stock if at the time of the disposition our common stock is not regularly traded on an established securities market. You also may be subject to a withholding tax on the proceeds from the disposition of the shares of our common stock. Currently, our
common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market and, therefore, the tax and the withholding tax described above would not apply to a disposition of shares, except as provided below. The tax described above would apply to the
disposition by you of shares of our common stock even though our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market if you are a non-U.S. person who actually or constructively beneficially owns more than 5% of the total fair market
value of all outstanding shares of our common stock at any time during the five year period immediately preceding the disposition. The withholding tax described above, however, would not apply to the disposition, except in certain circumstances.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A syndicate covering transaction is a bid for or the purchase of shares of common stock on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a syndicate short position incurred by the underwriters in connection with this offering.
The underwriters may create a syndicate short position by making short sales of shares of common stock and may purchase shares of common stock on the open market to cover syndicate short positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale
by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering. Short sales can be either covered or naked. Covered short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the
underwriters&#146; over-allotment option to purchase additional shares from us in this offering. Naked short sales are sales in excess of the over-allotment option. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are
concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of shares of common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. If the underwriters create a syndicate short position, they
may choose to reduce or cover this position by either exercising all or part of the over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of common stock from us or by engaging in syndicate covering transactions. The underwriters may close out any
covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option or purchasing securities in the open market. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. In determining the source of
shares of common stock to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through
the over-allotment option. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A stabilizing bid is a bid for or

incorporated in 1921 under the laws of Delaware. On February 13, 2002, at a special meeting of the stockholders of Newmont Mining Corporation, the stockholders approved adoption of an Agreement and Plan of Merger that provided for a restructuring of
Newmont Mining Corporation to facilitate the February 2002 acquisitions described below and to create a more flexible corporate structure. Newmont Mining Corporation merged with an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, which resulted in Newmont Mining
Corporation becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of a new holding company. Newmont Mining Corporation was renamed Newmont USA Limited and the new holding company was renamed Newmont Mining Corporation. There was no impact to the consolidated
financial statements of Newmont Mining Corporation as a result of this restructuring and former stockholders of Newmont Mining Corporation became stockholders of the new holding company. In this prospectus, &#147;Newmont Mining,&#148;

Arrangement. As a result, Franco-Nevada became a subsidiary of Newmont Mining and subsequently changed its name to Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited. On February 20, 2002, Newmont Mining gained control of Normandy Mining Limited, an
Australian company, through an off-market bid for all of the ordinary shares of Normandy. On February 26, 2002, when Newmont Mining&#146;s off-market bid for Normandy expired, Newmont Mining had a relevant interest in more than 96% of
Normandy&#146;s outstanding shares. Subsequently, Newmont exercised its compulsory acquisition rights under Australian law to acquire all of the shares of Normandy. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

expanding known ore bodies or by locating new deposits in order for gold producers to maintain production levels over the long term. Gold exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and frequently is unproductive. No assurances
can be given that any of our new or ongoing exploration programs will result in new mineral producing operations. Once mineralization is discovered, it may take many years from the initial phases of drilling until production is possible, during
which time the economic feasibility of production may change. As a result, reserves may decline as gold is produced if they are not adequately replaced. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

based on interpretations of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques. Gold producers use feasibility studies to derive estimates of cash operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and
processed, the predicted configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, comparable facility, equipment, and operating costs, and other factors. Actual cash operating costs and economic returns on projects may differ
significantly from original estimates. Further, it may take many years from the initial phase of drilling before production is possible and, during that time, the economic feasibility of exploiting a discovery may change. </FONT></P> <P

enter into new material gold hedging positions and we intend to decrease our hedge positions over time by opportunistically delivering gold into our existing hedge contracts, and by seeking to unwind our hedge positions when economically attractive.
Nonetheless, we currently have gold hedging positions. If the gold price rises above the price at which future production has been committed under these hedge instruments, we will have an opportunity loss. However, if the gold price falls below that
committed price, our revenues will be protected to the extent of such committed production. In addition, we may experience losses if a hedge counterparty defaults under a contract when the contract price exceeds the gold price. </FONT></P> <P

31, 2002, the carrying value of our goodwill was approximately $3.0 billion or 30% of our total assets. Such goodwill has been assigned to our Merchant Banking Segment ($1.6 billion) and Exploration Segment ($1.1 billion), and to various mine site
reporting units ($300 million in the aggregate). As further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recently completed fiscal year under &#147;Critical Accounting Policies&#148; in Item 7, &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and
Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; and in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, this goodwill arose in connection with our February 15, 2002 acquisition of Normandy and Franco-Nevada, and it
represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Normandy and Franco-Nevada as measured at February 15, 2002. Such goodwill was assigned to reporting units based on independent appraisals
performed by Behre Dolbear &amp; Company, Inc., a mineral industry consulting firm (&#147;Behre Dolbear&#148;). We evaluate, on at least an annual basis, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate
that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. This evaluation involves a comparison of the fair value of our reporting units to their carrying values. The fair values of the applicable reporting units are based in part on certain factors
that may be partially or completely outside of our control, such as the investing environment, the discovery of proven and probable reserves, commodity prices and other factors. In addition, we may not be able to easily replicate some of the
assumptions underlying the Merchant Banking and Exploration Segment February 15, 2002 appraisals, even though these assumptions were based on historical experience and we consider these assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances. With
respect to the Merchant Banking Segment, these assumptions included (i) an initial investment of $300 million; (ii) additional annual investments of $50 million commencing in year two (2003) of a seven-year time horizon; (iii) an average long-term
after-tax return of 37.3%; (iv) the immediate reinvestment of average annual returns; and (v) discount rates ranging from 8% to 9%. With respect to the Exploration Segment, these assumptions included (i) 1.6 million recoverable ounces of additions
to proven and probable reserves through new discoveries in the first year following the acquisition; (ii) an annual growth rate for such reserve additions of 23.1% over a ten-year period; (iii) a fair value for each recoverable ounce of reserve
additions of approximately $58; and (iv) a discount rate of 15%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Our assumptions set forth above are subject to risks and uncertainties. In the absence of any mitigating valuation factors, our failure to achieve one or more of the February 15, 2002 appraisal assumptions will over time result in an
impairment charge. Accordingly, we cannot give you any assurance that significant non-cash impairment losses will not be recorded in the future due to possible declines in the fair values of our reporting units. For a more detailed description of
the estimates, assumptions and related risks involved in assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill, see the discussion under &#147;Critical Accounting Policies&#148; in Item 7, &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of

These problems heighten the risk of abrupt changes in the national policy toward foreign investors, which in turn could result in unilateral modification of concessions or contracts, increased taxation, or expropriation of assets. If this were to

within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the
clearance and recording of the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through computerized records for participant&#146;s accounts. This eliminates the need for physical
exchange of certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Other organizations such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust
companies that work through a participant, either directly or indirectly use DTC&#146;s book-entry system. The rules that apply to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
