Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Corporation, a Delaware corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on February 20, 2020 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. On April 18, 2019 (the “acquisition date”), Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, Inc. (“Goldcorp”), an Ontario corporation. The Company acquired all outstanding common shares of Goldcorp in a primarily stock transaction (the “Newmont Goldcorp transaction”) for total cash and non-cash consideration of $9,456. For further information, see Note 3. On March 10, 2019, the Company entered into an implementation agreement with Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) to establish a joint venture (“Nevada JV Agreement”). On July 1, 2019 (the “effective date”), Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established Nevada Gold Mines LLC (“NGM”). As of the effective date, the Company contributed its Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon operations ("existing Nevada mining operations") and Barrick contributed certain of its Nevada mining operations and assets. Newmont and Barrick hold economic interests in the joint venture equal to 38.5% and 61.5%, respectively. Barrick acts as the operator of NGM with overall management responsibility, and is subject to the supervision and direction of NGM’s Board of Managers. The Company accounts for its interest in NGM using the proportionate consolidation method, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities and operations of NGM. For further information, see Note 27. References to “C$” refer to Canadian currency.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Risks and Uncertainties As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing metal prices, primarily for gold, but also for copper, silver, lead and zinc. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development , net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. In addition to changes in commodity prices, other factors such as changes in mine plans, increases in costs, geotechnical failures, changes in social, environmental or regulatory requirements, impacts of global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and management’s decision to sell or abandon a development project can adversely affect the Company’s ability to recover its investment in certain assets and result in impairment charges.​ During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. In response, the Company temporarily placed five sites into care and maintenance, including Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro in March 2020 and Peñasquito in April 2020. The Company worked closely with local stakeholders to resume operations at all five sites during the second quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2020, Musselwhite, Éléonore and Peñasquito were fully operational while Yanacocha has ramped up to near normal operations. Cerro Negro continues to operate at reduced levels while managing ongoing COVID-19 related travel restrictions and collaborating with local authorities and trade unions. The impact of this pandemic could include additional sites being placed into care and maintenance, significant COVID-19 specific costs, volatility in the prices for gold and other metals, logistical challenges shipping our products, delays in product refining and smelting due to restrictions or temporary closures, additional travel restrictions, other supply chain disruptions and workforce interruptions, including loss of life. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19, this could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and could result in material impairment charges to the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net ; Inventories ; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads ; Investments ; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Care and Maintenance The Company incurs certain direct operating costs and depreciation and amortization costs when operations and projects are temporarily halted and placed in care and maintenance, as well as during the period an operation ramps back up from care and maintenance to a level of normal operations. Direct operating costs incurred while operations and projects are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Care and Maintenance as these costs do not benefit the productive process and are not related to sales. Depreciation and amortization costs incurred while operations are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Depreciation and amortization . Credit Losses The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, on January 1, 2020. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below. The Company holds certain financial instruments that are exposed to credit losses. The Company assesses each counterparty's ability to pay by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers our expected exposure, timing of payment, contract terms and conditions, and the counterparty's creditworthiness based on established credit ratings and financial position. We monitor ongoing credit exposure through review of counterparty balances against contract terms and due dates. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual life of the underlying instrument utilizing various measurement methods. These include discounted cash flow and probability-of-default methods. Investments Management classifies investments at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is a change in the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence. The Company accounts for its investments in stock of other entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control, using the equity method of accounting. The ability to exercise significant influence is typically presumed when the Company possesses 20% or more of the voting interests in the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company increases its investment for contributions made and records its proportionate share of net earnings, declared dividends and partnership distributions based on the most recently available financial statements of the investee. In addition, the Company evaluates its equity method investments for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investment. Declines in fair value that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to Other Income, net . Equity method investments are included in Investments . Additionally, the Company has certain marketable equity and debt securities. Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recorded in Other income, net . The Company accounts for its restricted marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") investments, net of taxes, are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Total equity , unless an impairment is deemed to be credit-related. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding charge to Other Income, net . Reclamation and Remediation Costs Reclamation obligations are recognized when incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and amortized over the life of the related asset. Reclamation costs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. Changes in reclamation estimates at mines that are not currently operating, as the mine or portion of the mine site has entered the closure phase and has no substantive future economic value, are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. The estimated reclamation obligation is based on when spending for an existing disturbance is expected to occur. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the reclamation obligation at each mine site in accordance with ASC guidance for asset retirement obligations. Remediation costs are accrued based on management’s best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates may include ongoing care, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in remediation estimates are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. Water treatment costs included in environmental remediation obligations are discounted to their present value as cash flows are readily estimable. All other costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules Credit Losses In June 2016, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $5 to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Capitalization of Certain Cloud Computing Implementation Costs In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-15 was issued which allows for the capitalization for certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. Supplemental Guarantor Financial Statements In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) finalized its proposed updates to Rule 3-10 within Regulation S-X, Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities (the “Rule”). The Rule simplifies the disclosure requirements for issuers and guarantors of securities that are registered or being registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Rule also eliminates the requirement to disclose condensed consolidating financial information within the financial statements for qualifying entities and permits abbreviated disclosures of the guarantor/issuer relationship within Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Rule is effective on January 4, 2021 and voluntary compliance prior to the effective date is permitted. The Company adopted the Rule effective January 1, 2020 and, as such, no longer includes condensed consolidating financial information within Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements. Abbreviated disclosures regarding the nature and relationship of debt guarantor/issuer relationships can now be found in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis under Liquidity and Capital Resources, Supplemental Guarantor Information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for Equity Securities, Investments and Certain Forward Contracts and Options In January 2020, ASU No. 2020-01 was issued which clarifies the interaction in accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2021. Effects of Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, ASU No. 2020-04 was issued which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is still completing its evaluation of the impact of ASU 2020-04 and plans to elect optional expedients as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION

BUSINESS ACQUISITION	9 Months Ended

Business Combinations [Abstract]
BUSINESS ACQUISITION	BUSINESS ACQUISITION On April 18, 2019, Newmont completed the business acquisition of Goldcorp, in which Newmont was the acquirer. The acquisition of Goldcorp increased the Company’s gold and other metal reserves and expanded the operating jurisdictions. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following: Newmont stock issued (285 million shares at $33.04 per share) $ 9,423 Cash paid to Goldcorp shareholders 17 Other non-cash consideration 16 Total consideration $ 9,456 ​The Company retained an independent appraiser to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price of Goldcorp has been allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated acquisition date fair values. The fair value estimates were based on income, market and cost valuation methods. The excess of the total consideration over the estimated fair value of the amounts initially assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill balance is mainly attributable to: (i) the acquisition of existing operating mines with access to an assembled workforce that cannot be duplicated at the same costs by new entrants; (ii) operating synergies anticipated from the integration of the operations of Newmont and Goldcorp; (iii) the application of Newmont’s Full Potential program and potential strategic and financial benefits that include the increase in reserve base and opportunities to identify additional mineralization through exploration activities; and (iv) the financial flexibility to execute capital priorities. During April 2020, the Company completed the analysis to assign fair values to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation for the Newmont Goldcorp transaction: Assets: ​ Cash and cash equivalents $ 117 Trade receivables 95 Investments 169 Equity method investments (1) 2,796 Inventories 500 Stockpiles and ore on leach pads 57 Property, plant & mine development (2) 11,054 Goodwill (3) 2,550 Deferred income tax assets (4) 206 Other assets 508 Total assets 18,052 ​ Liabilities: Debt (5) 3,304 Accounts payable 240 Employee-related benefits 190 Income and mining taxes payable 20 Lease and other financing obligations 423 Reclamation and remediation liabilities (6) 897 Deferred income tax liabilities (4) 1,430 Silver streaming agreement (7) 1,165 Other liabilities (8) 927 Total liabilities 8,596 Net assets acquired $ 9,456 ____________________________ (1) The fair value of the equity method investments was determined by applying the income valuation method. The income valuation method relies on a discounted cash flow model and projected financial results. Discount rates for the discounted cash flow models are based on capital structures for similar market participants and included various risk premiums that account for risks associated with the specific investments. (2) The fair value of property, plant and mine development is based on applying the income and cost valuation methods and includes a provision for the estimated fair value of asset retirement obligations related to the long-lived tangible assets. (3) Goodwill attributable to the North America and South America reportable segments is $2,091 and $459, respectively. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company reclassified $84 of goodwill previously allocated to the Red Lake reporting unit, and included in Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019, to other reporting units in the North America reportable segment as a result of refinements to deferred tax liability allocations during the first quarter that existed at the acquisition date. The Company disposed $47 of goodwill remaining at Red Lake on March 31, 2020 as part of the Red Lake Sale. See Note 9 for additional information. (4) Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax benefit or future tax expense associated with the differences between the fair value allocated to assets (excluding goodwill) and liabilities and the historical carryover tax basis of these assets and liabilities. No deferred tax liability is recognized for the basis difference inherent in the fair value allocated to goodwill. (5) The fair value of the Goldcorp Senior Notes is measured using a market approach, based on quoted prices for the acquired debt; $1,250 of borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit agreements approximate fair value. (6) The fair value of reclamation and remediation liabilities is based on the expected amounts and timing of cash flows for closure activities and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the acquisition date. Key assumptions include the costs and timing of key closure activities based on the life of mine plans, including estimates and timing of monitoring and water management costs (if applicable) after the completion of initial closure activities. (7) The fair value of the acquired silver streaming intangible liability is valued by using the income valuation method. Key assumptions in the income valuation method include long-term silver prices, level of silver production over the life of mine and discount rates. (8) Other liabilities includes the balance