NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
(1)    Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements and Supplemental Accounting Policy Information
 
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included, including adjustments designed to capture the anticipated restatements described below. Numbers included have been restated to reflect the necessary adjustments. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Newmont included in its 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and information on Form 8-K dated February 15, 2002, including Amendment No.1, filed on April 16, 2002, as well as any subsequent amendments to the Form 10-K and the Form 8-K.
 
The preparation of Newmont’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical accounting principles upon which Newmont’s financial position and results of operations depends are those requiring estimates of proven and probable reserves, recoverable ounces therefrom, Newmont’s ability to renew the mining leases upon which certain of those reserves are located, and/or assumptions of future gold prices. Such estimates and assumptions affect the value of inventories (which are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value), the potential impairment of long-lived assets and the ability to realize income tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions also affect the rate at which depreciation and amortization are charged to earnings. As noted above, commodity prices significantly affect Newmont’s profitability and cash flow. In addition, management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties as well as remediation costs for inactive properties as described below. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on such estimates and assumptions.
 
On February 13, 2002, Newmont stockholders approved adoption of an Agreement and Plan of Merger that provided for a restructuring of Newmont to facilitate the February 2002 acquisitions described below and to create a flexible corporate structure. Newmont merged with an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary that resulted in Newmont (or “Old Newmont”) becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company. The new holding company, previously a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Newmont, was renamed Newmont Mining Corporation. There was no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Newmont as a result of this restructuring and former stockholders of Old Newmont became stockholders of the new holding company. Old Newmont was subsequently renamed Newmont USA Limited.

As further discussed in Note 16, Newmont has determined that certain adjustments are required to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and at December 31, 2001. Overall the adjustments reduced net income in the third quarter of 2001 by $2.8 million, or $0.01 per share, and increased the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 by $6.1 million, or $0.03 per share. The adjustments also increased the retained deficit of the Company at December 31, 2001 by $13.0 million. These adjustments were necessary (i) to account for a prepaid forward sales contract and a forward purchase contract as a single borrowing; (ii) to correct depreciation rates on certain mining assets at the

6


Company’s subsidiary, Minera Yanacocha; and (iii) to record the impact in the Company’s investment in Batu Hijau, accounted for under the equity method, for incorrectly including non-reserve material in its depreciation calculations. See Note 16 for a detailed description of the effects of this restatement.
 
Newmont will also restate the Financial Statements contained in its previously filed Amendment No. 1 to the March 31, 2002 Form 10-Q/A, the June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q and the December 31, 2001 Form 10-K to reflect the restatement adjustments discussed in Note 16. All December 31, 2001 comparative financial information contained in this Form 10-Q is considered unaudited until such amendments are filed in the fourth quarter of 2002.
 
Mining Costs
 
In general, mining costs are charged to Costs applicable to sales as incurred. However, certain mining costs associated with open-pit deposits that have diverse grades and waste-to-ore ratios over the mine life are deferred. These mining costs are incurred on mining activities that are normally associated with the removal of waste rock at open-pit mines and which is commonly referred to as “deferred stripping.” Amortization, which is calculated using the unit-of-production method based on estimated recoverable ounces of proven and probable gold reserves, is charged to operating costs as gold is produced and sold, using a stripping ratio calculated as the ratio of total tons to be moved to total gold ounces to be recovered over the life of the mine, and result in the recognition of the costs of these mining activities over the life of the mine as gold is produced and sold. The application of the accounting for deferred stripping costs and the resulting differences in timing between costs capitalized and amortization generally results in an asset on the balance sheet (capitalized mining costs), although it is possible that a liability could arise if amortization exceeds costs capitalized.
 
Historically, Newmont classified capitalized mining costs as a component of Property, Plant and Mine Development on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Effective January 1, 2002, Newmont began classifying these costs as separate line items, Capitalized mining costs and Current portion of capitalized mining costs, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total capitalized mining costs as of September 30, 2002 were $62.9 million, including current portion of $44.0 million. Total capitalized mining costs as of December 31, 2001 of $91.6 million, including current portion of $71.5 million, have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. In addition, Newmont has historically classified additions to capitalized mining costs as a component of Additions to property, plant and mine development in Investing activities in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. At June 30 2002, Newmont also began classifying additions to capitalized mining costs as a component of Amortization of capitalized mining costs, net in Operating activities in the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. Additions to capitalized mining costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $13.5 million. Additions to capitalized mining costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 in the amount of $11.3 million have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The foregoing changes, which have no impact to reported earnings, have been made to more accurately reflect the operating nature of the deferred stripping method.
 
The average remaining life of the open-pit mine operations where the Company capitalizes mining costs is six years, which represents the time period over which the capitalized mining balance will be amortized. The amortization of these capitalized costs is reflected in the income statement in a pro-rata manner over the remaining life of the open-pit mine operations so that no unamortized balance remains at mine closure. Cash flows from the Company’s individual mining operations are reviewed regularly, and at least annually, for the purpose of assessing whether any write downs to the capitalized mining cost balances are required.

7


 
The life-of-mine weighted average waste-to-ore ratio is calculated based on tons mined during the period and is calculated as the ratio of waste tons mined to total ore tons mined. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the waste-to-ore ratio was 1.02 to 1 and 1.32 to 1, respectively, and for the nine- month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 the waste-to-ore ratio was 1.20 to 1 and 1.56 to 1, respectively. The decrease in the waste-to-ore ratios for the comparative three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, resulted primarily from an increase in ore tons mined at Minera Yanacocha.
 
Significant payments related to the acquisition of land and mineral rights are capitalized. The recoverability of the cost of land and mineral rights is significantly impacted by exploration drilling results. The length of time between the acquisition of land and mineral rights and the time when management performs its exploration work will vary depending on the prioritization of the Company’s exploration projects and the magnitude of its exploration budget. Management reviews the carrying values of land and mineral rights at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If a mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the unit-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. If no mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value.
 
Change In Accounting Policy—Property, Plant and Mine Development, Net
 
During the third quarter, Newmont changed its accounting policy, retroactive to January 1, 2002, with respect to depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of property, plant and mine development to exclude future estimated development costs expected to be incurred for certain underground operations. Previously, the Company had included these costs and associated reserves in its depreciation calculations at certain of its underground mining operations. In addition, Newmont further revised its policy such that costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are depreciated over the reserves associated with the specific ore area. These changes were made to better match DD&A with the associated ounces of gold sold and to remove the inherent uncertainty in estimating future development costs in arriving at DD&A rates. The cumulative effect of this change through December 31, 2001 increased net income by $7.7 million, net of tax of $4.1 million, and increased earnings per basic and diluted common share by $0.02 per share.
 
The effect of the change was to reduce DD&A expense by $1.6 million, $2.4 million and $0.5 million in the first, second and third quarters of 2002, respectively. The effect of the change to net income was an increase of $1.0 million, $1.6 million and $0.3 million in the first, second and third quarters of 2002, respectively. On a pro forma basis, the effect of the change was to reduce DD&A expense by $0.6 million and $0.3 million in the first and third quarters of 2001, respectively, and to increase DD&A expense by $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. The pro forma effect of the change to net income was an increase of $0.4 million and $0.2 million in the first and third quarters of 2001, respectively, and a decrease to net income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2001. There was no pro forma impact to earnings per share in any of the periods.
 
Newmont’s revised Property, plant and mine development accounting policy is as follows:
 
Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, costs incurred prospectively to develop the property are capitalized as incurred and are depreciated using the unit-of-production depreciation method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves. At the Company’s surface mines, these costs include costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body during the development stage of the project. At the Company’s underground mines, these costs include the cost of building of access ways, shaft sinking and access, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure development. To the extent that these costs benefit the entire ore body, they are depreciated on a units-of-production basis over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit of access to that area are depreciated over the proven and probable reserves of the specific ore area.

8


 
Major development costs incurred after the commencement of production, are capitalized as incurred and are depreciated using the unit-of-production depreciation method based on proven and probable reserves.
 
Ongoing development expenditures to maintain production are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Accounting for Merchant Banking Activities
 
Newmont accounts for its merchant banking activities on a historical cost basis in a separate wholly-owned subsidiary, which is included in the consolidated financial statements. Merchant banking activities include the development of value optimization strategies for operating and non operating assets, managing the equity investment portfolio, business development activities related to potential merger and acquisition analysis and negotiations, managing and building the royalty business, mobilizing and monetizing inactive exploration properties, capitalizing on Newmont’s proprietary technology know-how and acting as an internal resource for other corporate divisions to improve and maximize business outcomes. For segment reporting purposes, the merchant banking business is considered to be a separate operating segment because it engages in activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses and its operating results are regularly and separately reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations, including the Australian operations, is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. All assets and liabilities recorded in functional currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at current exchange rates. The resulting adjustments are charged or credited directly to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. All realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses are included in income in Dividends, interest, foreign currency exchange and other income. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency, and “$” or “US$”, to United States currency.
 
(2)    Acquisitions of Normandy and Franco-Nevada
 
In November 2001, Newmont announced proposed acquisitions of Normandy Mining Limited (“Normandy”), an Australian company, and Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation Limited (“Franco-Nevada”), a Canadian company. On February 16, 2002, Newmont completed the acquisition of Franco-Nevada pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement. On February 20, 2002, Newmont gained control of Normandy through an off-market bid for all of the ordinary shares in the capital of Normandy. For accounting purposes, the effective date of the Normandy acquisition was the close of business on February 15, 2002, when Newmont received binding tenders for more than 50% of the shares of Normandy. Accordingly, the results of operations of Normandy and Franco-Nevada have been included in the accompanying financial statements from February 16, 2002 forward. On February 26, 2002, when the off-market bid for Normandy expired, Newmont had a relevant interest in more than 96% of Normandy’s outstanding shares. Newmont exercised its compulsory acquisition rights under Australian law to acquire the remaining shares of Normandy in April 2002.
 
Consideration paid for Normandy included 3.85 shares of Newmont common stock for every 100 ordinary shares of Normandy (including ordinary shares represented by American depository receipts) plus A$0.50 per Normandy share, or the U.S. dollar equivalent of that amount for Normandy stockholders outside Australia. Pursuant to a Canadian Plan of Arrangement, Newmont acquired Franco-Nevada in a stock-for-stock transaction in which Franco-Nevada common stockholders received 0.8 of a share of Newmont common stock or 0.8 of a Canadian exchangeable share (exchangeable for Newmont common), for each common share of Franco-Nevada.

9


The exchangeable shares are substantially equivalent to Newmont common shares. The purchase price for these acquisitions totaled $4.4 billion, composed of 197.4 million Newmont shares (or share equivalents), $462.1 million in cash and approximately $90 million of direct costs. The value of Newmont shares (or share equivalents) was $19.01 per share based on the average market price of the shares over the two-day period before and after January 2, 2002, the last trading day before the final and revised terms for the acquisitions were announced.
 
The combination of Newmont, Normandy and Franco-Nevada was executed to create a platform for rational growth and for delivering superior returns to shareholders. With a larger global operating base, a broad and balanced portfolio of development projects and a stable income stream from mineral royalties and investments, the combined company will have opportunities to continually optimize returns. Newmont also expects to realize synergies through rationalization of corporate overhead and exploration programs, realization of operating efficiencies, and reductions in operating and procurement costs, interest expense and income taxes. Following the February 2002 acquisitions, Normandy was renamed Newmont Australia Limited and Franco-Nevada was renamed Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited.
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations,” the acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting whereby assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair market values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over such fair value was recorded as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill was preliminarily assigned to specific reporting units. Goodwill and other identifiable intangibles not subject to amortization will be reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. The following reflects the preliminary purchase allocation for the acquisition of 100% of Normandy (in millions, except per share data; unaudited):

The purchase price allocations for Normandy and Franco-Nevada are preliminary and will be finalized following the completion of an independent appraisal expected to be available by the end of 2002. The final purchase price allocations may differ from the preliminary allocation presented above, particularly with respect to the amounts allocated to acquired property, plant and equipment, mineral reserves, undeveloped mineral interests, exploration properties, equity investments in mining operations, intangibles and goodwill. The final purchase price allocation may result in increases in future depreciation, depletion and amortization charges. The Company does not currently anticipate this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

On a pro forma basis during the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, the net loss reflects mark-to-market losses on derivative instruments totaling $174.7 million and $132.3 million, respectively, net of tax. The above pro forma amounts do not include the application of hedge accounting prior to the acquisition to significant portions of acquired derivative instruments as hedge accounting documentation was not in place during these periods. The net loss for the first nine months of 2001 includes $43.7 million of expenses, net of tax, associated with Newmont’s merger with Battle Mountain Gold Company (“Battle Mountain”). The pro forma information is not indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated on January 1, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The information is not indicative of the combined Company’s future results of operations.

As part of the purchase of Normandy and Franco-Nevada during the first nine months of 2002, Newmont acquired identifiable intangible assets, other than goodwill, of $46.0 million, primarily for exploration properties. These intangible assets are not subject to amortization and will be tested for impairment at least annually.
 
