NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“interim statements”) of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont” or the “Company”) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with Newmont’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed February 25, 2010. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency, “IDR” to Indonesian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency and “$” to United States currency.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Variable Interest Entities
In June 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) guidance for consolidation accounting was updated to require an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). This qualitative analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The updated guidance also requires ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Adoption of the updated guidance, effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010, had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company identified Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”), a partnership between Newmont and an affiliate of Sumitomo, that owns a 56% interest in PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT” or “Batu Hijau”), as a VIE due to certain capital structures and contractual relationships. Newmont also identified P.T Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), and PT Indonesia Masbaga Investama (“PTIMI”), unrelated noncontrolling partners of PTNNT, as VIEs. Newmont entered into transactions with PTPI and PTIMI, whereby the Company agreed to advance certain funds in exchange for a pledge of the noncontrolling partners’ combined 20% share of PTNNT dividends, net of withholding tax. The agreements also provide Newmont with certain voting rights and obligations related to the noncontrolling partners’ combined 20% share of PTNNT and commitments from PTPI and PTIMI to support the application of Newmont’s standards to the operation of the Batu Hijau mine. The Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary of these entities and control the operations of Batu Hijau, and therefore consolidates PTNNT in the Company’s financial statements.
Fair Value Accounting
In January 2010, ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to require additional disclosures related to transfers in and out of level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and enhanced detail in the level 3 reconciliation. The guidance was amended to clarify the level of disaggregation required for assets and liabilities and the disclosures required for inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that fall in either level 2 or level 3. The updated guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010, with the exception of the level 3 disaggregation which is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 16 for further details regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Other Stock Based Compensation
For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 149,235 and 198,057 restricted stock units, respectively, were granted, at a weighted-average fair market value of $56 and $40, respectively, per underlying share of the Company’s common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 475,197 and 450,195 restricted stock units, respectively, were granted, at a weighted-average fair market value of $52 and $42, respectively, per underlying share of the Company’s common stock.
No shares of common stock were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 225 shares of common stock were granted at the weighted-average fair market value of $40 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 under the Company’s financial performance bonus plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 64,646 and 40,078 shares of common stock, respectively, were granted under this plan at a weighted-average fair market value of $50 and $43, respectively.
Beginning in 2010, the Company granted performance leveraged stock units (“PSUs”) to eligible executives. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, nil and 204,732 PSUs, respectively, were granted under the performance leveraged stock bonus plan. The actual number of PSUs earned will be determined at the end of a performance period (generally three years), based upon certain measures of shareholder return.
At June 30, 2010, there was $39 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested other stock based compensation awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.
NOTE 10 INCOME TAXES
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded estimated income tax expense of $273 resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.6%. Estimated income tax expense during the second quarter of 2009 was $136 for an effective tax rate of 29.6%. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2009 to 2010 resulted from the change in the jurisdictional blend of the Company’s taxable income and the effect of percentage depletion. During the first half of 2010, estimated income tax expense was $408 resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.1%. Estimated income tax expense during the first half of 2009 was $241 for an effective tax rate of 28.5%. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 2009 to 2010 resulted from a tax benefit of $127 being recorded in the first quarter of 2010 from the conversion of non-US tax-paying entities to entities currently subject to U.S. income tax resulting in an increase in net deferred tax assets, partially offset by the change in the jurisdictional blend of the Company’s taxable income and the effect it has on the overall rate impact from percentage depletion. The effective tax rates in the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to U.S. percentage depletion and the effect of different income tax rates in countries where earnings are indefinitely reinvested.
The Company operates in numerous countries around the world and accordingly it is subject to, and pays annual income taxes under, the various income tax regimes in the countries in which it operates. Some of these tax regimes are defined by contractual agreements with the local government, and others are defined by the general corporate income tax laws of the country. The Company has historically filed, and continues to file, all required income tax returns and pay the income taxes reasonably determined to be due. The tax rules and regulations in many countries are highly complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time the Company is subject to a review of its historic income tax filings and in connection with such reviews, disputes can arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain rules to the Company’s business conducted within the country involved. The Company anticipates concluding a tax audit and receiving an assessment from the Indonesian Tax Office in July 2010. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions through all processes available to it. The conclusion of on-going negotiations could have an impact on our unrecognized income tax benefit balances; however, the Company believes that the outcome will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. At June 30, 2010, the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit was $133 for uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns. Of this, $65 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
As a result of (i) statute of limitations that expire in the next 12 months in various jurisdictions, and (ii) possible settlements of audit-related issues with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions with respect to which none of the issues are individually significant, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of its net unrecognized income tax benefits will decrease by approximately $15 to $30 in the next 12 months.
On January 1, 2010, various U.S. tax provisions expired, and as of June 30, 2010, the provisions have not been reinstated. These expired tax provisions do not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2010, PTPI completed the sale of an approximate 2.2% interest in PTNNT to PTIMI. To enable the transaction to proceed, the Company released its rights to the dividends payable on this 2.2% interest and released the security interest in the associated shares. The Company further agreed, however, to advance certain funds to PTIMI to enable it to purchase the interest in exchange for an assignment by PTIMI to the Company of the dividends payable on the 2.2% interest (net of withholding tax), a pledge of the shares as security on the advance, and certain voting rights and obligations. The funds that the Company advanced to PTIMI and which it paid to PTPI for the shares were used by PTPI to reduce its outstanding balance with the Company. Upon completion of this transaction, PTPI requested and was allowed to make additional draw downs under the agreement with PTPI. The Company’s economic interest in PTPI’s and PTIMI’s combined 20% interest in PTNNT remains at 17% and has not changed as a result of these transactions.
In March 2010, the Company (through NTP) completed the sale and transfer of shares for a 7% interest in PTNNT, the Indonesian subsidiary that operates Batu Hijau, to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing (“PTMDB”) in compliance with divestiture obligations under the Contract of Work, reducing NTP’s ownership interest to 56% from 63%. In 2009, the Company (through NTP) completed the sale and transfer of shares for a 17% interest in PTNNT to PTMDB in compliance with divestiture obligations under the Contract of Work, reducing NTP’s ownership interest to 63% from 80%. The 2010 and 2009 share transfers resulted in gains of approximately $16 (after tax of $33) and $63 (after tax of $115), respectively, that were recorded as Additional paid-in capital. For information on the Batu Hijau Contract of Work and divestiture requirements, see the discussion in Note 26 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2009, the Company entered into a transaction with PTPI, whereby the Company agreed to advance certain funds to PTPI in exchange for a pledge of the noncontrolling partner’s 20% share of PTNNT dividends, net of withholding tax, and certain voting rights and obligations, and a commitment from PTPI to support the application of Newmont’s standards to the operation of the Batu Hijau mine. Based on the transaction with PTPI, the Company recognized an additional 17% effective economic interest in PTNNT.
At June 30, 2010, Newmont continued to have a 48.50% effective economic interest in PTNNT. Based on the accounting guidance for variable interest entities, Newmont continues to consolidate PTNNT in its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Newmont has a 51.35% ownership interest in Minera Yanacocha SR.L. (“Yanacocha”), with the remaining interests held by Compañia de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.A. (43.65%) and the International Finance Corporation (5%).

NOTE 13 INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing income available to Newmont common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed similarly to basic income per common share except that weighted average common shares is increased to include the potential issuance of dilutive common shares.

