NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
(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 Company has evaluated all subsequent events through October 28, 2009. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in its Form 8-K, filed September 15, 2009. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency, “IDR” to Indonesian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency and “$” to United States currency.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC is a new structure which took existing accounting pronouncements and organized them by accounting topic. Relevant authoritative literature issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and select SEC staff interpretations and administrative literature was also included in the ASC. All other accounting guidance not included in the ASC is non-authoritative. The ASC was effective for the Company’s interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009. The adoption of the ASC did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the ASC guidance for subsequent events was updated to establish accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The update sets forth: (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the interim period ended June 30, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
In December 2008, the ASC guidance for retirement benefits was updated to expand the requirements of employers’ disclosures about post-retirement benefit plan assets in a defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plan. The objective is to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. The Company adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. These disclosures are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes.
Equity Method Investments
In November 2008, the ASC guidance for equity method and joint venture investments was updated to clarify the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The intent is to provide guidance on: (i) determining the initial measurement of an equity method investment, (ii) recognizing other-than- temporary impairments of an equity method investment and (iii) accounting for an equity method investee’s issuance of shares. The updated guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and was applied prospectively. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Equity-Linked Financial Instruments
In June 2008, the ASC guidance for derivatives and hedging when accounting for contracts in an entity’s own equity was updated to clarify the determination of whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock which would qualify as a scope exception from hedge accounting. The updated guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments
In May 2008, the ASC guidance was updated for 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. The update requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This requires an allocation of convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component is reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instrument’s expected life using the effective interest method. The updated guidance required retrospective application to all periods presented.
During July 2007, the Company completed an offering of $1,150 convertible senior notes due 2014 and 2017, each in the amount of $575. The 2014 notes, maturing on July 15, 2014, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.25% per annum, and the 2017 notes, maturing on July 15, 2017, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.625% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.21 per share of common stock (24,887,956 shares of common stock). In connection with the convertible senior notes offering, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions (“Call Spread Transactions”). The Call Spread Transactions included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $46.21 was effectively increased to $60.27. At September 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amounts.
During February 2009, the Company completed an offering of $518 convertible senior notes due on February 15, 2012. The notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 3.00% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.25 per share of common stock (11,189,189 shares of common stock). At September 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amount.
The Company recorded the following in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the convertible senior notes:

As a result of adopting the updated guidance, the effective interest rates increased by approximately 5 percentage points to 8.5%, 6.0% and 6.25% for the 2012, 2014 and 2017 notes, respectively, for the non-cash amortization of the debt discount over the lives of the notes. Interest expense was increased by $9 which decreased the Company’s Income from continuing operations and Net income by $5 ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Interest expense was increased by $25 which decreased the Company’s Income from continuing operations and Net income by $16 ($0.03 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Had the update been effective in 2008, the Company would have charged its fourth quarter 2008 dividends to Additional paid-in capital rather than Retained earnings ; therefore the Company made the reclassification in 2009. Cash flows from operations were not impacted by the adoption of the updated guidance. The impact on the Company’s 2009 opening balance in Retained earnings was as follows:
 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	At December 31,	 	
 	 	2008	 	
Balance before application of updated guidance	 	$	7	 	
Impact of adoption of updated guidance	 	 	(31	)	
Reclassification of dividends to Additional paid-in capital	 	 	28	 	
 	 	 	 	
Balance after application of updated guidance	 	$	4	 	
 	 	 	 	
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $8 and $15 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $22 and $41 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. The remaining unamortized debt discount is amortized over the remaining 3, 5 and 8 year periods of the 2012, 2014 and 2017 convertible senior notes, respectively.
Accounting for the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the ASC guidance for Goodwill and Other Intangibles was updated to amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of this update is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under guidance for business combinations. The updated guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and was applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Derivative Instruments
In March 2008, the ASC guidance for derivatives and hedging was updated for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 16 for the Company’s derivative instruments disclosure.
Business Combinations
In December 2007, the ASC guidance for business combinations was updated to provide new guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The updated guidance also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009 and applied it to the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).
In April 2009, the guidance was updated to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This update is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).

Noncontrolling Interests
In December 2007, the ASC guidance for Noncontrolling Interests was updated to establish accounting and reporting standards pertaining to: (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (“noncontrolling interest”), (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. If a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income based on such fair value. For presentation and disclosure purposes, the guidance requires noncontrolling interests to be classified as a separate component of equity. The Company adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. Except for presentation changes, the adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value Accounting
In September 2006, the ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the updated guidance for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued an update to the guidance which delayed the effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on January 1, 2009.
In April 2009, the guidance was further updated to provide additional guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly. In April 2009, the guidance for investments in debt and equity securities was updated to: (i) clarify the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other than temporarily impaired, (ii) provide guidance on the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recognized for a debt security in earnings and other comprehensive income and (iii) expand the disclosures required for other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. Also in April 2009, the guidance for financial instruments was updated to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. Adoption of this updated guidance was required for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning April 1, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the interim period ended March 31, 2009. Refer to Note 15 for further details regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Accounting
In August 2009, the ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to further define fair value of liabilities. This update provides clarification for circumstances in which: (i) a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, (ii) the liability has a restriction that prevents its transfer, and (iii) the identical liability is traded as an asset in an active market in which no adjustments to the quoted price of an asset are required. The updated guidance is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning October 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Variable Interest Entities
In June 2009, the ASC guidance for consolidation accounting was updated to require an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The updated guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. The Company currently accounts for Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) as a VIE and is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES
The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and paid the taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved. At September 30, 2009, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $120 for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns. Of this, $93 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. Also included in the balance at September 30, 2009 is $12 of tax positions that, due to the impact of deferred tax accounting, the potential disallowance of which would not affect the annual effective tax rate.
In April 2009, the United States Tax Court issued an opinion for Santa Fe Pacific Gold Company and Subsidiaries (“Santa Fe”), by and through its successor in interest, Newmont USA Limited, a member of the Newmont Mining Corporation (“Newmont”) affiliated group. The Tax Court ruled in favor of Santa Fe regarding the deductibility of a termination fee that had been paid in 1997 as part of a merger agreement. At September 30, 2009, Newmont had not been notified by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (“Commissioner”) regarding a decision to appeal the Tax Court Ruling. If the Commissioner does not file an appeal, the Company will be decreasing its liability and accrued interest for uncertain income tax positions in the fourth quarter of 2009.
As a result of (i) statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, (ii) the effects of the aforementioned closure with respect to the Santa Fe matters described above and (iii) possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $55 to $87 in the next 12 months.
NOTE 9 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Newmont currently has a 45% ownership interest in Batu Hijau, held through NTP with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan (“Sumitomo”). Newmont has a 56.25% interest in NTP and the Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), the Indonesian subsidiary that operates the Batu Hijau mine. Newmont identified NTP as a VIE as a result of certain capital structures and contractual relationships and has fully consolidated Batu Hijau in its consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2004. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company. NTP’s interest in PTNNT was the subject of an international arbitration proceeding and a final award concerning PTNNT’s interest was issued by the arbitration panel on March 31, 2009. For further information concerning the arbitration award, see Note 27.
Newmont has a 51.35% ownership interest in Yanacocha, with the remaining interests held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the International Finance Corporation (5%).
In April 2008, the Company purchased 15,960 additional shares of European Gold Refineries SA joint venture (“EGR”) for $11 in cash increasing its ownership interest to 56.67% from 46.72%. The acquisition of the additional interest resulted in the consolidation of EGR. In November 2008, EGR repurchased 6.55% of its own shares from a minority shareholder bringing Newmont’s ownership to 60.64%. Swiss residents hold the remaining 39.36%. Prior to consolidation, the Company accounted for EGR using the equity method of accounting.
NOTE 11 INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

In February 2009, the Company completed a public offering of 34,500,000 shares of common stock at $37 per share for net proceeds of $1,233.
Options to purchase 5.1 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $46 and $55 were outstanding at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares because the exercise prices of the options exceeded the price of the common stock.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
In July 2007 and February 2009, Newmont issued $1,150 and $518, respectively, of convertible notes that, if converted in the future, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s stock. Under the indenture for the convertible notes, upon conversion Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (stock price in excess of the conversion price) in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with accounting guidance for earnings per share. Under the net share settlement method, the Company includes the amount of shares it would take to satisfy the conversion obligation, assuming that all of the convertible notes are surrendered. The average closing price of the Company’s common stock for each of the periods presented is used as the basis for determining dilution. The average price of the Company’s common stock for all periods presented did not exceed the conversion price of $46.25 and $46.21 for the notes issued in 2009 and 2007, respectively, and therefore, did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
In connection with the 2007 convertible senior notes offering, the Company entered into Call Spread Transactions. These transactions included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $46.21 was effectively increased to $60.27. Should the warrant transactions become dilutive to the Company’s earnings per share (i.e. Newmont’s share price exceeds $60.27) the underlying shares will be included in the computation of diluted income per common share.

