Reportable Segments

Nevada Gold Mines Amended Joint Venture Agreement

On August 10, 2026, the Company and Barrick Mining Corporation ("Barrick") amended the Nevada Gold Mines ("NGM") joint venture arrangement. Pursuant to the amended agreement, certain previously excluded properties, including Barrick's Fourmile development property and the Company's Fiberline and Mike development properties, are to be contributed to NGM. The Company also agreed to contribute $1.95 billion in cash within 30 days following the contribution of the Fourmile development property. The agreement also includes enhancements to the governance provisions of the NGM joint venture, resolves all outstanding disputes between the Company and Barrick relating to NGM, and provides for the Company's consent to Barrick's proposed initial public offering of certain assets.

The contribution of thethree development properties to NGM is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, at which time the Company will recognize its 38.5% interest in Fourmile based on the consideration transferred, which will include the cash payment to Barrick and 61.5% of the fair value of Fiberline and Mike. As Fiberline and Mike have no carrying value prior to their contribution, the Company expects to recognize a gain upon completion of the transaction.

Ahafo North Reportable Segment

In October 2025, the Company declared commercial production at its Ahafo North project in Ghana resulting in classification as a reportable segment. Prior to declaration of commercial production, Ahafo North was classified as a development project, and all activity was included in the Ahafo South reportable segment up to the date of commercial production. Although not a reportable segment until the fourth quarter of 2025, the amounts related to Ahafo North have been reported separately for comparability purposes. Refer to Note 4 for further information.

Divestiture of Non-Core Assets

The Company completed the sale of the CC&V, Musselwhite, and Éléonore reportable segments in the first quarter of 2025, the sale of the Porcupine and Akyem reportable segments in the second quarter of 2025, and the sale of the Coffee development project in the fourth quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 3 for further information on divestitures.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Risks and Uncertainties

As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing commodity prices, primarily for gold, as well as copper, silver, lead, and zinc. Commodity markets have been historically very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or unfavorable movement in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital, and the economic viability of mineral reserves. The carrying values of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill are particularly sensitive to commodity price assumptions. A decline in the Company’s commodity price outlook could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.

The Company's global operations expose it to risks arising from public health crises, macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures and related monetary policy actions, and geopolitical developments. Geopolitical tensions and military activity, including military operations in Iran, Ukraine, and Venezuela, as well as the potential for additional conflicts, war, or civil unrest, may disrupt global supply chains, including cost and supply of critical materials, increase in fuel, energy, and transportation and other operating costs, and contribute to volatility in labor, financial, and commodity markets.

Additional factors that could have short- and, possibly, long-term material adverse impacts on the Company include continued volatility in commodity prices; changes in equity and debt markets or country-specific factors affecting discount rates; significant cost inflation impacting production, capital expenditures, and asset retirement costs; logistical constraints; energy market disruptions; workforce interruptions; and uncertainties related to the costs, timing, and execution of projects.

Refer to Note 17 below for further information on commitments and contingencies that could have a potential impact on the Company as well as Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts and disclosures in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, ASU 2024-03 was issued, requiring additional disclosures in the notes to the financial statements on the nature of certain expense captions presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance only impacts disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the guidance on its disclosures.

NOTE 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company regularly reviews its segment reporting for alignment with its strategic goals and operational structure as well as for evaluation of business performance and allocation of resources by Newmont’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). At September 30, 2026, the Company's 13 reportable segments consist of each of its 12 mining operations that it manages and its 38.5% proportionate interest in NGM, which it does not directly manage. Newmont consolidates Merian through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Suriname LLC., as the primary beneficiary of Merian, which is a variable interest entity.

In the following tables, Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not reflect general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income and mining taxes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance. The Company's business activities and operating segments that are not considered reportable, including all equity method investments, are reported in the non-operating segment Corporate and Other, which has been provided for reconciliation purposes.

The CODM uses Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the mine operation or reallocate for other capital priorities under the Company's capital allocation strategy. Additionally, the CODM primarily uses this metric to assess performance of the segment, plan and forecast future business operations, and benchmark to competitors.

Hedging Instruments

Hedging instruments consist of foreign currency fixed forward contracts and the Cadia PPA. To minimize credit risk, the Company only enters into transactions with counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. The Company believes that the risk of counterparty default is low and its exposure to credit risk is minimal.

