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).
The table below represents financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date, or for which fair value is disclosed at
30 June 2026.

Sensitivity analysis
Contingent consideration – Mponeng
As at 30 June 2026, the contingent consideration asset of $5m (2025: $23m) was valued using production plans over the contingent
consideration  period as received from Harmony. The cash flows were not discounted in 2026 as the contingent consideration asset is
considered current. As at 30 June 2026, 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 2026, the contingent consideration asset of $18m (2025: $18m) was valued using a discount rate of 10.6% (2025: 10.6%)
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 2026, the contingent consideration asset of $17m (2025: $14m) for ABC and $23m (2025: $23m) for Mansala was valued
using a discount rate of 9.0% (2025: 9.3%) for Mansala and 12.0% (2025: 12.8%) 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.
Contingent consideration asset – MSG
As at 30 June 2026, the contingent consideration asset of $48m (2025: $44m) was valued using a discount rate of 8% (2025: 8%) and
production plans over the contingent consideration period and forecasted gold prices.
A reasonable possible change in the ounces of gold produced or the gold price used in the calculation would not have a material impact on
the fair value of the contingent consideration asset.
