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$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian 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 4 RECLAMATION AND REMEDIATION

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,145 and $1,070, respectively, were accrued for reclamation obligations relating to mineral properties. In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former, primarily historic, mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $191 and $170, respectively, were accrued for such obligations. These amounts are also included in Reclamation and remediation liabilities.

NOTE 9 INCOME AND MINING TAXES

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded estimated income and mining tax expense of $175 resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the second quarter of 2011 was $187 for an effective tax rate of 22%. During the first half of 2012, estimated income and mining tax expense was $518 resulting in an effective tax rate of 33%. Estimated income and mining tax expense during the first half of 2011 was $492 for an effective tax rate of 27%. The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter and first half of 2012 is a result of the following: (i) valuation allowances recorded on our Canadian deferred tax assets generated in 2012 due to care and maintenance expenditures at Hope Bay, (ii) an increase in mining taxes included in Income and mining tax expense, primarily related to Nevada and Peru, and (iii) a $65 non-recurring tax benefit in the second quarter and first half of 2011, recorded in connection with the conversion of non-U.S. tax-paying entities to entities currently subject to U.S. income tax which resulted in an increase in net 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 June 30, 2012, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $245 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $28 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 $20 to $25 in 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:


	Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012						2011						2012						2011

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 first half of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $71 charge, net of tax benefits of $4, to reflect an increase in future expected production at the Holt property due to new reserve and resource estimates published by St. Andrew and a higher gold price.

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations of $8 in the first half of 2012 relates to payments on the Holt property royalty.

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 to basic income per common share except that weighted average common shares is increased to include the potential issuance of dilutive common shares.

Options to purchase 2 and 3 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $58 and $57 were outstanding at June 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 (Newmont 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 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 $21, which were recorded in Other Expense, net in the first half of 2011.

On June 25, 2009 the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (“AngloGold”), with a transaction that included maximum contingent consideration of $100, based on an operating margin royalty. Since the completion of the acquisition, the Company has accrued the maximum royalty, of which $12 was accrued in the current quarter.

NOTE 15 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:



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

		Level 2		Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

		Level 3		Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The 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 Company has accrued the maximum of $100. At June 30, 2012 the Company used 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 4% 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 six months ended June 30, 2012:


	Auction Rate Securities		Asset Backed Commercial Paper		Total Assets		Boddington Contingent Royalty			Holt Property Royalty			Total Liabilities

Balance at end of period	$	5	$	19	$	24	$	44		$	243		$	287

At June 30, 2012, assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy represent 1% and 97%, 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 income 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.

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

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

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

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

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 ranging up to three years from the date of issue.

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

Expected hedge ratio		71	%		50	%		24	%		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 $3.57 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.52 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.67 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.65 per pound before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $18 ($0.40 per pound) and gain of $13 ($0.12 per pound), respectively. At June 30, 2012, Newmont had copper sales of 40 million pounds priced at an average of $3.44 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,609 per ounce during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,607 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,651 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,651 per ounce before mark-to-market adjustments and treatment and refining charges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $2 ($2 per ounce) and gain of $4 ($1 per ounce), respectively. At June 30, 2012, Newmont had gold sales of 74,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,600 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,145 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 $45 and $47 at June 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, $191 and $170 were accrued for such obligations at June 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 108% greater or 7% lower than the amount accrued at June 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. Therefore, Newmont intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of this matter.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

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

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

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

Grey Eagle Mine Site. By letter dated September 3, 2002, the EPA notified Newmont that the EPA had expended $3 in response costs to address environmental conditions associated with a historic tailings pile located at the Grey Eagle Mine site near Happy Camp, California, and requested that Newmont pay those costs. The EPA has identified four potentially responsible parties, including Newmont. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the Grey Eagle Mine site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.

Ross-Adams Mine Site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont 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.

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

Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which 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.

