 NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
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 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed February 21, 2008.
References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency, “IDR” to Indonesian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency and “$” to United States currency.
Certain amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation. The most significant reclassifications were to reclassify the income statement results from the historical presentation to Income from discontinued operations . Additionally, the Company reclassified the World Gold Council dues from General and administrative to Other expense, net , reclassified Accretion from Costs applicable to sales to a separate Accretion line item, reclassified regional administrative and community development from Costs applicable to sales to Other expense, net and reclassified marketing costs from Costs applicable to sales to General and administrative . The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have also been reclassified for discontinued operations. These changes were reflected for all periods presented.
NOTE 2    ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Accounting
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 were adopted January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position No. 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.
FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:
 
 	Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;	
 
 	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;	
 
 	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).

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
 
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by FAS 157, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 	  	Fair Value at March 31, 2008	
	  	Total	  	Level 1	  	Level 2	  	Level 3	
Assets:	  			  			  			  			
Cash equivalents	  	$	61	  	$	61	  	$	—	  	$	—	
Marketable equity securities	  	 	1,501	  	 	1,501	  	 	—	  	 	—	
Marketable debt securities	  	 	33	  	 	—	  	 	4	  	 	29	
Derivative instruments, net	  	 	26	  	 	—	  	 	26	  	 	—	
	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	
	  	$	1,621	  	$	1,562	  	$	30	  	$	29	
	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	
Liabilities:	  			  			  			  			
8  5 / 8 % debentures	  	$	95	  	$	—	  	$	95	  	$	—	
	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	
The Company’s cash instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.
The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.
The Company’s marketable debt securities include investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The auction rate securities are valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. The Company determined the fair value based on indicative pricing from the underwriting bank. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The asset backed commercial paper falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because it trades infrequently and has little price transparency.
The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company’s derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s 8  5 / 8 % uncollateralized debentures have a principal amount of $223 due May 2011. The Company has fixed to floating swap contracts to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on $100 of these debentures. The hedged portion of the Company’s 8  5 / 8 % debentures are valued using pricing models which require inputs, including risk-free interest rates and credit spreads. Because the inputs are derived from observable market data, the hedged portion of the 8  5 / 8 % debentures is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
 
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets (asset backed commercial paper) for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Balance at beginning of period	  	$	 31	 	
Unrealized losses	  	 	(2	)	
	  	 	 	 	
Balance at end of period	  	$	29	 	
	  	 	 	 	
The total amount of unrealized losses for the period was included in Accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates from December 31, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The provisions of FAS 159 were adopted January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect the Fair Value Option for any of its financial assets or liabilities, and therefore, the adoption of FAS 159 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards
In June 2007, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 requires that the tax benefit related to dividend and dividend equivalents paid on equity-classified nonvested shares and nonvested share units, which are expected to vest, be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 was to be applied prospectively for tax benefits on dividends declared in the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of EITF 06-11 had an insignificant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
Derivative Instruments
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on the Company’s derivative instrument disclosures.
Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”) which amends FAS 141, and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
 
acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. FAS 160 also requires that the reporting company clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. FAS 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments
In September 2007, the FASB published Proposed FSP No. APB 14-a “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (the “Proposed FSP”). The Proposed FSP applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB Statement No. 133. Convertible debt instruments within the scope of the Proposed FSP are not addressed by the existing APB 14. The Proposed FSP would require that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of the Proposed FSP shall be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This will require an allocation of the convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component would be reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instrument’s expected life using the effective interest method. If the Proposed FSP is adopted, the Company estimates that approximately $300 of debt discount would be recorded and the effective interest rate on our 2014 and 2017 convertible senior notes (see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) would increase by approximately 5 percentage points to 6.25% and 6.625%, respectively, for the non-cash amortization of the debt discount.

NOTE 6    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognized stock option and other stock based compensation as follows:

No stock option awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. At March 31, 2008, there was $15 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized on a weighted-average basis for a period of approximately 1.5 years.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 107,920 and 141,828 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were granted and issued, at the weighted-average fair market value of $49 and $45, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 5,072 and 20,212 shares of restricted stock units, respectively, were granted, at the weighted-average fair market value of $49 and $45, respectively, per underlying share of the Company’s common stock.
No deferred stock awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
NOTE 7    INCOME TAXES
The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and paid the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved. At March 31, 2008, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $132 for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. Of this, $84 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. Also included in the balance at March 31, 2008 are $3 of tax positions that, due to the impact of deferred tax accounting, the disallowance of which would not affect the annual effective tax rate.

Newmont has a 45% ownership interest in the Batu Hijau mine, held through the Nusa Tenggara partnership (“NTP”) with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan (“Sumitomo”). Newmont has a 56.25% interest in NTP and the Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), the Indonesian subsidiary that operates the Batu Hijau mine. Newmont identified NTP as a Variable Interest Entity as a result of certain capital structures and contractual relationships and has fully consolidated Batu Hijau in its consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2004. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company. Because PTPI’s interest was a carried interest, and because PTPI had been advanced a loan by NTP, Newmont reported a 52.875% economic interest in Batu Hijau at March 31, 2007, which reflected its actual economic interest in the mine until such time as the loan was fully repaid (including accrued interest). On May 25, 2007, PTPI fully repaid the loan (including accrued interest) from NTP. As a result of the loan repayment, Newmont’s economic interest in Batu Hijau was reduced from 52.875% to 45%.
Newmont has a 51.35% ownership interest in the Yanacocha mine with the remaining interests held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the International Finance Corporation (5%).
NOTE 9    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations include the Company’s royalty portfolio and Pajingo operations, both sold in December 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a $7 gain primarily related to additional royalty portfolio revenue in excess of the 2007 estimate and a $2 gain related to Pajingo asset sales. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company received $5 in cash and $5 in marketable securities related to the Pajingo asset sales. The Company has reclassified the balance sheet amounts and the income statement results from the historical presentation to Assets and Liabilities of operations held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and to Income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified for assets held for sale and discontinued operations for all periods presented.

NOTE 10    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, gains of $3 and losses of $2, respectively, were included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The amount to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income , net of tax to income for derivative instruments during the next 12 months is a gain of approximately $12. The maximum period over which hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur is 3 years.
Foreign Currency Contracts
Newmont has entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to hedge the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in currency rates. Newmont entered into $/IDR forward purchase contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year which reduced Costs applicable to sales by $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. During the third quarter of 2007, Newmont began a layered fixed forward contract program to hedge a portion of its A$ denominated operating expenditures and during the first quarter of 2008 began a layered fixed forward contract program to hedge a portion of its NZ$ denominated operating expenditures. The programs include a series of fixed forward contracts with expiration dates of up to three years from the date of issue. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the A$ and NZ$ operating hedge programs reduced Costs applicable to sales by $1 and $nil, respectively. All of the currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, Newmont began a program to hedge a portion of its A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of the Boddington project. The program consists of a series of fixed forward contracts and bought call option contracts with expiration dates of up to one year from the date of issue. The A$ denominated contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future Boddington capital expenditures, and as such, changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income . The realized gains and losses associated with the capital expenditure hedge program will impact Amortization during future periods in which the Boddington joint venture assets are placed into service and affect earnings.

