NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

NOTE 1    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed February 24, 2012 on Form 10-K. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency and “$” to United States currency.

NOTE 2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill Impairment

In September 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to goodwill impairment. Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The update does not change how the Company performs the two-step impairment test under previous guidance. The Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of the guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting

In May 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures around fair value accounting. The updated guidance clarifies different components of fair value accounting including the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s January 1, 2012 adoption of the updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 9    INCOME AND MINING TAXES

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded estimated income and mining tax expense of $228, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the third quarter of 2011 was $371 for an effective tax rate of 36%. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2012 is a result of the following: (i) composition of income earned in 2012 is more heavily weighted to those jurisdictions for which the Company claims percentage depletion, (2) lower pretax book income in the current year is resulting in a larger favorable tax rate impact from the benefit of percentage depletion, and (iii) a small decrease in the valuation allowance recorded during the current quarter on the Company’s Canadian deferred tax assets generated in 2012 due to care and maintenance expenditures at Hope Bay compared to the prior quarter valuation allowance resulting from the impairment of certain marketable equity securities.

During the first nine months of 2012, estimated income and mining tax expense was $746, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first nine months of 2011 was $863 for an effective tax rate of 31%. The slightly higher effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2012 is primarily due to the change in valuation allowances recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and pay the income taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $237 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $19 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $10 to $15 in the next 12 months.

NOTE 10    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations include Holloway Mining Company, which owned the Holt-McDermott property (“Holt property”) and was sold to St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) in 2006. In 2009, the Superior Court issued a decision finding Newmont Canada Corporation (“Newmont Canada”) liable for a sliding scale royalty on production from the Holt property, which was upheld in 2011 by the Ontario Court of Appeal. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $33 charge, net of tax benefits of $2, to reflect higher gold prices offset by a decrease in future expected production at the Holt property due to new resource estimates. The total charges for the first nine months of 2012 are $104, net of tax benefits of $6.

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $12 and $4 in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, relate to payments on the Holt property royalty.

PTNNT operates the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in Indonesia. Based on ASC guidance for variable interest entities, Newmont consolidates PTNNT in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Newmont has a 51.35% ownership interest in Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”), with the remaining interests held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the International Finance Corporation (5%).

NOTE 12    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 except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect all dilutive instruments.

Options to purchase 2 and 3 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $57 and $57 were outstanding at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Under its convertible note indentures, Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of its 2014 and 2017 Convertible Senior Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion premium (average share price in excess of the conversion price), if any, in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with ASC guidance. The average price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the conversion prices for all periods presented, resulting in additional shares included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares.

In February 2012, the holders of the Company’s 2012 Convertible Senior Notes exercised their election to convert the notes. The Company elected to pay the $172 conversion premium with cash, and as a result no common shares were issued.

NOTE 14    ACQUISITIONS

On April 6, 2011, Newmont completed the acquisition of Fronteer Gold, Inc. (“Fronteer”). Under the Arrangement, shareholders of Fronteer received C$14.00 in cash and one-fourth of a common share in Pilot Gold, which retained certain exploration assets of Fronteer, for each common share of Fronteer. In connection with the acquisition, Newmont incurred transaction costs of $22, which were recorded in Other Expense, net in the first nine months of 2011.

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).

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	Fair Value at September 30, 2012

Liabilities:

Holt property royalty		274		—		—		274
	$	318	$	—	$	—	$	318

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 securities are segregated based on industry. 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 non-active markets and as such are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s marketable debt securities include investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The Company reviews the fair value for auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper on a quarterly basis. 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 using cash flow assumptions discounted approximately 42%, which reflects an estimated discount for lack of marketability. The Company estimated the fair value of its asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return ranging from 13%-74% for each class of notes, which is reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities. As a result of utilizing the unobservable inputs noted above in its fair value estimation of the Company’s auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper, both fair value estimates are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, subject to final pricing, is valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves 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. 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 estimated value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales. This contingent royalty is capped at $100, and at June 30,2012, the Company increased the accrual to the maximum of $100 using the following long-term price assumptions: 1) $1,500 per ounce gold price, 2) $3.50 per pound copper price, 3) $90 per barrel of oil, and 4) a $1.00 A$/US$ exchange rate. The Company used an approximate 4% discount rate in the model. The contingent royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Holt sliding scale royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices utilizing a long-term gold price assumption of $1,500 per ounce, various gold production scenarios based on publicly available reserve and resource information for the Holt property and an approximate 3% weighted average discount rate. The sliding scale royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

	Auction Rate Securities		Asset Backed Commercial Paper		Total Assets		Boddington Contingent Royalty			Holt Property Royalty			Total Liabilities
Balance at beginning of period	$	5	$	19	$	24	$	54		$	176		$	230

Revaluation		—		1		1		12			110			122
Balance at end of period	$	5	$	20	$	25	$	44		$	274		$	318

At September 30, 2012, assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent 1% and 100%, respectively, of total assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

NOTE 16    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company continues to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market. All of the derivative instruments described below were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow or fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

The foreign currency, diesel and forward starting swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

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 exchange rates. Newmont hedges a portion of the Company’s A$ and NZ$ denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to five years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ and $/NZ$ rates, respectively.

In June 2011, Newmont began hedging a portion of the Company’s A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the Akyem project in Africa utilizing fixed forward contracts with expiration dates up to two years.

Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts

Newmont hedges a portion of its operating cost exposure related to diesel 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 up to three years.

Newmont had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2012:

	Expected Maturity Date

Expected hedge ratio		69	%		54	%		27	%		8	%

Forward Starting Swap Contracts

During 2011, Newmont entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2,000. These contracts hedged movements in treasury rates related to a debt issuance that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. On March 8, 2012, Newmont closed its sale of $2,500 senior notes consisting of 3.5% senior notes due 2022 in the principal amount of $1,500 (10-year notes), and 4.875% senior notes due 2042 in the principal amount of $1,000 (30-year notes). As a result, the forward-starting interest rate swaps were settled for $362, of which $349 represented the effective portion of the hedging instrument included in Accumulated other comprehensive income. The net proceeds from the debt issuance were adjusted by the settlement amount of the swap contracts and included as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

The Company’s provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $3.50 per pound during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.53 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.61 per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.60 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $18 ($0.30 per pound) and gain of $31 ($0.19 per pound), respectively. At September 30, 2012, Newmont had copper sales of 67 million pounds priced at an average of $3.74 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,652 per ounce during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,653 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,652 per ounce during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,652 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $13 ($9 per ounce) and gain of $17 ($4 per ounce), respectively. At September 30, 2012, Newmont had gold sales of 87,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,777 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

The following tables present the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

	Less than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater				Total
At September 30, 2012	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses
Marketable equity securities	$	7	$	2	$	—	$	—	$	7	$	2

Auction rate securities		—		—		5		2		5		2
	$	42	$	18	$	24	$	8	$	66	$	26

While the fair values of the Company’s investments in asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. 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 26    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company follows ASC guidance in accounting for loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable, is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Operating Segments

The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 26 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya and PTNNT matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,149 and $1,070, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $42 and $47 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities.

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, $189 and $170 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 110% greater or 7% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2012. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.

Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.

Newmont Mining Corporation

Conjecture Mine Site. On April 24, 2012, Federal Resources Corporation served Newmont with a third party complaint seeking contribution for reclamation costs at the Conjecture Mine site in Bonner County, Idaho. The United States Department of Justice on behalf of the EPA (“U.S.”) brought a CERCLA action against Federal Resources Corporation for costs incurred in response to alleged releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at the Conjecture Mine, Idaho Lakeview and Minnie More Mine sites. The U.S. has expended approximately $5 in total costs for the completion of reclamation at the Conjecture Mine. Federal Resources Corporation alleges that Newmont is the successor-in-interest to Duval Corporation (“Duval”), and that Duval is a former operator of the Conjecture Mine. Newmont denies that it is a successor-in-interest to the liabilities of Duval and further Newmont has not uncovered any evidence to substantiate that Duval operated the Conjecture Mine. Federal Resources Corporation, the only party with a claim against Newmont, has agreed to voluntarily dismiss Newmont and the parties filed a joint motion for dismissal of Newmont from the lawsuit.

Empire Mine. On July 19, 2012, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (“Parks”) served Newmont, New Verde Mines LLC, Newmont North America Exploration Limited, Newmont Realty Company and Newmont USA Limited with a complaint for damages and declaratory relief under CERCLA, specifically for costs associated with water treatment at the Empire Mine State Park and for a declaration that Newmont is liable for past and future response costs, as well as indemnification to Parks. In 1975, Parks purchased the Empire Mine site in Grass Valley, California from Newmont to create a historic state park featuring the mining of the Empire Mine. Parks has operated the Empire Mine Site for over 35 years. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter.

Newmont USA Limited—100% Newmont Owned

Ross-Adams Mine Site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (“PTNMR”)—80% Newmont Owned

On March 22, 2007, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (“WALHI”) filed a civil suit against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources and Ministry of Environment, alleging pollution from the government-approved and permitted disposal of mill 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 High Court. On January 27, 2010, the Indonesian High Court upheld the December 2007 ruling in favor of PTNMR. On May 17, 2010, WALHI filed an appeal of the January 27, 2010 Indonesian High Court ruling seeking review from 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. Ongoing monitoring of seawater quality by an Independent Scientific Panel continues to confirm that PTNMR’s operations have not adversely affected the environment. 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.

