Tonnage amounts have been rounded to the nearest 100,000. (2)
Mineralized material estimates were provided by Barrick, the
operator of the Turquoise Ridge Joint Venture. Barrick calculated
mineralized material not in reserves assuming a gold price of
US$525 per ounce. (3) Stockpiles are comprised primarily of
material that has been set aside to allow processing of higher
grade material in the mills. Stockpiles increase or decrease
depending on current mine plans. (4) Mineralized material estimates
were provided by Buenaventura, the operator of the La Zanja
Project. Buenaventura calculated mineralized material at a gold
price of US$350 per ounce. (5) Percentage reflects Newmont's
economic interest. (6) Martabe was sold during 2006. (7) Holloway

This news release 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

implies 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, forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from future results
expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such risks include, but are not limited to, gold and other metals
price volatility, currency fluctuations, increased production costs
and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in
mining plans, political and operational risks in the countries in
which we operate, and governmental regulation and judicial
