BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed on June 13, 2014 on Form 8-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency and “NZ$” to New Zealand currency.
	On February 18, 2014 the Company redeemed all outstanding exchangeable shares (other than those held by Newmont and its affiliates). On the date of the redemption, holders of exchangeable shares received, in exchange for each exchangeable share, one share of common stock of Newmont. At December 31, 2013, the value of the remaining outstanding exchangeable shares was included in Additional paid-in capital and Common shares.
	Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Risks and Uncertainties
	As a global mining company, our revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for gold, copper and, to a lesser extent, silver. 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 our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that we can economically produce. The carrying value of our property, plant and mine development assets, inventories, stockpiles and ore on leach pads, and deferred tax assets are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices. A decline in our long term price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.
	We are currently subject to an export ban at our Batu Hijau copper mine in Indonesia. In early 2014, the Indonesian government issued new regulations that impose new export conditions, an export duty and a January 2017 ban on the export of copper concentrate, all of which violate the Contract of Work signed by the Government of Indonesia and PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) and the bilateral investment treaty between Indonesia and the Netherlands. While the 2009 mining law preserves the validity of PTNNT’s Contract of Work (the investment agreement entered into by PTNNT and the Indonesian government in 1986, which includes the right to export copper concentrates and a prohibition against new taxes, duties, and levies), the Indonesian government has stated its intention to enforce the new regulations on PTNNT’s operations and has not yet recognized PTNNT’s rights to export copper concentrate and only pay the taxes, duties, and levies specified in the Contract of Work. The Company believes that these new 2014 regulations conflict with the Contract of Work. Although PTNNT is continuing to engage with government officials in Indonesia in an effort to resolve this issue and gain clarity on implementation of the new regulations, the Company can make no assurances that the new regulations will not continue to impact operations or outlook for the Batu Hijau operation for an extended period. In June 2014, the Company invoked the force majeure clause in its Contract of Work due to these export issues and placed the Batu Hijau operations on care and maintenance. In July 2014, the Company filed international arbitration against the Government of Indonesia.
	As a result of placing the Batu Hijau copper mine on care and maintenance, we have evaluated, and will continue to evaluate, the need for asset impairments, inventory write-downs, tax valuation allowances and other applicable accounting charges due to the status of the mine. PTNNT will continue to incur various costs during the care and maintenance period.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	Discontinued Operations
	In April 2014, ASC guidance was issued related to Discontinued Operations which changed the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. The updated guidance requires an entity to only classify discontinued operations due to a major strategic shift or a major effect on an entity’s operations in the financial statements. The updated guidance will also require additional disclosures relating to discontinued operations. The Company early adopted this guidance prospectively at the beginning of fiscal year January 1, 2014. Adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The updated guidance requires an entity to net its unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carryforwards are not available or would not be used by the entity to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax position. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Foreign Currency Matters
	In March 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to foreign currency matters to clarify the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	Stock based compensation
	In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the accounting for stock based performance awards that the performance target could be achieved after the employee completes the required service period. The update is effective prospectively or retrospectively beginning January 1, 2015. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

SEGMENT INFORMATION	'
	NOTE 3 SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Company’s reportable segments are based upon the Company’s management structure that is focused on the geographic region for the Company’s operations. Geographic regions include North America, South America, Australia/New Zealand, Indonesia, Africa and Corporate and Other. Segment results for 2013 have been retrospectively revised to reflect a change in our reportable segments to align with a change in the chief operating decision makers’ evaluation of the organization, effective in the first quarter of 2014. The Nevada operations have been revised to reflect Carlin, Phoenix, and Twin Creeks segments and Other Australia/New Zealand operations have been revised to reflect Tanami, Jundee, Waihi and Kalgoorlie segments. The Conga development project will be reported in the Other South America segment. The Nimba and Merian development projects, historically reported in Other Africa and Other South America, respectively, will be reported in Corporate and Other. The financial information relating to the Company’s segments for all periods presented have been updated to reflect these changes.
	On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Jundee underground gold mine in Australia to Northern Star Resources Limited for total proceeds of approximately $94. As of June 30, 2014, total assets and total liabilities were $119 and $50, respectively.

