                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

     These unaudited interim financial statements of Newmont Mining
Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Corporation") have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Such rules and regulations allow the omission of
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, so long as the statements are not misleading.

     In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
periods presented.  All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.  These
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual
financial statements of the Corporation included in its 1994 annual report on
Form 10-K.

     All the Corporation's operations are held through Newmont Gold Company
("NGC"), which is approximately 89% owned.

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

(3)  Contingencies

Environmental Obligations

     The Corporation is involved in several matters concerning environmental
obligations primarily associated with former mining activities.  Based upon
the Corporation's best estimate of its liability for these matters, $62.9
million and $64.3 million were accrued for such liability at March 31, 1995
<PAGE> 7
and December 31, 1994, respectively, excluding $19.2 million and $18.4
million at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, of reclamation
costs relating to currently producing mineral properties.  These amounts are
included in other current liabilities and reclamation liabilities.  Depending
upon the ultimate resolution of these matters, the Corporation believes that
it is reasonably possible that the liability for these matters could be as
much as 65% greater or 15% lower than the amount accrued at March 31, 1995.

     A discussion of the environmental obligations and related insurance
receivables associated with former mining activities as of March 31, 1995
follows.

Idarado Mining Company ("Idarado") - 80.1% owned by NGC

     In July 1992, the Corporation and Idarado signed a consent decree with
the State of Colorado ("State") which was agreed to by the U.S. District
Court of Colorado to settle a lawsuit brought by the State under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), generally referred to as the "Superfund Act."  Idarado settled
natural resources damages and past and future response costs and provided
habitat enhancement work.  In addition, Idarado agreed in the consent decree
to undertake specified remediation work related to its former mining
activities in the Telluride/Ouray area of Colorado.  The Corporation's best
estimate of the cost of this work is included in the liability, as previously
discussed.  If the remediation work does not meet certain measurement
criteria specified in the consent decree, the State and court reserve the
right to require Idarado to perform other remediation work.  Idarado and the
Corporation have obtained a $16.3 million letter of credit to secure their
obligations under the consent decree.

Resurrection Mining Company ("Resurrection") - 100% owned by NGC

     In 1983, the State of Colorado filed a lawsuit under the Superfund Act
which involves a joint venture mining operation near Leadville, Colorado in
which Resurrection is a joint venturer.  This action was subsequently
consolidated with a lawsuit filed by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA") in 1986.  The EPA is taking the lead role on cleanup issues. 
The proceedings sought to compel the defendants to remediate the impacts of
pre-existing mining activities which the government agencies claim are
causing substantial environmental problems in the area.  The mining
operations of the joint venture are operated by ASARCO, the other joint
venturer.  The lawsuits have named the Corporation, Resurrection, the joint
venture and ASARCO defendants in the proceedings.  They are also proceeding
against other companies with interests in the area.

     The EPA divided the remedial work into two phases.  Phase I addresses a
drainage and access tunnel owned by the joint venture - the Yak Tunnel. 
Phase II addresses the remainder of the site.

     In 1988 and 1989, the EPA issued administrative orders with respect to
Phase I work  for the Yak Tunnel.  The joint venture, ASARCO, Resurrection
and the Corporation have collectively implemented those orders by
constructing a water treatment plant which was placed in operation in early
1992.  The joint venture is in negotiations regarding remaining remedial work
for Phase I, which primarily consists of monitoring and environmental
maintenance activities.

     The parties have entered into a consent decree with respect to Phase II
which apportions liabilities and responsibilities for the site among the
<PAGE> 8
various parties.  The EPA has not yet completed work to define the remedies
for Phase II.  Accordingly, the Corporation cannot yet determine the full
extent or cost of its share of the remedial action which will be required
under Phase II.  Moreover, in addition to such action, the government
agencies may seek to recover for damages to natural resources.

     Although the ultimate amount of Resurrection's and the Corporation's
share of such costs for Phase I and Phase II cannot be presently determined,
the Corporation's best estimate of its potential exposure for these costs is
included in the gross liability for these matters, as previously discussed.

Dawn Mining Company ("Dawn") - 51% owned by NGC

     Dawn leased a currently inactive open-pit uranium mine on the Spokane
Indian Reservation in the State of Washington.  The mine is subject to
regulation by agencies of the U. S. Department of Interior, the Bureau of
Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as the EPA.  Dawn
also owns a nearby uranium millsite facility. 

