Production and Development Properties

Production Properties

Newmont’s properties described below are in the production stage and are operated by Newmont, unless otherwise noted. Production and other operating statistics are presented below in the Operating Statistics section for each site. At December 31, 2025, the Lihir, Cadia, Boddington, and NGM properties are classified as material individual properties under Regulation S-K 1300 and additional details are provided for these properties accordingly. Additionally, the "Ahafo Complex", which includes the Company's Ahafo South and Ahafo North properties, is classified as material under Regulation S-K 1300.

Lihir, Papua New Guinea. (100% owned) Lihir is an open pit mine located near the town of Londolovit on Aniolam Island, approximately 560 miles (900 kilometers) northeast of Port Moresby, the national capital. Access to Aniolam Island is through the Kunaye airport located approximately 4 miles (7 kilometers) north of the mine. Newcrest acquired the Lihir mine in 2010. Newmont obtained the 100% ownership of Lihir when Newmont acquired Newcrest in 2023.The Lihir deposit is considered to be an example of an epithermal gold deposit. Aniolam Island is part of a 155 mile (250-kilometers) long, northwest-trending, alkalic volcanic island chain that sits within an area where several micro-plates (Solomon Sea Plate, South Bismarck Plate and North Bismarck Plate) developed between the converging Australian and South Pacific plates. Lihir comprises two Plio–Pleistocene volcanic blocks, Londolovit Block and Wurtol Wedge and three Pleistocene volcanic edifices, Huniho, Kinami, and Luise.

Lihir consists of a granted Special Mining Lease, two granted Mining Leases, one granted Exploration License, five granted Leases for Mining Purposes, and three Mining Easements held in the name of Lihir Gold. All leases expire in March 2035, except the

Exploration License and two Mining leases, which are subject to renewal. The total area under license is approximately 63,506 acres (25,700 hectares). Lihir is situated on land held variously under customary, State of PNG, and private ownership, including under State of PNG lease. The bulk of the land that is or will be affected by development, operations and closure of the Lihir Operations is customary owned. Newmont has been granted rights to undertake mining and processing of gold and related activities, through negotiations with the state and local government, and landowners in the area. Environment Permits for water extraction and waste disposal are in place to support mining operations. The Londolovit River is the main source of water for the process plant and surrounding area.

A 2% royalty is payable to the State on the realized prices of all gold and silver bullion sold, less transport and refining costs. In addition, a production levy of 0.5% is also payable to the PNG Mineral Resource Authority on the gross income from the sale of the minerals (i.e., excluding the offsets of treatment and refining charges, payable terms and freight) and other income derived from or in connection with the mining operations.

Operations at Lihir are conducted using a fleet of nine hydraulic shovels and 40 haul trucks, with payload ranging from 90 to 131 tonnes. The process plant consists of crushing and grinding followed by the option of bulk sulphide flotation, then pressure oxidation, and recovery of gold from washed oxidized slurry using conventional cyanidation and electrowinning. For tailings management, Lihir utilizes deep-sea tailings placement in a suitable deep-ocean location. The plant has undergone a number of alterations and expansions since first commissioning in 1997. Lihir’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2025 was $3,970.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Lihir reported 16.0 million and 15.8 million ounces of gold reserves, respectively. The gold reserves remained consistent in 2025 compared to 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Lihir reported 20.7 million and 20.4 million ounces of gold resources, respectively. The gold resources remained consistent in 2025 compared to 2024.

Cadia, Australia. (100% owned) Cadia is located approximately 16 miles (25 kilometers) south-southwest of the town of Orange in New South Wales ("NSW") and is accessible primarily by paved roads and through the Orange airport located approximately 8 miles (13 kilometers) northeast of the Cadia Operations. The Cadia Operations consist of six granted mining leases and five granted exploration licenses and one granted Exploration Prospecting License through NSW encompassing a total area of 43,720 acres (17,693 hectares). Newmont predominantly owns all properties covered by the mining leases and a number of properties in the surrounding area. The main mining lease expires in October 2038 but can be renewed. Newcrest acquired the Cadia mine in 1991. Newmont obtained the 100% ownership of Cadia when Newmont acquired Newcrest in 2023.