Options to purchase 2 and 5 million shares of common stock at average exercise prices of $57 and $46 were outstanding at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
In February 2009 and July 2007, Newmont issued $518 and $1,150, respectively, of convertible notes that, if converted in the future, would have a potentially dilutive effect on the Company’s weighted average number of common shares. Under the indenture for the convertible notes, upon conversion Newmont is required to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (stock price in excess of the conversion price) in cash, shares or a combination thereof. The effect of contingently convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share is calculated under the net share settlement method. Under the net share settlement method, the Company includes the amount of shares it would take to satisfy the conversion obligation, assuming that all of the convertible notes are surrendered. The average closing price of the Company’s common stock for each of the periods presented is used as the basis for determining dilution. The average price of the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 exceeded the conversion price of $46.25 and $46.21 for the notes issued in 2009 and 2007, respectively, and therefore, 6 and 4 million additional shares were included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

In connection with the 2007 convertible senior notes offering, the Company entered into Call Spread Transactions which included the purchase of call options and the sale of warrants. As a result of the Call Spread Transactions, the conversion price of $46.21 was effectively increased to $60.27. Should the warrant transactions become dilutive to the Company’s earnings per share (if Newmont’s average share price exceeds $60.27) the underlying shares will be included in the computation of diluted income per common share.

NOTE 16 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
  Level 1   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
  Level 2   Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
  Level 3   Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s cash equivalent instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash equivalent instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The Company’s marketable equity securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The securities are segregated based on industry. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is calculated as the quoted market price of the marketable equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.
The Company’s marketable debt securities include investments in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper. The Company reviews the fair value for auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper on at least a quarterly basis. The auction rate securities are traded in markets that are not active, trade infrequently and have little price transparency. The Company estimated the fair value of the auction rate securities based on weighted average risk calculations using probabilistic cash flow assumptions. In January 2009, the investments in the Company’s asset backed commercial paper were restructured by court order. The restructuring allowed an interest distribution to be made to investors. The Company estimated the fair value of the asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return to each class of notes reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities. The auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s corporate marketable debt securities are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and as such are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s net trade receivable from provisional copper and gold concentrate sales is valued using quoted market prices based on forward curves and, as such, is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company’s derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company has fixed to floating swap contracts to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk exposure of its 8 5/8% debentures due May 2011. The hedged portion of the Company’s 8 5/8% debentures are valued using pricing models which require inputs, including risk-free interest rates and credit spreads. Because the inputs are derived from observable market data, the hedged portion of the 8 5/8% debentures is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company has recorded a contingent consideration liability related to the 2009 acquisition of the final 33.33% interest in Boddington. The value of the contingent consideration was determined using a valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales to estimate fair value. The contingent consideration liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company had no significant changes in the fair value of the Level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
NOTE 17 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling its production at spot market prices. Consequently, the Company does not hedge its gold and copper sales. Newmont continues to manage risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market. All of the cash flow and fair value derivative instruments were transacted for risk management purposes and qualify as hedging instruments. The maximum period over which hedged transactions are expected to occur is three years.
Cash Flow Hedges
The foreign currency and diesel contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and as such, the effective portion of unrealized changes in market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income and are recorded in earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Foreign Currency Contracts
Newmont utilizes foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. Newmont hedges a portion of the Company’s A$, NZ$ and IDR denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to three years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$, $/NZ$ and IDR/$ rates, respectively.

Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
At June 30, 2010, Newmont had $222 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against its 8 5/8% debentures due 2011. The interest rate swap contracts assist in managing the Company’s targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Under the hedge contract terms, Newmont receives fixed-rate interest payments at 8.63% and pays floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 7.63%. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as fair value hedges and changes in fair value have been recorded in income in each period, consistent with recording changes to the mark-to-market value of the underlying hedged liability in income.
Derivative Instrument Fair Values

Provisional Copper and Gold Sales
The Company’s provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
LME copper prices averaged $3.19 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $3.13 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.24 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2010, consistent with the Company’s recorded average provisional price per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The applicable forward copper price at the end of the second quarter was $2.96 per pound. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $79 ($0.62 per pound). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $48 ($0.17 per pound). At June 30, 2010, Newmont had copper sales of 137 million pounds priced at an average of $2.96 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.
The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,197 per ounce during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,192 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,152 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with the Company’s recorded average provisional price of $1,151 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The applicable forward gold price at the end of the second quarter was $1,245 per ounce. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $20 ($13 per ounce). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $22 ($7 per ounce). At June 30, 2010, Newmont had gold sales of 180,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,245 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.

While the fair values of these investments are below their respective cost, the Company views these declines as temporary. The Company intends to hold its investment in auction rate securities and asset backed commercial paper until maturity or such time that the market recovers and therefore considers these losses temporary.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
NOTE 26 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
The Company follows ASC guidance in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable (greater than a 75% probability) that a liability could be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
Operating Segments
The Company’s operating segments are identified in Note 3. Except as noted in this paragraph, all of the Company’s commitments and contingencies specifically described in this Note 26 relate to the Corporate and Other reportable segment. The Nevada Operations matters under Newmont USA Limited relate to the North America reportable segment. The PT Newmont Minahasa Raya matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment. The Yanacocha matters relate to the South America reportable segment. The PTNNT matters relate to the Asia Pacific reportable segment.
Environmental Matters
The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. The Company conducts its operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believes its operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. The Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures.
Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $714 and $698, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently producing mineral properties in accordance with asset retirement obligation guidance. The current portions of $33 and $36 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, are included in Other current liabilities.
In addition, the Company is involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. The Company believes that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon the Company’s best estimate of its liability for these matters, $149 and $161 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in Other current liabilities and Reclamation and remediation liabilities. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 158% greater or 3% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2010. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are recorded in Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.
Details about certain of the more significant matters involved are discussed below.
Dawn Mining Company LLC (“Dawn”) — 51% Newmont Owned
Midnite Mine Site. Dawn previously leased an open pit uranium mine, currently inactive, on the Spokane Indian Reservation in the State of Washington. The mine site is subject to regulation by agencies of the U.S. Department of Interior (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management), as well as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).