On February 3, 2009, the Company completed a public offering of $518 convertible senior notes, including notes offered to cover over-allotments, maturing on February 15, 2012 for net proceeds of $504 after deducting the underwriters discount and expenses of the offering (see Note 21). Additionally, on February 3, 2009, the Company completed a public offering of 34,500,000 shares of common stock, including shares offered to cover over-allotments, at a price of $37 per share, for net proceeds of $1,233 after deducting the underwriters discount and expenses of the offering.
NOTE 14 ACQUISITIONS
On June 25, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (“AngloGold”). The valuation date for the transaction is January 1, 2009, and closing adjustments were made to reflect Newmont’s economic ownership from that date. Consideration for the acquisition consists of $750 less an $8 closing adjustment paid in cash at closing, $240 payable in cash and/or Newmont common stock, at the Company’s option, by December 2009, and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue less Costs applicable to sales on a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable quarterly on one-third of gold sales from Boddington.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The following table summarizes the consideration to acquire the remaining interest in Boddington:
 	 	 	 	 	
Cash	 	$	742	 	
Cash and/or common shares	 	 	240	 	
Contingent consideration (fair value)	 	 	62	 	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	$	1,044	 	
 	 	 	 	
The Company estimates that the fair value of the contingent consideration is approximately $62, and recognized this as part of the purchase price at the acquisition date. Amounts are payable under the contingent royalty beginning in the second quarter of 2010. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could pay is between $0 and $100. The fair value of the contingent royalty recognized was estimated by applying the income approach. See Note 15 for a description of the key inputs used in deriving fair value.
In connection with the acquisition, Newmont incurred transaction costs of $67 (shown in Note 4, Other expense, net) , including Australian stamp duties. $14 of these costs were paid at September 30, 2009. Additionally, in June 2009, Newmont paid $182 to reimburse AngloGold for its share of capital and other project expenditures from January 1, 2009 to June 25, 2009. The reimbursement of capital expenditures is included in Property, plant and mine development, net , and as Additions to property, plant and mine development on the cash flow statement.
The purchase price allocation based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:
 	 	 	 	 	
Assets:	 	 	 	 	
Cash	 	$	1	 	
Property, plant and mine development, net	 	 	1,073	 	
Inventories and stockpiles	 	 	7	 	
Deferred income tax asset	 	 	28	 	
Other assets	 	 	11	 	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	$	1,120	 	
 	 	 	 	
Liabilities:	 	 	 	 	
Accrued liabilities	 	$	33	 	
Reclamation liabilities	 	 	15	 	
Deferred income tax liability	 	 	28	 	
 	 	 	 	
 	 	 	76	 	
 	 	 	 	
Net assets acquired	 	$	1,044	 	
 	 	 	 	
In the first quarter of 2009, La Herradura (of which Newmont owns 44%) purchased a mining property near its Mexico operation for cash consideration of $11 (Newmont’s 44% share).
The pro forma impact of all 2009 acquisitions on Net Income was not material.
In December 2007, the Company purchased approximately 70% of the common shares of Miramar Mining Corporation (“Miramar”), which, in addition to the shares previously owned, brought the Company’s interest in Miramar to approximately 78%. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of Miramar.
NOTE 15 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 	Level 1 	 	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;	

 	Level 2  	 	Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and	
 		
 	Level 3 	 	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The Company’s cash equivalent instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash equivalent instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.
The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.
The Company’s corporate marketable debt securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s other marketable debt securities include investments in asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities. In January 2009, the investments in the Company’s asset backed commercial paper were restructured under court order. The restructuring allowed a return of a portion of the investment and interest distribution to be made to investors. The Company estimated the fair value of the asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return to each class of notes reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities. The auction rate securities are traded in markets that are not active, trade infrequently and have little price transparency. The Company estimated the fair value of the auction rate securities based on weighted average risk calculations. The asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales is valued using quoted market prices based on the forward London Metal Exchange (“LME”) (copper) and the London Bullion Market Association P.M. fix (“London P.M. fix”) (gold) and, as such, is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company’s derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has fixed to floating swap contracts to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk exposure of its 8 5/8% uncollateralized debentures due May 2011. The hedged portion of the Company’s 8 5/8% debentures are valued using pricing models which require inputs, including risk-free interest rates and credit spreads. Because the inputs are derived from observable market data, the hedged portion of the 8 5/8% debentures is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company has recorded a contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington (Note 14). The value of the contingent consideration was determined using a valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales to estimate fair value. The contingent consideration liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 16 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to certain financial and market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange risk, diesel price risk, and interest rate risk. In accordance with hedge accounting guidance, the Company designated currency fixed forward and option contracts as cash flow hedges, diesel forward contracts as cash flow hedges, treasury rate lock contracts as cash flow hedges of proceeds realized from debt issuances, and interest rate swap contracts as fair value hedges of a fixed-rate borrowing. All of the derivative instruments were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as hedging instruments. The maximum period over which hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur is three years.
Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Contracts
Newmont utilizes foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in currency rates. Newmont hedges up to 80% of the Company’s IDR denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended IDR/$ rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are forward purchase contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period IDR/$ rates. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts reduced Batu Hijau Costs applicable to sales by $1. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the IDR/$ forward purchase contracts increased Batu Hijau Costs applicable to sales by $1 and reduced Batu Hijau Costs applicable to sales by $2, respectively. At September 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 20% of its expected remaining 2009 IDR operating expenditures.
The Company hedges up to 85% of the Company’s A$ denominated operating expenditures with forward contracts that have expiration dates ranging up to three years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ rates. Each month, fixed forward contracts are obtained to hedge 1/36 th of the forecasted monthly A$ operating cost exposure in the rolling three-year hedge period resulting in a blended $/A$ rate realized. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedging instruments reduced Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $4 and $nil, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the A$ operating hedging instruments increased Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $21 and reduced Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $5, respectively. At September 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 78% of its expected remaining 2009 A$ operating expenditures, and 53%, 30% and 9% of its expected 2010, 2011 and 2012 A$ operating expenditures, respectively.

The Company hedges up to 75% of the Company’s NZ$ denominated operating expenditures with forward contracts that have expiration dates ranging up to two years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/NZ$ rates. Each month, fixed forward contracts are obtained to hedge 1/24 th of the forecasted monthly NZ$ operating cost exposure in the rolling two-year hedge period resulting in a blended $/NZ$ rate realized. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the NZ$ operating hedging instruments reduced Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $nil. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the NZ$ operating hedging instruments increased Australia/New Zealand Costs applicable to sales by $3 and $nil, respectively. At September 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 68% of its expected remaining 2009 NZ$ operating expenditures, and 42% and 9% of its expected 2010 and 2011 NZ$ operating expenditures, respectively.
The Company hedges up to 95% of the Company’s A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of Boddington. The hedging instruments consist of a series of fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year from the date of issue. The realized gains and losses associated with the capital expenditure hedge program will impact Amortization during future periods in which the Boddington assets are placed into service. At September 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 33% of its expected remaining A$ denominated Boddington capital expenditures.
All of the foreign currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings .

Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts
Newmont hedges up to 66% of its operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at its Nevada operations to reduce the variability in realized diesel prices. The hedging instruments consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates of up to two years from the date of issue. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Nevada diesel hedge program increased Nevada Costs applicable to sales by $2 and $nil, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Nevada diesel hedge program increased Nevada Costs applicable to sales by $13 and $nil, respectively. The contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future diesel purchases, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. At September 30, 2009, the Company has hedged 64% of its expected remaining 2009 Nevada diesel expenditures, and 43% and 14% of its expected 2010 and 2011 Nevada diesel expenditures, respectively.

Treasury Rate Lock Contracts
In connection with the 2019 and 2039 notes issued in September 2009, Newmont acquired treasury rate lock contracts to reduce the variability of the proceeds realized from the bond issuances. The treasury rate locks resulted in $6 and $5 unrealized gains for the 2019 and 2039 notes, respectively. The Company previously acquired treasury rate locks in connection with the issuance of the 2035 notes that resulted in a $10 unrealized loss. The gains/losses from these contracts will be recognized over the terms of the respective notes.
Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
At September 30, 2009, Newmont had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of its 8 5/8% debentures due 2011. The interest rate swap contracts provide balance to the Company’s mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Under the hedge contract terms, the Company receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as fair value hedges, and as such, changes in fair value have been recorded in income in each period, consistent with recording changes to the mark-to-market value of the underlying hedged liability in income. Changes in the mark-to-market value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as a component of Interest expense, net. The hedge contracts decreased Interest expense, net by $1 and $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and decreased Interest expense, net by $3 and $1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, losses of $1 and $nil were included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, losses of $2 and $nil, respectively, were included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges.

The unrealized loss of $9 and $11 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, relates to the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities, auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper as listed in the tables above. While the fair values of these investments are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. Generally, the Company’s policy is to treat a decline in a marketable equity security’s quoted market value that has lasted continuously for more than six months as an other-than-temporary decline in value. The fair values of these marketable equity securities have not been continuously below cost for the past six months. The Company intends to hold its investment in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper until maturity or such time that the market recovers and therefore considers these losses temporary.

NOTE 25 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s reportable segments are based upon the Company’s management organization structure that is focused on the geographic region for the company’s operations. Segment results for 2008 have been retrospectively revised to reflect an organizational change, effective in the first quarter of 2009, that (i) moved the results of the La Herradura operation in Mexico to North America from Other and (ii) combined the management of exploration and advanced projects activities under one executive and assigned the legacy exploration segment to the regional reportable segments. As a result of management’s decision in the second quarter of 2009 to dispose of the Kori Kollo operation in Bolivia, Kori Kollo has been reclassified to discontinued operations.
Financial information relating to Newmont’s segments is as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
NOTE 27 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
The Company follows loss contingency accounting guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies other than tax contingencies provided for in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (see Note 8). Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable (greater than a 75% probability) that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Operating Segments
The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 25. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 27 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Nevada Operations matters under Newmont USA Limited relate to the North America reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Limited matter relates to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The PTNNT matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.
Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, $624 and $594, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation accounting guidance. The current portions of $53 and $58 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities .
In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $153 and $163 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities . Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 135% greater or 7% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2009. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded 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”).