The NSW government levies a royalty rate of 4% for gold, silver, copper, and molybdenum based on revenue. Treatment costs, depreciation, realization, and administration costs are allowable deductions from revenue for royalty calculations.

Cadia consists of the Cadia East, Cadia Hill, Cadia Extended, and Ridgeway deposits which consist of alkalic porphyry gold-copper style mineralization and the Big Cadia deposit which is a skarn-style occurrence.

Cadia operates two adjacent concentrators, Concentrator 1 and Concentrator 2, currently treating ore from Cadia East mine. Both concentrators have undergone throughput upgrades, including operational improvements, over the years. Water supply at Cadia is sourced from the Cadiangullong Dam, Upper Rodds Creek Dam, Flyers Creek Weir, Cadia Creek Weir, Orange Sewage Treatment Plant treated effluent, on-site groundwater bores, Belubula River, and site runoff. Cadia sources all of its power from the National Electricity Market. Cadia is currently under an electricity supply agreement and holds a power purchase agreement.

Production mining is an underground panel cave mining from Cadia East with underground crushing and conveyor to surface. The processing plant infrastructure includes high pressure grinding rolls, SAG mills, ball mills, flotation, coarse ore flotation, gravity concentrator and a molybdenum plant to produce copper and gold concentrate, gold doré, and molybdenum concentrate. The available primary production fleet consists of 28 underground production loaders with an average 18 tonne payload. Cadia’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2025 was $6,321.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Cadia reported 13.5 million and 14.1 million ounces of gold reserves, respectively, 2.9 million and 3.1 million tonnes of copper reserves, respectively, 21.8 million and 22.8 million ounces of silver reserves, respectively and 0.1 million and 0.1 million tonnes of molybdenum reserves, respectively. This represents a decrease of approximately 6% in copper reserves in 2025 compared to 2024; gold, silver, molybdenum reserves remained consistent.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Cadia reported 11.0 million and 19.5 million ounces of gold resources, 2.9 million and 4.2 million tonnes of copper resources, 22.5 million and 34.0 million ounces of silver resources, and 0.1 million and 0.1 million tonnes of molybdenum resources. These changes represent a decrease of approximately 44% in gold resources, a decrease of approximately 31% in copper resources, and a decrease of approximately 34% in silver resources in 2025 compared to 2024. Molybdenum resources remained consistent. The overall reduction in resources is primarily due to negative technical revisions.

Tanami and Boddington, Australia. Newmont’s Tanami and Boddington operations in Australia take place on land that falls under the custodianship of Aboriginal people. Aboriginal land rights in Australia, which recognize the traditional rights and customs of Aboriginal people, are governed by the Commonwealth Native Title Act and certain other Acts specific to individual states and territories. The Commonwealth Native Title Act was enacted in 1993 following a decision in the High Court of Australia, which held that Aboriginal people, who have maintained a continuing connection with their land according to their traditional laws and customs, may hold certain rights which should be recognized under Australian common law. In the Northern Territory, where the Tanami operation is located, the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (“ALRA”) was introduced in 1976, which established an Aboriginal Land rights regime. Under the ALRA, approximately 50% of the land in the Northern Territory was granted as inalienable Aboriginal freehold titled land.

Newmont has existing agreements with the Traditional Owner groups of the land utilized by our Tanami and Boddington operations. Any future agreements would depend on a determination of native title, which is likely to take many years. If successful, a native title determination could give rights to compensation claims in the future. Throughout Australia, new exploratory and mining tenements may require native title agreements to be entered into and will be subject to a negotiation process, which often gives rise to compensation payments and heritage survey protocols. Newmont does not consider that native title claims or determined areas where rights have been established are an impediment to the operation of existing mines.

In Australia, various ad valorem royalties and taxes are paid to state and territorial governments, typically based on a percentage of gross revenues or earnings. Aboriginal groups have negotiated compensation/royalty payments as a condition to granting access to areas where native title rights are determined or where they own the land.

Tanami, Australia. (100% owned) Tanami is located in the Northern Territory approximately 342 miles (550 kilometers) northwest of Alice Springs. The underground mining infrastructure and operation is located at Dead Bullock Soak (“DBS”). The processing infrastructure is located 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the east of the mining operations at the Granites. Ore is transported by road train from DBS underground to the processing facility at the Granites.

The Newmont Tanami Operations are comprised of exploration licenses encompassing a total area of 1,540,301 acres (623,339 hectares) including 556,545 acres (225,226 hectares) relating to the Tobruk and Monza Joint Ventures entered into with Prodigy Gold, and 44,333 acres (17,941 hectares) relating to a Joint Venture entered into with Top End Exploration Pty Ltd, for which Newmont is the operator, and 44,333 acres (17,941 hectares) relating to the Terry's South Joint Venture entered into with JRE. An additional, 11,025 acres (4,462 hectares) of mineral leases granted pursuant to the Northern Territory Mineral Titles Act. Newmont operates through exploration and mining agreements with the Central Land Council who represent Traditional Owners, the Warlpiri people.

Tanami consists of sediment hosted sheeted quartz vein mineralization. Tanami, as an underground mining operation, has a fleet of ten underground loaders, 22 haul trucks, each with 60 to 65-tonne payloads, and one ejector truck with a 45 tonne capacity. Processing plant facilities currently consist of a crushing plant, a grinding circuit, a gravity circuit, carbon in pulp and absorption tanks, thickeners and a conventional tailings storage facility. Tanami’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2025 was $3,965. Tanami reported 5.3 million ounces of gold reserves at December 31, 2025.

Brownfield exploration and development for new reserves is ongoing with the main focus being underground ore definition drilling of the Auron, Federation and Liberator ore bodies as well as exploration of the Oberon deposit. Surface drilling continues to test targets with Exploration Upside, proximal to known Tanami mineralization.

Boddington, Australia. (100% owned) Boddington is located 81 miles (130 kilometers) southeast of Perth in Western Australia and is accessible primarily by paved road. Boddington has been wholly owned since June 2009 when Newmont acquired the final 33.33% interest from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited.The Boddington project area comprises 52,065 acres (21,070 hectares) of mining tenure leased from the State of Western Australia, of which 26,910 acres (10,890 hectares) is subleased from the South 32 Worsley Joint Venturers ("Worsley JV"). The total project area is comprised of multiple leases that expire between 2027 and 2046. Royalties are paid to the state government at 2.5% for gold and 5% for copper based on revenue. Shipping and treatment and refining costs are allowable deductions from revenue for royalty calculations for copper. Newmont owns 74,474 acres (30,139 hectares) of rural freehold property, some of which overlaps existing mining tenure. The majority of its current operational area is located on its freehold property.

The subleases from the Worsley JV expire immediately prior to the expiry of the relevant mining leases. Newmont holds rights to renew the subleases. The mining leases are renewable upon application to the State of Western Australia by the Worsley JV. As these mining leases are in their third term, renewal of these mining leases is at the discretion of the State. The subleases do not confer an express right to require the Worsley JV to seek application to renew the mining leases. Newmont is entitled to all gold and other non-bauxite mineralization conferred by the mining leases. The Worsley JV retains the rights to bauxite mineralization. The relationship between the Worsley JV bauxite operations and the Boddington gold operations are regulated through a cross-operation agreement. This agreement confers priority on the bauxite operations such that the bauxite/alumina mining operations of the Worsley JV will take priority over the gold mining operations and Newmont is required to take reasonable measures to conserve bauxite including by mining and stockpiling bauxite on behalf of the Worsley JV.

Boddington consists of greenstone diorite hosted mineralization and exploration activities continue to develop the known reserve. The mine operates two pits (North and South Pits), utilizing two electric shovels, and three excavators as its prime ex-pit material movers with a fleet of 41 production autonomous haulage trucks. Boddington has a current capacity to mine approximately 200,000 to 250,000 tonnes of material per day. The milling plant includes a three-stage crushing facility (two primary crushers, six secondary crushers and four high-pressure grinding rolls), four ball mills, a flotation circuit and a carbon-in-leach circuit. The flotation circuit process recovers gold-copper concentrate before the material is then processed by a traditional carbon-in-leach circuit where the remaining gold is recovered to produce doré. Mining operations consist of two open pit operations located adjacent to each other. Boddington’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2025 was $4,976.