In accordance with the Contract of Work, an offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the Indonesian government in 2006 and an offer for an additional 7% interest was made in each of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. While the central government declined to participate in the 2006 and 2007 offers, local governments in the area in which the Batu Hijau mine is located expressed interest in acquiring shares, as did various Indonesian nationals. After disagreement with the government over whether the government’s first right to purchase had expired and receipt of Notices of Default from the government claiming breach and threatening termination of the Contract of Work, on March 3, 2008, the Indonesian government filed for international arbitration as provided under the Contract of Work, as did PTNNT.

An international arbitration panel (the “Panel”) was appointed to resolve these claims and other claims that had arisen in relation to divestment and on March 31, 2009, the Panel issued its final award and decision on the matter. In its decision, the Panel determined that PTNNT’s foreign shareholders had not complied with the divestiture procedure required by the Contract of Work in 2006 and 2007, but the Panel ruled that the Indonesian government was not entitled to immediately terminate the Contract of Work and rejected the Indonesian government’s claim for damages. In November and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were transferred to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”), the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were transferred 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 October 2011, press reports stated that Indonesia’s Supreme Audit Agency had determined that parliamentary approval is required. The Ministry of Finance continues to dispute the need for parliamentary approval and has filed a case with Indonesia’s Constitutional Court to have the issue finally resolved. 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 September 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. 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, and the Company’s from being a holding company of PTNNT. 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 the March 2009 arbitration award pertaining to the manner in which divestiture of shares in PTNNT should proceed (refer to the discussion of PTNNT above for the arbitration results). 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 has appealed the case to the Indonesian Supreme Court.

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

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. The order is not final and binding until the appeal process is completed. NIL and NTMC appealed the decision. 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. In the Company’s view, this ruling further conflicts with the November 30, 2010 ruling finding that PTPI has rights in the divestiture shares. PTPI has filed a notice of appeal. In March 2012, the District Court dismissed PTPI’s final two cases that were pending at the trial court level, and PTPI has to date appealed one 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, which is nonbinding until the appeal process is completed.

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 it is not known whether PTPI and its shareholders will abide 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 but it is not known whether PTPI and its shareholders will comply with the court order. NIL and NVL have also registered the final award in the Central Jakarta District Court to seek enforcement in Indonesia.

The Company intends to continue vigorously defending the PTPI lawsuits and pursuing its claims against PTPI.

NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc.

In April 2011, Newmont acquired Fronteer Gold Inc. (“Fronteer”). Fronteer has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court by NWG Investments Inc. (“NWG”).

Fronteer acquired NewWest Gold Corporation (“NewWest Gold”) in September 2007. At the time of that acquisition, 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.

NWG has not yet filed or served a complaint upon Fronteer or Newmont. 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $1,661 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.

References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian 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, as we continue to deliver solid leverage to the gold price. Second quarter 2012 highlights are included below and discussed further in Results of Consolidated Operations.

Operating highlights

•

Average realized gold price of $1,598 and $1,643 per ounce for the second quarter and first half of 2012, up 6% and 14% respectively;

•

Average realized copper price of $2.85 and $3.49 per pound for the second quarter and first half of 2012, down 25% and 11% respectively;

•

Consolidated Sales of $2,229 and $4,912 for the second quarter and first half of 2012, down 7% and up 1% respectively;

•

Gold Costs applicable to sales of $681 and $649 per ounce, for the second quarter and first half of 2012, up 17% and 14% respectively;

•

Copper Costs applicable to sales of $2.35 and $2.14 per pound, for the second quarter and first half of 2012, up 75% and 77% respectively;

•

Cash flow from continuing operations of $964 for the first half of 2012, down 31% from the prior year;

•

Third quarter gold price-linked dividend payable of $0.35 per share, an increase of 17% over the prior year quarter, reflecting London PM Fix; and

•

2012 attributable gold production outlook narrowed to 5.0 to 5.1 million ounces; maintaining Company-wide Costs applicable to sales outlook of $625 to $675 per ounce and reducing outlook for capital expenditures to $3,300 to $3,600.

