Our Code of Conduct
Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct ("Code") reaffirms the high standards of ethical business conduct required of all Newmont employees, officers and directors. Our Code has been adopted by Newmont's board of directors and constitutes Newmont's basic standards of ethical and legal behavior. Our Code supersedes the company's previous code of ethics and conduct.
Acting with integrity, trust, respect, honesty and teamwork - all stated values of Newmont - are principal characteristics of ethical behavior. For all of us, the basic requirement is that we conduct ourselves in a responsible manner, putting the company first in all our work-related decisions.
While there is no substitute for common sense, our Code has been created to provide guidance to employees, officers and directors of Newmont on how to conduct the company's business, and to help identify critical issues that require caution and both ethical and legal consideration.
Our Code also has been created as an educational and preventive tool - in part, designed to help prevent and detect violations of the law. In most circumstances, however, Newmont's standards are higher than the law requires. These expectations are further defined and more guidance is provided through our policies. Newmont has policies in most areas touched on in our Code including, but not limited to, workplace conduct and safety, securities trading, environmental protection, social responsibility and anti-corruption measures. Adherence to these policies and our Code preserves the confidence and support of the public and Newmont's stockholders.
It is important to note, however, that our Code is not intended to provide specific answers to unique legal questions, to set forth a rule for every situation, to address all applicable laws or policies, to create legal rights or duties, or to set standards of conduct enforceable against Newmont.
Our Responsibilities
At Newmont, we live our values by being responsible and accountable for our actions. We are responsible for knowing and complying with the laws and policies that relate to our duties.

Conclusion
While our Code sets forth the minimum standards of acceptable behavior, it is not intended to cover every issue that may arise. Your good judgment must always be your guide. Our Code is not solely what we may and may not do, it also is about providing us with resources to support us in doing the right thing. If you need help deciding how to handle a particular situation at work, need to report a situation or need support in doing the right thing, the first person you should turn to is your manager. If you do not feel comfortable doing so, contact the compliance line, the legal department or another appropriate resource listed in our Code.
