NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

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

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim 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. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature except as discussed below. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through July 22, 2009 (see Note 29). 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 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed June 8, 2009. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Certain amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and at December 31, 2008 have been revised. The Company retrospectively adopted FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”), which requires an allocation of convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component) (see Note 2). Additionally, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”), which requires the noncontrolling interests to be classified as a separate component of net income and stockholders’ equity. The Company has also reclassified the historical balance sheet, income statement and the cash flow amounts for the Kori Kollo operation in Bolivia to discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for all periods presented.

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

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The statement sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 165 for the interim period ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Post-Retirement Benefit Plan

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Post-Retirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”), which amends FASB Statement No. 132 “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits” (“FAS 132”), to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plan. The objective of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 is to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 on January 1, 2009. The provisions of this FSP are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes.

Equity Method Investment

In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached consensus on Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (“EITF 08-6”), which clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The intent of EITF 08-6 is to provide guidance on (i) determining the initial measurement of an equity method investment, (ii) recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of an equity method investment and (iii) accounting for an equity method investee’s issuance of shares. EITF 08-6 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and has been applied prospectively. The adoption of EITF 08-6 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Equity-Linked Financial Instruments

In June 2008, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”). EITF 07-5 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 07-5 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1. FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FAS 133. FSP APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP APB 14-1 be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This requires an allocation of convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component is reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instrument’s expected life using the effective interest method. FSP APB 14-1 requires retrospective application to all periods presented.

During July 2007, the Company completed an offering of $1,150 convertible senior notes due 2014 and 2017, each in the amount of $575. The 2014 notes, maturing on July 15, 2014, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.25% per annum, and the 2017 notes, maturing on July 15, 2017, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.625% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.21 per share of common stock (24,887,956 shares of common stock). In connection with the convertible senior notes offering, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions (“Call Spread Transactions”). The Call Spread Transactions included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $46.21 was effectively increased to $60.27. As of June 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amounts.

During February 2009, the Company completed an offering of $518 convertible senior notes due on February 15, 2012. The notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 3.00% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.25 per share of common stock (11,189,189 shares of common stock). As of June 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amount.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

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

The Company has recorded the following in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the convertible senior notes:

	At June 30, 2009									At December 31, 2008
	Convertible Senior Notes Due									Convertible Senior Notes Due
	2012			2014			2017			2012		2014			2017

Net carrying amount	$	452		$	458		$	409		$	—	$	448		$	401

As a result of adopting FSP APB 14-1, the effective interest rates increased by approximately 5 percentage points to 8.5%, 6.0% and 6.25% for the 2012, 2014 and 2017 notes, respectively, for the non-cash amortization of the debt discount over the lives of the notes.Interest expensewas increased by $8 which decreased the Company’sIncome from continuing operationsandNet incomeby $6 ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2008.Interest expensewas increased by $16 which decreased the Company’sIncome from continuing operationsandNet incomeby $11 ($0.02 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Had FSP APB 14-1 been effective in 2008, the Company would have paid its fourth quarter 2008 dividends out ofAdditional paid-in capitalrather thanRetained earnings; therefore the Company made the reclassification in 2009. Cash flows from operations were not impacted by the adoption of FSP APB 14-1. The impact on the Company’s 2009 opening balance inRetained earningswas as follows:

	At December 31,
	2008
Balance before application of FSP APB 14-1	$	7
Impact of adoption of FSP APB 14-1		(31	)
Reclassification of dividends toAdditional paid-in capital		28
Balance after application of FSP APB 14-1	$	4

Following adoption and the issuance of the 2012 convertible senior notes in February 2009, the Company will amortize $375 ($244 net of tax) of debt discount over the lives of the Company’s convertible senior notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $8 and $15 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $14 and $26 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. The remaining unamortized debt discount will be amortized over the remaining 3, 5 and 8 year periods of the 2012, 2014 and 2017 convertible senior notes, respectively.

Accounting for the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”) which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”). FSP FAS 142-3 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and has been applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Derivative Instruments

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 161 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 16 for the Company’s derivative instruments disclosure.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 141(R) which replaces FAS 141, and provides new guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. FAS 141(R) also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009 and applied them to the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”), which amends and clarifies FAS 141(R). The intent of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 is to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This FSP is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 did not have any impact on the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).

Noncontrolling Interests

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (“noncontrolling interest”), (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. If a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income based on such fair value. For presentation and disclosure purposes, FAS 160 requires noncontrolling interests to be classified as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 160 on January 1, 2009. Except for presentation changes, the adoption of FAS 160 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of FAS 157 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position No. 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 for the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on January 1, 2009. Refer to Note 15 for further details regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”), which provides additional guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly. In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), which: i) clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other than temporarily impaired, ii) provides guidance on the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings and other comprehensive income and iii) expands the disclosures required for other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. Also in April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. Adoption of these Staff Positions is required for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning April 1, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 for the interim period ended March 31, 2009. Refer to Note 15 for further details regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codificationand the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“FAS 168” or “the Codification”). FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will supersede all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. FAS 168 is effective for the Company’s interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“FAS 167”), which requires an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the following characteristics: i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. FAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The provisions of FAS 167 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The Company currently accounts for Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) as a VIE and is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

At June 30, 2009, there was $25 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 198,057 and 3,855 shares of restricted stock units, respectively, were granted at the weighted average fair market value of $40 and $49, respectively per underlying share of the Company’s common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 490,273 and 8,927 shares of restricted stock units, respectively, were granted, at the weighted-average fair market value of $42 and $49, respectively, per underlying share of the Company’s common stock.

No deferred stock awards were granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, 393,533 deferred stock awards were granted at the weighted-average fair market value of $44 per underlying share of the Company’s common stock.

No restricted stock awards were granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, 6,743 and 114,663 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were granted and issued, at the weighted-average fair market value of $44 and $48, respectively, per underlying share of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES

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 has paid the 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 June 30, 2009, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $173 for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. Of this, $140 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. Also included in the balance at June 30, 2009 are $6 of tax positions that, due to the impact of deferred tax accounting, the disallowance of which would not affect the annual effective tax rate.

As a result of (i) statute of limitations that will begin to expire within the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and (ii) possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $13 to $37 in the next 12 months.

Newmont currently has a 45% ownership interest in Batu Hijau, held through NTP with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan (“Sumitomo”). Newmont has a 56.25% interest in NTP and the Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), the Indonesian subsidiary that operates the Batu Hijau mine. Newmont identified NTP as a Variable Interest Entity as a result of certain capital structures and contractual relationships and has fully consolidated Batu Hijau in its consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2004. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company. NTP’s interest in PTNNT is the subject of an international arbitration proceeding and a final award concerning PTNNT’s interest was issued by the arbitration panel on March 31, 2009. For further information concerning the arbitral award, see Note 27.

Newmont has a 51.35% ownership interest in Yanacocha with the remaining interests held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the International Finance Corporation (5%).

