The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on February 20, 2015 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency, and “C$” to Canadian currency.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company received $675 in net proceeds from a common stock issuance. Newmont used the proceeds, supplemented with cash from the Company’s balance sheet, to fund the acquisition of the Cripple Creek & Victor gold mining business (“CC&V”) in Colorado from AngloGold Ashanti Limited, which was completed on August 3, 2015, for a purchase consideration of $821 , plus a 2.5% net smelter return royalty from potential future underground ore which has no fair value at September 30, 2015. Refer to Note 13 for further information.
On March 12, 2013, Newmont completed the sale of the Hope Bay Project to TMAC Resources Inc. (“TMAC”). On July 7, 2015, TMAC completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), issuing 22,500,000 common shares at a price of C$6.00 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$135. Additionally, TMAC entered into a term loan facility for $120. At September 30, 2015, Newmont held a 29.38% ownership interest in TMAC. Prior to the financing events, Newmont identified TMAC as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) guidance for consolidation, determined it was the primary beneficiary, and consolidated TMAC in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon further evaluation subsequent to the financing events, Newmont determined that TMAC is no longer considered a VIE, and no longer will be consolidated into Newmont’s financial results. Newmont deconsolidated the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest related to TMAC and recognized a gain of $76, recorded within Other income, net . The fair value of the retained investment was valued utilizing the market approach applying the IPO share price. Newmont’s retained investment in TMAC, which was $104 at September 30, 2015, will be accounted for as an equity method investment reflected in Note 16.
On July 24, 2015, Newmont completed the sale of its 60.64% ownership interest in European Gold Refinery Holdings (“EGR”) for total cash proceeds of $119. The gain of $53 was recorded in Other income, net .
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation and were not material to the financial statements.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Risks and Uncertainties
As a global mining company, our revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for gold, copper and, to a lesser extent, silver. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that we can economically produce. The carrying value of our property, plant and mine development assets, inventories, stockpiles and ore on leach pads, and
5
deferred tax assets are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in our long term price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.
In September 2014, PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) and the Government of Indonesia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) that resulted in PTNNT receiving a six-month permit to export copper concentrate from the Batu Hijau mine (“Batu Hijau”) that expired in mid-March 2015. On March 30, 2015, PTNNT received a six-month permit extension to export copper concentrate that expired in late September 2015. A permit renewal application was submitted in August 2015 and renewal remains pending. Supplemental information regarding domestic smelting development progress via MoU with PT Freeport Indonesia was finalized and submitted in September 2015. All required information has been submitted to the Government of Indonesia. Effective with the signing of the MoU, PTNNT agreed to pay certain export duties and royalties. The MoU also outlines terms for the six main elements of the Contract of Work renegotiation, which will be incorporated into an amendment of the Contract of Work. The six areas are: concession area size; royalties, taxes and export duties; domestic processing and refining; ownership divestment; utilization of local manpower, domestic goods and services; and duration of the Contract of Work. Negotiations between PTNNT and the Government of Indonesia to amend the Contract of Work remain on-going. No assurances can be made at this time with respect to the outcome of such negotiations and the renewal of the export permit . The failure to receive a timely renewal may negatively impact future operations and financial results at Batu Hijau. As a result of the on-going Contract of Work renegotiations at Batu Hijau, the need for asset impairments, inventory write-downs, tax valuation allowances and other applicable accounting charges will continue to be evaluated. At this time, the Company expects operations to continue into the future. The total assets at Batu Hijau as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $3,462 and $3,107, respectively.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Business combinations
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Services Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU”) guidance related to accounting for measurement-period adjustments in a business combination. This update simplifies the measurement-period adjustments by requiring that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, and not retrospectively. This update also requires the separate presentation on the face of the statement of income, or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company early adopted this guidance prospectively as of September 30, 2015. As applicable, adoption of the new guidance will impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Stock-based compensation
In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the accounting for stock-based performance awards for which the performance target could be achieved after the employee completes the required service period. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2015, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Inventory
In July 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to inventory simplifying the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Employee benefit plan accounting
In July 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans, and health and welfare benefit plans. This update designates contract value as the only required measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, simplifies and makes more effective the investment disclosure requirements for employee benefit plans, and provides a simplified method for determining the measurement date for employee benefit plans. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, and further amended in August 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to debt issuance costs. This update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Consolidations
In February 2015, ASU guidance was issued related to consolidations. This update makes some targeted changes to current consolidation guidance and impacts both the voting and the variable interest consolidation models. In particular, the update will change how companies determine whether limited partnerships or similar entities are variable interest entities. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We currently consolidate certain variable interest entities and we do not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue recognition
In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s reportable segments are based upon the Company’s management structure that is focused on the geographic region for the Company’s operations. In the first quarter of 2015, the Australia/New Zealand and Indonesia geographic regions were combined into one Asia Pacific geographic region. Geographic regions include North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Africa, and Corporate and Other.
On June 5, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with OceanaGold Corporation to sell its Waihi mine in New Zealand for approximately $101. The Waihi sale has been approved by New Zealand regulators and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2015, total assets and total liabilities were $138 and $52, respectively.