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
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 that it estimated to cost approximately $150. Newmont and Dawn filed comments on the RI/FS with the EPA in January 2006. On October 3, 2006, the EPA issued a final Record of Decision in which it formally selected the preferred remedy identified in the RI/FS.
On January 28, 2005, the EPA filed a lawsuit against Dawn and Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The EPA has asserted that Dawn and Newmont are liable for reclamation or remediation work and costs at the mine. Dawn does not have sufficient funds to pay for the reclamation plan it proposed or for any alternate plan, or for any additional remediation work or costs at the mine.
On July 14, 2008, after a bench trial, the Court held Newmont liable under CERCLA as an “operator” of the Midnite Mine. The Court previously ruled on summary judgment that both the U.S. Government and Dawn were liable under CERCLA. On October 17, 2008 the Court issued its written decision in the bench trial. The Court found Dawn and Newmont jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for past and future response costs, and ruled that each of Dawn and Newmont are responsible to pay one-third of such costs. The Court also found the U.S. Government liable on Dawn’s and Newmont’s contribution claim, and ruled that the U.S. Government is responsible to pay one-third of all past and future response costs. In November 2008, all parties appealed the Court’s ruling. Also in November 2008, the EPA issued an Administrative Order pursuant to Section 106 of CERCLA ordering Dawn and Newmont to conduct water treatment, testing and other preliminary remedial actions. Newmont has initiated those preliminary remedial actions. However, the issue of whether the EPA’s current preferred remedy is consistent with the National Contingency Plan has not yet come before the Court.
Newmont intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter and cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this lawsuit or the likelihood of any other action against Dawn or Newmont arising from this matter.
Dawn Mill Site. Dawn also owns a uranium mill site facility, located on private land near Ford, Washington, which is subject to state and federal regulation. In late 1999, Dawn sought and later received approval from the State of Washington for a revised closure plan that expedites the reclamation process at the site. The currently approved plan for the site is guaranteed by Newmont.
Newmont Canada Limited (“Newmont Canada”) — 100% Newmont Owned
On November 11, 2008, St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) filed an Application in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada, seeking a declaration to clarify St. Andrew’s royalty obligations regarding certain mineral rights and property formerly owned by Newmont Canada and now owned by St. Andrew.
Newmont Canada purchased the property, called the Holt-McDermott property (“Holt Property”), from Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) in October 2004. At that time, Newmont Canada entered into a royalty agreement with Barrick (the “Barrick Royalty”), allowing Barrick to retain a royalty on the Holt Property. In August 2006, Newmont Canada sold all of its interests in the Holt Property to Holloway Mining Company (“Holloway”) in exchange for common stock issued by Holloway. In September 2006, Newmont Canada entered into a purchase and sale agreement with St. Andrew (the “2006 Agreement”), under which St. Andrew acquired all the common stock of Holloway. In 2008, Barrick sold its Barrick Royalty to Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”).
In the court proceedings, St. Andrew alleged that in the 2006 Agreement it only agreed to assume royalty obligations equal to 0.013% of net smelter returns from operations on the Holt Property. Such an interpretation of the 2006 Agreement would make Newmont responsible for any royalties exceeding that amount payable to Royal Gold pursuant to the Barrick Royalty. On July 23, 2009, the Court issued a decision finding in favor of St. Andrews’ interpretation. On August 21, 2009, Newmont Canada appealed the decision. Newmont Canada intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Newmont Capital Limited (“Newmont Capital”) — 100% Newmont Owned
In February 1999, the EPA placed the Lava Cap mine site in Nevada County, California on the National Priorities List under CERCLA. The EPA then initiated a RI/FS under CERCLA to determine environmental conditions and remediation options at the site.
Newmont Capital, formerly known as Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation, Inc., owned the property for approximately three years from 1984 to 1986 but never mined or conducted exploration at the site. The EPA asserts that Newmont Capital is responsible for clean up costs incurred at the site. Newmont Capital and the EPA entered into a consent decree to settle all aspects of this matter except future potential Natural Resource Damage claims. In February 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California approved the consent decree and the settlement was completed.
Newmont USA Limited — 100% Newmont Owned
Pinal Creek. Newmont is a defendant in a lawsuit brought on November 5, 1991 in U.S. District Court in Arizona by the Pinal Creek Group, alleging that Newmont and others are responsible for some portion of costs incurred to address groundwater contamination emanating from copper mining operations located in the area of Globe and Miami, Arizona. Two former subsidiaries of Newmont, Pinto Valley Copper Corporation and Magma Copper Company (now known as BHP Copper Inc.) owned some of the mines in the area between 1983 and 1987. The court has dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking to hold Newmont liable for the acts or omissions of its former subsidiaries. Newmont believes it has strong defenses to plaintiffs’ remaining claims, including, without limitation that Newmont’s agents did not participate in any pollution causing activities; that Newmont’s liabilities, if any, were contractually transferred to one of the plaintiffs; that portions of plaintiffs’ claimed damages are not recoverable; and that Newmont’s equitable share of liability, if any, would be immaterial. While Newmont has denied liability and is vigorously defending these claims, it cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.
Grass Valley . On February 3, 2004, the City of Grass Valley, California brought suit against Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This matter involves an abandoned mine adit on property previously owned by a predecessor of Newmont and currently owned by the City of Grass Valley. The complaint alleges that the adit is discharging metals-bearing water into a stream on the property, in concentrations in excess of current EPA drinking water standards. On February 4, 2009, this matter was fully resolved by settlement. Pursuant to the settlement, Newmont has agreed to manage the water discharge on an ongoing basis.
Gray Eagle Mine Site . By letter dated September 3, 2002, the EPA notified Newmont that the EPA had expended $3 in response costs to address environmental conditions associated with a historic tailings pile located at the Grey Eagle Mine site near Happy Camp, California, and requested that Newmont pay those costs. The EPA has identified four potentially responsible parties, including Newmont. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the Grey Eagle Mine site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.
Ross-Adams Mine Site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (“PTNMR”) — 80% Newmont Owned
In July 2004, a criminal complaint was filed against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, alleging environmental pollution relating to submarine tailings placement into nearby Buyat Bay. The Indonesian police detained five PTNMR employees during September and October of 2004. The police investigation and the detention of PTNMR’s employees was declared illegal by the South Jakarta District Court in December 2004, but in March 2005, the Indonesian Supreme Court upheld the legality of the police investigation, and the police turned their evidence over to the local prosecutor. In July 2005, the prosecutor filed an indictment against PTNMR and its President Director, alleging environmental pollution at Buyat Bay. After the court rejected motions to dismiss the proceeding, the trial proceeded and all evidence, including that of the defense, was presented in court by September 2006. In November 2006 the prosecution filed its charge, seeking a three-year jail sentence for PTNMR’s President Director plus a nominal fine. In addition, the prosecution recommended a nominal fine against PTNMR. The defense filed responses in January 2007, and final briefing was completed in March 2007. On April 24, 2007, the court entered its verdict acquitting PTNMR and its President Director of all charges. In May 2007, the prosecution appealed the decision of the court to the Indonesian Supreme Court, despite Indonesian laws that prohibit the appeal of a verdict of acquittal. In October 2008, a panel of Supreme Court justices was assigned to consider the appeal. In April 2009, the Indonesian Supreme Court summarily dismissed the appeal of the prosecutor related to PTNMR and its President Director.
In addition, on March 22, 2007, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (“WALHI”) filed a civil suit against PTNMR and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Ministry for the Environment, alleging pollution from the disposal of mine tailings into Buyat Bay, and seeking a court order requiring PTNMR to fund a 25-year monitoring program in relation to Buyat Bay. In December 2007, the court ruled in PTNMR’s favor and found that WALHI’s allegations of pollution in Buyat Bay were without merit. In March 2008, WALHI appealed this decision to the Indonesian Supreme Court.
Independent sampling and testing of Buyat Bay water and fish, as well as area residents, conducted by the World Health Organization and the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, confirm that PTNMR has not polluted the Buyat Bay environment, and, therefore, has not adversely affected the fish in Buyat Bay or the health of nearby residents. The Company remains steadfast that it has not caused pollution or health problems.
Other Legal Matters
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”) — 51.35% Newmont Owned
Choropampa . In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.
Yanacocha, various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newmont, and other defendants have been named in lawsuits filed by approximately 1,100 Peruvian citizens in Denver District Court for the State of Colorado. These actions seek compensatory damages based on claims associated with the elemental mercury spill incident. The parties in these cases agreed to submit these matters to binding arbitration. In October 2007, the parties to the arbitration entered a court-approved settlement agreement, resolving most of these cases. In April 2009, all remaining matters were settled.
Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which should result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. Neither Newmont nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

Conga. Yanacocha is involved in a dispute with the Provincial Municipality of Celendin regarding the authority of that governmental body to regulate the development of the Conga project. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Municipality of Celendin enacted an ordinance declaring the area around Conga to be a mining-free reserve and naturally protected area. Yanacocha challenged this ordinance by means of two legal actions, one filed by Yanacocha (as the lease holder of the Conga mining concessions) and one filed by Minera Chaupiloma (as the titleholder of the Conga mining concessions). In August 2007, a Peruvian Court of first instance upheld Chaupiloma’s claim, stating that the Municipality of Celendin lacks the authority to create natural protected areas. The Municipality of Celendin has not appealed the ruling. In July 2008, a Peruvian Court of first instance dismissed Yanacocha’s claim as groundless. Yanacocha appealed the ruling to the appellate Court in Lima, and in January 2009, the appellate Court in Lima reversed the lower Court ruling and upheld Yanacocha’s claim.
Newmont Yandal Operations Pty Ltd (“NYOL”) — 100% Newmont Owned
On September 3, 2003, J. Aron & Co. commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales (Australia) against NYOL, its subsidiaries and the administrator in relation to the completed voluntary administration of the NYOL group. J. Aron & Co., a NYOL creditor, initially sought injunctive relief that was denied by the court on September 8, 2003. On October 30, 2003, J. Aron & Co. filed a statement of claim alleging various deficiencies in the implementation of the voluntary administration process and seeking damages and other relief against NYOL and other parties. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the final outcome of this lawsuit.
PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) — 45% Newmont Owned
Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares must be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, has owned and continues to own a 20% interest in PTNNT, in 2006 a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and in each of 2007 through 2010 an additional 7% interest must be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interest must be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares would be accepted for listing on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Pursuant to this provision, it is possible that the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT could be reduced to 49% or that subsequent disputes could arise concerning the divestiture of the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT.
Initial arbitration matter
PTPI has owned and continues to own a 20% interest in PTNNT, and therefore the Newmont-Sumitomo partnership was required to offer a 3% interest in PTNNT for sale in 2006 and an additional 7% interest in each of 2007 through 2010. In accordance with the Contract of Work, an offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the Indonesian government in 2006 and an offer for an additional 7% interest was made in each of 2007 and 2008. A further 7% interest in the shares of PTNNT was offered for sale in March 2009. While the central government declined to participate in the 2006 and 2007 offers, local governments in the area in which the Batu Hijau mine is located expressed interest in acquiring shares, as did various Indonesian nationals. In January 2008, the Newmont-Sumitomo partnership agreed to sell, under a carried interest arrangement, 2% of PTNNT’s shares to Kabupaten Sumbawa, one of the local governments, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. The Indonesian government subsequently stated that it would not approve the transfer of shares under this agreement. On February 11, 2008, PTNNT received notification from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources (“DEMR”) alleging that PTNNT is in breach of its divestiture requirements under the Contract of Work, and threatening to issue a notice to terminate the Contract of Work if PTNNT did not agree to divest the 2006 and 2007 shares, in accordance with the direction of the DEMR, by February 22, 2008, which date was extended to March 3, 2008. A second Notice of Default was received relating to the alleged failure to divest the 2008 shares as well. On March 3, 2008, the Indonesian government filed for international arbitration as provided under the Contract of Work, as did PTNNT. In the arbitration proceeding, PTNNT sought a declaration that the Indonesian government is not entitled to terminate the Contract of Work and additional declarations pertaining to the procedures for divesting the shares. For its part, the Indonesian government sought declarations that PTNNT is in default of its divestiture obligations, that the government may terminate the Contract of Work and recover damages for breach of the Contract of Work, and that PTNNT must cause shares subject to divestiture to be sold to certain local governments.

