Third Quarter 2022 Highlights (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
•Net income: Reported Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $218 or $0.28 per diluted share, an increase of $226 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to the Loss on assets held for sale in 2021 related to the Conga mill assets, lower income tax expense and a gain on the change in fair value of marketable and other equity securities compared to a loss in the prior period, partially offset by lower realized metal prices and sales volumes, and higher Costs applicable to sales predominately resulting from impacts due to cost inflation.
•Adjusted net income: Reported Adjusted net income of $212 or $0.27 per diluted share, a decrease of $0.33 per diluted share from the prior-year quarter (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
•Adjusted EBITDA: Reported $850 in Adjusted EBITDA, a decrease of 35% from the prior-year quarter (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
•Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations of $2,188, a decrease of 26% from the prior year, and free cash flow of $703 (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis).
•ESG: Published inaugural Taxes and Royalties Contribution Report in August 2022, providing an overview of the Company's tax strategy and economic contributions as part of its commitment to shared value creation.
•Global Project Pipeline: Delayed the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru due to challenging market conditions with the intent to focus funds on current operations and other capital commitments while management assesses execution options and project plans.
•Attributable production: Produced 1.5 million attributable ounces of gold and 299 thousand attributable gold equivalent ounces from co-products.
•Financial position: Ended the quarter with $3.1 billion of consolidated cash, $653 million of time deposits with a maturity of more than three months but less than one year, and $6.7 billion of liquidity; declared a dividend of $0.55 per share in October 2022.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights (dollars in millions, except per common share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
•Net income: Reported Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders as they were antidilutive. of $153 or $0.19 per diluted share, a decrease of $226 from the prior-year quarter primarily due to a decrease in Sales resulting largely from lower gold sales volumes, which includes the impacts arising from (i) work stoppage at Peñasquito for the month of June 2023 due to a labor strike 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. Additionally, the decreasewas the result of higher income tax expense, partially offset by lower Costs applicable to sales, a decrease in unrealized losses on marketable equity securities, and lower Depreciation and amortization.
•Adjusted net income: Reported Adjusted net income of $266 or $0.33 per diluted share, a decrease of $0.13 per diluted share from the prior-year quarter (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).
•Adjusted EBITDA: Reported $910 in Adjusted EBITDA, a decrease of 21% from the prior-year quarter (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).
•Cash Flow: Reported Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations of $1,137, a decrease of 34% from the prior year, and free cash flow of $(5) (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures within Part I, Item 2, MD&A).
•ESG: Published 3rd annual climate report in May 2023 providing a view on how the Company understands and is addressing climate change from managing physical and transition climate risk, to climate impacts and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
•Attributable gold production: Produced 1.2 million attributable ounces of gold and 256 thousand attributable gold equivalent ounces from co-products.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Risks and Uncertainties
The continuedCompany continues to experience the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine,geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting significant inflation experienced globally, as well asvolatile environment, the Company continues to monitor inflationary conditions, the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, have been and are expectedthe potential for further supply chain disruptions relating to continue to adversely affect the Company. Although the Company does not currently have operations in Ukraine, Russia or other parts of Europe, impacts arising from Russia’sRussian invasion of Ukraine includeand the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as an uncertain and evolving labor market. Additionally, in early 2023 the banking industry experienced adversity including bank failures, take-overs, and entrance into receivership or insolvency, amongst other events. While the Company has not experienced any impacts from these recent events, further instability in the banking system could put the liquidity of Newmont and third parties with which we do business at risk. The Company maintains strict adherence to its cash investment policies which focus on highly rated investments and capital preservation mechanisms to achieve the Company’s ability to complete the sale of assets currently classified as held for sale within one year as originally planned. In addition, thesestrategic objectives.
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.
In light of these challenging conditions, the Company is currently evaluating the implications to its long-term business plans, and, as a result, is actively monitoring the risk of potential impairment to certain assets. Specifically, the Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and annually at December 31 of each year. The estimated cash flows utilized in both the long-lived assets and goodwill impairment evaluations are derived from the Company’s current business plans, which are developed using short-term price forecasts reflective of the current price environment and management’s projections for long-term metal prices and other economic assumptions, which are currently undergoing annual revision. Significant adverse changes in expected long-term cash flows caused by prolonged or otherwise unmitigated increases in operating or capital costs, or declines in anticipated production are considered indicators of impairment at certain mine sites. The adverse changes in market conditions, including inflationary pressures to costs and capital, coupled with the ongoing strategic evaluation regarding the use of capital, could have a negative impact on the Company’s updated business plans, which, along with potential asset retirement cost updates, may result in material long-lived asset or goodwill impairment charges. While the Company’s business plan and annual asset retirement cost updates remain in process and subject to change, and include ongoing assessments of price forecasts, operating and capital costs, evaluation of possible cost mitigation actions, project economics and capital allocation considerations, management has identified certain assets whose recoverability is most sensitive to these factors including: (i) the long-lived assets of CC&V with a carrying value of approximately $470 at September 30, 2022, inclusive of approximately $60 related to the temporarily idled mill processing facility which plans remain under review for future utilization and mine operation, and (ii) goodwill recorded within the Porcupine and Cerro Negro reporting units, with a carrying value of approximately $340 and $460, respectively, at September 30, 2022. Refer to the ”Our long-lived assets and goodwill could become impaired, which could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations” risk factor included in Part 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022 for further information.
Additionally, as further response to the current market conditions, record inflation rates, the rising prices for commodities and raw materials, prolonged supply chain disruptions, competitive labor markets, and consideration of capital allocation, in the third quarter of 2022June 2023, the Company announced the delaydeferral of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru. WhilePeru for at least two years to the Company has extended the timelinesecond half of the full-funds decision, assessment of the project remains a priority in Peru as the Company continues to advance engineering and long-term procurement activities.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 our 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, 2022, the Yanacocha operations have total long-lived assets of approximately $890, inclusive of approximately $447 of assets under construction related to Yanacocha Sulfides. Refer also to our risk factor 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 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022 for further information.

