Newmont Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $397 Million ($0.88 Per Share)
DENVER, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) today announced third quarter financial and operating results. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $397 million ($0.88 per share), compared with net income of $198 million ($0.44 per share) for the third quarter of 2006. Net income during the third quarter of 2007 benefited from a change in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets associated with foreign tax credits ($84 million) and the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture settlement ($54 million after-tax). Richard O'Brien, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "With the benefit of higher metal prices as well as a strong performance from the majority of our operations, we earned $0.88 per share for the quarter, a 100% increase over the year ago quarter, and generated approximately $520 million in cash from continuing operations. As we maintain our focus on operational execution, we continue to address the issues in Nevada, including challenges at Phoenix and the slower than anticipated reopening of our Midas mine. With three months remaining in the year, we are narrowing our outlook for equity gold sales to between 5.2 and 5.4 million ounces at costs applicable to sales of between $400 and $430 per ounce for 2007. Additionally, we continue to make substantial progress on our development projects, including Boddington in Australia, the gold mill at Yanacocha and the power plant in Nevada. And earlier this month, we announced an offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Miramar Mining Corporation in a friendly transaction, giving us the opportunity to establish a new, core mining district in the Nunavut Territory of Canada with tremendous exploration potential. With these efforts, we continue to work toward achieving our goal of providing our shareholders with a sustainable and profitable production base, while optimizing leverage to the gold price."

Nevada Operating Performance and Outlook Equity gold sales in Nevada increased 5% in the third quarter of 2007 to 583,000 ounces from 555,000 ounces in the year ago quarter. Gold sales increased as both Leeville and Phoenix were in commercial production for the entire third quarter of 2007 compared to the year ago quarter, offset by the suspension of operations at Midas in June 2007 and the completion of mining at Lone Tree in 2006. Open pit ore mined increased 22% to 11.0 million tons in the third quarter of 2007, up from 9.0 million tons in the year ago quarter, primarily due to commercial production at Phoenix. Underground ore mined increased 4% in the third quarter of 2007 due to commencement of commercial production at Leeville. Ore milled increased 67% to 6.5 million tons from 3.9 million tons in the year ago quarter, while milled ore grade decreased 30% during the same period, both driven by the processing of lower grade ore from Phoenix. Ore placed on leach pads decreased 20% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the year ago quarter, primarily as a result of mine sequencing at Gold Quarry and the completion of mining at Lone Tree. Leach ore grade increased 36% from the year ago quarter due to recent access to higher grade ore at Twin Creeks. The Lone Tree mill continued to process during the third quarter, with ore hauled from Twin Creeks, and is expected to continue to process ore for the remainder of 2007. Based on the results of the first nine months of 2007, the Company has narrowed the expected range for equity gold sales in Nevada from between 2.3 and 2.6 million ounces to between 2.3 and 2.4 million ounces for 2007. This range primarily reflects the impact of continuing challenges at Phoenix and the suspension of operations at Midas. On October 11, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) lifted the restrictive order that required Midas to halt mining activities in June 2007. As a result, limited mining activities at Midas have resumed, and the Company expects Midas to ramp-up to historical production levels by early 2008. Costs applicable to sales decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2007 to $426 per ounce from $428 per ounce in the year ago quarter. Unit costs remained steady as the impact of higher cost production at Phoenix and the suspension of lower cost operations at Midas were offset by lower surface mining costs. Based on the costs applicable to sales incurred through the end of the third quarter of 2007, continued oil price escalation and lower than expected production from Phoenix and Midas, the Company has increased Nevada's cost applicable to sales outlook for the year from between $400 and $440 per ounce to between $430 and $460 per ounce. Phoenix Update The focus at Phoenix during the third quarter of 2007 was continued progress on optimization projects. The in-fill drill program has drilled one- third of the overall planned footage, with 46 of the 183 planned drill holes completed. Mining rates continued to improve, with September providing the highest monthly production to date. The sustainable improvements in productivity were driven largely by favorable improvements in rock fragmentation as well as new haul trucks being added to the fleet during the third quarter. Mill capacity utilization exceeded 90% during the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, the new crusher remains on schedule for start-up by mid-2008 and was approximately 21% complete at the end of the third quarter. Phoenix produced 46,000 ounces at costs applicable to sales of $605 per ounce and 133,000 ounces at costs applicable to sales of $743 per ounce for the three and nine NEWMONT - Q3 2007 RESULTS (October 31, 2007) Page 3 of 21 months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company expects a final optimization plan for Phoenix by mid-2008. Nevada Capital Projects Capital expenditures in Nevada were $176 million and $453 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company has increased its expected range for 2007 from between $560 and $630 million to between $620 and $650 million. The remaining spending during the fourth quarter of 2007 primarily relates to the construction of the power plant. Construction of the 200 megawatt coal-fired power plant was approximately 82% complete at the end of the third quarter and remains on schedule for completion in the first half of 2008. Major milestones met during the third quarter of 2007 include successful boiler hydro-testing and the first coal delivery. Capital costs for the project are expected to be towards the higher end of the previous outlook of between $620 and $640 million. As disclosed previously, the lower cost of self-generated electricity, when compared with projected future market prices in the region, is expected to reduce Nevada's costs applicable to sales by approximately $25 per ounce.

