In November and December 2009, Newmont, through NTP, completed
the sale and transfer of shares for a 17% interest in PTNNT, the
Indonesian subsidiary that operates Batu Hijau, to PT Multi
Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”) in compliance with
divestiture obligations under the Contract of Work, reducing
NTP’s ownership interest to 63% from 80%. Newmont has a
56.25% interest in NTP, with an affiliate of Sumitomo
Corporation of Japan (“Sumitomo”) holding the
remaining 43.75%. Newmont
identified NTP as a VIE as a result of certain capital
structures and contractual relationships. The share transfers
resulted in gains of approximately $63 (after tax of $115) that
have been recorded in <i>Additional paid in capital</i>. As a
result of the sale, Newmont’s ownership in Batu Hijau was
reduced from 45% to 35.44%.

In December 2009, Newmont entered into a transaction with
P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated
noncontrolling partner of PTNNT, whereby the Company agreed to
advance certain funds to PTPI in exchange for a pledge of the
noncontrolling partner’s 20% share of PTNNT dividends, net
of withholding tax, and the assignment of its voting rights to
the Company. As a result, PTPI was determined to be a VIE as it
has minimal equity capital and the voting rights to its 20%
interest in PTNNT reside with Newmont.

<div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 4%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: #ffffff">
Based on the above transaction, the Company recognized an
additional 17% effective economic interest in PTNNT. Combined
with the Company’s 56.25% ownership in NTP, Newmont has a
52.44% effective economic interest in PTNNT and continues to
consolidate Batu Hijau in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2007, because PTPI had been advanced a loan by NTP and was
not obligated to absorb the expected losses of PTNNT,
PTPI’s interest was considered a carried interest and
Newmont reported a 52.88% economic interest in Batu Hijau, which
reflected Newmont’s actual economic interest in the mine
until such time as the loan was fully repaid (including accrued
interest). On May 25, 2007, PTPI fully repaid the loan
(including accrued interest) from NTP. As a result of the loan
repayment, Newmont’s economic interest in Batu Hijau was
reduced from 52.88% to 45% and <i>Net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests </i>increased by $25 (after-tax) in the
second quarter of 2007.

SR.L. (“Yanacocha”), with the remaining interests held
by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the
International Finance Corporation (5%).
