NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed February 24, 2011 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency and “$” to United States currency.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations

In December 2010, FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) guidance for business combinations was updated to clarify existing guidance which requires a public entity to disclose pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures required to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. Adoption of the updated guidance, effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011, had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting

In January 2010, ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to require enhanced detail in the level 3 reconciliation. Adoption of the updated guidance, effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011, had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 17 for further details regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill Impairment

In September 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to goodwill impairment. Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The update does not change how the Company performs the two-step test under current guidance. The update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to comprehensive income. Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to present the total of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the update requires certain disclosure requirements when reporting other comprehensive income. The update does not change the items reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to income. The update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting

In May 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures around fair value accounting. The updated guidance clarifies different components of fair value accounting including the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The update is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 10 INCOME AND MINING TAXES

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company recorded estimated income and mining tax expense of $371 resulting in an effective tax rate of 36%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the third quarter of 2010 was $360 for an effective tax rate of 31%. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2011 resulted from recording a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset that was generated as a result of the impairment loss on specific marketable equity securities, as well as the change in the jurisdictional blend of the Company’s taxable income and the effect of percentage depletion. During the first nine months of 2011, estimated income and mining tax expense was $863 resulting in an effective tax rate of 30%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first nine months of 2010 was $784 for an effective tax rate of 27%. The higher effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2011 was due to recording a valuation allowance related to the impairment loss on specific marketable equity securities as well as a large benefit in the prior year resulting from the restructuring of the form of the Company’s non-US subsidiaries.

The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and pay the income taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved.

During the quarter, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service issued a Technical Advice Memorandum (“TAM”) to the Company regarding the U.S. income tax treatment of the Price Capped Forward Sales Contracts settled in cash in 2007. The TAM provides guidance which is unfavorable to the Company. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions through all processes available to it and believes it should prevail.

At September 30, 2011, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $111 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $44 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $5 to $10 in the next 12 months.

NOTE 11 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations include Holloway Mining Company, which owned the Holt-McDermott property (“Holt property”) and was sold to St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) in 2006. In 2009, the Superior Court issued a decision finding Newmont Canada Corporation (“Newmont Canada”) liable for a sliding scale royalty on production from the Holt property, which Newmont Canada appealed. In December 2010, the Company recognized a $28 charge, net of tax benefits of $12, related to these legal claims. In May 2011, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the Superior Court ruling resulting in an additional $136 charge, net of tax benefits of $7, in the second quarter.

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations was $4 and $13 in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, Newmont Canada made payments related to the Holt property royalty and the 2010 amount related to the Kori Kollo operation in Bolivia which was sold in 2009.

NOTE 13 INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that weighted average common shares is increased to include the potential issuance of dilutive common shares.

Options to purchase 3 and 2 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $57 and $57 were outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

In February 2009 and July 2007, Newmont issued $518 and $1,150, respectively, of Convertible Senior Notes that, if converted in the future, may have a dilutive effect on the Company’s weighted average number of common shares. The notes issued in 2009 and 2007 are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $45.90 and $45.86, respectively, per share of common stock. Under the convertible note indenture, Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (Newmont average share price in excess of the conversion price), if any, in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with ASC guidance. The average price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the conversion prices for all periods presented, resulting in additional shares included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares.

In connection with the 2007 Convertible Senior Notes offering, the Company entered into Call Spread Transactions which included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $45.86 was effectively increased to $59.81. Should the warrant transactions become dilutive to the Company’s earnings per share (Newmont’s average share price exceeds $59.81) the effect of the warrant transactions on diluted earnings per share will be calculated in accordance with the net share settlement method.

NOTE 16 ACQUISITIONS

On February 3, 2011, we announced an agreement with Fronteer Gold, Inc. (“Fronteer”) to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Fronteer. On April 6, 2011, Newmont acquired 153 million common shares of Fronteer pursuant to the Company’s offer. Under the Arrangement, shareholders of Fronteer received C$14.00 in cash and one-fourth common share in Pilot Gold, which retained certain exploration assets of Fronteer, for each common share of Fronteer. Fronteer owns, among other assets, the exploration stage Long Canyon project, which is located approximately one hundred miles from the Company’s existing infrastructure in Nevada and provides the potential for significant development and operating synergies.

In connection with the acquisition, Newmont incurred transaction costs of $22, which were recorded in Other Expense, net .

The Fronteer purchase price of $2,259 was preliminarily allocated based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the April 6, 2011 acquisition date as follows:


Assets:
Cash	$	2
Property, plant and mine development, net		3,208
Investments		281
Other assets		6

	$	3,497

Liabilities:
Deferred income tax liability	$	1,223
Other liabilities		15

		1,238

Net assets acquired	$	2,259

The final allocation of the purchase price will be completed in the fourth quarter.

The pro forma impact of the acquisition on Net Income was not material as Fronteer was not in production.

NOTE 17 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level 1		Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2		Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3		Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s cash equivalent instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash equivalent instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The securities are segregated based on industry. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

The Company’s marketable debt securities include investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The Company reviews the fair value for auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper on at least a quarterly basis. The auction rate securities are traded in markets that are not active, trade infrequently and have little price transparency. The Company estimated the fair value of the auction rate securities based on weighted average risk calculations using probabilistic cash flow assumptions. The Company estimated the fair value of the asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return to each class of notes reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities. The auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s corporate marketable debt securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, subject to final pricing, is valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves and, as such, is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company’s derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company recorded a contingent consideration liability related to the 2009 acquisition of the final 33.33% interest in Boddington. The estimated value of the contingent consideration was determined using a valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales. The contingent consideration liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company recorded a sliding scale royalty liability related to the divestiture of the Holt property. The estimated fair value of the liability was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices utilizing a $1,300 per ounce long-term assumption, various gold production scenarios based on publicly available reserve and resource information for the Holt property and a 4.2% weighted average discount rate. The contingent royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Unrealized losses of $1 were included in Accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of changes in C$ exchange rates from January 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent 1% and 40%, respectively, of total assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

NOTE 18 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company continues to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market. All of the derivative instruments described below were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow or fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

The foreign currency, diesel and forward starting swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings .

Foreign Currency Contracts

Newmont utilizes foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. Newmont hedges a portion of the Company’s A$ and NZ$ denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to five years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ and $/NZ$ rates, respectively.

In June 2011, Newmont began hedging a portion of the Company’s A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of the Akyem project in Africa utilizing foreign currency contracts. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to two years.

Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts

Newmont hedges a portion of its operating cost exposure related to diesel consumed at its Nevada operations to reduce the variability in realized diesel prices. The hedging instruments consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to two years from the date of issue.

Newmont had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2011:

Forward Starting Swap Contracts

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, Newmont increased its forward starting swaps position to a total notional value of $2,000. These swaps hedge movements in treasury rates related to an expected debt issuance. During the third quarter, the Company revised its expected debt issuance date to the first half of 2012 and extended the terms of the forward starting swap contracts resulting in the recognition of a $10 charge related to hedge ineffectiveness. At September 30, 2011, the hedge contracts were in a liability position of $356. The proceeds from the expected debt issuance will be adjusted by the fair value of the swap contracts at the time of issuance.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

The Company’s provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $4.07 per pound during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.91 per pound before mark-to-market losses and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $4.20 per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $4.17 per pound before mark-to-market losses and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $74 ($0.80 per pound) and $102 ($0.37 per pound), respectively. At September 30, 2011, Newmont had copper sales of 102 million pounds priced at an average of $3.24 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,702 per ounce during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,691 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,534 per ounce during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,525 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $20 ($14 per ounce) and $38 ($9 per ounce), respectively. At September 30, 2011, Newmont had gold sales of 79,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,621 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

The new facility provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars and contains a letter of credit sub-facility. The new facility matures in May 2016. Interest rates and facility fees vary based on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior, uncollateralized, long-term debt. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a market based rate plus a margin determined by the Company’s credit. Facility fees currently accrue at an annual rate of 0.175% of the aggregate commitments. At September 30, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding and $241 outstanding in letters of credit.

This new reducing revolving credit facility provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars. The facility matures in March 2017. The facility is non-recourse to Newmont and substantially all of PTNNT’s assets are pledged as collateral. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 4.00%. Commitment fees currently accrue on the daily average unused amount of the commitment of each lender at an annual rate of 2.00%. There were no borrowings outstanding under the facility at September 30, 2011.

NOTE 28 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company follows ASC guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable (greater than a 75% probability) that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Operating Segments

The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 28 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya and PTNNT matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.

Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $922 and $904, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $40 and $46 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities .

In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $166 and $144 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities . Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 141% greater or 4% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2011. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.

Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.

Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) — 51% Newmont Owned

Midnite Mine Site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).

In 1991, Dawn’s mining lease at the mine was terminated. As a result, Dawn was required to file a formal mine closure and reclamation plan. The Department of Interior commenced an analysis of Dawn’s proposed plan and alternate closure and reclamation plans for the mine. Work on this analysis has been suspended indefinitely. In mid-2000, the mine was included on the National Priorities List under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). In March 2003, the EPA notified Dawn and Newmont that it had thus far expended $12 on the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) under CERCLA. In October 2005, the EPA issued the RI/FS on this property in which it indicated a preferred remedy that it estimated to cost approximately $150. Newmont and Dawn filed comments on the RI/FS with the EPA in January 2006. On October 3, 2006, the EPA issued a final Record of Decision in which it formally selected the preferred remedy identified in the RI/FS.

On January 28, 2005, the EPA filed a lawsuit against Dawn and Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The EPA has asserted that Dawn and Newmont are liable for reclamation or remediation work and costs at the mine. Dawn does not have sufficient funds to pay for the reclamation plan it proposed or for any alternate plan, or for any additional remediation work or costs at the mine.

On July 14, 2008, after a bench trial, the Court held Newmont liable under CERCLA as an “operator” of the Midnite Mine. The Court previously ruled on summary judgment that both the U.S. Government and Dawn were liable under CERCLA. On October 17, 2008, the Court issued its written decision in the bench trial. The Court found Dawn and Newmont jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for past and future response costs, and ruled that each of Dawn and Newmont are responsible to pay one-third of such costs. The Court also found the U.S. Government liable on Dawn’s and Newmont’s contribution claim, and ruled that the U.S. Government is responsible to pay one-third of all past and future response costs. In November 2008, all parties appealed the Court’s ruling. Also in November 2008, the EPA issued an Administrative Order pursuant to Section 106 of CERCLA ordering Dawn and Newmont to conduct water treatment, testing and other preliminary remedial actions. Newmont has initiated those preliminary remedial actions.

As of September 30, 2011, Newmont, Dawn, the Department of Interior, the EPA and the Department of Justice entered into a Consent Decree for remediation of the Midnite Mine site, and filed the Consent Decree with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. All parties moved to dismiss the appeal of the trial court findings. The Court shall elicit public comments regarding the Consent Decree. If the Court approves the Consent Decree following the public comment process: 1) Newmont and Dawn will design, construct and implement the cleanup plan selected by the EPA in 2006 for the Midnite Mine site; 2) Newmont and Dawn will reimburse the EPA for its costs associated with overseeing the work; 3) the Department of the Interior will contribute a lump sum of approximately $54 toward past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite Mine site; and 4) Newmont and Dawn will be responsible for all other EPA oversight costs and Midnite Mine site cleanup costs.

Dawn Mill Site. Dawn also owns a uranium mill site facility, located on private land near Ford, Washington, which is subject to state and federal regulation. In late 1999, Dawn sought and later received approval from the State of Washington for a revised closure plan that expedites the reclamation process at the site. The currently approved plan for the site is guaranteed by Newmont.

Newmont USA Limited — 100% Newmont Owned

Grey Eagle Mine Site . By letter dated September 3, 2002, the EPA notified Newmont that the EPA had expended $3 in response costs to address environmental conditions associated with a historic tailings pile located at the Grey Eagle Mine site near Happy Camp, California, and requested that Newmont pay those costs. The EPA has identified four potentially responsible parties, including Newmont. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the Grey Eagle Mine site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

Ross-Adams Mine Site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (“PTNMR”) — 80% Newmont Owned

On March 22, 2007, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (“WALHI”) filed a civil suit against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources and Ministry of Environment, alleging pollution from the government-approved and permitted disposal of mill tailings into Buyat Bay, and seeking a court order requiring PTNMR to fund a 25-year monitoring program in relation to Buyat Bay. In December 2007, the court ruled in PTNMR’s favor and found that WALHI’s allegations of pollution in Buyat Bay were without merit. In March 2008, WALHI appealed this decision to the Indonesian High Court. On January 27, 2010, the Indonesian High Court upheld the December 2007 ruling in favor of PTNMR. On May 17, 2010, WALHI filed an appeal of the January 27, 2010 Indonesian High Court ruling seeking review from the Indonesian Supreme Court. Independent sampling and testing of Buyat Bay water and fish, as well as area residents, conducted by the World Health Organization and the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, confirm that PTNMR has not polluted the Buyat Bay environment, and, therefore, has not adversely affected the fish in Buyat Bay or the health of nearby residents. The Company remains steadfast that it has not caused pollution or health problems.

