INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
Newmont Mining Corporation (the "Corporation" or "Registrant")
hereby incorporates by reference in this Prospectus the following:
o the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004,
o the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter

o the Corporation's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 5,
2005, January 12, 2005, February 3, 2005, February 24, 2005,
March 2, 2005, March 3, 2005, March 22, 2005, April 27, 2005 and
May 2, 2005, and
o the description of the Corporation's Common Stock contained in
the Corporation's registration statement for such Common Stock
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), including any amendment or report filed for the
purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Corporation pursuant to
Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been
sold or which deregister all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein
or in a document all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded
for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration
Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article Tenth of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the directors of the Corporation shall be protected from personal
liability, through indemnification or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as from time to time
in effect.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes
and empowers the Corporation to indemnify the directors, officers, employees and
agents of the Corporation against liabilities incurred in connection with, and
related expenses resulting from, any claim, action or suit brought against any
such person as a result of his or her relationship with the Corporation,
provided that such persons acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Corporation in connection with the acts or events on which such claim, action or
suit is based. The finding of either civil or criminal liability on the
part of such persons in connection with such acts or events is not necessarily
determinative of the question of whether such persons have met the required
standard of conduct and are, accordingly, entitled to be indemnified. The
foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Section 145 of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The By-Laws of the Corporation provide that each person who at
any time is or shall have been a director or officer of the Corporation, or is
or shall have been serving another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity at the request
of the Corporation, and his heirs, executors and administrators, shall be
indemnified by the Corporation in accordance with and to the full extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Section 6 of
Article VI of the By-Laws of the Corporation facilitates enforcement of the
right of directors and owners to be indemnified by establishing such right as a
contract right pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as
if the indemnification provisions of the By-Laws were set forth in a separate
written contract between the Corporation and the director or officer.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

of the Corporation. Incorporated herein by reference to
Exhibit 3.4 to the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form
8-A relating to the registration of its common stock, filed
with the Commission on February 15, 2002.
4.3 By-laws of the Corporation. Incorporated by reference to

5 Opinion of White & Case LLP, counsel to the Corporation, with
respect to the legality of the Common Stock being registered.
23.1 Consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
23.2 Consent of White & Case LLP (included in Exhibit 5 to this
Registration Statement).
24 Power of Attorney of certain officers and directors.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
-2-
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
20 percent in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering; and
(4) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Corporation's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in
this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise,
the Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Corporation
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
