Newmont Mining Corp., battling pollution allegations in two countries, said it was vindicated by a health report concluding Indonesian villagers were apparently not sickened by mercury it was accused of dumping from its gold mine there. However, even as Indonesia's health ministry released the study by the World Health Organization (WHO), police said they were passing the case to prosecutors, who could charge company officials accused of dumping toxic waste. On another front, Newmont, the world's No. 1 gold producer, suffered a setback in Turkey, where a court rejected its appeal to reopen a gold mine accused of soil contamination.