The allocation of goodwill to reporting units is preliminary and is expected to be finalized by the end of 2002; therefore, the final allocation could differ from the preliminary allocation. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit during the first nine months of 2002 are summarized in the following table (in millions, and unaudited):

Investments in Affiliated Companies
 
Batu Hijau
 
Newmont has an indirect 45% interest in P.T. Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT), the owner of the Batu Hijau copper/gold mine in Indonesia, through its 56.25% interest in the Nusa Tenggara Partnership (NTP) which owns 80% of PTNNT. The equity investment in Batu Hijau was $603.0 million and $552.5 million at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Differences between 56.25% of NTP’s net assets and Newmont’s investment include (i) $197.8 million for the fair market value adjustment recorded by NTP in conjunction with Newmont’s initial contribution, (ii) $30.5 million for intercompany charges, (iii) $110.5 million for the fair market value adjustment recorded by Newmont in conjunction with the purchase of a subsidiary minority interest, and (iv) $139.8 million for contributions recorded by Newmont that were classified as debt by NTP. Certain of these amounts are amortized or depreciated on a unit-of-production basis. (See Note 14 for a description of Newmont’s equity income (loss) in Batu Hijau, where the net income (loss) reflects the elimination of interest between PTNNT and NTP).
 
PTNNT’s senior debt $1.0 billion project financing facility was guaranteed by Newmont and its partner until project completion tests were met in October 2000, at which time such debt became non-recourse to Newmont. Scheduled repayments of this debt are in semi-annual installments of $43.4 million through November 2010, and $22.1 million from May 2011 through November 2013.
 
On May 9, 2002, PTNNT completed a restructuring of its $1.0 billion project financing facility that provides PTNNT the capability to defer up to a total of $173.5 million in principal payments scheduled for 2002 and 2003. Any deferred principal amounts will be repaid between 2004 and 2010. Under this restructuring, PTNNT is not permitted to pay dividends or make other restricted payments to NTP’s partners as long as any amount of deferred principal is outstanding. However, there is no restriction on prepaying any of the deferred principal amounts. Amounts outstanding under the project financing facility total $913.3 million at September 30, 2002.
 
Newmont and its partner provide a contingent support line of credit to PTNNT. During the first nine months of 2002, Newmont funded $24.8 million under this contingent support facility as its pro-rata share for capital expenditures. Additional support from NTP’s partners available under this facility amounts to $115.0 million, of which Newmont’s pro-rata share is $64.7 million.

The Batu Hijau operation produces a metal concentrate, which contains payable copper and gold and minor values of payable silver. PTNNT has entered into long-term contracts for the sale of these metal concentrates with highly reputable refiners in Japan, Korea, Australia, China (“Non-European Refiners”) and Europe (“European Refiners”). In accordance with the contracts, title to the concentrates and the risk of loss are passed to the buyer when the concentrates are moved over the vessel’s rail at the Port (loading Port for Non-European Refiners and unloading Port for European Refiners). The contract terms provide that 90% of a provisional sales price, which is calculated in accordance with terms specified in the individual contracts based on an initial assay and weight certificate, is collected within three business days after the concentrates arrive at the smelter (“final delivery”). Factors entering into the calculation of the provisional sales price are (1) metals prices, pursuant to the terms of related contracts, calculated using quoted London Metals Exchange (“LME”) prices for the second calendar week prior to shipment and (2) treatment and refining charges. The balance of the sales price is received at final settlement and is based on final assays and weights, and final metal prices during the respective metal quotational periods. The quotational period for copper is the average LME price in the third month following the month of final delivery. The quotational period for gold and silver is the average LME price in the month of shipment. Final delivery to Non-European Refiners and European Refiners takes approximately 14 days and 30 days, respectively. The majority of the Batu Hijau concentrates are shipped to Non-European Refiners. Accordingly, the time between initial recording of revenue and final settlement averages approximately three and one-half months but could be as long as four months.
 
In accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), certain conditions must be met prior to recognizing revenue. These conditions are persuasive evidence of a contract exists; delivery has occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. In accordance with SAB 101, PTNNT recognizes metal sales revenues following: (1) the passage of title after the loading or unloading of the concentrates, (2) issuance of an initial assay and weight certificate, and (3) issuance of a provisional invoice. At this point in time, the sales price is determinable since it is based on defined contract terms, initial assays are available, and it can be reasonably estimated by reference to published price indices on actively and freely traded commodity exchanges. Additionally, there is no significant uncertainty as to collectability given that all of the refiners are of high-credit quality and that 90% of the provisional price is paid within 3 days of final delivery at the refiner.

16


 
Concentrate sales are initially recorded based on 100% of the provisional sales prices. Until final settlement occurs, adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account metal price changes, based upon the forward price for the estimated month of final settlement and metal quantities upon receipt of the final assay and weight certificates, if different from the initial certificate. The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price fluctuations between the date recorded and the date of final settlement. In addition, in the event of a significant decline in metal prices between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement-pricing period, it is reasonably possible that PTNNT would be required to return a portion of the sales proceeds received based on the provisional invoice. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, PTNNT had recorded revenues of $85 million and $71 million, respectively, which were subject to final pricing adjustments. The average price adjustment for copper was 2.8% and (3.9%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The average price adjustment for gold was 1.3% and (0.2%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
PTNNT’s sales based on a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative which is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the forward LME 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. At September 30, 2002, PTNNT had consolidated embedded copper derivatives on 129 million pounds recorded at an average price of $0.66 per pound. These derivatives are expected to be finally priced during the fourth quarter of 2002. A one-cent movement in the average price used for these derivatives will have an approximate $1.3 million impact on PTNNT’s 2002 net income.
 
PTNNT previously marked to market its provisional sales based on the month end spot prices. Effective January 1, 2002, PTNNT changed its methodology to mark to market its provisional sales based on the forward price for the estimated month of settlement. This change in methodology did not have a material effect on net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
 
Revenue from the sale of by-products is credited to costs applicable to sales in the determination of net income for each period presented. These by-product commodities, gold and silver, represented 56% and 51% of revenues and reduced production costs by 72% and 61% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 43% and 41% of revenues and reduced production costs by 57% and 49% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Gold and silver revenues, which are recorded as by-product credits, are significant to the economics of the Batu Hijau operations. At current copper prices, the Batu Hijau operation would not be profitable without these credits.
 
PTNNT does not acquire, hold or issue financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Financial instruments are used to manage certain market risks resulting from fluctuations in commodity prices (such as copper and diesel fuel) and foreign currency exchange rates. Copper is an internationally traded commodity, and its prices are effectively determined by the LME. On a limited basis, PTNNT hedges sales commitments by entering into copper swap contracts. These swap contracts are generally settled against the LME average monthly price in accordance with the terms of the contracts. Currently, PTNNT has put in place derivative instruments against the price of copper, Australian dollar and some of its diesel purchases. The derivative instruments on the Australian dollar relate to Australian denominated purchases.
 
Consistent with the contracts described above, PTNNT entered into a series of copper hedging transactions that were completed by September 30, 2002.
 
The outstanding Australian dollar contracts at September 30, 2002 in the amount of US$0.8 million (A$1.5 million) were settled in October 2002.
 
PTNNT entered into two diesel hedging contracts for 360,000 barrels each at a fixed price of US$27.39 per barrel and US$27.98 per barrel, respectively. Each of these contracts covers purchases of 15,000 barrels monthly

17


and will expire in August and September of 2003, respectively. Each contract is settled monthly. At September 30, 2002, 345,000 barrels are outstanding for these contracts.

Echo Bay Mines Ltd.
 
Newmont obtained a 48.8% interest in Echo Bay through its acquisition of Franco-Nevada in February 2002. Franco-Nevada purchased capital securities debt obligations of Echo Bay with face value of $72.4 million in June 2001. In January 2002, $4.6 million of these capital securities debt obligations were sold. Newmont acquired Franco-Nevada’s remaining holdings of Echo Bay’s capital securities debt obligations in connection with Newmont’s acquisition of Franco-Nevada. Subsequent to this acquisition, an agreement was reached with Echo Bay and the capital securities holders to exchange the capital securities debt obligations for common stock of Echo Bay. This exchange of capital securities debt obligations for common stock occurred on April 3, 2002 and resulted in Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation) owning 48.8% of Echo Bay which decreased to 45.3% at September 30, 2002 as a result of equity issuances by Echo Bay. From April 3, 2002, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited has accounted for its investment in Echo Bay under the equity method.
 
Newmont has agreed to support the proposed combination announced in June 2002 of Kinross Gold Corporation, TVX Gold Inc. and Echo Bay Mines Ltd. The proposed combination will include the exchange of Newmont’s 49.9% interest in TVX Newmont Americas for $180 million and the exchange of Newmont’s 48.8% interest in Echo Bay for an approximate interest of 14% in the new Kinross. The transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals by Kinross, TVX Gold Inc. and Echo Bay, and we expect it to close in the fourth quarter of 2002 or first quarter of 2003. We are currently evaluating the expected financial statement impact of the transaction.
 
Australian Magnesium Corporation
 
Newmont has a 22.8% voting interest in Australian Magnesium Corporation (“AMC”), which raised equity to support the development of a project involving a proprietary chemical and dehydration process for producing anhydrous magnesium chloride as feed for an electrolytic cell to produce molten magnesium metal and magnesium alloys. Newmont has an obligation to contribute to AMC A$100 million (approximately $54 million) in equity by January 31, 2003. Newmont is guarantor of AMC’s subsidiary, QMC Finance Pty. Limited’s (“QMC”), A$71 million (approximately $39 million) corporate facility. Newmont provided an A$90 million (approximately $49 million) contingency equity commitment in the event the project does not achieve certain specified production and operating criteria by December 2006, which commitment is being renegotiated to provide for an A$75 million convertible debt and equity facility. Newmont has also guaranteed a $30 million obligation payable by AMC to Ford Motor Company in the event the project does not meet certain specified production and operating criteria by November 2005.
 
A series of foreign exchange contracts have been entered into by QMC. All obligations related to these contracts have been guaranteed by Newmont Australia and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These

18


contracts are designed to convert the receipt of Euro dollars and US$ revenue from the sale of magnesium into A$ cash flows to cover A$ operating costs and the servicing of A$ denominated debt. The contracts include foreign exchange forward contracts and bought put options.

Scheduled minimum long-term debt repayments are $22 million for the remainder of 2002, $79 million in 2003, $166 million in 2004, $494 million in 2005, $95 million in 2006, $71 million in 2007 and $899 million thereafter.
 
In April 2002, Newmont repaid its $150 million 8.625% notes. In May 2002, Newmont repaid the $170.6 million outstanding under the A$490 million committed revolving multi-option facility, closed it, and increased the Newmont $600 million facility to $750 million, with the addition of a $150 million Australian bank tranche. In 1998, Newmont Australia issued guaranteed $100 million seven year notes at 7.5% interest and $150 million ten year notes at 7.625% interest. Interest is paid semi-annually. At September 30, 2002, Newmont Australia had $48 million of debt outstanding for project financing.
 
In March 2002, Newmont, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, made an offer to repurchase any and all of the outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2008 of Newmont Yandal Operations Limited (“Newmont Yandal”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont. As of the offer date, $300 million principal amount of notes was outstanding. The repurchase offer was made pursuant to the terms of an Indenture dated as of April 7, 1998, between Newmont Yandal and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Indenture requires that Newmont Yandal, following a “Change of Control” as defined in the Indenture, make an offer to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. Although the applicable provisions of the Indenture can be read to the contrary, Newmont took the position that a Change of Control occurred on February 20, 2002 when Newmont acquired control of Normandy. The

19


Indenture provides that Newmont Yandal is not required to make the Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the offer. Newmont’s offer, however, should not be construed as a commitment by Newmont to provide ongoing financial or credit support to Newmont Yandal. The Change of Control Offer was open until May 14, 2002 and resulted in redemption of $62.8 million of the outstanding notes.
 
In July 1999, Newmont entered into a prepaid forward sales contract (“Prepaid Forward”) under which it agreed to sell 483,333 ounces of gold to be delivered in June of each of 2005, 2006 and 2007 in annual installments of 161,111 ounces. The Prepaid Forward also included semi-annual delivery requirements of 17,951 ounces of gold, beginning June 2000 through June 2007 for a total delivery obligation over the life of the contract of 752,598 ounces. The Company received net proceeds from this transaction of $137.2 million ($145.0 million of gross proceeds before transaction costs of $653,000 and the purchase of a $7.1 million surety bond) that was recorded as deferred revenue, included in the long-term liabilities section of the balance sheet and was to be recognized into income incrementally when the 161,111 ounce annual gold deliveries were made in 2005, 2006 and 2007. At the time the Company entered into the Prepaid Forward, it also entered into a forward gold purchase contract (“Forward Purchase”), with the same counterparty, to hedge the price risk with respect to the Semi-Annual Delivery Requirements. The Forward Purchase provides for semi-annual purchases of 17,951 ounces of gold on each semi-annual delivery date under the Prepaid Forward at prices increasing from $263 per ounce in 2000 to $354 per ounce in 2007. On each semi-annual delivery date, the ounces purchased under the Forward Purchase were delivered in satisfaction of the Company’s delivery requirements under the Prepaid Forward. As discussed in Note 16, Newmont determined that the accounting treatment for this transaction required correction as the contract did not meet the technical criteria necessary to be accounted for in the manner reflected in the historical financial statements. To properly account for the transaction, the Company’s long-term debt was increased by $145.0 million as the Prepaid Forward and related Forward Purchase are treated under a financing accounting model and accounted for as a single borrowing of $145 million in July 1999, with interest accruing, based on an effective interest rate recognized over the full term of the borrowing. See Note 16 for a complete description of the accounting for the transaction and resulting restatement.
 
