ITEM 5.07

SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On April 20, 2016, Newmont Mining Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“Newmont” or the “Company”) held its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The following matters were voted upon at the Annual Meeting: (1) the election of Directors; (2) the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2016; and (3) the advisory vote on the compensation of the Named Executive Officers.

The Company’s Director nominees were all elected with more than 98 percent of votes cast, and the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2016 was approved by more than 99 percent of votes cast.

The advisory vote on the compensation of Named Executive Officers (“Say on Pay”) allows stockholders to express their opinions regarding the decisions of the Compensation Committee on the prior year’s compensation to Named Executive Officers. The proposal asked stockholders to evaluate whether the Company’s executive compensation program is well-designed, appropriately aligns executive pay with Company performance and incentivizes desirable behavior. The measure was approved by more than 91 percent of votes cast.

The specific voting results (subject to rounding on the percentages for purposes of this Item 5.07 disclosure) were as follows:
