Newmont Mining (ASX:NEM) Earnings Preview - Looks Solid

Newmont Mining (ASX:NEM)(NYSE:NEM) appears to have a solid quarter under its belt, which should be confirmed when they release their report.

That's up from the 40 cents a share the company generated in the same quarter last year on revenue of $1.44 billion.

The worlds second-largest gold production company has been incrementally increasing margins from 46 percent in 2005 to 57 percent in 2009.
