This constitutes  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 4 to Registration  Statement No.
333-50516.  This statement is made pursuant to Rule 414(d) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
================================================================================

          On February 15, 2002, Delta Acquisitionco  Corp., at the time a direct
wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Holdco Corp.  ("Holdco") and an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation ("Old Newmont"),  was merged into
Old  Newmont  (the  "Reorganization"),  with Old  Newmont  being  the  surviving
corporation.  As a result of the  Reorganization,  Old  Newmont  became a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of Holdco.  In  connection  with the  Reorganization,  Holdco
changed its name to "Newmont  Mining  Corporation"  and Old Newmont  changed its
name to "Newmont USA  Limited".  Pursuant to the  Reorganization,  shares of Old
Newmont common stock were exchanged for shares of common stock of Holdco.

          Pursuant to Rule 414(d) under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended
(the  "Securities  Act"),  Holdco  hereby  expressly  adopts as its own, for all
purposes of the  Securities  Act and the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as
amended, the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-50516) previously filed
by Old Newmont relating to the Plans indicated:

          Battle Mountain Gold Company 1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended
          and Restated)
          Battle Mountain Gold Company Nonqualified Stock Option Plan for

          Options Granted Pursuant to the Combination Agreement between Battle
          Mountain Gold Company and Hemlo Gold Mines, Inc.
          Hemlo Gold Mines Inc. Stock Option Plan
          Battle Mountain Gold Company 1988 Deferred Income Stock Option Plan
          Battle Mountain Gold Company 1985 Stock Option Plan
          Battle Mountain Canada Ltd. 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Accordingly,  the shares of common  stock to be issued  under that  Registration
Statement shall be shares of common stock of Holdco.
