Second Quarter Summary Results
GAAP Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders from continuing operations was $50 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to $63 million or $0.13 per share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Net Income was $231 million or $0.44 per share, compared to $131 million or $0.26 per share in the prior year quarter. The primary adjustment to net income in the second quarter is a $174 million movement in tax valuation allowances and tax adjustments related to prior period earnings.
Revenue totaled $2.0 billion in the quarter, in line with $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2015 as higher gold volumes and pricing offset lower copper volumes and pricing.
Average net realized gold and copper price7 was $1,260 per ounce and $1.94 per pound, respectively, compared with $1,179 per ounce and $2.41 per pound in the prior year quarter.
Attributable production totaled 1.3 million ounces, compared to 1.2 million ounces in the second quarter of 2015. During the quarter, new production from CC&V and higher production at Tanami, Kalgoorlie and Ahafo more than offset declining production at Yanacocha and the sale of Waihi. Attributable copper production totaled 38,000 tonnes compared to 42,000 tonnes in the prior year period due to slightly lower grade and throughput at Batu Hijau.
CAS Total costs applicable to sales of $1,059 million and $637 per ounce in the second quarter compared to $1,027 million and $642 per ounce in the prior year quarter. Second quarter CAS per ounce improvements were led by Kalgoorlie and the inclusion of CC&V. Higher production offset processing lower grade and deep transitional ore at Yanacocha. Copper CAS was $1.21 per pound in the second quarter, no change from the prior year quarter.
AISC was $876 per ounce and $1.53 per pound, respectively, compared to $909 per ounce and $1.61 per pound in the prior year quarter. AISC benefitted from production and CAS improvements detailed above and further improved due to timing-related reductions in sustaining capital. Full year sustaining capital is expected to be slightly lower due to ongoing cost and efficiency improvements.
Capital expenditures8 for the second quarter were $294 million, including $155 million of sustaining capital, compared to $322 million in the prior year quarter, including $170 million sustaining capital. Sustaining capital for the quarter declined slightly due to timing of spend. Development capital was used to construct projects, including new mines at Merian and Long Canyon, and expansions at CC&V and Tanami.
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $780 million in the second quarter, compared to $441 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to increased gold pricing and volumes, assisted by lower costs. Free cash flow was $486 million in the second quarter, compared to $119 million in the prior year quarter. The company held $2,902 million of consolidated cash on its balance sheet at the end of the second quarter.
Newmont has also generated approximately $1.9 billion in asset sales since 2013 while maintaining steady attributable gold production. Gross proceeds from asset sales would increase further with the expected sale of Batu Hijau.
On June 30, Newmont announced an agreement to sell its interests in PTNNT, which operates the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in Indonesia. The total consideration of $1.3 billion for Newmont’s 48.5 percent economic interest includes cash proceeds of $920 million expected to be paid at closing and contingent payments of $403 million tied to metal price upside and development of the Elang deposit.
7 Non-GAAP measure. See end of release for reconciliation to sales. 8 Capital expenditures refers to Additions to property plant and mine development from the statements of consolidated cash flows.

