Third Quarter 2024 Production and Financial Summary
Attributable gold production 1 increased 4 percent to 1,668 thousand ounces from the prior quarter primarily due to higher production at Cerro Negro from a full quarter of resumed operations following the completion of the investigation into the tragic fatalities of two members of the Newmont workforce in the second quarter. Third quarter production also benefited from higher throughput at Brucejack, higher mill utilization at Ahafo following the girth gear replacement during the second quarter and improved production at Yanacocha primarily driven by the benefits of injection leaching.
Fourth quarter production is expected to be the highest of the year driven primarily by improved grades at Peñasquito and Tanami, improved throughput at Lihir after the expected completion of the planned autoclave maintenance and sequential improvements delivered from our non-managed joint venture operation at Nevada Gold Mines.
Average realized gold price was $2,518, an increase of $171 per ounce over the prior quarter. Average realized gold price includes $2,488 per ounce of gross price received, a favorable impact of $34 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and reductions of $4 per ounce for treatment and refining charges.
Gold CAS 2 totaled $1.9 billion for the quarter. Gold CAS per ounce 3 increased 5 percent to $1,207 per ounce compared to the prior quarter primarily due to higher direct costs at Lihir, as a result of planned autoclave maintenance, as well as higher direct operating costs primarily due to increased contract services across the portfolio.
Gold AISC per ounce 3 increased 3 percent to $1,611 per ounce compared to the prior quarter primarily due to higher CAS.
Attributable gold equivalent ounce (GEO) production from other metals decreased 10 percent to 430 thousand ounces from the prior quarter due to lower production at Peñasquito as a result of lower co-product grades.
CAS from other metals 2 totaled $418 million for the quarter. CAS per GEO 3 increased 21 percent from the prior quarter to $1,015 per ounce due to higher costs allocated to co-products at Peñasquito, Cadia, and Red Chris, as well as the impact of the shutdown at Telfer due to the tailings remediation work.
AISC per GEO 3 increased 11 percent to $1,338 per ounce compared to the prior quarter primarily due to higher CAS from other metals, partially offset by lower treatment and refining costs.
Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders was $922 million or $0.80 per diluted share, an increase of $69 million from the prior quarter primarily due to higher average realized gold prices and higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher unit costs of production, as well as a loss on assets held for sale of $115 million recognized in the third quarter compared to $246 million recognized in the second quarter of 2024.
Adjusted net income 4 was $936 million or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $834 million or $0.72 per diluted share in the prior quarter. Primary adjustments to third quarter net income include a loss on assets held for sale of $115 million primarily related to Telfer and Havieron, reclamation and remediation charges of $33 million, a gain on asset and investment sales of $28 million, Newcrest transaction and integration costs of $17 million, a loss on the fair value of investments of $17 million and a gain of $15 million on the partial redemption of certain Senior Notes.
Adjusted EBITDA 4 remained in line with the prior quarter at $2.0 billion.
Consolidated cash from operations before working capital 5 increased 11 percent from the prior quarter to $1.8 billion primarily due to higher realized gold prices in the third quarter.
Consolidated net cash from operating activities increased 17 percent from the prior quarter to $1.6 billion primarily due to the improvement in cash from operations. Net cash from operating activities in the third quarter was impacted by a $209 million reduction in operating cash flow due to changes in working capital, including a build in inventory of $202 million mainly due to Lihir and Telfer, and reclamation spend of $107 million, primarily related to the construction of the Yanacocha water treatment facilities. These unfavorable working capital changes were partially offset by favorable timing of accrued liability payments.
Free Cash Flow 7 increased 28 percent from the prior quarter to $760 million primarily due to improvements in consolidated net cash from operating activities including reduced working capital impacts, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures (net of capital accruals) 6 increased 10 percent from the prior quarter to $877 million. Sustaining capital spend increased from the second quarter due to the timing of project spend at Ahafo, Tanami, Boddington, and Lihir. Development capital expenditures in 2024 primarily relate to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Cadia Panel Caves, and Cerro Negro expansion projects.
Balance sheet and liquidity remained strong in the third quarter, ending with $3.0 billion of consolidated cash and cash of $86 million included in Assets held for sale , with approximately $7.1 billion of total liquidity; reported net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 0.9x 8 .