(7)    Sales Contracts, Commodity and Derivative Instruments
 
Newmont generally sells production at spot market prices. Newmont has, on a limited basis, entered into derivative contracts to protect the selling price for certain anticipated gold production and to manage risks associated with sales contracts, commodities, interest rates and foreign currency. In addition, at the time of acquisition, Normandy and its affiliates had a substantial derivative instrument position. Newmont is not required to place collateral with respect to commodity instruments and there are no margin calls associated with such contracts. Credit risk is minimized by dealing only with major financial institutions/counterparties.
 
Effective January 1, 2001, Newmont adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to recognize derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measurement at fair value. Unless specific hedging criteria are met, changes in the derivative’s fair value are recognized currently in earnings. Gains and losses on derivative hedging instruments are recorded in either other comprehensive income (loss) or current earnings (loss), depending on the nature of the instrument.
 
Gold Commodity Contracts
 
The tables below are expressed in thousands of ounces of gold, and prices for contracts denominated in A$ have been translated to US$ at the exchange rate at September 30, 2002 of US$0.54 per A$1. For all floating rate instruments, the average prices quoted are gross contractual prices. The net forward prices ultimately realized on floating gold hedging contracts are the sum of the gross contractual forward prices less any associated future financing costs arising from gold borrowing commitments related to such floating rate instruments. Floating put option valuations include a deferred premium cost which is payable in gold ounces upon expiration of the options.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, a net loss of $2.6 million was included in income for the ineffective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and a net loss of $11.7 million for

20


the change in fair value of gold commodity contracts that do not qualify as hedges (included in Gain (loss) on derivative instruments). The amount to be reclassified from Other comprehensive income (“OCI”) to income for derivative instruments during the next 12 months is a debit of approximately $0.4 million. The maximum period over which hedged forecasted transactions are expected to occur is 9.2 years.

Notes:    Fixed forward sales contracts provide for delivery of a specified number of ounces at a specified price and date and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Floating rate forward contracts provide for a gold lease rate component in the price that takes into account market lease rates over the term of the contract. Gold lease rates reflect the borrowing cost for gold. Floating rate forwards are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Synthetic forward contracts represent combinations of purchased put options and written call options at the same strike price, maturity date and number of ounces. The combination achieves the same risk management result as gold forward sales contracts.

Notes:    Convertible put option contracts and other instruments are composed of: a) Convertible option contracts that provide minimum price protection for covered ounces, while providing the opportunity to participate in higher market prices under certain market conditions, and are accounted for as cash flow hedges; b) Knock-out/knock-in option contracts are contingent sold call options that either terminate (or knock-out) and maintain upside gold price potential or convert (or knock-in) to sold call options, depending on certain market conditions, and are marked to market with the change reflected in income; and c) Indexed forward contracts that are potentially convertible to purchased put options, depending on the market gold price at set future value dates during the term of the contract, and are marked to market, with the change reflected in income.
 
Price-Capped Sales Contracts
 
In mid-1999, Newmont purchased near-term put option contracts for 2.85 million ounces of gold, with a strike price of $270 per ounce. These contracts expired between August 1999 and December 2000. This purchase was paid for by selling call option contracts for 2.35 million ounces at average strike prices ranging from $350 to $386 per ounce. The initial fair value of the put options of $37.6 million was amortized over the term of the

22


options. The call option contracts, with an initial fair value of $37.6 million, were marked to market at each reporting date. Non-cash gains of $0.9 million $1.8 million were recorded for the third quarter and first nine months of 2001, respectively.
 
In September 2001, Newmont entered into transactions that closed out these 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 $350 per ounce in 2005 to $392 per ounce in 2011. The fair value of the forward sales contracts of $53.8 million was recorded as deferred revenue and will be included in sales revenue as delivery occurs in 2005 through 2011. The forward sales contracts are accounted for as normal sales contracts under SFAS 133.

US$/Gold Swap Contracts
 
Newmont Australia entered into a US$/gold swap contract whereby principal payments on US$ bonds are swapped into gold-denominated payments of 600,000 ounces in 2008. We also receive US$ fixed interest payments and pay gold lease rates, which are indexed to market rates. This instrument is marked to market at each period end, with the change reflected in income, and at September 30, 2002 had a negative fair value of $66.3 million.
 
Offsetting Commodity Instruments
 
In December 2001, Newmont entered into a series of equal and offsetting positions with respect to commodity instruments for certain Battle Mountain operations that were outstanding at that time. These contracts effectively closed out the combination matched put and call options and flat forward contracts. The offsetting put and call option contracts were undesignated as cash flow hedges and were subsequently marked to market in earnings. The original forward sales contracts remained designated as normal sales contracts. The offsetting forward purchase contracts were undesignated as hedges and were marked to market through earnings prospectively. Subsequently, during the second quarter of 2002, the majority of these offsetting positions were contractually terminated and effectively closed out. The close out of the flat forward purchase contracts resulted in a $1.9 million realized gain included in Gain (loss) on derivative instruments on the Statements of Consolidated Operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. The remaining flat forward contracts had offsetting fair values, covered approximately 11,000 ounces and were closed out in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 with no impact to income.
 
Other Sales Contracts, Commodity and Derivative Instruments
 
Foreign Currency Contracts
 
Newmont acquired certain cross currency swap contracts in the Normandy transaction intended to hedge the currency risk on repayment of US$-denominated debt. These contracts were closed out during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 for net proceeds of $50.8 million. The contracts were accounted for on a mark-to-market basis until closed out.

23


Newmont also acquired currency swap contracts to receive A$ and pay US$ designated as hedges of A$-denominated debt. The A$-denominated debt was repaid during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and the contracts are currently undesignated. The contracts are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. At September 30, 2002, they had a negative fair value of $28.9 million.
 
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
 
In the Normandy transaction, Newmont acquired A$125 million of interest rate swap contracts covering a portion of its US$100 million, 7-year bonds. These contracts were closed out during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 for a net cash out-flow of $1 million. The contracts were accounted for on a mark-to-market basis until closed out.
 
During the last half of 2001, Newmont entered into contracts to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on a portion of its $275 million 8.625% notes and its $200 million 8.375% debentures. Newmont receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% and 8.375% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic LIBOR settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 4.25%. The notional principal amount of these transactions (representing the amount of principal tied to floating interest rate exposure) was $200 million at September 30, 2002. Half of these contracts expire in July 2005 and half expire in May 2011. These transactions resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the quarter and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, respectively. These transactions have been designated as fair value hedges and had a fair value of $10.6 million and ($0.6) million at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
 
Fuel Hedges
 
From time to time, Newmont has used certain derivative instruments to hedge a portion of its exposure to fuel price market fluctuations. Newmont had contracts covering approximately 1.8 million gallons of diesel fuel at its Nevada operations at prices ranging from approximately $0.61 to $0.69 per gallon. These transactions were designated as cash flow hedges and had a positive fair value of $1.3 million at December 31, 2001. These contracts expired during the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

(9)    Merger and Restructuring Expenses
 
In conjunction with the Newmont/Battle Mountain merger, expenses of $28.1 million were incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Total merger expenses of $35.0 million, of which $6.9 million were incurred in 2000, included $19.8 million for investment/professional advisory fees, $11.7 million for employee benefits and severance costs and $3.5 million for office closures and related disposals of redundant assets. Expenses associated with restructuring Newmont’s exploration program and a voluntary early retirement program were $32.4 million and included $22.1 million for retirement benefits and $10.3 million for employee severance and office closures. As of September 30, 2002, substantially all obligations associated with the merger have been paid.

(10)    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS Nos. 141 and 142, “Business Combinations” and “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” respectively. The adoption of these standards on January 1, 2002 did not impact Newmont’s historical financial statements or results of operations. As previously noted, the 2002 acquisitions of Normandy and Franco-Nevada were accounted for as purchases as prescribed by SFAS No.141 and $2.6 billion of the $4.4 billion purchase price represents goodwill, resulting from the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Such goodwill will not be amortized, but will be subject to impairment testing at least annually, as prescribed by SFAS No. 142. The purchase price allocations for Normandy and Franco-Nevada are preliminary and will be finalized following the completion of an independent appraisal expected to be available by the end of 2002.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” that established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. The statement will be adopted January 1, 2003, when Newmont will record the estimated present value of reclamation liabilities and increase the carrying amount of property, plant and mine development. Subsequently, reclamation costs will be allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and will be adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate. Newmont is in the process of quantifying the effect of adoption on January 1, 2003.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which established a single accounting model, based on the framework of SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The statement was effective January 1, 2002, and there was no impact upon adoption.
 
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” The statement nullified SFAS 4, SFAS 44 and SFAS 64 and established that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria of APB Opinion No. 30 “Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” The Statement also amends SFAS Statement No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes technical corrections to various other FASB statements. For the provisions of the statement relating to the extinguishment of debt, SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions relating to SFAS 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, and all other provisions are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. We do not anticipate any impact upon adoption.
 
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” which addressed financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. It nullified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan as was required under EITF No. 94-3. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, and we do not anticipate any impact upon adoption except with respect to those exit or disposal activities that are initiated by the Company after that date.

(11)    Stockholders’ Equity
 
Exchangeable Shares
 
In connection with the acquisition of Franco-Nevada, certain holders of Franco-Nevada common stock received 0.8 of an exchangeable share of Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (formerly Franco-Nevada) for each share of common stock held. These exchangeable shares are convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of Newmont common stock on a one-for-one basis, and entitle holders to dividend and other rights economically equivalent to holders of Newmont common stock. At September 30, 2002, the value of these shares was included in Additional paid-in capital.
 
Preferred Stock
 
In April 2002, Newmont announced the redemption of all issued and outstanding shares of its $3.25 convertible preferred stock as of May 15, 2002. Pursuant to the terms of the convertible preferred stock, Newmont paid a redemption price of $50.325 per share, plus $0.8125 per share for dividends that accrued on the convertible preferred stock at the redemption date. In settlement of the total redemption price of $51.1375 per preferred share, Newmont issued to holders of record 1.9187 shares of its common stock and cash for any remaining fractional interest. This redemption eliminated $7.5 million of annual preferred stock dividends prospectively.

(13)    Segment Information
 
Newmont predominantly operates in a single industry as a worldwide corporation engaged in gold production, exploration for gold and acquisition of gold properties. Newmont’s major operations are in North America, South America and Australia. Other international mining operations include small gold producing properties in New Zealand, Indonesia, Uzbekistan and Turkey. Newmont also has a base metal operations segment engaged in copper and zinc production, an exploration segment engaged in green fields exploration activities not associated with our existing operating and development properties and a merchant banking segment. Earnings from operations do not include general corporate expenses, interest (except project-specific interest) or income taxes (except for equity investments). In conjunction with the acquisitions described in Note 2, the Company has modified its reporting structure and related segment disclosure.

Newmont’s third quarter equity income for Batu Hijau was $13.5 million and $16.2 million for 2002 and 2001, respectively. For 2002, income was based on 56.25% of Batu Hijau’s income, adjusted for the elimination of $2.5 million of inter-company interest, $2.7 million of inter-company management fees, and amortization adjustments of ($0.1) million. For the comparable 2001 period, the income was $16.2 million based on 56.25% of Batu Hijau’s income, adjusted for the elimination of $5.2 million of inter-company interest, $2.8 million of inter-company management fees, and amortization adjustments of $1.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, equity income of Batu Hijau was $26.3 million based on 56.25% of Batu Hijau’s income, adjusted for the elimination of $6.1 million of inter-company interest, $7.8 million of inter-company management fees, and amortization adjustments of $3.4 million. For the comparable 2001 period, income was $20.7 million, based on 56.25% of Batu Hijau’s income, adjusted for the elimination of $22.6 million of inter-company interest, $8.5 million of inter-company management fees, and amortization adjustments of $3.8 million.
 
(14)    Contingencies
 
(a)  Reclamation Obligations
 
Newmont’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. Newmont conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Newmont has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, $200.0 million and $128.4 million, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently producing mineral properties.
 
In addition, Newmont 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. Newmont 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 Newmont’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $84.3 million and $57.3 million were accrued for such obligations at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. These amounts are included in Other accrued liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, Newmont believes that it is reasonably

31


possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 50% greater or 30% lower than the amount accrued. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are charged to Costs and expenses, Other in the period estimates are revised. Details about certain of the more significant sites involved are discussed below.
 
Idarado Mining Company (“Idarado”)—80.1% owned
 
In July 1992, Newmont and Idarado signed a consent decree with the State of Colorado (“State”) that was agreed to by the U.S. District Court of Colorado to settle a lawsuit brought by the State under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), generally referred to as the “Superfund Act.”
 
Idarado agreed in the consent decree to undertake specified remediation work at its former mining site in the Telluride/Ouray area of Colorado. Remediation work at this property is substantially complete. If the remediation does not achieve specific performance objectives defined in the consent decree, the State may require Idarado to implement supplemental activities at the site, also as defined in the consent decree. Idarado and Newmont have obtained a $5.8 million reclamation bond to secure their potential obligations under the consent decree. In addition, Idarado settled natural resources damages and past and future response costs, and agreed to habitat enhancement work, under the consent decree.
 
Resurrection Mining Company (“Resurrection”)—100% owned
 
Newmont, Resurrection and other defendants were named in lawsuits filed by the State of Colorado, under the Superfund Act in 1983, and subsequently consolidated with a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in 1986.
 
These proceedings sought to compel the defendants to remediate the impacts of pre-existing, historic mining activities near Leadville, Colorado which date back to the mid-1800’s, and which the government agencies claim are causing substantial environmental problems in the area.
 
