ITEM 7.01.

REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On September 10, 2008, Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont") will present at the Denver Gold Forum 2008 conference in Denver, Colorado. The presentation materials are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. As part of the presentation, Newmont will, among other things, provide an updated forecast regarding projects under development, including the Boddington project in Western Australia. Newmont expects the Boddington project will continue to be subject to industry-wide inflationary pressures and a tightening Australian labor market, which are expected to result in a project start-up in early to mid 2009 and resulting higher costs. Newmont plans to provide an update of the estimated capital costs and project completion schedule as part of Newmont’s third quarter earnings release. The initial five year average annual equity production at Boddington is expected to be between 600,000-700,000 ounces of gold. Upon project completion, the Boddington mine will have an expected mine life exceeding 20 years.

The information, including the exhibits attached hereto, in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as otherwise stated in such filing.