Power for the operation is sourced through the local power grid under a long-term power purchase agreement with Bluewaters Power. The power supply contract with Bluewaters expires in 2031 and includes an option to extend.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Boddington reported 10.2 million and 10.8 million ounces of gold reserves, respectively, and 0.5 million and 0.5 million tonnes of copper reserves, respectively. This represents a decrease of approximately 6% in gold reserves, while copper reserves remained consistent in 2025 compared to 2024. The reduction in gold reserves is primarily due to depletion and negative technical revisions.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Boddington reported 4.4 million and 4.3 million ounces of gold resources, respectively, and 0.3 million and 0.3 million tonnes of copper resources, respectively. The gold and copper resources remained consistent in 2025 compared to 2024.

Ahafo South and Ahafo North, Ghana. The Company's Ahafo South and Ahafo North properties are together known as the Ahafo Complex and together are classified as material properties under Regulation S-K 1300. All of Newmont’s operations in Africa are located in Ghana. In December 2003, Ghana’s Parliament unanimously ratified an Investment Agreement (“IA”) between Newmont and the government of Ghana. The IA established a fixed fiscal and legal regime, including fixed royalty and tax rates, for the life of any Newmont project in Ghana. In December 2015, Ghana’s Parliament ratified the Revised Investment Agreements (“Ghana Investment Agreements” or “Revised IAs”).

The Revised IAs contain commitments with respect to job training for local Ghanaians, community development, purchasing of local goods, services and environmental protection, and also include a change in tax stabilization from life of mine to 15 years from commercial production for each mine. In October 2017, the government of Ghana approved Newmont’s request to extend the stability period of the Revised IAs at the Ahafo operations for five years to December 31, 2025.

The maximum corporate income tax rate was previously 32.5% under the Revised IAs; however, upon the expiration of the tax stability extension on December 31, 2025, the Company’s operations in Ghana have become subject to a maximum corporate income tax rate of 35% and customs duties on imported goods used in mining operations ranging from 5% to 20% of the value of such items.

Royalties were paid to the Government of Ghana under a sliding‑scale system, based on average monthly gold prices and ranging up to 5% of revenues, plus an additional 0.6% on any production from forest reserve areas. The sliding-scale royalty regime expired on December 31, 2025. Effective January 1, 2026, royalties transitioned to a fixed 5% rate on gold production, with the additional 0.6% forest reserve royalty continuing to apply where applicable.

The government of Ghana is also entitled to receive 10% of a project’s net cash flow after reaching specific production milestones by receiving 1/9th of the total amount paid as dividends to Newmont parent. When the average quoted gold price exceeds $1,300 per ounce within a calendar year, an advance payment on these amounts of 0.6% of total revenues is required. Upon the expiration of the tax extension regime on December 31, 2025, dividends paid in addition to the carried interest will become subject to an 8% withholding tax, effective January 1, 2026.

The Company is now also be subject to a Growth and Sustainability Levy of 3% on gross revenue. As a result, the Company will also be exposed to future changes in fiscal, tax, and other related regulatory regimes in Ghana as they may be enacted from time to time. For instance, the Government of Ghana has announced plans to amend the country’s mineral royalty regime by replacing the flat 5% royalty rate, which became effective on January 1, 2026, with a sliding scale ranging from 5% to 12%, linked to prevailing gold prices. The proposed amendment was submitted to the Ghanaian Parliament on December 19, 2025, and is expected to be considered when parliamentary sessions resume in February 2026. If enacted, the revised royalty framework could increase the Company’s operating costs at its Ghanaian operations, particularly during periods of higher gold prices. The timing, final structure, and implementation mechanisms of the proposed regime currently remain uncertain.

Ahafo South, Ghana.(100% owned) Ahafo South is located near Kenyasi in the Ahafo Region of Ghana, approximately 180 miles (290 kilometers) northwest of the national capital city of Accra, and is largely accessible by paved roads. In 2002, Newmont acquired 50% of Ahafo South as a result of the merger with Normandy. In 2003, Newmont purchased the remaining interest from Moydow Mines International Inc. (“Moydow”), thereby making it a wholly owned subsidiary. The Ahafo South mine is composed of three orogenic gold deposits that have oxide and primary mineralization. Gold occurs primarily in pyrite and secondarily as native gold in quartz veins.