	Write-downs totaled $13 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and $2,261 and $2,262 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The 2014 write-downs are primarily related to non-essential equipment in Other South America. The 2013 write-downs were primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s long-term gold and copper price assumptions during the second quarter to $1,400 per ounce and $3.00 per pound, respectively, combined with rising operating costs. These factors represented significant changes in the business, requiring the Company to evaluate for impairment. For purposes of this evaluation, estimates of future cash flows of the individual reporting units were used to determine fair value. The estimated cash flows were derived from life-of-mine plans, developed using long-term pricing reflective of the current price environment and projections for operating costs.
	Due to the above conditions in 2013, Goodwill was included in the Company’s impairment analysis. After-tax discounted future cash flows of reporting units with Goodwill were analyzed. Goodwill had a carrying value of $188 at December 31, 2012. As a result of this evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment of $56 at Tanami, resulting in a carrying value of $132 at June 30, 2013.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
INCOME AND MINING TAXES	'
	NOTE 8 INCOME AND MINING TAXES
	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an estimated income and mining tax benefit of $53, resulting in an effective tax rate of (58)%. Estimated income and mining tax benefit during the second quarter of 2013 was $287 for an effective tax rate of 12%. During the first half of 2014, the estimated income and mining tax expense was $25, resulting in an effective tax rate of 10%. Estimated income and mining tax benefit during the first half of 2013 was $107 for an effective tax rate of 7%.
	The Company’s income and mining tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:
		Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
		2014						2013						2014						2013
	Income (loss) before income and mining tax and other items				$	92					$	(2,631	)				$	235					$	(2,091	)
	Tax at statutory rate		35	%	$	32			35	%	$	(921	)		35	%	$	82			35	%	$	(732	)

	Mining and other Taxes		5	%		5			(1	)%		18			3	%		8			(1	)%		36
	Disallowed loss on Midas Sale					—						—			6	%		13						—
	Effect of foreign earnings, net of credits		3	%		3			(1	)%		20			4	%		9			(1	)%		16
	Other		1	%		1			3	%		(75	)		2	%		5			3	%		(62	)
	Income and mining tax expense (benefit)		(58	)%	$	(53	)		12	%	$	(287	)		10	%	$	25			7	%	$	(107	)
	The difference in effective tax rates is due to the following: (i) a 2014 release of valuation allowance on some of the Company’s tax credits related to the settlement of an income tax audit (ii) a larger impact in 2014 from percentage depletion, partially offset by (iii) a 2014 increase in the rate associated with mining taxes.
	A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, each quarter the Company considers future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimated future taxable income, taxable income in prior carryback year(s), as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction to determine if the deferred tax assets are realizable. If it is determined that the Company will not realize all or a portion of its deferred tax assets, it will place or increase a valuation allowance. Conversely, if determined that it will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced. There are a number of risk factors that could impact the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Risks and Uncertainties.
	The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and pay the income taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved.
	At June 30, 2014, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $396 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $33 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.
	As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $5 to $10 in the next 12 months.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS	'
	NOTE 9 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
	Discontinued operations include Holloway Mining Company, which owned the Holt-McDermott property (“Holt property”) that was sold to St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) in 2006. In 2009, the Superior Court issued a decision finding Newmont Canada Corporation (“Newmont Canada”) liable for a sliding scale royalty on production from the Holt property, which was upheld in 2011 by the Ontario Court of Appeal. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $2, net of tax benefits of $1, related to a decrease in discount rates offset by a decrease in gold price. During the first half of 2014, the Company recorded a charge from discontinued operations of $19, net of tax benefit of $9, related to an increase in gold price, an increase in expected future production and a decrease in discount rates. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a benefit of $74, net of tax expense of $34, related to a decline in the gold spot price and an increase in discount rates. During the first half of 2013, the Company recorded a benefit from discontinued operations of $74, net of tax expense of $34, related to a decline in the gold spot price and an increase in discount rates.
	Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $6 and $11 in the first half of 2014 and 2013 respectively relates to payments on the Holt property royalty.

	Options to purchase 3 and 4 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $48 and $48 were outstanding at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their exercise prices exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock for the respective periods presented.
