 Disclaimers  2  Additional Information and Where to Find It  Slide 15 of this document may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Newmont Corporation (Newmont) in connection with Newmont’s proposed acquisition of 100% of the issued shares in Newcrest Mining Limited (Newcrest) by way of a scheme of arrangement (the Newmont Transaction). In connection with the Newmont Transaction, Newmont intends to file relevant materials with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Newmont’s proxy statement in preliminary and definitive form. Newcrest and Newmont intend for the Newmont Transaction to be implemented by means of a court-approved scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act of 2001 (Cth), in which case the issuance of Newmont’s shares as consideration in the Newmont Transaction would not be expected to require registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), pursuant to an exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF NEWMONT ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING NEWMONT’S PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEWMONT TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES TO THE NEWMONT TRANSACTION. Investors and stockholders will be  able to obtain the proxy statement and any other documents (once available) free of charge through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Investors and stockholders will be able to obtain those documents released by Newcrest to the ASX announcements platform free of charge at the ASX’s website at www.asx.com.au. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by Newmont will be available free of charge on Newmont’s website at www.newmont.com. Copies of the documents filed with the ASX by Newcrest will be available free of charge on Newcrest’s website at www.newcrest.com.  Participants in the Solicitation  Newcrest, Newmont and their respective directors, executive officers and certain other members of management may be deemed to be “participants” in the solicitation of proxies from Newmont’s stockholders in respect of the Newmont Transaction. Information about Newmont’s directors and executive officers is set forth in Newmont’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A for its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023 and subsequent statements of changes in beneficial ownership on file with the SEC. Information about Newcrest’s directors and executive officers is set forth in Newcrest’s Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and the Annual Information Form dated 14 December 2022, as updated from time to time via announcements made by Newcrest on the ASX. These documents are available free of charge from the sources indicated above. Additional information regarding the interests of potential participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Newmont Transaction, which may, in some cases, be different than those of Newmont’s stockholders generally, will also be included in Newmont’s proxy statement relating to the Newmont Transaction, when it becomes available.  No Offer or Solicitation  This document does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of any such jurisdiction.  Forward Looking Statements  This document includes forward looking statements and forward looking information within the meaning of securities laws of applicable jurisdictions, including within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend the forward-looking statements contained in this communication to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of such Acts.

Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licences and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of resources or reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which Newcrest operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation. 

 Disclaimers  In addition, with respect to the Newmont Transaction, relevant factors may include, among others: (1) the risk that the Newmont Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, (2) the failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals of the Newmont Transaction by Newmont stockholders or Newcrest shareholders or the required approval of the scheme of arrangement by the Australian court, (3) the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the Newmont Transaction may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure to receive any required regulatory approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals), (4) the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for Newcrest or Newmont will be made, (5) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the scheme implementation deed with respect to the Newmont Transaction, including in circumstances which would require Newcrest to pay a termination fee, (6) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Newmont Transaction on Newcrest’s ability to retain and hire key personnel, its ability to maintain relationships with its customers, suppliers and others with whom it does business, or its operating results and business generally, (7) risks related to diverting management’s attention from Newcrest’s ongoing business operations, (8) the risk of litigation in connection with the Newmont Transaction, including resulting expense or delay, and (9) (A) those risks discussed in Newcrest’s Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and the Annual Information Form dated 14 December 2022, and (B) those risks discussed in other documents Newcrest files with the ASX and the Canadian Securities Administrators. For further information as to the risks which may impact Newcrest’s results and performance, please see the risk factors discussed in the Operating and Financial Review included in the Appendix 4E and Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and the Annual Information Form dated 14 December 2022 which are available to view at www.asx.com.au under the code “NCM” and on Newcrest’s SEDAR profile.  Forward looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and reflect Newcrest’s good faith assumptions, judgements, estimates and other information available as at the date of this report and/or the date of Newcrest’s planning or scenario analysis processes as to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect Newcrest’s business and operations in the future. Newcrest does not give any assurance that the assumptions will prove to be correct. There may be other factors that could cause actual results or events not to be as anticipated, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of Newcrest. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements, particularly in the current economic climate with the significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption caused by global events such as geopolitical tensions, the inflationary environment, rising interest rates and the COVID-19 pandemic. Forward looking statements in this document speak only at the date of issue. Except as required by applicable laws or regulations, Newcrest does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward looking statements or to advise of any change in assumptions on which any such statement is based.  Non-IFRS Financial Information  Newcrest’s results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This document includes certain non-IFRS financial information within the meaning of ASIC Regulatory Guide 230: ‘Disclosing non-IFRS financial information’ published by ASIC and ‘non-GAAP information’ within the meaning of National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures published by the Canadian Securities Administrators.  Such information includes: ‘Underlying profit’ (profit or loss after tax before significant items attributable to owners of the Company); ‘EBITDA’ (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, and significant items); EBIT (earnings before interest, tax and significant items); ‘EBITDA Margin’ (EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenue); ‘EBIT Margin’ (EBIT expressed as a percentage of revenue); ‘ROCE’ (‘Return on capital employed’ and calculated as EBIT expressed as a percentage of average total capital employed (net debt and total equity)); ‘Net debt to EBITDA’ (calculated as net debt divided by EBITDA for the preceding 12 months); ‘Free Cash Flow’ (calculated as cash flow from operating activities less cash flow related to investing activities, with Free Cash Flow for each operating site calculated as Free Cash Flow before interest, tax and intercompany transactions); ‘Free Cash Flow before M&A activity’ (being ‘Free Cash Flow’ excluding acquisitions, investments in associates and divestments); and ‘AISC’ (All-In Sustaining Cost) and ‘AIC’ (All-In Cost) as per updated World Gold Council Guidance Note on Non-GAAP Metrics released November 2018. AISC will vary from period to period as a result of various factors including production performance, timing of sales and the level of sustaining capital and the relative contribution of each asset. AISC Margin reflects the average realised gold price less the AISC per ounce sold.  These measures are used internally by Management to assess the performance of the business and make decisions on the allocation of resources and are included in this document to provide greater understanding of the underlying financial performance of Newcrest’s operations. The non-IFRS information has not been subject to audit or review by Newcrest’s external auditor and should be used in addition to IFRS information. Such non-IFRS financial information/non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS and may be calculated differently by other companies. Although Newcrest believes these non-IFRS/non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in measuring the financial performance and condition of its business, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non- IFRS financial information/non-GAAP financial measures included in this document. When reviewing business performance, this non-IFRS information should be used in addition to, and not as a replacement of, measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, available on Newcrest’s website and the ASX and SEDAR platforms.  Reliance on Third Party Information  This document contains information that has been obtained from third parties and has not been independently verified, including estimates and actual outcomes that relate to production and AISC for Fruta del Norte.

