Newmont Mining Corporation

We should never give a banker, or his or her family members or close friends, anything of value that could be associated with a financial transaction. Such a gift potentially could be interpreted as influencing the financial institution employee's decision with respect to the financial transaction and thus must be avoided. If you are in doubt whether a gift to a financial institution employee can be made, you should most likely refrain from making it. If you have questions, please contact the legal department prior to making or promising a gift to an employee of a financial institution.
