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, 2011 filed February 24, 2012 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.

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

Goodwill Impairment

In September 2011, the 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 impairment test under current guidance. The Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of the guidance had no impact on the Company’s 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 Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of the updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 9 INCOME AND MINING TAXES

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded estimated income and mining tax expense of $343 resulting in an effective tax rate of 33%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first quarter of 2011 was $305 for an effective tax rate of 31%. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2011 to 2012 is a result of valuation allowances recorded on our Canadian deferred tax assets generated in the quarter. Aside from the above mentioned valuation allowance, the effective tax rates in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the U.S. percentage depletion deduction.

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.

At March 31, 2012, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $242 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $45 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 $25 to $30 in the next 12 months.

The Company’s income and mining tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:

NOTE 10 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 May 2011, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld the Superior Court ruling. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $71 charge, net of tax benefits of $4, to reflect an increase in future expected production at the Holt property due to new reserve and resource estimates published by St. Andrew and an increase in the current spot gold price.

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $4 in the first quarter of 2012 relates to payments on the Holt property royalty.

NOTE 12 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 1 and 2 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $59 and $57 were outstanding at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Under its convertible note indentures, Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of its 2014 and 2017 Convertible Senior Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion premium (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 for the period in which the Convertible Senior Notes were outstanding during the quarter.

In February 2012, the holders of the Company’s 2012 Convertible Senior Notes exercised their election to convert the notes. The Company elected to pay the $172 conversion premium with cash, and as a result no common shares were issued.

NOTE 14 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).

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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

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.

	$	290	$	—	$	—	$	290

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’s corporate marketable debt securities are valued using quoted market prices in non-active markets and as such are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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 cash flow assumptions discounted approximately 42%, which reflects an estimated discount for lack of marketability. The Company estimated the fair value of its asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return ranging from 13%-74% for each class of notes, which is reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities. As a result of utilizing the unobservable inputs noted above in its fair value estimation of the Company’s auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper, both fair value estimates are classified within Level 3 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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

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 estimated value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales. At March 31, 2012 the Company used the following long-term price assumptions: 1) $1,500 per ounce gold price, 2) $3.50 per pound copper price, 3) $90 per barrel of oil, and 4) a $1.00 A$/US$ exchange rate. The Company used an approximately 4% discount rate in the model. The contingent royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Holt sliding scale royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices utilizing a long-term gold price assumption of $1,500 per ounce, various gold production scenarios based on publicly available reserve and resource information for the Holt property and an approximately 4% weighted average discount rate. The sliding scale 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 three months ended March 31, 2012:


	Auction Rate Securities		Asset Backed Commercial Paper		Total Assets		Boddington Contingent Royalty			Holt Property Royalty			Total Liabilities
Balance at beginning of period	$	5	$	19	$	24	$	54		$	176		$	230

Revaluation		—		—		—		—			75			75

Balance at end of period	$	5	$	19	$	24	$	43		$	247		$	290

At March 31, 2012, assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent 1% and 100%, respectively, of total assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

NOTE 15 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.

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 three years from the date of issue.

Newmont had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2012:

Forward Starting Swap Contracts

During 2011, Newmont entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2,000. These contracts hedged movements in treasury rates related to a debt issuance that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. On March 8, 2012, Newmont closed its sale of $2,500 senior notes consisting of 3.5% senior notes due 2022 in the principal amount of $1,500 (10-year notes), and 4.875% senior notes due 2042 in the principal amount of $1,000 (30-year notes). As a result of the debt issued, the forward-starting interest rate swaps were settled. The total settlement amount of these swaps was $362, of which $349 represents the effective portion of the hedging instrument included in Accumulated other comprehensive income . The net proceeds from the debt issuance were adjusted by the settlement amount of the swap contracts and included as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

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.

LME copper prices averaged $3.77 per pound during the first quarter of 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.75 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. During the first quarter of 2012, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $31 ($0.53 per pound). At March 31, 2012, Newmont had copper sales of 58 million pounds priced at an average of $3.83 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,691 per ounce during the first quarter of 2012, consistent with the Company’s recorded average provisional price before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. During the first quarter of 2012, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $6 ($4 per ounce). At March 31, 2012, Newmont had gold sales of 95,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,663 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

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

The following tables present the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:


	Less than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater				Total
At March 31, 2012	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses
Marketable equity securities	$	24	$	3	$	—	$	—	$	24	$	3

	Less than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater				Total

Asset backed commercial paper	$	—	$	—	$	19	$	6	$	19	$	6

Marketable equity securities		42		18		—		—		42		18

	$	42	$	18	$	24	$	8	$	66	$	26

While the fair values of the Company’s investments in asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. The Company intends to hold its investment in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper until maturity or such time that the market recovers and therefore considers these losses temporary.