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 June 30, 2023, the Yanacocha operations have total long-lived assets of approximately $1,110, inclusive of approximately $744 of assets under construction related to Yanacocha Sulfides. Refer also to our 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;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 long-lived assets at Conga aswere $897 at June 30, 2023.
On June 7, 2023, the National Union of September 30, 2022 was approximately $900.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 has suspended operations at Peñasquito. As of the date of this report filing, operations have not resumed and the Company is in ongoing discussions with the Union.
The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impacts to its business plans, asset retirement cost updates, operations, estimated capital expenditures and timing of other key development projects related to the current and ongoing inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions. Depending on the duration and extent of COVID-19, ongoing global developments and increasing inflationary pressures,conditions, 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 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 1718 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, 20212022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022.23, 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.
Time Deposits and Other Investments
The Company's time deposits and other investments primarily include time deposits with an original maturity of more than three months but less than one year. These time deposits are carried at amortized cost. Accrued interest is recorded in Other income (loss), net.

NEWMONT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, dollars in 2011 when Newmont completed a restructure of the shareholding in the Company’s Australian subsidiaries. To date, the Company has responded to inquiries from the ATOmillions, except per share, per ounce and provided them with supporting documentation for the transaction and the Company’s associated tax positions. One aspect of the ATO review relates to an Australian capital gains tax that applies to sales or transfers of stock in certain types of entities. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the ATO notified the Company that it believes the 2011 reorganization is subject to capital gains tax of approximately $85 (including interest and penalties). The Company disputes this conclusion and intends to vigorously defend its position that the transaction is not subject to this tax. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made a $24 payment to the ATO and lodged an Appeal with the Australian Federal Court to preserve its right to contest the ATO conclusions on this matter. The Company reflects this payment as a receivable as it believes that it will ultimately prevail in this dispute. The Company and the ATO continue to provide support to the Court for their respective positions and the Company continues to monitor the status of the ATO’s submissions and the status of the Court proceedings which the Company currently expects to continue throughout 2023.per pound amounts)
In the third quarter of 2022, the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos ("AFIP") in Argentina notified the Company that it completed the 2016 transfer pricing review. The AFIP has questioned the Company’s treatment of intercompany loans and believes they should be akin to capital contributions. These intercompany loans are still in place. The Company disputes this position and continues to believe that the financing meets the qualifications of bona fide debt and intends to vigorously defend this position. To date, no final audit report or assessment has been provided by the AFIP. The matter will be closely monitored and evaluated as more information becomes available.

In October 2022, the Company entered into A$574 of AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD-denominated capital expenditures expected to be incurred in 2023 and 2024 during the construction and development phase of the Tanami Expansion 2 project. 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.

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 100% Newmont Owned
In early 2015, and again in June 2017, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, the Ministry of the Environment (“MINAM”), issued proposed modifications to water quality criteria for designated beneficial uses which apply to mining companies, including Yanacocha. These criteria modified the in-stream water quality criteria pursuant to which Yanacocha has been designing water treatment processes and infrastructure. In December 2015, MINAM issued the final regulation that modified the water quality standards. These Peruvian regulations allow time 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 by Januaryin 2027. In the event thatJune 2023, Yanacocha received approval of its updated compliance plan from MINEM does not grant Yanacochaand was granted an extension of time to June 2026 to achieve compliance. The Company is currently discussing with MINEM the previously authorized timelinerequest for and agree to, the updated compliance achievement plan, fines and penalties relating to noncompliance may result beyond January 2024.

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 at December 31, 2021 included updates primarily toincludes plans for the expected construction and post-closure management of two new water treatment plants a related increase in the annual operating costs over the extended closure period, 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). However, theseThe 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, could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Yanacocha, including, but not limited to, the impact of inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions on existing cost estimates, 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. The ongoing studies, which are progressing in 2022, are intended to evaluate and further understand these risks and determine what, if any, additional modification may be required to the reclamation plan. The Company expects these studies to extend beyond the current year, and as a result, the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impacts these risks, if realized, may have on the reclamation obligation as of September 30, 2022.
In conjunction with the Company’s annual update process for all asset retirement obligations, the Company expects to record an adjustment to the Yanacocha reclamation liability in the fourth quarter of 2022 based on engineering progress for the water treatment plants. As related engineering activities have progressed, we are currently evaluating certain estimates for impacts of further design considerations, recent inflation and supply chain disruptions on the estimated construction costs, for the water treatment plants as well as post-closure management costs. These potential changes are currently undergoing review and remain subject to significant revision, but if confirmed, could result in afuture material increase inincreases to the reclamation obligation at Yanacocha in the fourth quarter of 2022 with a corresponding non-cash charge to reclamation expense related to operations no longer in production.
Yanacocha experienced heavy rainfall in early 2022, above average historical levels, which resulted in significant water balance stress and required active emergency management. Yanacocha has been in communication with Organismo Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental (“OEFA”), under MINAM, and local government regarding the emergency measures undertaken and contingency planning. Yanacocha was able to prevent any offsite release of untreated water, but did need to accumulate untreated water in mine pits. If accumulation in pits or other emergency measures are deemed a violation of existing permits, it could result in fines and penalties for unauthorized discharge. Such fines and penalties, if ultimately assessed, are currently unknown and otherwise cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Extended periods of rainfall, more extreme storm events or increased overall rainfall beyond historical or planned levels may also result in flooding or stress of mine pits and maintenance and storage facilities (e.g., tailings water), unpermitted off-site discharges, delays to planned study work, increased cost related to water infrastructure adjustments and potential negative impacts to permitting and operations.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 new permits contained new water quality limits. The Settlement Agreement once implemented through permit modification applications, would involveinvolves 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.

