Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

· Portfolio improvements: Approved the high-grade, low-cost Twin Underground project in Nevada, mined first ore at Subika Underground in Africa, on track for commercial production of the Tanami Expansion project in Australia in the third quarter of 2017 and acquired a 19.9% stake in Continental Gold Inc. who is developing the Buriticá project in Colombia;

· Attributable gold production: Increased 13% to 1.4 million ounces as new production from Merian and Long Canyon more than offset lower grades at Tanami and Yanacocha;

· Net income (loss): Delivered Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders of $192 or $0.36 per diluted share, an increase of $178 from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher gold production and lower income and mining taxes;

· Adjusted net income (loss): Delivered Adjusted net income (loss) of $248 or $0.46 per diluted share, a 60% increase from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 70);

· Adjusted EBITDA: Generated $698 in Adjusted EBITDA, a 16% increase from the prior-year quarter (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 70); and

· Financial strength: Ended the quarter with $3.1 billion cash on hand and increased the dividend payable in the third quarter of 2017 to $0.075 per share, triple the prior-year quarter dividend.

Our global project pipeline

Projects included in our global pipeline comprise an important part of the Company’s growth strategy and reflect opportunities throughout the development cycle. The most advanced projects, including early stage development and projects in or near the execution phase are described below. The exploration, construction and execution of these projects may require significant funding to complete.

Tanami Expansion, Australia. The scope for this project 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 is on track to reach commercial production in the third quarter of 2017 and will maintain Tanami’s annual gold production at 425,000 to 475,000 ounces for the first five years. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $100, of which $13 were related to the second quarter of 2017.

Subika Underground, Africa. This project 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. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $22, all of which related to the second quarter of 2017.

Ahafo Mill Expansion, Africa. This project 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. Development capital costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $9, all of which related to the second quarter of 2017.

Twin Underground, North America. Newmont approved the development of the Twin Underground project in June 2017. The project is a portal mine beneath Twin Creek’s Vista surface mine with similar mineralization. First production is expected in the fourth quarter of 2017, with commercial production beginning in mid-2018. The expansion is expected to increase average gold production by between 30,000 and 40,000 ounces per year for the first five years beginning in 2018.

Quecher Main, South America. Quecher Main is a potential brownfield development within the existing footprint of Yanacocha that will add oxide production and serve as a bridge to development of Yanacocha’s considerable sulfide deposits. Quecher Main extends the life of the Yanacocha operation to 2025, with average annual gold production of about 200,000 ounces (on a consolidated basis) between 2020 and 2025. An investment decision is expected in the second half of 2017 with first production in 2019.

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.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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

NOTE 1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on February 21, 2017 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency and “C$” refers to Canadian currency.

On November 2, 2016, Newmont completed the sale of its 48.5% economic interest in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), which operated the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine (“Batu Hijau”) in Indonesia (the “Batu Hijau Transaction”). As a result, Newmont presents Batu Hijau as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Accordingly, (i) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows have been reclassified to present Batu Hijau as a discontinued operation for all periods presented and (ii) the amounts presented in these notes relate only to our continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 3.

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 prices for gold and copper. 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 and Deferred income tax assets 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.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Inventory

In July 2015, Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11 was issued related to inventory, simplifying the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and the adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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

Stock-based compensation

In March 2016, ASU No. 2016-09 was issued related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification of cash payments related to tax withholdings on behalf of employees on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017, and reclassified $(4) from Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations to Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Adoption of this guidance had no other impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Business Combinations

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-01 was issued clarifying the definition of a business and providing additional guidance for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis. Adoption of this guidance, effective April 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Goodwill

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-04 was issued, which removes step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance, effective April 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12 and No. 2016-20, respectively. The new guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively.

The Company has performed an assessment of the revised guidance and the impacts on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company has completed the review of all contracts and determined that the adoption of this guidance will primarily impact the timing of revenue recognition on certain concentrate contracts based on the Company’s determination of when control is transferred. Currently, revenue is recognized for these contracts based on varying contractual terms indicating when risk of loss and title have transferred to the buyer. Upon adoption, revenue related to concentrate sales will typically be recognized upon completion of loading the material for shipment to the customer and satisfaction of the Company’s significant performance obligations. The Company is finalizing the assessment and quantifying the impacts of changes on certain concentrate contracts.

The Company furthered its evaluation of variable consideration for concentrate sales related to the variable nature of the price and metal quantity. Based on our current analysis, the estimate of revenue recognized for concentrates will remain unchanged as sales will initially be recorded on a provisional basis based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement and the Company’s estimated metal quantities delivered based on weighing and assay data. The Company believes changes in the underlying weight and metal content are not significant to the sale as a whole and therefore do not preclude the recognition of revenue upon transfer of control.

Additionally, the Company completed its evaluation of the impacts of insurance and refining fee classification. Newmont has determined that insurance on the transportation of goods is not considered a separate performance obligation. Newmont has also determined that revenue will be recognized, net of treatment and refining charges when these payments are to customers. When these payments are to third parties, the charges will be recognized within Costs applicable to sales. This classification remains unchanged from current practice.

The Company will adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company currently anticipates adopting the guidance retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amended guidance recognized at January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, will be presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the new guidance, while prior period amounts will not be adjusted and continue to be reported under the guidance in effect for those periods. In the related disclosures, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, will be presented under prior guidance along with prior period amounts for comparative purposes.

Investments

In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 was issued related to financial instruments. The new guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain disclosure requirements for these investments. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects the updated guidance to result in a significant reclassification of unrealized gains and losses on equity investments from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Retained earnings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption.

Leases

In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued related to leases. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. The Company expects to begin assessment of the new guidance during the second half of 2017 with impact analysis performed in 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2019.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15 was issued related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal

years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

Intra-Entity Transfers

In October 2016, ASU No. 2016-16 was issued related to the intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This new guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and removal of the changes in restricted cash activity, which is currently recognized in Other within financing activities, on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Furthermore, the Company will be required to reconcile Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018, and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Employee Benefits

In March 2017, ASU No. 2017-07 was issued related to the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement cost. The new guidance requires the service cost component of net benefit costs be classified similar to other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees. Other components of net benefit costs are required to be classified separately from the service cost and outside income from operations. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance will result in the recognition of other components of net benefit costs within Other income, net rather than Costs and expenses and will no longer be included in costs that benefit the inventory/production process. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

NOTE 4     SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has organized its operations into four geographic regions. The geographic regions include North America, South America, Australia and Africa and represent the Company’s operating segments. The results of these operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. As a result, these operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. Notwithstanding this structure, the Company internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis for each mining operation and has chosen to disclose this information on 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. Newmont’s business activities that are not considered operating segments are included in Corporate and Other. Although they are not required to be included in this footnote, they are provided for reconciliation purposes.

Segment results for the prior period have been retrospectively revised to reflect the following changes:

· On November 2, 2016, the Company sold the Batu Hijau mine that was previously included in Asia Pacific and presented Batu Hijau as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 3.

· In the first quarter of 2017, the Company renamed its Asia Pacific reporting segment to Australia.

NOTE 5     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 is conducting a comprehensive study of the current Yanacocha long-term mining and closure plans as part of the requirement to submit an updated closure plan to Peruvian regulators every five years. The revised closure plan will be submitted to Peruvian regulators in the second half of 2017. The revised closure plan may require the Company to provide additional reclamation bonding for Yanacocha.

The Company’s Reclamation and remediation expense consisted of:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Remediation accretion		2		1		3		2
		4		2		9		4
	$	44	$	21	$	74	$	42

Reclamation expense increased by $21 and $27 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to updated reclamation liability assumptions at Yanacocha regarding water treatment costs on non-operating leach pads and higher reclamation accretion from an increase in Reclamation and remediationliabilities associated with revisions to Yanacocha’s long-term mining and closure plans in December 2016.

The following are reconciliations of Reclamation and remediationliabilities: 

	2017		2016
Reclamation balance at January 1,	$	1,792	$	1,300
Additions, changes in estimates and other		15		2

Additions, changes in estimates and other		3		1
Payments and other		(21)		(10)
Accretion expense		3		2
Remediation balance at June 30,	$	283	$	311

The current portion of reclamation liabilities was $37 and $28 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. The current portion of remediation liabilities was $32 and $33 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $1,846 and $1,792, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to operating properties. In addition, the Company is 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. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $283 and $298, respectively, were accrued for such environmental remediation obligations.

NOTE 8     INCOME AND MINING TAXES

The Company’s Income and mining tax expense (benefit) differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:

Income and mining tax expense	50	%	$	167	99	%	$	238	52	%	$	277	104	%	$	465

A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, each quarter, the Company considers future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income and taxable income in prior carryback year(s), as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction to determine if the deferred tax assets are realizable. If it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will place or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if determined that it will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets.

The Company operates in numerous countries and accordingly it is subject to, and pays taxes under, the various 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 pay the income taxes determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, the Company is subject to an audit of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such audits, 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.

During the second quarter of 2016, one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries received a tax and interest assessment from the Canadian Revenue Authority for $54 relating to a pre-acquisition transaction of Fronteer Gold Inc. and subsidiaries. The taxing authority is disputing the tax attribute that was created as part of the pre-acquisition transaction claimed on Fronteer’s tax return. Due to procedural requirements, the Company paid half of the assessment in the third quarter. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position through all processes available.

As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, none of which are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $10 to $15 in the next 12 months.

NOTE 10    INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) 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 (loss) per common share is computed similarly, except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee stock awards and convertible debt instruments. The dilutive effects of Newmont’s dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in income per share are included in the calculation.

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 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3Prices 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 fair values of the derivative instruments in the table above are presented on a net basis. The gross amounts related to the fair value of the derivatives instruments above are included in Note 14. All other fair value disclosures in the above table are presented on a gross basis.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalent instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash and cash equivalent instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company’s restricted assets, which include cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. Restricted assets that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The securities are segregated based on industry. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, subject to final pricing, is valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves and, as such, is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated value of the Batu Hijau contingent consideration was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future copper prices using the Company’s long-term copper price, and (iii) estimated production and/or development dates for Batu Hijau Phase 7 and the Elang projects in Indonesia. The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, forward curves, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. 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.

The estimated value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold and copper prices, using the Company’s long-term gold and copper prices, and (iii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate costs applicable to sales using the Company’s Australian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. This contingent royalty is capped at $100, of which $84 has been paid to date. The contingent royalty is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Holt royalty obligation was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices using the Company’s long-term gold price, (iii) various gold production scenarios from reserve and resource information and (iv) a weighted average discount rate. The royalty obligation is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s marketable debt securities included investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The Company reviewed the fair value of the auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper on a quarterly basis prior to the investments being redeemed in November 2016 and January 2017, respectively. The marketable debt securities were traded in markets that were not active, traded infrequently and had little price transparency. Therefore, the investments were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 14    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company has and will continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.

