FOURTH QUARTER 2022 ADJUSTED NET INCOME
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Newmont reported Adjusted Net Income of $348 million or $0.44 per share due to higher sales volumes and higher realized gold prices compared to the third quarter. Significant non-cash accounting charges were adjusted out of the Company's earnings, compared to GAAP Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $(1.5) billion, primarily related to impairment charges of $1.3 billion and reclamation charges of $700 million recorded at year end in conjunction with the Company's annual review.
- $511 million impairment of long-lived assets at CC&V; primarily due to the decision to transition to a leach-only operation, resulting in lower future production and reduced future cash flows from the site
- $459 million impairment of the full goodwill balance at Cerro Negro; primarily due to lower discounted cash flows from an increase in the country specific discount rate, reflective of current macroeconomic risk and uncertainty in Argentina
- $341 million impairment of the full goodwill balance at Porcupine; primarily due to lower discounted cash flows from higher costs driven by inflationary pressures and the expansion of the active tailings storage facility, ensuring compliance with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM)
- $529 million reclamation adjustment at Yanacocha; primarily due to updated capital costs for construction of the two water treatment plants due to updated design considerations, recent inflation and supply chain disruption impacts on the estimated construction costs and higher post-closure management costs
- $91 million reclamation adjustment at Porcupine; primarily due to higher water management and other closure costs due to inflationary pressures
The site-specific goodwill amounts originated from the Goldcorp purchase price allocation four years ago, which was based on best estimates of each site's value and country-risk assumptions at that time. Non-cash accounting charges have been adjusted out of the Company's earnings metrics for the fourth quarter and full year.
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2022 FINANCIAL AND PRODUCTION SUMMARY
Attributable gold production1 for the year remained flat at 5,956 thousand ounces compared to the prior year.
Attributable gold production for the fourth quarter remained flat at 1,630 thousand ounces compared to the prior year quarter.
Gold CAS totaled $5.4 billion for the year. Gold CAS per ounce2 increased 19 percent to $933 per ounce compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher direct operating costs as a result of inflationary pressures, driven by higher labor costs and higher input commodity prices, notably fuel and energy costs. In addition, costs were impacted by inventory write-downs at Nevada Gold Mines, Yanacocha, CC&V and Akyem, lower by-product credits, the Peñasquito Profit-Sharing Agreement entered into in 2022 and lower gold sales volumes.
Gold CAS increased 17 percent to $1.5 billion from the prior year quarter. Gold CAS per ounce increased 17 percent to $940 per ounce compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher direct operating costs as a result of inflationary pressures and higher third party royalties.
Gold AISC per ounce3 increased 14 percent to $1,211 per ounce compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher CAS per ounce and higher sustaining capital spend.
Gold AISC per ounce increased 15 percent to $1,215 per ounce compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher CAS per ounce and higher sustaining capital spend.
Attributable GEO production from other metals for the year remained largely flat at 1,275 thousand ounces compared to the prior year.
Attributable GEO production from other metals for the quarter decreased 7 percent to 296 thousand ounces from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower co-product grades mined at Peñasquito, partially offset by higher copper grade mined at Boddington.
CAS from other metals totaled $1.0 billion for the year. CAS per GEO2 increased 28 percent to $819 per ounce from the prior year, primarily due to higher direct operating costs as a result of inflationary pressures, as well as the Peñasquito Profit-Sharing Agreement entered into in 2022.
CAS from other metals totaled $267 million for the quarter. CAS per GEO increased 16 percent to $857 per ounce from the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher direct operating costs as a result of inflationary pressures and higher allocation of costs to co-product metals, partially offset by favorable inventory changes.
AISC per GEO3 for the year increased 24 percent to $1,114 per ounce from the prior year primarily due to higher CAS from other metals, higher treatment and refining costs, and higher sustaining capital spend.
AISC per GEO for the quarter increased 16 percent to $1,166 per ounce from the prior year quarter primarily due to higher CAS from other metals, higher treatment and refining costs, and higher sustaining capital spend.
Average realized gold price for the year increased $4 per ounce to $1,792 per ounce compared to the prior year, including $1,800 per ounce of gross price received and $8 per ounce reductions for treatment and refining charges.
Average realized gold price for the quarter decreased $40 per ounce to $1,758 per ounce compared to the prior year quarter, including $1,751 per ounce of gross price received, the favorable impact of $12 per ounce mark-to-market on provisionally-priced sales and $5 per ounce reductions for treatment and refining charges.
Revenue for the year remained largely flat at $11.9 billion compared to the prior year.
Revenue for the quarter decreased 6 percent to $3.2 billion compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower realized gold prices.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the year was $(0.5) billion or $(0.58) per diluted share, a decrease of $1.6 billion from the prior year primarily due to the impairment of goodwill at Cerro Negro of $459 million and Porcupine of $341 million, impairment of long-lived assets at CC&V of $511 million, higher CAS predominately resulting from cost inflation impacts and lower sales volumes for all metals except copper. These decreases were partially offset by lower reclamation and remediation expense resulting from adjustments mainly related to non-operating Yanacocha sites, lower income tax expense and the loss on assets held for sale in 2021 related to the Conga mill assets.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Newmont stockholders for the quarter was $(1.5) billion or $(1.87) per diluted share, a decrease of $1.4 billion from the prior year quarter primarily due to the impairment charges recorded in the fourth quarter and higher CAS predominately resulting from cost inflation impacts. These decreases were partially offset by lower reclamation and remediation expense resulting from adjustments mainly related to non-operating Yanacocha sites, and lower income and mining tax expense.
Adjusted net income4 for the year was $1.5 billion or $1.85 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 billion or $2.96 per diluted share in the prior year. Primary adjustments to 2022 net income include total impairment charges of $1.3 billion, reclamation and remediation adjustments primarily related to non-operating Yanacocha and Porcupine sites of $713 million and a pension settlement charge of $137 million.
Adjusted net income for the quarter was $348 million or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $624 million or $0.78 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Primary adjustments to fourth quarter net income include total impairment charges of $1.3 billion, reclamation and remediation adjustments of $700 million and a gain on asset and investment sales of $61 million primarily related to the sale of the investment in MARA.
Adjusted EBITDA5 for the year decreased 24 percent to $4.6 billion, compared to $6.0 billion for the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter decreased 27 percent to $1.2 billion for the quarter, compared to $1.6 billion for the prior year quarter.
Capital expenditures6 increased 29 percent to $2.1 billion for the full year and increased 46 percent to $646 million for the quarter, compared to prior year, primarily due to higher development capital spend during a period of meaningful reinvestment, as well as slightly higher sustaining capital. Development capital expenditures in 2022 primarily related to Tanami Expansion 2, Yanacocha Sulfides, Ahafo North, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1.
Consolidated operating cash flow from continuing operations decreased 25 percent to $3.2 billion for the full year compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in operating cash expenditures resulting from the impacts of inflation on input costs and lower consolidated sales volumes, as well as several payments made during the year, including a $95 million payment related to the Peñasquito profit-sharing agreement related to 2021 results, an $83 million payment related to the Ghanaian employment model change and a $39 million payment related to our strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc.
Consolidated operating cash flow from continuing operations decreased 22 percent to $1.0 billion for the quarter compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in operating cash expenditures resulting from the impacts of inflation on input costs, lower consolidated sales volumes and lower average realized metal prices for all metals except silver.
Free Cash Flow7 decreased to $1.1 billion for the full year and $0.4 billion for the quarter, compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower operating cash flow and higher capital expenditures.

