____________________________

(1)Attributable gold ounces produced includes 224, 285 and 325 ounces for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment.

(2)Attributable gold ounces sold excludes ounces related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment, and the Fruta del Norte mine, which is wholly owned by Lundin Gold whom the Company holds a 32% interest and is accounted for as an equity method investment.

(3)Gold equivalent ounces are calculated as pounds or ounces produced or sold multiplied by the ratio of the other metals’ price to the gold price. In 2023, the Company updated the metal prices utilized for this calculation to align with reserve metal price assumptions; this resulted in fewer calculated gold equivalent ounces - other metals produced and sold of 148 thousand ounces and 145 thousand ounces, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023, than would have been calculated based on the pricing used in 2022 for this calculation.

Our global project pipeline

Newmont’s project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Near-term development capital projects are presented below. Additional projects represent incremental improvements to production and cost guidance. We manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.

Ahafo North, Ahafo. This project expands our existing footprint in Ghana with four open pit mines and a stand-alone mill located approximately 30 kilometers from the Company’s Ahafo South operations and will deliver value through the open pit mining and processing of over three million ounces of gold over a 13-year mine life. The project is expected to add between 275,000 and 325,000 ounces per year for the first five full years of production beginning in 2026. Capital costs for the project are estimated to be between $950 and $1,050 with an expected commercial production date in late 2025. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $375, of which $163 related to 2023.

Tanami Expansion 2, Tanami. This project secures Tanami’s future as a long-life, low-cost producer with potential to extend mine life to 2040 through the addition of a 1,460-meter hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to achieve higher production and provide a platform for future growth. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production by approximately 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years and is expected to reduce operating costs by approximately 30 percent. Capital costs for the project are estimated to be between $1,700 and $1,800 with an expected commercial production date in the second half of 2027. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $752, of which $253 related to 2023.

Cadia Block Caves, Cadia. This project includes two panel caves to recover approximately 5.9 million ounces of gold reserves and 2.9 billion pounds of copper reserves. First ore has been delivered from the first panel cave (PC2-3), and development is underway at the second panel cave (PC1-2). The newly acquired project is currently under review, and a more fulsome update on the anticipated metrics is expected to be provided in mid 2024. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $36, of which all related to 2023.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

Introduction

Newmont Corporation was incorporated in 1921 and is primarily a gold producer with significant operations and/or assets in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Fiji and Ghana. At December 31, 2023, Newmont had attributable proven and probable gold reserves of 135.9 million ounces, attributable measured and indicated gold resources of 104.8 million ounces, attributable inferred gold resources of 69.1 million ounces, and an aggregate land position of approximately 24,900 square miles (64,400 square kilometers). Newmont is also engaged in the production of copper, silver, lead, and zinc. As the world’s leading gold company, Newmont remains committed to creating value and improving lives through sustainable and responsible mining.

Newmont’s corporate headquarters are in Denver, Colorado, U.S. In this report, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we” refer to Newmont Corporation together with our affiliates and subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

On November 6, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Newcrest Mining Limited ("Newcrest") (“the Newcrest transaction”). Results of Newcrest for the period November 6 to December 31, 2023 are included in this report. For further information, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Information

In January 2023, Newmont reassessed and revised its operating strategies and the accountabilities of the senior leadership team in light of the continuing volatile and uncertain market conditions and in November 2023, the Company completed the Newcrest transaction (refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information). Following these changes, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect the mining operations acquired and certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by Newmont's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). As a result, the Company determined that its reportable segments were each of its 17 mining operations that it manages, which includes its 70.0% proportionate interest in Red Chris, and its 38.5% proportionate interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") which it does not directly manage.

For information on acquisitions and asset sales impacting the comparability of our results, refer to Notes 1 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively.

Refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors, below, and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information relating to our reportable segments. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information relating to domestic and export sales and lack of dependence on a limited number of customers.

Products

References in this report to “attributable” means that portion of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc or molybdenum produced, sold or included in proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources based on our proportionate ownership, unless otherwise noted.

Gold

General. The details of our consolidated and attributable gold production from continuing operations are set forth below:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2023	2022	2021
Consolidated gold ounces produced (thousands)	5,401	5,786	5,884
Attributable gold ounces produced (thousands)	5,545	5,956	5,971
Attributable gold ounces produced from equity method investments (thousands):
Pueblo Viejo (40%)	224	285	325
Fruta del Norte (1)	—	—	—
	224	285	325

____________________________

(1)The Fruta del Norte mine is wholly owned and operated by Lundin Gold Inc. ("Lundin Gold"). The Company acquired a 32% interest in Lundin Gold through the Newcrest transaction. The 32% interest is accounted for as an equity method investment with results reported on a quarter lag. As a result, results of operations will not be reported until the first quarter of 2024. Refer to Notes 3 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 89%, 87% and 86%, respectively, of our Sales were attributable to gold. Most of our Sales come from the sale of refined gold. The end product at our gold operations, however, is generally doré bars. Doré is an alloy consisting primarily of gold but also containing silver and other metals. Doré is sent to refiners to produce bullion that

Table of Contents

meets the required market standard of 99.95% gold. Under the terms of our refining agreements, the doré bars are refined for a fee, and our share of the refined gold and the separately-recovered silver is credited to our account or delivered to buyers. Additionally, a portion of gold is sold in concentrate containing other metals such as copper, silver, lead, zinc and/or molybdenum.

Gold Uses. Gold generally is used for fabrication or investment. Fabricated gold has a variety of end uses, including jewelry, electronics, dentistry, industrial and decorative uses, medals, medallions and official coins. Gold investors buy gold bullion, official coins and jewelry.

Gold Supply. A combination of mine production, recycling and draw-down of existing gold stocks held by governments, financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals make up the annual gold supply. Based on public information available, for the years ended December 31, 2021 through 2023, mine production has averaged approximately 75% of the annual gold supply with the remainder primarily sourced from recycled gold.

Gold Price. The following table presents the annual high, low and average daily afternoon LBMA Gold Price over the past ten years on the London Bullion Market ($/ounce):


Year	High		Low		Average
2024 (through February 15, 2024)	$	2,068	$	1,985	$	2,029
2023	$	2,078	$	1,811	$	1,941
2022	$	2,039	$	1,629	$	1,800
2021	$	1,943	$	1,684	$	1,799
2020	$	2,067	$	1,474	$	1,770

2015	$	1,296	$	1,049	$	1,160
2014	$	1,385	$	1,142	$	1,266

On February 15, 2024, the afternoon LBMA gold price was $2,004 per ounce.

Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on how we recognize revenue for gold sales from doré production.

Other Co-product Metals

Generally, if a metal expected to be mined represents more than 10% to 20% of the life of mine sales value of all the metal expected to be mined, the metal is considered a co-product and recognized as Sales in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Copper production at Boddington, Red Chris, Cadia, and Telfer and silver, lead and zinc production at Peñasquito are considered co-products. Copper, silver, lead, and zinc sales are generally in the form of concentrate that is sold to smelters for further treatment and refining.

The following table details consolidated co-product production and the percentage of Sales that was attributable to copper, silver, lead, and zinc for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:


	2023			2022			2021
	Co-product Production	Sales as % of Total Sales		Co-product Production	Sales as % of Total Sales		Co-product Production	Sales as % of Total Sales
Copper (pounds/millions) (1)	145	5	%	84	3	%	71	2	%
Silver (ounces/millions) (2)	18	3	%	30	5	%	31	5	%
Lead (pounds/millions) (2)	113	1	%	149	1	%	177	2	%
Zinc (pounds/millions) (2)	230	2	%	377	4	%	435	5	%

____________________________

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2023, copper co-product production came from Red Chris, Boddington, Cadia, and Telfer. All of our copper co-product production came from Boddington for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(2)All of our silver, lead and zinc co-product production came from Peñasquito.

By-product Metals

If a metal expected to be mined falls below the co-product sales value percentages, the metal is considered a by-product. Revenues from by-product sales are credited to Costs applicable to sales in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Aside from the co-product sales at Red Chris, Peñasquito, Boddington, Cadia, and Telfer, copper, silver, and molybdenum produced at other Newmont sites are by-product metals.

Gold and Other Metals Processing Methods

Doré. Gold is extracted from naturally-oxidized ores by either milling or heap leaching, depending on the amount of gold contained in the ore, the amenability of the ore to treatment and related capital and operating costs. Higher grade oxide ores are generally processed through mills, where the ore is ground into a fine powder and mixed with water into a slurry, which then passes through a carbon-in-leach circuit to recover the gold. Lower grade oxide ores are generally processed using heap leaching. Heap leaching consists of stacking crushed or run-of-mine ore on impermeable, synthetically lined pads where a weak cyanide solution is applied to the surface of the heap to dissolve the gold contained within the ore. In both cases, the gold-bearing solution is then collected and pumped to process facilities to remove the gold by collection on carbon or by zinc precipitation.

Gold contained in ores that are not naturally-oxidized can be directly milled if the gold is liberated and amenable to cyanidation, generally known as free milling ores. Ores that are not amenable to cyanidation, known as refractory ores, require more costly and complex processing techniques than oxide or free milling ore. Higher grade refractory ores are processed through either roasters or autoclaves. Roasters heat finely ground ore to a high temperature, burn off the carbon and oxidize the sulfide minerals that prevent efficient leaching. Autoclaves use heat, oxygen and pressure to oxidize sulfide ores.

Some gold sulfide ores may be processed through a flotation plant. In flotation, ore is finely ground, turned into slurry, then placed in a tank known as a flotation cell. Chemicals are added to the slurry causing the gold-containing sulfides to attach to air bubbles and float to the top of the tank. The sulfides are removed from the cell and converted into a concentrate that can then be processed in an autoclave, roaster, or fine grinding circuit to recover the gold through leaching. Gold-bearing solution is then plated onto cathodes in an electrowinning process or precipitated using zinc powder. In both cases, the precipitate is melted with fluxes in a furnace to produce doré.

Concentrate. Sulfide ore is delivered to a crushing and grinding plant which feeds a sulfide processing plant. The sulfide processing plant primarily comprises lead and zinc flotation stages. In the lead and zinc flotation, the slurry is conditioned with reagents to activate the desired minerals and produce lead and zinc concentrate. The lead concentrate is highly enriched in gold and silver, with a smaller fraction of the precious metal recovered in the zinc concentrate. The resulting concentrate is sold to smelters or traders for further processing.

Ore containing copper and gold is crushed to a coarse size at the mine and then transported via conveyor to a process plant, where it is further crushed and then finely ground as a slurry. The ore is initially treated by successive stages of flotation resulting in a gold/copper concentrate containing approximately 10% to 26% copper. The flotation tailings have a residual gold content that is recovered in either a carbon-in-leach circuit or is dewatered and loaded onto trucks for transportation off-site.

Ore containing silver and gold is crushed to a coarse size at the mine and then transported via conveyor to a process plant, where it is further crushed and then finely ground as a slurry. The ore is initially treated by successive stages of flotation resulting in a gold-silver concentrate. The flotation tailings have a residual gold content that is recovered in either a carbon-in leach circuit or is dewatered and loaded onto trucks for transportation off-site. The gold-silver concentrate is further refined in the gold room to produce gold-silver doré.

Competition

The top 10 producers of gold comprise approximately twenty-five percent of total worldwide mined gold production. We currently rank as the top gold producer with approximately five percent of estimated total worldwide mined gold production. Our competitive position is based on the size and grade of our ore bodies anchored in a large portfolio of Tier 1 assets located in favorable mining jurisdictions. A Tier 1 asset is defined as having, on average over such asset’s mine life: (1) production of over 500,000 GEO’s/year on a consolidated basis, (2) average AISC/oz in the lower half of the industry cost curve, (3) an expected mine life of over 10 years, and (4) operations in countries that are classified in the A and B rating ranges for Moody’s, S&P and Fitch.

We have a diverse portfolio of mining operations with varying ore grades and cost structures. Our costs are driven by the location, grade and nature of our ore bodies, and the level of input costs, including energy, labor and equipment. The metals markets are cyclical, and our ability to maintain our competitive position over the long term is based on our ability to acquire and develop quality deposits, hire and retain a skilled workforce, and to manage our costs.

Licenses and Concessions

Other than operating licenses for our mining and processing facilities, there are no third-party patents, operating licenses or franchises material to our business. In many countries, however, we conduct our mining and exploration activities pursuant to land-related licenses which include leases, concessions, claims, or prospecting licenses granted by the host government. These countries include, among others, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Suriname, Chile, Argentina, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Fiji, and Ghana. Refer to Item 2, Properties, below for further information on land-related licenses and concessions by property. The concessions and contracts are subject to the political risks associated with the host country. Refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors, below for further information.

Condition of Physical Assets and Insurance

Our business is capital intensive and requires ongoing capital investment for the replacement, modernization or expansion of equipment and facilities. Refer to Results of Consolidated Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources within Part II, Item 7, MD&A, for further information.

We maintain insurance policies against property loss and business interruption and insure against risks that are typical in the operation of our business, in amounts that we believe to be reasonable. Such insurance, however, contains exclusions and limitations on coverage, particularly with respect to environmental liability and political risk. There can be no assurance that claims would be paid under such insurance policies in connection with a particular event. Refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors, below for further information.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Overview. Focusing on leading environmental, social and governance ("ESG") practices are a core part of Newmont’s business. Widely recognized for our principled ESG practices, we have been consistently ranked as a leader in the mining and metal sector S&P Global, and we have been listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (“DJSI World”) since 2007.

ESG is a key part of how we make investment decisions and central to our culture and purpose to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining. Sustainability and safety are integrated into the business at all levels of the organization through our global policies, standards, strategies, business plans and remuneration plans. Our global strategies, notably those related to Sustainability and Health, Safety, and Security, aim to showcase leadership in environmental stewardship, safety, social responsibility and good governance. With clear targets, open communication and transparent reporting, we strive for continuous improvement to meet the evolving expectations of investors, governments, communities and other key stakeholders, and to contribute to a sustainable future for all.

Stakeholder Engagement. We engage regularly with relevant stakeholders, who we consider to be any person or organization potentially impacted by our activities or influential to our success, which allows us to gain a greater understanding of their needs, interests and perspectives while, at the same time, encouraging shared decision making to promote mutually beneficial outcomes. These engagements also inform what information is most useful for stakeholders for the purposes of our non-financial reporting. Newmont also engages with a variety of organizations at a global, regional, national and local level to adhere to high standards of governance, social and environmental policies and performance. These memberships and voluntary commitments reflect our values, support our approach to working collaboratively on best practices across several key matters and allow external stakeholders to hold us accountable. Our participation in industry initiatives, wherein we often take a leadership role, allows us to inform and influence global standards and practices, as well as gain insight into emerging expectations and issues.

Reporting. We believe that transparency and accountability are key attributes of governance. Since 2003, Newmont has been reporting on how we manage the sustainability issues of relevance to stakeholders around the globe. Our sustainability report provides an annual review of non-financial performance updates on governance, strategy and management approach, risk management, and performance and targets in key areas that include health, safety and security, workforce, the environment, supply chain, social acceptance, business integrity and compliance, value sharing, and equity, inclusion and diversity domains. Our sustainability report is compiled in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") 2021 Universal Standards Core option, the GRI Mining and Metals Sector Supplement, and the SASB Metals & Mining standards, is subject to an external limited assurance review, and reflects Newmont’s commitment to transparency and reporting obligations as a founding member of the International Council on Mining and Metals ("ICMM") and as an early adopter of the United Nations ("UN") Guiding Principles Reporting Framework. Additionally, our sustainability report aligns with the ICMM's Mining Principles' Performance Expectations, GISTM and the World Gold Council's Responsible Gold Mining Principles.

Newmont’s sustainability reporting suite also includes our climate report, sustainability-linked bond framework, ESG data tables, conflict-free gold report, modern slavery statement, policy influence disclosures, political spending disclosures, taxes and royalties contributions report, CDP (formerly, “Carbon Disclosure Project”) responses, and other reports and responses, which can be found on our website at www.newmont.com/sustainability. The information on our website, including, without limitation, in the annual sustainability report and climate report, should not be deemed incorporated by reference into this annual report or otherwise “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

Environmental Practices

Climate Change. We accept the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s ("IPCC") assessment of climate science, and we acknowledge that human activities contribute to climate change and business has an important role in addressing this global challenge. It is our firm belief that climate change is one of the greatest global challenges of our time. For a discussion of climate-related risks, refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Climate Targets and Initiatives to Achieve. As the world’s leading gold mining company, we believe that value-creation industries like mining have a responsibility to drive bold actions and innovation to transition us to a low-carbon economy. In an effort to play our part in addressing climate change, in 2020 we announced science-based, GHG emissions reduction targets of 32% for Scope 1 and Scope 2 and 30% for Scope 3 by 2030 ("2030 climate targets"), with an ultimate goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. Our 2030 targets have been approved and validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative, which ensures that our targets support the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. As a result of the Newcrest transaction, we are evaluating potential changes to our baseline to reflect our current portfolio. Our evaluations will be in line with GHG Protocol requirements.

Our most significant opportunities to reduce emissions exist in building or deploying cleaner energy solutions at the mine sites, as well as the greening of the electrical grid that supplies energy to our operations. Since announcing our 2030 climate targets, we have taken steps to invest in climate change initiatives in support of our goal. As part of these initiatives, in November 2021, Newmont announced a strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc. (“CAT”) with the aim to develop and implement a comprehensive all-electric autonomous mining system to achieve safer and more productive operations while also supporting Newmont in achieving our climate targets. Newmont pledged an investment of $100 to CAT, of which $56 has been paid as of December 31, 2023. These dollars fund

Table of Contents

collaborative work to develop and deploy electric equipment for surface and underground mining at Newmont’s operations. Other investments supporting our climate change initiatives are expected to include emissions reduction projects and renewable energy opportunities as we seek to achieve these climate targets.

We also see sustainable finance as a way to further demonstrate Newmont's commitment to achieving our 2030 climate targets. In December 2021, Newmont became the first in the mining industry to issue a sustainability-linked bond, with the registered public offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.6% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2032 (the "Notes"), with the coupon linked to Newmont’s performance against key ESG commitments regarding 2030 climate targets and the representation of women in senior leadership roles target. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Newmont published a Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework and obtained a second party opinion on the framework from Institutional Shareholder Services group of companies ("ISS") ESG. The Notes align Newmont’s business and financing with its commitments and values by creating a direct link between its sustainability performance and funding strategies.

In addition to our focus on reducing carbon emissions, we believe that access to clean, safe water is a human right, and reliable water supplies are vital for hygiene, sanitation, livelihoods and the health of the environment. Because water is also critical to our business, we recognize the need to use water efficiently, protect water resources, and collaborate with the stakeholders within the watersheds where we operate to effectively manage this shared resource. We operate in water-stressed areas with limited supply and increasing population and water demand. Increasing pressure on water use may occur due to increased populations in and around communities in proximity to our operations.

Biodiversity. Our operations span four continents in a range of ecosystems that include tropical, desert and arctic climates. We understand the impact our activities can have on the environment and are committed to protect and prevent – or otherwise minimize, mitigate and remediate – those impacts in the areas where we operate through responsible management during all aspects of the mine lifecycle and collaboration with stakeholders to develop integrated approaches to land use.

Our Environmental Impact. We conduct our operations so as to protect public health and the environment and believe our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive.

Our Environmental Reclamation and Remediation Commitments. Each operating mine has a reclamation plan in place that meets, in all material respects, applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We are also involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former, primarily historical, mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites. The reclamation and remediation stage is a multifaceted process with complex risks. Successfully closing and reclaiming mines is crucial for gaining stakeholder trust and maintaining social acceptance. Notably, Newmont is committed to the implementation of the GISTM for tailing storage facilities by 2025. Compliance with GISTM remains ongoing and has and may continue to result in further increases to our sustaining costs and estimated closure costs. Additionally, laws, regulations and permit requirements focused on water management and discharge requirements for operations and water treatment in connection with closure are becoming increasingly stringent. Compliance with water management and discharge quality remains dynamic and has and may continue to result in further increases to our estimated closure costs. For a discussion of the most significant reclamation and remediation activities, refer to Note 6 and Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For discussion of regulatory, tailings storage facilities, water, climate and other environmental risks, refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors, for additional information.

Social Practices

Our People. At Newmont, one of the strategic pillars is people.

The success of our business comes from the accomplishments and well-being of our employees and contractors. That is why we strive to build a workplace culture that fosters leaders where everyone belongs, thrives, and is valued.

At December 31, 2023, approximately 21,700 people were employed by Newmont and Newmont subsidiaries and approximately 18,500 people were working as contractors in support of Newmont’s operations and attainment of our objectives. Additionally, at December 31, 2023, approximately 31% of our workforce were members of a union or participated in collective bargaining. We are committed to fostering solid relationships with all members of our workforce based on trust, treating workers fairly and providing them with safe and healthy working conditions. For a discussion of related risks, refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors.

In 2022, the full Board reviewed and approved our refreshed global people strategy. Our people strategy represents a multi-year journey, and its three pillars and respective aspirations include: (i) leadership – grow and attract exceptional leaders for our Company, the industry and beyond; (ii) inclusion, diversity and equity - through bold actions cultivate an inclusive, diverse and engaged workforce; and (iii) people experiences - foster a meaningful work experience that enables our culture and strategy to flourish. The Board of Directors’ Leadership Development and Compensation Committee holds reviews with management every quarter and on an ad hoc basis as needed to ensure appropriate management of human capital and progress against our stated goals.

Table of Contents

The people who work on our behalf give us a competitive advantage. Through our global people strategy, we align our talent management efforts with the overall business strategy. The strategy’s focus areas include enhancing the employee experience and evolving for future workforce needs; building our bench strength and leadership capabilities; developing effective labor relations that align stakeholders with a shared future; and improving inclusion, including reaching gender parity.

Inclusion and Diversity. We believe that progressing an inclusive workplace culture is a critical part of tackling the challenge of attracting and retaining diverse employees. We are also active participants in the Paradigm for Parity framework, a coalition of business leaders committed to a workplace where women and men have equal power, status and opportunity in senior leadership, and we are committed to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goal to achieve gender equality. Newmont has committed to increasing women in senior leadership roles to 50% by 2030 in line with Paradigm for Parity objectives.

Enterprise-wide female representation at the end of 2023 increased from 15 percent in 2022 to 16 percent. Mine sites continued to progress in implementing their action plans, leading to an overall increase in the representation of females in operations (General Manager downlines) from 9% to 11% in 2023. Female representation in senior leadership roles also increased from 30% to 33% in 2023. Female representation at the Board level in 2023 was 46% of independent directors with 69% of independent directors being either gender or ethnically diverse.

In our annual sustainability report, Newmont voluntarily reports workforce and labor information in accordance with GRI Standards, including data on workforce demographics, compensation and equal remuneration, gender diversity, union representation, labor relations, employee turnover, hiring representation, and training and development. Newmont also reports employment data in U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEO-1 reports which can be found on our website. The information in our sustainability report and on our website is not incorporated by reference in this annual report.

ESG Performance-based Compensation. The importance of ESG performance is emphasized with our workforce through our training and development programs and our compensation design. Employees eligible for our short-term incentive plan are held accountable for the Company’s health, safety and sustainability performance through Newmont’s performance-based compensation structure. ESG will comprise 30% of the Company’s Short-term Incentive Plan payout for 2023, with 20% allocated to health & safety metrics and 10% to sustainability performance based upon key public indices. In 2023, Newmont generated strong above target results in our health and safety and our sustainability measures with all sites having performed above target for manager/supervisor critical control verifications and manager coaching to support fatality risk management, and strong recognition by external rating agencies in connection with sustainability, including with S&P Global CSA (DJSI) ranking Newmont as the leader in the Mining & Metals sector.

Additional information regarding the Company’s compensation programs and performance will be provided in the 2023 Proxy Statement.

Health and Safety. We believe that our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. We continue to sustain robust controls at our operations and offices around the globe. The quality of our Health & Safety Management System is audited regularly as part of our assurance and governance process.

The quality and quantity of critical control verifications ("CCVs") in the field are important leading indicators for preventing fatalities and significant potential events ("SPEs"). In 2023, we completed over 650,000 CCVs in the field (a 5% increase compared to 2022). More than 86,000 controls were identified as absent or failed, which means we were able to implement the control in the field and prevent a serious event. SPEs were up 2% compared to 2022. Newcrest data has been excluded from the 2023 values due to the timing of the acquisition.

Commitments to Communities. Newmont aims to better understand both the positive and negative impacts that our activities have on host communities, and to engage impacted communities and groups to mitigate or optimize these impacts in a manner that is culturally appropriate and with the consent of those impacted. We strive to build meaningful relationships with stakeholders and recognize the need to understand, minimize and mitigate our impacts and to build long-term, positive partnerships. We also recognize our responsibility to respect and promote human rights.

Governance Practices

Board of Directors Oversight. Newmont believes that strong corporate governance, with management accountability and active oversight from an experienced Board of Directors, is essential for mitigating risk, serving in the best interests of all stakeholders and creating long-term value. The highest level of oversight at Newmont resides with Newmont’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board plays a critical role, overseeing the Company’s business strategy and the overall goal of delivering long-term value creation for shareholders and other stakeholders. The members of Newmont’s Board bring a broad range of backgrounds, experiences and talents, along with ethnic, racial and gender diversity, to our governance process. As of December 31, 2023, the Board was comprised of 14 directors (13 independent non-executive directors and one executive director) with more than 65% of the independent directors with a form of ethnic, racial or gender diversity to the Board, with 46% female representation among independent directors.

Four core Board committees, Audit, Corporate Governance and Nominating, Leadership Development and Compensation, and Safety and Sustainability, provide oversight and guidance in key areas. Each committee assists the Board in carrying out responsibilities such as assessing major risks, ensuring high standards of ethical business conduct, succession planning and talent management, and

Table of Contents

approving and providing oversight of the sustainability strategy, which includes commitments to adoption of best practices in promotion of a healthy and safe work environment, and environmentally sound and socially responsible mining and resource development. All members of these four core Committees are independent, as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and Newmont’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. More information on Newmont’s Board, governance practices and risk oversight can be found in our annual Proxy Statement.

Code of Conduct. Our global Code of Conduct (the “Code”), which was adopted and approved by Newmont’s Board, forms the foundation for our integrity expectations, and six overarching policies, along with our standards on Anti-Corruption, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment and U.S. Export Compliance, state the minimum requirements for conducting business honestly, ethically and in the best interests of Newmont. Our Code reflects our belief that as important as what we do is how we do it. It requires all representatives of Newmont to demonstrate our values – safety, integrity, sustainability, inclusion and responsibility – in every aspect of our professional lives and ultimately, to live up to our purpose, which is to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining.

Governance Materials. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Proxy Statement, policies, and the charters for the Committees of Board of Directors are available on our website, www.newmont.com, and are available free of charge upon request to Investor Relations at our principal executive office. We also file with the New York Stock Exchange an annual certification that our Chief Executive Officer is unaware of any violation of the NYSE’s corporate governance standards. We make available free of charge through our website this annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

Our business activities are subject to significant risks, including those described below. You should carefully consider these risks. If any of the described risks actually occurs, our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Such risks are not the only ones we face and additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Operations and Business

A substantial or extended decline in gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc prices would have a material adverse effect on us.

Our business is dependent on the prices of gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc, which fluctuate on a daily basis and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Factors tending to influence prices include:

•Gold sales, purchases or leasing by governments and central banks;

•Speculative short positions taken by significant investors or traders in gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc or other metals;

•The relative strength of the U.S. dollar;

•The monetary policies employed by the world’s major Central Banks;

•The fiscal policies employed by the world’s major industrialized economies;

•Expectations of the future rate of inflation;

•Interest rates;

•Recession or reduced economic activity in the United States, Australia, China, India and other industrialized or developing countries;

•Decreased industrial, jewelry, base metal or investment demand;

•Increased import and export taxes;

•Increased supply from production, disinvestment and scrap;

•Forward sales by producers in hedging or similar transactions;

•Availability of cheaper substitute materials; and

•Changing investor or consumer sentiment, including in connection with transition to a low-carbon economy, investor interest in crypto currencies and other investment alternatives and other factors.

Average gold prices for 2023 were $1,941 per ounce (2022: $1,800; 2021: $1,799), average copper prices for 2023 were $3.85 per pound (2022: $3.99; 2021: $4.23), average silver prices for 2023 were $23.35 per ounce (2022: $21.73; 2021: $25.12), average lead prices for 2023 were $0.97 per pound (2022: $0.98; 2021: $1.00), and average zinc prices for 2023 were $1.20 per pound (2022: $1.58; 2021: $1.36). Any decline in our realized prices adversely impacts our revenues, net income and operating cash flows, particularly in light of our strategy of not engaging in hedging transactions with respect to sales of gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc. We have recorded impairments in the current year and may experience additional impairments in future years as a result of lower gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc prices.

In addition, sustained lower gold, silver, copper, zinc or lead prices can:

•Reduce revenues further through production declines due to cessation of the mining of deposits, or portions of deposits, that become uneconomic at sustained lower metal prices;

•Reduce or eliminate the profit that we currently expect from ore stockpiles and ore on leach pads and increase the likelihood and amount that the Company might be required to record write downs related to the carrying value of its stockpiles and ore on leach pads;

•Halt or delay the development of new projects;

Table of Contents

•Reduce funds available for exploration and advanced projects with the result that depleted reserves may not be replaced; and

•Reduce existing reserves by removing ores from reserves that can no longer be economically processed at prevailing prices.

We may be unable to replace gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc reserves as they become depleted.

Mining companies must continually replace reserves depleted by production to maintain production levels over the long term and provide a return on invested capital. Depleted reserves can be replaced in several ways, including expanding known ore bodies, by locating new deposits or acquiring interests in reserves from third parties. Exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and uncertainties and is frequently unsuccessful in discovering significant mineralization. Accordingly, our current or future exploration programs may not result in new mineral producing operations. Even if significant mineralization is discovered, it will likely take many years from the initial phases of exploration until commencement of production, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change.

We may consider, from time to time, the acquisition of ore reserves from others related to development properties and operating mines. Such acquisitions are typically based on an analysis of a variety of factors including historical operating results, estimates of and assumptions regarding the extent of ore reserves, the timing of production from such reserves and cash and other operating costs. Other factors that affect our decision to make any such acquisitions may also include our assumptions for future gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc prices or other mineral prices and the projected economic returns and evaluations of existing or potential liabilities associated with the property and its operations and projections of how these may change in the future. In addition, in connection with any acquisitions we may rely on data and reports prepared by third parties (including ability to permit and compliance with existing regulations) and which may contain information or data that we are unable to independently verify or confirm. Other than historical operating results, all these factors are uncertain and may have an impact on our revenue, our cash flow and other operating issues, as well as contributing to the uncertainties related to the process used to estimate reserves and resources. In addition, there may be intense competition for the acquisition of attractive mining properties.

As a result of these uncertainties, our exploration programs and any acquisitions which we may pursue may not result in the expansion or replacement of our current production with new ore reserves or operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial position.

Estimates of proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources are uncertain and the volume and grade of ore actually recovered may vary from our estimates.

The reserves stated in this report represent the amount of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc and molybdenum that we estimated, at December 31, 2023, could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Estimates of proven and probable reserves are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, or will be, to a large extent, based on the prices of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum and interpretations of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other exploration techniques, which data may not necessarily be indicative of future results. If our reserve estimations are required to be revised due to significantly lower gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum prices, increases in operating costs, reductions in metallurgical recovery or other modifying factors, this could result in material write-downs of our investment in mining properties, goodwill and increased amortization, reclamation and closure charges.

Producers use pre-feasibility or feasibility studies for undeveloped ore bodies to derive estimates of capital and operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the predicted configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, the costs of comparable facilities, the costs of operating and processing equipment and other factors. Actual operating and capital cost and economic returns on projects may differ significantly from original estimates. Further, it may take many years from the initial phases of exploration until commencement of production, during which time, the economic feasibility of production may change.

Additionally, resources do not indicate proven and probable reserves as defined by the SEC or the Company’s standards. Estimates of measured, indicated and inferred resources are subject to further exploration and development, and are, therefore, subject to considerable uncertainty. Inferred resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. The Company cannot be certain that any part or parts of the resource will ever be converted into reserves.

In addition, if the price of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc, or molybdenum declines from recent levels, if production costs increase, grades decline, recovery rates decrease or if applicable laws and regulations are adversely changed, the indicated level of recovery may not be realized or mineral reserves or resources might not be mined or processed profitably. Similarly, mineral reserves may be impacted if assumptions relating to mine planning change or are not achieved, for example if planned improvements from our Full Potential programs are not realized. If we determine that certain of our mineral reserves have become uneconomic, this may ultimately lead to a reduction in our aggregate reported reserves and resources. Consequently, if our actual mineral reserves and resources are less than current estimates, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial position may be materially impaired.

Table of Contents

Reserves and resources disclosed in this Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with the Regulation S-K 1300. In 2021, the Company transitioned its approach to reporting and internal methodologies to take into account the required change from the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 to Regulation S-K 1300. To the extent that regulators adopt new requirements and issue or modify related guidance and interpretations in the future, it could result in changes to mineral reserve and mineral resource information.

Estimates relating to projects and mine plans of existing operations are uncertain and we may incur higher costs and lower economic returns than estimated.

Mine development and expansion projects typically require a number of years and significant expenditures during the development phase before production is possible. Such projects could experience unexpected problems and delays during permitting, development, construction and mine start-up. Our decision to develop a project is typically based on the results of studies, which estimate the anticipated economic returns of a project. The actual project profitability or economic feasibility may differ from such estimates as a result of any of the following factors, among others:

•Changes in tonnage, grades and metallurgical characteristics of ore to be mined and processed;

•Changes in input commodity and labor costs;

•The quality of the data on which engineering assumptions were made;

•Increases in development capital and investment costs;

•Adverse geotechnical, geothermal and hydrogeological conditions;

•Availability of adequate and skilled labor force;

•Availability, supply and cost including: critical assets, water, reagents, and power;

•Costs related to environmental management and sales including waste management, monitoring and transport and storage of product sales;

•Fluctuations in inflation and currency exchange rates;

•Availability and terms of financing;

•Delays in obtaining environmental or other government permits or approvals or changes in the laws and regulations related to our operations or project development;

•Changes in tax laws, the laws and/or regulations around royalties and other taxes due to the regional and national governments and royalty agreements;

•Government instability, including but not limited to decreased support for development of mining projects;

•Weather or severe climate impacts, including, without limitation, prolonged or unexpected precipitation, drought and/or sub-zero temperatures;

•Potential delays and restrictions in connection with health and safety issues, including pandemics (such as COVID-19 and related variants) and other infectious diseases, such as malaria or the zika virus;

•Potential delays relating to social and community issues, including, without limitation, issues resulting in protests, road blockages or work stoppages; and

•Potential challenges to mining activities or to permits or other approvals or delays in development and construction of projects based on claims of disturbance of cultural resources or the inability to secure consent generally from Indigenous groups.

New projects require, among other things, the successful completion of feasibility studies, attention to various fiscal, tax and royalty matters, obtainment of, and compliance with, required governmental permits and arrangements for necessary surface and other land rights. We may also have to identify adequate sources of water and power for new projects, ensure that appropriate community infrastructure (for example, reliable rail, ports, roads, and bridges) is developed to support the project and secure appropriate financing to fund a new project. These infrastructures and services are often provided by third parties whose operational activities are outside of our control. Establishing infrastructure for our development projects requires significant resources, identification of adequate sources of raw materials and supplies, and the cooperation of national and regional governments, none of which can be assured. In addition, new projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future financial and operating performance, including future cash flow. Thus, it is possible that actual costs may increase significantly and economic returns may differ materially from our estimates. Consequently, our future development activities may not result in the expansion or replacement of current production with new production, or one or more of these new production sites or facilities may be less profitable than currently anticipated or may not be profitable at all, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

For our existing operations, we base our mine plans on geological and metallurgical assumptions, financial projections and commodity price estimates. These estimates are periodically updated to reflect changes in our operations, including modifications to our proven and probable reserves, revisions to environmental obligations, changes in legislation and/or our political or economic

Table of Contents

environment, and other significant events associated with or impacting mining operations. Further, future positive revisions, if any, remain subject to improvements in costs, recovery, commodity price or a combination of these and other factors. Additionally, we review our operations for events and circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are determined to exist at our mine operations, and an impairment charge is incurred, such charges are not reversible at a later date even when favorable modifications to our proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, favorable revisions to environmental obligations, favorable changes in legislation and/or our political or economic environment, and other favorable events occur. As a result of these uncertainties, actual results may be less favorable than estimated returns and initial financial outlook.

Increased operating and capital costs could affect our profitability.

Costs at any particular mining location are subject to variation due to a number of factors, such as variable ore grade, changing metallurgy and revisions to mine plans in response to the physical shape and location of the ore body, as well as the age and utilization rates for the mining and processing related facilities and equipment. In addition, costs are affected by the price and availability of input commodities, such as fuel, electricity, labor, chemical reagents, explosives, steel, concrete and mining and processing related equipment and facilities. Commodity costs are, at times, subject to volatile price movements, including increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. Further, changes in laws and regulations can affect commodity prices, uses, and transport. Reported costs may also be affected by changes in accounting standards. A material increase in costs at any significant location could have a significant effect on our profitability and operating cash flow.

Our operational costs, including, without limitation, labor costs, can be impacted by inflation. Certain of our operations are located in countries that have in the past experienced high rates of inflation, such as in Argentina, Suriname, and Ghana. It is possible that in the future, high inflation in the countries in which we operate may result in an increase in operational costs in local currencies (without a concurrent devaluation of the local currency of operations against the dollar or an increase in the dollar price of gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc). A material increase in costs at any significant location could have a significant effect on our profitability and operating cash flow.

We could have significant increases in capital and operating costs over the next several years in connection with new projects, costs related to closure reclamation activities, and in the sustaining and/or expansion of existing mining and processing operations. Costs associated with capital expenditures may increase in the future as a result of factors beyond our control. Increased capital expenditures may have an adverse effect on the profitability of and cash flow generated from existing operations, as well as the economic returns anticipated from new projects. Significantly higher and sustained increases in operational costs or capital expenditures could result in the deferral or closure of projects and mines in the event that costs become prohibitive.

Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made.

Natural resource extractive companies are required to close their operations and rehabilitate the lands that they mine in accordance with a variety of environmental laws and regulations. Estimates of the total ultimate closure and rehabilitation costs for gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead mining operations are significant and based principally on current legal, community and regulatory requirements and mine closure plans that may change materially.

Additionally, we may be held responsible for the costs of addressing contamination at the site of current or former activities or at third party sites or be held liable to third parties for exposure to hazardous substances should those be identified in the future. Under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) and its state law equivalents, current or former owners of properties may be held jointly and severally liable for the costs of site cleanup or required to undertake remedial actions in response to unpermitted releases of hazardous substances at such property, in addition to, among other potential consequences, liability to governmental entities for the cost of damages to natural resources, which may be significant. These subject properties are referred to as “superfund” sites. For example, the inactive Midnite uranium mine is a superfund site subject to CERCLA. It is possible that certain of our other current or former operations, projects or exploration locations in the U.S. could be designated as a superfund site in the future, exposing us to potential liability under CERCLA.

The laws and regulations governing mine closure and reclamation in a particular jurisdiction are subject to review at any time and may be amended to impose additional requirements and conditions which may cause our provisions for environmental liabilities to be underestimated and could materially affect our financial position or results of operations. For a more detailed description of potential environmental liabilities, see the discussion in Environmental Matters in Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, regulators are increasingly requesting security in the form of cash collateral, credit, trust arrangements or guarantees to secure the performance of environmental obligations, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position. Any underestimated or unanticipated retirement and rehabilitation costs could materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Environmental liabilities are accrued when they become known, or new permit conditions or limits are added, are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Whenever a previously unrecognized remediation liability becomes known, or a previously estimated reclamation cost is increased, the amount of that liability and additional cost will be recorded at that time and could materially reduce our consolidated net income attributable to Newmont stockholders and potentially result in impairments.