Foreign Currency Fixed Forward Contracts

The Company has implemented various hedge programs in which fixed forward contracts have been entered into to mitigate variability in the USD-functional cash flows associated with specific expenditures. These fixed forward contracts have been designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges for the related forecasted expenditures and were transacted for risk management purposes. Refer to the table below for a summary of these programs at September 30, 2026:

The unrealized changes in fair value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction impacts earnings and is presented in the same statement of operations line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. If the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the related amounts will be reclassified to earnings immediately. Amounts related to capital expenditures recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings through Depreciation and amortization after the respective project reaches commercial production. Amounts related to operating expenditures recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to salesin the period that the operating expenditures are incurred.

Cadia PPA

The Cadia PPA is a 15-year renewable power purchase agreement acquired by the Company through the Newcrest transaction. The Company designated the Cadia PPA as a cash flow hedge to mitigate the variability in cash flows related to approximately 40 percent of forecasted purchases of power at the Cadia mine for a 15-year period beginning in July 2024. Additionally, the Cadia PPA provides the Company with access to large scale generation certificates which the Company intends to surrender to achieve a reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions.

The unrealized changes in fair value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified to earnings through Costs applicable to sales in the period in which the related hedged electricity is purchased, which began in July 2024. If the underlying hedge transaction becomes probable of not occurring, the related amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to earnings immediately.

The following table provides the losses (gains) reclassified to earnings from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)related to the Company's derivative instruments designated for hedging:

(1)As of September 30, 2026, a gain of $14 is expected to be reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)into earnings over the next 12 months. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings will vary due to future foreign currency exchange rates.

(2)As of September 30, 2026, a loss of $7 is expected to be reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)into earnings over the next 12 months, which includes amounts related to the initial fair value that are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings on a systematic basis over the 15-year term. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings will vary due to future power prices and power generation volumes.

(3)As of September 30, 2026, amounts remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)relate to the interest rate contracts on the 2042 Senior Notes with the related losses to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized to Interest expense, net of capitalized interest over the term of the notes. A loss of $3 is expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings could vary upon repurchase or exchange of the related long-term debt prior to maturity.

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. -100% Newmont Owned

In early 2015 and again in June 2017, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, MINAM, issued proposed modifications to water quality criteria for designated beneficial uses which apply to mining companies, including Yanacocha. These criteria modified the in-stream water quality criteria pursuant to which Yanacocha has been designing water treatment processes and infrastructure. In December 2015, MINAM issued the final regulation that modified the water quality standards. These Peruvian regulations allow time to formulate a compliance plan and make any necessary changes to achieve compliance.

In February 2017, Yanacocha submitted a modification to its previously approved compliance achievement plan to MINEM. In May 2022, Yanacocha submitted a proposed modification to this plan requesting an extension of time for coming into full compliance with the new regulations to 2027. In June 2023, Yanacocha received approval of its updated compliance plan from MINEM and was granted an extension to June 2026 to achieve compliance. The Company appealed this approval to the Mining Council requesting the regulatory extension until 2027, and in April 2024, MINEM approved the compliance schedule.

The Company currently operates five water treatment plants at Yanacocha that have been and currently meet all applicable water discharge requirements. The Company’s current asset retirement obligation includes the cost of the construction oftwo new water treatment plants expected to be in operation during 2027 and cost associated with post-closure management.

The Company is conducting detailed studies to better estimate water management and other closure activities that will ensure water quality and quantity discharge meet requirements, including the modifications promulgated by MINAM, as referenced above, will be met. This also includes performing a comprehensive update to the Yanacocha reclamation plan to address changes in closure activities and estimated closure costs while preserving optionality for potential future projects at Yanacocha. These ongoing studies, which will extend beyond the current year, continue to evaluate and revise assumptions and estimated costs of changes to the reclamation plan. The ultimate water treatment costs remain uncertain as studies and opportunity assessments continue. These and other additional risks and contingencies that are the subject of ongoing studies, including, but not limited to, a comprehensive review of the Company's tailings storage facility management, review of Yanacocha’s water balance and water management system, and review of post-closure management costs, could result in future material increases to the reclamation obligation at Yanacocha.

Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) -58.19% Newmont Owned

Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the EPA.

As per the Consent Decree approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington on January 17, 2012, the following actions were required of Newmont, Dawn, the Department of the Interior and the EPA: (i) Newmont and Dawn would design, construct and implement the cleanup plan selected by the EPA in 2006 for the Midnite mine site; (ii) Newmont and Dawn would reimburse the EPA for its past costs associated with overseeing the work; (iii) the Department of the Interior would contribute a lump sum amount toward past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site; (iv) Newmont and Dawn would be responsible for all future EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site.

