NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
Newmont Mining Corporation's original predecessor corporation was
incorporated in 1921 under the laws of Delaware. On February 13, 2002, at a
special meeting of the stockholders of Newmont, stockholders approved adoption
of an Agreement and Plan of Merger that provided for a restructuring of Newmont
to facilitate the February 2002 acquisitions described below and to create a
more flexible corporate structure. Newmont merged with an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary, which resulted in Newmont becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary
of a new holding company. The new holding company was renamed Newmont Mining
Corporation. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements of
Newmont as a result of this restructuring and former stockholders of Newmont
became stockholders of the new holding company. In this prospectus, "Newmont"
and "we" refer to Newmont Mining Corporation and/or our affiliates and
subsidiaries.
On February 16, 2002, Newmont completed the acquisition of Franco-Nevada
Mining Corporation Limited, a Canadian company, pursuant to a Plan of
Arrangement. As a result, Franco-Nevada became a subsidiary of Newmont and
subsequently changed its name to Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited.
On February 20, 2002, Newmont gained control of Normandy Mining Limited, an
Australian company, through an off-market bid for all of the ordinary shares of
Normandy. On February 26, 2002, when Newmont's off-market bid for Normandy
expired, Newmont had a relevant interest in more than 96% of Normandy's
outstanding shares. Subsequently, Newmont exercised its compulsory acquisition
rights under Australian law to acquire all of the shares of Normandy.
We are engaged in the production of gold, the exploration for gold and the
acquisition and development of gold properties worldwide. We produce gold from
operations in North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia,
Uzbekistan and Turkey. We are also engaged in the production of, and exploration
for, silver, copper and zinc.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1700 Lincoln Street, Denver,
Colorado 80203 and our telephone number is (303) 863-7414.
RISK FACTORS
Investment in our common stock is subject to risks and uncertainties. For a

fiscal year, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Exchange Act of 1934 and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided
for under those sections. Our forward-looking statements include estimates of
future production, capital expenditures and other costs and expenses, reserve

fluctuations, higher than anticipated production costs, potential environmental
liabilities, uncertainty in proven and probable gold reserves and political and
economic risks in the countries in which we operate, as well as the other
factors described in Item 1A entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for our most recently completed fiscal year, which is incorporated by
reference into this prospectus. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned

forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
the document, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as

THE ACQUISITION OF FRANCO-NEVADA
On February 16, 2002, Newmont completed its acquisition of Franco-Nevada
Mining Corporation of Canada Limited pursuant to an arrangement agreement, dated
as of November 14, 2001. Pursuant to the arrangement agreement, each
Franco-Nevada common shareholder received in exchange for each Franco-Nevada
common share either: (1) 0.80 of an exchangeable share of Franco-Nevada
(exchangeable for Newmont common stock) or (2) 0.80 of a share of Newmont common
stock. Franco-Nevada became a subsidiary of Newmont and subsequently changed its
name to Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The shares of common stock will be issued to holders of the Class A
Warrants and the Class B Warrants upon exercise of those Warrants and payment of
the relevant exercise price. Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited will
receive the exercise price paid in connection with each exercise of the Class A
Warrants and Class B Warrants and will use the aggregate proceeds for general
corporate purposes.
DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS
The following is a summary of the terms of the Warrants relating to the
exercise rights of those Warrants, as well as other material terms of the
Warrants. For additional information regarding the Warrants, please refer to the
warrant agreements under which the Warrants were issued. Copies of the warrant
agreements can be obtained from Newmont.
The Class A Warrants were issued pursuant to the warrant agreements dated
as of September 15, 1993 and February 11, 1998, as amended and supplemented,
each between Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation Limited and Computershare Trust
Company of Canada (formerly Montreal Trust Company of Canada), as agent. The
Class B Warrants were issued pursuant to the warrant agreements dated as of
November 12, 1993 and January 8, 1999, as
-4-
amended and supplemented, each between Euro-Nevada Mining Corporation Limited
and Computershare, as agent. As of April 14, 2003, 2,246,336 Class A Warrants
were outstanding and 2,133,751 Class B Warrants were outstanding.