     In 1991, Dawn's lease was terminated.  As a result, Dawn was required to
file a formal mine reclamation plan.  Dawn does not have sufficient funds to
pay for such a reclamation plan or to pay for the closure of its mill.  The
Corporation's best estimate for the future costs related to these matters is
included in the gross liability for environmental matters, as previously
discussed.  Dawn has developed and has received a license for a mill closure
plan which could potentially generate the necessary funds to reclaim the mine
and the mill.  The plan, however, is currently being challenged by third
parties.

     The Department of Interior previously notified Dawn that when the lease
was terminated, it would seek to hold Dawn and the Corporation (as Dawn's 51%
owner) liable for any costs incurred as a result of Dawn's failure to comply
with the lease and applicable regulations.  The Corporation would vigorously
contest any such claims.  The Corporation cannot reasonably predict the
likelihood or outcome of any future action against Dawn or the Corporation
arising from this matter.

Insurance Receivables

     Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 1994 was a net $16.7
million attributable to insurance companies for both a portion of the costs
previously expended and for estimated future costs associated with
environmental obligations covered by insurance policies associated with
former mining activities.

     Prior to 1993, three of the insurance companies commenced actions
against the Corporation seeking judgments that they had no liability.  In the
fall of 1993, the Corporation instituted a comprehensive lawsuit against its
carriers.

     In the first quarter of 1995 settlement in the insurance litigation was
reached enabling the Corporation to realize the December 31, 1994 receivable. 
Settlement discussions continue with respect to some of the litigation.  The
Corporation will continue to vigorously pursue recovery in the remaining
litigation and believes that it is reasonably possible that additional
amounts will be recovered.




<PAGE> 9
Class Action Complaint

     In March 1995, a class action complaint was filed against the
Corporation and others in which the plaintiffs allege exposure to certain
allegedly radioactive or otherwise hazardous waste materials produced at a
ferroalloy production plant in Guernsey County, Ohio.  This plant was owned
until 1987 by Foote Mineral Company, a former subsidiary of the Corporation. 
The complaint seeks $500 million of compensatory damages jointly and
severally against all defendants, $63 million in punitive damages against the
Corporation, the recovery of response costs and the establishment of a
medical monitoring fund under CERCLA.  Injunctive relief requiring defendants
to remove the allegedly hazardous materials from the property of the
plaintiffs is also requested.

     The Corporation is investigating this recently filed action and intends
to vigorously contest all alleged liability in this matter.

Additional Interest in Minera Yanacocha

     In September 1994, an affiliate of Bureau de Recherches Geologiques et
Minieres, the geological and mining bureau of the French government ("BRGM"),
announced its intention to transfer its 24.7% interest in Minera Yanacocha,
S.A. to another entity.  NGC and Compania de Minas Buenaventura, S.A.
("Buenaventura"), 38.0% and 32.3% owners of Minera Yanacocha, respectively,
filed suit in Peru to seek enforcement of a provision in the bylaws of Minera
Yanacocha, giving shareholders preemptive rights on the sale of any
shareholder's interest.  In February 1995, an appellate court in Peru issued
a preliminary ruling in favor of NGC and Buenaventura.  NGC elected to
exercise its preemptive rights to acquire its proportionate share of the
additional interest and in accordance with the court ruling deposited $48.6
million with a Peruvian bank, pending the final resolution of the case.  NGC
borrowed the $48.6 million from the same Peruvian bank with the right of
setoff against the deposit.  Part of the final resolution of the case, if
resolved in NGC's favor, will determine how much NGC must pay for the
interest, which may be more or less than the amount deposited.  NGC intends
to fund the purchase of the additional interest with its available cash or
credit facilities.  If NGC is successful in acquiring the interest it would
own 51% of Minera Yanacocha.  This additional interest will not be reflected
in the financial statements until a final determination is made by the
Peruvian courts.

(5)  Supplementary Data

     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and ratio of earnings to combined
fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 were 2.6 and 1.9, respectively.  The Corporation guarantees certain
third party debt which had total interest obligations of $0.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The Corporation has not been required to pay
any interest on these obligations in the past, nor does it expect to have to
pay any amounts with respect to such debt in the future.  Therefore, such
amounts have not been included in the ratio of earnings to fixed charges or
the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock
dividends.