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 23 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. All appeals have been referred to the Civil Court of Cajamarca, which has confirmed the decision of the lower court judge. The plaintiffs have filed appeals of such orders before the Supreme Court. Yanacocha will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) – 31.5% Newmont Owned

Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares were required to be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, owned a 20% interest in PTNNT at all relevant times, in 2006, a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and, in each of 2007 through 2010, an additional 7% interest was required to be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interests were offered for sale to the Indonesian parties was the fair market value of such interest considering PTNNT as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Following certain disputes and an arbitration with the Indonesian government, in November and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were sold to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”), the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were sold to PTMDB in February 2010, resulting in PTMDB owning a 24% interest in PTNNT.

On December 17, 2010, the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, acting on behalf of the Indonesian government, accepted the offer to acquire the final 7% interest in PTNNT. Subsequently, the Indonesian government designated Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (“PIP”), an agency of the Ministry of Finance, as the entity that will buy the final stake. On May 6, 2011, PIP and the foreign shareholders entered into a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of the final 7% divestiture stake. Closing of the transaction is pending receipt of approvals from certain Indonesian government ministries. Subsequent to signing the agreement, a disagreement arose between the Ministry of Finance and the Indonesian parliament in regard to whether parliamentary approval was needed to allow PIP to make the share purchase. In July 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that parliament approval is required for PIP to use state funds to purchase the shares, which approval has not yet been obtained. Further disputes may arise in regard to the divestiture of the 2010 shares.

As part of the negotiation of the sale agreements with PTMDB, the parties executed an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) under which each recognizes the rights of the Company and Sumitomo to apply their operating standards to the management of PTNNT’s operations, including standards for safety, environmental stewardship and community responsibility. The Operating Agreement became effective upon the completion of the sale of the 2009 shares in February 2010 and will continue for so long as the Company and Sumitomo own more shares of PTNNT than PTMDB. If the Operating Agreement terminates, then the Company may lose control over the applicable operating standards for Batu Hijau and will be at risk for operations conducted in a manner that either detracts from value or results in safety, environmental or social standards below those adhered to by the Company and Sumitomo.

In the event of any future disputes under the Contract of Work or Operating Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail in any such dispute and any termination of such contracts could result in substantial diminution in the value of the Company’s interests in PTNNT.

Effective January 1, 2011, the local government in the region where the Batu Hijau mine is located commenced the enforcement of local regulations that purport to require PTNNT to pay additional taxes based on revenue and the value of PTNNT’s contracts. In addition, the regulations purport to require PTNNT to obtain certain export-related documents from the regional government for purposes of shipping copper concentrate. PTNNT is required to and has obtained all export related-documents in compliance with the laws and regulations of the central government. PTNNT believes that the new regional regulations are not enforceable as they expressly contradict higher level Indonesian laws that set out the permissible taxes that can be imposed by a regional government and all effective export requirements. PTNNT’s position is supported by Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, Ministry of Trade, and the provincial government. To date, PTNNT has not been forced to comply with these new contradictory regional regulations. On February 4, 2011, PTNNT filed legal proceedings seeking to have the regulations declared null and void because they conflict with the laws of Indonesia. Subsequently, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a decree declaring these local regulations to be contrary to Indonesian law and thus unenforceable. Further disputes with the local government could arise in relation to these regulations. PTNNT intends to vigorously defend its position in this dispute.

Additionally, in July 2011, WALHI brought an administrative law claim against Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment to challenge the May 2011 renewal of PTNNT’s submarine tailings permit. PTNNT and the regional government of KSB (“KSB”) filed separate applications for intervention into the proceedings, both of which were accepted by the Administrative Court. KSB intervened on the side of WALHI, and PTNNT joined on the side of the Ministry of Environment. On April 3, 2012, the Administrative Court ruled in favor of the Ministry of Environment and PTNNT, finding that the Ministry of Environment properly renewed the permit in accordance with Indonesian law and regulations. WALHI has appealed the verdict. On September 13, 2012, the High Administrative Law Court upheld the Administrative Court decision and rejected WALHI’s appeal, after which WALHI publicly announced their intent to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. PTNNT will continue to defend its submarine tailings permit and is confident that the Ministry of Environment acted properly in renewing PTNNT’s permit.

Newmont Mining Corporation claim relating to PTNNT divestiture

Indonesian citizens apparently living in the province of Nusa Tenggara Barat filed a lawsuit against Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance and other government officials (as defendants) and against PTNNT and the Company (as co-defendants). Plaintiffs claim that the purchase by the central government of the final 7% divestiture stake in PTNNT violates, or would violate, their human rights. PTNNT’s alleged liability appears supposedly to arise from being a party involved in the process of divestiture. The allegations regarding alleged liability are vague and unclear. Plaintiffs seek various relief, including an order requiring the defendants and co-defendants to transfer the final 7% stake to the regional government of Nusa Tenggara Barat and a payment of approximately $247 in damages. The Company considers that there is lack of jurisdiction, and that the claims, including those pertaining to it and PTNNT, are entirely without merit.

PT Pukuafu Indah Litigation

In October 2009, PTPI filed a lawsuit in the Central Jakarta District Court against PTNNT and the Indonesian government seeking to cancel a March 2009 arbitration award pertaining to the manner in which divestiture of shares in PTNNT should proceed. On October 11, 2010, the District Court ruled in favor of PTNNT and the Indonesian government finding, among other things, that PTPI lacks standing to contest the validity of the arbitration award. PTPI filed an appeal to the High Court, which was rejected by the High Court on January 4, 2012. PTPI appealed the case to the Indonesian Supreme Court. In September 2012, PTNNT and PTPI settled this lawsuit and PTPI revoked the appeal.

Subsequent to its initial claim, PTPI filed numerous additional lawsuits, three of which have been withdrawn, against Newmont Indonesia Limited (“NIL”) and Nusa Tenggara Mining Corporation (“NTMC”), a subsidiary of Sumitomo, in the South Jakarta District Court. Fundamentally, the cases all relate to PTPI’s contention that it owns, or has rights to own, the shares in PTNNT that have been or will be divested to fulfill the requirements of the PTNNT Contract of Work and the March 2009 arbitration award. PTPI also makes various other allegations, including alleged rights in or to the Company’s or NTMC’s non-divestiture shares in PTNNT, and PTPI asserts claims for significant damages allegedly arising from NIL’s and NTMC’s unlawful acts in transferring the divestiture shares to a third party. On November 30, 2010, the South Jakarta District Court rendered a decision in favor of PTPI in one of the cases that included an order that NIL/NTMC transfer 31% of PTNNT shares to PTPI and pay PTPI $26 in damages and certain monetary penalties. On August 7, 2012, the appellate court overturned the decision by the South Jakarta District Court. On June 28, 2011, the South Jakarta District Court ruled in favor of NIL and NTMC in one of PTPI’s lawsuits contending that PTPI has rights in or to NIL’s and NTMC’s non-divestiture shares. PTPI has filed an appeal. In March 2012, the District Court dismissed PTPI’s final two cases that were pending at the trial court level. PTPI has filed appeals in both of these lawsuits.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)

In January 2010, PTPI also filed a lawsuit against PTNNT’s President Director, Mr. Martiono Hadianto, alleging wrongful acts associated with the arbitration, including failure to properly share certain information. The South Jakarta District Court issued a decision partially in favor of PTPI against the PTNNT President Director, requiring the production of arbitration documents. The PTNNT President Director has appealed the decision. On September 6, 2012, PTNNT, its President Director, and PTPI entered into a settlement agreement and PTNNT revoked its appeal, and on September 17, 2012, the Court issued a deed of revocation, closing the case.

Newmont, Sumitomo and PTNNT’s management believe that all of PTPI’s claims in these matters are without merit and constitute a material breach of a written release agreement executed by PTPI in 2009, in which it and its shareholders committed to cease prosecution of all then-pending lawsuits and not to initiate new proceedings, in conjunction with Newmont’s provision of financing to PTPI in late 2009.

In August 2010, NIL and NVL USA Limited (“NVL”) commenced an arbitration against PTPI in the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, as provided in relevant financing agreements, seeking declarations that PTPI has violated the release agreement by failing to dismiss its Indonesian lawsuits, that PTPI is in breach of the November 2009 loan facility and related agreements, and that NIL and NVL are entitled to damages arising from PTPI’s and its shareholders’ conduct.

On October 1, 2010, NIL and NVL requested, based upon the release agreement, that the arbitral tribunal issue an interim order requiring PTPI and its shareholders to discontinue the various Indonesian court proceedings and refrain from bringing additional lawsuits. On October 15, 2010, the tribunal issued an order granting NIL and NVL’s request. The order of the tribunal restrains PTPI and its agents from “proceeding with or continuing with or assisting or participating in the prosecution of the Indonesian [s]uits” and from commencing additional proceedings relating to the same subject matter as the Indonesian lawsuits. NIL and NVL obtained an enforcement order in Singapore courts but PTPI and its shareholders have not abided by the court order. PTPI and its shareholders’ proceedings in Singapore court to contest enforcement of the interim award were rejected by the court.

