4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)<br />

Interest revenue<br />

For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest bearing financial assets classified<br />

as available for sale, interest income or expense is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which<br />

is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life<br />

of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the<br />

financial asset or liability. Interest income is included in finance revenue in profit or loss.<br />

Share-based employee remuneration<br />

The Group operates equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees. None of the<br />

Group's plans feature any options for a cash settlement.<br />

All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any share-based payment are measured at<br />

their fair values. Where employees are rewarded using share-based payments, the fair values of<br />

employees' services are determined indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments<br />

granted. This fair value is measured at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and<br />

excludes the impact of non-market vesting conditions (for example profitability and sales growth targets<br />

and performance conditions).<br />

All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a<br />

corresponding credit to the 'share option reserve,' over the period during which the related share-based<br />

remuneration vests.<br />

If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period,<br />

based on the best available estimate of the number of share options expected to vest. Non-market<br />

vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become<br />

exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised, if there is any indication that the number of share<br />

options expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is<br />

recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior periods if<br />

share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.<br />

Upon exercise of share options, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs<br />

up to the nominal value of the shares issued and the related share-based compensation included in<br />

‘share option reserve’ are allocated to share capital.<br />

Share-based payments to non-employees<br />

When options to purchase shares are issued to non-employees in return for goods and services, the fair<br />

value of the options issued is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in the ‘share<br />

option reserve’, in the period in which the goods or services are received or are expected to be received.<br />

Other share-based payments<br />

Shares issued as payment for the acquisition of mineral property interests are recorded at the trading<br />

value of the shares on a public exchange on the date they are issued.<br />