At March 31, 2008, Newmont had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of its $223 8  5 / 8 % debentures expiring in 2011. Under the hedge contract terms, the Company receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, these transactions had an insignificant impact on interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $7 and $4 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
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 copper concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price 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.

NOTE 13    ACQUISITIONS
On December 27, 2007, pursuant to a tender offer dated October 9, 2007, the Company purchased 155 million common shares of Miramar Mining Corporation (“Miramar”). The 155 million shares represented approximately 70% of the common shares of Miramar which, in addition to the 18.5 million shares previously owned by the Company, brought the Company’s interest in Miramar to approximately 78%. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company completed the acquisition by purchasing the remaining 50 million shares, bringing the Company’s interest in Miramar to 100%. All shares were purchased for C$6.25 in cash.
With the completion of the Miramar acquisition, the Company controls the Hope Bay project, a large undeveloped gold project in Nunavut, Canada. The Hope Bay Project is consistent with the Company’s strategic focus on exploration and project development and was acquired with the intention of adding higher grade ore reserves and developing a new core gold mining district in a AAA-rated country.
In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price paid has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the respective closing dates. The Company is continuing to evaluate the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and there may be adjustments to the estimated purchase date fair values. The Company will finalize the purchase price allocation in 2008. The preliminary purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

Assets:	  			
Cash and cash equivalents	  	$	38	
Property, plant and mine development, net	  	 	1,865	
Investments	  	 	40	
Deferred income tax asset	  	 	94	
Other assets	  	 	36	
	  	 	 	
	  	$	2,073	
	  	 	 	
Liabilities:	  			
Accrued liabilities	  	$	41	
Deferred income tax liabilities	  	 	679	
	  	 	 	
	  	 	720	
	  	 	 	
Net assets acquired	  	$	1,353	
	  	 	 	
The results of operations for Miramar have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Hope Bay project incurred a pre-tax loss of $3, primarily related to advanced projects, salaries and general and administrative costs. See Note 21 for more information on the Hope Bay segment.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
 
NOTE 23    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
The Company follows FAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies other than tax contingencies provided for in accordance with FIN 48 (see Note 7). Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable (greater than a 75% probability) that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Operating Segments
The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 21. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 23 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Nevada Operations matters under Newmont USA Limited relate to the Nevada reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya matters relate to the Other Operations reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the Yanacocha reportable segment. The Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Limited and the Mt. Leyshon matters relate to the Australia/New Zealand reportable segment. The P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, $570 and $569, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to mineral properties in accordance with FAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The current portions of $55 and $57 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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, $123 and $125 were accrued for such obligations at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. 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 63% greater or 17% lower than the amount accrued at December 31, 2007. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Other expense, net in the period estimates are revised.
Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.
Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”)—51% Newmont Owned
Midnite Mine Site.  Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).
In 1991, Dawn’s mining lease at the mine was terminated. As a result, Dawn was required to file a formal mine closure and reclamation plan. The Department of Interior commenced an analysis of Dawn’s proposed plan and alternate closure and reclamation plans for the mine. Work on this analysis has been suspended indefinitely. In mid-2000, the mine was included on the National Priorities List under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). In March 2003, the EPA notified Dawn and Newmont that it had thus far expended $12 on the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) under CERCLA. In October 2005, the EPA issued the RI/FS on this property in which it indicated a preferred remedy estimated to cost approximately $150. Newmont and Dawn filed comments on the RI/FS with the EPA in January 2006. On October 3, 2006, the EPA issued a final Record of Decision in which it formally selected the preferred remedy identified in the RI/FS.
On January 28, 2005, the EPA filed a lawsuit against Dawn and Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The EPA has asserted that Dawn and Newmont are liable for reclamation or remediation work and costs at the mine. Dawn does not have sufficient funds to pay for the reclamation plan it proposed or for any alternate plan, or for any additional remediation work or costs at the mine. Newmont intends to vigorously contest any claims as to its liability.
Newmont cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this lawsuit or the likelihood of any other action against Dawn or Newmont arising from this matter.
Dawn Mill Site.  Dawn also owns a uranium mill site facility, located on private land near Ford, Washington, which is subject to state and federal regulation. In late 1999, Dawn sought and later received state approval for a revised closure plan that expedites the reclamation process at the site. The currently approved plan for the site is guaranteed by Newmont.
Idarado Mining Company (“Idarado”)—80.1% Newmont Owned
In July 1992, Newmont and Idarado signed a consent decree with the State of Colorado (“State”), which was agreed to by the U.S. District Court of Colorado, to settle a lawsuit brought by the State under CERCLA.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
 
Idarado agreed in the consent decree to undertake specified remediation work at its former mining site in the Telluride/Ouray area of Colorado. Remediation work at this property is substantially complete. If the remediation does not achieve specific performance objectives defined in the consent decree, the State may require Idarado to implement supplemental activities at the site, also as defined in the consent decree. Idarado and Newmont obtained a $6 reclamation bond to secure their potential obligations under the consent decree. In addition, Idarado settled natural resources damages and past and future response costs, and agreed to habitat enhancement work under the consent decree. All of this work is substantially complete.
Newmont Capital Limited—100% Newmont Owned
In February 1999, the EPA placed the Lava Cap mine site in Nevada County, California on the National Priorities List under CERCLA. The EPA then initiated a RI/FS under CERCLA to determine environmental conditions and remediation options at the site.
Newmont Capital, formerly known as Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation, Inc., owned the property for approximately three years from 1984 to 1986 but never mined or conducted exploration at the site. The EPA asserts that Newmont Capital is responsible for clean up costs incurred at the site. Newmont Capital and the EPA reached settlement on all aspects of this matter except future potential Natural Resource Damage claims. The parties have entered into an agreement tolling the statute of limitations until December 31, 2008 to facilitate the finalization of the agreement. The settlement will be subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the District of Northern California.
Newmont USA Limited—100% Newmont Owned
Pinal Creek.  Newmont is a defendant in a lawsuit brought on November 5, 1991 in U.S. District Court in Arizona by the Pinal Creek Group, alleging that the Company and others are responsible for some portion of costs incurred to address groundwater contamination emanating from copper mining operations located in the area of Globe and Miami, Arizona. Two former subsidiaries of Newmont, Pinto Valley Copper Corporation and Magma Copper Company (now known as BHP Copper Inc.), owned some of the mines in the area between 1983 and 1987. The court has dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking to hold Newmont liable for the acts or omissions of its former subsidiaries. Based on information presently available, Newmont believes it has strong defenses to plaintiffs’ remaining claims, including, without limitation, that Newmont’s agents did not participate in any pollution causing activities; that Newmont’s liabilities, if any, were contractually transferred to one of the plaintiffs; that portions of plaintiffs’ claimed damages are not recoverable; and that Newmont’s equitable share of liability, if any, would be immaterial. While Newmont has denied liability and is vigorously defending these claims, we cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.
Grass Valley . On February 3, 2004, the City of Grass Valley, California brought suit against Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This matter involves an abandoned mine adit on property previously owned by a predecessor of Newmont and currently owned by the City of Grass Valley. The complaint alleges that the adit is discharging metals-bearing water into a stream on the property, in concentrations in excess of current EPA drinking water standards. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likely outcome of this matter.
Gray Eagle Mine Site . By letter dated September 3, 2002, the EPA notified Newmont that the EPA had expended $3 in response costs to address environmental conditions associated with a historic

