2. Cautionary Statement
Cautionary Statement Regarding 2011 Preliminary Results and Operating Highlights:
We caution you that, whether or not expressly stated, all measures of the Company's fourth quarter and 2011 financial results and condition contained in this news release, including
production, sales, average realized price, costs applicable to sales and capital expenditures, are preliminary and reflect our expected 2011 results as of the date of this news release. Actual
reported fourth quarter and 2011 results are subject to management's final review as well as audit by the Company's independent registered accounting firm and may vary significantly from
those expectations because of a number of factors, including, without limitation, additional or revised information and changes in accounting standards or policies or in how those standards
are applied. For a discussion of factors that may adversely affect our financial results and condition, see the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 24, 2011, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as well as the Company’s other SEC filings, available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The Company will provide additional discussion
and analysis and other important information about its fourth quarter and 2011 financial results and condition when it reports actual results on February 24, 2012.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements, Including 2012 Outlook and 2017 Goals and Growth Plan:
This presentation 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 those sections and other applicable laws. Those forward-looking statements include (without limitation) estimates
and expectations of, and statements regarding: (i) the Company’s strategy, outlook and plans; (ii) future equity gold and equity copper production; (iii) future operating, sales and other costs;
(iv) future capital expenditures; (v) project returns; (vi) project start dates, ramp up, life, pipeline timelines, including commencement of mining, drilling and stage gate advancement and
expansion opportunities; (vii) potential ounces or tons of reserves, NRM and potential resources; (viii) exploration pipeline, potential or upside, opportunities, growth and growth potential; (ix)
dividend payments and increases; (x) future liquidity, cash and balance sheet expectancy; and (xi) other financial outlook for the Company’s operations and projects including without limitation,
Ahafo and Akyem. Those forward-looking statements include (without limitation) statements that use forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “predict”, “anticipate”,
“believe”, “continue”, “potential”, “target”, “goal”, “opportunity”, “outlook”, or the negative or other variations of those terms or comparable terminology. Estimates or expectations of future
events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Those assumptions include (without limitation): (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 conducts business being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) certain exchange rate
assumptions for the Australian dollar to the U.S. dollar, as well as the other 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 such supplies otherwise being available on bases consistent with the Company’s current
expectations; and (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates and exploration information. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or
belief as to future events or results, that expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed to have a reasonable basis. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the “forward-looking statements”. Those risks,
uncertainties and other factors include (without limitation): (i) gold and other metals price volatility; (ii) currency fluctuations; (iii) increased capital and operating costs, and scarcity of and
competition for required labor and supplies; (iv) variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans; (v) operating or technical difficulties; (vi) political and operational
risks; (vii) community relations, conflict resolution and outcome of projects or oppositions; and (viii) governmental regulation and judicial outcomes. For a more detailed discussion of such risks
and other factors, see the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 24, 2011, as well as the Company’s other SEC filings. These forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance, given that they involve risks and uncertainties. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any forward-looking
statement 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. In addition, some of the statements in this presentation are based on assumptions or
methodologies (such as commodity prices) or subject to cautionary statements that are discussed in the notes found at the end of this presentation.

22. Endnotes
Investors are encouraged to read the information contained in this presentation in conjunction with the following notes footnotes, the Cautionary Statement on slide 2 and the factors described under the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent Form 10-
K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2011.
1. When used in this presentation, the phrase “growth potential” represents the sum for all projects of the current estimated average annual production targets for the first five years of production for each such project anticipated to be commissioned between
2011 and 2017. Additionally, unless otherwise indicated, references to potential production used in this presentation mean that portion that is attributable to Newmont’s ownership or economic interest.
2. Estimated reserve “exploration upside potential” refers to mineralization that are additional to current Reserves and Non-Reserve Mineralization (“NRM”). Estimates of such mineralization are provided on an “order of magnitude” basis for informational
purposes only. Conversion of such mineralization to Reserves is subject to substantive risks inherent in the mining industry, and no assurance can be given that such inventory will be converted to Reserves or of the timing or terms of any such conversion.