Non-Managed Joint Venture and Equity Method Investments 9
Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) attributable gold production decreased 4 percent to 242 thousand ounces, with a 7 percent increase in CAS to $1,311 per ounce 3 . AISC was largely in line with the prior quarter at $1,675 per ounce 3 .
Pueblo Viejo (PV) attributable gold production increased 25 percent to 66 thousand ounces compared to the prior quarter. Cash distributions received for the Company's equity method investment in Pueblo Viejo totaled $37 million in the third quarter. Capital contributions of $12 million were made during the quarter related to the expansion project at Pueblo Viejo.
Fruta del Norte attributable gold production is reported on a quarter lag. Production reported in the third quarter of 2024 increased 23 percent to 43 thousand ounces compared to the prior quarter. Cash distributions received from the Company's equity method investment in Fruta del Norte were $15 million for the third quarter.

Projects Update: Cadia Panel Caves
Cadia Panel Caves (Australia) includes two panel caves expected to extract approximately 5.9 million ounces of gold reserves as well as 1.3 million tonnes of copper reserves 1 .
- Panel Cave 2-3 (PC2-3) is expected to produce 1.0 million ounces of gold and more than 400 thousand tonnes of copper over its ten-year cave life (2024 - 2034). During peak production (2027 - 2032), PC2-3 is expected to ramp up to deliver between 100 and 150 thousand ounces of gold per year, and between 40 and 60 thousand tonnes of copper per year. First ore was delivered during the fourth quarter of 2023 and cave establishment was achieved during the third quarter of 2024. Total capital cost for PC2-3 is estimated to be between $1.0 and $1.2 billion, which includes more than $900 million spent by Newcrest prior to the acquisition by Newmont in November 2023. Development capital spend by Newmont is estimated to be between $150 to $250 million and continue until the last drawbell is fired expected to be in the second half of 2026. Development capital invested (excluding capitalized interest) since acquisition is $49 million, of which $38 million related to 2024.
- Panel Cave 1-2 (PC1-2) is expected to produce 4.0 million ounces of gold and more than 700 thousand tonnes of copper over its fifteen year cave life (2027 - 2042). During peak production (2030 - 2040), PC1-2 is expected to ramp up to deliver between 275 and 325 thousand ounces of gold per year, and between 35 and 55 thousand tonnes of copper per year. The PC1-2 project is currently under review and a more fulsome update on the project's opportunities and metrics is expected to be provided in 2025. Development capital invested (excluding capitalized interest) since acquisition is $148 million, of which $123 million related to 2024.
- In line with the development of the Cadia Panel Caves, Newmont's current focus is on maximizing existing tailings capacity, repairing the south wall of the Northern Tailings Facility and delivering the Southern Tailings lift. Newmont is undertaking long-term planning and design of its facilities to ensure that the tailings storage facilities are able to support the long mine life of Cadia. This work is intended to create capacity for the development of PC2-3, PC1-2, and future caves, setting up the next several decades of ore feed at Cadia.
Committed to Concurrent Reclamation
Since mines operate for a finite period, careful closure planning is crucial to address the diverse social, economic, environmental, and regulatory impacts associated with the end of mining operations. Newmont's global Closure Strategy integrates closure planning throughout each operation's lifespan, aiming to create enduring positive and sustainable legacies that last long after mining ceases. Newmont continues to accrue to reclamation and remediation spend through the year. With $273 million in reclamation spent year to date, we anticipate an additional $225 million to be spent in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily related to the construction of two new water treatment plants and post-closure management at Yanacocha. The operation's ongoing closure planning study advanced to the feasibility state in December 2023 and continues to address several complex closure issues, including water management, social impacts and tailings. A long-term water management solution will replace five existing water treatment facilities with two, addressing the watersheds along the continental divide. Certain estimated costs remain subject to revision as ongoing study work and assessment of opportunities that incorporates the latest design considerations remain in progress.