NOTE 25 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company follows ASC guidance in accounting for loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from 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 contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable 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 25 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,136 and $1,070, 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 $47 and $47 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities .

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, $197 and $170 were accrued for such obligations at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 106% greater or 7% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 2012. 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.

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.

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

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. Ongoing monitoring of seawater quality by an Independent Scientific Panel continues to confirm that PTNMR’s operations have not adversely affected the environment. 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 the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. Yanacocha 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 offered for sale to the Indonesian parties was the fair market value of such interest considering PTNNT as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government.

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.

An international arbitration panel (the “Panel”) was appointed to resolve these claims and other claims that had arisen in relation to divestment and 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. 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 has filed a case with Indonesia’s Constitutional Court to have the issue finally resolved. 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.

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

Effective 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. On April 3, 2012, the Administrative Court ruled in favor of the Ministry of Environment and PTNNT, finding that the Ministry of Environment properly renewed the permit in accordance with Indonesian law and regulations. WALHI has announced that it has appealed the verdict. PTNNT will continue to defend its submarine tailings permit and is confident that the Ministry of Environment acted properly in renewing PTNNT’s permit.

Claim against Newmont Mining Corporation 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 supposedly to arise from being a party involved in the process of divestiture, and the Company’s from being a holding company of PTNNT. The allegations regarding alleged 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, including those pertaining to it and PTNNT, 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 filed an appeal to the High Court, which was rejected by the High Court on January 4, 2012. PTPI has not yet further appealed the case.

Subsequent to its initial claim, PTPI filed numerous additional lawsuits, three 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 been 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 NTMC’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 that 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 March 2012, the District Court dismissed PTPI’s final two cases that were pending at the trial court level, and PTPI has to date appealed one of these lawsuits.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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

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.

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 obtained an enforcement order in Singapore courts but it is not known whether PTPI and its shareholders will abide by the court order. PTPI and its shareholders’ proceedings in Singapore court to contest enforcement of the interim award were rejected by the court.

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. NIL and NVL obtained an enforcement order in Singapore courts but it is not known whether PTPI and its shareholders will comply with the court order. NIL and NVL have also registered the final award in the Central Jakarta District Court to seek enforcement in Indonesia.

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 9).

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 2012 through 2016 and $223 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $1,482 and $1,354, 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.

NOTE 26 SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 13.5. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents income before income and mining tax expense, equity income (loss) of affiliates, loss from discontinued operations and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, divided by interest expense. Interest expense includes amortization of capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense representative of interest. Interest expense does not include interest on income tax liabilities. The computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges can be found in Exhibit 12.1.

Newmont is one of the world’s largest gold producers and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and Fortune 500, and has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World for five consecutive years. We are also engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and gold/copper properties. We have significant operations and/or assets in the United States, Australia, Peru, Indonesia, Ghana, Mexico and New Zealand.

Our vision is to be the most valued and respected mining company through industry leading performance. We remain focused on progressing the development of our next generation of mining projects. Approximately 60% of our 2012 capital expenditures will be invested in these projects and the development of our pipeline, funded primarily from Net cash from continuing operations , as we continue to deliver solid leverage to the gold price. First quarter 2012 highlights are included below and discussed further in Results of Consolidated Operations .

Advancing our project pipeline

We 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 opportunities in the Execution phase of development comprise a significant part of the Company’s growth strategy and include Akyem in Ghana, Conga in Peru, Tanami Shaft in Australia and the Phoenix Copper Leach and Emigrant in Nevada, as described further below.

Akyem, Ghana . Construction activities at the Akyem project continue to progress according to plan. First production is expected in late 2013 to early 2014 with approximately three to six months expected for ramp-up to commercial production. Gold production is expected to be 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, of which approximately $538 have been incurred at March 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, we reported 7.4 million ounces of gold reserves at Akyem.