During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process, with the exception of the new WTP design which was awaiting the approval of the new NPDES permit. Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and the WTP design commenced in 2018. The EPA approved the WTP design in 2021. Construction of the effluent pipeline began in 2021, and construction of the new WTP began in 2022. The WTP and effluent pipeline are expected to be operating in 2027.

The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health (the "WDOH") and is in the process of being closed in accordance with the federal Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act, and associated Washington state regulations. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The Tailing Disposal Area 1-4 reclamation earthworks component was completed during 2017 with the embankment erosion protection completed in the second quarter of 2018. The remaining closure activities consist primarily of finalizing an Alternative Concentration Limit application (the "ACL application") submitted in 2020 to the WDOH to address groundwater criteria, contaminated soils cleanup, and closure of meteoric water storage ponds. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the WDOH provided comments on the ACL application, which Newmont is evaluating and conducting studies to better understand and respond to the comments provided by the WDOH. These studies and the related comment process will extend beyond the current year and could result in future material increases to the remediation obligation.

The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $254, assumed 100% by Newmont, at September 30, 2026.

Lihir Gold Limited -100% Newmont Owned

Lihir Gold Limited (“LGL”) is engaged in an administrative review process in Papua New Guinea relating to directives issued by the Papua New Guinea Conservation and Environmental Protection Authority (“CEPA”) concerning waste oil management practices. CEPA is no longer pursuing enforcement action in relation to the March 16, 2026 Enforcement Notice concerning waste oil management practices. Following further engagement with CEPA, the matter has shifted to additional directions issued by CEPA regarding material that was previously removed from site. LGL believes those directions are inconsistent with applicable law and is pursuing available administrative review processes. The matter remains subject to ongoing administrative review. The outcome of the matter cannot be predicted with certainty.

Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd. -100% Newmont Owned

Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd. (“Cadia Holdings”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newcrest, which was acquired by Newmont in November 2023. On February 2, 2026, a class action proceeding was commenced in the Supreme Court of New South Wales against Cadia Holdings. The proceeding has been brought on behalf of the named plaintiffs and other persons who fall within a defined class of persons who owned, leased, or occupied land located within a specified area surrounding the Cadia mine during the period from February 2, 2020 to February 3, 2026, and who allege that they have suffered loss or damage as a result of alleged injury to, or interference with, that land. The plaintiffs allege that such loss or damage arose from alleged contamination associated with Cadia Holdings, including alleged contamination of land, public waterways, groundwater, and/or air. The claims assert that the alleged impacts are attributable to dust and fluid emissions from Cadia Holdings’ operations. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC -100% Newmont Owned through February 28, 2025

On February 28, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company LLC (“CC&V”) reportable segment to SSR. In March 2026, under the terms of the agreement with SSR, Newmont received $87.5 in deferred cash contingent consideration relating to the resolution of certain regulatory applications concerning the Carlton Tunnel. In addition, upon completion of an updated regulator-approved closure plan and in the event aggregate closure costs at CC&V exceed $500, Newmont will be responsible for funding 90% of the incremental closure costs exceeding $500 in such updated closure plan, either on an as-incurred basis or pursuant to a net present value lump sum payment option. Closure plans and associated cost estimates remain under development and are subject to further study and regulatory review and approval. Due to the uncertainty associated with the timing and amount of future closure costs, the ultimate cash payment under either settlement alternative may be greater than the liability accrued on Newmont’s balance sheet in Other non-current liabilities.

