 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 2, 2006, rulings were issued in Uzbekistan in favor of tax authorities and against the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture (&#147;ZNJV&#148;) in two
claims to collect approximately $48 million in taxes. ZNJV is 50 percent owned by Newmont Mining Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;). On August 8, 2006, ZNJV filed its appeal to Uzbekistan&#146;s High Economic Court. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Government authorities have continued to prevent the shipment of ZNJV gold out of Uzbekistan, and some gold has been seized by the tax authorities (along
with other assets of ZNJV). As a result, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (&#147;EBRD&#148;), with which ZNJV has an outstanding debt obligation of approximately $20 million, continues to restrict ZNJV&#146;s ability to access
funds of approximately $18 million held in its offshore account. Government authorities have been conducting purported criminal investigations relating to ZNJV&#146;s operations and its personnel. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On August 14, 2006, the Company received notice that the Navoi Economic Court had accepted the petition of an agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan to
institute a bankruptcy proceeding against ZNJV. Neither ZNJV nor the Company received advance notice that the petition was filed or that a hearing would be held. The court ordered &#147;supervisory measures&#148; restricting normal operations,
including export of gold or repayment of loans without the approval of a court-appointed temporary administrator, who will now oversee all operations of ZNJV. Another hearing has been scheduled for September 29, 2006. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company believes that the purported criminal investigations and the bankruptcy proceeding are part of an effort to effectively expropriate the
Company&#146;s interest in ZNJV. The Company intends to pursue all available legal remedies to protect its rights, and has provided notice to the appropriate government authorities that it intends to pursue international arbitration. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July 27, 2006, the Company stated that it expected to sell approximately 5.9-6.2 million equity ounces of gold in 2006, of which approximately 90,000
equity ounces were expected from sales by ZNJV in the second half of 2006. Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time, it is unlikely that the Company will receive the benefit of these gold sales during the second
half of 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the book value of the Corporation&#146;s ownership interest in ZNJV was approximately $94 million. As of December 31, 2005, ZNJV represented 1,690,000 ounces (the Company&#146;s 50% share) of proven and probable
gold reserves of the Company, or approximately five years of profitable production at current gold prices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This Current Report on Form 8-K
contains &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; 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