Conga, Peru . Due to local political and community protests, construction and development activities at the Conga project were largely suspended in November 2011 and recommencement remains subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those relating to the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) review. The Conga project’s EIA, which was previously approved by the central government of Peru in October 2010 following an extensive public engagement process, was subject to a review by independent experts during the first quarter at the request of the central government. The results of the independent review were released on April 17, 2012 and confirmed that the EIA met Peruvian and international standards. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the recommendations contained in the independent report, and additional recommendations from the central government related to the report, to assess the impact on the project economics. Should the Company be unable to continue with the development of Conga, the Company may reprioritize and reallocate capital to other development alternatives in Nevada, Australia, Ghana and Indonesia, which may result in an impairment of the Conga project. For additional information, see Newmont’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC, under the heading “Risk Factors - Our operations at Yanacocha and the development of our Conga Project in Peru are subject to political and social unrest risks, which have resulted most recently in the suspension of construction activities in our Conga project.”

Tanami Shaft, Australia . Development efforts at the Tanami Shaft continue to progress. The project supports underground expansion at the Callie and Auron ore bodies to: reduce cut-off grade, enhance productivity and facilitate possible additional mine expansion. The project is expected to add gold production of approximately 60,000 to 90,000 ounces per year during the first five years of production while lowering Costs applicable to sales for the first five years by approximately $100 per ounce at Other Australia/New Zealand. Capital costs are expected to be approximately $400 to $450, of which approximately $38 have been incurred at March 31, 2012.

Phoenix Copper Leach, Nevada . The Board of Directors recently authorized full funding for the Phoenix Copper Leach project in Nevada and advanced the project into the Execution phase of development. Delivering the Phoenix Copper Leach project on time and within budget generates positive economics and provides operational diversity to the site and the North American Region. The project also demonstrates the viability of permitting copper leaching in Nevada, thus generating a springboard for future opportunities in the region.

Emigrant, Nevada. Construction is in process and first production is anticipated in the second half of 2012. Emigrant provides a new source of gold production for the North America region, unconstrained by Carlin’s fixed mill capacity over an 8.5 year mine life. Gold production is expected to be approximately 80,000 to 90,000 ounces per year at Costs applicable to sales of $600 to $700 per ounce for the first five years of the mine’s operating life. Capital costs are estimated at approximately $100, of which approximately $74 have been incurred at March 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, we reported 1.6 million ounces of gold reserves at Emigrant.

In addition to these projects in the Execution phase of development, as described above, we continue to advance earlier stage development assets through our project pipeline in our four operating regions. The exploration, construction and operation of these earlier stage development assets will require significant funding when they go into execution. Two of these projects 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 continues 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 attributable gold production of approximately 300,000 ounces per year.

Long Canyon, Nevada . We continue to further develop our understanding of what we expect could be another Carlin-type trend at Long Canyon. We continue to make progress on the drilling program and we anticipate an additional 65 kilometers to be drilled in 2012. Our intention is to bring the project into production in 2017 with initial estimated gold production of approximately 200,000 to 300,000 ounces per year.

Consolidated Financial Results

Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first quarter of 2012 was $490, or $0.99 per share, compared to $514, or $1.04 per share, for the first quarter of 2011. Results for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 were impacted by lower copper and gold production from Batu Hijau and a $71 loss from discontinued operations, largely offset by a higher realized gold price and higher gold production from Yanacocha.

Gold Sales increased 20% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to higher realized prices. The following analysis summarizes the changes in consolidated gold sales:

Costs applicable to sales for gold increased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to higher labor, energy and royalty costs, a higher allocation of costs to gold, lower by-product credits and a stronger Australian dollar. Costs applicable to sales for copper was also impacted in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 by higher labor, energy and royalty costs, a stronger Australian dollar and lower by-product credits, offset by a lower allocation of costs to copper. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Amortization decreased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to increases in inventory and stockpiles at Nevada and Batu Hijau. We expect Amortization expense to be approximately $1,050 to $1,080 in 2012.

We expect Advanced projects, research and development expenses to be approximately $475 to $525 in 2012, with a primary focus on Merian in Other South America, Midas and Long Canyon in Nevada, Chaquicocha underground in Yanacocha, Elang in Asia Pacific and Ahafo mill expansion in Africa.

General and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to increased salaries and benefits. We expect 2012 General and administrative expenses to be approximately $210 to $230.

Other expense, net was $120 and $73 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase is due to Hope Bay care and maintenance of $50 and higher community development expense of $14, partially offset by non-recurring expense of $21 in 2011 to settle value added tax in Indonesia.

