Newmont Corporation Announces Early Results of the Tender Offers for Any and All of its 3.700% Notes due 2023 and Goldcorp's 3.700% Notes due 2023 and Related Consent Solicitations

Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) (Newmont or the Company) announced today the early results of the previously announced offers to purchase for cash any and all of the outstanding (i) 3.700% Notes due 2023 (the "Newmont Notes") issued by Newmont (the "Newmont Notes Offer") and (ii) 3.700% Notes due 2023 (the "Goldcorp Notes" and, together with the Newmont Notes, the "Notes") issued by Goldcorp Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont ("Goldcorp") (the "Goldcorp Notes Offer" and, together with the Newmont Notes Offer, the "Offers" and each, an "Offer").

The terms and conditions of the Offers and the Consent Solicitations are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated December 6, 2021 (the "Offer to Purchase"), previously distributed to holders of the Notes.

Newmont has been advised that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 17, 2021 (such date and time, the "Early Tender Deadline"), (i) $89,459,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Newmont Notes had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Newmont Notes Offer and delivered consents pursuant to the Newmont Notes Consent Solicitation, representing approximately 28% of the outstanding Newmont Notes, and (ii) $4,003,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Goldcorp Notes had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Goldcorp Notes Tender Offer and delivered consents pursuant to the Goldcorp Notes Consent Solicitation, representing approximately 4% of the outstanding Goldcorp Notes. Newmont intends to purchase all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline on December 20, 2021 or as promptly as practicable thereafter (the "Early Settlement Date").

Newmont has not obtained the Requisite Consents for the execution of supplemental indentures to amend the applicable indentures governing the Notes, as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Accordingly, supplemental indentures to the applicable indentures governing the Notes will not be executed. Any Notes not tendered and purchased pursuant to the Offers will remain outstanding and will be governed by the terms of the applicable indentures governing the Notes.

Holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration (the "Total Consideration") for such series of Notes, which includes an early tender payment of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes of such series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Offer (the "Early Tender Payment"). Holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will receive the Total Consideration equal to (i) $1,037.27 per $1,000 principal amount of Newmont Notes and (ii) $1,037.27 per $1,000 principal amount of Goldcorp Notes, in each case, as calculated in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase. In addition to the applicable Total Consideration for such series of Notes, holders of Notes of such series accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Offer from and including the most recent interest payment date to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date.

Holders of Notes of each series who have not yet tendered their Notes of such series have until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 4, 2022 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time"), to tender their Notes pursuant to the applicable Offer. Holders of the Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Deadline, but on or prior to the Expiration Time, will be eligible to receive the applicable "Tender Offer Consideration" for such series of Notes, which is an amount equal to the applicable Total Consideration less the applicable Early Tender Payment. In addition to the applicable Tender Offer Consideration for such series of Notes, holders of Notes of such series accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Offer from and including the most recent interest payment date to, but excluding, the final settlement date.

Newmont's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Newmont of certain conditions to the Offers set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the issuance and sale of debt securities by Newmont on terms satisfactory to Newmont that will generate net proceeds in an amount that is sufficient to finance the purchase of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase on or prior to the Early Settlement Date.

Notes that are not tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will remain obligations of Newmont or Goldcorp, as applicable. There is no requirement in the indentures governing the Notes or otherwise that Newmont or Goldcorp redeem any Notes, and unless redeemed, such Notes will continue to remain outstanding. Newmont and Goldcorp currently intend to send a notice of redemption to redeem any Notes that remain outstanding after the Early Settlement Date.

This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the optional redemption provisions of the Indentures. Any notice of redemption of the Notes will be delivered pursuant to separate notices of redemption delivered in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture.

The complete terms and conditions of the Offers and Consent Solicitations are set forth in the Offer to Purchase that has been sent to holders of the Notes.

Lawrence Lepard: "Big Print" Coming — Fully Expect US$5,000 Gold, US$200,000 Bitcoin

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Lawrence Lepard, managing director at EMA, voiced his thoughts on the outlook for gold and Bitcoin as the debt doom loop intensifies in the US.

"I call it a doom loop — it's a vicious circle in the wrong direction, which I believe will ultimately lead to the government having to say, 'Okay, this isn't going to work. We are going to institute yield curve control or QE, or we're going to buy the bonds,'" he explained on the sidelines of the New Orleans Investment Conference.

Lepard believes it's important to hold both gold and Bitcoin, noting that the only wrong allocation is zero.

Chris Temple: Gold's Next Leg Higher, Plus Uranium and Natural Gas in 2025

Chris Temple, founder, editor and publisher of the National Investor, outlined the main factors he sees impacting the gold price heading into 2025, saying the yellow metal will undoubtedly move higher.

In his view, its rise will come as market participants realize how many problems the US economy is facing.

"I think that once that reality sets in, gold will get its next big lease on life and the stock market is going to bog down. I think we're going to see a lot of rotation in the market that will start to favor real assets and real value — away from everybody chasing the same relative handful of stocks as we've seen," Temple explained.

The World Gold Council (WGC) has released its 2025 gold outlook, highlighting various macroeconomic factors, geopolitical risks and central bank activity as pivotal forces influencing demand and prices.

While 2024 saw gold achieve a stellar performance with a 28 percent annual increase, the outlook for 2025 is characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges stemming from both global and regional developments.

The yellow metal has benefited from its historical role as a hedge against uncertainty, but the WGC forecasts that its performance next year will depend on other key variables as well.