The Ahafo South operations are comprised of three mining leases issued under the Ghanaian Mining Act encompassing a total area of approximately 137,222 acres (55,532 hectares) with current mine take area of approximately 13,698 acres (5,543 hectares) that has been fully compensated and approximately 11,216 acres (4,539 hectares) of mining area that has not been fully compensated (e.g. payment would be necessary to move people from their land). The mining leases grant the exclusive rights to work, develop and produce gold in the lease area, including the processing, storing and transportation of mineral and materials. The mining leases require Ahafo South to respect or perform certain financial and statutory reporting obligations and expire in 2031 and are renewable subject to certain conditions. Ahafo South pays a royalty of 2% on net smelter returns to Franco-Nevada for all gold ounces recovered from areas previously owned by Moydow.

Ahafo South sources all of its power from the National Electricity Market. Ahafo South is currently under an electricity supply agreement and holds a power purchase agreement. Power for the operation is sourced through the local power grid under a long-term power purchase agreement with the Volta River Authority. The power supply contract with Volta River Authority expires in 2028 and includes an option to extend.

Ahafo South currently operates one open pit, following the completion of the Subika open pit in July 2025. The active pit is Awonsu, which is being mined concurrently in two phases: (Layback 3 and Layback 4). Subika added an underground operation, which reached commercial production in November 2018, and Awonsu completed a layback in November 2019. The available mining fleet for surface mining consists of three shovels and 36 haul trucks, each with 141-tonne payload. The available mining fleet for underground mining consists of eight underground loaders and 14 haul trucks, with payload ranging from 55 to 57 tonnes. The daily production rate is approximately 88,000 tonnes. The original processing plant was commissioned in 2006.

The current processing plant consists of two crushing plants, two grinding circuits, carbon-in-leach circuits, elution circuit, counter current decantation circuit, a tailings disposal facility, and a reverse osmosis water treatment plant. Ahafo South’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2025 was $2,982.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Ahafo South reported 4.1 million and 4.6 million ounces of gold reserves, respectively. This change represents a decrease of approximately 11% in gold reserves in 2025 compared to 2024. The overall reduction in gold reserves is primarily due to depletion.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Ahafo South reported 7.4 million and 5.1 million ounces of gold resources, respectively. This change represents an increase of approximately 45% in gold resources in 2025 compared to 2024. The overall increase in gold resources is primarily due to ounces added from exploration activities.

Ahafo North, Ghana. (100% owned) Ahafo North operation achieved commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is located approximately 31 miles (50 kilometers) northeast of Ahafo South and approximately 236 miles (380 kilometers) northwest of the capital city of Accra, Ghana accessible by paved road. In July 2021, the Board of Directors approved full funding for the Ahafo North project. The operation currently includes a mill and two active pits, with a third pit expected to commence operations in early 2026.

Ahafo North sources its power from the Ghana national grid through a long-term power purchase agreement with the Volta River Authority. This contract is valid through 2028 and includes an option for renewal. Water is also sourced from Susuan River, Boreholes 1 and 5, rainfall water, and from the sediments control structures.

The Ahafo North operation is comprised of one mining lease issued under the Ghanaian Mining Act encompassing a total area of approximately 465 kilometers with current mine take area of approximately 7,338 acres (2,970 hectares) that has been fully compensated and approximately 2,623 acres (1,061 hectares) of mining area that has not been fully compensated (e.g. payment would be necessary to resettle the community). The mining lease grants the exclusive rights to work, develop and produce gold in the lease area, including the processing, storing and transportation of mineral and materials. The mining lease requires Ahafo North to respect or perform certain financial and statutory reporting obligations and expires in 2031 and is renewable subject to certain conditions.