Second arbitration matter
In 1997, to enable development of the Batu Hijau mine, PTNNT secured an aggregate $1,000 in financing from the United States Export-Import Bank, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (formerly the Japan Export-Import Bank), and Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (the German Export-Import Bank) (collectively, the “Senior Lenders”). The Senior Lenders required the shareholders of PTNNT to pledge 100% of the shares of PTNNT as security for repayment of the loans. As part of that process, on October 30, 1997, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources approved the share pledge arrangements.
Subsequent to an additional 7% interest in PTNNT being offered by NTP for sale on March 28, 2008 (as required under the Contract of Work), the Director General of Mineral, Coal and Geothermal Resources at DEMR claimed that PTNNT breached its obligations under the Contract of Work by allowing shares to be offered for sale that are pledged to the Senior Lenders as security for the repayment of the senior debt. In the letter, the Director General claimed that NTP would be in default under the Contract of Work if the shares of PTNNT offered for sale in March 2008, together with the shares offered in 2006 and 2007, were not in the possession of “Indonesian government and/or government owned entities,” free of any such senior pledge, by July 13, 2008. Consequently, on July 10, 2008, PTNNT filed a notice to commence an additional international arbitration proceeding, as provided for under the Contract of Work, to resolve the claim that PTNNT breached its obligations under the Contract of Work by allowing shares to be offered that are subject to pledge obligations to the Senior Lenders. This issue was incorporated into and resolved as part of the initial arbitration proceeding.
An international arbitration panel was appointed to resolve these claims and a hearing was held in Jakarta in December 2008. On March 31, 2009, the arbitration panel issued its Final Award and decision on the matter. In its decision, the arbitration panel determined that PTNNT’s foreign shareholders had not complied with the divestiture procedure required by the Contract of Work in 2006 and 2007, but the panel ruled that the Indonesian government is not entitled to immediately terminate the Contract of Work and the panel rejected the Indonesian government’s claim for damages. The Arbitration Panel granted PTNNT 180 days from the date of notification of the Final Award to transfer the 2006 3% interest and the 2007 7% interest in PTNNT to the local governments or their respective nominees. The Arbitration Panel also applied a 180-day cure period to the 2008 7% interest, ruling that PTNNT must (within such 180-day period) offer the 2008 7% interest to the Indonesian government or its nominee, and transfer such shares if, after agreement on the transfer price, the Indonesian government invokes its right of first refusal under the Contract of Work. The panel ruled that shares offered to the Indonesian government pursuant to the Contract of Work must be offered free of any pledge or obligation to re-pledge the shares to the Senior Lenders. Finally, the Panel directed PTNNT to pay to the Indonesian government an allocated portion of certain legal fees and costs of the arbitration. PTNNT submitted payment of $2 for legal fees and costs. The Company also entered a formal agreement with the Senior Lenders under which the Senior Lenders released the pledge on the aggregated 31% of shares in PTNNT that are subject to divestiture requirements in exchange for the Company and Sumitomo agreeing to provide joint and several guarantees, thus allowing the Company to transfer these shares free of any pledge or obligation to re-pledge the shares to the lenders. As discussed in Note 22, the Company subsequently replaced this joint and several guarantee in October with letters of credit supporting 56.25% of the obligations under the PTNNT project financing facility. On July 14, 2009, the Company reached agreement with the Indonesian government on the price of the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest. PTNNT has reoffered the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest to the Indonesian government at this newly agreed price. In September 2009, the deadline for completion of transfer of the 2006 3% interest, the 2007 7% interest and the 2008 7% interest was extended to November 12, 2009 by agreement between PTNNT and the Indonesian Government. This date coincides with the deadline for the sale and transfer of the 2009 7% interest. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these discussions. Subsequent disputes may arise concerning the divestiture of the shares including if the transfer is not completed to the satisfaction of the parties within the period described above.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
Tax contingencies are provided for under income tax accounting guidance (see Note 8).
In a 1993 asset exchange, a wholly-owned subsidiary transferred a coal lease under which the subsidiary had collected advance royalty payments totaling $484. From 1994 to 2018, remaining advance payments under the lease to the transferee total $390. In the event of title failure as stated in the lease, this subsidiary has a primary obligation to refund previously collected payments and has a secondary obligation to refund any of the $390 collected by the transferee, if the transferee fails to meet its refund obligation. The subsidiary has title insurance on the leased coal deposits of $240 covering the secondary obligation. The Company and the subsidiary regard the circumstances entitling the lessee to a refund as remote.
The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $29 in 2009, $23 in 2010 through 2013 and $140 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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were $872 and $778, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. In addition, the surety markets for certain types of environmental bonding used by the Company have become increasingly constrained. The Company, however, believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements, through existing or alternative means, as they arise.
Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above-described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 28 SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 11.5. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents income from continuing operations before income tax expense, equity loss of affiliates and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, divided by interest expense. Interest expense includes amortization of capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense representative of interest. Interest expense does not include interest on income tax liabilities. The computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges can be found in Exhibit 12.1.

Consolidated Financial Results
Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the third quarter of 2009 was $388, or $0.79 per share, compared to $191, or $0.42 per share in 2008. Results for the third quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 were impacted by increased gold and copper sales volumes, higher realized gold and copper prices and lower costs. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first nine months of 2009 was $739, or $1.52 per share, compared to $827, or $1.82 per share in 2008. Results for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 2008 were impacted by higher gold and copper sales volumes, higher realized gold prices and lower costs, partially offset by lower realized copper prices. The Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same periods for 2008, reflect higher average shares outstanding due to the issuance of 34,500,000 shares in February 2009.

Sales — gold , net for the third quarter of 2009 increased $372 compared to the third quarter of 2008 as a result of a 233,000 increase in consolidated gold ounces sold and a $99 per ounce increase in the average realized price after treatment and refining charges. Sales — gold, net for the first nine months of 2009 increased $307 compared to the first nine months of 2008 as a result of a 184,000 increase in consolidated gold ounces sold and a $30 per ounce increase in the average price realized after treatment and refining charges.

Costs applicable to sales decreased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 from 2008 as detailed in the table below. The decrease in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 is due to lower waste tons mined and lower diesel prices, partially offset by increased gold and copper sales volumes.
Amortization increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to 2008, due to increased gold and copper sales volumes as detailed in the table below. We expect Amortization expense in 2009 to be approximately $740 to $760.

General and administrative expenses increased $2 and $15 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to 2008, respectively, due to higher benefits, mainly pension and other post retirement costs. We expect 2009 General and administrative expenses to be approximately $150 to $160.

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

Canadian Oil Sands Trust income decreased $29 and $75 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2008 due to reduced distributions related to a significant decrease in oil prices. The decrease in interest income is a result of a lower global interest rate environment. Gain on sale of investments, net in 2008 was attributable to the sale of marketable equity securities. During the first nine months of 2009, we recognized impairments of marketable securities of $2 for Shore Gold, Inc. and $4 for other marketable securities. During the third quarter of 2008, we recognized impairments of marketable securities of $26 for Shore Gold Inc. and $8 for other marketable securities, resulting in total impairments for the first nine months of 2008 of $58 for Shore Gold Inc., $13 for Gabriel Resources Ltd. and $19 for other marketable securities.
Interest expense, net decreased by $25 and $33 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008 mainly due to higher capitalized interest, partially offset by additional interest on the convertible senior notes. Capitalized interest increased $35 and $50 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008 primarily due to construction of the Boddington project. We expect 2009 Interest expense, net to be approximately $100 to $110.

Table of Contents

Income tax expense during the third quarter of 2009 was $253 compared to $6 during the third quarter of 2008. The increase primarily relates to (i) the increase in pre-tax income, and (ii) the reduction in income taxes in 2008 resulting from revised estimates of reserves for uncertain income tax positions. Income tax expense during the first nine months of 2009 was $494 compared to $193 during the first nine months of 2008. The increase primarily relates to (i) the increase in pre-tax income, (ii) the reduction in income taxes in 2008 resulting from revised estimates of uncertain income tax positions, and (iii) the reduction in income taxes in 2008 realized from the conversion of one of the Company’s non-US subsidiaries to a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes which gave rise to a significant capital loss allowing the Company to recover income taxes paid on prior years capital gains.
In addition to the non-recurring items discussed above, the effective tax rates in the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 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 Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Newmont’s Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed September 15, 2009. We expect the 2009 income tax rate to be approximately 28% to 30%, assuming an average gold price of $900 per ounce.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $226 and $198 in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2009, respectively, as a result of increased earnings at Yanacocha and Batu Hijau.

Incremental start-up sales includes the removal and production of de minimis saleable materials during development and is recorded as Other income , net of incremental mining and processing costs.	
 		
(2)	 	Excludes Amortization and Accretion .	
 		
(3)	 	Consolidated gold ounces and copper pounds sold includes noncontrolling interests’ share for Yanacocha and Batu Hijau.	
Consolidated gold ounces sold increased 15% in the third quarter of 2009 from 2008, primarily due to higher production from South America and Asia Pacific, partially offset by lower production from North America. Consolidated copper pounds sold more than tripled in the third quarter of 2009 from 2008 due to higher production at Batu Hijau.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold decreased 13% in the third quarter of 2009 from 2008, due to lower waste mining, higher production, lower diesel prices, higher by-product credits and lower royalty costs. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound decreased 75% in the third quarter of 2009 from 2008, primarily due to lower waste mining, higher production and lower diesel prices.
Consolidated gold ounces sold increased 4% in the first nine months of 2009 from 2008, primarily due to higher production from South America, Asia Pacific and Africa, partially offset by lower production from North America. Consolidated copper pounds sold increased 70% in the first nine months of 2009 from 2008 due to higher production at Batu Hijau.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold decreased 3% in the first nine months of 2009 from 2008, due to lower waste mining, higher production and lower diesel prices, partially offset by lower by-product credits. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound decreased 63% in the first nine months of 2009 from 2008, primarily due to lower waste mining, higher production, lower diesel prices and an increase in ore stockpile inventory.
We expect consolidated gold sales of between 6.4 and 6.5 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales of between $400 and $425 per ounce. Our Costs applicable to sales forecast for 2009 now assumes an oil price of $80 per barrel and an Australian dollar exchange rate of 0.80 for the remainder of the year. Our Costs applicable to sales for the year are expected to change by approximately $1 per ounce for every $10 change in the oil price. We continue to hedge a portion of our North America diesel and Australian dollar cost exposure.