Yanacocha Operating Performance and Outlook Equity gold sales at Yanacocha decreased in the third quarter of 2007 to 185,000 ounces from 297,000 ounces in the year ago quarter, in line with expectations. Gold production in the third quarter of 2006 benefited from higher grade and tons placed on leach pads during the first half of 2006 as compared to 2007, resulting in lower production in the third quarter of 2007. Ore mined decreased 7% to 28.7 million tons in the third quarter of 2007 from 31.0 million tons in the year ago quarter, while leach ore grade increased by 17% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the year ago quarter. The Company continues to expect equity gold sales of between 775,000 and 825,000 ounces for 2007. Costs applicable to sales increased in the third quarter of 2007 to $358 per ounce from $210 per ounce in the year ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to lower production, which impacted unit costs by approximately $120 per ounce, as well as higher labor, diesel, and mine maintenance costs. The Company continues to expect costs applicable to sales for the year toward the lower end of the range of $340 to $360 per ounce. Yanacocha Capital Projects Consolidated capital expenditures at Yanacocha were $67 million and $181 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company has reduced Yanacocha's expected consolidated capital expenditures for the year from between $310 and $340 million to between $280 and $300 million. Progress on the gold mill continues as expected, with construction approximately 85% complete at the end of the third quarter. Major milestones of final mill delivery and commencement of operational training were met during the quarter. The Company continues to anticipate commercial production in the first half of 2008. Capital costs on the project are expected to remain in-line with the previous outlook of between $250 and $270 million. Once complete, the gold mill is expected to enhance recovery of complex ores, improve financial returns and extend the operating life at Yanacocha.

Australia/New Zealand Operating Performance and Outlook Australia/New Zealand sales decreased 10% in the third quarter of 2007 to 319,000 ounces from 355,000 ounces in the year ago quarter, primarily due to decreased production at Tanami, Jundee, Pajingo and Waihi. Gold sales at Jundee decreased 13% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 2006, primarily due to a 27% decrease in mill throughput, partially offset by 21% higher ore grade. Gold sales at Pajingo decreased 12% in the third quarter of 2007 from 2006 due to a 19% decrease in mill ore grade. Gold sales at Waihi decreased 34% in the third quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to decreased open pit ore grade, partially offset by higher underground ore grade. Gold sales at Tanami decreased 10% in the third quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to the timing of sales. Gold ounces produced at Tanami were marginally lower as mill ore grade decreased 9% from the blending of low grade stockpiles, partially offset by a 5% increase in mill throughput. Gold sales at Kalgoorlie increased 4% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the year ago quarter, primarily due to a 3% increase in mill throughput and the sale of inventories. The Company continues to expect equity gold sales in Australia/New Zealand of between 1.275 and 1.325 million ounces for 2007. Costs applicable to sales increased 28% in the third quarter of 2007 to $480 per ounce from $376 per ounce in the year ago quarter, primarily due to the strengthening Australian dollar exchange rate, which increased Australia/New Zealand unit costs by approximately $49 per ounce compared to the year ago quarter, and lower production in the third quarter of 2007. Additionally, royalties increased due to higher gold prices and input costs were higher, particularly related to fuel, electricity and labor. The following quarter on quarter costs applicable to sales variances include the impact of the strengthening Australian and New Zealand dollars. Costs applicable to sales increased 24% at Jundee from $349 per ounce to $433 per ounce, primarily due to lower production and higher contract mining and electricity costs. At Waihi, costs applicable to sales increased 95% from $273 per ounce to $531 per ounce, primarily due to decreased gold production and higher costs at the Favona underground operation compared to the lower cost open pit production in the year ago quarter. Costs applicable to sales at Kalgoorlie increased 27% from $481 per ounce to $609 per ounce, primarily due to higher milling costs as a result of processing higher sulfur grades. At Tanami, costs applicable to sales increased 14% from $379 per ounce to $431 per ounce, primarily due to increased milling costs related to additional cyanide destruction. Costs applicable to sales at Pajingo increased 25% from $318 per ounce in the year ago quarter to $398 per ounce in the third quarter of 2007, primarily due to lower production and increased maintenance and labor costs. Access to the Jandam ore body at Pajingo in the third quarter of 2006 resulted in significantly higher tons and grades in 2006, resulting in higher production compared to the third quarter of 2007. Based on current mine plans, Pajingo is approaching the end of its mine life, with operations expected to be completed in the first half of 2008. The Company has revised its costs applicable to sales outlook for Australia/New Zealand for the year from between $490 and $515 per ounce to between $500 and $525 per ounce, reflecting the previously disclosed adverse impact of the Australian dollar exchange rate appreciating above 0.80, as well as continued oil price escalation. For every 0.01 move in the Australian exchange rate during the fourth quarter, costs applicable to sales for the entire year are expected to change by approximately $1-$2 per ounce above the mid-point of