On July 11, 2008, PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (“PTNNT”), an indirect subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, issued a news release announcing that on July 10, 2008, PTNNT filed a notice to commence an additional international arbitration proceeding, as provided for under its Contract of Work with the Government of Indonesia, to resolve a claim that PTNNT breached its obligations under its Contract of Work by allowing its shares to be pledged to its senior lenders, a common practice for the financing of large projects. PTNNT views the additional arbitration proceeding as an extension of an ongoing arbitration proceeding with the Government of Indonesia, and has proposed that the share pledge issue be incorporated into and resolved as part of the existing proceeding. A copy of PTNNT’s news release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