	Other outstanding options to purchase 1 million shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares in the second quarter and first half of 2013 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
	Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of its 2014 and 2017 Convertible Senior Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion premium (average share price in excess of the conversion price), if any, in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with ASC guidance. The conversion price exceeded the Company’s share price for the periods presented, therefore no additional shares were included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	'
	NOTE 15 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
	The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company continues to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market. All of the derivative instruments described below were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow hedges.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The foreign currency and diesel contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified to income during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales
The Company’s provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $3.08 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.12 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.14 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.13 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $6 ($0.14 per pound) and loss of $11 ($0.13 per pound), respectively. At June 30, 2014, Newmont had copper sales of 48 million pounds priced at an average of $3.15 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.
The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,288 per ounce during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,287 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,291 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,290 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 there was minimal fluctuation in the gold price, resulting in a provisional pricing mark-to-market close to nil. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, changes in gold prices resulted in a gain of $5 ($2 per ounce). At June 30, 2014, Newmont had gold sales of 54,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,311 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	'
	NOTE 26 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	General
	The Company follows ASC guidance in accounting for loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
	Operating Segments
	The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 26 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the Yanacocha reportable segment. The Minera Penmont matters relate to the La Herradura reporting segment. The PTNNT matters relate to the Batu Hijau reportable segment.
	Environmental Matters
	The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.
	Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1,457 and $1,432, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $62 and $66 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities.
	In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $165 and $179 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 140% greater or 1% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2014. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.
	Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.
	Newmont Mining Corporation
	Empire Mine. On July 19, 2012, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (“Parks”) served Newmont, New Verde Mines LLC, Newmont North America Exploration Limited, Newmont Realty Company and Newmont USA Limited with a complaint for damages and declaratory relief under CERCLA, specifically for costs associated with water treatment at the Empire Mine State Park and for a declaration that Newmont is liable for past and future response costs, as well as indemnification to Parks. In 1975 Parks purchased the Empire Mine site in Grass Valley, California from Newmont to create a historic state park featuring the mining of the Empire Mine. Parks has operated the Empire Mine Site for over 35 years. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter.
	Newmont USA Limited—100% Newmont Owned
	Ross-Adams Mine Site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.
	Hope Bay Mining Ltd.—100% Newmont Owned
	In July 2011 Environment Canada Enforcement Officers discovered a release of drill water containing calcium chloride on Hope Bay Mining Ltd. (“HBML”) property in Nunavut, Canada. Orbit Garant Drilling Inc. (“Orbit”) operated a diamond drill rig on the HBML property. On February 13, 2013, HBML received service of a summons and charges from a Judge for Nunavut alleging violation of the Fisheries Act relating to the release of drill water and alleged failure to report a discharge. Orbit operated the drill at issue in the summons. On June 17, 2014, the Crown withdrew all charges against HBML and Orbit following a Cambridge Bay, Canada community meeting to discuss the discovered release and response actions, publication of facts relating to the release and response actions in local community newspapers and contribution of $.075 by each HBML and Orbit to the Environmental Damages Fund administered by Environment Canada.
	Other Legal Matters
	Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”)—51.35% Newmont Owned
	Choropampa. In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.
	Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 23 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered into between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. All appeals were referred to the Civil Court of Cajamarca, which affirmed the decisions of the lower court judge. The plaintiffs have filed appeals of such orders before the Supreme Court. Some of these appeals were dismissed by the Supreme Court in favor of Yanacocha, and others are pending resolution. Yanacocha will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.
	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. In 2011, 2012, and 2013, OEFA issued notices of alleged violations of OEFA standards to Yanacocha and Conga relating to past inspections. In April 2013, OEFA issued a finding and penalty with respect to three 2008 allegations in the amount of $0.1, and another finding and penalty in June 2014 with respect to 2011 allegations in the amount of $.071. OEFA issued notice of additional alleged violations of OEFA standards in October 2013. Total fines for all outstanding OEFA alleged violations remain dependent upon the number of units associated with the alleged violations. The alleged violations currently range from zero to 96,156 units, with each unit having a potential fine equivalent to approximately $.00136. Yanacocha and Conga are responding to all notices of alleged violations, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the agency allegations.
