2. Cautionary Statement
Cautionary statement regarding forward looking statements, including outlook:
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other
applicable laws. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: (i) estimates of future production and sales; (ii) estimates of future
costs applicable to sales and all-in sustaining costs; (iii) estimates of future capital expenditures and development capital; (iv) plans and
expectations relating to savings, reductions in costs and expenditures, efficiency improvements and optimization; (v) expectations relating to
decisions regarding future exploration, expansion or development projects; (vi) expectations regarding the development, growth and upside potential
of operations and projects, including, without limitation, mine plans, ramp-up, first production, anticipated strip ratios, recovery rate and other project
metrics; (vii) expectations regarding the future receipt of approvals, permits and licenses, including, without limitation, export approvals; (viii)
expectations regarding the out-coming of ongoing negotiations, including, without limitation, with respect to the Contract of Work, and (ix)
expectations regarding financial flexibility, project funding, cash retention, free cash flow and portfolio optimization. Forward-looking statements often
include words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes" and words and terms of similar substance in
connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance. Estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon
certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i) there being no significant change to
current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii) permitting, development, operations and expansion of the
Company’s projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans; (iii) political developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company
operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) certain exchange rate assumptions for the Australian dollar to the U.S. dollar, as well as
other the exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, copper and oil; (vi) prices for key
supplies being approximately consistent with current levels; and (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates.
Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith
and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual
results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the “forward-looking statements.” Such risks include, but are not
limited to, gold and other metals price volatility, currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from
those assumed in mining plans, political and operational risks, community relations, conflict resolution and outcome of projects or oppositions and
governmental regulation and judicial outcomes. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company’s 2013 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 21, 2014, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as the Company’s other SEC
filings. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any “forward-looking statement,” including, without limitation,
outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be
required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued “forward-looking statement”
constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on “forward-looking statements” is at investors' own risk.

inflation, increasing nationalism and activism, aging mines and declining grades
• Gold demand forecasted to grow by ~25% by 2017 in China
• Longer-term investment demand expected to strengthen due to robust central bank
demand, consumer demand growth in China and low interest rates

36. Chinese consumption to spur copper demand*
Electric power consumption – China vs. Copper price expectations
developed world
• China accounts for over 40 percent of global copper demand; the power sector represents
nearly half of Chinese demand and is a key driver to copper prices over the longer term
• The average Chinese citizen uses:
– less than one-third the amount of electricity a South Korean citizen uses; and
– 25 percent of what the average person in the United States consumes

37. Adjusted net income
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:

40. All-in sustaining costs
Newmont has worked 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 our mining operations related to
expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from operations.
Current GAAP-measures used in the mining 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 producers and in the investor’s visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.
All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) 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, policies applied and in accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”), or by reflecting the benefit from selling non-gold metals as a reduction to AISC. Differences may also arise related to definitional differences of sustaining versus development capital
activities based upon each company’s internal policies.
The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining Newmont’s All-in sustaining costs measure:
Cost Applicable to Sales - Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current production incurred to execute the current mine plan. Costs Applicable to Sales (“CAS”) includes by-product credits from certain
metals obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. CAS is accounted for on an accrual basis and excludes Amortization and Reclamation and remediation, which is
consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In determining All-in sustaining costs, only the CAS associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold or a
pound of copper is included in the measure. Therefore, the amount of CAS included in AISC is derived from the CAS presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The allocation
of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington, and Batu Hijau mines is based upon the relative production percentage of copper and gold sold during the period.
Remediation Costs - Includes accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) for the Company’s operating properties
recorded as an ARC asset. Accretion related to ARO and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation and remediation do not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation and remediation associated with current gold production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold
and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington, and Batu Hijau mines.
Advanced Projects and Exploration - Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to increase or enhance current gold production and gold exploration. We note that as current resources are
depleted, exploration and advance projects are necessary for us to replace the depleting reserves or enhance the recovery and processing of the current reserves. As this relates to sustaining our gold
production, and is considered a continuing cost of a mining company, these costs are included in the AISC measure. These costs are derived from the Advanced projects, research and development and
Exploration amounts presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the
allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington, and Batu Hijau mines.
General and Administrative - Includes cost related to administrative tasks not directly related to current gold production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfilling our obligations to
operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce
basis.
Other Expense, net - Includes costs related to regional administration and community development to support current production. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses from Other expense, net,
such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net
income (loss) as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the
allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington, and Batu Hijau mines.
Treatment and Refining Costs - Includes costs paid to smelters for treatment and refining of our concentrates to produce the salable precious metal. These costs are presented net as a reduction of Sales.
Sustaining Capital - We determined sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current gold 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 gold production or reserves, are considered development. We determined the breakout of sustaining and
development capital costs based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital costs are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the
Company’s current gold operations and provide improved transparency related to our ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined
using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington, and Batu Hijau mines.