Cash Flow Hedges

The following foreign currency and diesel contracts were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of unrealized changes in market 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. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company had the following foreign currency derivative contracts in Australia outstanding at June 30, 2017:

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all hedging instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements held by various financial institutions. In general, the terms of the Company’s agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between it and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency. The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these

Batu Hijau Contingent Consideration

Consideration received by the Company in conjunction with the sale of PTNNT included the Contingent Payment and the Elang Development deferred payment deeds, which were determined to be financial instruments that met the definition of a derivative, but do not qualify for hedge accounting, under ASC 815. See Note 13 for additional information. Contingent consideration of $13 was included in Other non-current assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. There was no change in the value of the contingent consideration during the three or six months ended June 30, 2017.

Provisional Gold and Copper Sales

The Company’s provisional gold and copper concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At June 30, 2017, Newmont had gold and copper sales of 92,000 ounces and 24 million pounds priced at an average of $1,244 per ounce and $2.68 per pound, respectively, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

Adjustments to net realizable value are a result of higher future processing costs in addition to stripping campaigns driving lower grade and lower recovery resulting in higher costs per unit. Of the write-downs during the three months ended June 30, 2016, $31 was related to Carlin, $10 to Twin Creeks and $42 to Yanacocha. Of the write-downs during the six months ended June 30, 2016, $58 was related to Carlin, $12 to Twin Creeks and $87 to Yanacocha.

NOTE 24    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Operating Segments

The Company’s operating and reportable segments are identified in Note 4. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Fronteer matters relate to the North America reportable segment.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various 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 so as to protect the public health and 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.

In early 2015, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, the Ministry of the Environment (“MINAM”), issued proposed water quality criteria for designated beneficial uses which apply to mining companies, including Yanacocha. These criteria would modify 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 and the Company had one year from February 15, 2016, to submit a modification to the previously approved Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On February 15, 2017, Yanacocha submitted its proposed modification to the EIA. After approval, MINAM may provide up to 3 years to develop and implement the modifications to the water management system. In the event Yanacocha is unsuccessful in implementing the modifications, MINAM could impose fines and penalties relating to potential intermittent non-compliant exceedances.

The Company is conducting a comprehensive study of the current Yanacocha long-term mining and closure plans as part of the requirement to submit an updated closure plan to Peruvian regulators every five years. The revised closure plan will be submitted to Peruvian regulators in the second half of 2017. The revised closure plan may require the Company to provide additional reclamation bonding for Yanacocha.

For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our reclamation obligations and the associated risks, refer to Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” and refer to Risk Factors under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed February 21, 2017 on Form 10-K.

Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2017  and December 31, 2016, $1,846 and $1,792, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $37 and $28 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities.  

In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $283 and $298 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. 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 43% greater or 1% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2017. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.

Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain of the more significant matters are discussed below.

Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned

Ross-Adams mine site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont agreed to perform the EE/CA, which has been provided to the USFS. During the first quarter of 2016, the USFS confirmed approval of the EE/CA, and Newmont issued written notice to the USFS certifying that all requirements of the Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (“ASAOC”) between the USFS and Newmont have been completed. The ASAOC will be final upon USFS concurrence with the notice of completion and Newmont payment of USFS response costs. Newmont anticipates that the USFS will issue an Action Memorandum to select the preferred Removal Action alternative identified in the EE/CA. During the third quarter of 2016, Newmont received a notice of completion of work per the ASAOC from the USFS. Newmont is continuing discussions with the USFS on the process to move forward and issue an Action Memorandum and support the development of a Consent Decree. No assurances can be made at this time with respect to the outcome of such negotiations and Newmont cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 51% 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“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 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

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

to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site; (iv) Newmont and Dawn would be responsible for all other EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site.

During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site in a lump sum payment of $42, which Newmont classified as restricted assets, included in Other noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process (with the exception of the design of the water treatment plant which is on hold pending final permitting) and subsequently procured a contractor and initiated implementation of the remedial action.

The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health and is in the process of being closed. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The earthworks component of the closure is anticipated to be completed in 2017. The remaining closure activity will consist primarily of addressing groundwater issues.

The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $192 at June 30, 2017.

Other Legal Matters

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 51.35% Newmont Owned

Choropampa. In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 23 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered into between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. All appeals were referred to the Civil Court of Cajamarca, which affirmed the decisions of the lower court judge. The plaintiffs have filed appeals of such orders before the Supreme Court. Some of these appeals were dismissed by the Supreme Court in favor of Yanacocha and others are pending resolution. Yanacocha will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

Administrative Actions. The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts periodic reviews of the Yanacocha site. In 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, the first quarter of 2017 and June 2017, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. OEFA has resolved some alleged violations with minimal or no findings. In the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2016, the water authority of Cajamarca

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

issued notices of alleged regulatory violations and resolved some allegations in early 2017 with no findings. The experience with the OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the outcome rather than a significant fine. The alleged OEFA violations currently range from zero to 50,430 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 30,000 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $0.00122 based on current exchange rates ($0 to $98). Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.

Conga Project Constitutional Claim. On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of the Conga project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga project Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: (i) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; (ii) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; (iii) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment; and (iv) the directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha has answered the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.

Yanacocha Tax Dispute. In 2000, Yanacocha paid Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. a total of $29 to assume their respective contractual positions in mining concession agreements with Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.M.R.L. The contractual rights allowed Yanacocha the opportunity to conduct exploration on the concessions, but not a purchase of the concessions. The tax authority alleges that the payments to Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. were acquisitions of mining concessions requiring the amortization of the amounts under the Peru Mining Law over the life of the mine. Yanacocha expensed the amounts at issue in the initial year since the payments were not for the acquisition of a concession but rather these expenses represent the payment of an intangible and therefore, amortizable in a single year or proportionally for up to ten years according to Income Tax Law. In 2010, the tax court in Peru ruled in favor of Yanacocha and the tax authority appealed the issue to the judiciary. The first appellate court confirmed the ruling of the tax court in favor of Yanacocha. However, in November, 2015, a Superior Court in Peru made an appellate decision overturning the two prior findings in favor of Yanacocha. Yanacocha has appealed the Superior Court ruling to the Peru Supreme Court. The potential liability in this matter is in the form of fines and interest in an amount up to $75. While the Company has assessed that the likelihood of a ruling against Yanacocha in the Supreme Court as remote, it is not possible to fully predict the outcome of this litigation.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

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

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$1.2 billion. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Investigations

We occasionally identify or are apprised of information or allegations that certain employees, affiliates, agents or associated persons may have engaged in unlawful conduct for which we might be held responsible. We recently conducted an investigation, with the assistance of outside counsel, relating to certain business activities of the Company and its affiliates and contractors in countries outside the U.S. The investigation included a review of compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable laws and regulations. The Company worked with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice with respect to the investigation. In March 2016, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with the U.S. SEC tolling the statute of limitations relating to the investigation, and in April 2016, entered into a similar agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Both of the initial tolling agreements were effective through October 29, 2016. In September 2016, the Company agreed to extend its tolling agreement with the Department of Justice through April 2017, and agreed to a similar extension with the SEC in October 2016.

In late February 2017, the Company received a declination letter from the SEC relating to this investigation indicating that they do not intend to recommend an enforcement action. In June 2017, the Company received a similar letter from the U.S. Department of Justice acknowledging the Company’s cooperation in the investigation and indicating that the Department of Justice had closed its inquiry into the matter.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Royalty payments payable, net of recoverable amounts, are $30 in 2017, $30 in 2018, $31 in 2019, $33 in 2020, $34 in 2021 and $35 thereafter.

On June 25, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (“AngloGold”). Consideration for the acquisition consisted of $982 and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue less Costs applicable to sales on a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable quarterly beginning in the second quarter of 2010 on one-third of gold sales from Boddington. At the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration at $62. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the unpaid contingent consideration was approximately $13 and $14, respectively. Changes to the estimated fair value resulting from periodic revaluations are recorded to Other expense, net. This contingent royalty is capped at $100 in aggregate payments, of which $84 has been paid to date. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid $6 and $-, respectively. The range of remaining undiscounted amounts the Company could pay is between $0 and $16 and the Company expects to pay $5 in the next 12 months.

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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were $2,270 and $2,227, 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.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 70. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency.

This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed February 21, 2017.

Overview 

Newmont is one of the world’s largest gold producers and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and Fortune 500. We have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World for ten consecutive years and have adopted the World Gold Council’s Conflict-Free Gold Policy. We are also engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and copper properties. We have significant operations and/or assets in the United States (“U.S.”), Australia, Peru, Ghana and Suriname.

On November 2, 2016, Newmont completed the sale of its 48.5% economic interest in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), which operated the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine (“Batu Hijau”) in Indonesia. As a result, Newmont presents Batu Hijau as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. In the following discussion and analysis, the operating statistics, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition that we present and discuss are those of our continuing operations unless otherwise indicated. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion in our Results of Consolidated Operations below.

We continue to focus on improving safety and efficiency at our operations, maintaining leading environmental, social and governance practices, and building a stronger portfolio of longer-life, lower cost mines to generate the financial flexibility we need to fund our best projects, reduce debt, and return cash to shareholders.

Consolidated Financial Results 

The details of our Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders are set forth below:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,				Increase
	2017		2016		(decrease)
Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders	$	192	$	14	$	178

Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders per common share, diluted	$	0.49	$	—	$	0.49

The increases in Net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, are primarily due to new production at Merian and Long Canyon and lower income and mining taxes, partially offset by lower production at Tanami and Yanacocha from lower mill grade. The six-month comparison was also impacted by an increase in gold production from the CC&V expansion completed in the first quarter of 2016,  adverse weather conditions impacting production at Tanami and Yanacocha during the first quarter of 2017 and a prior-year gain from the sale of the Company’s investment in Regis Resources Ltd. (“Regis”) in March 2016.

The details of our Costs applicable to sales are set forth below:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,				Increase		Percent
	2017		2016		(decrease)		Change
Gold	$	955	$	847	$	108	13	%

Copper		83		100		(17)	(17)
	$	1,932	$	1,753	$	179	10	%

The increases in Costs applicable to sales for gold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, are primarily due to new production at Merian and Long Canyon and higher costs per unit sold at Yanacocha from lower mill grade, partially offset by lower stockpile and leach pad adjustments. The six-month comparison was also impacted by an increase in gold production from the CC&V expansion completed in the first quarter of 2016 and adverse weather conditions impacting production at Tanami and Yanacocha during the first quarter of 2017.

The decreases in Costs applicable to sales for copper during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, are primarily due to a lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.

For discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

The increases in Depreciation and amortization for goldduring the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, are primarily due to new production at Merian and Long Canyon, partially offset by lower stockpile and leach pad adjustments and the impacts of a significant impairment charge taken in December 2016, reducing Property, plant and mine development, net balancesat Yanacocha. The six-month comparison was also impacted by an increase in gold production from the CC&V expansion completed in the first quarter of 2016 and adverse weather conditions impacting production at Tanami and Yanacocha during the first quarter of 2017.