the Australia/New Zealand outlook, based on an assumed average exchange rate of 0.80. Australia/New Zealand Capital Projects Capital expenditures in Australia/New Zealand were $144 million and $371 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Including the impact of the strengthening Australian dollar, the Company has reduced its expected capital spending for the year from between $675 and $730 million to between $650 and $700 NEWMONT - Q3 2007 RESULTS (October 31, 2007) million. Capital expenditures in Australia for the fourth quarter of 2007 are expected to change by roughly $3 million for every 0.01 move in the Australian dollar exchange rate above an average exchange rate of 0.80. Development of the Boddington project was approximately 50% complete at the end of September 2007, with start-up still expected in late 2008 or early 2009. The Company is in the process of completing a definitive estimate to update the Boddington capital costs, including the adverse impact of the strengthening Australian dollar exchange rate. This definitive estimate is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2008.

Batu Hijau Operating Performance and Outlook Equity gold and copper sales at Batu Hijau increased substantially in the third quarter of 2007 to 90,000 ounces and 74 million pounds, respectively, from 31,000 ounces and 48 million pounds, respectively, in the year ago quarter. Higher gold and copper production compared to the year ago quarter was primarily due to processing significantly higher ore grades during the quarter as dryer weather conditions allowed increased mining in Phase 4 at the bottom of the pit. Mill throughput and copper and gold recoveries also increased as a result of processing softer, higher grade ore. Total tons mined decreased by 25% from the year ago quarter, primarily due to longer hauling distances. The Company continues to expect equity gold and copper sales of between 210,000 and 230,000 ounces and 190 and 210 million pounds, respectively, in 2007. Total costs applicable to sales increased $57 million from the year ago quarter, primarily due to less stockpiling of ore in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the year ago quarter. In the year ago quarter, additional ore was stockpiled to feed the mill while mining operations concentrated on stripping waste. Total spending on operations before stockpile allocations remained unchanged in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the year ago quarter. Costs applicable to sales per unit decreased 49% per ounce of gold and 7% per pound of copper in the third quarter of 2007 from 2006, due to increased production compared to the year ago quarter. Additionally, a higher proportion of costs were allocated to copper than gold due to the significantly higher proportion of copper revenue in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the year ago quarter. The Company continues to expect costs applicable to sales to remain between $225 and $240 per ounce of gold and between $1.10 and $1.20 per pound of copper for 2007. The average realized copper price, after treatment and refining charges, increased to $3.34 per pound from $1.04 per pound in the year ago quarter, as copper sales were completely unhedged in the third quarter of 2007. Batu Hijau Capital Projects Consolidated capital expenditures at Batu Hijau were $19 million and $43 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company has lowered its expected consolidated capital expenditures at Batu Hijau for the year from between $140 and $150 million to between $100 and $110 million.

Ahafo Operating Performance and Outlook Gold ounces sold at Ahafo increased 45% in the third quarter of 2007 to 113,000 ounces from 78,000 ounces in the year ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to a full quarter of operations in 2007, as Ahafo commenced commercial operations in August 2006. During the first nine months of 2007, the Company realized better than expected ore grades and mill recovery rates, which resulted in higher than expected production at Ahafo. Mill ore grades were higher than expected due to ore control improvement programs implemented during the year. Increased mill recoveries were a result of higher than expected yields from the transitional ore mined at the Apensu deposit. As a result, the Company has narrowed its expected gold sales outlook for 2007 from between 410,000 and 450,000 ounces to between 425,000 and 450,000 ounces. Costs applicable to sales at Ahafo increased 81% to $455 per ounce in the third quarter of 2007 from $251 per ounce in the year ago quarter, primarily due to increased mining and milling costs. Mining costs increased due to higher waste removal costs as well as the year ago quarter benefiting from the capitalization of pre-production costs and lower maintenance activities. In addition, mining costs increased due to increased pit dewatering, labor, fuel and tire costs. Milling costs increased compared to the year ago quarter due to higher cost diesel generated electricity as a result of power rationing in Ghana, as well as increased maintenance costs. Costs applicable to sales during the first nine months of 2007 were $391 per ounce, primarily due to better than expected power availability from the national grid, which resulted in lower power generation costs than originally expected. Based on the results of the first nine months of 2007 and the potential opportunity for continued power supply from the national grid during the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company has reduced its costs applicable to sales outlook for the year from between $460 and $500 per ounce to between $400 and $430 per ounce. Ghana Capital Projects Capital expenditures in Ghana were $38 million and $94 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company has reduced its expected capital expenditures in Ghana for the year from between $180 and $200 million to between $130 and $160 million.