A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, each quarter, the Company considers future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income, taxable income in prior carryback year(s), as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction to determine if the deferred tax assets are realizable. If it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will place or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if determined that it will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets.
13
The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays taxes under the various tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and pay the income taxes determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved.
At September 30, 2015, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $98 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $35 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.
As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, none of which are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $50 to $55 in the next 12 months.
NOTE 8 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations includes a retained royalty obligation (“Holt”) to Holloway Mining Company. Holloway Mining Company, which owned the Holt-McDermott property, was sold to St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) in 2006. The Company records adjustments based on short and long-term gold prices, discount rate assumptions and reserve and resource estimates published by St. Andrew.
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, the Company recorded a benefit of $17 and a benefit of $34, net of tax expense of $7 and expense of $15, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, the Company recorded a benefit of $3 and a charge of $16, net of tax expense of $2 and benefit of $7, respectively.
Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $9 and $10 in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 respectively, relates to payments on the Holt property royalty.

Newmont has a 51.35% ownership interest in Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”), with the remaining interests held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the International Finance Corporation (5%). Newmont consolidates Yanacocha due to a majority voting interest.
Newmont has a 48.5% effective economic interest in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) with remaining interests held by an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan and various Indonesian entities. PTNNT operates the
14
Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in Indonesia. Newmont consolidates Batu Hijau in its condensed consolidated financial statements as the primary beneficiary in the variable interest entity.
Newmont’s economic ownership interest in TMAC was reduced from 36.96% to 29.38%, due to TMAC’s financing events during the third quarter of 2015. The remaining interests are held by TMAC management and various outside investors. Upon deconsolidation, Newmont recognized a gain of $76 in Other income, net . Newmont’s retained investment in TMAC will be accounted for on the balance sheet as an equity method investment reflected in Note 16.
The following summarizes the assets and liabilities, inclusive of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, of our consolidated VIEs (including noncontrolling interests).

NOTE 10 INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments, including employee stock awards and convertible debt instruments. The dilutive effects of Newmont’s dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in income per share are included in the calculation.

Options to purchase 2 million and 3 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $48 were outstanding at September 30, 2015 and 2014, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their exercise prices exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock for the respective periods presented.

Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of its 2017 Convertible Senior Note in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion premium (average share price in excess of the conversion price), if any, in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method. The conversion price exceeded the Company’s share price for the periods presented, therefore no additional shares were included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares.

In April 2015, the Company approved an amendment to the terms of its Post-Retirement Medical and Life Insurance Plan, effective September 2015. The Company announced this change in June, and as a result, re-measured its other post-retirement benefit plan liability at June 30, 2015. The discount rate used for purposes of the re-measurement was 4.74%. The re-measurement resulted in a decrease of the post-retirement benefit plan liability of $52, ($34 net of tax).

NOTE 13 BUSINESS ACQUISITION
On June 8, 2015, the Company announced an agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Limited to acquire 100% ownership in the CC&V gold mining business in Colorado. CC&V is a surface mine with heap leach operations that provides ore to a crusher and a leach facility. On August 3, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of CC&V for $821, plus a 2.5% net smelter return royalty on future gold production from underground ore which has no fair value at September 30, 2015. A range of outcomes for this royalty cannot be estimated as reserves and mineralized material have not been declared in the specified royalty area. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred acquisition costs of $7 and $9, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, which were recorded in Other expense, net .
The acquisition is not material to the Company's results of operations, individually or in the aggregate; as a result, no pro forma financial information is provided.
The Company retained an independent third-party appraiser to assist in the valuation. In valuing acquired assets and assumed liabilities, fair values were based on, but not limited to quoted market prices, where available; expected future cash flows; current replacement cost for similar capacity for certain fixed assets; market rate assumptions for contractual obligations; and appropriate discount rates.
The fair value measurement of inventories, stockpiles and ore on leach pads, property, plant and mine development, and reclamation and remediation were based, in part, on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. The fair value measurement of debt was based on prices obtained from readily available pricing source and thus represents a Level 2 measurement.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on the best estimates of management and is subject to revision based on the final valuation. Adjustments may be made to the carrying value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the valuation date. The Company expects these final valuations and assessments to be substantially completed in early 2016.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for CC&V:

NOTE 15 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company continues to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market. All of the derivative instruments described below were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges.
Cash Flow Hedges
The following foreign currency and diesel contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings .

Provisional Gold and Copper Sales
The Company’s provisional gold and copper sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
At September 30, 2015, Newmont had gold and copper sales of 203,000 ounces and 138 million pounds priced at an average of $1,114 per ounce and $2.30 per pound, respectively, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

NOTE 26 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if
36
determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Operating Segments
The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The PTNNT matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The Fronteer matters relate to the North America reportable segment.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.
Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1,611 and $1,497, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $36 and $42 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities .
In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $163 and $192 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities . Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 137% greater or 0% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2015. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.
Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.
Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned
Ross-Adams Mine Site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.
37
Other Legal Matters
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”) - 51.35% Newmont Owned
Choropampa . In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.
Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 23 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered into between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. All appeals were referred to the Civil Court of Cajamarca, which affirmed the decisions of the lower court judge. The plaintiffs have filed appeals of such orders before the Supreme Court. Some of these appeals were dismissed by the Supreme Court in favor of Yanacocha, and others are pending resolution. Yanacocha will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.
Administrative Actions . The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts periodic reviews of the Yanacocha site. In 2011, 2012, and 2013, and the first quarter of 2015, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. Total fines for all outstanding OEFA alleged violations remain dependent upon the number of units associated with the alleged violations. In the first quarter of 2015, the water authority of Cajamarca issued notices of alleged regulatory violations. The alleged OEFA violations currently range from zero to 100,120 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 20,000 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.00130 ($0 to $156). Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.
During the first quarter, the Peruvian government agency responsible for certain environmental regulations, Ministry of the Environment ("MINAM"), issued proposed in-stream water quality criteria pursuant to which MINAM may require mining companies, including Yanacocha, to comply. These criteria would modify the in-stream water quality criteria, pursuant to which Yanacocha has been designing water treatment processes and infrastructure, with a compliance deadline of December 2015. The proposed criteria may require additional and potentially different water treatment infrastructure from that required under the December 2015 compliance deadline. Yanacocha appealed for an extension to the December 2015 compliance deadline for these previously announced in-stream water quality criteria and the mining counsel rejected the appeal finding that the legal article provides for compliance by December 2015. However, the mining council decision included a finding that it is not possible for mining companies to comply with the MINAM modified requirements by December 2015. Yanacocha filed an appeal of
38
the decision of the mining council in court. Yanacocha is currently assessing redesign and treatment options in connection with the recently proposed criteria. Those redesign and enhanced treatment options may result in increased costs and require additional time for implementation. If Yanacocha is unsuccessful in appealing or meeting the requirements by the deadlines, it could result in potential fines and penalties relating to intermittent non-compliant exceedances, permitting delays or impacts to operations. See Item 1A, Risk Factors for a description of risks relating to hazards and uncertainties associates with mining and compliance with increasing environmental regulations.
Conga Project Constitutional Claim . On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of Conga Project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga Project Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: 1) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; 2) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; 3) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga Project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment, and; 4) the directorial resolution approving the Conga Project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga Project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha will answer the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation.
PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) – 31.5% Newmont Owned
Divestiture: Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares were required to be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, owned a 20% interest in PTNNT at all relevant times, in 2006, a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and, in each of 2007 through 2010, an additional 7% interest was required to be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interests were offered for sale to the Indonesian parties was the fair market value of such interest considering PTNNT as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Following certain disputes and an arbitration with the Indonesian government, in November and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were sold to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”), the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were sold to PTMDB in February 2010, resulting in PTMDB owning a 24% interest in PTNNT.
On December 17, 2010, the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, acting on behalf of the Indonesian government, accepted the offer to acquire the final 7% interest in PTNNT. Subsequently, the Indonesian government designated Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (“PIP”), an agency of the Ministry of Finance, as the entity that will buy the final stake. On May 6, 2011, PIP and the foreign shareholders entered into a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of the final 7% divestiture stake, subject to receipt of approvals from certain Indonesian government ministries. Subsequent to signing the agreement, a disagreement arose between the Ministry of Finance and the Indonesian parliament in regard to whether parliamentary approval was needed to allow PIP to make the share purchase. In July 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that parliament approval is required for PIP to use state funds to purchase the shares, which approval has not yet been obtained. Further disputes may arise in regard to the divestiture of the 2010 shares.
39
Administrative Claim: On April 8, 2015, PTNNT received a summons for a hearing in Jakarta State Administrative Court in which PTNNT learned that two individual plaintiffs of NTB Province filed a claim with the Jakarta State Administrative Court against the Director General of Mineral and Coal of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia (“MEMR”). The claim alleges that the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between MEMR and PTNNT dated September 3, 2014, and the subsequent granting of an export permit violated Indonesian legal principles of good governance. The administrative claim requests suspension and annulment of the MOU and export permits. PTNNT intervened into the case. On September 16, 2015, the panel of judges made a finding in favor of MEMR and PTNNT.
NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.
In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).
Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.
NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Fronteer was not aware of any obstacle to doing so, that Aurora faced no serious environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced greater delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.
On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on NMC, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014.
On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario Complaint is based upon the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraud and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and punitive damages.
Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $30 in 2015, $32 in 2016 through 2019 and $190 thereafter.
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 reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were $1,954 and $1,865, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” beginning on page 63 . References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency and “NZ$” to New Zealand currency.
This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed February 20, 2015.
Newmont is one of the world’s largest gold producers and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and Fortune 500. We have been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World for nine consecutive years and have adopted the World Gold Council’s Conflict-Free Gold Policy. We are also engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and copper properties. We have significant operations and/or assets in the United States, Australia, Peru, Indonesia, Ghana, New Zealand and Suriname.
Our vision is to be recognized and respected for exceptional economic, environmental and social performance.
We continue to position the business to capture benefits of economic recovery and demand growth in the current volatile commodity market environment. Our team has spent considerable time optimizing our project portfolio and we continue to move forward with developing projects that generate value. We are focused on providing sustainable efficiency, productivity and cost improvements over the next three years and expect to deliver significant cost and cash savings improvement initiatives. One of the programs we launched in 2013 and continue to progress in 2015 to achieve these improvements is the Full Potential program (“Full Potential”). Full Potential is designed to leverage our industry experience and discipline to accelerate the delivery of business improvement opportunities across our operations and support areas, resulting in improved levels of operating cash flow .
During the second quarter of 2015, we received $675 in net proceeds from a common stock issuance. We used the proceeds, supplemented with cash from our balance sheet, to fund the acquisition of the Cripple Creek & Victor gold mining business (“CC&V”) in Colorado from AngloGold Ashanti Limited, which was completed on August 3, 2015, for a purchase consideration of $821, plus a 2.5% net smelter return royalty from potential future underground ore which has no fair value at September 30, 2015. Located near Colorado Springs in Teller County, Colorado, with current operations permitted through 2026, a robust environmental track record, an experienced non-union workforce and a long history of community support, CC&V has been in operation since 1995. CC&V is a surface mine that provides ore to a crusher and a leach facility.
On March 12, 2013, we completed the sale of the Hope Bay Project to TMAC Resources Inc. (“TMAC”). On July 7, 2015, TMAC completed an initial public offering, issuing 22,500,000 common shares at a price of C$6.00 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$135. At September 30, 2015, we held a 29.38% ownership interest in TMAC. Subsequent to the financing events, we determined that TMAC should no longer be consolidated and deconsolidated the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest related to TMAC and recognized a gain of $76, recorded within Other income, net .
On July 24, 2015, we completed the sale of our 60.64% ownership interest in European Gold Refinery Holdings (“Valcambi”) for total cash proceeds of $119. The gain of $53 was recorded in Other income, net .
42
On June 5, 2015, we entered into an agreement with OceanaGold Corporation to sell our Waihi mine in New Zealand for approximately $101. The Waihi sale has been approved by New Zealand regulators and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2015, total assets and liabilities were $138 and $52, respectively.

