2022 Gold Reserves
96.1
For 2022, Newmont reported 96.1 million ounces of gold Mineral
Reserves, a 3.6 percent increase from the prior year total of 92.8
million ounces. Additions of 8.6 million ounces and acquisitions3
of 3.1 million ounces were partially offset by depletion of 7.2
million ounces and unfavorable net revisions of 1.2 million
ounces.
Additions before revisions of 8.6 million ounces through
exploration and technical studies met the Company’s target despite
higher costs. Notable reserve additions for the year from Newmont’s
operating sites included:
- Cerro Negro added 0.8 million ounces primarily due to drilling
in the Eastern Districts
- Merian added 0.5 million attributable ounces primarily due to
drilling at the Merian 2 open pit
- Tanami added 0.4 million ounces primarily due to drilling at
Liberator and Auron
- Ahafo North added 0.2 million ounces primarily due to
drilling
- Newmont’s 40 percent interest in Pueblo Viejo added 4.4 million
attributable ounces, and its 38.5 percent interest in NGM added 1.4
million attributable ounces
Net unfavorable revisions include 0.5 million ounces at
Yanacocha due to updated models, technical assumptions and revised
mine designs, as well as 0.2 million ounces at Merian and Éléonore
due to revised technical assumptions and costs. Additional net
negative revisions of 0.7 million ounces were attributable to NGM,
mainly at Turquoise Ridge and Carlin. Negative revisions were
partially offset by favorable revisions of 0.5 million ounces at
Pueblo Viejo.
Newmont’s 38.5 percent interest in NGM represented 18.6 million
attributable ounces of gold reserves at year end, compared to 19.3
million ounces at the end of 2021. Newmont's 40 percent interest in
Pueblo Viejo represented 8.2 million attributable ounces of gold
reserves at year end, compared to 3.6 million ounces at the end of
2021.
Gold reserve grade improved 2 percent to 1.09 grams per tonne
compared to 1.06 grams per tonne in the prior year, primarily due
to higher grade reserves from the Company’s 40 percent equity
ownership in Pueblo Viejo and positive results from the Company's
underground managed operations, including Cerro Negro, Tanami and
Musselwhite, as well as increased equity ownership in
Yanacocha.

at Yanacocha and 1.4 million ounces at Conga, while the divestiture
of Agua Rica had an impact of 0.4 million ounces.
Inferred Gold Mineral Resources reported unfavorable net
revisions of 1.8 million ounces, primarily driven by negative
revisions of 0.3 million ounces at Ahafo South underground, 0.2
million ounces at Porcupine open pit, 0.1 million ounces at Ahafo
South open pit and 0.1 million ounces at Éléonore. Additionally,
Pueblo Viejo had negative revisions of 1.2 million attributable
ounces. Negative revisions were partially offset by positive
revisions of 0.2 million ounces at CC&V and 0.2 million
attributable ounces at NGM.
Newmont’s Measured and Indicated Gold Mineral Resource grade
increased slightly to 0.67 grams per tonne compared to 0.66 grams
per tonne in the prior year. Inferred Gold Mineral Resource grade
of 0.70 grams per tonne increased slightly compared to 0.69 grams
per tonne in the prior year.
OTHER METALS
In 2022, copper reserves increased slightly to 15.7 billion
pounds from 15.1 billion pounds in the prior year, primarily due to
increased equity at Yanacocha. Measure and Indicated copper
resources increased slightly to 17.9 billion pounds from 17.8
billion pounds, primarily due to increased equity at Conga and
Yanacocha. Inferred copper resources remained flat at 8.6 billion
pounds as compared to the prior year.
Silver reserves increased to 593 million ounces from 568 million
ounces in the prior year, primarily due to increased equity at
Yanacocha. Measured and Indicated silver resources also increased
to 500 million ounces from 422 million ounces in the prior year,
primarily due to increased equity at Yanacocha and Conga. Inferred
silver resources decreased to 152 million ounces from 163 million
ounces in the prior year, primarily due to the divestiture of Agua
Rica and resource conversion at Cerro Negro.
