Accounting policies Accounting convention The financial information has been prepared under the historical costconvention. Compliance with accounting standards The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the applicableUnited Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally AcceptedAccounting Practice), which have been applied consistently. Mineral rights and reserves The company follows the "full cost" method of accounting for the costsassociated with exploration, appraisal, development and production of mineralreserves. Evaluated mineral assets are held in separately designatedgeographical cost pools. The costs of acquisition of property (including rightsand concessions), geological and geophysical costs, costs of field productionfacilities, and plant and equipment are classified as tangible assets if theyrelate to proved and probable mineral properties. All costs associated with property acquisition, exploration and development arecapitalised regardless of whether they result in commercial discoveries or not.Producing mineral assets are depleted by pool on a unit of production method inthe proportion of actual production for the period to the total remainingcommercial reserves. Reserves are those estimated at the end of the period plusproduction during the period. For depletion purposes only, the cost baseincludes costs of capital assets and anticipated future development expenditure. Pre-license acquisition, exploration and appraisal costs of individual licenseinterests are held outside cost pools until the existence or otherwise ofcommercial reserves are established. These costs remain un-depreciated asintangible exploration and development costs until this determination is made.When a positive determination is made the cost is transferred to a cost pool anddepreciated. If a license interest is determined to be non-commercial the costis written off. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchangeruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchangeruling at the balance sheet date and the gains or losses on translation areincluded in the profit and loss account. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financialstatements of all the entities that comprise the consolidated entity, being thecompany (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries. A list of subsidiaries appearsin Note 7. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation andpresentation of the consolidated financial statements. On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of asubsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Anyexcess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable netassets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fairvalues of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of acquisition,the deficiency is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition. The interest of minority shareholders is stated at the minority's proportion ofthe fair values of the assets and liabilities recognised. The consolidated financial statements include the information and results ofeach subsidiary from the date on which the company obtains control and untilsuch time as the company ceases to control such entity. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balancesand transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entityare eliminated in full.