As a result of our acquisition of Franco-Nevada, the Warrants are
exercisable at any time into shares of our common stock. Each Class A Warrant is
exercisable for 3.2 shares of our common stock upon surrender of one Warrant and
C$200, subject to adjustment. Each Class B Warrant is exercisable for 2.464
shares of our common stock upon surrender of one Warrant and C$100, subject to
adjustment. The Warrants may be exercised at any time. The Class A Warrants
expire on September 15, 2003. The Class B Warrants expire on November 12, 2003.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION
CAPITAL STOCK
Your rights as a stockholder of Newmont will be governed by Delaware law,
our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws. The following is a summary of
the material terms of our capital stock. For additional information regarding
our capital stock, please refer to the applicable provisions of Delaware law,
our certificate of incorporation and by-laws and the rights agreement, dated as
of February 13, 2002, between us and Mellon Investor Services LLC, as rights
agent, relating to rights to purchase shares of our series A junior
participating preferred stock. Copies of our certificate of incorporation, our
by-laws and our rights agreement are exhibits to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part.
As of March 5, 2003, we had 755,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock.
Those shares consisted of:
o 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $5.00 per share, of
which one share of special voting stock was outstanding; and
o 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.60 per share, of
which (1) 353,498,884 shares were outstanding, including shares
evidenced by Australian CHESS depositary interests which represent
beneficial ownership of shares of common stock of Newmont on a
ten-for-one basis, and (2) 48,434,773 shares were issuable upon
conversion of the exchangeable shares of Newmont Mining Corporation of
Canada Limited (formerly known as Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation
Limited) which were issued in connection with our acquisition of
Franco-Nevada, have economic rights equivalent to those of our common
stock and are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis with shares of our
common stock.
The holder of the outstanding share of special voting stock exercises the
voting and other rights attached to the share as trustee for and on behalf of
the registered holders of outstanding shares of the exchangeable shares.
Common Stock
The following is a summary of the terms of our common stock. For additional
information regarding our common stock, please refer to our certificate of
incorporation, our by-laws and the applicable provisions of Delaware law.
-5-
Dividend Rights
Holders of our common stock may receive dividends when, as and if declared
by our Board out of funds of Newmont legally available for the payment of
dividends. Subject to the terms of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of
our common stock may not receive dividends until we have satisfied our
obligations to any holders of our preferred stock.
As a Delaware corporation, we may pay dividends out of surplus or, if there
is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which a dividend is
declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Section 170 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law also provides that dividends may not be paid out of net profits
if, after the payment of the dividend, capital is less than the capital
represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the
distribution of assets.
Currently, we pay dividends on our common stock each quarter. The
determination of the amount and timing of future dividends will be made by our
Board of Directors from time to time and will depend on our future earnings,
capital requirements, financial conditions and other relevant factors.
Voting and Other Rights
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share and, in
general, a majority of votes cast with respect to a matter will be sufficient to
authorize action upon routine matters.
Holders of shares of our special voting share are entitled to vote, as a
single class, together with the holders of shares of our common stock on all
matters on which our stockholders are entitled to vote. The holders of record of
a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at
the meeting of our stockholders must be present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting in order to constitute a quorum for all matters to come
before the meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum,
"shares of our capital stock" includes shares of our common stock (including
shares represented by Australian CHESS depositary interests), as well as the
maximum number of shares of our common stock that the holder of the special
voting share is entitled to vote at the meeting on behalf of the holders of the
outstanding exchangeable shares. For additional information regarding our
special voting share, please see the discussion in "-- Special Voting Stock"
beginning on page 9 of this prospectus.