Third quarter 2009 compared to 2008
Nevada, USA. Gold ounces sold decreased 7% due to lower leach tons placed and lower mill ore grade. Surface ore mined decreased 21% to 8.5 million tons, including a 40% decrease in leach ore placed to 3.4 million tons, and waste mining increased 23% to 4.6 million tons, primarily due to mine sequencing at Gold Quarry. Underground ore mined increased to 720,000 tons from 637,000 tons due to higher mining rates at Leeville and remnant mining at Carlin East. Underground ore grade decreased 7% due to lower grade at Leeville and Turquoise Ridge. Ore milled was 6.5 million tons up from 6.1 million tons. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased to $541 from $497 per ounce due to lower production, partially offset by higher by-product credits.

Third quarter 2009 compared to 2008
Jundee, Australia . Gold ounces sold decreased 2% due to lower inventory sales, partially offset by milling higher grade material. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased to $329 from $414 per ounce primarily due to lower power and underground mining costs.
Tanami, Australia . Gold ounces sold decreased 24% due to milling lower grade material. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased by 7% due to lower production, partially offset by lower royalties.
Kalgoorlie, Australia . Gold ounces sold increased 16% due to higher mill throughput and recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 19% due to higher production and lower diesel prices.
Waihi, New Zealand . Gold ounces sold decreased 32% due to an electrical fire at the mill in May 2009 which suspended milling activities until August. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased to $518 from $397 due to lower production, partially offset by lower operating costs during the temporary suspension of milling activities.
Batu Hijau, Indonesia . Copper and gold sales at Batu Hijau increased significantly due to higher mill throughput, grade and recovery due to processing higher grade and softer Phase 5 ore. The third quarter of 2008 was also impacted by a delayed shipment. Copper and gold production increased by 104% and 196%, respectively. As a result, Costs applicable to sales decreased approximately 75%, to $0.50 per pound of copper and $178 per ounce of gold.

Boddington, Australia. Boddington began milling ore during the third quarter of 2009 and had its first gold pour and copper concentrate shipments in September. We expect to begin commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2009. Construction was substantially complete at September 30, 2009 and we expect total project costs of approximately $3,000, excluding capitalized interest, on a 100% basis.
First nine months 2009 compared to 2008
Jundee, Australia . Gold ounces sold were consistent as higher mill throughput was offset by lower grade and recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased to $339 from $411 per ounce due to lower power and underground mining costs.
Tanami, Australia . Gold ounces sold decreased 14% primarily due to milling lower grade material. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 4% primarily as a result of lower gold production and higher royalties.
Kalgoorlie, Australia . Gold ounces sold increased 13% due to higher mill throughput, grade and recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 22% due to higher production, lower diesel prices and lower mill consumable costs.
Waihi, New Zealand . Gold ounces sold decreased 21% due to the temporary suspension of milling operations. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased to $457 from $428 per ounce due to lower production, higher royalty costs and higher by-product credits, partially offset by lower operating costs.
Batu Hijau, Indonesia . Copper and gold sales at Batu Hijau increased 70% and 106%, respectively, due to higher mill throughput, grade and recovery due to processing higher grade and softer Phase 5 ore compared to ore sourced primarily from lower grade stockpiles in 2008. Total Costs applicable to sales decreased $112 due to changes in ore stockpiles and concentrate inventory and lower mining costs. Costs applicable to sales decreased to $0.63 per pound of copper and $232 per ounce of gold, primarily a result of higher sales volumes.
On September 18, 2009, Batu Hijau experienced a geotechnical failure in a portion of the west wall of the open-pit. Batu Hijau utilizes a number of preventive measures, including radar threshold alarms, to monitor movements in the pit walls. As a result, mobile equipment and personnel were evacuated from the pit prior to the wall failure. Operations were suspended for approximately three weeks in the pit pending a geotechnical review and development of a remediation plan to recommence mining operations. Batu Hijau continued to process lower grade ore from stockpiles during the suspension period. Mining operations returned to normal on October 10. With higher than forecasted production during the first nine months of 2009, the geotechnical failure is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s previously released guidance for 2009 sales volumes and unit costs. However, the geotechnical failure will require the accelerated removal of waste material displaced from the event as well as changes to the balance of Phase 5 and the initiation of Phase 6. In general, the Company expects delays in access to ore previously anticipated in 2010 and 2011 with a marginal decrease in ore mined from the ultimate Phase 6 pit.
With the Boddington ramp up underway later in the year, we expect gold sales for the Asia Pacific operations of approximately 1.7 to 1.85 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $450 to $470 per ounce in 2009. We expect 2009 copper sales for the Asia Pacific operations to be approximately 460 to 510 million pounds of copper at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $0.50 to $0.65 per pound.
We currently have a 45% ownership interest in the Batu Hijau mine, held through the Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan. We have a 56.25% interest in NTP and the Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), the Indonesian subsidiary that owns Batu Hijau. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company.
Under the Contract of Work issued to PTNNT by the Indonesian government, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares must be offered for sale to the Indonesian government or its nominee, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. The price at which such interest must be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares would be accepted for listing on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. In March 2008, the Indonesian government and PTNNT each instituted an arbitration proceeding to resolve a dispute concerning the divestiture of PTNNT shares. On March 31, 2009, the international arbitration panel issued a final award resolving the claims asserted. For further information related to the dispute and the international arbitration proceeding, including a description of the factual basis for the claims, and a description of the arbitration decision, refer to Note 27, Commitments and Contingencies. Pursuant to the arbitration decision and the terms of the Contract of Work, it is possible that the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT could be reduced to 49% or that subsequent disputes may arise concerning the divestiture of shares.

We follow the consolidation accounting guidance which provides guidance on the identification and reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. Such entities are defined as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). We identified NTP, the partnership that owns an 80% interest in PTNNT, as a VIE due to certain capital structures and contractual relationships. As a result of our 56.25% ownership in NTP, we consolidate Batu Hijau, and will continue to consolidate Batu Hijau, in our Consolidated Financial Statements as long as we continue to be the primary beneficiary of NTP and NTP controls PTNNT.
A divestiture of shares that results in the ownership interest of NTP in PTNNT being reduced to 49% may require us to deconsolidate PTNNT. In such circumstances, if NTP does not maintain the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact PTNNT’s economic performance, we would deconsolidate Batu Hijau and recognize the likely gain resulting from the divestiture of shares in earnings. In addition, we would record our remaining noncontrolling interest in PTNNT at fair value, with the related likely gain also recognized in earnings. Upon deconsolidation, we would account for our remaining noncontrolling interest in PTNNT as an equity method investment and would recognize our portion of PTNNT’s earnings thereafter as a single line item in our consolidated statements of income. If we continue to consolidate Batu Hijau, any gains resulting from divestiture of shares would be included in Newmont stockholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 25 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information relating to Batu Hijau.
The long awaited forest use permit (called a “Pinjam Pakai”) was received on September 1, 2009 and the permit renewal is valid until 2025. This permit is a key requirement to continue to operate Batu Hijau efficiently, in addition to the ultimate life of the mine and recoverability of reserves. We had been in discussions for over three years to extend the Pinjam Pakai.

Third quarter 2009 compared to 2008
Ahafo, Ghana . Gold ounces sold were 4% lower due to an increase in finished goods inventory, partially offset by higher production as a result of higher mill throughput. Ore tons mined decreased to 2.9 million tons, down from 3.6 million tons as total tons mined decreased to 12.0 million tons from 14.8 million tons. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased to $446 from $402 due to lower gold sales volumes and processing higher cost stockpile material, partially offset by lower waste mining and power costs.
First nine months 2009 compared to 2008
Ahafo, Ghana . Gold ounces sold increased 8% due to milling higher grade material, partially offset by lower recovery. Ore tons mined increased 15% to 9.3 million tons as total tons mined increased 12% to 40.0 million tons due to additional mining equipment added in late 2008. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased due to higher labor, contracted services, maintenance and mill consumable costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower diesel costs.
We continue to expect gold sales of approximately 500,000 to 525,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $425 to $450 per ounce in 2009.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 22% and 28% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Approximately 22% and 28% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce by approximately $12 and $16, net of hedging gains and losses, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Provided from Operating Activities
Net cash provided from continuing operations was $1,946 for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $1,168 in 2008 primarily due to increased gold and copper sales volumes, a higher realized gold price and income tax refunds received in 2009, partially offset by lower realized copper prices.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $2,088 during the first nine months of 2009 compared to $1,617 during the same period of 2008 due to higher additions to property, plant and mine development and the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington.
Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Capital expenditures in North America for the first nine months of 2009 primarily related to surface and underground mine development at Nevada. Capital expenditures in South America primarily related to the Conga project and dewatering, mine maintenance and leach pad development at Yanacocha. The vast majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific were for the Boddington project, (which includes 100% of expenditures for 2009) with other capital expenditures for mine development in Australia and equipment purchases at Batu Hijau. At September 30, 2009, we have hedged 33% of our expected remaining Boddington project Australian dollar denominated capital expenditures for 2009 at an average rate of 0.80. Capital expenditures in Africa primarily related to mine and infrastructure development at Ahafo. The Company has narrowed its 2009 consolidated capital expenditure outlook to between $1,600 and $1,700, primarily as a result of the later than expected start-up of Boddington which is offset by lower capital expenditures throughout the rest of the portfolio.

