The Chaupe family carried out illegal planting on land owned by Yanacocha.

This morning Yanacocha, exercising its right to defend possession, proceeded to remove a plantation of approximately 400 square meters, located outside the land illegally occupied by the Chaupe family since 2011. This new invasion was detected last January 19, which motivated Yanacocha, protected by law, to peacefully remove the plantation, protecting at all times the physical integrity and the rights of the Chaupe family members.

It is important to recall that the land where the illegal plantation was located is the subject matter of an injunction granted by the Court for Civil and Criminal Matters of Celendin by virtue of which the Chaupe family is prevented from disturbing Yanacocha property. This confirms that the activity carried out today strictly complies with the law.

Yanacocha reiterates its intention and its petition to find a satisfactory solution through dialogue. This solution should be reached within the framework of the law, in coordination between the parties directly involved, and without third-party agendas or interests. Notwithstanding, the company informs that it will continue peacefully enforcing its ownership, preventing new invasions. 

Today, Tuesday, January 19, 2016, a group of people stormed into Minera Yanacocha property under the pretext of conducting an inspection in the area of the Conga project, which project, as it is well known, is suspended since late 2011. These people are systematically entering Minera Yanacocha property despite not having the authority to order inspections and, on more than one occasion, have caused damage to our company´s private property. On this occasion, through the Cajamarca media we have learned of the intention of Mrs. Maxima Acuña de Chaupe – who maintains a land dispute with Yanacocha- of donating an area of land for the construction of a new home for the self-proclaimed “guardians of the Lakes”.  In this regard, we advise the authorities and the public opinion that the area occupied by Mrs. Acuña de Chaupe, located between the Cocanez hills and Minas Conga, district of Sorochuco, province of Celendín, belongs to Minera Yanacocha, since it was legitimately acquired from its previous owners, as recorded in Public Records. Therefore, the donation that Mrs. Acuña de Chaupe intends to make would not have any legal effect on our property. It is important to recall, that the area illegally occupied the Chaupe Acuña family is partially affected by an injunction issued by the Court for Civil and Criminal Matters of Celendín, ordering THE Chaupe family members to not perform any actions (buildings, farming, among others) that disturb the possession of Minera Yanacocha, because they could be accused of disobeying the authority in the event of non-compliance.

With regard to the arrest of Mr. Fernando Chuquiruna, who has hinted that Yanacocha is responsible for it, the company wishes to advise the public opinion as follows:

• Yanacocha has never requested Mr. Chuquiruna’s arrest. It occurred at the initiative of the Criminal Court because Mr. Chuquiruna ignored the subpoena for oral proceedings.
• As background of the issue, in December 2013, the then Alderman in the Municipality of Baños del Inca District, Fernando Chuquiruna Gallardo, invited the population to plant trees on land owned by Yanacocha, located in the area of La Shacsha. To avoid any possible damage to the land by the event organized by Mr. Chuquiruna, on December 5^th Yanacocha filed a pre-trial complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office for Prevention of Crime of Cajamarca.
• Notwithstanding this pre-trail complaint, and the communications and notifications derived from it, on December 7, 2013 the illegal tree planting convened by Mr. Chuquiruna was carried out.
• Faced with this situation, the Prosecutor’s Office in reference ordered the Criminal Prosecutor’s Office on Duty to carry out the investigation on the grounds that it considered that after the trees had been planted on Yanacocha property, there were indications that a crime against property may have been committed, in the form of damages. Thus, the Third Corporate Criminal Prosecutor’s Office of Cajamarca formalized a criminal investigation against Mr. Chuquiruna Gallardo (Case 165-2014).
• On March 6, 2015, this Prosecutor’s Office decided to accuse Mr. Chuquiruna for the alleged commission of crime against property (simple damage) to the detriment of Yanacocha, requesting imprisonment of 1 year and 6 months, plus 45 days of fine, and a civil redress of S/.1843.60.
• The prosecutor’s accusation resulted in Case File No. 1410-2014, in charge of the Fifth Unipersonal Criminal Court of Cajamarca, which set an oral hearing for November 3, 2015. Mr. Chuquiruna Gallardo did not attend the scheduled proceedings and, at the request of the Public Prosecutor, the judge declared him to be in contempt of court and decided to notify the National Police in order to find his whereabouts and make him appear in Court.
• On December 31, 2015 Fernando Chuquiruna Gallardo was arrested and taken to the Judiciary jail, in compliance with the above-mentioned court order. He was released this morning.

Yanacocha had no participation whatsoever in Mr. Chuquiruna’s arrest. It was the Judge himself who ordered his arrest, because he failed to appear in court after being subpoenaed.

Cajamarca, January 5, 2016

With regard for the action for constitutional protection (“acción de amparo”) filed against Yanacocha in relation to the non-viability of the Conga project, the company informs the public as follows:

• This action for constitutional protection was filed in 2012 and was declared inadmissible by two court rulings. However, in March of this year, the Constitutional Court declared that both inadmissibility rulings were null on the grounds of form, and ordered that the complaint be admitted for processing. This is a purely formal aspect, that does not affect in any way the validity of the environmental instruments approved for the Conga project.
• This compliant has been answered by Yanacocha; therefore, this will start the process in which the company, respectful of the law, will present all the relevant information as required. In this project, technical and legal feasibility has been demonstrated by obtaining all permits required by Peruvian law, and additionally, after having undergone an international and independent technical review.
• Although some people and organizations intend to portray this decision of the Court of Cajamarca as a statement of non-viability of Conga, the truth is that this process is just beginning. Throughout the process, Yanacocha will act in accordance with its absolute respect for the laws and regulations of the country.