Special meetings of our stockholders may be called by our Board of
Directors or by the Chairman of the Board or by our President, and will be
called by the Chairman of the Board or by our President or Secretary upon a
written request stating the purposes of the proposed meeting and signed by a
majority of our Board of Directors or stockholders owning at least 25% of our
outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at the meeting.
Written notice of a meeting of our stockholders is given personally or by
mail, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date on which the
meeting is held, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
The notice must state the time, place and purposes of the meeting. In the event
of a special meeting called upon the written request of our
-6-
stockholders, the notice will describe any business set forth in the statement
of purpose in the written stockholder request, as well as any additional
business that our Board of Directors proposes to be conducted at the meeting. If
mailed, the notice will be sent to our stockholders at their respective
addresses appearing on our stock records or to such other addresses as they may
designate in writing, and will be deemed given when mailed. A waiver of any
notice, signed by a stockholder before or after the time for the meeting, will
be deemed equivalent to that stockholder having received the notice.
Our Board of Directors is not classified. Directors are to be elected by a
plurality of those shares of our capital stock present and entitled to vote at a
meeting of stockholders, and our stockholders do not have the right to cumulate
their votes in the election of directors.
Liquidation
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Newmont,
holders of our common stock would be entitled to receive proportionately any
assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders with respect to
shares held by them, subject to any prior rights of the holders of any of our
preferred stock then outstanding. Immediately prior to any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of Newmont, all holders of exchangeable shares would
be become holders of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the exchangeable
shares and would therefore be entitled to share ratably in any distribution to
other holders of common stock.
Redemption
Newmont common stock is not redeemable or convertible.
Preferred Share Purchase Rights
Each issued share of our common stock includes a preferred stock purchase
right. See "Anti-Takeover Provisions - Stockholders Rights Plan" below.
Other Provisions
All of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of our common stock have no
preemptive rights with respect to any securities of Newmont.

Our common stock also trades in the form of Australian CHESS depositary
interests on the Australian Stock Exchange under the symbol "NEM".
-7-
Newmont CDIs
The Newmont Australian CHESS depositary interests (the "CDIs") are units of
beneficial ownership in our common stock held by CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty
Ltd. (ACN 071346506) ("CDN"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Australian Stock
Exchange Limited (ACN 008624691). The Newmont CDIs entitle holders to dividends
and other rights economically equivalent to our common stock on a ten-for-one
basis, including the right to attend Newmont stockholders' meeting. The Newmont
CDIs are convertible at the option of the holders into our common stock on a
ten-for-one basis. CDN, as the stockholder of record, will vote the underlying
shares of our common stock in accordance with the directions of the CDI holders.
Preferred Stock - General
Our preferred stock is issuable in series. Our Board has the power to fix
various terms for each series of preferred stock, including the following:
o voting powers,
o designations,
o preferences,
o the relative participating and option or other rights,
o qualifications, and
o limitations and restrictions.
A description of our outstanding preferred stock is set forth below.
Special Voting Stock
The following is a summary of our special voting stock, which consists of a
share of preferred stock with special voting rights. For additional information
regarding our special voting stock, please refer to the certificate of
designations setting forth the terms of the special voting stock. The
certificate of designations is an exhibit to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part.
Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee under a voting and
exchange trust agreement, holds the outstanding share of special voting stock.
The holder of the special voting share exercises the voting and other rights
attached to the share as trustee for and on behalf of the registered holders of
the exchangeable shares of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Newmont Mining
Corporation of Canada Limited, formerly known as Franco-Nevada Mining
Corporation Limited ("Newmont Canada"). The exchangeable shares have economic
rights equivalent to those of our common stock and are exchangeable on a
one-for-one basis with shares of our common stock. Upon the unanimous approval
of Newmont's Board of Directors, Newmont Canada may from time to time issue
additional exchangeable shares. The following is a summary description
-8-
of the material provisions of the rights, privileges, restrictions and
conditions attaching to the special voting share and the related exchangeable
shares as they affect Newmont.