The Carlton Tunnel was a historic tunnel completed in 1941 with the purpose of draining the southern portion of the mining district, subsequently consolidated by CC&V. CC&V has held discharge permits for the Carlton Tunnel since 1983, primarily to focus on monitoring. The monitoring data accumulated since the mid-1970s have indicated consistency in the water quality discharged from the Carlton Tunnel over time. In 2006, legal proceedings and work with the regulator confirmed that the water flowing out of the Carlton Tunnel portal is akin to natural spring water and did not constitute mine drainage. However, when the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the “Division”) issued new discharge permits in January 2021, the Division imposed new water quality limits. A Settlement Agreement entered into by CC&V and the Division in December 2021 extended the timeframe for full permit compliance to November 2027, and CC&V expressly reserved the right to challenge the need for a discharge permit in the first place. In 2022, the Company studied various interim passive water treatment options, reported the study results to the Division, and based on an evaluation of additional semi-passive options that involve the usage of power at the portal, updated the remediation liability to $20 in 2022. CC&V continues to study alternative long-term remediation plans for water discharged from the Carlton Tunnel, while also continuing to work with regulators to identify and implement the highest feasible alternative treatments. In June 2025, the Water Quality Control Commission agreed to site specific standards for CC&V and a Discharger Specific Variance ("DSV") for certain water quality standards. In January 2026, the Division issued a modification to CC&V's discharge permit to implement site specific standards for certain water quality standards, and a DSV and compliance extension for certain other standards. Depending on the plans that may ultimately be agreed with regulators, a material adjustment to the remediation liability may be required. On March 9, 2026, Newmont and CC&V filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Colorado Water Quality Control Division seeking a declaratory judgment that federal and state law do not require the discharge permit for the Carlton Tunnel outflows, and subsequently amended the complaint. On June 26, 2026, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. Newmont and CC&V opposed the motion. The motion was fully briefed in August 2026 and is pending review by the court.

Other Legal Matters

Newmont Corporation, as well as Newmont Canada Corporation, and Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC –100% Newmont Owned

Kirkland Lake Gold Inc., which was acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited in 2022 (still referred to herein as “Kirkland” for ease of reference), owns certain mining and mineral rights in northeastern Ontario, Canada, referred to here as the Holt-McDermott property, on which it suspended operations in April 2020. A subsidiary of the Company has a retained royalty obligation (“Holt royalty obligation”) to Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”) for production on the Holt-McDermott property. In August 2020, the Company and Kirkland signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Kirkland Agreement”). As part of the Kirkland Agreement, the Company purchased an option (the “Holt option”) for $75 from Kirkland for the mining and mineral rights subject to the Holt royalty obligation. The Company has the right to exercise the Holt option and acquire ownership to the mineral interests subject to the Holt royalty obligation in the event Kirkland intends to resume operations and process material subject to the obligation. Kirkland has the right to assume the Company’s Holt royalty obligation at any time, in which case the Holt option would terminate.

On August 16, 2021, International Royalty Corporation (“IRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Gold, filed an action in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia against Newmont Corporation, Newmont Canada Corporation, Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC (collectively "Newmont"), and certain Kirkland defendants (collectively "Kirkland"). IRC alleges the Kirkland Agreement is oppressive to the interests of Royal Gold under the Nova Scotia Companies Act and the Canada Business Corporations Act, and that, by entering into the Kirkland Agreement, Newmont breached its contractual obligations to Royal Gold. IRC seeks declaratory relief, and $350 in alleged royalty payments that it claims Newmont expected to pay under the Holt royalty obligation, but for the Kirkland Agreement. Kirkland filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case against it, which the court granted in October 2022. Newmont submitted its statement of defense on February 27, 2023, and a motion for summary judgment on January 12, 2024. The motion for summary judgment was denied on May 27, 2024, and the parties are now engaged in the discovery phase of the case. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Newmont Ghana Gold Limited -100% Newmont Owned (and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited owned by Newmont through April 15, 2025)

On December 24, 2018, two individual plaintiffs, who were members of the Ghana Parliament (“Plaintiffs”), filed a writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. On January 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the Statement of Plaintiff’s Case outlining the details of the Plaintiff’s case and subsequently served Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (“NGGL”) and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (“NGRL”), now Zijin Golden Ridge Limited ("ZGRL"), along with the other named defendants, the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana and 33 other mining companies with interests in Ghana. The Plaintiffs allege that under article 268 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, the mining company defendants are not entitled to carry out any exploitation of minerals or other natural resources in Ghana, unless their respective transactions, contracts or concessions are ratified or exempted from ratification by the Parliament of Ghana. Newmont’s mining leases were both ratified by Parliament; the NGGL June 13, 2001 mining lease, ratified by Parliament on October 21, 2008, and the renewed NGRL September 4, 2024 mining lease, ratified by Parliament on July 24, 2025. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliamentary ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliamentary ratification; (iii) a declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent; and (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all unratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome. On April 15, 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Akyem reportable segment, including NGRL. In the case of an adverse final judgment against NGRL pursuant to a non-appealable governmental order, if any, the Company would be required to indemnify the buyer for certain fines, penalties and disgorgements attributable to the period from the date of the Company’s commencement of commercial production under the mining leases in October 2013 to the date on which the mining leases were ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015.