tailings pile located at the Grey Eagle Mine site near Happy Camp, California, and requested that Newmont pay those costs. The EPA has identified four potentially responsible parties, including Newmont. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the Grey Eagle Mine site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.
Ross Adams Mine Site.  By letter dated June 5, 2007, the US Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Adams Ross mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.
PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (“PTNMR”)—80% Newmont Owned
In July 2004, a criminal complaint was filed against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, alleging environmental pollution relating to submarine tailings placement into nearby Buyat Bay. The Indonesian police detained five PTNMR employees during September and October of 2004. The police investigation and the detention of PTNMR’s employees was declared illegal by the South Jakarta District Court in December 2004, but in March 2005, the Indonesian Supreme Court upheld the legality of the police investigation, and the police turned their evidence over to the local prosecutor. In July 2005, the prosecutor filed an indictment against PTNMR and its President Director, alleging environmental pollution at Buyat Bay. After the court rejected motions to dismiss the proceeding, the trial proceeded and all evidence, including that of the defense, was presented in court in September 2006. In November 2006 the prosecution filed its charge, seeking a three-year jail sentence for PTNMR’s President Director plus a nominal fine. In addition, the prosecution recommended a nominal fine against PTNMR. The defense filed responses in January 2007, and final briefing was completed in March 2007. On April 24, 2007, the court entered its verdict acquitting PTNMR and its President Director of all charges. In May 2007, the prosecution appealed the decision of the court to the Indonesian Supreme Court, despite Indonesian laws that prohibit the appeal of a verdict of acquittal.
In addition, on March 22, 2007, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (“WALHI”) filed a civil suit against PTNMR and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Ministry for the Environment, alleging pollution from the disposal of mine tailings into Buyat Bay, and seeking a court order requiring PTNMR to fund a 25-year monitoring program in relation to Buyat Bay. In December 2007, the court ruled in PTNMR’s favor and found that WALHI’s allegations of pollution in Buyat Bay were without merit. In March 2008, WALHI appealed this decision to the Indonesian Supreme Court.
Independent sampling and testing of Buyat Bay water and fish, as well as area residents, conducted by the World Health Organization and the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, confirm that PTNMR has not polluted the Buyat Bay environment, and, therefore, has not adversely affected the fish in Buyat Bay or the health of nearby residents. The Company remains steadfast that it has not caused pollution or health problems and will continue to vigorously defend itself against these allegations.

Resurrection Mining Company (“Resurrection”)—100% Newmont Owned
Newmont, Resurrection and other defendants were named in lawsuits filed by the State of Colorado under CERCLA in 1983, which were subsequently consolidated with a lawsuit filed by EPA in 1986. These proceedings sought to compel the defendants to remediate the impacts of pre-existing, historic mining activities near Leadville, Colorado, which date back to the mid-1800s, and which the government agencies claim were causing substantial environmental problems in the area.
In 1988 and 1989, the EPA issued administrative orders with respect to one area on the site and the defendants collectively implemented those orders by constructing a water treatment plant, which was placed in operation in early 1992. Remaining remedial work for this area consists of water treatment plant operation and continuing environmental monitoring and maintenance activities. The parties also entered into a consent decree with respect to the remaining areas at the site, which apportioned liabilities and responsibilities for these areas. The EPA approved remedial actions for selected components of Resurrection’s portion of the site, which were initiated in 1995. The EPA has not selected the final remedy for the site.
On August 9, 2005, ASARCO LLC, another potentially responsible party at the site, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). ASARCO is contractually responsible for 50% of the ongoing expenses at the water treatment plant. In June 2007, Resurrection, the EPA, the State and ASARCO reached a settlement relating to all outstanding issues at the site. The settlement, once fully approved, will modify certain responsibilities of the parties. In July 2007, the settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The settlement is also subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.
Other Legal Matters
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”)—51.35% Newmont Owned
Choropampa . In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.
Yanacocha, various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newmont, and other defendants have been named in lawsuits filed by approximately 1,100 Peruvian citizens in Denver District Court for the State of Colorado. These actions seek compensatory damages based on claims associated with the elemental mercury spill incident. In February 2005, Yanacocha and the various Newmont defendants answered the complaint in the Denver District Court. The parties in these cases have agreed to submit these matters to binding arbitration. In October 2007, the parties to the arbitration entered a court-approved settlement agreement, resolving most of these cases.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
 
Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which should result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. Approximately 200 plaintiffs claims remain.
Neither Newmont nor Yanacocha can reasonably predict the final outcome of any of the above-described lawsuits.
Conga.  Yanacocha is involved in a dispute with the Provincial Municipality of Celendin regarding the authority of that governmental body to regulate the development of the Conga project. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Municipality of Celendin enacted an ordinance declaring the area around Conga to be a mining-free reserve and naturally protected area. Yanacocha has challenged this ordinance by means of two legal actions, one filed by Yanacocha (as the lease holder of the Conga mining concessions) and one filed by Minera Chaupiloma (as the titleholder of the Conga mining concessions). In August 2007, a Peruvian Court of first instance upheld Chaupiloma’s claim, stating that the Municipality of Celendin lacks the authority to create natural protected areas. The Municipality of Celendin has not appealed the ruling. Based on legal precedent established by Peru’s Constitutional Tribunal and the foregoing resolution of the Chaupiloma claim, it is reasonable to believe that Yanacocha’s mining rights will be upheld.
Newmont Mining Corporation
On June 8, 2005, UFCW Local 880—Retail Food Employers Joint Pension Fund filed a putative class action in the federal district court in Colorado purportedly on behalf of purchasers of Newmont Mining Corporation (“Newmont”) publicly traded securities between July 28, 2004 and April 26, 2005. The action named Newmont, Wayne W. Murdy, Pierre Lassonde and Bruce D. Hansen as defendants. Substantially similar purported class actions were filed in the same court on June 15, 2005 by John S. Chapman and on June 20, 2005 by Zoe Myerson. In November 2005, the court consolidated these cases and, in March 2006, appointed a lead plaintiff. In April 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint naming David Francisco, Russell Ball, Thomas Enos and Robert Gallagher as additional defendants. It alleged, among other things, that Newmont and the individual defendants violated certain antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws by failing to disclose alleged operating deficiencies and sought unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On October 20, 2006, the lead plaintiff, on behalf of a settlement class consisting of all purchasers of Newmont securities from November 1, 2003, through and including March 23, 2006 (except defendants and certain related persons), entered into a Stipulation of Settlement with defendants that (a) would release all claims asserted, or that could have been asserted, in the action; (b) would provide for a payment by Newmont of $15 to be distributed to class members pursuant to a plan of allocation developed by the lead plaintiff; and (c) would provide that all defendants deny any wrongdoing or liability with respect to the settled matters. On December 11, 2007, the Court approved the settlement.
On June 14, 2005, June 30, 2005 and July 1, 2005, purported derivative actions were filed, on behalf of Newmont, by Doris Staehr, Frank J. Donio and Jack G. Blaz, respectively, in the federal district court in Colorado against certain of Newmont’s current and former directors and officers. Each

action alleged that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in insider trading and misappropriation of information, and that all defendants breached their fiduciary duties and engaged in conduct that constituted abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment in connection with, among other things, failing to disclose alleged operating deficiencies and failing to prevent alleged violations of environmental laws in Indonesia. The plaintiffs seek, on behalf of Newmont, among other remedies, all damages sustained by the Company as a result of the allegedly improper conduct. In November 2005, the court consolidated these cases and in December 2005 the court appointed a lead plaintiff. On April 10, 2006, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. In a related development, on January 13, 2006, a purported Newmont shareholder sent to the Board of Directors a letter demanding the Company take action against the defendants in the purported derivative actions with respect to the matters alleged in the derivative complaints. Counsel for plaintiffs in the derivative actions, counsel for the demanding shareholder and the Company have agreed to settle the action and related disputes on the basis of certain revisions to the Company’s corporate governance arrangements, and an attorneys’ fee to be paid by the Company. This settlement stipulation was filed with the court on June 19, 2007 and was approved by the U.S. District Court on February 20, 2008.
Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Ltd (“NYOL”)—100% Newmont Owned
On September 3, 2003, J. Aron & Co. commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Australia) against NYOL, its subsidiaries and the administrator in relation to the completed voluntary administration of the NYOL group. J. Aron & Co., an NYOL creditor, initially sought injunctive relief that was denied by the court on September 8, 2003. On October 30, 2003, J. Aron & Co. filed a statement of claim alleging various deficiencies in the implementation of the voluntary administration process and seeking damages and other relief against NYOL and other parties. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.
P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”)—45% Newmont Owned
Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2005 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares must be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. The price at which such interest must be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares would be accepted for listing on the Jakarta Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Pursuant to this provision, it is possible that the ownership interest of the Newmont/Sumitomo partnership in PTNNT, owner of Batu Hijau, could be reduced to 49%.
PTPI has owned and continues to own a 20% interest in PTNNT, and therefore the Newmont/Sumitomo partnership was required to offer a 3% interest for sale in 2006 and an additional 7% interest in 2007. In accordance with the Contract of Work, an offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the government of Indonesia in 2006 and an offer for an additional 7% interest was made in 2007. While the central government declined to participate in the 2006 and 2007 offers, local governments in the area in which the Batu Hijau mine is located have expressed interest in acquiring shares, as have various Indonesian

nationals. In January 2008, the Newmont/Sumitomo partnership agreed to sell, under a carried interest arrangement, 2% of PTNNT’s shares to Kabupaten Sumbawa, one of the local governments, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. On February 11, 2008, PTNNT received notification from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources (“DEMR”) alleging that PTNNT is in breach of its divestiture requirements under the Contract of Work and threatened to issue a notice to terminate the Contract of Work if PTNNT did not agree to divest the 2006 and 2007 shares, in accordance with the direction of the DEMR, by February 22, 2008, which date was extended to March 3, 2008. On March 3, 2008, the Indonesian government filed for international arbitration, as did PTNNT, as provided under the Contract of Work. Newmont and Sumitomo believe there is no basis for terminating the Contract of Work. A further 7% interest was offered for sale on March 28, 2008. The March 2008 offer is not currently subject to international arbitration.
The Company has been in discussions to extend its forest use permit (called a pinjam pakai) for over three years. This permit is a key requirement to continue to efficiently operate the Batu Hijau mine. The permit extension has not been received and in the event it is not received by June 2008, it could have an adverse impact on operating and financial results.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Tax contingencies are provided for under FIN 48 (see Note 7).
In a 1993 asset exchange, a wholly-owned subsidiary transferred a coal lease under which the subsidiary had collected advance royalty payments totaling $484. From 1994 to 2018, remaining advance payments under the lease to the transferee total $390. In the event of title failure as stated in the lease, this subsidiary has a primary obligation to refund previously collected payments and has a secondary obligation to refund any of the $390 collected by the transferee, if the transferee fails to meet its refund obligation. The subsidiary has title insurance on the leased coal deposits of $240 covering the secondary obligation. The Company and the subsidiary regard the circumstances entitling the lessee to a refund as remote.
The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $11 in 2008, $17 in 2009 and 2010, $18 in 2011, $11 in 2012 and $54 thereafter.
As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were $748 and $662, 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.
 
37

Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. In addition, the surety markets for certain types of environmental bonding used by the Company have become increasingly constrained. The Company, however, believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements, through existing or alternative means, as they arise.
As a result of historical contractual arrangements, the Company has managed certain reclamation activities at the Mt. Leyshon mine in northern Queensland, Australia. This mine, which has not operated for a number of years, is owned by Leyshon Resources Limited. In January and February 2008, extraordinary precipitation in northern Queensland resulted in discharges from the mine property of water containing elevated levels of certain metals. This event has resulted in renewed discussions with regulatory authorities in regard to a comprehensive closure plan for the property. The Company is assessing the extent of its responsibility, if any, for any liability arising from the discharge and for any final closure plan.
Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above-described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 24    SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 21.6. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents income from continuing operations before income tax expense, minority interest and equity loss of affiliates, divided by interest expense. Interest expense includes amortization of capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense representative of interest. Interest expense does not include interest on income tax liabilities. The computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges can be found in Exhibit 12.1.

