On December 14, 2009, Newmont Mining Corporation (the “Company”) issued a news release announcing that, in connection with divestiture obligations under the Batu Hijau Contract of Work, its subsidiary, Newmont Indonesia Limited, together with Nusa Tenggara Mining Corporation (an affiliate of Sumitomo Corporation), completed the sale of 7% of PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara for the 2008 divestiture to PT Multi Daerah Bersaing, a consortium comprised of regional and local governments near the Batu Hijau mine, and PT Multicapital, a private company (the “2008 Share Transfer”). Upon completion of the 2008 Share Transfer, the Company received approximately $139 million, reflecting its 56.25% share of the $247 million sale price. With the closing of this 2008 Share Transfer, the Company’s ownership in the Batu Hijau mine’s proven and probable equity reserves has been reduced from 39.375% to 35.44%.