	Minera Penmont- 44% Newmont Owned
	Newmont owns a 44% interest in the La Herradura joint venture and related gold properties (Herradura, Soledad-Dipolos and Noche Buena), which are located in the Sonora desert. La Herradura is operated by Fresnillo PLC (“Fresnillo”) through Minera Penmont S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Minera Penmont”) and Fresnillo owns the remaining 56% interest. Soledad-Dipolos commenced operations in January 2010. In 2009 five members of the El Bajio agrarian community in the state of Sonora (the “Claimants”), who claim rights over certain surface land in the proximity of the operations of Minera Penmont, lodged a legal claim with the Unitarian Agrarian Court of Hermosillo, Sonora to have Minera Penmont vacate an area of this surface land and associated claims. The land in dispute encompasses a portion of surface area where part of the operations of Dipolos, one of Minera Penmont’s three operating mines, is located as well as the processing plant for both the Dipolos mine and the Soledad mine. Minera Penmont’s mining concessions are held by way of separate title to that relating to the surface land. In September 2012, the Claimants obtained a ruling on the surface property dispute in their favor by the Mexican Supreme Court and in July 2013, a magistrate ordered Minera Penmont to vacate the property at issue, requiring cessation of production at the Dipolos operations. Minera Penmont has presented several claims and counterclaims in vigorous defense of this matter. Claimants also obtained temporary suspension of all of Minera Penmont’s explosives permits. On February 26, 2014, Fresnillo announced that the Mexican Ministry of Defense granted an explosives permit for the Herradura and Noche Buena mining units; thereby enabling the re-establishment of mining operations.
	PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) – 31.5% Newmont Owned
	Divestiture: Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares were required to be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, owned a 20% interest in PTNNT at all relevant times, in 2006, a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and, in each of 2007 through 2010, an additional 7% interest was required to be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interests were offered for sale to the Indonesian parties was the fair market value of such interest considering PTNNT as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Following certain disputes and an arbitration with the Indonesian government, in November and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were sold to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”), the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were sold to PTMDB in February 2010, resulting in PTMDB owning a 24% interest in PTNNT.
	On December 17, 2010, the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, acting on behalf of the Indonesian government, accepted the offer to acquire the final 7% interest in PTNNT. Subsequently, the Indonesian government designated Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (“PIP”), an agency of the Ministry of Finance, as the entity that will buy the final stake. On May 6, 2011, PIP and the foreign shareholders entered into a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of the final 7% divestiture stake, subject to receipt of approvals from certain Indonesian government ministries. Subsequent to signing the agreement, a disagreement arose between the Ministry of Finance and the Indonesian parliament in regard to whether parliamentary approval was needed to allow PIP to make the share purchase. In July 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that parliament approval is required for PIP to use state funds to purchase the shares, which approval has not yet been obtained. Further disputes may arise in regard to the divestiture of the 2010 shares.
	WALHI: In September 2011, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (‘WALHI”) brought an administrative law claim against Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment to challenge the May 2011 renewal of PTNNT’s submarine tailings permit. PTNNT and the regional government of KSB (“KSB”) filed separate applications for intervention into the proceedings, both of which were accepted by the Administrative Court. KSB intervened on the side of WALHI, and PTNNT joined on the side of the Ministry of Environment. On April 3, 2012, the Administrative Court ruled in favor of the Ministry of Environment and PTNNT, finding that the Ministry of Environment properly renewed the permit in accordance with Indonesian law and regulations. WALHI appealed the verdict. On October 2, 2012, the High Administrative Law Court rejected WALHI’s appeal, after which WALHI filed a notice to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. On May 28, 2013, the Supreme Court of Indonesia updated its website to provide that WALHI’s appeal in this matter was rejected. The parties are still awaiting the written decision from the court. PTNNT will continue to defend its submarine tailings permit and is confident that the Ministry of Environment acted properly in renewing PTNNT’s permit.
	Export Issue: On June 27, 2014, PTNNT and its majority shareholder Nusa Tenggara Partnership B.V. (“NTPBV,” a Dutch entity) submitted a request for arbitration to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) against the Government of Indonesia seeking relief from application of recent Indonesian export regulations. The recent export regulations impose new export conditions, an export duty and a January 2017 ban on the export of copper concentrate, all of which violate the Contract of Work signed by the Government of Indonesia and PTNNT and the bilateral investment treaty between Indonesia and the Netherlands. PTNNT and NTPBV intend to request provisional measures of the ICSID tribunal seeking to allow PTNNT to resume exporting copper concentrate under the existing terms of the Contract of Work during the pendency of the arbitration. PTNNT and NTPBV intend to vigorously pursue this action, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
	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 42% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.
	NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Fronteer was not aware of any obstacle to doing so, that Aurora faced no serious environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced greater delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.
	On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on NMC, 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, 2013.
	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 the same allegations contained in the New York lawsuit with claims for fraud and negligent misrepresentation. NWG seeks disgorgement of profits since the close of the NWG deal on September 24, 2007 and punitive damages.
	Newmont intends to vigorously defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.
	Other Commitments and Contingencies
	Tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with ASC income tax guidance (see Note 8).
	The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $30 in 2014, $34 in 2015 through 2018 and $323 thereafter.
	As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were $1,835 and $1,807, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.
	Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Risks and Uncertainties	'
	Risks and Uncertainties
	As a global mining company, our revenue, profitability and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for gold, copper and, to a lesser extent, silver. 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 our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, access to capital and on the quantities of reserves that we can economically produce. The carrying value of our Property, plant and mine development assets, inventories, stockpiles and ore on leach pads, and deferred tax assets are particularly sensitive to the outlook for commodity prices and the resolution of the export issue in Indonesia discussed below. An unfavorable resolution to the Indonesian export issue (as described below) or a decline in our long term price outlook from current levels could result in material impairment charges related to these assets.
	We are currently subject to an export ban at our Batu Hijau copper mine in Indonesia. In early 2014, the Indonesian government issued new regulations that impose new export conditions, an export duty and a January 2017 ban on the export of copper concentrate, all of which violate the Contract of Work signed by the Government of Indonesia and PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) and the bilateral investment treaty between Indonesia and the Netherlands. While the 2009 mining law preserves the validity of PTNNT’s Contract of Work (the investment agreement entered into by PTNNT and the Indonesian government in 1986, which includes the right to export copper concentrates and a prohibition against new taxes, duties, and levies), the Indonesian government has stated its intention to enforce the new regulations on PTNNT’s operations and has not yet recognized PTNNT’s rights to export copper concentrate and only pay the taxes, duties, and levies specified in the Contract of Work. The Company believes that these new 2014 regulations conflict with the Contract of Work. Although PTNNT is continuing to engage with government officials in Indonesia in an effort to resolve this issue and gain clarity on implementation of the new regulations, while also considering other remedies, including possible legal action, the Company can make no assurances that the new regulations will not continue to impact operations or outlook for these operations for an extended period. In June 2014, the Company invoked the force majeure clause in its Contract of Work due to these export issues and placed the Batu Hijau operations on care and maintenance. In July 2014, the Company filed international arbitration against the Government of Indonesia.
	As a result of placing the Batu Hijau copper mine on care and maintenance, we have evaluated, and will continue to evaluate, the need for asset impairments, inventory write-downs, tax valuation allowances and other applicable accounting changes due to the status of the mine.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	Discontinued Operations
	In April 2014, ASC guidance was issued related to Discontinued Operations which changed the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modified related disclosure requirements. The updated guidance requires an entity to only classify discontinued operations due to a major strategic shift or a major effect on an entity’s operations in the financial statements. The updated guidance will also require additional disclosures relating to discontinued operations. The Company early adopted this guidance prospectively at the beginning of fiscal year January 1, 2014. Adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The updated guidance requires an entity to net its unrecognized tax benefits against the deferred tax assets for all same jurisdiction net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforwards. A gross presentation will be required only if such carryforwards are not available or would not be used by the entity to settle any additional income taxes resulting from disallowance of the uncertain tax position. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Foreign Currency Matters
	In March 2013, ASC guidance was issued related to foreign currency matters to clarify the treatment of cumulative translation adjustments when a parent sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. The updated guidance also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages in a foreign entity. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2014, had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	Stock based compensation
	In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the accounting for stock based performance awards that the performance target could be achieved after the employee completes the required service period. The update is effective prospectively or retrospectively beginning January 1, 2015. The Company does not expect the updated guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