Our global project pipeline
We manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.
Projects included in our global pipeline comprise an important part of the Company’s growth strategy and reflect opportunities throughout the development cycle. The most advanced projects, including early stage development and projects in or near the Execution phase are described below. The exploration, construction and execution of these projects may require significant funding to complete.
Turf Vent Shaft, Nevada. The Turf No. 3 Vent Shaft Project is in the construction phase, is planned to achieve commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2015 and is expected to add between 100,000 and 150,000 ounces of production annually to Leeville. Total development costs for the project are estimated between $300 and $350. As of September 30, 2015, total capital costs were $312 of which $24 related to the third quarter. The Turf No. 3 Vent Shaft project provides the ventilation required to increase production and decrease mine costs over the 11 year mine life at Leeville.
Merian, Suriname . On July 29, 2014, the Board of Directors of Newmont approved full funding for the Merian project in Suriname and construction began in August 2014. Following the project approval by Newmont, the Government of Suriname granted the Right of Exploitation on August 22, 2014. The Government of Suriname opted for a 25% ownership in the Merian Project and made their earn-in payments. The project allows Newmont to pursue a new district with upside potential and the opportunity to grow and extend the operating life of the South American region. Average estimated gold production (on a 100% basis) of 400,000 to 500,000 ounces per year is expected for the first five years, once Merian comes into production in late 2016. Total capital spend on the project is expected to range from $600
43
to $650 on an attributable basis. As of September 30, 2015, total capital costs were $357, of which $77 related to the third quarter on an attributable basis. At December 31, 2014, gold reserves at Merian contained 104,700 thousand tons of probable reserves, grading 0.034 ounces per ton for 3.6 million ounces on an attributable basis.
Long Canyon, Nevada . The Board of Directors approved full funding for the first phase of the Long Canyon project in the second quarter of 2015. The Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision was issued by the Bureau of Land Management on April 7, 2015. The project is now under construction and is expected to achieve commercial production in the first half of 2017. This first phase of development consists of an open pit mine and heap leach operation with production between 100,000 and 150,000 ounces per year over an eight year mine life. Total capital costs of the project are estimated between $250 and $300. As of September 30, 2015, total capital costs were $65 of which $29 related to the third quarter. We are currently assessing mining and processing options and completing a three-year infill drilling program to inform our approach to Phase 2. At December 31, 2014, we reported 18,400 thousand tons of probable reserves, grading 0.067 ounce per ton for 1.2 million ounces of gold reserves at Long Canyon.
CC&V Expansion, Colorado. An expansion project at CC&V, which will extend CC&V’s estimated mine life to at least 2026, includes the construction of a new leach pad, mill and recovery plant. The mill was mechanically completed in the first quarter of 2015. Total capital costs for Newmont are approximately $200, with between $50 and $60 to be spent in 2015. As of September 30, 2015, total capital costs for Newmont were $26 for the project. Mill commissioning and ramp up of production will continue into 2016. The new leach pad and the recovery plant are expected to be commissioned during the second half of 2016.
Conga, Peru. Due to local political and community protests, construction and development activities at the Conga project were largely suspended in November 2011. The results of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) independent review were announced in April 2012 and confirmed our initial EIA met Peruvian and International standards. The review made recommendations to provide additional water capacity and social funds, which we have largely accepted. Following review of the recommendation, we announced our decision to move the project forward on a “water first” approach. In the first half of 2014, a Conga Restart Study was completed to identify and test alternatives to advancing development of the project. Following this assessment, a new plan was developed to reduce spending to focus on only the most critical work – protecting people and assets, engaging with communities, and maintaining existing project infrastructure – while maintaining optionality. Newmont will not proceed with the full development of Conga without social acceptance, national and regional government support, solid project economics and potentially another partner to help defray costs and risk. At December 31, 2014 we reported 303,400 thousand tons of probable reserves, grading 0.021 ounces per ton for 6.5 million attributable ounces of gold reserves and 0.28% copper for 1,690 million attributable pounds of copper reserves at Conga. Construction of Conga and the implementation of the independent EIA review recommendations will continue provided it can be done in a safe manner with risk-adjusted returns that justify future investment. Should we be unable to continue with the current development plan at Conga, we may reprioritize and reallocate capital to other alternatives, which may result in a potential accounting impairment. The total assets at Conga as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $1,687 and $1,700, respectively.
Tanami Expansion, Australia. The Board of Directors approved full funding of the Tanami Expansion project on October 28, 2015. The goal of the Tanami Expansion project is to increase production and lower all-in sustaining costs per ounce of the mine. Incremental improvements are driven by bringing ounces forward, mining additional ounces at depth and leveraging the fixed costs of the mine and processing facilities. The scope for this project includes a ventilation upgrade, additional mining equipment, additional mine access (Dual Access) and increasing process plant capacity and recovery. For a capital cost of between $100 and $120, the project enables Tanami production of between 425,000 and 475,000 for the first five years following the expansion at lower costs and an increased mine life by three years.
Ahafo Mill Expansion, Ghana . We continue to evaluate development alternatives for this project. Current engineering efforts are focused on reducing the scale of the project. The project would increase profitable production by 100,000 to 125,000 ounces (first five year average) while lowering costs and off-setting the impacts of lower grades and harder ore. If approved in 2016 the additional production would be expected in 2018.
Subika Underground, Ghana . Subika Underground is in the feasibility stage of development as work continues to
44
optimize the mine plan and reduce costs. The project is expected to produce approximately 200,000 ounces of gold per year and an investment decision is expected in 2016.