Progressing Profitable Near-Tear Projects from Unmatched Organic Pipeline
Newmont's project pipeline supports stable production with improving margins and mine life*. Newmont's 2023 and longer-term outlook includes current development capital costs and production related to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1. Development capital outlook for 2023 and 2024 includes spend related to the Yanacocha Sulfides project ahead of the investment decision planned for late 2024; additional development capital spend and all metal production for Yanacocha Sulfides has been excluded from longer-term outlook beginning in 2025.
Additional projects not listed below represent incremental improvements to the Company's outlook.
- Tanami Expansion 2 (Australia) secures Tanami's future as a long-life, low-cost producer by extending mine life beyond 2040 through the addition of a 1,460 meter hoisting shaft and supporting infrastructure to process 3.3 million tonnes per year and provide a platform for future growth. The expansion is expected to increase average annual gold production by approximately 150,000 to 200,000 ounces per year for the first five years and reduce operating costs by approximately 10 percent, bringing average all-in sustaining costs to $900 to $1,000 per ounce for Tanami (2026-2030). Commercial production for the project is expected in the second half of 2025. As previously indicated in July 2022, total capital costs are estimated to be between $1.2 and $1.3 billion, incorporating the significant impacts from Covid-related restrictions and protocols and the current market conditions for labor and materials. Development costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $499 million, of which $215 million related to 2022.
- Ahafo North (Africa) expands our existing footprint in Ghana with four open pit mines and a stand-alone mill located approximately 30 kilometers from the Company's Ahafo South operations. The project is expected to add between 275,000 and 325,000 ounces per year with all-in sustaining costs of $800 to $900 per ounce for the first five full years of production. Ahafo North is the best unmined gold deposit in West Africa with approximately 3.8 million ounces of Reserves and 1.4 million ounces of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources and significant upside potential to extend beyond Ahafo North's current 13-year mine life. Commercial production for the project is expected in the second half of 2025. As previously indicated in July 2022, total capital costs are estimated to be between $950 and $1,050 million, incorporating the cost associated with delayed land access. Development costs (excluding capitalized interest) since approval were $212 million, of which $145 million related to 2022.
- Yanacocha Sulfides (South America) will develop the first phase of sulfide deposits and an integrated processing circuit, including an autoclave to produce 45% gold, 45% copper and 10% silver. The first phase focuses on developing the Yanacocha Verde and Chaquicocha deposits to extend Yanacocha's operations beyond 2040 with second and third phases having the potential to extend life for multiple decades. In the third quarter of 2022, Newmont announced the decision to delay the project in order to manage project execution risk, move out of a period of significant inflation and to balance development capital cash flows. Management continues to assess the execution and project timeline, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure; the project remains subject to an investment decision. Development capital spend on the project is expected to be approximately $300 to $350 million per year in 2023 and 2024 related to advanced engineering, procurement and completing camp construction.
- Pamour (North America) extends the life of Porcupine and maintains production beyond 2024. The project will optimize mill capacity, adding volume and supporting high grade ore from Borden and Hoyle Pond, while supporting further exploration in a highly prospective and proven mining district. An investment decision is now expected in late 2023 as opportunities have been identified to extend production from current operations, allowing for a deferral of project spending. Formal updates to capital estimates and estimated project completion will be provided closer to the investment decision.
- Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 (South America) includes the simultaneous development of the Marianas and Eastern districts to extend the mine life of Cerro Negro beyond 2030. The project is expected to improve production to above 350,000 ounces beginning in 2024 and provides a platform for further exploration and future growth through additional expansions. Development capital costs for the project are now estimated to be between $350 and $450 million, incorporating inflationary pressures and supply chain impacts in Argentina.
* Project estimates remain subject to change based upon uncertainties, including future market conditions, continued impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, inflation, commodities and raw materials prices, supply chain disruptions, labor markets, engineering and mine plan assumptions, future funding decisions, consideration of strategic capital allocation and other factors, which may impact estimated capital expenditures, AISC and timing of projects. See end of this release for cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements. |

