Rent 7.1 The rent payable for the blocks comprised in the Exploration Licences for each Tenure Year during the Term shall be as follows: Tenure Year Rent ($) 1 50.00 2 65.00 3 77.00 4 98.00 5 6 7 8 9 10 A rent to be agreed between Newmont and the Territory taking into account the average of the rent that would have been payable in respect of the blocks comprised in the Exploration Licences for the tenure year in question under the provisions of the Mining Act, were it not for this Agreement. 7.2 Rent in respect of the period from or after the commencement of this Agreement until the commencement of the first Tenure Year of the Exploration Licences in the Agreement Area shall be calculated pro rata from the Commencement Date using the rent applicable under the Mining Act allowing any adjustment in respect of rent already paid by Newmont to the Territory in respect of any of the Exploration Licences. Any adjustment to the rent calculated and payable pursuant to this sub-clause shall be made at the time rent is paid for the first Tenure Year. 7.3 Rent in respect of each Tenure Year of the Exploration Licences during the Term shall be paid by 31 March in that Tenure Year. 7.4 Rent payable for blocks that become subject to this Agreement during a Tenure Year shall be calculated pro rata from the date on which they become subject to this Agreement to the commencement of the next Tenure Year using the rent applicable to the Tenure Year during which they become subject to this Agreement. 7.5 Rent payable for blocks that have ceased to be subject to this Agreement other than by relinquishment is to be calculated pursuant to the provisions of the Mining Act as if the blocks were -- 10 of 22 -- Schedule Tanami Exploration Agreement Ratification Act 2004 9 then in the tenure year during which they first became subject to this Agreement. No pro rata reimbursement of rent paid will be allowed for any Exploration Licence that ceases to be subject to this Agreement. 8. Expenditure Commitment 8.1 For each Tenure Year the total Exploration Expenditure commitment of Newmont within the Agreement Area shall be an amount determined by multiplying the number of blocks held by Newmont within the Agreement Area during the Tenure Year by $600.00. Where a block has been held by Newmont for a part of the Tenure Year, the amount of $600.00 shall be adjusted pro rata for the period of time the block was so held. Newmont may elect to spend the total expenditure commitment on the whole or any one or more of the blocks during the Tenure Year without affecting the standing of any of the Exploration Licences within the Agreement Area. 8.2 The amount of $600.00 referred to in sub-clause 8.1 shall be adjusted annually with effect from the first day of the relevant Tenure Year subsequent to the first Tenure Year by multiplying that amount by an escalator calculated in accordance with the formula: E =CPI² CPI¹ Where: E is the escalator CPI² is the Consumer Price Index (All Groups) – Weighted Average Rate for capital cities as published by the Australian Bureau Statistics Catalogue No. 6401.0 being the index number published in respect of the quarter ended 31 December in the year prior to the year of calculation.

Failure to Meet Expenditure Commitment 9.1 Sections 26, 27, 28 and 29 of the Mining Act 1980 shall not apply to the Exploration Licences. 9.2 (a) If after the end of any Tenure Year the Secretary determines that Newmont has expended less than the minimum Exploration Expenditure commitment, the Secretary shall advise Newmont in writing accordingly and not later than one (1) month after such notice has been received, or during such other period as the Secretary may allow, Newmont shall, in writing, nominate to the Secretary a number of granted blocks within the Agreement Area that Newmont will relinquish calculated in accordance with the following formula: BR = TEE – AE 2 x MEC Where: BR = Number of blocks to be relinquished; TEE = Total Exploration Expenditure commitment for the Tenure Year determined under clause 8.1 and 8.2; AE = Actual Exploration Expenditure by Newmont during the Tenure Year; MEC = Minimum Exploration Expenditure for a single block for the Tenure Year determined under clause 8.2. If BR is not a whole number, BR shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number (b) In addition to the relinquishment effected by this clause 9.2, the total number of blocks Newmont is entitled to hold or be the applicant for, pursuant to clause 6 will be reduced by the same number as the granted blocks relinquished. -- 12 of 22 -- Schedule Tanami Exploration Agreement Ratification Act 2004 11 9.3 If in any Tenure Year after a Tenure Year in respect of which Newmont has relinquished blocks pursuant to clause 9.2, Newmont expends more than the minimum expenditure commitment for each granted block multiplied by the number of granted blocks held by Newmont during that Tenure Year, Newmont will be entitled to have the total number of blocks increased by one block for every multiple of the amount which is twice the minimum expenditure commitment for a granted block during the Tenure Year in which the minimum expenditure commitment was exceeded provided always that at no time is Newmont entitled to hold or apply for more than the 10,000 blocks referred to in clause 6.1. 10. Assignment Newmont shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a person, other than a Related Body Corporate or for the purposes of reconstruction, without the prior written consent of the Minister. 11. Reporting Sections 32, 33 and 34 of the Mining Act 1980 shall apply to Newmont in respect of the Exploration Licences except that Newmont may, in respect of the annual report referred to in Section 34 of the Mining Act 1980, submit one or (by agreement with the Secretary) more than one report on the exploration activities carried out on the Exploration Licences during that period. The report or reports lodged by Newmont shall be lodged prior to the end of May (or such other date as the Secretary may agree) in each Tenure Year in respect of the previous calendar year and the reference in Section 32(1)(b) of the Mining Act to Section 26 of the Mining Act shall be read as a reference to clause 9 of this Agreement. 12. Administration Fee 12.1 Within one month of the beginning of the first Tenure Year during the Term, Newmont shall pay to the Secretary an administration fee of $100,000.00. 12.2 Within one month of the beginning of each Tenure Year subsequent to the first Tenure Year during the Term, Newmont shall pay to the Secretary an administration fee of $60,000.00. 13. Termination and Default 13.1 This Agreement may be terminated at any time by agreement in writing between the Territory and Newmont. 13.2 Newmont may elect to terminate this Agreement at any time on 30 days notice to the Territory. -- 13 of 22 -- Schedule Tanami Exploration Agreement Ratification Act 2004 12 13.3 The Territory may give to Newmont not less than 90 days notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement (except for Clause 14) in the event that: (a) Newmont is in material breach of any provision of this Agreement; (b) treatment at both The Granites Gold Mine and the Tanami Mine Joint Venture Mill gold treatment plants permanently ceases without there having been constructed and brought into operation within the Tanami region within one (1) year thereafter another gold treatment plant of substantial capacity; or (c) Newmont goes into liquidation (other than voluntary liquidation for the purposes of reconstruction) and does not within that notice period assign its interest in this Agreement to an assignee approved in writing by the Minister pursuant to clause 10. If upon the expiry of the notice such default has not been remedied the Territory may terminate this Agreement ( except for clause 14) by giving not less than 30 days notice to the Company such that this Agreement ( except for clause 14) shall terminate upon the expiration of that notice unless such default has been sooner remedied. 13.4 Clause 14 of this Agreement shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, remain in force notwithstanding any termination pursuant to this clause. 14.
