Introductory Note

This current report on Form 8-K/A (Form 8-K/A) amends the current report on Form 8-K of Newmont Mining Corporation (“Newmont” or the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2013 to report Mr. Simon R. Thompson’s decision not to stand for re-election at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Item 5.02(b) — Departure of Directors or Certain Officers.

As previously announced on Form 8-K, dated December 3, 2013, Mr. Simon R. Thompson provided notice to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company of his intention not to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. It was previously announced that Mr. Thompson’s service as a Director would cease immediately prior to the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 23, 2014. However, Mr. Thompson has been appointed as a non-executive director of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited effective on April 1, 2014. As such, Mr. Thompson has determined that his term as a member of the Newmont Board will cease effective April 1, 2014.

Newmont and the Board express their deepest appreciation to Mr. Thompson for his outstanding and dedicated service to Newmont and for his many contributions to the Board and the committees of the Board, including his prior service as Chairman of the Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee and his commitment to the health, safety and environmental performance of the Company through his prior membership on the Company’s Environmental and Social Responsibility, Operations and Safety Committee and current membership on the Safety and Sustainability Committee.
