Newmont Announces Monetization of Equity Received Through Successful Divestiture Program

Expected to Generate ~$470 million in Net Proceeds, Reflecting Strong Equity Appreciation

Newmont Remains on Track to Deliver on its 2025 Guidance and Capital Allocation Priorities

Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT, ASX: NEM, PNGX: NEM) ("Newmont" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has executed agreements for the sale of shares in Greatland Resources Limited ("Greatland") and Discovery Silver Corp ("Discovery") for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $470 million, net of taxes and commissions.

In February 2024, Newmont announced its intent to divest certain high-quality non-core assets, building an unparalleled portfolio of world class gold and copper operations and projects. The monetization of the Greatland and Discovery shares further streamlines Newmont's equity portfolio, while generating cash for the business.

Newmont remains on track to deliver on its 2025 guidance, while continuing to generate strong free cash flow from the Company's world class portfolio of high-quality, long-life assets. With today's announcement, Newmont now expects to generate $3.0 billion in after-tax cash proceeds from its divestiture program in 2025 to support Newmont's capital allocation priorities, which include strengthening our balance sheet and returning capital to shareholders.

Sale of Greatland Shares

Working in conjunction with Greatland, Newmont agreed to divest half of its shares in June 2025. The Greatland shares sold were received as part of the consideration for the divestment of the Telfer operation and Newmont's 70% interest in the Havieron gold-copper project to Greatland in 2024 (the "Telfer-Havieron Transaction"). The sale reflects an approximately 230% return relative to the value announced at the time of the Telfer-Havieron Transaction. Following the sale of the shares, Newmont's remaining equity stake in Greatland is approximately 9.9%.

Sale of Discovery Shares

Working in conjunction with Discovery, Newmont agreed to divest 100% of its shares in May 2025 and July 2025. The Discovery shares sold were received as part of the consideration for the divestment of the Porcupine mine to Discovery in 2025 (the "Porcupine Transaction"). The sales reflect an approximately 200% return relative to the value announced at the time of the Porcupine Transaction. To facilitate the sales, Discovery agreed to waive certain provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement entered into between the parties with respect to the Porcupine Transaction. Following the settlement of the July 2025 sales 1 , Newmont will not be a shareholder of Discovery.

Drilling is currently focused on the northern part of the Swanson Gold Project near the Swanson Gold Deposit, which hosts an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate. These regional exploration holes are testing geological, geophysical, and geochemical targets up to 3 km from the Swanson Gold Deposit and along strike of a major structural break. Visual core logging suggests that several of the completed holes intersected geological features similar to those hosting known mineralization at the Swanson Gold Deposit.

The Gold Standard: Facts and History

The Gold Standard: Facts and History

The gold standard. Today, the term denotes something that is the highest level of quality in its category.

Gold, with all its luster, has been sought after, fought over and prized for thousands of years. It’s been used as a sacred adornment and has projected the wealth and status of monarchs and nobility. And ever since the ancient Lydians minted the first gold coins around 550 BCE, the yellow metal has played an important role in the monetary system.

Over the millennia, gold has never lost its appeal, and by the end of the 19th century it had become a crucial component of how nations interacted with each other economically.