In April 2008, the Company purchased 15,960 additional shares of European Gold Refineries SA joint venture (“EGR”) for $11 in cash increasing its ownership interest to 56.67% from 46.72%. Swiss residents and Mitsubishi International Corporation hold the remaining 43.33%. The acquisition of the additional interest resulted in the consolidation of EGR. In November 2008, EGR repurchased 6.55% of its own shares from a minority shareholder bringing Newmont’s ownership to 60.64%. Prior to consolidation, the Company accounted for EGR using the equity method of accounting.

NOTE 11 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 the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

In February 2009, the Company completed a public offering of 34,500,000 shares of common stock at $37 per share for net proceeds of $1,234.

Options to purchase 5.2 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $46 and $55 were outstanding at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares because the exercise prices of the options exceeded the price of the common stock.

In July 2007 and February 2009, Newmont issued $1,150 and $518, respectively, of convertible notes that, if converted in the future, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. Under the indenture for the convertible notes, upon conversion Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (stock price in excess of the conversion price) in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with the FASB’s EITF Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share.” Under the net share settlement method, the Company includes the amount of shares it would take to satisfy the conversion obligation, assuming that all of the convertible notes are surrendered. The average closing price of the Company’s common stock for each of the periods presented is used as the basis for determining dilution. The average price of the Company’s common stock for all periods presented did not exceed the conversion price of $46.25 and $46.21 for the notes issued in 2009 and 2007, respectively, and therefore, did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.

In connection with the 2007 convertible senior notes offering, the Company entered into Call Spread Transactions. These transactions included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $46.21 was effectively increased to $60.27. Should the warrant transactions become dilutive to the Company’s earnings per share (i.e. Newmont’s share price exceeds $60.27) the underlying shares will be included in the computation of diluted income per common share.

NOTE 14 ACQUISITIONS

On June 25, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (“AngloGold”). The valuation date for the transaction is January 1, 2009, and closing adjustments were made to reflect Newmont’s economic ownership from that date. Consideration for the acquisition consists of $750 less an $8 closing adjustment paid in cash at closing, $240 payable in cash and/or Newmont common stock, at the Company’s option, in December 2009, and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue lessCosts applicable to saleson a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable quarterly on one-third of gold sales from Boddington.

The following table summarizes the consideration to acquire the remaining interest in Boddington:

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

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

The Company estimates that the value of the contingent consideration is approximately $62, and has recognized this amount as part of the purchase price at the acquisition date. Amounts are payable under the contingent royalty beginning in the second quarter of 2010. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could pay is between $0 and $100. The fair value of the contingent royalty recognized was estimated by applying the income approach. See Note 15 for a description of the key inputs used in deriving fair value.

In connection with the acquisition, Newmont incurred transaction costs of $67 (shown inOther expense, net), including Australian stamp duties. $8 of these costs were paid during the first quarter of 2009. Additionally, in June 2009, Newmont paid $182 to reimburse AngloGold for its share of capital and other expenditures of the project from January 1, 2009 to June 25, 2009. The reimbursement of capital expenditures is included inProperty, plant and mine development, net, and asAdditions to property, plant and mine developmenton the cash flow statement.

The purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

NOTE 15 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

FAS 157 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 under FAS 157 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 FAS 157, 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 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 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 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 other marketable debt securities include investments in asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities. In January 2009, the investments in the Company’s asset backed commercial paper were restructured under court order. The restructuring allowed a return of a portion of the investment and interest distribution to be made to investors. 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 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. The asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales is valued using quoted market prices based on the forward London Metal Exchange (“LME”) (copper) and the London Bullion Market Association P.M. fix (“London P.M. fix”) (gold) 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. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. 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 has fixed to floating swap contracts to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk exposure of its8 5/8% uncollateralized debentures due May 2011. The hedged portion of the Company’s 8 5/8% debentures are valued using pricing models which require inputs, including risk-free interest rates and credit spreads. Because the inputs are derived from observable market data, the hedged portion of the 8 5/8% debentures is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has recorded a contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington (Note 14). The value of the contingent consideration was determined using a valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales to estimate fair value. The contingent consideration 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 six months ended June 30, 2009.

Unrealized losses of $2 for the period were included inAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss)as a result of changes in C$ exchange rates from December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009, the assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent 2% and 39% of the total assets and liabilities measured at fair value, respectively.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis within the fair value hierarchy:

	Fair Value at June 30, 2009								Total
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Losses
Long-lived assets held for sale (Note 9)	$	39	$	—	$	39	$	—	$	44

Long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $83 were written down to their fair value of $39, resulting in a loss of $44. The Company expects to realize an income tax benefit of $30 related to the sale of these assets.

NOTE 16 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain financial and market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange risk, diesel price risk, and interest rate risk. In accordance with FAS 133, the Company designated currency fixed forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges, diesel forward contracts as cash flow hedges, and interest rate swap contracts as fair value hedges of a fixed-rate borrowing. All of the derivative instruments were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as hedging instruments under FAS 133. The maximum period over which hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur is three years.

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts

Newmont entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in currency rates. Newmont entered into IDR/$ forward purchase contracts to hedge up to 80% of the Company’s IDR denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended IDR/$ rate realized each period. The hedges are forward purchase contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period IDR/$ rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts had no impact on Batu HijauCosts applicable to sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts increased Batu HijauCosts applicable to sales by $2 and reduced Batu HijauCosts applicable to salesby $1, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 45% of its expected remaining 2009 IDR operating expenditures.

Newmont implemented a multi-year layered program to hedge up to 85% of the Company’s A$ denominated operating expenditures with forward contracts that have expiration dates ranging up to three years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ rates. Each month, fixed forward contracts are obtained to hedge 1/36^th of the forecasted monthly A$ operating cost exposure in the rolling three-year hedge period resulting in a blended $/A$ rate realized. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to sales by $9 and reduced Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $4, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $25 and reduced Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $5, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 77% of its expected remaining 2009 A$ operating expenditures, and 53%, 27% and 7% of its expected 2010, 2011 and 2012 A$ operating expenditures, respectively.

Newmont implemented a multi-year layered program to hedge up to 75% of the Company’s NZ$ denominated operating expenditures with forward contracts that have expiration dates ranging up to two years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/NZ$ rates. Each month, fixed forward contracts are obtained to hedge 1/24^th of the forecasted monthly NZ$ operating cost exposure in the rolling two-year hedge period resulting in a blended $/NZ$ rate realized. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the NZ$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to sales by $1 and $nil, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the NZ$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $3 and $nil, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 63% of its expected remaining 2009 NZ$ operating expenditures, and 32% and 7% of its expected 2010 and 2011 NZ$ operating expenditures, respectively.

Newmont implemented a program to hedge up to 95% of the Company’s A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of Boddington. The program consists of a series of fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year from the date of issue. The realized gains and losses associated with the capital expenditure hedge program will impactAmortization during future periods in which the Boddington assets are placed into service. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 83% of its expected remaining A$ denominated Boddington capital expenditures.

