Accounting policy
Contingent consideration is initially recognised at fair value in accordance with IFRS 3. Changes in the fair value of the liability
subsequent to initial recognition are included in the income statement.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The contingent consideration liability comprises of the contingent consideration included as part of the consideration transferred
for the acquisition of the Mponeng operations and related assets and Eva Copper.
The Mponeng contingent consideration liability was valued using the discounted cash flow valuation method. As at
30 June 2025, the contingent consideration was valued using a post-tax real discount rate of 10.8% (2024: 10.5%). Refer to
note 14 for exchange rate assumptions and other estimates used in the life-of-mine plans.
The Eva Copper contingent consideration liability was valued using a probability weighted method for the new resource payment
and a discounted cash flow valuation for the excess payment. Refer to note 13 for further details on the assumptions applied on
initial recognition. As at 30 June 2025, the contingent consideration was valued using a post-tax nominal discount rate of 11.4%
(2024: 11.4%).
The fair value calculated for the contingent consideration liability is level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of
unobservable inputs.
The contingent consideration liability is attributable to the following business combinations:

(a)The contingent consideration for Mponeng has two parts associated with it. The first part consists of US$260 per ounce
payable on all underground production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines in excess of 250 000 ounces per
year for six years commencing 1 January 2021. The second part is subject to US$20 per ounce payable on underground
production from the Mponeng, Savuka and Tau Tona mines sourced from levels developed in the future below the current
infrastructure. 
The remeasurement for both parts during the 2025 financial year amounted to R427 million (2024: R291 million), mainly
as a result of changes in the production profile.
(b)The contingent consideration for Eva Copper is subject to two criteria. The first criteria is a maximum of US$30 million
payable via a 10% sharing of net incremental revenue above US$3.80/Ib Cu (excess payment). The second criteria is a
maximum US$30 million payable on a new copper resource discovered and declared within the acquired tenements,
calculated using a resource multiple of US$0.03/Ib Cu (new resource payment). These criteria are applicable for the entire
life of the operation until the maximum payments are reached. 
The remeasurement for the 2025 financial year amounted to R403 million (2024: R193 million). This increase was
predominantly as a result of the declaration of additional mineral resources and includes an amount of R264 million which
is due in September 2025.
