               This  Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common
Stock,  $1.60 par value per share (the "Shares"),  of Newmont Mining Corporation
(the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 7 supplementally amends the initial statement
on Schedule 13D dated April 30, 1993 and all amendments  thereto  (collectively,
the "Initial  Statement")  filed by certain of the Reporting Persons (as defined
herein).  This Amendment No. 7 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report
the  transfer  of the  investment  advisory  contracts  between  (i) Soros  Fund
Management ("SFM") and Quantum Fund N.V., a Netherlands  Antilles  corporation,
("Quantum Fund"),  whose principal operating subsidiary is Quantum Partners LDC,
a Cayman Islands exempted limited duration company  ("Quantum  Partners"),  (ii)
SFM and Quota Fund N.V., a Netherlands Antilles corporation ("Quota"), and (iii)
SFM and Quasar  International  Partners  C.V., a  Netherlands  Antilles  limited
partnership  ("Quasar  Partners"),  pursuant to which SFM was granted investment
discretion  over  portfolio  investments,  including  the  Shares,  held for the
accounts of Quantum Partners, Quota and Quasar Partners. The investment advisory
contracts  have been  transferred  from SFM to Soros Fund  Management  LLC ("SFM
LLC"), a newly formed Delaware limited liability company. Capitalized terms used
but not defined  herein shall have the meanings  ascribed to them in the Initial
Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows.

Item 2.        Identity and Background.

               This  statement is being filed on behalf of SFM LLC,  Mr.  George
Soros ("Mr.  Soros"),  Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller  ("Mr.  Druckenmiller")  and
Duquesne Capital  Management,  L.L.C., a Pennsylvania  limited liability company
("Duquesne L.L.C.", and together with SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller,
the "Reporting Persons"). This statement relates to Shares held for the accounts
of Quantum Partners,  Quota, Quasar Partners and the Duquesne L.L.C. Clients (as
defined herein).

               Effective as of January 1, 1997,  SFM, a sole  proprietorship  of
which Mr. Soros is the sole  proprietor,  transferred  its  investment  advisory
contracts with Quantum Fund, Quota and Quasar Partners,  to SFM LLC as part of a
restructuring  of the business of SFM,  which will now be conducted  through SFM
LLC. SFM LLC has its principal  office at 888 Seventh  Avenue,  33rd Floor,  New
York, New York 10106. Its principal business is to serve,  pursuant to contract,
as the principal investment manager to several foreign investment companies (the
"SFM  Clients"),  including  Quantum Fund,  Quantum  Partners,  Quota and Quasar
Partners. Each of Quantum Fund, Quantum Partners, Quota and Quasar Partners, has
its  principal  office at Kaya  Flamboyan 9,  Willemstad,  Curacao,  Netherlands
Antilles. SFM LLC's contracts with SFM Clients generally provide that SFM LLC is
responsible for designing and implementing  the SFM Clients' overall  investment
strategies;  for conducting direct portfolio management strategies to the extent
that SFM LLC  determines  that it is  appropriate  to utilize its own  portfolio
management  capabilities;   for  selecting,   evaluating  and  monitoring  other
investment advisors who manage separate portfolios on behalf of SFM Clients; and
for  allocating  and  reallocating  the SFM  Clients'  assets  among the outside
managers and itself.

               The business of SFM LLC is managed through a Management Committee
(the "Management  Committee")  comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller and Mr.
Gary Gladstein.  Mr. Soros, as Chairman of SFM LLC has the ability to direct the
investment  decisions  of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed  to have  investment
discretion  over the  securities  held for the accounts of the SFM Clients.  Mr.
Druckenmiller,  as Lead Portfolio  Manager of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct
the investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment
discretion  over the  securities  held for the accounts of the SFM Clients.  Set
forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2
and  elsewhere  in this  Schedule  13D as  applicable  is a list of the Managing
Directors of SFM LLC.

               The principal  occupation of Mr. Soros, a United States  citizen,
is his  direction  of the  activities  of SFM LLC,  which is carried  out in his
capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC at SFM LLC's principal office.

               The principal  occupation of Mr.  Druckenmiller,  a United States
citizen,  is  his  position  as  Lead  Portfolio  Manager  and a  Member  of the
Management  Committee  of SFM LLC,  which is carried out at SFM LLC's  principal
office. Mr.  Druckenmiller also owns a 75% interest in, and is the sole managing
member of, Duquesne L.L.C., an investment advisory firm. Duquesne L.L.C. has its
principal offices at 2579 Washington Road, Suite 322,  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania
15241-2591.  Its  principal  business is to serve,  pursuant to  contract,  as a
discretionary  investment  advisor to a limited number of institutional  clients
(the "Duquesne L.L.C. Clients").

               Pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of the
Act,  SFM LLC,  Mr.  Soros,  in his  capacity as  Chairman  of SFM LLC,  and Mr.
Druckenmiller, in his capacity as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, each may be
deemed a beneficial  owner of  securities,  including  the Shares,  held for the
accounts  of  Quantum  Partners,  Quota and Quasar  Partners  as a result of the
contractual  authority of SFM LLC to exercise voting and dispositive  power with
respect to such securities.

               Pursuant to the  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of
the Act,  each of  Duquesne  L.L.C.  and Mr.  Druckenmiller,  by  virtue  of his
interest in, and position as sole managing  member of, Duquesne  L.L.C.,  may be
deemed a beneficial  owner of  securities,  including  the Shares,  held for the
accounts of the Duquesne LLC Clients as a result of the contractual authority of
Duquesne  LLC to  exercise  voting and  dispositive  power with  respect to such
securities.

               During  the  past  five  years,  none of the  Reporting  Persons,
Quantum  Partners,  Quota,  Quasar  Partners  and, to the best of the  Reporting
Persons'  knowledge,  any other person identified in response to this Item 2 has
been  (a)  convicted  in a  criminal  proceeding,  or (b) a party  to any  civil
proceeding  as a result of which he has been  subject to a  judgment,  decree or
final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or  mandating
activities  subject  to,  federal  or state  securities  laws,  or  finding  any
violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

               The  securities  held for the accounts of the SFM Clients  and/or
the Duquesne L.L.C.  Clients may be held through margin accounts maintained with
brokers,  which  extend  margin  credit  as and when  required  to open or carry
positions  in  its  margin  accounts,   subject  to  applicable  federal  margin
regulations, stock exchange rules and such firm's credit policies. The positions
which may be held in the margin accounts,  including the Shares,  are pledged as
collateral  security  for the  repayment  of debit  balances  in the  respective
accounts.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction.

               All of the Shares  reported herein as having been acquired for or
disposed of from the account of Quantum Partners,  Quota, Quasar Partners and/or
the  Duquesne  L.L.C.  Clients  were  acquired  or  disposed  of for  investment
purposes.  Neither  Quantum  Partners,  Quota,  Quasar  Partners,  the Reporting
Persons  nor,  to the  best of their  knowledge,  any of the  other  individuals
identified  in response to Item 2, has any plans or proposals  that relate to or
would result in any of the transactions  described in subparagraphs  (a) through
(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

               SFM LLC,  Mr.  Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller  reserve the right to
acquire,  or cause to be  acquired,  additional  securities  of the  Issuer,  to
dispose of, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate

securities,  to the extent deemed  advisable in light of general  investment and
