    Overview

    Located in Northern Canada, Hope Bay is an 80 km district

    with up to 9 Moz gold potential in the Canadian Arctic and

    is one o the last known undeveloped greenstone belts in

    the world. Newmont controls 100 percent o the belt and

    exploration success over the last ew years continues to

    conrm the districts signicant long-term potential.

    During the rst phase o project development, Newmont

    is moving orward with the initial development o the Doris

    North underground mine. This phase will consist o an

    underground decline providing access or test stoping

    and development drilling. Exploration across the belt and

    development o other known deposits will continue in

    parallel, along with permitting activities or potential uture

    stages.

    I results rom initial underground development and drilling

    are positive, we will advance to operations and Phase

    II development, which will potentially include multiple

    operations at deposits such as Patch 14 (Madrid) and Doris

    Central.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risksand uncertainties, which could cause actual results to dier materially rom uture projected or implied results. Estimates o gold potential have not been prepared in accordance with Industry Guide 7 or CanadianNI 43-101 and are subject to urther exploration and development. As such, they are highly speculative and may not be converted to uture reserves. Even i signicant mineralization is discovered and converted toreserves, it may take many years rom the initial phases o exploration to development and ultimately to production, during which time the economic easibility o production may change. Further project developmentwill depend upon whether uture operating cash fow and other sources o unding are sucient to und project.