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, Tanami Shaft in Australia 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 three to six months expected for ramp-up 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 $496 have been incurred. Total property, plant and mine development, including acquisition costs, was $744 at June 30, 2012. At December 31, 2011, we reported 7.4 million ounces of gold reserves at Akyem.

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 in Peru on June 22, 2012. Spending on the project will be reduced in 2012 and 2013 from $2,900 to $850. Focus will be on building four water reservoirs, completing the last engineering activities and accepting delivery of the main equipment purchases. Total property, plant and mine development was $1,320 at June 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 impairment of the Conga project.

Tanami Shaft, Australia. Development efforts at the Tanami Shaft continue to progress. The project supports underground expansion at the Callie and Auron ore bodies to reduce cut-off grade, enhance productivity and facilitate possible additional mine expansion. The project is expected to add 60,000 to 90,000 ounces of gold production per year during production while lowering Costs applicable to sales by $100 per ounce at Tanami in Other Australia/New Zealand. Capital costs are expected to be $400 to $450, of which $46 have been incurred at June 30, 2012.

Phoenix Copper Leach, Nevada. The Board of Directors authorized full funding for the Phoenix Copper Leach project in Nevada in April 2012. Delivering the Phoenix Copper Leach project on time and within budget generates positive economics and provides operational diversity to the site and the North America region. The project also demonstrates the viability of permitting copper leaching in Nevada, thus generating a springboard for future opportunities in the region. Copper production is expected to be 21 to 23 million pounds per year for the first five years of production at Costs applicable to sales of $1.76 to $1.91 per pound. Capital costs are expected to be $170 to $215, of which $45 have been incurred at June 30, 2012.

Emigrant, Nevada. Construction is nearing completion and first production is anticipated in the second half of 2012. Emigrant provides a new source of gold production for the North America region, over an 8.5 year mine life. 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 of the mine’s operating life. Capital costs are estimated at approximately $100, of which $82 have been incurred at June 30, 2012. At December 31, 2011, we reported 1.6 million ounces of gold reserves at Emigrant.

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 will require significant funding when 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 for 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 (assumes 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 continue to develop our understanding of what we expect could be another Carlin-type trend at Long Canyon. We continue to make progress on the drilling program and we anticipate an additional 30 kilometers to be drilled in 2012. Our intention is to bring the project into production in 2017 with initial estimated gold production of 200,000 to 300,000 ounces per year for the first five years of the mine’s operating life.

Consolidated Financial Results

Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the second quarter of 2012 was $279 ($0.56 per share) compared to $387 ($0.78 per share) for the second quarter of 2011. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first half of 2012 was $769 ($1.55 per share) compared to $901 ($1.82 per share) for the first half of 2011. Results for the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011 were impacted by lower production from Batu Hijau, Tanami, Waihi and Ahafo, lower copper prices, timing of metal sales and higher production costs, partially offset by higher gold prices, higher production from Nevada, La Herradura and Yanacocha and a $136 Loss from discontinued operations in 2011.

Gold Sales increased 1% and 10% in the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011 due to higher realized gold prices, partially offset by lower sales volumes. The following analysis summarizes the change in consolidated gold sales:

Costs applicable to sales for gold increased in the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to higher milling costs and diesel prices, lower silver by-product credits, a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging and a higher co-product allocation of costs to gold, partially offset by a build-up of precious metals inventory at Nevada and Yanacocha and a build-up of concentrate inventory at Boddington and Batu Hijau. Costs applicable to sales for copper increased in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to higher milling costs at Boddington, partially offset by lower co-product allocation of costs to copper and a build-up of concentrate inventory at Boddington and Batu Hijau. Costs applicable to sales for copper in the first half of 2012 was in line with the same period of 2011. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.

Amortization decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011 due to a build-up of precious metals inventory at Nevada and Yanacocha, a build-up of concentrate inventory at Boddington and Batu Hijau and longer processing facility lives resulting from an increase in Nevada reserves at December 31, 2011. We continue to expect Amortization to be $1,050 to $1,080 in 2012.

Exploration expense increased $17 and $43 in the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011 due to additional expenditures in South America, Asia Pacific and Africa, partially offset by reduced expenditures at Hope Bay in North America. We lowered our expected Exploration expense to $360 to $390 in 2012.

Advanced projects, research and development expense in the second quarter and first half of 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows:

We lowered our expected Advanced projects, research and development expenses to $425 to $475 in 2012, with a primary focus on Merian in South America, Midas and Long Canyon in Nevada, Chaquicocha underground at Yanacocha, Elang in Indonesia and Ahafo mill expansion in Africa.

General and administrative expenses increased by $7 and $16 for the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011 due to higher labor costs. We lowered our expected General and administrative expenses to $200 to $220 in 2012.

Other expense, net increased by $39 in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 mainly due to Hope Bay care and maintenance costs and higher regional administration expense, partially offset by lower acquisition related costs in 2012. Other expense, net increased by $86 in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011 due to Hope Bay care and maintenance, higher regional administration expense, partially offset by the Indonesian value added tax settlement in 2011 and lower acquisition related costs. At Hope Bay, we expect to spend an additional $50 in the remainder of 2012 for care and maintenance, and approximately $25 per year thereafter.

Other income, net decreased by $12 in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to lower gain on sale of investments and higher impairment losses of marketable securities, partially offset by income from developing projects and foreign currency exchange gains in 2012, compared to losses in 2011. Other income, net decreased by $10 in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011 due to lower gain on sale of investments and higher impairment losses of marketable securities, partially offset by reduction of allowance for loan receivable and lower foreign exchange losses.

Interest expense, net increased by $8 in the second 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 $5 for the first half 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 $15 and $32 in the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011 due to increased capital expenditures. We continue to expect Interest expense, net to be $240 to $260 in 2012.

Income and mining tax expense during the second quarter of 2012 was $175 resulting in an effective tax rate of 32%. Income and mining tax expense during the second quarter of 2011 was $187 for an effective tax rate of 22%.

Income and mining tax expense during the first half of 2012 was $518 resulting in an effective tax rate of 33%. Income and mining tax expense during the first half of 2011 was $492 for an effective tax rate of 27%. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2011 to 2012 is a result of the following: (i) valuation allowances recorded on our Canadian deferred tax assets generated in 2012 due to care and maintenance expenditures at Hope Bay, (ii) an increase in mining taxes included in Income and mining tax expense, primarily related to Nevada and Peru, and (iii) a $65 non-recurring tax benefit in the second quarter and first half of 2011, recorded in connection with the conversion of non-U.S. tax-paying entities to entities currently subject to U.S. income tax. 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, the tax benefit recorded in 2011 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 30% to 32%, assuming an average realized gold price of $1,650 per ounce in the remainder of the year.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $92 in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $137 in the second quarter of 2011 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau, partially offset by increased earnings at Yanacocha. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $205 in the first half of 2012 compared to $293 in the first half of 2011 as a result of decreased earnings at Batu Hijau, partially offset by increased earnings at Yanacocha.

Loss from discontinued operations includes an additional charge for the Holt property royalty. During the first half of 2012, the Company recorded an additional $71 charge, net of tax benefits of $4, to reflect an increase in 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 may have a significant impact on the fair value of the liability.

Second quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Consolidated gold production decreased 2% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau, lower throughput at Tanami and Waihi in Other Australia/New Zealand and lower mill grade at Ahafo, partially offset by higher throughput at Nevada and higher mill production at Yanacocha. Consolidated copper production decreased 15% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 17% due to lower production, higher mining, milling, labor and royalty costs and a higher co-product allocation of costs to gold. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 75% due to lower production at Batu Hijau, partially offset by lower co-product allocation of costs to copper.

Amortization increased 6% per consolidated gold ounce sold and 70% per consolidated copper pound sold due to lower production.