The decreases in Depreciation and amortization for copper during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, are primarily due to a lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.

Reclamation and remediation increased by $23 and $32 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to updated reclamation liability assumptions at Yanacocha regarding water treatment costs on non-operating leach pads of $15 and higher reclamation accretion from an increase in Reclamation and remediationliabilities associated with revisions to Yanacocha’s long-term mining and closure plans in December 2016.

Exploration increased by $13 and $19 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to increased expenditures at various projects as we continue to focus on developing future reserves.

Advanced projects, research and development decreased by $12 and $13 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to the completion of Merian and the Chaquicocha exploration decline project in South America. 

Other income, net increased (decreased) by$30 and ($75) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. For the three-month comparison, the increase is primarily due to a gain of $15 from the exchange of the Company’s 31% interest in the Fort á la Corne joint venture for shares in Shore Gold Inc. (“Shore Gold”) in June 2017 and business interruption insurance proceeds of $13 recorded in June 2017 associated with the heavy rainfall at Tanami during the first quarter of 2017. The six-month comparison was also impacted by a prior-year gain of $103 from the sale of the Company’s investment in Regis in March 2016.

Interest expense, net decreased by $2 and $9 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to reduced debt balances from the extinguishment of the 2019 term loan in August 2016 and the partial repayment of the 2022 Senior Notes in November 2016, largely offset by lower capitalized interest from the completion of the Long Canyon and Merian projects. The six-month comparison was also impacted by reduced debt balances from the partial repayment of the 2019 and 2039 Senior Notes in March 2016.

Income and mining tax expense (benefit) decreased by $71 and $188 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. A reconciliation and comparison of the periods is shown below:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors as illustrated in the table above. The decreases in the effective tax rate are primarily due to lower charges to the Company’s valuation allowance on tax credits and increases in the benefit from percentage depletion as compared to the same periods in 2016, partially offset by increases in mining tax. The decreases in valuation allowance are due to a non-recurring restructuring implemented in the prior year for tax planning purposes and the carry back of taxable losses to a year with taxable income. The changes to mining tax and percentage depletion are a result of the differences in the jurisdictional mix of income.

The Company operates in numerous countries and accordingly it is subject to, and pays taxes under, the various 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 pay the income taxes determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, the Company is subject to an audit of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such audits, 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.

The Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) is conducting a limited review of the Company’s prior year tax returns. The ATO is focused on 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. The Company continues to monitor the status of the ATO’s review which it expects to continue throughout the remainder of this year.

There are a number of factors that can potentially impact the Company’s effective tax rate, including the geographic distribution of income, the non-recognition of tax assets, percentage depletion, changes in tax laws and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed February 21, 2017 on Form 10-K.

Due to the factors discussed above and the sensitivity of the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate to these factors, it is expected that the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, in future periods.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Holt royalty obligation increased the net loss from discontinued operations primarily due to an increase in gold price and a decrease in discount rate. The Holt royalty obligation also increased during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to an increase in expected production based on gold reserves and resources from Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd., which were updated in March 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Holt royalty obligation increased due to an increase in gold prices and decrease in discount rates.

For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For information regarding Batu Hijau’s 2016 production results, see the Discontinued operations section in Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests from continuing operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were losses of $26 and $14, respectively, compared to $16 and $28 in the same periods of 2016. The increases are primarily due to losses at Yanacocha, partially offset by new production at Merian.

Three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016

Consolidated gold production increased 14% due to higher ore grade mined and milled at Carlin, Twin Creeks and Phoenix, higher production at CC&V due to higher mill grade and higher tons placed and new production at Long Canyon in North America, new production at Merian in South America, higher production due to higher mill throughput at Boddington in Australia and higher throughput and a drawdown of in-circuit inventory at Akyem in Africa, partially offset by lower mill grade and leach tons processed at Yanacocha in South America and lower ore grades mined and milled at Tanami in Australia.

Consolidated copper production increased by 7% primarily due to higher mill throughput and higher ore grade mined and milled at Boddington partially offset by lower leach placement and recovery at Phoenix.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce was in line with prior year. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound decreased 27% primarily due to higher copper pounds sold, lower leaching costs as a result of lower commodity consumption, and a lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.

Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce decreased 1% primarily due to higher gold ounces sold, a lower asset balance at Yanacocha resulting from an impairment recorded in December 2016 and lower inventory adjustments. Depreciation and amortization per consolidated copper pound decreased 25% due to higher copper pounds sold, lower amortization rates and a lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.

All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold ounce decreased 3% primarily due to lower sustaining capital spend and higher ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per consolidated copper pound decreased 22% primarily due to lower costs applicable to sales per pound sold.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 2016

Consolidated gold production increased 11% due to higher ore grade mined and milled at Carlin, Twin Creeks and Phoenix, production at Long Canyon in 2017, increased heap leach production due to a full year of ore placement at the Valley Leach Fill 2 leach pad at CC&V in North America, production at Merian in South America in 2017, and higher mill grade, throughput and recovery at Akyem in Africa, partially offset by lower ore grade mined as well as milled, and lower mill throughput at Tanami. Throughput at Tanami was lower primarily due to the mill being placed into care and maintenance for the majority of February 2017 following record high rainfall that blocked transport routes, limiting

57

access to fuel and other resources.

Consolidated copper production increased by 5% primarily due to higher ore grade mined and milled at Boddington partially offset by lower ore placement on the leach pad at Phoenix.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce increased 1% primarily due to higher direct operating costs, partially offset by higher gold ounces sold. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound decreased 23% primarily due to higher copper pounds sold, lower heap leach costs as a result of lower commodity consumption, and a lower co-product allocation of costs to copper, partially offset by an unfavorable Australian dollar foreign currency exchange rate.

Depreciation and amortization per consolidated gold ounce decreased 2% primarily due to higher ounces sold and a lower asset balance at Yanacocha resulting from an impairment recorded in December 2016. Depreciation and amortization per consolidated copper pound decreased 19% due to higher copper pounds sold and a lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.

All-in sustaining costs per consolidated gold ounce decreased 1% primarily due to higher ounces sold. All-in sustaining costs per consolidated copper pound decreased 20% primarily due to lower costs applicable to sales per pound sold.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Foreign currency exchange rates can increase or decrease profits to the extent costs are paid in foreign currencies. Such fluctuations do not have a material impact on our revenue since gold and copper are sold throughout the world in U.S. dollars. Despite selling gold in London, we have no exposure to the euro or the British pound.

Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 35% and 30% of Costs applicable to sales for our foreign operations were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which approximately 30% was denominated in the Australian dollar in the current year. Approximately 33% and 28% of Costs applicable to sales for our foreign operations were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of which approximately 28% was denominated in the Australian dollar in the current year. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations had a minimal impact on Costs applicable to sales on aper ounce basis, net of hedging losses, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

We have a disciplined cash management strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and provide long-term value to 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.

At June 30, 2017, the Company had $3,105 in Cash and cash equivalents, of which $999 was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2017, $347 of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents was attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily related to our Peru and Suriname operations which is being held to fund those operations and development projects. At June 30, 2017, $928 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($588  attributable to Newmont) was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. The repatriation of this cash and the applicable withholding taxes would generate foreign tax credits in the U.S. As a result, we expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with the withholding taxes. We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations and flow-through foreign subsidiaries are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.

We believe our existing consolidated cash and cash equivalents, available capacity on our debt revolver, and cash generated from continuing operations will be adequate to satisfy working capital needs, fund future growth, meet debt obligations, pay dividends and meet other liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2017, no borrowings were outstanding under our debt revolver.

Liquidity Overview

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents increased from $2,756 to $3,105. The net cash inflow of $349 was primarily provided by operating cash flows from continuing operations of $908, partially offset by cash used for additions to property, plant and mine development of $363, purchases of investments of $113, dividends paid to common stockholders of $54 and net distributions to our noncontrolling partners at Merian of $34.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents decreased from $2,363 to $2,181. The net cash outflow of $182 was primarily used for $563 of additions to property, plant and mine development, $501 of debt repayments at Corporate, and $146 of dividends paid to noncontrolling partners at Yanacocha. These outflows were partially offset by operating cash flows from continuing operations of $825 in addition to proceeds received from the sale of Regis of $184 and net funding from our noncontrolling partners at Merian of $50.

In July 2017, our 2017 Convertible Senior Notes matured, resulting in a principal payment of $575.

	168	252	135	127	105	448

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. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $1,846 and $1,792, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing or development stage mineral properties, of which $37 and $28, respectively, was classified as current liabilities.

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 when the spending for an existing environmental disturbance will occur. We review, on at least an annual basis, the reclamation obligation at each mine.

Accounting for reclamation obligations requires management to make estimates unique to each mining operation

69

of the future costs we will incur to complete the reclamation work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. As mining operations progress over their mine life, we are able to more accurately predict the estimated future reclamation costs. Any such changes in future costs, the timing of reclamation activities, or scope could materially impact the amounts charged to earnings for reclamation. Additionally, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of reclamation work required.

The Company is conducting a comprehensive study of the Yanacocha long-term mining and closure plans consistent with the requirement to submit an updated closure plan to Peruvian regulators every five years. The revised closure plan will be submitted to Peruvian regulators in the second half of 2017. The revised closure plan may require the Company to provide additional reclamation bonding for Yanacocha.

For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our reclamation obligations and the associated risks, refer to Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” and refer to Risk Factors under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed February 21, 2017 on Form 10-K.

In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $283 and $298 were accrued for such obligations, respectively, of which $32 and $33 was classified as current liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we spent $21 and $10, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, capital expenditures were approximately $31 and $29, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations.

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 generally calculated using the Company’s statutory effective tax rate of 35%. 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:

⁽⁸⁾ The tax effect of adjustments, included in Income and mining tax benefit (expense),  represents the tax effect of adjustments in footnotes (2) through (7), as described above, and are calculated using the Company's statutory tax rate of 35%.

⁽⁹⁾ Valuation allowance and other tax adjustments, included in Income and mining tax benefit (expense),predominantly represent adjustments to remove the impact of our valuation allowances for items such as foreign tax credits, alternative minimum tax credits, capital losses and disallowed foreign losses. We believe that these valuation allowances cause significant fluctuations in our financial results that are not indicative of our underlying financial performance. The adjustments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are due to increases in tax credit carryovers subject to valuation allowance of $68 and $135, respectively, partially offset by other tax adjustments of $5 and $15, respectively. The adjustments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are due to a tax restructuring of $170 during the first quarter, a carryback of 2015 tax loss to prior years of $124 during the second quarter, increases to valuation allowance on tax credit carryovers of $2 and $62, respectively, and other tax adjustments of $11 and $17, respectively.

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 Condensed 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 Condensed 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.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound 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.

All-In Sustaining Costs

Newmont has worked to develop a metric that expands on GAAP measures, such as cost of goods sold, and non-GAAP measures, 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.