On April 7, 2011, the arbitral tribunal issued a final award, while keeping the proceedings open to allow NIL and NVL to seek further relief as necessary, finding PTPI and its shareholders in breach of various provisions of the financing agreements, including the release agreement. The tribunal, for the second time, ordered PTPI and its agents to restrain from proceeding with the Indonesian lawsuits or filing new lawsuits relating to the same subject matter. In addition, the tribunal ordered PTPI and other shareholder defendants, collectively, to pay more than $11 in damages, costs and expenses. NIL and NVL obtained an enforcement order in Singapore courts and PTPI’s shareholders have partially complied with the order. PTPI and its shareholders have not fully complied with the court order as $10 in damages remains unpaid and the Indonesian lawsuits are continuing. NIL and NVL have also registered the final award in the Central Jakarta District Court to seek enforcement in Indonesia.

On October 22, 2012, the Company and PTPI entered into an agreement to resolve their differences under which PTPI committed to dismiss or discontinue all of its litigation within four months. If PTPI fulfills its commitment, the Company has agreed that it will dismiss or discontinue its legal proceedings against PTPI.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 42% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Fronteer was not aware of any obstacle to doing so, that Aurora faced no serious environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora’s competitors faced greater delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer’s acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.

On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on NMC. The complaint also names Fronteer Gold Inc and Mark O’Dea as defendants. The complaint seeks rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. Newmont intends to defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with ASC income tax guidance (see Note 9).

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 $28 in 2012 through 2016 and $223 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $1,885 and $1,354, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures” beginning on page 62. References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency and “$” to United States currency.

This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed February 24, 2012.

Overview

Newmont is one of the world’s largest gold producers and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and Fortune 500, and has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World for five consecutive years. We are also engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and gold/copper properties. We have significant operations and/or assets in the United States, Australia, Peru, Indonesia, Ghana, Mexico and New Zealand.

Our vision is to be the most valued and respected mining company through industry leading performance. We remain focused on progressing the development of our next generation of mining projects. Approximately 50% of our 2012 capital expenditures will be invested in these projects and the development of our pipeline, funded primarily from Net cash from continuing operations. Third quarter 2012 highlights compared to third quarter 2011 are included below and discussed further in Results of Consolidated Operations.

Operating highlights

• Average realized gold price of $1,659 and $1,649 per ounce for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, down 2% and up 8% respectively;

• Average realized copper price of $3.55 and $3.51 per pound for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, up 21% and down 2% respectively;

• Consolidated Sales of $2,480 and $7,392 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, down 10% and 3% respectively;

• Gold Costs applicable to sales of $693 and $664 per ounce, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, up 11% and 13% respectively;

Advancing our project pipeline

We manage our wider project portfolio to maintain flexibility to address the development risks associated with our projects including permitting, local community and government support, engineering and procurement availability, technical issues, escalating costs and other associated risks that could adversely impact the timing and costs of certain opportunities.

Our opportunities in the Execution phase of development comprise a significant part of the Company’s growth strategy and include Akyem in Ghana, Conga in Peru, and Phoenix Copper Leach and Emigrant in Nevada, as described further below.

Akyem, Ghana. Construction activities at the Akyem project continue to progress according to plan. First production is expected in late 2013 with a three to six month ramp-up expected to commercial production. Gold production is expected to be 350,000 to 450,000 ounces per year at Costs applicable to sales of $500 to $650 per ounce for the first five years of the mine’s operating life of approximately 16 years (based on current gold reserves). Capital costs are estimated at $850 to $1,100, of which $609 have been incurred since 2009.

Conga, Peru. Due to local political and community protests, construction and development activities at the Conga project were largely suspended in November 2011. The results of the Peruvian Central Government initiated Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) independent review were announced on April 20, 2012 and confirmed our initial EIA met Peruvian and International standards. The review made recommendations to provide additional water capacity and social funds, which we have largely accepted. We announced our decision to move the project forward on a “go slow, water first” approach on June 22, 2012. Spending on the project will be reduced in 2012 and 2013 from $2,900 to $850, focusing on building water reservoirs, completing the last engineering activities, and accepting delivery of the main equipment purchases. Total property, plant and mine development was $1,434 at September 30, 2012. Construction of Conga and the implementation of the independent EIA review recommendations will continue provided it can be done in a safe manner with risk-adjusted returns that justify future investment. Should the Company be unable to continue with the current development plan at Conga, the Company may reprioritize and reallocate capital to development alternatives in Nevada, Australia, Ghana and Indonesia which may result in a potential accounting impairment.

Phoenix Copper Leach, Nevada. The Board of Directors authorized full funding for the Phoenix Copper Leach project in April 2012. Copper production is expected to be approximately 20 million pounds per year for the first five years of production at Costs applicable to sales of $1.75 to $2.00 per pound. First production is expected in early 2014. Capital costs are expected to be $170 to $215, of which $67 have been incurred at September 30, 2012.

Emigrant, Nevada. Construction is complete and commercial production was achieved on August 30, 2012. Gold production is expected to be 80,000 to 90,000 ounces per year at Costs applicable to sales of $500 to $600 per ounce for the first five years. Total capital costs for the Emigrant project were $104.

Tanami Shaft, Australia. We have decided to defer further development work on the Tanami Shaft Project, as we focus on (i) improving the execution and delivery at the existing operation, and (ii) we better understand the impact of the nearer surface underground Auron discovery on the overall life-of-mine plan. We expect to reassess the restart date of the Tanami Shaft Project in 2015.

We continue to advance earlier stage development assets through our project pipeline in our four operating regions. The exploration, construction and operation of these earlier stage development assets may require significant funding if they go into execution. Two of these projects are described further below:

Merian, Suriname. Feasibility study work for the Merian project began in the third quarter of 2011 and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company continues to negotiate a mineral agreement with the government of Suriname. The development of the Merian project allows Newmont to pursue a new district with upside potential and the opportunity to grow and extend the operating life of the South American region. First production is targeted for 2015 with initial estimated gold production (on a 100% basis) of 350,000 to 400,000 ounces per year. Refer to Item 2 in our 2011 10-K filing for further information.

Long Canyon, Nevada. We see significant exploration potential at Long Canyon and continue to develop our understanding of what we expect could be another Carlin-type trend. We anticipate completing 80 kilometers of drilling in 2012. Our intention is to bring the project into production by 2017.

Consolidated Financial Results

Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the third quarter of 2012 was $367 ($0.74 per share) compared to $493 ($1.00 per share) for the third quarter of 2011. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first nine months of 2012 was $1,136 ($2.29 per share) compared to $1,394 ($2.82 per share) for the first nine months of 2011. Results for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 were impacted by lower production from Batu Hijau, Tanami, and Ahafo, lower gold prices, higher production costs, restructuring and other charges and a $33 Loss from discontinued operations, partially offset by higher copper prices and higher production from Nevada and Yanacocha. Results for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 were impacted by lower production from Batu Hijau, Tanami, Waihi, Kalgoorlie, Boddington and Ahafo, lower copper prices, higher production costs and restructuring and other charges, partially offset by higher gold prices and higher production from Nevada and Yanacocha.

Gold Sales decreased 8% in the third quarter of 2012 due to lower sales volume and realized prices. Gold Sales increased 3% in the first nine months of 2012 due to higher realized prices, partially offset by lower sales volume. The following analysis summarizes consolidated gold sales:

Costs applicable to sales for gold increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to higher mining, milling, labor and royalty costs and lower silver by-product credits, partially offset by lower workers’ participation costs at Yanacocha. Costs applicable to sales for copper increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to higher mining and milling costs at Boddington and higher waste mining at Batu Hijau, partially offset by a build-up of stockpiles at Batu Hijau. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Amortization in the third quarter of 2012 was similar to the same period of 2011. Amortization for gold decreased $17 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 due to a build-up of stockpiles at Batu Hijau and longer facility lives at Nevada due to an increase in reserves at December 31, 2011. We continue to expect Amortization to be $1,050 to $1,080 in 2012.

Exploration expense increased $11 and $54 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011 due to additional expenditures in South America, Asia Pacific and Africa, partially offset by lower expenditures at Hope Bay in North America. We now expect Exploration expense of $370 to $400 in 2012.

Advanced projects, research and development expense decreased $19 for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 due to placing Hope Bay on care and maintenance. Advanced projects, research and development expense increased $11 for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due to a primary focus on Merian in South America, Long Canyon in Nevada, Chaquicocha underground at Yanacocha, Elang in Indonesia and Ahafo mill expansion in Africa, partially offset by placing Hope Bay on care and maintenance. We now expect Advanced projects, research and development expenses of $410 to $440 in 2012

General and administrative expense increased by $1 and $17 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011 due to higher labor costs. We continue to expect General and administrative expenses of $200 to $220 in 2012.

Other expense, net increased by $95 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 mainly due to restructuring charges and Hope Bay care and maintenance costs. Other expense, net increased by $181 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 due to Hope Bay care and maintenance, restructuring charges and higher regional administration and community development expenses, partially offset by the Indonesian value added tax settlement in 2011 and Fronteer acquisition costs in 2011. At Hope Bay, we expect to spend an additional $25 in the fourth quarter of 2012 for care and maintenance, and approximately $25 per year thereafter.

Other income, net increased by $128 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 due to lower impairments of marketable securities, partially offset by lower foreign currency exchange gains. Other income, net increased by $118 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 due to lower impairments of marketable securities, higher income from developing projects, and a reduction of allowance for loan receivable, partially offset by lower gains on sale of investments and lower foreign currency exchange gains.

Interest expense, net increased by $2 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 due to the issuance of the 2022 and 2042 Senior Notes during the first quarter, partially offset by the repayment of the 2012 Convertible Senior Notes. Interest expense, net decreased $3 for the first nine months of 2012 compared to 2011 due to higher capitalized interest and the repayment of the 2012 Convertible Senior Notes, partially offset by the issuance of the 2022 and 2042 Senior Notes. Capitalized interest increased by $14 and $46 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011 due to higher development project expenditures. We continue to expect Interest expense, net of $240 to $260 in 2012.