In 1991, Dawn’s mining lease at the mine was terminated. As a result, Dawn was required to file a formal mine closure and reclamation plan. The Department of Interior commenced an analysis of Dawn’s proposed plan and alternate closure and reclamation plans for the mine. Work on this analysis has been suspended indefinitely. In mid-2000, the mine was included on the National Priorities List under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). In March 2003, the EPA notified Dawn and Newmont that it had thus far expended $12 on the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) under CERCLA. In October 2005, the EPA issued the RI/FS on this property in which it indicated a preferred remedy that it estimated to cost approximately $150. Newmont and Dawn filed comments on the RI/FS with the EPA in January 2006. On October 3, 2006, the EPA issued a final Record of Decision in which it formally selected the preferred remedy identified in the RI/FS.
On January 28, 2005, the EPA filed a lawsuit against Dawn and Newmont under CERCLA in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The EPA has asserted that Dawn and Newmont are liable for reclamation or remediation work and costs at the mine. Dawn does not have sufficient funds to pay for the reclamation plan it proposed or for any alternate plan, or for any additional remediation work or costs at the mine.
On July 14, 2008, after a bench trial, the Court held Newmont liable under CERCLA as an “operator” of the Midnite Mine. The Court previously ruled on summary judgment that both the U.S. Government and Dawn were liable under CERCLA. On October 17, 2008 the Court issued its written decision in the bench trial. The Court found Dawn and Newmont jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for past and future response costs, and ruled that each of Dawn and Newmont are responsible to pay one-third of such costs. The Court also found the U.S. Government liable on Dawn’s and Newmont’s contribution claim, and ruled that the U.S. Government is responsible to pay one-third of all past and future response costs. In November 2008, all parties appealed the Court’s ruling. Also in November 2008, the EPA issued an Administrative Order pursuant to Section 106 of CERCLA ordering Dawn and Newmont to conduct water treatment, testing and other preliminary remedial actions. Newmont has initiated those preliminary remedial actions.
Newmont intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter and cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this lawsuit or the likelihood of any other action against Dawn or Newmont arising from this matter.
Dawn Mill Site. Dawn also owns a uranium mill site facility, located on private land near Ford, Washington, which is subject to state and federal regulation. In late 1999, Dawn sought and later received approval from the State of Washington for a revised closure plan that expedites the reclamation process at the site. The currently approved plan for the site is guaranteed by Newmont.
Newmont Canada Limited (“Newmont Canada”) — 100% Newmont Owned
On November 11, 2008, St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (“St. Andrew”) filed an Application in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada, seeking a declaration to clarify St. Andrew’s royalty obligations regarding certain mineral rights and property formerly owned by Newmont Canada and now owned by St. Andrew.
Newmont Canada purchased the property, called the Holt-McDermott property (“Holt Property”), from Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”) in October 2004. At that time, Newmont Canada entered into a royalty agreement with Barrick (the “Barrick Royalty”), allowing Barrick to retain a royalty on the Holt Property. In August 2006, Newmont Canada sold all of its interests in the Holt Property to Holloway Mining Company (“Holloway”) in exchange for common stock issued by Holloway. In September 2006, Newmont Canada entered into a purchase and sale agreement with St. Andrew (the “2006 Agreement”), under which St. Andrew acquired all the common stock of Holloway. In 2008, Barrick sold its Barrick Royalty to Royal Gold, Inc. (“Royal Gold”).
In the court proceedings, St. Andrew alleged that in the 2006 Agreement it only agreed to assume royalty obligations equal to 0.013% of net smelter returns from operations on the Holt Property. Such an interpretation of the 2006 Agreement would make Newmont responsible for any royalties exceeding that amount payable to Royal Gold pursuant to the Barrick Royalty. On July 23, 2009, the Court issued a decision finding in favor of St. Andrews’ interpretation. On August 21, 2009, Newmont Canada appealed the decision. Newmont Canada intends to continue to vigorously defend this matter but cannot reasonably predict the outcome.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
Newmont USA Limited — 100% Newmont Owned
Grey Eagle Mine Site. By letter dated September 3, 2002, the EPA notified Newmont that the EPA had expended $3 in response costs to address environmental conditions associated with a historic tailings pile located at the Grey Eagle Mine site near Happy Camp, California, and requested that Newmont pay those costs. The EPA has identified four potentially responsible parties, including Newmont. Newmont does not believe it has any liability for environmental conditions at the Grey Eagle Mine site, and intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.
Ross-Adams Mine Site. By letter dated June 5, 2007, the U.S. Forest Service notified Newmont that it had expended approximately $0.3 in response costs to address environmental conditions at the Ross-Adams mine in Prince of Wales, Alaska, and requested Newmont USA Limited pay those costs and perform an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) to assess what future response activities might need to be completed at the site. Newmont intends to vigorously defend any formal claims by the EPA. Newmont has agreed to perform the EE/CA. Newmont cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of any future action against it arising from this matter.
PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (“PTNMR”) — 80% Newmont Owned
On March 22, 2007, an Indonesian non-governmental organization named Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (“WALHI”) filed a civil suit against PTNMR, the Newmont subsidiary that operated the Minahasa mine in Indonesia, and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Ministry for the Environment, alleging pollution from the disposal of mine tailings into Buyat Bay, and seeking a court order requiring PTNMR to fund a 25-year monitoring program in relation to Buyat Bay. In December 2007, the court ruled in PTNMR’s favor and found that WALHI’s allegations of pollution in Buyat Bay were without merit. In March 2008, WALHI appealed this decision to the Indonesian High Court. On January 27, 2010, the Indonesian High Court upheld the December 2007 ruling in favor of PTNMR. On May 17, 2010, WALHI filed an appeal of the January 27, 2010 Indonesian High Court ruling seeking review from the Indonesian Supreme Court. The appeal by WALHI is still being processed by the district court of South Jakarta before being reviewed by the Indonesian Supreme Court. Independent sampling and testing of Buyat Bay water and fish, as well as area residents, conducted by the World Health Organization and the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, confirm that PTNMR has not polluted the Buyat Bay environment, and, therefore, has not adversely affected the fish in Buyat Bay or the health of nearby residents. The Company remains steadfast that it has not caused pollution or health problems.
Other Legal Matters
Minera Yanacocha S.R.L. (“Yanacocha”) — 51.35% Newmont Owned
Choropampa. In June 2000, a transport contractor of Yanacocha spilled approximately 151 kilograms of elemental mercury near the town of Choropampa, Peru, which is located 53 miles (85 kilometers) southwest of the Yanacocha mine. Elemental mercury is not used in Yanacocha’s operations but is a by-product of gold mining and was sold to a Lima firm for use in medical instruments and industrial applications. A comprehensive health and environmental remediation program was undertaken by Yanacocha in response to the incident. In August 2000, Yanacocha paid under protest a fine of 1,740,000 Peruvian soles (approximately $0.5) to the Peruvian government. Yanacocha has entered into settlement agreements with a number of individuals impacted by the incident. As compensation for the disruption and inconvenience caused by the incident, Yanacocha entered into agreements with and provided a variety of public works in the three communities impacted by this incident. Yanacocha cannot predict the likelihood of additional expenditures related to this matter.
Additional lawsuits relating to the Choropampa incident were filed against Yanacocha in the local courts of Cajamarca, Peru, in May 2002 by over 900 Peruvian citizens. A significant number of the plaintiffs in these lawsuits entered into settlement agreements with Yanacocha prior to filing such claims. In April 2008, the Peruvian Supreme Court upheld the validity of these settlement agreements, which should result in the dismissal of all claims brought by previously settled plaintiffs. Yanacocha has also entered into settlement agreements with approximately 350 additional plaintiffs. The claims asserted by approximately 200 plaintiffs remain. Neither Newmont nor Yanacocha can reasonably estimate the ultimate loss relating to such claims.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”) — 31.5% Newmont Direct Ownership
Under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2010, a portion of PTNNT’s shares were required to be offered for sale, first, to the Indonesian government or, second, to Indonesian nationals, equal to the difference between the following percentages and the percentage of shares already owned by the Indonesian government or Indonesian nationals (if such number is positive): 23% by March 31, 2006; 30% by March 31, 2007; 37% by March 31, 2008; 44% by March 31, 2009; and 51% by March 31, 2010. As PT Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an Indonesian national, has owned a 20% interest in PTNNT at all relevant times, in 2006, a 3% interest was required to be offered for sale and, in each of 2007 through 2010, an additional 7% interest was required to be offered (for an aggregate 31% interest). The price at which such interests were to be offered for sale to the Indonesian parties is the highest of the then-current replacement cost, the price at which shares would be accepted for listing on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, or the fair market value of such interest as a going concern, as agreed with the Indonesian government.
In accordance with the Contract of Work, an offer to sell a 3% interest was made to the Indonesian government in 2006 and an offer for an additional 7% interest was made in each of 2007, 2008 and 2009, and the offer for the final 7% interest was made in March 2010. While the central government declined to participate in the 2006 and 2007 offers, local governments in the area in which the Batu Hijau mine is located expressed interest in acquiring shares, as did various Indonesian nationals. After disagreement with the government over whether the government’s first right to purchase had expired and receipt of Notices of Default from the government claiming breach and threatening termination of the Contract of Work, on March 3, 2008, the Indonesian government filed for international arbitration as provided under the Contract of Work, as did PTNNT. In the arbitration proceeding, PTNNT sought a declaration that the Indonesian government was not entitled to terminate the Contract of Work and additional declarations pertaining to the procedures for divesting the shares. For its part, the Indonesian government sought declarations that PTNNT was in default of its divestiture obligations, that the government may terminate the Contract of Work and recover damages for breach of the Contract of Work, and that PTNNT must cause shares subject to divestiture to be sold to certain local governments.
An international arbitration panel (the “Panel”) was appointed to resolve these claims and other claims that had arisen in relation to divestment and a hearing was held in Jakarta in December 2008. On March 31, 2009, the Panel issued its final award and decision on the matter. In its decision, the Panel determined that PTNNT’s foreign shareholders had not complied with the divestiture procedure required by the Contract of Work in 2006 and 2007, but the Panel ruled that the Indonesian government was not entitled to immediately terminate the Contract of Work and rejected the Indonesian government’s claim for damages. The Panel granted PTNNT 180 days from the date of notification of the final award to transfer the 2006 3% interest and the 2007 7% interest in PTNNT to the local governments or their respective nominees. The Panel also applied a 180-day cure period to the 2008 7% interest, requiring that PTNNT offer the 2008 7% interest to the Indonesian government or its nominee within such 180-day period, and transfer such shares if, after agreement on the transfer price, the Indonesian government invoked its right of first refusal under the Contract of Work. The Panel ruled that shares offered to the Indonesian government pursuant to the Contract of Work must be offered free of any pledge or obligation to re-pledge the shares to the Senior Lenders to PTNNT. Finally, the Panel directed PTNNT to pay to the Indonesian government an allocated portion of certain legal fees and costs of the arbitration. PTNNT submitted payment of $2 for legal fees and costs. The Company also entered a formal agreement with the Senior Lenders under which the Senior Lenders released the pledge on the aggregate 31% of shares in PTNNT that were subject to divestiture requirements in exchange for the Company and Sumitomo agreeing to provide joint and several guarantees, thus allowing the Company to transfer these shares free of any pledge or obligation to re-pledge the shares to the lenders. The Company subsequently replaced this joint and several guarantee in October 2009 with letters of credit supporting 56.25% of the obligations under the PTNNT project financing facility. In February 2010, PTNNT repaid the Senior Lenders in full and the Company’s letter of credit was terminated. On July 14, 2009, the Company reached agreement with the Indonesian government on the price of the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest. PTNNT reoffered the 2008 7% interest and the 2009 7% interest to the Indonesian government at this newly agreed price. In November and December 2009, sale agreements were concluded pursuant to which the 2006, 2007 and 2008 shares were transferred to PTMDB, the nominee of the local governments, and the 2009 shares were transferred to PTMDB in February 2010, resulting in PTMDB owning a 24% interest in PTNNT. Although the Indonesian government has acknowledged that PTNNT is no longer in breach of the Contract of Work, future disputes may arise as to the final divestiture of the 2010 shares. It is uncertain who will acquire the divestiture shares in the future, and the nature of our relationship with the new owners of the 2010 shares and any future owners of the divested shares remain uncertain.

