10 RIGHT OF USE ASSETS AND LEASES

ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease if the

contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The contract

must also be enforceable.

To

assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, requires

judgement particularly on contracts with service contractors, which may contain embedded leases.

The Group assesses whether:

• the contract involves the use of an identified asset;

• the Group has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

• the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the

contract to each lease component on the basis of their relevant stand-alone prices. However, for the lease of land and buildings

in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease

component as a single lease component.

Some property leases contain options to renew under the contract. Judgement is applied in whether the renewable option periods

must be included in the lease term i.e. it is reasonably certain that the options to renew will be exercised. In applying judgement,

the Group also considers whether the lease term is commensurate with estimated future mine plans requirements and

environmental rehabilitation obligations associated with the property post reclamation.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Right of use asset

The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability and is adjusted by any

lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to

dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease

incentives received. The Group recognises a right of use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date. 

The right of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of

the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the end of the lease term. The right of use asset carrying value is allocated to

the CGU it belongs to and the CGU is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.

The carrying value is reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. 

Lease liability

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at commencement date over the

lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate is undeterminable, the Group’s incremental

borrowing rate. The lease term includes the non-cancellable period for which the lessee has the right to use an underlying asset

including optional periods when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease. 

Lease payments comprise fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the

index or rate as at the commencement date, and the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain

to exercise.

The lease liability is measured using the effective interest rate method. The Group re-measures the lease liability when the lease

contract is modified and this does not give rise to modification accounting, when the lease term has been changed or when the

lease payments have changed as a result of a change in an index or rate or a change in the assessment of a purchase option.

Upon remeasurement, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset or is recorded in profit

or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero. 

Right of use assets are presented in “property, plant and equipment” and lease liabilities are separately disclosed in the statement

of financial position. 

Short term leases and leases of low value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery and equipment

that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets which include IT equipment, security equipment and

administration equipment.