In 1988 and 1989, the EPA issued administrative orders with respect to one area on the site and the defendants have collectively implemented those orders by constructing a water treatment plant, which was placed in operation in early 1992. Remaining remedial work for this area primarily consists of water treatment plant operation and continuing environmental monitoring and maintenance activities. Newmont and Resurrection are currently responsible for 50 percent of these costs; their share of such costs could increase in the event other defendants become unable to pay their share of such costs.
 
The parties also have entered into a consent decree with respect to the remaining areas at the site, which apportions liabilities and responsibilities for these areas. The EPA has approved remedial actions for selected components of Resurrection’s portion of the site, which were initiated in 1995. The EPA has not yet selected the final remedy for the site. Accordingly, Newmont cannot yet determine the full extent or cost of its share of the remedial action that will be required. The government agencies may also seek to recover for damages to natural resources. In March 1999, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to facilitate the settlement of natural resources damages claims under CERCLA for the upper Arkansas River Basin. The MOU provides a structure for evaluation of damages and possible restoration activities that may be required if it is concluded such damages have occurred.
 
Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”)—51% owned
 
Dawn previously leased an open-pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the EPA. Dawn also owns a nearby uranium millsite facility, located on private land, which is subject to federal and state regulation.

32


 
In 1991, Dawn’s mining lease at the mine was terminated. As a result, Dawn was required to file a formal mine closure and reclamation plan. The Department of Interior commenced an analysis of Dawn’s proposed plan and alternate closure and reclamation plans for the mine. Work on this analysis has been suspended indefinitely. In mid-2000, the mine was included on the National Priorities List under CERCLA, and the EPA has initiated a remedial investigation/feasibility study under CERCLA to determine environmental conditions and remediation options at the site. In addition, in August 2002, certain natural resource trustees notified Dawn and Newmont that they were commencing a natural resources damages assessment related to the site.
 
The EPA has asserted that Dawn and Newmont are liable for reclamation or remediation work and costs at the mine. Dawn does not have sufficient funds to pay for the reclamation plan it proposed or for any alternate plan, or for any additional remediation work or costs at the mine. Newmont will vigorously contest any claims as to its liability.
 
Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against Dawn or Newmont arising from this matter.
 
In late 1999, Dawn initiated state approval for a revised mill closure plan that, if implemented, would expedite the reclamation process at the mill. The State of Washington has approved this revised plan. The currently approved plan for the mill is secured by a $14.1 million bond, which is guaranteed by Newmont.
 
San Luis, Colorado—100% owned
 
The San Luis open-pit gold mine in southern Colorado was operated by a subsidiary of Battle Mountain and ceased operations in November 1996. Since then, substantial closure and reclamation work has been performed. In August 1999, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”) issued a notice of violation of the Water Quality Control Act and in October 1999 amended the notice to authorize operation of a water treatment facility and the discharge of treated water. Battle Mountain has made all submittals required by the CDPHE notice and conducted the required response activities. Battle Mountain negotiated a settlement with CDPHE resolving alleged violations that was effective September 1, 2000. In October 2000, the CDPHE received an “Application for Reconsideration of Order for Civil Penalty” filed by project opponents, seeking to appeal the terms of the settlement. The application was denied by CDPHE. Project opponents have filed a judicial appeal in the District Court for Costilla County, Colorado, naming the CDPHE as defendant. Battle Mountain has intervened in the appeal to protect its interests in the settlement. This litigation was recently decided in favor of CDPHE.
 
Newmont Mining Corporation
 
By letter dated September 3, 2002, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) notified the Company that the EPA had expended $2.6 million 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 the Company pay those costs. The EPA has identified four potentially responsible parties, including the Company. The Company 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.
 
(b) Other
 
Minera Yanacocha—51.35% owned
 
Choropampa
 
In June 2000, a transport contractor of Minera Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles southwest of the mine. Mercury is a byproduct of

33


gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instrumentation and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Minera Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Minera Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 soles (approximately $500,000) to the Peruvian government. Minera Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. In addition, it has entered into agreements with three of the communities impacted by this incident to provide a variety of public works as compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident.
 
On September 10, 2001, Minera Yanacocha, various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newmont, and other defendants were named in a lawsuit filed by over 900 Peruvian citizens in Denver District Court for the State of Colorado. This action seeks compensatory and punitive damages based on claims associated with the mercury spill incident. This action was dismissed by the Denver District Court on May 22, 2002, and this ruling was reaffirmed by the court on July 30, 2002. Plaintiffs’ attorneys have appealed this dismissal.
 
In July 2002, other lawsuits were served against Minera Yanacocha, various wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newmont, and other defendants in the Denver District Court for the State of Colorado and in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, by approximately 140 Peruvian plaintiffs and by the same plaintiffs who filed the September 2001 lawsuit. These actions also seek compensatory and punitive damages based on claims associated with the mercury spill incident.
 
Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Minera Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002, by over 750 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in this lawsuit previously have entered into settlement agreements with Minera Yanacocha.
 
Neither Newmont nor Minera Yanacocha can reasonably predict the final outcome of any of the above described lawsuits.
 
Cerro Quilish
 
The level of conflict between the central government and local governments throughout Peru over regulatory authority, privatization policy, entitlement to revenue streams, and other issues continues to be high. Minera Yanacocha is involved in a dispute with the Provincial Municipality of Cajamarca regarding the authority of that governmental body to regulate the development of the Company’s Cerro Quilish ore deposit (which contains reserves of 1.9 million equity ounces). Cerro Quilish is located in the same watershed in which the City of Cajamarca is located. The Municipality has enacted an ordinance declaring Cerro Quilish and its watershed to be a reserved and natural protected area. Minera Yanacocha has challenged this ordinance on the grounds that, under Peruvian law, local governments lack authority to create such areas. In May 2002, the Peruvian Constitutional Tribunal was fully empanelled in Lima to hear the case. The panel is expected to hear the case and to rule later this year or early next year.
 
Even if the Constitutional Tribunal determines that the municipal ordinance is valid, Peruvian law provides that pre-existing rights are to be respected. Minera Yanacocha acquired the mining concessions in the Cerro Quilish area many years before the adoption of the contested ordinance.
 
Minera Yanacocha is committed to completing a full environmental impact study prior to initiating any future development at Cerro Quilish, and will adopt mitigation measures necessary to protect the quality and quantity of the water supply of the City of Cajamarca. While the central government has the primary responsibility and the necessary technical expertise to regulate this matter, the company is also committed to working with the local government and other affected stakeholders in completing the required studies and designing and implementing any necessary mitigation measures.

Newmont Australia Limited—100% Owned
 
In a Federal Court action brought by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (“ASIC”) against Yandal Gold Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Newmont Australia Limited (“Newmont Australia”), Edensor Nominees Pty Ltd (“Edensor”), and others in relation to the 1999 acquisition of Great Central Mines (“GCM,” now named Newmont Yandal Operations Limited), the judge found violations of the Australian Corporations Law and ordered payment by Edensor to ASIC of A$28.5 million for distribution to former GCM shareholders. The judge also entered an order allowing the former shareholders to elect to reacquire their shares in GCM. After appeals to the Full Federal Court and the High Court on jurisdictional matters, the Full Federal Court rejected Edensor’s appeal on the merits and in September 2002 the High Court declined further review of the matter. Newmont Australia had previously agreed to pay one-half of the A$28.5 million and, after finalizing an additional commercial transaction with Edensor in relation to certain mining properties and interests, Newmont Australia paid the full A$28.5 million plus interest to ASIC in September 2002 all of which has been accounted for as part of the Normandy purchase price allocation. Newmont Australia has filed a motion with the Federal Court to remove that portion of its original order granting former GCM shareholders the right to reacquire their shares. ASIC has consented to the orders sought in this motion. A hearing is scheduled for February 2003.
 
In February 1999, Normandy (now Newmont Australia Limited) sold certain subsidiary companies in a transaction that resulted in net cash proceeds of $A663 million. The sale did not give rise to any tax liability to Newmont Australia Limited because of the tax basis that Newmont Australia Limited had in the shares in the subsidiaries and the capital losses available to Newmont Australia Limited to offset the net gain on the sale. This transaction is currently the subject of a review by the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) which commenced in early 2001 and is still ongoing. The ATO has sought documents from Newmont Australia Limited, the buyer of the subsidiaries and other parties. It is not yet known whether the ATO will disagree with the tax treatment of the transaction. Newmont Australia Limited believes that its tax treatment was in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws. The Company cannot reasonably predict what future action the ATO may take in relation to this matter.
 
(15)    Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
 
The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Information is presented to satisfy disclosure requirements of Rule 3-10(e) of Regulation S-X resulting from the inclusion of Newmont USA Limited (“Newmont USA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, as a co-registrant with Newmont Mining Corporation on a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed under the Securities Act of 1933 under which securities of Newmont Mining Corporation (including debt securities which may be guaranteed by Newmont USA) may be issued from time to time (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). This Shelf Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent which Newmont Mining Corporation issues debt securities under the Shelf Registration Statement, it is expected that Newmont USA will provide a guarantee of that debt. In accordance with Rule 3-10(e) of Regulation S-X, Newmont USA, as the subsidiary guarantor, is 100% owned by Newmont Mining Corporation, the guarantee will be full and unconditional, and it is not expected that any other subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation will guarantee any security issued under the Shelf Registration Statement. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of Newmont USA to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

(16)    Restatement of Financial Statements
 
Prepaid Forward Sales Contract
 
In October 2002, the Company determined that it needed to correct the accounting treatment for a prepaid forward gold sales contract (the “Prepaid Forward”) and a forward gold purchase contract (the “Forward Purchase”) entered into in July 1999. The Company concluded that these contracts did not meet the technical criteria to be accounted for in the manner reflected in the Company’s historical financial statements. As result, the Company will restate its financial statements beginning with the third quarter of 1999 through the second quarter of 2002.
 
Under the Prepaid Forward, the Company agreed to sell 483,333 ounces of gold, to be delivered in June of each of 2005, 2006 and 2007 in annual installments of 161,111 ounces (the “Annual Delivery Requirements”). The Company also agreed under the Prepaid Forward to deliver semi-annually 17,951 ounces of gold, beginning June 2000 through June 2007 (the “Semi-Annual Delivery Requirements”) for a total gold delivery obligation over the life of the Prepaid Forward of 752,598 ounces. At the time the Prepaid Forward was entered into, the Company received net proceeds of $137.2 million ($145.0 million of gross proceeds before transaction costs of $653,000 and the purchase of a $7.1 million surety bond to guarantee delivery of the Annual Delivery

43


Requirements). The Company may also be entitled to receive additional proceeds in the future in connection with the annual deliveries of 161,111 ounces, to be determined at each delivery date based on the excess, if any, of the then market price for gold (up to a maximum of $380 per ounce) over $300 per ounce.
 
At the time the Company entered into the Prepaid Forward, it also entered into the Forward Purchase, with the same counterparty, to hedge the price risk with respect to the Semi-Annual Delivery Requirements. The Forward Purchase provides for semi-annual purchases of 17,951 ounces of gold on each semi-annual delivery date under the Prepaid Forward at prices increasing from $263 per ounce in 2000 to $354 per ounce in 2007. On each semi-annual delivery date, the ounces purchased under the Forward Purchase were delivered in satisfaction of the Company’s delivery requirements under the Prepaid Forward.
 
The Company previously accounted for these transactions by recording the net $137.2 million that it received under the Prepaid Forward as deferred revenue under the long-term liabilities section of its balance sheet to be recognized incrementally as sales revenue when the 161,111 ounce annual gold deliveries were made in 2005, 2006 and 2007. On each semi-annual delivery date, the cost of purchasing the Semi-Annual Delivery Requirements under the Forward Purchase was deducted from sales revenue. No revenue, however, was recognized in respect of the Semi-Annual Delivery Requirements that were delivered under the Prepaid Forward. The Forward Purchase was accounted for as a cash flow hedge with mark-to-market changes in its fair value recorded through Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
 
As a result of this correction, the Company will account for the Prepaid Forward and the Forward Purchase as a single borrowing of $145.0 million in July 1999, with interest accrued, based on an effective interest rate recognized over the full term of the borrowing. The cost of the Semi-Annual Delivery Requirements under the Forward Purchase will be treated as interest payments. As the Annual Delivery Requirements are made under the Prepaid Forward, the Company will recognize a corresponding amount of sales revenue. Any additional proceeds received in connection with the Annual Delivery Requirements will be reflected as additional revenue at the time such proceeds are received. The surety bond costs of $7.1 million associated with the Annual Delivery Requirements have been deferred and will be amortized during 2005, 2006 and 2007.
 
As a result of this correction in accounting, the Company’s net earnings have been decreased by approximately $1.9 million or $0.01 per share and $2.5 million or $0.01 per share for three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The Company’s retained deficit as of December 31, 2001 was increased by $6.0 million. The correction increased the first quarter 2002 net loss by $1.9 million or $0.01 per share and increased second quarter 2002 net income by $1.4 million or less than $0.01 per share.
 
In addition, the Company’s long-term debt increased by $145.0 million ($137.2 million plus unamortized transaction and surety bond costs) at September 30 and December 31, 2001, respectively, as a result of this correction.
 
Investment in Batu Hijau
 
In November 2002, the Company determined that the Batu Hijau mine had incorrectly included non-reserve material in its depreciation calculations. As result, the Company will restate its financial statements beginning with the fourth quarter of 1999 through the second quarter of 2002.
 