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 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 a lump sum payment of $42, which Newmont classified as restricted assets.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 will consist primarily of finalizing an Alternative Concentration Limit application (the "ACL application") submitted in 2020 to the Washington Department of HealthWDOH 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 $151,$178, assumed 100% by Newmont, at SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.

Other Legal Matters
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 100% Newmont Owned
Administrative Actions. The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts periodic reviews of the Yanacocha site. From 2011 to the third quarter of 2021, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. The water authority that is in charge of supervising the proper water administration has also issued notices of alleged regulatory violations in previous years. The experience with OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the outcome rather than a significant fine. There are no current alleged OEFA violations and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 10 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.001110 based on current exchange rates, with a total potential fine amount for outstanding matters of $— to $0.01. Yanacocha is responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.
Conga Project Constitutional Claim. On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of the Conga project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA. On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: (i) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; (ii) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; (iii) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment; and (iv) the directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha has answered the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.

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.
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. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

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.

The increasedecrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, compared to the same period in 2021,2022, is primarily due to thea decrease in Loss on assets held for saleSales resulting largely from lower gold sales volumes, which includes the impacts arising from (i) work stoppage at Peñasquito for the month of June 2023 due to a labor strike ("Peñasquito labor strike") and (ii) lower production at Akyem to re-sequence the mine plan and temporarily suspend mining in 2021 relatedthe main pit to make safety improvements and fortify the Conga mill assets, lowercatch berms above the haul road into the pit. Additionally, the decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders was the result of higher income tax expense, and a gain on the change in fair value of marketable and other equity securities compared to a loss in the prior period, partially offset by lower realized metal prices and sales volumes, and higher Costs applicable to sales predominately resulting from impacts due, a decrease in unrealized losses on marketable equity securities, and lower Depreciation and amortization. See below for further information on the change in Costs applicable to cost inflation.sales and Depreciation and amortization.
The decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholdersfor the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, compared to the same period in 2021,2022, 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, 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. The Company is working with its insurers related to the business interruption that resulted from this event.
Additionally, the decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is also the result of higher income tax expense, partially offset by higher average realized prices for gold and silver, a non-cash pension settlement charge recognized in 2022, lower Depreciation and amortization, lower Costs applicable to sales predominately resulting from cost inflation impacts, and charges relatedthe 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 profit-sharing agreement entered into by the Company (the "Peñasquito Profit-Sharing Agreement") largely associated with 2021 site performance, lower sales volumes, a non-cash pension settlement charge and the loss on the sale of the La Zanja equity method investment partially offset by the Loss on assets heldin 2022. See below for sale in 2021 related to the Conga mill assets, lower income tax expense, higher realized gold prices and change in fair value of marketable and other equity securities.

The increasedecrease in Costs applicable to sales during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, compared to the same periods in 2021,2022, is primarily due to (i) impacts arising from the significant inflation experienced globally including increasesprofit-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; (ii) the Peñasquito labor strike, which resulted in lower energy, materials and contracted services costs supply chain disruption,at Peñasquito; (iii) lower production at Akyem to re-sequence the mine plan and an increasetemporarily suspend mining in commodity inputs, including higher fuelthe 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 prices and (ii) higher inventory adjustments at NGM,equipment maintenance costs; and (iv) lower direct costs related to overall lower sales volumes, partially offset by lower sales volumes. The increasehigher underground maintenance costs and higher power costs at Tanami resulting from higher natural gas prices.
Additionally, the decrease in Costs applicable to sales during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, compared to the same period in 2021,2022, is alsofurther offset by (i) higher maintenance costs at NGM, Éléonore, and Cerro Negro; (ii) higher energy costs due to the Peñasquito Profit-Sharing Agreement.inflation at NGM; and (iii) higher materials and contracted service costs at Cerro Negro resulting from inflation.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $96$163 and $222, and $343 and $798$33 during the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 2021,$376 and $247 during the six months ended June 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.