1 PC2-3 and PC1-2 are subsets of Cadia's total Mineral Reserves, please refer to Newmont's 10-K for the total Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources at Cadia for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. Project estimates remain subject to change based upon uncertainties, including future market conditions, macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, changes in interest rates, inflation, commodities and raw materials prices, supply chain disruptions, labor markets, engineering and mine plan assumptions, future funding decisions, consideration of strategic capital allocation, and other factors, which may impact estimated capital expenditures, AISC, and timing of projects. Please see the cautionary statement at the end of this release for additional information regarding forward-looking statements. |

(1) | Attributable gold ounces sold excludes ounces related to the Pueblo Viejo mine, which is 40% owned by Newmont and accounted for as an equity method investment, and the Fruta del Norte mine, which is wholly owned by Lundin Gold whom the Company holds a 31.9% interest and is accounted for as an equity method investment. | |
(2) | For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Peñasquito had no production due to the Peñasquito labor strike. Sales activity recognized in the third quarter of 2023 at Peñasquito is related to adjustments on provisionally priced concentrate sales subject to final settlement. As such, the per ounce metrics are not meaningful ("N.M.") for the current quarter. | |
(3) | Represents attributable gold from Newmont's 40% interest in Pueblo Viejo, which is accounted for as an equity method investment. Attributable gold ounces produced at Pueblo Viejo are not included in attributable gold ounces sold, as noted in footnote (1). Income and expenses of equity method investments are included in Equity income (loss) of affiliates . | |
(4) | Represents attributable gold from Newmont's 31.9% interest in Lundin Gold, who wholly owns and operates the Fruta del Norte mine, which is accounted for on a quarterly-lag as an equity method investment. Attributable gold ounces produced by Lundin Gold represent prior quarter production and are not included in attributable gold ounces sold, as noted in footnote (1). Income and expenses of equity method investments are included in Equity income (loss) of affiliates . | |
(5) | Sites are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024. | |
(6) | For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Telfer production was impacted due to the suspension of operations as a result of remediation work on the tailings storage facility. Production resumed at the end of the third quarter. Consequently, unit cost metrics for gold and copper are not meaningful ("N.M"). | |
(7) | Non-GAAP measure. See end of this release for reconciliation. |

Attributable Free Cash Flow
Management uses Attributable Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations that are attributable to the Company. Attributable Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities after deducting net cash flows from operations attributable to noncontrolling interests less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations after deducting net cash flows from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests less Additions to property, plant and mine development after deducting property, plant and mine development attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company believes that Attributable Free Cash Flow is useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company's performance with its competitors. Although Attributable 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 Attributable Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.
The presentation of non-GAAP Attributable Free Cash Flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders as an indicator of the Company's performance, or as an alternative to Net cash provided by (used in) 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 Attributable 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 Attributable Free Cash Flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Attributable 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 Attributable 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.

Net Debt
Net Debt is calculated as Debt and Lease and other financing obligations less Cash and cash equivalents , as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash and cash equivalents are subtracted from Debt and Lease and other financing obligations as these could be used to reduce the Company's debt obligations.

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio
Management uses net debt to Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's operating performance, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA represents the ratio of the Company's debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA does 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 does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Although Net Debt to 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 net debt to Adjusted EBITDA measure is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that net debt to 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 net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is 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 EBITDA as follows:

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, copper, silver, lead, and zinc sales by the consolidated gold ounces, copper pounds, silver ounces, lead pounds and zinc 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, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum are by-products often obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. In our GAAP 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, silver, lead, and zinc are co-products, or a significant resource in the primary ore-body, and the revenue is recorded as Sales in our GAAP 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, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum production as a by-product, even when copper, silver, lead or zinc is a significant resource in the primary ore-body. These metrics are calculated by subtracting copper, silver, lead, and zinc 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 Assumptions , and Notes :
This news 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. Where a forward-looking statement 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. Forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition; and often contain words such as "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "will," "would," "estimate," "expect," "believe," "pending" or "potential." Forward-looking statements in this news release may include, without limitation, (i) estimates of future production and sales, including production outlook, average future production; (ii) estimates of future costs applicable to sales and all-in sustaining costs; (iii) estimates of future capital expenditures, including development and sustaining capital; (iv) expectations regarding the development of the Cadia Panel Caves including with respect to production and capital cost estimates; (v) expectations regarding share and debt repurchases; (vi) estimates of future cost reductions, synergies, including pre-tax synergies, savings and efficiencies, Full Potential and productivity improvements, and future cash flow enhancements through portfolio optimization, (vii) expectations regarding Newmont's go-forward portfolio is focused on Tier 1 assets; (viii) expectations regarding future investments or divestitures, including of non-core assets and assets designated as held for sale; (ix) expectations regarding free cash flow and returns to stockholders, including with respect to future dividends and future share repurchases; and (x) other outlook, including, without limitation, Q4 2024 Outlook, 2024 Outlook and other future operating, reclamation, remediation, and financial metrics. 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 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 U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar, as well as other exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead and oil; (vi) prices for key supplies; (vii) the accuracy of current mineral reserve, mineral resource and mineralized material estimates; and (viii) other planning assumptions. Uncertainties include those relating to general macroeconomic uncertainty and changing market conditions, changing restrictions on the mining industry in the jurisdictions in which we operate, impacts to supply chain, including price, availability of goods, ability to receive supplies and fuel, and impacts of changes in interest rates. Such uncertainties could result in operating sites being placed into care and maintenance and impact estimates, costs and timing of projects. Uncertainties in geopolitical conditions could impact certain planning assumptions, including, but not limited to commodity and currency prices, costs and supply chain availabilities.
