Fair value
Fair value is determined using valuation techniques as outlined below, unless the instrument is traded in an active market. Where possible, inputs
are based on quoted prices and other market determined variables.
Fair value hierarchy
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly
(derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Sensitivity analysis
Contingent consideration – Mponeng
As at 30 June 2025, the contingent consideration asset ($19m) was valued using a discount rate of 7.3% (2024: 8.0%) and production plans over
the period as received from Harmony. The fair value calculated for the contingent consideration asset is level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the
use of unobservable inputs. As at 30 June 2025, no portion of the contingent consideration related to Harmony developing below infrastructure has
been included in the contingent consideration asset as this project is at an early stage.
A reasonable possible change in the number of ounces used in the probability weighted calculation would not have a material impact on the fair
value of the contingent consideration asset.
Contingent consideration – Gramalote
As at 30 June 2025, the contingent consideration asset ($26m) was valued using a discount rate of 9.4% (2024: 9.4%) and future stage gate
payments as per the purchase agreement. The assumptions used in the valuation included the timing and probability of contingent considerations.
A reasonable possible change in the assumptions used in the probability weighted calculation would not have a material impact on the fair value of
the contingent consideration asset.
Contingent consideration – Mansala and ABC
As at 30 June 2025, the contingent consideration asset ($34m) was valued using a discount rate of 9.0% for Mansala and 12.0% for ABC and
future contingent considerations as per the purchase agreement. The assumptions used in the valuation included the timing and probability of
contingent considerations.
A reasonable possible change in the assumptions used in the probability weighted calculation would not have a material impact on the fair value of
the contingent consideration asset.
