Accelerated Performance Delivery and Value EnhancementDear employees,

As we are all aware, Newmont's operating regions commenced the Accelerated PerformanceDelivery and Value Enhancement initiative (VE Initiative) in June to undertake a comprehensivereview of our cost structure to enhance the efficiency and long-term sustainability of ourbusiness. At PTNNT, our costs have continued to rise in the face of stagnating metal prices at atime when we are enduring negative cash flow during the Phase 6 stripping campaign.

Through the VE Initiative and development of the 2013 budget and business plan, the manage-ment of PTNNT has evaluated and assessed our cost structure comprehensively to ensure thatthe Batu Hijau mine operates more effectively and efficiently. Our review has focused on allcosts, with substantial reductions achieved in operating costs (both mining and milling), capitalcosts, and other operating support costs. These efficiency efforts include, among others,eliminating certain consulting services, cancelling a contract for a helicopter, cutting substan-tial amounts of sustaining capital, improving pricing terms with key suppliers, and reducingtravel budgets and charitable contributions/donations..

In addition, however, as previously stated in my 14 August announcement, it has beennecessary to examine our workforce requirements as part of the VE Initiative. It is with deepregret that I inform you that PTNNT will need to reduce the number of PTNNT employees.

The evaluation and implementation of the workforce reduction program will commence todaywith the elimination of approximately 20% of expat positions (including direct contract posi-tions). In most cases these positions will be reduced as terms of existing arrangements end.

In addition, approximately 2.8% of our national workforce will be impacted by reductions thatwill be implemented during October, as Department Managers speak with affected employees.

We assure you that employees impacted by the VE Initiative will be paid their legal entitle-ments in full pursuant to the prevailing laws and regulations. In addition, I have authorized adiscretionary additional goodwill Compensation component for all departing members of ournational workforce, which will be determined based upon years of service to PTNNT.

PTNNT's management realizes that this is a challenging situation but that we must make thisdifficult decision to ensure that PTNNT remains financially strong for the long-term future, sothat we fulfill our obligations as contractor to the Government and carry out our social responsi-bilities for the community. Therefore, we seek your full support in facing this difficult situationso that PTNNT will be able to carry out its business plan safely, efficiently, and effectively. Thankyou.

youngest village Ranan still needs manyfacilities and infrastructures. “At the mo-ment, we are raising funds to build amultipurpose building and a mosque,” saidthis 49-year-old man.

The people of Ranan village are lucky tohave plenty of water resources and springsthat never dry. Each house has clean watersupply chanelled directly from the springthru pipeline using gravity.

“Spring utilization is regulated by thevillage administration to maintain the spring.Anybody caught to intentionally causedamage to the spring will be subject tosanction,” said this father of two.

Avocado, teakwood, sapodilla trees andvegetables are planted on embankmentsbeside his fishponds.

Marketing the fish is not a problem, sincebuyers are plenty from around Ropang area.“Fresh water fish are in great demandduring the fasting month,” said Sahabuddin.

In addition, Sahabuddin also planted salakpondoh (snake skin fruit). “Thank God, it issuccessful although I started it without anyserious purpose,” he said.

It was an extremely hot day at Ledang,Lenangguar but tens of Ledang peoplewere busy building a clean water

reservoir. Some were bailing out sands andwater by turns, while the others weremixing cement and pouring it into themould. Their work was overwhelmed bylaughters and cheerfulness.