Lead reserves decreased to 2.3 billion pounds from 2.6 billion
pounds in the prior year, and zinc reserves also decreased to 5.5
billion pounds from 6.3 billion pounds. These decreases were
primarily due to depletion at Peñasquito. Measured and Indicated
lead resources increased to 1.6 billion pounds from 1.2 billion
pounds, while Inferred lead resources decreased to 440 million
pounds from 480 million pounds in the prior year. Measured and
Indicated zinc resources increased to 3.7 billion pounds from 2.7
billion pounds and Inferred zinc resources decreased to 1.0 billion
pounds from 1.1 billion pounds in the prior year. The increases in
Measured and Indicated lead and zinc resources were primarily due
to positive revision at Peñasquito. The decreases in Inferred lead
and zinc resources were primarily due to negative revisions and
conversion at Peñasquito.
EXPLORATION OUTLOOK
Newmont’s attributable exploration expenditure for managed
operations is expected to be approximately $200 million in 2023
with 80 percent of total exploration investment dedicated to
near-mine expansion programs and the remaining 20 percent allocated
to the advancement of greenfield projects.
Additionally, Newmont’s share of exploration investment for its
non-managed joint ventures will total approximately $25
million.
Geographically, the Company expects to invest approximately 32
percent in North America, 30 percent in South America, 18 percent
in Africa and the remainder in Australia and other locations.
________________________________________________
1 North America includes 38.5 percent interest in Nevada Gold
Mines; South America includes Newmont's 40 percent interest in
Pueblo Viejo. 2 Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs) are calculated using
2022 Mineral Reserve pricing for Gold ($1,400/oz.), Copper
($3.50/lb.), Silver ($20.00/oz.), Lead ($1.00/lb.), and Zinc
($1.20/lb.) and Resource pricing for Gold ($1,600/oz.), Copper
($4.00/lb.), Silver ($23.00/oz.), Lead ($1.20/lb.), and Zinc
($1.45/lb.) and metallurgical recoveries for each metal on a site
by site basis, as metal * [(metal price * metal recovery) / (gold
price * gold recovery)]. 3 In 2022, the Company increased its
ownership interest in Yanacocha to 100% by acquiring Buenaventura’s
43.65% and Sumitomo's 5% noncontrolling interest, respectively. 4
In November 2022, Newmont sold its 18.75% ownership in Agua
Rica.
GOLD RESERVE SENSITIVITY
A $100 increase in gold price would result in an approximate
three percent increase in gold reserves while a $100 decrease in
gold price would result in an approximate seven percent decrease in
gold reserves. These sensitivities assume an oil price of $85 per
barrel (WTI), Australian dollar exchange rate of $0.75 and Canadian
dollar exchange rate of $0.80. These sensitivities assume all other
inputs remain equal, including all cost and capital assumptions,
which may impact the reality of these approximate estimates.

Resources, please refer to the tables at the end of this
release.
RESERVE AND RESOURCE TABLES
Proven and probable reserves are based on extensive drilling,
sampling, mine modeling and metallurgical testing from which we
determined economic feasibility. The reference point for mineral
reserves is the point of delivery to the process plant. Metal price
assumptions, adjusted for our exchange rate assumption, are based
on considering such factors as market forecasts, industry consensus
and management estimates. The price sensitivity of reserves depends
upon several factors including grade, metallurgical recovery,
operating cost, waste-to-ore ratio and ore type. Metallurgical
recovery rates vary depending on the metallurgical properties of
each deposit and the production process used. The reserve tables
below list the average metallurgical recovery rate for each
deposit, which takes into account the relevant processing methods.
