“We delivered exceptional results and another profitable project this quarter with the completion of the Tanami expansion in Australia,” said Gary J. Goldberg, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our free
cash flow more than doubled to nearly $500 million and gold production rose seven percent compared to the prior year quarter as lower cost production from our two newest mines – Merian and Long Canyon –
offset lower production at more mature operations. This performance gives us the means to fund our Quecher Main project in Peru – which will extend mine life to 2027 and enable future development at Yanacocha – and increase our dividend for the third quarter by 50 percent.”

Third Quarter 2017 Summary Results
GAAP Net income from continuing operations attributable to stockholders of $213 million or $0.39 per diluted share for the quarter, up 22 percent from $169 million or $0.32 per share in the prior year quarter on higher gold production and lower income taxes partially offset by lower average realized gold prices.
Adjusted net income was $183 million or $0.35 per diluted share down eight percent from $202 million or $0.38 per share in the prior year quarter. The adjustments to net income include $0.04 per share of tax
and other adjustments.

NEWMONT THIRD QUARTER 2017 2 NEWS RELEASE
Revenue rose five percent to $1.9 billion for the quarter as increased sales volumes offset a lower average realized gold price.
Average realized price6 for gold was four percent lower at $1,276 per ounce for the quarter compared to $1,329 in the prior year quarter; average realized price for copper improved by $1.02 to $3.06 per pound.
Attributable gold production increased seven percent to 1.3 million ounces for the quarter as new production at Merian and Long Canyon was partially offset by lower throughput at Twin Creeks and lower grades at Boddington.
Gold CAS totaled $1,017 million for the quarter compared to $918 million in the prior year quarter. Gold CAS per ounce rose two percent to $721 per ounce compared to $706 in the prior year quarter on higher
direct operating costs, primarily unfavorable Australian dollar exchange rates, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold and lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments.
Gold AISC rose two percent to $943 per ounce compared to $925 in the prior year quarter on increased CAS per ounce and higher exploration and advanced projects spend, partially offset by lower sustaining capital.
Attributable copper production from Phoenix and Boddington was 12,000 tonnes compared to 15,000 in the prior year quarter. Copper CAS totaled $36 million for the quarter. Copper CAS per pound improved 36 percent to $1.38 per pound for the quarter on lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.
Copper AISC improved 36 percent to $1.65 per pound on improved unit CAS.
Capital expenditures7 decreased 28 percent from the prior year quarter to $194 million as growth projects including Merian and Long Canyon moved into commercial production partially offset by the ramp-up in expenditure related to the Ahafo expansions.
Consolidated operating cash flow from continuing operations increased 35 percent from the prior year quarter to $688 million with a reduction in working capital and taxes paid. Free cash flow increased
107 percent to $494 million for the quarter on higher sales volumes and lower capital expenditures.
Balance sheet improved as Newmont ended the quarter with $3.0 billion cash on hand, a leverage ratio of 0.4x net debt to adjusted EBITDA and one of the best credit ratings in the mining sector. Since 2013, Newmont has streamlined its balance sheet and reduced gross debt by over 33 percent and net debt by
over 77 percent. The Company is committed to maintaining an investment grade credit profile.

Projects update
Newmont’s capital-efficient project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life. Near-term projects are presented below. Funding for the Tanami Expansion, Subika Underground, Ahafo Mill Expansion, Twin Underground and Quecher Main projects has been approved and these
projects are in execution or in production. Additional projects represent incremental improvements to production and cost guidance.
• Tanami Expansion (Australia) includes a second decline in the mine and incremental capacity in the plant to increase profitable production and serve as a platform for future growth. The project achieved
commercial production at the end of August 2017 and is expected to maintain Tanami’s annual gold production at 425,000 to 475,000 ounces at CAS of between $600 and $650 per ounce and AISC of between $700 and $750 per ounce for the first five years of production. Capital costs are estimated at
approximately $120 million with expenditure of approximately $45 million in 2017. The project has an IRR of more than 35 percent at a $1,200 gold price.
• Subika Underground (Africa) leverages existing infrastructure and an optimized approach to develop Ahafo’s most promising underground resource. First production was achieved in June 2017 with commercial production expected in the second half of 2018. The project is expected to increase
average annual gold production by between 150,000 and 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2019 with an initial mine life of approximately 11 years. Capital costs for the project are estimated at between $160 and $200 million with expenditure of $80 to $90 million in
2017. The project has an IRR of more than 20 percent at a $1,200 gold price.