(6)  Subsequent Events

     On April 5, 1995, NGC sold its 10.7% interest in Southern Peru Copper
Corporation for $116.4 million, which will result in a pre-tax gain of $113.2


<PAGE> 10
million, or approximately $72 million, or $0.75 per share on an after-tax
basis, that will be recognized in the second quarter of 1995.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition

     The following discussion summarizes the results of operations of Newmont
Mining Corporation ("Newmont") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Corporation") for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and changes in
its financial condition from December 31, 1994.  All the Corporation's
operations are held through Newmont Gold Company ("NGC"), which is
approximately 89% owned.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Corporation's 1994
annual report on Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Corporation earned $15.6 million, or $0.14 per share, in the first
quarter of 1995 compared with $21.6 million, or $0.20 per share, in the first
quarter of 1994.  This decrease in income was attributable to decreased gold
production and increased costs at the Carlin, Nevada operation as discussed
below.

     During the first quarter of 1995, consolidated gold sales were 354,900
ounces at an average price of $379 per ounce compared to 389,700 ounces at an
average price of $384 per ounce in the first quarter of 1994.  Production for
both quarters is attributable entirely to the Carlin, Nevada operations.  The
34,800 ounce decline in production decreased sales revenue by $13.4 million
and the $5 decline in the per ounce sales price decreased sales revenue by
$1.9 million.  The decline in production in the 1995 quarter was impacted by
the closure of three mills and the Rain open pit mine after the first quarter
of 1994.  During the second half of 1995, production at the Carlin operation
will benefit from increased production from the refractory ore treatment
plant.  Because of a fire in November 1994,  the facility only operated at
partial capacity for the quarter; however, full capacity is anticipated by
mid-1995.  The Corporation expects to produce 1.6 million ounces in 1995 from
the Carlin operations.  In addition, production from the Zarafshan-Newmont
Joint Venture is expected to begin in mid-1995.

     During the first quarter of 1995 NGC's equity income from its 38%
interest in Minera Yanacocha S.A. ("Minera Yanacocha") increased to $7.1
million from $2.0 million in the 1994 first quarter.  Minera Yanacocha
produced 121,900 ounces, or 46,300 ounces attributable to NGC's interest, in
the 1995 first quarter at operating costs, excluding depreciation, depletion
and amortization ("DD&A"), of $125 per ounce.  This compares to 45,600
ounces, or 17,300 ounces attributable to NGC's interest, in the 1994 first
quarter at operating costs, excluding DD&A, of $150 per ounce.  The increase
in production is primarily due to a second mine coming into production in
late 1994.

     Dividends, interest and other income in the 1995 quarter includes $11.8
million for business interruption insurance recorded for the start-up
problems with the refractory ore treatment plant and $2.6 million in higher
dividends from NGC's investment in Southern Peru Copper Corporation.  In
April 1995, NGC sold its 10.7% interest in Southern Peru Copper Corporation
for $116.4 million, which will result in a pre-tax gain of $113.2 million, or
approximately $72 million, or $0.75 per share on an after-tax basis, that
will be recognized in the second quarter of 1995.

     The Corporation's costs applicable to sales in the aggregate were
approximately the same between the two quarters.  On a per ounce of gold sold
basis, costs applicable to sales were higher in the first quarter of 1995
<PAGE> 12
compared to the first quarter of 1994 as a result of the lower Carlin
production.  The following table summarizes the significant components of
these costs per ounce of gold sold:

                                            ====          ==== 
</TABLE>


The increase in production costs on a per ounce of gold sold basis in the
1995 quarter was the result of higher milling costs associated with the
refractory ore treatment plant, which as previously mentioned, only operated
at partial capacity during the first quarter of 1995.  In addition, the
facility was shut-down at the end of the first quarter into the beginning of
the second quarter for repairs and maintenance.  Although per ounce
production costs may continue to increase into the second quarter, they
should decline during the second half of the year as the refractory ore
treatment plant achieves full operating capacity and the lower cost
Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture comes into full operation.