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, we believe that all-in sustaining costs is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and in the investor’s visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.

All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) amounts are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and in accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), or by reflecting the benefit from selling non-gold metals as a reduction to AISC. Differences may also arise related to definitional differences of sustaining versus development capital activities based upon each company’s internal policies.

The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining 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 Costs applicable to sales (“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 Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations less the amount

75

of CAS attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix and Boddington mines. The copper CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines is based upon the relative sales value of gold and copper produced during the period.

Reclamation costs. Includes accretion expense related to Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) for the Company’s operating properties. Accretion related to the ARO 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 copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.

Advanced projects, research and development and exploration. Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to increase or enhance 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. As this relates to sustaining our production, and is considered a continuing cost of a mining company, these costs are included in the AISC measure. These costs are derived from the Advanced projects, research and development and Exploration amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations less the amount attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix and Boddington mines. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.

General and administrative. Includes costs related to administrative tasks not directly related to current production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfill our obligations to operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce basis.

Other expense, net. Includes certain administrative costs to support current gold production. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses from Other expense, net, such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) 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 copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.

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 our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Sustaining capital. We determined 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 generally considered development. We determined the classification of sustaining and development capital projects based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital costs are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the Company’s current operations and provide improved transparency related to our ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix and Boddington mines.

ITEM 3.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).

Metal Prices

Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.

Decreases in the market price of gold and copper can also significantly affect the value of our product inventory, stockpiles and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value. 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 June 30, 2017 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,257 and $1,300 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term copper price of $2.57 and $3.00 per pound, respectively, and a short-term and long-term Australian to U.S. dollar exchange rate of $0.75 and $0.80, respectively.

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.

Hedging

Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We have and may continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market. 

By using hedges, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. 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 risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates or 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. 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.

83

Cash Flow Hedges

The foreign currency and diesel derivative contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market 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. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We had the following foreign currency derivative contracts in Australia outstanding at June 30, 2017:

	Expected Maturity Date
	2017		2018		Total/Average
A$ Operating Fixed Forward Contracts:
A$ notional (millions)	46		6		52
Average rate ($/A$)	0.93		0.92		0.93
Expected hedge ratio	7	%	4	%

The fair value of the A$ foreign currency derivative contracts was a net liability position of $8 at June 30, 2017 and $24 at December 31, 2016.

Diesel Price Risk

We had the following diesel derivative contracts in Nevada, within North America, outstanding at June 30, 2017:

	Expected Maturity Date
	2017		2018		Total/Average
Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts:
Diesel gallons (millions)	12		9		21
Average rate ($/gallon)	1.58		1.60		1.59
Expected hedge ratio	54	%	22	%

The fair value of the diesel derivative contracts was a net liability position of $3 at June 30, 2017 and $- at December 31, 2016.

Commodity Price Exposure

Our provisional gold and copper sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At June 30, 2017, Newmont had gold sales of 92,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,244 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $25 change in the price for provisionally priced gold sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London Bullion Market Association P.M. closing settlement price at June 30, 2017 for gold was $1,242 per ounce.

At June 30, 2017, Newmont had copper sales of 24 million pounds priced at an average of $2.68 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.10 change in the price for provisionally priced copper sales would have an approximate $2 effect on our Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at June 30, 2017 for copper was $2.68 per pound.

ITEM 4.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. 

During the fiscal period covered by this report, 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”)). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, 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.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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” 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 operation of our U.S. based mines 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 mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.

86

Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.

8

1.409A-3(i)(5) (a “409A CoC”), such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus shall be so paid when the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus would otherwise have been paid in accordance with Article IV), and b) the percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus equal to the percentage of the Extended Performance Period that did not elapse prior to the Change of Control shall be paid in the form of (A) restricted stock units covering a number of shares of Acquirer Stock equal to (x) the number of shares of Acquirer Stock received by a holder of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held by such holder in such transaction multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus, that will have a vesting period equal to the Extended Performance Period otherwise remaining as of the date of the Change of Control, or (B) if Acquirer Stock is not issued in connection with such transaction, a deferred compensation arrangement with a balance initially equal to the Change of Control Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such percentage of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus, that will have a vesting period equal to the Extended Performance Period otherwise remaining as of the date of the Change of Control and a value from time to time as if such initial balance were invested in such deemed investment as the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee as constituted before the Change of Control shall determine in its discretion.  The portion of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall vest upon any termination of employment of the eligible Employee with a Participating Employer prior to the expiration of the vesting period, with the exception of voluntary termination or termination for Cause, as defined in Newmont Mining’s Executive Change of Control Plan.  Such portion shall be paid in cash within 5 days following vesting; provided,  however, that if such Change of Control does not constitute a 409A CoC, such portion, to the extent vested in accordance with this sentence, shall be so paid when they would otherwise have been paid in accordance with Article IV.

7.11       No Right to Employment.  The establishment of this compensation program shall not be deemed to confer upon any eligible Employee any legal right to be employed by, or to be retained in the employ of, Newmont Mining, a Participating Employer or any Affiliated Entity, or to give any eligible Employee any right to receive any payment whatsoever, except as provided under this compensation program.  All eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge from employment to the same extent as if this compensation program had never been adopted.

SECTION IV-PERFORMANCE LEVERAGED STOCK BONUS

4.1Determination of Performance Leveraged Stock—In General.  The Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee determines the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus Payout Factor as described in Section 4.3 below.  Following such determination, payment of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus shall be made to eligible Employees as soon as reasonably practicable, in accordance with Section 4.5 below.

4.2Calculation of Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus.  The Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus equals the Target Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus times the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus Payout Factor. 

4.3Calculation of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus Payout Factor.  The Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus Payout Factor will be the sum of the Market Payout Factor and the TSR Payout Factor:

(a)“Market Payout Factor” means a percentage calculated as follows:  100 times the quotient of (i) the average closing price of Common Stock for the first 25 trading days on the New York Stock Exchange of the calendar year of the Extended Performance Period; divided by (ii) theaverage closing price of Common Stock for the last 25 trading days on the New York Stock Exchange of the Extended Performance Period, as adjusted for stock splits or similar reorganizations.  The maximum Market Payout Factor shall be 150%.

(b)“TSR Payout Factor” means a percentage calculated as follows:  two times the number of percentage points that the Relative Total Shareholder Return is above the 50th percentile, to a maximum of 50%.

4.4Separation of Employment and Payment of Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus. Unless otherwise stated in this Section 4.4, an eligible Employee shall not be entitled to payment of a Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus on or after any separation of employment, voluntary or involuntary.

4.5Form of Payment.  The amount of Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus payable under this compensation program shall be paid in Common Stock (payable in whole shares only rounded down to the nearest share). Upon the payment of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus in Common Stock, an eligible Employee shall also be entitled to a cash payment equal to any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock delivered for the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus for the Extended Performance Period, minus any applicable taxes. 

4.6Timing of Payment.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4 above, payment of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus will be made as soon as reasonably practicable during the calendar year following the Extended Performance Period to which such Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus relates.  Upon the payment of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus in Common Stock, an eligible Employee shall also be entitled to a cash payment equal to any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock delivered for the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus for the Extended Performance Period, minus any applicable taxes. 

4.7Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus for Newly Hired or Newly Promoted eligible Employees.  In the event an individual is hired as an eligible Employee, or promoted into an eligible Employee position, such eligible Employee may be eligible for payment of a pro-rated Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company or the Committee for Section 16 Officers, at each date of payment of a Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus after the date of hire or after the date of promotion.

Stock Bonus, that will have a vesting period equal to the Extended Performance Period otherwise remaining as of the date of the Change of Control and a value from time to time as if such initial balance were invested in such deemed investment as the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee as constituted before the Change of Control shall determine in its discretion.  The portion of the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall vest upon any termination of employment of the eligible Employee with a Participating Employer prior to the expiration of the vesting period, with the exception of voluntary termination or termination for Cause, as defined in Newmont Mining’s Executive Change of Control Plan.  Such portion shall be paid in cash within 5 days following vesting; provided,  however, that if such Change of Control does not constitute a 409A CoC, such portion, to the extent vested in accordance with this sentence, shall be so paid when they would otherwise have been paid in accordance with Article IV.

8

Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus was calculated based upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement, and b) the amount of such Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus that would have been awarded to the eligible Employee had the financial results been reported as in the restatement would have been lower than the Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus actually awarded.  Additionally, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, to the full extent permitted by governing law, shall have the discretion to require reimbursement of any portion of a Performance Leveraged Stock Bonus previously paid to an eligible Employee pursuant to the terms of this compensation program if the eligible employee is terminated for cause as defined in the applicable Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont.

9

time.  The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted hereunder, but no such amendment shall be inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this compensation program or materially impair the previously accrued rights of the eligible Employee to whom such award was granted with respect to such award without his or her consent, except such an amendment made to cause this program or such award to comply with applicable law, tax rules, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

6.10Severability.  If any section, subsection or specific provision is found to be illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this compensation program, and this compensation program shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been set forth in this compensation program.

6.11No Right to Employment.  The establishment of this compensation program shall not be deemed to confer upon any eligible Employee any legal right to be employed by, or to be retained in the employ of, Newmont Mining, a Participating Employer or any Affiliated Entity, or to give any eligible Employee any right to receive any payment whatsoever, except as provided under this compensation program.  All eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge from employment to the same extent as if this compensation program had never been adopted.

10

any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any eligible Employee or other person due to the receipt or payment of any award under this program.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

2013 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This Agreement ("Agreement"), dated February 27, 2017, is made between Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont") and “Executive,” as specified in his or her Grant Summary and Grant Acknowledgment (collectively, the “Grant Acknowledgment”).  The Grant Acknowledgment is set forth on the Computershare - Employee Online webpage.

The Grant Acknowledgment is incorporated by reference herein.  This Agreement shall be deemed executed by Executive upon his or her electronic execution of the Grant Acknowledgment.  All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning as defined in the Newmont Mining Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan ("Plan"). 

1. Award of Restricted Stock Units. Newmont hereby grants to Executive the right to receive from Newmont the number of shares of $1.60 par value Common Stock of Newmont (the "Restricted Stock Units" or “RSU’s”) (rounded down to the nearest whole share) specified in the Grant Acknowledgment, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan, including the Vesting Period, as such term is defined in this Agreement, and in connection with such award, Newmont and Executive hereby agree as follows: 

2. Vesting Period. The Vesting Period shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall end on the dates set forth below as to that percentage of the total shares of Common Stock subject to this Agreement set forth opposite each such date:

Date	Percentage Vested
February 27, 2018	33%
February 27, 2019	33%
February 27, 2020	34%

3.Termination of Employment for death, disability, and following change of control.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Executive dies, or (ii) Executive’s employment by Newmont or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of (a) disability (as determined under the terms of the Long-Term Disability Plan of Newmont), or (b) termination of employment entitling Executive to benefits under an Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont, in any such case prior to the completion of the Vesting Period, the Vesting Period shall terminate, and all RSUs not theretofore forfeited in accordance with this Agreement shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, as of the date of Executive’s death or other termination of employment, referred to in clause (ii) above.