Ranking
With respect to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of Newmont, the special voting share ranks (1) senior to our common
stock, (2) on parity with our other preferred stock and (3) junior to any other
class or series of capital stock of Newmont.
Dividend Rights
The special voting share is not entitled to receive dividends.
Holders of exchangeable shares are entitled to receive dividends from
Newmont Canada which are equivalent to any declared by our Board of Directors on
our common stock. These dividends will be paid out of money, assets or property
of Newmont Canada properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of
authorized but unissued shares of Newmont Canada, as applicable. Holders of
exchangeable shares are not entitled to any dividends other than or in excess of
the foregoing dividends. The record date for the determination of the holders of
exchangeable shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for,
any dividend declared on the exchangeable shares will be the same dates as the
record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend
declared on shares of our common stock.
Voting Rights
Holders of exchangeable shares are not holders of our common stock and,
therefore, do not have the direct right to vote on matters relating to Newmont
on which our stockholders are entitled to vote.
The holder of the special voting share has the right to vote together with
the holders of our common stock on all matters on which holders of our common
stock are entitled to vote. The holder of the special voting share is entitled
to cast a number of votes equal to the lesser of (1) the number of exchangeable
shares outstanding from time to time (except those exchangeable shares held by
us or our affiliates) and (2) 10% of the total number of votes attached to the
shares of our common stock then outstanding. The holder of the special voting
share will exercise the voting and others rights attached to the share only on
the basis of instructions received from holders of exchangeable shares, as
trustee for and on behalf of the registered holders of the exchangeable shares.
Certain Restrictions
So long as any of the exchangeable shares not owned by us or our affiliates
are outstanding:
(1) without the approval of the holders of the exchangeable shares and
Newmont Canada (unless in each case the economic equivalent is simultaneously
issued, distributed or made, as the case may be, to the holders of exchangeable
shares), we will not:
-9-
o issue or distribute shares of our common stock, or
securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying
rights to acquire shares of our common stock, to the holders
of all or substantially all of the then outstanding shares
of our common stock by way of stock dividend or other
distribution, other than an issue of shares of our common
stock, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or
carrying rights to acquire shares of our common stock, to
holders of shares of our common stock (a) who exercise an
option to receive dividends in shares of our common stock or
securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying
rights to acquire shares of our common stock, in lieu of
receiving cash dividends, or (b) pursuant to any dividend
reinvestment plan or similar arrangement;
o issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to the
holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding
shares of our common stock entitling them to subscribe for
or to purchase shares of our common stock, or securities
exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to
acquire shares of our common stock;
o issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially
all of our then outstanding shares of common stock (a)
shares or securities (including evidences of indebtedness)
of Newmont of any class (other than shares of our common
stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or
carrying rights to acquire shares of our common stock), or
(b) rights, options, warrants or other assets other than
those referred to above;
o subdivide, redivide or change our then outstanding shares of
common stock into a greater number of shares of our common
stock;
o reduce, combine, consolidate or change our then outstanding
shares of common stock into a lesser number of shares of our
common stock; or
o reclassify or otherwise change shares of our common stock or
effect an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other
transaction affecting shares of our common stock.
(2) in the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer
bid, takeover bid or similar transaction with respect to shares of our common
stock is proposed by us or is proposed to us or our stockholders and is
recommended by our Board, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the
consent or approval of the our Board, and the exchangeable shares are not
redeemed by Newmont Canada or purchased by us (or our wholly-owned subsidiary
Newmont Holdings ULC), we will expeditiously and in good faith take all actions
and do all things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit
holders of exchangeable shares (other than us and our affiliates) to participate
in the transaction to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as
the holders of shares of our common stock, without discrimination. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, we will take all actions and do all
things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to ensure that holders of
exchangeable shares may participate in each similar transaction without being
required to retract exchangeable shares
-10-
as against Newmont Canada or, if so required, to ensure that any retraction,
shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of that
transaction and only to the extent necessary to participate in the transaction.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Newmont, (1)
the holder of the special voting share will be entitled to receive an amount
equal to $0.001 and (2) all of the exchangeable shares will automatically be
exchanged for shares of our common stock. We will purchase each exchangeable
share on the fifth business date prior to the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up for a purchase price per share to be satisfied by the delivery of one
share of our common stock, together with all declared and unpaid dividends on
the exchangeable shares, if any.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Newmont
Canada, we (or Newmont Holdings ULC) have the right to purchase all, but not
less than all, of the outstanding exchangeable shares from the holders thereof
upon payment of a liquidation amount. The liquidation amount will be the amount
per exchangeable share that a holder of exchangeable shares is entitled to
receive pursuant to the provisions attached to the exchangeable shares on the
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Newmont Canada, to be satisfied by the
delivery of one share of our common stock, together with all declared and unpaid
dividends on the exchangeable shares, if any.
Redemption and Retraction
The special voting share is not redeemable or convertible, except, if no
exchangeable shares, other than exchangeable shares held by us or our
affiliates, or securities which could give rise to the issuance of any
exchangeable shares to any person are outstanding, the special voting share will
automatically be redeemed for $0.001.
Holders of exchangeable shares are entitled at any time, upon delivery of a
certificate representing their exchangeable shares and a duly executed
retraction request, to require Newmont Canada to redeem their exchangeable
shares. The retraction price will be the amount per exchangeable share that a
holder of exchangeable shares is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions
attached to the exchangeable shares on a retraction of an exchangeable share, to
be satisfied by the delivery of one share of our common stock, together with all
declared and unpaid dividends on the exchangeable shares, if any. Newmont Canada
must deliver all retraction requests to us (or Newmont Holdings ULC), whereupon
we (or Newmont Holdings ULC), instead of Newmont Canada, will have the right to
purchase for the retraction price the exchangeable shares that are the subject
of the request. If we do not exercise this right, Newmont Canada is required to
effect the redemption.
On or at any time after the seventh anniversary of the date on which the
exchangeable shares were first issued, subject to acceleration in some
circumstances, Newmont Canada is required to redeem all the outstanding
exchangeable shares. The redemption price will be the amount per exchangeable
share that a holder of exchangeable shares is entitled to receive pursuant to
the provisions of the exchangeable shares on a redemption of exchangeable
shares, to
-11-
be satisfied by the delivery of one share of our common stock, together with all
declared and unpaid dividends, if any. In this event, we (or Newmont Holdings
ULC) will have the overriding right to acquire the outstanding exchangeable
shares in exchange for the redemption price on the redemption date. If we
exercise this right, Newmont Canada's obligation to redeem the exchangeable
shares will terminate.
Listing
The exchangeable shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the
symbol "NMC".
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Article Ninth of our certificate of incorporation and our rights agreement
may make it more difficult for various corporations, entities or persons to
acquire control of us or to remove management.
Approval of Various Mergers, Consolidations, Sales and Leases
Article Ninth of our certificate of incorporation requires us to get the
approval of the holders of 80% of all classes of our capital stock who are
entitled to vote in elections of directors, voting together as one class, to
enter into the following types of transactions:
o a merger or consolidation between us and another corporation that
holds 10% or more of our outstanding shares;
o the sale or lease of all or a substantial part of our assets to
another corporation or entity that holds 10% or more of our
outstanding shares; or
o any sale or lease to us of assets worth more than $10 million in
exchange for our securities by another corporation or entity that
holds 10% or more of our outstanding shares.
However, Article Ninth does not apply to any transaction if:
o our Board approves the transaction before the other corporation,
person or entity becomes a holder of 10% or more of our outstanding
shares; or
o we or our subsidiaries own a majority of the outstanding voting shares
of the other corporation.