2023 AND LONGER-TERM OUTLOOK HIGHLIGHTS
- As previously signaled, 2023 production guidance is between 5.7 and 6.3 million gold ounces; steadily improves to between 6.1 and 6.7 million ounces in the longer-term, driven by strong production from world-class assets and an unmatched organic project pipeline; further enhanced by profitable production from other metals
- Gold CAS guidance is $870 to $970 per ounce and Gold AISC guidance is $1,150 to $1,250 per ounce for 2023, improving longer-term due to declining inflationary pressure assumptions and increased production levels
- Sustaining capital guidance is $1.0 to $1.2 billion for 2023, consistent with longer-term averages
- Development capital guidance is $1.2 to $1.4 billion for 2023 and 2024 during a period of meaningful reinvestment; longer-term development capital is expected to average between $0.8 to $1.0 billion per year
Newmont's outlook reflects increasing gold production and ongoing investment into its operating assets and most promising growth prospects. Newmont's reserves and mine planning gold price assumption has been set at $1,400 per ounce. 2023 outlook assumes a $1,700 per ounce revenue gold price for CAS and AISC to reflect current cost environment including royalties and production taxes. For 2023, Newmont has assumed normalizing levels of inflation, improving throughout the year, with a year-over-year average escalation rate of approximately 3%.
Outlook includes development capital, costs and production related to Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1. Development capital outlook for 2023 and 2024 includes spend related to the Yanacocha Sulfides project ahead of the investment decision planned for late 2024; additional development capital spend and all metal production for Yanacocha Sulfides has been excluded from longer-term outlook beginning in 2025. As previously signaled, Newmont is critically assessing options for the Yanacocha Sulfides project, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure, which may have an impact on expected capital spend included in outlook for 2023 and 2024.
Please see the cautionary statement and footnotes for additional information.

