5. Reconciliation of Costs Applicable to Sales to Total Cash Cost Per
Ounce and Per Pound, and Total Production Costs Per Ounce and Per Pound
(dollars in millions except per ounce amounts)
The total cash costs and total production costs per ounce or pound are
non-GAAP performance measures that are intended to provide investors
with information about the cash generating capacities and profitability
of Newmont's mining operations. Newmont's management uses these
measures for the same purpose and for monitoring the performance of its
mining operations. These measures differ from measures determined in
accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for measures of performance or liquidity determined in
accordance with GAAP. These measures were developed in conjunction
with gold mining companies associated with the Gold Institute in an
effort to provide a level of comparability; however, Newmont's measures
may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Notes:
(1) For more detailed descriptions, definitions and explanations, refer
to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004 to be filed in March 2005.
(2) Prices quoted are gross contract prices, which represent the gross
cash flow per ounce of each contract. Not included in these prices
are the additional cash outflows associated with borrowing gold over
the life of the contract where the contracts are floating in nature.
The rate at which gold is borrowed is determined over the life of the
contract based on the prevailing market gold lease rate for the time
period that the borrowing is fixed. The borrowing can be fixed for
varying periods over the life of the contract.
(3) In addition to the gold hedge positions shown in the table above, the
Company entered into a prepaid forward gold sales contract in July
1999, which is reflected as debt on the Company's consolidated
balance sheet. Under the prepaid forward gold sales contract, the
Company agreed to sell 483,333 ounces of gold, to be delivered in
June of each of 2005, 2006 and 2007 in annual installments of 161,111
ounces of gold. For more detailed descriptions, definitions and
explanations, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2004 to be filed in March 2005.