Separation of Employment under a Severance Plan of Newmont or Retirement.1Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive ceases to be employed by Newmont and/or a Subsidiary prior to completion of the Vesting Period as a result of: a) a termination of employment entitling Executive to benefits under a severance plan of Newmont,  or; b) retirement under the Pension Plan of Newmont entitling Executive to an immediate pension (not including stable value retirement unless Executive has reached the age of 65 or retirement under the International Retirement Plan of Newmont (“IRP”) entitling Executive to 100% vesting in the IRP supplemental amount), the Vesting Period shall terminate for a pro-rata percentage of the shares granted, based upon the date of grant and separation date, in accordance with the following formula:

Shares vested =	Total Shares Covered by This Grant Agreement	X	Days Elapsed From Date of Grant to Date of Termination of Employment	-	Prior Vestings
			1095

If Executive ceases to be employed by Newmont and/or a Subsidiary prior to the completion of the Vesting Period under circumstances other than those set forth above, namely death, disability, termination qualifying for benefits under the Executive Change of Control Plan of Newmont applicable to Executive or separation qualifying for benefits under the Executive Severance Plan of Newmont or retirement as stated above, Executive agrees that any unvested RSUs will be immediately and unconditionally forfeited without any action required by Executive or Newmont, to the extent that the Vesting Period had not ended in accordance with Paragraph 2 as of the date of such cessation of employment.

4.No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Common Stock.  Executive shall not have any rights as a shareholder of Newmont with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs, including but not limited to the right to vote with respect to such shares of Common Stock, until and after the shares of Common Stock have been actually issued to Executive and transferred on the books and records of Newmont; provided, however, upon vesting of the RSUs pursuant to the Vesting Period, or Executive’s earlier termination of employment under circumstances entitling Executive to vest in the RSUs pursuant to Paragraph 3, Newmont shall make a cash payment to the Executive equal to any dividends paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying such RSUs from the date of this Agreement until the date such RSUs vest, minus any applicable taxes.

5.Withholding Taxes. Upon vesting pursuant to the Vesting Period, or Executive’s earlier termination of employment under circumstances entitling Executive to vest in the RSUs pursuant to Paragraph 3, Executive shall be entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock, less an amount of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of

1 Retirement under the Pension Plan of Newmont is more specifically defined as:

If a participant under:	You qualify if:
Final Average Pay	-  You are age 55 and have 10 years of service - You are age 62
Stable Value Plan	- Age 65

-  2  -

vesting (provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the maximum statutory tax rates in the Executive’s applicable tax jurisdictions) and Executive shall be entitled to receive the net number of shares of Common Stock after withholding of shares for taxes unless such tax obligations are satisfied in accordance with Paragraph 6.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such taxes are required by law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Stock Units prior to the end of the Vesting Period, Executive agrees that Newmont may withhold such amount for taxes through payroll services from other cash compensation payable to Executive from Newmont.

6.Delivery of Shares of Common Stock. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of vesting pursuant to the Vesting Period, or Executive's earlier termination of employment or other event entitling Executive to vest in the RSUs pursuant to Paragraph 3, subject to Section 9(i), Newmont shall cause to be delivered to Executive a stock certificate or electronically deliver shares through a direct registration system for the number of shares of Common Stock (net of tax withholding as provided in Paragraph 5) deliverable to Executive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,  however, that Newmont may allow Executive to elect to have shares of Common Stock, which are deliverable in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement upon vesting (or a portion of such shares at least sufficient to satisfy Executive’s tax withholding obligations with respect to such Common Stock), sold on behalf of Executive, with the cash proceeds thereof, net of tax withholding, remitted to Executive, in lieu of Executive receiving a stock certificate or electronic delivery of shares in a direct registration system.

7.Nontransferability. Executive's interest in the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, prior to such time as the shares of Common Stock have actually been issued and delivered to Executive.

8.Acknowledgements. Executive acknowledges receipt of and understands and agrees to the terms of the RSUs award and the Plan. In addition to the above terms, Executive understands and agrees to the following:

(a)      Executive hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including the terms and provisions adopted after the date of this Agreement but prior to the completion of the Vesting Period.  If and to the extent that any provision contained in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.

(b)      Executive acknowledges that as of the date of this Agreement, the Agreement, the Grant Acknowledgement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Executive and Newmont regarding the acquisition of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs in Newmont and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the RSUs.

(c)      Executive understands that his or her employer, Newmont and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about Executive, including but not limited to his or her name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, salary, nationality, job title and details of all RSUs or other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding ("personal data"). Certain personal

-  3  -

data may also constitute "sensitive personal data" within the meaning of applicable law.  Such data include but are not limited to the information provided above and any changes thereto and other appropriate personal and financial data about Executive. Executive hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont and any of its Subsidiaries to process any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data. Executive also hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data outside the country in which Executive is employed, including, but not limited to the United States. The legal persons for whom such personal data are intended include, but are not limited to Newmont and its agent, Computershare Investor Services. Executive has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by applying to Director of Compensation, Newmont Corporate. 

(d)      Executive understands that Newmont has reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, and that the award of RSUs under the Plan at one time does not in any way obligate Newmont or its Subsidiaries to grant additional RSUs in any future year or in any given amount.  Executive acknowledges and understands that the RSUs are awarded in connection with Executive's status as an employee of his or her employer and can in no event be interpreted or understood to mean that Newmont is Executive's employer or that there is an employment relationship between Executive and Newmont. Executive further acknowledges and understands that Executive's participation in the Plan is voluntary and that the RSUs and any future RSUs under the Plan are wholly discretionary in nature, the value of which do not form part of any normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, other than to the extent required by local law.

(e)      Executive acknowledges and understands that the future value of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Executive under the Plan is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and that no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the RSUs or termination of the Plan or the diminution in value of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and Executive irrevocably releases Newmont and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise.

(f)      Executive acknowledges that the vesting of the RSUs ceases upon the earlier of termination of employment or receipt of notice of termination of employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be explicitly provided herein, and the Executive irrevocably waives any right to the contrary under applicable law.

(g)      Executive acknowledges that the Executive’s acceptance of the RSUs, including the terms and conditions herein, is voluntary.

9.Miscellaneous

(a)      No Right to Continued Employment.  Neither the RSUs nor any terms contained in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive any expressed or implied right to be retained in the service of any Subsidiary for any period at all, nor restrict in any way the right of any such Subsidiary, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his or her employment at any time with or without cause.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that any right to receive delivery of shares of Common Stock is earned only by continuing as an employee of a Subsidiary at the will of such Subsidiary, or satisfaction of any other applicable

-  4  -

terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the Plan, and not through the act of being hired, being granted the RSUs or acquiring shares of Common Stock hereunder.

(b)      Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The award of the RSUs to Executive and the obligation of Newmont to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to (i) all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Newmont Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable.  Moreover, shares of Common Stock shall not be delivered hereunder if such delivery would be contrary to applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

(c)      Investment Representation.  If at the time of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, Executive shall execute, prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock to Executive by Newmont, an agreement (in such form as the Newmont Committee may specify) in which Executive represents and warrants that Executive is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under this Agreement for Executive's own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption Executive shall, prior to any offer for sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Newmont Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Newmont Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.

(d)      Definitions. All capitalized terms that are used in this Agreement that are not defined herein have the meanings defined in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall prevail. 

(e)      Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall, if to Newmont, be in accordance with the Plan, and, if to Executive, be in writing and delivered in person or by registered or certified mail or overnight courier, postage prepaid, addressed to Executive at his or her last known address as set forth in Newmont’s records.

(f)      Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement should be deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

(g)      Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(h)      Transferability of Agreement. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto, other than by operation of law.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, in the case of Executive, his or her estate,

-  5  -

heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, designated beneficiary and personal representatives. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent transfer of the RSUs in the event of Executive’s death in accordance with Section 14(b) of the Plan.

(i)      Specified Employee Delay.  If Newmont determines that settlement of RSUs hereunder (i) constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), (ii) is made to Executive by reason of his or her “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), and (iii) Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) at the time settlement would otherwise occur, transfers of Common Stock will be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the date of such separation from service or, if earlier, on Executive’s death.

(j)      Modification.  Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any provision hereof be waived, in any way except in writing signed by the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend this Agreement to the extent it determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder and any such amendment shall be binding on Executive.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to Executive’s Grant Acknowledgement (including without limitation, the Terms and Conditions section hereof), incorporated herein by reference, and electronically executed by Executive, Executive agrees to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement.

*Retirement under the Pension plan of Newmont means:

If a participant under:	You qualify if:
Final Average Pay	- You are age 55 and have 10 years of service - You are age 62
Stable Value Plan	- Age 65

All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning as defined in the Newmont Mining Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan ("Plan").

1.      Nontransferability. Employee's interest in the PSUs and any shares of Common Stock relating thereto may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, prior to such time as the shares of Common Stock have actually been issued and delivered to Employee.

2.      Acknowledgements. Employee acknowledges receipt of and understands and agrees to the terms of the PSU Terms Agreement and the Plan. In addition, Employee understands and agrees to the following:

(a)      Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the PSU Terms Agreement, the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions thereof, including any terms and provisions of the Plan adopted after the date of the PSU Terms Agreement but prior to the completion of the Performance Period.  If and to the extent that any provision contained in the PSU Terms Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the Plan shall govern.  If and to the extent that any provision of the Notice of Grant is inconsistent with the applicable compensation program, the applicable compensation program shall govern.

(b)      Employee acknowledges that as of the date of the PSU Terms Agreement, the PSU Terms Agreement, the Grant Acknowledgement and the Plan set forth the entire understanding between Employee and Newmont regarding the acquisition of shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs in Newmont and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements pertaining to the PSUs.

(c)      Employee understands that his or her employer, Newmont and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about Employee, including but not limited to his or her name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, social security number, salary, nationality, job title and details of all PSUs or other entitlement to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding ("personal data"). Certain personal data may also constitute "sensitive personal data" within the meaning of applicable law.  Such data include but are not limited to the information provided above and any changes thereto and other appropriate personal and financial data about Employee. Employee hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont and any of its Subsidiaries to process any such personal data and/or

-  2  -

sensitive personal data. Employee also hereby gives explicit consent to Newmont to transfer any such personal data and/or sensitive personal data outside the country in which Employee is employed, including, but not limited to the United States. The legal persons for whom such personal data are intended include, but are not limited to Newmont and its agent, Computershare Investor Services.  Employee has been informed of his or her right of access and correction to his or her personal data by applying to Director of Compensation, Newmont Corporate. 