*Consolidated basis |
Attributable gold production is expected to be steadily improving at 5.7 to 6.7 million ounces across the five-year period. This is supported by a steady base from Newmont's world class assets and is further enhanced by the Company's other operating mines and ownership in the Nevada Gold Mines and Pueblo Viejo joint ventures. The 2023 outlook of 5.7 to 6.3 million ounces is expected to remain stable compared to 2022, driven by strong production at Ahafo and Boddington, partially offset by decreases at Peñasquito due to planned mine sequencing, the updated mine plan for a leach-only operation at CC&V and the previously signaled delay of commercial production at Ahafo North and Tanami Expansion 2 to 2025. Beginning in 2024, production is expected to increase to between 5.9 and 6.5 million ounces, increasing to between 6.1 to 6.7 million ounces longer-term in 2026, due to natural mine sequencing and the inclusion of profitable production from Ahafo North and Tanami Expansion 2, in addition to reaching higher gold grade at Peñasquito.
Costs are expected to improve throughout the five-year period, driven by declining inflationary pressure assumptions, increasing production levels and cost reduction initiatives. 2023 CAS is expected to be between $870 and $970 per ounce, with approximately 3% in cost escalation assumed as cost pressures are expected to persist from 2022. Longer-term, CAS is expected to improve to between $750 and $850 per ounce beginning in 2026 with the benefit of the near-term projects at Tanami and Ahafo North contributing profitable production, in addition to an improving cost and production profile at Nevada Gold Mines. AISC is expected to be between $1,150 and $1,250 per ounce in 2023, and improve to between $1,000 and $1,100 per ounce longer-term beginning in 2025.

*Consolidated basis |
In 2023, Boddington is expected to have the highest copper production during the five-year period due to higher grades as a result of mine sequencing. Beginning in 2023 and continuing through 2025, Peñasquito is expected to deliver higher co-product production due to higher silver, lead and zinc content delivered from the Chile Colorado pit.
CAPITAL OUTLOOK
Guidance Metric ($M) | 2023E | 2024E | 2025E | 2026E | 2027E |
Sustaining Capital* | $1,000 - $1,200 | $1,000 - $1,200 | $1,000 - $1,200 | $1,000 - $1,200 | $1,000 - $1,200 |

*Sustaining capital is presented on an attributable basis; Capital outlook excludes amounts attributable to the Pueblo Viejo joint venture |
Sustaining capital is expected to remain steady at $1 to $1.2 billion per year over the five year period, covering infrastructure, equipment and ongoing mine development. This incorporates slightly higher spend as compared to 2022 due to higher costs driven by inflationary pressures and increased projected spend on tailings facilities in compliance with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM).
Development capital for the five-year outlook includes spend for Tanami Expansion 2 in Australia, Ahafo North in Ghana, Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 in Argentina, Pamour at Porcupine in Canada, as well as development capital related to the Company's ownership interest in Nevada Gold Mines including Goldrush. Outlook for 2023 and 2024 includes development capital spend of approximately $300 to $350 million per year related to the Yanacocha Sulfides project under the assumption that an investment decision would be made in late 2024; remaining development capital beyond 2024 has been excluded from longer-term outlook. As previously signaled, Newmont is critically assessing options for the Yanacocha Sulfides project, up to and including transitioning Yanacocha operations into full closure, which may have an impact on expected capital spend included in outlook for 2023 and 2024.
Development capital estimates exclude contributions to support Newmont's 40% interest in the Pueblo Viejo expansion, which is accounted for as an equity method investment.
EXPLORATION AND ADVANCED PROJECTS OUTLOOK
Guidance Metric ($M) | 2023E |
Exploration & Advanced Projects | $475 - $525 |
In 2023, investment in exploration and advanced projects is expected to increase slightly to between $475 and $525 million to advance greenfield exploration projects, extend mine life at existing operations and continue building reserves. We expect to invest approximately $225 million dollars in exploration expense to progress our most promising greenfield exploration projects including Esperance in French Guiana and the Coffee project in the Yukon. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $275 million in advanced projects spend, as we continue to advance studies associated with our robust pipeline of projects, including Galore Creek and Akyem Underground. Included in our expected advanced projects spend is approximately $40 million related to our strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc.
CONSOLIDATED EXPENSE OUTLOOK
Guidance Metric ($M) | 2023E |
General & Administrative | $260 - $290 |
Interest Expense | $200 - $220 |
Depreciation & Amortization | $2,200 - $2,400 |
Adjusted Tax Rate a,b | 32% - 36% |
a The adjusted tax rate excludes certain items such as tax valuation allowance adjustments. |
b Assuming average prices of $1,700 per ounce for gold, $3.50 per pound for copper, $20.00 per ounce for silver, $0.90 per pound for lead, and $1.35 per pound for zinc and achievement of current production, sales and cost estimates, we estimate our consolidated adjusted effective tax rate related to continuing operations for 2023 will be between 32%-36%. |
The 2023 outlook for general and administrative costs remains flat at $260 to $290 million. Interest expense is expected to decrease slightly to between $200 to $220 million from higher levels of capitalized interest on development capital spend in 2023. Depreciation and amortization remains flat at $2.2 to $2.4 billion, with steady production expected in 2023 compared to 2022. The adjusted tax rate is increasing to between 32% and 36% due to higher costs and a lower of $1,700 per ounce gold price assumption, as compared to the $1,800 per ounce gold price assumption used for 2022 Outlook.

