PERCENTAGE OF GOLD RESERVES BY JURISDICTION (North America includes 38.5 percent interest in Nevada Gold Mines; South America includes Newmont's 40 percent interest in Pueblo Viejo.)

"As the world's leading gold company, Newmont has an exceptional history of exploration success and a track record of consistently delivering on our commitments," said Tom Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In 2020, we added 6 million ounces of gold reserves overcoming the challenges of an unprecedented year. Newmont's ability to replace reserves is underpinned by our disciplined operating model and world-class portfolio which will support stable production for decades to come."

KEY HIGHLIGHTS AND DIFFERENTIATORS:

  • Industry's largest gold Mineral Reserves of 94.2 million ounces
  • Over 90 percent of gold reserves in top-tier jurisdictions
  • Addition of 6 million ounces in 2020, approximately 5 million ounces added through drilling
  • Gold reserve life at operating sites of >10 years underpinned by a strong base at Boddington, Tanami, Ahafo, Yanacocha, Peñasquito, and Nevada Gold Mines (NGM), and further enhanced from our seven other operating mines and equity ownership in Pueblo Viejo
  • Significant gold reserves per share with 117 ounces per 1,000 shares, highest in the industry
  • Measured & Indicated gold Mineral Resources of 69.6 million ounces; Inferred of 31.6 million ounces
  • Significant exposure to copper with 6.9 million tonnes in reserves, 8.0 million tonnes in Measured & Indicated resources and 3.9 million tonnes in Inferred resources
  • Additional exposure to silver, zinc, and lead mainly at Peñasquito

PERCENTAGE OF GOLD RESERVES BY JURISDICTION

Newmont's reserve base is a key differentiator with over 90 percent of gold reserves located in top-tier jurisdictions, an operating reserve life of more than 10 years and average reserve grade of 1.03 grams per tonne. In addition, Newmont has substantial exposure to other metals, with nearly 65 million gold equivalent ounces2 from copper, silver, zinc, lead and molybdenum.

2020 Gold Reserves

94.2

For 2020, Newmont reported 94.2 million ounces of gold Mineral Reserves slightly lower than prior year total of 95.7 million ounces after adjusting for the KCGM and Red Lake divestments. Depletion of 7.5 million ounces was largely replaced by additions before revisions of 4.9 million ounces and net revisions of 1.1 million ounces primarily from mine plan improvements.

Additions before revisions of 4.9 million ounces through exploration met the Company's target despite challenges created by the pandemic with travel restrictions and additional safety protocols. Notable reserve additions for the year from Newmont's operating sites included:

  • Ahafo added 0.8 million ounces primarily from drilling at Subika Underground
  • Tanami added 0.6 million ounces from additional drilling at Auron and Federation
  • Merian added 0.6 million equity ounces primarily through drilling at the Merian 2 Open Pit
  • Nevada Gold Mines added 0.8 million equity ounces and Pueblo Viejo added 0.7 million equity ounces

Favorable net revisions include 1.7 million ounces at Boddington due to the conversion of a layback in the North Open Pit from resource to reserve, partially offset by net negative revision at NGM of 0.4 million ounces and revisions at Ahafo, Cripple Creek & Victor (CC&V), and Musselwhite from mine model and design updates.

Newmont has continued to make progress at recently acquired sites, demonstrating the Company's ability to improve operational performance and position operations for future growth through its proven operating model and disciplined technical standards. Highlights from select sites in 2020 net of revisions included:

  • Éléonore replaced depletion with reserves of 1.3 million ounces, as a result of positive drilling results along with cost improvements from Newmont's Full Potential program
  • Porcupine more than offset depletion, with reserves of 3 million ounces largely due to progressing study work at the Pamour pit and nearly replacing depletion at the Borden Underground
  • Cerro Negro replaced depletion with reserves of 2.6 million ounces by advancing infill drilling at underground mines

Newmont's 38.5 percent interest in NGM represented 17.4 million equity ounces of gold reserves at year end, as compared to 18.6 million equity ounces at the end of 2019. PV represented 4.1 million equity ounces in gold reserves at year end as compared to 3.8 million equity ounces at the end of 2019, representing Newmont's 40 percent interest.

Gold reserve grade held constant at 1.03 grams per tonne compared to the prior year.

2020 Gold Resources

31.6

In 2020, Newmont reported Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources of 69.6 million ounces as compared to 74.1 million ounces in the prior year. Inferred gold Mineral Resources totaled 31.6 million ounces as compared to 29.4 million ounces in 2019. The impact from the pandemic required Newmont to prioritize drilling programs in existing operations due to travel restrictions and impacted our ability to progress greenfield resources.