of $450 related to unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Goldcorp revenue of $955 and $2,312, and Goldcorp net income (loss) of $214 and $343, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes Goldcorp revenue of $710 and $1,159 and Goldcorp net income (loss) of $72 and $(17) from the acquisition date through the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents consolidated results assuming the Goldcorp acquisition occurred on January 1, 2019. ​ Nine Months Ended ​ 2019 Sales $ 7,501 Net income (loss) (1) $ 2,101 ____________________________ (1) Included in Net income (loss) is $228 of Newmont Goldcorp transaction and integration costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATIONThe Company has organized its operations into five geographic regions: North America, South America, Australia, Africa and Nevada, which also represent Newmont’s reportable and operating segments. The results of these operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. As a result, these operating segments represent the Company’s reportable segments. Notwithstanding this structure, the Company internally reports information on a mine-by-mine basis for each mining operation and has chosen to disclose this information in the following tables. Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items from reportable segments does not reflect general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income and mining taxes. Intercompany revenue and expense amounts have been eliminated within each segment in order to report on the basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance. Newmont’s business activities that are not considered operating segments are included in Corporate and Other. Although they are not required to be included in this footnote, they are provided for reconciliation purposes:​ Sales Costs Applicable to Sales Depreciation and Amortization Advanced Projects, Research and Development and Exploration Income (Loss) before Income and Mining Tax and Other Items Capital Expenditures (1) Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 CC&V $ 137 $ 61 $ 21 $ 4 $ 47 $ 10 Musselwhite 90 46 33 2 1 15 Porcupine 154 61 27 3 59 10 Éléonore 111 53 32 1 19 11 Peñasquito: Gold 238 74 40 Silver 138 45 24 Lead 30 17 9 Zinc 99 49 26 Total Peñasquito 505 185 99 1 197 20 Other North America — — 6 5 (25) — North America 997 406 218 16 298 66 Yanacocha 152 81 26 2 6 23 Merian 204 86 28 3 88 10 Cerro Negro 95 43 34 — (8) 10 Other South America — — 1 7 (11) — South America 451 210 89 12 75 43 Boddington: Gold 348 148 26 Copper 43 28 5 Total Boddington 391 176 31 1 173 22 Tanami 248 62 30 4 135 68 Other Australia — — 1 5 (13) 1 Australia 639 238 62 10 295 91 Ahafo 261 99 40 5 101 32 Akyem 172 58 29 2 77 7 Other Africa — — — 1 (4) — Africa 433 157 69 8 174 39 Nevada Gold Mines 650 258 151 12 223 57 Nevada 650 258 151 12 223 57 Corporate and Other — — 3 29 (185) 11 Consolidated $ 3,170 $ 1,269 $ 592 $ 87 $ 880 $ 307 ____________________________ (1) Includes an increase in accrued capital expenditures of $11; consolidated capital expenditures on a cash basis were $296. ​ Sales Costs Applicable to Sales Depreciation and Amortization Advanced Projects, Research and Development and Exploration Income (Loss) before Income and Mining Tax and Other Items Capital Expenditures (1) Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ CC&V $ 108 $ 65 $ 22 $ 2 $ 19 $ 12 Red Lake (2) 44 45 21 2 (28) 8 Musselwhite — 8 9 3 (21) 17 Porcupine 123 62 22 4 34 26 Éléonore 124 69 28 2 25 13 Peñasquito: Gold 54 39 10 Silver 78 60 16 Lead 25 25 7 Zinc 87 47 13 Total Peñasquito 244 171 46 2 14 52 Other North America — — 8 2 (76) 3 North America 643 420 156 17 (33) 131 ​ Yanacocha 219 107 33 6 55 46 Merian 188 78 25 3 84 16 Cerro Negro 175 78 28 15 52 18 Other South America — — 3 9 (18) — South America 582 263 89 33 173 80 ​ Boddington: Gold 266 146 27 Copper 38 28 6 Total Boddington 304 174 33 1 100 22 Tanami 165 64 25 2 81 29 Kalgoorlie (2) 90 60 6 2 21 9 Other Australia — — 1 9 (12) 2 Australia 559 298 65 14 190 62 ​ Ahafo 231 98 40 8 90 62 Akyem 157 51 35 4 66 6 Other Africa — — — 1 (4) — Africa 388 149 75 13 152 68 ​ Nevada Gold Mines 492 235 149 13 85 80 Carlin (3) 14 8 3 — 5 — Phoenix: (3) Gold 19 15 4 Copper 2 — — Total Phoenix 21 15 4 — 2 — Twin Creeks (3) 12 3 2 — 8 — Long Canyon (3) 2 1 1 — (2) — Other Nevada (3) — — 1 — — — Nevada 541 262 160 13 98 80 ​ Corporate and Other — — 3 41 2,198 6 Consolidated $ 2,713 $ 1,392 $ 548 $ 131 $ 2,778 $ 427 ____________________________ (1) Includes a decrease in accrued capital expenditures of $1; consolidated capital expenditures on a cash basis were $428.

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION	RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various domestic and international 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 to protect public health and the 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 and remediation costs are based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements. The Company’s Reclamation and remediation expense consisted of:​ ​ Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ​ 2020 2019 2020 2019 Reclamation adjustments and other $ — $ 14 $ — $ 14 Reclamation accretion 34 39 103 99 Total reclamation expense 34 53 103 113 ​ Remediation adjustments and other 3 9 9 49 Remediation accretion 1 — 4 3 Total remediation expense 4 9 13 52 ​ $ 38 $ 62 $ 116 $ 165 The following are reconciliations of Reclamation and remediation liabilities :​ ​ 2020 2019 Reclamation balance at January 1, $ 3,334 $ 2,316 Additions, changes in estimates and other (2) 18 Adjustment from the Newmont Goldcorp transaction (1) 15 948 Net change from the formation of NGM — (26) Other acquisitions and divestitures — (10) Payments, net (49) (43) Accretion expense 103 99 Reclamation balance at September 30, $ 3,401 $ 3,302 ​ ​ 2020 2019 Remediation balance at January 1, $ 299 $ 279 Additions, changes in estimates and other — 37 Payments, net (18) (21) Accretion expense 4 3 Remediation balance at September 30, $ 285 $ 298 ____________________________ (1) As of September 30, 2019, an adjustment of $180 relating to the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, was reclassified from remediation to reclamation, consistent with the presentation in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on February 20, 2020 on Form 10-K. The current portion of reclamation liabilities was $120 and $125 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities . The current portion of remediation liabilities was $44 and $44 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities . At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $3,401 and $3,334, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to operating properties and formerly operating properties that have entered the closure phase and have no substantive future economic value. The Company is also involved in several matters concerning environmental remediation obligations associated with former, primarily historic, mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $285 and $299, respectively, were accrued for such environmental remediation obligations. 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 38% greater or 0% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2020. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities . The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised. Included in Other non-current assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are $52 and $53 respectively, of non-current restricted cash held for purposes of settling reclamation and remediation obligations. Of the amounts at September 30, 2020, $47 was related to the Ahafo and Akyem mines in Ghana, Africa and $5 related to NGM in Nevada, United States.

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2020
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING	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, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; 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 tables set forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair Value at September 30, 2020 ​ Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents $ 4,828 $ 4,828 $ — $ — Restricted cash 104 104 — — Trade receivable from provisional concentrate sales, net 284 — 284 — Marketable equity securities (Note 19) (1) 566 545 21 — Restricted marketable debt securities (Note 19) 37 23 14 — Contingent consideration assets 96 — — 96 ​ $ 5,915 $ 5,500 $ 319 $ 96 Liabilities: Debt (2) $ 7,550 $ — $ 7,550 $ — Diesel derivative contracts 5 — 5 — Holt royalty obligation (Note 23) — — — — Cash-settled Goldcorp share awards 14 — 14 — ​ $ 7,569 $ — $ 7,569 $ — ​ ​ Fair Value at December 31, 2019 ​ Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,243 $ 2,243 $ — $ — Restricted cash 106 106 — — Trade receivable from provisional concentrate sales, net 331 — 331 — Marketable equity securities (Note 19) (1) 376 357 19 — Marketable debt securities (Note 19) 39 — — 39 Continental conversion option (Note 19) 51 — 51 — Restricted marketable debt securities (Note 19) 54 23 31 — Restricted other assets (Note 19) 1 1 — — Contingent consideration assets 38 — — 38 ​ $ 3,239 $ 2,730 $ 432 $ 77 Liabilities: Debt (2) $ 7,068 $ — $ 7,068 $ — Diesel derivative contracts 1 — 1 — Holt royalty obligation (Note 23) 257 — — 257 Cash-settled Goldcorp share awards 12 — 12 — ​ $ 7,338 $ — $ 7,081 $ 257 ____________________________ (1) Marketable equity securities includes warrants reported in the Maverix Metals Inc. equity method investment balance of $13 at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. (2) Debt is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $6,030 and $6,138 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value measurement of debt was based on an independent third-party pricing source. The fair values of the derivative instruments in the table above are presented on a net basis. The gross amounts related to the fair value of the derivative instruments above are immaterial. All other fair value disclosures in the above table are presented on a gross basis.​ The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (which includes restricted cash and cash equivalents) are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities. The Company’s net trade receivables from provisional metal concentrate sales, which contain an embedded derivative and are subject to final pricing, are valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves for the particular metal. As the contracts themselves are not traded on an exchange, these receivables are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s marketable equity securities with readily determinable fair values 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 are calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company. The Company’s marketable equity securities without readily determinable fair values are primarily comprised of warrants in publicly traded companies and are valued using a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying securities. As the contracts themselves are not traded on the exchange, these equity securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s restricted marketable debt securities are primarily U.S. government issued bonds and international bonds. The Company’s South American debt securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, using published market prices of actively traded securities. The Company’s North American debt securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using pricing models which are based on prices of similar, actively traded securities. The Company’s restricted other assets primarily consist of marketable equity securities, which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are based on quoted market prices available in active markets. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration assets was determined using discounted cash flow models. The contingent consideration assets consist of financial instruments that meet the definition of a derivative, but do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815. These are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the contingent consideration. The Company’s derivative instruments consist of fixed forward contracts. These derivative instruments are valued using pricing models, and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, forward curves, 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. During the third quarter, the Company purchased the Holt option from Kirkland, which resulted in a downward revision to future production scenarios of the Holt mine to nil. The Company has the right to exercise the Holt option and acquire ownership to the mineral interests subject to the Holt royalty obligation in the event Kirkland intends to resume operations at the Holt mine. Kirkland has the right to assume the Company’s Holt royalty obligation at any time, in which case the Holt option would terminate. The net effect of the Holt option structure is that Kirkland cannot resume operations and process minerals subject to the Holt royalty obligation unless it also assumes the obligation. The estimated fair value of the Holt royalty obligation was determined using a discounted cash flow model. The royalty obligation is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 13 for additional information on the Holt option. The Company’s liability-classified stock-based compensation awards consist of cash-settled Goldcorp share awards which become payable in cash on the vesting date. These awards are valued each reporting period based on the quoted Newmont stock price. As the awards themselves are not traded on the exchange, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s marketable debt securities consist of an unrestricted convertible debenture with Continental (the “Continental Convertible Debt”). The estimated fair value of the host debt instrument was determined using a discounted cash flow model, with an internally derived discount rate. It has been classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Increases in the discount rate will result in a decrease of the Continental Convertible Debt. In March 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Continental, which included the convertible debenture. Refer to Note 19 for further information. The Continental conversion option is an embedded derivative in the Continental Convertible Debt agreement. It is valued using a Black-Scholes model using quoted market prices in active markets of the underlying security. As the option itself is not traded on the exchange, this instrument is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In March 2020, the Company completed the sale of its interest in Continental, which included the conversion option. Refer to Note 19 for further information. The following tables set forth a summary of the quantitative and qualitative information related to the significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the calculation of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:​ Description At September 30, 2020 Valuation technique Significant input Range, point estimate or average Contingent consideration assets $ 96 Discounted cash flow Discount rate (1) 5.00 - 14.90 % Holt royalty obligation (2) $ — Discounted cash flow Gold production scenarios (in 000's of ounces) (2) — ____________________________ (1) The weighted average discount rate used to calculate the Company’s contingent consideration assets is 10.27%.

For further information regarding these amounts, see Note 6. ​ Pueblo Viejo As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding shareholder loans to Pueblo Viejo of $328 and $425, with accrued interest of $1 and $7, respectively, included in the Pueblo Viejo equity method investment. Additionally, the Company had an unfunded commitment to Pueblo Viejo in the form of a revolving loan facility ("Revolving Facility"). There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2020. The Company purchases its portion (40%) of gold and silver produced from Pueblo Viejo at market price and resells those ounces to third parties. Total payments made to Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchased were $170 and $463 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Total payments made to Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchased were $141 and $268 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These purchases, net of subsequent sales, were included in Other income, net and the net amount is immaterial. There were no amounts due to or due from Pueblo Viejo for gold and silver purchases as of September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. TMAC Resources, Inc. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $93, in Other income, net related to TMAC. The impairment charge was calculated using quoted market prices as of March 31, 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, TMAC entered into an agreement to sell all of the company’s outstanding shares of TMAC to Shandong Gold Mining Co. Ltd. TMAC shareholders have approved the agreement and the transaction is pending regulatory approval. Continental Gold, Inc. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company determined that based on its evolving roles on advisory committees and its support for recent financing events, Newmont had the ability to exercise significant influence over Continental and concluded that the investment qualified as an equity method investment. As a result, the Company reclassified its existing Continental marketable equity security to an equity method investment. The fair value of the marketable equity security was $73, which formed the new basis for the equity method investment. Additionally, in March 2019, the Company entered into a convertible debt agreement with Continental totaling $50. The debt was convertible into common shares of Continental at a price of C$3.00 per share. The debt was an unrestricted marketable debt security and was classified as available-for-sale. The fair value of the marketable debt security was $39 as of December 31, 2019 and was included in the Continental equity method investment balance. The conversion feature was identified as an embedded derivative, which was bifurcated from the host instrument and included in the Continental equity method investment balance. The fair value of the conversion option was $51 as of December 31, 2019. Changes in the conversion option fair value were included in Other Income, net . During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a contractual arrangement to sell its entire interest in Continental, including its convertible debt, to Zijin Mining Group.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES General Estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred. Operating Segments The Company’s operating and reportable segments are identified in Note 4. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described herein are included in Corporate and Other. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Newmont Ghana Gold and Newmont Golden Ridge matters relate to the Africa reportable segment. The Mexico tax matters relate to the North America reportable segment. Environmental Matters Refer to Note 6 for further information regarding reclamation and remediation. Details about certain of the more significant matters are discussed below. Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned Ross-Adams mine site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) 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 agreed to perform the EE/CA pursuant to the requirements of an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (“ASAOC”) between the USFS and Newmont. The EE/CA was provided to the USFS in April 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, the USFS confirmed approval of the EE/CA, and Newmont issued written notice to the USFS certifying that all requirements of the ASAOC had been completed. During the third quarter of 2016, Newmont received a notice of completion of work per the ASAOC from the USFS, which finalized the ASAOC. The USFS issued an Action Memorandum in April 2018 to select the preferred Removal Action alternative identified in the EE/CA. The parties have now finalized the ASAOC, which the USFS published in the Federal Register for public review and comment on July 8, 2020. The USFS subsequently issued notice to Newmont that the public comments did not require modification or withdrawal of the ASAOC, and therefore it became effective as of September 22, 2020 and the USFS issued Newmont a Notice to Proceed. Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) - 51% Newmont Owned Midnite mine site and Dawn mill 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). As per the Consent Decree approved by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington on January 17, 2012, the following actions were required of Newmont, Dawn, the Department of the Interior and the EPA: (i) Newmont and Dawn would design, construct and implement the cleanup plan selected by the EPA in 2006 for the Midnite mine site; (ii) Newmont and Dawn would reimburse the EPA for its costs associated with overseeing the work; (iii) the Department of the Interior would contribute a lump sum amount toward past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site; (iv) Newmont and Dawn would be responsible for all other EPA oversight costs and Midnite mine site cleanup costs; and (v) Newmont would post a surety bond for work at the site. During 2012, the Department of Interior contributed its share of past EPA costs and future costs related to the cleanup of the Midnite mine site in a lump sum payment of $42, which Newmont classified as restricted assets with interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. In 2016, Newmont completed the remedial design process (with the exception of the new water treatment plant (“WTP”) design which was awaiting the approval of the new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit). Subsequently, the new NPDES permit was received in 2017 and the WTP design commenced in 2018. Newmont is managing the remediation project during the 2020 construction season with a focus on the Pit 3 aggregate production and the start of Phase 2 remediation activities. In the second quarter of 2020, Newmont submitted to the EPA and US Bank a request to draw down funds from the Department of Interior settlement payment in trust for work conducted by Newmont at the site, according to the terms of the Consent Decree. The Dawn mill site is regulated by the Washington Department of Health and is in the process of being closed. Remediation at the Dawn mill site began in 2013. The Tailing Disposal Area 1-4 reclamation earthworks component was completed during 2017 with the embankment erosion protection completed in the second quarter of 2018. The remaining closure activity will consist primarily of addressing groundwater issues and evaporating the remaining balance of process water on site. The remediation liability for the Midnite mine site and Dawn mill site is approximately $156 at September 30, 2020. Other Legal Matters Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. - 51.35% Newmont Owned Administrative Actions . The Peruvian government agency responsible for environmental evaluation and inspection, Organismo Evaluacion y Fiscalizacion Ambiental (“OEFA”), conducts periodic reviews of the Yanacocha site. From 2011 to the third quarter of 2020, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. The water authority that is in charge of supervising the proper water administration has also issued notices of alleged regulatory violations in previous years. The experience with OEFA and the water authority is that in the case of a finding of violation, remedial action is often the outcome rather than a significant fine. The alleged OEFA violations currently active in 2020 range from zero to 33,676 units and the water authority alleged violations range from zero to 10 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.001170 based on current exchange rates, with a total potential fine amount for outstanding matters of $— to $40.5. Yanacocha is responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations. Conga Project Constitutional Claim . On October 18, 2012, Marco Antonio Arana Zegarra filed a constitutional claim against the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Yanacocha requesting the Court to order the suspension of the Conga project as well as to declare not applicable the October 27, 2010, directorial resolution approving the Conga project Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”). On October 23, 2012, a Cajamarca judge dismissed the claims based on formal grounds finding that: (i) plaintiffs had not exhausted previous administrative proceedings; (ii) the directorial resolution approving the Conga EIA is valid, and was not challenged when issued in the administrative proceedings; (iii) there was inadequate evidence to conclude that the Conga project is a threat to the constitutional right of living in an adequate environment; and (iv) the directorial resolution approving the Conga project EIA does not guarantee that the Conga project will proceed, so there was no imminent threat to be addressed by the Court. The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case. The Civil Court of the Superior Court of Cajamarca confirmed the above mentioned resolution and the plaintiff presented an appeal. On March 13, 2015, the Constitutional Court published its ruling stating that the case should be sent back to the first court with an order to formally admit the case and start the judicial process in order to review the claim and the proofs presented by the plaintiff. Yanacocha has answered the claim. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the outcome of this litigation. Yanacocha Tax Dispute. In 2000, Yanacocha paid Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. a total of $29 to assume their respective contractual positions in mining concession agreements with Chaupiloma Dos de Cajamarca S.M.R.L. The contractual rights​ allowed Yanacocha the opportunity to conduct exploration on the concessions, but not a purchase of the concessions. The tax authority alleges that the payments to Buenaventura and Minas Conga S.R.L. were acquisitions of mining concessions requiring the amortization of the amounts under the Peru Mining Law over the life of the mine. Yanacocha expensed the amounts at issue in the initial year since the payments were not for the acquisition of a concession but rather these expenses represent the payment of an intangible and therefore, amortizable in a single year or proportionally for up to ten years according to Income Tax Law. In 2010, the tax court in Peru ruled in favor of Yanacocha and the tax authority appealed the issue to the judiciary. The first appellate court confirmed the ruling of the tax court in favor of Yanacocha. However, in November 2015, a Superior Court in Peru made an appellate decision overturning the two prior findings in favor of Yanacocha. Yanacocha appealed the Superior Court ruling to the Peru Supreme Court. On January 18, 2019, the Peru Supreme Court issued notice that three judges support the position of the tax authority and two judges support the position of Yanacocha. Because four votes are required for a final decision, an additional judge was selected to issue a decision and the parties conducted oral arguments in April 2019. In early February 2020, the additional judge ruled in favor of the tax authority, finalizing a decision of the Peru Supreme Court against Yanacocha. As a result of the decision, the amount of $29 was recognized during the first quarter of 2020, but Yanacocha filed two actions objecting to potential excessive interest and duplicity of criteria of up to $60 and $81, respectively. It is not possible to fully predict the outcome of this litigation. NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc. In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”). Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 47% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada. NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG, among other things, that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Aurora faced no current environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement. On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on the Company, and then amended the complaint to add Newmont Canada Holdings ULC as a defendant. The complaint also named Fronteer Gold Inc. and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint sought rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. In August 2013 the Supreme Court of New York, New York County issued an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss on forum non conveniens. Subsequently, NWG filed a notice of appeal of the decision and then a notice of dismissal of the appeal on March 24, 2014. On February 26, 2014, NWG filed a lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Fronteer Gold Inc., Newmont Mining Corporation, Newmont Canada Holdings ULC, Newmont FH B.V. and Mark O’Dea. The Ontario complaint is based upon substantially the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and damages in the amount of C$1,200. Newmont, along with other defendants, served the plaintiff with its statement of defense on October 17, 2014. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.​ Newmont Ghana Gold Limited and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited On December 24, 2018, two individual plaintiffs, who are members of the Ghana Parliament (“Plaintiffs”), filed a writ to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. On January 16, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the Statement of Plaintiff’s Case outlining the details of the Plaintiff’s case and subsequently served Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (“NGGL”) and Newmont Golden Ridge Limited (“NGRL”) along with the other named defendants, the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana and 33 other mining companies with interests in Ghana. The Plaintiffs allege that under article 268 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana that the mining company defendants are not entitled to carry out any exploitation of minerals or other natural resources in Ghana, unless their respective transactions, contracts or concessions are ratified or exempted from ratification by the Parliament of Ghana. Newmont’s current mining leases are both ratified by Parliament; NGGL June 13, 2001 mining lease, ratified by Parliament on October 21, 2008, and NGRL January 19, 2010 mining lease; ratified by Parliament on December 3, 2015. The writ alleges that any mineral exploitation prior to Parliament ratification is unconstitutional. The Plaintiffs seek several remedies including: (i) a declaration as to the meaning of constitutional language at issue; (ii) an injunction precluding exploitation of minerals for any mining company without prior Parliament ratification; (iii) a declaration that all revenue as a result of violation of the Constitution shall be accounted for and recovered via cash equivalent; and (iv) an order that the Attorney General and Minerals Commission submit all un-ratified mining leases, undertakings or contracts to Parliament for ratification. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome. On December 18, 2019, an individual plaintiff filed a writ against NGGL and other named defendants, including the Attorney General of Ghana, the Minerals Commission of Ghana, and other mining companies with interests in Ghana, seeking the same relief sought in the above-referenced case, plus perpetual and interlocutory injunctive relief to cease operations against NGGL and the other mining companies. This case was dismissed on August 21, 2020. Goldcorp, Inc. 100% Newmont Owned Shareholder Action. On October 28, 2016 and February 14, 2017, separate proposed class actions were commenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act (Ontario) against the Company and certain of its current and former officers. Both statement of claims alleged common law negligent misrepresentation in Goldcorp, Inc.’s public disclosure concerning the Peñasquito mine and also pleaded an intention to seek leave from the Court to proceed with an allegation of statutory misrepresentation pursuant to the secondary market civil liability provisions under the Securities Act (Ontario). By a consent order, the latter lawsuit will proceed, and the former action has been stayed. The active lawsuit purports to be brought on behalf of persons who acquired Goldcorp Inc.’s securities in the secondary market during an alleged class period from October 30, 2014 to August 23, 2016. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome. Mexico Tax Matters Tax Reassessment from Mexican Tax Authority . During 2016, the Mexican Tax Authority issued reassessment notices for two of Goldcorp, Inc.’s Mexican subsidiaries primarily related to a reduction in the amount of deductible interest paid on related party debt by those subsidiaries during their 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, and the disallowance of certain intra company fees and expenses. The 2008 fiscal year notices reassessed an additional $11 of income tax, interest, and penalties. The 2009 fiscal year notices reassessed an additional $102 of income tax, interest and penalties relating to the reduction in the amount of deductible intra group interest payments. Settlement discussions continue to progress on these matters and the Company expects to reach a settlement by the end of the year for significantly less than the reassessment. A separate Mexican subsidiary of Goldcorp, Inc. received reassessments from the Mexican Tax Authority for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 and audit observations relating to fiscal years 2010 through 2017. Disputed items include the treatment of intercompany charges, interest on related party debt, deductibility of mine stripping costs and the gain recognized on the sale of the mine. In the second quarter of 2019, significant progress in settling a number of years and issues was made, resulting in $96 payment, which was fully accrued in the financial statements. In the first quarter of 2020, settlement was reached with the Mexican Tax Authority for 2008 through 2010 for an immaterial amount, with conversations continuing for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2014 through 2017. The outcome of these disputes is not readily determinable but could have a material impact on the Company. The Company believes that its tax positions are valid and intends to vigorously defend its tax filing positions. State of Zacatecas’ Ecological Tax. In December 2016, the State of Zacatecas in Mexico approved new environmental taxes that became effective January 1, 2017. Certain operations at the Company’s Peñasquito mine may be subject to these taxes. Payments are due monthly in arrears with the first payment due on February 17, 2017. Further, the Company believes that there is no legal basis for the taxes and filed legal claims challenging their constitutionality and legality on March 9, 2017. Other companies similarly situated also filed legal claims against the taxes. The Mexican federal government also filed a claim before the National Supreme Court against the State of Zacatecas challenging whether the State of Zacatecas had the​ constitutional authority to implement the taxes. On February 11, 2019, the National Supreme Court of Mexico ruled that the State of Zacatecas has the constitutional authority to implement environmental taxes, and that ruling was not subject to appeal. The Company’s case continued, and although there was an initial ruling in favor of the Company, this ruling was appealed by the local tax authorities. On October 15, 2019, the First Collegiate Circuit Court of the Auxiliary Center of the Eleventh Region reversed the favorable ruling (except with respect to one issue, which was affirmed in the Company’s favor). While the First Collegiate Circuit Court’s ruling is not subject to further appeal and the Company currently has no legal challenges active with the Mexican courts, the Company is nonetheless not able to calculate the environmental taxes with sufficient reliability given that: (a) the legislation is broadly worded and despite the years of inquiries, the State of Zacatecas has not put forward any guidance on how the tax would be levied; and (b) certain claims by other companies similarly situated are still being resolved by the Supreme Court, the results of which may change the taxes payable by the Company. The Company, along with other companies in the State of Zacatecas, is continuing to meet with governmental authorities to understand how the environmental tax would be levied and has recorded immaterial amounts as potential estimates for the amount of the taxes. Depending on the outcome of the continuing dialogue with the State of Zacatecas government, the amount of ecological taxes due may increase, but are not expected to be material. Other Commitments and Contingencies 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. In connection with our investment in Galore Creek, Newmont will owe NovaGold Resources Inc. $75 upon the earlier of approval to construct a mine, mill and all related infrastructure for the Galore Creek project or the initiation of construction of a mine, mill or any related infrastructure. The amount due is non-interest bearing. The decision for an approval and commencement of construction is contingent on the results of a prefeasibility and feasibility study, neither of which have occurred. As such, this amount has not been accrued. As part of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, Newmont assumed deferred payments to Barrick of $155 and $154 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, to be satisfied through funding a portion of Barrick’s share of project expenditures at the Norte Abierto project. ​ These deferred payments to Barrick are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities .

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
NEVADA GOLD MINES TRANSACTIONS	NEVADA GOLD MINES TRANSACTIONS On July 1, 2019, Newmont and Barrick consummated the Nevada JV Agreement and established NGM, which combined the Company’s Nevada mining operations with Barrick’s Nevada mining operations. The formation of NGM diversified the Company’s footprint in Nevada and allows the Company to pursue additional efficiencies through integrated mine planning and processing. As of the effective date, the Company contributed its existing Nevada mining operations, which included Carlin, Phoenix, Twin Creeks and Long Canyon, to NGM in exchange for a 38.5% interest in NGM. The interest received in NGM was accounted for at fair value, and accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $2,366 during the third quarter of 2019 as Gain on formation of Nevada Gold Mines . The gain represents the difference between the fair value of the Company’s interest in NGM and the carrying value of the Nevada mining operations contributed to NGM. Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes NGM revenue of $650 and $1,730 and NGM net income of $208 and $457 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Sales and Net income (loss) attributable to Newmont stockholders in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes NGM revenue of $492 and NGM net income of $79 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company billed NGM $2 and $8, respectively, for services provided under the transition services agreement.​ For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company billed NGM $4 for services provided under the transition services agreement.​ In addition, the Company purchases gold from NGM for resale to third parties. Gold purchases from NGM totaled $630 and $1,681 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Gold purchases from NGM totaled $488 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company billed NGM $102 for services provided under the employee lease agreement. The leasing period expired on December 31, 2019.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Risks and Uncertainties	Risks and Uncertainties As a global mining company, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing metal prices, primarily for gold, but also for copper, silver, lead and zinc. Historically, the commodity markets have been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that commodity prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that the Company can economically produce. The carrying value of the Company’s Property, plant and mine development , net; Inventories; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads; Investments; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in the Company’s price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets. In addition to changes in commodity prices, other factors such as changes in mine plans, increases in costs, geotechnical failures, changes in social, environmental or regulatory requirements, impacts of global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and management’s decision to sell or abandon a development project can adversely affect the Company’s ability to recover its investment in certain assets and result in impairment charges.​ During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. In response, the Company temporarily placed five sites into care and maintenance, including Musselwhite, Éléonore, Yanacocha and Cerro Negro in March 2020 and Peñasquito in April 2020. The Company worked closely with local stakeholders to resume operations at all five sites during the second quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2020, Musselwhite, Éléonore and Peñasquito were fully operational while Yanacocha has ramped up to near normal operations. Cerro Negro continues to operate at reduced levels while managing ongoing COVID-19 related travel restrictions and collaborating with local authorities and trade unions. The impact of this pandemic could include additional sites being placed into care and maintenance, significant COVID-19 specific costs, volatility in the prices for gold and other metals, logistical challenges shipping our products, delays in product refining and smelting due to restrictions or temporary closures, additional travel restrictions, other supply chain disruptions and workforce interruptions, including loss of life. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19, this could materially impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and could result in material impairment charges to the Company’s Property, plant and mine development, net ; Inventories ; Stockpiles and ore on leach pads ; Investments ; Deferred income tax assets; and Goodwill .
Use of Estimates	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting for and recognition and disclosure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses. The Company must make these estimates and assumptions because certain information used is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or simply cannot be readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Care and Maintenance	Care and Maintenance The Company incurs certain direct operating costs and depreciation and amortization costs when operations and projects are temporarily halted and placed in care and maintenance, as well as during the period an operation ramps back up from care and maintenance to a level of normal operations. Direct operating costs incurred while operations and projects are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Care and Maintenance as these costs do not benefit the productive process and are not related to sales. Depreciation and amortization costs incurred while operations are temporarily placed in care and maintenance are included in Depreciation and amortization .
Credit Losses	Credit Losses The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, on January 1, 2020. Changes to the Company’s accounting policy as a result of adoption are discussed below.