 Consolidated Financial Results
Our income from continuing operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 was $364, or $0.81 per share. Results for the first three months of 2008 compared to 2007 were impacted by significantly higher realized gold and copper prices and increased sales volume, partially offset by the write-down of marketable securities.

Sales—gold , net for the first quarter of 2008 increased $500, or 49%, compared to the first quarter of 2007, primarily due to higher realized prices and increased sales volumes. The following analysis summarizes the change in consolidated gold sales revenue:

Costs applicable to sales increased $11 for gold and $27 for copper for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007, as detailed in the table below. The increase in the first quarter of 2008 is primarily due to higher sales volume, increased input commodity prices, higher waste removal costs and unfavorable exchange rate movements in the Australian dollar. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.
Amortization increased for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 as detailed in the table below, and primarily relates to higher sales of inventory at Batu Hijau. We expect 2008 Amortization to be approximately $725 to $775.

Accretion expense remained constant for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007.
Exploration expense remained constant for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. We expect 2008 Exploration expense to be approximately $220 to $230. 
Advanced projects, research and development increased by $14 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 due to spending at Hope Bay and higher spending on projects, feasibility studies and drilling at Fort a la Corne and Euronimba. We expect 2008 Advanced projects, research and development expenses to increase to approximately $160 to $190 primarily due to additional spending at Hope Bay.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $4 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007. We expect 2008 General and administrative expenses to be approximately $140 to $150.

The 2008 expense includes pension settlement losses related to senior management retirements. Other expense, net also includes community development and regional administration expenses that were reclassified from Costs applicable to sales . These costs relate to our social responsibility, external and government relations, and regional office costs which are not a cost of mine production. 
Other income, net for the first quarter of 2008 and 2007 is summarized as follows:

Interest expense, net decreased by $4 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 mainly due to increased capitalized interest and repayment of the partner loan at Batu Hijau, partially offset by interest on the convertible senior notes and corporate revolving credit facility. We expect 2008 Interest expense, net to decrease to approximately $60 to $80 as a result of increased operating cash flow.
Income tax expense during the first quarter of 2008 was $235 compared to $44 during the first quarter of 2007. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 30% compared to 31% for the first quarter of 2007. The 1% decrease from the 2007 first quarter rate primarily relates to the effect of foreign earnings in subsidiaries where earnings are not indefinitely reinvested. The effective tax rates in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007 are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to (i) U.S. percentage depletion and (ii) the effect of different income tax rates in countries where earnings are indefinitely reinvested. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed February 21, 2008. We expect the 2008 full year tax rate to be approximately 28% to 32%, assuming an average gold price of $875 per ounce.

(4)	Economic interest decreased to 45% from 52.875% on May 25, 2007.	
Consolidated gold ounces sold increased 4% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007, primarily due to higher production at Yanacocha and Australia/New Zealand and a draw down of inventory at Yanacocha and Batu Hijau, partially offset by lower production at Ahafo.
Consolidated copper pounds sold increased 15% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007, primarily due to a decrease in concentrate inventory at Batu Hijau.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold decreased 2% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007, due to higher by-product revenue as a result of higher metal prices and increased production, partially offset by increased labor and diesel costs. Also, the strengthening of the Australian dollar increased Consolidated Costs applicable to sales by $11 per ounce in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 2007. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound increased 7% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007, primarily due to higher mining costs.
Our 2008 annual gold guidance remains unchanged with consolidated gold sales of between 5.9 and 6.4 million ounces of gold at Costs applicable to sales of between $425 and $450 per ounce. Our Costs applicable to sales forecast for 2008 now assumes an oil price of $90 per barrel and an Australian dollar exchange rate of 0.925 for the remainder of the year. Our Costs applicable to sales are expected to change by approximately $2 per ounce for every $5 change in the oil price and by $5 per ounce for every $0.05 change in the Australian dollar exchange rate. We are actively hedging a portion of our diesel and Australian dollar exposure and volatility.
We now expect consolidated copper sales of approximately 280 to 330 million pounds of copper in 2008 at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $1.50 to $1.75 compared to our original guidance of between 345 and 365 million pounds of copper at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $1.30 to $1.40 per pound, due to extremely heavy rainfall during the first quarter of 2008 at Batu Hijau. See the Batu Hijau Operation discussion below for additional details.

Gold ounces sold in Nevada decreased 6% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007 due to the shutdown of Lone Tree processing facilities at the end of 2007. Lone Tree process facilities accounted for 33,000 ounces of sales in the first quarter of 2007.
Underground ore in the first quarter of 2008 increased to 526,000 tons, up from 484,000 tons in the first quarter of 2007. This increase was due to 90% higher tons at Leeville and 66% higher tons at Chukar, partially offset by 29% lower tons at Midas, 14% lower tons at Deep Post and no 2008 tons at Carlin East. Surface ore mined in the first quarter of 2008 decreased to 8.4 million tons, down from 10.6 million tons in the previous year quarter. As planned, fewer ore tons were mined from the deeper phases of Gold Quarry and Twin Creeks.
First quarter ore milled was 6.2 million tons in 2008 and 2007 as completion of Lone Tree milling in 2007 was offset by higher tons milled at Phoenix in 2008. Ore placed on leach pads increased by 40% from the first quarter of 2007 to 2008 with increases at both Twin Creeks and Carlin.
During the first quarter of 2008, Phoenix sold 40,500 ounces of gold at Costs applicable to sales of $401 per ounce, compared to 47,100 ounces at Costs applicable to sales of $782 per ounce in previous year quarter. The cost improvements were driven by reduced milling cost per ton, reduced waste mining costs, increased recovered copper and silver and higher copper and silver prices.
With Phoenix now producing in line with 2008 expectations, Leeville ramp-up achieved in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the Midas mining sequence reestablished, the Company continues to expect gold sales in Nevada of approximately 2.2 to 2.4 million ounces for 2008.
Nevada’s Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 15% to $409 in the first quarter of 2008 from $484 in the first quarter of 2007. Lower costs were driven by a combination of factors: ending high cost Carlin East mining and Lone Tree processing, more low cost oxide leach ounces and cost reductions coming from Leeville mine tonnage rampup, Phoenix improvements, lower surface mining contracted services and lower surface mining tons. Benefits of higher by-product silver and copper prices are largely offset by higher Nevada net proceeds tax and royalty costs due to higher gold prices.
The Company continues to expect Costs applicable to sales of approximately $400 to $430 per ounce for 2008. Ongoing labor and diesel cost pressures are expected to be offset by reduced electricity charges as a result of generating power for approximately one-half of the year from our newly constructed coal-fired power plant and reduced contracted services and other expenses.
Construction of the 200 megawatt coal-fired power plant was approximately 87% complete at March 31, 2008. Commissioning remained on track during the first quarter of 2008, with commercial operation anticipated during the second quarter. Capital costs remain consistent with previous expectations of between $620 and $640. The lower cost of self-generated electricity, when compared with projected future market prices in the region, is expected to reduce Nevada’s Costs applicable to sales by approximately $60 per year, or $25 per ounce.