All of the foreign currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded inAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss)and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

At June 30, 2009, Newmont had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of its 8 5/8% debentures. The interest rate swap contracts were transacted to provide balance to the Company’s mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Under the hedge contract terms, the Company receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as fair value hedges, and as such, changes in fair value have been recorded in income in each period, consistent with recording changes to the mark-to-market value of the underlying hedged liability in income. Changes in the mark-to-market value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as a component ofInterest expense, net.The hedge contracts decreasedInterest expense, netby $1 and $1 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and decreasedInterest expense, netby $2 and $1 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The unrealized loss of $13 and $11 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, relate to the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities, auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper as listed in the tables above. While the fair values of these investments are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. Generally, the Company’s policy is to treat a decline in a marketable equity security’s quoted market value that has lasted continuously for more than six months as an other-than-temporary decline in value. The fair values of these marketable equity securities have not been continuously below cost for the past six months. 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 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s reportable segments are based upon the Company’s management organization structure that is focused on the geographic region for the company’s operations. Segment results for 2008 have been retrospectively revised to reflect an organizational change, effective in the first quarter of 2009, that (i) moved the results of the La Herradura operation in Mexico to North America from Other and (ii) combined the management of exploration and advanced projects activities under one executive and assigned the legacy exploration segment to the regional reportable segments. As a result of management’s decision to dispose of the Kori Kollo operation in Bolivia, Kori Kollo has been reclassified to discontinued operations.

Financial information relating to Newmont’s segments is as follows:

NOTE 27 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company follows FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies other than tax contingencies provided for in accordance with FIN 48 (see Note 8). 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 25. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 27 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Nevada Operations matters under Newmont USA Limited relate to the North America reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Limited matter relates to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The PTNNT matters relate to the Asia Pacific 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $619 and $594, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to mineral properties in accordance with FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The current portions of $55 and $58 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are included inOther 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, $157 and $163 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These amounts are included inOther current liabilitiesandReclamation 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 131% greater or 8% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2009. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded inOther expense, netin 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 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. However, the issue of whether the EPA’s current preferred remedy is consistent with the National Contingency Plan has not yet come before the Court.

Newmont intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter and cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this lawsuit or the likelihood of any other action against Dawn or Newmont arising from this matter.

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 Capital Limited (“Newmont Capital”) — 100% Newmont Owned

In February 1999, the EPA placed the Lava Cap mine site in Nevada County, California on the National Priorities List under CERCLA. The EPA then initiated a RI/FS under CERCLA to determine environmental conditions and remediation options at the site.

Newmont Capital, formerly known as Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation, Inc., owned the property for approximately three years from 1984 to 1986 but never mined or conducted exploration at the site. The EPA asserts that Newmont Capital is responsible for clean up costs incurred at the site. Newmont Capital and the EPA entered into a consent decree to settle all aspects of this matter except future potential Natural Resource Damage claims. In February 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California approved the consent decree and the settlement was completed.

Newmont USA Limited — 100% Newmont Owned

Pinal Creek.Newmont is a defendant in a lawsuit brought on November 5, 1991 in U.S. District Court in Arizona by the Pinal Creek Group, alleging that Newmont and others are responsible for some portion of costs incurred to address groundwater contamination emanating from copper mining operations located in the area of Globe and Miami, Arizona. Two former subsidiaries of Newmont, Pinto Valley Copper Corporation and Magma Copper Company (now known as BHP Copper Inc.) owned some of the mines in the area between 1983 and 1987. The court has dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking to hold Newmont liable for the acts or omissions of its former subsidiaries. Newmont believes it has strong defenses to plaintiffs’ remaining claims, including, without limitation that Newmont’s agents did not participate in any pollution causing activities; that Newmont’s liabilities, if any, were contractually transferred to one of the plaintiffs; that portions of plaintiffs’ claimed damages are not recoverable; and that Newmont’s equitable share of liability, if any, would be immaterial. While Newmont has denied liability and is vigorously defending these claims, it cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.

Grass Valley. On February 3, 2004, the City of Grass Valley, California brought suit against Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This matter involves an abandoned mine adit on property previously owned by a predecessor of Newmont and currently owned by the City of Grass Valley. The complaint alleges that the adit is discharging metals-bearing water into a stream on the property, in concentrations in excess of current EPA drinking water standards. On February 4, 2009, this matter was fully resolved by settlement. Pursuant to the settlement, Newmont has agreed to manage the water discharge on an ongoing basis.

Gray 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 does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the site, and 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

In July 2004, a criminal complaint was filed against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, alleging environmental pollution relating to submarine tailings placement into nearby Buyat Bay. The Indonesian police detained five PTNMR employees during September and October of 2004. The police investigation and the detention of PTNMR’s employees was declared illegal by the South Jakarta District Court in December 2004, but in March 2005, the Indonesian Supreme Court upheld the legality of the police investigation, and the police turned their evidence over to the local prosecutor. In July 2005, the prosecutor filed an indictment against PTNMR and its President Director, alleging environmental pollution at Buyat Bay. After the court rejected motions to dismiss the proceeding, the trial proceeded and all evidence, including that of the defense, was presented in court by September 2006. In November 2006 the prosecution filed its charge, seeking a three-year jail sentence for PTNMR’s President Director plus a nominal fine. In addition, the prosecution recommended a nominal fine against PTNMR. The defense filed responses in January 2007, and final briefing was completed in March 2007. On April 24, 2007, the court entered its verdict acquitting PTNMR and its President Director of all charges. In May 2007, the prosecution appealed the decision of the court to the Indonesian Supreme Court, despite Indonesian laws that prohibit the appeal of a verdict of acquittal. In October 2008, a panel of Supreme Court justices was assigned to consider the appeal. In April 2009, the Indonesian Supreme Court summarily dismissed the appeal of the prosecutor related to PTNMR and its President Director.

In addition, on March 22, 2007, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (“WALHI”) filed a civil suit against PTNMR and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Ministry for the Environment, alleging pollution from the disposal of mine 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 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.

Yanacocha, various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newmont, and other defendants have been named in lawsuits filed by approximately 1,100 Peruvian citizens in Denver District Court for the State of Colorado. These actions seek compensatory damages based on claims associated with the elemental mercury spill incident. The parties in these cases agreed to submit these matters to binding arbitration. In October 2007, the parties to the arbitration entered a court-approved settlement agreement, resolving most of these cases. In April 2009, all remaining matters were settled.

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 should 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. Neither Newmont nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

Conga.Yanacocha is involved in a dispute with the Provincial Municipality of Celendin regarding the authority of that governmental body to regulate the development of the Conga project. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Municipality of Celendin enacted an ordinance declaring the area around Conga to be a mining-free reserve and naturally protected area. Yanacocha challenged this ordinance by means of two legal actions, one filed by Yanacocha (as the lease holder of the Conga mining concessions) and one filed by Minera Chaupiloma (as the titleholder of the Conga mining concessions). In August 2007, a Peruvian Court of first instance upheld Chaupiloma’s claim, stating that the Municipality of Celendin lacks the authority to create natural protected areas. The Municipality of Celendin has not appealed the ruling. In July 2008, a Peruvian Court of first instance dismissed Yanacocha’s claim as groundless. Yanacocha appealed the ruling to the appellate Court in Lima, and in January 2009, the appellate Court in Lima reversed the lower Court ruling and upheld Yanacocha’s claim.

Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Ltd (“NYOL”) — 100% Newmont Owned

On September 3, 2003, J. Aron & Co. commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Australia) against NYOL, its subsidiaries and the administrator in relation to the completed voluntary administration of the NYOL group. J. Aron & Co., a NYOL creditor, initially sought injunctive relief that was denied by the court on September 8, 2003. On October 30, 2003, J. Aron & Co. filed a statement of claim alleging various deficiencies in the implementation of the voluntary administration process and seeking damages and other relief against NYOL and other parties. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.

PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) — 45% Newmont Owned

Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares must 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, has owned and continues to own a 20% interest in PTNNT, in 2006 a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and in each of 2007 through 2010 an additional 7% interest must be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interest must 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. Pursuant to this provision, it is possible that the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT could be reduced to 49% or that subsequent disputes could arise concerning the divestiture of the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT.

Initial arbitration matter

PTPI has owned and continues to own a 20% interest in PTNNT, and therefore the Newmont-Sumitomo partnership was required to offer a 3% interest in PTNNT for sale in 2006 and an additional 7% interest in each of 2007 through 2010. 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 and 2008. A further 7% interest in the shares of PTNNT was offered for sale in March 2009. 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. In January 2008, the Newmont-Sumitomo partnership agreed to sell, under a carried interest arrangement, 2% of PTNNT’s shares to Kabupaten Sumbawa, one of the local governments, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. The Indonesian government subsequently stated that it would not approve the transfer of shares under this agreement. On February 11, 2008, PTNNT received notification from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources (“DEMR”) alleging that PTNNT is in breach of its divestiture requirements under the Contract of Work, and threatening to issue a notice to terminate the Contract of Work if PTNNT did not agree to divest the 2006 and 2007 shares, in accordance with the direction of the DEMR, by February 22, 2008, which date was extended to March 3, 2008. A second Notice of Default was received relating to the alleged failure to divest the 2008 shares as well. 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 is 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 is 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.

Second arbitration matter

In 1997, to enable development of the Batu Hijau mine, PTNNT secured an aggregate $1,000 in financing from the United States Export-Import Bank, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (formerly the Japan Export-Import Bank), and Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (the German Export-Import Bank) (collectively, the “Senior Lenders”). The Senior Lenders required the shareholders of PTNNT to pledge 100% of the shares of PTNNT as security for repayment of the loans. As part of that process, on October 30, 1997, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources approved the share pledge arrangements.

Subsequent to an additional 7% interest in PTNNT being offered by NTP for sale on March 28, 2008 (as required under the Contract of Work), the Director General of Mineral, Coal and Geothermal Resources at DEMR claimed that PTNNT breached its obligations under the Contract of Work by allowing shares to be offered for sale that are pledged to the Senior Lenders as security for the repayment of the senior debt. In the letter, the Director General claimed that NTP would be in default under the Contract of Work if the shares of PTNNT offered for sale in March 2008, together with the shares offered in 2006 and 2007, were not in the possession of “Indonesian government and/or government owned entities,” free of any such senior pledge, by July 13, 2008. Consequently, on July 10, 2008, PTNNT filed a notice to commence an additional international arbitration proceeding, as provided for under the Contract of Work, to resolve the claim that PTNNT breached its obligations under the Contract of Work by allowing shares to be offered that are subject to pledge obligations to the Senior Lenders. This issue was incorporated into and resolved as part of the initial arbitration proceeding.

An international arbitration panel was appointed to resolve these claims and a hearing was held in Jakarta in December 2008. On March 31, 2009, the arbitration panel issued its Final Award and decision on the matter. In its decision, the arbitration 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 is not entitled to immediately terminate the Contract of Work and the panel rejected the Indonesian government’s claim for damages. The Arbitration Panel granted PTNNT 180 days from the date of notification of the Final Award to transfer the 2006 3% interest and the 2007 7% interest in PTNNT to the local governments or their respective nominees. The Arbitration Panel also applied a 180-day cure period to the 2008 7% interest, ruling that PTNNT must (within such 180-day period) offer the 2008 7% interest to the Indonesian government or its nominee, and transfer such shares if, after agreement on the transfer price, the Indonesian government invokes its right of first refusal under the Contract of Work. The panel ruled that shares offered to the Indonesian government pursuant to the Contract of Work must be offered free of any pledge or obligation to re-pledge the shares to the Senior Lenders. Finally, the Panel directed PTNNT to pay to the Indonesian government an allocated portion of certain legal fees and costs of the arbitration. PTNNT submitted payment of $2 for legal fees and costs. The Company also entered a formal agreement with the Senior Lenders under which the Senior Lenders released the pledge on the aggregated 31% of shares in PTNNT that are subject to divestiture requirements in exchange for the Company and Sumitomo agreeing to provide joint and several guarantees, thus allowing the Company to transfer these shares free of any pledge or obligation to re-pledge the shares to the lenders. 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 has reoffered the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest to the Indonesian government at this newly agreed price. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these discussions or the impact on such discussions of the Indonesian presidential elections held in July 2009. Subsequent disputes may arise concerning the divestiture of the shares including if the transfer is not completed to the satisfaction of the parties within the 180-day period described above.

The Company follows FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”), which provides guidance on the identification and reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. FIN 46(R) defines such entities as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). Newmont identified NTP, the partnership that owns an 80% interest in PTNNT, as a VIE due to certain capital structures and contractual relationships. As a result of the Company’s 56.25% ownership in NTP, the Company consolidates Batu Hijau, and will continue to consolidate Batu Hijau in its Consolidated Financial Statements as long as the Company continues to be the primary beneficiary of NTP and NTP controls PTNNT.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Tax contingencies are provided for under FIN 48 (see Note 8).

In a 1993 asset exchange, a wholly-owned subsidiary transferred a coal lease under which the subsidiary had collected advance royalty payments totaling $484. From 1994 to 2018, remaining advance payments under the lease to the transferee total $390. In the event of title failure as stated in the lease, this subsidiary has a primary obligation to refund previously collected payments and has a secondary obligation to refund any of the $390 collected by the transferee, if the transferee fails to meet its refund obligation. The subsidiary has title insurance on the leased coal deposits of $240 covering the secondary obligation. The Company and the subsidiary regard the circumstances entitling the lessee to a refund as remote.

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 $19 in 2009 through 2013 and $93 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were $851 and $778, 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. In addition, the surety markets for certain types of environmental bonding used by the Company have become increasingly constrained. The Company, however, 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 28 SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 9.0. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents income from continuing operations before income tax expense, equity loss of affiliates and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, 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.

NOTE 29 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 17, 2009, the Company sold its interest in Empresa Minera Inti Raymi (“Inti Raymi”) in Bolivia to Compania Procesadora de Minerales S.A., a company controlled by the Company’s long-time Bolivian partner. As part of the transaction, a reclamation trust fund will be established to pay for closure and reclamation costs when operations eventually cease. The buyer assumed all obligations of the operation and has agreed to pay Newmont a nominal royalty from future production. With the sale of Inti Raymi, Newmont has no remaining operations in Bolivia (see Note 9).