Measured and Indicated Gold Mineral Resources added through exploration programs were 3.4 million ounces and included notable additions before revisions at Yanacocha of 0.5 million equity ounces and 0.3 million ounces at Ahafo South, Porcupine and Éléonore. Additionally, NGM added 0.9 million equity ounces.

Measured and Indicated Gold Mineral Resources reported negative revisions of 1.8 million ounces mainly driven by Porcupine of 2.4 million ounces primarily due to updated study work at the Dome and Pamour West Open Pits partially offset by positive revisions in North and South America.

Inferred Gold Mineral Resources added through exploration programs were 3.5 million ounces and included notable additions at Tanami of 1.4 million ounces, Merian of 0.5 million equity ounces, Cerro Negro of 0.5 million ounces and Ahafo South of 0.4 million ounces. Inferred Gold Mineral Resources had negative net revisions of 0.2 million ounces.

The formation of the MARA project at Agua Rica increased Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resources by 1.2 million ounces and Inferred Gold Resources by 0.4 million ounces.

Newmont's Measured and Indicated gold Mineral Resource grade decreased to 0.65 grams per tonne compared to 0.70 grams per tonne in the prior year largely from higher grade being converted to reserves. Inferred gold Mineral Resource grade of 0.65 grams per tonne increased compared with 0.63 grams per tonne from 2019.

OTHER METALS

Newmont's base metal reserves were largely stable from 2019. Copper reserves increased slightly to 6.9 million tonnes from 6.8 million tonnes in 2019. Copper resources increased to 8.0 million tonnes of Measured & Indicated and 3.9 million tonnes of Inferred from 6.8 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated and 3.5 million tonnes of Inferred due to additions at Newmont's Nueva Union joint venture and the formation of the Agua Rica joint venture.

Silver reserves decreased from 652 million ounces to 613 million ounces, largely due to depletion and the temporary suspension of exploration activities at Peñasquito from COVID-19 restrictions. Measured and Indicated silver resources were 482 million ounces and Inferred were 204 million ounces with revisions at Peñasquito, offsetting additions from Nueva Union and the MARA project at Agua Rica.

Lead reserves decreased to 1.3 million tonnes from 1.5 million, zinc reserves also decreased to 3.1 million tonnes from 3.4 million tonnes. In both cases the reduction was primarily due to depletion and the suspension of exploration activities at Peñasquito from COVID-19 restrictions. Measured & Indicated zinc resources decreased to 1.7 million tonnes from 1.9 million tonnes and Inferred zinc resources decreased to 0.8 million tonnes from 1.0 million tonnes. Measured & Indicated lead resources remained consistent at 0.8 million tonnes and Inferred lead resources decreased to 0.4 million tonnes from 0.5 million tonnes.

EXPLORATION OUTLOOK

Newmont's total exploration expenditure is expected to be approximately $215 million in 2021 with 80 percent of total exploration investment dedicated to near-mine expansion programs and the remaining 20 percent allocated to the advancement of greenfield projects and innovation programs.

Additionally, Newmont's share of exploration investment for its non-managed joint ventures will total approximately $35 million.

Geographically, the Company expects to invest approximately 28 percent in North America, 25 percent in South America, 20 percent in Australia and the remainder in Africa and other locations.

GOLD RESERVE SENSITIVITY

A $100 increase in gold price would result in an approximate four percent increase in gold reserves while a $100 decrease in gold price would result in an approximate seven percent decrease in gold reserves. These sensitivities assume an oil price of $50 per barrel (WTI), Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.75 and Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.77.

Newmont's reported 2019 gold Mineral Reserves of 100.2 million ounces, gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 76.7 million ounces, and gold Inferred Mineral Resources of 31.3 million ounces were adjusted for the sale of Red Lake and the Company's 50 percent interest in Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM), which occurred during first quarter of 2020. Combined, these sites represented approximately 4.5 million ounces of gold Mineral Reserves and 2.6 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (resources), bringing Newmont's adjusted 2019 gold Mineral Reserves to 95.7 million ounces and gold Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources to 74.1 million ounces. Newmont's adjusted 2019 Inferred gold Mineral Resources were 29.4 million ounces, after removal of 1.9 million ounces for the sale of Red Lake and KCGM.

RESERVE AND RESOURCE TABLES

Proven and Probable reserves are based on extensive drilling, sampling, mine modeling and metallurgical testing from which we determine economic feasibility. Newmont's metal price assumptions follow SEC guidance not to exceed a three year trailing average. 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 included in this release list the average metallurgical recovery rate for each deposit, which takes into account the assumed processing methods. The cut-off grade, or lowest grade of material considered economic to process, varies with material type, price, metallurgical recoveries, operating costs and co- or by-product credits. 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, silver, copper, lead, zinc and molybdenum will be realized. Ounces of gold and silver or tonnes of copper, zinc, lead, 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, silver, copper, zinc, lead, or molybdenum, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could render certain Proven and Probable reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to exploit and might result in a reduction of reserves.

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. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories. Ounces of gold and silver or tonnes of copper, zinc, lead, and molybdenum included in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Market fluctuations in the price of gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead and molybdenum, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could change future estimates of resources. Please refer to the reserves and resources cautionary statement at the end of the release.

We publish reserves annually, and will recalculate reserves at December 31, 2021, 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 2021. Reserve disclosures as at December 31, 2021 will be presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, expected to be filed in February 2022, in accordance with the new Regulation S-K 1300 requirements of the SEC; whereas reserve disclosures as at December 31, 2020, presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with the SEC's Industry Guide 7.

Cautionary Statement:

The "Mineral Reserves" or "reserves" disclosed in this release have been prepared in compliance with Industry Guide 7 published by the SEC. As used in this news release, the term "reserve" means that part of a mineral deposit that can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The term "economically," as used in this definition, means that profitable extraction or production has been established or analytically demonstrated in a feasibility study to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment and market assumptions. The term "legally," as used in this definition, does not imply that all permits needed for mining and processing have been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely resolved. However, for a reserve to exist, Newmont must have a justifiable expectation, based on applicable laws and regulations, that issuance of permits or resolution of legal issues necessary for mining and processing at a particular deposit will be accomplished in the ordinary course and in a timeframe consistent with Newmont's current mine plans. Reserves in this news release are aggregated from the proven and probable classes. The term "Proven Reserves" used in the tables of this news release means reserves for which (a) quantity is estimated from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; (b) grade and/or quality are estimated from the results of detailed sampling; and (c) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurements are spaced so closely and the geologic character is sufficiently defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well established. The term "Probable Reserves" means reserves for which quantity and grade are estimated 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. Newmont classifies all reserves as Probable on its development projects until a year of production has confirmed all assumptions made in the reserve estimates. Proven and Probable reserves include gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead or molybdenum attributable to Newmont's ownership or economic interest. Proven and probable reserves were calculated using cut-off grades. The term "cutoff grade" means the lowest grade of mineralized material considered economic to process. Cut-off grades vary between deposits depending upon prevailing economic conditions, mineability of the deposit, by-products, amenability of the ore to gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead, molybdenum extraction and type of milling or leaching facilities available.

Notice for U.S. Investors:

The terms "resources" and "Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources" are used in this news release. Investors are advised that the SEC does not recognize these terms and "resources" have not been prepared in accordance with Industry Guide 7. Newmont has determined that such "resources" would be substantively the same as those prepared using the Guidelines established by the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) and defined as "Mineral Resource". Estimates of resources are subject to further exploration and development, are subject to additional risks, and no assurance can be given that they will eventually convert to future reserves. Inferred Resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Also, disclosure of contained ounces is permitted under the SME Guideline and other regulatory guidelines, such as Canada's NI 43-101 and Australia's JORC. However, the SEC generally requires mineral resource information in SEC-filed documents to be reported only as in-place tonnage and grade. Investors are reminded that even if significant mineralization is discovered and converted to reserves, during the time necessary to ultimately move such mineralization to production the economic feasibility of production may change. US investors are encouraged to refer to the "Proven and Probable Reserve" tables contained herein for reserves prepared in compliance with the SEC's Industry Guide 7, and to the Company's website for the "Proven and Probable Reserve" and "Mineralized Material tables, available at www.newmont.com and included in the Company's Form 10-K, expected to be filed on or about February 18, 2021, on www.sec.gov. Investors are reminded that the tables presented in the Annual Report are estimates as of December 31, 2020 and were presented on an attributable basis reflecting the Company's ownership interest at such time.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements:

This release may 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, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, estimates and expectations of future production, exploration outlook and expected expenditure, and operational and financial performance. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the "forward-looking statements". Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to the key assumptions set forth on page 5 hereof. For a more detailed discussion of risks and other factors that might impact future looking statements, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), under the heading "Risk Factors", as well as the COVID-19 related "Risk Factor" in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC, available on the SEC website or www.newmont.com. Investors are also encouraged to refer to the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, which is expected to be filed on or about February 18, 2021, with the SEC under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information, The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any "forward-looking statement," including, without limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued "forward-looking statement" constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on "forward-looking statements" is at investors' own risk.