The Company accounts for its 45% indirect interest in the Batu Hijau mine, which commenced production in late 1999, using the equity method. In accordance with the mine’s operating and financing agreements, the Company recognizes 56.25% of the Batu Hijau mine’s net income until it has recouped the bulk of its construction investment. The Batu Hijau mine had been including a certain amount of non-reserve material in its depreciation calculations. This material is located within the current economic pit design and is included in the Batu Hijau operation’s mining plans. However, due to a lack of drilling density in the areas of the pit where this material is located, this material does not currently meet the criteria to be classified as proven and probable reserves. Batu Hijau has recalculated depreciation charges excluding this non-reserve material.

44


 
As a result of this correction in accounting, the Company’s net earnings have been decreased by approximately $0.7 million or less than $0.01 per share and $2.5 million or $0.01 per share for three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The Company’s retained deficit as of December 31, 2001 was increased by $7.3 million. The correction increased the first quarter 2002 net loss by $0.3 million or less than $0.01 per share and decreased second quarter 2002 net income by $0.5 million or less than $0.01 per share.
 
Depreciation Rates
 
In November 2002, the Company determined that it had incorrectly recorded depreciation on certain mining assets at its Yanacocha operations in Peru. The Company will restate its financial statements beginning with the first quarter of 1999 through the second quarter of 2002. As a result of this correction in accounting, the Company’s net earnings have been decreased by approximately $0.2 million which is less than $0.01 per share and $1.2 million or $0.01 per share for three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The Company’s retained deficit as of December 31, 2001 was decreased by $0.3 million. The correction increased the first quarter 2002 net loss by $17 thousand or less than $0.01 per share and decreased second quarter 2002 net income by $0.6 million or less than $0.01 per share.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in previously reported financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

(17)    Surety Bonds, Letters of Credit and Corporate Guarantees
 
In conjunction with a prepaid forward sales transaction entered into in July 1999, Newmont obtained for the benefit of the counterparty, a $145.0 million surety bond supporting its commitment to deliver contracted production in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Company and/or wholly-owned subsidiaries also provide guarantees for certain other financial transactions, including a guarantee for a $39 million corporate facility of QMC Finance Pty. Limited, a subsidiary of Australian Magnesium Corporation (AMC); a guarantee of AMC foreign exchange contracts with a mark-to-market exposure of $8.5 million at September 30; and a guarantee of $19 million in payments due under an operating lease for mining equipment at the Kalgoorlie Mine in Australia.
 
As part of its ongoing business and operations, Newmont and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and corporate guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2002 in addition to the sureties and guarantees provided as support for the financial transactions noted above, the Company also had outstanding $173 million in surety bonds and bank letters of credit and $194 million in corporate guarantees. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally

50


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 and reclamation are becoming more restrictive. In addition, the surety markets for certain types of environmental bonding used by Newmont have become increasingly constrained. Newmont, however, believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements, through existing or alternative means, as they arise.
 
(18)    Supplementary Data
 
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 2.8 and 2.7, respectively. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents income before income taxes and interest expense divided by interest expense. Interest expense includes amortization of capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense representative of interest. Newmont guarantees certain third party debt; however, it has not been and does not expect to be required to pay any amounts associated with such debt. Therefore, related interest on such debt has not been included in the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.

ITEM 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
The following provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”). The discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as the same may be amended. References to “A$” refers to Australian currency, and “$” or “US$”, to United States currency.
 
Restatements and Accounting Changes
 
Newmont has determined that certain adjustments are required to restate the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and at December 31, 2001. Overall the adjustments reduced net income in the third quarter of 2001 by $2.8 million, or $0.01 per share, and increased the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 by $6.1 million, or $0.03 per share. The adjustments also increased the retained deficit of the Company at December 31, 2001 by $ 13.0 million. These adjustments were necessary (i) to account for a prepaid forward sales contract and a forward purchase contract as a single borrowing; (ii) to correct depreciation rates on certain mining assets at the Company’s subsidiary, Minera Yanacocha; and, (iii) to record the impact in the Company’s investment in Batu Hijau, accounted for under the equity method, for incorrectly including non-reserve material in its depreciation calculations. See Note 16 for a detailed description of the effects of this restatement.
 
Newmont will also restate the Financial Statements contained in its previously filed Amendment No. 1 to the March 31, 2002 Form 10-Q/A, the June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q and the December 31, 2001 Form 10-K to reflect the restatement adjustments discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements. Numbers included in this Quarterly Report have been restated to reflect the necessary adjustments described above. All December 31, 2001 comparative financial information contained in this Form 10-Q is considered unaudited until such amendments are filed in the fourth quarter of 2002.
 
During the third quarter, Newmont also changed its accounting policy, retroactive to January 1, 2002, with respect to depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of Property, Plant and Equipment to exclude future estimated development costs expected to be incurred for certain underground operations. Previously, the Company had included these costs and associated reserves in its DD&A calculations at certain of its underground mining operations. In addition, the Company further revised its policy such that costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are depreciated, depleted or amortized over the reserves associated with the specific ore area. These changes were made to better match DD&A with the associated ounces of gold sold and to remove the inherent uncertainty in estimating future development costs in arriving at DD&A rates. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle through December 31, 2001 increased net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 by $7.7 million, net of tax of $4.1 million and increased net income per basic and fully diluted common share by $0.02 per share. This change also increased net income and net income per share by $0.3 million and less than $0.01 and $2.9 million and less than $0.01 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively.
 
Restructuring
 
On February 13, 2002, Newmont stockholders approved adoption of an Agreement and Plan of Merger that provided for a restructuring of Newmont to facilitate the February 2002 acquisitions described below and to create a flexible corporate structure. Newmont merged with an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary that resulted in Newmont (or “Old Newmont”) becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of a new holding company. The new holding company, previously a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Newmont, was renamed Newmont Mining Corporation. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements of Newmont as a result of this restructuring and former stockholders of Old Newmont became stockholders of the new holding company.
 
Acquisitions
 
In November 2001, Newmont announced proposed acquisitions of Normandy Mining Limited (“Normandy”), an Australian company, and Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation Limited (“Franco-Nevada”), a

52


Canadian company. On February 16, 2002, Newmont completed the acquisition of Franco-Nevada pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement. On February 20, 2002, Newmont gained control of Normandy through an off-market bid for all of the ordinary shares in the capital of Normandy. For accounting purposes, the effective date of the Normandy acquisition was the close of business on February 15, 2002, when Newmont received binding tenders for more than 50% of the shares of Normandy. Accordingly, the results of operations of Normandy and Franco-Nevada have been included in the accompanying financial statements from February 16, 2002 forward. On February 26, 2002, when the off-market bid for Normandy expired, Newmont had a relevant interest in more than 96% of Normandy’s outstanding shares. Newmont exercised its compulsory acquisition rights under Australian law to acquire the remaining shares of Normandy in April 2002.
 
Consideration paid for Normandy included 3.85 shares of Newmont common stock for every 100 ordinary shares of Normandy (including ordinary shares represented by American depositary receipts) plus A$0.50 per Normandy share, or the U.S. dollar equivalent of that amount for Normandy stockholders outside Australia. Pursuant to a Canadian Plan of Arrangement, Newmont acquired Franco-Nevada in a stock-for-stock transaction in which Franco-Nevada common stockholders received 0.8 of a share of Newmont common stock or 0.8 of a Canadian exchangeable share (exchangeable for Newmont common stock), for each common share of Franco-Nevada. The exchangeable shares are substantially equivalent to Newmont common stock. The purchase price for these acquisitions totaled $4.4 billion, comprised of 197.4 million Newmont common stock (or share equivalents), $462.1 million in cash and approximately $90 million of direct costs. The value of Newmont common stock (or share equivalents) was $19.01 per share based on the average market price of the shares over the two-day period before and after January 2, 2002, the last trading day before the final and revised terms for the acquisitions were announced.
 
The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method whereby assets and liabilities were recorded at fair market value as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over such fair value was recorded as goodwill. As described in Note (2), we have allocated the purchase price to assets and liabilities on a preliminary basis and expect to finalize the allocation following completion of an independent appraisal process by the end of 2002. Goodwill of $2.6 billion will not be amortized and is subject to a determination of fair value at least annually and at such times as events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The amount recorded as goodwill will change when the Company finalizes its purchase price allocation.
 
We anticipate synergies from our business combination with Normandy and Franco-Nevada to exceed $75 million annually starting in 2003. Such synergies will be obtained from the rationalization of corporate overhead and exploration and development budgets as well as operating efficiencies and costs reductions associated with procurement, interest and tax benefits.
 
Following the February 2002 acquisitions, Normandy was renamed Newmont Australia Limited (“Newmont Australia”) and Franco-Nevada was renamed Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited. Old Newmont was renamed Newmont USA Limited.
 
SUMMARY
 
Newmont recorded net income applicable to common shares of $24.0 million ($0.06 per share) in the third quarter of 2002 compared with net income of $18.8 million ($0.10 per share) in the third quarter of 2001. Contributing to net income in the third quarter of 2002 was increased operating income from higher gold prices, partially offset by increased production costs. Net income also included $13.5 million in equity income from the Batu Hijau copper-gold mine, and a non-cash mark-to-market loss on derivative instruments of $11.2 million. The net loss in the third quarter of 2001 included equity income from Batu Hijau of $16.2 million and a non-cash mark-to-market gain on derivative instruments of $0.9 million. For the first three quarters of 2002, net income applicable to common shares was $86.8 million ($0.24 per share), compared with a net loss of $57.2 million ($0.29 per share) for the first half of 2001.

For the full year 2002 and based on our current asset base portfolio, we forecast equity gold sales at 7.5 million ounces at a total cash cost of approximately $185 per ounce. We project net income to common shares of between $0.40 and $0.45 per share excluding any non-cash mark-to-market gains or losses on derivative instruments.
 
During the last quarter of 2002, we expect to produce 2.1 million equity ounces of gold at cash costs of about $170 per ounce as our mine plans indicate higher grade ore in Nevada, Peru and Australia.
 
The preliminary 2003 forecast includes sales of 7.0 million to 7.2 million equity ounces of gold, assuming the sale/exchange of TVX Newmont Americas/Echo Bay at total cash costs between $180 and $192 per ounce.
 
Market Conditions and Risks
 
Metal Price
 
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect Newmont’s profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors, such as: demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; and, global mine production levels. The gold price fell to a 20-year low of $253 in July 1999, recovered moderately throughout 2001 and has increased in 2002 to over $300 per ounce. Changes in the market price of copper also affect Newmont’s profitability and cash flow from its investment in the Batu Hijau mine in Indonesia and its Golden Grove mine in Australia.
 
Newmont generally sells its production at market prices. Newmont has, on a limited basis, entered into derivative contracts to protect the selling price for certain anticipated gold production and to manage risks associated with sales contracts, commodities, interest rates and foreign currency. In addition, at the time of the acquisition, Normandy and its affiliates had a substantial derivative instrument position comprised of the Newmont Gold Treasury hedge book, the Newmont NFM hedge book and the Newmont Yandal Operations Limited hedge book. Following the Normandy acquisition, however, and in accordance with the Company’s non-gold-hedging philosophy, efforts to proactively reduce and simplify the Normandy hedge positions have been undertaken. Accordingly, the Normandy gold hedge books have been reduced by over 2.4 million ounces since February 2002 and by 928,000 ounces during the quarter. Gold forward sales contracts and other instruments (“committed”) hedging obligations were reduced by 748,000 ounces during the quarter by delivering 478,000 ounces into committed contracts while simultaneously unwinding 270,000 ounces of committed hedging. Similarly, uncommitted contracts for 180,000 ounces were either delivered into or closed out. Combining the 478,000 committed ounces delivered, the 270,000 committed ounces closed out and the 180,000 uncommitted ounces eliminated through the end of the third quarter, the Normandy gold hedge books were reduced to 5.8 million committed ounces and 1.7 million uncommitted ounces for a total of 7.5 million ounces. The mark-to-

54


market valuation of the Normandy gold hedge books at the end of the third quarter, however, grew to a negative $422 million broken down as follows: Newmont Gold Treasury $(114) million; Newmont NFM $(26) million; and, Newmont Yandal Operations Limited $(282) million.
 
The following table shows the approximate sensitivities of the US$ mark-to-market value of the Normandy gold hedge books to certain market variables as of September 30, 2002:

For the balance of 2002, Newmont expects a further reduction of committed ounces by 279,000 ounces at an average gross gold price of approximately $302 per ounce (assuming a US$0.54 to A$1 exchange rate). The Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to accelerate delivery into or close out the Normandy hedge books under the appropriate market conditions.
 
Newmont also accelerated the timing of delivery of certain derivative positions during the third quarter of 2002. The Company expects deliveries or expiry of committed and uncommitted positions for the remainder of 2002 will total 384,000 Ounces.
 
Newmont had the following gold commodity contracts outstanding at September 30, 2002 (unaudited):
 
The tables below are expressed in thousands of ounces of gold, and prices for contracts denominated in A$ have been translated to US$ at the exchange rate at September 30, 2002 of US$ 0.54 per A$1. For all floating rate instruments, the average prices quoted are gross contractual prices. The net forward prices ultimately realized on floating gold hedging contracts are the sum of the gross contractual forward prices less any associated future financing costs arising from gold borrowing commitments related to such floating rate instruments.

