Newmont Reports Reserves and Resources with Notable Additions

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 17, 2016--Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (Newmont or the Company) reported gold reserves of 73.7 million ounces and copper reserves of 5.7 billion pounds for 2015.

The Company added 5.0 million ounces of reserves through exploration and 4.0 million ounces through the acquisition of Cripple Creek and Victor (CC&V), more than offsetting depletion of 6.5 million ounces. Notable gold reserve additions for the year include 1.1 million ounces at Kalgoorlie, 1.0 million ounces at Carlin underground, 0.8 million ounces at Tanami and 0.8 million ounces at Subika. Overall gold reserve grades rose slightly from the prior year to 1.06 grams per tonne. Gold resource additions¹ include 0.9 million ounces at Subika, 0.8 million ounces at Carlin underground, 0.7 million ounces at Tanami, and 0.5 million ounces at Ahafo.

Divestments, price changes and revisions offset these gains. Gold reserves were calculated at $1,200 per ounce, down from $1,300 per ounce in 2014, resulting in a negative 3.0 million ounce revision due to price. The largest price impact was at Akyem where a marginally economic layback, not included in the current mine plan, was moved to resources. Newmont also moved 6.5 million ounces of reserves at Conga to resources due to the expiration of certain operating and construction permits as well as uncertain prospects for future development and permitting.

Newmont reported 37.8 million ounces of attributable Measured and Indicated gold resources and 15.3 million ounces attributable Inferred gold resources in 2015. Total attributable gold resources increased by 10.4 million ounces or 24% from the prior year. The Company added 4.3 million ounces through exploration and 6.1 million ounces through the addition of CC&V, which more than offset conversions of 5.5 million ounces and divestments of 1.2 million ounces. Gold resources were calculated at $1,400 per ounce, unchanged from the prior year.

Newmont also reported 5.7 billion pounds of attributable copper reserves, 9.7 billion pounds of attributable Measured and Indicated copper resources and 1.9 billion pounds attributable Inferred copper resources. Copper reserves were down from 2014 primarily due to the reclassification of Conga reserves. Copper reserves were calculated at $2.75 per pound, down from $3.00 per pound in 2014. Copper resources were calculated at $3.50 per pound, unchanged from 2014.

Attributable Proven and Probable silver reserves for 2015 were 113 million ounces. Attributable Measured and Indicated silver resources for 2015 were 89 million ounces, with additional Inferred silver resources of 26 million ounces. Silver reserves and resources were calculated using prices of $19.00 and $24.00 per ounce, respectively, down from $20.00 and $25.00, respectively from 2014.

¹ Divestments include Regis and La Zanja equity reserves, which were removed from reported reserves. Resources include measured, indicated and inferred resources; totals may not add up due to rounding.

Gold Reserve Sensitivity

A $100 increase in gold price would result in an approximate 6% increase in gold reserves while a $100 decrease in gold price would result in an approximate 5% decrease in gold reserves. These sensitivities assume an oil price of $75 per barrel (WTI) and an Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.80.

For additional details on Newmont’s reported Gold, Copper and Silver Mineral Reserves and Resources, please refer to the tables at the end of this release.

Exploration Planned Activity

Newmont’s 2016 attributable exploration budget is approximately $185 million. Of this amount, the Company expects to spend about 45% in North America, 15% in South America, and the rest split between Asia Pacific, Africa and other locations. Of the total attributable exploration budget, Newmont expects to spend approximately 75% on near mine and brownfields exploration activities, with the balance allocated to greenfields programs.

Reserve and Resource Tables

Proven and Probable reserves are based on extensive drilling, sampling, mine modeling and metallurgical testing from which we determine economic feasibility. Metal price assumptions follow SEC guidance not to exceed a three year trailing average. The price sensitivity of reserves depends upon several factors including grade, metallurgical recovery, operating cost, waste-to-ore ratio and ore type. Metallurgical recovery rates vary depending on the metallurgical properties of each deposit and the production process used. The reserve tables included in this release list the average metallurgical recovery rate for each deposit, which takes into account the assumed processing methods. The cut-off grade, or lowest grade of mineralized material considered economic to process, varies with material type, price, metallurgical recoveries, operating costs and co- or by-product credits. The Proven and Probable reserve figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation. No assurance can be given that the indicated levels of recovery of gold and copper will be realized. Ounces of gold and silver or pounds of copper included in the proven and probable reserves are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production. Market fluctuations in the price of gold or copper, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could render certain proven and probable reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic to exploit and might result in a reduction of reserves.

The Measured, Indicated, and Inferred resource figures presented herein are estimates based on information available at the time of calculation and are exclusive of reserves. A “Mineral Resource” is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the earth’s crust in such form, grade, or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories. Ounces of gold and silver or pounds of copper included in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources are those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. Market fluctuations in the price of gold and copper, as well as increased production costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could change future estimates of resources. Please refer to the reserves and resources legal cautionary note at the end of the release.

We publish reserves and resources annually, and will recalculate reserves and resources at year-end 2016, taking into account metal prices, changes, if any, in future production and capital costs, mine designs, model changes, divestments and depletion as well as any acquisitions and additions during 2016.

Cautionary Statement regarding Reserves and Resources:

The “reserves” disclosed in this release have been prepared in compliance with Industry Guide 7 published by the SEC. As used in this news release, the term “reserve” means that part of a mineral deposit that can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The term “economically,” as used in this definition, means that profitable extraction or production has been established or analytically demonstrated in a feasibility study to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment and market assumptions. The term “legally,” as used in this definition, does not imply that all permits needed for mining and processing have been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely resolved. However, for a reserve to exist, Newmont must have a justifiable expectation, based on applicable laws and regulations, that issuance of permits or resolution of legal issues necessary for mining and processing at a particular deposit will be accomplished in the ordinary course and in a timeframe consistent with Newmont’s current mine plans. Reserves in this news release are aggregated from the Proven and Probable classes.

The terms “resources” and “Measured, Indicated and Inferred resources” are used in this news release. Investors are advised that the SEC does not recognize these terms. Newmont has determined that such “resources” would be substantively the same as those prepared using the Guidelines established by the Society of Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) and defined as “Mineral Resource”. Estimates of resources are subject to further exploration and development, are subject to additional risks, and no assurance can be given that they will eventually convert to future reserves. Inferred Resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Also, disclosure of contained ounces is permitted under the SME Guideline and other regulatory guidelines, such as Canada’s NI 43-101 and Australia’s JORC. However, the SEC generally requires mineral resource information in SEC-filed documents to be reported only as in-place tonnage and grade. Investors are reminded that even if significant mineralization is discovered and converted to reserves, during the time necessary to ultimately move such mineralization to production the economic feasibility of production may change. See the Company’s Annual Report for the “Proven and Probable Reserve” and “Mineralized Material” tables prepared in compliance with the SEC’s Industry Guide 7, available at http://www.newmont.com/our-investors/financial-reporting/sec-filings and on www.sec.gov. Investors are reminded that the tables presented in the Annual Report are estimates as of December 31, 2015 and were presented on an attributable basis reflecting the Company’s ownership interest at such time.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements:

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, estimates and expectations of future exploration expenditures and activities. 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 or implied by the “forward-looking statements”. For a discussion of such risks relating to our business and other factors, see the Company’s Form 10-K, filed on or about February 17, 2016, with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.” 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.
