Our mineral reserves; future realizable cash flow; environmental, reclamation and closure obligations; valuation of business combinations, goodwill, long-lived assets, inventory, tax assets and post-employment, post-retirement and other employee benefit liabilities; reserves for contingencies and litigation require the use of various management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from estimates. Management reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis.