Projects Update
Cripple Creek & Victor (CC&V) expansion includes a new leach pad, recovery plant and mill. Leach pad construction finished ahead of schedule with first production in March 2016. The recovery plant remains on schedule to be completed later this year. Gold production for 2016 is expected to be between 350,000 and 400,000 ounces at CAS of between $500 and $550 per ounce and AISC of between $600 and $650 per ounce, with production weighted toward the latter part of the year. CC&V development capital is forecasted at approximately $185 million, with $70 million to be spent in 2016.
Merian is a new mine in Suriname expected to deliver more than a decade of profitable production and accretive returns. Construction is approximately 90% complete. The project remains $100 million below initial budget and is on track to reach commercial production in the second half of 2016. Merian will produce between 400,000 and 500,000 ounces (on a 100% basis) of gold annually during its first five years at CAS of between $575 and $675 per ounce and AISC of between $650 and $750 per ounce. Newmont’s 75% share of development capital is estimated at between $575 million and $625 million, with an expenditure of between $170 million and $210 million in 2016.
Long Canyon is an oxide ore body that provides significant exploration upside potential in an emerging district. The Phase 1 project is approximately 80% complete and remains on budget and on schedule to reach commercial production in the first quarter of 2017. This first phase of development includes an open pit mine and heap leach operation. Production is expected to average between 100,000 and 150,000 ounces per year at CAS of between $400 and $500 per ounce and AISC of between $500 and $600 per ounce over an eight year mine life. Approximately half of the total capital costs of between $250 million and $300 million will be spent in 2016 with minimal spending in 2017.
Tanami Expansion Project includes constructing a second decline in the mine and building incremental capacity in the plant to increase profitable production and serve as a platform for future expansion. The project is on budget and on schedule to deliver additional production beginning in 2017. The expansion expects to maintain annual gold production of between 425,000 and 475,000 ounces per year at CAS of between $550 and $600 per ounce and AISC of between $700 and $750 per ounce for the first five years. The expansion will also increase mine life by three years. Capital costs for the project are estimated at between $100 million and $120 million with approximately half of that amount spent in 2016.
Northwest Exodus is a sustaining capital underground extension in the Carlin North Area that is expected to extend mine life by seven years, to produce incremental gold production between 50,000 and 75,000 ounces per year in the first five years, and to improve Carlin’s CAS by an average of $20 per ounce and AISC by an average of $25 per ounce. The project will produce first gold in Q3 2016.
Ahafo Mill Expansion and Subika Underground represent opportunities not currently included in Newmont’s outlook. The two projects would increase profitable production at Ahafo while lowering costs and offsetting the impacts of lower grades and harder ore. Both projects will be reviewed in the second half of 2016.
Outlook
Outlook excludes Batu Hijau for all periods for illustrative purposes. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter following receipt of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other conditions precedent.
Attributable gold production is expected to increase from between 4.7 and 5.0 million ounces in 2016 to between 4.9 and 5.4 million ounces in 2017, and remain stable at between 4.5 and 5.0 million ounces through 2020. New production at CC&V, Long Canyon Phase 1, Northwest Exodus, Tanami and Merian is expected to offset the impacts of maturing operations at Yanacocha and the sale of Batu Hijau. Projects that are not yet approved, including Ahafo Mill Expansion and Subika Underground, represent production upside of between 200,000 and 300,000 ounces of gold beginning in 2018.
Attributable copper production is expected to be between 40,000 and 60,000 tonnes in 2016 and between 40,000 and 65,000 tonnes in 2017 and 2018, with stable production expected at Phoenix Copper Leach and Boddington.
Gold cost outlook – CAS is expected to be between $630 and $680 per ounce in 2016, and remain stable at between $650 and $750 per ounce in 2017 and 2018. Costs benefit from higher grades at Carlin underground mines through 2017, and from lower cost production at Tanami and Merian through 2018. Ongoing cost and efficiency improvements are expected to offset lower grades and throughput at Ahafo and maturing operations at Yanacocha. Full Potential savings and lower cost ounces from projects that have yet to be approved could further improve costs in 2017 and beyond.
AISC is expected to improve to between $870 and $930 per ounce in 2016, holding relatively steady at between $850 and $950 per ounce in 2017. Long term AISC guidance is improved to between $880 and $980 per ounce based on inclusion of Northwest Exodus and improved oil price assumptions.
Copper cost outlook – Copper CAS is expected to be between $1.80 and $2.00 per pound in 2016 and 2017 rising temporarily to between $2.30 and $2.50 per pound in 2018 due to stripping at Boddington. Copper AISC is expected to average between $2.20 and $2.40 per pound in 2016 increasing to between $2.30 and $2.60 in 2017 due to timing on sustaining capital spend. Copper AISC is expected to increase to between $2.75 and $2.95 per pound in 2018 due to stripping at Boddington.
Capital – 2016 capital is expected to be between $1.1 and $1.3 billion including between $650 and $700 million of sustaining capital. Sustaining capital is expected to increase to between $800 and $900 million in 2017 to cover equipment rebuilds, water treatment and tailings storage facilities. Technical and operational cost and efficiency improvements represent further upside. Long-term sustaining capital is expected to remain stable at between $700 and $800 million to cover infrastructure, equipment and ongoing mine development.
Debt – The company expects approximately $260 to $280 million of interest expense in 2016. Year-to-date, Newmont has reduced debt by more than $600 million in 2016. The Company remains on track to repay $800 million to $1.3 billion of debt between 2016 and 2018, targeting the highest rates and nearest-term maturities first.

