Close down and environmental remediation costs

Environmental remediation costs are accounted for based on the Group's best estimate of the costs of its environmental

clean-up obligations. The Group also records provisions for close down and restoration efforts based on the net present value of

estimated future costs of the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure and the removal of residual material of disturbed

areas. These provisions are expected to be settled over the next 40 years depending on the nature of the disturbance and the

technical remediation plans.

Contingencies

The Group is involved, and may become involved, in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to customer

claims, product liability, employee and retiree benefit matters and other commercial matters. The Group records provisions for

pending litigation matters when it determines that it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the

obligation, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. In some proceedings, the issues raised are or can be highly complex

and subject to significant uncertainties and amounts claimed are and can be substantial. As a result, the probability of loss and

an estimation of damages are and can be difficult to ascertain.