Consolidated Financial Results

Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the second quarter and first half of 2009 was $162, or $0.33 per share and $351, or 0.73 per share, respectively. Results for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 were impacted by higher realized gold prices, lower realized copper prices and higher sales volume. Results for the first half of 2009 compared to 2008 were impacted by lower realized gold and copper prices, lower gold sales volume, higher copper sales volume, lower Canadian Oil Sands Trust income, higher income taxes in 2009 and a discrete tax benefit in 2008.

Costs applicable to salesdecreased in the second quarter and first half of 2009 compared to the second quarter and first half of 2008, as detailed in the table below. The decrease inCosts applicable to salesin the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 is primarily due to lower waste tons mined, lower diesel prices and favorable U.S. dollar exchange rates, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower by-product credits. The decrease inCosts applicable to salesin the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008 is primarily due to lower waste tons mined, lower diesel prices, lower gold sales volume and favorable U.S. dollar exchange rates, partially offset by higher copper sales volume and lower by-product credits.

Explorationexpense decreased for the second quarter and first half of 2009 compared to the second quarter and first half of 2008 due to a reduced drilling program related to a more selective and strategic exploration program. We expect 2009Explorationexpense to be approximately $165 to $175.

Advanced projects, research and developmentexpense for the second quarter and first half of 2009 and 2008 is summarized as follows:

General and administrativeexpenses increased by $3 and $13, respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 2009 compared to the second quarter and first half of 2008, due to higher compensation, benefits and consulting fees. We expect 2009General and administrativeexpenses to be approximately $150 to $160.

In connection with the acquisition of the remaining interest in Boddington, we incurred costs of $67, including Australian stamp duties, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Community development and regional administration expenses relate to our social responsibility, external and government relations, and regional office costs which are not a direct cost of mine production. Workforce reduction expense includes costs related to global workforce reduction that impacted approximately 3% of our world wide workforce.

Other income, netfor the first quarter of 2009 and 2008 is summarized as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008

Canadian Oil Sands Trust income decreased $27 and $46 in the second quarter and first half of 2009, respectively, compared to the second quarter and first half of 2008 due to reduced distributions related to a significant decrease in oil prices. During the first half of 2009, we recognized impairments of marketable securities of $2 for Shore Gold, Inc. and $4 for other marketable securities. During the second quarter of 2008, we recognized impairments of marketable securities of $23 for Shore Gold Inc. and $11 for other marketable securities, resulting in total impairments of $32 for Shore Gold Inc., $13 for Gabriel Resources Ltd. and $11 for other marketable securities for the first half of 2008.

Interest expense, netdecreased by $12 for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 and decreased $8 for the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008 mainly due to higher capitalized interest, partially offset by additional interest on the convertible senior notes. We expect 2009Interest expense, netto be approximately $100 to $110.

Income tax expenseduring the second quarter of 2009 was $136 compared to a benefit of $42 during the second quarter of 2008, and $241 for the first half of 2009 compared to $187 for the first half of 2008. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2009 was 30% compared to a 14% benefit for the second quarter of 2008, and 29% for the first half of 2009 compared to 17% for the first half of 2008. The 44% increase from the 2008 second quarter and 12% increase from the first half of 2008 tax rates primarily relates to the reduction in income taxes in 2008 realized from the conversion of one of the Company’s non-US subsidiaries to a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes which gave rise to a significant capital loss allowing the Company to recover income taxes paid in prior years, offset by an increase in liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rates in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to U.S. percentage depletion. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed February 19, 2009. We expect the 2009 full year tax rate to be approximately 27% to 31%, assuming a gold price of $925 per ounce.

51

Net income attributable to Noncontrolling interestsincreased $76 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 as a result of increased earnings at Yanacocha and Batu Hijau, and decreased $28 in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008, as a result of lower earnings at Batu Hijau.

We expect consolidated gold sales of between 6.35 and 6.7 million ounces atCosts applicable to salesof between $400 and $440 per ounce. OurCosts applicable to salesforecast for 2009 now assumes an oil price of $70 per barrel and an Australian dollar exchange rate of 0.75 for the remainder of the year. OurCosts applicable to salesfor the year are expected to change by approximately $3 per ounce for every $10 change in the oil price and by approximately $3 per ounce for every $0.10 change in the Australian dollar exchange rate. We are actively hedging a portion of our North America diesel and Australian dollar cost exposure.

We continue to expect consolidated copper sales of approximately 460 to 510 million pounds in 2009 atCosts applicable to salesof approximately $0.50 to $0.65 per pound.

Nevada, USA.Gold ounces sold in Nevada decreased 25% in the second quarter of 2009 from 2008 due to lower leach tons placed and lower throughput and mill ore grade. Surface ore mined in the second quarter of 2009 decreased to 6.2 million tons, down from 9.2 million tons in the previous year quarter primarily due to mine sequencing at Gold Quarry. Underground ore mined in the second quarter of 2009 increased to 587,000 tons, up from 575,000 tons in the second quarter of 2008. This increase was due to 23% higher tons at Chukar and remnant mining at Carlin East, partially offset by 15% lower tons at Midas due to ground failure which curtailed production in March and April 2009. Underground ore grade decreased 7% in the second quarter of 2009 from 2008 primarily due to lower grade at Leeville. Second quarter ore milled was 5.9 million tons in 2009 compared to 6.1 million tons in 2008. Ore placed on leach pads in the second quarter of 2009 decreased 69% from the second quarter of 2008 to 1.7 million tons due mainly to mine sequencing at Gold Quarry and equipment availability.

Gold ounces sold increased 1% in the first half of 2009 compared to 2008, due to increased mill throughput, partially offset by lower mill ore grade.Costs applicable to salesper ounce decreased 16% primarily due to lower diesel prices and the weakening of the Australian dollar.

Tanami, Australia. Gold ounces sold decreased 7% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008, primarily due to lower mill ore grade, partially offset by higher mill throughput.Costs applicable to salesper ounce decreased 1% primarily due to lower diesel prices and the weakening of the Australian dollar, partially offset by higher royalty costs.

Gold ounces sold decreased 9% in the first half of 2009 compared to 2008 due to lower mill ore grade and throughput.Costs applicable to salesper ounce increased 4% due to lower production and higher royalty costs, partially offset by lower diesel prices and the weakening of the Australian dollar.

Kalgoorlie, Australia. Gold ounces sold increased 13% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 due to higher mill ore grade, throughput and recovery.Costs applicable to salesper ounce decreased 29% due to higher production, lower diesel prices and the weakening of the Australian dollar.

Gold ounces sold increased 11% in the first half of 2009 compared to 2008 due to higher mill ore grade, throughput and recovery.Costs applicable to salesper ounce decreased 24% due to higher production, lower diesel prices and the weakening of the Australian dollar.

Waihi, New Zealand. Gold ounces sold decreased 53% in the second quarter of 2009 from 2008 due to an electrical fire at the mill in May which suspended milling activities. Required repairs are expected to be completed in August allowing milling operations to resume.Costs applicable to salesper ounce were 32% higher due to lower production, partially offset by the weakening of the New Zealand dollar.

