NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed October 26, 2006.

References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “CDN$” to Canadian currency, “IDR” to Indonesian currency and “$” to United States currency.

Certain amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and at December 31, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. The Company has reclassified the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement amounts for the Golden Grove, Holloway and Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture operations from the historical presentation to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows and to assets and liabilities of operations held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented.

(2) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Deferred Stripping Costs

On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-06 (“EITF 04-06”), “Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during Production in the Mining Industry.” EITF 04-06 addresses the accounting for stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine and refers to these costs as variable production costs that should be included as a component of inventory to be recognized in Costs applicable to sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of inventory. As a result, capitalization of post-production stripping costs is appropriate only to the extent product inventory exists at the end of a reporting period. The guidance requires application through recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption, with no charge to current earnings for prior periods. The results for prior periods have not been restated. The cumulative effect adjustment reduced opening retained earnings by $81 (net of tax and minority interests) and eliminated the $71 net deferred stripping asset from the balance sheet. Adoption of EITF 04-06 had no impact on the Company’s cash position or net cash from operations.

Prior to 2006 at some of the Company’s mining operations, deferred stripping costs were charged to Costs applicable to sales as gold or copper was produced and sold using the units of production method based on estimated recoverable quantities of proven and probable gold or copper reserves, using a stripping ratio calculated as the ratio of total tons to be moved to total proven and probable ore reserves, which resulted in the recognition of the costs of waste removal activities over the life of the mine as gold or copper was produced. The application of the deferred stripping accounting method generally resulted in an asset (deferred stripping costs), although a liability (advanced stripping costs) arose when the actual stripping ratio incurred to date was less than the expected stripping ratio over the life of the mine. The Advanced stripping costs primarily pertained to the Batu Hijau operation.

Movements in the net deferred stripping cost balance were as follows:

Stock Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In accordance with APB 25, no compensation cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The Company adopted FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123, and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123(R). The results for prior periods have not been restated.

As a result of adopting FAS 123(R), the Company’s Income from continuing operations and Net income for the three and nine month periods of 2006 is $4 ($0.01 per share, basic and diluted) and $14 ($0.03 per share, basic and diluted) lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25 as we did in the comparable prior year periods. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R), cash retained as a result of tax deductions relating to stock-based compensation was included in operating cash flows, along with other tax cash flows, and requires tax benefits relating to the deductibility of increases in the equity instruments issued under share-based compensation arrangements that are not included in Costs applicable to sales (“excess tax benefits”) to be presented in the Statement of Cash Flows as financing cash inflows. The (expense) benefit realized for tax deductions from option exercises totaled $(8) and $4 for the three and nine month periods of 2006, respectively.

The Company currently maintains the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Plan”), approved by stockholders on April 27, 2005, for executives and eligible employees. Under this Stock Plan, options to purchase shares of stock can be granted with exercise prices not less than fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Fair market value of a share of common stock as of the grant date is the average of the high and low sales prices for a share of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company also maintains prior stock plans, but no longer grants awards under these plans. Options granted under the Company’s stock plans vest over periods ranging from two to four years and are exercisable over a period of time not to exceed 10 years from grant date. At September 30, 2006, 17,570,931 shares were available for future grants under the Company’s Stock Plan.

The value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award and stock price volatility. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those options expected to vest. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, our recorded and pro forma stock-based compensation expense could have been different from that reported. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model used the following assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively: weighted-average risk-free interest rates of 4.9% and 3.9%; dividend yields of 0.7% and 1%; expected lives of five years and four years; and volatility of 34%

As of September 30, 2006, there was $32 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 was $10 and $5, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the nine month period of 2006 and 2005 was $48 and $10, respectively. 1,153,974 stock options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The weighted-average exercise price of the stock options vested was $36.65 in 2006. 1,024,047 stock options vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. The weighted-average exercise price of the stock options vested was $32.75 in 2005.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123(R) to options granted under our stock option plans in the three and nine month periods of 2005:

Compensation expense recorded for restricted stock was $nil and $2 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $nil and $7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The shares of restricted stock vest in equal increments annually over three years.

Restricted stock units also are granted, upon achievement of certain financial and operating thresholds, to employees in certain foreign jurisdictions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company granted 19,181 restricted stock units at the weighted-average fair market value of $58 per underlying share of the Company’s common stock.