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 Canadian dollar, the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol, the Surinamese dollar, and the Ghanaian cedi. Approximately 54%48% and 49% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the USD during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, respectively, as follows:

Our Cerro Negro mine, located in Argentina, is a USD functional currency entity. Argentina has been consideredis a hyperinflationary environment with a cumulative inflation rate of over 100% for the last three years.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 pay principal portions ofrepay 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 hasis 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. TheDespite steps taken by the Central Bank, of Suriname adopted a controlled floating rate system, which resulted in a concurrent devaluation of the Surinamese dollar.Dollar has continued to devalue. The majority of Merian’s activity has historically been denominated in USD due to whichUSD; as a result, the devaluation or depreciation of the Surinamese dollar has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation or depreciation 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 cashcapital 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 continuedCompany continues to experience the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine,geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. With the resulting significant inflation experienced globally, as well asvolatile environment, we continue to monitor inflationary conditions, the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks, have been and are expected to continue to adversely affect the Company.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, and 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 the Company’sour results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In early 2023, the banking industry experienced adversity in which certain banks encountered failures, take-overs, and entrance into receivership or insolvency, amongst other events. Further instability in the banking system could put the liquidity of Newmont and third parties with which we do business at risk. The Company maintains strict adherence to its cash investment policies which focus on highly rated investments and capital preservation mechanisms to achieve our strategic objectives.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the Company had $3,058$2,829 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. During the third quarter of 2022,At June 30, 2023, the Company began investinghad
$374 in time deposits with a maturity of more than three months but less than one year, and at September 30, 2022, the Company had $653 of these time deposits,which are included in Time deposits and other investments. Our Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022, $1,4502023, $1,062 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 Pesopeso are subject to regulatory restrictions. SeeRefer to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates above for further information. At SeptemberJune 30, 2022, $1,0412023, $814 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, 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.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $2,188$1,137 during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, a decrease in cash provided of $779$585 from the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, primarily due to a decrease in sales resulting from lower sales volumes for all metals except for copper, an increase in operating cash expenditures resulting from the impacts arising from the significant inflation experienced globally; payments related to (i) the Peñasquito Profit-Sharing Agreement, (ii) previously accrued employee severance resulting fromglobally, and a recent changebuildup of inventory compared to the employment model changesame period in Ghana,2022, partially offset by higher average realized prices for gold and (iii) our strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc.

Capital Resources
In October 2022,July 2023, the Board declared a dividend of $0.55$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.
No share repurchases on the authorized program occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
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, and meeting our 2030 and 2050 carbon commitments. For example, totalassets. Our near-term development capital spend on theprojects include Tanami Expansion 2 and Ahafo North, project, which received full funding approval from the Board of Directors in July 2021, is expected to beare being funded from existing liquidity and will continue to be funded from future operating cash flows.
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.
The Company continues to evaluate strategic priorities and deployment of capital to projects in the pipeline to ensure we execute on our capital priorities and provide long-term value to shareholders. Included in the Company's continuous evaluation is consideration of current market opportunities or pressures. In response to the current challenging market conditions, which include inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, in the third quarter of 2022 the Company announced the delay of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru. Refer to Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
In 2020, we announced climate targets to reduce GHG emissions and plans to significantly invest in climate change initiatives in support of this goal, which may be capital in nature. AsAdditionally, as part of theseour 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. To support the alliance, Newmont pledged a preliminary investment of $100,has paid $39, all of which $34 has beenoccurred in 2022, and the remaining pledged amount is anticipated to be paid as of September 30, 2022 and iscertain milestones are reached through 2025. Payments are recognized in Advanced projects, research and development within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations,Operations.
Other investments supporting our climate change initiatives are expected to CAT in connectioninclude emissions reduction projects and renewable energy opportunities as we seek to achieve these climate targets.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, Newmont USA had approximately $5,562$5,567 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $6,127,$6,111, none of which was secured (other than $558$537 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $5,004$4,968 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.