Consolidated Financial Results
Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for the third quarter of 2015 was $219 ($0.42 per share) compared to income of $213 ($0.43 per share) for the third quarter of 2014. Results for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 were impacted by higher gold and copper sales volumes and lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments, partially offset by lower realized gold and copper prices and higher income and mining taxes . Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first nine months of 2015 was $474 ($0.93 per share) compared to income of $493 ($0.99 per share) for the first nine months of 2014. Results for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 were impacted by lower realized gold and copper prices and higher income and mining taxes, partially offset by higher gold and copper sales volumes, lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments and an 11% reduction of direct operating costs.
Gold sales increased 6% and 1% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014 due to higher sales volumes at existing operations and the addition of CC&V, partially offset
45
by lower realized prices and fewer ounces sold following our sales of Midas, Jundee and La Herradura in 2014. The following analysis summarizes consolidated gold sales:

(2) |
|
On October 6, 2014, the Company sold its 44% interest in La Herradura. |
|
|
(3) |
|
On July 1, 2014, the Company sold the Jundee mine. |
Costs applicable to sales includes a 1% and 11% reduction in direct operating costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to Full Potential projects, lower fuel prices, a favorable Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate and the sale of Midas, Jundee and La Herradura in 2014, partially offset by higher direct costs at Batu Hijau as a result of full production in the current year. Costs applicable to sales for gold increased in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to higher production, partially offset by lower direct operating cost and lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments. Costs applicable to sales for gold decreased in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to lower direct operating cost and lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments, partially offset by higher production. Costs applicable to sales for copper decreased in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2014 due to lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments, partially offset by higher copper production. Costs applicable to sales for copper in the first nine months is mostly in line with the same period in 2014. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations .

Depreciation and amortization for gold in the third quarter of 2015 increased compared to the same period in 2014 due to higher production and capital additions, partially offset by lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments and the sale of Midas, Jundee and La Herradura in 2014. Depreciation and amortization for gold in the first nine months of 2015 decreased compared to the same period in 2014 due to lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments, the sale of Midas, Jundee and La Herradura in 2014, partially offset by higher production and capital additions . Depreciation and amortization for copper in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 decreased compared to the same periods in 2014 due to lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments and the sale of Midas, Jundee and La Herradura in 2014, partially offset by higher production and capital additions.
Exploration expe nse decreased $10 and $4 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2014 primarily due to the deconsolidation of TMAC.
Advanced projects, research and development expense decreased $4 and $27 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 due to deferment of various studies, reductions in project and technical services costs, and our decision to move Merian from advanced projects to execution.
General and administrative expense decreased by $2 for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 primarily due to headcount reductions resulting in lower corporate direct costs, partially offset by higher non-cash stock compensation expense. General and administrative expense for the first nine months of 2015 was in-line compared to the same period of 2014 as a result of headcount reductions causing lower corporate direct costs offset by higher non-cash stock compensation expense.
Other expense, net decreased by $6 in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to lower restructuring costs, power plant costs and write-downs, partially offset by higher acquisition costs related to CC&V, and community development costs. Other expense, net decreased by $31 in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to lower write-downs, community development, and power plant costs, partially offset by higher acquisition costs related to CC&V.
Other income, net increased by $61 in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to gains of $76 from the deconsolidation of TMAC and $53 from the Valcambi sale, partially offset by impairments of marketable securities. Other income, net remained consistent for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014.
Interest expense, net decreased by $8 and $28 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to increased capitalized interest and lower discount amortization as a result of the payoff of the 2014 senior convertible note in July 2014, and paydown of the term loan in the first quarter of 2015. Capitalized interest increased by $6 and $14 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to the Merian Project and the addition of CC&V.
Income and mining tax expenses during the third quarter of 2015 resulted in an expense of $151, for an effective tax rate of 35%. Income and mining tax during the third quarter of 2014 was a benefit of $47, for an effective tax rate of (188)%. The negative tax rate in 2014 is the result of recording a tax benefit on net earnings for the period. The Company’s effective tax rate is driven by a number of factors as illustrated in the table below. In the third quarter of 2014, the percentage impacts on the items in the table were amplified during the quarter due to the lower pretax income which adds to the significant quarter over quarter variances in the tax rates. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 differs from the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to the following: (i) a diluted tax rate benefit for percentage depletion resulting from the jurisdictional mix of income, (ii) the rate impact from changes in the Company’s valuation allowance related to benefits recorded from settlements of income tax audits and capital gains offset by an increase of foreign tax credits and impairments of marketable securities, (iii) mining taxes were higher in 2015 due to the jurisdictional mix of income but carry a lower effective tax rate due to the lower pretax income in 2014, and (iv) the tax impact from divestitures.
49
During the first nine months of 2015, income and mining tax expense was $496, resulting in an effective tax rate of 43%. Income and mining tax benefit during the first nine months of 2014 was $22 for an effective tax rate of (9)%. The difference in effective tax rates is primarily due to the same factors above in addition to the tax impact on the sale of Midas in 2014.

A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, each quarter the Company considers future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income, taxable income in prior carryback year(s), as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction to determine if the deferred tax assets are realizable. If it is determined we will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, we will place or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if we determine that we will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
There are a number of factors that can potentially impact the Company’s effective tax, including the geographic distribution of income, the non-recognition of tax assets, percentage depletion, changes in tax laws, and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed February 20, 2015 on Form 10-K.
Due to the factors discussed above and the sensitivity of the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate to these factors, it is expected that the effective tax rate will fluctuate, sometimes significantly, in future periods.
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015 was income of $66 and $188, respectively, compared to a loss of $138 and $225 in the same periods of 2014, respectively. The income is a result of increased earnings at Batu Hijau in the current year, while the loss is a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau and TMAC in the prior year.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations includes a decrease in the Holt property royalty liability as of September 30, 2015. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, the Company recorded a benefit of $17 and benefit of $34, net of tax expense of $7 and expense of $15, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, the Company recorded a benefit of $3 and a charge of $16, net of tax expense of $2 and benefit of $7, respectively. Due to the nature of the sliding scale royalty calculation, changes in expected production, discount rates and gold price have a significant impact on the fair value of the liability.

Third quarter 2015 compared to 2014
Consolidated gold production increased 23% primarily due to higher production at our Asia Pacific operations and from the acquisition of CC&V included in our North America Operations, partially offset by lower production from Africa and South America and the sale of La Herradura. Consolidated copper production increased 429% due to higher production from Asia Pacific as a result of accessing phase 6 ore at Batu Hijau in addition to the temporary export ban in 2014.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce and copper pound sold decreased 14% and 80%, respectively, due to lower direct operating costs, lower fuel prices, a favorable Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate, and higher gold and copper production due to higher ore grade mined and lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 1% and 85% per gold ounce and copper pound sold, respectively, due to higher gold and copper production, lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments from higher ore grade processed, and the sale of La Herradura, partially offset by lower production at our South America and Africa operations.
First nine months 2015 compared to 2014
Consolidated gold production increased 12% due to higher production at our Asia Pacific and South America operations, partially offset by lower production from Africa and North America and the sale of Midas, Jundee and La Herradura. Consolidated copper production increased 175% primarily due to higher production from Asia Pacific as a result of accessing higher grade ore at Batu Hijau.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce and copper pound sold decreased 16% and 67%, respectively, due to lower direct operating costs, lower fuel prices, a favorable Australian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate, and higher gold and copper production, in addition to lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments from higher ore grade mined.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 11% and 75% per gold ounce and copper pound sold, respectively, due to higher gold and copper production, lower stockpile and leach pad inventory adjustments from higher ore grade processed, and the sale of Jundee and La Herradura, partially offset by lower production at our North America and Africa operations.