Even if significant mineralization is discovered and converted to Reserves, it will likely take many years from the initial phases of exploration to development and to production, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. As a result,
there is greater uncertainty of the conversion of such inventory to production than in the case of Reserves or NRM. For additional information on Newmont’s Reserves and NRM, see our Year-End Reserve Report (as of 12/31/10) available at
www.newmont.com/our-investors/reserves-and-resources. For a description of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate mineral reserves and mineralized material, as well as a general discussion of the extent to which the estimates
may be affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant factors, please see Newmont’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 24, 2011, and other SEC filings.
3. Newmont has established a gold price-linked dividend policy that serves as a non-binding guideline for Newmont’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of dividends. In addition, the
declaration and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board and will be determined based on Newmont’s financial results, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. In determining
the dividend to be declared and paid on the common stock of the Company, the Board may revise or terminate such policy at any time without prior notice.
4. Newmont’s preliminary 2011 attributable gold production was 5,184Koz. Preliminary 2011 attributable copper production was 206 Mlbs.
5. The future development of the Conga project remains subject to risks and uncertainties as disclosed on page 2 – “Cautionary Statement.” Development of the Conga project has been temporarily suspended as disclosed on November 30, 2011. Should the
Company be unable to continue with the current development plan at Conga, Newmont may in the future reprioritize and reallocate capital to development alternatives in Nevada, Australia, Ghana, and Indonesia. See Cautionary Note on page 2 and the
Company’s related news release dated 11/30/11 and the Cautionary Statement on slide 2 of this presentation.
6. When used in this presentation, the phrase “forecasted potential production” represents the sum for all projects of the current estimated average annual production targets for 2017 for each such project anticipated to be commissioned by 2017. Additionally,
unless otherwise indicated, references to potential production used in this presentation mean that portion that is attributable to Newmont's ownership or economic interest. Such estimates are subject to change based upon risks, future events and potential
modifications to the business plan as indicated on slide 2. Newmont currently forecasts 2017 attributable gold and copper production of approximately 7Moz and 400 Mlbs, respectively.
7. 2011 outlook and 2011 actual capital expenditures are shown on a consolidated basis; 2012 outlook is shown on an attributable basis.
8. We caution you that, whether or not expressly stated, all measures of the Company's fourth quarter and 2011 financial results and condition contained in this news release, including production, average realized price, costs applicable to sales and capital
expenditures, are preliminary and reflect our expected 2011 results as of the date of this news release. Actual reported fourth quarter and 2011 results are subject to management's final review as well as audit by the Company's independent registered
.
accounting firm and may vary significantly from those expectations because of a number of factors, including, without limitation, additional or revised information and changes in accounting standards or policies or in how those standards are applied. For a
discussion of factors that may adversely affect our financial results and condition, see the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 24, 2011, with the SEC, as well as the Company’s other SEC filings, available on the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov. The Company will provide additional discussion and analysis and other important information about its fourth quarter and 2011 financial results and condition when it reports actual results on February 24, 2012.
9. 2012 Outlook projections used in this presentation (“Outlook”) are considered “forward-looking statements” and represents management’s good faith estimates or expectations of future production results as of January 17, 2012 and is based upon certain
assumptions. Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to those set forth on slides 3, 5 and 21, including gold price of $1,500/ounce, copper price of $3.50/pound, oil price of $90/barrel and Australian dollar exchange rate of 1.00. Consequently, Outlook
cannot be guaranteed. Investors are cautioned that the Company does not undertake to subsequently reaffirm, provide comfort or otherwise update Outlook to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated

10. Dividend awarded subject to Board approval.
11. “NRM” used in this presentation refers to Measured, Indicated and/or Inferred materials that would be additional to Reserves. Newmont has determined that such NRM would be substantively the same as those prepared using the Guidelines established by
the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration and defined as Resources. The conversion of NRM to Reserves is subject to substantive risks inherent in the mining industry, and no assurance can be given that NRM will be converted to Reserves or of the
timing or terms of any such conversion. Even if significant mineralization is discovered and converted to reserves, it will likely take many years from the initial phases of exploration to development and to production, during which time the economic feasibility
of production may change. As a result, there is greater uncertainty of the conversion of NRM to production than in the case of Reserves.