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (“Newmont” or “the Company”) has
completed the sale of Newmont Waihi Gold Limited in New Zealand to
OceanaGold Corporation (TSX/ASX/NZX: OGC) (“OceanaGold”), receiving cash
proceeds of US$101 million. The sale agreement also includes a US$5
million contingent payment and a one percent Net Smelter Royalty on a
recent discovery north of Waihi’s current operations.

“The sale of Waihi further strengthens Newmont’s balance sheet and
improves the Company’s financial flexibility as we continue to sell
select assets for cash at fair value,” said Randy Engel, Executive Vice
President for Strategic Development.

Over the last two years Newmont has generated US$1.7 billion through
fairly valued, non-core asset sales, allowing the Company to further pay
down debt, invest in profitable production and return capital to
shareholders. In addition, the Company lowered its all-in sustaining
costs by 16 percent in the third quarter of 2015, compared to the prior
year, and has generated free cash flow of US$941 million, year-to-date,
despite lower metal prices.

Newmont has one of the strongest project pipelines in the gold sector,
and remains on track to deliver profitable new production from Leeville
in Nevada as the Turf Vent Shaft is completed in late 2015; from Cripple
Creek & Victor’s expansion projects during 2016; from Merian in Suriname
in late 2016; and from Long Canyon Phase 1 in Nevada beginning in 2017.
The Company also is proceeding with the recently announced expansion of
Tanami in Australia, which is expected to generate additional,
profitable gold production in mid-2017.

Waihi is located approximately 150 kilometers southeast of Auckland in
New Zealand. Gold was first discovered and mined in the area in 1878.
The Martha open pit mine began operations in 1987 and was acquired by
Newmont in 2002 during the merger with Normandy. Waihi produced
approximately 132,000 ounces of gold in 2014.

ELKO, Oct. 28, 2015 – On a recent visit to the IL Ranch, owned and operated by Elko Land and Livestock, a subsidiary of Newmont USA Limited, leaders from the Nevada Department of Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management, and US Fish and Wildlife Service joined Newmont representatives on a tour of rangeland areas managed as part of Newmont’s Sagebrush Ecosystem Conservation Program. 

The tour encompassed a review of lands actively managed for livestock production and wildlife habitat.  Indeed, one of the stops was near one of the largest Greater Sage-grouse leks (breeding grounds) in Nevada.  Other aspects of the tour included a review of managed grazing efforts designed to reduce the abundance of cheatgrass and encourage dominance of deep-rooted perennial grasses as well as discussions regarding present and future conservation practices and opportunities.

“Newmont appreciates the opportunity to build on our relationships with BLM, NDOW, and USFWS and to partner on conservation programs which provide direct benefit to the environment as well as to the many users of the land resources in Nevada,”  said Jeff White, Director of Renewable Resources for Newmont and Vice President of Elko Land and Livestock.  Implementation of the company’s conservation program provides for maintenance and enhancement of rangeland health and conservation of biological diversity.

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) (“Newmont” or “the Company”)
announced plans to expand its Tanami operations in Australia by building
a second decline in the underground mine and additional plant capacity.

The expansion project is expected to add incremental gold production of
approximately 80,000 ounces per year and decrease Tanami’s all-in
sustaining costs by five to ten percent in the first five years of
production. It will open access to two million ounces of profitable
production and extend mine life by three years. The project will also
create a platform for exploration drilling to support future growth.
Recent exploration results demonstrate the potential to double current
Reserves and Resources by expanding existing Tanami deposits, and
developing adjacent discoveries.

“Tanami is a Newmont success story. Since 2012, the team has more than
doubled gold production while cutting costs by about two-thirds and
significantly improving resource confidence. The expansion project
continues this trajectory, offering robust returns of more than 35
percent at current gold prices,” said Gary Goldberg, President and Chief
Executive Officer.

Building a second decline at Tanami will support a step change in mining
rates, which will ramp up to approximately 2.6 million tonnes per year.
The processing plant expansion includes adding a ball mill, thickener
and gravity circuit to improve recoveries and expand mill capacity from
2.3 to 2.6 million tonnes per year. When the expansion is complete,
Tanami will produce between 425,000 and 475,000 ounces of gold per year
at all-in sustaining costs of between $700 and $750 per ounce in the
first five years of production.

Capital investment of between $100 million and $120 million will be
funded through free cash flow and available cash balances. Of this
amount, a quarter will be spent in 2015, half will be spent in 2016, and
the remainder will be spent in 2017. First commercial production is
anticipated in the second half of 2017.

Newmont has one of the strongest project pipelines in the gold sector,
and remains on track to deliver profitable new production from Leeville
in Nevada as the Turf Vent Shaft is completed in late 2015; from Cripple
Creek & Victor’s expansion projects during 2016; from Merian in Suriname
in late 2016; and from Long Canyon Phase 1 in Nevada beginning in 2017.

Tanami is located 590 miles southwest of Darwin and 350 miles northwest
of Alice Springs in Australia’s Northern Territory. The expansion
project falls within the existing Tanami operating footprint on the
Granites and Dead Bullock Soak mineral leases. Newmont acquired its
interest in 2002 through its merger with Normandy. In 2014 Tanami
produced approximately 345,000 ounces of gold at all-in sustaining costs
of $1,038 per ounce.
