The review has taken into account updated long term metal price, foreign exchange and cost assumptions, and mining and metallurgy performance to inform cut-off grades and physical mining parameters. This has resulted in the most marginal ounces being removed from the portfolio and these are reflected in changes to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Group Mineral Resources As at 31 December 2014, Group Mineral Resources are estimated to contain 140 million ounces of gold, 20 million tonnes of copper and 130 million ounces of silver. This represents a decrease of approximately 8 million ounces of gold (~5%), 0.4 million tonnes of copper (~2%) and 1 million ounces of silver (~1%), compared with the estimate as at 31 December 2013.