Notes:    Fixed forward sales contracts provide for delivery of a specified number of ounces at a specified price and date and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Floating rate forward contracts provide for a gold lease rate component in the price that takes into account market lease rates over the term of the contract. Gold lease rates reflect the borrowing cost for gold. Floating rate forward contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Synthetic forward contracts represent combinations of purchased put options and written call options at the same strike price, maturity date and number of ounces. The combination achieves the same risk management result as gold forward sales contracts.

US$/Gold Swap Contracts
 
Newmont Australia entered into a US$/gold swap contract whereby principal payments on US$ bonds are swapped into gold-denominated payments of 600,000 ounces in 2008. Newmont Australia also receives US$ fixed interest payments and pays gold lease rates, which are indexed to spot prices. This instrument is marked to market at the end of each period, with the change reflected in income, and at September 30, 2002, the fair value was a negative $66.3 million.

Foreign Currency
 
In addition to the U.S., Newmont conducts gold operations in Australia, New Zealand, Peru, Indonesia, Canada, Uzbekistan, Bolivia and Turkey. Gold produced at these operations is sold in the international markets for U.S. dollars, except for gold produced in Australia and New Zealand that is primarily sold in local currencies. The cost and debt structures of most operations are also primarily U.S. dollar denominated, except for Canadian operations where such structures are primarily denominated in the local currency. To the extent that there are fluctuations in local currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, the devaluation of a local currency is generally economically neutral or beneficial to most operations since local salaries and supply contracts will decrease against the U.S. dollar revenue stream. The appreciation of non-U.S. dollar currencies against the U.S. dollar can increase the costs of gold production in U.S. dollar terms at mines located outside the United States, making such mines less profitable. Foreign currency exchange rate gains (losses) were $2.4 million and $(4.5) million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $2.4 million and $(5.3) million in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations, including the Australian operations, is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. All assets and liabilities recorded in functional currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at current exchange rates. The resulting adjustments are charged or credited directly to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses in foreign currency are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. All realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses are included in income in Dividends, interest, foreign currency exchange and other income.
 
At September 30, 2002, Newmont had the following foreign currency contracts outstanding. Prices for contracts denominated in A$ have been translated at the exchange rate at September 30, 2002 of US$0.54 per A$1.

Newmont acquired currency swap contracts as part of the Normandy acquisition under which Newmont is to receive A$ and pay US$-denominated debt. The A$-denominated debt to which these contracts originally applied was repaid during the second quarter of 2002, and the contracts are currently undesignated. The contracts are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. On September 30, 2002, they had a negative fair value of $28.9 million.
 
Newmont also acquired certain other currency swap contracts as part of the Normandy acquisition intended to hedge the currency risk on repayment of US$-denominated debt. These contracts were closed out during the second quarter for net proceeds of $50.8 million. The contracts were accounted for on a mark-to-market basis until closed out.
 
At March 31, 2002, Newmont Australia had a revolving line of credit denominated in A$ with a balance of approximately A$320 million (US$170.6 million). This line of credit was completely paid down during the second quarter of 2002, so there was no outstanding balance at September 30, 2002.
 
Interest Rate Swaps
 
In the Normandy acquisition, Newmont acquired A$125 million of interest rate swap contracts covering a portion of Newmont Australia’s US$100 million, 7-year bonds. These contracts were closed out during the

57


second quarter of this year for a net cash out-flow of $1 million. The contracts were accounted for on a mark-to-market basis until closed out.
 
During the last half of 2001, Newmont entered into contracts to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on a portion of its $275 million 8.625% notes and its $200 million 8.375% debentures. Newmont receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.625% or 8.375% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic LIBOR settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 4.25%. The notional principal amount of these transactions (representing the amount of principal tied to floating interest rate exposure) was $200 million at September 30, 2002. Half of these contracts expire in July 2005 and half expire in May 2011. These transactions resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 and the first nine months of 2002, respectively. These transactions have been designated as fair value hedges and had a fair value of $10.6 million at September 30, 2002.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of Newmont’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical accounting principles upon which Newmont’s financial status depends are those requiring estimates of proven and probable reserves, recoverable ounces therefrom, Newmont’s ability to renew the mining leases upon which certain of those reserves are located, and/or assumptions of future gold prices. Such estimates and assumptions affect the value of inventories (which are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value), the potential impairment of long-lived assets and the ability to realize income tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions also affect the rate at which depreciation and amortization are charged to earnings. As noted above, commodity prices significantly affect Newmont’s profitability and cash flow. In addition, management estimates costs associated with reclamation of mining properties as well as remediation costs for inactive properties. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual amounts could differ from those based on such estimates and assumptions.

For all periods presented, total cash costs include charges for mining ore and waste associated with current period gold production, processing ore through milling and leaching facilities, by-product credits, production taxes, royalties and other cash costs. Batu Hijau costs are reported per pound of copper, with gold revenue as an offsetting by-product credit and are excluded from cost per ounce calculations. Certain gold mines produce silver as a by-product. Proceeds from the sale of by-products are reflected as credits to total cash costs. All of these charges and by-product credits are included in Costs applicable to sales. Charges for reclamation are also included in Costs applicable to sales, but are not included in total cash costs. Reclamation charges are included in total production costs, together with total cash costs and Depreciation, depletion and amortization. A reconciliation of total cash

costs to Costs applicable to sales in total and by segment is provided below. Total production costs provide an indication of earnings before interest expense and taxes for Newmont’s share of gold mining properties, when taking into account the average realized price received for gold sold, as this measure combines Costs applicable to sales plus Depreciation, depletion and amortization, net of minority interest.
 
Total cash costs is intended to provide investors with information about cash generating capacities of these mining operations. Newmont’s management uses this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring the performance of its gold mining operations. This information differs from earnings determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. This measure was developed in conjunction with gold mining companies associated with the Gold Institute in an effort to provide a level of comparability; however, Newmont’s measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

North America
 
Newmont’s Nevada operations are along the Carlin Trend near Elko and in the Winnemucca Region, where the Twin Creeks mine, the Lone Tree Complex and the acquired Midas mine (February 2002) are located.
 
Gold sales in the third quarter of 2002 of 722,000 ounces (including 87,300 ounces from Midas) increased 10.4% from the comparable 2001 period as a result of 14% higher grade refractory ore and 16% more tons moved from underground operations. Total cash costs for the third quarter of 2002 were $225 per ounce compared with $238 per ounce in the same 2001 period, primarily reflecting higher mill tons processed in 2002. Gold sales during the first nine months of 2002 were 1,927,100 ounces (including 147,100 ounces from Midas) at a total cash cost of $235 per ounce compared to gold sales of 1,986,600 ounces during the first nine months of 2001 at a total cash cost of $ 223 per ounce. Gold sales in 2002 reflect lower tons placed on the leach pads, lower recoveries from the oxide mills and a temporary build-up of in-process inventory at the Midas underground mine and at Twin Creeks.
 
We expect Nevada’s gold sales in 2002 to total approximately 2.67 million ounces with total cash costs around $222 per ounce. We have identified approximately $6 million of annual savings from administration, procurement and processing from the integration of the acquired Midas mine into the Nevada operations.

Gold sales at the Mesquite heap leach mine in southern California totaled 16,300 ounces during the third quarter of 2002, compared to 16,500 ounces in the third quarter of 2001. Total cash costs increased 14% from $188 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001 to $214 per ounce in 2002. Gold sales at Mesquite during the first nine months of 2002 were 44,200 ounces at total cash costs of $180 per ounce, a reduction of 36,000 ounces sold and $28 per ounce in total cash costs from the comparable period in 2001. These reductions reflect the full impact of the cessation of mining activities and the depletion of the ore body in 2001. We expect gold sales in 2002 to total approximately 50,000 ounces with total cash costs about $170 per ounce. Final gold production from continued declining recovery of gold from heap leach pads is expected in 2004.
 
La Herradura, a 44%-owned non-operated joint venture in Mexico, sold 17,600 and 48,500 equity ounces at total cash costs of $169 and $177 per ounce in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2001, La Herradura sold 14,000 and 40,800 equity ounces at cash costs of $179 and $168 per ounce, respectively. We expect equity gold sales for 2002 at approximately 65,000 equity ounces and cash costs of about $175 per ounce.
 
Gold sales from the Golden Giant and the 84.65%-owned Holloway underground mines in Ontario, Canada were 60,400 and 20,000 equity ounces with total cash costs of $217 and $161 per ounce, respectively, in the third quarter of 2002. Golden Giant sold 17% less ounces at $15 per ounce higher cash costs compared to the third quarter of 2001 reflecting lower production, lower grade ore and lower recoveries. Holloway improved its cash cost per ounce from the third quarter of 2001 by $55 resulting from improved mill recoveries compared to the third quarter of 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, gold sales were 201,200 and 71,000 equity ounces at total cash costs of $196 and $192 per ounce for Golden Giant and Holloway, respectively, compared to gold sales of 196,200 and 64,400 equity ounces at total cash costs of $190 and $224 per ounce, respectively, in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in total cash costs at Holloway primarily reflects improved ore grade in 2002. We expect gold sales for 2002 to total approximately 300,000 and 95,000 equity ounces at Golden Giant and Holloway, respectively, with cash costs of about $184 and $200 per ounce for each operation, respectively.
 
South America
 
Sales at Minera Yanacocha in Peru increased 25% in the third quarter of 2002 to 329,600 equity ounces from 264,000 equity ounces in the same period of 2001, reflecting more tons placed on the leach pads. Total cash costs increased to $117 per ounce from $114 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001, primarily reflecting 23% lower grade ore and more production coming from the higher cost La Quinua operation that requires crushing and agglomeration unlike other Minera Yanacocha ore bodies, offset by economics of scale resulting from the higher production levels. The commissioning of the La Quinua crushing and agglomeration facility is now complete, and the facility is running at design rate. For the first nine months of 2002, equity gold sales were 823,100 ounces at total cash costs of $130 per ounce, compared to 719,500 ounces at $115 per ounce in the first nine months of 2001. We expect higher production and lower cash costs for the last quarter of 2002 from higher grade ores and lower waste-to-ore ratios. As a result, we expect gold sales for 2002 to be about 1.2 million equity ounces at total cash costs of about $123 per ounce.
 
At the 88%-owned Kori Kollo open-pit mine in Bolivia, gold sales totaled 64,900 equity ounces in the third quarter of 2002 at total cash costs of $152 per ounce. Gold sales for the comparable period in 2001 were 76,900 ounces at total cash costs of $127 per ounce. Lower sales and higher cash costs in 2002 compared to 2001 resulted from processing lower grade ores through the mill. Gold sales and total cash costs were 191,900 equity ounces at $154 per ounce, respectively, in the first nine months of 2002, compared to 201,100 equity ounces at $164 per ounce in the first nine months of 2001. Leach production in 2002 has increased compared to 2001 after the commencement of leach processing in June 2001. Mill production decreased in 2002 compared to 2001 due to lower grade ores. For 2002, we expect total sales of approximately 250,000 equity ounces with total cash costs of about $155 per ounce.

Australia
 
Information related to Australian operations for the first nine months of 2002 reflects activity from February 16, 2002 through September 30, 2002, with the exception of Pajingo, which was 50% owned by Newmont prior to the acquisition of Normandy.
 
For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, equity gold sales at the 50%-owned Kalgoorlie mine in Western Australia, totaled 94,600 ounces at total cash costs of $224 per ounce. Good mill throughput rates were sustained for the third quarter of 2002 partially offset by lower recoveries from lower grade ore. Kalgoorlie’s equity gold sales for the first nine months of 2002 totaled 221,100 ounces at total cash costs of $220 per ounce. We expect production to improve in the last quarter of 2002 at the Super Pit, which provides more than 90% of Kalgoorlie’s production. A joint venture committee is evaluating operating initiatives to improve Kalgoorlie’s cost structure. We expect gold sales for 2002 to total approximately 330,000 equity ounces at cash costs of about $228 per ounce.
 
At the Yandal operations, which consist of the Bronzewing, Jundee and Wiluna mines in Western Australia, gold sales for the third quarter of 2002 were 170,100 ounces at total cash costs of $231 per ounce. Cash costs were $220 per ounce for the first nine months of 2002 on sales of 423,800 ounces. During the quarter, Bronzewing production was adversely impacted by a change in stope sequencing which resulted in lower grade stopes being accessed in the third quarter, in addition to a number of one-off costs incurred in the transition to owner mining. At Jundee, open pit mining concluded in July 2002 and the transition to underground production was completed in the third quarter of 2002. Lower than modeled stockpile grades were encountered and unbudgeted costs were incurred in the completion of open pit mining. Wiluna suffered from a delay in the start up of the BIOX tailings treatment. An agreement for the sale of Wiluna was signed during the quarter. The sale has conditions precedent which include among other things, the successful resolution (i.e. discharge) of the Yandal ASIC litigation and Credit Suisse First Boston waving any breach or default from the transaction under the derivatives ISDA agreement. The timing of resolution of these items is uncertain. We expect gold sales for 2002 for Yandal operations to total approximately 570,000 ounces at cash costs of about $205 per ounce.
 
Newmont controls a significant land position through its control of Newmont NFM and Otter Mines in the highly prospective Tanami gold district. For the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Tanami operations in the Northern Territory (approximately an 85.9% interest) sold 133,400 and 318,100 equity ounces at total cash costs of $206 and $202 per ounce, respectively. Mill throughput for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from the Granites and Tanami mills was favorable at a total of 1.1 million tons. The Granites Mill increased throughput by using a finer crushed mill feed. Production was primarily from the new Groundrush open-pit mine, which commenced production in November 2001, and the Callie underground mine. For the year 2002, we expect Tanami operations to sell approximately 430,000 equity ounces of gold at total cash costs of approximately $205 per ounce.
 