Net Debt
Management uses Net Debt to measure the Company’s liquidity and financial position. Net Debt is calculated as Debt and Lease and other financing obligations less Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits included in Time deposits and other investments, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits are subtracted from Debt and Lease and other financing obligations as these are highly liquid, low-risk investments and could be used to reduce the Company's debt obligations. The Company believes the use of Net Debt allows investors and others to evaluate financial flexibility and strength of the Company's balance sheet. Net Debt is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt and Lease and other financing obligations, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to Net Debt.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the USD; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability; and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper, silver, lead and zinc also affect our profitability and cash flow. These metals are traded on established international exchanges and prices generally reflect market supply and demand but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Decreases in the market price of metals can also significantly affect the value of our product inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value, as well as significantly impact our carrying value of
long-lived assets and goodwill. Refer to Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 for information regarding the sensitivity of our impairment analyses over long-lived assets and goodwill to changes in metal price.
Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of our stockpiles, leach pads and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates.
The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad and product inventory adjustments for each mine site reporting unit at SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation and short-term and long-term assumptions as follows:
| | | Short-Term | | Long-Term | | Short-Term | | Long-Term |
| Gold price (per ounce) | Gold price (per ounce) | $ | 1,729 | | | $ | 1,600 | | Gold price (per ounce) | $ | 1,976 | | | $ | 1,600 | |
| Copper price (per pound) | Copper price (per pound) | $ | 3.51 | | | $ | 3.50 | | Copper price (per pound) | $ | 3.84 | | | $ | 3.50 | |
| Silver price (per ounce) | Silver price (per ounce) | $ | 19.23 | | | $ | 20.00 | | Silver price (per ounce) | $ | 24.13 | | | $ | 20.00 | |
| Lead price (per pound) | Lead price (per pound) | $ | 0.90 | | | $ | 1.05 | | Lead price (per pound) | $ | 0.96 | | | $ | 1.05 | |
| Zinc price (per pound) | Zinc price (per pound) | $ | 1.48 | | | $ | 1.30 | | Zinc price (per pound) | $ | 1.15 | | | $ | 1.30 | |
| USD to AUD exchange rate | $ | 0.68 | | | $ | 0.75 | | |
| USD to CAD exchange rate | $ | 0.77 | | | $ | 0.80 | | |
| USD to MXN exchange rate | $ | 0.05 | | | $ | 0.04 | | |
| USD to ARP exchange rate | $ | 0.01 | | | $ | 0.004 | | |
| AUD to USD exchange rate | | AUD to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.67 | | | $ | 0.75 | |
| CAD to USD exchange rate | | CAD to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.75 | | | $ | 0.80 | |
| MXN to USD exchange rate | | MXN to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.06 | | | $ | 0.04 | |
The net realizable value measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. As discussed in Note 2 and Note 12 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, future write-downs to the Company's stockpile, leach pad and product inventories is a potential risk in light of the current challenging market conditions, including but not limited to, significant inflation experienced globally.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk related to the fair value of our senior notes which consist of fixed rates. For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but not our earnings or cash flows. The terms of our fixed rate debt obligations do not generally allow investors to demand payment of these obligations prior to maturity. Therefore, we do not have significant exposure to interest rate risk for our fixed rate debt; however, we do have exposure to fair value risk if we repurchase or exchange long-term debt prior to maturity which could be material. See Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information pertaining to the fair value of our fixed rate debt.
Foreign Currency
In addition to our operations in the U.S., we have significant operations and/or assets in Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia and Ghana. All of our operations sell their gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc production based on USD metal prices. Foreign currency exchange rates can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as supply and demand for foreign and U.S. currencies and U.S. and foreign country economic conditions. Fluctuations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the USD can increase or decrease profit margins, capital expenditures, cash flow and Costs applicable to sales per ounce/ pound to the extent costs are paid in local currency at foreign operations.
We performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact to Costs applicable to sales per ounce arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement to local currency exchange rates at June 30, 2023 in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement would result in an approximate $66 increase to Costs applicable to sales per ounce at June 30, 2023.
Hedging
In May 2023, the Company entered into C$348 of CAD-denominated and A$648 of AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the CAD-denominated and AUD-denominated operating expenditures expected to be incurred in 2023 included in the Company's operations located in Canada and Australia, respectively. The Company has designated the fixed forward contracts as foreign currency cash flow hedges against the forecasted CAD-denominated and AUD-denominated operating expenditures.
In October 2022, the Company entered into A$574 of AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts to mitigate variability in the USD functional cash flows related to the AUD-denominated capital expenditures expected to be incurred in 2023 and 2024 during the construction and development phase of the Tanami Expansion 2 project. The Company has designated the forward contracts as foreign currency cash flow hedges against the forecasted AUD-denominated Tanami Expansion 2 capital expenditures.
By using hedges, we are affected by market risk, credit risk, and market liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or be subject to any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2023, using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the AUD and CAD foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The analysis covered all of our AUD and CAD-denominated fixed forward contracts. The foreign currency exchange rates we used in performing the sensitivity analysis were based on AUD and CAD market rates in effect at June 30, 2023. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates would result in an approximate decrease in the fair value of the hedging derivative instruments of $81 at June 30, 2023.
Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties.
Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.
Commodity Price Exposure
Our provisional concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the respective metal concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is not designated for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
We perform an analysis on the provisional concentrate sales to determine the potential impact to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for each 10% change to the average price on the provisional concentrate sales subject to final pricing over the next several months. Refer below for our analysis as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 1718 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There were no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Business; Item 1A, Risk Factors ofin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023, except as set forth below.
Risks Related to the Jurisdictions in Which We Operate.
Our Peñasquito operation in Mexico is subject to social, political, regulatory, and economic risks.