Other Legal Matters

Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”) — 51.35% Newmont Owned

Choropampa . In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 22 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) — 31.5% Newmont Owned

Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares were required to be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, owned a 20% interest in PTNNT at all relevant times, in 2006, a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and, in each of 2007 through 2010, an additional 7% interest was required to be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interests were to be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares would be accepted for listing on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

In accordance with the Contract of Work, an offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the Indonesian government in 2006 and an offer for an additional 7% interest was made in each of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. While the central government declined to participate in the 2006 and 2007 offers, local governments in the area in which the Batu Hijau mine is located expressed interest in acquiring shares, as did various Indonesian nationals. After disagreement with the government over whether the government’s first right to purchase had expired and receipt of Notices of Default from the government claiming breach and threatening termination of the Contract of Work, on March 3, 2008, the Indonesian government filed for international arbitration as provided under the Contract of Work, as did PTNNT. In the arbitration proceeding, PTNNT sought a declaration that the Indonesian government was not entitled to terminate the Contract of Work and additional declarations pertaining to the procedures for divesting the shares. For its part, the Indonesian government sought declarations that PTNNT was in default of its divestiture obligations, that the government may terminate the Contract of Work and recover damages for breach of the Contract of Work, and that PTNNT must cause shares subject to divestiture to be sold to certain local governments.

An international arbitration panel (the “Panel”) was appointed to resolve these claims and other claims that had arisen in relation to divestment and a hearing was held in Jakarta in December 2008. On March 31, 2009, the Panel issued its final award and decision on the matter. In its decision, the Panel determined that PTNNT’s foreign shareholders had not complied with the divestiture procedure required by the Contract of Work in 2006 and 2007, but the Panel ruled that the Indonesian government was not entitled to immediately terminate the Contract of Work and rejected the Indonesian government’s claim for damages. The Panel granted PTNNT 180 days from the date of notification of the final award to effect transfer of the 2006 3% interest and the 2007 7% interest in PTNNT to the local governments or their respective nominees. The Panel also applied a 180-day cure period to the 2008 7% interest, requiring that PTNNT effect the offer of the 2008 7% interest to the Indonesian government or its nominee within such 180-day period, and ensure the transfer of such shares if, after agreement on the transfer price, the Indonesian government invoked its right of first refusal under the Contract of Work. On July 14, 2009, the Company reached agreement with the Indonesian government on the price of the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest. PTNNT effected the reoffer of the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest to the Indonesian government at this newly agreed price. In November and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were transferred to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”), the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were transferred to PTMDB in February 2010, resulting in PTMDB owning a 24% interest in PTNNT.

On December 17, 2010, the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, acting on behalf of the Indonesian government, accepted the offer to acquire the final 7% interest in PTNNT. Subsequently, the Indonesian government designated Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (“PIP”), an agency of the Ministry of Finance, as the entity that will buy the final stake. On May 6, 2011, PIP and the foreign shareholders entered into a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of the final 7% divestiture stake. Closing of the transaction is pending receipt of approvals from certain Indonesian government ministries. Subsequent to signing the agreement, a disagreement arose between the Ministry of Finance and the Indonesian parliament in regard to whether parliamentary approval was needed to allow PIP to make the share purchase. In October 2011, press reports stated that Indonesia’s Supreme Audit Agency had determined that parliamentary approval is required. The Ministry of Finance continues to dispute the need for parliamentary approval and further disputes may arise in regard to the divestiture of the 2010 shares.

As part of the negotiation of the sale agreements with PTMDB, the parties executed an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) under which each recognizes the rights of the Company and Sumitomo to apply their operating standards to the management of PTNNT’s operations, including standards for safety, environmental stewardship and community responsibility. The Operating Agreement became effective upon the completion of the sale of the 2009 shares in February 2010 and will continue for so long as the Company and Sumitomo own more shares of PTNNT than PTMDB. If the Operating Agreement terminates, then the Company may lose control over the applicable operating standards for Batu Hijau and will be at risk for operations conducted in a manner that either detracts from value or results in safety, environmental or social standards below those adhered to by the Company and Sumitomo.

In the event of any future disputes under the Contract of Work or Operating Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail in any such dispute and any termination of such contracts could result in substantial diminution in the value of the Company’s interests in PTNNT.

Effective as of January 1, 2011, the local government in the region where the Batu Hijau mine is located commenced the enforcement of local regulations that purport to require PTNNT to pay additional taxes based on revenue and the value of PTNNT’s contracts. In addition, the regulations purport to require PTNNT to obtain certain export-related documents from the regional government for purposes of shipping copper concentrate. PTNNT is required to and has obtained all export related-documents in compliance with the laws and regulations of the central government. PTNNT believes that the new regional regulations are not enforceable as they expressly contradict higher level Indonesian laws that set out the permissible taxes that can be imposed by a regional government and all effective export requirements. PTNNT’s position is supported by Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, Ministry of Trade, and the provincial government. To date, PTNNT has not been forced to comply with these new contradictory regional regulations. On February 4, 2011, PTNNT filed legal proceedings seeking to have the regulations declared null and void because they conflict with the laws of Indonesia. Subsequently, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a decree declaring these local regulations to be contrary to Indonesian law and thus unenforceable. Further disputes with the local government could arise in relation to these regulations. PTNNT intends to vigorously defend its position in this dispute.

Additionally, in September 2011, WALHI brought an administrative law claim against Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment to challenge the May 2011 renewal of PTNNT’s submarine tailings permit. PTNNT and the regional government of KSB (“KSB”) filed separate applications for intervention into the proceedings, both of which were accepted by the Administrative Court. KSB intervened on the side of WALHI, and PTNNT joined on the side of the Ministry of Environment. PTNNT will defend its submarine tailings permit and is confident that the Ministry of Environment acted properly in renewing PTNNT’s permit.

Newmont Mining Corporation claim relating to PTNNT divestiture

The Company is aware of a lawsuit apparently filed by Indonesian citizens living in the province of Nusa Tenggara Barat against Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance and other government officials (as defendants) and against PTNNT and the Company (as co-defendants). Plaintiffs claim that the purchase by the central government of the final 7% divestiture stake in PTNNT violates, or would violate, their human rights. PTNNT’s alleged liability appears to arise from being a party involved in the process of divestiture, and the Company’s status as a holding company of PTNNT. The allegations regarding liability are vague and unclear. Plaintiffs seek various relief, including an order requiring the defendants and co-defendants to transfer the final 7% stake to the regional government of Nusa Tenggara Barat and a payment of approximately $247 in damages. The Company considers that there has been no proper service of process, that there is lack of jurisdiction, and that the claims pertaining to it are entirely without merit.

