Fact Sheet Merian

August 2014
Overview
The Merian Project (the Project) is a gold deposit
located approximately 66 kilometers (Km) south of
the town of Moengo and 30 Km north of the Nassau
Mountains in Suriname.
Suriname Gold Company LLC (Surgold), which is
owned by Newmont Mining Corporation (Newmont),
owns and operates the Project.
In July 2014, Newmont announced it would invest in
the development of the Project.
Prior to reaching this milestone, Surgold completed
the following requirements:
Execution of the Mineral Agreement between
the Government of Suriname and Surgold in
November 2013; and
Approval of the Feasibility Study and
Environmental and Social Impact Statement
(ESIA) by Surinames Ministry of Natural
Resources in December 2013.
Pursuant to the Mineral Agreement, Surgold has
satised all the conditions for the Government of
Suriname to grant Surgold the right to mine.
The Mineral Agreement outlines the terms of the
development and operation for the Project and
includes royalties, taxes, labor, environmental and
other provisions.
The Mineral Agreement provides the Government of
Suriname with an option to participate in the Project
as a partner at up to a 25 percent equity interest.
Once the right to mine is granted, the Government
of Suriname will have 60 days, plus a 45-day grace
period, to exercise its option to participate by making
an initial cash contribution equal to Surgolds historical
costs times a factor of 1.5 times the percentage of
the governments equity participation. At such point, a
limited partnership will be created in which Surgold will
be the managing partner and NV Twee (a Surinamese
corporation fully owned by the Government of
Suriname) will be the limited partner.
The Mineral Agreement also includes an extensive
area of interest of approximately 500,000 hectares,

where the same terms and conditions of the Mineral Agreement
will apply and where Surgold, or the partnership, have preferential
exploration rights.
Upon the Government of Suriname granting Surgold the right to
mine, construction of the Project will begin. Commercial production
is expected to commence in late 2016.
Merian will consist of several open pits, a gold ore processing plant
and related site infrastructure.
The Project gives Newmont a foothold in the highly prospective
Guyana Shield.

Health and Safety Highlights
As of July 2014, Project operations have been conducted for more
than 570 days without a Lost Time Injury(LTI).

Community and Environmental Highlights
Surgold continues to build relationships with the local
communities, most notably the Paramaccaners. As
part of the ESIA process, baseline environmental and
social studies were conducted, which will allow the
Project to stand as a positive example of responsible
mineral resource development in Suriname.
Surgold engaged an independent international
consultancy, Environmental Resources Management
(ERM), to complete permitting of the Project
following the National Institute of Environmental
and Development (NIMOS) guidelines, on behalf of
Government of Suriname.
Public meetings were held from May through July
of 2012 with communities and interested groups
to discuss the ndings of the impact assessment
and to gain their feedback and recommendations.
Furthermore, Surgold has entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding with the Paramacca Community,
which includes the creation of a development fund,
terms for local employment and procurement and
other issues.
Surgold is committed to continuing its close
engagement with the Government of Suriname
and local community members, working together
to advance development of Merian in a way that
generates sustainable economic and social benets
for the people of Suriname.
Economic Highlights
An estimated 2,500 jobs will be created during the construction
phase. Once operations commence, Merian is expected to employ
approximately 1,300 people, with preference being given to local
residents for employment and contracted positions.
Over the life of the mine, Merian is expected to generate US$700
million in royalties and taxes