For example, in early 2015 and again in June 2017, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, the MINAM, issued proposed modifications to water quality criteria for designated beneficial uses which apply to mining

Table of Contents

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 2017, Yanacocha submitted a modification to its previously approved compliance achievement plan to the MINEM. 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 to 2027. In June 2023, Yanacocha received approval of its updated compliance plan from MINEM and was granted an extension to June 2026 to achieve compliance. The Company appealed this approval to the Mining Council requesting the regulatory extension until 2027. In December 2023, this appeal was granted and the Mining Counsel has established that MINEM must approve a new schedule considering permits, technical studies, logistics and the implementation of the plan.

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, were progressed in 2023 as the study team continued to evaluate and revise assumptions and estimated costs of changes to the reclamation plan. While certain estimated costs remain subject to revision, in conjunction with the Company’s annual 2023 update process for all asset retirement obligations, the Company recorded an increase of $1,131 to the Yanacocha reclamation liability based on the progress of the closure studies with a corresponding non-cash charge of $1,101 recorded to reclamation expense related to portions of site operations no longer in production with no expected substantive future economic value and $30 recorded as an increase to the asset retirement cost for producing areas of the operation. The annual 2023 update included an initial consideration of known risks (including the associated risk that water treatment estimates could change in the future as more work is completed). However, these and other 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, a comprehensive review of our tailings storage facility management, review of Yanacocha’s water balance and storm water management system and review of post-closure management costs. The ongoing Yanacocha closure studies are expected to be progressed in 2024 and continue in the future. Future material increases or decreases to the asset retirement obligation could occur as additional analyses are completed and further refinements to water quality and volume modeling are completed. Additionally, revisions to the Yanacocha reclamation plan may change in connection with the Company’s ultimate submission and review of the plan with Peruvian regulators. Refer to Notes 6 and 25 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding reclamation and remediation, and Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the Company’s interest in Yanacocha.

Damage to our reputation may result in decreased investor confidence, challenges in maintaining positive community relations and can pose additional obstacles to our ability to develop our projects, which may result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and growth prospects.

Damage to our reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of a variety of events and circumstances, and could result in negative publicity (for example, with respect to handling of environmental, tailings and tailings failures, employee, safety and security matters, dealings with local community organizations or individuals, community commitments, handling of cultural sites or resources, and various other matters).

We have also provided greater transparency on environmental, social and governance performance in response to stakeholder engagement and requests in recent years, and provide supplemental disclosures in our Annual Sustainability Report and other sustainability reports on our website in connection with stakeholder concerns and issues. Such increased transparency may result in greater scrutiny and impact how the Company is perceived.

Our Code of Conduct (the “Code”) forms the foundation of our internal governance structure as well as our commitment to responsible mining. We encourage employees and others to promptly report incidents of possible violations of the Code and/or our global policies and standards, including without limitation in the areas of business integrity, social and environmental, community relations and human rights. Employees and non-employees, including suppliers and community members, can anonymously report concerns via our third-party-administered helpline. Each mine site also has a complaints and grievances register to record matters raised by local stakeholders. When necessary, we use independent mechanisms agreed to by the complainants, such as a local leader or committee, to facilitate resolution of such matters before they require public or legal intervention. However, we are not always able to resolve these matters before they are raised publicly or in legal or regulatory proceedings and in the future we may not be able to meet the growing demands of stakeholders through these mechanisms. Such matters once publicized may negatively impact our reputation and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

The growing use of social media to generate, publish and discuss community news and issues and to connect with others has made it significantly easier, among other things, for individuals and groups to share their opinions of us and our activities, whether true or not. We do not have direct control over how we are perceived by others and any resulting loss of reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

We are dependent upon information technology and operational technology systems, which are subject to disruption, damage, failure and risks associated with implementation, upgrade, operation and integration.

We are dependent upon information technology and operational technology systems. The operating and control systems at our mines increasingly leverage technology-based solutions based on a combination of on-premises and cloud-based platforms. These systems are crucial for operating our mines safely and efficiently. Our systems, and those of our third-party service providers and vendors, may be targeted by increasingly sophisticated threat actors. These threats include continually evolving cybersecurity risks from a variety of sources, including, without limitation, malware, computer viruses, cyber threats, extortion, employee error, malfeasance, security breaches, cyber-attacks, natural disasters and defects in design. Cybersecurity risk is increasingly difficult to identify and quantify and cannot be fully mitigated because of the rapidly evolving nature of the threats, and the increasing sophistication of the threat actors. Additionally, unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to these systems for company information through fraud or other means of deceiving our third-party service providers, employees or vendors. We have experienced attempts by external parties to compromise our networks and systems. For example, in 2020, we detected a cyberattack on our systems. Although we were able to respond quickly to stop the continued spread of the threat, it took significant time and resources to fully identify the scope of the attack and to recover our systems and data. The cost of responding to and remediating such event was immaterial. Although the 2020 attempts and other cyber incidents to date have not resulted in any material breaches, disruptions, or loss of business-critical information, our systems and procedures for preparing and protecting against such attempts and mitigating such risks may prove to be insufficient against future attacks. Any future material compromise or breach of our IT systems could have an adverse impact on our business and operations, including damage to our reputation and competitiveness, remediation costs, litigation or regulatory actions. Given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of information technology disruptions, we could potentially be subject to production downtimes, operational delays, the compromising of confidential or otherwise protected information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks or financial losses from remedial actions. In addition, new technology that could result in greater operational efficiency, such as our use of artificial intelligence, fleet electrification, and autonomous vehicles, may further expose our operations and computer systems to the risk of cybersecurity incidents. Outages in our operational technology may affect operations related to health and safety and could result in putting lives at risk of harm or death. In addition, as technologies evolve and these cybersecurity attacks become more sophisticated, we may incur significant costs to upgrade or enhance our security measures to protect against such attacks and we may face difficulties in fully anticipating or implementing adequate preventive measures or mitigating potential harm. Such efforts may prove insufficient to deter future cybersecurity attacks or prevent all security breaches. While we maintain general insurance, we no longer maintain specific insurance policies covering cybersecurity risk due to increased premium costs and restrictions to coverage, and, as such, any events for which we are not insured may results in additional costs and could affect our results of operations and financial position.

We could also be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information technology systems are defective, not installed properly or not properly integrated into our operations. System modification failures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could, if not successfully implemented, adversely impact the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

To the extent we hold or acquire interests in any joint ventures or enter into any joint ventures, our interest in these properties is subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of joint ventures.

To the extent we hold or acquire interests in any joint ventures or enter into any joint ventures in the future, the existence or occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances and events could have a material adverse impact on our profitability or the viability of our interests held through joint ventures, which could have a material adverse impact on our future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition:

•inconsistent economic, political or business interests or goals between partners or disagreements with partners on strategy for the most efficient development or operation of mines;

•inability to control certain strategic decisions made in respect of properties;

•exercise of majority rights by our partners so as to take actions for which we may not believe to be in the joint venture’s best interests, including but not limited to decisions related to day to day operations, labor relations, litigation, government relations, political contributions, community relations, project approval and project funding mechanisms;

•inability of partners to meet their financial and other obligations to the joint venture or third parties; and

•litigation between partners regarding management, funding or other decisions related to the joint venture.

To the extent that we are not the operator of joint venture properties, such that we will be unable to control the activities of the operator, the success of such operations will be beyond our control. In many cases we will be bound by the decisions made by the operator in the operation of such property, and will rely on the operator to manage the property and to provide accurate information related to such property. We can provide no assurance that all decisions of operators of properties we do not control will achieve the expected results.

For example, our joint ventures, including the joint venture that combined our and Barrick Gold Corporation’s (“Barrick”) respective Nevada operations, forming NGM, pursuant to the operating agreement entered into on July 1, 2019 between Barrick, Newmont and their wholly-owned subsidiaries party thereto (the “Nevada JV Agreement”), may not be as beneficial to us as expected, whether due to the above-described risks, unfavorable global economic conditions, increases in construction costs, integration challenges, political risks, labor disputes or other factors. Pursuant to the terms of the Nevada JV Agreement, we hold a 38.5 percent economic interest and Barrick holds a 61.5 percent economic interest in NGM. Barrick operates NGM with overall management responsibility and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers, which is comprised of three managers appointed by Barrick and two managers appointed by Newmont. Outside of certain prescribed matters, decisions of the Board of Managers will be determined by majority vote, with the managers appointed by each company having voting power in proportion to such company’s economic interests in NGM. Because we beneficially own less than a majority of the ownership and governance interests in NGM, we have limited control of NGM’s operations, and we depend on Barrick to operate NGM. In the event that Barrick has interests, objectives and incentives with respect to NGM that differ from our own, there can be no assurance that we will be able to resolve such disagreement in our favor. Any such disagreement could have a material adverse effect on our interest in NGM, the business of NGM or the portion of our growth strategy related to NGM. Additionally, to the extent NGM is subject to liabilities or litigation, we would be responsible for a proportional share of certain liabilities and/or NGM’s operations could be impacted, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial position.

In addition, following the Newcrest transaction, equity positions in several mining companies have become part of the Newmont portfolio and increase its exposure to non-managed investments. For example, we hold a 32.0% equity interest in Lundin Gold, a Canadian mine development and operating company, operating the Fruta del Norte gold mine in Ecuador.

Additionally, the Company is subject to certain funding requirements in connection with its joint ventures. Joint venture funding requirements, as well as the ability of partners to meet their financial and other obligations, may result in increases to our costs and required capital expenditures and possible delays in joint venture activities. Refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information including with respect to loan agreements with Pueblo Viejo.

Our operations and business have in the past been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and may be materially and adversely impacted in the future by pandemics, epidemics and other health emergencies.

The Company faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could significantly disrupt operations and may materially and adversely affect its business and financial conditions. For example, the global COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our operations in 2020 and 2021, and to a lesser extent in 2022. In order to protect nearby communities and align with government travel restrictions or health considerations, certain of Newmont’s operations were temporarily put into care and maintenance resulting in a temporary decrease in production at these sites in 2020 and 2021. Additionally, the majority of our sites experienced pandemic-related absenteeism in 2021 and early 2022. In addition, the Company incurred costs during 2020 and 2021 as a result of actions taken to protect against the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and comply with local mandates, and could be required to incur such costs in the future. Reductions in our operational activities due to COVID-19, or another pandemic, epidemic or health outbreak, could result in additional sites being placed into care and maintenance for extended periods of time and/or have a material adverse impact on our business, or financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If the majority of our sites are placed into care and maintenance, this could significantly reduce our cash flow and impact our ability to meet certain covenants related to our revolving credit facility and borrowing capacity.

Financial Risk

Increased exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and capital controls may adversely affect Newmont’s costs, earnings and the value of some of our assets.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the majority of our earnings and cash flows are denominated in U.S. dollars. We conduct certain business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A portion of our operating expenses are incurred in local currencies. The appreciation of those local currencies against the U.S. dollar increases our costs of production in U.S. dollar terms at mines located outside the United States. The foreign currencies that primarily affect our results of operations are the Australian Dollar and the Canadian Dollar. Our consolidated earnings and cash flows may also be impacted by movements in the exchange rates. Change in the value of the currencies of the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, the Mexican Peso, the Argentine Peso, the Ghana Cedi, the Papua New Guinea Kina, the Chilean Peso, the Surinamese Dollar or the Fijian Dollar versus the U.S. dollar could negatively impact our earnings. For information concerning the sensitivity of our Costs applicable to sales to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and more information our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, see Foreign Currency Exchange Rates section in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

From time to time, countries in which we 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 market 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 Newmont, reducing the immediately available capital

Table of Contents

that we could otherwise deploy for investment opportunities or the payment of expenses. 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 Newmont. For example, Argentina has been considered a hyperinflationary environment with a cumulative inflation rate of over 100% for the last five years. In recent years, Argentina’s central bank enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency. These restrictions directly impact the timing of Cerro Negro's ability to remit cash from gold sales and pay interest and principal portions of intercompany debt to the Company. In addition, PNG is currently experiencing a backlog by foreign and domestic companies and governmental agencies to convert Kina into foreign currencies. The Bank of PNG implements foreign exchange controls and manages the exchange rate of the kina against the U.S. dollar. There is a risk that further changes in foreign exchange controls may adversely impact future revenue and profitability. For more information, see Results of Consolidated Operations and Foreign Currency Exchange Rates sections in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations. See also risk factors under the headings “Our operations in Argentina are susceptible to risk as a result of economic and political instability in Argentina and labor unrest”, “Our operations at Ahafo and Akyem in Ghana are subject to political, economic and other risks” and “Our Merian operation in Suriname is subject to political and economic risks”, “Our operations at Lihir and Wafi-Golpu in PNG are subject to political and regulatory risks and other uncertainties” and “Our operations at Red Chris and Brucejack in British Columbia, Canada are subject to political and regulatory risks and other uncertainties” below.

Future funding requirements may affect our business, our ability to pursue new business opportunities, invest in existing and new projects, pay cash dividends or engage in share repurchase transactions.

Potential future investments, including projects in the Company’s project pipeline, acquisitions and other investments, will require significant funds for capital expenditures. Depending on gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc prices, our operating cash flow may not be sufficient to meet all of these expenditures, or result in strategic reprioritization of the project portfolio, depending on the timing of development of these and other projects. As a result, new sources of capital may be needed to meet the funding requirements of these investments, fund our ongoing business activities, and fund construction and operation of potential future projects. Our ability to raise and service significant new sources of capital will be a function of macroeconomic conditions, future gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc prices as well as our operational performance, current cash flow and debt position, among other factors. We may determine that it may be necessary or preferable to issue additional equity or other securities, defer projects or sell assets. However, U.S. and global markets have, from time to time, experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic and events related to the recent and on-going conflicts (such as sanctions in Ukraine, Russia and/or Belarus), have in the past, and may in the future cause volatility and pricing in the capital markets. Additional financing may not be commercially available when needed or, if available, the terms of such financing may not be favorable to us and, if raised by offering equity securities, any additional financing may involve substantial dilution to existing shareholders. In the event of lower gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc prices, unanticipated operating or financial challenges, or new funding limitations, our ability to pursue new business opportunities, invest in existing and new projects, fund our ongoing business activities, retire or service all outstanding debt, fund share repurchase programs and transactions and pay dividends could be significantly constrained. The Company’s repurchase program may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount during the authorization period. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future. See also the risk factor under the heading “Holders of our common stock may not receive dividends.” In addition, our joint venture partners may not have sufficient funds or borrowing ability in order to make their capital commitments. In the case that our partners do not make their economic commitments, the Company may be prevented from pursuing certain development opportunities or may assume additional financial obligations, which may require new sources of capital.

Our long-lived assets and goodwill could become impaired, which could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations.

We review our operations for events and circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are determined to exist at our mine operations, we review the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets by estimating the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. We also review our goodwill for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Management makes multiple assumptions in estimating future cash flows, which include production levels based on life of mine plans, future costs of production, estimates of future production levels based on value beyond proven and probable reserves at our operations, prices of metals, the historical experience of our operations and other factors. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating production levels of gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc and the costs to mine recoverable reserves, including many factors beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected financial and operating results or result in future impairment charges. We may be required to recognize material non-cash charges relating to impairments of long-lived assets and/or goodwill in the future if actual results differ materially from management’s estimates, which include metal prices, our ability to reduce or control production costs or capital costs through strategic mine optimization initiatives, increased costs or decreased production due to regulatory issues or if we do not realize the mineable reserves, resources or exploration potential at our mining properties. Additions to asset retirement costs could result in impairment charges.

We recorded substantial goodwill, primarily as the result of our acquisition of Newcrest in 2023. We accounted for the acquisition of Newcrest using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Newcrest based on their respective fair market values. Any excess

Table of Contents

purchase price is allocated to goodwill. Our balance sheet reflects additions to the carrying amount of goodwill recognized in connection with the Newcrest transaction.

The Company continues to evaluate strategic priorities and deployment of capital to projects in the pipeline. A decision to reprioritize, sell or abandon a development project could result in a future impairment charge. For example, in response to challenging market conditions, which included inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, in 2023 the Company announced the deferral for at least two years of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru. With the delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project, management will focus on optimizing its allocation of funds to current operations and other capital commitments, while also assessing execution options and project plans options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. The Company also periodically updates the economic model for its Conga project to understand changes to the estimated capital costs, cash flows, and economic returns from the project. Certain decisions or changes in circumstances could result in determinations that carrying value is not recoverable and could result in impairment. See Part II, Item 7 under the heading “Critical Accounting Estimates – Carrying value of long-lived assets and Carrying value of Conga” for additional information.

If an impairment charge is incurred, such charges are not reversible at a later date even when favorable modifications to our proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, favorable revisions to environmental obligations, favorable changes in legislation and/or our political or economic environment, or other favorable events occur. As a result of these uncertainties, our operating results may be significantly impacted from both the impairment and the underlying trends in the business that triggered the impairment, and actual results may be less favorable than estimated returns and initial financial outlook. For additional information regarding goodwill, refer to Note 19 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our ability to recognize the benefits of deferred tax assets is dependent on future cash flows and taxable income.

We recognize the expected future tax benefit from deferred tax assets when the tax benefit is considered to be more likely than not of being realized, otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied against deferred tax assets. Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on historical results of operations, forecasted cash flows from operations, and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, our ability to realize the deferred tax assets could be impacted. In the future, our estimates could change requiring a valuation allowance or impairment of our deferred tax assets. Additionally, future changes in tax laws could limit our ability to obtain the future tax benefits represented by our deferred tax assets. Refer to Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading “Income and Mining Taxes - Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets” and Note 2 under the heading “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets” for additional information and factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets. For additional information regarding Newmont’s non-current deferred tax assets, refer to Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Any downgrade in the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities could increase our future borrowing costs and adversely affect the availability of new financing.

There can be no assurance that any rating currently assigned by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Moody’s Investors Service, or Fitch Ratings to Newmont will remain unchanged for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered if, in that rating agency’s judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of the rating so warrant. If we are unable to maintain our outstanding debt and financial ratios at levels acceptable to the credit rating agencies, or should our business prospects or financial results deteriorate, our ratings could be downgraded by the rating agencies. The Company’s credit ratings have been subject to change over the years. We currently maintain a Standard & Poor’s rating of “BBB+” (stable outlook). Moody’s Investors Service rating of Baa1 (positive outlook), and a Fitch Ratings rating of A- (stable outlook). We cannot make assurances regarding how long these ratings will remain unchanged or regarding the outcome of the rating agencies future reviews (including following any planned or future business combinations). A downgrade by the rating agencies could adversely affect the value of our outstanding securities, our existing debt and our ability to obtain new financing on favorable terms, if at all, and increase our borrowing costs, which in turn could impair our results of operations and financial position.

Returns for investments in pension plans are uncertain.

We maintain pension plans for certain employees which provide for specified payments after retirement. The Company’s qualified pension plans are funded with cash contributions in compliance with IRS rules and regulations. The Company’s non-qualified and other benefit plans are currently not funded, but exist as general corporate obligations. Refer to Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading “Pension and Other Benefit Plans” for additional information regarding the funding status of qualified and non-qualified plans. The Company reviews its retirement benefit programs on a regular basis and will consider market conditions and the funded status of its qualified pension plans in determining whether additional contributions are appropriate. The ability of the pension plans to provide the specified benefits depends on our funding of the plans and returns on investments made by the plans. Returns, if any, on investments are subject to fluctuations based on investment choices and market conditions. A sustained period of low returns or losses on investments could require us to fund the pension plans to a greater extent than anticipated. If future plan investment returns are not sufficient, we may be required to increase the amount of future cash contributions.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We may experience increased costs or losses resulting from the hazards and uncertainties associated with mining.

The exploration for natural resources and the development and production of mining operations are activities that involve a high level of uncertainty. These can be difficult to predict and are often affected by risks and hazards outside of our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

•Environmental hazards, including discharge of metals, concentrates, pollutants or hazardous chemicals;

•Industrial accidents, including in connection with the operation of heavy mobile equipment, milling equipment and/or conveyor systems and accidents associated with the preparation and ignition of large-scale blasting operations, milling and processing;

•Accidents in connection with transportation, including transportation of chemicals, explosives or other materials, transportation of large mining equipment and transportation of employees and business partners to and from sites;

•Social, community or labor force disputes resulting in work stoppages or shipping delays, such as at Peñasquito, Cerro Negro, Merian, Akyem and Lihir, or related loss of social acceptance of community support;

•Changes and/or increasingly stringent legal and regulatory requirements;

•Delays in permitting due to reduced resources and capacity for review and formulation of permits at regulatory agencies;

•Security incidents, including activities of illegal or artisanal miners, gold bullion or concentrate theft, including in transport, and corruption and fraud;

•Shortages in materials or equipment and energy and electrical power supply interruptions or rationing;

•Failure of unproven or evolving technologies or loss of information integrity or data;

•Unexpected geological formations or conditions (whether in mineral or gaseous form);

•Metallurgical conditions and gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc and other metal recovery, including unexpected decline of ore grade;

•Unanticipated changes in inventory levels at heap-leach operations;

•Ground and surface water conditions;

•Fall-of-ground accidents in underground operations;

•Failure of mining pit slopes, tailings embankments, and other tailing depositions, or water storage dams;

•Seismic activity;

•Surface or underground fires or floods, inundation or inrush of water and other materials; and

•Other natural phenomena, such as lightning, cyclonic or tropical storms, drought, avalanches, landslides, wildfires, tsunami, floods, or other inclement weather conditions, including those impacting operations or the ability to access and supply sites.

The occurrence of one or more of these events in connection with our exploration activities, development and production and closure of mining operations may result in the death of, or personal injury to, our employees, other personnel or third parties, the loss of mining equipment, work stoppages, damage to or destruction of mineral properties or production facilities, monetary losses, deferral or unanticipated fluctuations in production, environmental damage and potential legal liabilities, all of which may adversely affect our reputation, business, prospects, results of operations and financial position.

Mining operations involve a high degree of risk, including hazards related to the use of explosives and hazardous chemicals and critical equipment failure.

Our operations are subject to risks associated with the transportation, storage, handling and use of explosives and hazardous chemicals. These include unplanned detonation of explosives and catastrophic release of hazardous chemicals (for example, due to vessel rupture resulting in an explosion or toxic gas release). Critical equipment related risks that apply to various Newmont sites include for example, mill failure arising from catastrophic failure of a component, or unavailability of mine haul fleet. Other critical equipment related risks may be site specific. For example, asset integrity at Lihir may be impacted by the proximity of the mine to a corrosive marine environment. The occurrence of such catastrophic events may result in work stoppages, damage to or destruction of mines and other producing facilities, damage to or loss of life and property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for any or all damage or loss and may adversely affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition

Table of Contents

We rely on our supply chain operations to procure goods and services to conduct aspects of our operations and projects, and competition with other natural resource companies, and shortage of critical parts and equipment may adversely affect our operations and development projects.

Production continuity and cost profile can be impacted by risks associated with the management and operation of the Company’s inbound global supply chain (including risks associated with the inventory management of critical equipment, spares and consumables). We rely on our global supply chain to procure goods and services from contractors to conduct aspects of our operations and projects. We are exposed to material availability, disruption and performance risks across our supply chain, including lack of suitable suppliers or contractors, cost increases, impacts of pandemics and epidemics on the supply chain, transportation and logistics issues including delays in delivery, disruption to trade flows due to geopolitical tensions and/or changes in legislation, performance of suppliers and contractors to contractual terms, and damage to our reputation caused by actions of our suppliers or contractors. See the risk factors “We rely on contractors to conduct a significant portion of our operations and construction projects” and “Our operations may be adversely affected by rising energy prices or energy shortages” below for further information.

Inbound supply chain disruptions could lead to mine site production curtailment or stoppage if a critical material or labor input unavailability. This could have a material adverse impact to our financial condition depending on the duration of the curtailment or stoppage. The Company is also exposed to outbound supply chain risk, particularly fluctuating transportation charges, delays in delivery of shipments, theft, terrorism, geopolitical tensions and border closures and adverse weather conditions.

In addition, we compete with other natural resource companies for specialized equipment and supplies necessary for exploration and development, as well as for rights to mine properties containing gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc, and other minerals. The mining industry has been impacted, from time to time, by increased demand for critical resources such as input commodities, drilling equipment, trucks, shovels and tires. These shortages have, at times, impacted the efficiency of our operations, and resulted in cost increases and delays in construction of projects; thereby impacting operating costs, capital expenditures and production and construction schedules. We may be unable to obtain the services of skilled personnel and contractors or specialized equipment or supplies, or to acquire additional rights to mine properties, which could have an adverse effect on our competitive position or adversely impact our results of operations.

We may be unable to obtain or retain necessary permits, leases, or other types of land tenure, which could adversely affect our operations.

Our mining and processing operations and development and exploration activities are subject to extensive permitting requirements. The requirements to obtain and/or achieve or maintain full compliance with such permits can be costly and involve extended timelines. While we strive to obtain and comply with all permits required of us, there can be no assurance that we will obtain all such permits and/or achieve or maintain full compliance with such permits at all times. Previously obtained permits may be suspended or revoked for a number of reasons, including through government or court action. New or amended permits may also be required to continue existing activities, as new laws come into effect or regulators change their application of laws. Failure to obtain and/or comply with required permits can have serious consequences, including damage to our reputation; cessation of the development of a project; increased costs of development or production and litigation or regulatory action, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our ability to obtain the required permits and approvals to explore for, develop and operate mines and to successfully operate near communities in the jurisdictions in which we operate depends in part on our ability to develop, operate and close mines in a manner that is consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. Our ability to obtain permits and approvals and to operate near certain communities may be adversely impacted by real or perceived detrimental events associated with our activities or those of other mining companies affecting the environment, health and safety of communities in which we operate. Key permits and approvals may be revoked or suspended or may be adjusted in a manner that adversely affects our operations, including our ability to explore or develop properties, commence production or continue operations. Permit review and approval could be delayed, adversely impacting project implementation due to delays in review and development of permits from limited resources at the regulatory agencies.

Certain of our mining and processing operations, including tailings storage, and project expansion and development activities require mineral and/or surface properties that are leased or otherwise granted to the Company for a specific period of time. Obtaining and/or maintaining, extending, and renewing the Company’s rights, titles, or interests ("Legal Title") in and to these properties can be costly, subject to political and social risks, and no assurance can be provided that all necessary leases or other types of land tenure will be granted, maintained, extended, or renewed. For example, additional tailings capacity is needed to support future growth and sustainability of Boddington operations beyond 2025. Boddington’s existing tailings facility is expected to reach the permitted capacity in 2026. Following advancement of the life of mine tailings study to explore options for continued tailings deposition, the Company decided to expand the existing F1/F3 Residue Disposal Area ("RDA") from an ultimate capacity of 600Mt to 750Mt to provide storage capacity to 2029, subject to permitting and other approvals, and approved commencement of studies for a new nearby tailings facility, termed RDA2. The cost and viability of other options remains uncertain at this time. The Company continues to work through incorporating the requirements of the GISTM. Further, the Boddington operation is primarily located on mining leases with renewal dates commencing in 2028. The lease renewal, as well as additional leases required in connection with tailings expansion, require cooperation and agreements with third parties. No assurances can be provided that such renewals and additional lease scope for

Table of Contents

further tailings capacity will be secured at similar cost, commercially reasonable terms, or at all. A failure to secure agreement on commercially reasonable terms could result in increased costs, requirements to move infrastructures, modification to future plans, including cessation of mining. Similarly, the current capacity of the TSFs at Cadia should support operations through to late 2029 by exhausting capacity within the current Pit TSF ("PTSF") and by constructing a raise to the South Tailings Storage Facility ("STSF"), as has been permitted. Studies evaluating potential options to increase tailings storage capacity are underway, including the proposal to construct an extension to the current STSF "STSFX") to provide capacity to approximately 2050.

Failure to obtain necessary leases and other types of land tenure can have serious consequences, including loss of Legal Title in and to mineral and/or surface properties that are owned or controlled by the Company, cessation of operations and processing or the development of a project and/or increased costs, litigation or regulatory action, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. See also the risk factors under the headings “Our Company and the mining industry are facing continued geotechnical, geothermal and hydrogeological challenges, which could adversely impact our production and profitability,” and “Title to some of our properties may be insufficient, defective, or challenged”.

Mining companies are increasingly required to consider and provide benefits to the communities and countries in which they operate in order to maintain operations.

Greater scrutiny on the private sector broadly and multi-national companies specifically, to contribute to sustainable outcomes in the places where they operate, has led to a proliferation of standards and reporting initiatives focused on environmental stewardship, social performance and transparency. Extractive industries, and mining in particular, have seen significant increases in stakeholder expectations. These businesses are increasingly required to meaningfully engage with impacted stakeholders; understand and avoid or mitigate negative impacts while optimizing economic participation and uplift opportunities associated with their operations. The expectation is for companies to create shared value for shareholders, employees, governments, local communities and host countries. Such expectations tend to be particularly focused on companies whose activities are perceived to have high socio-economic and environmental impacts. In Canada, for instance, there is increased expectation that is also increasingly supported by regulations and/or case law for Indigenous communities on whose traditional territories mineral development occurs or is impacted by mineral development to share in the economic prosperity of the mine, and for such communities to share in joint decision making with government regulators on various permitting efforts. Newmont has over many years developed and continues to evolve a robust system of ESG management that includes policies, standards, guidance, assurance, participation in international organizations focused on improved performance and outcomes for host communities and the environment. In Ghana, for instance, in response to resettlement-related complaints, Newmont worked with national and local government authorities, traditional leaders, impacted farmers/landowners and other concerned stakeholders to analyze impacts, extend programs to support vulnerable households and provide enhanced and/or alternative livelihood support. Despite the Company’s commitment to on-going engagement with communities and stakeholders, no assurances can be provided that increased stakeholder expectations will not result in adverse financial and operational impacts to the business, including, without limitation, operational disruption, increased costs, increased investment obligations, increased commitments to local and/or Indigenous communities with fiscal implications, and increased taxes and royalties payable to governments.

Illegal mining and artisanal mining occurs on or adjacent to certain of our properties exposing such sites to security risks.

Artisanal, small scale and illegal miners have been active on, or adjacent to, some of Newmont’s African and South American properties, including in Peru, Suriname and Ghana in recent years. For example, in Ghana in 2019, illegal miners attacked a field team of security guards employed by a security contractor, tragically resulting in a fatality. While we are working collaboratively with the artisanal miners in Suriname on a program that includes improving mining practices for improved safety, environmental and processing practices as well as alternative livelihood opportunities, this not always possible. Illegal mining, which involves trespass into the development or operating area of the mine, poses security, safety and environmental issues, which may present a security threat to property and human life. The illegal miners from time to time have clashed with security staff and law enforcement personnel who have attempted to move them away from the facilities. Although, under certain circumstances, artisanal mining may be a legally sanctioned activity, artisanal mining is also associated with a number of negative impacts, including environmental degradation, poor working practices, erosion of civil society, human rights abuse and funding of conflict. The environmental, social, safety and health impacts of artisanal and illegal mining are frequently attributed to formal large scale mining activity, and it is often assumed that artisanally-mined gold is channeled through large-scale mining operators, even though artisanal and large-scale miners normally have separate and distinct supply chains. These misconceptions impact negatively on the reputation of the industry. The activities of the illegal miners could cause damage to Newmont’s properties or result in inappropriate or unlawful use of force for which Newmont could potentially be held responsible. The presence of illegal miners could lead to exploration and project delays and disputes regarding the development or operation of commercial gold deposits. Illegal mining could also result in lost gold production and reserves, mine and development stoppages, and have a material adverse effect on financial condition or results of operations or project development. Finally, it is difficult to separate potential or actual environmental impacts from Newmont's activities from those of artisanal miners who have illegally accessed and are operating on our mine leases. This can cause both reputational and compliance challenges.

Table of Contents

Civil disturbances and criminal activities can disrupt business and expose the Company to liability.

Civil disturbances and criminal activities such as trespass, illegal mining, sabotage, theft, blockades, organized crime and vandalism may cause disruptions and could result in the suspension of operations, delays to project development and negative impacts on exploration activities at certain sites. Incidents of such activities have occasionally led to conflict with security personnel and/or police, which in some cases resulted in serious injuries or death including in Ghana, Peru, Mexico, PNG and Suriname in recent years. Additionally, some areas in which we conduct operations, develop projects and exploration activities are affected by civil unrest such as in PNG and Ecuador in early 2024, and persistent violence and organized crime involving significant drug cartels, such as in Mexico.

Although security measures have been implemented by the Company to protect employees, community members, property and assets, such measures will not guarantee that such civil disturbances and criminal activities will not continue to occur in the future, or result in harm to employees, community members or trespassers, decrease operational efficiency or construction delays, increase community tensions or result in liabilities or reputational harm to Newmont. Security incidents, in the future, may have a material adverse effect on our operations, development projects, exploration and reclamation activities, especially if criminal activity and violence escalate. Such incidents may halt or delay production, increase operating costs; result in harm to employees, contractors, visitors or community members; decrease operational efficiency due to employee absenteeism and other factors; increase community tensions or otherwise adversely affect our ability to conduct business. The manner in which the Company’s personnel, national police or other security forces respond to civil disturbances and criminal activities can give rise to additional risks where those responses are not conducted in a manner consistent with international and Newmont standards relating to the use of force and respect for human rights. Newmont takes seriously our obligation to respect and promote human rights, is a signatory to and active participant in the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, and has adopted a Sustainability and Stakeholder Engagement Policy and Human Rights Standard in-line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Nonetheless, although the Company has implemented a number of significant measures and safeguards which are intended to ensure that personnel understand and uphold these standards, the implementation of these measures will not guarantee that personnel, national police or other security forces will uphold these standards in every instance. The evolving expectations related to human rights, human rights defenders, Indigenous rights, and environmental protections may result in opposition to our current and future operations, the development of new projects and mines, and exploration activities. Such opposition may take the form of legal or administrative proceedings or manifestations such as protests, roadblocks or other forms of public expression against our activities, and may have a negative impact on our local or global reputation and operations. Opposition by community and activist groups to our operations may require modification of, or preclude the operation or development of, our projects and mines or may require us to enter into agreements with such groups or local governments with respect to our projects and mines or exploration activities, in some cases, causing increased costs and significant delays to the advancement of our projects. For example, in Peru, our Conga project faced opposition from anti-mining activists, after which we suspended construction on the project’s mining facilities and eventually reclassified Conga’s reserves to resource as the result of certain operating and construction permits expiring at the end of 2015. The failure to conduct operations in accordance with Company standards can result in harm to employees, community members or trespassers, increase community tensions, reputational harm to Newmont or result in criminal and/or civil liability and/or financial damages or penalties.

Our operations face substantial regulation of health and safety.

Our operations are subject to extensive and complex laws and regulations governing worker health and safety across our operating regions and our failure to comply with applicable legal requirements can result in substantial penalties. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations, permits and approvals or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could substantially increase costs to achieve compliance, lead to the revocation of existing or future exploration or mining rights or otherwise have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Our mines are inspected on a regular basis by government regulators who may issue citations and orders when they believe a violation has occurred under local mining regulations. If inspections result in an alleged violation, we may be subject to fines, penalties or sanctions and our mining operations could be subject to temporary or extended closures.

In addition to potential government restrictions and regulatory fines, penalties or sanctions, our ability to operate (including the effect of any impact on our workforce) and thus, our results of operations and our financial position (including because of potential related fines and sanctions), could be adversely affected by accidents, injuries, fatalities or events detrimental (or perceived to be detrimental) to the health and safety of our employees, the environment or the communities in which we operate.

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations.

Our exploration, development, mining and processing operations, and closed facilities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing land use and the protection of the environment, which generally apply to air and water, protection of endangered, protected or other specified species, hazardous and non-hazardous waste management and reclamation. Many of the countries in which we operate have laws and regulations related to water (quality and quantity), nature and greenhouse gas (“GHG") emissions which are becoming increasingly more stringent. We have made, and expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations imposes substantial costs and burdens, and can cause delays in obtaining, or a failure to obtain or renew, or cancellation of, government permits and approvals which may adversely impact our operations and closure processes. Increased global attention or regulation on consumption of shared resources and use

products or development of waste that have the potential to impact human health and the environment could similarly have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position due to increased compliance and input costs. Specific examples where we face such risks include:

Waste Rock and Tailings Management

Our gold and copper mining and ore refining/metals extraction processes generate waste by-products such as waste rock (managed in waste rock dumps or, in the case of Lihir, harbor waste rock platforms and permitted barge dumping locations) and tailings (managed by the use of tailings storage facilities, lacustrine deposition in the case of Brucejack or deep sea tailings placement in the case of Lihir and as proposed at Wafi-Golpu). Tailings storage facilities are constructed progressively throughout the life of the mine to support increasing capacity requirements. If there is a failure in the integrity of a tailings storage facility, there is a risk that tailings or large volumes of water and/or potentially contaminating materials may be released and cause material harm to human health and/or the environment downstream of the facility. Such an occurrence could severely damage our reputation and materially adversely impact our operating results and financial condition. It may also subject us to civil and/or criminal action, penalties and claims from environmental and planning regulators and/or affected third parties, and may lead to the suspension or disruption of our operations and projects. For example, in December 2023 at our Telfer operation in Western Australia, cracking and sinkholes were detected on an internal embankment of the site’s TSF. Upon detection, the Company suspended its processing operations and a prohibition notice limiting the use of the facility was issued by the local regulator. Prolonged or extended limitations on use of the TSF would adversely impact our production and profitability. See also risk factor under the heading "Our operations are dependent on the availability of sufficient water supplies and subject to water-related risk."

Tailings Storage Facilities and Dust Emissions at Cadia

Tailings deposition was suspended at Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd’s (“Cadia Holdings”) tailings storage facilities in March 2018 following an embankment slump of its Northern Tailings Storage Facility (“NTSF”). Use of the NTSF is subject to a prohibition notice issued by the NSW Resources Regulator and deposition is expected to remain suspended until repairs of the NTSF wall are completed. In December 2019, Cadia Holdings received approval from the New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment (the “NSW DPE”) to fully utilize the decommissioned Cadia Hill mine pit for deposition of thickened tailings. In December 2021, the NSW DPE granted approval to increase the permitted processing capacity from 32 to 35 million tonnes of ore in a calendar year. Such approval is subject to certain conditions, including that Cadia Holdings commission and publish an independent air quality audit report that includes a description of the details and scheduling of all reasonable and feasible best practice measures that are being implemented by Cadia Holdings to minimize off-site air quality impacts of the mine.

The independent air quality audit report published by Cadia Holdings in August 2022 indicated that dust emitted from two ventilation exhaust rises which vent emissions from underground processing operations exceeded levels permitted by applicable law. During the quarter ended June 2023, the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (“NSW EPA”) issued variations to its Environment Protection License (“EPL”), a Prevention Notice and Notices to Provide Information regarding the management of, and investigation into potential breaches relating to, dust emissions and other air pollutants from the Cadia tailings storage facilities and ventilation rises. The license variations largely formalized the actions Cadia Holdings had developed in consultation with the NSW EPA and was already undertaking across a range of measures.

Cadia Holdings received a letter from the NSW EPA in June 2023 requiring it to immediately comply with specific statutory requirements and EPL conditions. Adjustments were implemented underground, including a reduction in mining rates, modifications to the ventilation circuit and the installation of additional dust sprays and spray curtains. Additional dust collection units were subsequently installed enabling normal mining rates to be restored.