PT Pukuafu Indah Litigation

In October 2009, PTPI filed a lawsuit in the Central Jakarta District Court against PTNNT and the Indonesian government seeking to cancel the March 2009 arbitration award pertaining to the manner in which divestiture of shares in PTNNT should proceed (refer to the discussion of PTNNT above for the arbitration results). On October 11, 2010, the District Court ruled in favor of PTNNT and the Indonesian government finding, among other things, that PTPI lacks standing to contest the validity of the arbitration award. PTPI has filed a notice of appeal of the court’s ruling.

Subsequent to its initial claim, PTPI filed numerous additional lawsuits, two of which have been withdrawn, against Newmont Indonesia Limited (“NIL”) and Nusa Tenggara Mining Corporation (“NTMC”), a subsidiary of Sumitomo, in the South Jakarta District Court. Fundamentally, the cases all relate to PTPI’s contention that it owns, or has rights to own, the shares in PTNNT that have or will be divested to fulfill the requirements of the PTNNT Contract of Work and the March 2009 arbitration award. PTPI also makes various other allegations, including alleged rights in or to the Company’s or Sumitomo’s non-divestiture shares in PTNNT, and PTPI asserts claims for significant damages allegedly arising from NIL’s and NTMC’s unlawful acts in transferring the divestiture shares to a third party. On November 30, 2010, the South Jakarta District Court rendered a decision in favor of PTPI in one of the cases which included an order that NIL/NTMC transfer 31% of PTNNT shares to PTPI and pay PTPI $26 in damages and certain monetary penalties. The order is not final and binding until the appeal process is completed. NIL and NTMC appealed the decision. On June 28, 2011, the South Jakarta District Court ruled in favor of NIL and NTMC in one of PTPI’s lawsuits contending that PTPI has rights in or to NIL’s and NTMC’s non-divestiture shares. In the Company’s view, this ruling further conflicts with the November 30, 2010 ruling finding that PTPI has rights in the divestiture shares. PTPI has filed a notice of appeal.

In January 2010, PTPI also filed a lawsuit against PTNNT’s President Director, Mr. Martiono Hadianto, alleging wrongful acts associated with the arbitration, including failure to properly share certain information. The South Jakarta District Court issued a decision partially in favor of PTPI against the PTNNT President Director, requiring the production of arbitration documents. The PTNNT President Director has appealed the decision which is nonbinding until the appeal process is completed.

Newmont, Sumitomo and PTNNT’s management believe that all of PTPI’s claims in these matters are without merit and constitute a material breach of a written release agreement executed by PTPI in 2009, in which it and its shareholders committed to cease prosecution of all then-pending lawsuits and not to initiate new proceedings, in conjunction with Newmont’s provision of financing to PTPI in late 2009.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

In August 2010, NIL and NVL USA Limited (“NVL”) commenced an arbitration against PTPI in the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, as provided in relevant financing agreements, seeking declarations that PTPI has violated the release agreement by failing to dismiss its Indonesian lawsuits, that PTPI is in breach of the November 2009 loan facility and related agreements, and that NIL and NVL are entitled to damages arising from PTPI’s and its shareholders’ conduct.

On October 1, 2010, NIL and NVL requested, based upon the release agreement, that the arbitral tribunal issue an interim order requiring PTPI and its shareholders to discontinue the various Indonesian court proceedings and refrain from bringing additional lawsuits. On October 15, 2010, the tribunal issued an order granting NIL and NVL’s request. The order of the tribunal restrains PTPI and its agents from “proceeding with or continuing with or assisting or participating in the prosecution of the Indonesian [s]uits” and from commencing additional proceedings relating to the same subject matter as the Indonesian lawsuits. NIL and NVL are in the process of enforcing the interim award in Indonesian and Singapore courts but it is not known the extent to which the courts will enforce the award or whether PTPI and its shareholders will, in any event, abide by the award and any related court orders. PTPI and its shareholders have commenced proceedings in Singapore court to contest enforcement of the interim award.

On April 7, 2011, the arbitral tribunal issued a final award, while keeping the proceedings open to allow NIL and NVL to seek further relief as necessary, finding PTPI and its shareholders in breach of various provisions of the financing agreements, including the release agreement. The tribunal, for the second time, ordered PTPI and its agents to restrain from proceeding with the Indonesian lawsuits or filing new lawsuits relating to the same subject matter. In addition, the tribunal ordered PTPI and other shareholder defendants, collectively, to pay more than $11 in damages, costs and expenses. The Company has aggressively sought enforcement of the interim award and will continue to do so with regard to the April 7, 2011 award in Indonesian and Singapore courts.

The Company intends to continue vigorously defending the PTPI lawsuits and pursuing its claims against PTPI.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold, Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”). Fronteer has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court by NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 42% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Fronteer was not aware of any obstacle to doing so, that Aurora faced no serious environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced greater delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.

NWG has not yet filed or served a complaint upon Fronteer or Newmont. Newmont intends to defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with ASC income tax guidance (see Note 10).

The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $28 in 2011, $28 in 2012 through 2015 and $251 thereafter.

As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were $1,341 and $1,191, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements, through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above-described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Advancing our project pipeline

As previously disclosed, our current plans reflect the intended development of assets within our global development portfolio that would increase annual attributable gold production to approximately 7 million ounces by 2017. This production target represents a potential aggregate increase of approximately 35% in anticipated 2017 annual production from the Company’s previously announced 2011 attributable gold production outlook of 5.1 to 5.3 million ounces. We also manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects, including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs, and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.

Our development opportunities that have advanced to full funding approval during 2011 and comprise a significant part of the Company’s growth strategy include Akyem in Ghana, Conga in Peru and the Tanami Shaft in Australia, as described further below.

Akyem, Ghana — Since full funding approval by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) in March 2011, the project has continued to advance with confirmation of the main civil and mechanical construction contracts, commencement of bulk earthworks and civil activities, the first structural concrete pour and the establishment of the first set of resettlement villages. First production is anticipated in late 2013 to early 2014 with approximately three to six months expected for ramp-up to commercial production. Gold production is expected to average approximately 350,000 to 450,000 ounces per year at Costs applicable to sales of $450 to $550 per ounce for the first five years of the mine’s operating life of approximately 16 years (based on current gold reserves). Capital costs are estimated at $850 to $1,100. At December 31, 2010, we had 7.2 million ounces of gold reserves at Akyem.