(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
As part of the negotiation of the sale agreements with PTMDB, the parties executed an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) under which each recognizes the rights of the Company and Sumitomo to apply their operating standards to the management of PTNNT’s operations, including standards for safety, environmental stewardship and community responsibility. The Operating Agreement became effective upon the completion of the sale of the 2009 shares in February 2010 and will continue for so long as the Company and Sumitomo own more shares of PTNNT than PTMDB. If the Operating Agreement terminates, then the Company may lose control over the applicable operating standards for Batu Hijau and will be at risk for operations conducted in a manner that either detracts from value or results in safety, environmental or social standards below those adhered to by the Company and Sumitomo.
In the event of any future disputes under the Contract of Work or Operating Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail in any such dispute and any termination of such contracts could result in substantial diminution in the value of the Company’s interests in PTNNT.
Additionally, in February 2010, PTNNT was notified by the tax authorities of the Indonesian government, that PTNNT may be obligated to pay value added taxes on certain goods imported after the year 2000. PTNNT believes that, pursuant to the terms of its Contract of Work, it is only required to pay value added taxes on these types of goods imported after February 28, 2010. The Company and PTNNT are working cooperatively with the applicable government authorities to resolve this matter.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with ASC income tax guidance (see Note 10).
In a 1993 asset exchange, a wholly-owned subsidiary transferred a coal lease under which the subsidiary had collected advance royalty payments totaling $484. From 1994 to 2018, remaining advance payments under the lease to the transferee total $390. In the event of title failure as stated in the lease, this subsidiary has a primary obligation to refund previously collected payments and has a secondary obligation to refund any of the $390 collected by the transferee, if the transferee fails to meet its refund obligation. The subsidiary has title insurance on the leased coal deposits of $240 covering the secondary obligation. The Company and the subsidiary regard the circumstances entitling the lessee to a refund as remote.
The Company has minimum royalty obligations on one of its producing mines in Nevada for the life of the mine. Amounts paid as a minimum royalty (where production royalties are less than the minimum obligation) in any year are recoverable in future years when the minimum royalty obligation is exceeded. Although the minimum royalty requirement may not be met in a particular year, the Company expects that over the mine life, gold production will be sufficient to meet the minimum royalty requirements. Minimum royalty payments payable are $40 in 2010, $28 in 2011 through 2014 and $266 thereafter.

NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
(dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
As part of its ongoing business and operations, the Company and its affiliates are required to provide surety bonds, bank letters of credit and bank guarantees as financial support for various purposes, including environmental reclamation, exploration permitting, workers compensation programs and other general corporate purposes. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were $982 and $1,073, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees. The surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to fees competitively determined in the market place. The obligations associated with these instruments are generally related to performance requirements that the Company addresses through its ongoing operations. As the specific requirements are met, the beneficiary of the associated instrument cancels and/or returns the instrument to the issuing entity. Certain of these instruments are associated with operating sites with long-lived assets and will remain outstanding until closure. Generally, bonding requirements associated with environmental regulation are becoming more restrictive. In addition, the surety markets for certain types of environmental bonding used by the Company have become increasingly constrained. The Company, however, believes it is in compliance with all applicable bonding obligations and will be able to satisfy future bonding requirements, through existing or alternative means, as they arise.
Newmont is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings related to its business. Except in the above-described proceedings, management does not believe that adverse decisions in any pending or threatened proceeding or that amounts that may be required to be paid by reason thereof will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 27 SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 11.8. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents income before income tax expense, equity loss of affiliates and noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, divided by interest expense. Interest expense includes amortization of capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense representative of interest. Interest expense does not include interest on income tax liabilities. The computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges can be found in Exhibit 12.1.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (dollars in millions, except per share, per ounce and per pound amounts)
The following discussion provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Newmont Mining Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Newmont,” the “Company,” “our” and “we”). We use certain non-GAAP financial performance measures in our MD&A. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this MD&A, please see the discussion under “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures” beginning on page 59. References to “A$” refer to Australian currency, “C$” to Canadian currency, “IDR” to Indonesian currency, “NZ$” to New Zealand currency and “$” to United States currency.
This item should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Overview
Newmont is one of the world’s largest gold producers and is the only gold company included in the S&P 500 Index and Fortune 500, and was the first gold company included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index-World. We are also engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold and gold/copper properties. We have significant assets or operations in the United States, Australia, Peru, Indonesia, Ghana, Canada, New Zealand and Mexico. Our vision is to be the most valued and respected mining company through industry leading performance.
On balance, our portfolio continues to perform as anticipated in 2010, with favorable operating performance in Ghana, coupled with higher metal prices, offsetting cost pressures relating to adverse foreign exchange movements, higher royalties and lower than anticipated gold ore grades experienced thus far during Boddington’s ramp-up.

    Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders of $0.78 and $1.89 per share for the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, compared to $0.33 and $0.73 per share for the same periods in 2009;
    Net cash provided from continuing operations of $1,481, an increase of 67% from the first half of 2009; and
    Adjusted net income of $377 ($0.77 per share) and $786 ($1.60 per share) for the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, up from $211 ($0.43 per share) and $409 ($0.85 per share) for the same periods in 2009 (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 59).

Consolidated Financial Results
Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the second quarter of 2010 was $382, or $0.78 per share, compared to $162, or $0.33 per share, for the second quarter of 2009. Results for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 were impacted by higher realized gold prices combined with higher gold and copper sales volumes. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders for the first half of 2010 was $928, or $1.89 per share, compared to $351, or $0.73 per share, for the first half of 2009. Results for the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 were impacted by higher realized gold and copper prices, higher sales volumes, a $127 tax benefit related to the conversion of non-U.S. entities for income tax purposes in the first quarter of 2010 and $67 million of acquisition expenses related to Boddington in 2009.

Costs applicable to sales increased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009, as detailed in the table below. The increase in Costs applicable to sales for gold is due to the addition of Boddington production as of November 2009, higher production at Batu Hijau and La Herradura and higher mining costs in Nevada related to the December 2009 geotechnical event at Gold Quarry. The increase in Costs applicable to sales for copper is due to the addition of Boddington production and higher production at Batu Hijau. Similarly, Costs applicable to sales increased in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009. The increase in Costs applicable to sales for gold is due to the addition of Boddington production, higher production at Batu Hijau, Kalgoorlie and La Herradura and higher mining costs in Nevada related to the geotechnical event at Gold Quarry. The increase in Costs applicable to sales for copper is due to the addition of Boddington production and higher production at Batu Hijau. For a complete discussion regarding variations in operations, see Results of Consolidated Operations below.
Amortization increased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009, as detailed in the table below. The increase in Amortization is due to the commencement of commercial production at Boddington in November 2009 and higher capitalized mine development in Nevada. Amortization increased in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009, as detailed in the table below. The increase in Amortization is due to the commencement of commercial production at Boddington and higher capitalized mine development in Nevada. We expect 2010 Amortization to be approximately $970 to $1,000.

Exploration expense increased $2 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 due to additional expenditures in the North America region. Exploration expense increased $4 in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 due to additional expenditures in the North America and Asia Pacific regions. Due to additional exploration at Leeville/Turf, we now expect 2010 Exploration expense to increase to approximately $220 to $245 from our previous guidance of $190 to $220.
Advanced projects, research and development expense increased $15 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to additional expenditures at Hope Bay as we evaluate a small underground operation to advance into production. Advanced projects, research and development expense increased $30 in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 due to additional expenditures for Hope Bay, corporate projects and discovery and development.

We continue to expect Advanced projects, research and development expenses to be approximately $230 to $250 in 2010.
General and administrative expenses increased by $3 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 due to higher compensation costs. General and administrative expenses increased by $9 in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 due to higher compensation and benefit costs. We expect 2010 General and administrative expenses to be approximately $160 to $170.
Other expense, net was $61 and $112 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease is due to $59 of Boddington acquisition costs incurred during the second quarter of 2009. Other expense, net was $150 and $185 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease is due to Boddington acquisition costs incurred during 2009, partially offset by additional community development at PTNNT during the first quarter 2010.
Other income, net was $44 and $9 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is primarily related to an increase in Canadian Oil Sands Trust income due to a higher declared dividend in 2010 and the sale of non-core assets. Other income, net was $92 and $18 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase is primarily related to the sale of non-core assets and an increase in Canadian Oil Sands Trust income due to a higher declared dividend in 2010.
Interest expense, net increased by $46 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 and increased by $89 in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 due to additional interest related to the 2019 and 2039 senior notes issued during the third quarter of 2009 and lower capitalized interest. Capitalized interest decreased $23 to $4 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 and decreased $36 to $6 in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 due to completion of Boddington construction in November 2009. We expect 2010 Interest expense, net to be approximately $270 to $290.

Income tax expense during the second quarter of 2010 was $273 resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.6%. Income tax expense during the second quarter of 2009 was $136 for an effective tax rate of 29.6%. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2009 to 2010 resulted from the change in the jurisdictional blend of our taxable income and the effect it has on the overall rate impact from percentage depletion and non-reoccurring discrete items in the prior quarter. Income tax expense during the first half of 2010 was $408 resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.1%. Income tax expense during the first half of 2009 was $241 for an effective tax rate of 28.5%. The decrease in the effective tax rate from 2009 to 2010 resulted from a tax benefit of $127 being recorded in the first quarter of 2010 from the conversion of non-US tax-paying entities to entities currently subject to U.S. income tax resulting in an increase in net deferred tax assets, partially offset by the change in the jurisdictional blend of the our taxable income and the effect it has on the overall rate impact from percentage depletion. The effective tax rates in the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 are different from the United States statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the above mentioned tax benefit in 2010, U.S. percentage depletion and the effect of different income tax rates in countries where earnings are indefinitely reinvested. For a complete discussion of the factors that influence our effective tax rate, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed February 25, 2010. We expect the 2010 full year tax rate to be approximately 24% to 28%, assuming an average gold price of $1,100 per ounce.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $155 in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $144 in the second quarter of 2009 as a result of increased earnings at Batu Hijau, partially offset by lower earnings at Yanacocha. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased to $352 in the first half of 2010 compared to $232 in the first half of 2009 as a result of increased earnings at Batu Hijau and Yanacocha.

Consolidated gold ounces produced increased 5% in the second quarter of 2010 from 2009 due to the start-up of Boddington and higher production in North America, partially offset by lower production in South America. Consolidated copper pounds produced increased 30% in the second quarter of 2010 from 2009 due to higher grade and throughput at Batu Hijau combined with the start-up of Boddington.
Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 16% in the second quarter of 2010 from 2009 due to higher royalties, production taxes, a higher proportion of costs allocated to gold than copper driven by higher gold prices, lower production at existing operations, combined with a stronger Australian dollar. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 33% in the second quarter of 2010 from 2009 due to higher milling costs at Batu Hijau and the addition of higher cost production from Boddington.
Consolidated gold ounces produced increased 5% in the first half of 2010 from 2009 due to the start-up of Boddington and higher production at Batu Hijau, partially offset by lower production in North America, South America and Africa. Consolidated copper pounds produced increased 57% in the first half of 2010 from 2009 due to higher grade and throughput at Batu Hijau combined with the start-up of Boddington.

