Item 1.       

  Security and Issuer
  This Schedule 13D relates to the common shares of Miramar Mining Corporation, with its principal executive office located at Suite 300-899 Harbourside Drive, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V7P 3S1. This Schedule 13D supercedes the Schedule 13G previously filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) with respect to the common shares on June 1, 2007.

Item 2.       

  Identity and Background
  This statement is filed on behalf of Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (“Newmont Canada”), a federal corporation under the Canada Business Corporation Act, and Newmont Mining Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Newmont,” and together with Newmont Canada, the “Reporting Persons”). Newmont owns indirectly 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Newmont Canada.
  Newmont Canada is a precious metals company, having its principal address at:
  Suite 1900, Box 2005
  20 Eglinton Avenue West
  Toronto, Ontario M4R 1K8
  Canada
  Newmont is a company principally engaged in the production of gold and exploration for gold, and the acquisition and development of gold properties worldwide, having its principal address at:
  1700 Lincoln Street
  Denver, Colorado 80203
  Set forth in Annex A and Annex B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference are (1) the name, (2) the principal office, business or residence address, (3) the position and present principal occupation or employment, and the name and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, and (4) citizenship of each executive officer and director of Newmont Canada and Newmont. The officers and directors of Acquisition Sub (defined below) are Robert J. Gallagher, Director and President; Britt D. Banks, Director and Vice President, and Blake M. Rhodes, Director and Secretary, and applicable information with respect to the individuals who are officers and directors of Acquisition Sub is also included in Annex B.
  During the past five years, none of Newmont Canada, Newmont or Acquisition Sub, nor any executive officer or director of Newmont Canada, Newmont or Acquisition Sub, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.       

  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
  Newmont may finance the acquisition of common shares under the Offer described in Item 4 below with general corporate funds, its existing revolving credit facility attached as Exhibit 7.2 hereto, or under a commitment for short-term revolving credit, or with a combination of the foregoing. With respect to the commitment for short-term revolving credit, Newmont has received a commitment letter from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. on behalf of its affiliated companies to provide a senior, unsecured, short-term revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of U.S. $1,300,000,000 (the “Commitment Letter”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 7.5 hereto. The initial acquisition of 18,500,000 common shares in 2005 was financed with corporate funds.

Item 4.       

  Purpose of Transaction
  Newmont Canada originally acquired the 18,500,000 common shares and 18,500,000 warrants in November, 2005 for investment purposes. Effective as of October 8, 2007, Newmont, Newmont Mining B.C. Limited, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont (“Acquisition Sub”), and the Issuer have entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, (i) Acquisition Sub has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to make an offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of the Issuer, plus all shares to be issued upon the exercise of stock options, for C$6.25 per share, (ii) the Issuer has agreed to support and recommend the Offer, and (iii) Newmont has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Acquisition Sub. Concurrently with the execution of the Support Agreement, each senior officer and director of the Issuer (who are listed on Annex C) has entered into an agreement (collectively, the “Lock-Up Agreements”) with Acquisition Sub pursuant to which such directors and officers have agreed to deposit their common shares in the Offer, and not to take any action that may adversely affect or reduce the likelihood of the successful completion of the transactions contemplated by the Support Agreement; provided, that nothing in the Lock-Up Agreements prevents the signatories that are directors of the Issuer from taking any action, in that capacity, that is permitted pursuant to the Support Agreement and applicable law.

 

Page 5 of 12


 

The obligation of Acquisition Sub to take up and pay for common shares under the Offer will be subject to certain conditions (which are for the benefit of and may be waived by the Offeror) including there having been validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn at the expiration of the Offer that number of common shares that, together with common shares held by Acquisition Sub and its affiliates, constitutes at least 66 2/3% of the common shares then outstanding (calculated on a fully-diluted basis as determined in the Support Agreement). The Issuer has agreed (among other matters) not to take any action that might reasonably be expected to, directly or indirectly, interfere with the successful acquisition of all of the common shares by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer, the exercise of statutory compulsory acquisition rights or through a second-stage transaction, but such covenant does not prevent the Issuer’s board of directors from withdrawing, modifying or qualifying (or proposing to withdraw, modify or qualify) its approval or recommendation of the Offer or engaging in discussions or negotiations to effect an alternative transaction in certain prescribed circumstances set forth in the Support Agreement.