In August 2023, the NSW EPA commenced proceedings in the Land and Environment Court of NSW (the “NSW Land and Environment Court”) against Cadia Holdings, alleging that air emissions from Cadia in March 2022 exceeded the standard of concentration for total solid particles permitted under applicable laws due to the use of surface exhaust fans at the mine. On September 29, 2023, Cadia Holdings entered a plea of guilty and the NSW Land and Environmental Court listed the case for a sentencing hearing on March 28, 2024. On October 13, 2023, the NSW EPA commenced additional proceedings in the NSW Land and Environment Court against Cadia Holdings, alleging two additional contraventions of applicable air emissions requirements in November 2021 and May 2023 and two contraventions related to alleged air pollution from tailings storage facilities on October 13 and 31, 2022. On November 24, 2023 Cadia Holdings entered a plea of guilty to the two additional charges relating to applicable air emissions requirements and the NSW Land and Environmental Court listed the case for a sentencing hearing on March 28, 2024. The proceedings related to alleged air pollution from the tailings storage facilities are adjourned for further directions on February 23, 2024. The NSW EPA’s investigation regarding the management of air emissions from the mine is ongoing.

Failure to maintain compliance with applicable law or Cadia Holdings’ EPL may result in the NSW EPA suspending or revoking Cadia Holdings’ EPL, seeking court orders or issuing additional prevention notices to modify or cease certain activities. Ongoing enforcement, and challenges in maintaining compliance, may impact Cadia Holdings’ ability to secure a future expansion of its project approval to extend the life of mine from 2031 to 2055. In addition, Cadia Holdings has previously been, and may in the future be, subject to prosecutions and penalties for noncompliance with air quality requirements or the terms of its EPL, including in respect of emissions from any vent rise or emissions from the NTSF and the Southern Tailings Storage Facility (“STSF”). Operational changes

required to achieve or maintain compliance, including reductions in mining rates and other limitations on mining or processing operations, or additional requirements to install costly pollution control equipment, may adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.

Environmental Sampling in the Cadia Area

In early 2023, residents living near Cadia raised concerns about potential impacts to drinking water supplies by various contaminants, including metals such as lead, nickel and copper, which they allege are related to emissions from the vent rises at Cadia, as well as periodic dust emission events at NTSF and STSF. In response to community concerns, the New South Wales Ministry of Health tested the quality of residents’ kitchen tap water and reported that it was safe to drink. The NSW EPA is also undertaking water testing in the local area and to date, the majority of results from the kitchen tap samples show metal concentrations below the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines values. The majority of the instances of non-compliance from both Cadia Holdings’ and the NSW EPA’s sampling programs showed that such instances of non-compliance were influenced by building and plumbing materials. A particulate characterization study, which was undertaken by the Australian government’s Australian Nuclear Science Technology Organisation (the “ANSTO”) and commissioned by Cadia Holdings in collaboration with the local community, assessed the PM2.5 dust contribution from Cadia to the regional air shed over a 12-month period and concluded that Cadia contributed only a small percentage of soil particulate matter. In fact, soil was determined to be the least significant source of air pollution over the 12-month period, contributing less than 10% to the total PM2.5 mass. The ANSTO study also determined that metals of concern recently identified by the community, such as lead, nickel, selenium and chromium, occurred at very low levels in the PM2.5 fraction and did not exceed any national standard. The report is part of a comprehensive suite of independent air and water quality investigations, including with respect to sampling of drinking water sources, air quality monitoring, dispersion modelling and lead fingerprinting, that have been or are being conducted to determine the source of metals within the local airshed and to assess any health risks to the local community, if any, from air emissions from the Cadia mine site. In light of these developments at Cadia, there is a heightened level of community concern relating to the perceived impact of mining activities on the health of the community, and the condition of residential properties, located in proximity to Cadia. These developments, including community complaints associated with our activities at Cadia could give rise to reputational harm, operational disruptions, increased regulatory scrutiny of mining activities or delays to project development.

New South Wales Parliamentary Inquiry

In July 2023, a New South Wales Parliamentary Inquiry (Legislative Council’s Portfolio Committee No. 2 – Health) (the “Parliamentary Inquiry”) was initiated into current and potential community impacts of gold, silver, lead and zinc mining on human health, land, air and water quality in New South Wales. The inquiry process included written submissions, public hearings and witness testimony. The committee released its report including non-binding recommendations to the New South Wales Government on December 15, 2023. The government is required to respond to the report within three months. Newmont acknowledges and understands that some local residents living close to Cadia have concerns about dust emissions from Cadia’s tailings storage facilities and ventilation rises. Prior to our acquisition of Newcrest, Newcrest provided a submission to the committee and hosted a number of committee members on a tour of Cadia. Newcrest’s Interim CEO and Cadia’s General Manager also appeared before the committee as witnesses. The Parliamentary Inquiry and the community concerns could give rise to reputational harm, operational disruptions, increased regulatory scrutiny of mining activities and delays to project development.

Our operations are subject to a range of risks related to transitioning the business to meet regulatory, societal and investor expectations for operating in a low-carbon economy.

Climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy is expected to impact Newmont in a number of ways. Producing gold is an energy-intensive business, currently resulting in a significant carbon footprint. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy will require significant investment and may entail extensive policy, legal, technology, and market changes to address mitigation and adaptation requirements related to climate change. Depending on the nature, speed, focus and jurisdiction of these changes, transition risks may pose varying levels of financial and reputational risk to the business.

A number of governments or governmental bodies have introduced or are contemplating regulatory changes in response to the potential impacts of climate change that are viewed as the result of emissions from the combustion of carbon-based fuels. At the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“UNFCC”) held in Paris in 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted which was intended to govern emission reductions beyond 2020. Newmont supports the UNFCC goal of limiting global warming to “well below 2oC” compared to pre-industrial levels and plans to transition its operations to meet this goal by 2030, with an aspiration of carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2020, Newmont also announced plans to significantly invest in climate change initiatives in support of this goal, and additional material investments and capital expenditures will be required in order to meet our climate targets in the future. Inconsistent implementation or significant delay in the implementation of country-level policy related to the Paris Agreement and enhanced framework objectives announced at the most recent annual UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) in December 2023 are likely to increase the risk for future regulatory impacts and rapid shifts to low-carbon technologies, including renewable energy use.

Policy and regulatory risk related to actual and proposed changes in climate- and water-related laws, regulations and taxes developed to regulate the transition to a low-carbon economy may result in increased costs for our operations, venture partners and our suppliers, including increased energy, capital equipment, environmental monitoring and reporting and other costs to comply with

Table of Contents

such regulations. Regulatory uncertainty may incur higher costs and lower economic returns than originally estimated for new development projects and operations, including closure reclamation obligations. For example, operational and capital expenses are expected to increase in order to meet renewable portfolio standard requirements from current costs over the next 10 years in Australia, Canada, Mexico and the U.S. Carbon taxes, fuel switching and the transition to cleaner purchased power and/or on-site renewable energy generation will require significant upfront capital expenditures and may also increase operating costs. As another example, the carbon tax in Canada of C$65/tonne of CO2 set to increase to C$170 by 2030, impacting operating costs at our Canadian operations. We expect the potential for similar tax increases in other jurisdictions. Additionally, we do not maintain insurance policies against such climate-related risks or taxes.

The development and deployment of technological improvements or innovations will be required to support the transition to a low-carbon economy, which could result in write-offs and early retirement of existing assets, increased costs to adopt and deploy new practices and processing including planning and design for mines, development of alternative power sources, site level efficiencies and other capital investments. We will also consider the limited use of carbon neutralization or offsets for hard to abate emissions to assist in meeting our 2050 carbon neutral goal.

There will be varied and complex market impacts due to climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy. There will be shifts in supply and demand for certain commodities, products and services in connection with evolving consumer and investor sentiments. Market perceptions of the mining sector, and, in particular, the role that certain metals will or will not play in the transition to a low-carbon economy remains uncertain. Potential financial impacts may include reduced investment in gold due to shifts in investor sentiment, increased production costs due to changing input prices, re-pricing of land valuation and assets, increased global competition for key materials needed for new technologies (lithium, copper, rare earth minerals used in solar technology, etc.), potential cost increases by insurers and lenders, and potential increases in taxation of the mining and metals sector.

Should the mining and metals sector not respond quickly enough to meeting globally accepted science-based reductions required to mitigate the long-term impacts of climate change, industry members may be subject to an increased risk of future climate litigation. In the U.S. and Canada, lawsuits have been filed against oil and gas companies to assign liability for climate-related impacts. Over time, litigation may also apply to other resource intensive sectors that fail to set and/or meet long-term reduction targets. While the Company is not currently subject to any lawsuits related to climate, no assurances can be provided that similar suits will not be brought in the future.

A failure to meet our climate strategy commitments and goals and/or societal or investor expectations could also result in damage to our reputation, decreased investor confidence and challenges in maintaining positive community relations, which can pose additional obstacles to our ability to conduct our operations and develop our projects, which may result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations, and growth prospects. Further, the Company’s financing strategy is tied to its ESG commitments. The interest rate of Newmont’s $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.600% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2032 is linked to Newmont’s performance against key ESG commitments regarding 2030 emissions reduction targets and the representation of women in senior leadership roles target. The interest rate margin of Newmont’s $3.0 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility is also subject to adjustment based on the Company’s ESG scores. As such, a failure to meet our climate and sustainability targets can result in further expense and impact our liquidity and financial condition.

Our targets are uniquely tailored to our business, operations and capabilities, which do not easily lend to benchmarking against similar sustainability performance targets, and the related performance, of other companies. We are currently reviewing our targets and baselines, which may result in amendments in the future. Additionally, the methodologies that we use to calculate our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 GHG emissions may change over time based upon changing industry standards, which may impact, positively or negatively, our ability to satisfy our targets, which could in turn adversely affect our reputation. Any major acquisition, merger, consolidation or divestiture or any series of related acquisitions, mergers, consolidations or divestitures, by or involving us, may impact our ability to achieve our targets and commitments. There is currently no generally accepted global definition (legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what criteria qualify as, “green,” “social,” “sustainable” or “sustainability-linked” (and, in addition, the requirements of any such label may evolve from time to time), and therefore no assurance is or can be given that Newmont will meet any or all investor expectations.

Our operations are subject to a range of transitional and physical risks related to climate change.

We believe that climate change has the potential to impact the regions and sites in which Newmont operates, as well as the surrounding communities. Long-term potential physical climate risks include, but are not limited to, higher temperature in all regions, higher intensity storm events in all regions, impacts to annual precipitation depending upon the latitude and proximity of the site to oceans, and more extreme heat for sites near the equator or in Australia. Unusually dry climates can increase the chance of our operations being impacted by bush or forest fires.

Physical risks related to extreme weather events such as extreme precipitation, flooding, longer wet or dry seasons, flooding and drought conditions, increased temperatures, sea level rise, landslides, mine flooding, tsunami, geysers and outbursts, avalanches, landslides, wildfires or brushfires, or more severe storms may have financial implications for the business. In particular, the effects of changes in rainfall and intensities, water shortages and changing storm patterns have from time to time adversely impacted, and may in the future adversely impact, our costs, production levels and financial performance. For example, we experienced severe flooding in

Table of Contents

early 2017 at our Tanami mine in Australia which led to shutdown of operations for several weeks. In 2019, Tanami completed the construction of a natural gas pipeline to deliver fuel to the site to replace diesel fuel that is trucked to the site on roads that regularly flood due to increasing seasonal rainfall. Our operations in Suriname and Peru have also experienced delays in the connection with the delivery of key production supplies due to temporary flooding. In 2019, Cadia experienced droughts, which resulted in temporary process plant water shortages and lower processed volumes. In 2023, the Éléonore mine in Quebec Canada had to shut down for several weeks due to prolonged wildfires conditions nearby, and Lihir’s operating and financial performance was impacted by lower feed grade reflecting a higher proportion of low grade material being processed in the second half of the year, following extreme rainfall that limited pit access and caused materials handling issues at the mine crusher. This followed prolonged drought conditions across the province of New Ireland in PNG, where Lihir is located, which resulted in limited raw water supply to Lihir. Floods and wildfires have also occurred near Cadia, Telfer, and Red Chris in recent years.

There is also the potential for disruption to transport routes associated with the distribution of our products. For example, Brucejack’s glacial access road, which is an essential means of entering that mine site, may be subject to a risk of thawing due to the potential for an increase in average temperatures, which may be related to climate change. Severe storm events can also result in unpermitted off-site discharges, slope instability, mine pit erosion and structural failures, tailings storage facility overtopping and other impacts, including water storage and treatment facility capacity considerations. Extended dry seasons or unseasonal dry conditions could exacerbate dust generation from operating activities that may require additional controls for continued operation or result in compliance breaches. Changing climatic conditions may also affect the likelihood of meeting closure success criteria and require adjustments to mine site rehabilitation and closure plans. The higher potential for extreme heat conditions may affect equipment efficiency. For additional information, see risk factors under the headings “Our operations are dependent on the availability of sufficient water supplies and subject to water-related risks” and “Our Company and the mining industry are facing continued geotechnical, geothermal and hydrogeological challenges, which could adversely impact our production and profitability.”

Such events can temporarily slow or halt operations due to physical damage to assets, reduced worker productivity for safety protocols on site related to extreme temperatures or lightening events, worker aviation and bus transport to or from the site, and local or global supply route disruptions that may limit transport of essential materials, chemicals and supplies, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position. Additional financial impacts could include increased capital or operating costs to increase water storage and treatment capacity, obtain or develop maintenance and monitoring technologies, increase resiliency of facilities and establish supplier climate resiliency and contingency plans.

An increase in frequency and duration of extreme weather conditions can be followed by extended power outages. Energy disruptions can have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position due to production delays or additional costs to ensure business continuity through reliable sources of on-site power generation. Energy transmission and supply may be impacted by wildfires, such as those that occurred in Australia in 2020, which may interrupt electrical power transmission lines to mine sites, and that may pose risks to on-site facilities and energy generators, fuel dispensing systems and supplies. In jurisdictions that rely on purchased hydroelectric power, such as in Ghana and Peru, extreme drought and extended dry seasons may impact the electric utility’s water supplies needed to generate hydroelectric power purchased by the mine to run operations, which would result in higher costs and/or limit energy availability for continuity of operations as well as impact our environmental systems and processes.

Our Company and the mining industry are facing continued geotechnical, geothermal, and hydrogeological challenges, which could adversely impact our production and profitability.

Newmont and the mining industry are facing continued geotechnical, geothermal and hydrogeological challenges due to the older age of certain of our mines and a trend toward mining of more complex deposits, the use of deeper and larger pits and the use of deep, bulk or selective underground mining techniques. This leads to higher pit walls, more complex underground environments and increased exposure to geotechnical instability and geothermal and hydrogeological impacts. As our operations are maturing, the open pits at many of our sites are getting deeper and we have experienced geotechnical failures (such as pit wall and slope failures) at some of our mines, including, without limitation, at our operations in Australia, Ghana, Peru, Canada, Colorado and at NGM, in Nevada. See also the risk factor under the heading “Mining companies are increasingly required to consider and provide benefits to the communities and countries in which they operate in order to maintain operations”.

Additionally, there are a number of risks and uncertainties associated with the block cave mining methods applied at Cadia, in New South Wales, Australia. These risks include a cave not propagating as anticipated, excessive air gaps forming during the cave propagation, unplanned ground movement occurring due to changes in stresses released in the surrounding rock and larger or more frequent mining-induced seismicity than anticipated. Additionally, during cave establishment and propagation, higher levels of seismic activity, and higher likelihood of damage to excavations from seismic events, are expected. This has been observed during the cave establishment phase of Cadia’s PC2-3 project and is expected during the establishment of Cadia’s PC1-2 project in the coming years. Such seismic events and associated damage may require changes to the mining plan and upgrades to ground support systems, which could take several months. Large seismic events may also occur after cave establishment and propagation and during steady state caving, although the likelihood of this is lower. Excessive water ingress, disturbance and the presence of fine materials may also give rise to unplanned releases of material of varying properties and of water through drawbells. Cadia recorded sudden unplanned releases of both dry fine ore material and wet mud material through drawbells in 2023.

In addition, there are a number of risks and uncertainties associated with the application of techniques used in the civil engineering industry for the stabilization of steep open pit slopes by Newmont at Lihir, which is located in Papua New Guinea. These risks include variation to technical models when compared to actual conditions, performance of reinforcement system in hot ground and delays with the execution of the civil works due to lack of experience with these techniques. The success of our operations depends, in part, on implementing engineering solutions to particular geotechnical, hydrogeological and geothermal conditions. For example, underground operations, large vertical shafts need to be excavated in order to provide ventilation to the underground environment, and sometimes these shafts are excavated using unsupported techniques such as raiseboring, whereby the walls of the shafts cannot be supported until the excavation is completed. If adverse and unexpected geotechnical and hydrogeological conditions are encountered, the shaft walls may become unstable. To prevent this type of incident occurring, thorough geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations and stability assessments are required and, if needed, alternate excavation locations or techniques need to be implemented. One such shaft wall failure incident occurred at Cadia in 2022, resulting in the need to abandon and backfill a shaft shortly after the completion of excavation to prevent further unravelling of the shaft wall and potential interruptions to other operations.

Operations may also experience challenges to operating conditions, such as inundation, inrush of water or other materials, airblast and those relating to elevated temperatures (including management and discharge of hot water encountered in the underground workings). These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities, equipment or other properties, personal injury or death of employees or third parties, environmental damage, community outrage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Our operations are also subject to risks associated with a natural disaster, which include risk of tsunami, wildfires, mine flooding, geysers and outbursts, cyclones, avalanches and landslides. In addition, seismic activity may impact operations that are located in seismically active areas and subject to risks of earthquakes, such as Cadia and, as regards the related risks of tidal surge and tsunamis, Lihir. For instance, a large seismic event in 2017 impacted Cadia resulting in a temporary suspension of operations. Seismic activity has also been experienced at our Éléonore mine. Additionally, our Lihir operation is located within the Luise Caldera of the Luise Volcano which is located on the east coast of the Aniolam Island. The caldera is geothermally active in the form of hot springs and fumaroles.

Adverse geotechnical, geothermal and hydrogeological conditions, including surface or underground fires, floods, droughts, geysers and outbursts, coastal erosion and landslides, avalanches, cyclones and pit wall failures, can be difficult to predict. Such conditions are often affected by risks and hazards outside of our control, such as severe weather and considerable rainfall, which may lead to periodic floods, mudslides, wall instability and seismic activity, which may result in slippage of material. Such events may not be detected in advance.

In addition, Newmont has both operational (active and inactive) and closed tailings storage facilities ("TSFs") in a variety of climatic and geographic settings. Annually, Newmont manages and disposes more than 150 million tonnes of milled rock slurry, referred to as tailings, that are placed within engineered, surface containment facilities, or placed as structural backfill paste in underground mines (e.g., Éléonore, Porcupine), or managed subaqueously in-lake (i.e., Brucejack) or disposed of using deep sea tailings placement (i.e., Lihir). Newmont has experienced seepage and/or localized instability at TSFs which required us to re-evaluate our emergency response systems and make modifications to our TSFs. Issues with TSFs, such as instability, failure and/or seepage could occur in the future, and Newmont conducts detailed risk assessments considering potential failure modes to support understanding and development of risk mitigation measures in accordance with the As Low As Reasonably Practicable principle. The failure of a TSF embankment or a water storage dam at one of our mine sites could cause severe, and in some cases catastrophic, property and environmental damage and loss of life. For example, in early 2019, the extractive industry experienced a large-scale tailings dam failure at an unaffiliated mine in Brazil, which resulted in numerous fatalities and caused extensive property, environmental and reputational damage. Recognizing this risk, Newmont continues to review and refine our existing practices and, as a member of the International Council on Mining & Metals ("ICMM"), commits to implementation of the GISTM. Work is underway to bring all TSFs in our portfolio to substantial conformance with the GISTM by August 2025, and no assurance can be given that conformance will be achieved by such deadline. Conformance with the GISTM as well as improved understanding of our tailings risks and requisite mitigation remains on-going and has and may continue to result in increases to our estimated sustaining costs and closure costs for existing tailings facilities. Despite these efforts, no assurance can be given that TSF failure events will not occur in the future.

A geotechnical failure of a TSF, dam, or pit slope could result in limited or restricted access to mine sites, suspension of operations, government investigations, regulatory actions or penalties, increased monitoring costs, remediation costs and other impacts, which could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. For example, in December 2023 the Company temporarily suspended its processing operations at Telfer in Western Australia after cracking and sinkholes were detected on an internal embankment of the site’s TSF.

A failure to safely resolve any unexpected problems relating to these conditions at a commercially reasonable cost may result in damage to infrastructure or equipment or injury to personnel and may adversely impact the Company’s operating results and financial position. See also the risk factors under the heading “We may experience increased costs or losses resulting from the hazards and uncertainties associated with mining” and “Damage to our reputation may result in decreased investor confidence, challenges in maintaining positive community relations and can pose additional obstacles to our ability to develop our projects, which may result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and growth prospects” and “Our operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations.”

Our operations may be adversely affected by rising energy prices or energy shortages.

Our mining operations and development projects require significant amounts of energy. Some of our operations are in remote locations requiring long-distance transmission of power, and in some locations we compete with other companies for access to third party power generators or electrical supply networks. A disruption in the transmission of energy, inadequate energy transmission infrastructure or the termination of any of our energy supply contracts could interrupt our energy supply and adversely affect our operations.

Our principal energy sources are purchased electricity, diesel fuel, gasoline, heavy fuel oil, natural gas and coal. Increasing global demand for energy, and the limited growth of new energy sources are affecting the price and supply of energy. A variety of factors, including higher energy usage in emerging market economies, actual and proposed taxation of carbon emissions as well as concerns surrounding unrest and the war in Ukraine and conflict elsewhere, could result in increased demand or limited supply of energy and/or sharply escalating diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas and other energy prices. Availability of renewable power sources or conflicting government regulations, such as the proposed reform of the energy market in Mexico or Australia, may have an impact on our ability to meet our reduction targets with a specific timeline. Changes in energy laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, restrictions on energy supply and increased energy prices could negatively impact our operating costs and cash flow.

As our operations move to reduce our GHG emissions, renewable power sources and technology at our operations will continue to be evaluated and implemented. Such transitions are likely to require capital expenditures and may result in additional costs. Certain of our operations may also become more dependent upon access to electrical power supply as certain mines advance projects aimed at the electrification of large haulage fleets. The availability to access renewable power (with greater competition) and the readiness of technology to support decarbonization with the timeframe of the 2030 and 2050 targets remains subject to uncertainties, which could impact ability to achieve targets. See the risk factor above under the heading “Our operations are subject to a range of risks related to transitioning the business to meet regulatory, societal and investor expectations for operating in a low-carbon economy”.

Our operations are dependent on the availability of sufficient water supplies and subject to water-related risks.

We recognize the right to clean, safe water and that reliable water supplies are vital for hygiene, sanitation, livelihoods and the health of the environment. Water is also critical to our business, and the increasing pressure on water resources requires us to consider both current and future conditions in our management approach. We have set annual water efficiency targets at each of our operating sites. Additionally, we aim to achieve ambitious long-term water stewardship actions, which integrate our operations and value chain and support collective management of water through external partnerships and collaborations. A failure to meet our water targets and/or societal or investor expectations could also result in damage to our reputation, decreased investor confidence and challenges in maintaining positive community relations, which can pose additional obstacles to our ability to develop our projects, which may result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and growth prospects.

Across the globe, water is a shared and regulated resource. Newmont operates in areas where watersheds are under stress with limited supply, increasing population and water demand, and impacted water in various forms. Increasing pressure on water use may occur due to in-migration of communities and increased populations in proximity to our operations. Although each of our operations currently has sufficient water rights, claims and contracts to cover its operational demands, we cannot predict the potential outcome of pending or future legal proceedings or community negotiations relating to our water rights, claims, contracts and uses.

Water shortages and surplus may also result from weather or climate impacts outside of the Company’s control. Changes in the quantity of water, whether in excess or deficient amounts, may impact exploration and development activities, mining and processing operations, water management and treatment facilities, tailings storage facilities, closure and reclamation efforts, and may increase levels of dust land erosion and wildfires in dry conditions, and increase slope instability and the risk of water ingress in the case of prolonged wet conditions.

Our Peñasquito and CC&V operations are situated in areas with high baseline water stress. CC&V in Colorado must purchase water supply in order to meet site needs and augmentation requirements. Peñasquito in Mexico takes its water supply from the Cedros Aquifer which has limited and declining yield as it is located in a dry and arid area that is prone to drought, and also is relied upon by nearby communities as a water supply for drinking water and agriculture. The water supply at Peñasquito is thus subject to a significant degree of regulatory and community scrutiny, and Peñasquito has made long-term commitments to provide safe community water supplies.

Seasonality and changes in the levels of rainfall can also impact our operations. For example, in January 2023, our Tanami site in Australia experienced unexpected and significant rain resulting in flooding and road closure limiting our ability to get supplies to the site, causing mill backup and impacts to production. Similarly, at Boddington in Australia severe weather and heavy rainfall at Boddington caused delays and impacted productivity the third quarter of 2021 and 2022. There is also a risk at Boddington that extended below average rainfall or the occurrence of drought in southwest Australia could impact raw water supply for the site. While we have incorporated systems to address the impact of the dry season and water shortages as part of our operating plans, we can make no assurances that those systems will be sufficient to address all shortages in water supply, which could result in production and processing interruptions.

In 2023, Lihir’s performance was impacted following extreme rainfall limiting pit access and causing material handling issues at the crushers. Lihir has also experienced reduced milling rates due to limited raw water supply to the plant driven by drought conditions experienced across the New Ireland Province in PNG. Lihir continues to progress options to improve its water management resilience, including improving its internal water recycling and identifying additional water sources and storage options. In addition, Cadia has previously experienced water scarcity from drought conditions in 2019 which resulted in a reduction in water use to assist the Orange community response to the drought.

Increased precipitation and severe storm events may potentially impact tailings storage facilities in the future by exceeding water management capacity, overtopping the facility, and/or undermining the geotechnical stability of the structure. We have experienced impacts at various sites in recent years due to heavy rainfall and severe storms. For example, in 2022, Yanacocha experienced heavy rainfall, above average historical levels, which resulted in significant water balance stress and required active emergency management. Refer to Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading Environmental Matters - Minera Yanacocha S.R.L, for additional information. Increased amounts of water may also result in flooding of mine pits, maintenance and storage facilities; or may exceed current water management and treatment capacity to store and treat water, physical conditions resulting in an unintended overflow and discharge either on or off of the mine site property. See the risk factor above under the heading “Our operations are subject to a range of risks related to transitioning the business to meet regulatory, societal and investor expectations for operating in a low-carbon economy” for additional information.

Operations have identified seepage from infrastructure (tailings, waste rock and ore stockpiles) that may have an impact on water resources (groundwater and/or surface water); for example, seepage has been detected in the shallow and deep aquifers underlying the tailings facility at Red Chris. We are currently managing this risk through monitoring, collection and treatment systems. There is a risk that the seepage could have an impact on beneficial use of groundwater resulting in increased requirements for collection and treatment as well as the potential requirement to provide alternative water sources. See also the risk factor under the heading “Our Company and the mining industry are facing continued geotechnical, geothermal and hydrogeological challenges, which could adversely impact our production and profitability.”

Laws and regulations may be introduced in some jurisdictions in which we operate which could limit our access to sufficient water resources in our operations, thus adversely affecting our operations. Additionally, laws, regulations and permit requirements focused on water management and discharge requirements are becoming increasingly stringent and may continue to require additional water management activities and/or water treatment during operation and into closure. For example, at our Peñasquito operation, regulators have asserted non-conformance of water wells and subsequent use of ground water. A failure to resolve such allegations of non-compliance with regulators could result in loss of permits and restriction of such wells, which could impact our ability to operate the site. We are also seeing increasingly stringent regulations of surface and groundwater at a number of our sites resulting in increased monitoring and potentially the need for pump back systems and treatment in the future. New requirements and regulation have resulted or may result in increased costs and could negatively impact our operating costs and cash flows in the future.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, refer to Notes 6 and 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the risk factor under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made.”

Our operations and projects are subject to risks related to our relationships and/or agreements with local communities and laws for the protection of cultural heritage.

The Company’s relationships with the communities that are located near its operations or on whose land it operates are essential to the success of its existing operations, exploration activities and the construction and development of its projects. A failure to manage relationships with such communities may lead to local dissatisfaction which, in turn, may lead to interruptions to the Company’s operations, exploration activities and development projects. Specific challenges in community relations include community concerns over management of increased traffic, migratory workforces, environmental impacts and resource depletion, social, environmental and cultural heritage impacts, increasing expectations regarding the level of benefits that communities receive, benefits sharing with Indigenous peoples’ governments, concerns focused on the level of transparency regarding the payment of compensation and the provision of other benefits to affected landholders and the wider community. In particular, opposition by Indigenous communities to the Company’s activities may require modifications to or preclude operation or development of its projects or may require entry into additional agreements with Indigenous communities, which may result in additional costs. Newmont’s current and future operations are subject to a risk that one or more Indigenous communities in the locations in which we may oppose continued operation, further development or new development of its projects or operations. Claims and protests driven by such opposition may disrupt or delay activities, including permitting, at the Newmont’s operations and projects. The negotiation and review of agreements, including components such as business development, participation, co-management and compensation and other benefits, involve complicated and sensitive issues, associated expectations and often competing interests. The nature and subject matter of these negotiations may result in community unrest which, in some instances, may lead to interruptions in our exploration programs, operational activities or delays to project implementation or development.

Additionally, the evolving obligations of governments and Indigenous people under international, national and local legislation and international conventions pertaining to the rights of Indigenous people may impact Newmont’s operations and projects. For example, the Government of British Columbia, Canada has adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019) to

Table of Contents

implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ("UNDRIP") in British Columbia, which may impact Red Chris and Brucejack.

Our operations are also subject to laws and regulations that provide for the protection and management of cultural heritage in the jurisdictions in which we operate. For example, following the destruction of Indigenous heritage sites at Juukan Gorge in Western Australia in 2020 and the inquiry and reports issued by the Commonwealth Parliament Joint Standing Committee on Northern Australia in 2021, mining companies have come under heightened scrutiny regarding cultural heritage management, including, for example, with respect to their governance and management processes and procedures around cultural heritage, engagement with Indigenous communities and protection of cultural landscapes. Although the parliamentary inquiry focused on Indigenous cultural heritage, laws to protect and manage cultural heritage also cover non-Indigenous (historic) heritage. Another example, in Western Australia, where Telfer and Havieron, in which Newmont holds a 70% interest, are located, a new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021 (WA) came into force in 2023, replacing the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) and introducing new offenses and increased penalties aimed at better protecting Aboriginal cultural heritage in Western Australia. In 2023, the WA Premier announced that the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021 (WA) will be completely repealed, with an amended Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) replacing it.

Further, cultural heritage in PNG is protected under the National Cultural Property (Preservation) Act 1965 (PNG). The main government bodies responsible for enforcing this Act are the National Museum and Art Gallery of PNG and the National Cultural Commission. The Lihir operation has a culturally significant site called the Ailaya Rock, located near the mining operations. Significant civil reinforcement work is being undertaken to protect the surrounding area's structural integrity. A failure to maintain the integrity of the surrounding area could inadvertently damage the site, resulting in impacts to community relations and reputation.

Newmont’s operations could inadvertently disturb protected cultural heritage assets, resulting in international scrutiny by investors and non-governmental organizations, negative impact on shareholder value, compensation and/or offset claims, increased costs to projects and operations, delays impacting construction or production or project development, court action or other legal proceedings and lasting reputational damage.

Risks Related to the Jurisdictions in Which We Operate

Our operations are subject to risks of doing business in multiple jurisdictions.

Exploration, development, production and mine closure activities are subject to regional, political, economic, community and other risks of doing business in multiple jurisdictions, including:

•Potential instability of foreign governments and changes in government policies, including relating to or in response to changes of U.S. laws or foreign policies;

•Expropriation or nationalization of property;

•Restrictions on the ability to pay dividends offshore or to otherwise repatriate funds;

•Restrictions on the ability of local operating companies to sell gold and other metals offshore for U.S. dollars, or on the ability of such companies to hold U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies in offshore bank accounts;

•Import and export regulations, including restrictions on the export of gold, copper, silver, lead and/or zinc;

•Disadvantages relating to submission to the jurisdiction of foreign courts or arbitration panels or enforcement or appeals of judgments at foreign courts or arbitration panels against a sovereign nation within its own territory;

•Changes in laws or regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including in changes resulting from changes in political administrations;

•Risk of increased taxation related to impacts to government revenue as a result of challenging socioeconomic conditions, including recessions and/or in connection with heath and community emergencies, such as pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks (including COVID-19 and related variants), and climate events;

•Fines, fees, and sanctions imposed for failure to comply with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate;

•Risk of loss due to inability to access our properties or operations;

•Other risks arising out of foreign sovereignty over the areas in which our operations are conducted, including risks inherent in contracts with government owned entities such as unilateral cancellation or renegotiation of contracts, licenses or other mining rights;

•Delays in obtaining or renewing, or the inability to obtain, maintain or renew, necessary governmental permits, mining or operating leases and other agreements and/or approvals;

Table of Contents

•Risk of loss due to civil strife, acts of war, guerrilla activities, insurrection and terrorism;

•Claims for increased mineral royalties or ownership interests by local or Indigenous communities;

•Increased expectations of local Indigenous communities for profit or other benefit sharing;

•Risk of loss due to criminal activities such as trespass, blockade, local artisanal or illegal mining, organized crime by drug cartels, theft and vandalism;

•Delays in obtaining or renewing collective bargaining or certain labor agreements, workforce unionization, or demand for profit sharing;

•Disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to the rigorous laws and regulations of the U.S. or other jurisdictions, including without limitation, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and the Dodd-Frank Act;

•Increases in training and other costs and challenges relating to requirements by governmental entities to employ the nationals of the country in which a particular operation is located;

•Increased financing costs;

•Currency fluctuations, particularly in countries with high inflation;

•Foreign exchange controls;

•Increases in costs relating to, or restrictions or prohibitions on, the use of ports for concentrate storage and shipping, such as in relation to our Boddington operation where use of alternative ports is not currently economical, or in relation to our ability to procure economically feasible ports for developing projects;

•Risk of disruption, damage or failure of information technology systems, and risk of loss and operational delays due to impacts to operational technology systems, such as due to cyber-attacks, malicious software computer viruses, security breaches, design failures and natural disasters;

•Risk of loss due to disease, such as malaria or the zika virus, and other potential medical endemic or pandemic issues, such as Ebola or COVID-19, as a result of the potential related impact to employees, disruption to operations, supply chain delays, trade restrictions and impact on economic activity in affected countries or regions; and

•Disadvantage and risk of loss due to the limitations of certain local health systems and infrastructure to contain diseases and potential endemic health issues.

Consequently, our exploration, development and production activities may be affected by these and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, some of which could materially adversely affect our financial position or results of operations.

New or changing legislation and tax risks in certain operating jurisdictions could negatively affect us.

We have operations and conduct business in a number of jurisdictions, which may increase our susceptibility to sudden tax changes. For instance, a 12% export duty was imposed by the Argentina government in 2018, revised down to 8% thereafter, however, with the election of new government in 2023, the rate is now currently 0% with the expectation it will increase again to 8% in the near future upon the ratification of new laws awaiting approval by the Argentina government. The state of New South Wales, Australia, passed 2023 legislation that imposes an increased stamp duty which materially affected the Newcrest transaction. Also in Australia, the proposed introduction of a Debt Deduction Creation Rule is currently being considered by Parliament, which could have the potential to limit the tax deductibility of intercompany interest expense. 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. Also, in Mexico, a 2021 tax reform bill proposed federal fees on revenue generated from mining which could impact our operations if passed. Furthermore, a new Economic Plan for 2022 (the "Proposal") was enacted. While the changes under the Proposal are not substantive in nature (in the sense that they do not create new taxes or increase applicable rates), they may increase the future cost of our compliance and pose additional uncertainties in application of the law. In the United States, at the federal and state level, regulatory changes which may be implemented in the area of tax reform remain uncertain and may adversely affect companies in the mining sector. For example, NGM could be impacted by the resolutions brought to the State of Nevada Legislature to amend the State Constitution to increase mining taxes. An example of this was the passing of Assembly Bill 495 in 2021 that results in a new excise tax on mining companies engaged in the business of extracting gold and silver in the state of Nevada. In 2024, Pillar II is set to take effect. The Pillar II agreement was signed by 138 countries with the intent to equalize corporate tax around the world by implementing a global minimum tax of 15%. As Newmont primarily does business in jurisdictions with a tax rate greater than 15%, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to its financial statements. A number of changes in the laws, regulations and policies in PNG have recently been proposed or are currently being considered. See the risk factor under the heading “Our operations at Lihir and Wafi-Golpu in PNG are subject to political and regulatory risks and other uncertainties”. Taxation laws and other regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate are complex, subject to varying interpretations and applications by the relevant tax authorities and

Table of Contents

subject to changes and revisions in the ordinary course. It is difficult to predict whether proposed changes to regulations will be passed or to what extent they will impact the Company. Any additional and/or unexpected taxes imposed on us could have a material and adverse impact on our Company. See also the risk factor under the heading “Our operations are subject to a range of risks related to transitioning the business to meet regulatory, societal and investor expectations for operating in a low-carbon economy” for a discussion of uncertainties and potential tax increases in connection with climate change considerations.

Changes in mining or investment policies or shifts in political and social attitudes in the jurisdictions in which we operate may adversely affect our operations or profitability.

Our operations may be affected in a number of ways by laws and regulations related, but not limited to: restrictions on production; price controls; export controls; import restrictions, such as restrictions applicable to, among other things, equipment, services and supplies, currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of mineral claims, environmental legislation, land use, surface land access, land claims of local communities, water use, and mine safety. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as partners with carried or other interests, any of which may adversely affect our operations or profitability.

In addition, when governments struggle with deficits and concerns over the potential and actual effects of depressed economic conditions (which occurred in the past in connection with COVID-19 impacts), many of them have in the past, and may in the future, target the mining and metals sector in order to raise revenue. Governments are continually assessing the fiscal terms of the economic rent for a mining company to exploit resources in their countries. Numerous countries have implemented changes to their mining regimes that reflect increased government control over or participation in the mining sector, including, but not limited to, changes of law affecting foreign ownership and takeovers, mandatory government participation in mining enterprises, taxation and royalties, working conditions, rates of exchange, exchange controls, exploration licensing, export duties, requirements to sell to the government, repatriation of income or return of capital, environmental protection, as well as requirements intended to boost the local economy, including usage of local goods and employment of local and community staff or contractors, among other benefits to be provided to local residents. The effects of the various requirements and uncertainties related to the economic risks of operating in foreign jurisdictions cannot be accurately predicted and could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Some concern exists with respect to investments in parts of the world where civil unrest, war, nationalist movements, political violence or economic crises are possible. These countries may also pose heightened risks of expropriation of assets, business interruption, increased taxation or unilateral modification of concessions and contracts. We do not maintain insurance policies against political risk. Occurrence of events for which we are not insured may affect our results of operations and financial position.

Our operations at Yanacocha and the development of our Conga project in Peru are subject to political and social unrest risks.

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”), including the mining operations at Yanacocha and the Conga project in Peru, has been the target of local political and community protests, some of which blocked the road between the Yanacocha mine and Conga project complexes and the City of Cajamarca in Peru and resulted in vandalism and equipment damage. While recently roadblocks and protests have diminished and focused on local political activism and labor disputes, we cannot predict whether similar or more significant incidents will occur in the future. The recurrence of significant political or community opposition or protests could continue to adversely affect the Conga Project’s development, other new projects in the area and the continued operation of Yanacocha.

Construction activities on our Conga project were suspended in 2011, at the request of Peru’s central government following protests in Cajamarca by anti-mining activists led by the regional president. At the request of the Peruvian central government, the environmental impact assessment prepared in connection with the project was reviewed by independent experts in an effort to resolve allegations around the environmental viability of Conga. This review concluded that the environmental impact assessment complied with international standards and provided recommendations to improve water management. Based on the Company's internal project portfolio evaluation process, we have reprioritized other projects ahead of the Conga project, and therefore do not anticipate developing Conga in the next ten years. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the project’s development timeline, we have allocated our exploration and development capital to other projects in our portfolio. As a result, the Conga project is currently in care and maintenance and we will continue to evaluate long-term options to progress development of the Conga project. Should the Company be unable to develop the Conga project or conclude that future development is not in the best interest of the business, a future impairment charge may result.