2023 Dividend Payout Range Established Within Dividend Framework; Declares Fourth Quarter Dividend of $0.40 Per Share
Newmont today announced that its Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of 2022, payable on March 23, 2023 to holders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2023.
INDUSTRY-LEADING DIVIDEND FRAMEWORK
- Base dividend of $1.00 per share at gold reserve price assumption of $1,400 per ounce
- Variable component based on $40 million of incremental Free Cash Flow for every $100 per ounce increase above base gold price assumption; calibrated in increments of $300 per ounce
- Variable component is assessed annually in alignment with the business planning cycle, considering the current macroeconomic environment and the current level of reinvestment in the business
- Supported by strong and flexible investment grade balance sheet
- Dividend payouts are reviewed and approved quarterly by Newmont's Board of Directors
MAINTAINING PREDICTABILITY IN 2023
- Calibrating 2023 dividend at $1,700 per ounce, remaining conservative in a volatile macroeconomic environment
- In addition, Newmont expects elevated levels of development capital to advance key projects in 2023 of approximately $400 million above the average annual investment level of $2.5 billion
- As a result, incremental free cash flow at the $1,700 per ounce gold price assumption is expected to be approximately $800 million in 2023
- Therefore, Newmont has set the variable, incremental dividend payout range of $0.40 to $0.80 per share, resulting in a 2023 annualized dividend payout range of $1.40 to $1.80 per share1
"Newmont remains committed to our industry-leading dividend framework, providing a stable base dividend of $1.00 per share and the opportunity to return a variable component based on incremental free cash flow at higher gold prices to shareholders. For 2023, Newmont has calibrated our dividend payout range to $1.40 to $1.80 per share, with a fourth quarter dividend declared of $0.40 per share. Two and a half years ago, Newmont was the first in the gold industry to introduced a structured dividend framework, and with this dividend declared we will have since returned over $4 billion to shareholders through dividends, clearly demonstrating our commitment to providing strong shareholder returns."
- Tom Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer
1 Expectations regarding 2023 dividend levels are forward-looking statements. The dividend framework is non-binding and an annual dividend level has not been declared by the Board. The declaration and payment of future quarterly dividends remains at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's financial results, cash flow and cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. See cautionary statement at the end of this release. |
2023 Production and Cost Outlook by Site
Peñasquito | |||
2023E | Production (oz) / (lb) | CAS ($/unit) | AISC ($/unit) |
Gold (Koz) | 330 - 370 | $840 - $940 | $1,110 - $1,210 |
Silver (Moz) | 31 - 35 | $11.10 - $12.10 | $15.50 - $16.50 |
Lead (Mlb) | 170 - 190 | $0.55 - $0.65 | $0.70 - $0.80 |
Zinc (Mlb) | 420 - 460 | $0.65 - $0.75 | $1.05 - $1.15 |
Peñasquito is expected to deliver lower gold production in 2023 as planned due to lower grade, harder ore mined from the Chile Colorado pit and continued stripping of the next phases of the Peñasco and Chile Colorado pits. Due to this planned mine sequence, gold grade in 2023 is expected to decline approximately 25 percent from 2022. Notably, 2023 production is expected to be weighted in the first and third quarters of the year as the operation sequences processing of Chile Colorado ore. In 2024, gold production is expected to improve due to mine phasing leading to the processing of higher grade ore.
Increased co-product production at Peñasquito is expected in 2023 due to higher silver, lead and zinc content delivered from the Chile Colorado pit.
Gold unit costs at Peñasquito are expected to be impacted by lower production volumes in 2023, while co-product unit costs are expected to benefit from higher production volumes.
Boddington | |||
2023E | Production (oz) / (lb) | CAS ($/unit) | AISC ($/unit) |

Gold production at Boddington is expected to remain relatively consistent in 2023 as compared to 2022. Based on mine sequencing, gold production is expected to decline in 2024 and 2025 due to lower grade ore and stripping in the South pit.
Increased copper production at Boddington is expected in 2023 due to higher grade and mill throughput.
Gold unit costs at Boddington are expected to remain relatively consistent in 2023 with 2022 levels, while copper unit costs are expected to increase slightly due to higher direct costs, with higher all-in sustaining costs due to higher sustaining capital spend.
Ahafo | |||
2023E | Production (Koz) | CAS ($/oz) | AISC ($/oz) |
Gold | 675 - 745 | $850 - $950 | $1,010 - $1,110 |
Production at Ahafo is expected to increase in 2023, continuing through 2024, due to higher grade at the Subika open pit and increased underground tonnes mined due to the change in the mining method at Subika Underground. In 2023, gold production is expected to steadily increase each quarter due to the progression of work at Subika Underground, resulting in production that is expected to be approximately 60 percent weighted to the second half of the year.
Unit costs at Ahafo are expected to improve in 2023 due to higher production volumes.
Ahafo North will add profitable production beginning in 2025, with the first full year of production expected in 2026, improving margins through low-cost production.