Conga, Peru — Following the full funding approval by the Board in July 2011, the project has continued to progress infrastructure works, earthworks construction, drilling, detailed engineering, procurement of materials and equipment and securing remaining permits needed for construction. First production is expected in late 2014 to early 2015 with approximately six months expected for ramp-up to commercial production. Average annual estimated attributable gold production of approximately 300,000 to 350,000 ounces per year are expected during the first five years of production at average Costs applicable to sales of $400 to $450 per ounce. Average annual estimated attributable copper production of approximately 80 to 120 million pounds per year are expected during the first five years of production at average Costs applicable to sales of $1.25 to $1.75 per pound. The project has an anticipated mine life of approximately 19 years, with additional district exploration potential. Capital costs are estimated at $4,000 to $4,800 ($2,000 to $2,400 attributable to Newmont). At December 31, 2010, we reported 6.1 million attributable ounces of gold reserves and 1.7 billion attributable pounds of copper reserves at Conga.

Tanami Shaft, Australia - Following the full funding approval by the Board in July 2011, development efforts have progressed according to plans. The project will support underground expansion at the Callie and Auron ore bodies, reduce cut-off grade, enhance productivity and facilitate possible additional mine expansion. The project is expected to add average annual attributable gold production of approximately 60,000 to 90,000 ounces during the first five years of production while lowering Costs applicable to sales for the first five years by approximately $100 per ounce. First production is expected in late 2014 to early 2015. Capital costs are expected to be approximately $400 to $450 million based on the recent average Australian dollar exchange rate.

In addition to the projects receiving full funding decisions in 2011, as described above, we advanced approximately 20 earlier stage development assets through our project pipeline in each of our four operating regions. The exploration, construction and operation of these earlier stage development assets may require significant funding, some of which are described further below:

Merian, Suriname — Feasibility Study work for the Merian project began in the third quarter of 2011 and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company has also recently commenced negotiations for a mineral agreement with the government of Suriname. The development of the Merian project allows Newmont to pursue a new district with upside potential and the opportunity to grow and extend the operating life of the South American region. First production is targeted for 2015 with initial estimated gold production of approximately 300,000 ounces per year.

Long Canyon, Nevada — Since completing the acquisition of Fronteer Gold, Inc. in April 2011, the project entered into the pre-feasibility stage as we further develop our understanding of what we expect could be another Carlin-type trend at Long Canyon. We have received an expanded exploration area permit allowing access to project targets. We continue to make progress on the drilling program, to date we have completed 40 kilometers of drilling with an expected additional 10 kilometers in the remainder of 2011. We have engaged engineering firms to assist in developing our plan of operations. Our intention is to bring the project into production in 2017 with initial estimated gold production of approximately 300,000 ounces per year.

Hope Bay, Canada — Hope Bay is a Canadian Arctic greenstone district with a strike length of approximately 80 kilometers by 20 kilometers. Early stage exploration has identified numerous targets within the district. Drilling results to date, including approximately 70 kilometers of diamond drilling completed in 2011, continue to support our view of the approximately 10 million ounce exploration resource potential, none of which are currently in reserves. Diamond drill operations are ongoing in addition to the exploration decline at Doris North which commenced in late 2010. We continue to evaluate development options and economic feasibility for Hope Bay comparatively with other development opportunities within the Company’s wider project pipeline.

Enhanced Gold Price-Linked Dividend

Under the enhanced gold price-linked dividend policy announced in September 2011, our annual dividend has the potential to increase to $4.70 per share if the Company’s average realized gold price exceeds $2,500 per ounce.

The enhanced policy will continue to link the quarterly dividend rate to changes in the gold price but will also provide an additional step up of 7.5 cents per share when the Company’s realized gold price for a quarter exceeds $1,700 per ounce and a further step up of 2.5 cents per share when the Company’s realized gold price for a quarter exceeds $2,000 per ounce. At average realized gold prices below $1,700 per ounce, the dividend policy remains unchanged. Under the policy, unless otherwise determined by the Board, the dividend will be calculated based upon the average realized gold price during the preceding quarter in the manner highlighted in the table below:


Average Realized	Quarterly Dividend				Annualized Dividend
Gold Price	Prior		Enhanced		Prior		Enhanced

$1,100 - $1,199	$	0.100	$	0.100	$	0.400	$	0.400
$1,200 - $1,299	$	0.150	$	0.150	$	0.600	$	0.600

$1,600 - $1,699	$	0.350	$	0.350	$	1.400	$	1.400
$1,700 - $1,799	$	0.400	$	0.425	$	1.600	$	1.700
$1,800 - $1,899	$	0.450	$	0.500	$	1.800	$	2.000
$1,900 - $1,999	$	0.500	$	0.575	$	2.000	$	2.300
$2,000 - $2,099	$	0.550	$	0.675	$	2.200	$	2.700
$2,100 - $2,199	$	0.600	$	0.775	$	2.400	$	3.100
$2,200 - $2,299	$	0.650	$	0.875	$	2.600	$	3.500
$2,300 - $2,399	$	0.700	$	0.975	$	2.800	$	3.900
$2,400 - $2,499	$	0.750	$	1.075	$	3.000	$	4.300
$2,500 - $2,599	$	0.800	$	1.175	$	3.200	$	4.700

The fourth quarter 2011 dividend under this policy of $0.35 per share (based on a third quarter 2011 average realized gold price of $1,695 per ounce) represents an increase of 17% over the $0.30 dividend paid in the third quarter of 2011, and an increase of 133% over the fourth quarter 2010 dividend. This dividend policy is intended as a non-binding guideline which will be periodically reviewed and reassessed by the Board. The declaration and payment of future dividends remains at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

Consolidated Financial Results

Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the third quarter of 2011 was $493 ($1.00 per share) compared to $537 ($1.09 per share) for the third quarter of 2010. Results for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 were impacted by higher realized gold prices, partially offset by lower copper prices, lower sales volumes, higher production costs, and a $174 impairment of marketable equity securities. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first nine months of 2011 was $1,394 ($2.82 per share) compared to $1,465 ($2.98 per share) for the first nine months of 2010. Results for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 were impacted by higher realized gold and copper prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes, higher production costs and income taxes, a $175 impairment of marketable equity securities, a $136 Loss from discontinued operations , acquisition related expenses and a large tax benefit resulting from the restructuring of the form of the Company’s non-US subsidiaries realized in 2010.