Our Peñasquito operation has in the past, and may in the future, be affected significantly and adversely by social, political, regulatory, or economic developments in Mexico. A wide range of general and industry-specific Mexican federal and state environmental laws and regulations apply to our operations. These laws and regulations are often difficult and costly to comply with and carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. For example, in the State of Zacatecas, Mexico, environmental taxes became effective in 2017 with little clarity on how the taxes are to be calculated. An ecological tax agreement was ratified in 2021 which provides clarity for 2021 to 2024, after which, the Company, along with other companies in the State of Zacatecas, will need to engage with governmental authorities to understand how the environmental tax would be levied year-over-year. Additionally, in May 2023, the Mexican government published several amendments to laws relating to the country's mining industry, which includes changes to Mexico's Mining Law, National Waters Law, General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection and General Law for the Prevention and Integral Handling of Wastes (“Mining Reform”). The risks describedMining Reform is expected to add significant uncertainty for foreign investors in Mexico and companies operating in the mining sector, including Newmont. As a result of the Mining Reform, we expect that it will be more difficult for us to access/maintain rights to land and water, thereby negatively impacting our mining activities within Mexico, raising concerns around exploration programs, security of concessions, and out of cycle community negotiations. If political and regulatory trends continue in a manner that is increasingly less supportive of mining, it can have an adverse impact on our operations and financial results.
Production at our Peñasquito operation is dependent upon the efforts of our employees and, consequently, our maintenance of good relationships with our employees. In recent years, we have had several disputes with the National Union of Mine and Metal Workers of the Mexican Republic (“the Union”). Following negotiations in 2022, Newmont and the Union reached a Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”) in June 2022 whereby Union represented workforce will participate in uncapped profit-sharing bonus up to 10%, which resulted in increased labor costs. In June 2023, the Union made claims regarding violations of legal regulations and labor agreements (which the Company refuted) and notified the Company of a strike action demanding an increase in the uncapped profit-sharing benefit provided for in the CBA from 10 percent to 20 percent, representing a 100 percent increase. The Company urged the Union to abide by the mutually agreed CBA and engaged in dialogue with the Union and the government, but the disagreement remains unresolved. In response to the strike notice, Minera Peñasquito suspended operations and the related shut down remains ongoing. A failure to successfully resolve ongoing union complaints could result in continuation of work stoppages and/or other future disruptions in production and labor issues that could adversely affect our operations and financial performance and our ability to achieve expected results and guidance. See also the Risk Factor under the heading “Our business depends on good relations with our employees” in our Annual Reportrecent Form 10-K.
A deterioration in Mexico’s economy, social instability, political unrest, or other adverse social developments in Mexico could also adversely affect operating results at Peñasquito, as well as the safety and hereinsecurity of the site and workforce. For example, in recent years, Mexico has experienced a period of increasing criminal activity, primarily due to the activities of drug cartels and related criminal organizations, including in the State of Zacatecas. Any increase in the level of violence or a concentration of violence near or around the Peñasquito mine could have an adverse effect on operating results. See the Risk Factor under the heading “Civil disturbances and criminal activities can disrupt business and expose the Company to liability” in our Form 10-K for additional information. See the most recent Form 10-K under Part 1, Item 1A – Risk Factors for additional information regarding risks relating to Mexico, including, without limitation, related to changes in law and increased regulation, increases in requests from government and local stakeholders, taxes, currency and exchange rate exposure, carbon tax and energy costs, availability of energy and water, and other factors.
Risks Relating to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction
As disclosed in this Form 10-Q, including in Part I, Item 1 "Financial statements- Note 1 Basis of Presentation" and Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview,” on May 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed (the "Transaction Agreement") to acquire all issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Newcrest in a stock transaction pursuant to a court-approved Scheme of Arrangement between Newcrest and its shareholders (the “Scheme”, and such acquisition, the “Proposed Newcrest Transaction”). There can be no assurance that the Proposed Newcrest
Transaction will be completed as expected, in a timely manner or at all. The Proposed Newcrest Transaction could subject us to significant risks, including those described below.
The Proposed Newcrest Transaction is subject to satisfaction or waiver of several conditions.
The Proposed Newcrest Transaction is conditional upon, among other things, approval of the issuance of Newmont common stock to Newcrest shareholders in exchange for their Newcrest ordinary shares pursuant to the Transaction Agreement by Newmont’s stockholders, approval of the Scheme by Newcrest shareholders and by the Federal Court of Australia and Newmont and Newcrest having obtained certain regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, approval of competition or antitrust and/or foreign investment authorities in Australia, Canada, and Papua New Guinea. There can be no assurance that any or all such approvals will be obtained or will be obtained in a timely manner.
The Transaction Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances.
Each of Newmont and Newcrest has the right to terminate the Transaction Agreement in certain circumstances. For instance, either party may terminate the Transaction Agreement if there is or may be a failure of a condition precedent to be satisfied in accordance with its terms and Newmont and Newcrest are unable to agree on a revision to the terms of the Scheme after such failure of the condition precedent of the Scheme has not become effective by 11:59 pm (Melbourne, Australia time) on February 15, 2024. Failure to complete the only risks facing us. Additional risksProposed Newcrest Transaction could negatively impact the trading price of our common stock or otherwise adversely affect Newmont’s business.
If the Proposed Newcrest Transaction is not completed as a result of, among other reasons, a change in recommendation by a member of our Board of Directors or a material breach of certain terms of the Transaction Agreement by us or there is a competing transaction for us announced and uncertaintieswithin 18 months we complete such competing transaction, we will be required to pay a termination fee of approximately $375 to Newcrest in connection with the termination of the Transaction Agreement. If the termination fee is ultimately required to be paid to Newcrest, the payment of such fee will have an adverse impact on our financial results.
We will incur significant transaction and transaction-related costs in connection with the Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with the Proposed Newcrest Transaction and combining the operations of the two companies. Our fees and expenses related to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction include financial advisors’ fees, filing fees, taxes, legal and accounting fees, soliciting fees and regulatory fees, some of which will be paid regardless of whether the Proposed Newcrest Transaction is completed. Furthermore, we will incur costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies. However, it is difficult to predict the amount of these costs before we begin the integration process. We may incur additional unanticipated costs as a consequence of difficulties arising from efforts to integrate the companies.
The market price of shares of our common stock may be adversely affected as a result of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
On completion of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, a significant number of additional shares of our common stock will be issued and available for trading in the public market. The increase in the number of shares of our common stock may lead to sales of such shares or the perception that such sales may occur (commonly referred to as “market overhang”), either of which may adversely affect the market for, and the market price of, shares of our common stock.
In addition, if the Proposed Newcrest Transaction is not completed, the market price of shares of our common stock could decline to the extent that it reflects an assumption that the Proposed Newcrest Transaction will be completed or is material to our business strategy.
We do not currently knowncontrol Newcrest and its subsidiaries.
We will not control Newcrest and its subsidiaries until completion of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction and the business and results of operations of Newcrest may be adversely affected by events that are outside of our control during the intervening period. The performance of Newcrest may be influenced by, among other factors, economic downturns, changes in commodity prices, political instability in the countries in which Newcrest operates, changes in applicable laws, expropriation, increased environmental regulation, volatility in the financial markets, unfavorable regulatory decisions, litigation, rising costs, civic and labor unrest, disagreements with joint venture partners, delays in ongoing exploration and development projects and other factors beyond our control. As a result of any one or more of these factors, among others, the operations and financial performance of Newcrest may be negatively affected, which may adversely affect the future financial results of the combined company.
Newcrest and Newmont may be the targets of legal claims, securities class actions, derivative lawsuits and other claims and negative publicity related to usthe Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
Newcrest and Newmont may be the target of securities class actions and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Proposed Newcrest Transaction. Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often
brought against companies that we currently deemhave entered into an agreement to acquire a public company or to be immaterialacquired. Third parties may also materiallyattempt to bring claims against Newmont or Newcrest seeking to restrain the Proposed Newcrest Transaction or seeking monetary compensation or other remedies. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
In addition, political and public attitudes towards the Proposed Newcrest Transaction could result in negative press coverage and other adverse public statements affecting Newmont and Newcrest. Adverse press coverage and other adverse statements could lead to investigations by regulators, legislators and law enforcement officials or in legal claims or otherwise negatively impact the ability of the combined company to take advantage of various business and market opportunities. The direct and indirect effects of negative publicity, and the demands of responding to and addressing it, may have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction and the integration of Newcrest may not occur as planned.
The Proposed Newcrest Transaction has been agreed with the expectation that its completion will result in an increase in sustained profitability, cost savings and enhanced growth opportunities for the combined company. These anticipated benefits will depend in part on whether Newcrest’s and Newmont’s operations can be integrated in an efficient and effective manner. A significant number of operational and strategic decisions and certain staffing decisions with respect to integration of the two companies have not yet been made. These decisions and the integration of the two companies will present challenges to management, including the integration of systems and personnel of the two companies which may be geographically separated, anticipated and unanticipated liabilities, unanticipated costs (including substantial capital expenditures required by the integration) and the loss of key employees.
The performance of the combined company’s operations after completion of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction could be adversely affected if, among other things, the combined company is not able to achieve the anticipated savings and synergies expected to be realized in entering the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, or retain key employees to assist in the integration and operation of Newcrest and Newmont. The consummation of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction may pose special risks, including one-time write-offs, restructuring charges and unanticipated costs. In addition, the integration process could result in diversion of the attention of management and disruption of existing relationships with suppliers, employees, customers and other constituencies of each company. Although Newmont and its advisors have conducted due diligence on the operations of Newcrest, there can be no guarantee that Newmont is aware of any and all liabilities of Newcrest. As a result of these factors, it is possible that certain benefits expected from the combination of Newcrest and Newmont may not be realized.
Newcrest’s public filings are subject to Australian disclosure standards, which differ from SEC disclosure requirements.
Our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates have been prepared in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC. We have not been involved in the preparation of Newcrest’s mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates. Newcrest’s mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates were prepared to meet the reporting requirements of the ASX Listing Rules Chapter 5, December 2019; the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, December 2012 (the “JORC Code”), which differs from the requirements of Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K.
Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K and the JORC Code have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, the terms “Ore Reserve” and “Proved Ore Reserve” are Australian mining terms as defined in the JORC Code, and these definitions differ from the definitions in Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to the existence of such resources and their economic and legal feasibility. A significant amount of exploration must be completed in order to determine whether an inferred mineral resource may be upgraded to a higher category. Under Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K standards, a pre-feasibility study, as defined within the rule, is typically required to report mineral reserves supported by a discounted cash flow analysis. The requirements for a pre-feasibility study under Subpart 1300 are generally stricter than what is acceptable under JORC and could require reclassification of previously declared mineral reserves to mineral resources, and there may also be adjustments to the amounts of previously declared mineral resources pending further study work.
Expectations regarding the mineral reserves and mineral resources of Newmont and Newcrest following the closing of the Proposed Transaction will remain subject to adjustment, pending continuing review of Newcrest’s mineral reserves and mineral resources in accordance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K standards. Future adjustment may occur due to differing standards, required study levels, price assumptions, future divestments and acquisitions and other factors.
The combined company will face political risks in new jurisdictions.
Newcrest’s principal operations, development and exploration activities and significant investments will expose us to new jurisdictions, including Papua New Guinea, Ecuador and Fiji, some of which may be considered to have an increased degree of political and sovereign risk. Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of such countries or any other country that Newcrest has economic interests in may affect the viability and profitability of the combined company following the Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
