Newmont Closes Common Stock Offering

Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (“Newmont” or the “Company”) today announced it has closed its common stock sale to Citigroup and J.P. Morgan, each of which acted as an underwriter for the offering. In the offering, Newmont received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $674 million, after deducting estimated expenses.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the common stock sale, supplemented with cash from the Company’s balance sheet, to fund the acquisition from AngloGold Ashanti Limited of the Cripple Creek & Victor mine in Colorado (the “CC&V Acquisition”). The CC&V Acquisition represents a value-accretive opportunity to improve mine life, costs, and free cash flow in a favorable jurisdiction. Until the CC&V Acquisition is completed, the Company intends to place the proceeds from this offering in short-term liquid investments.
