The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to mineral reserves that are the basis for future cash flow estimates utilized in impairment calculations and units-of-production amortization calculations; environmental, reclamation and closure obligations; estimates of recoverable gold and other minerals in stockpile and leach pad inventories; estimates of fair value for certain reporting units and asset impairments (including impairments of goodwill, long-lived assets and investments); write-downs of inventory, stockpiles and ore on leach pads to net realizable value; post-employment, post-retirement and other employee benefit liabilities; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; reserves for contingencies and litigation; and the fair value and accounting treatment of financial instruments including marketable securities and derivative instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Accordingly, actual results will differ </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">from these </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">amounts estimated in these financial statements</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">.</font></p>
CY2011 nem Reclamation And Remediation Costs
ReclamationAndRemediationCosts
Reclamation and Remediation Costs Reclamation obligations are recognized when incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to earnings. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset&#8217;s carrying value and amortized over the life of the related asset. Reclamation costs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. The reclamation obligation is based on when spending for an existing disturbance will occur. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the reclamation obligation at each mine site in accordance with ASC guidance for reclamation obligations. Future remediation costs for inactive mines are accrued based on management&#8217;s best estimate at the end of each period of the costs expected to be incurred at a site. Such cost estimates include, where applicable, ongoing care, maintenance and monitoring costs. Changes in estimates at inactive mines are reflected in earnings in the period an estimate is revised.

Under the updated guidance, an entity will have the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The update does not change how the Company performs the two-step</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> impairment</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> test under current guidance. The update is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012 with early adoption permitted.

In addition, the update require</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">d</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> certain disclosure requirements when reporting other comprehensive income.

FairValueLiabilitiesMeasuredOnRecurringBasisCommitmentsValuationTechniques
The estimated fair value of the Boddington contingent royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model which simulates future gold and copper prices and costs applicable to sales to estimate fair value. At December 31, 2011, the Company used the following long-term assumptions: 1) $1,500 per ounce gold price, 2) $3.50 per pound copper price, 3) $90 per barrel of oil, and 4) a $1.00 A$/US$ exchange rate. The Company used a 4% discount rate in the model. The contingent royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Holt sliding scale royalty was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model to simulate future gold prices utilizing a $1,500 per ounce gold price long-term assumption, various gold production scenarios based on publicly available reserve and resource information for the Holt property and a 4% weighted average discount rate. The sliding scale royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