The prior Central Government of Peru supported responsible mining as a vehicle for the growth and future development of Peru. However, following the presidential election in 2021, there has been considerable political unrest in Peru. In a close and contested election, Pedro Castillo was declared the president-elect of Peru in July 2021, which resulted in a period of protests, unrest and uncertainty around the political and social environment in Peru and Cajamarca. Amidst political turmoil and instability, Castillo made numerous changes to his cabinet, including ministers of mining, work and interior, and of prime ministers. Castillo was ultimately removed from office in late 2022 due to his attempt to dissolve the legislative body and install an emergency government. Political turmoil and division has continued in Peru as protest and demonstrations against the current President Dina Boluarte escalated in early 2023 resulting in clashes with security forces and violence.

Table of Contents

The current Central Government’s legislative priorities and support for responsible mining in Peru remains uncertain. Previous regional governments of Cajamarca and other political parties actively opposed certain mining projects in the past, including by protests, community demands and road blockages, which may occur again in the future. We are unable to predict the positions that will be taken by the Central or regional government and neighboring communities in the future and whether such positions or changes in law will affect current operations and new projects at Yanacocha or Conga. Risks related to mining and foreign investment under the new administration include, without limitation, risks to mining concessions, land tenure and permitting, increased taxes and royalties, nationalization of mining assets and increased labor regulations, environmental and other regulatory requirements. Any change in government positions or laws on these issues could adversely affect the assets and operations of Yanacocha or Conga, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. Additionally, the inability to develop Conga or operate or expand at Yanacocha could have an adverse impact on our growth and production in the region. See also the risk factor under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” and refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the Company’s interest in Yanacocha.

Our Merian operation in Suriname is subject to political and economic risks.

We hold a 75% interest in the Merian gold mine (“Merian”) in the mid-eastern part of Suriname. Suriname has experienced political instability and uncertainty in the past which may continue in future years. Suriname is faced with high debts to foreign creditors, significant inflation rates and has experienced a hyperinflationary economy. Significant devaluation of the Surinamese dollar against the U.S. dollar in recent years has resulted in an increase of the prices of certain goods and services within Suriname, including without limitation, the price of fuel, which had been subsidized by successive governments. The government of Suriname recently passed a new law to introduce Value Added Tax, which came into effect on January 1, 2023 and has drastically increased the cost of living and negatively impacts the purchasing power of the residents of Suriname, including our employees. These impacts and negative economic trends can cause social unrest, which may present risks for our operations in Suriname.

Operations and development in Suriname are governed by a mineral agreement with the Republic of Suriname. The mineral agreement was approved by parliament and requires approval by parliament to change. However, in 2021, the government made requests for prepayment of taxes and special solidarity payments in light of budgetary concerns, it is possible that the government may request changes to the mineral agreement in the future. While the government is generally considered by the Company to be mining friendly, it is possible that the current or future government may adopt substantially different policies, make changes in taxation treatment or regulations, take arbitrary action which might halt operations, increase costs, or otherwise impact mining and exploration rights and/or permits, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and/or financial condition.

The government of Suriname previously exercised an option to participate in a fully-funded 25 percent equity ownership stake in Merian. Suriname manages its participation through Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (“Staatsolie”), a Surinamese corporation with the Republic of Suriname as sole shareholder. If Staatsolie does not have sufficient funds or borrowing ability to make their capital commitments in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, our operations in Suriname could be impacted. See the risk factor under the heading “Future funding requirements may affect our business, our ability to pay cash dividends or our ability to engage in share repurchase transactions.” Earlier in this section under “Risks Related to Our Business”.

Our operations at Ahafo and Akyem in Ghana are subject to political, economic and other risks.

Newmont operates in Ghana pursuant to a Revised Investment Agreement ratified by Ghana’s Parliament in 2015, which established a fixed fiscal and legal regime, including fixed royalty and tax rates, for Newmont operations in Ghana. The financial and tax stability periods established by such agreements expire as early as 2025 for Ahafo and 2027 for Akyem. The tenure of the Revised Investments Agreement is linked to the mining leases. The Akyem mining leases are due to expire in January 2025 and a renewal application has been submitted to the Minerals Commission. The Republic of Ghana has experienced worsening socioeconomic conditions in recent years. The Ghanaian cedi has experienced significant depreciation with inflation accelerating to 54.1% at the end of 2022. Ghana’s credit rating worsened to speculative grade, at near default to default levels, as the Ghanaian Finance Ministry announced suspension of debt service payments in December 2022 on the majority of its external debt, including commercial and bilateral loans, and that Ghana was seeking to restructure its debt. Efforts in early 2023 to put in place a domestic debt exchange program have faced setbacks from pension funds and by individual bond holders leading to amended terms. Continued economic recession and/or unfavorable macroeconomic indicators have also resulted in pressures from the Government of Ghana to obtain more revenue and benefits from mining companies on the back of anti-mining sentiment and perceived inequities that the industry is not contributing its fair share. To address budgetary deficits, the Government of Ghana initiated measures to generate additional revenue from the mining industry and other sectors of the economy as it attempted to increase revenue collection through various tax audits and investigations, proposed new fees, increased revenue and tax initiatives and other vehicles, such as the Growth and Sustainability Levy, and in 2024, Emissions Levy and VAT on electricity. While the second half of 2023 experienced an improvement in the macroeconomic situation with inflation reducing to 23.2% in December 2023, the Ghanaian cedi being relatively stable, with support from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in early 2024, significant economic risks remain. Other risks include impacts to supply chain, restrictions and local procurement requirements under local content regulations, increase in key commodity prices, more restrictive local banking requirements including requirements for repatriation of proceeds to banks domiciled in Ghana, limitations on capacity of banks to provide reclamation bonds, requests for further local employment requirements, requests for contract renegotiation and increases in contract rates and other costs. Additionally, the government may grant artisanal mining rights or

Table of Contents

alternative mining rights, such as sand and gravel, in locations in which the Company has land rights, but no active operations, impacting the Company’s non-operational land positions. Economic setbacks and anti-mining sentiment can also result in an increase in community frustration and friction with artisanal small-scale mining resulting in conflicts, which can negatively impact our operations in Ghana.

Our operations in Argentina are susceptible to risk as a result of economic and political instability in Argentina and labor unrest.

There continue to be risks relating to the uncertain and unpredictable political and economic environment in Argentina, especially at the provincial level in Santa Cruz where our Cerro Negro mine is located. In 2023, a new National President and a new Governor of Santa Cruz province were elected. The recent elections have resulted in further uncertainty, significant political change to the country and related protests. The new administration is assessing, and in some cases have already enacted, changes to address the economic challenges in Argentina. Inflation remains a challenge in Argentina. Argentina’s central bank instituted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency, and is also possible to announce further measures in early 2024. For information on Argentina’s foreign currency controls and their effect on our operations, see the section titled “Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Maintaining operating revenues in Argentine pesos could expose us to the risks of peso devaluation and high domestic inflation.

In recent years, we experienced work stoppages by miners represented by unions at the Cerro Negro Mine. Disruptions may arise again in the future with the unions at the Cerro Negro mine or with the local communities and unions that could adversely affect access to, and operations at, the Cerro Negro Mine. For more information see the risk factor under the heading “Our business depends on good relations with our employees.”

Our operations at Lihir and Wafi-Golpu in PNG are subject to political and regulatory risks and other uncertainties.

Our Lihir operation, which comprises an open pit mine that produces gold doré, is located on the island of Aniolam, PNG. We also hold a 50% interest in a joint venture that owns the Wafi-Golpu exploration project (“Wafi-Golpu” and such joint venture, “WGJV”), which is located in the province of Morobe, PNG. The current PNG administration, led by Prime Minister James Marape, has stated that it wants to increase benefits for PNG from extractive projects. Potential policy changes could include introducing a new production sharing regime for minerals and oil/gas, amending or replacing the PNG Mining Act of 1992, introducing domestic processing/refining requirements, changing the level and manner of local equity participation in projects and introducing new taxation regimes, banking and foreign exchange controls and/or controls pertaining to the holding of cash and remittance of profits and capital to parent companies. Any such change could impact our operating results and financial condition.

In 2020, the PNG Government announced that the special mining lease ("SML") for the Porgera mining operation (a major mining operation in PNG which was owned and operated by the Porgera JV and not Newcrest) would not be renewed. It subsequently amended the Mining Act and issued a new SML for Porgera to Kumul Mineral Holdings Limited (a State-owned company). Since taking this decision, the PNG Government has been working with the Porgera JV participants and other key stakeholders to establish new arrangements for restarting and operating Porgera. During 2023, the parties signed various agreements and the Government passed specific enabling legislation for a restart of operations at Porgera under new commercial terms. The restart occurred in December 2023. The PNG Government has stated that the decision not to renew the Porgera SML is specifically related to environmental damages claims and resettlement at the Porgera mine and has no bearing on any other operations, including Lihir, or advanced exploration projects, including Wafi-Golpu.

In 2020, the PNG government prepared and submitted to the National Parliament of PNG (the “PNG Parliament”) a proposed new organic law to introduce a production sharing regime for the mining sector. The proposed organic law will require the approval of a two thirds majority of the PNG Parliament and, if passed in its current proposed form, purports to transfer ownership of minerals from the State of PNG to state-owned entities who would then be responsible for negotiating mineral production sharing arrangements. As currently drafted, the bill containing the proposed organic law will not apply to Lihir, but could potentially apply to Wafi-Golpu if a mining lease or mining development contract is not in place before the effective date for the proposed organic law. Prime Minister Marape has indicated that the law is intended to become effective in 2025. The bill is yet to be debated in the PNG Parliament.

On October 29, 2021, Prime Minister Marape announced proposed legislation which, if enacted, would regulate the export of gold from PNG and require that mining companies operating in PNG refine gold with a new national mint. At this stage, it is unclear whether this proposed legislation will become law and, if so, when it would take effect. In addition, in June 2023, the PNG government released a new national gold bullion policy setting out the government’s objective of establishing a domestic gold bullion program to refine gold, hold gold reserves and eventually enter into trading in the world gold market. It is unclear when or how the new national gold bullion policy will be implemented, and how the policy will interact with the legislation proposed in 2021. Under the terms of the Lihir mining development contract, we may be required to refine a portion of our Lihir gold production within PNG if certain quality and security requirements are met and the terms offered are commercially competitive, but it is otherwise free to enter into arms’ length refining contracts with refineries outside of PNG.

The PNG government has also announced that it is considering replacing the current PNG Income Tax Act with a new Income Tax Act (the “NITA”) with limited consultation undertaken to date. The latest draft legislation provides that the NITA will come into force from January 1, 2025. It remains uncertain as to whether existing tax attributes of Lihir and Wafi-Golpu will be transitioned under

Table of Contents

the new law due to the lack of transitional provisions, key regulations and other key ancillary pieces of legislation. Any adverse changes to the tax laws and regulations will affect Lihir because its Mining Development Contract does not provide protection against income tax law change. Such changes may also affect Wafi-Golpu depending on the terms of any project agreements that may be entered into with the PNG Government.

There is also the potential for legal challenges to the Wafi-Golpu permitting process as it progresses towards completion, including by PNG provincial governments, landowner groups and civil society organizations. For example, in March 2021 and December 2022, the governor of Morobe Province and certain residents of the surrounding areas of Wafi-Golpu, respectively, commenced judicial review applications against the State of PNG, challenging the December 2020 grant of the environmental permit for Wafi-Golpu. Both reviews are still to be heard and determined. Any such legal challenges may adversely impact the Wafi-Golpu permitting process. In addition, WGJV is currently engaging with the State of PNG to progress the permitting of Wafi-Golpu and has commenced discussions relating to its application for a special mining lease, which was submitted to the PNG Mineral Resources Authority in 2016. In April 2023, WGJV signed a Framework Memorandum of Understanding with the State of PNG, which confirmed the parties’ intent to proceed with the project at Wafi-Golpu, subject to finalizing the permitting process and approvals of the boards of both Newcrest and Harmony Gold, and progress toward signing a mining development contract, which is a prerequisite to granting a special mining lease. The timing for completing the discussions is uncertain and there is no assurance of the outcomes.

Changes in the laws, regulations and policies described above, or to the manner in which they are interpreted or applied to us, may also adversely impact our ability to extend the Lihir special mining lease upon its expiration in 2035.

Our operations in Canada are subject to political and regulatory risks and other uncertainties.

First Nations have made claims in respect of Indigenous rights and title to substantial portions of land and water across Canada, which could impact our exploration projects, and operations at Red Chris, Porcupine, Musselwhite, Éléonore and Brucejack. Some of these claims are made outside of treaty and other processes. The effect of such claims on any particular area of land will not be determinable until the exact nature of historical use, occupancy and rights to such property have been clarified, whether by a decision of the Canadian courts or definition in a treaty or otherwise. First Nations throughout Canada are seeking settlements with respect to these claims, including compensation from governments, and are seeking rights to regulate activities by companies within their traditional territories. The effect of these claims cannot be estimated at this time. The federal and provincial governments in Canada have been seeking to negotiate settlements with respective groups in order to resolve many of these claims, and the government routinely delegates procedural aspects of its duty to consult the First Nations to project proponents, particularly with respect to the permitting process.

We hold a 70% interest in the Red Chris operation, which comprises an open pit mine that produces gold, copper and silver concentrate, located in British Columbia, Canada. Our Brucejack operation, which comprises an underground mine that produces gold/silver doré and flotation concentrate and hosts the Valley of the Kings high-grade gold deposit, is also located in British Columbia, Canada. In British Columbia, as well as in Canada more generally, the nature and extent of Indigenous rights and title remains the subject of active debate, claims and litigation issues surrounding Indigenous title and rights remain ongoing.

In addition, the government of British Columbia has adopted the UNDRIP and committed to implement UNDRIP in British Columbia, with federal government following suit in 2021 where UNDRIP became federal law in 2021. The provincial and federal legislations commits to systematically review the province’s laws for alignment with UNDRIP principles, while also encouraging new agreements with Indigenous groups that are intended to address outstanding governance questions around the nature of Indigenous rights and title interests in Canada and in British Columbia. In November 2023 a consent-based decision making agreement under section 7 of the UNDRIP was entered into between the government of British Columbia and the Tahltan Central Government (“TCG”) of the Tahltan Nation outlining the process for consent-based decision making for the review of substantial changes to the environmental assessment certificate for the Red Chris mine. The processes outlined in this agreement will apply to changes to the Red Chris environmental assessment certificate relating to the proposed development and operation of the Red Chris block cave mine. Failure or delays in implementing the agreement or to obtain prior informed consent of the TCG may impact the proposed development of the Red Chris block cave mine.

Additionally, several First Nations in British Columbia have recently launched challenges against the constitutionality of the “free entry” mineral staking regime in the province and the government of British Columbia pledged to reform the Mineral Tenure Act, which governs the acquisition and holding of mineral tenures in British Columbia, in consultation with First Nations and First Nation organizations. In September 2023, the Supreme Court of British Columbia held that the province of British Columbia has a duty to consult Indigenous groups when registering mineral claims under the Mineral Tenure Act within their traditional territories. The court suspended the implementation of its declaration for 18 months to facilitate the establishment of a mineral claims regime that allows for consultation with Indigenous groups or for the government to amend the Mineral Tenure Act, if necessary. The impacts of these developments on the acquisition and renewal of mineral tenures in British Columbia are not yet known.

Risks Related to Our Workforce

Our business depends on good relations with our employees.

Production at our mines is dependent upon the efforts of our employees and, consequently, our maintenance of good relationships with our employees. Due to union activities or other employee actions, we could experience labor disputes, work stops or other disruptions in production that could adversely affect us. For example, in recent years, there have been work stoppages by miners represented by unions at our Peñasquito, Cerro Negro and Merian mines, which have disrupted operations. Certain regions in which we operate, including Central and Latin America, have witnessed notable trends in labor relations, including increasing emphasis on workers' rights and labor protections. Governments and civil society organizations have been advocating for improved labor standards, wages and working conditions, leading to the implementation of new labor laws and regulations in a number of jurisdictions. Additionally, collective bargaining has gained prominence as a means to negotiate and secure favorable terms for workers.

At December 31, 2023, various unions represented approximately 31.2% of our employee workforce worldwide. In 2022, Newmont implemented a new employment model in Ghana converting permanent employees into two-year fixed term contracts. Although 99.8% of eligible employees accepted the new fixed term contract and, received severance for their years of service, following implementation of the new employment model, the two unions requested and were granted new collective bargaining certificates from Ghana’s Chief Labor Officer for bargaining rights for the class of workers to be represented. The two unions are litigating for bargaining rights to be determined based on membership numbers resulting in targeted efforts to increase membership and a writ of summons, which is expected to be heard in February 2024. In Peru, our two labor agreements expire in 2026 and 2027. In Suriname, the collective bargaining with the union for our Merian mine was entered into in 2023, and will expire in 2025. In Argentina where there are three district unions; one union has an expired agreement and another has an agreement in place until 2024. In Timmins, Ontario, we renegotiated a five-year collective bargaining agreement for our Porcupine mine with the United Steelworkers Union in October 2023, which will be in effect through October 2028. In Mexico, following negotiations, we reached a profit sharing agreement in 2022 whereby union represented workforce will participate in uncapped profit-sharing bonus up to 10%, which will result in increased labor costs in the future. The current collective bargaining agreement will expire on 2024. Red Chris has a unionized workforce and has a collective agreement in place from April 2023 until April 2025. One provision of the Red Chris Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”) is still being resolved through arbitration. There are existing employee enterprise bargaining agreements in place at Cadia and Telfer, which expire in 2025 and 2024, respectively. A failure to successfully enter into new contracts or resolve ongoing union complaints could result in future labor disputes, work stoppages or other disruptions in production that could adversely affect our operations and financial performance. Future disputes at the Company’s operations, projects or joint ventures may not be resolved without disruptions.

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 Mining 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. On June, 2023, the Company filed an injunction (Amparo) against the reforms, and was served with a provisional suspension to the applicability of several provisions of the Mining Reform on January 2024. Additionally, in February 2024, Mexico's president presented before parliament a series of new constitutional reforms. The proposed reforms include a possible ban on the granting of open pit mining concessions and banning activities related to the exploration, exploitation, benefit or use of minerals or metals using open pit mining methods, and potential limitations on water concessions in certain areas of the country. If proposed reforms were to be enacted it could materially impact our exploration activities and operations at Peñasquito and adversely impact 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 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 that represented a 100 percent increase equivalent to a 20 percent instead of 10 percent profit-sharing. The Company urged the

Table of Contents

Union to abide by the mutually agreed CBA and engaged in dialogue with the Union and the government, but the disagreement remained unresolved until October 2023 when the parties reached a definitive agreement to end the strike. Per the agreement, the Company will pay Peñasquito workers a fixed amount equivalent to approximately 60% of wages for the duration of the strike, and an additional bonus of two months’ wages to be paid out in the second quarter of 2024, given that the Peñasquito mine reported no profit in 2023 as a consequence of the strike. Additionally, as a part of a separate annual negotiation under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Company agreed to an annual salary increase of 8% effective as of August 1, 2023, which is in line with the Mexican mining industry wage increases for 2023.

From June 2023 to October 2023, Minera Peñasquito suspended operations, which negatively impacted production and revenue. Any failure to successfully resolve future union complaints could result in additional 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.

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 security 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.

We may not be able to operate successfully if we are unable to recruit, hire, retain and develop key personnel and a qualified and diverse workforce. In addition, we are dependent upon our employees being able to perform their jobs in a safe and respectful work environment.

We depend upon the services of a number of key executives and management personnel. Our success is also dependent on the contributions of our highly skilled and experienced workforce. Our ability to achieve our operating goals depends upon our ability to recruit, hire, retain and develop qualified and diverse personnel to execute on our strategy. We are fundamentally committed to creating and maintaining a work environment in which employees are treated fairly, with dignity, decency, respect and in accordance with all applicable laws. We recognize that bullying, sexual misconduct and sexual harassment, and harassment based on other protected categories, including race, have been prevalent in every industry, including the mining industry. Features of the mining industry, such as being a historically hierarchical and male-dominated culture, create risk factors for harmful workplace behavior. While we do not tolerate discrimination and harassment of any kind (including but not limited to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, age, or disability, among others), our policies and processes may not prevent or detect all potential harmful workplace behaviors. We occasionally identify or are apprised of information or allegations that certain employees, affiliates, agents or associated persons may have engaged in harmful behaviors and improper, inappropriate or unlawful conduct, including but not limited to bullying, discrimination and harassment. If the Company fails to maintain a safe, respectful and inclusive work environment, it could impact our ability to retain talent and maintain a diverse workforce and damage the Company’s reputation. There continues to be competition over highly skilled personnel in our industry. If we lose key personnel, or one or more members of our senior management team, and we fail to develop adequate succession plans, or if we fail to hire, retain and develop qualified and diverse employees, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be harmed. Additionally, if we fail to engage and retain new-to-Newmont employees who have joined the organization through the recent acquisition of Newcrest, it could negatively impact productivity, costs and business and operating results.

Our business is dependent upon our workforce being able to safely perform their jobs, including the potential for physical injuries or illness or fatality. If we experience periods where our employees are unable to perform their jobs for any reason, including as a result of illness (such as COVID-19), our operations could be adversely affected. See the risk factor under the heading “Our operations and business have in the past been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and may be materially and adversely impacted in the future by pandemics, epidemics and other health emergencies.” In addition to physical safety, protecting the psychological safety of our employees is necessary to maintaining a safe, respectful and inclusive work environment. If the Company fails to maintain a safe environment that is free of harassment, discrimination or bullying, it could adversely impact employee engagement, performance and productivity, result in potential legal claims and/or damage the Company’s reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations or adversely affect the Company’s market value. See also the risk factor under the heading "Damage to our reputation may result in decreased investor confidence, challenges in maintaining positive community relations and can pose additional obstacles to our ability to develop our projects, which may result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and growth prospects.”

Table of Contents

We rely on contractors to conduct a significant portion of our operations and construction projects.

A significant portion of our operations and construction projects are currently conducted in whole or in part by contractors. As a result, our operations are subject to a number of risks, some of which are outside our control, including:

•Negotiating agreements with contractors on acceptable terms;

•New legislation limiting or altering the ability to utilize contractors or outsourced resources;

•The inability to replace a contractor and its operating equipment in the event that either party terminates the agreement;

•Reduced control over those aspects of operations which are the responsibility of the contractor;

•Failure of a contractor to perform under its agreement;

•Interruption of operations or increased costs in the event that a contractor ceases its business due to insolvency or other unforeseen events;

•Failure of a contractor to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, to the extent it is responsible for such compliance;

•Problems of a contractor with managing its workforce, labor unrest or other employment issues; and

•Liability to third parties as a result of the actions of our contractors.

A failure of contractors to align employment practices with Newmont standards can also result in reactions from our employees and our workforce as they express solidarity with their counterparts in the field.

In addition, law and regulations relating to the use of contractors may vary in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and changes in legal and regulatory restrictions may also impact our ability to utilize contractors and outsourcing services. For example, new mining industry regulations came into effect in Ghana, Africa, which require that the supply of specific products and services, and certain roles, be reserved for citizens, which may limit the pool of available contractors and service providers and restrict our ability to utilize certain contractors. Additionally, the Mexican government enacted labor and tax laws in April 2021, significantly restricting certain subcontracting and outsourcing of personnel, which has required the conversion of certain contractors to employee status and resulted in increased labor costs. Further changes in law and the occurrence of one or more of these risks could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

Legal Risks

Our business is subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other extraterritorial and national anti-bribery laws and regulations, a breach or violation of which could lead to substantial sanctions and civil and criminal prosecution, as well as fines and penalties, litigation, loss of licenses or permits and other collateral consequences and reputational harm.

We operate in certain jurisdictions that have experienced governmental and private sector corruption to some degree, and, in certain circumstances, compliance with anti-bribery laws and heightened expectations of enforcement authorities may be in tension with certain local customs and practices. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other laws with extraterritorial reach, including the U.K. Bribery Act, and anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions in which we operate generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or other improper commercial advantage. We have a business integrity and compliance program which includes our Code of Conduct, Business Integrity Policy and other policies standards, and procedures, all of which mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws by the Company and its affiliates and their personnel, and also by third parties when they are engaged on our behalf. Our program also includes a well-publicized helpline for raising complaints (including the option for anonymity if the reporter so chooses), questions and concerns as well as processes for evaluating and investigating such concerns and assurances of non-retaliation for persons who raise concerns in good faith. We report regularly to the executive leadership team and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors on such programs and the results of investigations conducted.

We could be held responsible if our internal controls policies and procedures fail to protect us from misinterpretation of or noncompliance with applicable anti-bribery laws, regulations and internal policies, recklessness, fraudulent behavior, dishonesty or other inappropriate acts committed by our affiliates, employees, agents or associated persons for which we might be considered responsible. As such, our corporate internal controls policies and processes may not prevent or detect all potential breaches of law or other governance practices. In addition, the compliance mechanisms and monitoring programs adopted and implemented by Newcrest prior to our acquisition of Newcrest in November 2023 may not have adequately prevented or detected possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and applicable anti-bribery laws and regulations attributable to Newcrest prior to such acquisitions and we may be held liable for any such violations. We occasionally identify or are apprised of information or allegations that certain employees, affiliates, agents or associated persons may have engaged in improper or unlawful conduct for which we might be held responsible.

Table of Contents

Our policy when receiving credible information or allegations is to conduct investigations and compliance reviews to evaluate that information, determine compliance with applicable anti-bribery laws and regulations and company policies and take such remedial steps as may be warranted, including the possibility of making a voluntary self-disclosure to the applicable authorities. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could lead to substantial investigation and remedial costs, sanctions and civil and criminal prosecution, as well as fines and penalties, litigation, loss of operating licenses or permits and other collateral consequences, and may damage the Company’s reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations or cause the market value of our common shares to decline.

Title to some of our properties may be insufficient, defective, or challenged.

The sufficiency or validity of the Company's Legal Title in and to its properties may be uncertain or challenged by third parties, including governmental authorities, Indigenous or communal peoples, or private parties. For example, at our Conga project in Peru, we continue to seek resolution to a land dispute with local residents. In Mexico, exploration and mining rights are granted through a mining concession, pertaining to the mineral estate, and do not include rights of ownership, possession, or access in or to the corresponding surface estate. Such rights in and to the surface estate are acquired through purchase, lease, or easement from private parties, local communities, or governmental authorities. We enter into temporary occupation agreements ranging from five to thirty years with the Ejido communities, which allow us to use the surface of the lands for our mining operations, and at any particular time we may be involved in negotiations to enter into new temporary occupation agreements or other surface access agreements or amend existing agreements. Failure to reach new agreements or disputes regarding existing agreements may cause, blockades, suspension of operations, delays to projects, and on occasion, may lead to legal disputes.

In addition, certain Australian and Canadian properties are owned by Indigenous peoples or are subject to certain inherent aboriginal rights, treaty rights, and/or asserted rights in and to their traditional territories, and our ability to acquire necessary rights to explore, develop, or mine these properties is dependent on agreements with them. Our ability to secure permits, licenses and/or agreements may be dependent on formal determinations of Indigenous or Native title rights issued by governmental authorities, the lack or delay of which may impede the Company’s ability to explore, develop, or mine. In Ghana, Peru, and Suriname, our Legal Title may be subject to challenge based on the presence and activities of artisanal miners or other trespassers due to adverse possession and/or the inability of the Company to satisfy its statutory, regulatory, or contractual obligations required to maintain, extend, or renew Legal Title in and to its properties. See the risk factors under the headings “We may be unable to obtain or retain necessary permits, leases, or other types of land tenure, which could adversely affect our operations”, “Illegal mining and artisanal mining occurs on or adjacent to certain of our properties exposing such sites to security risks”, and “Civil disturbances and criminal activities can disrupt business and expose the Company to liability” above for further information. A determination of insufficient or defective Legal Title or risks in connection with a challenge to our Legal Title could result in loss of Legal Title, litigation, insurance claims, the impairment, preclusion, or cessation of exploration, development, or mining operations, and potential losses affecting the Company's business as a whole.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may be volatile, which may make it difficult for you to resell the common stock when you want or at prices you find attractive.

As a publicly traded company with securities listed on the NYSE, TSX, ASX, and PNGX the market price and volume of our common stock may be subject to significant fluctuations due not only to general stock market conditions but also to a change in sentiment in the market regarding our operations, business prospects or liquidity. Among the factors that could affect the price of our common stock are: (i) changes in gold, and to a lesser extent, silver, copper, zinc or lead prices; (ii) operating and financial performance that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors or our financial outlook; (iii) developments in our business or in the mining sector generally; (iv) regulatory changes affecting our industry generally or our business and operations; (v) the operating and stock price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us; (vi) announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions and other material events by us or our competitors; (vii) our ability to integrate and operate the companies and the businesses that we acquire (including, for example, Newcrest); (viii) the perception of the Company’s ESG performance and its ability to deliver on ESG commitments and expectations, including in connection with the Company's climate strategy; (ix) response to activism; and (x) changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, stock, commodity, credit or asset valuations or volatility. The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has at times been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies, and has in the past been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine conflict, and could in the future be impacted by geopolitical and other macroeconomic factors. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Holders of our common stock may not receive dividends.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive only such dividends as our Board of Directors may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. We are incorporated in Delaware and governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Delaware law allows a corporation to pay dividends only out of surplus, as determined under Delaware law or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend was declared and for the preceding fiscal year. Under Delaware law, however, we

Table of Contents

cannot pay dividends out of net profits if, after we pay the dividend, our capital would be less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Our ability to pay dividends will be subject to our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, compliance with covenants and financial ratios related to existing or future indebtedness and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Although we have historically declared cash dividends on our common stock, we are not required to declare cash dividends on our common stock. An annualized dividend payout level has not been declared by the Board of Directors, and the declaration and payment of future dividends, including future quarterly dividends, remains at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Our dividend framework is non-binding, and our Board of Directors may modify the dividend framework or reduce, defer or eliminate our common stock dividend in the future.

Risks Related to the Combined Company Following the Newcrest Transaction

As disclosed in this Form 10-K, on November 6, 2023, Newmont closed its acquisition of Newcrest following receipt of all regulatory approvals and approval by Newmont’s and Newcrest’s shareholders of the resolutions at the shareholder meetings on October 11 and October 13, 2023, respectively. The Newcrest transaction could subject us to significant risks, including those described below.

Significant demands will be placed on the combined company as a result of the combination.

As a result of the Newcrest transaction, significant demands will be placed on the managerial, operational and financial personnel and systems of Newmont. There can be no assurance that the systems, procedures and controls of Newmont will be adequate to support the expansion of operations and associated increased costs and complexity following and resulting from the combination. The future operating results of Newmont will be affected by the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions, to integrate Newmont and Newcrest, to implement a new business strategy and to improve our operational and financial controls and reporting systems.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Newcrest transaction and the integration of Newcrest and Newmont may not occur as planned.

The Newcrest transaction was pursued with the expectation that its implementation will result in an increase in sustained profitability, cost savings and enhanced growth opportunities for Newmont. These anticipated benefits will depend in part on whether Newcrest’s and Newmont’s operations can be integrated in an efficient and effective manner. The on-going 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 operations could be adversely affected if, among other things, Newmont is not able to achieve the anticipated savings and synergies expected to be realized in entering the Newcrest transaction, or retain key employees to assist in the integration and operation of Newcrest and Newmont. The integration of Newmont and Newcrest 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 Newmont. 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. For example, the compliance mechanisms and monitoring programs adopted and implemented by Newcrest prior to the Newcrest transaction may not adequately prevent or detect possible violations of environmental, health and safety, taxes, employment, labor standards, money laundering, terrorist financing and other applicable laws and failure by Newcrest to comply with any of the foregoing legislation prior to the Newcrest transaction could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions and may subject Newmont 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 Newmont. As a result of these factors, it is possible that certain benefits expected from the Newcrest transaction may not be realized.

Newcrest’s public filings were subject to Australian disclosure standards, which differ from SEC disclosure requirements.

Prior to the Newcrest transaction, Newcrest’s Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates (the “Newcrest Historical Estimates”) have been prepared by Newcrest in accordance with the applicable reporting requirements of, and are based on confidence categories defined in, the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, December 2012 (the “JORC Code”), and the reporting requirements of the ASX Listing Rules Chapter 5, July 2022 (together, “the Australian Standards”), each of which differs from the requirements of Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC (the “S-K 1300 Standard”).

The S-K 1300 Standard and the Australian Standards 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,” “Proved Ore Reserve,” “Probable Ore Reserve,” “Mineral Resource,” “Measured Mineral Resource,” “Indicated Mineral Resource,” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are Australian mining terms as defined in the JORC Code, and their definitions differ from the definitions of the terms “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve,” “probable mineral reserve,” “mineral resource,” “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” under the S-K 1300 Standard. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great

Table of Contents

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 the S-K 1300 Standard, a pre-feasibility study, as defined under the S-K 1300 Standard, is typically required to report mineral reserves supported by a discounted cash flow analysis. The requirements for the declaration of mineral reserves under the S-K 1300 Standard are generally stricter than what is acceptable under JORC and have required the reclassification of previously declared mineral reserves to mineral resources, and there have also been adjustments to the amounts of previously declared mineral reserves and resources pending further study work. In addition to such adjustments, the JORC Code allows Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources to be reported inclusive of Mineral Resources modified to produce its Ore Reserves whereas the S-K 1300 Standard requires mineral resources to be reported exclusive of mineral reserves.

Future adjustments may occur due to differing standards, required study levels, price assumptions, future divestments and acquisitions and other factors.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Risk Management and Strategy

We rely upon technology and information systems to support our mining and business operations globally. These systems may be susceptible to cybersecurity risks including, but not limited to, external attackers, malware, viruses, and unauthorized access to our IT systems. We continuously invest and develop our cybersecurity controls and processes to address these threats and reduce the risk of future breaches and cyber attacks. Risk associated with a cybersecurity incident, impacting our operations, has been integrated into our overall global risk management system and process.

Foundationally, we seek to manage cyber risk through a structure of controls that includes cybersecurity standards, policies and cyber solutions that protect the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of our critical IT and mining systems. We monitor for emergent cyber threats and assess any actions required to reduce those risks. Our cybersecurity program is aligned to globally recognized security frameworks including the Mitre Att&ck Framework, NIST and ISO27001. We are currently certified compliant against ISO27001 and engage a certified audit firm to conduct annual control testing and reaffirm our certification. We further test our cybersecurity controls by engaging leading third-party cybersecurity service providers to perform external and internal penetration tests of critical business applications and mining system. Additionally, we review and tabletop test our incident response plan. We leverage continuous monitoring of our internet facing presence, as well as, known internet based criminal communities for mentions of Newmont, our executives, and employees. Our Security Operations Center ("SOC") continuously monitors for security events and threats, responding and escalating when appropriate. We also hold employee trainings on privacy and current cybersecurity topics, conduct phishing tests and generally seek to promote awareness of cybersecurity risk through communication and education of our employee population.

Newmont requires third parties that supply IT services, have access to Newmont systems, or manage Newmont data to adhere to established Newmont security policies. Additionally, Newmont requires that such third parties are required to provide detailed information on their established security controls via our third party risk assessment process. The third party risk assessment informs our contracting process. Specific certification may be required of critical third party IT service providers and partners. All third party workers are bound by our Acceptable Technology Use standard which governs appropriate IT systems access and usage.

Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Computer viruses, hackers, employee or vendor misconduct, and other external hazards could expose our information systems, and those of our vendors, to security breaches, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business. Cybersecurity incidents may also cause disruption to mining operations; critical financial or reporting systems impairment; breach or integrity loss of Newmont proprietary or confidential data; or external reputational damage.

The sophistication of cybersecurity threats, including through the use of artificial intelligence, continues to increase, and the controls and preventative actions we take to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents and protect our systems, including the regular testing of our cybersecurity incident response plan, may become insufficient. In addition, new technology that could result in greater operational efficiency such as our use of artificial intelligence, fleet electrification, and autonomous vehicles may further expose our operations and computer systems to the risk of cybersecurity incidents. Newmont did not identify any cybersecurity incidents during the year ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Newmont's business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Additional information about cybersecurity risks we face is discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors if this report under the heading "We are dependent upon information technology and operational technology systems, which are subject to disruption, damage, failure and risks associated with implementation, upgrade, operation and integration" which should be read in conjunction with the information above.

Governance

As part of our overall risk management approach, we prioritize the identification and management of cybersecurity risk at several levels, including Board oversight, executive commitment and employee training. Our Audit Committee, comprised of independent directors from our Board, oversees the responsibilities relating to the operational (including information technology (IT) risks and data security) risk affairs of the Company. Our Audit Committee is informed of such risks through quarterly reports from our cybersecurity leadership and it reports any material findings and recommendations to the full Board for consideration.

Our Cybersecurity team, comprised of seasoned IT and cybersecurity members, has decades of experience across multiple technical and compliance disciplines including cyber incident response, forensics, IT compliance, incident recovery, threat investigation and information technology. Our cybersecurity team includes several individuals who hold industry recognized certifications and advanced degrees in cybersecurity. Cybersecurity oversees the implementation and compliance of our information security standards, information technology compliance, and mitigation of information security related risks. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO) have direct oversight of the cybersecurity function. We also have management level committees, leaders, and a cybersecurity incident team who support our processes to assess and manage cybersecurity risk as follows:

Table of Contents

A 2% net smelter return royalty is owed to Royal Gold Inc. from both the Chile Colorado and Peñasco open pits of the Peñasquito mine. Since January 1, 2014, the Mexican Government levies a 7.5% mining royalty that is imposed on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. There is also a 0.5% environmental erosion fee payable on precious metal production, based on revenues. In December 2016, the State of Zacatecas in Mexico approved new environmental taxes (“Ecological Taxes”) that became effective January 1, 2017. The Ecological Taxes are calculated based on a predetermined formula and the volume of carbon emissions, as well as other environmental variables, at Peñasquito. The Company's payment of the Ecological Taxes primarily relates to the volume of carbon emissions at Peñasquito from fixed and mobile sources.

The mineralization at Peñasquito contains gold, silver, lead and zinc. Deposits currently mined within the Peñasquito operations are considered to be examples of breccia pipes developed as a result of intrusion-related hydrothermal activity.

Process facilities include a sulfide processing plant, comprising three stages of flotation: carbon, lead, and zinc. The carbon pre-flotation circuit was added in 2018 ahead of lead flotation to remove organic carbon associated with sedimentary ores. In the lead and zinc flotation, the slurry is conditioned with reagents to activate the desired minerals and produce lead and zinc concentrates. The tailings from the leach circuit undergoes cyanide destruction and combines with final flotation tailings for final deposition in the tailings storage facility.

The available mining fleet consists of five rope shovels, three hydraulic shovels, four loaders, and 82 haul trucks, each with a 312-tonne payload. The fleet is supported by 9 blast hole production drills, as well as track dozers, rubber tire dozers, excavators, and graders.

Boddington and Tanami, Australia. Newmont’s Boddington and Tanami operations in Australia take place on land that falls under the custodianship of Aboriginal people. Aboriginal land rights in Australia, which recognize the traditional rights and customs of Aboriginal people, are governed by the Commonwealth Native Title Act and certain other Acts specific to individual states and territories. The Commonwealth Native Title Act was enacted in 1993 following a decision in the High Court of Australia, which held that Aboriginal people, who have maintained a continuing connection with their land according to their traditional laws and customs, may hold certain rights which should be recognized under Australian common law. In the Northern Territory, where the Tanami operation is located, the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (“ALRA”) was introduced in 1976, which established an Aboriginal Land rights regime. Under the ALRA, approximately 50% of the land in the Northern Territory was granted as Aboriginal freehold land.

