Unless the context requires otherwise or unless otherwise defined herein or amended hereby, defined terms used in this Notice of Extension have the same meaning as in the Offer and Circular. The term Offer means the Offer, as expressly amended and supplemented by this Notice of Extension. Shareholders who have validly deposited and not withdrawn their Common Shares need take no further action to accept the Offer.

All of the directors and senior officers of Miramar have tendered their Common Shares to the Offer.
The Offer is subject to certain conditions, including there being validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn as at the Expiry Time such number of Common Shares that constitutes, together with Common Shares held by the Offeror and its affiliates, at least 66 2/3% of the Common Shares then outstanding (calculated on a fully-diluted basis, as calculated in the Offer and Circular). This and the other conditions of the Offer are described in Section 4 of the Offer, Conditions of the Offer. Subject to Laws, the Offeror reserves the right to withdraw the Offer and to not take up and pay for any Common Shares deposited under the Offer unless each of the conditions of the Offer is satisfied or waived at or before the Expiry Time.
Shareholders who have not deposited their Common Shares and who wish to accept the Offer must properly complete and duly execute the Letter of Transmittal (printed on yellow paper) that accompanied the Offer and Circular, or a facsimile thereof, and deposit it, together with certificates representing their Common Shares and all other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, with Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the Depositary) at the relevant address set out in the Letter of Transmittal and in accordance with the instructions in the Letter of Transmittal. Alternatively, Shareholders whose Common Shares are registered in the name of CDS may accept the Offer by following the procedures for book entry transfer of Common Shares set forth in Section 3 of the Offer, Manner of Acceptance Acceptance by Book Entry Transfer or Shareholders whose certificates for Common Shares are not immediately available, may follow the procedures for guaranteed delivery set forth under Section 3 of the Offer, Manner of Acceptance Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery, using the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (printed on green paper) that accompanied the Offer and Circular, or a facsimile thereof. The Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery that accompanied the Offer and Circular are deemed to be amended to reflect the terms and conditions of this Notice of Extension.
Shareholders whose Common Shares are registered in the name of an investment advisor, stockbroker, bank, trust company or other nominee should contact that nominee for assistance if they wish to accept the Offer in order to take the necessary steps to be able to deposit such Common Shares under the Offer.
All payments under the Offer will be made in Canadian dollars. Shareholders will not be required to pay any fee or commission if they accept the Offer by depositing their Common Shares directly with the Depositary or if they make use of the services of a Soliciting Dealer to accept the Offer.
Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the information agent for the Offer, MacKenzie Partners, Inc.

2
The Offer is being made for the securities of a Canadian issuer. The Offer and Circular are subject to and have been prepared in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements in Canada. Shareholders should be aware that such requirements are different from those in the United States.
Shareholders in the United States should be aware that the disposition of Common Shares by them as described herein and in the Offer and Circular may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences may not be fully described herein and in the Offer and Circular and such holders are urged to consult their tax advisors. See Section 18 of the Circular, Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations, and Section 19 of the Circular, Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.
The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Offeror and Miramar are incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, that Miramars officers and directors reside outside the United States, that the Canadian Dealer Manager and some of the experts named in the Offer and Circular may reside outside the United States, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Offeror and Miramar and the other above-mentioned persons are located outside the United States.
Shareholders in the United States should be aware that the Offeror or its affiliates, directly or indirectly, may bid for or may make purchases of Common Shares or of Miramars related securities during the period of the Offer, as permitted by applicable United States securities laws, including any exemptions granted to the Offeror therefrom, and by applicable Canadian laws or provincial laws or regulations.
The Offer is made only for the Common Shares and is not made for any Options. Any holder of such Options who wishes to accept the Offer must exercise the Options in accordance with their terms in order to obtain certificates representing Common Shares and deposit such Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
Any such exercise must be completed sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time to ensure that the holder of such Options will have certificate(s) representing the Common Shares received on such exercise available for deposit prior to the Expiry Time, or sufficient time to comply with the procedures referred to in Section 3 of the Offer, Manner of Acceptance Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery.
Miramar has agreed in the Support Agreement to: (i) permit all persons holding Options, which by their terms are otherwise currently exercisable or not, to exercise or surrender such Options, including, if permitted by the Exchanges, by causing the vesting thereof to be accelerated, by way of cashless exercise, which exercise may be conditional upon the Offeror taking up and paying for Common Shares under the Offer; and (ii) cause each outstanding Option that has not been exercised (including any conditional exercise as contemplated in (i) above) to be terminated, upon the take-up and payment by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer of such number of Common Shares that satisfies the Minimum Tender Condition.
The Canadian and United States tax consequences to holders of Options of exercising their Options are not described in Section 18 of the Circular, Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations, nor in Section 19 of the Circular, Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations. Holders of Options should consult their tax advisors for advice with respect to potential income tax consequences to them in connection with the decision to exercise or not exercise their Options.
All dollar references in this Notice of Extension and in the Offer and Circular are in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated. On December 6, 2007, the Bank of Canada noon rate of exchange for the Canadian dollar, expressed in United States dollars was Canadian $1.00 = United States $0.99.
3
Certain statements contained herein and in the Offer and Circular, including statements made under Section 8 of the Circular, Purpose of the Offer and Plans for Miramar, Section 10 of the Circular, Source of Funds and Section 16 of the Circular, Acquisition of Common Shares not Deposited, in addition to certain statements contained elsewhere herein and in the Offer and Circular, are forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as plans, expects or intends, anticipates, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, should, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Offeror and Newmont to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of the Offeror and/or Newmont include, among other things, general business and economic conditions globally, commodity price volatility, industry trends, competition, changes in government and other regulation, including in relation to the environment, health and safety and taxation, labour relations and work stoppages, changes in political and economic stability, the failure to meet certain conditions of the Offer and/or the failure to obtain the required approvals or clearances from regulatory and other agencies and bodies on a timely basis or at all, the inability to successfully integrate Miramars operations and programs with those of Newmont, incurring and/or experiencing unanticipated costs and/or delays or difficulties relating to the integration of Miramar into Newmont, disruptions in business operations due to reorganization activities and interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Neither the Offeror nor Newmont, nor any of its associates or respective directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements in this Notice of Extension or the Offer and Circular will actually occur. Such forward-looking statements therefore should be construed in light of such factors and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations, neither the Offeror nor Newmont is under any obligation, and each of them expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