(d)      Employee understands that Newmont has reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time, and that the grant of PSUs under the Plan at one time does not in any way obligate Newmont or its Subsidiaries to grant additional PSUs in any future year or in any given amount.  Employee acknowledges and understands that the PSUs are awarded in connection with Employee's status as an employee of his or her employer and can in no event be interpreted or understood to mean that Newmont is Employee's employer or that there is an employment relationship between Employee and Newmont. Employee further acknowledges and understands that Employee's participation in the Plan is voluntary and that the PSUs and any future PSUs under the Plan are wholly discretionary in nature, the value of which do not form part of any normal or expected compensation for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any termination, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, other than to the extent required by local law.

(e)      Employee acknowledges and understands that the future value of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Employee under the PSU Terms Agreement and the Plan is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and that no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the forfeiture of the PSUs or termination of the Plan or the diminution in value of any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and Employee irrevocably releases Newmont and its Subsidiaries from any such claim that may arise.

(f)      Employee acknowledges that the granting of Common Stock underlying the PSUs shall not occur upon the earlier of termination of employment or receipt of notice of termination of employment for any reason, except as stated in the PSU Terms Agreement, and the Employee irrevocably waives any right to the contrary under applicable law.

(g)      Employee acknowledges that the Employee’s acceptance of the PSUs, including the terms and conditions of the PSU Terms Agreement, is voluntary.

3.      Miscellaneous

(a)      No Right to Continued Employment.  Neither the PSUs nor any terms contained in the PSU Terms Agreement shall confer upon Employee any expressed or implied right to be retained in the service of any Subsidiary for any period at all, nor restrict in any way the right of any such Subsidiary, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate his or her employment at any time with or without cause.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that any right to receive delivery of shares of Common Stock is earned only by continuing as an employee of a Subsidiary at the will of such Subsidiary, or satisfaction of any other applicable terms and conditions contained in the PSU Terms Agreement and the Plan, and not through the act of being hired, being granted the PSUs or acquiring shares of Common Stock under the PSU Terms Agreement.

-  3  -

(b)      Compliance with Laws and Regulations.      The award of the PSUs to Employee and the obligation of Newmont to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be subject to (i) all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Newmont Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable.  Moreover, shares of Common Stock shall not be delivered hereunder if such delivery would be contrary to applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

(c)      Investment Representation.  If at the time of delivery of shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, Employee shall execute, prior to the delivery of any shares of Common Stock to Employee by Newmont, an agreement (in such form as the Newmont Committee may specify) in which Employee represents and warrants that Employee is purchasing or acquiring the shares acquired under the PSU Terms Agreement for Employee's own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption Employee shall, prior to any offer for sale of such shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Newmont Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Newmont Committee, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.

(d)      Severability. If any of the provisions of the PSU Terms Agreement should be deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

(e)      Governing Law. The PSU Terms Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(f)      Transferability of Agreement.  The PSU Terms Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by either party hereto, other than by operation of law.  The PSU Terms Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including, in the case of Employee, his or her estate, heirs, executors, legatees, administrators, designated beneficiary and personal representatives. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent transfer of the PSUs in the event of Employee’s death in accordance with Section 14(b) of the Plan.

(g)      Specified Employee Delay.  If Newmont determines that settlement of PSUs hereunder (i) constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), (ii) is made to Employee by reason of his or her “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), and (iii) Employee is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) at the time settlement would otherwise occur, transfers of Common Stock will be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the date of such separation from service or, if earlier, on Employee’s death.

-  4  -

(h)      Modification.  Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, the PSU Terms Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any provision hereof be waived, in any way except in writing signed by the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the PSU Terms Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may amend the PSU Terms Agreement to the extent it determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder and any such amendment shall be binding on Employee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to Employee’s Grant Acknowledgement (including without limitation, the Terms and Conditions section hereof), incorporated herein by reference, and electronically executed by Employee, Employee agrees to the terms and conditions of the PSU Terms Agreement.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety Disclosure

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, which require certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). The disclosures reflect our U.S. mining operations only as the requirements of the Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K do not apply to our mines operated outside the United States.

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the U.S. mining operator (e.g. our subsidiary, Newmont USA Limited) must abate the alleged violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until the alleged hazards are corrected. When MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the alleged violation, that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the mine as well as by the MSHA inspector(s) assigned.

The below table reflects citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The proposed assessments for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were taken from the MSHA data retrieval system as of July 5, 2017.

Additional information about the Act and MSHA references used in the table follows.

· Section 104(a) S&S Citations: Citations received from MSHA under section 104(a) of the Mine Act for violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard.

· Section 104(b) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated.

· Section 104(d) S&S Citations and Orders: Citations and orders issued by MSHA under section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory, significant and substantial health or safety standards.

· Section 110(b)(2) Violations: Flagrant violations issued by MSHA under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.

· Section 107(a) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an “imminent danger” (as defined by MSHA) existed.

(1) The definition of a mine under section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools, and minerals

preparation facilities. Unless otherwise indicated, any of these other items associated with a single mine have been aggregated in the totals for that mine. MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities such as preparation facilities. We are providing the information in the table by mine rather than MSHA identification number because that is how we manage and operate our mining business and we believe this presentation will be more useful to investors than providing information based on MSHA identification numbers.

(3) Represents the total dollar value of the proposed assessment from MSHA under the Mine Act pursuant to the citations and or orders preceding such dollar value in the corresponding row. No proposed assessments of the orders or citations listed above had yet been posted to the MSHA data retrieval system or made available to the Company by MSHA as of July 5, 2017. Proposed assessments aggregate to $5,716 for the quarter, with proposed assessments at Genesis of not yet assessed, at Leeville of not yet assessed, at Lone Tree of $4,876, at Pete Bajo of $420, at Phoenix of $420, and at South Area of not yet assessed.

(4) Formerly Vista.

Pattern or Potential Pattern of Violations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, none of the mines operated by us received written notice from MSHA of (a) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of mine health or safety hazards under section 104(e) of the Mine Act or (b) the potential to have such a pattern.

Pending Legal Actions. The following table reflects pending legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”), an independent adjudicative agency that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act, as of June 30, 2017, together with the number of legal actions instituted and the number of legal actions resolved as of June 30, 2017.

The number of legal actions noted above are reported on a per docket basis.

Legal actions pending before the Commission may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA or complaints of discrimination by miners under section 105 of the Mine Act. The following is a brief description of the types of legal actions that may be brought before the Commission.

· Contests of Citations and Orders: A contest proceeding may be filed with the Commission by operators, miners or miners’ representatives to challenge the issuance of a citation or order issued by MSHA.

· Contests of Proposed Penalties (Petitions for Assessment of Penalties): A contest of a proposed penalty is an administrative proceeding before the Commission challenging a civil penalty that MSHA has proposed for the alleged violation contained in a citation or order. The validity of the citation may also be challenged in this proceeding as well.

· Complaints for Compensation: A complaint for compensation may be filed with the Commission by miners entitled to compensation when a mine is closed by certain withdrawal orders issued by MSHA. The purpose of the proceeding is to determine the amount of compensation, if any, due miners idled by the orders.

· Complaints of Discharge, Discrimination or Interference: A discrimination proceeding is a case that involves a miner’s allegation that he or she has suffered a wrong by the operator because he or she engaged in some type of activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint.

· Applications for Temporary Relief: An application for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order or from any order issued under section 104 of the Mine Act.

· Appeals of Judges’ Decisions or Orders to the Commission: A filing with the Commission of a petition for discretionary review of a Judge’s decision or order by a person who has been adversely affected or aggrieved by such decision or order.

The following table reflects the types of legal actions pending before the Commission as of June 30, 2017.

NOTE 1     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on February 21, 2017 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency and “C$” refers to Canadian currency.

On November 2, 2016, Newmont completed the sale of its 48.5% economic interest in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), which operated the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine (“Batu Hijau”) in Indonesia (the “Batu Hijau Transaction”). As a result, Newmont presents Batu Hijau as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Accordingly, (i) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows have been reclassified to present Batu Hijau as a discontinued operation for all periods presented and (ii) the amounts presented in these notes relate only to our continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 3.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 prices for gold and copper. 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 and Deferred income tax assets 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.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Inventory

In July 2015, Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11 was issued related to inventory, simplifying the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and the adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Stock-based compensation

In March 2016, ASU No. 2016-09 was issued related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification of cash payments related to tax withholdings on behalf of employees on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017, and reclassified $(4) from Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations to Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Adoption of this guidance had no other impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Business Combinations

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-01 was issued clarifying the definition of a business and providing additional guidance for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis. Adoption of this guidance, effective April 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Goodwill

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-04 was issued, which removes step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance, effective April 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12 and No. 2016-20, respectively. The new guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively.

The Company has performed an assessment of the revised guidance and the impacts on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company has completed the review of all contracts and determined that the adoption of this guidance will primarily impact the timing of revenue recognition on certain concentrate contracts based on the Company’s determination of when control is transferred. Currently, revenue is recognized for these contracts based on varying contractual terms indicating when risk of loss and title have transferred to the buyer. Upon adoption, revenue related to concentrate sales will typically be recognized upon completion of loading the material for shipment to the customer and satisfaction of the Company’s significant performance obligations. The Company is finalizing the assessment and quantifying the impacts of changes on certain concentrate contracts.

The Company furthered its evaluation of variable consideration for concentrate sales related to the variable nature of the price and metal quantity. Based on our current analysis, the estimate of revenue recognized for concentrates will remain unchanged as sales will initially be recorded on a provisional basis based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement and the Company’s estimated metal quantities delivered based on weighing and assay data. The Company believes changes in the underlying weight and metal content are not significant to the sale as a whole and therefore do not preclude the recognition of revenue upon transfer of control.

Additionally, the Company completed its evaluation of the impacts of insurance and refining fee classification. Newmont has determined that insurance on the transportation of goods is not considered a separate performance obligation. Newmont has also determined that revenue will be recognized, net of treatment and refining charges when these payments are to customers. When these payments are to third parties, the charges will be recognized within Costs applicable to sales. This classification remains unchanged from current practice.

The Company will adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company currently anticipates adopting the guidance retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amended guidance recognized at January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, will be presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the new guidance, while prior period amounts will not be adjusted and continue to be reported under the guidance in effect for those periods. In the related disclosures, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, will be presented under prior guidance along with prior period amounts for comparative purposes.

Investments

In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 was issued related to financial instruments. The new guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain disclosure requirements for these investments. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects the updated guidance to result in a significant reclassification of unrealized gains and losses on equity investments from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Retained earnings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption.

Leases

In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued related to leases. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. The Company expects to begin assessment of the new guidance during the second half of 2017 with impact analysis performed in 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2019.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15 was issued related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

Intra-Entity Transfers

In October 2016, ASU No. 2016-16 was issued related to the intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This new guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and removal of the changes in restricted cash activity, which is currently recognized in Other within financing activities, on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Furthermore, the Company will be required to reconcile Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018, and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Employee Benefits

In March 2017, ASU No. 2017-07 was issued related to the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement cost. The new guidance requires the service cost component of net benefit costs be classified similar to other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees. Other components of net benefit costs are required to be classified separately from the service cost and outside income from operations. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance will result in the recognition of other components of net benefit costs within Other income, net rather than Costs and expenses and will no longer be included in costs that benefit the inventory/production process. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 4     SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has organized its operations into four geographic regions. The geographic regions include North America, South America, Australia and Africa and represent the Company’s operating segments. The results of these operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. As a result, these operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. Notwithstanding this structure, the Company internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis for each mining operation and has chosen to disclose this information on 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. Newmont’s business activities that are not considered operating segments are included in Corporate and Other. Although they are not required to be included in this footnote, they are provided for reconciliation purposes.