Depreciation and amortization per ounce increased 14% from higher leach pad inventory adjustments, higher amortization rates and lower production.
First nine months 2015 compared to 2014
Yanacocha, Peru. Gold production increased 9% primarily due to higher leach production from higher ore tons mined at La Quinua, Cerro Negro and Tapado Oeste and higher ore grade milled, partially offset by lower mill throughput and recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 32% due to lower operating costs, higher grade and production, lower leach pad inventory adjustments and favorable by-product credits. Depreciation and amortization per ounce decreased 22% due to higher production and higher ore grade mined.

Newmont maintained its ownership percentage at 50%.
Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Gold and copper production increased 1,427% and 333%, respectively, primarily due to higher ore grade mined from accessing phase 6 ore, higher metal recovery and throughput, and the export issues in 2014. Costs applicable to sales and Depreciation and amortization included $53 and $37, respectively, of abnormal costs related to the suspended operation in the prior year period. Costs applicable to sales decreased 76% per ounce primarily due to higher production and stockpile inventory adjustments in the prior year period, partially offset by higher costs allocated to gold. Costs applicable to sales decreased 81% per pound primarily due to higher production, stockpile inventory adjustments in the prior year period and lower costs allocated to copper. Depreciation and amortization decreased 85% per ounce due to higher production, stockpile inventory adjustments in the prior year period, partially offset by higher costs allocated to gold.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 31% and 50% of Costs applicable to sales for our foreign operations were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately 35% and 46% of Costs applicable to sales for our foreign operations were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased Costs applicable to sales by approximately $33 per ounce and $30 per ounce, net of hedging losses, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by continuing operations was $1,882 in the first nine months of 2015, an increase of $993 from the first nine months of 2014, primarily due to an increase in consolidated gold ounces sold and copper pounds sold, a decrease in direct operating costs and an improvement in working capital, partially offset by a decrease in average realized gold and copper prices.

Other Liquidity Matters
At September 30, 2015, the Company had $2,964 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $1,808 was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to U.S. dollars. At September 30, 2015, $751 of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents was attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily related to our Indonesian and Peruvian operations which is being held to fund those operations and development projects. At September 30, 2015, $1,734 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($992 attributable to Newmont) was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated, may be subject to withholding taxes. The repatriation of this cash and the applicable withholding taxes would generate foreign tax credits in the U.S. As a result, we expect that there would be no additional tax burden upon repatriation after considering the cash cost associated with the withholding taxes.
We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations and flow-through foreign subsidiaries are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.
Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1,611 and $1,497, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties.
61
In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $163 and $192 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We spent $33 and $29 during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities and have classified $26 as a current liability at September 30, 2015.
During the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, capital expenditures were approximately $91 and $90, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations.
For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 4 and 26 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization and Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization
Management uses Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for non-core or certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net earnings (loss), operating earnings (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Although Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements by other companies, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted EBITDA are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Adjusted net income (loss)
Management uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. The net income (loss) adjustments are presented net of tax generally at the Company’s statutory effective tax rate of 35% and net of our partners’ noncontrolling interests when applicable. The impact of the adjustments through the Company’s Valuation allowance is shown separately. The tax valuation allowance adjustment includes items such as foreign tax credits, alternative minimum tax credits, capital losses and disallowed foreign losses. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in
63
part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income (loss) as follows:

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These
64
measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

