ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) was enacted. Section 1503(b)(1) of the Act requires a Current Report on Form 8-K if a company is issued an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (an “Order”) by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
On September 14, 2010, Newmont USA Limited (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, received an Order alleging that an employee at the Gold Quarry mine was observed working on a dismantled crusher without wearing fall protection. The employee got down from the crusher which immediately terminated the Order. No accident or injury occurred and no adverse impact on the Company’s operations at the Gold Quarry mine resulted from the condition alleged in the Order.