Costs applicable to sales per consolidated gold ounce sold increased 14% in the first half of 2010 from 2009 due to lower production and higher mining costs in North America, lower production and higher mining and maintenance costs in South America, higher mining costs and a stronger Australian dollar in Asia Pacific and lower production and higher diesel costs in Africa. Costs applicable to sales per consolidated copper pound sold increased 7% in the first half of 2010 from 2009 due to addition of higher cost production from Boddington, partially offset by higher production at Batu Hijau.
Our 2010 guidance for consolidated gold production remains approximately 6.3 to 6.8 million ounces at a slightly narrower range of Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $460 to $480 (from previous guidance of $450 to $480 per ounce). Our Costs applicable to sales guidance for 2010 assumes an oil price of $80 per barrel and an A$ exchange rate of 0.90 for the remainder of the year. Our Costs applicable to sales per ounce for the remainder of the year are expected to change by approximately $3 for every $10 change in the oil price and by approximately $3 for every $0.10 change in the A$ exchange rate, net of existing hedges. In the event that adverse foreign exchange movements, higher gold royalties and increasing energy prices continue throughout the remainder of the year, Costs applicable to sales per ounce could be near or exceed the top end of our current 2010 guidance.
Our 2010 guidance for consolidated copper production is approximately 610 to 670 million pounds at Costs applicable to sales per pound of approximately $0.85 to $0.95.

Second quarter 2010 compared to 2009
Nevada, USA. Gold ounces produced were slightly higher as higher Midas and Leeville underground production was offset by the completion of mining activity at Deep Post in 2009 combined with lower mill throughput and leach tons placed. Mill throughput and leach tons placed were impacted by the December 2009 geotechnical event at Gold Quarry and harder ore at Phoenix. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 9% due to higher surface mining costs related to the geotechnical event at Gold Quarry. Amortization per ounce increased 21% due to higher capitalized mine development.
La Herradura, Mexico. Gold ounces produced increased 43% due to the commencement of production from the Soledad and Dipolos pits in January 2010. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 8% due to higher waste mining costs. Amortization per ounce increased 20% due to the use of additional mining equipment and leach pads.
First half 2010 compared to 2009
Nevada, USA. Gold ounces produced decreased 9% due to the completion of mining activity at Deep Post in 2009 combined with lower throughput and leach tons placed. Throughput and leach tons placed were impacted by the December 2009 geotechnical event at Gold Quarry and harder ore at Phoenix. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 15% due to lower production and the geotechnical event at Gold Quarry. Amortization per ounce increased 23% due to lower production and higher capitalized mine development.

La Herradura, Mexico. Gold ounces produced increased 51% due to the commencement of production from the Soledad and Dipolos pits in January 2010. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased slightly due to higher production, partially offset by higher waste mining costs. Amortization per ounce increased 13% due to the use of additional mining equipment and leach pads.
We expect gold production in North America of approximately 1.7 to 1.9 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $575 to $615 in 2010.

Second quarter 2010 compared to 2009
Yanacocha, Peru. Gold ounces produced decreased 32% due to lower leach tons placed related to mine sequencing and transitional ore stockpiling combined with lower mill ore grade. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 20% due to lower production, higher waste mining and maintenance costs, partially offset by higher by-product credits. Amortization per ounce increased 38% due to lower production.
First half 2010 compared to 2009
Yanacocha, Peru. Gold ounces produced decreased 24% due to higher waste mining combined with lower leach tons placed and lower mill ore grade. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 17% due to lower production, higher waste mining, maintenance and workers’ participation costs, partially offset by higher by-product credits. Amortization per ounce increased 19% due to lower production.
We expect consolidated gold production in South America of approximately 1.5 to 1.6 million ounces at Costs applicable to sales per ounce of approximately $360 to $400 in 2010.

(3)   Our economic interest in Batu Hijau was 45% in the first half of 2009. As a result of transactions with noncontrolling partners, our economic interest in Batu Hijau was 52.44% in the first quarter of 2010 and 48.50% in the second quarter of 2010. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the changes in our ownership and economic interest in Batu Hijau.
 
(4)   Gold ounces and copper pounds produced attributable to Newmont after noncontrolling interests.
Boddington, Australia. Gold and copper produced in the second quarter of 2010 were 184 thousand ounces and 15 million pounds, respectively, as Boddington continues to experience lower than anticipated gold ore grades during ramp-up to full production. Costs applicable to sales were $582 per ounce ($503 per ounce on a by-product basis; see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 59) and $1.55 per pound, respectively. Amortization was $177 per ounce and $0.40 per pound, respectively. Compared to the first quarter of 2010, gold and copper production increased 16% and 13%, respectively.
The processing plant continues to perform in line with expectations, recovery has been exceeding Feasibility Study expectations, and the high pressure grinding rolls and wet plants are performing better than anticipated. However, production has been lower than expected as the Company has encountered approximately 12% less contained gold and 23% more contained copper than originally modeled. As a result of lower gold production to date, higher direct mining costs and a stronger Australian dollar, gold production for 2010 at Boddington is now expected to be between 750,000 and 825,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales of $475 to $550 per ounce (compared with an original outlook of 800,000 to 875,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales of $375 to $395 per ounce). A stronger Australian dollar accounts for approximately 25% of the expected increase in 2010 gold operating costs, while increased mining costs account for approximately 50% and lower volume and other factors account for the remaining approximately 25%. Copper production for 2010 is expected to be between 65 and 75 million pounds at Costs applicable to sales of between $1.55 and $1.75 per pound (compared with an original outlook of between $1.30 and $1.45 per pound).
For 2011, we expect gold production at Boddington to be between 850,000 and 925,000 ounces at Costs applicable to sales of between $475 and $525 per ounce as the mine begins its first year of steady-state production. It is still too early in the ramp-up process to conclusively determine any longer-term impacts of the lower gold ore grades experienced to date (less than 2% of total reserves have been mined to date).
Second quarter 2010 compared to 2009
Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Copper and gold produced increased 17% and 41%, respectively, due to higher grade and throughput as a result of mining in the bottom of Phase 5, partially offset by lower recovery. However, mining in the bottom of Phase 5 was less than expected due to abnormally high rainfall restricting access to the mine, resulting in a higher proportion of waste mining and processing more stockpiled ore. Costs applicable to sales increased to $0.66 per pound and $294 per ounce, from $0.58 and $229, respectively, due to higher waste mining and milling costs, partially offset by higher production. A higher allocation of costs was applied to gold due to higher realized gold prices. Amortization increased 13% per pound and 31% per ounce due to equipment additions, partially offset by higher production.
Other Australia/New Zealand. Gold ounces produced decreased 3% due to lower grade as a result of ore dilution and lower mill throughput as a result of maintenance at Tanami combined with lower ore grade at Jundee, partially offset by higher ore grade at Kalgoorlie and higher mill throughput at Waihi. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 10% due to lower production and the stronger Australian dollar. Amortization per ounce decreased 10% due to higher production at Kalgoorlie and lower deferred mine development, partially offset by lower production at Jundee and Tanami.
First half 2010 compared to 2009
Batu Hijau, Indonesia. Copper and gold produced increased 43% and 87%, respectively, due to higher grade and throughput as a result of mining in the bottom of Phase 5. Costs applicable to sales decreased to $0.66 per pound and $253 per ounce, from $0.73 and $297, respectively, due to higher production and lower mining costs. Amortization per pound was consistent, while Amortization per ounce decreased 9% due to higher production, partially offset by equipment additions. In late 2010 or in 2011, we expect to complete mining the bottom of Phase 5. In 2011, we anticipate processing ore from stockpiles as mining will be primarily for waste removal in Phase 6.