2023E | Production (Koz) | CAS ($/oz) | AISC ($/oz) |
Gold | 420 - 460 | $770 - $870 | $1,130 - $1,230 |
Tanami production is expected to decrease slightly beginning in 2023 and continuing through 2024 due to lower ore grade from planned mine sequencing to allow for expansion construction underground, with higher production beginning in 2025 from the ramp-up of Tanami Expansion 2.
Notably, in the first quarter of 2023, record rainfall and associated flooding resulted in the closure of the main access route for supplies. As a result, milling operations were ceased for a few weeks in the first quarter. Incorporating the impact of this delay, production at Tanami is expected to be significantly weighted to the second half of the year.
Unit costs at Tanami are expected to be impacted by lower production volumes in 2023 and are expected to benefit from improved underground efficiencies as the second expansion comes online in 2025.
Cerro Negro | |||
2023E | Production (Koz) | CAS ($/oz) | AISC ($/oz) |
Gold | 315 - 345 | $850 - $950 | $1,060 - $1,160 |
Cerro Negro production is expected to steadily increase compared to 2022 and continuing longer-term due to higher throughput and grade from productivity improvements, as well as added production from San Marcos in the Marianas district expansion in late 2023. These improvements are expected to steadily increase each quarter in 2023, resulting in production weighted approximately 55 percent to the second half of the year. The first expansion at Cerro Negro includes the development of the Marianas and Eastern districts, adding production beginning in 2023.
Cerro Negro unit costs are expected to steadily improve beginning in 2023 due to higher production volumes.

Akyem unit costs are expected to be impacted by lower production volumes due to mine sequencing in 2023.
Porcupine | |||
2023E | Production (Koz) | CAS ($/oz) | AISC ($/oz) |
Gold | 285 - 315 | $950 - $1,050 | $1,250 - $1,350 |
Porcupine is expected to benefit from productivity improvements and slightly higher grades in 2023, as additional opportunities continue to be identified to extend production from current operations. The Pamour project is expected to maintain steady production at Porcupine beyond 2024, with an investment decision expected in late 2023.
Porcupine unit costs are expected to be impacted slightly by unfavorable inventory changes in 2023, with higher all-in sustaining costs due to higher sustaining capital spend.
Éléonore | |||
2023E | Production (Koz) | CAS ($/oz) | AISC ($/oz) |
Gold | 265 - 295 | $960 - $1,060 | $1,300 - $1,400 |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures of our continuing operations in the tables below. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 sale of products, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. Adjustments to continuing operations are presented before tax and net of our partners' noncontrolling interests, when applicable. The tax effect of adjustments is presented in the Tax effect of adjustments line and is calculated using the applicable regional tax rate. Management's determination of the components of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 Adjusted net income (loss) as follows:

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 income (loss), operating income (loss), or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP, and do 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:

The Company uses NGM EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure to evaluate the operating performance of its investment in Nevada Gold Mines (NGM). NGM EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items, as defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash distributions from NGM will match NGM EBITDA. Although the Company has the ability to exert significant influence and proportionally consolidates its 38.5% interest in NGM, it does not have direct control over the operations or resulting revenues and expenses of its investment in NGM. The Company believes that NGM EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the operating results of its investment in NGM, in the same manner as management and the Board of Directors. Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items is reconciled to NGM EBITDA as follows:

Free Cash Flow
Management uses Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations. Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant and mine development as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company's performance with its competitors. Although Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company's calculation of Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.
The presentation of non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. The Company's definition of Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free Cash Flow, as well as information regarding Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

Attributable Free Cash Flow
Management uses Attributable Free Cash Flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations that are attributable to the Company. Attributable Free Cash Flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities after deducting net cash flows from operations attributable to noncontrolling interests less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations after deducting net cash flows from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests less Additions to property, plant and mine development after deducting property, plant and mine development attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company believes that Attributable Free Cash Flow is useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company's performance with its competitors. Although Attributable Free Cash Flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company's calculation of Attributable Free Cash Flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.
The presentation of non-GAAP Attributable Free Cash Flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders as an indicator of the Company's performance, or as an alternative to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. The Company's definition of Attributable Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions.