Investments	Investments Management classifies investments at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is a change in the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence. The Company accounts for its investments in stock of other entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control, using the equity method of accounting. The ability to exercise significant influence is typically presumed when the Company possesses 20% or more of the voting interests in the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company increases its investment for contributions made and records its proportionate share of net earnings, declared dividends and partnership distributions based on the most recently available financial statements of the investee. In addition, the Company evaluates its equity method investments for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an other-than-temporary decline in the value of the investment. Declines in fair value that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to Other Income, net . Equity method investments are included in Investments . Additionally, the Company has certain marketable equity and debt securities. Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recorded in Other income, net . The Company accounts for its restricted marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale ("AFS") investments, net of taxes, are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Total equity , unless an impairment is deemed to be credit-related. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet with a corresponding charge to Other Income, net
Reclamation and Remediation Costs	Reclamation and Remediation Costs Reclamation obligations are recognized when incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and amortized over the life of the related asset. Reclamation costs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. Changes in reclamation estimates at mines that are not currently operating, as the mine or portion of the mine site has entered the closure phase and has no substantive future economic value, are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. The estimated reclamation obligation is based on when spending for an existing disturbance is expected to occur. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the reclamation obligation at each mine site in accordance with ASC guidance for asset retirement obligations. Remediation costs are accrued based on management’s best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates may include ongoing care, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in remediation estimates are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised. Water treatment costs included in environmental remediation obligations are discounted to their present value as cash flows are readily estimable. All other costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules Credit Losses In June 2016, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $5 to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Capitalization of Certain Cloud Computing Implementation Costs In August 2018, ASU No. 2018-15 was issued which allows for the capitalization for certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. Supplemental Guarantor Financial Statements In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) finalized its proposed updates to Rule 3-10 within Regulation S-X, Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize a Registrant’s Securities (the “Rule”). The Rule simplifies the disclosure requirements for issuers and guarantors of securities that are registered or being registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Rule also eliminates the requirement to disclose condensed consolidating financial information within the financial statements for qualifying entities and permits abbreviated disclosures of the guarantor/issuer relationship within Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Rule is effective on January 4, 2021 and voluntary compliance prior to the effective date is permitted. The Company adopted the Rule effective January 1, 2020 and, as such, no longer includes condensed consolidating financial information within Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements. Abbreviated disclosures regarding the nature and relationship of debt guarantor/issuer relationships can now be found in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis under Liquidity and Capital Resources, Supplemental Guarantor Information. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Accounting for Equity Securities, Investments and Certain Forward Contracts and Options In January 2020, ASU No. 2020-01 was issued which clarifies the interaction in accounting for equity securities under Topic 321, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures. The Company anticipates adopting the new guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2021. Effects of Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, ASU No. 2020-04 was issued which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden on accounting for contract modifications caused by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The guidance may be adopted over time as reference rate reform activities occur and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company is still completing its evaluation of the impact of ASU 2020-04 and plans to elect optional expedients as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Schedule of acquisition date transaction components	The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following: Newmont stock issued (285 million shares at $33.04 per share) $ 9,423 Cash paid to Goldcorp shareholders 17 Other non-cash consideration 16 Total consideration $ 9,456
Summary of purchase price allocation	The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation for the Newmont Goldcorp transaction: Assets: ​ Cash and cash equivalents $ 117 Trade receivables 95 Investments 169 Equity method investments (1) 2,796 Inventories 500 Stockpiles and ore on leach pads 57 Property, plant & mine development (2) 11,054 Goodwill (3) 2,550 Deferred income tax assets (4) 206 Other assets 508 Total assets 18,052 ​ Liabilities: Debt (5) 3,304 Accounts payable 240 Employee-related benefits 190 Income and mining taxes payable 20 Lease and other financing obligations 423 Reclamation and remediation liabilities (6) 897 Deferred income tax liabilities (4) 1,430 Silver streaming agreement (7) 1,165 Other liabilities (8) 927 Total liabilities 8,596 Net assets acquired $ 9,456 ____________________________ (1) The fair value of the equity method investments was determined by applying the income valuation method. The income valuation method relies on a discounted cash flow model and projected financial results. Discount rates for the discounted cash flow models are based on capital structures for similar market participants and included various risk premiums that account for risks associated with the specific investments. (2) The fair value of property, plant and mine development is based on applying the income and cost valuation methods and includes a provision for the estimated fair value of asset retirement obligations related to the long-lived tangible assets. (3) Goodwill attributable to the North America and South America reportable segments is $2,091 and $459, respectively. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company reclassified $84 of goodwill previously allocated to the Red Lake reporting unit, and included in Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019, to other reporting units in the North America reportable segment as a result of refinements to deferred tax liability allocations during the first quarter that existed at the acquisition date. The Company disposed $47 of goodwill remaining at Red Lake on March 31, 2020 as part of the Red Lake Sale. See Note 9 for additional information. (4) Deferred income tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax benefit or future tax expense associated with the differences between the fair value allocated to assets (excluding goodwill) and liabilities and the historical carryover tax basis of these assets and liabilities. No deferred tax liability is recognized for the basis difference inherent in the fair value allocated to goodwill. (5) The fair value of the Goldcorp Senior Notes is measured using a market approach, based on quoted prices for the acquired debt; $1,250 of borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit agreements approximate fair value. (6) The fair value of reclamation and remediation liabilities is based on the expected amounts and timing of cash flows for closure activities and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the acquisition date. Key assumptions include the costs and timing of key closure activities based on the life of mine plans, including estimates and timing of monitoring and water management costs (if applicable) after the completion of initial closure activities. (7) The fair value of the acquired silver streaming intangible liability is valued by using the income valuation method. Key assumptions in the income valuation method include long-term silver prices, level of silver production over the life of mine and discount rates. (8) Other liabilities includes the balance of $450 related to unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties.
Schedule of pro-forma financial information	The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents consolidated results assuming the Goldcorp acquisition occurred on January 1, 2019. ​ Nine Months Ended ​ 2019 Sales $ 7,501 Net income (loss) (1) $ 2,101 ____________________________ (1) Included in Net income (loss) is $228 of Newmont Goldcorp transaction and integration costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