Table of Contents

Other Australia/New Zealand. Gold ounces produced decreased 7% due to lower ore grade and mill throughput at Tanami and lower ore grade at Jundee, partially offset by higher ore grade at Kalgoorlie. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 12% due to lower production and the stronger Australian dollar. Amortization per ounce decreased 4% due to higher production at Kalgoorlie and lower deferred mine development, partially offset by lower production at Jundee and Tanami.
We expect 2010 consolidated gold production for Asia Pacific of approximately 2.6 to 2.8 million ounces at increased Costs applicable to sales of approximately $440 to $480 per ounce (from previous guidance of $400 to $440 per ounce). We continue to expect consolidated copper production for Asia Pacific to be approximately 610 to 670 million pounds of copper at Costs applicable to sales of approximately $0.85 to $0.95 per pound in 2010.

Second quarter 2010 compared to 2009
Ahafo, Ghana. Gold ounces produced were slightly lower as lower ore grade and recovery were offset by higher mill throughput. Costs applicable to sales per ounce decreased 3% due to lower milling costs resulting from softer ore, partially offset by higher diesel costs. Amortization per ounce increased 24% due to equipment additions.
First half 2010 compared to 2009
Ahafo, Ghana. Gold ounces produced decreased 5% due to lower grade and recovery, partially offset by higher throughput. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased 15% due to lower production and higher diesel costs, partially offset by lower milling costs. Amortization per ounce increased 19% due to lower production and equipment additions.
Due to higher than projected production in the first half of 2010, the Company now expects 2010 gold production at Ahafo of between 500,000 and 530,000 ounces (up from between 460,000 and 500,000 ounces) at Costs applicable to sales between $475 and $515 per ounce (lower than our original outlook of between $515 to $555 per ounce), based on higher volumes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Our foreign operations sell their gold and copper production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Approximately 36% and 23% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Approximately 35% and 22% of our Costs applicable to sales were paid in local currencies during the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Variations in the local currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar at our foreign mining operations increased consolidated Costs applicable to sales per ounce by approximately $12, net of hedging gains and losses, during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009 and by approximately $20 during the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Provided from Operating Activities
Net cash provided from continuing operations increased to $1,481 for the first half of 2010 from $886 for the first half of 2009 due to higher realized gold and copper prices and higher sales volumes, as discussed above in Consolidated Financial Results.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $605 during the first half of 2010 compared to $1,672 during the same period of 2009, driven largely by the 2009 Boddington acquisition and completion of the Boddington construction in the fourth quarter of 2009. Additions to property, plant and mine development were as follows:

Capital expenditures in North America are primarily related to the Hope Bay Project, the Turf/Leeville underground project, and sustaining mine development. Capital expenditures in South America are primarily related to the Conga project and leach pad development and equipment purchases at Yanacocha. The majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific are for surface and underground development, mining equipment, and infrastructure improvements. Capital expenditures in Africa are primarily related to the development of the Akyem, Amoma, and Subika Expansion projects, tailings dam construction and sustaining mine development at Ahafo. We expect 2010 capital expenditures to be approximately $1,400 to $1,600.

Table of Contents

Capital expenditures in North America during the first half of 2009 were primarily related to sustaining mine development at Nevada and the Hope Bay Project. Capital expenditures in South America primarily related to the Conga project, dewatering projects and leach pad development at Yanacocha. The vast majority of capital expenditures in Asia Pacific were for the Boddington project, (which includes 100% of expenditures for 2009) with other sustaining capital expenditures for mine development at Australia and equipment purchases at Batu Hijau. Capital expenditures in Africa primarily related to sustaining mine development at Ahafo.
Acquisitions, net. During the first half of 2009 we paid $741 (net of $1 cash acquired) and paid $8 in acquisition costs to acquire the remaining 33.33% interest in Boddington. Consideration for the acquisition also includes $240 paid in cash in December 2009 and a contingent royalty capped at $100, equal to 50% of the average realized operating margin (Revenue less Costs applicable to sales on a by-product basis), if any, exceeding $600 per ounce, payable on one-third of gold sales from Boddington beginning in the second quarter of 2010. The completion of the acquisition in June 2009 brought Newmont’s interest in Boddington to 100%. Additionally, we paid $11 for a mining property near the La Herradura, Mexico operation in the first half of 2009.
Proceeds from sale of other assets. During the first half of 2010 we received $13 from the sale of our 40% interest in AGR Matthey Joint Venture (“AGR”) and $5 for the sale of our joint venture exploration property in Armenia. We also received $34 from the sale of other assets including non-core assets held at Tanami.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided from (used in) financing activities of continuing operations was $(470) and $868 during the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Proceeds from and repayment of debt, net. During the first half of 2010, we repaid $263 of debt, including pre-payment of the $220 balance under the PTNNT project financing facility, scheduled debt repayments of $24 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant (classified as a capital lease) and $19 on other credit facilities and capital leases. At June 30, 2010, $277 of the $2,000 revolving credit facility is currently used to secure the issuance of letters of credit, primarily supporting reclamation obligations (see “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” below).
During the first half of 2009, we received proceeds from debt of $1,494, including $504 net proceeds from the issuance of convertible senior notes due in 2012, $926 under our revolving credit facility and $64 million from other credit facilities. In addition, we repaid $1,668 of debt, including $1,583 under the revolving credit facility, $43 million for the Batu Hijau project financing facility, $24 related to the sale-leaseback of the refractory ore treatment plant (classified as a capital lease) and $18 on other credit facilities and capital leases.
Scheduled minimum debt repayments are $27 for the remainder of 2010, $287 in 2011, $576 in 2012, $72 in 2013, $545 in 2014, and $3,068 thereafter. We expect to be able to fund maturities of debt from Net cash provided by operating activities, short-term investments, existing cash balances and available credit facilities.
At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all required debt covenants and other restrictions related to debt agreements.
Sale of subsidiary shares to noncontrolling interests. In March 2010, Nusa Tenggara Partnership (“NTP”) completed the sale of 7% of shares in PTNNT to a third party buyer. This transaction reduced our direct ownership interest in PTNNT to 31.5%. Cash proceeds from the sale were $229, with our 56.25% share being $129 and the balance of $100 was paid to our NTP partner.
Acquisition of subsidiary shares from noncontrolling interests. On June 25, 2010, P.T. Pukuafu Indah (“PTPI”), an unrelated noncontrolling partner of PTNNT, completed the sale of an approximately 2.2% interest in PTNNT to PT Indonesia Masbaga Investama (“PTIMI”). To enable the transaction to proceed, we released our rights to the dividends payable on this 2.2% interest and released our security interest in the associated shares. We further agreed, however, to advance certain funds to PTIMI to enable it to purchase the interest in exchange for an assignment by PTIMI to us of the dividends payable on the 2.2% interest (net of withholding tax), a pledge of the shares as security for the loan, and certain voting rights and obligations. The funds that we advanced to PTIMI and which it paid to PTPI for the shares were used by PTPI to reduce its outstanding loan balance with us. Upon completion of this transaction, PTPI requested and was allowed to make additional draw downs under our agreement with PTPI. Our economic interest in PTPI’s and PTIMI’s combined 20% interest in PTNNT remains at 17% and has not changed as a result of these transactions.