Article Ninth can only be altered or repealed with the approval of the
holders of 80% of all classes of our capital stock who are entitled to vote in
elections of directors, voting together as one class.
-12-
Stockholders Rights Plan
On January 30, 2002, our Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right for each outstanding share of our common stock. The dividend was
paid on February 15, 2002 to the stockholders of record on February 15, 2002.
The rights were issued pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement, dated as
of February 13, 2002 between Newmont and Mellon Investor Services LLC, as the
rights agent.
Our Board has adopted this rights agreement to protect stockholders from
coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, it works by
imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group which acquires 15% or
more of our outstanding common stock without the approval of our Board of
Directors. The rights agreement should not interfere with any merger or other
business combination approved by our Board.
The following is a summary description of our rights agreement and should
be read together with the entire rights agreement, which is included as an
exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The Rights. Our Board authorized the issuance of a right with respect to
each share of common stock outstanding on February 15, 2002. The rights
initially trade with, and are inseparable from, shares of our common stock. The
rights are evidenced only by certificates that represent shares of our common
stock. New rights will accompany any new shares of our common stock that we
issue after February 15, 2002 until the Distribution Date described below.
Exercise Price. Each right allows its holder to purchase from Newmont one
one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
("preferred share") for $100, once the rights become exercisable. This portion
of a preferred share will give the stockholder approximately the same dividend,
voting and liquidation rights as would one share of common stock. Prior to
exercise, the right does not give its holder any dividend, voting or liquidation
rights.
Exercisability. The rights are not exercisable until:
o 10 days after the public announcement that a person or group
has become an "Acquiring Person" by obtaining beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock,
or, if earlier, or
o 10 business days (or a later date determined by our Board
before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person)
after a person or group begins a tender or exchange offer
which, if completed, would result in that person or group
becoming an Acquiring Person.
We refer to the date when the rights become exercisable as the
"Distribution Date." Until that date, the common stock certificates also
evidence the rights, and any transfer of shares of common stock constitutes a
transfer of rights. After that date, the rights will separate from the common
stock and be evidenced by book-entry credits or by rights certificates that we
will mail to all eligible holders of common stock. Any rights held by an
Acquiring Person are void and may not be exercised.
-13-
Our Board may reduce the threshold at which a person or group becomes an
Acquiring Person from 15% to not less than 10% of the outstanding common stock.
Consequences of a Person or Group Becoming an Acquiring Person.
o Flip In. If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
all holders of rights except the Acquiring Person may, for
$100, purchase shares of our common stock prior to the
acquisition.
o Flip On. If we are later acquired in a merger of similar
transaction after the Distribution Date, all holders of
rights except the Acquiring Person may, for $100, purchase
shares of the acquiring corporation with a market value of
$200 based on the market price of the acquiring
corporation's stock, prior to the merger.
Preferred Share Provisions. Each one one-thousandth of a preferred share,
if issued:
o will not be redeemable;
o will entitle holders to quarterly dividend payments of
$0.001 per share, or an amount equal to the dividend paid on
one share of common stock, whichever is greater;
o will entitle holders upon liquidation either to receive
$1.00 per share or an amount equal to the payment made on
one share of common stock, whichever is greater;
o will have the same voting power as one share of common
stock; and
o if shares of our common stock are exchanged by merger,
consolidation or a similar transaction, will entitle holders
to a per share payment equal to the payment made on one
share of common stock.
The value of one one-thousandth interest in a preferred share should
approximate the value of one share of common stock.
Expiration. The rights will expire on February 13, 2012.
Redemption. Our Board of Directors may redeem the rights for $0.001 per
right at any time before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person. If our
Board redeems any rights, it must redeem all of the rights. Once the rights are
redeemed, the only right of the holders of rights will be to receive the
redemption price of $0.001 per right. The redemption price will be adjusted if
we have a stock split or stock dividends of our common stock.
