2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)<br />

(t)<br />

Obligations for reclamation<br />

The Group’s obligations for reclamation consist of spending estimates at its mines in accordance with<br />

the relevant rules and regulations in Mongolia. The Group estimates its liabilities for final reclamation<br />

and mine closure based upon detailed calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash<br />

spending to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation, then discounted<br />

at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks<br />

specific to the liability such that the amount of provision reflects the present value of the expenditures<br />

expected to be required to settle the obligation. The Group records a corresponding asset associated<br />

with the liability for final reclamation and mine closure, which is included in the mining properties.<br />

The obligation and corresponding asset are recognised in the period in which the liability is incurred.<br />

The asset is depreciated on the units-of-production method over its expected life and the liability is<br />

accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions,<br />

changes in estimated costs, or changes in timing of the performance of reclamation activities), the<br />

revisions to the obligation and the corresponding asset are recognised at the appropriate discount rate.<br />

(u)<br />

Revenue recognition<br />

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Provided it is<br />

probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue and costs, if applicable,<br />

can be measured reliably, revenue is recognised in profit or loss as follows:<br />

(i)<br />

Sale of goods<br />

Revenue associated with the sale of coal is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership<br />

of the goods have been passed to the customer. Revenue excludes value added tax or other<br />

sales taxes and is after deduction of any trade discounts and volume rebates.<br />

(ii)<br />

Interest income<br />

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.<br />