Consolidated gold sales at Yanacocha increased 19% in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007 due to a drawdown of inventory. Ore mined and placed on the leach pads increased to 30.4 million tons in the first quarter of 2008 from 16.5 million tons in the first quarter of 2007. During the same periods, the amount of waste material mined decreased to 21.8 million tons from 29.7 million tons. Leached ore grade also increased by 23% from 0.013 to 0.016 ounces per ton in the first quarter of 2008 from the same period in 2007. Gold production increased by 20% due to the increased ore placement and grade. We continue to expect gold sales of approximately 1.7 to 1.8 million ounces for 2008.
Costs applicable to sales increased in the first quarter of 2008 to $311 per ounce from $280 per ounce in the first quarter of 2007, primarily due to higher workers participation and royalty costs due to higher gold prices and higher fuel costs, partially offset by lower waste stripping, lower labor costs and higher by-product revenue. We continue to expect Costs applicable to sales of approximately $370 to $390 per ounce for 2008.
Start up of the gold mill at Yanacocha occurred in late March and is on schedule to achieve commercial production in the second quarter of 2008. Capital costs for the project remain consistent with previous expectations of between $250 and $270.

Consolidated gold sales in Australia/New Zealand increased 1% in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007, primarily due to higher ore grades at Jundee and a full quarter of production at Waihi, partially offset by lower production at Kalgoorlie primarily due to lower mill ore grades. Costs applicable to sales per ounce for the first quarter increased 5% in 2008 from 2007, primarily due to the strengthening of the Australian dollar and increased input costs, particularly diesel, electricity and labor. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company hedged a portion of its Australian denominated operating expenditures which reduced Costs applicable to sales by $1, or $5 per ounce for Australia/New Zealand.

Tanami, Australia . Gold ounces sold decreased 16% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007 due to changes in inventories. Gold production remained constant as lower mill ore grade was offset by an increase in mill throughput. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 23%, primarily due to the strengthening of the Australian dollar, which increased Costs applicable to sales by approximately $52 per ounce, higher fuel costs, additional backfill activity and higher ore hauling charges associated with longer hauling distances.
Jundee, Australia . Gold ounces sold increased 47% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 2007, primarily due to an 82% increase in mill ore grade and 7% higher mill recovery, partially offset by inventory sales in 2007. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 25%, primarily attributable to higher production partially offset by higher underground mining and milling costs and the strengthening of the Australian dollar, which increased Costs applicable to sales by approximately $44 per ounce.
Kalgoorlie, Australia . Gold ounces sold decreased 27% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 2007, primarily due to 13% lower mill ore grade, lower mill throughput and a drawdown of inventory during the first quarter of 2007. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 31%, primarily due to the strengthening of the Australian dollar, which increased Costs applicable to sales by approximately $84 per ounce, higher fuel costs and higher contract maintenance costs.
Waihi, New Zealand . Gold ounces sold increased 121% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007, primarily due to higher throughput as a result of a planned mill suspension in first quarter of 2007 related to underground mine development at Favona and waste removal at the Martha open pit. Costs applicable to sales per ounce were 24% lower due to higher production and higher by-product revenue, partially offset by higher underground mining and milling costs and the strengthening of the New Zealand dollar, which increased Costs applicable to sales by approximately $51 per ounce.
We continue to expect gold sales in Australia/New Zealand of approximately 1.05 to 1.10 million ounces for 2008 at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $585 to $625 per ounce, excluding adverse changes in the Australian dollar exchange rate beyond a full year average rate of A$1.00:$0.925. Unfavorable changes in the Australian dollar exchange rate could result in operating costs for the region outside of the expected range for the full year, as a significant portion of costs are Australian dollar denominated. Costs applicable to sales in Australia/New Zealand are expected to change by approximately $5 to $6 per ounce for every $0.01 move in the Australian dollar exchange rate.
Development of the Boddington project remains on schedule and is approximately 69% complete, with mill start-up expected in late 2008 or early 2009. Our share of the expected capital cost remains between $1,400 and $1,600.

Consolidated copper and gold sales at Batu Hijau increased 15% and 43% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007, respectively, primarily as a result of 30 million pounds and 41,000 ounces of concentrate inventory sales. Copper and gold production decreased by 22% and 10%, respectively, due to lower mill throughput from ore blending limitations and unplanned downtime.
Total Costs applicable to sales increased by $37 in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007 as a result of concentrate inventory sales and increased mining costs. Increasing labor and input commodity prices continue to impact operating costs, as well as increased selling expenses and royalties due to higher average prices for both gold and copper.
The average realized copper price increased to $4.10 per pound from $2.33 per pound in the prior year quarter. The higher copper price favorably impacted the provisional sales mark-to-market adjustment by $82 or $0.78 per pound for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $6 or $0.07 per pound for the first quarter of 2007. Additionally, lower treatment and refining costs in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 increased the average realized copper price by $5, or $0.11 per pound.
Batu Hijau experienced extremely heavy rainfall during the first quarter of 2008, causing minor damage to pit infrastructure, as well as adding significant amounts of unexpected water to the pit, potentially limiting the Company’s ability to access high grade ore later in the year, as planned. Expectations for 2008 production are contingent on the extent of dry season access during the third and fourth quarters, which could offset portions of the expected wet season production shortfall. As a result, we expect gold and copper sales at Batu Hijau to be between 220,000 and 290,000 ounces of gold and between 280 and 330 million pounds of copper at Costs applicable to sales of $340 to $380 per ounce and $1.50 and $1.75 per pound, respectively, compared to original guidance of between 325,000 and 365,000 ounces of gold and between 345 and 365 million pounds of copper at Costs applicable to sales of $285 to $325 per ounce and $1.30 to $1.40 per pound, respectively. Potential production shortfalls due to restricted access in 2008 would be recovered in 2009.
We currently have a 45% ownership interest in the Batu Hijau mine, held through the Nusa Tenggara partnership (“NTP”) with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan. We have a 56.25% interest in NTP and the Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), the Indonesian subsidiary that owns Batu Hijau. We identified NTP as a Variable Interest Entity as a result of certain capital structures and contracted relationships and have fully consolidated Batu Hijau in the consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2004. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company.
Under the Contract of Work, beginning in 2005 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares must be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. The price at which such interest must be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares would be accepted for listing on the Jakarta Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Pursuant to this provision, it is possible that the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT, owner of Batu Hijau, could be reduced to 49%.
PTPI has owned and continues to own a 20% interest in PTNNT, and therefore NTP was required to offer a 3% interest for sale in 2006 and an additional 7% interest in 2007. In accordance with the Contract of Work, an offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the government of Indonesia in 2006 and
 