Income and mining tax expense during the third quarter of 2012 was $228, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the third quarter of 2011 was $371 for an effective tax rate of 36%. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2012 is a result of the following: (i) composition of the income earned in 2012 is more heavily weighted to those jurisdictions for which the Company claims percentage depletion, (ii) lower pretax book income in the current year is resulting in a larger favorable tax rate impact from the benefit of percentage depletion, and (iii) a small decrease in the valuation allowance recorded during the current quarter on the Company’s Canadian deferred tax assets generated in 2012 due to care and maintenance expenditures at Hope Bay compared to the prior quarter valuation allowance resulting from the impairment of certain marketable equity securities.

During the first nine months of 2012, estimated income and mining tax expense was $746, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first nine months of 2011 was $863 for an effective tax rate of 31%. The slightly higher effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2012 is primarily due to the change in valuation allowances recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

The effective tax rates are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the above mentioned valuation allowance, the increase in Nevada and Peru mining taxes, and U.S. percentage depletion. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed February 24, 2012.

We expect the 2012 consolidated tax rate to be approximately 31% to 33%, assuming an average realized gold price of $1,650 per ounce in the fourth quarter.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $80 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $182 in the third quarter of 2011 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau and Yanacocha. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $285 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $475 in the first nine months of 2011 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau.

Loss from discontinued operations includes an additional charge for the Holt property royalty. During the current three and nine months of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $33 and $104 charge, net of tax benefits of $2 and $6, respectively, to reflect future expected production at the Holt property due to new reserve and resource estimates published by St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. and a higher gold price. Due to the nature of the sliding scale royalty calculation, changes in expected production and the gold price have a significant impact on the fair value of the liability.

Third quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Boddington, Australia. Gold and copper production increased 1% and 7%, respectively, due to higher mill grade. Gold Costs applicable to sales increased 25% per ounce due to higher mill maintenance costs. Copper Costs applicable to sales increased 2% per pound due to higher mill maintenance costs, partially offset by higher copper production. Costs applicable to sales per ounce and per pound were also impacted by a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains. Amortization increased 22% per ounce due to higher capitalized costs. Amortization decreased 13% per pound due to higher copper production.

Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Gold and copper production decreased 88% and 52%, respectively, due to processing lower grade stockpile ore. Waste tons mined increased 57% as Phase 6 waste removal continues as planned. Costs applicable to sales increased 134% per ounce and 164% per pound due to lower production and higher waste mining costs. Amortization increased 107% per ounce and 140% per pound due to lower production.

Other Australia/New Zealand. Gold production decreased 14% due to lower underground mining rates at Tanami, a delay in open pit mining at Waihi and lower grade at Jundee and Kalgoorlie, partially offset by higher throughput at Jundee and higher grade at Tanami. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 36% due to lower production, higher operating costs and a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains. Amortization per ounce increased 9% due to lower production.

56

First nine months 2012 compared to 2011

Boddington, Australia. Gold production decreased 4% due to lower mill grade and recovery, partially offset by higher mill throughput. Copper production increased 12% due to higher mill throughput, partially offset by lower recovery. Costs applicable to sales increased 35% per ounce due to lower gold production, higher milling costs and a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains. Costs applicable to sales increased 10% per pound due higher milling costs and a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains, partially offset by higher copper production. Amortization increased 35% per ounce due to lower gold production and lower ore mined. Amortization increased 6% per pound due to stockpile inventory changes, partially offset by higher production.

Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Gold and copper production decreased 80% and 44%, respectively, due to processing lower grade stockpile ore. Waste tons mined increased 32% as Phase 6 waste removal continues as planned. We expect to reach Phase 6 ore in the last half of 2013. Costs applicable to sales increased 133% per ounce and 117% per pound due to lower production and higher waste mining costs, partially offset by a build-up in stockpile inventory. Amortization increased 103% per ounce and 83% per pound due to lower production.

Other Australia/New Zealand. Gold production decreased 13% due to lower underground mining rates at Tanami, a delay in open pit mining at Waihi, lower throughput and grade at Kalgoorlie and lower grade at Jundee, partially offset by higher grade at Tanami and higher throughput at Jundee. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 36% due to lower production, higher mining costs and a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains. Amortization per ounce increased 20% due to lower production.

We continue to expect attributable gold production for Asia Pacific to be 1.7 to 1.8 million ounces at revised Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $870 to $900. We continue to expect our attributable copper production to be 145 to 165 million pounds at revised consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of $2.20 to $2.35 in 2012.

Third quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production decreased 10% due to lower ore grade, partially offset by higher throughput and a drawdown of in-process inventory. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 12% due to lower production and higher labor costs, partially offset by lower power and mill maintenance costs.

First nine months 2012 compared to 2011

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production decreased 8% due to lower mill throughput and grade. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 23% due to lower production and higher mining, milling and labor costs.

We continue to expect gold production in Africa to be 555,000 to 570,000 ounces at revised Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $560 and $590 in 2012.

57

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 47% and 45% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Approximately 45% and 43% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations did not have a significant impact on our Costs applicable to sales per ounce, net of hedging gains, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Provided from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from continuing operations was $1,542 in the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of $1,124 from the first nine months of 2011, primarily due to lower production at Batu Hijau and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in net operating assets and liabilities of $696 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011 is due to changes in stockpiles and accrued taxes and the collection of 2010 Batu Hijau copper and gold concentrate sale in early 2011 as discussed above in Consolidated Financial Results.

58

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $2,451 during the first nine months of 2012 compared to $4,028 during the same period of 2011, due largely to the acquisition of Fronteer in 2011 of $2,257. Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Capital expenditures in North America during the first nine months of 2012 were primarily related to the construction of the Phoenix Secondary Crusher, the development of the Emigrant mine and the Phoenix copper leach project, surface and underground mine development, the Noche Buena mine in Mexico and other equipment purchases, infrastructure improvements and a strategic land purchase in Nevada. Capital expenditures in South America were primarily related to the Conga and Merian projects and Yanacocha leach pad development, surface mine development and equipment purchases. The majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific were for surface and underground development, mining equipment and infrastructure improvements. Capital expenditures in Africa were primarily related to Akyem development and the Subika expansion and mill expansion projects at Ahafo. We continue to expect 2012 consolidated capital expenditures to be $3,300 to $3,600 ($2,700 to $3,000 attributable to Newmont).

Capital expenditures in North America during the first nine months of 2011 were primarily related to development at the Turf/Leeville, Midas, Exodus and Pete Bajo underground projects in Nevada, infrastructure at the Hope Bay project in Canada and sustaining mine development. Capital expenditures in South America were primarily related to Conga and leach pad and surface mine development at Yanacocha. The majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific were for surface and underground development, equipment, tailings facility construction and infrastructure improvements. Capital expenditures in Africa were primarily related to Akyem and the Subika expansion project at Ahafo.

Proceeds from sale of marketable securities. During the first nine months of 2012 we received $209 from the sale of corporate debt securities. During the first nine months of 2011, we received $74 from the sale of our investments in New Gold, Inc. and other marketable securities.

On April 6, 2011, Newmont acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”) for total consideration of $2,259 less cash received from the acquisition of $2 for a net payment of $2,257. In connection with the acquisition, Newmont incurred transaction costs of $22 during first nine months of 2011, which were recorded in Other Expense, net.

Proceeds from sale of other assets. During the first nine months of 2012, we received $13 from the sale of land and other assets. During the first nine months of 2011 we received $6 primarily from the sale of other assets.

Financing Activities

Proceeds from and repayment of debt. During the first nine months of 2012, we received net proceeds from debt of $3,343, including $1,246 under our Revolving Credit Facility, $1,479 from the issuance of Senior Notes due in 2022 and $983 from the issuance of Senior Notes due in 2042. Proceeds from the issuance of debt were partially offset by the settlement of forward starting interest rate swaps of $362, repayment of $1,285 under our Revolving Credit Facility, $517 for repayment of the 2012 Convertible Senior Notes and $150 related to exercising the early purchase option and related 2012 quarterly payments for the refractory ore treatment plant in Nevada (classified as a capital lease).

At September 30, 2012, $558 of the $3,000 revolving credit facility was used to secure the issuance of letters of credit, primarily supporting reclamation obligations (see “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below). During the first nine months of 2011, we borrowed $1,826 under our Revolving Credit Facility and paid debt issuance costs of $28. We repaid $2,086 of debt, including repayment of $1,826 under our Revolving Credit Facility and scheduled debt repayments of $223 for our 8 5/8 Senior Notes, $30 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant and $7 on other credit facilities and capital leases.

Scheduled minimum debt repayments are $20 for the remainder of 2012, $10 in 2013, $539 in 2014, $10 in 2015, $10 in 2016 and $5,535 thereafter. We expect to be able to fund debt maturities and capital expenditures from Net cash provided by operating activities, short-term investments, existing cash balances and available credit facilities.

At September 30, 2012 and 2011, we were in compliance with all required debt covenants and other restrictions related to debt agreements.

Payment of conversion premium on debt. In February 2012, we elected to pay in cash a conversion premium of $172 upon repayment of the 2012 Convertible Senior Notes in lieu of issuing common shares.