12. As of 12/31/2010.
13. Newmont has established a gold price-linked dividend policy that serves as a non-binding guideline for Newmont’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of dividends. In addition, the
declaration and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board and will be determined based on Newmont’s financial results, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. In determining
the dividend to be declared and paid on the common stock of the Company, the Board may revise or terminate such policy at any time without prior notice.

Notes de l'éditeur
Not to be forgotten is the considerable optionality and upside embedded in our portfolio….Reserves sit on the right of the depiction that you see, and equate today to 93.5 Mozof gold and 9.4 Blbs of copper…Sitting in the Pre-scoping to Pre-Feasibility buckets (NRM), we believe that we have enough ounces to double reserves over time. In other words, we believe that there exists another Newmont behind today’s Newmont….I would urge you to start thinking about what we disclose as reserves and what that potential means - we might be twice as big as what we are today. We’re committed as a company to growing through the drill bit and we certainly see the potential to add growth from our internal opportunities.And quite frankly, that's where our focus is, moving some of those big undeveloped opportunities through into a reserve and ultimately into production….
We believe that we have an obligation to share the significant cash flow we are generating with the owners of the Company and that is what we intend to do with our gold price-linked dividend…Back on April 7 at our annual Investor Day, we were proud to announce that shareholders wouldreceive an annual dividend that increased by $0.20 for every $100 increase in our net realized gold price for the trailing quarter…. We enhanced our policy on Sept 19, 2011 to take advantage of the bullish metals prices that we see today. Between $1,700 and $1,999/oz gold, shareholders now receive and increase of $0.30/sh for every $100/oz movement in the gold price. At $2,000, that increase becomes $0.40/sh for each $100/sh increase in gold…clearly, no other company in the gold sector is committed to paying dividends like these…We strongly assert that no other company is as committed to returning capital to shareholders as NEM is. If you’re bullish and gold, are seeking leverage to the metal and desire some sort of additional income stream from your equity holdings, NEM is your company….
Results of dividend policy and growth story speak for themselves…Since April 7 we’ve outperformed the peers, and since the dividend policy enhancement, we’ve out performed the peers as well as the metals itself…Clearly, our combination of production growth and return of capital have resonated well with the street and market in general….Note: ~$490M paid in dividends on 2011 or 8% yield at $60 share price
DAVE SCHUMMERAfrica is the youngest and the highest growth region in our portfolioOpportunity to double production in the next 4 to 6 yearsWe are generating strong cash flow today (cost control and leverage to the gold price)Low cost producing regionAhafo easily within the industry cost curveAkyem coming on at competitive costsLongevity – our current operation and projects allow give us significant mine life +20 year mine life at Ahafo; 16 year mine life at AkyemOptionalityCurrent portfolio of internal projects allows us to double productionPlus our regional and genex opportunities allow for more upside in AfricaThere is more to come – regional exploration, Genex opportunities, Nimba and Ahafo NorthA portion of that success came from Africa where we added 1.1Moz to reserves at the Subika open pit. Subika is a great example of the opportunity we are seeing in Ghana. Deposits that have solid reserve bases and are always surprising us to the upside in terms of expansion potential. We continue to leverage our extensive land position to build our future through the drill bit and through the development of our internal portfolio of project, including Akyem, Subika and a number of other projects we will discuss with you over the next two days.Reference note: Paid ~$2.8B for Normandy in 2002
Gold mining in Ghana (historically called the Gold Coast) can be traced back to the 10th century along the region of Precambrian Birimian and Tarkwaian rocks structurally deformed and presently referred to as the Ashanti belt. The Obuasi mine is a world class gold operation developed under European control in the late-1800’s and actively produces gold from underground workings with owner AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. Historic production well-surpassed 25 million ounces and drill holes demonstrate gold occurrences extend as deep as 3 kilometers. Newmont established a presence on the Ashanti belt at the Akyem deposit following the acquisition of Normandy Mining of Australia in 2002. Akyem lies on the southeastern structural margin of the Ashanti belt and recently obtained license approval for mine and mill construction. However, the first producing Newmont Ghanaian gold mine lies westward of Ashanti in a recently defined Birimian structural corridor called the Sefwi belt. Economic deposits of gold occur along a 70 kilometer strike length of the Birimian System. Newmont began gold production in 2006 and by 2010 four pits provided mill ores while a decline was initiated in 2010 to evaluate underground potential. There is vast potential along these historic gold belts and Newmont is well positioned to leverage exploration opportunities along both belts. Now let’s discuss some of those opportunities.
