The ratings on Newmont Mining Corp. reflect the company's position as one of the world's largest gold producers, its significant and diversified reserve base, its solid balance sheet, strong liquidity, and currently favorable gold prices. Exposure to political and sovereign risk and volatile gold prices counterbalance these strengths.

All ratings are removed from CreditWatch where they were placed with negative implications on Oct. 9, 2007. The outlook is negative. The affirmation stems from the company's ability to fund its early 2008, $1.3 billion acquisition of Miramar Mining Corp. with minimal incremental debt. Significant cash generated by high gold prices, the monetization of components of its royalty and equity portfolio, and an earlier bond issuance have permitted Newmont to maintain credit measures that are in-line with the rating, while continuing to fund its large ongoing capital expenditure program.