Additionally, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, declared regular quarterly dividends on its exchangeable shares totaling C$1.0532 per share through September 30, 2012 and C$0.6245 through September 30, 2011. We paid dividends of $521 and $321 to common stockholders in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests. We paid dividends of $3 and $17 to noncontrolling interests during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The payments in 2011 included $15 of Indonesian withholding taxes related to dividends paid to noncontrolling interests in December 2010.

Proceeds from stock issuance. We received proceeds of $20 and $35 during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, from the issuance of common stock, primarily related to employee stock sales and option exercises.

Discontinued Operations

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations was $12 and $4 in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to payments on the Holt property royalty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements: operating leases (as discussed in Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed on February 24, 2012) and $1,885 of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees (see Note 26 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

We also have sales agreements to sell copper and gold concentrates at market prices as follows (in thousands of tons):

Other Liquidity Matters

At September 30, 2012, the Company had $1,549 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $1,263 was held in foreign subsidiaries and is primarily held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to U.S. dollars. At September 30, 2012, $460 of the consolidated cash and cash equivalents was attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily related to our Indonesian and Peruvian operations which is being held to fund those operations and development projects. At September 30, 2012, $280 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($186 attributable to Newmont) was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated may be subject to withholding taxes, which would generate foreign tax credits in the U.S. As a result, we expect that there would be minimal U.S. tax liability upon repatriation of these amounts after considering available foreign tax credits. All other amounts represent earnings that are taxed in the U.S. on a current basis due to being held in U.S. subsidiaries or non-U.S. subsidiaries that are flow-through entities for U.S. tax purposes.

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources from U.S. operations and flow-through foreign subsidiaries are adequate to fund our U.S. operations and corporate activities.

Environmental

Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. 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. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,149 and $1,070, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties.

In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $189 and $170 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We spent $32 and $6 during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities and have classified $20 as a current liability at September 30, 2012.

During the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, capital expenditures were approximately $132 and $110, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 4 and 26 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net income

Management of the Company uses Adjusted net income to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income allows investors and analysts to compare results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals to similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional or unusual items. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income as follows:

Adjusted net income per share, diluted	$	0.85	$	1.26	$	2.60	$	3.17

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound

Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by dividing the costs applicable to sales of gold and copper by gold ounces or copper pounds sold, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on both a consolidated and attributable to Newmont basis. Attributable costs applicable to sales are based on our economic interest in production from our mines. For operations where we hold less than a 100% economic share in the production, we exclude the share of gold or copper production attributable to the noncontrolling interest. We include attributable costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound to provide management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers. Costs applicable to sales per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently.

Net attributable costs applicable to sales per ounce measures the benefit of copper produced in conjunction with gold, as a credit against the cost of producing gold. A number of other gold producers present their costs net of the contribution from copper and other non-gold sales. We believe that including a measure on this basis provides management, investors and analysts with information with which to compare our performance to other gold producers, and to better assess the overall performance of our business. In addition, this measure provides information to enable investors and analysts to understand the importance of non-gold revenues to our cost structure.

Operating margin per ounce/pound

Operating margin per ounce/pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are calculated by subtracting the costs applicable to sales per ounce of gold and per pound of copper from the average realized gold price per ounce and copper price per pound, respectively. These measures are calculated on a consistent basis for the periods presented on a consolidated basis. Operating margin per ounce/pound statistics are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these measures differently. Operating margin per ounce/pound is calculated as follows:

Certain statements contained in this report (including information incorporated by reference) are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. Our forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (a) statements regarding future earnings, and the sensitivity of earnings to gold and other metal prices; (b) estimates of future mineral production and sales for specific operations and on a consolidated basis; (c) estimates of future production costs and other expenses, for specific operations and on a consolidated basis; (d) estimates of future cash flows and the sensitivity of cash flows to gold and other metal prices; (e) estimates of future capital expenditures and other cash needs for specific operations and on a consolidated basis and expectations as to the funding thereof; (f) statements as to the projected development of certain ore deposits, including estimates of development and other capital costs, financing plans for these deposits, and expected production commencement dates; (g) estimates of future costs and other liabilities for certain environmental matters; (h) estimates of reserves, and statements regarding future exploration results and reserve replacement; (i) statements regarding modifications to Newmont’s hedge positions; (j) statements regarding future transactions relating to portfolio management or rationalization efforts; and (k) projected synergies and costs associated with acquisitions and related matters.

Where we express an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected, or implied by those forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements (“cautionary statements”) are disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the Newmont Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond Newmont’s ability to control or predict. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Newmont or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Newmont disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

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.

Hedging

Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We have and will continue to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.

By using derivatives, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this potential risk to our financial condition by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or make any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breaches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We further mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.

65

Cash Flow Hedges

We utilize foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. We hedge a portion of our A$ and NZ$ denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to five years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ and $/NZ$ rates, respectively. We also utilize foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of the Company’s A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the construction of the Akyem project in Africa and the Tanami mine shaft in Australia. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to three years. We use diesel contracts to reduce the variability of our operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at our Nevada operations. All of the currency, diesel and forward starting swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future expenditures, and as such, changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2012:

	Expected Maturity Date
	2012			2013			2014			2015			2016			2017			Total Average
A$ Operating Fixed Forward Contracts:
A$ notional (millions)		332			1,130			833			534			298			62			3,189

Expected hedge ratio		84	%		73	%		53	%		35	%		19	%		5	%
A$ Capital Fixed Forward Contracts:

Average rate ($/A$)		0.99			0.98			0.96			—			—			—			0.97
Expected hedge ratio		49	%		87	%		91	%		—			—			—

Expected hedge ratio		67	%		41	%		18	%		—			—			—

The fair value of the A$ foreign currency operating derivative contracts was a net asset position of $249 and $223 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the NZ$ foreign currency derivative contracts was a net asset position of $3 and $1 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the A$ capital foreign currency contracts was a net asset position and net liability position of $4 and $1 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

66

Diesel Price Risk

We had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2012:

	Expected Maturity Date
	2012			2013			2014			2015			Total Average
Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts:
Diesel gallons (millions)		8			24			11			2			45
Average rate ($/gallon)		2.94			2.93			2.89			2.85			2.92
Expected hedge ratio		69	%		54	%		27	%		8	%

The fair value of the diesel derivative contracts was a net asset position of $5 and $1 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Forward Starting Swaps

During 2011, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2,000. These contracts hedged movements in treasury rates related to a debt issuance that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. On March 8, 2012, we closed the sale of $2,500 senior notes consisting of 3.5% senior notes due 2022 in the principal amount of $1,500 (10-year notes), and 4.875% senior notes due 2042 in the principal amount of $1,000 (30-year notes). As a result, the forward-starting interest rate swaps were settled for $362, of which $349 represented the effective portion of the hedging instrument included in Accumulated other comprehensive income. The net proceeds from the debt issuance were adjusted by the settlement amount of the swap contracts and included as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest Rate Risk

We had $222 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against debt which matured in May 2011.

Commodity Price Risk

Our provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $3.50 per pound during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.53 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.61 per pound during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.60 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $18 ($0.30 per pound) and gain of $31 ($0.19 per pound), respectively. At September 30, 2012, Newmont had copper sales of 67 million pounds priced at an average of $3.74 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $0.10 change in the price for provisionally priced sales would have an approximate $3 effect on our Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders. The LME closing settlement price at September 30, 2012 for copper was $3.75 per pound.

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,652 per ounce during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,653 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,652 per ounce during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,652 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $13 ($9 per ounce) and gain of $17 ($4 per ounce), respectively. At September 30, 2012, Newmont had gold sales of 87,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,777 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months. Each $25 change in the price for provisionally priced gold sales would have an approximately $1 effect on our Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders. The London P.M. closing settlement price at September 30, 2012 for gold was $1,766 per ounce.

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.

Changes in Internal Controls

The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that its books and records accurately reflect transactions and that established policies and procedures are followed. The Company is implementing an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system on a staged basis at its most significant subsidiaries around the world, excluding Indonesia. The Company began the implementation of the ERP system in North America during the second quarter of 2012 and continued with the implementation in South America during the third quarter of 2012, which resulted in a change to its system of internal control over financial reporting. The Company is implementing the global ERP system to improve standardization and automation, and not in response to a deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting. The Company believes that the implementation of the ERP system and related changes to internal controls will enhance its internal controls over financial reporting while providing the ability to scale its business in the future. See Item 1A in the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K for risk factors related to the implementation and integration of information technology systems. The Company has taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting during this period of change and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related key controls during subsequent periods.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

At Newmont, safety is a core value and we strive for superior performance. Our health and safety management system, which includes detailed standards and procedures for safe production, addresses topics such as employee training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation and program auditing. In addition to strong leadership and involvement from all levels of the organization, these programs and procedures form the cornerstone of safety at Newmont, ensuring that employees are provided a safe and healthy environment and are intended to reduce workplace accidents, incidents and losses, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.

In addition, we have established our “Rapid Response” process to mitigate and prevent the escalation of adverse consequences if existing risk management controls fail, particularly if an incident may have the potential to seriously impact the safety of employees, the community or the environment. This process provides appropriate support to an affected site to complement their technical response to an incident, so as to reduce the impact by considering the environmental, strategic, legal, financial and public image aspects of the incident, to ensure communications are being carried out in accordance with legal and ethical requirements and to identify actions in addition to those addressing the immediate hazards.