-14-
Exchange. After a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, but before
an Acquiring Person owns 50% or more of our outstanding common stock, our Board
may extinguish the rights by exchanging one share of common stock or an
equivalent security for each right, other than rights held by the Acquiring
Person.
Anti-Dilution Provisions. Our Board may adjust the purchase price of the
preferred shares, the number of preferred shares issuable and the number of
outstanding rights to prevent dilution that may occur from a stock dividend, a
stock split or a reclassification of the preferred shares or common stock. No
adjustments to the purchase price of less than 1% will be made.
Amendments. The terms of the rights agreement may be amended by our Board
without the consent of the holders of the rights. However, our Board may not
amend the rights agreement to lower the threshold at which a person or group
becomes an Acquiring Person to below 10% of our outstanding common stock. In
addition, the Board may not cause a person or group to become an Acquiring
Person by lowering this threshold below the percentage interest that the person
or group already owns. After a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, our
Board may not amend the agreement in a way that adversely affects holders of the
rights.
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS AS A
REAL PROPERTY HOLDING CORPORATION
We believe that we may be considered a U.S. real property holding
corporation within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
of the Code, although we are still analyzing the impact of the acquisitions of
Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation Limited and Normandy Mining Limited. If we are
considered a U.S. real property holding corporation, even if you are not a U.S.
person as defined in the Code and lack other connections with the United States,
you may be subject to a tax on any gain realized on the disposition of shares of
our common stock acquired by you upon exercise of any Warrants if at the time of
the disposition our common stock is not regularly traded on an established
securities market. This tax, however, would not apply to a disposition of shares
held by you solely as a creditor. You also may be subject to a withholding tax
on the proceeds from the disposition of the shares of our common stock.
Currently, our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities
market and, therefore, the tax and the withholding tax described above would not
apply to a disposition of shares, except as provided below. The tax described
above would apply to the disposition by you of shares of our common stock even
though our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market
if you are a non-U.S. person who actually or constructively beneficially owns
more than 5% of the total fair market value of all our outstanding common stock
at any time during the five year period immediately preceding the disposition.
The withholding tax described above, however, would not apply to the
disposition, except in certain circumstances.
We urge you to consult your own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal tax
consequences of an investment in our common stock, as well as the tax
consequences under any state, local or foreign tax laws.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering by this prospectus shares of our common stock (and
associated preferred stock purchase rights) for issuance to holders of the
Warrants described above upon exercise of those warrants as provided in the
relevant warrant agreements.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article Tenth of Newmont's Certificate of Incorporation provides that its
directors shall be protected from personal liability, through indemnification or
otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware as from time to time in effect.
The By-Laws of Newmont provide that each person who at any time is or shall
have been a director or officer of Newmont, or is or shall have been serving
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise in any capacity at the request of Newmont, and his or her
heirs, executors and administrators, shall be indemnified by Newmont in
accordance with and to the full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware. Article VI of the By-Laws of Newmont facilitates
enforcement of the right of directors and owners to be indemnified by
establishing such right as a contract right pursuant to which the person
entitled thereto may bring suit as if the indemnification provisions of the
By-Laws were set forth in a separate written contract between Newmont and the
director or officer.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
authorizes and empowers each Delaware corporation to indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and agents against liabilities incurred in connection with,
and related expenses resulting from, any claim, action or suit brought against
any such person as a result of his or her relationship with the corporation,
provided that such persons acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation in connection with the acts or events on which such claim, action or
suit is based. The finding of either civil or criminal liability on the part of
such person in connection with such acts or events is not necessarily
determinative of the question of whether such person has met the required
standard of conduct and is, accordingly,
II-1
entitled to be indemnified. The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed
provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
II-3
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof;
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering; and
(4) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Newmont Mining's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by
reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification
II-4
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
II-5
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Registrant has duly caused this Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form
S-3 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in
the City of Denver, State of Colorado, on the 22nd day of April, 2003.