At the Pajingo mine in North Queensland, gold sales for the third quarter of 2002 were 77,200 ounces at total cash costs of $98 per ounce, compared to 29,600 ounces and total cash costs of $128 per ounce in the same quarter of 2001. Total cash costs declined in the third quarter of 2002 reflecting increased mill throughput due to modifications in the crushing circuit. Equity gold sales were 208,600 ounces for the first nine months of 2002 at total cash costs of $91 per ounce, compared to 2001 sales and total cash costs of 90,900 ounces and $108 per ounce, respectively. In 2001, Pajingo was only 50% owned by Newmont. It became wholly-owned in February 2002 as a result of the Normandy acquisition. Development of the Vera South Deeps and Jandam ore bodies continues. For the year 2002, we estimate gold sales will total approximately 290,000 ounces with cash costs of about $90 per ounce.
 
Other Mining Operations
 
Information related to Martha, Ovacik, Golden Grove, and TVX Newmont Americas for the first nine months of 2002 reflects activity from February 16, 2002 through September 30, 2002. Information related to

66


Echo Bay for the first nine months of 2002 reflects activity from April 3, 2002 through September 30, 2002. Information for all other properties reflects activity from January 1, 2002 through September 30, 2002.
 
At the Minahasa mine, in Indonesia, Newmont has an 80% interest but receives a greater percent of the gold production until recouping the bulk of its investment including interest. Prior to November 2001, Newmont received 100% of Minahasa’s gold production and has subsequently received 94%, as Newmont recouped some of its investment through the collection of funds in accordance with existing loan agreements. For third quarter of 2002, sales decreased to 28,300 equity ounces with total cash costs of $259 per ounce, compared with 78,400 equity ounces and cash costs of $159 per ounce in the third quarter of 2001. Sales for the first nine months of 2002 decreased to 114,100 equity ounces with total cash costs of $206 per ounce from 275,400 ounces and cash costs of $133 per ounce in the first nine months of 2001. The lower production and higher cash costs in 2002 resulted from processing lower grade ore. Mining activities ceased late in 2001; however, it is expected that ore processing will continue until 2003. We expect gold sales in 2002 of approximately 140,000 equity ounces, with total cash costs of about $215 per ounce.
 
Newmont has a 50% investment in Zarafshan-Newmont in the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan. Ownership of the remaining 50% investment is divided between the State Committee for Geology and Mineral Resources and Navoi Mining and Metallurgic Combine, each a state entity of Uzbekistan. In the third quarter of 2002, equity gold sales from Zarafshan-Newmont were 70,300 ounces, 13% above equity sales in the same 2001 period. Zarafshan benefited from a 31% higher grade ore placed on the leach pads in 2002. Total cash costs per ounce of $122 in the third quarter of 2002 period compared with $129 in the same 2001 period. For the first nine months of 2002, equity sales were 194,000 ounces at $135 per ounce cash costs, while equity sales were 162,600 ounces at cash costs of $136 per ounce in the first nine months of 2001. We expect gold sales in 2002 to total approximately 250,000 equity ounces with total cash costs of about $133 per ounce. Initial ore placement on the heap-leach pad expansion project occurred in December 2001, and the project was fully operational in first quarter of 2002.
 
Zarafshan-Newmont produces gold by crushing and leaching ore from existing stockpiles of low grade oxide ore from the nearby government owned Murantau mine. The State Committee and Navoi furnish the ore to Zarafshan-Newmont under an ore supply agreement. In late 2000, the ore supply agreement was amended to modify the required grades and pricing structure of the ore supply agreement covering 220 million metric tons of ore. At signing of the amendment, 68.8 million metric tons had already been delivered. Of the remaining 151.2 million metric tons, 48.7 million metric tons are to be delivered regardless of the gold price, with the price of the ore being dependent on the grade of ore delivered. For the remaining ore (102.5 million metric tons) the grade of ore that the State Committee and Navoi are obligated to provide is dependent on the forecasted gold price as determined by the board of directors of Zarafshan-Newmont, and the price is dependent on the average gold price during the period the ore is processed. Thus, at higher gold prices, the State Committee and Navoi may deliver lower grade ore, but receive a higher price.
 
Equity sales at Martha, approximately 92.3% owned by Newmont and located in New Zealand, were 27,700 and 74,300 ounces for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2002, respectively, with total cash costs of $138 and $132 per ounce, respectively. We expect gold sales for 2002 of approximately 105,000 equity ounces at cash costs of about $124 per ounce.
 
At the Ovacik mine in Turkey, gold sales for the third quarter of 2002 were 36,600 ounces with total cash costs of $123 per ounce. Gold sales for the first nine months of 2002 were 84,600 ounces with cash costs of $128 per ounce. Production commenced at this operation in June 2001. We expect gold sales for 2002 of approximately 120,000 ounces at total cash costs of about $138 per ounce.
 
At the Batu Hijau mine in Indonesia, copper sales totaled 114.5 million and 112.0 million equity pounds (or pounds attributable to Newmont’s ownership or economic interest) for the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total cash costs were $0.24 and $0.29 per pound, after gold by-product credits, for the third

67


quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, copper sales and cash costs were 271.4 million and 282.5 million equity pounds and $0.31 and $0.35 per pound, after gold by-product credits, respectively. Gold sales, treated as by-product credits, totaled 96,900 and 200,200 ounces for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002. We expect copper sales in 2002 between 350 million and 360 million equity pounds at cash costs of about $0.36 per pound, with gold production of approximately 260,000 equity ounces.
 
The Company’s equity income from Batu Hijau includes gold and silver revenues that are credited against costs applicable to sales as by-product credits in the determination of net income for each period presented in the Statements of Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). These by-product credits represented 56% and 51% of revenues and reduced production costs by 72% and 61% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 43% and 41% of revenues and reduced costs applicable to sales by 57% and 49% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Such by-product credits are expected to continue while ore is being processed which, based on current engineering models, is estimated to be through the end of 2020. These by-product credits are expected to vary from time to time and are significant to the economics of the Batu Hijau operations. At current copper prices, the Batu Hijau operation would not be profitable without these credits.
 
The wholly-owned and operated Golden Grove copper/zinc operation in Western Australia, which was acquired in the Normandy transaction, sold 12.6 million pounds of copper at a total cash cost of $0.55 per pound during the third quarter of 2002. Year-to-date copper sales at September 30, 2002 were 37.7 million pounds with total cash costs of $0.56 per pound. Zinc sales were 43.5 million pounds and 112.8 million pounds during the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively, with cash costs of $0.21 per pound in both periods. Copper and zinc are produced in dedicated campaigns. We expect 2002 sales from Golden Grove to total 40.0 million to 45.0 million pounds of copper at a total cash cost of approximately $0.60 per pound and approximately 140 million pounds of zinc at a total cash cost of approximately $0.28 per pound.
 
TVX Newmont Americas is 49.9% owned by Newmont and 50.1% owned by TVX Gold Inc. and is treated as an equity investment for reporting purposes. The principal assets are interests in operating gold mines in South America (Paracatu, Crixas and La Coipa) and Canada (Musselwhite and New Britannia). Equity ounces sold for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 were 54,400 ounces and 130,600 ounces, respectively. We expect equity gold sales for 2002 of about 185,000 ounces.
 
Newmont owns a 45.3% holding in Echo Bay Mines Ltd. which is treated as an equity investment for reporting purposes. Newmont exchanged convertible debt securities for common shares of Echo Bay in April 2002. The principal assets of Echo Bay are interests in operating gold mines in Nevada (Round Mountain), Washington State (Kettle River) and Canada (Lupin). Equity ounces sold for the third quarter of 2002 were 66,400 ounces and 129,300 ounces from April 2002 through September 2002. We expect equity gold sales of 190,000 ounces from Echo Bay.
 
Newmont has agreed to support the proposed combination announced in June 2002 of Kinross Gold Corporation, TVX Gold Inc. and Echo Bay Mines Ltd. In conjunction with this transaction, Newmont has agreed to sell its 49.9% interest in TVX Newmont Americas to TVX Gold Inc. for $180 million, which is contingent on the closing of the Kinross combination, and exchange Newmont’s 48.8% interest in Echo Bay for an approximate interest of 14% in the new Kinross. The transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals by Kinross, TVX Gold Inc. and Echo Bay, and we expect it to close in the fourth quarter of 2002 or the first quarter of 2003. As a result of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s ongoing review, the parties will not be able to finalize and mail the proxy statements in time to hold the special shareholder meetings for the purpose of considering the combination in advance of November 30, 2002, the termination date specified in the combination agreement. The parties are discussing amending the combination agreement to extend the termination date, with a view to holding special meetings late in the fourth quarter 2002 or early in 2003.

Merchant Banking
 
Newmont’s merchant banking business holds royalty interests, which were acquired as a result of the Franco-Nevada acquisition. Royalty interests are generally in the form of a net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty that provides for the payment either in cash or physical metal (“in kind”) of a specified percentage of production, less certain specified transportation and refining costs. In some cases, Newmont owns a net profit interest (“NPI”) entitling Newmont to a specified percentage of the net profits, as defined in each case, from a particular mining operation. The majority of NSR royalty revenue and NPI revenue can be received in kind at the option of Newmont. Newmont earned $7.9 million and $22.9 million of royalty revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively. For the period February 15, 2002 through December 31, 2002, we expect royalty revenue to total approximately $32 million.
 
Financial Results
 
Consolidated gold sales include 100% of Minera Yanacocha, Kori Kollo and Tanami and Newmont equity production elsewhere, but exclude Batu Hijau, TVX Newmont Americas and Echo Bay Mines, which are accounted for as equity investments. Results for the first nine months of 2002 only include activities from companies acquired in the Normandy and Franco-Nevada acquisitions from February 16, 2002 forward. The increase in consolidated sales revenue in the third quarter of 2002 from the comparable 2001 period primarily resulted from higher gold prices and the inclusion of sales from the Newmont Australia acquisition as shown in the following tables (unaudited):

Sales—base metals include $13.6 and $42.2 million from copper/zinc sales from the Golden Grove copper/zinc operation in Western Australia and $0.7 and $4.4 million from cobalt sales from the Kasese operation in Uganda for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively. During the third quarter of 2002, Newmont sold its 86% interest in Banff Resources Ltd., which holds a 64% interest in Kasese. No gain or loss was recorded on the sale as it was recorded as a purchase price adjustment to the Normandy acquisition.
 
Royalties during the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 of $7.9 million and $22.9 million, respectively, compared to $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the same periods of 2001. Most of the royalties were acquired as part of the acquisition of Franco-Nevada in February 2002.
 
Dividends, interest, foreign currency exchange and other income (loss) was $8.3 million and $(3.6) million during the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $23.5 million and $3.1 million during the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively, reflecting higher interest earnings and foreign currency exchange gains in the current year periods versus foreign currency exchange losses in the prior year periods.
 
Gain on sale of Lihir of $47.3 million was recorded during the second quarter of 2002 when Newmont sold its 9.7% equity holding in Lihir Gold Limited. As a result, Newmont is no longer a shareholder of Lihir. Newmont realized proceeds of $84 million on the sale.

Costs of sales include total cash costs and provisions for estimated final reclamation expenses related to consolidated production. The increase in Costs of sales and Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 from the same prior year’s periods resulted primarily from the February 2002 acquisitions and higher overall cash costs in 2002. See the Reconciliation of Costs of sales to total cash costs on pages 61 to 64 for costs of sales by operation. For the full year 2002, we expect depreciation, depletion and amortization to total between $540 to $550 million. Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 were as follows by operation:

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $33.1 million and $24.6 million for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, interest expense, net of capitalized interest, was $99.3 million and $71.4 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense during the current year periods in comparison to the prior year periods is due to the higher debt position subsequent to the acquisition of Normandy. For the full year 2002, we expect interest expense to be between $130 million and $135 million.
 
General and administrative expenses totaled $29.7 million and $13.7 million for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, general and administrative expenses were $78.7 million and $44.6 million, respectively. The increase in 2002 reflects the February acquisitions. For the full year 2002, we expect general and administrative expenses to total approximately $110 million.
 
Income tax (expense) benefit in the third quarter of 2002 was $(11.2) million, while Newmont reported an income tax benefit of $9.7 million during the third quarter of 2001. Income tax expense was $(44.3) million for the first nine months of 2002, while the Company reported an income tax benefit of $9.0 million for the same period in 2001.
 
Merger and restructuring expenses in the first nine months of 2001 of $60.5 million ($43.7 million, net of tax) included $28.1 million of transaction and related costs associated with the Battle Mountain merger and $32.4 million of restructuring expenses that included $22.1 million for voluntary early retirement pension benefits and $10.3 million for employee severance and office closures. Merger costs of approximately $90 million for the Normandy and Franco-Nevada acquisitions were capitalized.
 
Gain (loss) on derivative instruments of $(11.2) million and $0.9 million were recorded for the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Newmont recorded losses on derivative instruments of $14.3 million for the first nine months of 2002 and gains on derivative instruments of $1.8 million for the first nine months of 2001. These gains and losses reflect the non-cash change in fair value of those instruments not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment, and for the 2002 period, the ineffective portion of those instruments which do qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Over the life of the contracts, any unrealized gains or losses will be recorded in income. During the 2002 third quarter, the Australian gold price increased, which resulted in a substantial negative adjustment to the Normandy hedge position.
 
