EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 9, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 31, 2007; Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on December 7, 2007; and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on December 26, 2007 (as amended by Amendment No. 4, the “Schedule 13D”) by Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, a federal corporation under the Canada Business Corporation Act (“Newmont Canada”), and Newmont Mining Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Newmont,” and together with Newmont Canada, the “Reporting Persons”), amends and supplements the following items of the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used and not defined have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.


Item 4.		Purpose of Transaction

		Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows: On January 4, 2008, Newmont issued a press release announcing that Acquisition Sub had taken up 189,393,986 common shares of the Issuer under the Offer and the extension of the Offer from 8:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 4, 2008 to 8:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 18, 2008. Newmont intends to acquire any common shares of the Issuer not tendered to the Offer pursuant to statutory compulsory acquisition rights. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Issuer’s Board has appointed the following Newmont appointees as officers of the Issuer to hold the correspondingly named title, Guy Lansdown, President, Britt Banks, Vice President, Russell Ball, Vice President and Controller, Randy Engel, Vice President, Blake Rhodes, Vice President, David Faley, Vice President, Sharon Thomas, Vice President and Secretary, Thomas Mahoney, Vice President and Treasurer, and Ardis Young, Assistant Secretary. Catherine McLeod-Seltzer, Anthony Pertrina, William Stanley and Christopher Pollard have resigned from the Issuer’s Board and were replaced by Newmont appointees, Russell Ball, Britt Banks, Guy Lansdown and David Faley. Newmont intends to replace all of the remaining five members of the Issuer’s Board at such time as replacement directors are selected by Newmont. On January 5, 2008, Acquisition Sub mailed its Notice of Extension, dated January 4, 2008 (the “Third Notice of Extension”), with respect to its extension of the Offer until 8:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 18, 2008 as described above. The description of the Notice of Extension is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Third Notice of Extension filed as Exhibit 7.14 to this Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.		Interest in Securities of the Issuer

		Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: (a) Newmont Canada beneficially owns 37,000,000 common shares of the Issuer, including 18,500,000 common shares that it currently owns and 18,500,000 common shares that are issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued by the Issuer that it is deemed to beneficially own. Acquisition Sub beneficially owns 189,393,986 common shares of the Issuer that have been taken up by Acquisition Sub under the Offer. Because of Newmont Canada’s ownership of 100% of the outstanding equity of Acquisition Sub, Newmont Canada is deemed for certain purposes to beneficially own all of the common shares of the Issuer owned by Acquisition Sub. Because of Newmont’s indirect ownership of 100% of the outstanding equity of Newmont Canada and Acquisition Sub, Newmont is deemed for certain purposes to beneficially own all of the 226,393,986 common shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by Newmont Canada and Acquisition Sub. Those 226,393,986 common shares represent approximately 93.45% of the 242,262,231 common shares represented to be outstanding by the Issuer to Newmont as of December 3, 2007, adjusted to account for the 18,500,000 common shares that are issuable under the warrants held by Newmont Canada. (b) Newmont Canada holds the sole power to vote and dispose of the 37,000,000 common shares beneficially owned by Newmont Canada and is deemed for certain purposes to hold the sole power to vote and dispose of the 189,393,986 common shares beneficially owned by Acquisition Sub. Newmont is deemed for certain purposes to hold the sole power to vote and dispose of the 226,393,986 common shares beneficially owned by Newmont as a result of its ownership of Newmont Canada and Newmont Canada’s ownership of Acquisition Sub.

		(c) Other than the transactions described in Items 3 and 4 above, neither Newmont Canada nor Newmont, nor any director or executive officer of Newmont Canada or Newmont, has effected any transaction in the common shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days. (d) No other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the common shares of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by Newmont Canada and Newmont. (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.		Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

		Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to replace the first paragraph set forth therein with the following: See the description of the Commitment Letter described in Item 3 above, and the Support Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements, the Take-Over Bid Circular, the Directors’ Circular, the Notice of Extension, the Second Notice of Extension, and the Third Notice of Extension described in Item 4 above, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

Item 7.		Material to Be Filed as Exhibits

		Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows: Exhibit 7.13 Press Release issued by Newmont on January 4, 2008. Incorporated by reference to the Form 8-K filed by Newmont on January 7, 2008. Exhibit 7.14 Notice of Extension, dated January 4, 2008. Incorporated by reference to the Schedule 14D-1F/A filed by Newmont and Acquisition Sub on January 7, 2008.
