Item 1.04. Mine Safety.

Section 1503(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act requires the disclosure on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the receipt of an imminent danger order (an “Order”) under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). On June 14, 2017, Newmont USA Limited (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, received a verbal Order by an MSHA inspector stating that an employee was observed working directly below material built up on the framework of the surface stacker in the Leeville Mine conveyor belt area. Mine personnel immediately responded and the Order was terminated a short time after issuance. The Company also requested a review of the Order, which resulted in MSHA formally vacating the Order on June 19, 2017. The conditions cited in the Order referred to above did not result in accidents or injury and had no material adverse impact on the Company’s operations at the Leeville Mine.