While the governments in Papua New Guinea, Ecuador and Fiji have historically supported the development of natural resources by foreign companies, there is no assurance that such governments will not in the future adopt different regulations, policies or interpretations with respect to, but not limited to, foreign ownership of mineral resources, royalty rates, taxation, rates of exchange, environmental protection, labor relations, repatriation of income or return of capital, restrictions on production or processing, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, or the obligations of Newcrest under its respective mining codes and stability conventions. The possibility that such governments may adopt substantially different policies or interpretations, which might extend to the expropriation of assets, may have a material adverse effect on the combined company following the Proposed Newcrest Transaction. Political risk also includes the possibility of terrorism, civil or labor disturbances and political instability. No assurance can be given that applicable governments will not revoke or significantly alter the conditions of the applicable exploration and mining authorizations, nor can assurance be given that such exploration and mining authorizations will not be challenged or impugned by third parties. The effect of any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Increased exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and capital controls may adversely affect the combined company’s earnings and the value of the combined company’s assets.
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the majority of our earnings and cash flows are denominated in U.S. dollars. The operations of Newcrest are also conducted in U.S. dollars, but Newcrest conducts some of its business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as a result, following the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, the combined company’s consolidated earnings and cash flows may be impacted by movements in the exchange rates to a greater extent than prior to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction. In particular, any change in the value of the currencies of the Australian Dollar, the Papua New Guinean Kina, the Canadian Dollar, the Chilean Peso or the Fijian Dollar versus the U.S. dollar following the Proposed Newcrest Transaction could negatively impact the combined company’s earnings, and could negatively impact the combined company’s ability to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
In addition, from time to time, emerging market countries such as those in which the combined company will operate adopt measures to restrict the availability of the local currency or the repatriation of capital across borders. These measures are imposed by governments or central banks, in some cases during times of economic instability, to prevent the removal of capital or the sudden devaluation of local currencies or to maintain in-country foreign currency reserves. In addition, many emerging markets countries require consents or reporting processes before local currency earnings can be converted into U.S. dollars or other currencies and/or such earnings can be repatriated or otherwise transferred outside of the operating jurisdiction. These measures may have a number of negative effects on the combined company, reduction of the immediately available capital that the combined company could otherwise deploy for investment opportunities or the payment of expenses. In addition, measures that restrict the availability of the local currency or impose a requirement to operate in the local currency may create other practical difficulties for the combined company.
The combined company will face new legislation and tax risks in certain Newcrest operating jurisdictions.
Newcrest has operations and conducts business in a number of jurisdictions in which we do not currently operate or conduct business, which may increase our susceptibility to sudden tax changes. Taxation laws of these jurisdictions are complex, subject to varying interpretations and applications by the relevant tax authorities and subject to changes and revisions in the ordinary course. In addition, the Proposed Newcrest Transaction and integration of Newcrest may subject us to tax liabilities that may exist at Newcrest or may arise in connection with the completion of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, which are currently unknown. Any unexpected taxes imposed on the combined company could have a material and adverse impact on the combined company.
Failure by Newcrest to comply with applicable laws prior to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction could subject the combined company to adverse consequences following the Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
Newcrest is subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Australian Criminal Code Act of 1955 and the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada). The foregoing laws prohibit companies from making improper payments to officials, require the maintenance of records and require adequate internal controls. Following the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, the combined company may be liable for any violation of the foregoing laws attributable to Newcrest prior to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction.
Newcrest is also subject to a wide variety of laws relating to the environment, health and safety, taxes, employment, labor standards, money laundering, terrorist financing and other matters. Failure by Newcrest to comply with any of the foregoing legislation prior to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and may subject the combined company to other liabilities, including fines, prosecution and reputational damage, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of the combined company. The compliance mechanisms and monitoring programs adopted and implemented by Newcrest prior to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction may not adequately prevent or detect possible violations of such applicable laws. Investigations by governmental authorities related to any actual or perceived violation of the foregoing laws could also have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition of the combined company.
The pendency of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction may cause disruptions in our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Parties with which we and Newcrest do business may experience uncertainty associated with the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, including with respect to current or future business relationships with us, Newcrest or the combined company. Our and Newcrest’s relationships may be subject to disruption as customers, suppliers and other persons with whom we and Newcrest have a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with us or Newcrest, as applicable, or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than us or Newcrest. In addition, our current and prospective associates may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel and key management and other employees may be difficult to retain or may become distracted from day-to-day operations because matters related to the Proposed Newcrest Transaction may require substantial commitments of their time and resources. These disruptions could have an adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and/and financial position of us, Newcrest or future results.the combined company following the completion of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction, including an adverse effect on our ability to realize the expected synergies and other benefits of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction. The risk, and adverse effect, of any disruption could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Proposed Newcrest Transaction or the termination of the Transaction Agreement.

(2)In January 2021, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock award vesting and to provide returns to shareholders, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased under the new program does not exceed $1 billion. In February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of this program to December 31, 2022. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including trading volume, market conditions, legal requirements, business conditions and other factors.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
At Newmont, safety is a core value, and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” crisis management process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards.
The health and safety of our people and our host communities is paramount. This is why Newmont continues to sustain robust controls at our operations and offices globally in response to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.globally.
The operation of our U.S. based mine is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mine on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.
Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report. It is noted that the Nevada mines owned by Nevada Gold
Mines LLC, a joint venture between the Company (38.5%) and Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) (61.5%), are not included in the Company’s Exhibit 95 mine safety disclosure reporting as such sites are operated by our joint venture partner, Barrick.
