Cash-settled share-based payments (refer to note 22)<br />
At 31 December 2011 the current provision represents amounts payable to deceased beneficiaries on the Envision share scheme. The non-current<br />
provision represents amounts payable to beneficiaries of certain conditional share awards under the Bonus share scheme which vests in 2014.<br />
Environmental rehabilitation<br />
Provision is made for environmental rehabilitation costs where either a legal or constructive obligation is recognised as a result of past events.<br />
Estimates are based upon costs that are reviewed regularly and adjusted as appropriate for new circumstances.<br />
Decommissioning<br />
The decommissioning provision relates to decommissioning of property, plant and equipment where either a legal or constructive obligation is<br />
recognised as a result of past events. Estimates are based upon costs that are regularly reviewed and adjusted.<br />
Funding of environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning (refer to note 4)<br />
Contributions towards the cost of mine closure are also made to the <strong>Kumba</strong> <strong>Iron</strong> <strong>Ore</strong> Rehabilitation Trust and the balance of the trust amounted<br />
to R568 million at 31 December 2011 (2010: R372 million).<br />
Significant accounting estimates<br />
The estimation of the environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning provisions are a key area where management’s judgement is required.<br />
A change of 1% in the discount rate used in estimating the environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning provisions would result in an<br />
increase of R147.4 million (2010: R43.4 million) or a decrease of R122.3 million (2010: R35.6 million) in the carrying value of the provision.<br />
A change of one year in the expected timing of the commencement of environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning would result in an<br />
increase of R34.7 million (2010: R26.9 million) or a decrease of R33.4 million (2010: R25.8 million) in the carrying value of the provision.<br />