Investors are encouraged to read the information contained in this presentation in conjunction with the following notes, the Cautionary Statement on slide 2 and the
factors described under the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2014, and disclosure in the
Company’s recent SEC filings including the Form 10-Q.
1. AISC or All-in sustaining cost is a non-GAAP metric. See pages 40 to 42 for more information and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP metric.
2. Adj. Net Income is a non-GAAP metric. See page 37 for more information and reconciliation to the nearest GAAP metric.
3. 2014 and 2014 - 2016 Outlook projections used in this presentation (“Outlook”) are considered “forward-looking statements” and represent management’s good faith
estimates or expectations as October 30, 2014. However, Outlook is based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain
exchange rates and other assumptions (including, without limitation, those set forth on slide 2). For example, 2014 Outlook assumes $1,200/oz Au, $3.00/lb Cu, $0.95
USD/AUD exchange rate and $100/barrel WTI ; 2015 Outlook assumes $1,200/oz Au, $2.75/lb Cu, $0.90 USD/AUD exchange rate and $100/barrel WTI; and 2016
Outlook assumes $1,200/oz Au, $2.75/lb Cu, $0.90 USD/AUD exchange rate and $100/barrel WTI and other assumptions. Such assumptions may prove to be incorrect
and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Consequently, Outlook cannot be guaranteed. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue
reliance upon Outlook and forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur.
4. Adjusted cash AISC is a non-GAAP metric and is calculated as gold and copper all-in sustaining cost less net realizable value (NRV), Batu related abnormal costs, and
adjusted for the sales of Midas and Jundee. See slide 43 for details.
5. The project metrics presented for the Merian project are based upon management’s reasonable good faith belief as of the date of this presentation and are presented on
a consolidated basis. The listed project metrics constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties.
6. Reserves at Merian (as of December 31, 2013 on a 100% consolidated basis) were estimated at 108,250 ktonnes of Probable Reserves, grading 1.22 gpt for 4.2Moz,
using a $1,300/oz gold price assumption. Resources at Merian (as of December 31, 2013 on a 100% consolidated basis and using a $1,400/oz gold price assumption)
were 750 kounces of Measured and Indicated resources, comprised of Measured resources of approximately 77 kounces (2,400 ktonnes, at 0.98 grams per tonne) and
Indicated resources of approximately 677 kounces (20,500 ktonnes, at 1.03 grams per tonne). Inferred resources totaled approximately 926 kounces (26,800 ktonnes, at
1.07 grams per tonne). U.S. investors are reminded that “reserves” were prepared in compliance with Industry Guide 7 published by the U.S. SEC. Whereas, the terms
“resources,” “Measured and Indicated resources” and Inferred resources” are not SEC recognized terms. Newmont has determined that such “resources” would be
substantively the same as those prepared using the Guidelines established by the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration and defined as “Mineral Resource”.
Estimates of resources are subject to further exploration and development, are subject to additional risks, and no assurance can be given that they will eventually convert
to future reserves. Inferred Resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. Investors are
cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Mineral inventory is also subject to an even greater
degree of uncertainty. Investors are reminded that even if significant mineralization is discovered and converted to reserves, during the time necessary to ultimately move
such mineralization to production the economic feasibility of production may change. See the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 21, 2014 for the
“Proven and Probable Reserve” tables prepared in compliance with the SEC’s Industry Guide 7. Investors are reminded that the tables presented in the Annual Report
are estimates as of December 31, 2013 and were presented on an attributable basis reflecting the Company’s ownership interest at such time. The company presently
holds a 75% equity interest in the Merian project as a result of the government of Suriname recent opt-in.

7. All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) as used in the Company’s Outlook is a non-GAAP metric defined as the sum of cost applicable to sales (including all direct and indirect
costs related to current gold production incurred to execute on the current mine plan), remediation costs (including operating accretion and amortization of asset
retirement costs), G&A, exploration expense, advanced projects and R&D, treatment and refining costs, other expense, net of one-time adjustments and sustaining
capital.
8. Investors are reminded that the negotiation of the amendment to the Contract of Work contemplated by the MoU remains on-going. Continued future operations at
Batu Hijau are subject to various factors, including, without limitation, the successful renegotiation of the Contract of Work, issuance of future export permits and
approvals following the expiration of the six-month permit, negotiations with the labor union, future in-country smelting availability and regulations relating to export
quotas, and certain other factors. For a discussion of other factors which could impact future financial performance and operating results at Batu Hijau, see Item 1A,
under the heading “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Form 10-K, filed on February 21, 2014, as well as Note 2 under the heading “Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies - Risks and Uncertainties” of the Notes to the Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q, filed on or about October 30, 2014.
