Dividend Detail:





DENVER, Oct. 26, 2011 /CNW/ -- Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM) ("Newmont" or the "Company) announced today its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share of common stock, an increase of 17% over the $0.30 dividend paid in the third quarter 2011, and an increase of 133% over the fourth quarter 2010 dividend. The fourth quarter 2011 dividend of $0.35 per share is payable on December 30, 2011, to holders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2011.




"The 133% increase in our dividend compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 demonstrates our commitment to returning capital to shareholders," said Richard O'Brien, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our shareholders continue to benefit from our preeminent gold price-linked dividend policy and the highest dividend yield in the industry."




The fourth quarter 2011 dividend of $0.35 per share was declared in consideration of Newmont's third quarter 2011 average realized gold price of $1,695 an ounce. Under the Company's gold price-linked dividend guideline, each quarterly dividend will be based on Newmont's average realized gold price for the preceding quarter.




The Company's quarterly gold price-linked dividend will increase at a rate of $0.05 per share for each $100 per ounce rise in the average realized gold price for the preceding quarter. The enhanced dividend policy provides an additional step up of $0.025 per share when the Company's realized gold price for a quarter exceeds $1,700 per ounce and another step up of $0.025 per share when the Company's realized gold price for a quarter exceeds $2,000 per ounce.




In addition, Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited (TSX: NMC) today declared a regular quarterly dividend of CAD $0.3535 per share on its exchangeable shares, payable December 30, 2011 to holders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2011. This dividend is designated as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian tax purposes.

Dividend Detail:




MONTREAL, Oct. 25, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI)
announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a new
normal-course-issuer bid to purchase, for cancellation, up to 17
million, or 3.82 per cent, of the common shares issued and outstanding
of the Company on Oct. 14, 2011. Approximately 444.8 million CN common
shares were issued and outstanding on that date.



CN recently completed its share repurchase program announced in January
2011
, under which it repurchased 16.5 million common shares at a
weighted-average price of C$70.55 per share, excluding brokerage fees.



The new repurchase program - starting on Oct. 28, 2011, and ending no
later than Oct. 27, 2012 - will be conducted through the facilities of
the Toronto and New York stock exchanges, or alternative trading
systems, if eligible, and will conform to their regulations. Toronto
Stock Exchange (TSX) rules will permit CN to purchase daily, through
TSX facilities, a maximum of 226,744 common shares under the Company's
new repurchase program. Purchases under the normal-course-issuer bid
will be made by means of open market transactions or such other means
as the TSX or a securities-regulatory authority may permit, including
private agreements.



The price to be paid by CN for any common shares will be the market
price at the time of acquisition, plus brokerage fees, or such other
price as the TSX may permit.



CN's management and Board of Directors believe that the repurchase by
the Company of its shares represents an appropriate use of its funds.



Luc Jobin, CN executive vice-president and chief financial officer,
said: "With a solid balance sheet and continued strong cash flow
generation, the Company believes it is well positioned to continue its
policy of rewarding shareholders by returning additional cash through a
new share buy-back program, while pursuing other business
opportunities."



CN also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a
fourth-quarter 2011 dividend on the Company's common shares
outstanding. A quarterly dividend of thirty-two and one-half cents