First half 2012 compared to 2011

Consolidated gold production decreased 2% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau, lower throughput at Waihi and Tanami in Other Australia/New Zealand and lower grade at Ahafo, partially offset by higher throughput and grade at Nevada, higher throughput, grade and recovery at Yanacocha and higher leach placement at La Herradura. Consolidated copper production decreased 31% due to processing lower grade stockpiles at Batu Hijau.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 14% due to lower production from Batu Hijau and Other Australia/New Zealand, higher mining, milling, labor and royalty costs, lower silver by-product credits and higher diesel prices, partially offset by higher production and lower mining costs at Yanacocha. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 77% due to lower production at Batu Hijau.

Amortization per consolidated gold ounce sold was in line with the prior year, while Amortization increased 64% per consolidated copper pound sold due to higher costs at Boddington and Batu Hijau.

We narrowed our 2012 attributable gold production outlook to 5.0 to 5.1 million ounces while maintaining consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $625 to $675. The lower attributable gold production outlook is due to lower tons mined at Tanami and Waihi in Asia Pacific. We lowered our copper production outlook to 145 to 165 million pounds attributable to Newmont while maintaining consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of $1.80 to $2.20 in 2012.

Second quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Boddington, Australia. Gold production decreased 10% due to lower mill grade and recovery, partially offset by higher mill throughput. Copper production increased 20% due to higher mill throughput and grade, partially offset by lower recovery. Gold Costs applicable to sales increased 48% per ounce due to lower gold production and higher milling costs. Copper Costs applicable to sales increased 44% per pound due to higher milling 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 73% per ounce due to lower gold production and a decrease in stockpile inventory. Amortization increased 58% per pound due to stockpile inventory changes.

Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Gold and copper production decreased 68% and 25%, respectively, due to processing lower grade stockpile ore. Waste tons mined increased 14% as Phase 6 waste removal continues as planned. Costs applicable to sales increased 92% per ounce and 79% per pound due to lower production and higher waste mining costs, partially offset by a build-up in concentrate inventory. Costs applicable to sales per ounce and per pound were also impacted by a higher allocation of costs to gold. Amortization increased 74% per ounce and 61% per pound due to lower production.

Other Australia/New Zealand. Gold production decreased 15% due to lower underground mining rates at Tanami and a delay in open pit ore production at Waihi, partially offset by higher throughput and grade at Jundee. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 38% due to lower production, higher operating costs driven by higher power prices and a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains. Amortization per ounce increased 32% due to lower production.

First half 2012 compared to 2011

Boddington, Australia. Gold production decreased 6% due to lower mill grade and recovery, partially offset by higher mill throughput. Copper production increased 14% due to higher mill throughput, partially offset by lower recovery. Costs applicable to sales increased 39% per ounce and 14% per pound due to lower gold production, higher milling costs, higher diesel prices and a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains, partially offset by higher copper production. Amortization increased 41% per ounce due to lower gold production and a decrease in stockpile inventory. Amortization increased 13% per pound due to stockpile inventory changes.

Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Gold and copper production decreased 73% and 40%, respectively, due to processing lower grade stockpile ore. Waste tons mined increased 20% as Phase 6 waste removal continues as planned. The Company expects to reach Phase 6 ore in the last half of 2013. Costs applicable to sales increased 141% per ounce and 94% per pound due to lower production and higher waste mining costs, partially offset by a build-up in concentrate inventory. Costs applicable to sales per ounce and per pound were impacted by higher allocation of costs to gold. Amortization increased 108% per ounce and 67% per pound due to lower production.

Other Australia/New Zealand. Gold production decreased 13% due to lower underground mining rates at Tanami, a planned mill shutdown and delay in open pit ore production at Waihi and lower throughput and grade at Kalgoorlie. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 36% due to lower production and higher operating costs driven by higher power costs and diesel prices and a stronger Australian dollar, net of hedging gains. Amortization per ounce increased 26% due to lower production.