Other income, net was $33 and $31 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase is primarily related to the reversal of an allowance for loan receivable of $21, higher gain on asset sales of $7, refinery income of $5 and higher Canadian Oil Sands’ dividends of $3, partially offset by impairment losses on marketable securities of $24, lower income from developing projects of $10 and higher foreign currency exchange losses of $4 in 2012.

Interest expense, net decreased by $13 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to the repayment of the 2012 Convertible Senior Notes and higher capitalized interest of $17 due to spending on our internal growth opportunities. We expect 2012 Interest expense, net to be approximately $240 to $260.

Income and mining tax expense during the first quarter of 2012 was $343 resulting in an effective tax rate of 33%. Income and mining tax expense during the first quarter of 2011 was $305 for an effective tax rate of 31%. The increase of 2% in the effective tax rate from 2011 to 2012 was the result of valuation allowances recorded on our Canadian deferred tax assets generated in the quarter. The effective tax rates in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the above mentioned valuation allowance recorded in 2012 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, 2011 filed February 24, 2012. We expect the 2012 full year tax rate to be approximately 28% to 32%, assuming an average gold price of $1,500 per ounce for the remainder of the year.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $113 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $156 in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau, partially offset by increased earnings at Yanacocha.

Loss from discontinued operations includes an additional charge for the Holt property royalty. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $71 charge, net of tax benefits of $4, to reflect an increase in future expected production at the Holt property due to new reserve and resource estimates published by St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. and an increase in the current spot gold price. Due to the nature of the sliding scale royalty calculation, changes in expected production and the gold price may have a significant impact on the fair value of the liability.

First quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Consolidated gold ounces produced decreased 2% due to lower production from lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau and a scheduled mill shutdown at Waihi in Other Australia/New Zealand, partly offset by higher mill throughput, grade and recovery at Yanacocha. Consolidated copper pounds produced decreased 42% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 11% due to lower production from Batu Hijau, Other Australia/New Zealand and Africa, partly offset by higher production at Yanacocha. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 78% due to lower production at Batu Hijau.

Amortization per consolidated gold ounce sold decreased 7% due to an inventory build-up at Nevada and Yanacocha compared to an in-process drawdown at Nevada in 2011. Amortization per consolidated copper pound sold increased 52% due to lower production at Batu Hijau.

We continue to expect 2012 gold production of approximately 5.0 to 5.2 million ounces attributable to Newmont at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $625 to $675 and 2012 copper production of approximately 150 to 170 million pounds attributable to Newmont at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of approximately $1.80 to $2.20.

First quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Nevada, USA. Gold production was consistent with the prior year quarter due to higher surface ore grade mined as Gold Quarry was back into production offset by lower underground ore grade mined at Leeville and Midas. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 4% as higher underground mining and milling costs were more than offset by an inventory build in 2012 compared to a drawdown of inventory in 2011. Amortization per ounce decreased 29% due to the inventory changes.

La Herradura, Mexico . Gold ounces produced increased 10% due to higher leach placement at Soledad-Dipolos and first production from Noche Buena. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 49% due to higher employee profit sharing costs and Noche Buena commencing production.

We continue to expect gold production in North America of approximately 1.9 to 2.0 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $570 to $630 in 2012.

First quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Boddington, Australia. Gold ounces and copper pounds produced were consistent with the prior year quarter as 17% higher throughput was offset by 15% lower grade and 2% lower recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 31% due to processing lower grade ore, higher milling and mining costs, a higher proportion of costs allocated to gold and a stronger Australian dollar. Costs applicable to sales per pound decreased 11% mainly due to lower costs allocated to copper. Amortization per ounce increased 9% due to additional equipment. Amortization per pound decreased 25% due to lower costs allocated to copper.

Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Copper pounds and gold ounces produced decreased 49% and 76%, respectively, due to lower throughput, grade and recovery as a result of processing lower grade stockpiled material as Phase 6 stripping continues. Costs applicable to sales per pound and per ounce increased 108% and 184%, respectively, due to lower production, higher labor and diesel costs and increased waste stripping costs. Amortization per pound and per ounce increased 71% and 137%, respectively, due to lower production.