Gold Sales increased 23% and 17% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010 due to higher realized prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. The following analysis summarizes the change in consolidated gold sales:

Costs applicable to sales for gold increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 due to higher waste mining activities, higher milling and royalty costs, higher diesel prices, a stronger Australian dollar and a higher co-product allocation of costs to gold, partially offset by lower worker’s participation costs. Costs applicable to sales for copper decreased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 due to a lower co-product allocation of costs to copper, partially offset by higher waste mining costs at Batu Hijau and higher mill maintenance costs at Boddington. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Amortization increased in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 due to higher mine development and asset retirement costs at Yanacocha and higher mine development costs at Other Australia/New Zealand. Amortization increased in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 due to higher mine development and asset retirement costs at Yanacocha and higher mine development costs at Other Australia/New Zealand, partially offset by lower production from Batu Hijau. We continue to expect Amortization to be approximately $1,025 to $1,035 in 2011.

The following is a summary of Costs applicable to sales and Amortization by operation:

Exploration expense increased $37 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 due to additional expenditures in all regions, with the largest increases at Long Canyon and Hope Bay. Exploration expense increased $92 in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 due to additional expenditures in all regions, with the largest increases at Long Canyon and other operations at Nevada, Hope Bay, Ahafo and Jundee. We continue to expect Exploration expense to be approximately $335 to $345 in 2011.

Advanced projects, research and development expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and 2010 are summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

	$	93	$	46	$	247	$	149

We continue to expect Advanced projects, research and development expenses to be approximately $405 to $415 in 2011.

General and administrative expenses increased by $5 and $12 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2010 due to higher compensation and benefit costs resulting mainly from a larger workforce to support our growth plans. We continue to expect General and administrative expenses to be approximately $190 to $200 in 2011.

Other expense, net decreased by $14 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 mainly due to lower community development costs. Other expense, net decreased by $4 in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 due to lower community development costs, partially offset by the Indonesian value added tax settlement and Fronteer acquisition costs.

Other income, net decreased by $81 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 due to the impairment loss on Paladin Energy Ltd. (“Paladin”) of $148 and other marketable equity securities of $26, partially offset by the gain on the sale of other marketable equity securities and foreign currency exchange gains in 2011 compared to losses in 2010. Paladin is a uranium producer and our investment was acquired with the Fronteer acquisition. The value of the Paladin securities has declined since Japan’s nuclear crisis in March 2011. Other income, net decreased by $94 in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010 due to the impairment loss on Paladin of $148 and other marketable equity securities of $27 and the sale of non-core assets in 2010 partially offset by the gain on the sale of New Gold, Inc. and other marketable equity securities and foreign currency exchange gains in 2011 compared to losses in 2010.

Interest expense, net decreased by $1 and $17 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010 due to the prepayment of the Yanacocha senior notes and credit facility in 2010 and higher capitalized interest, partially offset by commitment fees on the PTNNT revolving credit facility. Capitalized interest increased by $9 and $19 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010 due to higher capitalized costs related to the advancement of our Conga and Akyem projects. We continue to expect Interest expense, net to be approximately $235 to $245 in 2011.

Income and mining tax expense during the third quarter of 2011 was $371 resulting in an effective tax rate of 36%. Income and mining tax expense during the third quarter of 2010 was $360 for an effective tax rate of 31%. The higher effective rate in 2011 resulted from recording a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset generated as a result of the impairment loss on specific marketable equity securities and the change in the jurisdictional blend of our taxable income and the effect it has on the overall rate impact from percentage depletion. Income and mining tax expense during the first nine months of 2011 was $863 resulting in an effective tax rate of 30%. Income and mining tax expense during the first nine months of 2010 was $784 for an effective tax rate of 27%. The higher effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2011 was due to recording a valuation allowance related to the impairment loss on specific marketable equity securities as well as a large benefit in the prior year resulting from the restructuring of the form of the Company’s non-US subsidiaries. The effective tax rates are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the above mentioned tax benefits and U.S. percentage depletion. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed February 24, 2011.

During the quarter, the U.S. Internal Revenue Services issued a Technical Advice Memorandum (“TAM”) to us regarding the income tax treatment of the 2007 cash settlement of the Price Capped Forward Sales Contracts. The TAM provides unfavorable guidance and we intend to vigorously defend our positions through all available processes.

During the quarter, Peru enacted four new tax laws. The enactment of the new Peruvian taxes is not anticipated to necessitate adjustment to deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. The new tax laws are not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s Income and mining tax expense.

We expect the 2011 consolidated tax rate to be approximately 29% to 31%, assuming an average realized gold price of $1,600 per ounce in the remainder of the year.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $182 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $277 in the third quarter of 2010 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau, partially offset by increased earnings at Yanacocha. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $475 in the first nine months of 2011 compared to $629 in the first nine months of 2010 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau.

Loss from discontinued operations includes the accrual of St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd.’s Holt property royalty in the second quarter of 2011. In 2009, the Superior Court issued a decision finding Newmont Canada Corporation (“Newmont Canada”) liable for a sliding scale royalty on production from the Holt property, which Newmont Canada appealed. In May 2011, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the Superior Court ruling resulting in a $136 charge, net of tax benefits of $7.

Third quarter 2011 compared to 2010

Consolidated gold production decreased 10% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau, lower leach placement at Yanacocha and lower mill grade at Nevada and Ahafo. Consolidated copper production decreased 35% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 33% due to lower production, higher waste mining, milling, labor and royalty costs and a higher co-product allocation of costs to gold. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 51% due to lower production at Batu Hijau, partially offset by lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.

Amortization increased 35% per consolidated gold ounce sold and 20% per consolidated copper pound sold due to lower production and higher mine development and asset retirement costs, partially offset by an increase in reserves.

First nine months 2011 compared to 2010

Consolidated gold production decreased 9% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau, lower mill grade at Nevada and lower leach placement at Yanacocha, partially offset by higher mill grade and recovery at Ahafo. Consolidated copper production decreased 40% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 23% due to lower production from Batu Hijau, Yanacocha and Nevada, higher waste mining, milling, labor and royalty costs and higher commodity prices, partially offset by higher silver by-product credits and lower workers’ participation costs. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 54% due to lower production at Batu Hijau.

Amortization increased 28% per consolidated gold ounce sold and 29% per consolidated copper pound sold due to lower production and higher mine development and asset retirement costs.