Net Debt
Management uses Net Debt to measure the Company's liquidity and financial position. Net Debt is calculated as Debt and Lease and other financing obligations less Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits included in Time deposits and other investments, as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits are subtracted from Debt and Lease and other financing obligations as these are highly liquid, low-risk investments and could be used to reduce the Company's debt obligations. The Company believes the use of Net Debt allows investors and others to evaluate financial flexibility and strength of the Company's balance sheet. Net Debt is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt and Lease and other financing obligations, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to Net Debt.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce
Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and other metals by gold ounces or gold equivalent ounces sold, respectively. These measures are calculated for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. We believe that these measures provide additional information to management, investors and others that aids in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility into the direct and indirect costs related to production, excluding depreciation and amortization, on a per ounce/gold equivalent ounce basis. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/gold equivalent ounce 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
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 production. Therefore, Newmont calculates All-In Sustaining Costs ("AISC") based on the definition published by the World Gold Council. The World Gold Council is a market development organization for the gold industry comprised of and funded by gold mining companies around the world and a regulatory organization.
AISC is 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 our continuing operations. We believe that AISC is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to management, investors and others that aids in the understanding of the economics of our operations and performance compared to other producers and provides investors visibility by better defining the total costs associated with production.
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 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 (i.e. non-sustaining) activities based upon each company's internal policies.
The following disclosure provides information regarding the adjustments made in determining the All-In Sustaining Costs measure:
Costs applicable to sales. Includes all direct and indirect costs related to current production incurred to execute the current mine plan. We exclude certain exceptional or unusual amounts from CAS, such as significant revisions to recovery amounts. 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 Depreciation and amortization and Reclamation and remediation, which is consistent with our presentation of CAS on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations less the amount of CAS attributable to the production of other metals. The other metals' CAS at those mine sites is disclosed in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of CAS between gold and other metals is based upon the relative sales value of gold and other metals produced during the period.
Reclamation costs. Includes accretion expense related to reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the related ARC for the Company's operating properties. Accretion related to the reclamation liabilities and the amortization of the ARC assets for reclamation does not reflect annual cash outflows but are calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accretion and amortization reflect the periodic costs of reclamation associated with current production and are therefore included in the measure. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals.
Advanced projects, research and development and exploration. Includes incurred expenses related to projects that are designed to sustain current production and exploration. We note that as current resources are depleted, exploration and advanced projects are necessary for us to replace the depleting reserves or enhance the recovery and processing of the current reserves to sustain production at existing operations. As these costs relate to sustaining our production, and are 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations less incurred expenses related to the development of new operations, or related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially benefit the operation in the future. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals. We also allocate these costs incurred at the Other North America, Other Australia and Corporate and Other locations using the proportion of CAS between gold and other metals.
General and administrative. Includes costs related to administrative tasks not directly related to current production, but rather related to supporting 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. We allocate these costs to gold and other metals at the Other North America, Other Australia and Corporate and Other locations using the proportion of CAS between gold and other metals.
Other expense, net. For Other expense, net we include care and maintenance costs relating to direct operating costs incurred at the mine sites during the period that these sites were temporarily placed into care and maintenance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and exclude certain exceptional or unusual expenses, such as restructuring, as these are not indicative to sustaining our current operations. Furthermore, this adjustment to Other expense, net is also consistent with the nature of the adjustments made to Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders as disclosed in the Company's non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted net income (loss). The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals.
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 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals.
Sustaining capital and finance lease payments. We determined sustaining capital and finance lease payments as those capital expenditures and finance lease payments that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. We determined development (i.e. non-sustaining) capital expenditures and finance lease payments to be those payments used to develop new operations or related to projects at existing operations where those projects will materially benefit the operation and are excluded from the calculation of AISC. The classification of sustaining and development capital projects and finance leases is based on a systematic review of our project portfolio in light of the nature of each project. Sustaining capital and finance lease payments are relevant to the AISC metric as these are needed to maintain the Company's current operations and provide improved transparency related to our ability to finance these expenditures from current operations. The allocation of these costs to gold and other metals is determined using the same allocation used in the allocation of CAS between gold and other metals. We also allocate these costs incurred at the Other North America, Other Australia and Corporate and Other locations using the proportion of CAS between gold and other metals.