Gold ounces sold decreased 14% in the first half of 2009 from 2008 due to the suspension of milling operations.Costs applicable to salesper ounce were 5% lower primarily due to lower diesel prices and higher by-product credits and the weakening of the New Zealand dollar, partially offset by lower production and higher royalty costs.

Boddington, Australia.Development of the project was approximately 98% complete, as of June 30, 2009. The Company now expects total project costs, excluding capitalized interest, of between $2,800 and $2,900 on a 100% basis due to the later than expected start-up of milling operations.

Batu Hijau, Indonesia.Consolidated copper and gold sales at Batu Hijau increased 106% and 189%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2009 from 2008 due to higher throughput, grade and recoveries as a result of the mining sequence. The harder, lower grade stockpiled ore processed in 2008 resulted in significantly lower recoveries. During the second quarter of 2009, copper and gold production increased by 105% and 240%, respectively.

TotalCosts applicable to salesdecreased by $37 in the second quarter of 2009 from 2008 due to lower waste mining, lower diesel prices, lower labor costs and lower maintenance and parts costs.Costs applicable to salesper pound of copper and per ounce of gold decreased 71% and 56%, respectively, as a result of the higher production and lower costs.Costs applicable to salesper pound of copper and per ounce of gold were also impacted by a higher allocation of costs to gold due to the lower realized copper price.

Consolidated copper and gold sales at Batu Hijau increased 28% and 10%, respectively, in the first half of 2009 from 2008 due to higher throughput, grade and recoveries as a result of processing newly mined ore, partially offset by 2008 inventory sales. During the first half of 2009, copper and gold production increased by 49% and 57%, respectively.

TotalCosts applicable to salesdecreased by $115 in the first half of 2009 from 2008 due to lower waste mining, lower diesel prices, lower labor costs and lower maintenance and parts costs and mining more ore than processed material.Costs applicable to salesper pound of copper and per ounce of gold decreased 55% and 17%, respectively, as a result of higher production and lower costs.Costs applicable to salesper pound of copper and per ounce of gold were also impacted by a higher allocation of costs to gold due to the lower realized copper price.

We expect gold sales for the Asia Pacific operations of approximately 1.9 to 2.1 million ounces atCosts applicable to salesof approximately $435 to $475 per ounce in 2009, with Boddington coming on-line in the second half of the year. We expect 2009 copper sales for the Asia Pacific operations to be approximately 460 to 510 million pounds of copper atCosts applicable to salesof approximately $0.50 to $0.65 per pound. Unfavorable changes in the Australian dollar exchange rate could result in operating costs for the region outside of the expected range for the full year, as a significant portion of costs are Australian dollar denominated.Costs applicable to salesin Asia Pacific are expected to change by approximately $5 per ounce for every $0.10 move in the Australian dollar exchange rate.

We currently have a 45% ownership interest in the Batu Hijau mine, held through the Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan. We have a 56.25% interest in NTP and the Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), the Indonesian subsidiary that owns Batu Hijau. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company. We identified NTP as a VIE as a result of certain capital structures and contractual relationships and have fully consolidated NTP in the consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2004.

Under the Contract of Work issued to PTNNT by the Indonesian government, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares must be offered for sale to the Indonesian government or its nominee, 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. The price at which such interest must 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. In March 2008, the Indonesian government and PTNNT each instituted an arbitration proceeding to resolve a dispute concerning the divestiture of PTNNT shares. On March 31, 2009, the international arbitration panel issued a final award resolving the claims asserted. For further information related to the dispute and the international arbitration proceeding, including a description of the factual basis for the claims, and a description of the arbitration decision, refer to Note 27, Commitments and Contingencies. Pursuant to the arbitration decision and the terms of the Contract of Work, it is possible that the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT could be reduced to 49% or that subsequent disputes may arise concerning the divestiture of shares.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”), which provides guidance on the identification and reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. FIN 46(R) defines such entities as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). Newmont identified NTP, the partnership that owns an 80% interest in PTNNT, as a VIE due to certain capital structures and contractual relationships. As a result of the Company’s 56.25% ownership in NTP, the Company consolidates Batu Hijau, and will continue to consolidate Batu Hijau, in its Consolidated Financial Statements as long as the Company continues to be the primary beneficiary of NTP and NTP controls PTNNT.

In addition, we have, through PTNNT, been in discussions to extend our forest use permit (called a “Pinjam Pakai”) for over three years. In 2005, Indonesian governmental authorities reviewed the contractual requirements for extension of the Pinjam Pakai and determined that PTNNT met those requirements. This permit is a key requirement to continue to operate Batu Hijau efficiently, in addition to the ultimate life of the mine and recoverability of reserves. However, the permit extension has not been received as of the date of this report. The resulting delay has adversely impacted Batu Hijau, and may adversely impact future operating and financial results, including deferment or cancellation of future mine development and operations.

Gold ounces sold at Ahafo decreased 1% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 due to slightly lower mill recovery. Total tons mined increased to 15.2 million tons in the second quarter of 2009 from 14.4 million tons in the second quarter of 2008.

Costs applicable to salesper ounce increased 10% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 due to less mined waste used in the construction of assets, higher labor, parts and consumables costs, higher contracted services costs and higher power costs, partially offset by lower diesel prices.

Gold ounces sold at Ahafo increased 15% in the first half of 2009 compared to 2008 due to higher mill ore grade and a build in in-process inventory in 2008, partially offset by lower mill throughput and recovery. Total tons mined increased to 30.9 million tons in the first half of 2009 from 28.0 million tons in the first half of 2008.

Costs applicable to salesper ounce decreased 3% in the first half of 2009 compared to 2008 due to higher gold sales and lower diesel prices, partially offset by less mined waste used in the construction of assets, higher labor, contracted services, maintenance and power costs.

We continue to expect gold sales of approximately 500,000 to 525,000 ounces atCosts applicable to salesof approximately $425 to $450 per ounce in 2009.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 23% and 28%, of ourCosts applicable to saleswere paid in local currencies during the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Approximately 22% and 28% of ourCosts applicable to saleswere paid in local currencies during the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased consolidatedCosts applicable to salesper ounce by approximately $16 during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008 and by approximately $18 during the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Provided from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from continuing operationswas $886 for the first half of 2009 compared to $971 for the first half of 2008 due to lower realized gold and copper prices, lower gold sales volume partially offset by higher copper sales volume, lower Canadian Oil Sands Trust income, discrete tax benefits in 2008 and Ahafo development start-up revenue in 2008, as discussed above inConsolidated Financial Results, partially offset by income tax refunds received during the first half of 2009.

Capital expenditures in North America for the first half of 2009 primarily related to sustaining mine development at Nevada. Capital expenditures in South America primarily related to the Conga project, dewatering projects and leach pad development at Yanacocha. The vast majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific were for the Boddington project, (which includes 100% of expenditures for 2009) with other sustaining capital expenditures for mine development at Australia and equipment purchases at Batu Hijau. As of June 30, 2009, we have hedged 83% of our expected remaining Australian dollar denominated capital expenditures for 2009 at an average rate of 0.79. Capital expenditures in Africa primarily related to sustaining mine development at Ahafo. We now expect to spend $1,500 to $1,700 on consolidated capital expenditures in 2009 resulting from the later than expected start-up of Boddington, offset by lower capital expenditures throughout the rest of the portfolio.