The cut-off grade, or lowest grade of mineralization considered
economic to process, varies between deposits depending upon
prevailing economic conditions, mineability of the deposit,
by-products, amenability of the ore to gold, copper, silver, lead,
zinc or molybdenum extraction and type of milling or leaching
facilities available. Reserve estimates may have non-material
differences in comparison to our joint venture partners due to
differences in classification and rounding methodology.
The proven and probable reserve figures presented herein are
estimates based on information available at the time of
calculation. No assurance can be given that the indicated levels of
recovery of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc and molybdenum will be
realized. Ounces of gold or silver or pounds of copper, lead, zinc
or molybdenum included in the proven and probable reserves are
those contained prior to losses during metallurgical treatment.
Reserve estimates may require revision based on actual production.
Market fluctuations in the price of gold, copper, silver, lead,
zinc and molybdenum, as well as increased production costs or
reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could render certain proven
and probable reserves containing higher cost reserves uneconomic to
exploit and might result in a reduction of reserves.
The measured, indicated, and inferred resource figures presented
herein are estimates based on information available at the time of
calculation and are exclusive of reserves. A “mineral resource” is
a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic
interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade, or quality
and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality,
continuity and other geological characteristics of a mineral
resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific
geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. The
reference point for mineral resources is in situ. Mineral resources
are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into
inferred, indicated and measured categories. Ounces of gold and
silver or pounds of copper, zinc, lead, and molybdenum included in
the measured, indicated and inferred resources are those contained
prior to losses during metallurgical treatment. The terms "measured
resource," "indicated resource," and "inferred resource" mean that
part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality
are estimated on the basis of geological evidence and sampling that
is considered to be comprehensive, adequate, or limited,
respectively. Market fluctuations in the price of gold, silver,
copper, zinc, lead and molybdenum, as well as increased production
costs or reduced metallurgical recovery rates, could change future
estimates of resources.
We publish reserves annually, and will recalculate reserves at
December 31, 2023, taking into account metal prices, changes, if
any, to future production and capital costs, divestments and
depletion as well as any acquisitions and additions during
2023.
Please refer to the reserves and resources cautionary statement
at the end of the release.

(1)
Resources are reported exclusive of
reserves.
(2)
Resources for NuevaUnión are estimated
based on a molybdenum price set by NuevaUnión joint venture.
Tonnage amounts have been rounded to the nearest 100,000.
(3)
Pounds are estimates of metal contained in
ore tonnages and do not include allowances for processing losses.
Metallurgical recovery rates represent the estimated amount of
metal to be recovered through metallurgical extraction processes.
Pounds may not recalculate as they are rounded to the nearest 10
million.

estimates provided by NuevaUnión joint venture.
(5)
Project is currently undeveloped. Resource
estimates provided by Yamana, the operator of the Agua Rica joint
venture. In November 2022, the Company sold its 18.75% ownership in
Agua Rica. Refer to Note 8 of Newmont's Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Reserve
and Resource Estimates:
The reserves stated herein were prepared in compliance with
Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K adopted by the United States
Securities and Exchanges Commission ("the SEC") and represent the
amount of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc and molybdenum
estimated, at December 31, 2022, could be economically and legally
extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The
term “economically,” as used in this definition, means that
profitable extraction or production has been established or
analytically demonstrated in at a minimum, a pre-feasibility study
to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment and market
assumptions. The term “legally,” as used in this definition, does
not imply that all permits needed for mining and processing have
been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely
resolved. However, for a reserve to exist, Newmont (or our joint
venture partners) must have a justifiable expectation, based on
applicable laws and regulations, that issuance of permits or
resolution of legal issues necessary for mining and processing at a
particular deposit will be accomplished in the ordinary course and
in a timeframe consistent with Newmont’s (or our joint venture
partners’) current mine plans. Reserves in this presentation are
aggregated from the proven and probable classes. The term “Proven
reserves” used in the tables of the appendix means reserves for
which (a) quantity is estimated from dimensions revealed in
outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; (b) grade and/or
quality are estimated from the results of detailed sampling; and
(c) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurements are spaced
so closely and the geologic character is sufficiently defined that
size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well
established. The term “Probable reserves” means reserves for which
quantity and grade are estimated from information similar to that
used for Proven reserves, but the sites for sampling are farther
apart or are otherwise less closely spaced. The degree of
assurance, although lower than that for Proven reserves, is high
enough to assume continuity between points of observation. Newmont
classifies all reserves as Probable on its development projects
until a year of production has confirmed all assumptions made in
the reserve estimates. Proven and Probable reserves include gold,
copper, silver, zinc, lead or molybdenum attributable to Newmont’s
ownership or economic interest. Proven and Probable reserves were
calculated using cut-off grades. The term “cutoff grade” means the
lowest grade of mineralized material considered economic to
process. Cut-off grades vary between deposits depending upon
prevailing economic conditions, mineability of the deposit,
by-products, amenability of the ore to gold, copper, silver, zinc,
lead or molybdenum extraction and type of milling or leaching
facilities available.
Estimates of Proven and Probable reserves are subject to
considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, or will be, to a
large extent, based on the prices of gold, silver, copper, zinc,
lead and molybdenum and interpretations of geologic data obtained
from drill holes and other exploration techniques, which data may
not necessarily be indicative of future results. If our reserve
estimations are required to be revised using significantly lower
gold, silver, zinc, copper, lead and molybdenum prices as a result
of a decrease in commodity prices, increases in operating costs,
reductions in metallurgical recovery or other modifying factors,
this could result in material write-downs of our investment in
mining properties, goodwill and increased amortization, reclamation
and closure charges. Producers use pre-feasibility and feasibility
studies for undeveloped ore bodies to derive estimates of capital
and operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of
ore to be mined and processed, the predicted configuration of the
ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, the costs
of comparable facilities, the costs of operating and processing
equipment and other factors. Actual operating and capital cost and
economic returns on projects may differ significantly from original
estimates. Further, it may take many years from the initial phases
of exploration until commencement of production, during which time,
the economic feasibility of production may change. Estimates of
resources are subject to further exploration and development, are
subject to additional risks, and no assurance can be given that
they will eventually convert to future reserves. Inferred
resources, in particular, have a great amount of uncertainty as to
their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. Investors
are cautioned not to assume that any part of all of the Inferred
resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. The Company
cannot be certain that any part or parts of the resource will ever
be converted into reserves. In addition, if the price of gold,
silver, copper, zinc, lead or molybdenum declines from recent
levels, if production costs increase, grades decline, recovery
rates decrease or if applicable laws and regulations are adversely
changed, the indicated level of recovery may not be realized or
mineral reserves or resources might not be mined or processed
profitably. If we determine that certain of our mineral reserves or
resources have become uneconomic, this may ultimately lead to a
reduction in our aggregate reported mineral reserves and resources.
Consequently, if our actual mineral reserves and resources are less
than current estimates, our business, prospects, results of
operations and financial position may be materially impaired. For
additional information see the “Proven and Probable Reserve" and
"Measured and Indicated and Inferred Resource" tables herein and in
the Company’s Form 10-K, filed on February 23, 2023, with the
SEC.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward
Looking Statements:
This release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such
sections and other applicable laws. Such forward-looking statements
may include, without limitation, estimates and expectations of
future production, reserve estimates, exploration outlook and
expected expenditure, and operational and financial performance.
Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as
to future events or results, such expectation or belief is
expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis.
However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties,
assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to
differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the
“forward-looking statements”. Such assumptions, include, but are
not limited to the key assumptions set forth herein. Investors are
also encouraged to refer to the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, filed on
February 23, 2023, with the SEC under the headings “Risk Factors”
and “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information, The
Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly
revisions to any “forward-looking statement,” including, without
limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the
date of this news release, or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable
securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of
update to a previously issued “forward-looking statement”
constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance
on “forward-looking statements” is at investors' own risk.
