2012 Operating Results and 2013 Outlook
In 2012, the Company reported attributable gold and copper production of 5.0
million ounces and 143 million pounds, respectively, at CAS of $677 per ounce,
and $2.34 per pound, respectively, on a co-product basis. Attributable 2012
gold production decreased 4% from 2011 levels due to lower production from
Asia Pacific as a result of continued Phase 6 waste mining at Batu Hijau,
lower grade and ore availability at Tanami, and mine sequencing at Waihi; and
lower production from Africa due to lower mill throughput and grade; partially
offset by higher production from South America due to higher mill grade and
recovery partially offset by lower leach placement; and higher production from
North America due to higher throughput at Mill 6, Juniper Mill, and Twin
Creeks Autoclave and the startup of the Emigrant mine.
CAS per gold ounce increased 15% in 2012 compared to 2011 due to lower
production from Batu Hijau, Tanami, and Waihi, higher royalty and waste mining
costs, partially offset by lower co-product allocation of costs to gold.
Attributable copper pounds produced decreased 27% due to continued Phase 6
waste mining at Batu Hijau, partially offset by higher throughput at
Boddington.
CAS per copper pound increased 86% due to lower production from Batu Hijau,
higher waste mining at Batu Hijau, higher mill maintenance costs at
Boddington, and higher co-product allocation of costs to copper.
2013 attributable gold production is expected to be approximately 4.8 million
to 5.1 million ounces, with attributable copper production of 150 to 170
million pounds. The outlook reflects a continuation of lower expected
production at Batu Hijau as it continues to process lower grade stockpiled ore
during Phase 6 stripping and lower production at Yanacocha, partially offset
by new production at Akyem expected in late 2013. CAS for gold is expected to
be between $675 and $750 per ounce due to lower production at Batu Hijau and
Yanacocha combined with higher expected costs for energy, labor and contracted
services. All-in sustaining cost (sum of CAS, copper by-product credits, G&A,
exploration expense, advanced projects and R&D, other expense, and sustaining
capital) is expected to be between $1,100 and $1,200 per ounce. CAS for copper
is expected to be between $2.25 and $2.50 per pound due to lower production at
Batu Hijau.
2012 Regional Operating Results and 2013 Outlook
North America
Nevada - Attributable gold production was 478,000 and 1.7 million ounces in
the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. CAS was $580 and $638 per ounce,
for the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
Fourth quarter attributable gold production decreased 8% from the prior year
quarter due to lower tons and grades from Leeville. CAS per ounce increased
12% from the prior year quarter due to lower volumes.
2012 attributable gold ounces produced increased slightly due to higher
throughput at Mill 6, Juniper Mill, and the Twin Creeks Autoclave as well as
new production from Emigrant, partially offset by lower grade at Phoenix and
lower throughput and grade at Midas. CAS per ounce increased 6% due to higher
commodity and contractor costs and higher royalties.
La Herradura - Attributable gold production was 48,000 and 212,000 ounces in
the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. CAS was $759 and $621 per ounce in
the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
Fourth quarter attributable gold production decreased 14% from the prior year
quarter due to the timing of leach recoveries, a refinery adjustment, and
lower grade ore. CAS per ounce increased 25% from the prior year quarter due
to higher waste tons mined and lower by-product credits.
2012 attributable gold production remained essentially unchanged due to new
production at Noche Buena; offset by lower leach recoveries. CAS per ounce
increased 18% due to higher waste tons mined, higher commodity prices and
lower by-product credits.
2013 attributable gold production in North America is expected to be
approximately 2.0 to 2.1 million ounces at CAS of approximately $600 to $650
per ounce.
South America
Yanacocha - Attributable gold production was 121,000 and 691,000 ounces in the
fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. CAS was $617 and $505 per ounce in the
fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
Fourth quarter attributable gold production decreased 30% from the prior year
quarter due to lower mill grade and lower leach placement earlier in the year.
Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 21% from the prior year quarter
due to the lower production.
2012 attributable gold ounces produced increased 4% due to higher mill grade
and recovery, partially offset by lower leach placement at Yanacocha,
Carachugo and La Quinua. Leach tons placed decreased 23% from 43 million tons
to 33 million tons. CAS per ounce decreased 10% due to higher production and
lower mining costs.
La Zanja - Attributable gold production was 13,000 and 53,000 ounces in the
fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. 2012 attributable gold ounces produced
decreased 17% from the prior year due to a full year of production from our
non-consolidated interest in La Zanja.
2013 attributable gold production in South America is expected to be
approximately 550,000-600,000 ounces attributable to Newmont due to a
reduction in the mining rate in 2013 and 2014 to maintain a more stable
operations workforce and lower grade. CAS is expected to be approximately $600
to $650 per ounce, primarily due to lower production.