The Ahafo North mine is comprised of six open pit orogenic gold deposits with both oxide and primary mineralization. Ahafo North currently has two active pits, Subenso South and Susuan. The available mining fleet for surface mining consists of 3 shovels and 16 haul trucks to increase to 20 in 2026, each with 74.6 and 86.5 tonne payload for saprolite and primary materials respectively. Daily production rate is approximately 66,000 tonnes. The processing plant was commissioned in October 2025, with a plant capacity to process approximately 3.7 million tonnes per year. The current processing plant consists of one jaw crusher, SAG and ball mill combination, carbon-in-leach circuit, elution circuit, counter current decantation circuit, and a tailings disposal facility currently constructed to phase two of the life of mine plan. Ahafo North’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2025 was $1,114.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Ahafo North reported 4.7 million and 4.6 million ounces of gold reserves, respectively. The gold reserves remained consistent in 2025 compared to 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Ahafo North reported 3.2 million and 2.6 million ounces of gold resources, respectively. This change represents an increase of approximately 23% in gold resources in 2025 compared to 2024. The overall increase in gold resources is primarily due to net positive technical revisions.

NGM, Nevada, U.S. (38.5% owned) NGM is located in Elko, Nevada. On July 1, 2019, Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement, which combined the Company’s Nevada mining operations with Barrick’s Nevada mining operations resulting in the establishment of NGM, a joint venture with Barrick, who is the operator, and which is accounted for by the Company under proportionate consolidation. NGM operations are primarily accessible by paved road and are comprised of 180,921 acres (73,217 hectares) in aggregate including Cortez 53,999 acres (21,853 hectares), Carlin 58,255 acres (23,575 hectares), Turquoise Ridge 26,679 acres (10,797 hectares), Phoenix 17,900 acres (7,244 hectares), and Long Canyon 24,088 acres (9,748 hectares).

All sites at NGM contain open pit operations while Cortez, Carlin, and Turquoise Ridge also include underground operations. At Cortez, mineralization is sedimentary rock-hosted and consists of submicron to micrometer-sized gold particles and gold in solid solution in pyrite. Refractory ore is transported to Carlin for processing. Phoenix is a skarn-hosted polymetallic massive sulfide replacement deposit. The Phoenix mill produces a gravity gold concentrate and a copper/gold flotation concentrate and recovers additional gold from cyanide leaching of the flotation tails. Carlin and Turquoise Ridge are a sediment-hosted disseminated gold deposit.

In Nevada, mining taxes are assessed on up to 5% of net proceeds of a mine. During 2021, the Nevada legislature enacted a new excise tax which is assessed up to 1.1% of gross revenues.

NGM owns, or controls through leases, fee ownership, and unpatented mining claims, all of the minerals and surface area within the boundaries of the present Nevada mining operations. The long-term leases extend for at least the anticipated mine life of those deposits. With respect to a significant portion of the Gold Quarry mine at Carlin, NGM pays a net smelter royalty equivalent to 16.2% of the mineral production. NGM wholly-owns or controls the remainder of the Gold Quarry mineral rights, in some cases subject to additional royalties. With respect to certain smaller deposits in Nevada, NGM is obligated to pay royalties on production to third parties that vary from 1% to 8% of production.

Each site has its own process facilities which include: an oxide mill, which consists of a crushing and grinding circuit and carbon-in-leach circuit, and two heap leach pads at Cortez; an autoclave, two roasters, an oxide mill/flotation circuit and three heap leach pads at Carlin; the Sage autoclave, an oxide mill, and three heap leach pads at Turquoise Ridge; a flotation mill, a carbon-in-leach plant, a copper leach pad and a solvent extraction electrowinning plant at Phoenix. NGM has a current capacity across all sites to mine approximately 244,000 tonnes of material per day. The milling facilities were commissioned over a range of years beginning in the 1990’s. They undergo routine maintenance each year with process improvements implemented as the projects are identified and approved. Power is either purchased in the open market or supplied by the power plants owned and operated by NGM.

The NGM operations include, in aggregate, an open pit mining fleet consisting of 24 shovels and 154 haul trucks with an average payload of 298 tonnes, and an underground mining fleet consisting of 72 underground loaders and 88 haul trucks, with an average payload of 40 tonnes. Newmont’s share of NGM’s gross property, plant and mine development at December 31, 2025 was $9,273.