Turning to Akyem…
Akyem received full funds approval back in March of this year and we expect the mine to be a significant contributor to our growth plan…Ghana for us is really the growth engine. We'll grow Ghana from roughly ~550Koz in 2011 to about 1Moz with Akyem, and then probably a couple hundred thousand ounces on top of that from underground. The future in Africa for us will be underground. We've seen some very exciting results deep and with the land acquisition cost in Ghana as high as it is, the future will be more underground than open pit for us…Akyemis a little different from the Ahafo operation in Ghana – Ahafo hasa number of pits. Akyemis one large open pit that will be mined for, depending on your metal price, 15 - 20 years. You can see what it does, adding ~400Koz to our portfolioa year at ~$500/oz. We plan to be inproduction in late 2013 or early 2014. …The project team has done an outstanding job getting the project progressed. Construction is on schedule and we remain on budget….Engineering is essentially done. You can see some of the mechanical work there off to the lower right….Note: ~$250M capex spent at Akyem in 2011Note: Construction to reach 50% complete near end of Q2 2012….
DALE FINN transition to Randy BarnesLooking for a parallel structure in the “Exploration Target” area. This is very early stage and not a slam dunk, but definitely worth taking a look.
Adriaan van Kersen transition to Dale Finn Stress – Resource expansion at Ahafo supports having a bigger mill and does not rob any mine life since we will be stockpiling lower grade ore as we process higher grade underground ore. Goal of the mill expansion: Increase ability to process and produce gold at Ahafo in light of significant resource discoveries that will be developed and brought into production. The mill has a positive impact on our production profile and we will still maintain our long mine life. Capital -We will have a capital estimate after we complete a scoping and pre-feasibility study. Since we are just starting this project, it is too early to discuss capital estimates. Timeline – start-up in 2015-2017
DALE FINN 20km north of where we are currently mining we have an 7km strike length with +7gpt ore shoots. With the encouraging underground results at Subika and Apensu at Ahafo South, at this point there is no reason to think we will not see similar ore bodies at Ahafo North.
Prior to closing, I’d just like to briefly touch on our per share metrics…we stand leagues apart from our peers in this regard…We are clearly the per share leader in the industry on reserves, production, adjusted earnings and consolidated cash flow, and we continue to deliver the highest level of exposure to the gold price in the industry…The charts displayed make evident how serious we are regarding share dilution.We are very cautious in terms of how and when we issue shares and we don’t plan to deviate from that approach…We are very cautious in terms of how and when we issue shares. The last share issuance we had was related to the Boddington acquisition from Anglo, so we will bulk up the balance sheet for existing production or near term production. We will generally not use shares to purchase assets that don't provide current production….Our commitment we will deliver the best per share metrics and as a result the highest leverage to gold. We believe this will translate into higher share price. I’d just close just by saying that shareholders should get real returns in their portfolio when gold prices go up.The thinking historically has been that delivering per share metrics in terms of production going to the bottom line and earnings and cash flow per share would yield additional price-related returns for shareholders. It will and it should….
RANDY BARNES transition to Kim HackneyAhafo ESR efforts have been a success and we are working to not only match, but exceed those efforts at Akyem. Forest:If our current permits to be in the reserve suffice for the life of the mineThe current permits do not have any restrictions for mining in that portion of the forest reserve that is in the Mining Lease other than all infrastructure except the pit must be located outside the forest reserve. It should be noted that the AjenjuaBepo Forest Reserve is a production forest reserve. This is a reserve that allows timber harvesting through permitting by the Forestry Commission. If the forest reserve constrains future exploration on the land packageThe current permits and mining lease do not have any restrictions for future exploration in that portion of the forest reserve that is in the Mining Lease (land package).