Newmont has existing agreements with the Traditional Owners of the land utilized by our Tanami and Boddington operations. Any future agreements would depend on a determination of native title, which is likely to take many years. If successful, a native title determination could give rights to compensation claims in the future. Throughout Australia, new exploratory and mining tenements may require native title agreements to be entered into and will be subject to a negotiation process, which often gives rise to compensation payments and heritage survey protocols. Newmont does not consider that native title claims or determined areas where rights have been established are an impediment to the operation of existing mines.

In Australia, various ad valorem royalties and taxes are paid to state and territorial governments, typically based on a percentage of gross revenues or earnings. Aboriginal groups have negotiated compensation/royalty payments as a condition to granting access to areas where native title rights are determined or where they own the land.


Boddington, Australia. (100% owned) Boddington is located 81 miles (130 kilometers) southeast of Perth in Western Australia and is accessible primarily by paved road. Boddington has been wholly owned since June 2009 when Newmont acquired the final 33.33% interest from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited. The Boddington project area comprises 52,506 acres (21,249 hectares) of mining tenure leased from the State of Western Australia, of which 26,910 acres (10,890 hectares) is subleased from the South 32 Worsley Joint Venturers ("Worsley JV"). The total project area is comprised of multiple leases that expire between 2025 and 2043. Royalties are paid to the state government at 2.5% for gold and 5% for copper based on revenue. Shipping and treatment and refining costs are allowable deductions from revenue for royalty calculations for copper. Newmont owns 74,474 acres (30,139 hectares) of rural freehold property, some of which overlaps existing mining tenure. The majority of its current operational area is located on its freehold property.

Table of Contents

The subleases from the Worsley JV expire immediately prior to the expiry of the relevant mining leases. Newmont holds rights to renew the subleases. The mining leases are renewable upon application to the State of Western Australia by the Worsley JV. As these mining leases are in their third term, renewal of these mining leases is at the discretion of the State. The subleases do not confer an express right to require the Worsley JV to seek application to renew the mining leases. Newmont is entitled to all gold and other non-bauxite mineralization conferred by the mining leases. The Worsley JV retains the rights to bauxite mineralization. The relationship between the Worsley JV bauxite operations and the Boddington gold operations are regulated through a cross-operation agreement. This agreement confers priority on the bauxite operations such that the bauxite/alumina mining operations of the Worsley JV will take priority over the gold mining operations and Newmont is required to take reasonable measures to conserve bauxite including by mining and stockpiling bauxite on behalf of the Worsley JV.

Boddington consists of greenstone diorite hosted mineralization and exploration activities continue to develop the known reserve. The mine operates two pits (North and South Pits), utilizing two electric rope shovels, a diesel powered face shovel and an electric hydraulic shovel as its prime ex-pit material movers with a fleet of 41 production autonomous haulage trucks. Boddington has a current capacity to mine approximately 150,000 to 200,000 tonnes of material per day. The milling plant includes a three-stage crushing facility (two primary crushers, six secondary crushers and four high-pressure grinding rolls), four ball mills, a flotation circuit and a carbon-in-leach circuit. The flotation circuit process recovers gold-copper concentrate before the material is then processed by a traditional carbon-in-leach circuit where the remaining gold is recovered to produce doré. Mining operations consist of two open pit operations located adjacent to each other.

Power for the operation is sourced through the local power grid under a long-term power purchase agreement with Bluewaters Power. The power supply contract with Bluewaters expires in 2026 and includes an option to extend.

Boddington’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2023 was $4,750.

(100% owned) Cadia is located approximately 16 miles (25 kilometers) south-southwest of the town of Orange in New South Wales ("NSW") and is accessible primarily by paved roads and through the Orange airport located approximately 8 miles (13 kilometers) northeast of the Cadia Operations. The Cadia Operations consist of six granted mining leases and five granted exploration licenses through NSW encompassing a total area of 53,128 acres (21,500 hectares). Newmont predominantly owns all properties covered by the mining leases and a number of properties in the surrounding area. The main mining lease expires in October 2038 but can be renewed. Newcrest acquired the Cadia mine in 1991. Newmont obtained the 100% ownership of Cadia when Newmont acquired Newcrest in 2023. Cadia consists of the Cadia East, Cadia Extended, and Ridgeway deposits which consist of alkalic porphyry gold-copper style mineralization and the Big Cadia deposit which is a skarn-style occurrence.

The NSW government levies a royalty rate of 4% for gold, silver, copper, and molybdenum based on revenue. Treatment costs, depreciation, realization, and administration costs are allowable deductions from revenue for royalty calculations.

Cadia operates two adjacent concentrators, Concentrator 1 and Concentrator 2, currently treating ore from Cadia East mine. Both concentrators have undergone throughput upgrades, including operational improvements, over the years. Water supply at Cadia is sourced from the Cadiangullong Dam, Upper Rodds Creek Dam, Flyers Creek Weir, Cadia Creek Weir, Orange Sewage Treatment Plant treated effluent, Blayney Sewage Treatment Plant treated effluent, on-site groundwater bores, Belubula River, Cadia Extended open pit (a completed and backfilled extension of the Cadia Hill open pit) and site runoff. Cadia sources all of its power from the National Electricity Market. Cadia is currently under an electricity supply agreement and holds a power purchase agreement.

Production mining is an underground panel cave mining from Cadia East with underground crushing and conveyor to surface. The processing plant infrastructure includes high pressure grinding rolls, SAG mills, ball mills, flotation, coarse ore flotation, gravity concentrator and a molybdenum plant to produce copper and gold concentrate, gold doré and molybdenum concentrate.

The available fleet consists of 33 underground production loaders with an average 18.4 tonne payload. Cadia’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2023 was $5,355.

Lihir, Papua New Guinea. (100% owned) Lihir is an open pit mine located near the town of Londolovit on Lihir Island, approximately 560 miles (900 kilometers) northeast of Port Moresby, the national capital. Access to Lihir Island is through the Kunaye airport located approximately 4 miles (7 kilometers) north of the mine. Newcrest acquired the Lihir mine in 2010. Newmont obtained the 100% ownership of Lihir when Newmont acquired Newcrest in 2023. The Lihir deposit is considered to be an example of an epithermal gold deposit. Lihir Island is part of a 155 mile (250-kilometers) long, northwest-trending, alkalic volcanic island chain that sits within an area where several micro-plates (Solomon Sea Plate, South Bismarck Plate and North Bismarck Plate) developed between the converging Australian and South Pacific plates. Lihir Island comprises two Plio–Pleistocene volcanic blocks, Londolovit Block and Wurtol Wedge and three Pleistocene volcanic edifices, Huniho, Kinami, and Luise.

Lihir consists of a granted Special Mining Lease, two granted Mining Leases, one granted Exploration License, five granted Leases for Mining Purposes, and three Mining Easements held in the name of Lihir Gold. The total area under license is approximately 63,506 acres (25,700 hectares). Lihir is situated on land held variously under customary, State of PNG, and private ownership, including under State of PNG lease. The bulk of the land that is or will be affected by development, operations and closure of the Lihir Operations is customary owned. Newmont has been granted rights to undertake mining and processing of gold and related activities, through negotiations with the state and local government, and landowners in the area. Environment Permits for water extraction and waste disposal are in place to support mining operations. The Londolovit River is the main source of water for the process plant and surrounding area.

A 2% royalty is payable to the State on the realized prices of all gold and silver bullion sold. In addition, a production levy of 0.5% is also payable to the PNG Mineral Resource Authority on the gross income from the sale of the minerals (i.e., excluding the offsets of treatment and refining charges, payable terms and freight) and other income derived from or in connection with the mining operations.

Operations at Lihir are conducted using a fleet of seven shovels and 49 haul trucks, with payload ranging from 85 to 135-tonnes. The process plant consists of crushing and grinding followed by partial flotation, pressure oxidation, and recovery of gold from washed oxidized slurry using conventional cyanidation. For tailings management, Lihir utilizes deep-sea tailings placement in a suitable deep-ocean location. The plant has undergone a number of alterations and expansions since first commissioning in 1997.

Lihir’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2023 was $2,645.

As of December 31, 2023, Lihir reported 17.5 million ounces of gold reserves. As of December 31, 2023, Lihir reported 20.2 million ounces of gold resources.

Ahafo and Akyem, Ghana. All of Newmont’s operations in Africa are located in Ghana. In December 2003, Ghana’s Parliament unanimously ratified an Investment Agreement (“IA”) between Newmont and the government of Ghana. The IA established a fixed fiscal and legal regime, including fixed royalty and tax rates, for the life of any Newmont project in Ghana. In December 2015, Ghana’s Parliament ratified the Revised Investment Agreements (“Ghana Investment Agreements” or “Revised IAs”). Currently, the maximum corporate income tax rate remains at 32.5% and royalties are paid on a sliding scale system that is based on average monthly gold prices. The rates range from 3% to 5% of revenues (plus an additional 0.6% for any production from forest reserve areas). The government of Ghana is also entitled to receive 10% of a project’s net cash flow after reaching specific production milestones by receiving 1/9th of the total amount paid as dividends to Newmont parent. When the average quoted gold price exceeds $1,300 per ounce within a calendar year, an advance payment on these amounts of 0.6% of total revenues is required. The Ghana Investment Agreements also contain commitments with respect to job training for local Ghanaians, community development, purchasing of local goods and services and environmental protection.

The Ghana Investment Agreements also include a change in tax stabilization from life of mine to 15 years from commercial production for each mine. In October 2017, the government of Ghana approved Newmont’s request to extend the stability period of the Revised IAs at the Ahafo operations for five years to December 31, 2025. The extension was approved based on Newmont’s commitment to invest at least $300 for the Subika Underground and Ahafo Mill Expansion projects. This commitment was completed during the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Ahafo and Akyem mines operate using electrical power generated by the Volta River Authority along with supplemental power generation capacity built by Newmont.

Ahafo, Ghana. (100% owned) Our current Ahafo operation ("Ahafo South") is located near Kenyasi in the Ahafo Region of Ghana, approximately 180 miles (290 kilometers) northwest of the national capital city of Accra, and is largely accessible by paved roads. In 2002, Newmont acquired 50% of Ahafo South as a result of the merger with Normandy. In 2003, Newmont purchased the remaining interest from Moydow Mines International Inc. (“Moydow”), thereby making it a wholly owned subsidiary. The Ahafo South mine commenced commercial production in 2006 and currently operates a mill, two pits and an underground operation. In July 2021, the Board of Directors approved full funding for the Ahafo North project which will expand our existing footprint in Ghana with four open pit mines and a stand-alone mill located approximately 30 kilometers from our current Ahafo South operations.

The Ahafo South operations are comprised of three mining leases issued under the Ghanaian Mining Act encompassing a total area of approximately 137,000 acres (55,000 hectares) with current mine take area of approximately 13,200 acres (5,300 hectares) that has been fully compensated and approximately 10,700 acres (4,300 hectares) of mining area that has not been fully compensated (e.g. payment would be necessary to move people from their land). The mining leases grant the exclusive rights to work, develop and produce gold in the lease area, including the processing, storing and transportation of mineral and materials. The mining leases require Ahafo South to respect or perform certain financial and statutory reporting obligations and expire in 2031 and are renewable subject to certain conditions. Ahafo South pays a royalty of 2% on net smelter returns to Franco-Nevada for all gold ounces recovered from areas previously owned by Moydow and a sliding scale royalty based on the average monthly gold price up to 5% on gold production to the government of Ghana.

The Ahafo South mine is composed of three orogenic gold deposits that have oxide and primary mineralization. Gold occurs primarily in pyrite and secondarily as native gold in quartz veins. Ahafo South has two active open pits, Subika and Awonsu. Subika added an underground operation, which reached commercial production in November 2018, and Awonsu completed a layback in November 2019. The available mining fleet for surface mining consists of three shovels and 36 haul trucks, each with 141-tonne payload. The available mining fleet for underground mining consists of eight underground loaders and 13 haul trucks, with payload ranging from 55 to 57-tonnes. The daily production rate is approximately 88,000 tonnes. The original processing plant was commissioned in 2006. The Ahafo Mill Expansion, which was completed in October 2019, expanded the plant capacity to process approximately 11 million tonnes per year. The current processing plant consists of two crushing plants, two grinding circuits, carbon-in-leach circuits, elution circuit, counter current decantation circuit, a tailings disposal facility, a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, and an analytical laboratory managed by a third party.

Brownfield exploration and development for new reserves is ongoing.

Ahafo South’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2023 was $2,849.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Ahafo South reported 5.1 million and 5.7 million ounces of gold reserves, respectively. This change represents a decrease of approximately 10% in gold reserves in 2023 compared to 2022. The overall reduction in gold reserves is primarily due to depletion.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Ahafo South reported 5.1 million and 5.2 million ounces of gold resources, respectively. The gold resources remained consistent.

Akyem, Ghana. (100% owned) Akyem, located in Birim North District of the Eastern Region of Ghana, approximately 80 miles (125 kilometers) northwest of the national capital city of Accra, is an open pit mining operation comprised of two mining leases issued under the Ghanaian Mining Act, encompassing an area of approximately 16,000 acres (6,000 hectares). The Akyem mine is an orogenic gold deposit that has oxide and primary mineralization. Process facilities include a crushing plant, a SAG and ball milling circuit, carbon-in-leach circuit, elution circuit and bullion smelting facilities. The available mining fleet consists of four excavators made up of two front end shovels and two backhoe excavators and twenty-one 145-tonne payload haul trucks. Akyem’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2023 was $1,748. Akyem reported 1.1 million ounces of gold reserves at December 31, 2023.

NGM, Nevada, U.S. (38.5% owned) NGM is located in Elko, Nevada. On July 1, 2019, Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement, which combined the Company’s Nevada mining operations with Barrick’s Nevada mining operations resulting in the establishment of NGM, a joint venture with Barrick, who is the operator, and which is accounted for by the Company under proportionate consolidation. NGM operations are primarily accessible by paved road and are comprised of 180,921 acres (73,217 hectares) in aggregate including Cortez 53,999 acres (21,853 hectares), Carlin 58,255 acres (23,575 hectares), Turquoise Ridge 26,679 acres (10,797 hectares), Phoenix 17,900 acres (7,244 hectares), and Long Canyon 24,088 acres (9,748 hectares).

All sites at NGM contain open pit operations while Cortez, Carlin, and Turquoise Ridge also include underground operations. At Cortez, mineralization is sedimentary rock-hosted and consists of submicron to micrometer-sized gold particles and gold in solid solution in pyrite. Refractory ore is transported to Carlin for processing. Phoenix is a skarn-hosted polymetallic massive sulfide replacement deposit. The Phoenix mill produces a gravity gold concentrate and a copper/gold flotation concentrate and recovers additional gold from cyanide leaching of the flotation tails. Carlin, Turquoise Ridge, and Long Canyon are a sediment-hosted disseminated gold deposit. Additionally, at Long Canyon, oxide ore with suitable cyanide solubility is treated on a heap leach pad. Gold recovered from the leach pad is transferred as gold-bearing carbon to Carlin for refining and shipment.

In Nevada, mining taxes are assessed on up to 5% of net proceeds of a mine. During 2021, the Nevada legislature enacted a new excise tax which is assessed up to 1.1% of gross revenues.

NGM owns, or controls through leases, fee ownership, and unpatented mining claims, all of the minerals and surface area within the boundaries of the present Nevada mining operations. The long-term leases extend for at least the anticipated mine life of those deposits. With respect to a significant portion of the Gold Quarry mine at Carlin, NGM pays a net smelter royalty equivalent to 16.2% of the mineral production. NGM wholly-owns or controls the remainder of the Gold Quarry mineral rights, in some cases subject to additional royalties. With respect to certain smaller deposits in Nevada, NGM is obligated to pay royalties on production to third parties that vary from 1% to 8% of production.

Each site has its own process facilities which include: an oxide mill, which consists of a crushing and grinding circuit and carbon-in-leach circuit, and two heap leach pads at Cortez; an autoclave, two roasters, an oxide mill/flotation circuit and four heap leach pads at Carlin; the Sage autoclave, an oxide mill, and three heap leach pads at Turquoise Ridge; a flotation mill, a carbon-in-leach plant, a copper leach pad and a solvent extraction electrowinning (“SX/EW”) plant at Phoenix; and a heap leach pad at Long Canyon. NGM has a current capacity across all sites to mine approximately 340,000 tonnes of material per day. The milling facilities were commissioned over a range of years beginning in the 1990’s. They undergo routine maintenance each year with process improvements implemented as the projects are identified and approved. Power is either purchased in the open market or supplied by the power plants owned and operated by NGM.

The NGM operations include, in aggregate, an open pit mining fleet consisting of 28 shovels and 162 haul trucks with an average payload of 263 tonnes, and an underground mining fleet consisting of 59 underground loaders and 88 haul trucks, with an average payload of 35 tonnes.

Newmont’s share of NGM’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2023 was $8,491.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, NGM reported 18.3 million and 18.6 million attributable ounces of gold reserves, respectively, 300 million and 320 million pounds of copper reserves, respectively, and 14.2 million and 13.3 million ounces of silver reserves, respectively. These changes represent a decrease of approximately 2% in gold reserves, a decrease of approximately 6% in copper reserves, and an increase of approximately 6% in silver reserves in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease in gold reserves is primarily due to mining depletion.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, NGM reported 17.3 million and 19.2 million attributable ounces of gold resources, respectively, 600 million and 420 million attributable pounds of copper resources, respectively, and 19.9 million and 18.1 million attributable ounces of silver resources, respectively. These changes represent a decrease of approximately 10% in gold resources, an increase of approximately 43% in copper resources, and an increase of approximately 10% in silver resources in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease in gold resources is primarily due to negative net revisions.

Brownfield exploration and development for new reserves is ongoing.

Proven and Probable Reserves

All of our reserves are located on land (i) we own or control, or (ii) that is owned or controlled by business entities established with our joint venture partners, in which the Company owns its pro-rata share of the capital stock, membership units, or interests. The risks that could affect title to our property are included above in Item 1A, Risk Factors.

A “mineral reserve” is an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted. The term “economically viable,” as used in the definition of reserve, means that the qualified person has analytically determined that extraction of the mineral reserve is economically viable under reasonable investment and market assumptions.

The term “proven reserves” means the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource and can only result from conversion of a measured mineral resource. The term “probable reserves” means reserves for which quantity and grade are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for sampling are farther apart or are otherwise less closely spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. Proven and probable reserves include gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc or molybdenum attributable to Newmont’s ownership or economic interest.

Proven and probable reserves are based on extensive drilling, sampling, mine modeling and metallurgical testing from which we determined economic feasibility. The reference point for mineral reserves is the point of delivery to the process plant. Metal price assumptions, adjusted for our exchange rate assumption, are based on considering such factors as market forecasts, industry consensus and management estimates. The price sensitivity of reserves depends upon several factors including grade, metallurgical recovery, operating cost, waste-to-ore ratio and ore type. Metallurgical recovery rates vary depending on the metallurgical properties of each deposit and the production process used. The reserve tables below list the average metallurgical recovery rate for each deposit, which takes into account the relevant processing methods. The cut-off grade, or lowest grade of mineralization considered economic to

process, varies between deposits depending upon prevailing economic conditions, mineability of the deposit, by-products, amenability of the ore to gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc or molybdenum extraction and type of milling or leaching facilities available. Reserve estimates may have non-material differences in comparison to our joint venture partners due to differences in classification and rounding methodology.

The proven and probable reserve figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation. No assurance can be given that the indicated levels of recovery of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc and molybdenum will be realized. Ounces of gold or silver or pounds of copper, lead, zinc or molybdenum included in the proven and probable reserves are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production. Market fluctuations in the price of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc and molybdenum, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could render certain proven and probable reserves containing higher cost reserves uneconomic to exploit and might result in a reduction of reserves.

We had attributable proven and probable gold reserves of 135.9 million ounces at December 31, 2023. For 2023 and 2022, reserves were estimated at a gold price assumption of $1,400, except as noted below for sites acquired through the Newcrest transaction, which have used more conservative price assumptions. We estimate that our 2023 reserves would increase by 5% (7.1 million ounces), or decline by 6% (8.3 million ounces), if the gold price assumption increased or decreased $100 per ounce, respectively, with all other assumptions remaining constant.

We publish reserves annually, and will recalculate reserves at December 31, 2024, taking into account metal prices, changes, if any, to future production and capital costs, divestments and depletion as well as any acquisitions and additions during 2024.

The Company has internal controls for reviewing and documenting the information supporting the mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates, describing the methods used, and ensuring the validity of the estimates. Information that is utilized to compile mineral reserves and resources is prepared and certified by appropriately qualified persons at the mine site level and is subject to our internal review process which includes review by the Newmont-designated site and the Qualified Person (“QP”) based in our corporate office in Denver, Colorado. Additionally, all material sites are audited every three years and the non-material sites on a four-year cycle by subject matter experts for compliance to internal standards and guidelines as well as regulatory requirements. The QP presents the mineral reserve and mineral resource information to the Audit Committee and the Disclosure Committee on an annual basis for further review.

The following tables detail gold proven and probable reserves reflecting only those reserves attributable to Newmont’s ownership or economic interest at December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Resources

All of our resources are located on land (i) we own or control, or (ii) that is owned or controlled by business entities established with our joint venture partners, in which the Company owns its pro-rata share of the capital stock, membership units, or interests. The risks that could affect title to our property are included above in Item 1A, Risk Factors.

The measured, indicated, and inferred resource figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation and are exclusive of reserves. A “mineral resource” is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade, or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. The reference point for mineral resources is in situ. Mineral resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into inferred, indicated and measured categories. Ounces of gold and silver or pounds of copper, zinc, lead, molybdenum, and tungsten included in the measured, indicated and inferred resources are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. The terms "measured resource," "indicated resource," and "inferred resource" mean that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of geological evidence and sampling that is considered to be comprehensive, adequate, or limited, respectively.

Market fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, molybdenum and tungsten, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could change future estimates of resources. Metal price assumptions are based on approximately a fifteen to twenty-five percent premium over reserve prices.

Our exploration efforts are directed to the discovery of new resources and converting it into proven and probable reserves. We conduct brownfield exploration around our existing mines and greenfield exploration in other locations globally. Brownfield exploration can result in the discovery of additional deposits, which may receive the economic benefit of existing operating, processing and administrative infrastructures. In contrast, the discovery of mineralization through greenfield exploration efforts will require capital investment to build a stand-alone operation. Our Exploration expense was $265, $231 and $209 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We had attributable measured and indicated gold resources of 104.8 million ounces and attributable inferred gold resources of 69.1 million ounces at December 31, 2023. For 2023 and 2022, attributable measured, indicated, and inferred gold resources were estimated at a gold price assumption of $1,600, with the exception of gold resources for Telfer, which were estimated at a gold price assumption of $1,800 due to the short-term remaining mine life.

The resource figures presented herein do not include that part of our resources that have been converted to Proven and Probable Reserves as shown above, as they are reported exclusive of reserves, and have been estimated based on information available at the time of calculation.

We publish measured, indicated, and inferred resources annually, and will recalculate them at December 31, 2024, taking into account metal prices, changes, if any, in future production and capital costs, divestments and conversion to reserves, as well as any acquisitions and additions during 2024.

The following tables detail measured, indicated, and inferred resources reflecting only those that are attributable to Newmont’s ownership or economic interest at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(1)Resources are reported exclusive of reserves. Amounts presented may not recalculate in total due to rounding.

Table of Contents

(2)Resources, at sites in which Newmont is the operator, are estimated at a gold price of $1,600 per ounce for 2023 and 2022, unless otherwise noted. Resources provided by other operators may use pricing that differs. Tonnage amounts have been rounded to the nearest 100,000.

(4)Project is currently undeveloped. Resource estimates provided by Teck Resources, the Galore Creek joint venture partner.

(5)Resource estimates provided by Barrick, the operator of Pueblo Viejo.

(6)Project is currently undeveloped. Resource estimates provided by the NuevaUnión joint venture.

(7)Project is currently undeveloped. Resource estimates provided by the Norte Abierto joint venture.

(8)Resource estimates provided by Barrick, the operator of the NGM joint venture.

(9)Amounts presented herein have been rounded to the nearest 100,000 in 2023 and nearest 10,000 in 2022 for ounces and 100,000 for tonnes and therefore may not agree to the respective Technical Report Summaries provided for certain properties as provided under exhibit 96.

(10)In 2022, the Company increased its ownership interest in Yanacocha to 100% by acquiring Buenaventura’s 43.65% noncontrolling interest and Sumitomo's 5% noncontrolling interest. Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company has elected to apply a threshold of $1 million pursuant to Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K in connection with environmental proceedings to which a governmental authority is a party.

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.

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 have 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 Annual Report. It is noted that the Nevada mines owned by NGM, in which the Company holds a 38.5% interest, are not included in the Company’s Exhibit 95 mine safety disclosure reporting as such sites are operated by our joint venture partner, Barrick.

(2)On February 21, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock award vesting and to provide returns to shareholders, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased does not exceed $1 billion. The program will expire after 24 months (in February 2026). The program will be executed at the Company's discretion, utilizing open market repurchases to occur from time to time throughout the authorization period. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount during the authorization period. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future.

We are primarily engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold properties, some of which may contain copper, silver, lead, zinc or other metals. We have significant operations and/or assets in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Fiji, and Ghana. Our goal is to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining.

Refer to the Consolidated Financial Results, Results of Consolidated Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Non-GAAP Financial Measures for information about the continued impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the resulting significant inflation experienced globally, as well as the effects of certain counter measures taken by central banks, on the Company. Also refer to discussion of Risk and Uncertainties within Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, relating to inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, with particular consideration on the outlook for increased costs specific to labor, materials, consumables and fuel and energy on operations, as well as impacts on the timing and cost of capital expenditures and the risk of potential impairment to certain assets.

Based on a comprehensive review of the Company’s portfolio of assets following the Newcrest acquisition, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a portfolio optimization program to divest six non-core assets and a development project in February 2024. The non-core assets to be divested include Akyem, CC&V, Éléonore, Porcupine, Musselwhite, Telfer, and a development project in Canada. In February 2024, the Company concluded that these non-core assets and the development project met the accounting requirements to be presented as Held for Sale in the first quarter of 2024, based on progress made through our active sales program and management’s expectation that the sale is probable and will be completed within 12 months. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate net book value of the non-core assets and the development project was $3,419.

On November 6, 2023, the Company completed its business combination transaction with Newcrest Mining Limited, a public Australian mining company limited by shares ("Newcrest"), whereby Newmont, through Newmont Overseas Holdings Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary company limited by shares (“Newmont Sub”), acquired all of the ordinary shares of Newcrest in a fully stock transaction for total non-cash consideration of $13,549. Newcrest became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Sub and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont (such acquisition, the “Newcrest transaction”). The combined company continues to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NEM. The combined company is also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker NGT, on the Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker NEM, and on the Papua New Guinea Securities Exchange under the ticker NEM. For further information, refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2023, Newmont reassessed and revised its operating strategies and the accountabilities of the senior leadership team in light of the continuing volatile and uncertain market conditions, and in November 2023, the Company completed the Newcrest transaction. Following these changes, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect the mining operations acquired and certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by Newmont's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). As a result, the Company determined that its reportable segments were each of its 17 mining operations that it manages and its 38.5% proportionate interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") which it does not directly manage. Segment results for the prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company announced the deferral of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru for at least two years, currently estimated to occur in 2026. With the delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project,

management will focus its efforts on optimizing its allocation of funds to current operations and other capital commitments, while also assessing execution options and project plans options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Buenaventura's 43.65% noncontrolling interest in Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. ("Yanacocha") (the "Yanacocha Transaction") and sold its 46.94% ownership interest in Minera La Zanja S.R.L. ("La Zanja"). The Company acquired the remaining 5% interest previously held by Sumitomo in the second quarter of 2022. At December 31, 2023, the Company holds 100% ownership interest in Yanacocha. Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding these transactions.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders per common share, diluted	$	(0.58)	$	1.39	$	(1.97)

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders decreased during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to (i) higher Reclamation and Remediation; (ii) higher Impairment charges in 2023 compared to 2022; (iii) the Peñasquito labor strike; (iv) Newcrest transaction and integration costs of $464 incurred in 2023; (v) a loss on abandonment of $235 related to the Peñasquito pyrite leach plant; (vi) higher income tax expense; and (vii) 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.

The decrease in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders is partially offset by (i) higher average realized prices for gold, silver and copper; (ii) lower Depreciation and amortization; (iii) an increase to Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $136 related to the acquired Newcrest sites; (iv) a higher non-cash pension settlement charge recognized in 2022 compared to 2023; and (v) higher interest income due to interest earned on time deposits in 2023. See below for further information on the change in Depreciation and amortization.

The details and analyses of our Sales for all periods presented are set forth below. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Sales decreased during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, by $103. Of the $10,593 of gold sales and $575 of copper sales in 2023, $732 and $212, respectively, were attributable to sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction. Excluding the impact of these sites, gold sales decreased $555 (5%) and copper sales increased $47 (15%).

The increase in Costs applicable to sales during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily due to the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, which contributed $629 to Costs applicable to sales.

Excluding the impact of the Newcrest transaction, Costs applicable to sales decreased $398 primarily as a result of (i) a decrease of $497 at Peñasquito due to the labor strike that began in June 2023 and continued into the fourth quarter and lower profit-sharing in 2023 due to lower taxable income; and (ii) lower production at Akyem to re-sequence the mine plan and temporarily suspend mining in the main pit to make safety improvements and fortify the catch berms above the haul road into the pit, which resulted in lower royalties and lower energy and equipment maintenance costs. The decrease in Costs applicable to sales excluding the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction was offset by (i) lower build-up of inventory and higher royalty costs at NGM in 2023; (ii) higher maintenance costs at Cerro Negro, Éléonore, Porcupine, Musselwhite, and NGM; and (iii) higher materials, labor, and contracted service costs at Cerro Negro, Musselwhite, and Éléonore resulting from higher cost inputs.

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

The decrease in Depreciation and amortization during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily due to (i) a decrease of $76 at Peñasquito resulting from lower sales due to the Peñasquito labor strike that began in June 2023 and continued into the fourth quarter; (ii) a decrease in the depreciable asset base at CC&V resulting from the impairment charge recognized during the fourth quarter of 2022; (iii) lower depreciation rates as a result of lower gold ounces mined at Akyem; and (iv) lower depreciation at NGM due to lower leach pad production at Long Canyon as a result of the ramp down of mining and lower amortization rates at Carlin as a result of a longer mill life, partially offset by higher Depreciation and amortization at Porcupine, Ahafo, and Tanami due to asset additions.

The decrease in Depreciation and amortization during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 is partially offset by the impact of sites acquired in the Newcrest transaction, which increased Depreciation and amortization by $83.

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

Exploration expense was $265, $231 and $209 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Exploration expense increased in 2023, compared to 2022, primarily due to an increase in drilling projects in the current year, particularly at Galore Creek and Ahafo North, as a result of COVID-19 related delay to projects in the prior years, and higher drilling costs due to cost inflation.

Advanced projects, research and development expense was $200, $229 and $154 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advanced projects, research and development expense decreased in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to higher payments in 2022 as part of the strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc. ("CAT") relating to the Company's climate change initiatives and project spend relating to certain development projects at Cerro Negro and other early-stage project spending. Advanced projects, research and development expense includes development project management costs, feasibility studies and other project expenses that do not qualify for capitalization.

General and administrative expense was $299, $276 and $259 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. General and administrative expense increased in 2023, compared to 2022, primarily due to the addition of the Newcrest operations and increased labor costs. General and administrative expense as a percentage of Sales was 2.5%, 2.3% and 2.1% for 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

Interest expense, net was $243, $227 and $274 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Capitalized interest totaled $89, $69, and $38 in each year, respectively. Interest expense, net increased in 2023, compared to 2022, as a result of higher debt resulting from the Newcrest transaction. Interest expense on the acquired debt was recognized for the period of November 6, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) was $526, $455, and $1,098 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, 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 United States dollar and foreign currencies; and (vii) the impact of specific transactions and assessments including significant impairments of goodwill during 2023 and 2022. 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 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

Recently Enacted Legislation.

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") into law. The IRA introduced an excise tax on stock repurchases of 1% and a corporate alternative minimum tax (the "Corporate AMT") of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1 billion over a three-year period. The IRA is effective for fiscal periods beginning 2023. While waiting on pending Department of Treasury regulatory guidance, we are continuing to monitor developments. Based upon information known to date, no material impacts are expected to the Consolidated Financial Statements, disclosures, or cash flows. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In 2024, Pillar II is set to take effect. The Pillar II agreement was signed by 138 countries with the intent to equalize corporate tax around the world by implementing a global minimum tax of 15%. As Newmont primarily does business in jurisdictions with a tax rate greater than 15%, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

Results of Consolidated Operations

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


	Gold		Copper		Silver		Lead		Zinc
	(ounce)		(pound)		(ounce)		(pound)		(pound)
2023 GEO Price	$	1,400	$	3.50	$	20.00	$	1.00	$	1.20
2022 GEO Price	$	1,200	$	3.25	$	23.00	$	0.95	$	1.15
2021 GEO Price	$	1,200	$	2.75	$	22.00	$	0.90	$	1.05

We collected $11 in business interruption insurance proceeds during the third quarter as a result of the event. We expect additional insurance proceeds to be received during the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, in June 2023, damage was discovered in the SAG mill girth gear that has required the plant to operate at less than full capacity. The Company is implementing a plan to replace the damaged gear which is estimated to be completed in the first half of 2024.

Akyem, Ghana. Gold production decreased 30% primarily due to lower ore grade milled and lower mill throughput as a result of re-sequencing the mine plan and temporarily suspending mining in the main pit to make safety improvements and fortify the catch berms above the haul road into the pit. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 16% primarily due to lower gold ounces sold. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce increased 21% primarily due to lower gold ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce increased 24% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce.

NGM, U.S. Gold production was generally in line with the prior year. Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce increased 8% primarily due to leach pad write-downs and inventory draw-downs at Carlin. Depreciation and amortization per gold ounce was generally in line with the prior year. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce increased 15% primarily due to higher costs applicable to sales per gold ounce and higher sustaining capital spend at Carlin and Cortez.

Pueblo Viejo, Dominican Republic. Gold production decreased 21% primarily due to lower ore grades processed due to mine sequencing, as well as lower mill throughput and lower mill recovery associated with the commissioning of the mill expansion. Refer to Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our equity method investments.

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 Mexican peso, the Canadian dollar, the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol, the Surinamese dollar, the Ghanaian cedi, and the Papua New Guinean kina. In 2023, approximately 46% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as follows:


	Year Ended December 31, 2023
Australian Dollar	18	%
Canadian Dollar	14	%
Mexican Peso	6	%
Argentine Peso	5	%
Peruvian Sol	2	%
Surinamese Dollar	1	%
Ghanaian Cedi	—	%
Papua New Guinean Kina	—	%

Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales by $71 per gold ounce, primarily in Argentina due to significant currency devaluation that occurred in 2023, and increased Costs applicable to sales $31 per gold equivalent ounce, primarily in Mexico, in 2023 compared to 2022.

Our Ahafo and Akyem mines, located in Ghana, are USD functional currency entities. Ghana has experienced significant inflation over the last three years and has a highly inflationary economy. In 2021, the Bank of Ghana created a gold purchase program

Table of Contents

in the effort to stabilize the local currency and build up gold reserves through domestic gold purchases conducted in local currency at prevailing market rates. As the gold purchase program was voluntary, there was no significant impact to Ahafo. The majority of Ahafo’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation of the Ghanaian cedi is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

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

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 has 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. The Central Bank of Suriname adopted a controlled floating rate system, which resulted in a concurrent devaluation of the Surinamese dollar. The majority of Merian’s activity has historically been denominated in USD; as a result, the devaluation of the Surinamese dollar has resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial statements. Therefore, future devaluation of the Surinamese dollar is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Unless otherwise noted, we present the non-GAAP financial measures of our continuing operations in the tables below. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization

Management uses earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for non-core or certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income (loss), operating income (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Although Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted EBITDA are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Adjusted net income (loss)

Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the sale of products, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. Adjustments to continuing operations are presented before tax and net of our partners’ noncontrolling interests, when applicable. The tax effect of adjustments is presented in the Tax effect of adjustments line and is calculated using the applicable tax rate. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) as follows:

Free Cash Flow

Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant and mine development as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company’s performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company’s calculation of Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.

The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. The Company’s definition of Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow, as well as information regarding Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

____________________________

(1)Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities includes Additions to property, plant and mine development, which is included in the Company’s computation of Free Cash Flow.

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 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.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and other metals by gold ounces or gold equivalent ounces sold, respectively. These measures are calculated for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. We believe that these measures provide additional information to management, investors and others that aids in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility into the direct and indirect costs related to production, excluding depreciation and amortization, on a per ounce/gold equivalent ounce basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

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

(5)Per ounce measures may not recalculate due to rounding.

All-In Sustaining Costs

Current GAAP measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain production. Therefore, Newmont calculates All-In Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) based on the definition published by the World Gold Council. The World Gold Council is a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by gold mining companies around the world and a regulatory organization.

AISC is a metric that expands on GAAP measures, such as cost of goods sold, and non-GAAP measures, such as costs applicable to sales per ounce, to provide visibility into the economics of our mining operations related to expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from our continuing operations. We believe that AISC is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors and others that aids in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.

AISC amounts are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The

measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and in accounting frameworks such as in IFRS, or by reflecting the benefit from selling non-gold metals as a reduction to AISC. Differences may also arise related to definitional differences of sustaining versus development (i.e. non-sustaining) activities based upon each company’s internal policies.

The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining the All-In Sustaining Costs measure:

Costs applicable to sales. Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current production incurred to execute the current mine plan. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual amounts from CAS, such as significant revisions to recovery amounts. CAS includes by-product credits from certain metals obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. CAS is accounted for on an accrual basis and excludes Depreciation and amortization and Reclamation and remediation, which is consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In determining AISC, only the CAS associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold is included in the measure. Therefore, the amount of gold CAS included in AISC is derived from the CAS presented in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations less the amount of CAS attributable to the production of other metals. The other metals' CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and other metals is based upon the relative sales value of gold and other metals produced during the period.

Reclamation costs. Includes accretion expense related to reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the related ARC for the Company’s operating properties. Accretion related to the reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation does not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation associated with current production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals.

Advanced projects, research and development and exploration. Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to sustain current production and exploration. We note that as current resources are depleted, exploration and advanced projects are necessary for us to replace the depleting reserves or enhance the recovery and processing of the current reserves to sustain production at existing operations. As these costs relate to sustaining our production, and are considered a continuing cost of a mining company, these costs are included in the AISC measure. These costs are derived from the Advanced projects, research and development and Exploration amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations less incurred expenses related to the development of new operations, or related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operation in the future. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals. We also allocate these costs incurred at Corporate and Other using the proportion of CAS between gold and other metals.

General and administrative. Includes costs related to administrative tasks not directly related to current production, but rather related to supporting our corporate structure and fulfilling our obligations to operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce basis. We allocate these costs to gold and other metals at Corporate and Other using the proportion of CAS between gold and other metals.

Other expense, net. For Other expense, net we include care and maintenance costs relating to direct operating costs incurred at the mine sites during the period that these sites were temporarily placed into care and maintenance in response to pandemics such as COVID-19 or unexpected significant events and exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses, such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals.

Treatment and refining costs. Includes costs paid to smelters for treatment and refining of our concentrates to produce the salable metal. These costs are presented net as a reduction of Sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals.