Income Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

Pensions

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 requires employers that sponsor one or more defined benefit plans to (i) recognize the funded status of a benefit plan in its statement of financial position, (ii) recognize the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, (iii) measure the defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s

During the third quarter of 2006, Newmont sold its Alberta oil sands project to the Korean National Oil Corporation and its Martabe gold project in Indonesia to Agincourt Resources Limited (“Agincourt”). Newmont received net cash proceeds of $271 for the Alberta oil sands project resulting in a $266 pre-tax gain. Newmont received $42 net cash proceeds and approximately 43 million Agincourt shares valued at $37 for the Martabe project, resulting in a $30 pre-tax gain.

On September 27, 2006, Newmont settled its remaining obligations under the prepaid forward gold sales contract and forward gold purchase contract for which it was required to deliver 17,951 ounces of gold in December 2006 and 179,062 ounces of gold in June 2007. This settlement resulted in cash payments of $96, a $48 reduction to the current portion of long-term debt and a $40 pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt.

The gain on investments during 2005 was primarily attributable to the sale of Newmont’s investment in Kinross Gold Corporation which resulted in a $20 pre-tax gain.

(5) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

In early July 2006, Newmont’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Company’s 50% interest in the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture. However, as a result of the Uzbek government’s expropriation of the Company’s assets in August 2006, an impairment loss of $101 was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company will continue to challenge the Uzbek government’s actions through international arbitration.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, Newmont committed to plans to divest its Holloway operation in Canada. In September 2006, Newmont reached an agreement with St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. to sell the Holloway operation for cash proceeds of $40 plus certain royalties. Newmont expects the sale of Holloway to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2006.

During June 2005, Newmont announced the pending sale of its Golden Grove copper-zinc operation in Western Australia to Oxiana Limited (“Oxiana”) for cash of A$190 and 82 million Oxiana shares. The sale was completed on July 26, 2005.

Newmont has accounted for these dispositions in accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company has reclassified the balance sheet amounts and the income statement results from the historical presentation to Assets and Liabilities of operations held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and to Loss from discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified for assets held for sale and discontinued operations for all periods presented.

(6) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales

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

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded the following gross revenues before treatment and refining charges, which were subject to final price adjustments at September 30, 2006 and 2005, as follows:

Price-Capped Forward Sales Contracts

In 2001, Newmont entered into transactions that closed out certain call options. The options were replaced with a series of forward sales contracts requiring physical delivery of the same quantity of gold over slightly extended future periods. Under the terms of the contracts, Newmont will realize the lower of the spot price on the delivery date or the capped price ranging from $381 to $392 per ounce. The initial fair value of the forward sales contracts was recorded as deferred revenue. At September 30, 2006, $47 remained in deferred revenue and will be included in revenue as delivery occurs. The forward sales contracts are accounted for as normal sales contracts under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an Amendment to SFAS No. 133.”

Newmont had the following price-capped forward sales contracts outstanding at September 30, 2006:

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

In 2001, Newmont entered into contracts to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on a portion of its $275 8 5/8% notes and its $200 8 3/8% debentures. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, these transactions resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $nil and $1, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, these transactions resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $nil and $3, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $1 and $2 at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Scheduled minimum debt repayments at September 30, 2006 are $83 for the remainder of 2006, $122 in 2007, $243 in 2008, $125 in 2009, $133 in 2010 and $1,251 thereafter.

On September 27, 2006, Newmont settled its remaining obligations under the prepaid forward gold sales contract and forward gold purchase contract for which it was required to deliver 17,951 ounces of gold in December 2006 and 179,062 ounces of gold in June 2007. This settlement resulted in cash payments of approximately $96, a $48 reduction to the current portion of long-term debt and a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $40. During June 2006, 161,111 ounces of gold were physically delivered in connection with the prepaid forward sales obligation and the Company recorded a non-cash reduction in debt of $48.

On July 27, 2006, Yanacocha issued $100 of bonds into the Peruvian capital markets under a $200 bond program approved by the Peruvian securities regulatory authority. The bonds are held by various Peruvian entities, including pension funds, mutual funds, government funds and insurance companies. The issuance is comprised of $42 of floating interest rate bonds bearing interest at a rate of Libor plus 1.4375%; and $58 of fixed rate bonds bearing interest at 7.0%. The bonds have a four year grace period and amortize quarterly over six years. The bonds are unsecured and are non-recourse to Newmont.

On May 19, 2006, Yanacocha entered into an unsecured $100 bank financing with a syndicate of Peruvian commercial banks, comprised of Banco de Credito del Peru, Banco Continental and Banco Wiese Sudameris. Quarterly repayments begin in May 2007 with final maturity May 2014. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate of Libor plus 1.875%. The loan is non-recourse to Newmont.