Capital expenditures in North America during the first nine months of 2008 were primarily related to the completion of the power plant and mine development. South America capital expenditures were primarily related to construction of the gold mill, development of the Conga project and leach pad expansions. Capital expenditures in Asia Pacific largely resulted from the continued construction of the Boddington project in Australia and mine development and construction of a second tailings pipeline at Batu Hijau. Capital expenditures in Africa were mainly as a result of mine equipment purchases, the Awonsu, Ahafo North and Amoma pits development and mine development.
Investments in and proceeds from sale of marketable debt and equity securities. During the first nine months of 2009 we received $10 from the sale of asset backed commercial paper and marketable equity securities. During the first nine months of 2008, we purchased marketable equity securities of Gabriel Resources for $11 and other marketable securities for $7. In the first nine months of 2008, we received $50 from the sale of marketable equity securities.
Acquisitions. In the first nine months of 2009, we paid $741 (net of $1 cash acquired) and paid $14 in acquisition costs to acquire the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington. Consideration for the acquisition also includes $240 payable in cash and/or Newmont common stock, at our option, by December 2009 and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue less costs applicable to sales on a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable on one-third of gold sales from Boddington beginning in the second quarter of 2010. The completion of the acquisition in June 2009 brought Newmont’s interest in Boddington to 100%. Additionally, we paid $11 for a mining property near the La Herradura, Mexico operation in the first nine months of 2009. During the first nine months of 2008, we paid $318 to acquire the remaining outstanding common shares of Miramar, resulting in Miramar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. The total Miramar purchase price was $1,353.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided from financing activities was $2,689 during the first nine months of 2009 compared to $215 during the same period of 2008, for the reasons explained below.
Proceeds from and repayment of debt, net. During the first nine months of 2009, we received aggregate proceeds from debt of $4,302 comprised of: $1,082 net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes due in 2039, $896 net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes due in 2019, $504 net proceeds from the issuance of convertible senior notes due in 2012, $54 from short-term borrowings at Batu Hijau, $10 under the Ahafo project facility and $1,756 under our $2,000 revolving credit facility. In addition, we repaid $2,604 of debt: $43 for Batu Hijau project financing scheduled debt repayments, $24 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant (classified as a capital lease), $2,513 under our $2,000 revolving credit facility and $24 on other credit facilities and other capital leases. At September 30, 2009 we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is also used to secure the issuance of letters of credit totaling $320, primarily supporting reclamation obligations (see “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below).
Scheduled minimum debt repayments are $127 for the remainder of 2009, $157 in 2010, $336 in 2011, $603 in 2012, $116 in 2013 and $3,584 thereafter. We expect to be able to fund maturities of debt from Net cash provided by operating activities , cash balances, existing credit facilities, proceeds of asset sales and financing alternatives available in the public capital markets.
At September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all required debt covenants and other restrictions related to our debt agreements.
Dividends paid to common stockholders. We declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $0.30 per common share through September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008. Additionally, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, declared regular quarterly dividends on its exchangeable shares totaling C$0.3559 per share through September 30, 2009 and C$0.3031 through September 30, 2008. We paid dividends of $147 and $136 to common stockholders in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests. We paid dividends of $115 and $247 to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Proceeds from stock issuance. We received proceeds of $1,248 and $27 during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively, from the issuance of common stock. In February 2009 we completed a public offering of 34,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $37 per share for net proceeds of $1,233.
Discontinued Operations
Net operating cash provided from (used in) discontinued operations was $3 and $(105) in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the first nine months of 2008, we made tax payments of $153 related to the 2007 royalty portfolio sale.
Net cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations was $nil and $(11) in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations in 2008 included payment of accrued costs related to the 2007 royalty portfolio sale ($11) and capital expenditures at Kori Kollo ($5), partially offset by proceeds from the sale of Pajingo assets ($5).
Net cash used in financing activities of discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 were for scheduled debt payments at Kori Kollo.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements: operating leases (as disclosed in Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed on September 15, 2009) and $872 of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. We also provide a contingent support line of credit to PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara of which our pro-rata share is $11. We have sales agreements to sell copper concentrates at market prices as follows, in thousands of tons:

Environmental
Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. We conduct our operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believe our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $624 and $594, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently producing mineral properties.
In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. We believe that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $153 and $163 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 135% greater or 7% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2009. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are charged to Other expense, net in the period estimates are revised. During the first nine months of 2008, we had reclamation estimate revisions of $74 that relate primarily to an increase in the reclamation liability at the former Mt. Leyshon and Midnite mine sites. The Mt. Leyshon reclamation revision was for site characterization, stabilization and long-term surface water management due to overflow discharge from heavy rain. The Midnite mine site reclamation increased in light of the mid-2008 decisions made in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington.
For more information on our reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 23 and 27 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, capital expenditures were approximately $128 and $148, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.
We spent $15 and $34, respectively, during the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 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
The Accounting Standards Codification
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The ASC is a new structure which took existing accounting pronouncements and organized them by accounting topic. Relevant authoritative literature issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and select SEC staff interpretations and administrative literature was also included in the ASC. All other accounting guidance not included in the ASC is nonauthoritative. The ASC was effective for our interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009. The adoption of the ASC did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent Events
In May 2009, the ASC guidance for subsequent events was updated to establish accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The update sets forth: (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements. We adopted the updated guidance for our interim period ended June 30, 2009. The adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
In December 2008, the ASC guidance for retirement benefits was updated to expand the requirements of employers’ disclosures about post-retirement benefit plan assets in a defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plan. The objective is to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. These disclosures are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes.
Equity Method Investments
In November 2008, the ASC guidance for equity method and joint venture investments was updated to clarify the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The intent is to provide guidance on: (i) determining the initial measurement of an equity method investment, (ii) recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of an equity method investment and (iii) accounting for an equity method investee’s issuance of shares. The updated guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and was applied prospectively. The adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Equity-Linked Financial Instruments
In June 2008, the ASC guidance for derivatives and hedging when accounting for contracts in an entity’s own equity was updated to clarify the determination of whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock which would qualify as a scope exception from hedge accounting. The updated guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments
In May 2008, the ASC guidance was updated for 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. The update requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This requires an allocation of convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component is reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instrument’s expected life using the effective interest method. The updated guidance required retrospective application to all periods presented.
During July 2007, we completed an offering of $1,150 convertible senior notes due 2014 and 2017, each in the amount of $575. The 2014 notes, maturing on July 15, 2014, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.25% per annum, and the 2017 notes, maturing on July 15, 2017, pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 1.625% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.21 per share of common stock (24,887,956 shares of common stock). In connection with the convertible senior notes offering, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions (“Call Spread Transactions”). The Call Spread Transactions included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $46.21 was effectively increased to $60.27. At September 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amounts.
During February 2009, we completed an offering of $518 convertible senior notes due on February 15, 2012. The notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 3.00% per annum. The notes are convertible, at the holder’s option, equivalent to a conversion price of $46.25 per share of common stock (11,189,189 shares of common stock). At September 30, 2009, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amount.
We recorded the following in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the convertible senior notes:

As a result of adopting the updated guidance, the effective interest rates increased by approximately 5 percentage points to 8.5%, 6.0% and 6.25% for the 2012, 2014 and 2017 notes, respectively, for the non-cash amortization of the debt discount over the lives of the notes. Interest expense was increased by $9 which decreased our Income from continuing operations and Net income by $5 ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Interest expense was increased by $25 which decreased our Income from continuing operations and Net income by $16 ($0.03 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Had the update been effective in 2008, we would have charged our fourth quarter 2008 dividends to Additional paid-in capital rather than Retained earnings ; therefore, we made the reclassification in 2009. Cash flows from operations were not impacted by the adoption of the updated guidance. The impact on our 2009 opening balance in Retained earnings was as follows:
 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	At December 31,	 	
 	 	2008	 	
Balance before application of updated guidance	 	$	7	 	
Impact of adoption of updated guidance	 	 	(31	)	
Reclassification of dividends to Additional paid-in capital	 	 	28	 	
 	 	 	 	
Balance after application of updated guidance	 	$	4	 	
 	 	 	 	
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded $8 and $15 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded $22 and $41 of interest expense for the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the debt discount, respectively, related to the convertible senior notes. The remaining unamortized debt discount is amortized over the remaining 3, 5 and 8 year periods of the 2012, 2014 and 2017 convertible senior notes, respectively.

Accounting for the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the ASC guidance for Goodwill and Other Intangibles was updated to amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of this update is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under guidance for business combinations. The updated guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and was applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Derivative Instruments
In March 2008, the ASC guidance for derivatives and hedging was updated for enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and the related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 16 for our derivative instruments disclosure.
Business Combinations
In December 2007, the ASC guidance for business combinations was updated to provide new guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The updated guidance also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009 and applied it to the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).
In April 2009, the guidance was updated to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This update is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of the updated guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in the Boddington project completed on June 25, 2009 (see Note 14).
Noncontrolling Interests
In December 2007, the ASC guidance for Noncontrolling Interests was updated to establish accounting and reporting standards pertaining to: (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (“noncontrolling interest”), (ii) the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and (iv) the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. If a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in net income based on such fair value. For presentation and disclosure purposes, the guidance requires noncontrolling interests to be classified as a separate component of equity. We adopted the updated guidance on January 1, 2009. Except for presentation changes, the adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value Accounting
In September 2006, the ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted the updated guidance for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued an update to the guidance which delayed the effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. We adopted the updated guidance for our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on January 1, 2009.