Other Australia/New Zealand . Gold ounces produced decreased 11% due to a planned mill shutdown at Waihi, mill maintenance at Kalgoorlie and a build-up of in-process inventory at Jundee and Kalgoorlie, partly offset by higher grade at Tanami. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 35% primarily due to lower production, a stronger Australian dollar, lower by-product credits and higher diesel and royalty costs. Amortization per ounce increased 21% due to higher equipment and mine development expenditures.

Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations increased Asia Pacific Costs applicable to sales per ounce by approximately $28, net of hedging gains, for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

We continue to expect attributable gold production for Asia Pacific of approximately 1.8 to 1.9 million ounces at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $800 to $850 in 2012. We expect attributable copper production for Asia Pacific to be approximately 150 to 170 million pounds at consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of approximately $1.80 to $2.20 in 2012.

First quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold ounces produced decreased 6% due to lower mill throughput and grade, partly offset by higher recovery and a reduction of in-process inventory. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 26% due to lower production and higher labor, diesel and royalty costs. Amortization per ounce increased 16% due to mine development expenditures and lower production.

We continue to expect gold production in Africa of approximately 570,000 to 600,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $500 to $550 in 2012.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 43% and 39% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, 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 $7, net of hedging gains and losses, during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Provided from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from continuing operations was $613 in the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of $376 from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to lower cash flow from Batu Hijau. Working capital increased by $377 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 due to increases in inventory and stockpiles in 2012 and a decrease in accounts receivable in 2011 related to the collection of Batu Hijau fourth quarter 2010 copper and gold concentrate sales, partially offset by increased revenue from higher realized gold prices as discussed above in Consolidated Financial Results .

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $855 during the first quarter of 2012 compared to $418 during the same period of 2011, due largely to increased capital spending at Conga, Akyem, Nevada and Yanacocha and increased investments in marketable securities. Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Capital expenditures in North America during the first quarter of 2012 were primarily related to development of the Emigrant leach project, surface mine development, Noche Buena leach project in Mexico and other equipment purchases and infrastructure improvements in Nevada. Capital expenditures in South America were primarily related to Conga project development and Yanacocha leach pad development, surface mine development and equipment purchases. The majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific were for surface and underground development, mining equipment and infrastructure improvements. Capital expenditures in Africa were primarily related to Akyem development and the Subika expansion project at Ahafo. We continue to expect 2012 consolidated capital expenditures to be approximately $4,000 to $4,300 ($3,000 to $3,300 attributable to Newmont). This assumes the development of the Conga project in Peru proceeds as anticipated in connection with our original 2012 outlook provided to the market in January 2012. We will reevaluate future capital expenditures after the development schedule of Conga is more clearly defined.

Capital expenditures in North America during the first quarter of 2011 were primarily related to development at the Turf/Leeville and Exodus underground projects in Nevada, infrastructure at the Hope Bay project in Canada and sustaining mine development. Capital expenditures in South America were primarily related to Conga project development and leach pad and surface mine development at Yanacocha. The majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific were for surface and underground development, mining equipment, tailings facility construction and infrastructure improvements. Capital expenditures in Africa were primarily related to Akyem development and the Subika expansion project at Ahafo.

Purchases of marketable securities. During the first quarter of 2012 we purchased corporate marketable debt securities of $143 (short-term $55 and long-term $88). During the first quarter of 2011, we purchased marketable equity securities of $12.

Acquisitions, net. During the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, we paid $11 and $7, respectively, of contingent payments in accordance with the 2009 Boddington acquisition agreement.

Proceeds from sale of other assets. During the first quarter of 2012, we received $12 from the sale of land and other assets. During the first quarter of 2011 we received $6 primarily from the sale of investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided from (used in) financing activities was $1,094 and $(117) during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Proceeds from and repayment of debt. During the first quarter of 2012, we received net proceeds from debt of $3,346, including $1,246 under our revolving credit facility, $1,479 from the issuance of senior notes due in 2022 and $983 from the issuance of senior notes due in 2042. Proceeds from the issuance of debt were partially offset by the settlement of forward starting interest rate swaps of $362, repayment of $1,285 under our revolving credit facility, $517 for repayment of the 2012 Convertible Senior Notes and $105 related to exercising the early purchase option related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant in Nevada (classified as a capital lease). At March 31, 2012, $403 of the $2,500 revolving credit facility was used to secure the issuance of letters of credit, primarily supporting reclamation obligations (see “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below). During the first quarter of 2011, we repaid $31 of debt, including scheduled debt repayments of $30 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant (classified as a capital lease).

