     .    Unrealized potential

     .    Lackluster performance

     .    Minimal grassroots exploration

     .    Limited international experience

     .    Principal assets
          -    Twin Creeks and Lone Tree mines
          -    1.5 million acres in northern Nevada

     .    Board of Directors sought merger partner

[Slide 6]

                     A STORY OF THREE COMPANIES:  HOMESTAKE


     .    History of disappointing results

     .    Declining production and high costs

     .    Limited exploration success

     .    Minimal operating experience in Nevada

     .    Few synergies with Santa Fe's operations

     .    Proposed merger would double outstanding shares

                      A STORY OF THREE COMPANIES:  NEWMONT


 .    History of sustained growth

 .    Global leadership in exploration, technology and production

 .    Proven capabilities in processing complex ores

 .    Production growth and declining costs

 .    Discovered largest gold districts in North and South America

 .    Thirty-year operating history in Nevada

 .    The best fit to maximize value from Santa Fe's assets

[Slide 8]

                    A STORY OF THREE COMPANIES:  CONCLUSION


 .    Santa Fe + Homestake = Status Quo

 .    Santa Fe + Newmont = Sustained Profitable Growth

[Slide 9]

             WHY NEWMONT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR SHAREHOLDER VALUE

 .    Our prospects for growth are better

 .    Our costs are lower

 .    Our synergies are superior

 .    Rerating based on size alone is a myth

 .    Our transaction is accretive to Newmont shareholders; Homestake dilutes its
     shareholders' wealth

 .    We will continue to enjoy a strong financial position

                                      -9-

[Map of North Central Nevada depicting the location of certain gold "trends," 
gold deposits in and around those trends and areas accounting for more than 10 
million ounces of combined gold production, reserves and resources. The map 
depicts the relative location to each other of, and the combined production, 
reserves and resources attributable to, each of the Carlin Trend (101 million 
ounces), the Twin Creeks-Lone Tree-Trenton Trend (>45 million ounces), the 
Cortez-Pipeline-Battle Mountain Trend (>20 million ounces) and the Independence 
Trend (15 million ounces).]

             WHY NEWMONT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR SHAREHOLDER VALUE

 .    Our prospects for growth are better

 .    Our costs are lower

 .    Our synergies are superior

 .    Rerating based on size alone is a myth

 .    Our transaction is accretive to Newmont shareholders; Homestake dilutes its
     shareholders' wealth

 .    We will continue to enjoy a strong financial position
