Buenaventura, Newmont, B.R.G.M. and Normandy Reach Global Settlement DENVER, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Compania de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. of Peru and Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) have settled a long-standing dispute with the Bureau de Recherches Geologiques et Minieres (BRGM), a French state-owned geologic and exploration body, and Normandy Mining Ltd. of Australia over ownership of the Minera Yanacocha gold mine and a separate Peruvian mining concern, Cedimin. The settlement was effected today in accordance with the terms of an agreement which had been announced by the parties on October 20, 2000. In addition to sums previously received, BRGM and Normandy received today consideration valued at $80 million (half from Newmont in the form of common shares and half from Buenaventura in cash.) In return, BRGM and Normandy acknowledge Newmont's and Buenaventura's title to BRGM's former 24.7 percent interest in Yanacocha and Buenaventura's title to BRGM's former 65 percent interest in Cedimin, which originally owned 40 percent of Minas Conga and other Peruvian assets. Under the settlement effected today, all pending litigation and arbitration claims will be dismissed, as will claims by BRGM against the Republic of Peru. The parties also released each other from any future claims relating to these disputes.

rom: ahhaha Thursday, Dec 14, 2000 3:52 PM ET Reply # of 426 The only true way to get the dollar to weaken is for the US to pursue policies which induce structural inflation. We were starting towards that in '99 and again in '00, but it's quickly deflating. Wage driven inflation is the only circumstance that will get gold to rise. Don't be fooled by the dollar correction occurring. If it had any consequence, you wouldn't see the T-Bond and Eurodollar yields dropping rapidly. That spells raw deflation and that means downward pressure on gold.