The operation of our U.S. based mines is subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Following passage of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, MSHA significantly increased the numbers of citations and orders charged against mining operations. The dollar penalties assessed for citations issued has also increased in recent years.

Newmont is required to report certain mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, and that required information is included in Exhibit 95 and is incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety Disclosure

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, which requires certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). The disclosures reflect our U.S. mining operations only as the requirements of the Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K do not apply to our mines operated outside the United States.

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the U.S. mining operator (e.g. our subsidiary, Newmont USA Limited) must abate the alleged violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until the alleged hazards are corrected. When MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the alleged violation, that the operator is ordered to pay. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the mine as well as by the MSHA inspector(s) assigned.

The below table reflects citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The proposed assessments for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were taken from the MSHA data retrieval system as of October 8, 2012.

Additional information about the Act and MSHA references used in the table follows.

• Section 104(a) S&S Citations: Citations received from MSHA under section 104(a) of the Mine Act for violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard.

• Section 104(b) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA.

(1) The table above reflects citations and orders issued to us by MSHA for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

(2) The definition of a mine under section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools, and minerals preparation facilities. Unless otherwise indicated, any of these other items associated with a single mine have been aggregated in the totals for that mine. MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities such as preparation facilities. We are providing the information in the table by mine rather than MSHA identification number because that is how we manage and operate our mining business and we believe this presentation will be more useful to investors than providing information based on MSHA identification numbers.

(3) 33 Section 104(a) S&S Citations and—Section 104(d) S&S Citations and Orders were subject to contest as of September 30, 2012.

(4) Represents the total dollar value of the proposed assessment from MSHA under the Mine Act pursuant to the citations and or orders preceding such dollar value in the corresponding row. No proposed assessments of the orders or citations listed above had yet been posted to the MSHA data retrieval system or made available to the Company by MSHA as of October 8, 2012.

(5) Per MSHA review the Mill 6 mine has been combined with South Area Mine ID and the Sage Mill mine has been combined with Twin Creeks mine ID.

Pattern or Potential Pattern of Violations. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, none of the mines operated by us received written notice from MSHA of (a) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of mine health or safety hazards under section 104(e) of the Mine Act or (b) the potential to have such a pattern.

Pending Legal Actions. The following table reflects pending legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”), an independent adjudicative agency that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act, as of September 30, 2012, together with the number of legal actions instituted and the number of legal actions resolved during 2012.

(2) The foregoing list includes legal actions which were initiated prior to the current reporting period and which do not necessarily relate to citations, orders or proposed assessments issued by MSHA during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The number of legal actions noted above are reported on a per docket basis.

Legal actions pending before the Commission may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA or complaints of discrimination by miners under section 105 of the Mine Act. The following is a brief description of the types of legal actions that may be brought before the Commission.

• Contests of Citations and Orders: A contest proceeding may be filed with the Commission by operators, miners or miners’ representatives to challenge the issuance of a citation or order issued by MSHA.

• Contests of Proposed Penalties (Petitions for Assessment of Penalties): A contest of a proposed penalty is an administrative proceeding before the Commission challenging a civil penalty that MSHA has proposed for the alleged violation contained in a citation or order. The validity of the citation may also be challenged in this proceeding as well.

• Complaints for Compensation: A complaint for compensation may be filed with the Commission by miners entitled to compensation when a mine is closed by certain withdrawal orders issued by MSHA. The purpose of the proceeding is to determine the amount of compensation, if any, due miners idled by the orders.

• Complaints of Discharge, Discrimination or Interference: A discrimination proceeding is a case that involves a miner’s allegation that he or she has suffered a wrong by the operator because he or she engaged in some type of activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint.

• Applications for Temporary Relief: An application for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order or from any order issued under section 104 of the Mine Act.

• Appeals of Judges’ Decisions or Orders to the Commission: A filing with the Commission of a petition for discretionary review of a Judge’s decision or order by a person who has been adversely affected or aggrieved by such decision or order.

The following table reflects the types of legal actions pending before the Commission as of September 30, 2012.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill Impairment

In September 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to goodwill impairment. Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The update does not change how the Company performs the two-step impairment test under previous guidance. The Company's January 1, 2012 adoption of the guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting

In May 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures around fair value accounting. The updated guidance clarifies different components of fair value accounting including the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company's January 1, 2012 adoption of the updated guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting (Textuals) [Abstract]
Available-for-sale Securities, Fair Value Disclosure, Significant Assumptions	The Company estimated the fair value of the auction rate securities based on weighted average risk calculations using cash flow assumptions discounted approximately 42%, which reflects an estimated discount for lack of marketability. The Company estimated the fair value of its asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return ranging from 13%-74% for each class of notes, which is reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities.
Fair Value, Commitments, Valuation Techniques	The estimated value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales. This contingent royalty is capped at $100, and at June 30,2012, the Company increased the accrual to the maximum of $100 using the following long-term price assumptions: 1) $1,500 per ounce gold price, 2) $3.50 per pound copper price, 3) $90 per barrel of oil, and 4) a $1.00 A$/US$ exchange rate. The Company used an approximate 4% discount rate in the model. The contingent royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Holt sliding scale royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices utilizing a long-term gold price assumption of $1,500 per ounce, various gold production scenarios based on publicly available reserve and resource information for the Holt property and an approximate 3% weighted average discount rate. The sliding scale royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 26    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

The Company follows ASC guidance in accounting for loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the contingency and estimated range of loss, if determinable,is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

Operating Segments

The Company's operating segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company's commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 26relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya and PTNNT matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The Yanacochamatters relate to the South America 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,149 and $1,070, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently or recently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $42 and $47 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities.

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, $189 and $170 were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 110% greater or 7% lower than the amount accrued at September 30, 2012. The amounts accrued are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.

Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.

Newmont Mining Corporation

Conjecture Mine Site. On April 24, 2012, Federal Resources Corporation served Newmont with a third party complaint seeking contribution for reclamation costs at the Conjecture Mine site in Bonner County, Idaho. The United States Department of Justice on behalf of the EPA (“U.S.”)brought a CERCLA action against Federal Resources Corporation for costs incurred in response to alleged releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances at the Conjecture Mine, Idaho Lakeview and Minnie More Mine sites. The U.S. has expended approximately $5in total costs for the completion of reclamation at the Conjecture Mine. Federal Resources Corporation alleges that Newmont is the successor-in-interest to Duval Corporation (“Duval”), and that Duval is a former operator of the Conjecture Mine. Newmont denies that it is a successor-in-interest to the liabilities of Duval and further Newmonthas not uncovered any evidence to substantiate that Duval operated the Conjecture Mine. Federal Resources Corporation, the only party with a claim against Newmont, has agreed to voluntarily dismiss Newmont and the parties filed a joint motion for dismissal of Newmont from the lawsuit.

Empire Mine. On July 19, 2012, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (“Parks”) served Newmont, New Verde Mines LLC, Newmont North America Exploration Limited, Newmont Realty Company and Newmont USA Limited with a complaint for damages and declaratory relief under CERCLA, specifically for costs associated with water treatment at the Empire Mine State Park and for a declaration that Newmont is liable for past and future response costs, as well as indemnification to Parks. In 1975, Parks purchased the Empire Mine site in Grass Valley, California from Newmont to create a historic state park featuring the mining of the Empire Mine. Parks has operated the Empire Mine Site for over 35 years. Newmont intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter.

Newmont USA Limited - 100% Newmont Owned

Ross-Adams Mine Site.    By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (“PTNMR”) - 80% Newmont Owned

On March 22, 2007, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (“WALHI”) filed a civil suit against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, and Indonesia's Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources and Ministry of Environment, alleging pollution from the government-approved and permitted disposal of mill 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 BuyatBay were without merit. In March 2008, WALHI appealed this decision to the Indonesian High Court. On January 27, 2010, the Indonesian High Court upheld the December 2007 ruling in favor of PTNMR. On May 17, 2010, WALHI filed an appeal of the January 27, 2010 Indonesian High Court ruling seeking review from 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. Ongoing monitoring of seawater quality by an Independent Scientific Panel continues to confirm that PTNMR's operations have not adversely affected the environment. 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.

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which the Company expects to result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. In 2011, Yanacocha was served with 23 complaints alleging grounds to nullify the settlements entered between Yanacocha and the plaintiffs. Yanacocha has answered the complaints and the court has dismissed several of the matters and the plaintiffs have filed appeals. All appeals have been referred to the Civil Court of Cajamarca, which has confirmed the decision of the lower court judge. The plaintiffs have filed appeals of such orders before the Supreme Court. Yanacocha will continue to vigorously defend its position. Neither the Company nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) – 31.5% Newmont Owned

Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT's shares were required to be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, owned a 20% interest in PTNNT at all relevant times, in 2006, a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and, in each of 2007 through 2010, an additional 7% interest was required to be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interests were offered for sale to the Indonesian parties was the fair market value of such interest considering PTNNT as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government. Following certain disputes and an arbitration with the Indonesian government, inNovember and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were sold to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”), the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were sold to PTMDB in February 2010, resulting in PTMDB owning a 24% interest in PTNNT.

