At the Conference, Wayne Murdy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Newmont, will discuss the information included in the presentation materials attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. As part of this presentation, Newmont will, among other things, confirm guidance for its fiscal year 2005 consolidated gold sales of 8.4 - 8.5 million ounces (6.5 - 6.6 million equity ounces) at consolidated costs applicable to sales of $230 - $240 per ounce. Newmont is in the process of re-evaluating its mine planning and will not provide at this time any guidance for fiscal year 2006 and beyond, which Newmont expects to provide at a later time. Risks to current guidance include labor availability and ground conditions at Nevada’s underground operations.