Table of Contents

In April 2009, the guidance was further updated to provide additional guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly. In April 2009, the guidance for investments in debt and equity securities was updated to: (i) clarify the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other than temporarily impaired, (ii) provide guidance on the amount of an other-than-temporary impairment recognized for a debt security in earnings and other comprehensive income and (iii) expand the disclosures required for other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. Also in April 2009, the guidance for financial instruments was updated to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. Adoption of this updated guidance was required for our interim reporting period beginning April 1, 2009 with early adoption permitted. We adopted the updated guidance for the interim period ended March 31, 2009. Refer to Note 15 for further details regarding our assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Accounting
In August 2009, the ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to further define fair value of liabilities. This update provides clarification for circumstances in which: (i) a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, (ii) the liability has a restriction that prevents its transfer, and (iii) the identical liability is traded as an asset in an active market in which no adjustments to the quoted price of an asset are required. The updated guidance is effective for our interim reporting period beginning October 1, 2009. We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Variable Interest Entities
In June 2009, the ASC guidance for consolidation accounting was updated to require an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The updated guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. We currently account for Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) as a VIE and are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 3.	 	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).	
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability; and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Cash Flow Hedges
Given that the fair value of our derivative instruments are based upon market rates and prices and that the volatility of these rates and prices are dependent on many factors subject to fluctuation, we are exposed to liquidity risks related to these contracts. We cash settle the fair value of each contract upon settlement with our counterparties. The settlement values of our contracts could differ significantly from the current fair values. As such, we are exposed to liquidity risk related to unfavorable changes in the fair value of our derivative contracts.
We had the following derivative instruments designated as hedges with fair values at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We utilize foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in currency rates.
We hedge up to 85% of our IDR, A$, and NZ$ denominated operating expenditures each period. The hedging instruments are forward purchase contracts with expiration dates ranging up to three years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period foreign exchange rates.
We hedge up to 95% of our A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of Boddington. The hedging instruments consist of a series of fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to one year from the date of issue. The realized gains and losses associated with the capital expenditure hedge program will impact Amortization during future periods in which the Boddington assets are placed into service.

Table of Contents

All of the foreign currency contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings .
We had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2009:

Diesel Price Risk
We hedge up to 66% of our operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at our Nevada operations to reduce the variability in realized diesel prices. The hedging instruments consist of a series of financially settled fixed forward contracts with expiration dates of up to two years from the date of issue. The contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future diesel purchases, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Treasury Rate Lock Contracts
In connection with the 2019 and 2039 notes issued in September 2009, we acquired treasury rate lock contracts to reduce the variability of the proceeds realized from the bond issuances. The treasury rate locks resulted in $6 and $5 unrealized gains for the 2019 and 2039 notes, respectively. We previously acquired treasury rate locks in connection with the issuance of the 2035 notes that resulted in a $10 unrealized loss. The gains/losses from these contracts will be recognized over the remaining terms of the respective notes.

Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2009, we had $100 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against a portion of our 8 5/8% debentures. The interest rate swap contracts were transacted to provide balance to our mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Under the hedge contract terms, we receive fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and pay floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 3.49%. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as fair value hedges, and as such, changes in fair value have been recorded in income in each period, consistent with recording changes to the mark-to-market value of the underlying hedged liability in income. Changes in the mark-to-market value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as a component of Interest expense, net. The hedge contracts decreased Interest expense, net by $1 and $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and decreased Interest expense, net by $3 and $1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, losses of $1 and $nil were included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, losses of $2 and $nil, respectively, were included in Other income, net for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges.
Commodity Price Risk
LME copper prices averaged $2.65 per pound during the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $2.73 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $2.12 per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $2.23 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The applicable forward copper price at the end of the quarter was $2.79 per pound. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, increasing copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $48 ($0.34 per pound). During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $112 ($0.33 per pound). At September 30, 2009, we had copper sales of 140 million pounds priced at an average of $2.79 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.
The average London P.M. gold fix was $960 per ounce during the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with our recorded average provisional gold price of $961 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. gold fix was $931 per ounce during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with our recorded average provisional gold price of $930 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The applicable forward gold price at the end of the quarter was $996 per ounce. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $5 ($3 per ounce). During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $6 ($1 per ounce). At September 30, 2009, we had gold sales of 96,000 ounces priced at an average of $996 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

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.

ITEM 1.	 	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.	
Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 27 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A.	 	RISK FACTORS.	
The following risk factors contain information that updates those contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2009, and amended by Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 8, 2009.
Our Interest in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) in Indonesia May be Reduced or Terminated under the Contract of Work
We operate Batu Hijau, a producer of copper/gold concentrates, in which we currently have a 45% ownership interest, held through the Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) with an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation of Japan. We have a 56.25% interest in NTP and a Sumitomo affiliate holds the remaining 43.75%. NTP in turn owns 80% of PTNNT, the Indonesian subsidiary that owns Batu Hijau. The remaining 20% interest in PTNNT is owned by P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated Indonesian company.
Under the Contract of Work executed in 1986 between the Indonesian government and PTNNT, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares must be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, such portion 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 could be reduced to 49%, thus reducing our ability to control the operation at Batu Hijau.
PTPI has owned and continues to own a 20% interest in PTNNT, and therefore NTP was required to offer a 3% interest in the shares of PTNNT for sale in 2006 and an additional 7% interest in each of 2007, 2008 and 2009. 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 each of 2007, 2008 and 2009. Following notifications from the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources (the “DEMR”) alleging that PTNNT was in breach of its divestiture requirements under the Contract of Work and threatening to issue a notice to terminate the Contract of Work if PTNNT did not agree to divest by 2006, 2007, and 2008 shares in accordance with the direction of the DEMR, the matter was submitted to an international arbitration panel. That panel ruled in March 2009 that the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares must be sold by the end of September 2009 and gave PTNNT until then to cure any default by selling the shares. On July 14, 2009, the Company reached agreement with the Indonesian government on the price of the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest. PTNNT has reoffered the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest to the Indonesian government at this newly agreed price. In September 2009, the deadline for completion of transfer of the 2006 3% interest, the 2007 7% interest and the 2008 7% interest was extended to November 12, 2009 by agreement between PTNNT and the Indonesian Government. This date coincides with the deadline for the sale and transfer of the 2009 7% interest. Future disputes may arise as to the divestiture of the shares, the outcome of which cannot be predicted. It is uncertain who will acquire the divestiture shares or the nature of our relations with the new owner or owners.
Our Batu Hijau Operation in Indonesia is Subject to Political and Economic Risks
We have a substantial investment in Indonesia, a nation that since 1997 has undergone financial crises and devaluation of its currency, outbreaks of political and religious violence and acts of terrorism, changes in national leadership, and the secession of East Timor, one of its former provinces. These factors heighten the risk of abrupt changes in the national policy toward foreign investors, which in turn could result in unilateral modification of concessions or contracts, increased taxation, denial of permits or permit renewals or expropriation of assets. Presidential and parliamentary elections recently took place, and although the president was re-elected, new ministers or members of parliament may have different (and potentially more negative) views relating to mining in general or relative to our assets and operations from those of their predecessors.
Recent violence committed by radical elements in Indonesia and other countries, and the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, may increase the risk that operations owned by U.S. companies will be the target of violence. If our Batu Hijau operation was so targeted it could have an adverse effect on our business.

The designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each class of stock of the Corporation which are fixed by this Certificate of Incorporation, and the express grant of authority to the Board of Directors of the Corporation to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the Preferred Stock which are not fixed by this Certificate of Incorporation, are as follows:
1. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as in this Article Fourth provided. All shares of Preferred Stock shall be of equal rank and shall be identical in all respects, except in respect of the particulars fixed by the Board of Directors for series of the Preferred Stock as permitted by the provisions of this Article Fourth. Each series of Preferred Stock shall be distinctively designated, and all shares of any one series of Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects with all the other shares of such series, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to the dates, if any, from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative.
2. Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors, by resolution or resolutions, from time to time to create and provide for the issuance of series of the Preferred Stock and, in connection with the creation of each such series, to fix by the resolution or resolutions providing for the creation and issue of shares of such series the following provisions of the shares of such series, so far as not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article Fourth applicable to all series of Preferred Stock:
(a) The designation of such series and the number of shares which shall constitute such series;
(b) The dividend rate per annum, if any, at which holders of shares of such series shall be entitled to receive dividends, whether or not dividends on the shares of such series shall be cumulative, the times at which and the quarterly dividend periods for which dividends on such series shall be paid, the date or dates, if any, from which dividends shall be cumulative and the other conditions, if any, on which such dividends shall be paid;
(c) The time or times, if any, at which the shares of such series shall be subject to redemption, in whole or in part, the price or prices to which holders of shares of such series shall be entitled upon such redemption, and the other terms and conditions, if any, on which shares of such series may be so redeemed;
(d) The amount or amounts and the other rights, if any, to which the holders of shares of such series shall be entitled upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation or upon any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation;
 
 -4- 

 

(e) The sinking fund or purchase fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares of such series and, if any such fund is so provided for the benefit of such shares, the amount of such fund and the manner of its application;
(f) The extent of the voting powers, if any, of the shares of such series;
(g) Whether or not the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock, or of any series thereof, of the Corporation and, if so convertible or exchangeable, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, the adjustments thereof and the other terms and conditions, if any, on which shares shall be so convertible or exchangeable; and
(h) Any other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of shares of such series as are not fixed and determined in this Article Fourth.
3. The powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitation or restrictions thereof, applicable to the Preferred Stock of all series are as follows:
(a) Out of the funds of the Corporation legally available for dividends, the holders of the Preferred Stock of each series shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, cash dividends at such rate, and no more, and payable at such times and for such quarterly dividend periods as shall be fixed for such series by the Board of Directors as herein permitted. Dividends on any shares of Preferred Stock shall be cumulative only if and to the extent fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors. Accumulations of dividends, if any, shall not bear interest.
No such dividend shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any share of Preferred Stock for any quarterly dividend period unless a dividend for the same quarterly dividend period and all past quarterly dividend periods, if any, ending within such quarterly dividend period, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall be or have been paid or declared and set apart for payment on all shares of Preferred Stock of all series then outstanding and entitled to receive dividends for such quarterly dividend period or for any past quarterly dividend period, if any, ending within such quarterly dividend period.
In no event, so long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, shall any dividend, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or any other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets and the payment of dividends (the Common Stock, and any such other class of stock being hereinafter sometimes referred to as “junior stock”), be declared or paid upon, nor shall any distribution be made upon, any junior stock, nor shall any shares of junior stock be purchased or redeemed by the Corporation other than in exchange for junior stock, nor, shall any monies be paid or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any junior stock, unless in each instance dividends on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods shall have been paid and the dividend on all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock for the then applicable current quarterly dividend period shall have been paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart.
 