Sustaining capital and finance lease payments. We determined sustaining capital and finance lease payments as those capital expenditures and finance lease payments that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. We determined development (i.e. non-sustaining) capital expenditures and finance lease payments to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation and are excluded from the calculation of AISC. The classification of sustaining and development capital projects and finance leases is based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital and finance lease payments are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the Company’s current operations and provide improved transparency related to our ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is

determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals. We also allocate these costs incurred at Corporate and Other using the proportion of CAS between gold and other metals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

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

Our global operations expose us to risks associated with public health crises, including epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19, and geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Company continues to experience the impacts from recent geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of these events, commodity prices and the prices for gold and other metals 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’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. As of December 31, 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 Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on risks and uncertainties.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had $3,002 in Cash and cash equivalents. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are invested in a variety of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Our Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid and low-risk investments that are available to fund our operations as necessary. We may have investments in prime money market funds that are classified as cash and cash equivalents; however, we continually monitor the need for reclassification under the SEC requirements for money market funds, and the potential that the shares of such funds could have a net asset value of less than their par value. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities.

At December 31, 2023, $1,585 of Cash and cash equivalents was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in USD denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to USD. Cash and cash equivalents denominated in Argentine peso are subject to regulatory restrictions. Refer to Foreign Currency Exchange Rates above for further information. At December 31, 2023, $1,212 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 any potential withholding taxes.

We believe our existing consolidated Cash and cash equivalents, available capacity on our revolving credit facilities, 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 December 31, 2023, our available borrowing capacity on revolving credit facilities was $3,077. We are currently compliant with covenants and do not currently anticipate any events or circumstances that would impact our ability to access funds available on this facility. Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our Debt.

Our financial position was as follows:

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations was $2,754 in 2023, a decrease in cash provided of $444 from the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the Peñasquito labor strike, lower sales at Akyem, partially offset by income provided by the newly acquired sites and higher average realized prices for gold, silver and copper.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities of continuing operations was $(1,002) in 2023, a decrease in cash used of $1,981 from the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to higher net maturities of time deposits and cash acquired as a result of the Newcrest transaction in 2023, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in 2023.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(1,603) in 2023, a decrease in cash used of $753 from the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of non-controlling interest in Yanacocha in 2022 and lower dividend payments in 2023.

Capital Resources

In February 2024, the Board declared a dividend of $0.25 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.

Additionally, in February 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase shares of outstanding common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock award vesting and to provide returns to shareholders, provided that the aggregate value of shares of common stock repurchased under the new program does not exceed $1 billion. The program will expire after 24 months (in February 2026). The program will be executed at the Company’s discretion, utilizing open market repurchases to occur from time to time throughout the authorization period. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount during the authorization period. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future.

Capital Expenditures

Cash generated from operations is used to execute our capital priorities, which include sustaining and developing our global portfolio of long-lived assets. Our near-term development capital projects include Tanami Expansion 2 and Ahafo North, as well as the Cadia Block Caves project which was acquired in the Newcrest transaction.

These projects are being funded from existing liquidity and will continue to be funded from future operating cash flows. Capital costs are estimated to be between $1,700 and $1,800 for Tanami Expansion 2 with an expected commercial production date in the second half of 2027. Capital costs are estimated to be between $950 and $1,050 for Ahafo North with an expected commercial production date in late 2025. Additionally, on September 30, 2023, the San Marcos deposit achieved commercial production, the first of six ore bodies in the Cerro Negro expansion projects.

We consider sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations, where these projects will enhance production or reserves, are considered non-sustaining or development capital. The Company’s decision to reprioritize, sell or abandon a development project, which may include returning mining concessions to host governments, could result in a future impairment charge.

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 market volatility, in the second quarter of 2023 the Company announced the delay of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru. Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In 2020, we announced climate targets to reduce GHG emissions and plans to invest in climate change initiatives in support of this goal, which may be capital in nature. As part of these initiatives, in November 2021, Newmont announced a strategic alliance with CAT with the aim to develop and implement a comprehensive all-electric autonomous mining system to achieve zero emissions mining. To support this alliance, Newmont pledged a preliminary investment of $100, of which $56 has been paid as of December 31, 2023 and is recognized in Advanced projects, research and development within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining pledged amount is anticipated to be paid as certain milestones are reached through 2026.

Other investments supporting our climate change initiatives are expected to include emissions reduction projects and renewable energy opportunities as we seek to achieve these climate targets. For risks related to climate-related capital expenditures, refer to Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors.

Debt

Debt and Corporate Revolving Credit Facilities. The Company from time to time will redeem its outstanding senior notes ahead of their scheduled maturity dates utilizing Cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, depending upon market conditions and strategic considerations, we may choose to refinance debt in the capital markets.

At December 31, 2023, our future debt maturities of $9,197 include $1,231 that mature beginning in 2024. We generally expect to be able to fund maturities of debt from Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, existing cash balances and available credit facilities.

In December 2023, we completed a like-for-like exchange for the any and all of the outstanding notes issued by Newcrest Finance Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont ("Newcrest Finance"), with an aggregate principal amount of $1,650, for new notes issued by Newmont and Newcrest Finance and nominal cash consideration. The new notes, issued December 28, 2023, and the existing Newcrest and Newcrest Finance notes that were not tendered for exchange, consist of $625 and $25 of 3.25% notes due May 13, 2030 (the "May 2030 Senior Notes" and the "2030 Newcrest Senior Notes", respectively), $460 and $40 of 5.75% notes due November 15, 2041 (the "November 2041 Senior Notes" and the "2041 Newcrest Senior Notes", respectively), and $486 and $14 of 4.20% notes due May 13, 2050, respectively (the "May 2050 Senior Notes" and the "2050 Newcrest Senior Notes", respectively).

In connection with the Newcrest transaction, the Company acquired bilateral bank debt facilities (the "bilateral facilities") held with 13 banks. The bilateral bank debt facilities have a total borrowing capacity of $2,000 with $77 available at December 31, 2023. These are committed unsecured revolving facilities, individually negotiated and documented with each bank but with similar terms and conditions. The facilities are on customary terms and conditions and include certain financial covenants. Interest is based on Term SOFR plus a credit spread and margin. At December 31, 2023, there was $1,923 in outstanding borrowings on the facilities with $462 due February 7, 2024, $769 due March 1, 2024 and $692 due March 1, 2026. The facilities due February 7, 2024 include the 3 banks that exercised their option under the change of effective control event. On February 7, 2024, the Company repaid the 3 non-consenting banks with a total borrowing capacity of $462.

On February 15, 2024, the Company completed an amendment and restatement of its existing $3,000 revolving credit agreement dated as of April 4, 2019 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Existing Credit Agreement was entered into with a syndicate of financial institutions and provided for borrowings in U.S. dollars and contained a letter of credit sub-facility. Per the amendment, the expiration date of the credit facility was extended from March 30, 2026 to February 15, 2029 and the borrowing capacity was increased to $4,000. Interest is based on Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and margin.

Concurrently, the Company completed a drawdown on the $4,000 revolving credit agreement and used the proceeds thereof to repay the remaining $1,461 owed on the remaining bilateral bank debt facilities.

Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Debt Covenants

Our senior notes and revolving credit facilities contain various covenants and default provisions including payment defaults, limitation on liens, leases, sales and leaseback agreements and merger restrictions. Furthermore, our senior notes and corporate revolving credit facility contain covenants that include, limiting the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, certain change of control provisions and a negative pledge on certain assets.

The corporate revolving credit facility contains a financial ratio covenant requiring us to maintain a net debt (total debt net of Cash and cash equivalents) to total capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 62.50% in addition to the covenants noted above. The bilateral bank debt facilities contain the following covenants: (i) tangible net worth not less than $1 billion; (ii) an interest coverage ratio, calculated on a 12 month rolling basis, to be greater than or equal to 2.75:1; and (iii) and total net liabilities to tangible net worth to not exceed 1.75:1.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we were in compliance with all existing debt covenants and provisions related to potential defaults, other than the bilateral facilities which have been repaid as of the date of this report.

Letters of Credit and Other Guarantees

We have off-balance sheet arrangements of $2,123 of outstanding surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees (refer to Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). At December 31, 2023, $— of the $3,000 corporate revolving credit facility was used to secure the issuance of letters of credit. Refer to Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Co-Issuer and Supplemental Guarantor Information

The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, of 1933, as amended, which enables us to issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, warrants and units (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, our debt securities may be guaranteed by Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), one of our consolidated subsidiaries.

Newmont and Newcrest Finance, as issuers, and Newmont USA, as guarantor, are collectively referred to here-within as the "Obligor Group".

These guarantees are full and unconditional, and none of our other subsidiaries guarantee any security issued and outstanding. The cash provided by operations of the Obligor Group, and all of its subsidiaries, is available to satisfy debt repayments as they become due, and there are no material restrictions on the ability of the Obligor Group to obtain funds from subsidiaries by dividend, loan, or otherwise, except to the extent of any rights noncontrolling interests, foreign currency or regulatory restrictions limiting repatriation of cash. Net assets attributable to noncontrolling interests were $178 at December 31, 2023. All noncontrolling interests relate to non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Newmont and Newmont USA are primarily holding companies with no material operations, sources of income or assets other than equity interest in their subsidiaries and intercompany receivables or payables. Newcrest Finance is a finance subsidiary with no material assets or operations other than those related to issued external debt. Newmont USA’s primary investments are comprised of its 38.5% interest in NGM. For further information regarding these and our other operations, refer to Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Results of Consolidated Operations, above.

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


	December 31, 2023
	Obligor Group		Newmont USA
Current intercompany assets	$	14,776	$	8,713
Non-current intercompany assets	$	500	$	483
Current intercompany liabilities	$	13,716	$	1,652
Current external debt	$	1,923	$	—

Non-current external debt	$	6,944	$	—

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.

115

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2023, Newmont USA had approximately $8,867 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2023, (i) Newmont’s total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $9,436, none of which was secured (other than $562 of Lease and other financing obligations), and (ii) Newmont’s non-guarantor subsidiaries had $22,756 of total liabilities (including trade payables, but excluding intercompany, external debt, and reclamation and remediation liabilities), which would have been structurally senior to Newmont’s debt securities.

For further information on our debt, refer to Note 20 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)Finance lease and other financing obligations includes finance lease payments of $733 and additional payments of $11 for finance leases that have not yet commenced.

(3)Mining operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Pursuant to environmental regulations, we are required to close our operations and reclaim and remediate the lands that operations have disturbed. The estimated undiscounted cash outflows of these Reclamation and remediation liabilities are reflected here. For more information regarding reclamation and remediation liabilities, refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4)Contractual obligations for Employee-related benefits include severance, workers’ participation, pension and other benefit plans. Pension plan and other benefit payments beyond 2033 cannot be reasonably estimated given variable market conditions and actuarial assumptions and are not included.

(5)We are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of our uncertain income tax liabilities and interest payments due to uncertainties in the timing of the effective settlement of tax positions.

(6)Operating lease and other obligations includes operating lease payments of $120 and additional payments of $— for operating leases that have not yet commenced.

(7)Minimum royalty payments are related to continuing operations and are presented net of recoverable amounts.

(9)Other includes service contracts and other obligations not recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the obligation related to the funding of Barrick's portion of pre-feasibility costs associated with Norte Abierto and the Galore Creek deferred payment obligations accrued in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities.

Environmental

Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. We perform a comprehensive review of our reclamation and remediation liabilities annually and review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly. Notably, Newmont is committed to the implementation of GISTM for tailing storage facilities by 2025. Compliance with GISTM remains on-going and has and may continue to result in further increases to our estimated sustaining costs and closure costs for existing operations and non-operating sites. Additionally, laws, regulations and permit requirements focused on water management and discharge requirements for operations and water treatment in connection with closure are becoming increasingly stringent. Compliance with water management and discharge quality remains dynamic and has and may continue to result in further increases to our estimated closure costs.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, $8,385 and $6,731, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing or development stage mineral properties, of which $558 and $482, respectively, were classified as current liabilities.

In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former, primarily historical, mining activities. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $401 and $373 were accrued for such obligations at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $61 and $44, respectively, were classified as current liabilities. We spent $44, $56 and $43 during 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former mining activities.

Reclamation and remediation adjustments during 2023 primarily related to increased water management costs at portions of our Yanacocha site operations that are no longer in production and with no expected substantive future economic value (i.e., non-operating) and higher water management costs and project execution delays at the Midnite mine and Dawn mill sites. Reclamation and remediation adjustments during 2022 primarily related to (i) increased water management costs at portions of our Yanacocha and Porcupine site operations that are non-operating (ii) increased costs due to closure plan design changes at our Porcupine site operations (iii) higher waste disposal costs and project execution delays at the Midnite mine and Dawn mill sites and (iv) higher estimated closure costs due to cost inflation.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, capital expenditures were approximately $41, $29, and $13, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations.

Our sustainability strategy is a foundational element in achieving our purpose to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining. Sustainability and safety are integrated into the business at all levels of the organization through our global policies, standards, strategies, business plans and remuneration plans. For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, refer to Notes 6 and 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For discussion of regulatory, tailings, water, climate and other environmental risks, refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, for additional information.

Forward-Looking Statements

The foregoing discussion and analysis, as well as certain information contained elsewhere in this Annual Report, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created thereby. For a more detailed discussion of risks and other factors that might impact forward-looking statements and other important information about forward-looking statements, refer to the discussion in Forward-Looking Statements in Part I, Item 1, Business and Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Accounting Developments

For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements. We have identified the accounting estimates listed below as critical to understanding and evaluating the financial results reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. These accounting estimates require the application of significant management judgment and are critical due to the significant level of estimation uncertainty regarding the assumptions involved and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue or expense being reported. We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and various other sources that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We review the underlying factors used in our estimates regularly, including reviewing the significant accounting policies

117

Table of Contents

impacting the estimates, to ensure compliance with GAAP. However, due to the uncertainty inherent in our estimates, actual results may materially differ from the estimates we calculate due to changes in circumstances, global economics and politics, and general business conditions. A summary of our significant accounting policies is detailed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations

We recognize and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, while transaction and integration costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase consideration when compared to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill. For material acquisitions, we engage independent appraisers to assist with the determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using: (i) discrete financial forecasts, which rely on management’s estimates of reserves, resources and exploration potential quantities, costs to produce and develop reserves, revenues, and operating expenses; (ii) short-term and long-term metal price assumptions, (iii) long-term growth rates; (iv) appropriate discount rates; and (v) expected future capital requirements(“income valuation method”). The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalized for any differences between the assets (“market valuation method”). The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset (“cost valuation method”). The fair value of property, plant and mine development is estimated to include the fair value of asset retirement costs of related long lived tangible assets. If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate is recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition date, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, we record any material adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the date of the acquisition. Any adjustment that arises from information obtained that did not exist as of the date of the acquisition is recorded in the period the adjustments arises.

Depreciation and amortization

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to amortize such costs over the estimated future lives of such facilities or equipment and their components. Facilities and equipment acquired as a part of a finance lease, build-to-suit or other financing arrangement are recorded based on the contractual lease terms. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the lesser of the lease terms or the estimated productive lives of such facilities. These lives do not exceed the estimated mine life based on proven and probable reserves as the useful lives of these assets are considered to be limited to the life of the relevant mine.

Costs incurred to develop new properties are capitalized as incurred where it has been determined that the property can be economically developed based on the existence of proven and probable reserves. At our surface mines, these costs include costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body. At our underground mines, these costs include the cost of building access ways, shaft sinking and access, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure development. All such costs are amortized using the UOP method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds to be produced from proven and probable reserves.

Major mine development costs incurred after the commencement of production that are capitalized are amortized using the UOP method based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds to be produced from proven and probable reserves. To the extent that such costs benefit the entire ore body, they are amortized over the estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves of the entire ore body. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that block or area are amortized over the estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves of that specific ore block or area.

Capitalized asset retirement costs incurred are amortized according to how the related assets are being depreciated. Open pit and underground mining costs are amortized using the UOP method based on recoverable ounces by source. Other costs, including leaching facilities, tailing facilities, and mills and other infrastructure costs, are amortized using the straight-line method over the same estimated future lives of the associated assets.

The calculation of the UOP rate of amortization, and therefore the annual amortization charge to operations, could be materially impacted to the extent that actual production in the future is different from current forecasts of production based on proven and probable reserves. This would generally occur to the extent that there were significant changes in any of the factors or assumptions used in determining reserves. These changes could include: (i) an expansion of proven and probable reserves through exploration activities; (ii) differences between estimated and actual costs of production, due to differences in grade, metal recovery rates and foreign currency exchange rates; and (iii) differences between actual commodity prices and commodity price assumptions used in the estimation of reserves. If reserves decreased significantly, amortization charged to operations would increase; conversely, if reserves increased significantly, amortization charged to operations would decrease. Such changes in reserves could similarly impact

118

the useful lives of assets depreciated on a straight-line basis, where those lives are limited to the life of the mine, which in turn is limited to the life of the proven and probable reserves.

The expected useful lives used in depreciation and amortization calculations are determined based on applicable facts and circumstances, as described above. Significant judgment is involved in the determination of useful lives, and no assurance can be given that actual useful lives will not differ significantly from the useful lives assumed for the purpose of depreciation and amortization calculations.

Carrying value of stockpiles

Stockpiles represent ore that has been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. Mine sequencing may result in mining material at a faster rate than can be processed. We generally process the highest ore grade material first to maximize metal production; however, a blend of ore stockpiles may be processed to balance hardness and/or metallurgy in order to maximize throughput and recovery. Processing of lower grade stockpiled ore may continue after mining operations are completed. Sulfide copper ores are subject to oxidation over time which can reduce expected future recoveries. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained ounces or pounds (based on assay data), and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Stockpile ore tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are added to stockpiles based on current mining costs, including applicable overhead and depreciation and amortization relating to mining operations and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per recoverable unit as material is processed.

We record stockpiles at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, and carrying values are evaluated at least quarterly. Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals price assumptions that are applied to expected short-term (12 months or less) and long-term sales from stockpiles, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of stockpiles include declines in short-term or long-term metals prices, increases in costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies, as well as realized mineral grades and recovery rates. The significant assumption in determining the stockpile net realizable value for each mine site at December 31, 2023 is a long-term gold price of $1,700 per ounce. A decrease of $100 per ounce in the long-term gold price assumption will not result in a material write-down to the carrying value of our stockpiles.

Other assumptions include future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors unique to each operation based on the life of mine plans, as well as long-term commodity prices and applicable U.S. dollar long-term exchange rates. If short-term and long-term commodity prices decrease, estimated future processing costs increase, or other negative factors occur, it may be necessary to record a write-down of stockpiles. 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.

Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding stockpiles.

Carrying value of ore on leach pads

Ore on leach pads represent ore that has been mined and placed on leach pads where a solution is applied to the surface of the heap to dissolve the gold, copper or silver. Costs are added to ore on leach pads based on current mining costs, including applicable depreciation and amortization relating to mining operations. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces or pounds are recovered based on the average cost per estimated recoverable ounce of gold or silver or pound of copper on the leach pad.

Estimates of recoverable ore on the leach pads are calculated from the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tons added to the leach pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data) and a recovery percentage (based on ore type). In general, leach pads recover between 50% and 95% of the recoverable ounces in the first year of leaching, declining each year thereafter until the leaching process is complete.

Although the quantities of recoverable metal placed on the leach pads are reconciled by comparing the grades of ore placed on pads to the quantities of metal actually recovered (metallurgical balancing), the nature of the leaching process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, the metallurgical balancing process is constantly monitored and estimates are refined based on actual results over time. Historically, our operating results have not been materially impacted by variations between the estimated and actual recoverable quantities of metal on our leach pads. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. The significant assumption in determining the net realizable value for each mine site at December 31, 2023 is a long-term gold price of $1,700 per ounce. A decrease of $100 per ounce in the long-term gold price assumption will not result in a material write-down of the carrying value of the leach pads.

Other assumptions include future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors unique to each operation based on the life of mine plans, as well as a long-term metal prices. If short-term and long-term commodity prices decrease, estimated future processing costs increase, or other negative factors occur, it may be necessary to record a write-down of ore on leach pads to net realizable value.

Carrying value of long-lived assets

We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Significant negative industry or economic trends, adverse social or political developments, declines in our market capitalization, geotechnical difficulties, reduced estimates of future cash flows from our reporting segments or other disruptions to our business are a few examples of events that we monitor, as they could indicate that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets, including development projects, may not be recoverable. In such cases, a recoverability test may be necessary to determine if an impairment charge is required.

For development projects, including our Conga project which is discussed further below, we review and evaluate changes to project plans and timing to determine continued technical, economic and social viability of the projects. If the Company determines to sell or abandon a project due to uncertainty from changes in circumstances related to technical, economic, social, political or community factors, or other evolving circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, then a recoverability test is performed to determine if an impairment charge should be recorded.

An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets being tested for impairment and their carrying amounts. Fair value is typically determined through the use of an income approach utilizing estimates of discounted pre-tax future cash flows or a market approach utilizing recent transaction activity for comparable properties. These approaches are primarily considered Level 3 fair value measurements. Occasionally, such as when an asset is held for sale, market prices are used. We believe our estimates and models used to determine fair value are similar to what a market participant would use.

The estimated undiscounted cash flows used to assess recoverability of long-lived assets and to measure the fair value of our mining operations are derived from current business plans, which are developed using short-term price forecasts reflective of the current price environment and our projections for long-term average metal prices. In addition to short- and long-term metal price assumptions, other assumptions include estimates of commodity-based and other input costs; proven and probable mineral reserves estimates, including the timing and cost to develop and produce the reserves; value beyond proven and probable mineral reserve estimates; estimated future closure costs; the use of appropriate discount rates; and applicable U.S. dollar long-term exchange rates. Refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The significant assumption in determining the future cash flows for each mine site at December 31, 2023 is a long-term gold price of $1,700 per ounce. A decrease of $100 per ounce in the long-term gold price assumption could result in an impairment of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, of up to approximately $4,100 before consideration of other value beyond proven and probable reserves which may significantly decrease the amount of any potential impairment charge.

As discussed above under Depreciation and amortization, various factors could impact our ability to achieve our forecasted production schedules from proven and probable reserves which could impact the carrying value of our long-lived assets. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified measured, indicated and inferred resources could ultimately be mined economically. Assets classified as exploration potential have the highest level of risk that the carrying value of the asset can be ultimately realized, due to the still lower level of geological confidence and economic modeling.

Events that could result in additional impairment of our long-lived assets include, but are not limited to, decreases in future metal prices, unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates, increases in future closure costs, and any event that might otherwise have a material adverse effect on mine site cash flows.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment annually as of December 31, 2023 and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Each operating mine is considered a distinct reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment when it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is higher than its carrying value. At the Company's election or if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using either the income approach utilizing estimates of discounted future cash flows or the market valuation approach utilizing recent transaction activity for comparable properties. These approaches are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Any impairment loss recognized in the current period is not reversed in future periods. The Company recognizes its pro rata share of Goodwill and any subsequent goodwill impairment losses recorded by entities that are proportionately consolidated.

120

Table of Contents

When the income approach is utilized to determine fair value, the estimated cash flows used to assess the fair value of a reporting unit 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 average metal prices. The significant assumption in determining the future cash flows for each mine site at December 31, 2023 is a long-term gold price of $1,700 per ounce. In addition to short- and long-term metal price assumptions, other assumptions include estimates of commodity-based and other input costs; proven and probable mineral reserves estimates, including the timing and cost to develop and produce the reserves; value beyond proven and probable estimates; estimated future closure costs; the use of appropriate discount rates; and applicable U.S. dollar long-term exchange rates. Refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. For testing purposes of our reporting units, management's best estimates of the expected future results are the primary driver in determining the fair value. However, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to, such items as: (i) a decrease in forecasted production levels if we are unable to realize the mineable reserves, resources and exploration potential at our mining properties and extend the life of mine (ii) increased production or capital costs (iii) adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions including the market price of metals and changes in the equity and debt markets or country specific factors which could result in higher discount rates, (iv) significant unfavorable changes in tax rates including increased corporate income or mining tax rates, and (v) negative changes in regulation, legislation, and political environments which could impact our ability to operate in the future. Refer to Notes 7 and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding goodwill.

Carrying value of Conga

We review and evaluate the Company’s Conga development project for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We have considered a variety of technical, economic, social and political developments related to the Conga project during our evaluation of impairment indicators since November 2011, when construction and development activities at the project were largely suspended. Project activities in recent years have focused on continued engagement with the local communities and maintaining and protecting existing project infrastructure and equipment through our active care and maintenance program. Although we have reclassified Conga reserves to resources and reallocated exploration and development capital to other projects, we continue to evaluate long-term options to progress development of the Conga project and improve social and political acceptance. While we have reprioritized the Yanacocha Sulfides project ahead of the Conga project, we have delayed the full-funds decision and are currently in the process of assessing project plan options for the Yanacocha Sulfides project. The Company also periodically updates the economic model for its Conga project to understand changes to the estimated capital costs, cash flows, and economic returns from the project. As of December 31, 2023, we have not identified events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the Conga project is not recoverable.

Derivative Instruments

All financial instruments that meet the definition of a derivative are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, except for the portion of the change in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges. Management applies judgment in estimating the fair value of instruments that are highly sensitive to assumptions such as life of mine production profiles, commodity prices, market volatilities, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Variations in these factors could materially affect amounts credited or charged to earnings to reflect the changes in fair value of derivatives. Certain derivative contracts are designated as effective cash flow hedges, whereby the changes in fair value of these instruments are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the underlying transaction designated as the hedged item impacts earnings. To the extent that management determines that the forecasted transactions are no longer probable of occurring, gains and losses deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to the Consolidated Statements of Operations immediately.

Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding derivative instruments.

Reclamation and remediation obligations

The Company records the estimated asset retirement obligations associated with operating and non-operating mine sites when an obligation is incurred and the fair value can be reasonably estimated. Fair value is measured as the present value of expected cash flow estimates, after considering inflation, our credit-adjusted risk-free rates and a market risk premium appropriate for our operations. Reclamation costs are allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. Reclamation obligations are based on our best estimate of when the expected spending for an existing environmental disturbance will occur. Our cost estimates are reflected on a third-party cost basis and comply with our legal obligation to retire long-lived assets in the period incurred. Changes in reclamation estimates at non-operating mines where the mine or portion of the mine site has entered the closure phase and has no substantive future economic value are reflected in earnings in the period an

121

Table of Contents

estimate is revised. Costs included in estimated asset retirement obligations are discounted to their present value and are estimated over a period of up to fifty years. We review, on at least an annual basis, the reclamation obligation at each mine.

Remediation costs are accrued when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Such cost estimates may include ongoing care, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in remediation estimates at non-operating mines are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. Water treatment costs included in environmental remediation obligations are discounted to their present value and are estimated over a period of up to fifty years.

Accounting for reclamation and remediation obligations requires management to make estimates unique to each mining operation of the future costs the Company expects to incur to complete the reclamation and remediation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. These estimates require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying inputs and assumptions. Such changes, including, but not limited to, (i) changes to environmental laws and regulations, which could increase the scope and extent of work required, (ii) changes in the timing of reclamation and remediation activities, which could occur over an extended future period and (iii) changes in the methods and technology utilized to settle reclamation and remediation obligations, could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding reclamation and remediation obligations.

Income and mining taxes

We account for income taxes using the liability method, recognizing certain temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of our liabilities and assets and the related income tax basis for such liabilities and assets. This method generates either a net deferred income tax liability or asset for us, as measured by the statutory tax rates in effect. We derive our deferred income tax charge or benefit by recording the change in either the net deferred income tax liability or asset balance for the year. The financial statement effects of changes in tax law are recorded as discrete items in the period enacted as part of income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations, regardless of the category of income or loss to which the deferred taxes relate. We have exposure to the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on tax positions in certain jurisdictions, such movements are recorded within Income and mining tax benefit (expense) related to deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as non-current uncertain tax positions, while foreign exchange fluctuations impacting current tax positions are recorded within Other income (loss), net as foreign currency exchange gains (losses). With respect to the earnings that we derive from the operations of our consolidated subsidiaries, in those situations where the earnings are indefinitely reinvested, no deferred taxes have been provided on the unremitted earnings (including the excess of the carrying value of the net equity of such entities for financial reporting purposes over the tax basis of such equity) of these consolidated companies.

Mining taxes represent state and provincial taxes levied on mining operations and are classified as income taxes as such taxes are based on a percentage of mining profits.

Our operations are in multiple jurisdictions where uncertainties arise in the application of complex tax regulations. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, while others are defined by general tax laws and regulations. We are subject to reviews of our income tax filings and other tax payments, and disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation of its contracts or laws. We recognize potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether it is more likely than not, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. If our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be greater than the ultimate assessment, a tax benefit would result. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income and mining tax benefit (expense). In certain jurisdictions, we must pay a portion of the disputed amount to the local government in order to formally appeal the assessment. Such payment is recorded as a receivable if we believe the amount is ultimately collectible.

Valuation of deferred tax assets

Our deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. We record a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when we believe, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. We review the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence.

Certain categories of evidence carry more weight in the analysis than others based upon the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. We look to the nature and severity of cumulative pretax losses (if any) in the current three-year period ending on the evaluation date or the expectation of future pretax losses and the existence and frequency of prior cumulative pretax losses.

122

Table of Contents

We utilize a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss as a measure of our cumulative results in recent years. Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. However, a cumulative three year loss is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. We also consider all other available positive and negative evidence in our analysis.

Other factors considered in the determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to:

•Earnings history;

•Projected future financial and taxable income based upon existing reserves and long-term estimates of commodity prices;

•The duration of statutory carry forward periods;

•Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies readily available that may alter the timing of reversal of the temporary difference;

•Nature of temporary differences and predictability of reversal patterns of existing temporary differences; and

•The sensitivity of future forecasted results to commodity prices and other factors.

The Company assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence is recent pretax losses and/or expectations of future pretax losses. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence including projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, a valuation allowance has been recorded in Peru and Argentina. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail on the valuation allowance.

For additional risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A. 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. The Company does not currently hold instruments that are designated to hedge against the potential impacts due to market price changes in metals. Consideration of these impacts are discussed below.

Decreases in the market price of metals can 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 the carrying value of our long-lived assets and goodwill. For information concerning the sensitivity of our impairment analysis over long-lived assets and goodwill to changes in metal price, refer to Critical Accounting Estimates within Item 7, MD&A, and Notes 2, 7 and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 December 31, 2023 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, and the following short-term and long-term assumptions:

123

Table of Contents


	Short-term		Long-term
Gold price (per ounce)	$	1,971	$	1,700
Copper price (per pound)	$	3.70	$	3.75
Silver price (per ounce)	$	23.20	$	22.00
Lead price (per pound)	$	0.96	$	0.90
Zinc price (per pound)	$	1.13	$	1.25
AUD to USD exchange rate	$	0.65	$	0.70
CAD to USD exchange rate	$	0.73	$	0.75
MXN to USD exchange rate	$	0.06	$	0.05

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. For information concerning the sensitivity of our stockpiles and ore on leach pads to changes in metal price, refer to Critical Accounting Estimates within Item 7, MD&A.

Interest Rate Risk

We have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. Changes in interest rates impact the cash flows of variable-rate debt but generally do not impact their fair value. Conversely, changes in interest rates impact the fair value of fixed-rate debt but do not impact their cash flows.

Fixed-rate debt. 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. Refer to Note 20 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information pertaining to the fair value of our fixed rate debt.

Variable-rate debt. Our variable-rate debt at December 31, 2023 consists of the bilateral bank debt facilities acquired in connection with the Newcrest transaction. The bilateral bank debt facilities have a total borrowing capacity of $2,000 with $77 available at December 31, 2023. Interest is based on Term SOFR plus a credit spread and margin.

We performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate the impact to Interest expense, net of capitalized interest arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement to the year-end SOFR rate as at December 31, 2023. The sensitivity analysis, which included the high-end of the margin, indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement would result in an approximate $2 increase to Interest expense, net of capitalized interest for the period from acquisition on November 6, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

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, Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Fiji 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 U.S. dollar can increase or decrease profit margins, cash flow and Costs applicable to sales per ounce 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 December 31, 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 $58 increase to Costs applicable to sales per gold ounce at December 31, 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 designated the fixed forward contracts as foreign currency cash flow hedges against the forecasted CAD-denominated and AUD denominated operating expenditures. The hedge programs matured as of December 31, 2023.

124

Table of Contents

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 December 31, 2023, using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the AUD foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The analysis covered all of our AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts. The foreign currency exchange rates we used in performing the sensitivity analysis were based on AUD market rates in effect at December 31, 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 $15 at December 31, 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.

Refer to Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative instruments.

Commodity Price Exposure

Our provisional concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Newmont Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Newmont Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, the related notes and the financial statement schedule in Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We did not audit the financial statements of Nevada Gold Mines LLC, a 38.5% owned investment which is proportionately consolidated, which reflects total assets constituting 13% and 19% at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and sales constituting 19%, 18%, and 19% in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Nevada Gold Mines LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 framework, and our report dated February 29, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.


			Business Combination
Description of the Matter			As discussed in Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements, during 2023 the Company completed its acquisition of Newcrest Mining Limited for consideration of $13,549 million. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Auditing management’s accounting for the business combination was challenging due to the significant estimation required by management to determine the provisional fair values of mineral interests (included in property, plant and mine development, net) and significant judgment required to evaluate management’s estimate. The significant judgment was primarily due to the sensitivity of the significant underlying assumptions to the estimated fair values. Significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of mineral interests included long-term metal prices, estimated quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources, and the weighted average cost of capital. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

Table of Contents


How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit			We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s accounting for the business combination and valuation of the acquired assets. For example, we tested controls over management’s valuation of acquired mineral interests, including the review of the valuation model and underlying assumptions used to develop such estimates. Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the Company's valuation methodology, significant assumptions used by the Company, and evaluating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates. We involved our valuation specialists to assist with our evaluation of the selection and application of the valuation methodology used by the Company and significant assumptions included in the fair value estimates. We compared the long-term metal prices to consensus market views of future prices. We assessed the estimated quantities of ore reserves and mineral resources by comparing to information compiled by qualified persons and evaluated extraction and production of those quantities compared to historical performance. We examined the inputs to the weighted average cost of capital assumptions.
			Reclamation liabilities
Description of the Matter			As discussed in Notes 2, 6 and 25 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various domestic and international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. Reclamation obligations are recognized when incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. Reclamation liabilities are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. Auditing management’s accounting for reclamation liabilities was challenging, as significant judgment is required by the Company to estimate required cash flows to meet obligations established by mining permits, local statutes and promissory estoppel at the end of mine life as well as estimation of uncertainty inherent in the cash flows. The significant judgment was primarily related to the inherent estimation uncertainty relating to the extent of future reclamation activities and related costs.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit			We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls over the Company’s accounting for reclamation liabilities, including controls over management’s review of estimated future costs and the reclamation liability calculation. To test the reclamation liabilities, among other procedures, we evaluated the methodology, significant assumptions and the underlying data used by the Company in its estimate. To assess the estimates of reclamation activities and cash flows, we evaluated significant changes from the prior estimate, verified consistency between timing of reclamation activities and projected mine life, compared anticipated costs across the Company’s mines, verified cost rates against third-party information or internal cost records and recalculated management’s estimate. We also evaluated the significant assumptions included in the fair value calculation, including market risk premium, cost inflation, and credit-adjusted risk-free rate. We involved our reclamation specialists to interview members of the Company’s engineering staff, assess the completeness of the mine reclamation estimates with respect to meeting mine closure and post closure requirements, and evaluate the reasonableness of the engineering estimates and assumptions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Managers and Members of Nevada Gold Mines LLC

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Nevada Gold Mines LLC and its subsidiaries (together, the Joint Venture) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, of changes in members’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements) (not presented herein). We also have audited the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Joint Venture as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Joint Venture maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Joint Venture’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (not presented herein). Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Joint Venture’s consolidated financial statements and on the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Joint Venture in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the entity; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Board of Managers (acting in a role equivalent to the audit committee) and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on

the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Annual goodwill impairment assessment

As described in Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements of the Joint Venture, the Joint Venture’s goodwill balance was $668 million (at a 100 percent economic interest) as of December 31, 2023. Management conducts an impairment assessment annually in the fourth quarter of each year, and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Joint Venture performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment test for all reporting units. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined through the use of an income approach utilizing discounted estimates of future cash flow models, fair values of mineral resource estimates outside of current business plans and the application of a specific Net Asset Value (NAV) multiple for each reporting unit. The estimated future cash flows used to determine the fair values of reporting units are derived from 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. In addition to short-term and long-term metal price assumptions, other assumptions and estimates used in determining the fair values of reporting units include: operating and capital costs, discount rates, NAV multiples, proven and probable mineral reserves and resources, future production levels and the fair value of mineral resource estimates outside of current business plans. Management’s estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves and resources are based on information compiled by qualified persons (management’s specialists).

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the annual goodwill impairment assessment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management, including the use of management’s specialists, in determining the fair values of the reporting units; (ii) the degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to the assumptions and estimates with respect to short-term and long-term metal prices, operating and capital costs, discount rates, NAV multiples, proven and probable mineral reserves and resources, future production levels and the fair value of mineral resource estimates outside of current business plans; and (iii) the audit effort included the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessments, including controls over the assumptions used in management’s valuation of the Joint Venture’s reporting units. These procedures also included, among others: testing management’s process for determining the fair value of the reporting units; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted estimates of future cash flow models; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the models; and evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions used by management in the estimated fair value of the reporting units. Evaluating the reasonableness of the short-term and long-term metal prices involved comparing those prices to external industry data. Evaluating the reasonableness of operating and capital costs was done by comparing those costs to recent actual operating and capital costs incurred and assessing whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Evaluating the reasonableness of the NAV multiples was done by comparing the assumptions with relevant market information. The work of management’s specialists was used in performing the procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the proven and probable mineral reserves and resources, future production levels and the fair value of mineral resource estimates outside of current business plans. As a basis for using this work, the qualifications of management’s specialists were understood and the Joint Venture’s relationship with management’s specialists was assessed. The procedures performed included evaluation of the methods and assumptions used by management’s specialists, tests of the completeness and accuracy of the data used by management’s specialists, and evaluation of their findings. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge assisted us in evaluating the reasonableness of the discount rates and NAV multiples.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

NOTE 1 THE COMPANY

Newmont Corporation and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”) predominantly operate in the mining industry, focused on the production of and exploration for gold properties, some of which may contain copper, silver, zinc, lead or other metals. The Company has significant operations and/or assets in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Peru, Suriname, Argentina, Chile, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Fiji, and Ghana. The cash flow and profitability of the Company’s operations are significantly affected by the market price of gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc. The prices of gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control.

Planned Divestiture of Non-core Assets (Subsequent Event)

Newcrest Transaction

Segment Information Recast

In January 2023, Newmont reassessed and revised its operating strategies and the accountabilities of the senior leadership team in light of the continuing volatile and uncertain market conditions, and in November 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Newcrest (refer to Note 3 for further information). Following these changes, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect the mining operations acquired and certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by Newmont's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). As a result, the Company determined that its reportable segments were each of its 17 mining operations that it manages, which includes its 70.0% proportionate interest in Red Chris, and its 38.5% proportionate interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") which it does not directly manage. Segment results for the prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.

Loss on Assets Held for Sale

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a binding agreement to sell certain equipment and assets originally acquired for the Conga project in Peru within Corporate and Other (the "Conga mill assets") for total cash proceeds of $68. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the sale is expected to close upon the delivery of the assets and receipt of the final payment at which time title and control of the assets will transfer. Upon entering the binding agreement, the Conga mill assets were reclassified as held for sale and remeasured at fair value less costs to sell. As a result, a loss of $571 was recognized and included in Loss on assets held for sale on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has received payments of $57 included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

GT Gold

In May 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 85.1% interest of GT Gold Corporation (“GT Gold”) for cash consideration, including related transaction costs, of $326. Immediately prior to the acquisition, the Company held a 14.9% equity interest in GT Gold which was accounted for as a marketable equity security. The asset acquisition resulted in total consideration of $378, including non-cash consideration of $52. The non-cash consideration represents the fair value of the 14.9% GT Gold investment held by the Company on the acquisition date. The total consideration paid was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, which primarily consisted of mineral interests of $590 and a related deferred tax liability of $211.

