The fair value was based on the expected cash flows of the Asanko Gold Mine and this resulted in a upward fair value adjustment through other comprehensive income
of US$39.4 million in 2023, due to the change in the timing of the expected cash flows.
The key inputs used in the valuation of the fair value at 31 December 2023 were the discount rate of 19.9%, the timing of the cash flows and gold price assumptions.
Any reasonable change in the timing of the cash flows or market related discount rate could have materially changed the fair value of the redeemable preference shares
(refer to note 41 for sensitivity analysis performed).
On 21 December 2023, Gold Fields announced the divestment of its 45% shareholding in Asanko Gold (both the preference shares and equity-accounted investee).
The Asanko redeemable preference shares were presented as an asset held for sale at 31 December 2023. Refer to notes 15 and 18 for further details.
