SIZE="2"><U>Award of Bonuses for 2005 Performance </U></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On February&nbsp;23, 2006, the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the
&#147;Committee&#148;) of the Board of Directors of Newmont Mining Corporation (the &#147;Corporation&#148;) awarded annual cash incentives for 2005 the Corporation&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and the Corporation&#146;s other four most highly
compensated executive officers in 2005 (the &#147;named executive officers&#148;) in the amounts set forth below. Annual cash incentive awards were made pursuant to the Corporation&#146;s Annual Incentive Compensation Payroll Practice
(&#147;AICP&#148;). The named executive officers (and other senior management) are eligible to receive both a corporate performance bonus and a personal performance bonus. Participants in the AICP are assigned target awards as a percentage of their
eligible base salary. Target award percentages increase at higher management levels to 100% of eligible base salary in the case of the Chief Executive Officer. The weight of corporate performance and personal performance factors varies by
participant. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The 2005 corporate performance bonus is paid in cash based on achievement of corporate performance goals, which consist of
(a)&nbsp;certain goals relating to net asset value, (b)&nbsp;certain reserve replacement goals, (c)&nbsp;certain free cash flow goals, (d)&nbsp;an earnings goal, and (e)&nbsp;a gross margin goal. All of these performance goals were established by
the Committee. The AICP bonus amount depends on the Corporation&#146;s performance against these goals. If the Corporation meets the goals, each eligible employee receives a payment equal to his or her target award percentage; if the Corporation
exceeds the goals, the payment can increase to as high as 200% of the target award percentage; if the Corporation does not meet the goals, the payment can decrease and, if the Corporation fails to achieve certain threshold performance, the payment
will not be made at all. In 2005, the Corporation achieved a corporate performance percentage of 84.7% of target performance, based on the Corporation&#146;s actual performance results as compared to the 2005 corporate performance goals. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The personal performance bonus is also paid in cash. Target bonus levels are determined by the grade level of each respective executive officer or
other AICP participant, and payouts are based on an evaluation of each executive&#146;s personal contribution to the Corporation. In 2005, the maximum payout percentage for the personal performance bonus was 150% of the target level for the grade
(with awards paid above the target level based on exemplary performance). Performance deemed to fall below expectations results in a payment below the target level, or in some cases no payment at all. In 2005, personal performance awards to the
named executive officers and other AICP participants were based on certain factors such as the individual goals and accomplishments of the relevant executive officer or other AICP participant, as well as his or her contributions to the positive
results realized by the Corporation during 2005. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2003, the Corporation eliminated the Intermediate Term Incentive Compensation Plan
(&#147;ITIP&#148;), which paid bonuses in the form of cash and restricted stock based on a consolidated three-year performance measurement. The elimination of the ITIP resulted in a reduction in total direct compensation for the executive team. In
order to address this reduction, the Committee approved cash transition payments over three years to those executives who previously participated in the ITIP. The transition payments are also based on the Corporation&#146;s achievement of corporate
performance goals under the AICP, in which the Corporation achieved </FONT>

Corporation&#146;s performance, which approval was ratified by the Board of Directors on February&nbsp;24, 2006. Restricted stock awards are intended to reward the named executive officers and other eligible executives based on the attainment of
corporate performance goals established by the Committee, which track the corporate performance goals established under the AICP, as described above. If the Corporation meets the corporate performance goals, each eligible executive will receive an
award of shares equal to his or her target award percentage; if the Corporation exceeds the goals, the award can increase to as high as 200% of the target award percentage; if the Corporation does not meet the goals, the award can decrease and, if
the Corporation fails to achieve certain threshold performance, the award will not be made at all. The named executive officers and other eligible executives have been assigned target awards based upon a percentage of their eligible base salary,
which ranged from 75% to 135% for 2005 for the named executive officers. In 2005, the Corporation achieved a corporate performance percentage of 84.7% of target performance, based on the Corporation&#146;s actual performance results as compared to
the 2005 performance goals. Restricted stock awards for 2005 were made in the form of restricted shares of Newmont Common Stock under the Newmont Mining Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, with such shares vesting in equal installments over three
years. For Mr.&nbsp;Lassonde, restricted stock units (RSUs) were awarded. Prior to vesting, a holder of restricted stock units does not have the right to vote the underlying shares or receive any dividends. The RSUs vest in three equal increments
over three years. Upon vesting, Mr.&nbsp;Lassonde is entitled to receive one share of Newmont common stock for each restricted stock unit. The named executive officers were awarded the following amounts of restricted stock of Newmont Common Stock
for 2005: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