48

an offer for an additional 7% interest was made in 2007. While the central government declined to participate in the 2006 and 2007 offers, local governments in the area in which the Batu Hijau mine is located have expressed interest in acquiring shares, as have various Indonesian nationals. In January 2008, NTP agreed to sell, under a carried interest arrangement, 2% of PTNNT’s shares to Kabupaten Sumbawa, one of the local governments, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. On February 11, 2008, PTNNT received notification from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources (“DEMR”) alleging that PTNNT is in breach of its divestiture requirements under the Contract of Work and threatened to issue a notice to terminate the Contract of Work if PTNNT did not agree to divest the 2006 and 2007 shares, in accordance with the direction of the DEMR, by February 22, 2008, which date was extended to March 3, 2008. On March 3, 2008, the Indonesian government filed for international arbitration, as did PTNNT, as provided under the Contract of Work. Newmont and Sumitomo believe there is no basis for terminating the Contract of Work. A further 7% interest was offered for sale on March 28, 2008. The March 2008 offer is not currently subject to international arbitration.
We have been in discussions to extend our forest use permit (called a pinjam pakai) for over three years. This permit is a key requirement to continue to efficiently operate the Batu Hijau mine. The permit extension has not been received and in the event it is not received by June 2008, it could have an adverse impact on operating and financial results. In 2005, relevant Indonesian governmental authorities reviewed the contractual requirements for extension of the pinjam pakai and determined that we meet those requirements.

Gold ounces sold at Ahafo decreased 16% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of unplanned mill downtime in March, unexpected power interruptions and lower grades, partially offset by a reduction of inventory. Waste material mined increased to 11.1 million tons in the first quarter of 2008 from 8.2 million tons in the first quarter of 2007.
Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 43% due to lower production and higher mining and milling costs. Mining costs increased primarily due to higher waste stripping, labor, fuel and contract maintenance costs. Milling costs increased due to higher electricity and maintenance costs.
We expect gold sales of approximately 495,000 to 530,000 ounces in 2008 primarily due to unplanned mill down time. We expect Costs applicable to sales of approximately $485 to $520 per ounce for the year primarily due to lower production, higher fuel costs and higher royalty costs. This is partially offset by lower labor costs, lower consumable costs and lower supplemental power requirements.

Kori Kollo, Bolivia . Consolidated gold ounces sold decreased 17% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007 due to stability issues with the Phase 7 leach pad resulting in less leach cycle time and an increase in leach pad inventory. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 34% in the first quarter of 2008 from 2007, primarily as a result of lower production, higher leaching costs and additional Bolivian royalties.
La Herradura, Mexico . Gold ounces sold increased 9% in first quarter of 2008 from 2007 due to more ore tons placed on the leach pads.
The Company continues to expect consolidated gold sales for Other Operations in 2008 of approximately 200,000 to 220,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $340 to $360 per ounce.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 31% and 27%, of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations increased consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce by approximately $11 during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007.
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Provided from Operating Activities
Net cash provided from continuing operations increased to $594 for the first quarter of 2008 from $26 for the first quarter of 2007 due to significantly higher realized gold and copper prices, as discussed above in Consolidated Financial Results . The 2007 results were also negatively impacted by the timing of settlements related to the former Batu Hijau copper hedge program for $111.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $767 during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $388 during the same period of 2007, driven largely by the acquisition of Miramar.

Capital expenditures in Nevada during the first quarter of 2008 were primarily related to the construction of the power plant and sustaining mine development. Yanacocha capital expenditures were primarily related to construction of the gold mill, surface equipment replacement and leach pad expansions. Capital expenditures in Australia/New Zealand largely resulted from the continued construction of the Boddington project. In 2007, we commenced a hedging program to reduce the variability of the Australian denominated capital expenditures related to Boddington. At March 31, 2008, we have hedged 39% of our remaining forecasted Australian dollar denominated capital expenditures in 2008 and 2009 at an average rate of 0.87. Batu Hijau’s capital expenditures were predominately for sustaining mine development. Capital expenditures at Ahafo were mainly as a result of mine equipment purchases and sustaining development. We expect to spend $1,800 to $2,000 on consolidated capital expenditures in 2008.
Capital expenditures in Nevada during the first quarter of 2007 were primarily due to the construction of the power plant, mine equipment replacement and sustaining mine development. Yanacocha capital expenditures were primarily on construction of the gold mill and leach pad expansions. Capital expenditures in Australia/New Zealand largely resulted from the continued construction of the Boddington project. Batu Hijau’s capital expenditures were predominately used for sustaining mine development. Capital expenditures at Ahafo were mainly as a result of continued risk mitigation for power shortages and sustaining development.
Investments in marketable debt and equity securities, net.  During the first quarter of 2008, we purchased marketable equity securities for $3. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company purchased marketable equity securities of Gabriel Resources for $27 and other marketable securities for $2.
 
51

Acquisitions.  During the first quarter of 2008, we paid $318 for certain acquisition costs and to acquire the remaining outstanding common shares of Miramar Mining Corporation (“Miramar”), resulting in Miramar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. The total Miramar purchase price was $1,353. As a result of the completed acquisition of Miramar, we control the Hope Bay Project, a large undeveloped gold project in Nunavut, Canada.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided from (used in) financing activities was $71 and $(50) during the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Repayment of debt.  During the first quarter of 2008, the Company made scheduled debt repayments of $22 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant, classified as a capital lease.
During the first quarter of 2008, we received net proceeds of $225 under our $2,000 revolving credit facility. The facility is also used for the issuance of letters of credit totaling $471, primarily supporting reclamation obligations (see “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below).
Scheduled minimum debt repayments are $229 for the remainder of 2008, $142 in 2009, $147 in 2010, $323 in 2011, $360 in 2012 and $1,946 thereafter. We expect to be able to fund maturities of debt from Net cash provided by operating activities , short-term investments, existing cash balances or available credit facilities.
At March 31, 2008, we were in compliance with all required debt covenants and other restrictions related to debt agreements.
Dividends paid to minority interests.  We paid dividends of $98 and $1 to minority interests during the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Dividends paid to common stockholders.  We declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per common share. Additionally, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, declared regular quarterly dividends on its exchangeable shares totaling C$0.1019 per share. We paid dividends of $45 to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007.
Proceeds from stock issuance.  We received proceeds of $17 and $9 during the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, from the issuance of common stock related to the exercise of stock options.
Discontinued Operations
Net operating cash (used in) provided from discontinued operations was $(100) and $32 in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, as follows:

 	  	Three Months Ended

During the first quarter of 2008, we made tax payments of $127 related to the royalty portfolio sale.
Net cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations was $3 and $2 in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations in 2008 included accrued expense payments on the royalty portfolio sale of $8, partially offset by $5 in proceeds from the sale of assets at Pajingo. Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations in 2007 included additions to property, plant and mine development of $2.
 
