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 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 Persons Statement
The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Colin Moorhead, EGM Minerals forNewcrest Mining Limited who is a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and a full-time employee of Newcrest MiningLimited. Mr Moorhead has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration andto the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “JORC Code”. Mr Moorheadconsents to the inclusion in this presentation of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which they appear.
Exploration Target
The potential quantity and grade related to Exploration Targets in this report is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Gold - Store of Wealth
If you had to bury an item of value in a time capsule which is only to be opened by your grandchildren 50 years from today, what would it be?

Store of Value
� Since its free float in 1973, gold has consistently beaten inflation
� “From ’01 to ’04, a period where inflation fell from 2.8% to 1%. Gold rallied >50%. … Gold,
as a hoarding vehicle has a scarcity factor that can see its price appreciate significantly.
Even in a deflationary period.” – Merrill Lynch Jan 2009

Why gold prices will continue to stay strong
� US$ remains the global currency but faces devaluation:
– US National Debt $15+ trillion
– US gold reserve US$450B
– US Federal Reserve continuing to ease monetary policy
– Pay debt through tax and devaluation of US$
� European economies in poor shape
– Recapitalisation of Government and Bank debt
– Future of the Euro currency?
� Capital surplus to the emerging economies
– Where to invest excess money?
� Political tensions continue