Equity income of affiliates includes equity income in Batu Hijau of $13.5 million and $16.2 million for the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $26.3 million and $20.7 million for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Batu benefited in 2002 from an increased mill throughput rate of 143,000 tons per day, an 8% increase over the design rate, and continued positive grade reconciliations to the mine plan. Equity income of affiliates in 2002 also includes equity income in TVX Newmont Americas, AMC and Echo Bay Mines in the third quarter of $3.5 million, $(1.2) and $1.1 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2002 and $6.6 million, $(1.2) million and $1.8 million, respectively for the first nine months of 2002.
 
Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, included $(3.4) million and $7.7 million gains (losses) for temporary changes in fair value of marketable securities for the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The third quarter of 2002 also included a $58.0 million loss for the effective portion of the change in fair value of cash flow hedge instruments resulting from the acquisition of the Normandy hedge position in February 2002, compared to a loss of $1.8 million for the same period in 2001. During the 2002 third quarter, the Australian gold price increased, which resulted in a substantial negative adjustment to the Normandy hedge position. The third quarters of 2002 and 2001 also included gains (losses) from foreign currency translation of $(14.1) million and $0.9 million, respectively. For the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, included $(0.7) million and $16.7 million gains (losses) for temporary changes in fair value on marketable securities. The first nine months of 2002 also included a $2.8 million loss for the effective portion of the change in fair value of cash flow hedge instruments resulting from the acquisition of the Normandy hedge position in February 2002, compared to a $0.7 million gain for the same period in 2001. The first nine months of 2002 and 2001 also included gains (losses) from foreign currency translation of $4.1 million and $(5.2) million, respectively. The first nine months of 2002 also included an $18.3 million adjustment for the sale of Lihir.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Nos. 141 and 142, “Business Combinations” and “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” respectively. The adoption of these standards on January 1, 2002 did not impact Newmont’s historical financial statements or results of operations. As previously noted, the 2002 acquisitions of Normandy and Franco-Nevada were accounted for as purchases and goodwill of $2.6 billion resulted from the preliminary purchase price allocation based on the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Such goodwill will not be amortized, but will be subject to impairment testing at least annually, as prescribed by SFAS No. 142.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” that established uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. The statement will be adopted January 1, 2003, when Newmont will record the estimated present value of reclamation liabilities and increase the carrying amount of the related asset. Subsequently, reclamation costs will be allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and will be adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate. Newmont is in the process of quantifying the effect of adoption on January 1, 2003.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which established a single accounting model, based on the framework of SFAS No. 121 “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. The statement was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and there was no impact upon adoption.
 
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4 , 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” The statement nullified SFAS 4, SFAS 44 and SFAS 64 and established that gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria of APB Opinion No. 30 “Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.” The Statement also amends SFAS Statement No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions and makes technical corrections to various other FASB statements. For the provisions of the statement relating to the extinguishment of debt, SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions relating to SFAS 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, and all other provisions are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. We do not anticipate any impact upon adoption.
 
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” which addressed financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. It nullified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan as was required under EITF No. 94-3. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, and we do not anticipate any impact upon adoption except with respect to those exit or disposal activities that are initiated by the Company after that date.
 
EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
 
Exploration and research expenditures totaled $25.4 million and $55.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively, compared to $12.8 million and $43.5 million for the third quarter and first

73


nine months of 2001. On a consolidated basis, Newmont expects 2002 exploration and research expenditures to be between $75 million and $80 million.
 
Currently, over 100 drills are operating worldwide on approximately 30 projects, including in Nevada (Gold Margin area between Deep Post and Deep Star, Emigrant Springs and Dos Equis), Yanacocha (Corimayo and Chaquicocha Sur), Australia (Jundee Westside and Golden Grove), and Ghana (Akyem). Updated reserves are scheduled to be announced with year-end 2002 financial results in the first quarter of 2003.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
During the first nine months of 2002, cash flow from operations ($445.1 million) and proceeds from sale of short-term investments ($407.4 million), the sale of marketable securities in Lihir ($84.0 million), the settlement of cross currency swaps ($50.8 million) and the issuance of stock ($68.0 million) funded capital expenditures ($238.2 million), net repayments of debt ($533.5 million), cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash received, ($88.1 million) and dividends ($37.9 million) and provided a $142.7 million increase in cash. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2002 were $292.1 million, compared with $149.4 million at December 31, 2001. In 2002, Newmont expects to fund capital expenditures from operating cash flow.

Expenditures for North American operations during the first nine months of 2002 included approximately $33.4 million related to activities in Nevada, which included expenditures for the development of the Deep Post, Leeville, Chukar and Midas underground mines and other new project development. South American capital expenditures were primarily at Yanacocha ($109.1 million—100% basis) for leach pad expansion, carbon columns, mine development and other ongoing expansion work. Australian capital expenditures were primarily for mine development at Tanami ($8.6 million), Yandal ($15.8 million) and Kalgoorlie ($10.5 million), mine development and equipment for the conversion to owner mining at Pajingo ($6.9 million) and various projects at other sites. Capital expenditures in the 2001 period were primarily for the development of the Deep Post underground mine in Nevada and the development of the La Quinua project at Minera Yanacocha.
 
Newmont expects to spend approximately $375 million for capital expenditures during 2002, including $60 million for Nevada, $200 million for Yanacocha and about $70 million at its Australian operations. Expenditures for projects at Nevada include about $12 million for Leeville, $8.5 million for Deep Post, $6.0 million for Gold Quarry South Layback (“GQSL”) and $6.0 million for Chukar, as well as $7.5 million for Midas underground mine development. Development of the Leeville underground mine and the Gold Quarry South Layback

74


(“GQSL”) in Nevada is proceeding. We project total capital expenditures for Leeville and GQSL of approximately $200 million and $36 million, respectively. We expect Leeville to commence production in 2007 and GQSL in 2005. At Yanacocha, approximately $200 million will be spent primarily on leach pad expansion. Budgeted Australian expenditures include $23 million at Yandal and $15 million at Tanami.
 
On May 9, 2002, PTNNT completed a restructuring of its $1.0 billion project financing facility (Senior Debt) that provides PTNNT the capability to defer up to a total of $173.4 million in principal payments scheduled for 2002 and 2003. Any deferred principal amounts will be repaid between 2004 and 2010. Under this restructuring, Batu Hijau is not permitted to pay dividends or make other restricted payments to Newmont or its partner as long as any amount of deferred principal is outstanding; however, there is no restriction on prepaying any of the deferred principal amounts. Amounts outstanding under the project financing facility total $913.3 million at September 30, 2002. Newmont and its partner provide a contingent support line of credit to PTNNT. During the first nine months of 2002, Newmont funded $24.8 million under this contingent support facility as its pro-rata share for capital expenditures. Additional support from Newmont and its partner, available under this facility amounts to $115.0 million, of which Newmont’s pro-rata share is $64.7 million.
 
During the first nine months of 2002, $407.4 million was realized from sales of short-term investments. In April 2002, we sold all of our marketable securities in Lihir Gold Limited, representing a 9.7% equity interest in this company with gold mining operations in Papua New Guinea. Proceeds of $84.0 million were realized and a pre-tax gain of approximately $47.3 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2002.
 
Financing Activities
 
Scheduled minimum long-term debt repayments are $22 million for the remainder of 2002, $79 million in 2003, $166 million in 2004, $494 million in 2005, $95 million in 2006, $71 million in 2007 and $899 million thereafter.
 
In March 2002, Newmont, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, made an offer to repurchase any and all of the outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2008 of Newmont Yandal Operations Limited (“Newmont Yandal”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont. As of the offer date, $300 million principal amount of notes was outstanding. The repurchase offer was made pursuant to the terms of an Indenture dated as of April 7, 1998, between Newmont Yandal and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Indenture requires that Newmont Yandal, following a “Change of Control” as defined in the Indenture, make an offer to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. Although the applicable provisions of the Indenture can be read to the contrary, Newmont is taking the position that a Change of Control occurred on February 20, 2002 when Newmont acquired control of Normandy. The Indenture provides that Newmont Yandal is not required to make the Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the offer. Newmont’s offer, however, should not be construed as a commitment by Newmont to provide ongoing financial or credit support to Newmont Yandal. The Change of Control Offer was open until May 14, 2002 and resulted in the redemption of $62.8 million of the outstanding notes.
 
In April 2002, Newmont repaid its $150 million 8.625% notes. In May 2002, Newmont repaid the $170.6 million outstanding under the A$490 million committed revolving multi-option facility, closing it out, and increased the Newmont $600 million facility to $750 million, with the addition of a $150 million Australian bank tranche. Newmont temporarily drew down approximately $445 million from the credit facility in February 2002 in connection with the acquisition of Normandy. However, by March 31, 2002, the credit facility had been repaid, so there was no balance outstanding at September 30, 2002.
 
In April 2002, Newmont announced the redemption of all issued and outstanding shares of its $3.25 convertible preferred stock as of May 15, 2002. We paid a redemption price of $50.325 per share, plus $0.8125 per share for all accrued dividends at the redemption date. In settlement of the total redemption price of $51.1375 per share, Newmont issued to holders of record 1.9187 shares of its common stock. This redemption eliminated $7.5 million of annual preferred stock dividends prospectively.

On April 26, 2002, Newmont filed a post effective amendment to previous Registration Statements on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of increasing its existing universal shelf registration from $500 million to $1.0 billion. This filing will provide us the capability to access capital markets for debt or equity securities as required and as market conditions warrant. The Form S-3 has not yet been declared effective.
 
Newmont has a 22.8% voting interest in Australian Magnesium Corporation (“AMC”), which raised equity to support the development of a project involving a proprietary chemical and dehydration process for producing anhydrous magnesium chloride as feed for an electrolytic cell to produce molten magnesium metal and magnesium alloys. Newmont has an obligation to contribute to AMC A$100 million (approximately $54 million) in equity by January 31, 2003. Newmont provided an A$90 million (approximately $49 million) contingency equity commitment in the event the project does not achieve certain specified production and operating criteria by December 2006, which commitment is being renegotiated to provide for an A$75 million convertible debt and equity facility. Newmont has guaranteed a $30 million obligation payable by AMC to Ford Motor Company in the event the project does not meet certain specified production and operating criteria by November 2005. Newmont is also guarantor of A$71 million (approximately $39 million) corporate facility of AMC’s subsidiary, QMC Finance Pty. Limited’s (“QMC”), as well as QMC’s foreign exchange hedging position.
 
A series of foreign exchange contracts have been entered into by QMC. All obligations related to these contracts have been guaranteed by Newmont Australia and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These contracts are designed to convert the receipt of Euros and US$ revenues from the sale of magnesium into A$ cash flows to cover A$ operating costs and the servicing of A$ denominated debt. The contracts include foreign exchange forward contracts and bought put options.
 
During the third quarter of 2002, the Company reduced its net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) by approximately $115 million. Minera Yanacocha paid down $53 million on its credit facilities. In addition, as part of the terms of the sale of the Kasese cobalt project during the quarter, the Company paid off $34.3 million of project financing associated with the project.

The foregoing discussion and analysis, as well as certain information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation (i) estimates of future earnings, and the sensitivity of earnings to gold and other metal prices, (ii) estimates of future gold and other metals production and sales, (iii) estimates of future cash costs, (iv) estimates of future cash flows and the sensitivity of cash flows to the gold and other metals prices, (v) statements regarding future debt repayments, (vi) estimates of future capital expenditures, (vii) statements regarding future asset sales or other rationalization efforts, and (viii) statements regarding modifications to the Company’s hedge position.
 
Where Newmont expresses an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements (“cautionary statements”) are disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the Newmont Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 as well as other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond Newmont’s ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
 
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Newmont or to persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Newmont disclaims any intent or

76


obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements set forth in this Report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
 
ITEM 4.    Controls and Procedures
 
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. In addition, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.    Legal Proceedings
 
Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 5.    Other Information
 
Under Newmont’s by-laws, stockholders must give advance notice of nominations for a director or other business to be addressed at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders no later than the close of business on March 17, 2003. The advance notice must be delivered to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation at 1700 Lincoln St., Denver, Colorado, 80203. Page 5 of Newmont’s 2002 Proxy Statement and page 16 of the Special Report to Shareholders mailed in September 2002 contained incorrect dates.
 
After Newmont’s release of its News Release issued November 12, 2002, announcing Newmont’s third quarter results, Newmont discovered that the News Release inadvertently contained certain incorrect information:
 
 
 
The committed ounces outstanding as of September 30, 2002 in the Normandy group hedge book is 5.8 million. As written, the sixth bullet point in the third paragraph on page 1 incorrectly implied that the 5.8 million committed ounces were for all of Newmont.
 
 
 
The mark-to-market valuation of the Normandy group hedge book grew to a negative $422 million at the end of the third quarter. The second paragraph under the heading “Hedge Book Reduction” on page 3 and Footnote 3 to the “Gold Hedge Position—Current Maturity Summary” table on page 19 incorrectly stated that the valuation was a negative $412 million at the end of the third quarter.
 
 
 
The breakdown of the mark-to-market valuation in Footnote 3 to the “Gold Hedge Position—Current Maturity Summary” table on page 19 should have stated that Newmont Gold Treasury comprised 27% of this valuation, and not that Newmont Australia Limited comprised 28%, and that Newmont Yandal Operations Limited comprised 67% of this valuation, not 66%.
 
ITEM 6.    Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