Noncontrolling Interests

Merian

Newmont has a 75% economic interest in Suriname Gold project C.V. (“Merian”), with the remaining interests held by Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (“Staatsolie”), a company wholly owned by the Republic of Suriname. Newmont consolidates Merian, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., in its Consolidated Financial Statements as the primary beneficiary of Merian, which is a variable interest entity. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $(27), $(59) and $(81), respectively, of Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests related to Merian.

Yanacocha

At December 31, 2021, Newmont held a 51.35% ownership interest in Minera Yanacocha S.R.L ("Yanacocha") and consolidated Yanacocha in its Consolidated Financial Statements under the voting interest model. Of the remaining interest, 43.65% was held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura”) and 5% was held by Summit Global Management II VB, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation (“Sumitomo”). Sumitomo had acquired its 5% interest in Yanacocha for $48 in cash. Under the terms of the acquisition, Sumitomo had the option to require Yanacocha to repurchase the interest for the $48, which was placed in escrow. Sumitomo exercised this option, and in June 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 5% ownership interest held by Sumitomo in exchange for cash consideration of $48.

Additionally in 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Buenaventura’s ownership in Yanacocha, resulting in the Company holding 100% ownership interest in Yanacocha. The Company acquired Buenaventura’s 43.65% noncontrolling interest in Yanacocha (the “Yanacocha Transaction”) for $300 cash consideration, certain royalties on any production from other future potential projects, and contingent payments of up to $100 tied to higher metal prices, achieving commercial production at the Yanacocha Sulfides project and resolution on the outstanding Yanacocha tax dispute. The Yanacocha Transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, resulting in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital and no gain or loss recognition.

Concurrent with the Yanacocha Transaction, the Company sold its 46.94% ownership interest in Minera La Zanja S.R.L. ("La Zanja"), accounted for as an equity method investment with a carrying value of $— as of December 31, 2021. Per the terms of the sale, the Company sold its interest in La Zanja to Buenaventura, the parent company of La Zanja, in exchange for royalties on potential future production from the La Zanja operation and contributed cash of $45 to be used exclusively for reclamation costs at the La Zanja operation. Upon close of the sale in 2022, the Company recognized a $45 loss on sale of its equity interest, included in Other income (loss), net.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $(1) and $1,014, respectively, of Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests related to Yanacocha. No Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests related to Yanacocha was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023, as the Company held 100% ownership interest in Yanacocha.

Discontinued Operations

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations includes results related to the Batu Hijau and Elang contingent consideration assets associated with the sale of PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara in 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded income of $27, $30 and $57, net of a tax expense of $5, $4 and $10, respectively, within discontinued operations. The Company received $9, $22 and $13 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to discontinued operations. Refer to contingent consideration assets in Note 14 for additional information.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing metal prices, primarily for gold, but also for copper, silver, lead, and zinc. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; certain Derivative assets; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

The following 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, energy market disruptions, as well as potential impacts to estimated costs and timing of projects. In light of these challenging conditions, the Company recorded long-lived asset and goodwill impairment charges at December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 7 for further information.

Additionally, as further response to the current market conditions, high inflation rates, the rising prices for commodities and raw materials, prolonged supply chain disruptions, competitive labor markets, and consideration of capital allocation, in the second quarter of 2023 the Company announced the deferral of the full-funds investment decision for the Yanacocha Sulfides project in Peru for at least two years to the second half of 2026. While the Company has extended the timeline of the full-funds decision, assessment of the project remains a priority in Peru as the Company continued to advance engineering and long-term procurement activities. The delay of the Yanacocha Sulfides project is intended to focus funds on current operations and other capital commitments while management assesses execution and project options, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure. To the extent that assessment determines that the project is no longer sufficiently profitable or economically feasible under the Company’s internal requirements, it would result in negative modifications to the Company's proven and probable reserves. Additionally, should the Company ultimately decide to forgo the development of Yanacocha Sulfides, the current carrying value of the assets under construction and other long-lived assets of the Yanacocha operations could become impaired and the timing of certain closure activities would be accelerated. As of December 31, 2023, the Yanacocha operations have total long-lived assets of approximately $1,269, inclusive of approximately $911 of assets under construction related to Yanacocha Sulfides. Refer also to the Company's risk factors under the titles “Estimates relating to projects and mine plans of existing operations are uncertain and we may incur higher costs and lower economic returns than estimated ” and ”Our long-lived assets and goodwill could become impaired, which could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations” included in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, for further information.

Additionally, the Company continues to hold the Conga project in Peru, which we do not currently anticipate developing in the next ten years as we continue to assess Yanacocha Sulfides; accordingly, the Conga project remains in care and maintenance. Should we be unable to develop the Conga project or conclude that future development is not in the best interest of the business, we may consider other alternatives for the project, which may result in a future impairment charge for the remaining assets. The total assets at Conga were $895 and $900 at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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

The Cerro Negro mine, located in Argentina, is a USD functional currency entity. Argentina’s central bank has enacted a number of foreign currency controls in an effort to stabilize the local currency, including requiring the Company to convert U.S. dollar proceeds from metal sales to local currency and restricting payments to foreign-related entities denominated in foreign currency, such as dividends or distributions to the parent and related companies. We continue to monitor the foreign currency exposure risk and the limitations of repatriating cash to the United States. Currently, these currency controls are not expected to impact the Company's ability to repay its debt obligations or declare dividends.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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.

The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of-production amortization calculations; environmental remediation, reclamation and closure obligations; estimates of recoverable gold and other minerals in stockpile and leach pad inventories; estimates of fair value for certain reporting units and asset impairments (including impairments of long-lived assets, goodwill and investments); write-downs of inventory, stockpiles and ore on leach pads to net realizable value; post-employment, post-retirement and other employee benefit liabilities; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; provisional amounts related to income tax effects of newly enacted tax laws; provisional amounts related to uncertain tax positions; valuation of assets acquired and liabilities

assumed in a business combination; reserves for contingencies and litigation; and the fair value and accounting treatment of financial instruments including marketable and other equity securities and derivative instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results will differ from those amounts estimated in these financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Newmont Corporation, more-than-50%-owned subsidiaries that it controls and variable interest entities where it is the primary beneficiary. The proportionate consolidation method is used for investments in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and operations and for certain unincorporated joint ventures in the extractive industry. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Equity method accounting is applied for certain entities where the Company does not have control, but does have significant influence over the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ operations and financial performance. The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the U.S. dollar.

The Company follows the ASC guidance for identification and reporting of entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. The guidance defines such entities as Variable Interest Entities.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition Accounting

The Company applies a screen test to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination.

When an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination because either: (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar identified assets, or (ii) the acquired entity does not have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, the Company accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, goodwill is not recognized, but rather, any excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets as of the acquisition date and any direct acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase consideration.

When an acquisition is accounted for as a business combination, the Company recognizes and measures the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, while transaction and integration costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase consideration in excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill. For material acquisitions, the Company engages independent appraisers to assist with the determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using discrete financial forecasts, long-term growth rates, appropriate discount rates, and expected future capital requirements. The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalized for any differences between the assets. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset. The fair value of property, plant and mine development is estimated to include the fair value of asset retirement costs of related long-lived tangible assets. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the period the adjustment arises.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are held in overnight bank deposits or are invested in United States Treasury securities and money market securities. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents and is included in other current or non-current assets. Restricted cash is held primarily for the purpose of settling asset retirement obligations.

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.

Stockpiles, Ore on Leach Pads and Inventories

As described below, costs that are incurred in or benefit the productive process are accumulated as stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories. Stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price of the product based on current and long-term metals prices, less the estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Write-downs of stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories to net realizable value are reported as a component of Costs applicable to sales and Depreciation and amortization. The current portion of stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories is determined based on the expected amounts to be processed within the next 12 months and utilize the short-term metal price assumption in estimating net realizable value. Stockpiles, ore on leach pads and inventories not expected to be processed within the next 12 months are classified as non-current and utilize the long-term metal price assumption in estimating net realizable value. The major classifications are as follows:

Stockpiles

Stockpiles represent ore that has been extracted from the mine and is available for further processing. Mine sequencing may result in mining material at a faster rate than can be processed. The Company generally processes the highest ore grade material first to maximize metal production; however, a blend of metal stockpiles may be processed to balance hardness and/or metallurgy in order to maximize throughput and recovery. Processing of lower grade stockpiled ore may continue after mining operations are completed. Sulfide copper ores are subject to oxidation over time which can reduce expected future recoveries. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained ounces or pounds (based on assay data) and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Stockpile ore tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are added to stockpiles based on current mining costs incurred including applicable overhead and depreciation and amortization relating to mining operations and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per recoverable unit as material is processed. Carrying values are evaluated at least quarterly, in accordance with the above.

Ore on Leach Pads

Ore on leach pads represent ore that has been mined and placed on leach pads where a solution is applied to the surface of the heap to dissolve the gold or silver or extract the copper. Costs are added to ore on leach pads based on current mining costs, including applicable depreciation and amortization relating to mining operations. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces or pounds are recovered based on the average cost per estimated recoverable ounce of gold or silver or pound of copper on the leach pad. Estimates of recoverable ore on the leach pads are calculated from the quantities of ore placed on the leach pads (measured tons added to the leach pads), the grade of ore placed on the leach pads (based on assay data) and a recovery percentage (based on ore type). In general, leach pads recover between 50% and 95% of the recoverable ounces in the first year of leaching, declining each year thereafter until the leaching process is complete.

Although the quantities of recoverable metal placed on the leach pads are reconciled by comparing the grades of ore placed on pads to the quantities of metal actually recovered (metallurgical balancing), the nature of the leaching process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, the metallurgical balancing process is constantly monitored and estimates are refined based on actual results over time. Historically, the Company’s operating results have not been materially impacted by variations between the estimated and actual recoverable quantities of metal on its leach pads. Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis.

In-process Inventory

In-process inventories represent material that is currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product. Conversion processes vary depending on the nature of the ore and the specific processing facility, but include mill in-circuit, flotation, leach and carbon-in-leach. In-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of the respective processing plants. In-process inventories are valued at the lower of the average cost of the material fed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines, stockpiles and/or leach pads, plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable amortization relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process or net realizable value.

Precious Metals Inventory

Precious metals inventories include gold doré and/or gold bullion. Precious metals that result from the Company’s mining and processing activities are valued at the lower of the average cost of the respective in-process inventories incurred prior to the refining process, plus applicable refining costs or net realizable value.

Concentrate Inventory

Concentrate inventories represent gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper concentrate available for shipment or in transit for further processing when the sales process has not been completed. The Company values concentrate inventory at average cost, including an allocable portion of support costs and amortization. Costs are added and removed to the concentrate inventory based on metal in the concentrate and are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Materials and Supplies

Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Cost includes applicable taxes and freight.

Property, Plant and Mine Development

Facilities and Equipment

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. Facilities and equipment acquired as a part of a finance lease, build-to-suit or other financing arrangement are capitalized and recorded based on the contractual lease terms. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such capitalized costs over the estimated productive lives of such facilities. These estimated productive lives do not exceed the related estimated mine lives, which are based on proven and probable reserves.

Mine Development

Mine development costs include engineering and metallurgical studies, drilling and other related costs to delineate an ore body, the removal of overburden to initially expose an ore body at open pit surface mines and the building of access ways, shafts, lateral access, drifts, ramps and other infrastructure at underground mines. Costs incurred before mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves are expensed and classified as Exploration or Advanced projects, research and development expense. Capitalization of mine development project costs that meet the definition of an asset begins once mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves.

Drilling and related costs are capitalized for an ore body where proven and probable reserves exist and the activities are directed at obtaining additional information on the ore body or converting measured, indicated and inferred resources to proven and probable reserves. All other drilling and related costs are expensed as incurred. Drilling costs incurred during the production phase for operational ore control are allocated to inventory costs and then included as a component of Costs applicable to sales.

The cost of removing overburden and waste materials to access the ore body at an open pit mine prior to the production phase are referred to as “pre-stripping costs.” Pre-stripping costs are capitalized during the development of an open pit mine. Where multiple open pits exist at a mining complex utilizing common processing facilities, pre-stripping costs are capitalized at each pit. The removal, production, and sale of de minimis saleable materials may occur during the development phase of an open pit mine and are assigned incremental mining costs related to the removal of that material.

The production phase of an open pit mine commences when saleable minerals, beyond a de minimis amount, are produced. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable production costs that are included as a component of inventory to be recognized in Costs applicable to sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of inventory.

Mine development costs are amortized using the units-of-production method based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves. To the extent that these costs benefit an entire ore body, they are amortized over the estimated life of the ore body. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are amortized over the estimated life of that specific ore block or area.

Underground development costs are capitalized as incurred. Costs incurred before mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves are expensed and classified as Exploration or Advanced projects, research and development expense. Capitalization of mine development project costs that meet the definition of an asset begins once mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves.

Mineral Interests

Mineral interests include acquired interests in production, development and exploration stage properties. Mineral interests are capitalized at their fair value at the acquisition date, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination. Mineral interests in the development and exploration stage are not amortized until the underlying property is converted to the production stage, at which point the mineral interests are amortized over the estimated recoverable proven and probable reserves.

The value of such assets is primarily driven by the nature and amount of mineral interests believed to be contained in such properties. Production stage mineral interests represent interests in operating properties that contain proven and probable reserves and are amortized using the units-of-production method based on the estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves. Development stage mineral interests represent interests in properties under development that contain proven and probable reserves. Exploration stage mineral interests represent interests in properties that are believed to potentially contain mineral resources consisting of (i) mineral resources within pits; mineral resources with insufficient drill spacing to qualify as proven and probable reserves; and mineral resources in close proximity to proven and probable reserves; (ii) around-mine exploration potential not immediately adjacent to existing reserves and mineralization, but located within the immediate mine area; (iii) other mine-related exploration potential that is not part of current resources and is comprised mainly of material outside of the immediate mine area;

(iv) greenfield exploration potential that is not associated with any other production, development or exploration stage property, as described above; or (v) any acquired right to explore or extract a potential mineral deposit. The Company’s mineral rights generally are enforceable regardless of whether proven and probable reserves have been established. In certain limited situations, the nature of a mineral right changes from an exploration right to a mining right upon the establishment of proven and probable reserves. The Company has the ability and intent to renew mineral interests where the existing term is not sufficient to recover all identified and valued proven and probable reserves and/or undeveloped mineral resources.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business acquisition. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment annually as of December 31 and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Each operating mine is considered a distinct reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

The Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment when it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is higher than its carrying value. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined using either the income approach utilizing estimates of discounted future cash flows or the market approach utilizing recent transaction activity for comparable properties. These approaches are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company recognizes its pro rata share of goodwill and any subsequent goodwill impairment losses recorded by entities that are proportionately consolidated.

The estimated cash flows used to assess the fair value of a reporting unit 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 average metal prices. In addition to short- and long-term metal price assumptions, other assumptions include estimates of commodity-based and other input costs; capital investments; proven and probable mineral reserves estimates, including the timing and cost to develop and produce the reserves; value beyond proven and probable mineral reserve estimates; estimated future closure costs; the use of appropriate discount rates; and applicable U.S. dollar long-term exchange rates.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the estimated fair value of the long-lived assets being tested for impairment, and their carrying amounts. Fair value is typically determined through the use of an income approach utilizing estimates of discounted pre-tax future cash flows or a market approach utilizing recent transaction activity for comparable properties. These approaches are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. Occasionally, such as when an asset is held for sale, market prices are used.

The estimated undiscounted cash flows used to assess recoverability of long-lived assets and to measure the fair value of the Company’s mining operations are derived from current business plans, which are developed using short-term price forecasts reflective of the current price environment and management’s projections for long-term average metal prices. In addition to short- and long-term metal price assumptions, other assumptions include estimates of commodity-based and other input costs; proven and probable mineral reserve estimates, including the timing and cost to develop and produce the reserves; value beyond proven and probable mineral reserve estimates; estimated future closure costs; and the use of appropriate discount rates.

In estimating undiscounted cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of undiscounted cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of undiscounted cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual cash flows may differ significantly from estimates, as actual produced reserves, metal prices, commodity-based and other costs, and closure costs are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Investments

Management classifies investments at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is a change in the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence. The ability to exercise significant influence is typically presumed when the Company possesses 20% or more of the voting interests in the investee. The Company accounts for its investments in stock of other entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control, using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company increases its investment for contributions made and records its proportionate share of net earnings, declared dividends and partnership distributions based on the most recently available financial statements of the investee. To the extent that there is a basis difference between the amount invested and the underlying equity in the net assets of an equity investment, the Company allocates such differences between tangible and intangible assets. This basis difference is being amortized into Equity income (loss) of affiliates over the remaining estimated useful lives of the underlying tangible and intangible net assets. Equity method investments are included in Investments.

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

Contributions made to equity method investees at times are in the form of loan agreements. Loans provided to equity method investees that are made based on the Company's proportionate ownership percentage are accounted for as “in-substance capital contributions” and are treated as an increase to the investment. Principal and interest payments received on loans treated as in-substance capital contributions are assessed under the cumulative earnings approach to determine if the distribution received represents a return on capital or a return of capital. Return on capital distributions are recorded as an operating cash flow whereas return of capital distributions are recorded as an investing cash flow. Loans provided to equity method investees that are not made on a proportionate basis are accounted for as a loan receivable and do not increase the investment. Principal payments received on loans not treated as an in-substance capital contribution are accounted for as a reduction to the loan receivable and interest received is recorded as interest income.

The Company evaluates its equity method investments for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investment. Declines in fair value that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to Other income (loss), net.

Additionally, the Company has certain marketable equity and debt securities and other equity securities. Marketable equity securities are measured primarily at fair value with any changes in fair value recorded in Other income (loss), net. Certain other equity securities are accounted for under the measurement alternative (cost less impairment, adjusted for any qualifying observable price changes) when fair value is not readily determinable. The Company accounts for its restricted marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, net of taxes, are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Total equity, unless an impairment is deemed to be credit-related. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding charge to Other income (loss), net.

Derivative Instruments

We hold derivatives for risk management purposes rather than for trading. We use derivatives to mitigate uncertainty and volatility caused by underlying exposures to foreign exchange rates and energy prices. The fair values of all derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date and are reported gross.

Financial instruments that meet the definition of a derivative, but are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815, are accounted for at fair value using derivative pricing models. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including long term metal prices, life of mine production profiles, discount rates, and inflation assumptions. These instruments are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date with the resulting gain or loss recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Cash Flow Hedges

The fair value of derivative contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges are reflected as assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The changes in fair value of these hedges are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to income when the hedged transaction has occurred in the same income statement line where the earnings effect of the hedged item is presented. Cash transactions related to the Company’s derivative contracts accounted for as hedges are classified in the same category as the item being hedged in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

When derivative contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges are settled, accelerated or restructured before the maturity date of the contracts, the related amount in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the settlement date is deferred and reclassified to earnings, when the originally designated hedged transaction impacts earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item, unless the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, at which time related amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings immediately.

Debt

The Company carries its Senior Notes at amortized cost.

Debt issuance costs and debt premiums and discounts, which are included in Debt, are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective Senior Notes as a component of Interest expense, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Gain or loss on extinguishment of debt is recorded as a component of Other income (loss), net upon the extinguishment of a debt instrument and is calculated as the difference between the reacquisition price and net carrying amount of the debt, which includes unamortized debt issuance costs. We evaluate all changes to our debt arrangements to determine whether the changes represent a modification or extinguishment to the old debt arrangement. If a debt instrument is deemed to be modified, we capitalize all new lender fees and expense all third-party fees. If we determine that an extinguishment of one of our debt instruments has occurred, the unamortized financing fees associated with the extinguished instrument are expensed. For the revolving loans, all lender and third-party fees are capitalized, and in the event an amendment reduces the committed capacity under the revolving loans, we expense a portion of any unamortized fees on a pro-rata basis in proportion to the decrease in the committed capacity.

Leases

The Company determines if a contractual arrangement represents or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Other non-current assets and Other current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Property, plant and mine development, net and current and non-current Lease and other financing obligations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Operating and finance lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. Leases acquired in a business combination are also measured based on the present value of the remaining leases payments, as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. When the rate implicit to the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from information available at the lease commencement date and represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made and lease incentives received prior to the commencement date. Operating lease ROU assets also include any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent when the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term. The ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The Company has lease arrangements that include both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for the majority of its asset classes. Additionally, for certain lease arrangements that involve leases of similar assets, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the underlying ROU assets and lease liabilities.

Common Stock

In July 2021, Newmont filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under which it can issue an indeterminate number or amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities and warrants from time to time at indeterminate prices, subject to the limitations of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's certification of incorporation and bylaws. It also includes the ability to resell an indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock and debt securities from time to time upon exercise of warrants or conversion of convertible securities.

Treasury Stock

The Company records repurchases of common shares as Treasury stock at cost and records any subsequent retirements of treasury shares at cost. When treasury shares are retired, the Company’s policy is to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both Retained earnings and Additional paid-in capital using settlement-date accounting. The portion allocated to Additional paid-in capital is calculated on a pro rata basis of the shares to be retired and the total shares issued and outstanding as of the date of the retirement.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company repurchased and retired approximately — million, — million and 9 million shares of its common stock for $—, $— and $525, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company withheld 0.6 million, 0.6 million and 0.6 million shares, respectively, for payments of employee withholding taxes related to the vesting of stock awards.

Revenue Recognition

Newmont generates revenue by selling gold, copper, silver, lead, and zinc produced from its mining operations. Refer to Note 4 for further information regarding the Company’s operating segments.

The majority of the Company’s Sales come from the sale of refined gold; however, the end product at the Company’s gold operations is generally doré bars. Doré is an alloy consisting primarily of gold but also containing silver and other metals. Doré is sent to refiners to produce bullion that meets the required market standard of 99.95% gold. Under the terms of the Company’s refining agreements, the doré bars are refined for a fee, and the Company’s share of the refined gold and the separately-recovered silver is credited to its bullion account. Gold from doré bars credited to its bullion account is typically sold to banks or refiners.

A portion of gold sold from certain sites is sold in the form of concentrate. The Company’s Sales also come from the sale of copper, silver, lead, and zinc. Sales from these metals are generally in the form of concentrate, which is sold to smelters for further treatment and refining.

Generally, if a metal expected to be mined represents more than 10% to 20% of the life of mine sales value of all the metal expected to be mined, co-product accounting is applied. When the Company applies co-product accounting at an operation, revenue is recognized for each co-product metal sold, and shared costs applicable to sales are allocated based on the relative sales values of the co-product metals produced. Generally, if metal expected to be mined is less than the 10% to 20% of the life of mine sales value, by-product accounting is applied. Revenues from by-product sales, which are immaterial, are credited to Costs applicable to sales as a by-product credit. Silver, lead and zinc are produced as co-products at Peñasquito. Copper is produced as a co-product at Red Chris,

145

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Boddington, Cadia, and Telfer. Aside from the co-product sales at Red Chris, Peñasquito, Boddington, Cadia, and Telfer, copper and silver produced at other Newmont sites are by-product metals.

Gold Sales from Doré Production

The Company recognizes revenue for gold from doré production when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring gold inventory to the customer, which generally occurs upon transfer of gold bullion credits as this is the point at which the customer obtains control the ability to direct the use and obtains substantially all of the remaining benefits of ownership of the asset.

The Company generally recognizes the sale of gold bullion credits when the credits are delivered to the customer. The transaction price is determined based on the agreed upon market price and the number of ounces delivered. Payment is due upon delivery of gold bullion credits to the customer’s account.

Sales from Concentrate Production

The Company recognizes revenue for gold, copper, silver, lead, and zinc from concentrate production, net of treatment and refining charges, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer. This generally occurs as material passes over the vessel's rail at the port of loading based on the date from the bill of lading, as the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the material and the customer has the risk of loss. Newmont has elected to account for shipping and handling costs for concentrate contracts as fulfillment activities and not as promised goods or services; therefore these activities are not considered separate performance obligations.

The Company generally sells metal concentrate based on the monthly average market price for a future month, dependent on the relevant contract, following the month in which the delivery to the customer takes place. The amount of revenue recognized for concentrates is initially recorded on a provisional basis based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement and the Company’s estimated metal quantities based on assay data. The Company’s sales based on a provisional price 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 concentrates at the forward price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which is not designated for hedge accounting, is primarily marked to market through Sales each period prior to final settlement. The Company also adjusts estimated metal quantities used in computing provisional sales using new information and assay data from the smelter as it is received (if any).

A provisional payment is generally due upon delivery of the concentrate to the customer. Final payment is due upon final settlement of price and quantity with the customer.

The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price fluctuations and updated quantities between the date the sale is recorded and the date of final settlement. If a significant decline in metal prices occurs, or assay data results in a significant change in quantity between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement date, it is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to return a portion of the provisional payment received on the sale. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.

Income and Mining Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, recognizing certain temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of the Company’s liabilities and assets and the related income tax basis for such liabilities and assets. This method generates either a net deferred income tax liability or asset for the Company, as measured by the statutory tax rates in effect. The Company derives its deferred income tax charge or benefit by recording the change in either the net deferred income tax liability or asset balance for the year. The financial statement effects of changes in tax law are recorded as discrete items in the period enacted as part of income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations, regardless of the category of income or loss to which the deferred taxes relate. The Company determines if the assessment of a particular income tax effect is “complete.” Those effects for which the accounting is determined to be complete are reported in the enactment period financial statements. The Company has exposure to the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on tax positions in certain jurisdictions, such movements are recorded within Income and mining tax benefit (expense) related to deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as well as non-current uncertain tax positions, while foreign exchange fluctuations impacting current tax positions are recorded within Other income (loss), net as foreign currency exchange gains (losses). With respect to the earnings that the Company derives from the operations of its consolidated subsidiaries, in those situations where the earnings are indefinitely reinvested, no deferred taxes have been provided on the unremitted earnings (including the excess of the carrying value of the net equity of such entities for financial reporting purposes over the tax basis of such equity) of these consolidated companies.

Mining taxes represent state and provincial taxes levied on mining operations and are classified as income taxes. As such, taxes are based on a percentage of mining profits.

Newmont’s operations are in multiple jurisdictions where uncertainties arise in the application of complex tax regulations. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, while others are defined by general tax laws and regulations. Newmont and its subsidiaries are subject to reviews of its income tax filings and other tax payments, and disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation of its contracts or laws. The Company recognizes potential

146

Table of Contents

NEWMONT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

liabilities and records tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on its estimate of whether it is more likely than not, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the tax liabilities. If the Company’s estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would result. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be greater than the ultimate assessment, a tax benefit would result. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income and mining tax benefit (expense). In certain jurisdictions, Newmont must pay a portion of the disputed amount to the local government in order to formally appeal the assessment. Such payment is recorded as a receivable if Newmont believes the amount is collectible.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company’s deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence.

Certain categories of evidence carry more weight in the analysis than others based upon the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. The Company looks to the nature and severity of cumulative pretax losses (if any) in the current three-year period ending on the evaluation date, recent pretax losses and/or expectations of future pretax losses. Other factors considered in the determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to:

•Earnings history;

•Projected future financial and taxable income based upon existing reserves and long-term estimates of commodity prices;

•The duration of statutory carry forward periods;

•Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies readily available that may alter the timing of reversal of the temporary difference;

•Nature of temporary differences and predictability of reversal patterns of existing temporary differences; and

•The sensitivity of future forecasted results to commodity prices and other factors.

Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss as a measure of its cumulative results in recent years. However, a cumulative three year loss is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company also considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis.

Reclamation and Remediation Costs

Reclamation obligations associated with operating and non-operating mine sites are recognized when an obligation is incurred and the fair value can be reasonably estimated. Fair value is measured as the present value of expected cash flow estimates, after considering inflation, our credit-adjusted risk-free rates and a market risk premium appropriate for our operations. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and amortized over the life of the related asset. Reclamation costs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. Changes in reclamation estimates at mines that are not currently operating, as the mine or portion of the mine site has entered the closure phase and has no substantive future economic value, are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. The estimated reclamation obligation is based on when spending for an existing disturbance is expected to occur. Costs included in estimated asset retirement obligations are discounted to their present value as cash flows are readily estimable over a period of up to fifty years. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the reclamation obligation at each mine site in accordance with ASC guidance for asset retirement obligations.

Remediation costs are accrued when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Such cost estimates may include ongoing care, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in remediation estimates at non-operating mines are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. Water treatment costs included in environmental remediation obligations are discounted to their present value as cash flows are readily estimable over a period up to fifty years.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains and losses related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar are remeasured at current exchange rates and the resulting adjustments are included in Other income (loss), net. The financial statements of our foreign entities

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

with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars with the resulting adjustments charged or credited directly to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total equity. All assets and liabilities are translated into the U.S. dollar using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. The gains or losses on foreign currency rates on cash holdings in foreign currencies are included in Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation awards exchanged for employee services at fair value on the date of the grant and expenses the awards in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the requisite employee service period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of RSUs are based on the Newmont stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of PSUs with market-related conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of PSUs with performance-related conditions is determined based on the Newmont stock price on the date of grant and the probability of the performance conditions being met. Stock-based compensation expense related to all awards, including awards with a market or performance condition that cliff vest, is generally recognized ratably over the requisite service period of the award on a straight-line basis. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The Company's estimates may be impacted by certain variables including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, employee retirement eligibility dates, the Company's performance and related tax impacts.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic and diluted income per share are presented for Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee stock awards. Dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if their effect would be anti-dilutive based on the treasury stock method or due to a net loss from continuing operations.

Discontinued Operations

The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results when the business is classified as held for sale, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment and ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations. Under ASC 360, assets may be classified as held for sale even though discontinued operations classification is not met. Equity method investments, which are specifically scoped out of ASC 360, can only be classified as held for sale if discontinued operations classification is also achieved. The results of discontinued operations are reported in Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for current and prior periods, including any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

In addition to Net income (loss), Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period, such as adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in fair value of derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and cumulative unrecognized changes in fair value of marketable debt securities classified as available-for-sale, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners.

Care and Maintenance

The Company incurs certain direct operating costs and depreciation and amortization costs when operations are temporarily halted and placed in care and maintenance. Direct operating costs incurred while operations are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Other expense, net as these costs do not benefit the productive process and are not related to sales. Depreciation and amortization costs incurred while operations are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Depreciation and amortization.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules

Inflation Reduction Act

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") into law. The IRA introduced an excise tax on stock repurchases of 1% of the fair market value of stock repurchases net of stock issued during the tax year and a corporate alternative minimum tax (the "Corporate AMT") of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income ("AFSI") of corporations

The excise tax on stock repurchases is effective on net stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022 and the Corporate AMT is effective for tax periods beginning in fiscal year 2023. While waiting on pending Department of Treasury regulatory guidance, the Company is continuing to monitor developments. Based upon information known to date, no material impacts are expected to the Consolidated Financial Statements, disclosures, or cash flows.

Effects of Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, ASU No. 2020-04 was issued which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. In January 2021, ASU No. 2021-01 was issued which broadened the scope of ASU No. 2020-04 to include certain derivative instruments. In December 2022, ASU No. 2022-06 was issued which deferred the sunset date of ASU No. 2020-04. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company has completed its review of key contracts and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company will continue to review new contracts to identify references to the LIBOR and implement adequate fallback provisions if not already implemented to mitigate the risks or impacts from the transition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules

Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, ASU 2023-09 was issued which requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a qualitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segments Reporting

In November 2023, ASU 2023-07 was issued which improves disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors and other allocators of capital for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The ASU applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280 and is effective starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

NOTE 3 BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On November 6, 2023 (the “acquisition date”), Newmont completed its business combination transaction with Newcrest, a public Australian mining company limited by shares, whereby Newmont, through Newmont Sub, acquired all of the ordinary shares of Newcrest, pursuant to a court-approved scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) between Newcrest and its shareholders, as contemplated by a scheme implementation deed, dated as of May 15, 2023, by and among Newmont, Newmont Sub and Newcrest, as amended from time to time. Upon implementation, Newmont completed the business acquisition of Newcrest, in which Newmont was the acquirer and Newcrest became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Sub and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont (such acquisition, the “Newcrest transaction”). The acquisition of Newcrest increased the Company’s gold and other metal reserves and expanded its operating jurisdictions.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:


(in millions, except share and per share data)	Shares	Per Share		Purchase Consideration
Stock Consideration
Shares of Newmont exchanged for Newcrest outstanding ordinary shares	357,691,627	$	37.88	$	13,549

Total Purchase Price				$	13,549

The Company retained an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price of Newcrest has been allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated acquisition date fair values. The fair value estimates were based on income, market and cost valuation methods. The excess of the total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts initially assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill balance is mainly attributable to: (i) the acquisition of existing operating mines with access to an assembled workforce that cannot be duplicated at the same costs by new entrants; (ii) operating synergies anticipated from the integration of the operations of

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

Newmont and Newcrest; and (iii) the application of Newmont’s Full Potential program and potential strategic and financial benefits that include the increase in reserve base and opportunities to identify additional mineralization through exploration activities.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not yet fully completed the analysis to assign fair values to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and therefore the purchase price allocation for Newcrest is preliminary. At December 31, 2023, remaining items to finalize include the fair value of inventories, property plant and mine development (primarily consisting of mineral interests), goodwill, reclamation and remediation liabilities, employee-related benefits, unrecognized tax benefits, and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The preliminary purchase price allocation will be subject to further refinement as the Company continues to refine its estimates and assumptions based on information available at the acquisition date. These refinements may result in material changes to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made throughout the end of Newmont’s measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Newcrest transaction as of December 31, 2023:


ASSETS	December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	668
Trade receivables	212
Inventories	722
Stockpiles and ore on leach pads	139
Derivative assets	42
Other current assets	198
Current assets	1,981
Property, plant and mine development, net (1)	13,183
Investments (2)	990
Stockpiles and ore on leach pads	134
Deferred income tax assets	189
Goodwill (3)	2,744
Derivative assets	362
Other non-current assets	93

Deferred income tax liabilities (6)	1,331
Employee-related benefits	222
Other non-current liabilities	11
Total liabilities	6,127

Net assets acquired	$	13,549

____________________________

(1)The preliminary fair value of property, plant and mine development is based on applying the income and cost valuation methods.

(2)The preliminary fair value of the equity method investments was determined by applying the market approach, based on quoted prices for the acquired investments.

(3)Preliminary goodwill is attributable to reportable segments as follows: $397 to Red Chris; $1,087 to Brucejack; $565 to Cadia; and $695 to Lihir.

(4)The preliminary fair value of the Newcrest senior notes is measured using a market approach, based on quoted prices for the acquired debt; $1,373 of borrowings under the senior notes approximate fair value. The carrying value of the bilateral bank debt facilities of $1,923 approximates fair value.

(5)The preliminary fair value of reclamation and remediation liabilities is based on the expected amounts and timing of cash flows for closure activities and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the acquisition date. Key assumptions include the costs and timing of key closure activities based on the life of mine plans, including estimates and timing of monitoring and water management costs (if applicable) after the completion of initial closure activities.

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

(6)Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax benefit or future tax expense associated with the differences between the preliminary fair value allocated to assets (excluding goodwill) and liabilities and a tax basis increase to fair value as a result of the acquisition in Australia and the historical carryover tax basis of these assets and liabilities in all other jurisdictions. No deferred tax liability is recognized for the basis difference inherent in the preliminary fair value allocated to goodwill.

Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Newcrest revenue of $944 and Newcrest net income (loss) of $136 from the acquisition date to the year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by Newmont’s CODM. In January 2023, Newmont reassessed and revised its operating strategies and the accountabilities of the senior leadership team in light of the continuing volatile and uncertain market conditions, and in November 2023, the Company completed the Newcrest transaction (refer to Note 3 for further information). Following these changes, the Company reevaluated its segments to reflect the mining operations acquired and certain changes in the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM. As a result, the Company determined that its reportable segments were each of its 17 mining operations that it manages and its 38.5% proportionate interest in Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") which it does not directly manage. Segment results for the prior periods have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.

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

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

Trade Receivables and Provisional Sales

At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Trade receivables consisted of sales from provisionally priced concentrate and other production. The impact to Sales from revenue recognized due to the changes in pricing is an increase (decrease) of $37, $(34) and $32 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

At December 31, 2023, Newmont had the following provisionally priced concentrate sales subject to final pricing over the next several months:


	Provisionally Priced Sales Subject to Final Pricing (1)	Average Provisional Price (per ounce/pound)
Gold (ounces, in thousands)	257	$	2,071
Copper (pounds, in millions)	104	$	3.88
Silver (ounces, in millions)	3	$	23.89
Lead (pounds, in millions)	25	$	0.93
Zinc (pounds, in millions)	31	$	1.20
Molybdenum (pounds, in millions) (2)	1	$	19.62

____________________________

(1)Includes provisionally priced by-product sales subject to final pricing, which are recognized in Costs applicable to sales.

(2)Molybdenum is a by-product at the Cadia site and is recognized in Costs applicable to sales.

Silver Streaming Agreement

The Company is obligated to sell 25% of silver production from the Peñasquito mine to Wheaton Precious Metals Corporation at the lesser of market price or a fixed contract price, subject to an annual inflation adjustment of up to 1.65%. This agreement contains off-market terms and was initially recognized at its acquisition date fair value as a finite-lived intangible liability. The current and non-current portion are recorded to Other current liabilities and Silver streaming agreement on the Consolidated Balance Sheet,

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

respectively. The Company’s policy is to amortize the liability into Sales each period using the units-of-production method. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company amortized $42, $73, and $79, respectively, of the liability into revenue. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the value of the liability included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $866 and $908, respectively.

Revenue by Geographic Area

Newmont primarily conducts metal sales in U.S. dollars, and therefore Sales are not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. Revenues from sales attributed to countries based on the location of the customer were as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
United Kingdom (1)(2)	$	7,637	$	7,537	$	7,624

	$	11,812	$	11,915	$	12,222

____________________________

(1)Includes $42, $73, and $79 related to non-cash amortization of the silver streaming agreement liability for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

(2)The Company identified that revenue by geographic area for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was incorrectly allocated for United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Other, but the total revenue by geographic area was appropriately stated for these periods. These amounts have been corrected in the current period.

Revenue by Major Customer

As gold can be sold through numerous gold market traders worldwide, the Company is not economically dependent on a limited number of customers for the sale of its product. The Company sells silver, lead, zinc and copper predominantly in the form of concentrates. The concentrates are sold under a combination of short-term and long-term supply contracts with processing fees based on the demand for these concentrates in the global marketplace.

In 2023, sales to JPMorgan Chase were $2,583 (22%), Royal Bank of Canada were $1,765 (15%), Standard Chartered were $1,659 (14%), and Toronto Dominion Bank were $1,630 (14%) of total gold sales. In 2022, sales to Standard Chartered were $4,179 (35%) and JPMorgan Chase were $1,503 (13%) of total gold sales. In 2021 sales to Standard Chartered were $4,634 (38%) and JPMorgan Chase were $2,002 (17%) of total gold sales.

NOTE 6 RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various domestic and international laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations to protect public health and the environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation and remediation costs are based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements.

The Company’s Reclamation and remediation expense consisted of:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2023		2022		2021
Reclamation adjustments and other	$	1,207	$	646	$	1,633
Reclamation accretion	238		173		125

Remediation accretion	7		6		6
Remediation expense	88		102		88
Reclamation and remediation	$	1,533	$	921	$	1,846

In 2023, reclamation adjustments were primarily due to increased water management costs at portions of the Yanacocha site that are no longer in production and with no expected substantive economic value (i.e., non-operating), that resulted in an increase of $1,101. In 2022, reclamation adjustments were primarily due to higher estimated closure costs resulting from cost inflation and increased water management costs at portions of the Yanacocha and Porcupine site operations that are non-operating that resulted in increases of $529 and $91, respectively. In 2021, reclamation adjustments were primarily comprised of $1,554 related to non-operating portions of the Yanacocha site.

In 2023 remediation adjustments were primarily due to higher water management costs and project execution delays at the Midnite mine and Dawn mill sites. In 2022, remediation adjustments are primarily due to higher waste disposal costs and project execution delays at the Midnite mine and Dawn mill sites. In 2021, remediation adjustments are primarily due to revisions to estimated construction costs of the water treatment plant at the Midnite mine and higher estimated closure cost arising from recent tailings management review and monitoring requirements set forth by GISTM.

The following are reconciliations of Reclamation and remediation liabilities:

(3)Total reclamation liabilities includes $4,804 and $3,722 related to Yanacocha at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company is also involved in several matters concerning environmental remediation obligations associated with former, primarily historic, mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 35% greater or 6% lower than the amount accrued at December 31, 2023. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities in the period estimates are revised.

____________________________

(1)Primarily relates to non-cash write-downs of materials and supplies inventory and various assets that are no longer in use, except for certain impairment charges recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022 as described below.

(2)Site acquired through the Newcrest transaction. Refer to Note 3 for further information.

The estimated cash flows utilized in both the long-lived asset and goodwill impairment evaluations are derived from the Company's current business plans. The Company completed its annual business plan update which reflected updated mine plans, certain adverse changes in market conditions, including inflationary pressures to costs and capital, strategic evaluation regarding the use of capital, and updates to asset retirement costs.

Impairment of goodwill

The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment annually at December 31 or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Each operating mine is considered a distinct reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. Based on the December 31, 2023 review, the Company concluded that Goodwill was impaired at the Musselwhite, Éléonore and Peñasquito reporting units. The goodwill impairments at Musselwhite and Éléonore were driven by a deterioration in underlying cash flows from higher costs due to inflationary pressures, and resulted in non-cash impairment charges of $293 and $246, respectively, which represented the full goodwill balance of the reporting units prior to impairment. The goodwill impairment at Peñasquito was also driven by lower expected cash flows, primarily due to an update to the geological model that impacted expected metal grade and recoveries, as well as higher costs due to inflationary pressures, and resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $1,210, which represented the full goodwill balance of the reporting unit prior to impairment. The long-lived assets of Musselwhite, Éléonore and Peñasquito were evaluated for impairment prior to the quantitative goodwill assessment and no impairment was identified.

In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11 at NGM as a result of the decision to not pursue permitting for Phase 2 mining at Long Canyon. As a result, NGM placed Long Canyon on long-term care and maintenance and revised their business plan. The impairment represented the full goodwill balance at Long Canyon based on the Company's proportionate interest in NGM.

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

The Company measured the impairments by comparing the total fair value of the operations to the corresponding reporting unit carrying value. The estimated fair value was determined using the income approach and is considered a non-recurring level 3 fair value measurement. Significant inputs to the fair value measured included (i) updated cash flow information from the Company's current business and closure plans, (ii) a short-term gold price of $1,950, (iii) a long-term gold price of $1,700, (iv) current estimates of reserves, resources, and exploration potential, and (v) a reporting unit specific discount rate of 10.00% at Musselwhite, 17.50% at Éléonore, and 6.75% at Peñasquito. The selected discount rates for Musselwhite and Éléonore incorporate additional premium related to operational risk at these sites.

Based on the December 31, 2022 review, the Company concluded that Goodwill was impaired at the Porcupine and the Cerro Negro reporting units. The Porcupine goodwill impairment was driven by a deterioration in underlying cash flows from higher costs due to inflationary pressures and higher capital costs related to safety enhancements and the expansion of the active tailings storage facility, ensuring GISTM compliance, as well as an increase to the asset retirement cost, and resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $341, which represented the full goodwill balance of the reporting unit prior to impairment. The Cerro Negro goodwill impairment was driven by a 14% country specific discount rate that reflects current macroeconomic risk and uncertainty in Argentina, and resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $459, which represented the full goodwill balance of the reporting unit prior to impairment. The long-lived assets of Porcupine and Cerro Negro were evaluated for impairment prior to the quantitative goodwill test and no impairment was identified.

The Company measured the impairments by comparing the total fair value of the existing operations to the corresponding reporting unit carrying value. The estimated fair value was determined using the income approach and is considered a non-recurring level 3 fair value measurement. Significant inputs to the fair value measured included (i) updated cash flow information from the Company's current business and closure plans, (ii) a short-term gold price of $1,750, (iii) a long-term gold price of $1,600, (iv) current estimates of reserves, resources, and exploration potential, and (v) a country specific discount rate of 4.50% in Canada and 14% in Argentina.

Impairment of long-lived and other assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. During the fourth quarter of 2023, an impairment indicator was determined to exist at NGM. This determination was as a result of the decision to not pursue permitting for Phase 2 mining at Long Canyon. As a result, NGM placed Long Canyon on long-term care and maintenance and revised their business plan. The Company recognized its proportionate share of the non-cash impairment charge of $72 which resulted in a remaining balance of $22 within Property, plant and mine development, net at December 31, 2023. The estimated fair value is based on observable market values for comparable assets expressed as dollar per ounce of mineral resources and is considered a non-recurring level 3 fair value measurement.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company determined that an impairment indicator existed at CC&V. This determination was based on the updated business plan, which reflected a deterioration in underlying cash flows from lower production, impacted by the decision to place the mill on long-term care and maintenance, higher costs due to inflationary pressures, as well as an increase to the asset retirement cost. As a result of the impairment indicator, a recoverability test was performed and the Company concluded the long-lived assets at CC&V were impaired resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $511 and a remaining balance of $25 within Property, plant and mine development, net at December 31, 2022. The Company measured the impairment by comparing the total fair value of the existing operations to the carrying value of the corresponding assets. The estimated fair value was determined using the income approach and is considered a non-recurring level 3 fair value measurement. Significant inputs to the fair value measurement included (i) updated cash flow information from the Company's current business and closure plans, (ii) a short-term gold price of $1,750, (iii) a long-term gold price of $1,600, (iv) current estimates of reserves, resources, and exploration potential, and (v) a country specific pre-tax discount rate of 6.75%.

Factors that Significantly Impact Effective Tax Rate (Other than Factors Described Separately Below)

Percentage depletion allowances (tax deductions for depletion that may exceed the tax basis in the mineral reserves) are available to the Company under the income tax laws of the United States for operations conducted in the United States or through branches and partnerships owned by U.S. subsidiaries included in the consolidated United States income tax return. These deductions are highly sensitive to the price of gold and other metals produced by the Company.

The Company operates in various jurisdictions around the world that have statutory tax rates that are significantly different than those of the U.S. These differences combine to move the overall effective tax rate higher than the U.S. statutory rate.

These amounts reflect the classification and presentation that is reported for each tax jurisdiction in which the Company operates.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the recent pretax losses and/or expectations of future pretax losses. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company's projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, a new valuation allowance has been recorded in Argentina. However, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present or if additional weight were given to subjective evidence such as the Company's projections for growth.

During 2023, the Company recorded an increase to the valuation allowance of $358 to tax expense, primarily driven by increases in the Yanacocha reclamation obligation in Peru, the net deferred tax asset in Argentina, the valuation allowance on Canada's tax credits, and the transaction costs capitalized to capital assets in Australia for which there is a full valuation allowance. This was partially offset by a release for expiration of foreign tax credit carryforwards in the U.S. There was additional valuation allowance established as a result of purchase accounting for the Newcrest transaction of $300.

Refer to Note 2 for additional risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets.

Tax Loss Carryforwards, Foreign Tax Credits, and Canadian Tax Credits

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had (i) $3,678 and $1,963 of net operating loss carry forwards, respectively; and (ii) $513 and $615 of tax credit carry forwards, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, $989 and $649, respectively, of net operating loss carry forwards are attributable to the U.S., Australia and France for which current tax law provides no expiration period. The net operating loss carry forward in Canada of $1,458 will expire by 2043. The net operating loss carryforward in Mexico of $921

will expire by 2033, and the net operating loss carryforward in Argentina of $74 will expire by 2028. The net operating loss carry forward in other countries is $236.

Tax credit carry forwards for 2023 and 2022 of $284 and $463, respectively, consist of foreign tax credits available in the United States; substantially all such credits not utilized will expire at the end of 2029, and of solar tax credit for 2023 and 2022 of $19 and $-, respectively, which will expire by 2045. Canadian tax credits for 2023 and 2022 of $210 and $152, respectively, consist of investment tax credits and minimum mining tax credits. Canadian investment tax credits for 2023 consisted of $124 which will substantially expire by 2043, mining tax credits of $9 which will expire by 2042, and the other Canadian tax credits of $76 that do not expire.

Company’s Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties, is as follows:


	2023		2022		2021
Total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year	$	190	$	245	$	237
Additions (reductions) for tax positions of prior years	13		(1)		36

Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations	(43)		(1)		(2)
Total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year	$	144	$	190	$	245

At December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, $190, $219 and $335, respectively, represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate.

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

Through the due diligence and integration processes, the Company has not identified new uncertain tax positions as a result of the Newcrest transaction. Work on this will continue through the measurement period.

The Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) is conducting a limited review of the Company’s prior year tax returns. The ATO is reviewing an internal reorganization executed 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 ATO 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. In December, an unsuccessful mediation session was held and an agreement was not reached at that time. The Company will file export reports with the Court by April 2024 in advance of proceedings. A provisional Court date is set for the third quarter of 2024.

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.

The Company and/or subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. As a result of (i) statute of limitations that will begin to expire within the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and (ii) possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its unrecognized income tax liability will decrease between $25 and $50 in the next 12 months.

Pension and Other Benefit Plans

The Company provides a defined benefit pension plan to eligible employees. Benefits are generally based on years of service and the employee’s annual compensation. Various international pension plans are based on local laws and requirements. Pension costs are determined annually by independent actuaries and pension contributions to the U.S. qualified plans are made based on funding standards established under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Company’s qualified pension plan is funded with cash contributions in compliance with Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations. The Company’s non-qualified and other benefit plans are currently not funded, but exist as general corporate obligations. The information contained in the above tables presents the combined funded status of qualified and non-qualified plans. The Company reviews its retirement benefit programs on a regular basis and will consider market conditions and the funded status of its qualified pension plans in determining whether additional contributions are appropriate in calendar year 2024.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, all pension benefit plans had accumulated benefit obligations and projected benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of assets with the exception of one defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. and one defined benefit pension plan in Canada. The fair value of the plan assets associated with these pension benefit plans was in excess of the related accumulated benefit obligations and projected benefit obligations. The following table provides information for the Company's defined benefit pensions plans that had aggregate accumulated benefit obligations and projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets at December 31:


	Pension Benefits (1)
	2023		2022
Accumulated benefit obligation	$	35	$	37
Projected benefit obligation	$	42	$	42
Fair value of plan assets	$	1	$	1

____________________________

(1)Information for other benefit plans with an accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets has not been included as all of the other benefit plans are unfunded.

The significant assumptions used in measuring the Company’s benefit obligation were mortality assumptions and discount rate.

The mortality assumptions used to measure the pension and other post retirement obligation incorporate future mortality improvements from tables published by the Society of Actuaries ("SOA"). In 2022 and 2023, the SOA announced they would not release a new generational projection scale for the related years and instead updated the Mortality Improvement Model ("MIM") tool with the ability to optionally input mortality loads to model differing viewpoints of the ongoing effect of COVID. The Company utilized

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

the Pri-2012 mortality tables and the MP-2021 generational projection scales, with no adjustment for COVID due to the Company not experiencing material mortality gain due to COVID, to measure the pension and other post retirement obligations as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Yield curves matching the Company’s benefit obligations were derived using a model based on high quality corporate bond data from Bloomberg. The model develops a discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high quality corporate bonds whose projected cash flows match the projected benefit payments of the plan. The resulting curves were used to identify a weighted average discount rate for the Company of 5.33% and 5.63% at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, based on the timing of future benefit payments.

Actuarial gains of $21 and $197 were recognized in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily due to an increase in discount rate from the prior year.

Settlement accounting is required when annual lump sum payments exceed the annual interest and service costs for a plan and results in a remeasurement of the related pension benefit obligation and plan assets and the recognition of settlement charges in Other income (loss), net due to the acceleration of a portion of unrecognized actuarial losses. Lump sum payments are primarily made from the plan assets. Settlement accounting was triggered for the periods ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 resulting in pension settlement charges of $9, $137 and $4, respectively.

For the period ended December 31, 2022, pension settlement charges primarily resulted from the Company executing an annuitization to transfer a portion of the pension plan obligations from the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans to an insurance company using plan assets during the first quarter of 2022. As a result, $527 of the previously recognized pension obligations were transferred and settlement accounting was triggered which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash settlement loss of $130 in Other income (loss), net. In December 2022, the Company received the final true-up from the insurance company for the annuitization, which had an inconsequential impact on the settlement.

____________________________

(1)Total benefit cost (income) and other comprehensive income (loss) for the Company's U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan was remeasured due to the settlement accounting required from the retiree annuity purchase on March 25, 2022. The discount rate used for determining the Total benefit cost (income) and other comprehensive income (loss) reflected 3.03% from January 1, 2022 through March 25, 2022 and 4.09% from March 26, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

The expected long-term return on plan assets used for each period in the three years ended December 31, 2023 was determined based on an analysis of the asset returns over multiple time horizons for the Company’s actual plan and for other comparable U.S. corporations. At December 31, 2023, Newmont has estimated the expected long-term return on the qualified pension plan's assets to be 7.25% which will be used in determining future net periodic benefit cost. The Company determines the long-term return on plan assets by considering the most recent capital market forecasts, the plans’ current asset allocation and the actual return on plan assets in comparison to the expected return on assets. The average actual return on the qualified pension plan's assets during the 35 years ended December 31, 2023 approximated 7.65%.

Newmont has two pension calculations for salaried U.S. employees. The first is a “Final Average Pay” pension calculation which is defined as a monthly annuity at age 62 based, in part, on their highest five year eligible earnings and years of credited service. The second is the “Stable Value” calculation which is defined as a lump sum payment to employees upon retirement. The amount of the lump sum is the total of annual accruals based on the employee’s eligible earnings and years of service. The benefits accrued under the Final Average Pay formula were frozen on June 30, 2014 for those eligible employees. Beginning July 1, 2014, all future accruals are based on the terms and features of the Stable Value calculation.

The assumed health care trend rate used to measure the expected cost of benefits is 6.25% in 2024 and decreases gradually each year to 5.00% in 2029, which is used thereafter.

The qualified pension plan employs an independent investment firm which invests the assets of the plans in certain approved funds that correspond to specific asset classes with associated target allocations. The goal of the pension fund investment program is to achieve prudent actuarial funding ratios while maintaining acceptable risk levels. The investment performance of the plans and that of the individual investment firms is measured against recognized market indices. The performance of the pension funds are monitored by an investment committee comprised of members of the Company’s management, which is advised by an independent investment consultant. With the exception of global capital market economic risks, the Company has identified no significant portfolio risks

associated to asset classes. The following is a summary of the target asset allocations for 2023 and the actual asset allocation at December 31, 2023:


Asset Allocation	Target		Actual at December 31, 2023
Fixed income investments	45	%	45	%
World equity fund (U.S. and International equity investments)	20	%	19	%
International equity investments	12	%	12	%
U.S. equity investments	11	%	11	%
Real estate	8	%	9	%
High yield fixed income investments	4	%	4	%
Cash equivalents	—	%	—	%

Cash equivalent instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are primarily invested in money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

Commingled fund investments are managed by several fund managers and are valued at the net asset value per share for each fund. Although the majority of the underlying assets in the funds consist of actively traded equity securities and bonds, the unit of account is considered to be at the fund level. These funds require less than a month’s notice for redemptions and can be redeemed at the net asset value per share.

The following table sets forth the Company’s pension plan assets measured at fair value:


	Fair Value at December 31,
	2023		2022
Commingled Funds:
Fixed income investments	$	152	$	143

Savings Plans

The Company has one qualified defined contribution savings plan in the U.S. that covers salaried and hourly employees. When an employee meets eligibility requirements, the Company matches 100% of employee contributions of up to 6% of eligible earnings. Hourly employees receive an additional retirement contribution to the participant’s retirement contribution account equal to an amount which is paid and determined by the Company. Currently, the additional retirement contribution is 5% of eligible earnings. Matching contributions are made in cash. In addition, the Company has one non-qualified supplemental savings plan for executive-level employees whose benefits under the qualified plan are limited by federal regulations.

NOTE 12 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock incentive plans for directors, executives and eligible employees. Stock incentive awards include RSUs and PSUs. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy option exercises and vesting under all of its stock incentive awards. Prior to 2012, the Company also granted options to purchase shares of stock with exercise prices not less than fair market

value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. At December 31, 2023, 21,472,946 shares were authorized for future stock incentive plan awards.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants RSUs to directors, executives and eligible employees. Awards are determined as a target percentage of base salary and, for eligible employees, are subject to a personal performance factor. For all RSU grants issued prior to February 2018, RSU awards vest on a straight-line basis over periods of three years or more, unless the employee becomes retirement eligible prior to the vesting date. If an employee becomes retirement eligible and retires prior to the vesting date, the remaining awards vest on a pro rata basis at the retirement date. Starting with the February 2018 grant, if the employee becomes retirement eligible at any point during the vesting period, the entire award is considered earned after the later of the one-year service period from the grant date or the retirement eligible date. Prior to vesting, holders of RSUs do not have the right to vote the underlying shares; however, directors, executives and eligible employees accrue dividend equivalents on their RSUs, which are paid at the time the RSUs vest. The accrued dividend equivalents are not paid if RSUs are forfeited. The RSUs are subject to forfeiture risk and other restrictions. Upon vesting, the employee is entitled to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each restricted stock unit.

Performance Stock Units

In 2023, the Company amended the PSU plan for eligible executives to incorporate awards that vest based on certain performance-related conditions in addition to the historically granted awards that vest based on certain market-related conditions.

For market-related conditions, the awards vest after the three-year requisite service period based on the Company's total shareholder return compared to the return of a peer group. The grant date fair value of the awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over the required performance period.

The grant date fair value of the market-related conditions for each PSU granted in 2023, 2022 or 2021 was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which requires the input of the following subjective assumptions:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2023	2022	2021
Risk-free interest rate	4.45%	1.61%	0.22%
Volatility range	34.24% - 81.36%	31.78% - 81.77%	31.41% - 76.72%
Weighted-average volatility	55.24%	54.89%	53.05%
Expected term (years)	3	3	3
Weighted-average fair market value	$50.39	$77.00	$65.41

The risk-free interest rates are based on a U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's stock as well as the stock of the peer group for the three-year performance period.

For performance-related conditions, the awards vest based on the achievement of certain performance metrics which include (i) representation of women on executive team and (ii) Scope 1 and 2 emission reductions related to key milestone projects. The grant date fair value of the awards are amortized over the three-year requisite service period, based on the probability of the performance conditions being met.

The grant date fair value of the performance-related conditions for each PSU granted in 2023 was determined using the Company's stock price on the grant. The weighted-average fair market value for 2023 was $43.34.

Goldcorp Employee Stock Options

In connection with Newmont's acquisition of Goldcorp in 2019, the Company exchanged 3.6 million outstanding Goldcorp options for 1.2 million Newmont options with the right to exercise each Newmont option for one share of Newmont common stock. At December 31, 2022, there were 47,047 options outstanding and exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $46.33. During 2023, 5,319 options were exercised with a weighted average exercise price of $46.27. During 2023, 41,728 options expired with a weighted average exercise price of $46.34. At December 31, 2023, there were no options outstanding and exercisable.

NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following tables set forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring (at least annually) and nonrecurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

____________________________

(1)Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 and 2022 include term deposits that have an original maturity of three months or less.

(2)Debt is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $8,874 and $5,571 at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value measurement of debt was based on an independent third-party pricing source.

(3)Derivative assets and liabilities include amounts for contingent consideration assets and liabilities, which were separately disclosed in prior filings.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (which includes restricted cash and cash equivalents) are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company's time deposits and other primarily consists of time deposits with an original maturity of more than three months but less than one year and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are carried at amortized cost.

The Company’s net trade receivables from provisional metal concentrate sales, which contain an embedded derivative and are subject to final pricing, are valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves for the particular metal. As the contracts themselves are not traded on an exchange, these receivables are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company's long-lived assets consist of long-lived assets at certain sites that were subject to fair value measurement as a result of impairment tests performed for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company performed a non-recurring fair value measurement, classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, in connection with recoverability and impairment tests performed over long-lived assets and goodwill for all applicable reporting units. Impairment charges related to goodwill were for the full goodwill balance at Peñasquito, Musselwhite and Éléonore, resulting in no remaining balance at December 31, 2023. For further information regarding management’s assessment of these certain long-lived assets and goodwill reporting units, including the assumptions utilized in determining the fair value, refer to Note 7.

The Company’s marketable and other equity securities with readily determinable fair values are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity

173

Table of Contents

NEWMONT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

securities are calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

The Company’s marketable and other equity securities without readily determinable fair values consists of the Company’s ownership in warrants in publicly traded companies. Warrants are valued using a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying securities. As the warrants themselves are not traded on the exchange, these equity securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these warrants are included in the "Time deposits and other" and the "Marketable and other equity securities" line items in the tables presented above, respectively.

The Company’s restricted marketable debt securities are primarily U.S. government issued bonds and international bonds. The Company’s debt securities held at Yanacocha are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, using published market prices of actively traded securities. The Company’s debt securities held at Corporate and Other are classified within Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Level 1 debt securities are valued using published market prices of actively traded securities and the Level 2 debt securities are valued using pricing models which are based on published market inputs for similar, actively traded securities.

The Company's restricted other assets are primarily money market securities with a term longer than three months which are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. As such, they are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s derivative instruments consist of the Stream Credit Facility Agreement, the Cadia Power Purchase Agreement, foreign currency fixed forward contracts, and contingent considerations.

The Stream Credit Facility Agreement and the Cadia Power Purchase Agreement were acquired as part of the Newcrest transaction and are financial instruments that meet the definition of a derivative, but are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815. These agreements are accounted for at fair value using probability weighted discounted cash flow models and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including long-term metal prices, life of mine production profiles, forward power prices, forecasted power generation volume, discount rates, and inflation assumptions. Refer to Note 14 for further information.

The foreign currency fixed forward contracts are valued using pricing models based on forward curves. The Company’s derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 14 for further information.

The contingent consideration assets and liabilities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the discount rate will result in an inverse impact to the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration assets and liabilities. For certain contingent consideration assets, a change in copper price will result in a corresponding impact to the estimated fair value. Refer to Note 14 for further information.

The following tables set forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Gold and Fuel Hedge Programs

Both the gold and fuel hedge programs acquired through the Newcrest transaction were settled during November 2023. The settlement of the gold and fuel hedge programs resulted in a net gain of $7 which was recognized in earnings in Other income (loss), net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Stream Credit Facility Agreement ("SCFA")

The SCFA is a non-revolving credit facility in relation to the Fruta del Norte mine, which is wholly owned and operated by Lundin Gold Inc. ("Lundin Gold") in which the Company holds a 32.0% equity interest (refer to Note 15 for further information). The SCFA has a face value of $150 to be repaid in cash based on the Fruta del Norte mine's gold and silver production. The amount of each monthly payment is the sum of the following: (i) 7.75% of refined gold processed in the prior month, multiplied by the excess of the gold price over $400 per ounce (subject to an inflationary adjustment), until 350,000 ounces is reached; and (ii) 100% of refined silver processed in the prior month, multiplied by the excess of the silver price over $4 per ounce (subject to an inflationary adjustment), until 6 million ounces is reached. Lundin Gold also has the option to prepay (i) 50% of the remaining SCFA on June 30, 2024 for $150 and/or (ii) the other 50% of the remaining SCFA on June 30, 2026 for $225.

The SCFA is a financial instrument that meets the definition of a derivative and is accounted for at fair value using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model, but is not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815. Changes in the fair value are recognized in Other income (loss), net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The SCFA meets the definition of a derivative as the principal and interest payments are calculated based on the future prices and production profiles of gold and silver, which are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host non-revolving credit facility. The SCFA has a stated interest rate of 7.5%. Repayments in excess of the principal and stated interest rate amount are recognized in Other income (loss), net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the SCFA was $276 at December 31, 2023, of which $113 is recognized in the current portion of Derivative assets and $163 is recognized in non-current Derivative assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cadia Power Purchase Agreement ("Cadia PPA")

The Cadia PPA is a 15-year renewable power purchase agreement. The Cadia PPA will provide the Company with access to large scale generation certificates which the Company intends to surrender to achieve a reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions. The Cadia PPA is a financial instrument that meets the definition of a derivative and is accounted for at fair value using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model, but is not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815. Changes in the fair value are recognized in Other income (loss), net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the Cadia PPA was $148 at December 31, 2023, of which $2 is recognized in the current portion of Derivative assets and $146 is recognized in non-current Derivative assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contingent Consideration Assets and Liabilities

Contingent consideration assets and liabilities are comprised of contingent consideration to be received or paid by the Company in conjunction with various sales of assets and investments with future payment contingent upon meeting certain milestones. These contingent consideration assets and liabilities are accounted for at fair value using probability weighted discounted cash flow models and consist of financial instruments that meet the definition of a derivative, but are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815. Refer to Note 13 for further information regarding the fair value of the contingent consideration assets and liabilities.

Hedging Instruments

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 between June and December 2023 included in the Company's operating mines located in Canada and Australia, respectively. The fixed forward contracts were transacted for risk management purposes. The Company designated the CAD-denominated and AUD-denominated fixed forward contracts as foreign currency cash flow hedges against the forecasted CAD-denominated and AUD-denominated operating expenditures, respectively. The hedge programs matured and no amounts remain in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2023.

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 included in the Company's Tanami segment. 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.

(4)Non-current restricted investments are legally pledged for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations and are included in Other non-current assets. For further information regarding these amounts, refer to Note 6.

Equity Method Investments

Income (loss) from the Company's equity method investments is recognized in Equity income (loss) of affiliates, which for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 primarily consists of income of $63, $102 and $166, respectively, from the Pueblo Viejo mine.

See below for further information on the Company's equity method investments.

Pueblo Viejo

The Pueblo Viejo mine is located in the Dominican Republic and commenced operations in September 2014. Barrick operates and holds the remaining interest in the mine. At acquisition, the carrying value of Newmont’s equity investment in Pueblo Viejo was lower than the underlying net assets of its investment resulting in a basis difference, which is being amortized into Equity income (loss) of affiliates over the remaining estimated useful life of the mine. As of December 31, 2023 the net basis difference was $224.

In June 2009, Goldcorp entered into a $400 shareholder loan agreement with Pueblo Viejo with a term of fifteen years. In April 2012, additional funding of $300 was issued to Pueblo Viejo with a term of twelve years. Both loans bear interest at 95% of LIBOR plus 2.95% which is compounded semi-annually in arrears on February 28 and August 31 of each year. The loans have no set repayment terms. Both loans were fully repaid in December 2022.

In November 2020, the Company and Barrick entered into an agreement with Pueblo Viejo to provide additional funding of up to $1,300 ($520 attributable to Newmont's 40% ownership interest) through a loan facility for the expansion of Pueblo Viejo's operations (“Loan Facility”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and Barrick will distribute funds based on their respective proportionate ownership interest in Pueblo Viejo. The Loan Facility bears interest at 95% of the 6-month SOFR plus 4.25% which is compounded semi-annually in arrears on February 28 and August 31 of each year. The Loan Facility will be provided in two tranches of

In September 2019, the Company and Barrick entered into a $70 revolving loan facility (“Revolving Facility”) to provide short-term financing to Pueblo Viejo. The Company will fund 40% of the borrowings based on its ownership interest in Pueblo Viejo. The Revolving Facility matures on December 31, 2024 and bears interest using the 3-month SOFR plus 2.24%. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Total payments made to Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchased were $448 and $530 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These purchases, net of subsequent sales, were included in Other income (loss), net and the net amount is immaterial.

Lundin Gold Inc.

Lundin Gold is a Canadian based mine development and operating company which wholly owns and operates the Fruta del Norte gold mine in Ecuador. On November 6, 2023, as a part of the Newcrest transaction, the Company acquired 32.0% interest in Lundin Gold. The Company accounts for Lundin as an equity method investment on a quarter lag. At acquisition, the carrying value of Newmont’s equity investment in Lundin Gold was higher than the underlying net assets of its investment resulting in a basis difference. This basis difference is being amortized into Equity income (loss) of affiliates over the remaining estimated useful life of the mine. As of December 31, 2023 the net basis difference was $640.

The Company purchases 50% of gold produced from Lundin Gold at a price determined based on delivery dates and a defined quotational period and resells those ounces to third parties. Total payments made to Lundin Gold for gold purchased were $30 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These purchases, net of subsequent sales, were included in Other income (loss), net and the net amount is immaterial. At December 31, 2023, there was $13 payable due to Lundin Gold for gold purchases.

NuevaUnión

The NuevaUnión project is located in Chile and is currently in the Company’s development project pipeline. The project is jointly managed by Newmont and Teck Resources, who holds the remaining 50% interest. At acquisition, the carrying value of Newmont’s equity investment in NuevaUnión was lower than the underlying net assets of its investment resulting in a basis difference. This basis difference will be amortized into Equity income (loss) of affiliates over the remaining estimated useful life of the mine beginning when commercial production is declared. As of December 31, 2023 the net basis difference was $67.

Norte Abierto

The Norte Abierto project is located in Chile and is currently in the Company’s development project pipeline. The project is jointly managed by Newmont and Barrick, who holds the remaining 50.0% interest. Newmont owed deferred payments to Barrick to be satisfied through funding a portion of Barrick’s share of Norte Abierto project expenditures.

In December 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Barrick and subsequently settled the deferred payments. Immediately prior to settlement, there were $23 and $73 related to these deferred payments included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively. Per the terms of the agreement, the settlement occurred through a cash payment of approximately $60 and funding of prefeasibility study costs for the Norte Abierto project. The Company has agreed to fund both its and Barrick's portions of prefeasibility study costs, up to a total of $60, to occur in the near future. If prefeasibility costs exceed the agreed upon $60, the costs will be paid proportionately by the Company and Barrick. The $30 related to the prefeasibility study costs associated with Barrick's portion, of which $20 is recognized within Other current liabilities and $10 within Other non-current liabilities, will be satisfied as funding occurs.

At December 31, 2023 the carrying value of Newmont’s equity investment in Norte Abierto was lower than the underlying net assets of its investment by $209. This basis difference will be amortized into Equity income (loss) of affiliates over the remaining estimated useful life of the mine beginning when commercial production is declared.

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, 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. 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 to 2027. In June 2023, Yanacocha received approval of its updated compliance plan from MINEM and was granted an extension to June 2026 to achieve compliance. The Company appealed this approval to the Mining Council requesting the regulatory extension until 2027. In December 2023, this appeal was granted and the Mining Council has established that MINEM has to approve a new schedule considering permits, technical studies, logistics and the implementation of the plan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process, with the exception of the new WTP design which was

189

Table of Contents

NEWMONT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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 approved the WTP design in 2021. Construction of the effluent pipeline began in 2021, and construction of the new WTP began in 2022. Both projects are scheduled to be completed in 2024.

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

The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $215, assumed 100% by Newmont, at December 31, 2023.

Goldcorp Canada Ltd. - 100% Newmont Owned

Porcupine mine site. The Porcupine complex is comprised of active open pit and underground mining operations as well as inactive, legacy sites from its extensive history of mining gold in and around the city of Timmins, Ontario since the early 1900s. As a result of these primarily historic mining activities, there are mine hazards in the area that could require some form of reclamation. The Company is conducting studies to better catalog, prioritize, and update its existing information of these historical mine hazards, to inform its closure plans and estimated closure costs. Based on work performed during 2023, a $46 reclamation adjustment was recorded at December 31, 2023, however, on-going studies will extend beyond the current year and could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Porcupine.

Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd. - 100% Newmont Owned

Cadia mine site. Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd. (“Cadia Holdings”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Newcrest, which was acquired by Newmont in November 2023. The mine site is subject to regulations by the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (the “NSW EPA”). During the quarter ended June 2023, the NSW EPA issued variations to its Environment Protection License (“EPL”), a Prevention Notice and Notices to Provide Information regarding the management of, and investigation into potential breaches relating to, dust emissions and other air pollutants from Cadia Holdings’ tailings storage facilities and ventilation rises. The license variations largely formalized the actions Cadia Holdings had developed in consultation with the NSW EPA and was already undertaking across a range of measures. Cadia Holdings received a letter from the NSW EPA in June 2023 requiring it to immediately comply with specific statutory requirements and EPL conditions. Adjustments were implemented underground, including a reduction in mining rates, modifications to the ventilation circuit and the installation of additional dust sprays and spray curtains. Additional dust collection units were subsequently installed enabling normal mining rates to be restored.

In August 2023, the NSW EPA commenced proceedings in the Land and Environment Court of NSW (the “NSW Land and Environment Court”) against Cadia Holdings, alleging that air emissions from Cadia on or about March 1, 2022 exceeded the standard of concentration for total solid particles permitted under applicable laws due to the use of surface exhaust fans at the mine. On September 29, 2023, Cadia Holdings entered a plea of guilty and the NSW Land and Environmental Court listed the case for a sentencing hearing on March 28, 2024. On October 13, 2023, the NSW EPA commenced additional proceedings in the NSW Land and Environment Court against Cadia Holdings, alleging two additional contraventions of applicable air emissions requirements between November 3 and 5, 2021 and May 24 and 25, 2023 and two contraventions related to alleged air pollution from tailings storage facilities on October 13 and 31, 2022. On November 24, 2023, Cadia Holdings entered a plea of guilty to the two additional charges relating to applicable air emissions requirements and the NSW Land and Environmental Court listed the case for a sentencing hearing on March 28, 2024. The proceedings related to alleged air pollution from Cadia Holdings’ tailings storage facilities are adjourned for further directions on May 17, 2024. The NSW EPA’s investigation regarding the management of air emissions from the mine is ongoing.

While no specific relief has been sought by the NSW EPA in its proceeding against Cadia Holdings before the NSW Land and Environmental Court, the court can impose penalties.

Other Legal Matters

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

Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., which was acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited in 2022 (still referred to herein as “Kirkland” for ease of reference), owns certain mining and mineral rights in northeastern Ontario, Canada, referred to here as the Holt-McDermott property, on which it suspended operations in April 2020. A subsidiary of the Company has a retained royalty obligation (“Holt royalty obligation”) to Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”) for production on the Holt-McDermott property. In August 2020, the Company and Kirkland signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Kirkland Agreement”). As part of the Kirkland Agreement, the Company purchased

190

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

an option (the “Holt option”) for $75 from Kirkland for the mining and mineral rights subject to the Holt royalty obligation. The Company has the right to exercise the Holt option and acquire ownership to the mineral interests subject to the Holt royalty obligation in the event Kirkland intends to resume operations and process material subject to the obligation. Kirkland has the right to assume the Company’s Holt royalty obligation at any time, in which case the Holt option would terminate.

On August 16, 2021, International Royalty Corporation (“IRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Gold, filed an action in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia against Newmont Corporation, Newmont Canada Corporation, Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC (collectively "Newmont"), and certain Kirkland defendants (collectively "Kirkland"). IRC alleges the Kirkland Agreement is oppressive to the interests of Royal Gold under the Nova Scotia Companies Act and the Canada Business Corporations Act, and that, by entering into the Kirkland Agreement, Newmont breached its contractual obligations to Royal Gold. IRC seeks declaratory relief, and $350 in alleged royalty payments that it claims Newmont expected to pay under the Holt royalty obligation, but for the Kirkland Agreement. Kirkland filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case against it, which the court granted in October 2022. Newmont submitted its statement of defense on February 27, 2023, and a motion for summary judgment on January 12, 2024. The motion for summary judgment will be heard before the Court on February 27 and 29, 2024. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.

On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.

On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1,200. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont, along with the other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss based on delay on November 29, 2022. On August 22, 2023, the Court granted the motion and dismissed the Ontario complaint for delay. NWG filed an appeal with the Court of Appeal for Ontario on September 21, 2023. On January 9, 2024, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice awarded Newmont C$0.5 in costs. The appeal remains pending and will be heard on April 29, 2024. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

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

On December 24, 2018, two individual plaintiffs, who are members of the Ghana Parliament (“Plaintiffs”), filed a writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. On January 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the Statement of Plaintiff’s Case outlining the details of the Plaintiff’s case and subsequently served Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (“NGGL”) and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (“NGRL”) along with the other named defendants, the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana and 33 other mining companies with interests in Ghana. The Plaintiffs allege that under article 268 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the mining company defendants are not entitled to carry out any exploitation of minerals or other natural resources in Ghana, unless their respective transactions, contracts or concessions are ratified or exempted from ratification by the Parliament of Ghana. Newmont’s current mining leases are both ratified by Parliament; NGGL June 13, 2001 mining lease, ratified by Parliament on October 21, 2008, and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease; ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliamentary ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning

191

Table of Contents

NEWMONT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliamentary ratification; (iii) a declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent; and (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all un-ratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $2,123 and $1,872, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In connection with the Company's investment in Galore Creek, Newmont will owe NovaGold Resources Inc. $75 upon the earlier of approval to construct a mine, mill and all related infrastructure for the Galore Creek project or the initiation of construction of a mine, mill or related infrastructure. The amount due is non-interest bearing. The decision for an approval and commencement of construction is contingent on the results of a prefeasibility study which is currently under way and feasibility study which has not yet occurred. As such, this amount has not been accrued.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 2013. Based upon its assessment, management concluded that, at December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

On November 6, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Newcrest Mining Limited ("Newcrest") (refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) which operated under its own set of internal controls. As permitted by the SEC Staff interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses, the Company’s management excluded Newcrest from the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. Since the acquisition, the Company transitioned certain Newcrest processes to the Company’s internal control processes and added other internal controls over significant processes specific to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumes as a result of the acquisition, and to post-acquisition activities, including internal controls associated with the valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction. The Company will continue the process of integrating internal controls over financial reporting for Newcrest and plans to incorporate Newcrest in the evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024. Newcrest represented 31% of the Company’s consolidated Total assets as of December 31, 2023, while its Sales comprised 8% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

As permitted by the SEC Staff interpretive guidance for proportionately consolidated entities, the Company’s management excluded NGM from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2023, as management does not have the ability to dictate, modify or assess the controls at NGM. The Company has implemented internal controls over financial reporting for recognizing its proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of NGM. Refer to Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for NGM's "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" for Opinion on the Financial Statements and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

NGM represented 13% of the Company’s consolidated Total assets at December 31, 2023, while its Sales comprised 19% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, who audited the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2023 and the year then ended included in this Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, at December 31, 2023, which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Controls

Subject to the above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Newmont Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 framework (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Newmont Corporation (the Company), based on our audit and the report of other auditors, maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria.

We did not examine the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Nevada Gold Mines LLC, a 38.5% owned investment which is proportionately consolidated, whose financial statements reflect total assets and sales constituting 13% and 19%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The effectiveness of Nevada Gold Mines LLC’s internal control over financial reporting was audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the effectiveness of Nevada Gold Mines LLC’s internal control over financial reporting, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Newcrest Mining Limited, which is included in the 2023 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted 31% of total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 8% of revenues for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Newcrest.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, the related notes and financial statement schedule in Item 15(a)(2) and our report dated February 29, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit and the report of the other auditors. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

In accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and the Company’s insider trading policy, directors, officers and certain employees who, at such time, are not in possession of material non-public information about the Company are permitted to enter into written plans that pre-establish amounts, prices and dates (or formula for determining the amounts, prices and dates) of future purchases or sales of the Company’s stock, including shares acquired pursuant to the Company’s employee and director equity plans. Under the Company’s stock trading standard, the first trade made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan may take place no earlier than 90 days after adoption of the trading plan.
