consisted primarily of the following intercompany assets, intercompany liabilities and external debt. The remaining assets and liabilities of the Obligor Group are considered immaterial at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

At September 30, 2023At December 31, 2022
Obligor GroupNewmont USAObligor GroupNewmont USA
Current intercompany assets$12,192$7,819$13,982$5,815
Non-current intercompany assets$527$513$520$506
Current intercompany liabilities$13,519$3,486$13,118$1,907
Non-current external debt$5,569$—$5,564$—

Newmont USA's subsidiary guarantees (the “subsidiary guarantees”) are general unsecured senior obligations of Newmont USA and rank equal in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of Newmont USA's future subordinated indebtedness. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont USA to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

At September 30, 2023, Newmont USA had approximately $5,569 of consolidated indebtedness (including guaranteed debt), all of which relates to the guarantees of indebtedness of Newmont.

Under the terms of the subsidiary guarantees, holders of Newmont’s securities subject to such subsidiary guarantees will not be required to exercise their remedies against Newmont before they proceed directly against Newmont USA.

Newmont USA will be released and relieved from all its obligations under the subsidiary guarantees in certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of a majority of the total voting power of the capital stock or other interests of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates);

  • upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Newmont USA (other than to Newmont or any of Newmont’s affiliates); or

  • upon such time as Newmont USA ceases to guarantee more than $75 aggregate principal amount of Newmont’s debt (at September 30, 2023, Newmont USA guaranteed $600 aggregate principal amount of debt of Newmont that did not contain a similar fall-away provision).

Newmont’s debt securities are effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Newmont to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries. At September 30, 2023, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $6,087, none of which was secured (other than $512 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $4,952 of total liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany and external debt and reclamation and remediation liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to Newmont’s debt securities.

For further information on our debt, refer to Note 14 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2023, there have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2022. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023, for information regarding our contractual obligations.

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. We perform a comprehensive review of our reclamation and remediation liabilities annually and review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly.

For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our reclamation obligations and the associated risks, refer to Part II, Item 7, Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the headings Environmental and “Critical Accounting Estimates” and refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023.

Our sustainability strategy is a foundational element in achieving our purpose to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining. Sustainability and safety are integrated into the business at all levels of the organization through our global policies, standards, strategies, business plans and remuneration plans. For additional information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, refer to Notes 5 and 18 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part II, Item 7 within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023 for further information on the non-GAAP financial measures presented below, including why management believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors.
