Fair Value Liabilities Measured On Recurring Basis Commitments Valuation Techniques
FairValueLiabilitiesMeasuredOnRecurringBasisCommitmentsValuationTechniques
|
The estimated 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. At March 31, 2012 the Company used the following long-term price 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 an approximately 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 long-term gold price assumption of $1,500 per ounce, various gold production scenarios based on publicly available reserve and resource information for the Holt property and an approximately 4% weighted average discount rate. The sliding scale royalty liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. | |

The Company estimated the fair value of the auction rate securities based on weighted average risk calculations using cash flow assumptions discounted approximately 42%, which reflects an estimated discount for lack of marketability. The Company estimated the fair value of its asset backed commercial paper using a probability of return ranging from 13%-74% for each class of notes, which is reflective of information reviewed regarding the separate classes of securities. | |