 Endnotes  20  Under the proposal by Newmont to acquire 100% of the issued shares in Newcrest by way of a scheme of arrangement, Newcrest shareholders will be entitled to receive 0.400 Newmont shares for each Newcrest share held.  Newcrest expects to have sufficient franking credits available to frank a dividend to an amount of US$1.10 per share. The franking of the special dividend amount is subject to change based on timing of completion of the transaction, business performance, foreign exchange movements and ATO ruling.  Based on: 1) exchange ratio of 0.400x (with implied Newcrest price calculated using Newmont’s closing price on the NYSE of US$45.94 per share as of 12 May 2023); 2) a franked special dividend of up to US$1.10 per share; and 3) an AUD:USD FX rate of 0.665 as of 12 May 2023.  Undisturbed closing price of A$22.45 per share, representing the last trading day prior to Newcrest’s 6 February 2023 market release confirming Newmont’s previous proposals.  The Newcrest Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Newmont transaction in the absence of a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Scheme Implementation Deed), and subject to the Independent Expert concluding and continuing to conclude that the Newmont transaction is in the best interests of Newcrest shareholders.  Newcrest has a 70% joint venture interest in the Red Chris mine.  Newcrest has a 32% equity interest in Lundin Gold Inc, the owner of the Fruta del Norte mine.  Newcrest has a 70% interest in the Havieron Project (Greatland Gold 30%).  Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates for Newcrest are as at 30 June 2022 based on the release titled “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement – as at 30 June 2022” dated 19 August 2022 which is available to view at www.asx.com.au under the code “NCM” and on Newcrest’s SEDAR profile. Ore Reserve estimates of tonnes, grade and metal content by confidence classification are detailed on Slide 26 and Mineral Resource estimates of tonnes, grade and metal content by confidence classification are detailed on Slides 27-28. Scientific and technical studies are in progress to assess and estimate Newcrest’s Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves for Brucejack.  Newcrest defines Tier 1 assets as those having potential for >300kozpa Au at 15 years (preferred) and significant resource or exploration upside likely. Newcrest defines Tier 2 assets as those having potential for >200kozpa Au at 10 years (preferred) and moderate resource or exploration upside likely. Classification of assets as Tier 1 or Tier 2 is not dispositive of, and does not necessarily imply, the materiality of such assets to Newcrest.  Historical Ore Reserves and Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources are based on the Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement for each relevant period which are available to view at www.asx.com.au under the code “NCM” and on Newcrest’s SEDAR profile. All Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are rounded to two significant figures to reflect appropriate precision in the estimates. This may cause some apparent discrepancies in totals.  Historical production is based on figures reported in the “Cadia operations New South Wales NI 43-101 Technical Report” dated 14 October 2020 (Cadia East Mine plus Ridgeway plus Cadia Hill Open Pit as reported on pages 53, 54 and 55), plus FY21 and FY22 production reported in the Newcrest FY22 Annual Report dated 4 October 2022 which is available to view at www.asx.com.au under the code “NCM” and on Newcrest’s SEDAR profile.  Subject to marketing and operating conditions, further studies, all necessary approvals, permits, internal and regulatory requirements and further works and no unforeseen delays.  Subject to market and operating conditions and no unforeseen delays.  The Exploration Target is exclusive of the current published resource and relates to the portion of the deposit that has not yet been adequately drill tested. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The grades and tonnages are estimates based on continuity of mineralisation defined by exploration diamond drilling results (previously reported including relevant sections and plans) within the Redstock Intrusive with the lower range estimate in the area with a nominal drill hole spacing of 100m x 100m and the upper range estimate extended into the area with a nominal drill hole spacing of 100m x 200m. East Ridge is outside of Newcrest’s initial Mineral Resource estimate. Diamond drilling continues to define the extent and continuity of this higher grade mineralisation. At least 5 additional diamond drill holes are planned, at a minimum, to test and close out the target mineralisation. This program is expected to be completed by the second quarter of calendar year 2023. The Exploration Target has been referenced from Newcrest’s release titled “Red Chris exploration success expands East Ridge Exploration Target delivering additional mining potential” dated 14 March 2023 which is available at www.asx.com.au under the code “NCM” and on Newcrest’s SEDAR profile.  Indicative only and should not be construed as guidance. Subject to market and operating conditions, all necessary approvals, regulatory requirements, further studies, and no unforeseen delays.  Total cash flows of $470 million (net of withholding taxes) includes the early repayment of the gold prepay credit facility of $173 million from Lundin Gold in January 2023.
