Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited Announces Redemption Date for all of its Exchangeable Shares and Mailing of Redemption Materials

TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2013 /CNW/ - Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (the "Company") (TSX: NMC), a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont") (NYSE: "NEM"), today announced that it has set February 18, 2014 as the redemption date (the "Redemption Date") for the previously announced redemption of all of its outstanding exchangeable shares (other than those held by Newmont and its affiliates) and that it has mailed a redemption notice and related documents to shareholders.

On the Redemption Date, holders of exchangeable shares (other than those held by Newmont and its affiliates) will receive, in exchange for each exchangeable share, one share of common stock of Newmont (plus cash in the amount of all declared and unpaid dividends, if any, provided that the record date for the payment of such dividends is prior to the Redemption Date). Newmont or one of its affiliates ("Callco") will exercise the redemption call right (the "Redemption Call Right") to acquire all of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares (other than those held by Newmont and its affiliates) on the Redemption Date.  Accordingly, the Exchangeable Shares will be purchased by Callco, rather than the Company.

Copies of the redemption notice and related documents, including a letter of transmittal, will be filed on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com under the Company's profile.