All-In Sustaining Costs
Newmont has worked to develop a metric that expands on GAAP measures such as cost of goods sold and non-GAAP measures, such as Costs applicable to sales per ounce, to provide visibility into the economics of our mining operations related to expenditures, operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from operations.
Current GAAP-measures used in the mining industry, such as cost of goods sold, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop, and sustain gold production. Therefore, we believe that all-in sustaining costs is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors, and analysts that aid in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and in the investor’s visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.
All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) amounts are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently as a result of differences in the underlying accounting principles, policies applied and in accounting frameworks such as in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), or by reflecting the benefit from selling non-gold metals as a reduction to AISC. Differences may also arise related to definitional differences of sustaining versus development capital activities based upon each company’s internal policies.
65
The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining the all-in sustaining costs measure:
Cost Applicable to Sales - Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current gold production incurred to execute the current mine plan. Costs Applicable to Sales (“CAS”) includes by-product credits from certain metals obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. CAS is accounted for on an accrual basis and excludes Amortization and Reclamation and remediation , which is consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Statement of Consolidated Income. In determining AISC , only the CAS associated with producing and selling an ounce of gold is included in the measure. Therefore, the amount of gold CAS included in AISC is derived from the CAS presented in the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Income less the amount of CAS attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines. The copper CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines is based upon the relative sales percentage of copper and gold sold during the period.
Remediation Costs - Includes accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and the amortization of the related Asset Retirement Cost (“ARC”) for the Company’s operating properties recorded as an ARC asset. Accretion related to ARO and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation and remediation do not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation and remediation associated with current gold production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines.
Advanced Projects and Exploration - Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to increase or enhance current gold production and gold exploration. We note that as current resources are depleted, exploration and advance projects are necessary for us to replace the depleting reserves or enhance the recovery and processing of the current reserves. As this relates to sustaining our gold production, and is considered a continuing cost of a mining company, these costs are included in the AISC measure. These costs are derived from the Advanced projects, research and development and Exploration amounts presented in the Company’s Statement of Consolidated Income less the amount attributable to the production of copper at our Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Batu Hijau , Boddington and Phoenix mines.
General and Administrative - Includes cost related to administrative tasks not directly related to current gold production, but rather related to support our corporate structure and fulfilling our obligations to operate as a public company. Including these expenses in the AISC metric provides visibility of the impact that general and administrative activities have on current operations and profitability on a per ounce basis.
Other expense, net - Includes costs related to regional administration and community development to support current gold production. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses from Other expense, net , such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current gold operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) as disclosed in the Company’s non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Phoenix, Boddington and Batu Hijau mines.
Treatment and Refining Costs - Includes costs paid to smelters for treatment and refining of our concentrates to produce the salable metal. These costs are presented net as a reduction of Sales .
Sustaining Capital - We determined sustaining capital as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current gold production and execute the current mine plan. Capital expenditures to develop new operations, or related to projects at existing operations where these projects will enhance gold production or reserves, are considered development. We determined the breakout of sustaining and development capital costs based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital costs are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the Company’s current gold operations and provide improved transparency related to our
66
ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and copper is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and copper at the Batu Hijau , Boddington and Phoenix mines.

Operating margin per ounce/pound
Operating margin per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by subtracting the costs applicable to sales per ounce of gold and per pound of copper from the average realized gold price per ounce and copper price per pound, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Operating margin per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not
70
necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Operating margin per ounce/pound is calculated as follows:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability; and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Decreases in the market price of gold and copper can also significantly affect the value of our product inventory, stockpiles, and leach pads, and it may be necessary to record a write-down to the net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV represents the estimated future sales price based on short-term and long-term metals prices, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. The primary factors that influence the need to record write-downs of stockpiles, leach pads, and product inventory include short-term and long-term metals prices and costs for production inputs such as labor, fuel and energy, materials and supplies, as well as realized ore grades and recovery rates. The significant assumptions in determining the stockpile, leach pad, and product inventory adjustments for each mine site reporting unit at September 30, 2015 included production cost and capitalized expenditure assumptions unique to each operation, a short-term and long-term gold price of $1,124 and $1,300 per ounce, respectively, a short-term and long-term copper price of $2.39 and $3.00 per pound, respectively, and an Australian to U.S. dollar exchange rate of $0.80.
The NRV measurement involves the use of estimates and assumptions unique to each mining operation regarding current and future operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, production levels, commodity prices, proven and probable reserve quantities, engineering data and other factors. A high degree of judgment is involved in determining such assumptions and estimates and no assurance can be given that actual results will not differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.
Hedging
Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We have and will continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.
By using derivatives, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any
73
collateral or make any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.

Commodity Price Risk
Our provisional gold and copper sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
At September 30, 2015, Newmont had gold sales of 203,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,114 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $25 change in the price for provisionally priced gold sales would have an approximate $2 effect on our net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London P.M. closing settlement price at September 30, 2015 for gold was $1,114 per ounce.

At September 30, 2015, Newmont had copper sales of 138 million pounds priced at an average of $2.30 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.10 change in the price for provisionally priced copper sales would have an approximate $5 effect on our net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at September 30, 2015 for copper was $2.31 per pound.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
During the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
On August 3, 2015, the Company acquired the Cripple Creek & Victor gold mining business (“CC&V”) (see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). As permitted by the SEC Staff interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses, the Company excluded CC&V from the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015. The Company will continue the process of integrating internal controls over financial reporting for CC&V. As of September 30, 2015, assets excluded from management’s assessment totaled $982 and CC&V contributed less than 1% of revenue reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company began outsourcing certain of its information technology and transactional business processes to a third-party provider. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has transitioned certain procure-to-pay processes in its APAC region as well as certain global information technology processes, including infrastructure and application support and the service desk, to the third-party provider. The Company plans to continue transitioning additional information technology and business processes to the third-party provider through the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company has taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting.
There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 26 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as filed with the SEC on July 23, 2015.

At Newmont, safety is a core value and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.
In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards.
The operation of our U.S. based mines is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly
76
increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.
Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.