Segment results for the prior period have been retrospectively revised to reflect the following changes:

· On November 2, 2016, the Company sold the Batu Hijau mine that was previously included in Asia Pacific and presented Batu Hijau as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, see Note 3.  

· In the first quarter of 2017, the Company renamed its Asia Pacific reporting segment to Australia.

Unless otherwise noted, the Company presents only the reportable segments of our continuing operations in the tables below. The financial information relating to the Company’s segments is as follows:

							Advanced		Income (Loss)

RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION

RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION

RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION

NOTE 5     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 is conducting a comprehensive study of the current Yanacocha long-term mining and closure plans as part of the requirement to submit an updated closure plan to Peruvian regulators every five years. The revised closure plan will be submitted to Peruvian regulators in the second half of 2017. The revised closure plan may require the Company to provide additional reclamation bonding for Yanacocha.

The Company’s Reclamation and remediation expense consisted of:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016

Remediation accretion		2		1		3		2
		4		2		9		4
	$	44	$	21	$	74	$	42

Reclamation expense increased by $21 and $27 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to updated reclamation liability assumptions at Yanacocha regarding water treatment costs on non-operating leach pads and higher reclamation accretion from an increase in Reclamation and remediationliabilities associated with revisions to Yanacocha’s long-term mining and closure plans in December 2016.

The following are reconciliations of Reclamation and remediationliabilities: 

	2017		2016
Reclamation balance at January 1,	$	1,792	$	1,300
Additions, changes in estimates and other		15		2

Additions, changes in estimates and other		3		1
Payments and other		(21)		(10)
Accretion expense		3		2
Remediation balance at June 30,	$	283	$	311

The current portion of reclamation liabilities was $37 and $28 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. The current portion of remediation liabilities was $32 and $33 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,  $1,846 and $1,792, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to operating properties. In addition, the Company is 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. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,  $283 and $298, respectively, were accrued for such environmental remediation obligations.

Non-current restricted assets held for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations were $65 and $66 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Of the amounts at June 30, 2017,  $43 was related to the Midnite Mine in Washington State, $14 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa and $8 was related to the Con mine in Yellowknife, NWT, Canada. Of the amount at December 31, 2016,  $43 was related to the Midnite Mine, $14 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines and $9 was related to the Con mine.

Included in Investments at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, was $21 and $20, respectively, of non-current equity securities, which are legally pledged for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations related to the San Jose Reservoir in Yanacocha and for various locations in North America.

Refer to Note 24 for further discussion of reclamation and remediation matters.

NOTE 8     INCOME AND MINING TAXES

The Company’s Income and mining tax expense (benefit) differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:

Income and mining tax expense	50	%	$	167	99	%	$	238	52	%	$	277	104	%	$	465

A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, each quarter, the Company considers future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income and taxable income in prior carryback year(s), as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction to determine if the deferred tax assets are realizable. If it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will place or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if determined that it will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets.

The Company operates in numerous countries and accordingly it is subject to, and pays taxes under, the various 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 pay the income taxes determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, the Company is subject to an audit of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such audits, 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.

During the second quarter of 2016, one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries received a tax and interest assessment from the Canadian Revenue Authority for $54 relating to a pre-acquisition transaction of Fronteer Gold Inc. and subsidiaries. The taxing authority is disputing the tax attribute that was created as part of the pre-acquisition transaction claimed on Fronteer’s tax return. Due to procedural requirements, the Company paid half of the assessment in the third quarter. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position through all processes available.

As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, none of which are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $10 to $15 in the next 12 months.

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

NOTE 10    INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income (loss) 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 (loss) per common share is computed similarly, except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee stock awards and convertible debt instruments. The dilutive effects of Newmont’s dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in income per share are included in the calculation.

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

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 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3Prices 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 basis (at least annually) 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⁾ Debt, exclusive of capital leases, is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $4,608 and $4,599 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair value measurement of debt was based on an independent third party pricing source.

The fair values of the derivative instruments in the table above are presented on a net basis. The gross amounts related to the fair value of the derivatives instruments above are included in Note 14. All other fair value disclosures in the above table are presented on a gross basis.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalent instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash and cash equivalent instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company’s restricted assets, which include cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. Restricted assets that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The securities are segregated based on industry. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, subject to final pricing, is valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves and, as such, is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated value of the Batu Hijau contingent consideration was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future copper prices using the Company’s long-term copper price, and (iii) estimated production and/or development dates for Batu Hijau Phase 7 and the Elang projects in Indonesia. The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, forward curves, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. 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.

The estimated value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold and copper prices, using the Company’s long-term gold and copper prices, and (iii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate costs applicable to sales using the Company’s Australian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. This contingent royalty is capped at $100, of which $84 has been paid to date. The contingent royalty is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Holt royalty obligation was determined using (i) a discounted cash flow model, (ii) a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices using the Company’s long-term gold price, (iii) various gold production scenarios from reserve and resource information and (iv) a weighted average discount rate. The royalty obligation is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s marketable debt securities included investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The Company reviewed the fair value of the auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper on a quarterly basis prior to the investments being redeemed in November 2016 and January 2017, respectively. The marketable debt securities were traded in markets that were not active, traded infrequently and had little price transparency. Therefore, the investments were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables set forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 14    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company has and will continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.

Cash Flow Hedges

The following foreign currency and diesel contracts were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of unrealized changes in market 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. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company had the following foreign currency derivative contracts in Australia outstanding at June 30, 2017:

	Expected Maturity Date
	2017		2018		Total/Average
A$ Operating Fixed Forward Contracts:
A$ notional (millions)	46		6		52
Average rate ($/A$)	0.93		0.92		0.93
Expected hedge ratio	7	%	4	%

Newmont utilizes foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the U.S. dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. The A$ hedges run through the first quarter of 2018.

Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts

The Company had the following diesel derivative contracts in Nevada, within North America, outstanding at June 30, 2017:  

	Expected Maturity Date
	2017		2018		Total/Average
Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts:
Diesel gallons (millions)	12		9		21
Average rate ($/gallon)	1.58		1.60		1.59
Expected hedge ratio	54	%	22	%

Newmont hedges a portion of its operating cost exposure related to diesel consumed at its Nevada operations to reduce the variability in diesel prices. The hedging instruments consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts, which run through the fourth quarter of 2018.

Derivative Instrument Fair Values

The Company had the following derivative instruments designated as hedges at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:  

	Fair Values of Derivative Instruments

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all hedging instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements held by various financial institutions. In general, the terms of the Company’s agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between it and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency. The Company’s agreements also provide that in the event of an early termination, the counterparties have the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying balance sheets. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the potential effect of netting derivative assets against liabilities due to the master netting agreement was not significant.

The following tables show the location and amount of gains (losses) reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements related to the Company’s hedges.

	Foreign Currency				Diesel Fixed				Interest
	Exchange Contracts				Forward Contracts				Rate Contracts
	2017		2016		2017		2016		2017		2016

⁽¹⁾ The gain (loss) recognized for the effective portion of cash flow hedges is included in Costs applicable to sales and Interest expense,  net.  

⁽²⁾ The ineffective portion recognized for cash flow hedges is included in Other income, net.

Based on fair values at June 30, 2017, the amount to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, to income for derivative instruments during the next 12 months is a loss of approximately $16.

Batu Hijau Contingent Consideration

Consideration received by the Company in conjunction with the sale of PTNNT included the Contingent Payment and the Elang Development deferred payment deeds, which were determined to be financial instruments that met the definition of a derivative, but do not qualify for hedge accounting, under ASC 815. See Note 13 for additional information. Contingent consideration of $13 was included in Other non-current assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. There was no change in the value of the contingent consideration during the three or six months ended June 30, 2017.

Provisional Gold and Copper Sales

The Company’s provisional gold and copper concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

At June 30, 2017, Newmont had gold and copper sales of 92,000 ounces and 24 million pounds priced at an average of $1,244 per ounce and $2.68 per pound, respectively, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

In June 2017, Newmont exchanged its 31% interest in the Fort á la Corne joint venture in consideration for 54 million common shares and 1 million common share warrants in Shore Gold, valued at $15. Following the transaction, Newmont held a 19.9% equity ownership in Shore Gold. This investment has been classified as current.

In May 2017, Newmont purchased 37 million common shares of Continental Gold Inc. (“Continental”) at C$4.00 per share. Continental is developing the high-grade Buriticá gold project in Colombia. Total consideration paid by Newmont was $109 for a 19.9% equity ownership in Continental.

In April 2017, Newmont purchased 13 million units (one common share and one warrant per unit) of Goldstrike Resources Ltd. (“Goldstrike”) at a price of C$0.47 per share for $4. The investment secures rights to explore and develop the Plateau property located in a highly prospective mineralized trend in Canada’s Yukon Territory with Goldstrike, with the ability to earn additional ownership in the project through exploration investment. This investment has been classified as non-current.

In January 2017, the Company’s remaining asset backed commercial paper was called at par resulting in no realized gain or loss.

There were no investment impairments for other-than-temporary declines in value or significant changes in fair value on those available-for-sale securities previously impaired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized no investment impairments for other-than-temporary declines in value. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, there was a $17 increase in the fair value of available-for-sale securities previously impaired, primarily due to an $11 increase in Gabriel Resources Ltd. and a $3 increase in Pilot Gold. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there was a $60 decrease in the fair value of available-for-sale securities previously impaired, primarily due to an $83 decrease in Regis, which was sold in March 2016.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded write-downs of $46 and $86, respectively, classified as components of Costs applicable to sales, and write-downs of $18 and $31, respectively, classified as components of Depreciation and amortization to reduce the carrying value of stockpiles and ore on leach pads to net realizable value. Adjustments to net realizable value are primarily a result of stripping campaigns driving lower grade and lower recovery resulting in higher costs per unit in North America, higher future processing costs from leach pads in South America and lower grades in Africa. Of the write-downs during the three months ended June 30, 2017, $11 is related to Carlin, $13 to Twin Creeks,  $32 to Yanacocha and $8 to Akyem. Of the write-downs during the six months ended June 30, 2017,  $34 is related to Carlin, $16 to Twin Creeks,  $41 to Yanacocha, $18 to Ahafo and $8 to Akyem.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded write-downs of $57 and $107, respectively, classified as components of Costs applicable to sales, and write-downs of $26 and $50, respectively, classified as components of Depreciation and amortization to reduce the carrying value of stockpiles and ore on leach pads to net realizable value. Adjustments to net realizable value are a result of higher future processing costs in addition to stripping campaigns driving lower grade and lower recovery resulting in higher costs per unit. Of the write-downs during the three months ended June 30, 2016, $31 was related to Carlin, $10 to Twin Creeks and $42 to Yanacocha. Of the write-downs during the six months ended June 30, 2016, $58 was related to Carlin, $12 to Twin Creeks and $87 to Yanacocha.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 24    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Operating Segments

The Company’s operating and reportable segments are identified in Note 4. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Fronteer matters relate to the North America reportable segment.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various 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 so as to protect the public health and 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.