Capital expenditures in North America during the first half of 2008 were primarily related to the completion of the power plant and sustaining mine development at Nevada. South America capital expenditures were primarily related to construction of the gold mill, development of the Conga project and leach pad expansions at Yanacocha. Capital expenditures in Asia Pacific largely resulted from the continued construction of the Boddington project (66.67% ownership) and for sustaining mine development and construction of a second tailings pipeline at Batu Hijau. Capital expenditures in Africa were mainly as a result of mine equipment purchases, the development of Ahafo North and the Awonsu and Amoma pits and sustaining development at Ahafo.

Investments in and proceeds from sale of marketable debt and equity securities.During the first half of 2009 we recovered $5 primarily from the sale of asset backed commercial paper. During the first half of 2008, we purchased marketable equity securities of Gabriel Resources for $11 and other marketable securities for $6. In the first half of 2008, we received cash of $17 for the sale of shares of marketable equity securities, realizing a gain of $10.

59

Acquisitions.In the first half of 2009, we paid $741 (net of $1 cash acquired) and paid $8 in acquisition costs to acquire the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington. Consideration for the acquisition also includes $240 payable in cash and/or Newmont common stock, at our option, in December 2009 and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue lessCosts applicable to saleson a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable on one-third of gold sales from Boddington beginning in the second quarter of 2010. The completion of the acquisition in June 2009 brought Newmont’s interest in this project to 100%. Additionally, we paid $11 for a mining property near the La Herradura, Mexico operation in the first half of 2009. During the first half of 2008, we paid $318 to acquire the remaining outstanding common shares of Miramar, resulting in Miramar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. The total Miramar purchase price was $1,353.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided from financing activities of continuing operationswas $868 and $191 during the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Proceeds from and repayment of debt, net.During the first half of 2009, we received proceeds from debt of $1,494: $504 net proceeds from the issuance of convertible senior notes due in 2012, $54 from short-term borrowings in Batu Hijau, $10 under the Ahafo project facility and $926 under our $2,000 revolving credit facility. In addition, we repaid $1,668 of debt: $43 for Batu Hijau project financing scheduled debt repayments, $24 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant (classified as a capital lease), $1,583 under our $2,000 revolving credit facility and $18 on other credit facilities and other capital leases. At June 30, 2009 we had $100 borrowed under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is also used to secure the issuance of letters of credit totaling $345, primarily supporting reclamation obligations (see“Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”below).

Scheduled minimum debt repayments are $134 for the remainder of 2009, $157 in 2010, $334 in 2011, $697 in 2012, $116 in 2013 and $1,593 thereafter. We expect to be able to fund maturities of debt fromNet cash provided by operating activities, short-term investments, existing cash balances and available credit facilities.

At June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all required debt covenants and other restrictions related to debt agreements.

Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests.We paid dividends of $112 and $147 to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries during the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Dividends paid to common stockholders.We declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $0.20 per common share through each of the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. Additionally, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, declared regular quarterly dividends on its exchangeable shares totaling C$0.2461 per share through June 30, 2009 and C$0.2022 through June 30, 2008. We paid dividends of $98 and $91 to common stockholders in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Proceeds from stock issuance.We received proceeds of $1,247 and $24 during the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively, from the issuance of common stock. In February 2009 we completed a public offering of 34,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $37 per share for net proceeds of $1,234.

Discontinued Operations

Net operating cash provided by (used in) discontinued operationswas $8 and $(107) in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the first half of 2008, we made tax payments of $137 related to the royalty portfolio sale.

Net cash used in investing activities of discontinued operationswas $nil and $10 in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations in 2008 included payment of accrued costs related to the royalty portfolio sale ($11) and capital expenditures at Kori Kollo ($4), partially offset by proceeds from the sale of Pajingo assets ($5).

Net cash used in financing activities of discontinued operationsduring the first half of 2009 and 2008 were for scheduled debt payments at Kori Kollo.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements: operating leases (as discussed in Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed on June 8, 2009) and $851 of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. We also provide a contingent support line of credit to PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara of which our pro-rata share is $11. We have sales agreements to sell copper 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. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. We conduct our operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believe our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. 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. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $619 and $594, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently producing mineral properties.

In addition, we are 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. We believe 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 our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $157 and $163 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 131% greater or 8% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2009. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are charged toOther expense, netin the period estimates are revised.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 23 and 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the first half of 2009 and 2008, capital expenditures were approximately $85 and $82, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.

Newmont spent $8 and $6, respectively, during the first half of 2009 and 2008 for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities discussed in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The statement sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. We adopted the provisions of FAS 165 for our interim period ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

61

Post-Retirement Benefit Plan

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Post-Retirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”), which amends FASB Statement No. 132 “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits” (“FAS 132”), to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plan. The objective of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 is to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 on January 1, 2009. The provisions of this FSP are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes.

Equity Method Investment

In November 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached consensus on Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations” (“EITF 08-6”), which clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The intent of EITF 08-6 is to provide guidance on (i) determining the initial measurement of an equity method investment, (ii) recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of an equity method investment and (iii) accounting for an equity method investee’s issuance of shares. EITF 08-6 was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and has been applied prospectively. The adoption of EITF 08-6 had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Equity-Linked Financial Instruments

In June 2008, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”). EITF 07-5 was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 07-5 had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FAS 133. FSP APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP APB 14-1 be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This requires an allocation of convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component is reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instrument’s expected life using the effective interest method. FSP APB 14-1 requires retrospective application to all periods presented.

During July 2007, we completed an offering of $1,150 convertible senior notes due 2014 and 2017, each in the amount of $575. The 2014 notes, maturing on July 15, 2014, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.25% per annum, and the 2017 notes, maturing on July 15, 2017, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.625% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.21 per share of common stock (24,887,956 shares of common stock). In connection with the convertible senior notes offering, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions (“Call Spread Transactions”). The Call Spread Transactions included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $46.21 was effectively increased to $60.27. As of June 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amounts.

During February 2009, we completed an offering of $518 convertible senior notes due on February 15, 2012. The notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 3.00% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.25 per share of common stock (11,189,189 shares of common stock). As of June 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amount.

We have recorded the following in the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the convertible senior notes:

	At June 30, 2009									At December 31, 2008

As a result of adopting FSP APB 14-1, the effective interest rates increased by approximately 5 percentage points to 8.5%, 6.0% and 6.25% for the 2012, 2014 and 2017 notes, respectively, for the non-cash amortization of the debt discount over the lives of the notes.Interest expensewas increased by $8 which decreased ourIncome from continuing operationsandNet incomeby $6 ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2008.Interest expensewas increased by $16 which decreased ourIncome from continuing operationsandNet incomeby $11 ($0.02 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Had FSP APB 14-1 been effective in 2008, we would have paid our fourth quarter 2008 dividends out ofAdditional paid-in capitalrather thanRetained earnings; therefore, we made the reclassification in 2009. Cash flows from operations were not impacted by the adoption of FSP APB 14-1. The impact on our 2009 opening balance inRetained earningswas as follows:

	At December 31,
	2008
Balance before application of FSP APB 14-1	$	7
Impact of adoption of FSP APB 14-1		(31	)
Reclassification of dividends toAdditional paid-in capital		28
Balance after application of FSP APB 14-1	$	4

Following adoption and the issuance of the 2012 convertible senior notes in February 2009, we will amortize $375 ($244 net of tax) of debt discount over the lives of our convertible senior notes. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $8 and $15 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $14 and $26 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. The remaining unamortized debt discount will be amortized over the remaining 3, 5 and 8 year periods of the 2012, 2014 and 2017 convertible senior notes, respectively.

