Sorry to be a pest Mr. Gump, but my pick of NGC needs to be adjusted. All Newmont Gold shares were exchanged for Newmont Mining shares in a merger. So my 776.7 shares of NGC become 796.1175 shares of NEM. In the merger, each outstanding share of Newmont Gold common stock will be converted into 1.025 shares of Newmont Mining common stock. from the PR below. go2net.newsalert.com Newmont Mining to Acquire Remaining Shares of Newmont Gold PR Newswire - September 29, 1998 12:57 DENVER, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) announced that it will acquire the remaining 6.25 percent of Newmont Gold Company (NYSE: NGC) that it does not already own, in a tax-free merger, by issuing approximately 10.7 million shares of Newmont Mining common stock.