Newmont Capital Limited and Newmont Canada FN Holdings ULC –100% Newmont Owned

The Australian Taxation Office ("ATO") is conducting a limited review of the Company’s prior tax returns. The ATO is reviewing an internal reorganization executed in 2011 when Newmont completed a restructure of the shareholding in the Company’s Australian subsidiaries. To date, the Company has responded to inquiries from the ATO and provided them with supporting documentation for the transaction and the Company’s associated tax positions. One aspect of the ATO review relates to an Australian capital gains tax that applies to sales or transfers of stock in certain types of entities. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the ATO notified the Company that it believes the 2011 reorganization is subject to capital gains tax of approximately $85 (including interest and penalties). The Company disputes this conclusion and is vigorously defending its position that the transaction is not subject to this tax. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made a $24 payment to the ATO and lodged an Appeal with the Australian Federal Court. The court proceedings were held during the third quarter of 2024 and on November 10, 2025, the Company received the judgment. A number of matters were decided, however, no final orders were made, and the Court appointed an independent referee to complete the remaining valuation tasks assigned by the Court. In July 2026, the Court-appointed referee issued a report concluding that the market value of Newmont Australia's TARP assets did not exceed the market value of its non-TARP assets. In August 2026, the Court issued orders concluding that the market value of Newmont Australia's TARP assets did not exceed the market value of its non-TARP assets, with costs awarded to the Company. On September 17, 2026, the ATO filed an appeal against the Court's orders. The appeal is expected to be heard by the Full Federal Court in 2027.

Initially, in April 2026, the Australian Government announced proposed legislative changes to the TARP framework which, if enacted with retrospective effect, could have adversely impacted the Company's position in this matter. The retrospective component of the proposed legislation was not, however, passed by the Australian Parliament.

The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter.

Newmont Corporation

Karas v. Newmont Corp., et al. On January 31, 2025, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Newmont and Newmont’s, at the time, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The action was brought on behalf of an alleged class of Newmont stockholders who owned stock between February 22, 2024 and October 23, 2024 (the alleged class period). The court appointed Lead Plaintiffs on May 6, 2025, who filed an amended complaint on July 14, 2025, adding Newmont’s Chief Development Officer as a defendant and shortening the alleged class period to July 24, 2024 through October 23, 2024. Plaintiffs allege that defendants made a series of materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions during the alleged class period regarding the Company’s operations, production, and costs in violation of federal securities laws. Plaintiffs further allege that the purported class members suffered losses and damages resulting from declines in the market value of Newmont’s common stock after the Company announced its third quarter 2024 results and updated guidance on October 23, 2024. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on September 12, 2025. Plaintiffs filed an opposition to that motion on November 4, 2025 and defendants filed a reply brief on December 4, 2025. On November 4, 2025, plaintiffs also filed a motion to strike or to convert defendants’ motion to dismiss to a motion for summary judgment and for full discovery. Defendants filed an opposition to that motion on November 12, 2025 and plaintiffs filed a reply brief on November 26, 2025. On August 14, 2026, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to strike, granted defendants’ motion to dismiss, and granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint by September 11, 2026. On September 11, 2026, plaintiffs filed a notice of their intent not to file a second amended complaint. On September 17, 2026, the court directed the clerk of court to enter final judgment for defendants and close the case. That same day, a final judgment was entered, ordering that plaintiffs’ complaint and action were dismissed, and that judgment was entered in favor of defendants Newmont and its, at the time of the initial complaint, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. On September 24, 2026, defendants filed an unopposed motion to correct the final judgment to reflect that judgment is also expressly entered in favor of defendant Newmont’s Chief Development Officer or, in the alternative, for entry of a separate final judgment in his favor.