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio
Management uses net debt to Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's operating performance, including our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA represents the ratio of the Company's debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income (loss), operating income (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 Net Debt to 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 net debt to Adjusted EBITDA measure is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies. The Company believes that net debt to 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 net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is 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 Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

Net average realized price per ounce/ pound
Average realized price per ounce/ pound are non-GAAP financial measures. The measures are calculated by dividing the net consolidated gold, copper, silver, lead and zinc sales by the consolidated gold ounces, copper pounds, silver ounces, lead pounds and zinc pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Average realized price per ounce/ pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only, 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 measure:

Gold by-product metrics
Copper, silver, lead and zinc are by-products often obtained during the process of extracting and processing the primary ore-body. In our GAAP Consolidated Financial Statements, the value of these by-products is recorded as a credit to our CAS and the value of the primary ore is recorded as Sales. In certain instances, copper, silver, lead and zinc are co-products, or a significant resource in the primary ore-body, and the revenue is recorded as Sales in our GAAP Consolidated Financial Statements.
Gold by-product metrics are non-GAAP financial measures that serve as a basis for comparing the Company's performance with certain competitors. As Newmont's operations are primarily focused on gold production, "Gold by-product metrics" were developed to allow investors to view Sales, CAS per ounce and AISC per ounce calculations that classify all copper, silver, lead and zinc production as a by-product, even when copper, silver, lead or zinc is a significant resource in the primary ore-body. These metrics are calculated by subtracting copper, silver, lead and zinc sales recognized from Sales and including these amounts as offsets to CAS.
Gold by-product metrics are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. These metrics are intended to provide supplemental information only, 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. 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 IFRS.
The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements, Including Outlook and Dividends:
This news release contains "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. Where a forward-looking statement 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 and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition; and often contain words such as "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "will," "would," "estimate," "expect," "believe," or "potential." Forward-looking statements in this news release may include, without limitation, (i) estimates of future production and sales, including production outlook, average future production and upside potential; (ii) estimates of future costs applicable to sales and all-in sustaining costs; (iii) estimates of future capital expenditures, including development and sustaining capital; (iv) expectations regarding the Tanami Expansion 2, Ahafo North, Yanacocha Sulfides, Pamour and Cerro Negro District Expansion 1 projects, including, without limitation, expectations for production, milling, costs applicable to sales and all-in sustaining costs, capital costs, mine life extension, construction completion commercial production, and other timelines; (v) expectations regarding future investments or divestitures; (vi) expectations regarding free cash flow and returns to stockholders, including with respect to future dividends, the dividend framework and expected payout levels; (vii) expectations regarding future mineralization, including, without limitation, expectations regarding reserves and recoveries; and (viii) other outlook. Estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Such assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i) there being no significant change to current geotechnical, metallurgical, hydrological and other physical conditions; (ii) permitting, development, operations and expansion of operations and projects being consistent with current expectations and mine plans; (iii) political developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations; (iv) certain exchange rate assumptions; (v) certain price assumptions for gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead and oil; (vi) prices for key supplies; (vii) the accuracy of current mineral reserve and mineralized material estimates; and (viii) other planning assumptions. Uncertainties relating to the impacts of Covid-19, include, without limitation, general macroeconomic uncertainty and changing market conditions, changing restrictions on the mining industry in the jurisdictions in which we operate, the ability to operate following changing governmental restrictions on travel and operations (including, without limitation, the duration of restrictions, including access to sites, ability to transport and ship doré, access to processing and refinery facilities, impacts to international trade, impacts to supply chain, including price, availability of goods, ability to receive supplies and fuel, impacts to productivity and operations in connection with decisions intended to protect the health and safety of the workforce, their families and neighboring communities), the impact of additional waves or variations of Covid, and the availability and impact of Covid vaccinations in the areas and countries in which we operate. Such uncertainties could result in operating sites being placed into care and maintenance and impact estimates, costs and timing of projects. Although the Company does not currently have operations in Ukraine, Russia or other parts of Europe, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has resulted in uncertainties in the market which could impact certain planning assumptions, including, but not limited to commodity and currency prices, costs and supply chain availabilities. Investors are reminded that the dividend framework is non-binding and the 2023 dividend payout range does not represent a legal commitment.
Future dividends beyond the dividend payable on March 23, 2023 to holders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2023 have not yet been approved or declared by the Board of Directors, and an annualized dividend payout or dividend yield has not been declared by the Board. Management's expectations with respect to future dividends are "forward-looking statements" and the Company's dividend framework is non-binding. The declaration and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be determined based on Newmont's financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects, gold and commodity prices, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. No guarantees can be made that the Company will be able to maintain the same dividend level in the future.
For a more detailed discussion of risks and other factors that might impact future looking statements, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), under the heading "Risk Factors", available on the SEC website or www.newmont.com. 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.
Notice Regarding Reserve and Resource:
The reserves stated herein were prepared in compliance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K adopted by 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 partner's) 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, in the Company's Form 10-K, filed on February 23, 2023, with the SEC.