a2016 Outlook in the table above are considered “forward-looking statements” and are based upon certain assumptions, including, but not limited to, metal prices, oil prices, certain exchange rates and other assumptions. For example, 2016 Outlook assumes $1,300/oz Au, $2.00/lb Cu, $0.75 USD/AUD exchange rate and $50/barrel WTI; AISC and CAS cost estimates do not include inflation, for the remainder of the year. Production, AISC and capital estimates exclude projects that have not yet been approved, (Twin Underground, Batu Phase 7, Ahafo Mill Expansion and Subika Underground). The potential impact on inventory valuation as a result of lower prices, input costs, and project decisions are not included as part of this Outlook. Such assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. See cautionary note at the end of the release. bAll-in sustaining costs as used in the Company’s Outlook is a non-GAAP metric defined as the sum of cost applicable to sales (including all direct and indirect costs related to current gold production incurred to execute on the current mine plan), remediation costs (including operating accretion and amortization of asset retirement costs), G&A, exploration expense, advanced projects and R&D, treatment and refining costs, other expense, net of one-time adjustments and sustaining capital. See reconciliation at end of release. cIncludes Lone Tree operations. dIncludes TRJV operations. eConsolidated production for Yanacocha is presented on a total production basis for the mine site; attributable production represents a 51.35% interest. fBoth consolidated and attributable production are shown on a pro-rata basis with a 50% ownership for Kalgoorlie. gProduction outlook does not include equity production from stakes in TMAC (29.4%) or La Zanja (46.94%). hConsolidated production for Batu Hijau is presented on a total production basis for the mine site; whereas attributable production represents a 48.5% ownership interest in 2016 outlook. Outlook for Batu Hijau remains subject to various factors, including, without limitation, renegotiation of the CoW, issuance of future export approvals, negotiations with the labor union, future in-country smelting availability and regulations relating to export quotas, and certain other factors. iConsolidated expense outlook is adjusted to exclude extraordinary items. For example, the tax rate outlook above is a consolidated adjusted rate, which assumes the exclusion of certain tax valuation allowance adjustments. Beginning in 2016, regional general and administrative expense is included in total general and administrative expense (G&A) and community development cost is included in CAS.

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.
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 production and sale of minerals, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. The net income (loss) adjustments are presented net of tax generally at the Company’s statutory effective tax rate of 35% and net of our partners’ noncontrolling interests when applicable. The impact of the adjustments through the Company’s Valuation allowance is shown separately. The tax adjustment includes items such as foreign tax credits, alternative minimum tax credits, capital losses and disallowed foreign losses. 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:

(2)
Impairment of investments, included in Other income, net, represents other-than-temporary impairments on equity and cost method investments and does not relate to our core operations. Amounts are presented net of tax expense (benefit) of $-, $(6), $- and $(26), respectively.
(3)
Impairment of long-lived assets, included in Other expense, net, represents non-cash write-downs that do not impact our core operations. Amounts are presented net of tax expense (benefit) of $(1), $-, $(1) and $(1), respectively, and amounts attributed to noncontrolling interest income (expense) of $(1), $-, $(1) and $-, respectively.
(4)
Restructuring and other, included in Other expense, net, represents certain costs associated with the Full Potential initiative announced in 2013, a one-time payment to PT Freeport Indonesia for engineering studies related to their smelter project in the second quarter of 2016, accrued legal costs in our Africa region during 2016 as well as system integration costs related to our acquisition of CC&V. Amounts are presented net of tax expense (benefit) of $(3), $(3), $(8) and $(5), respectively, and amounts attributed to noncontrolling interest income (expense) of $(2), $(1), $(3) and $(2), respectively.
(5)
Acquisition costs, included in Other expense, net, represents adjustments made in the second quarter of 2016 to the contingent consideration liability from the acquisition of Boddington and costs associated with the acquisition of CC&V in 2015. Amounts are presented net of tax expense (benefit) of $(1), $(3), $(1) and $(3), respectively.
(6)
Loss (gain) on asset and investment sales, included in Other income, net, primarily represents the sale of our holdings in Regis Resources Ltd. in the first quarter of 2016 and land sales of Hemlo mineral rights in Canada and the Relief Canyon mine in Nevada during the first quarter of 2015. Amounts are presented net of tax expense (benefit) of $-, $-, $- and $16, respectively.
(7)
Loss on debt repayment, included in Other income, net and Interest expense, net, represents the impact of the debt tender offer on our 2019 Notes and 2039 Notes during the first quarter of 2016. Amounts are presented net of tax expense (benefit) of $-, $-, $(1) and $-, respectively.
(8)
Tax adjustments include movements in tax valuation allowance and tax adjustments not related to core operations. Second quarter and year to date tax adjustments were primarily the result of a tax restructuring and a loss carryback, both of which resulted in an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance on credits.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
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 earnings (loss), operating earnings (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does 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:

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 operating activities plus Net cash used in discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant and mine development as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. 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 Flow.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net cash provided by 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 used in investing activities and net cash 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 on a consistent basis 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 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 gold 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:
Cost Applicable to Sales - Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current gold production incurred to execute the current mine plan. Costs Applicable to Sales (“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 Amortization and Reclamation and remediation, which is consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Statement of Consolidated Income. 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 Statement of Consolidated Income less the amount of CAS attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau 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, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines is based upon the relative sales percentage of copper and gold sold during the period.
Remediation Costs - Includes accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) for the Company’s operating properties recorded as an ARC asset. Accretion related to ARO and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation and remediation do not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation and remediation associated with current gold 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, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines.
Advanced Projects and Exploration - Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to increase or enhance current gold production and gold 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 gold 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 Company’s Statement of Consolidated Income less the amount attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau 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 Batu Hijau, Boddington and Phoenix mines.
General and Administrative - Includes cost related to administrative tasks not directly related to current gold production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfilling 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 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 gold operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) 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, Boddington and Batu Hijau 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.
Sustaining Capital - We determined sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current gold 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 gold production or reserves, are considered development. We determined the breakout of sustaining and development capital costs 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 gold 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 Batu Hijau, Boddington and Phoenix mines.

Net average realized price per ounce/ pound
Average realized price per ounce/ pound are non-GAAP financial measures. The measures are calculated by dividing the Net consolidated gold and copper sales by the consolidated gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Average realized price per ounce/ pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only, 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 measure:

Gold By-Product Metrics
Copper is a by-product often obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. In our GAAP Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the value of these by-products is recorded as a credit to our CAS and the value of the primary ore is recorded as Sales. In certain instances, copper is a co-product, or significant resource in the primary ore-body, and the revenue is recorded as Sales in our GAAP Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Gold By-Product Metrics are non-GAAP financial measures that serve as a basis for comparing the Company’s performance with certain competitors. As Newmont’s operations are primarily focused on gold production, “Gold By-Product Metrics” were developed to allow investors to view Sales, CAS per ounce and AISC per ounce calculations that classify all copper production as a by-product, even when copper is the primary ore-body. These metrics are calculated by subtracting copper sales recognized from Sales and including these amounts as offsets to CAS.
Gold By-Product Metrics are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. These metrics are intended to provide supplemental information only, 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. 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 IFRS.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Including Outlook:
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 consolidated and attributable production and sales; (ii) estimates of future costs applicable to sales and All-in sustaining costs; (iii) estimates of future consolidated and attributable capital expenditures; (iv) our efforts to continue delivering reduced costs and efficiency; (v) expectations regarding the development, growth and potential of the Company’s operations, projects and investments; (vi) expectations regarding future debt repayments; and (vii) expectations regarding the completion of the sale of Batu Hijau, including, without limitation, the timing of closing of the sale transaction, future receipt of contingent payments, expected use of proceeds, expected accounting impacts resulting from the proposed transaction, future operation and transition of Batu Hijau (including Phase 7) and future development of Elang. 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 operations and projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans, including without limitation receipt of export approvals; (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; (vii) the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineralized material estimates; (viii) the acceptable outcome of negotiation of the amendment to the Contract of Work and/or resolution of export issues in Indonesia; and (ix) other assumptions noted herein. Investors are cautioned that no assurances can be made with respect to the closing of the pending sale of the Company’s interest in PTNNT,which remains contingent on the receipt of regulatory approvals, buyer shareholder approval, and satisfaction of other conditions precedent, including, without limitation, government approval of the PTNNT share transfer, maintenance of valid export license at closing, the concurrent closing of the PTMDB sale of its 24 percent stake to the buyer, resolution of certain tax matters, and no occurrence of material adverse events that would substantially impact the future value of Batu Hijau. Potential additional risks include other political, regulatory or legal challenges and community and labor issues. The amount of contingent payment will also remain subject to risks and uncertainties, including copper prices and future production and development at Batu Hijau and Elang. 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”. Other risks relating to forward looking statements in regard to the Company’s business and future performance may 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 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 17, 2016, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 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.
Investors are reminded that this news release should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Form 10-Q expected to be filed on or about July 20, 2016 with the SEC (also available at www.newmont.com).