In early 2015, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, the Ministry of the Environment (“MINAM”), issued proposed water quality criteria for designated beneficial uses which apply to mining companies, including Yanacocha. These criteria would modify 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 and the Company had one year from February 15, 2016, to submit a modification to the previously approved Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On February 15, 2017, Yanacocha submitted its proposed modification to the EIA. After approval, MINAM may provide up to 3 years to develop and implement the modifications to the water management system. In the event Yanacocha is unsuccessful in implementing the modifications, MINAM could impose fines and penalties relating to potential intermittent non-compliant exceedances.

The Company is conducting a comprehensive study of the current Yanacocha long-term mining and closure plans as part of the requirement to submit an updated closure plan to Peruvian regulators every five years. The revised closure plan will be submitted to Peruvian regulators in the second half of 2017. The revised closure plan may require the Company to provide additional reclamation bonding for Yanacocha.

For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our reclamation obligations and the associated risks, refer to Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” and refer to Risk Factors under the heading “Mine closure, reclamation and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made” for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed February 21, 2017 on Form 10-K.

Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2017  and December 31, 2016,  $1,846 and $1,792, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $37 and $28 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities.  

In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $283 and $298 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. 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 43% greater or 1% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2017. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.

Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain of the more significant matters are discussed below.

Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned

Ross-Adams mine site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont agreed to perform the EE/CA, which has been provided to the USFS. During the first quarter of 2016, the USFS confirmed approval of the EE/CA, and Newmont issued written notice to the USFS certifying that all requirements of the Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (“ASAOC”) between the USFS and Newmont have been completed. The ASAOC will be final upon USFS concurrence with the notice of completion and Newmont payment of USFS response costs. Newmont anticipates that the USFS will issue an Action Memorandum to select the preferred Removal Action alternative identified in the EE/CA. During the third quarter of 2016, Newmont received a notice of completion of work per the ASAOC from the USFS. Newmont is continuing discussions with the USFS on the process to move forward and issue an Action Memorandum and support the development of a Consent Decree. No assurances can be made at this time with respect to the outcome of such negotiations and Newmont cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 51% 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“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 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 other EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site.

During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site in a lump sum payment of $42, which Newmont classified as restricted assets, included in Other noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process (with the exception of the design of the water treatment plant which is on hold pending final permitting) and subsequently procured a contractor and initiated implementation of the remedial action.

The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health and is in the process of being closed. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The earthworks component of the closure is anticipated to be completed in 2017. The remaining closure activity will consist primarily of addressing groundwater issues.

The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $192 at June 30, 2017.

Other Legal Matters

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 51.35% Newmont Owned

Choropampa. In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 23 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered into between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. All appeals were referred to the Civil Court of Cajamarca, which affirmed the decisions of the lower court judge. The plaintiffs have filed appeals of such orders before the Supreme Court. Some of these appeals were dismissed by the Supreme Court in favor of Yanacocha and others are pending resolution. Yanacocha will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

Administrative Actions. The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts periodic reviews of the Yanacocha site. In 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, the first quarter of 2017 and June 2017, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. OEFA has resolved some alleged violations with minimal or no findings. In the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2016, the water authority of Cajamarca issued notices of alleged regulatory violations and resolved some allegations in early 2017 with no findings. The experience with the OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the outcome rather than a significant fine. The alleged OEFA violations currently range from zero to 50,430 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 30,000 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $0.00122 based on current exchange rates ($0 to $98). Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.

Conga Project Constitutional Claim. On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of the Conga project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga project Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: (i) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; (ii) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; (iii) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment; and (iv) the directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha has answered the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.

Yanacocha Tax Dispute. In 2000, Yanacocha paid Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. a total of $29 to assume their respective contractual positions in mining concession agreements with Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.M.R.L. The contractual rights allowed Yanacocha the opportunity to conduct exploration on the concessions, but not a purchase of the concessions. The tax authority alleges that the payments to Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. were acquisitions of mining concessions requiring the amortization of the amounts under the Peru Mining Law over the life of the mine. Yanacocha expensed the amounts at issue in the initial year since the payments were not for the acquisition of a concession but rather these expenses represent the payment of an intangible and therefore, amortizable in a single year or proportionally for up to ten years according to Income Tax Law. In 2010, the tax court in Peru ruled in favor of Yanacocha and the tax authority appealed the issue to the judiciary. The first appellate court confirmed the ruling of the tax court in favor of Yanacocha. However, in November, 2015, a Superior Court in Peru made an appellate decision overturning the two prior findings in favor of Yanacocha. Yanacocha has appealed the Superior Court ruling to the Peru Supreme Court. The potential liability in this matter is in the form of fines and interest in an amount up to $75. While the Company has assessed that the likelihood of a ruling against Yanacocha in the Supreme Court as remote, it is not possible to fully predict the outcome of this litigation.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.

On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.

On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1.2 billion. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Investigations

We occasionally identify or are apprised of information or allegations that certain employees, affiliates, agents or associated persons may have engaged in unlawful conduct for which we might be held responsible. We recently conducted an investigation, with the assistance of outside counsel, relating to certain business activities of the Company and its affiliates and contractors in countries outside the U.S. The investigation included a review of compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable laws and regulations. The Company worked with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice with respect to the investigation. In March 2016, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with the U.S. SEC tolling the statute of limitations relating to the investigation, and in April 2016, entered into a similar agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Both of the initial tolling agreements were effective through October 29, 2016. In September 2016, the Company agreed to extend its tolling agreement with the Department of Justice through April 2017, and agreed to a similar extension with the SEC in October 2016.

In late February 2017, the Company received a declination letter from the SEC relating to this investigation indicating that they do not intend to recommend an enforcement action. In June 2017, the Company received a similar letter from the U.S. Department of Justice acknowledging the Company’s cooperation in the investigation and indicating that the Department of Justice had closed its inquiry into the matter.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Royalty payments payable, net of recoverable amounts, are $30 in 2017,  $30 in 2018,  $31 in 2019,  $33 in 2020,  $34 in 2021 and $35 thereafter.

On June 25, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (“AngloGold”). Consideration for the acquisition consisted of $982 and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue less Costs applicable to sales on a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable quarterly beginning in the second quarter of 2010 on one-third of gold sales from Boddington. At the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration at $62. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of the unpaid contingent consideration was approximately $13 and $14, respectively. Changes to the estimated fair value resulting from periodic revaluations are recorded to Other expense, net. This contingent royalty is capped at $100 in aggregate payments, of which $84 has been paid to date. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid $6 and $-, respectively. The range of remaining undiscounted amounts the Company could pay is between $0 and $16 and the Company expects to pay $5 in the next 12 months.

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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were $2,270 and $2,227, 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for gold and copper. 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 and Deferred income tax assets 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.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Inventory

In July 2015, Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11 was issued related to inventory, simplifying the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company records inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and the adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Stock-based compensation

In March 2016, ASU No. 2016-09 was issued related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification of cash payments related to tax withholdings on behalf of employees on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017, and reclassified $(4) from Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of continuing operations to Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Adoption of this guidance had no other impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Business Combinations

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-01 was issued clarifying the definition of a business and providing additional guidance for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis. Adoption of this guidance, effective April 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Goodwill

In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-04 was issued, which removes step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance, effective April 1, 2017, had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. This ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 by ASU No. 2015-14, No. 2016-08, No. 2016-10, No. 2016-12 and No. 2016-20, respectively. The new guidance provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively.

The Company has performed an assessment of the revised guidance and the impacts on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company has completed the review of all contracts and determined that the adoption of this guidance will primarily impact the timing of revenue recognition on certain concentrate contracts based on the Company’s determination of when control is transferred. Currently, revenue is recognized for these contracts based on varying contractual terms indicating when risk of loss and title have transferred to the buyer. Upon adoption, revenue related to concentrate sales will typically be recognized upon completion of loading the material for shipment to the customer and satisfaction of the Company’s significant performance obligations. The Company is finalizing the assessment and quantifying the impacts of changes on certain concentrate contracts.

The Company furthered its evaluation of variable consideration for concentrate sales related to the variable nature of the price and metal quantity. Based on our current analysis, the estimate of revenue recognized for concentrates will remain unchanged as sales will initially be recorded on a provisional basis based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement and the Company’s estimated metal quantities delivered based on weighing and assay data. The Company believes changes in the underlying weight and metal content are not significant to the sale as a whole and therefore do not preclude the recognition of revenue upon transfer of control.

Additionally, the Company completed its evaluation of the impacts of insurance and refining fee classification. Newmont has determined that insurance on the transportation of goods is not considered a separate performance obligation. Newmont has also determined that revenue will be recognized, net of treatment and refining charges when these payments are to customers. When these payments are to third parties, the charges will be recognized within Costs applicable to sales. This classification remains unchanged from current practice.

The Company will adopt the new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The guidance may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company currently anticipates adopting the guidance retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amended guidance recognized at January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, will be presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the new guidance, while prior period amounts will not be adjusted and continue to be reported under the guidance in effect for those periods. In the related disclosures, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, will be presented under prior guidance along with prior period amounts for comparative purposes.

Investments

In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 was issued related to financial instruments. The new guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. This new guidance also updates certain disclosure requirements for these investments. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects the updated guidance to result in a significant reclassification of unrealized gains and losses on equity investments from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Retained earnings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon adoption.

Leases

In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02 was issued related to leases. The new guidance modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from most leases on the balance sheet. The Company expects to begin assessment of the new guidance during the second half of 2017 with impact analysis performed in 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2019.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, ASU No. 2016-15 was issued related to the statement of cash flows. This new guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

Intra-Entity Transfers

In October 2016, ASU No. 2016-16 was issued related to the intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This new guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance effective January 1, 2018.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of the restricted cash balances within the overall cash balance and removal of the changes in restricted cash activity, which is currently recognized in Other within financing activities, on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Furthermore, the Company will be required to reconcile Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018, and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Employee Benefits

In March 2017, ASU No. 2017-07 was issued related to the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement cost. The new guidance requires the service cost component of net benefit costs be classified similar to other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees. Other components of net benefit costs are required to be classified separately from the service cost and outside income from operations. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company anticipates adopting this new guidance effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance will result in the recognition of other components of net benefit costs within Other income, net rather than Costs and expenses and will no longer be included in costs that benefit the inventory/production process. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.