Gunderson v. Palmer et al.; Levin v. Palmer et al.; Chin v. Palmer et al.; and Harris v. Palmer et al. On February 21, February 28, March 20, and April 4, 2025, respectively, purported Newmont stockholders filed putative derivative complaints nominally on behalf of Newmont against Newmont’s, at the time, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and then-members of Newmont’s Board of Directors, naming Newmont as a nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. While the allegations and asserted claims vary among the actions, the complaints, taken collectively, generally raise similar allegations as the complaint in Karas. The complaints allege, among other things, that defendants made a series of materially false and misleading statements and/or omissions beginning on February 22, 2024 regarding the Company’s operations, production, and costs; the Company lacked adequate internal controls and oversight over risk management; defendants made materially false and misleading statements in the Company’s 2024 proxy statement, and there were improper share repurchases by the Company and stock sales by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer during the period February 22, 2024 to October 23, 2024; and assert claims under federal securities law (other than in the Chin case) and Delaware state law. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages, restitution, disgorgement, and other relief, including reforms to the Company’s corporate governance. On March 19, 2025, on motion from plaintiffs in Gunderson and Levin, the court consolidated Levin into Gunderson, and appointed lead plaintiffs in the consolidated case. On May 1, 2025, on motion from plaintiffs in Gunderson, Levin, Chin, and Harris, the court consolidated Chin and Harris into Gunderson. On May 7, 2025, upon joint motion from the parties in Gunderson, the court stayed the consolidated action pending the resolutions of all motions to dismiss the operative complaint in Karas. On September 17, 2026, in light of the adjudication of the motion to dismiss in and closure of Karas, the courtsua sponte lifted the stay and ordered the parties to file a proposed scheduling order or a joint status report by October 19, 2026. On October 19, 2026, the parties filed a joint status report and proposed to further update the court with a joint status report or proposed scheduling order by November 18, 2026. Later that day, the court ordered the parties to file a proposed scheduling order or further status report by November 18, 2026.

Willis v. Palmer et al. On May 9, 2025, a purported Newmont stockholder filed a putative derivative complaint nominally on behalf of Newmont against Newmont’s, at the time, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and then-members of Newmont’s Board of Directors, naming Newmont as a nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint generally raises similar allegations and requests similar relief as the complaints in the District of Colorado consolidated derivative actions described above. On May 28, 2025, upon stipulation and agreement by the parties, the court stayed the action pending the resolution of all motions to dismiss the operative complaint in Karas.

Newmont intends to vigorously defend these matters but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of any matter.

Goldcorp S.A. de C.V. and Servicios Administrativos Goldcorp, S.A. de C.V. –100% Newmont Owned

In connection with Goldcorp's 2017 sale of the Los Filos mine in Mexico to Leagold Mining Corporation ("Leagold"), the parties entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement ("TAA") governing the allocation of certain tax liabilities and related matters, including ongoing and subsequent tax audits by the Mexican tax authority (Servicio de Administración Tributaria, or "SAT") affecting pre-closing tax years or periods of Desarrollos Mineros San Luis, S.A. de C.V. ("DMSL"), an entity sold as part of the transaction. In June 2022, Leagold and certain affiliates (the "Leagold Plaintiffs") commenced litigation in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Newmont Corporation and certain Goldcorp entities (the "Newmont Defendants") relating to, among other things, the treatment of certain tax attributes and the parties' respective rights and obligations under the TAA. In December 2025, Equinox Gold Corp. ("Equinox"), as successor to Leagold, entered into a settlement with SAT to resolve SAT's audit of DMSL's 2017 tax year.

On June 29, 2026, Equinox delivered a demand letter asserting claims under the TAA and seeking payment of approximately $114, plus additional inflation adjustments under Mexican law, in connection with its 2025 settlement with SAT for DMSL's 2017 tax year. Equinox contends that certain taxes and related amounts are allocable to the pre-closing portion of the 2017 tax year and the balance of certain tax attributes were reduced because amounts were applied in the pre-closing portion of the 2017 tax year or were reduced in connection with settlements entered into with SAT for pre-closing years. Equinox contends the amount of tax-effected value of certain of these amounts, as the case may be, are recoverable from Newmont under the TAA. On August 28, 2026, the Newmont Defendants responded to Equinox’s demand letter and filed an amended response to civil claim disputing liability. Newmont maintains, among other defenses, that the claims do not satisfy the TAA's contractual timing and notice requirements and that portions of the demand relate to post-closing actions or omissions by Equinox, amounts that do not constitute taxes recoverable under the TAA, taxes previously resolved with SAT, and alleged losses that must be reduced by available tax benefits. On September 29, 2026, the Leagold Plaintiffs filed an amended reply maintaining their claims. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit, and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental remediation, reclamation, exploration permitting, workers' compensation programs, and other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $1,751 and $1,943, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds, and bank guarantees. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above-described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In connection with the Company's investment in Galore Creek, Newmont will owe NovaGold Resources Inc. $75 upon the earlier of approval to construct a mine, mill and all related infrastructure for the Galore Creek project or the initiation of construction of a mine, mill or related infrastructure. The amount due is non-interest bearing. The decision for approval and commencement of construction is contingent on the results of a prefeasibility study which is currently under way and feasibility study which has not yet occurred.

Refer to Note 24 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for information on the Company's contingent payments.