Future dividends beyond the dividend payable on December 23, 2024 to holders of record at the close of business on November 27, 2024 have not yet been approved or declared by the Board of Directors, and an annualized dividend payout or dividend yield has not been declared by the Board. Management's expectations with respect to future dividends are "forward-looking statements" and are non-binding. The declaration and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be determined based on Newmont's financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects, gold and commodity prices, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
Investors are also cautioned that the extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including trading volume, market conditions, legal requirements, business conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full $2.0 billion amount during the 24 month authorization period.
Expectations regarding the closing of the sale the Akyem mine in Ghana and the Telfer mine and interest in the Havieron project in Western Australia and related receipt of proceeds and deferred consideration are forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that the closing of the Telfer/Havieron sale remains conditional on satisfaction of certain conditions including: (i) Newmont and Greatland receiving approval for the transaction from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB); (ii) transfer of key approvals and tenements; (iii) assignment of key contracts and leases; (iv) obtaining specific environmental licenses; (iv) restart of operations at Telfer following remediation of TSF8; and (v) other customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, expected gross proceeds of up to $475 million, which include cash consideration of $207.5 million, due upon on closing, equity consideration of $167.5 million in the form of Greatland shares, to be issued upon closing and deferred contingent cash consideration of up to $100 million. No assurance can be provided with respect to deferred consideration which may be payable to Newmont in cash through a gold price linked payment structure with a 50% price upside participation by Newmont in respect of gold produced from Havieron for 5 calendar years following the declaration of commercial production, subject to a hurdle price of $1,850/oz. Deferred consideration for the relevant year will be equal to 50% x (market price – hurdle price) x sum of total gold sold for the relevant year (inc. doré and concentrate), subject to the annual cap and the total cap. The closing of the Akyem transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent, including but not limited to, Zijin obtaining the necessary filings, approvals, or registrations from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the People's Republic of China, and the parties receipt of a no objections letter from the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources of the Republic of Ghana. A failure to satisfy these conditions precedent would delay and/or prevent closing of the transaction. Similarly, receipt of $900 million in cash consideration is subject to closing of the transaction, and an additional $100 million in cash consideration is expected to be paid after the earliest to occur of the ratification of the extended eastern mining lease by the Parliament of Ghana, the ratification of a replacement mining lease to the extended eastern mining lease by the Parliament of Ghana and the five year anniversary of the closing date. The purchase price payable at the closing is subject to adjustments for closing cash, working capital, inventory, finished goods inventory, and other customary purchase price adjustment items.
For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors that might impact future looking statements, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 29, 2024, under the heading "Risk Factors", and other factors identified in the Company's reports filed with the SEC, available on the SEC website or at www.newmont.com . 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 also encouraged to review our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, expected to be filed on, or about October 24, 2024.
Notice Regarding Reserve and Resource:
Unless otherwise stated herein, the reserves stated in this release represent estimates at December 31, 2023, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Estimates of proven and probable reserves are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, or will be, to a large extent, based on metal prices and interpretations of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other exploration techniques, which data may not necessarily be indicative of future results. Additionally, resource does not indicate proven and probable reserves as defined by the SEC or the Company's standards. Estimates of measured, indicated and inferred resource are subject to further exploration and development, and are, therefore, subject to considerable uncertainty. Inferred resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. The Company cannot be certain that any part or parts of the resource will ever be converted into reserves.