On December 17, 2010, the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, acting on behalf of the Indonesian government, accepted the offer to acquire the final 7% interest in PTNNT. Subsequently, the Indonesian government designated Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (“PIP”), an agency of the Ministry of Finance, as the entity that will buy the final stake. On May 6, 2011, PIP and the foreign shareholders entered into a definitive agreement for the sale and purchase of the final 7% divestiture stake. Closing of the transaction is pending receipt of approvals from certain Indonesian government ministries. Subsequent to signing the agreement, a disagreement arose between the Ministry of Finance and the Indonesian parliament in regard to whether parliamentary approval was needed to allow PIP to make the share purchase. In July 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that parliament approval is required for PIP to use state funds to purchase the shares, which approval has not yet been obtained. Further disputes may arise in regard to the divestiture of the 2010 shares.

As part of the negotiation of the sale agreements with PTMDB, the parties executed an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) under which each recognizes the rights of the Company and Sumitomo to apply their operating standards to the management of PTNNT's operations, including standards for safety, environmental stewardship and community responsibility. The Operating Agreement became effective upon the completion of the sale of the 2009 shares in February 2010 and will continue for so long as the Company and Sumitomo own more shares of PTNNT than PTMDB. If the Operating Agreement terminates, then the Company may lose control over the applicable operating standards for Batu Hijau and will be at risk for operations conducted in a manner that either detracts from value or results in safety, environmental or social standards below those adhered to by the Company and Sumitomo.

In the event of any future disputes under the Contract of Work or Operating Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail in any such dispute and any termination of such contracts could result in substantial diminution in the value of the Company's interests in PTNNT.

Effective January 1, 2011, the local government in the region where the Batu Hijau mine is located commenced the enforcement of local regulations that purport to require PTNNT to pay additional taxes based on revenue and the value of PTNNT's contracts. In addition, the regulations purport to require PTNNT to obtain certain export-related documents from the regional government for purposes of shipping copper concentrate. PTNNT is required to and has obtained all export related-documents in compliance with the laws and regulations of the central government. PTNNT believes that the new regional regulations are not enforceable as they expressly contradict higher level Indonesian laws that set out the permissible taxes that can be imposed by a regional government and all effective export requirements. PTNNT's position is supported by Indonesia's Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, Ministry of Trade, and the provincial government. To date, PTNNT has not been forced to comply with these new contradictory regional regulations. On February 4, 2011, PTNNT filed legal proceedings seeking to have the regulations declared null and void because they conflict with the laws of Indonesia. Subsequently, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a decree declaring these local regulations to be contrary to Indonesian law and thus unenforceable. Further disputes with the local government could arise in relation to these regulations. PTNNT intends to vigorously defend its position in this dispute.

Additionally, in July 2011, WALHI brought an administrative law claim against Indonesia's Ministry of Environment to challenge the May 2011 renewal of PTNNT's submarine tailings permit. PTNNT and the regional government of KSB (“KSB”) filed separate applications for intervention into the proceedings, both of which were accepted by the Administrative Court. KSB intervened on the side of WALHI, and PTNNT joined on the side of the Ministry of Environment. On April 3, 2012, the Administrative Court ruled in favor of the Ministry of Environment and PTNNT, finding that the Ministry of Environment properly renewed the permit in accordance with Indonesian law and regulations. WALHI has appealed the verdict. On September 13, 2012, the High Administrative Law Court upheld the Administrative Court decision and rejected WALHI's appeal, after which WALHI publicly announced their intent to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. PTNNT will continue to defend its submarine tailings permit and is confident that the Ministry of Environment acted properly in renewing PTNNT's permit.

Newmont Mining Corporation claim relating to PTNNT divestiture

Indonesian citizens apparently living in the province of Nusa Tenggara Barat filed a lawsuit against Indonesia's Ministry of Finance and other government officials (as defendants) and against PTNNT and the Company (as co-defendants). Plaintiffs claim that the purchase by the central government of the final 7% divestiture stake in PTNNT violates, or would violate, their human rights. PTNNT's alleged liability appears supposedly to arise from being a party involved in the process of divestiture. The allegations regarding alleged liability are vague and unclear. Plaintiffs seek various relief, including an order requiring the defendants and co-defendants to transfer the final 7% stake to the regional government of Nusa Tenggara Barat and a payment of approximately $247 in damages. The Company considers that there is lack of jurisdiction, and that the claims, including those pertaining to it and PTNNT, are entirely without merit.

PT Pukuafu Indah Litigation

In October 2009, PTPI filed a lawsuit in the Central Jakarta District Court against PTNNT and the Indonesian government seeking to cancel a March 2009 arbitration award pertaining to the manner in which divestiture of shares in PTNNT should proceed. On October 11, 2010, the District Court ruled in favor of PTNNT and the Indonesian government finding, among other things, that PTPI lacks standing to contest the validity of the arbitration award. PTPI filed an appeal to the High Court, which was rejected by the High Court on January 4, 2012. PTPI appealed the case to the Indonesian Supreme Court. In September 2012, PTNNT and PTPI settled this lawsuit and PTPI revoked the appeal.

Subsequent to its initial claim, PTPI filed numerous additional lawsuits, three of which have been withdrawn, against Newmont Indonesia Limited (“NIL”) and Nusa Tenggara Mining Corporation (“NTMC”), a subsidiary of Sumitomo, in the South Jakarta District Court. Fundamentally, the cases all relate to PTPI's contention that it owns, or has rights to own, the shares in PTNNT that have been or will be divested to fulfill the requirements of the PTNNT Contract of Work and the March 2009 arbitration award. PTPI also makes various other allegations, including alleged rights in or to the Company's or NTMC's non-divestiture shares in PTNNT, and PTPI asserts claims for significant damages allegedly arising from NIL's and NTMC's unlawful acts in transferring the divestiture shares to a third party. On November 30, 2010, the South Jakarta District Court rendered a decision in favor of PTPI in one of the cases that included an order that NIL/NTMC transfer 31% of PTNNT shares to PTPI and pay PTPI $26 in damages and certain monetary penalties. On August 7, 2012, the appellate court overturned the decision by the South Jakarta District Court. On June 28, 2011, the South Jakarta District Court ruled in favor of NIL and NTMC in one of PTPI's lawsuits contending that PTPI has rights in or to NIL's and NTMC's non-divestiture shares. PTPI has filed an appeal. In March 2012, the District Court dismissed PTPI's final two cases that were pending at the trial court level. PTPI has filedappeals in both of these lawsuits.

In January 2010, PTPI also filed a lawsuit against PTNNT's President Director, Mr. Martiono Hadianto, alleging wrongful acts associated with the arbitration, including failure to properly share certain information. The South Jakarta District Court issued a decision partially in favor of PTPI against the PTNNT President Director, requiring the production of arbitration documents. The PTNNT President Director has appealed the decision. On September 6, 2012, PTNNT, its President Director, and PTPI entered into a settlement agreement and PTNNT revoked its appeal, and on September 17, 2012, the Court issued a deed of revocation, closing the case.

Newmont, Sumitomo and PTNNT's management believe that all of PTPI's claims in these matters are without merit and constitute a material breach of a written release agreement executed by PTPI in 2009, in which it and its shareholders committed to cease prosecution of all then-pending lawsuits and not to initiate new proceedings, in conjunction with Newmont's provision of financing to PTPI in late 2009.

In August 2010, NIL and NVL USA Limited (“NVL”) commenced an arbitration against PTPI in the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, as provided in relevant financing agreements, seeking declarations that PTPI has violated the release agreement by failing to dismiss its Indonesian lawsuits, that PTPI is in breach of the November 2009 loan facility and related agreements, and that NIL and NVL are entitled to damages arising from PTPI's and its shareholders' conduct.

On October 1, 2010, NIL and NVL requested, based upon the release agreement, that the arbitral tribunal issue an interim order requiring PTPI and its shareholders to discontinue the various Indonesian court proceedings and refrain from bringing additional lawsuits. On October 15, 2010, the tribunal issued an order granting NIL and NVL's request. The order of the tribunal restrains PTPI and its agents from “proceeding with or continuing with or assisting or participating in the prosecution of the Indonesian [s]uits” and from commencing additional proceedings relating to the same subject matter as the Indonesian lawsuits. NIL and NVL obtained an enforcement order in Singapore courts but PTPI and its shareholders have not abided by the court order. PTPI and its shareholders' proceedings in Singapore court to contest enforcement of the interim award were rejected by the court.

On April 7, 2011, the arbitral tribunal issued a final award, while keeping the proceedings open to allow NIL and NVL to seek further relief as necessary, finding PTPI and its shareholders in breach of various provisions of the financing agreements, including the release agreement. The tribunal, for the second time, ordered PTPI and its agents to restrain from proceeding with the Indonesian lawsuits or filing new lawsuits relating to the same subject matter. In addition, the tribunal ordered PTPI and other shareholder defendants, collectively, to pay more than $11 in damages, costs and expenses. NIL and NVL obtained an enforcement order in Singapore courts and PTPI's shareholders have partially complied with the order. PTPI and its shareholders have not fully complied with the court order as $10 in damages remains unpaid and the Indonesian lawsuits are continuing. NIL and NVL have also registered the final award in the Central Jakarta District Court to seek enforcement in Indonesia.

On October 22, 2012, the Company and PTPI entered into an agreement to resolve their differences under which PTPI committed to dismiss or discontinue all of its litigation within four months.  If PTPI fulfills its commitment, the Company has agreed that it will dismiss or discontinue its legal proceedings against PTPI.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”) owned approximately 86% of NewWest Gold and an individual named Jacob Safra owned or controlled 100% of NWG. Prior to its acquisition of NewWest Gold, Fronteer entered into a June 2007 lock-up agreement with NWG providing that, among other things, NWG would support Fronteer's acquisition of NewWest Gold. At that time, Fronteer owned approximately 42% of Aurora Energy Resources Inc. (“Aurora”), which, among other things, had a uranium exploration project in Labrador, Canada.

