Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Accounting Standards Codification In June2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC is a new structure which took existing accounting pronouncements and organized them by accounting topic. Relevant authoritative literature issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and select SEC staff interpretations and administrative literature was also included in the ASC. All other accounting guidance not included in the ASC is non-authoritative. The ASC was effective for the Companys interim quarterly period beginning July1, 2009. The adoption of the ASC did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Subsequent Events In May2009, the ASC guidance for subsequent events was updated to establish 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 update 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 updated guidance for the interim period ended June30, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Post-Retirement Benefit Plans In December2008, the ASC guidance for retirement benefits was updated to expand the requirements of employers disclosures about post-retirement benefit plan assets in a defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plan. The objective 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 updated guidance on January1, 2009. These disclosures are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. Equity Method Investments In November2008, the ASC guidance for equity method and joint venture investments was updated to clarify the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The intent 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 investees issuance of shares. The updated guidance was effective for the Companys fiscal year b |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | 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 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 Companys business conducted within the country involved. At September30, 2009, the Companys total unrecognized tax benefit was $120 for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. Of this, $93 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective income tax rate. Also included in the balance at September30, 2009 is $12 of tax positions that, due to the impact of deferred tax accounting, the potential disallowance of which would not affect the annual effective tax rate. In April2009, the United States Tax Court issued an opinion for Santa Fe Pacific Gold Company and Subsidiaries (Santa Fe), by and through its successor in interest, Newmont USA Limited, a member of the Newmont Mining Corporation (Newmont) affiliated group. The Tax Court ruled in favor of Santa Fe regarding the deductibility of a termination fee that had been paid in 1997 as part of a merger agreement. At September30, 2009, Newmont had not been notified by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (Commissioner) regarding a decision to appeal the Tax Court Ruling. If the Commissioner does not file an appeal, the Company will be decreasing its liability and accrued interest for uncertain income tax positions in the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result of (i)statute of limitations that expire in the next 12months in various jurisdictions, (ii)the effects of the aforementioned closure with respect to the Santa Fe matters described above and (iii)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 $55 to $87 in the next 12 months. |

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 VIE as a result of certain capital structures and contractual relationships and has fully consolidated Batu Hijau in its consolidated financial statements since January1, 2004. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (PTPI), an unrelated Indonesian company. NTPs interest in PTNNT was the subject of an international arbitration proceeding and a final award concerning PTNNTs interest was issued by the arbitration panel on March31, 2009. For further information concerning the arbitration award, see Note 27. Newmont has a 51.35% ownership interest in Yanacocha, with the remaining interests held by Compaia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the International Finance Corporation (5%). In April2008, 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%. The acquisition of the additional interest resulted in the consolidation of EGR. In November2008, EGR repurchased 6.55% of its own shares from a minority shareholder bringing Newmonts ownership to 60.64%. Swiss residents hold the remaining 39.36%. Prior to consolidation, the Company accounted for EGR using the equity method of accounting. |

Income Per Common Share [Abstract] | |
INCOME PER COMMON SHARE | 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.

Options to purchase 5.1million and 1.1million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $46 and $55 were outstanding at September30, 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 July2007 and February2009, Newmont issued $1,150 and $518, respectively, of convertible notes that, if converted in the future, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Companys 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 of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with accounting guidance for 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 |

Acquisitions [Abstract] | |
ACQUISITIONS | NOTE 14 ACQUISITIONS On June25, 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 January1, 2009, and closing adjustments were made to reflect Newmonts 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 Companys option, by December2009, and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue less Costs applicable to sales on 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: Cash $ 742 Cash and/or common shares 240 Contingent consideration (fair value) 62 $ 1,044 The Company estimates that the fair value of the contingent consideration is approximately $62, and recognized this 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 in Note 4, Other expense, net), including Australian stamp duties. $14 of these costs were paid at September30, 2009. Additionally, in June2009, Newmont paid $182 to reimburse AngloGold for its share of capital and other project expenditures from January1, 2009 to June25, 2009. The reimbursement of capital expenditures is included in Property, plant and mine development, net, and as Additions to property, plant and mine development on the cash flow statement. The purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows: Assets: Cash $ 1 Property, plant and mine development, net 1,073 Inventories and stockpiles 7 Deferred income tax asset 28 Other assets 11 $ 1,120 Liabilities: Accrued liabilities $ 33 Reclamation liabilities 15 Deferred income tax liability 28 76 Net assets acquired $ 1,044 In the first quarter of 2009, La Herradura (of which Newmont owns 44%) purchased a mining property near its Mexico operation for cash consideration of $11 (Newmonts 44% share). The pro forma impact of all 2009 acquisitions on Net Income was not material. In December2007, the Company purchased approximately 70% of the common shares of Miramar Mining Corporation (Miramar), which, in addition to the shares previously owned, brought the Companys interest in Miramar to approximately 78%.

Fair Value Accounting [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING | NOTE 15 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The following table sets forth the Companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair Value at September 30, 2009 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 1,733 $ 1,733 $ $ Marketable equity securities 1,029 1,029 Corporate marketable debt securities 10 10 Other marketable debt securities: Asset backed commercial paper 18 18 Auction rate securities 5 5 Trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, net 191 191 Derivative instruments, net 149 149 $ 3,135 $ 2,963 $ 149 $ 23 Liabilities: 8 5/8% debentures ($100 hedged portion) $ 97 $ $ 97 $ Boddington contingent consideration 62 62 $ 159 $ $ 97 $ 62 The Companys cash equivalent instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash equivalent instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities. The Companys 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 Companys corporate marketable debt securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Leve |

Derivative Instruments [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | 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 hedge accounting guidance, the Company designated currency fixed forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges, diesel forward contracts as cash flow hedges, treasury rate lock contracts as cash flow hedges of proceeds realized from debt issuances, 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. The maximum period over which hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur is three years. Cash Flow Hedges Foreign Currency Contracts Newmont utilizes foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in currency rates. Newmont hedges up to 80% of the Companys IDR denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended IDR/$ rate realized each period. The hedging instruments 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 September 30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts reduced Batu Hijau Costs applicable to sales by $1. For the nine months ended September30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts increased Batu Hijau Costs applicable to sales by $1 and reduced Batu Hijau Costs applicable to sales by $2, respectively. At September30, 2009, the Company has hedged 20% of its expected remaining 2009 IDR operating expenditures. The Company hedges up to 85% of the Companys A$ 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 1/36th 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 September30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedging instruments reduced Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $4 and $nil, respectively. For the nine months ended September30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedging instruments increased Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $21 and reduced Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $5, respectively. At September30, 2009, the Company has hedged 78% of its expected remaining 2009 A$ operating expenditures, and 53%, 30% and 9% of its expected 2010, 2011 and 2012 A$ operating expenditures, respectively. The Company hedges up to 75% of the Companys NZ$ denominated operating expenditures with forward contracts that have expiration dates ranging up to two years from the date of i |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 27 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES General The Company follows loss contingency accounting guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies other than tax contingencies provided for in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (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 Companys operating segments are identified in Note 25. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Companys 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 Companys 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 September30, 2008 and December31, 2008, $624 and $594, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation accounting guidance. The current portions of $53 and $58 at September30, 2009 and December31, 2008, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities. In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards.
