identified both the recent and continued decline in metal prices and the deferral of potential construction at Tasiast as indicators
of potential impairment. As required by IFRS upon the identification of an indicator of impairment, the Company performed an impairment
assessment using updated assumptions and estimates, including lower short-term and long-term metal prices. The forecast production
output and capital expenditures included in the life of mine plans for all assets other than Tasiast remained unchanged from our
2012 year-end impairment assessment. The Tasiast valuation was based on a 38,000 tonne per day mill scenario, adjusted for the
deferral in potential construction and production. The long-term gold price used in the Q2 impairment assessment was $1,300 per
ounce, compared with $1,500 per ounce used in the year-end 2012 assessment.</P>

a result, the Company recorded after-tax non-cash impairment charges of $2,289.3 million, including an impairment to the carrying
value of property, plantand equipment of $1,334.7 million at Tasiast. Of the total impairment amount, $1,629.4 million was related
to impairment of the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and $659.9 million was related to the impairment of goodwill.
The impairment charges were principally due to the reduction in estimated short-term and long-term metal prices. The Tasiast impairment
charge was also impacted by the deferral of potential construction and production.</P>

help ensure the Company maintains its strong balance sheet and liquidity position in this environment, the Board of Directors
has suspended the upcoming semi-annual dividend. Future decisions regarding the dividend will be based on a number of factors,
including market conditions, balance sheet strength and liquidity, operational performance, and the impact of ongoing cost reduction
measures. The dividend suspension will provide the Company with additional liquidity of approximately $90 million for the remainder
of 2013.&nbsp;</P>