NEWMONT THIRD QUARTER 2017 3 NEWS RELEASE
• Ahafo Mill Expansion (Africa) is designed to maximize resource value by improving production margins and accelerating stockpile processing. The project also supports profitable development of Ahafo’s highly prospective underground resource. First production is expected in the first half of 2019
with commercial production expected in the second half of 2019. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production by between 75,000 and 100,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2020. Capital costs for the project are estimated at between $140 and $180 million with expenditure of approximately $40 to $50 million in 2017. The project has an IRR of more than 20 percent at a $1,200 gold price.
Together the Ahafo expansion projects (Ahafo Mill Expansion and Subika Underground) improve Ahafo’s production to between 550,000 and 650,000 ounces per year for the first five full years of production (2020–2024). During this period Ahafo’s CAS is expected to be between $650 and $750
per ounce and All-in sustaining cost is expected to be between $800 and $900 per ounce. This represents average production improvement of between 200,000 and 300,000 ounces at CAS improvement of between $150 and $250 per ounce and AISC improvement of $250 to $350 per ounce, compared to 2016 actuals.
• Twin Underground (North America) is a portal mine beneath Twin Creek’s Vista surface mine with similar mineralization. First production was achieved in August 2017 with commercial production expected mid-2018. The expansion is expected to average between 30,000 and 40,000 ounces per
year for the first five years (2018 to 2022). During this period CAS is expected to be between $525 and $625 per ounce and AISC between $650 and $750 per ounce. Capital costs are expected to be between $45 and $55 million with expenditure of $15 to $25 million in 2017, to reflect higher
production and additional infrastructure to support a phased approach with exploration upside. The project IRR is expected to be about 20 percent at a $1,200 gold price.
• Quecher Main (South America) will add oxide production at Yanacocha, leverage existing infrastructure and enable potential future growth at Yanacocha. First production is expected in early 2019 with commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2019. Quecher Main extends the life of the Yanacocha operation to 2027 with average annual gold production of approximately 200,000 ounces
per year between 2020 and 2025 (100 percent basis). During the same period incremental CAS is expected to be between $750 and $850 per ounce and AISC between $900 and $1,000 per ounce.
Capital costs for the project have been reduced to between $250 and $300 million with expenditure of $10 to $15 million in 2017. The project IRR is expected to be greater than 10 percent at a $1,200 gold price.

Outlook
Newmont’s outlook reflects steady gold production and ongoing investment in its current assets and best growth prospects. Longer term guidance is expected to be updated at Investor Day in December 2017.
Economic assumptions include $1,200 per ounce gold, $2.50 per pound copper, $55 per barrel WTI and $0.75 Australian dollar exchange rate for the remainder of the year.
Attributable gold production guidance is unchanged — Production guidance for 2017 remains between 5.0 and 5.4 million ounces on Full Potential improvements in North America and Africa.
Compared to the prior year, full year production at Merian and Long Canyon more than offsets declines at Twin Creeks and Yanacocha.
• North America production guidance is unchanged. Production guidance for 2017 remains between 2.1 and 2.2 million ounces following changes to blend management at Twin Creeks and improved mill grade and leach volumes at Cripple Creek & Victor.
• South America production guidance is unchanged. Production guidance remains between 630,000 and 690,000 ounces in 2017. The Company continues to advance oxide and sulfide potential at Yanacocha which represent additional upside not currently captured in guidance.
• Australia production guidance is unchanged. Production guidance for 2017 remains at between 1.5 and 1.7 million ounces. The Company is studying a further expansion at Tanami which
represents additional upside not currently captured in guidance
• Africa production guidance is unchanged. Production guidance for 2017 remains between 775,000 and 835,000 ounces following Full Potential improvements to throughput and recovery at Akyem.
Total gold cost outlook is unchanged – CAS guidance for 2017 is unchanged between $675 and $715 per ounce on increased production and mining and processing improvements in North America, Africa
and Australia. Total AISC guidance for 2017 is unchanged between $900 and $950 per ounce on CAS improvements and reduction of sustaining capital in North America, Africa and Australia.
• North America cost guidance is unchanged. CAS per ounce guidance for 2017 remains between $675 and $725 on increased production, mine plan improvements at Carlin and Full Potential cost savings at Cripple Creek & Victor and Long Canyon. AISC per ounce guidance for 2017 remains between $855 and $930 on lower CAS and sustaining capital.
• South America cost guidance is increased. CAS per ounce guidance increases to between $725 and $775 in 2017 related to lower silver by-product credits and higher costs related to processing deeper transitional ores at Yanacocha. AISC per ounce guidance increases to between $965 and $1,025 in 2017 on higher CAS, reclamation and sustaining capital.
• Australia cost guidance is unchanged. CAS per ounce guidance for 2017 remains between $640 and $690 on Full Potential improvements to mining costs at Boddington. AISC per ounce guidance for 2017 remains between $795 and $855 on lower CAS and sustaining capital improvements.