52

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements: $748 of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees and operating leases. We also provide a contingent support line of credit to PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara of which our pro-rata share is $37. Batu Hijau has sales agreements to sell copper concentrates at market prices as follows (in thousands of tons): 386 for the remainder of 2008; 774 in 2009; 851 in 2010, 730 in 2011, 725 in 2012 and 659 thereafter.
 Environmental
Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. We conduct our operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believe our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, $570 and $569, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently producing mineral properties.
In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. We believe that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $123 and $125 were accrued for such obligations at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 63% greater or 17% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 2008. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are charged to Other expense, net in the period estimates are revised.
For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 19 and 23 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the first quarter of 2008 and 2007, capital expenditures were approximately $16 and $9, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.
Newmont spent $2 and $3, respectively, during the first quarter of 2008 and 2007 for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities discussed in Note 23 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 were adopted January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position No. 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.
 
53

FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:
 
 	Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;	
 
 	Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;	
 
 	Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).	
The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by FAS 157, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 	  	Fair Value at March 31, 2008	
 	  	Total	  	Level 1	  	Level 2	  	Level 3	
Assets:	  			  			  			  			
Cash equivalents	  	$	61	  	$	61	  	$	—	  	$	—	
Marketable equity securities	  	 	1,501	  	 	1,501	  	 	—	  	 	—	
Marketable debt securities	  	 	33	  	 	—	  	 	4	  	 	29	
Derivative instruments, net	  	 	26	  	 	—	  	 	26	  	 	—

Liabilities:	  			  			  			  			
8  5 / 8 % debentures	  	$	95	  	$	—	  	$	95	  	$	—	
	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	  	 	 	
Our cash instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.
Our marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.
Our marketable debt securities include investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The auction rate securities are valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active. We determined the fair value based on indicative pricing from the underwriting bank. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The asset backed commercial paper falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because it trades infrequently and has little price transparency.
Our derivative instruments are valued using pricing models and we generally use similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, we verify the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. Our derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
54

Our 8  5 / 8 % uncollateralized debentures have a principal amount of $223 due May 2011. We have fixed to floating swap contracts to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on $100 of these debentures. The hedged portion of our 8  5 / 8 % debentures are valued using pricing models which require inputs, including risk-free interest rates and credit spreads. Because the inputs are derived from observable market data, the hedged portion of the 8  5 / 8 % debentures is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial assets (asset backed commercial paper) for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Balance at beginning of period	  	$	31	 	
Unrealized losses	  	 	(2	)	
	  	 	 	 	
Balance at end of period	  	$	29	 	
	  	 	 	 	
The total amount of unrealized losses for the period was included in Accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates from December 31, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The provisions of FAS 159 were adopted January 1, 2008. We did not elect the Fair Value Option for any of our financial assets or liabilities, and therefore, the adoption of FAS 159 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
In June 2007, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 requires that the tax benefit related to dividend and dividend equivalents paid on equity-classified nonvested shares and nonvested share units, which are expected to vest, be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 was to be applied prospectively for tax benefits on dividends declared in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of EITF 06-11 had an insignificant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”) which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on the Company’s derivative instrument disclosures.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”, (“FAS 141(R)”) which amends FAS 141, and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
55

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. FAS 160 also requires that the reporting company clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. FAS 160 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2007, the FASB published Proposed FSP No. APB 14-a “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (the “Proposed FSP”). The Proposed FSP applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB Statement No. 133. Convertible debt instruments within the scope of the Proposed FSP are not addressed by the existing APB 14. The Proposed FSP would require that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of the Proposed FSP shall be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This will require an allocation of the convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component would be reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instrument’s expected life using the effective interest method. If the Proposed FSP is adopted, we estimate that approximately $300 of debt discount would be recorded and the effective interest rate on our 2014 and 2017 convertible senior notes (see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) would increase by approximately 5 percentage points to 6.25% and 6.625%, respectively, for the non-cash amortization of the debt discount.

 ITEM 3	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK	
    	(dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).	
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect the Company’s profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affects the Company’s profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Foreign Currency Contracts
Newmont has entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to hedge the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in currency rates. Newmont entered into $/IDR forward purchase contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year which reduced Costs applicable to sales by $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. During the third quarter of 2007, Newmont began a layered fixed forward contract program to hedge a portion of its A$ denominated operating expenditures and during the first quarter of 2008 began a layered fixed forward contract program to hedge a portion of its NZ$ denominated operating expenditures. The programs include a series of fixed forward contracts with expiration dates of up to three years from the date of issue. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the A$ and NZ$ operating hedge programs reduced Costs applicable to sales by $1 and $nil, respectively. All of the currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, Newmont began a program to hedge a portion of its A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of the Boddington project. The program consists of a series of fixed forward contracts and bought call option contracts with expiration dates of up to one year from the date of issue. The A$ denominated contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future Boddington capital expenditures, and as such, changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income . The realized gains and losses associated with the capital expenditure hedge program will impact Amortization during future periods in which the Boddington joint venture assets are placed into service and affect earnings.

Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts
During the first quarter of 2008, Newmont implemented a program to hedge a portion of its operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at its Nevada operations. The program consists of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates of up to one year from the date of issue. The contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future diesel purchases, and as such changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income .
Newmont had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2008:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts
At March 31, 2008, Newmont had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of its $223 8  5 / 8 % debentures expiring in 2011. Under the hedge contract terms, the

Company receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, these transactions had an insignificant impact on interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $7 and $4 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
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 copper concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price 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.
At March 31, 2008 and 2007, Batu Hijau had the following gross revenues before treatment and refining charges subject to final price adjustments:

 ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.	
During the fiscal period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Even an effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls. Therefore, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and financial statement preparation.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