NWG contends that, during the negotiations leading up to the lock-up agreement, Fronteer represented to NWG that Aurora would commence uranium mining in Labrador by 2013, that this was a firm date, that Fronteer was not aware of any obstacle to doing so, that Aurora faced no serious environmental issues in Labrador and that Aurora's competitors faced greater delays in commencing uranium mining. NWG further contends that it entered into the lock-up agreement and agreed to support Fronteer's acquisition of NewWest Gold in reliance upon these purported representations. On October 11, 2007, less than three weeks after the Fronteer-NewWest Gold transaction closed, a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly introduced a motion calling for the adoption of a moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. On April 8, 2008, the Nunatsiavut Assembly adopted a three-year moratorium on uranium mining in Labrador. NWG contends that Fronteer was aware during the negotiations of the NWG/Fronteer lock-up agreement that the Nunatsiavut Assembly planned on adopting this moratorium and that its adoption would preclude Aurora from commencing uranium mining by 2013, but Fronteer nonetheless fraudulently induced NWG to enter into the lock-up agreement.

On September 24, 2012, NWG served a summons and complaint on NMC. The complaint also names Fronteer Gold Inc and Mark O'Dea as defendants. The complaint seeks rescission of the merger between Fronteer and NewWest Gold and $750 in damages. Newmont intends to defend this matter, but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with ASC income tax guidance (see Note 9).

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 $28in 2012through2016and$223 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, 2012and December 31, 2011, there were $1,885 and $1,354, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. However, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements through existing or alternative means, as they arise.

Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Included in Investments at September 30, 2012and December 31, 2011are $9 and $11 of long-term marketable debt securities, respectively, and $8 and $4 of long-term marketable equity securities, respectively, that are legally pledged for purposes of settling asset retirement obligations related to the San Jose Reservoir at Yanacocha.

During the three and ninemonths endedSeptember 30,2012, the Company recognized impairments for other-than-temporary declines in value of $7and $39for marketable equity securities. During the third quarterof 2011, the Companyrecognized impairments for other-than-temporary declines in value of $148related to its holdings of Paladin Energy Ltd. and $26for other marketable equity securities.

The following tables present the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company's investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

		Less than 12 Months				12 Months or Greater				Total
At September 30, 2012		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses
Marketable equity securities	$	7	$	2	$	-	$	-	$	7	$	2

	$	42	$	18	$	24	$	8	$	66	$	26

While the fair values of the Company's investments in asset backed commercial paper and auction rate securities are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill Impairment

In September 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to goodwill impairment. Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The update does not change how the Company performs the two-step impairment test under previous guidance. The Company's January 1, 2012 adoption of the guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Accounting

In May 2011, ASC guidance was issued related to disclosures around fair value accounting. The updated guidance clarifies different components of fair value accounting including the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company's January 1, 2012 adoption of the updated guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

NOTE 12    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 except that weighted average common shares is increased to reflect alldilutive instruments.

Options to purchase 2 and 3 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $57 and $57 were outstanding at September 30,2012 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Under itsconvertible note indentures, Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of its 2014 and 2017 Convertible Senior Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion premium (average share price in excess of the conversion price), if any, in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method in accordance with ASC guidance. The average price of the Company's common stock exceeded the conversion pricesfor all periods presented,resulting in additional shares included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares.

In February 2012, the holders of the Company's 2012 Convertible Senior Notes exercised their election to convert the notes. The Company elected to pay the $172conversion premium with cash, and as a result no common shares were issued.

NOTE 10    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations include Holloway Mining Company, which owned the Holt-McDermott property (“Holt property”) and was sold to St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) in 2006. In 2009, the Superior Court issued a decision finding Newmont Canada Corporation (“Newmont Canada”) liable for a sliding scale royalty on production from the Holt property, which was upheld in 2011 by the Ontario Court of Appeal. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $33 charge, net of tax benefits of $2, to reflecthigher gold prices offset by a decrease in future expected production at the Holt property due to new resource estimates. The total charges for thefirst nine months of 2012 are $104, net of tax benefits of $6.

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $12and $4 in the first nine months of 2012and 2011, respectively,relate to payments on the Holt property royalty.

INCOME AND MINING TAXES

NOTE 9    INCOME AND MINING TAXES

During the third quarterof 2012, the Company recorded estimated income and mining tax expense of $228,resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the third quarterof 2011 was $371for an effective tax rate of 36%.The lower effective tax rate in thethird quarterof 2012 is a result of the following: (i) composition of income earned in 2012 is more heavily weighted to those jurisdictions for which the Company claims percentage depletion, (2) lower pretax book income in the current year is resulting in a larger favorable tax rate impact from the benefit of percentage depletion, and (iii) a small decrease in the valuation allowance recorded during the current quarter on the Company's Canadian deferred tax assets generated in 2012 due to care and maintenance expenditures at Hope Bay compared to the prior quarter valuation allowance resulting from the impairment of certain marketable equity securities.

During the first nine months of 2012, estimated income and mining tax expense was $746,resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first nine months of 2011 was $863 for an effective tax rate of 31%. The slightly higher effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2012 is primarily due to the change in valuation allowances recorded on the Company's deferred tax assets.

The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and pay the income taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company's business conducted within the country involved.

At September 30, 2012, the Company's total unrecognized tax benefit was $237 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $19 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective income tax rate.

As a result of the statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $10to $15in the next 12 months.

The Company's income and mining tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States statutory corporate income tax rate for the following reasons:

Derivative Instruments [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 16    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company's strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. The Company continues to manage certain risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.All of the derivative instruments described below were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as cash flow or fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

The foreign currency, diesel and forward starting swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive incomeand are reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

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 exchange rates. Newmont hedges a portion of the Company's A$ andNZ$ denominated operating expenditureswhich results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to five years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$ and $/NZ$ rates, respectively.

In June 2011, Newmont began hedging aportion of the Company's A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the Akyem project in Africautilizing fixed forward contracts with expiration dates up to two years.

In July 2011, Newmont began hedging aportion of the Company's A$ denominated capital expenditures related to the planned constructionof a mine shaft at Tanami in Australia utilizing foreign currency contracts. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates up to three years.

Newmont had the following foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2012:

Newmont hedges a portion of its operating cost exposure related to diesel 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 up to three years.

Newmont had the following diesel derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2012:

	Expected hedge ratio		69	%		54	%		27	%		8	%

Forward Starting Swap Contracts

During 2011, Newmont entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts with a total notional value of $2,000. These contracts hedged movements in treasury rates related to a debt issuance that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. On March 8, 2012, Newmont closed its sale of $2,500senior notes consisting of 3.5% senior notes due 2022 in the principal amount of $1,500 (10-year notes), and 4.875% senior notes due 2042 in the principal amount of $1,000 (30-year notes). As a result, the forward-starting interest rate swaps were settled for$362, of which $349represented the effective portion of the hedging instrument included in Accumulated other comprehensive income. The net proceeds from the debt issuance were adjusted by the settlement amount of the swap contracts and included as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

The Company's provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices' prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

London Metal Exchange (“LME”) copper prices averaged $3.50 per pound during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2012, compared with the Company's recorded average provisional price of $3.53 per pound before mark-to-market adjustmentsand treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.61 per pound during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012, compared with the Company's recorded average provisional price of $3.60per pound before mark-to-market adjustmentsand treatment and refining charges.

At September 30, 2012, Newmont had copper sales of 67 million pounds priced at an average of $3.74 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

Fair Value Accounting [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

NOTE 15FAIR 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 following table sets forth the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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 securities are segregated based on industry. 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 non-active markets and as such are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.The Company's marketable debt securities include investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The Company reviews the fair value for auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper on a quarterly basis. 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 using cash flow assumptions discounted approximately 42%, which reflects an estimated discount for lack of marketability. The Company estimated the fair value of its asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return ranging from 13%-74% for each class of notes, which is reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities. As a result of utilizing the unobservable inputs noted above in its fair value estimation of the Company's auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper, both fair value estimates are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company's net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales, subject to final pricing, is valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves 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. 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 estimated value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales. This contingent royalty is capped at $100, and at June 30,2012,the Companyincreased the accrual to the maximum of $100 using the following long-term price assumptions: 1) $1,500 per ounce gold price, 2) $3.50 per pound copper price, 3) $90 per barrel of oil, and 4) a $1.00 A$/US$ exchange rate. The Company used an approximate4% discount rate in the model. The contingent royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair value of the Holt sliding scale royaltywas determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices utilizinga long-term gold price assumption of$1,500 per ounce, various gold production scenariosbased on publicly available reserve and resource information for the Holt property and an approximate3%weighted average discount rate. The sliding scale royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company'sLevel 3 financial assets and liabilities for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012:

		Auction Rate Securities		Asset Backed Commercial Paper		Total Assets		Boddington Contingent Royalty		Holt Property Royalty		Total Liabilities
Balance at beginning of period		$	5	$	19	$	24	$	54	$	176	$	230
	Settlements		-		-		-		(22)		(12)		(34)
	Revaluation		-		1		1		12		110		122
Balance at end of period		$	5	$	20	$	25	$	44	$	274	$	318

At September 30, 2012, assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent 1%and 100%, respectively,of total assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
