SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Forward Looking Statements
These materials include forward looking statements. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as
“may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “outlook”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements
regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and expected costs or production outputs. The Company continues to distinguish between outlook and guidance in forward looking statements. Guidance statements are a risk-weighted assessment constituting Newcrest’s current expectation as to the range in which its gold production in the current financial year will ultimately fall. Outlook statements are a risk-weighted assessment constituting Newcrest’s current view regarding the possible range of gold production in years subsequent to the current financial year.

Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign
exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development,
including the risks of obtaining necessary licences and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework
within which the company operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial
relations issues and litigation.

Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant
environments that will exist and affect the Company’s business and operations in the future. The Company does not give any assurance that the assumptions on which forward
looking statements are based will prove to be correct, or that the Company’s business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors not
foreseen or foreseeable by the company or management or beyond the Company’s control.

Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking
statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events
are beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in
these materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant securities exchange listing rules, in providing this
information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources Reporting Requirements
As an Australian company with securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), Newcrest is subject to Australian disclosure requirements and standards, including the requirements of the Corporations Act and the ASX. Investors should note that it is a requirement of the ASX listing rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”) and that Newcrest’s ore reserve and mineral resource estimates comply with the JORC Code.

Competent Person’s Statement
The information in this presentation that relates to Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves has been extracted from the release titled “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
Statement – 31 December 2015” dated 15 February 2016 (the original release). Newcrest confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the
information included in the original release and, in the case of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the original release continue to apply and have not materially changed. Newcrest confirms that the form and context in which the competent person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original release.

Non-IFRS Financial Information
This presentation is a summary document and should be read in conjunction with the Appendix 4D on the ASX platform. Newcrest results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) including EBIT (earnings before interest, tax and significant items) and EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and significant items) which are used to measure segment performance. This presentation also includes certain non-IFRS financial information including Underlying profit (profit after tax before significant items attributable to owners of the parent company), All-In Sustaining Cost (determined in accordance with the World Gold Council Guidance Note on Non-GAAP Metrics released June 2013), AISC Margin (realised gold price less AISC per ounce sold (where expressed as USD), or realised gold price less AISC per ounce sold divided by realised gold price (where expressed as a %), Interest Coverage Ratio (EBITDA/Interest payable for the relevant period), Free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less cash flow related to investing activities), EBITDA margin (EBITDA expressed as a percentage of revenue) and EBIT margin (EBIT expressed as a percentage of revenue). These measures are used internally by management to assess the performance of the business and make decisions on the allocation of resources and are included in this presentation to provide greater understanding of the underlying performance of Newcrest’s operations. When reviewing business performance, this non-IFRS information should be used in addition to, and not as a replacement of, measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS information has not been subject to audit or review by Newcrest’s external auditor. Newcrest Group All-In Sustaining Costs will vary from period to period as a result of various factors including production performance, timing of sales, the level of sustaining capital and the relative contribution of each asset. Reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the most appropriate IFRS measure are included on slide 41 of this presentation.