On December 22, 2009, we entered into a transaction with PTPI whereby we agreed to advance certain funds to PTPI in exchange for a pledge of the noncontrolling partner’s 20% share of PTNNT dividends, net of withholding tax, certain voting rights and obligations, and a commitment from PTPI to support the application of our standards to the operation of the Batu Hijau mine. As a result, our effective economic interest in PTNNT increased by 17%. In connection with the above transaction, we advanced additional funds to PTPI during the first half of 2010.
Dividends paid to common stockholders. We declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $0.20 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009. Additionally, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, declared regular quarterly dividends on its exchangeable shares totaling C$0.2058 per share through June 30, 2010 and C$0.2461 through June 30, 2009. We paid dividends of $98 to common stockholders in the first half of 2010 and 2009.
Dividends paid to noncontrolling interest. We paid dividends of $307 and $112 to noncontrolling interests during the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The dividends paid during the first half of 2010 included $100 for our NTP partner’s share of the sale of the 7% interest in Batu Hijau and $205 for our partners’ share of $476 in PTNNT dividends declared to date.
Proceeds from stock issuance. We received proceeds of $30 and $1,247 during the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively, from the issuance of common stock. In February 2009 we completed a public offering of 34,500,000 shares of common stock at $37.00 per share, for net proceeds of $1,236.
Discontinued Operations
Net operating cash provided from (used in) discontinued operations was $(13) and $8 in the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to the Kori Kollo operation in Bolivia, sold in 2009.
Net cash used in financing activities of discontinued operations was $2 in the first half of 2009 for repayment of debt at Kori Kollo.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have the following off-balance sheet arrangements: operating leases (as discussed in Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed on February 25, 2010), $982 of outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees (see Note 26 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and sales agreements to sell copper and gold concentrates at market prices as follows, in thousands of tons:

Environmental
Our mining and exploration activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. We conduct our operations so as to protect the public health and environment and believe our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects. We have made, and expect to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations, but cannot predict the full amount of such future expenditures. Estimated future reclamation costs are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $714 and $698, respectively, were accrued for reclamation costs relating to currently producing mineral properties.
In addition, we are involved in several matters concerning environmental obligations associated with former mining activities. Generally, these matters concern developing and implementing remediation plans at the various sites involved. We believe that the related environmental obligations associated with these sites are similar in nature with respect to the development of remediation plans, their risk profile and the compliance required to meet general environmental standards. Based upon our best estimate of our liability for these matters, $149 and $161 were accrued for such obligations at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Depending upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as much as 158% greater or 3% lower than the amount accrued at June 30, 2010. The amounts accrued for these matters are reviewed periodically based upon facts and circumstances available at the time. Changes in estimates are charged to Reclamation and remediation in the period estimates are revised.

For more information on the Company’s reclamation and remediation liabilities, see Notes 4 and 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the first half of 2010 and 2009, capital expenditures were approximately $36 and $78, respectively, to comply with environmental regulations. Ongoing costs to comply with environmental regulations have not been a significant component of operating costs.
Newmont spent $8, during the first half of 2010 and 2009, respectively, for environmental obligations related to the former, primarily historic, mining activities discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Developments
For a discussion of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted net income
Management of the Company uses Adjusted net income to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income allows investors and analysts to compare results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the production and sale of minerals to similar operating results of other mining companies, by excluding exceptional or unusual items, income or loss from discontinued operations and the permanent impairment of assets, including marketable securities and goodwill. Management’s determination of the components of Adjusted net income are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures used by mining industry analysts. Net income attributable to Newmont stockholders is reconciled to Adjusted net income as follows:

By-product costs applicable to sales
Sales and Costs applicable to sales for Boddington are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for both gold and copper due to the significant portion of copper production (approximately 15-20% of total sales based on the latest life-of-mine plan and metal price assumptions). The co-product method allocates costs applicable to sales to each metal based on specifically identifiable costs where applicable and on a relative proportion of sales values for other costs. Management also assesses the performance of the Boddington mine on a by-product basis due to the majority of sales being derived from gold and to determine contingent consideration payments to AngloGold. The by-product method deducts copper sales margin from costs applicable to sales as shown in the following table:

However, our 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 those forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements (“cautionary statements”) are disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the Newmont Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are beyond Newmont’s ability to control or predict. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(dollars in millions, except per ounce and per pound amounts).
Metal Prices
Changes in the market price of gold significantly affect our profitability and cash flow. Gold prices can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as demand; forward selling by producers; central bank sales, purchases and lending; investor sentiment; the strength of the U.S. dollar; inflation, deflation, or other general price instability; and global mine production levels. Changes in the market price of copper also affect our profitability and cash flow. Copper is traded on established international exchanges and copper prices generally reflect market supply and demand, but can also be influenced by speculative trading in the commodity or by currency exchange rates.
Hedging
Our strategy is to provide shareholders with leverage to changes in gold and copper prices by selling our production at spot market prices. Consequently, we do not hedge our gold and copper sales. We continue to manage risks associated with commodity input costs, interest rates and foreign currencies using the derivative market.
By using derivatives, we are affected by credit risk, market risk and market liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. We mitigate credit risk by entering into derivatives with high credit quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a derivative might be adversely affected by a change in underlying commodity prices, interest rates, or currency exchange rates, and that this in turn affects our financial condition. We manage market risk by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. We mitigate this risk by establishing trading agreements with counterparties under which we are not required to post any collateral or make any margin calls on our derivatives. Our counterparties cannot require settlement solely because of an adverse change in the fair value of a derivative. Market liquidity risk is the risk that a derivative cannot be eliminated quickly, by either liquidating it or by establishing an offsetting position. Under the terms of our trading agreements, counterparties cannot require us to immediately settle outstanding derivatives, except upon the occurrence of customary events of default such as covenant breeches, including financial covenants, insolvency or bankruptcy. We generally mitigate market liquidity risk by spreading out the maturity of our derivatives over time.
Cash Flow Hedges
We utilize foreign currency contracts to reduce the variability of the US dollar amount of forecasted foreign currency expenditures caused by changes in exchange rates. We hedge a portion of our A$, NZ$ and IDR denominated operating expenditures which results in a blended rate realized each period. The hedging instruments are fixed forward contracts with expiration dates ranging up to three years from the date of issue. The principal hedging objective is reduction in the volatility of realized period-on-period $/A$, $/NZ$ and IDR/$ rates, respectively. We use diesel contracts to reduce the variability of our operating cost exposure related to diesel prices of fuel consumed at our Nevada operations. All of the currency and diesel contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future expenditures, and as such, changes in the market value have been recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2010, we had $222 fixed to floating swap contracts designated as a hedge against our 8 5/8% debentures due 2011. The interest rate swap contracts assist in managing our targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Under the hedge contract terms, we receive fixed-rate interest payments at 8.63% and pay floating-rate interest amounts based on periodic London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings plus a spread, ranging from 2.60% to 7.63%. The interest rate swap contracts were designated as fair value hedges and changes in fair value have been recorded in income in each period, consistent with recording changes to the mark-to-market value of the underlying hedged liability in income. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $5 and $7 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk
Our provisional copper and gold sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the gold and copper concentrates at the prevailing indices’ prices at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.
LME copper prices averaged $3.19 per pound during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $3.13 per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. LME copper prices averaged $3.24 per pound during the six months ended June 30, 2010, consistent with our recorded average provisional price per pound before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The applicable forward copper price at the end of the second quarter was $2.96 per pound. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $79 ($0.62 per pound). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, changes in copper prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market loss of $48 ($0.17 per pound). At June 30, 2010, we had copper sales of 137 million pounds priced at an average of $2.96 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months.
The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,197 per ounce during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $1,192 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The average London P.M. fix for gold was $1,152 per ounce during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with our recorded average provisional price of $1,151 per ounce before mark-to-market gains and treatment and refining charges. The applicable forward gold price at the end of the second quarter was $1,245 per ounce. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $20 ($13 per ounce). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, changes in gold prices resulted in a provisional pricing mark-to-market gain of $22 ($7 per ounce). At June 30, 2010, we had gold sales of 180,000 ounces priced at an average of $1,245 per ounce, subject to final pricing over the next several months.