Other Operations Performance and Outlook Equity gold sales for the Kori Kollo mine in Bolivia, the La Herradura mine in Mexico, and the Golden Giant mine in Canada decreased to 36,000 ounces in the third quarter of 2007 from 55,000 ounces in the year ago quarter, primarily due to the completion of mining at Golden Giant and lower production at Kori Kollo. Equity gold sales at Kori Kollo decreased 31% in the third quarter of 2007 from 2006, primarily due to the timing of production flow from the leach pad. La Herradura gold sales decreased 10% in the third quarter of 2007 from the year ago quarter, primarily due to higher inventory sales in the year ago quarter. Gold ounces produced at La Herradura in the third quarter of 2007 were consistent with the year ago quarter. The Company continues to expect equity gold sales of between 180,000 and 200,000 ounces in 2007 from its other operations. Costs applicable to sales increased in the third quarter of 2007 to $378 per ounce from $173 per ounce in the year ago quarter. Costs applicable to sales per ounce increased significantly at Kori Kollo in the third quarter of 2007, primarily due to higher production taxes and lower production compared to the year ago quarter. Costs applicable to sales increased 51% at La Herradura, primarily due to increased waste removal costs. The Company continues to expect costs applicable to sales of between $310 and $330 per ounce for its other operations. CAPITAL, TAX RATE AND OTHER Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2007 were $449 million, primarily for the construction of the power plant and sustaining mine development in Nevada ($176 million), construction of the gold mill and leach pad expansions at Yanacocha in Peru ($67 million), construction of the Boddington project and other sustaining mine development in Australia/New Zealand ($144 million), as well as sustaining mine development in Ghana ($38 million). The Company has revised its expected consolidated capital expenditures from between $1.8 and $2.0 billion to between $1.7 and $1.9 billion for 2007. The Company expensed $176 million of depreciation, depletion and amortization during the third quarter of 2007, and has revised its expected depreciation, depletion and amortization for the year from approximately $750 to $800 million to approximately $700 to $750 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 14% compared to 53% in the year ago quarter. The Company has revised the expected 2007 tax rate from between 42% and 47% to between 24% and 30%, primarily due to the favorable change related to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets associated with foreign tax credits. The Company incurred $40 million of general and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2007, and has revised anticipated expenses from between $155 and $165 million to between $160 and $170 million for the year. Including $28 million of net interest expense during the third quarter of 2007, the Company has revised its expected net interest expense from between $95 and $105 to between $85 and $95 million for the year. Including $16 million of advanced projects, research and development expenditures during the third quarter of 2007, as well as a change in classification of certain expenditures to exploration, the Company has reduced its expected advanced projects, research and development expenditures from between $85 and $100 million to between $65 and $80 million for the year. EXPLORATION REVIEW Exploration efforts continued as planned during the third quarter, with expenditures of $47 million and $132 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company has increased its expected exploration expenditures for the year from between $170 and $175 million to between $180 and $185 million, as a result of a change in classification for certain expenditures from advanced projects, research and development to exploration. As previously announced, we expect reserve replacement through exploration alone to be challenged in 2007, with new, large-scale deposits becoming increasingly scarce. In spite of these challenges, the Company's exploration team continues to aggressively cover an extensive land position in many of the World's premier gold belts. Exploration programs in North America focus primarily on near mine potential in Nevada on the Carlin Trend, Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend and the Northern Nevada Rift. The current year's surface and underground drill programs are nearing completion, and remain primarily focused on reserve definition. South American exploration is focused on near mine programs at Yanacocha in Peru, as well as greenfield projects in the Guiana Shield and the Andes in Peru. The expected spending in South America for the year was increased from $34 million to approximately $42 million due to success at the Nassau Joint Venture in Suriname, where in-fill drilling continued at the Merian II and Maraba discoveries. The Australia/New Zealand exploration programs for the year have focused on development drilling at Boddington, Jundee and Martha, as well as reserve and non-reserve mineralization drilling at the Callie deposit in the Tanami. Drill programs at Ahafo continued exploring reserve and non-reserve mineralization expansions at depth as well as other potential underground targets. Additionally, the Ghanaian regional exploration program has focused on target definition in the Sefwi and Ashanti Belts.