     The increase in royalty costs per ounce is due to the production of a
higher proportion of royalty-burdened ore in 1995 compared to 1994, which is
expected to continue throughout the year, although at not as great a
difference as experienced in the first quarter.  For the year, per ounce
royalty costs are expected to be 15% to 20% higher than the $25 per ounce
experienced during 1994.

     In addition to expensed production costs, during the 1995 first quarter
the Corporation capitalized $9.9 million of mining costs associated with
deposits having diverse waste-to-ore ratios, the largest being the Post
deposit.  This compares to $6.7 million in the 1994 first quarter.  The
increase is attributable to more tons mined in the 1995 quarter and is
expected to continue throughout the year.

     During the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation determined that
studies on the Batu Hijau project confirmed that this large porphyry
copper/gold deposit could be economically developed.  Therefore, costs
incurred on this project in the first quarter of 1995 of $5.0 million were
capitalized, and all future development costs will be capitalized.

     DD&A increased $1.8 million in the 1995 quarter due to depreciation of
the refractory ore treatment plant.  There was no comparable depreciation in
the 1994 quarter.

     First quarter 1995 exploration expenses decreased $3.1 million as the
Corporation plans on lower exploration spending in 1995.

<PAGE> 13
     General and administrative expenses were higher in the 1995 quarter than
the 1994 quarter due to the increased international focus of the
Corporation's operations.  In that general and administrative expenses
increased in the latter quarters of 1994, the increase in general and
administrative expenses is not expected to be as great for the remaining
quarters of 1995 compared to 1994.

     Net interest expense increased $8.6 million in the 1995 quarter compared
with the 1994 quarter.  Interest expense increased from $4.9 million in the
1994 quarter to $11.5 million in the 1995 quarter primarily due to interest
expense associated with the sale-leaseback transaction of the refractory ore
treatment plant completed in September 1994.  With the completion of the
refractory ore treatment plant in late 1994, capitalized interest in the 1995
quarter is $2.8 million compared with $4.7 million in the 1994 quarter.

     The effective tax rate was approximately 10% in the first quarter of
1995 compared to approximately 4% in the first quarter of 1994.  Both years'
effective rates are low as a result of the estimated amount of percentage
depletion for each year being a high proportion of estimated pretax financial
income for each year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation's cash outlays
included $70.7 million of capital expenditures, $11.9 million to carry the
partners' share of the costs in the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture and $14.3
million in dividends.  Of the first quarter 1995 capital expenditures,
approximately $38.8 million was spent on projects at the Carlin operations
primarily associated with the refractory ore treatment plant, capitalized
mining costs, leach pad construction and underground development.  In
addition, $13.4 million for mine site development on the Minahasa project in
Indonesia and $11.2 million for the Zarafshan-Newmont Joint Venture project
was spent in the first quarter.  Cash flow from operating activities was
$54.5 million.

     Cash requirements during 1995 are expected to exceed operating cash
flow.  However, in the second quarter, the Corporation sold its investment in
Southern Peru Copper Corporation for $116.4 million and the Zarafshan-Newmont
Joint Venture closed on an additional $30.0 million of project financing, $15
million of which is attributable to the Corporation.  These funds, in
addition to the $160.6 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31,
1994, will cover any short-fall in operating cash flow for the year.

     In February 1995, a preliminary ruling in the Peruvian courts was
received which permits NGC to exercise its preemptive rights with regards to
the 24.7% interest held by the Bureau de Recherches Geologiques et Minieres
in Minera Yanacocha.  NGC exercised its right by depositing $48.6 million
with a Peruvian bank as stipulated by the court ruling.  This amount is only
a provisional amount assigned by the court and the actual price to be paid
for the interest will be the subject of a future court determination.  The
monies deposited with the bank were borrowed from the same bank with a right
of setoff against the deposit.  If NGC is ultimately successful in acquiring
this additional interest, its total interest in Minera Yanacocha would
increase to 51%.  This additional interest will not be reflected in the
financial statements until a final determination is made by the Peruvian
courts.



<PAGE> 14
     The decrease in accounts receivable during the first quarter of 1995 is
due to receipt of insurance monies related to the start-up problems of the
refractory ore treatment plant and settlement of litigation of environmental
obligations associated with former mining activities.
