Summary

This 8-K filing from Newmont Mining Corporation reports a minor administrative change regarding its upcoming dividend payment. The record date for the dividend, payable on September 28, 2007, has been adjusted from September 7, 2007, to September 6, 2007. This adjustment was made at the request of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) to accommodate a non-settlement day on the originally scheduled record date. For investors, this change is primarily logistical and does not indicate any change in the dividend amount or the company's financial performance. Shareholders who are record holders on the new date of September 6, 2007, will be entitled to receive the dividend. The filing emphasizes that the change is due to operational scheduling at the ASX rather than any underlying business development.