Scheduled minimum debt repayments are $69 for the remainder of 2012, $10 in 2013, $527 in 2014, $10 in 2015, $10 in 2016 and $5,524 thereafter. We expect to be able to fund debt maturities and capital expenditures from Net cash provided by operating activities , short-term investments, existing cash balances and available credit facilities.

At March 31, 2012 and 2011, we were in compliance with all required debt covenants and other restrictions related to debt agreements.

Payment of conversion premium on debt. In February 2012, we elected to pay a conversion premium of $172 upon repayment of the 2012 Convertible Senior Notes in lieu of issuing common shares.

Dividends paid to common stockholders. We declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $0.35 and $0.15 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, declared regular quarterly dividends on its exchangeable shares totaling C$0.35 per share through March 31, 2012 and C$0.1489 through March 31, 2011. We paid dividends of $173 and $74 to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests. During the first quarter of 2011, we paid $15 for Indonesian withholding taxes related to dividends paid to noncontrolling interests in December 2010.

Proceeds from stock issuance. We received proceeds of $2 and $3 during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, from the issuance of common stock.

Discontinued Operations

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $4 in the first quarter of 2012 relates to payments on the Holt property royalty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements: operating leases (as discussed in Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed on February 24, 2012) and $1,482 of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees (see Note 25 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

We also have sales agreements to sell copper and gold concentrates at market prices as follows (in thousands of tons):

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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,136 and $1,070, 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, $197 and $170 were accrued for such obligations at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We spent $22 and $2 during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities and have classified $23 as a current liability at March 31, 2012.

During the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, capital expenditures were approximately $41 and $21, 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 25 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Developments

For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 2 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:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders	$	490		$	514
Discontinued operations (income) loss		71			—

Adjusted net income per share, basic	$	1.17		$	1.04
Adjusted net income per share, diluted	$	1.15		$	1.02

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.

Operating margin per ounce/pound

Operating margin per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by subtracting the costs applicable to sales per ounce of gold and per pound of copper from the average realized gold price per ounce and copper price per pound, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Operating margin 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. Operating margin per ounce/pound is calculated as follows:

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 March 31, 2012:


	Expected Maturity Date

The fair value of the A$ foreign currency operating derivative contracts was a net asset position of $226 and $223 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the NZ$ foreign currency derivative contracts was a net asset position of $3 and $1 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the A$ capital foreign currency contracts was a net asset position and net liability position of $2 and $1 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Diesel Price Risk

We had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2012:


	Expected Maturity Date
	2012			2013			2014			2015			Total Average
Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts:
Diesel gallons (millions)		20			14			6			1			41
Average rate ($/gallon)		2.89			2.94			2.91			3			2.90
Expected hedge ratio		60	%		32	%		14	%		5	%

The fair value of the diesel derivative contracts was a net asset of $11 and $1 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Forward Starting Swap Contracts

During 2011, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2,000. These contracts hedged movements in treasury rates related to a debt issuance that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. On March 8, 2012, we closed its sale of $2,500 senior notes consisting of 3.5% senior notes due 2022 in the principal amount of $1,500 (10-year notes), and 4.875% senior notes due 2042 in the principal amount of $1,000 (30-year notes). As a result of the debt issued, the forward-starting interest rate swaps were settled. The total settlement amount of these swaps was $362, of which $349 represents the effective portion of the hedging instrument included in Accumulated other comprehensive income . The net proceeds from the debt issuance were adjusted by the settlement amount of the swap contracts and included as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Risk

During the first quarter of 2011, we had $222 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against our 8 5/8% debentures due 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.

LME copper prices averaged $3.77 per pound during the first quarter of 2012, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $3.75 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. During the first quarter of 2012, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $31 ($0.53 per pound). At March 31, 2012, we had copper sales of 58 million pounds priced at an average of $3.83 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 $2 effect on our Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders .

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,691 per ounce during the first quarter of 2012, consistent with our recorded average provisional price before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. During the first quarter of 2012, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $6 ($4 per ounce). At March 31, 2012, we had gold sales of 95,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,663 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $25 change in the price for provisionally priced gold sales would have an approximate $1 effect on our Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders .

MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

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 safe and healthy environment and are intended 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 established our “Rapid Response” process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident 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, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing 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 or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.