We narrowed our attributable gold production outlook for Asia Pacific to 1.7 to 1.8 million ounces while maintaining a consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $800 to $850. The lower attributable gold production is primarily due to lower tons mined at Tanami and Waihi. We lowered our attributable copper production outlook to 145 to 165 million pounds while maintaining consolidated Costs applicable to sales per pound of $1.80 to $2.20 in 2012.

Second quarter 2012 compared to 2011

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production decreased 10% due to lower mill throughput and grade, partially offset by higher recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 31% due to lower production and higher labor, diesel and mine maintenance costs.

First half 2012 compared to 2011

Ahafo, Ghana. Gold production decreased 8% due to lower mill throughput and grade, partially offset by higher recovery. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 28% due to lower production and higher labor, diesel and mine maintenance costs.

We narrowed our attributable gold production outlook in Africa to 555,000 to 570,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of $550 and $600 in 2012. The lower attributable production is due to processing lower grade at Ahafo.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 44% and 43% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Approximately 44% and 42% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations decreased consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce by approximately $11 and $2, net of hedging gains, during the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Provided from Operating Activities

Net cash provided from continuing operations was $964 in the first half of 2012, a decrease of $439 from the first half of 2011, primarily due to lower cash flow from Batu Hijau. Working capital increased by $228 in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011 due to increases in inventory and stockpiles in 2012, a decrease in accounts receivable in 2011 related to the collection of Batu Hijau fourth quarter 2010 copper and gold concentrate sales and an increase in Costs applicable to sales in 2012 as discussed above in Consolidated Financial Results, partially offset by a decrease in income tax payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $1,714 during the first half of 2012 compared to $3,280 during the same period of 2011, due largely to the acquisition of Fronteer in 2011. Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Capital expenditures in North America during the first half of 2012 were primarily related to development of the Emigrant mine and the Phoenix copper leach projects, surface 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 project at Ahafo. As a result of the revised estimates for the Conga project in Peru we now 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 half 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 half of 2012 we received $106 from the sale of corporate marketable debt securities. During the first half of 2011, we received $55 from the sale of our investment in New Gold, Inc.

We repaid $973 of debt, including repayment of $713 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 $35 for the remainder of 2012, $10 in 2013, $533 in 2014, $10 in 2015, $10 in 2016 and $5,530 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 June 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.

Dividends paid to common stockholders. We declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $0.70 and $0.35 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We paid dividends of $347 and $173 to common stockholders in the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests. We paid dividends of $3 and $17 to noncontrolling interests during the first half 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 $15 and $8 during the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively, from the issuance of common stock.

Discontinued Operations

Net operating cash used in discontinued operations was $8 and $2 in the first half 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 $1,661 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 June 30, 2012, the Company had $1,897 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $1,365 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 June 30, 2012, $511 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 June 30, 2012, $408 in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($264 attributable to Newmont) was held at certain foreign subsidiaries that, if repatriated and depending on the jurisdiction could 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 June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1,145 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, $191 and $170 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We spent $27 and $8 during the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities and have classified $22 as a current liability at June 30, 2012.

During the first half of 2012 and 2011, capital expenditures were approximately $86 and $55, 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.

Accounting Developments

For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 2 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:


	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

Adjusted net income per share, diluted	$	0.59	$	0.89		$	1.74	$	1.91

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.

The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

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:

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.

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.

The fair value of the A$ foreign currency operating derivative contracts was a net asset position of $220 and $223 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the NZ$ foreign currency derivative contracts was a net asset position of $1 and $1 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of the A$ capital foreign currency contracts was a net asset position and net liability position of $2 and $1 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Diesel Price Risk

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


	Expected Maturity Date
		2012			2013			2014			2015			Total Average
Diesel Fixed Forward Contracts:
Diesel gallons (millions)			16			22			10			1			49

Expected hedge ratio			71	%		50	%		24	%		8	%

The fair value of the diesel derivative contracts was a net liability position of $8 at June 30, 2012 and a net asset position of $1 at December 31, 2011.

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.

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, 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. 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.