Accounting for the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”) which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”). FSP FAS 142-3 was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and has been applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Derivative Instruments

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. We adopted the provisions of FAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 161 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 16 for our derivative instruments disclosure.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 141(R) which replaces FAS 141, and provides new guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. FAS 141(R) also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. We adopted the provisions of FAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009 and applied them to the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”), which amends and clarifies FAS 141(R). The intent of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 is to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This FSP is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 did not have any impact on the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).

Noncontrolling Interests

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (“noncontrolling interest”), (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. If a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income based on such fair value. For presentation and disclosure purposes, FAS 160 requires noncontrolling interests to be classified as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We adopted the provisions of FAS 160 on January 1, 2009. Except for presentation changes, the adoption of FAS 160 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted the provisions of FAS 157 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position No. 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 for our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on January 1, 2009. Refer to Note 15 for further details regarding our assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”), which provides additional guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly. In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), which: i) clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other than temporarily impaired, ii) provides guidance on the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings and other comprehensive income and iii) expands the disclosures required for other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. Also in April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. Adoption of these Staff Positions is required for our interim reporting period beginning April 1, 2009 with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 for the interim period ended March 31, 2009. Refer to Note 15 for further details regarding our assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codificationand the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“FAS 168” or “the Codification”). FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification will supersede all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. FAS 168 is effective for our interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“FAS 167”), which requires an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the following characteristics: i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. FAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The provisions of FAS 167 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. We currently account for Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) as a VIE and are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

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; 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.

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts

We entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in currency rates. We entered into IDR/$ forward purchase contracts to hedge up to 80% of our IDR denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended IDR/$ rate realized each period. The hedges are forward purchase contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period IDR/$ rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts had no impact on Batu HijauCosts applicable to sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts increased Batu HijauCosts applicable to salesby $2 and reduced Batu HijauCosts applicable to salesby $1, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, we have hedged 45% of our expected remaining 2009 IDR operating expenditures.

We implemented a multi-year layered program to hedge up to 85% of our A$ denominated operating expenditures with forward contracts that have expiration dates ranging up to three years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ rates. Each month, fixed forward contracts are obtained to hedge 1/36^th of the forecasted monthly A$ operating cost exposure in the rolling three-year hedge period resulting in a blended $/A$ rate realized. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to sales by $9 and reduced Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $4, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $25 and reduced Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $5, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, we have hedged 77% of our expected remaining 2009 A$ operating expenditures, and 53%, 27% and 7% of our expected 2010, 2011 and 2012 A$ operating expenditures, respectively.

We implemented a multi-year layered program to hedge up to 75% of our NZ$ denominated operating expenditures with forward contracts that have expiration dates ranging up to two years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/NZ$ rates. Each month, fixed forward contracts are obtained to hedge 1/24^th of the forecasted monthly NZ$ operating cost exposure in the rolling two-year hedge period resulting in a blended $/NZ$ rate realized. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the NZ$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to sales by $1 and $nil, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the NZ$ operating hedge program increased Australia/New ZealandCosts applicable to salesby $3 and $nil, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, we have hedged 63% of our expected remaining 2009 NZ$ operating expenditures, and 32% and 7% of our expected 2010 and 2011 NZ$ operating expenditures, respectively.

We implemented a program to hedge up to 95% of our A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of Boddington. The program consists of a series of fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year from the date of issue. The realized gains and losses associated with the capital expenditure hedge program will impactAmortizationduring future periods in which the Boddington assets are placed into service. As of June 30, 2009, we have hedged 83% of our expected remaining A$ denominated Boddington capital expenditures.

All of the foreign currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded inAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss)and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts

We implemented a program to hedge up to 66% of our operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at its Nevada operations to reduce the variability in the diesel prices realized. The program consists of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates of up to two years from the date of issue. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Nevada diesel hedge program increased NevadaCosts applicable to salesby $4 and $nil, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Nevada diesel hedge program increased NevadaCosts applicable to salesby $11 and $nil, respectively. The contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future diesel purchases, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in the market value have been recorded inAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss)and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of June 30, 2009, we have hedged 56% of our expected remaining 2009 Nevada diesel expenditures, and 24% and 10% of our expected 2010 and 2011 Nevada diesel expenditures, respectively.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

At June 30, 2009, we had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of our 8 5/8% debentures. The interest rate swap contracts were transacted to provide balance to our mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Under the hedge contract terms, we receive fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pay floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as fair value hedges, and as such, changes in fair value have been recorded in income in each period, consistent with recording changes to the mark-to-market value of the underlying hedged liability in income. Changes in the mark-to-market value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as a component ofInterest expense, net.The hedge contracts decreasedInterest expense, netby $1 and $1 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and decreasedInterest expense, netby $2 and $1 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, losses of $1 and $3, respectively, were included inOther income, netof the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, losses of $1 and $nil, respectively, were included inOther income, netof the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges.

LME copper prices averaged $2.12 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $2.11 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $1.84 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $1.88 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The applicable forward copper price at the end of the quarter was $2.25 per pound. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, increasing copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $35 ($0.33 per pound). During the six months ended June 30, 2009, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $64 ($0.32 per pound). At June 30, 2009, we had copper sales of 109 million pounds priced at an average of $2.25 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

The average London P.M. fix was $922 per ounce during the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $920 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges.

The applicable forward gold price at the end of the quarter was $927 per ounce. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $nil. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $1 ($nil per ounce). At June 30, 2009, we had gold sales of 71,000 ounces priced at an average of $927 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

ITEM 5. OTHER MATTERS.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 21, 2009 the Company adopted the 2009 Senior Executive Compensation Program, covering the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and certain other senior executives of the Company. Under this program, these senior executives are eligible for the award of financial performance shares. The target number of shares for each executive is determined by dividing a percentage of base salary by the average closing share price of the December prior to the performance year. Annual corporate performance metrics determine the percentage of the target shares that will be awarded at the end of the performance year, with vesting occurring over the three-year period beginning in the performance year. Senior executives are also eligible for a cash bonus based upon corporate performance metrics and, at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee, a cash bonus for achievement of strategic objectives.

The foregoing summary of the Senior Executive Compensation Program is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Senior Executive Compensation Program description, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 22, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of Delaware eliminating the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Company’s $3.25 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), which had been issued in connection with our merger with Battle Mountain Gold Company in 2001. In 2002, all of the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemed by the Company and no shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are currently outstanding. A copy of the Certificate of Elimination is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated by reference herein.