We continue to expect gold production of 5.1 to 5.3 million ounces attributable to Newmont at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $560 to $590. Potentially lower grades due to mine sequencing at Gold Quarry and lower grades at Exodus in Nevada could result in the Company’s attributable gold production for the year to be near the bottom of this range. Potentially lower production in Nevada as well as higher operating costs at Boddington, and a higher co-product allocation of costs to gold could result in the Company’s Costs applicable to sales for the year to be near the top of this range. Our Costs applicable to sales for the year are expected to change by approximately $2 per ounce for every $10 change in the oil price and by approximately $1 per ounce for every $0.10 change in the A$ exchange rate. We continue to expect copper production of approximately 190 to 220 million pounds attributable to Newmont at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of approximately $1.25 to $1.50 in 2011. A lower co-product allocation of costs to copper could result in the Company’s Costs applicable to sales for the year to be below or near the bottom of this range.

Third quarter 2011 compared to 2010

Nevada, USA. Gold production decreased 6% due to lower mill grade and throughput, partially offset by higher leach placement and recoveries. Open pit ore tons mined increased 167% as the remediation of the Gold Quarry pit slope failure was completed and additional ore tons were mined from Twin Creeks due to mine sequencing. Leeville experienced ground movement resulting in damage to the ventilation shaft and other infrastructure. While not impacting current year production, further underground development is being deferred until required repairs are completed in the first quarter of 2012. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 15% due to lower production, lower silver and copper by-product credits and higher royalty costs. Amortization per ounce increased 14% due to lower production and higher mine development costs.

La Herradura, Mexico. Gold production increased 29% due to higher leach placement at Soledad-Dipolos. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 24% due to higher mining, leaching and employee profit sharing costs, partially offset by higher production and silver by-product credits. Amortization per ounce decreased 17% due to higher production.

First nine months 2011 compared to 2010

Nevada, USA. Gold production decreased 7% due to mining and processing lower grade ore and lower leach recoveries, partially offset by the commencement of underground mining at Exodus and Pete Bajo. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 11% due to lower production, higher diesel costs and higher royalties, partially offset by higher silver and copper by-product credits. Amortization per ounce increased 11% due to lower production and equipment additions.

La Herradura, Mexico. Gold production increased 25% due to higher ore tons mined and higher leach placement at Soledad-Dipolos. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 20% due to higher mining, leaching and employee profit sharing costs, partially offset by higher production and silver by-product credits. Amortization per ounce decreased 10% due to higher production.

As a result of lower grades due to mine sequencing at Gold Quarry, temporary lack of access to the Chukar mine and lower tonnage and grades at Exodus, we now expect gold production in North America of approximately 1.9 to 2.0 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $560 to $600 in 2011.

Third quarter 2011 compared to 2010

Yanacocha, Peru. Gold production decreased 8% due to lower leach placement at Carachugo and La Quinua as a result of mine sequencing and lower equipment availability, partially offset by higher mill grade. Ore tons mined decreased 29% due to mine sequencing at El Tapado. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 45% due to lower production, higher diesel, worker’s participation and royalty costs, lower silver by-product credits and an unfavorable leach pad recovery estimate adjustment. Amortization per ounce increased 79% due to lower production and higher mine development and asset retirement costs.

First nine months 2011 compared to 2010

Yanacocha, Peru. Gold production decreased 15% due to lower leach placement at Yanacocha, La Quinua and Carachugo as a result of mine sequencing and lower equipment availability, partially offset by higher mill grade. Ore tons mined decreased 34% due to mine sequencing and adverse working conditions at El Tapado. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 47% due to lower production, higher waste mining, diesel and royalty costs and an unfavorable leach pad recovery estimate adjustment, partially offset by higher silver by-product credits and lower workers’ participation costs. Amortization per ounce increased 89% due to lower production and higher mine development and asset retirement costs.

As a result of lower leach placement at Yanacocha, partially offset by better than expected performance at La Zanja, we now expect attributable gold production in South America of approximately 700,000 to 730,000 ounces at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $560 to $600 in 2011.

We continue to expect attributable gold production for Asia Pacific of approximately 1.9 to 2.0 million ounces at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $600 to $675 and attributable copper production of approximately 190 to 220 million pounds at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of approximately $1.25 to $1.50 in 2011.

On May 6, 2011 we announced that a definitive agreement was signed with an agency of the Indonesian Government’s Ministry of Finance for the sale of the final 7% divestiture stake in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), as required under the terms of PTNNT’s Contract of Work with the Indonesian Government. PTNNT operates the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in Indonesia. Nusa Tenggara Partnership B.V. (“NTPBV”), which holds Newmont’s shares in PTNNT together with shares held by a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan, entered into the agreement with Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (“PIP”). The Government of Indonesia designated PIP as the buyer for the final 7% interest by exercising a right of first refusal set out in the Contract of Work. Upon closing of the transaction, NTPBV’s interest in Batu Hijau will be reduced to 49%, as required under the Contract of Work. The price agreed for the 7% stake is approximately $247.

Newmont’s economic interest in PTNNT following the closing of the transaction will be 44.56%, which includes direct ownership of 27.56% and a 17% effective economic interest through financing arrangements with existing shareholders. We have identified VIEs in connection with our economic interests in PTNNT due to certain funding arrangements and shareholder commitments. We have financing arrangements with PT Pukuafu Indah and PT Indonesia Masbaga Investama, whereby we agreed to advance certain funds to them in exchange for (i) a pledge of their combined 20% share of PTNNT, (ii) an assignment of dividends payable on the shares, net of withholding tax, (iii) a commitment from them to support the application of our standards to the operation of the Batu Hijau mine, and (iv) as of September 16, 2011 in respect of PT Pukuafu Indah only, powers of attorney to vote and sell PTNNT shares in support of the pledge, enforceable in an event of default as further security for the funding.

Third quarter 2011 compared to 2010

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production decreased 6% due to lower mill grade, partially offset by higher recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 19% due to lower production and higher labor, diesel and royalty costs.

First nine months 2011 compared to 2010

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production increased 17% due to higher mill throughput, grade and recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 2% due to higher commodity prices, royalty and mining equipment maintenance costs, partially offset by higher production.

As a result of slightly higher than expected grades and recoveries, we now expect gold production in Africa of approximately 560,000 to 590,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $470 and $500 in 2011.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 45% and 36% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Approximately 43% and 36% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations increased consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce by approximately $15, net of hedging gains, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Provided from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from continuing operations was $2,666 in the first nine months of 2011, an increase of $331 from the first nine months of 2010 primarily due to higher realized gold and copper prices of $1,519 and $117, respectively, and a net reduction in working capital of $243, partially offset by lower gold and copper sales volume impacts of $533 and $528, respectively, as discussed above in Consolidated Financial Results , higher costs applicable to sales of $257, higher research and development costs of $98 and higher exploration costs of $92.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $4,028 during the first nine months of 2011 compared to $1,002 during the same period of 2010, due largely to the acquisition of Fronteer and increased capital spending. Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Environmental

Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $922 and $904, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties.