Asia Pacific
Boddington - Attributable gold production was 216,000 and 724,000 ounces in
the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. Attributable copper production was
19 million pounds and 67 million pounds in the fourth quarter and 2012,
respectively. CAS was $856 and $877 per ounce and $2.23 and $2.29 per pound in
the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
Fourth quarter attributable gold and copper production increased 7% and
decreased 10%, respectively, from the prior year quarter due to higher gold
grade and with lower copper recovery. CAS increased 14% per ounce and 21% per
pound, respectively, due to a higher strip ratio, higher mill maintenance
costs, and the impact of the Australian carbon tax, which took effect in July
2012.
2012 attributable gold and copper production decreased 1% and increased 3%,
respectively, essentially in line with 2011. CAS increased 29% per ounce and
13% per pound, respectively, due to a higher strip ratio, higher mill
maintenance costs, and the impact of the carbon tax in Australia.
2013 attributable gold and copper production at Boddington is expected to be
approximately 700,000-750,000 ounces and 70-80 million pounds, respectively,
at CAS of approximately $850 to $950 per ounce and $2.45 to $2.65 per pound,
respectively on a co-product basis. 2013 production is expected to be in-line
with 2012 levels, while higher operating costs are expected to result from
higher mining and labor costs, as well as higher costs for contracted services
and supplies.
Batu Hijau - Attributable gold production was 7,000 and 33,000 ounces in the
fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. Attributable copper production was 16
million and 76 million pounds in the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
CAS was $1,292 and $1,071 per ounce and $2.77 and $2.36 per pound on a
co-product basis in the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
Fourth quarter attributable gold and copper production decreased 56% and 33%,
respectively, from the prior year quarter due to lower grade and recovery as a
result of processing lower grade stockpiled material. CAS increased 71% per
ounce and 85% per pound, respectively, due to lower production, offset by
lower royalties.
2012 attributable gold and copper production decreased 78% and 42%,
respectively, due to lower grade and recovery as a result of processing
primarily lower grade stockpiled material. Waste tons mined increased 26% as
Phase 6 waste removal continued as planned. The Company expects to process
primarily stockpiled ore until Phase 6 ore becomes the primary mill feed in
2014. CAS increased 125% per ounce and 113% per pound, respectively due to
lower production, partially offset by lower royalties.
2013 attributable gold production for Batu Hijau is expected to be
approximately 20,000 to 30,000 ounces, at CAS of between $900 and $1,000 per
ounce, while attributable copper production is expected to be approximately 75
to 90 million pounds, at CAS of between $2.20 and $2.40 per pound. As
previously disclosed[4], Newmont expects to continue processing stockpiled ore
until Phase 6 ore becomes the primary mill feed commencing in 2014.
Other Australia/New Zealand - Attributable gold production was 245,000 and
955,000 ounces in the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. CAS was $961 and
$879 per ounce in the fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
Fourth quarter attributable gold production increased 7% from the prior year
quarter due to higher throughput at Jundee, higher grade at Waihi and higher
throughput and grade at Tanami. CAS per ounce increased 19% from the prior
year quarter due to higher mining and mill maintenance costs at KCGM and the
impact of the carbon tax in Australia.
2012 attributable gold production decreased 8% due to lower throughput at
Tanami and Waihi, and lower throughput, grade, and recovery at KCGM. CAS per
ounce increased 32% due to lower production and higher mining costs.
2013 attributable gold production for Other Australia/New Zealand is expected
to be approximately 925,000 to 975,000 ounces, primarily due to slightly
higher production at Tanami and Waihi. CAS for Other Australia/New Zealand is
expected to increase to approximately $950 to $1,050 per ounce in 2013,
primarily driven by higher labor costs.
Beginning in 2013, our Asia Pacific region will be split into two regions,
Australia/New Zealand, and Indonesia. The Australia/New Zealand region will
include Boddington and Other Australia/New Zealand while the Indonesia region
will include Batu Hijau. Gold production for Australia/New Zealand is expected
to be approximately 1.6 to 1.7 million ounces attributable to Newmont in 2013
at CAS per ounce of $900 to $1,000.
Africa
Ahafo - Attributable gold production was 123,000 and 561,000 ounces during the
fourth quarter and 2012, respectively. CAS was $694 and $596 per ounce for the
fourth quarter and 2012, respectively.
Fourth quarter attributable gold production increased 40% from the prior year
quarter due to drawdown on in-process inventory compared to build up of prior
year quarter, higher grade and recovery. CAS per ounce increased 33% from the
prior year quarter due to lower in-process inventory buildup and higher
drawdown of finished goods inventory at higher average cost as well as higher
power and labor cost.