 

The Issuer also has agreed (among other matters) to keep Acquisition Sub apprised of all material matters relating to the business, conduct or operations of its Hope Bay and Con Mine Projects, and to use reasonable best efforts to preserve intact its present business organization and its relationships with those having material business dealings with it in order that its goodwill and business shall be maintained until the earlier of the time of (i) the appointment to the board of directors of the Issuer of persons designated by Acquisition Sub within five business days of Acquisition Sub first having taken up and paid for common shares under the Offer and (ii) the termination of the Support Agreement.

 

Upon the occurrence of customary termination events, including if the board of directors of the Issuer withdraws, modifies, changes or qualifies its support of the Offer, the Issuer is required to make a cash termination payment to Acquisition Sub of C$41.4 million.

  Descriptions of the Support Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreements are qualified in their entirety by the actual terms of the Support Agreement and the form of Lock-Up Agreement which are filed as Exhibit 7.3 and Exhibit 7.4 to this Schedule and are incorporated herein by reference. The signatories of the Lock-Up Agreements and the number of shares and options they hold are listed in Annex C, and the information in Annex C is incorporated by reference herein.
  Upon the consummation of the Offer, Newmont intends to alter the composition of the board of directors of the Issuer, although Newmont has not yet determined its intention as to the number, term or identity of those directors.
  Newmont has not evaluated what changes it might effect to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, or whether additional changes might be made to the business or corporate structure of the Issuer. If the Offer is consummated, Newmont intends to replace the Issuer’s charter and bylaws to reflect the Issuer as a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont, following the exercise of statutory compulsory acquisition rights or through a second-stage transaction. If the Offer is consummated, Newmont intends that the common shares of the Issuer will be de-listed from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange, following the exercise of statutory compulsory acquisition rights or through a second-stage transaction, and that such common shares would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and application would be made for the Issuer to cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws.
  Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals relating to any of the following: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure including but not limited to, if the Issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act (upon reduction of the number of stockholders to less than 300); or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.       

  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
  (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 that it is deemed to beneficially own. Those 37,000,000 common shares represent approximately 15.5% of the 220,807,634 common shares represented to be outstanding by the Issuer in the Support Agreement described in Item 4 above, adjusted to account for the 18,500,000 common shares that are issuable under the warrants held by Newmont Canada. Newmont directly owns no common shares of the Issuer. Because of its indirect ownership of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Newmont Canada, Newmont is deemed for certain purposes to beneficially own all common shares of the Issuer owned by Newmont Canada. Guy Lansdown, a Senior Vice President of Newmont Mining Corporation, beneficially owns 900 common shares of the Issuer, which were acquired in 1997 in open market purchases.
  (b) Newmont Canada holds the sole power to vote and dispose of the 37,000,000 common shares owned by Newmont Canada. Newmont is deemed for certain purposes to hold the sole power to vote and dispose of the 37,000,000 common shares beneficially owned by Newmont as a result of its ownership of Newmont Canada. Mr. Lansdown holds the sole power to vote and dispose of the 900 common shares that he beneficially owns.
  (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, Newmont and Mr. Lansdown.
  (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.       

  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
  See the description of the Commitment Letter described in Item 4 above, and the Support Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreements described in Item 4 above and incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
  The 18,500,000 common shares and 18,500,000 warrants that are held by Newmont Canada were acquired by Newmont Canada pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2005 (the “Subscription Agreement”), between the Issuer and Newmont Canada. The Subscription Agreement provides for the right of Newmont Canada to participate in any further financings of the Issuer, including equity, convertible debt, non-convertible debt or project financing, up to 19.99%, so long as Newmont Canada holds at least 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer (calculated after giving effect to the warrants). The Subscription Agreement further provides that the Issuer will cooperate with Newmont Canada on certain technical, financial and permitting issues with respect to the Issuer’s Hope Bay project. The Subscription Agreement restricts Newmont Canada from increasing its

  ownership of common shares of the Issuer above 19.99% of its aggregate common shares (calculated after giving effect to the warrants) for four years from the date of the Subscription Agreement without the consent of the Issuer, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Issuer has consented to the making of the Offer and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by the Support Agreement. The Subscription Agreement also provides for certain restrictions on the ability of Newmont Canada to sell its shares or warrants, which restrictions have been waived in the Support Agreement in connection with the Offer. The description of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Subscription Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 7.1 to this Schedule and is incorporated herein by reference.
  Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