In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $166 and $144 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We spent $6 and $15 during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities and have classified $17 as a current liability at September 30, 2011.

During the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, capital expenditures were approximately $110 and $54, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 4 and 28 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net income

Management of the Company uses Adjusted net income to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income allows investors and analysts to compare results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals to similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional or unusual items. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income as follows:

⁽¹⁾		Calculated using weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic.

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on both a consolidated and attributable to Newmont basis. Attributable costs applicable to sales are based on our economic interest in production from our mines. For operations where we hold less than a 100% economic share in the production, we exclude the share of gold or copper production attributable to the noncontrolling interest. We include attributable costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound to provide management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Net attributable costs applicable to sales per ounce measures the benefit of copper produced in conjunction with gold, as a credit against the cost of producing gold. A number of other gold producers present their costs net of the contribution from copper and other non-gold sales. We believe that including a measure on this basis provides management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers, and to better assess the overall performance of our business. In addition, this measure provides information to enable investors and analysts to understand the importance of non-gold revenues to our cost structure.

The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

ITEM 3.		QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).

Metal Prices

Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability; and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.

Hedging

Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We have and will continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.

By using derivatives, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or make any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.

Cash Flow Hedges

We utilize foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. We hedge a portion of our A$ and NZ$ denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to five years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ and $/NZ$ rates, respectively. We also utilize foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of the Company’s A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of the Akyem project in Africa and the Tanami mine shaft in Australia. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to three years. We use diesel contracts to reduce the variability of our operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at our Nevada operations. We utilize forward starting swap contracts to hedge against adverse movements in interest rates related to an expected debt issuance. All of the currency, diesel and forward starting swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future expenditures, and as such, changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income . Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings .

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2011:


	Expected Maturity Date
																			Total
	2011			2012			2013			2014			2015			2016			Average
A$ Operating Fixed Forward Contracts:

Expected hedge ratio		64	%		41	%		15	%		—			—			—

The fair value of the A$ foreign currency operating derivative contracts was a net asset position of $59 and $295 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of the NZ$ foreign currency derivative contracts was a net asset position of $nil and $6 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of the A$ capital foreign currency contracts was a net liability position of $9 at September 30, 2011.

Diesel Price Risk

We had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2011:


	Expected Maturity Date
	2011			2012			2013			Total Average
Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts:
Diesel gallons (millions)		6			18			4			28
Average rate ($/gallon)		2.61			2.77			2.96			2.76
Expected hedge ratio		58	%		39	%		10	%

The fair value of the diesel derivative contracts was a net asset position of $nil and $8 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Forward Starting Swaps

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we increased our forward starting swaps position to a total notional value of $2,000. These swaps hedge movements in treasury rates related to an expected debt issuance. During the third quarter 2011, we revised our expected debt issuance date to the first half of 2012 and extended the terms of the forward starting swap contracts resulting in the recognition of a $10 charge related to hedge ineffectiveness. At September 30, 2011, the hedge contracts were in a liability position of $356. The proceeds from the expected debt issuance will be adjusted by the fair value of the swap contracts at the time of issuance.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Risk

We had $222 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against debt which matured in May 2011.

Commodity Price Risk

Our provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $4.07 per pound during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $3.91 per pound before mark-to-market losses and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $4.20 per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $4.17 per pound before mark-to-market losses and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $74 ($0.80 per pound) and $102 ($0.37 per pound), respectively. At September 30, 2011, we had copper sales of 102 million pounds priced at an average of $3.24 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.10 change in the price for provisionally priced sales would have an approximate $4 effect on our Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders . The LME closing settlement price at September 30, 2011 for copper was $3.15 per pound.

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,702 per ounce during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $1,691 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,534 per ounce during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $1,525 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $20 ($14 per ounce) and $38 ($9 per ounce), respectively. At September 30, 2011, we had gold sales of 79,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,621 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $10 change in the price for provisionally priced gold sales would have an insignificant effect on our Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders . The London P.M. closing settlement price at September 30, 2011 for gold was $1,624 per ounce.


ITEM 4.		CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

During the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).

ITEM 5.		OTHER INFORMATION.

Mine Safety Disclosure

At Newmont, safety is a core value and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a superior safe and healthy environment and are intended as a means to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.

In addition, we have an established “Rapid Response” process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences in the event that existing risk management controls fail, particularly in the event of an incident that may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, minimizes the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, ensures communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and identifies actions that need to be taken on a broader scale than can be predicted by those involved in overcoming the immediate hazards.

The operation of our U.S. based mines is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.

Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and that required information is included in exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.

Executive Severance Plan

On October 25, 2011, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted an Executive Severance Plan applicable to the Senior Director and above levels of the Company. Under the new plan, any eligible employee who is subject to involuntary termination of employment for any reason other than cause is entitled to severance benefits. Cause is defined as engagement in illegal conduct or gross negligence, or willful misconduct or any dishonest or fraudulent activity, breach of any contract, agreement or representation with the Company, or violation of Newmont’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. Severance benefits consist of: 1) a fixed number of months of base salary; 2) target pro-rated bonus; 3) medical benefits for the severance period, not to exceed 18 months, and 4) outplacement services for up to 12 months. The range of fixed number of months of base salary is as follows:


Salary Grade		Benefit

CEO	E1	24 months of Salary

EVP	E2 E3	15 months of Salary + 1 month of Salary for every year of Service up to a maximum of 18 months of Salary

SVP	E4	12 months of Salary + 1 month of Salary for every year of Service up to a maximum of 15 months of Salary

VP	E5	12 months of Salary

Group Executive	E6	9 months of Salary + 1 month of Salary for every year of Service up to a maximum of 12 months of Salary

Senior Director	109	6 months of Salary + 1 month of Salary for every year of Service up to a maximum of 9 months of Salary

For equity grants made in 2012 and going forward, in the case of separation of employment under the Executive Severance Plan, there shall be no acceleration of unvested options and a pro-rata percent of restricted stock units (under the Financial Performance Share and the Performance Share Unit programs) in the event of involuntary separation under the new Executive Severance Plan. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Executive Severance Plan attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