2012 attributable gold production decreased 1% due to lower throughput and
grade, largely offset by higher drawdown of in-circuit inventory. CAS per
ounce increased 26% due to higher labor, commodity, and royalty costs.
2013 attributable gold production for the Africa operations is expected to
increase to approximately 625,000 to 675,000 ounces due to the new production
from Akyem in late 2013 at CAS of approximately $525 to $575 per ounce.
Capital Update
Consolidated capital expenditures were $3.2 billion in 2012, up from $3.0
billion in 2011. Attributable capital expenditures were $2.5 billion in 2012,
up from $2.3 billion in 2011. Approximately $1.0 billion was spent on major
projects in 2012, such as Akyem in Ghana, and equipment, engineering of
reservoirs, and demobilization of workforce at Conga, with the balance largely
attributed to sustaining capital. The Company currently expects to invest
approximately $2.1 to $2.3 billion in attributable capital expenditures in
2013. Approximately 40% of this is allocated to development capital,
including at the Akyem project (~$250 million), Ahafo Mill Expansion (~$150
million) the Conga project (~$150 million), and other expansion projects in
Nevada (~$260 million) and at La Herradura (~$40 million), with the remaining
60% expected to be spent on sustaining capital.
Newmont's investment priorities include completing construction of Akyem in
2013, finishing the Phase 6 stripping campaign at Batu Hijau during 2013 and
2014, and identifying the best paths forward for Conga in Peru and Tanami in
Australia. The Company expects consolidated capital expenditures to decrease
from 2012 to 2013 by approximately 15-20%, excluding capitalized interest, as
declining capital commitments for Conga, Akyem, and Tanami are partially
offset by increasing development capital for the Ahafo Mill Expansion in Ghana
as well as the Phoenix Copper Leach in Nevada. Additional capital investment
is also possible at the Merian project in Suriname in 2013 pending the outcome
of further dialogue with the government and additional project evaluation.
Advanced Projects Update
Consolidated advanced projects, research and development expenditures were
$348 million in 2012, down from $373 million in 2011. The Company currently
plans to spend approximately $350 to $400 million in advanced projects in 2013
on a consolidated basis, or $300 to $350 on an attributable basis, focused
primarily on Long Canyon in Nevada, Elang in Indonesia, and the Subika
expansion in Africa.

Supplemental Information
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to
provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning
prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These
measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures
of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to GAAP Net Income Management of the
Company uses Adjusted net income to evaluate the Company's operating
performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The
Company believes the use of Adjusted net income allows investors and analysts
to compare results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct
and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals to
similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional
or unusual items. Management's determination of the components of Adjusted net
income are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP
financial measures used by mining industry analysts.
Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net
income as follows:

CAS per Ounce/Pound CAS per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the CAS of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on both a consolidated and attributable to Newmont basis. Attributable CAS is based on our economic interest in production from our mines. For operations where we hold less than a 100% economic share in the production, we exclude the share of gold or copper production attributable to the non-controlling interest. We include attributable CAS per ounce/pound to provide management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers. CAS 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.
Net attributable CAS per ounce measures the benefit of copper produced in conjunction with gold, as a credit against the cost of producing gold. A number of other gold producers present their costs net of the contribution from copper and other non-gold sales. We believe that including a measure of this basis provides management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers, and to better assess the overall performance of our business. In addition, this measure provides information to enable investors and analysts to understand the importance of non-gold revenues to our cost structure.

Cautionary Statement This release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: (i) estimates of future production and sales; (ii) estimates of future CAS; (iii) estimates of future consolidated and attributable capital expenditures, CAS, and all-in sustaining cost; and (iv) expectations regarding the development, growth and exploration potential of the Company's projects. Estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i) there being no significant change to current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii) permitting, development, operations and expansion of the Company's projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans; (iii) political developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) certain exchange rate assumptions for the Australian dollar to the U.S. dollar, as well as other the exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, copper and oil; (vi) prices for key supplies being approximately consistent with current levels; and (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the "forward-looking statements". Such risks include, but are not limited to, gold and other metals price volatility, currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans, political and operational risks, community relations, conflict resolution and outcome of projects or oppositions and governmental regulation and judicial outcomes. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company's 2012 Form 10-K, filed on February 22, 2013, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the Company's other SEC filings. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any "forward-looking statement," including, without limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued "forward-looking statement" constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on "forward-looking statements" is at investors' own risk.

[4] Please see Newmont's Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2013. [5] Outlook referenced in the table above and elsewhere in this release is based upon management's good faith estimates as of February 21, 2013 and are considered "forward-looking statements." References to outlook guidance are based on current mine plans, assumptions noted above and current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions, which are subject to risk and uncertainty as discussed in the "Cautionary Statement" on page 15 and in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's form 10-K.
