Explanation of Responses:
(1) These shares were acquired initially as Newmont Gold Company ("Newmont
Gold") shares pursuant to the
Newmont Gold Retirement Savings Plan ("401-K Plan"). Effective October 7,
1998, the merger of Newmont Gold with
and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer was completed. As a result,
each share of Newmont Gold
common stock (other than shares with respect to which appraisal rights are
perfected under Delaware law and
shares already owned by the Issuer and its subsidiaries) has been converted
into the right to receive 1.025 shares
of the Issuer's common stock. Shares reported are the total as shown on the
401-K Plan statement prepared by the
Trustee of such Plan as of October 31, 1998.
