Newmont Mining Corp. has denied that its Indonesian subsidiary committed any wrongdoing, although the company and its American president are facing trial over alleged dumping of toxic waste in a bay in eastern Indonesia. Wall Street analysts have said that if Newmont, the world's largest gold miner, loses the trial, it could affect investment in Indonesia, the world's fourth-most-populous country. Newmont officials say there has been no crime committed, and that its disposal processes were approved by the government.