 -5- 

 

(b) The Corporation, at its election expressed by resolution of the Board of Directors, may redeem the shares of any series of the Preferred Stock at such time or times, at such price or prices and on such other terms and conditions (not inconsistent with the provisions of this subparagraph (b)) as are fixed for such series by the Board of Directors as permitted herein plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid on such series of Preferred Stock to and including the date fixed for redemption (the total sum so payable per share on any such redemption being hereinafter called the “Redemption Price” and the date fixed for redemption being hereinafter called the “Redemption Date”). If as permitted by the terms fixed for such series by the Board of Directors, less than all outstanding shares of any series of Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of said series to be redeemed shall be chosen by lot or pro rata in such equitable manner as the Board of Directors may determine.
Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed not less than 30 nor more than 90 days in advance of the Redemption Date to the holders of record of the shares of Preferred Stock so to be redeemed at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Corporation.
From and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall default in paying or providing the funds necessary for the payment of the Redemption Price of the shares so called for redemption) the right to receive dividends on all shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and all rights of the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall forthwith, after the Redemption Date, cease and terminate, excepting only the right of such holders to receive the Redemption Price for such shares but without interest, and such shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding. Any funds so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of six years from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the Redemption Price.
 
 -6- 

 

If, on or after the giving of notice of redemption but before the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit with any bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York, having capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000, in trust to be applied to the redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption, then all rights of the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall forthwith, after the date of such deposit, cease and terminate (excepting only the right of such holders to receive the Redemption Price therefor but without interest and the right to exercise any conversion privilege not theretofore expired), and such shares shall not, after the date of such deposit, be deemed outstanding. Any funds so deposited which shall not be required for such redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion subsequent to the making of such deposit shall be returned to the Corporation. In case the holders of shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not, at the end of six years from the Redemption Date, have claimed any funds so deposited, such bank or trust company shall upon the request of the Corporation pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed funds, and such bank or trust company shall thereafter be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof to such holders and such holders shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the Redemption Price.
Any interest accrued on funds set aside or deposited for purposes of redemption as above provided shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time.
Shares of any series of Preferred Stock which have been redeemed, retired or purchased by the Corporation (whether through the operation of a sinking or purchase fund or otherwise) or which, if convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for shares of stock of the Corporation of any other class or classes, shall, upon appropriate filing and recording to the extent required by law, have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock.
(c) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount in cash for each share equal to the amount payable on such share in such event provided for by the Board of Directors as permitted herein for the series of Preferred Stock of which such share is a part plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid on such share up to the date fixed for distribution, and no more, before any distribution shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock.
If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation its net assets shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full of the respective amounts to which the holders of all outstanding Preferred Stock of all series are entitled as above provided, the entire remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock of all series in amounts proportionate to the full amounts to which they are respectively so entitled.
Neither the merger nor consolidation of the Corporation, nor the sale, lease or conveyance of all or a part of its assets, shall be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this subparagraph (c).

4. (a) Except for such voting powers as may be granted to the holders of Preferred Stock by law, subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4, or as may be granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors in accordance with paragraph 2(f) of this Article Fourth, voting power shall be vested exclusively in the Common Stock. At every meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation every holder of Common Stock entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock registered in his name on the books of the Corporation and, except as otherwise herein or by law provided, the Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Corporation (and any other capital stock of the Corporation at the time entitled thereto), shall vote together as a class.
(b) At any time when six (6) quarterly dividends on any one or more series of Preferred Stock entitled to receive cumulative dividends shall be in default, the holders of all such cumulative series at the time or times outstanding as to which such default shall exist shall be entitled, at the next annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof at which time the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two, voting as a class, whether or not the holders thereof shall otherwise be entitled to vote, to the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock and the holders of any series of non-cumulative Preferred Stock, to vote for and elect two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation to all such newly-created directorships. At any time when six (6) quarterly dividends on any one or more series of non-cumulative Preferred Stock shall be in default, the holders of all such non-cumulative series at the time or times outstanding as to which such default shall exist shall be entitled, at the next annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof at which time the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two, voting as a class, whether or not the holders thereof shall otherwise be entitled to vote, to the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock and the holders of any series of cumulative Preferred Stock, to vote for and elect two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation to fill such newly-created directorships. All rights of all series of Preferred Stock to participate in the election of directors pursuant to this subparagraph 4(b) shall continue in effect, in the case of all series of Preferred Stock entitled to receive cumulative dividends, until cumulative dividends have been paid in full or set apart for payment on each cumulative series which shall have been entitled to vote at the previous annual meeting of stockholders, or special meeting held in place thereof, or, in the case of all series of non-cumulative Preferred Stock, until non-cumulative dividends have been paid in full or set apart for payment for four consecutive quarterly dividend periods on each non-cumulative series which shall have been entitled to vote at the previous annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof. Whenever the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be divested of such voting right hereinabove provided, the directors so elected by the Preferred Stock shall thereupon cease to be directors of the Corporation and thereupon the number of directors shall be reduced by two or four, as the case may be. Directors elected by the holders of any one or more series of stock voting separately as a class, may be removed only by a majority vote of such series, voting separately as a class, so long as the voting power of such series shall continue. Subject to the voting rights, if any, of any other series of Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock, voting as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of such series so entitled to vote for and elect members of the Board of Directors pursuant to this subparagraph 4(b) shall be entitled to vote for and elect the balance of the Board of Directors. Each stockholder entitled to vote at any particular time in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall not have more than one vote for each share of Stock held of record by him at the time entitled to voting rights.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
 
BY-LAWS
 
ARTICLE I
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. Annual Meeting . An annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held in each year at such place, and on such date and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall designate in a resolution duly adopted by it, for the purpose of electing Directors and transacting such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
Section 2. Special Meetings . Special Meetings of the stockholders for any lawful purposes may be called by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board or by the President, and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board or by the President or the Secretary upon a written request stating the purposes thereof and signed by (i) a majority of the Board of Directors or (ii) stockholders owning 25% of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting. Each such meeting shall be held at such place, and on such date and at such time, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall designate in a resolution duly adopted by it, for the purposes stated in the notices thereof. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notices of the meeting.
Section 3. Notices and Waivers . Written notices of every meeting of the stockholders, stating the time, place and purposes thereof, shall be given personally, by mail or other means of electronic transmission not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. In the event of a special meeting called upon the written request of stockholders pursuant to Section 2 hereof, such notice shall describe any business set forth in the statement of purpose in such written request as well as any additional business proposed to be conducted at such meeting by the Board of Directors. If mailed, the notice shall be sent to the stockholders at their respective addresses appearing on the stock records of the Corporation or to such other addresses as they may have respectively designated in writing, and shall be deemed given when mailed. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law. A waiver of any notice in writing by a stockholder or by electronic transmission given by the person or persons entitled to such notice before or after the time for the meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to such notice.
Section 4. Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations .
(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

 

For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of the preceding paragraph, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the sixtieth day nor earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty days before or more than sixty days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner and the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.
Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of the preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least seventy days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(ii) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this By-Law, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by clause (i) of this By-Law shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(iii) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-Law and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this By-Law, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.
(iv) For purposes of this By-Law, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-Law. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.
Section 5. Stockholder List . For every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder, shall be made and be open to the examination of any stockholder during ordinary business hours for at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting at the Corporation’s principal place of business, and shall be produced at the meeting and be subject at all time during the meeting to the inspection of any stockholder present ; provided, however, that, where the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is set by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 4 of Article V hereof at a date that is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the Corporation’s obligation to provide a list of stockholders prior to the meeting is limited to preparing a list of those stockholders as of the tenth day before the meeting date.

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, “capital stock of the Corporation” shall be deemed to include that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of votes that the Trustee is entitled to vote from time to time under the Special Voting Share of the Corporation created pursuant to the terms of the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement dated February 16, 2002, between the Corporation, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited and Computershare Trust Company of Canada.

Any meeting at which there is a quorum may also be adjourned, in like manner, for such time or upon such call as may be determined by vote. An adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented may transact any business which might have been transacted at the meeting as first convened had there been a quorum.
Section 8. Chairman and Secretary . At every meeting of the stockholders the presiding officer shall be the Chairman of the Board, or in his absence the President, and in their absence a Vice President of the Corporation. The Secretary or in his absence an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, or in their absence the presiding officer may appoint any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 9. Voting . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation with respect to the ability of certain stockholders to cumulate votes in the election of directors, each stockholder present in person or by proxy at a meeting of the stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of the capital stock of the Corporation registered in the name of such stockholder on the books of the Corporation and entitled to vote at such meeting. No proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date unless it provides for a longer period. All elections of Directors shall be by a plurality vote by ballot. All other matters shall be decided by a majority vote viva voce of the stockholders present in person or by proxy except as otherwise specifically provided by any applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws; provided, however, that the presiding officer shall have the right to determine whether a stock vote with respect to any matter shall be taken by ballot. On votes taken by ballot, each ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and the number of shares voted.

Section 10. Inspectors of Elections . The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.
Section 11. Inspection of Books and Records . The Board of Directors shall determine whether and to what extent, and at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations, the books, accounts and records of the Corporation (other than the stock ledger), or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of any stockholder. No Stockholder shall have the right to inspect any books, accounts, records or documents of the Corporation unless expressly so authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware or by these By-Laws or by a resolution of the Board of Directors. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to the stockholders entitled to examine the stockholder list referred to in Section 5 of Article I hereof, and the original or a duplicate stock ledger containing the names and addresses of the stockholders and the number of shares held by them respectively shall be open at all times during usual business hours at the Corporation’s principal office to the examination of any stockholder.
Section 12. Action by Written Consent . Any action which is required to be or may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice to stockholders and without a vote if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall have been signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
ARTICLE II

Provided, however, that if no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held, and, for determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise any rights of change, conversion or exchange of stock or for any other purpose, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts a resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.

Section 4. Service of Certain Entities Deemed Requested . Any director or officer of the Corporation servicing (i) another corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of its directors is held by the Corporation, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any corporation referred in clause (i), in any capacity shall be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Corporation.
Section 5. Interpretation . Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article may elect to have the right to indemnification (or advancement of expenses) interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action, suit or proceeding, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time indemnification is sought.
Section 6. Indemnification Right . The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Article (i) is a contract right pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set forth in a separate written contract between the Corporation and the director or officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to events occurring prior thereto.

If a request to be indemnified or for the reimbursement or advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation or recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of or reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.
