Fair value hierarchy 
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: a) in the principal market for the asset or
liability, or b) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The
principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. 
 
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. 
 
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the
asset in its highest and best use. 
 
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. 
 
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the interim consolidated financial statements
are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement as a whole: 
 
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
 
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable 
 
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable 
 
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. 
 
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the
nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. 
 
Valuation techniques 
 
The following valuation techniques were used to estimate the fair values: 
 
Option and forward foreign exchange contracts 
 
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with
investment grade credit ratings. The foreign currency forward (Level 2) contracts are measured based on observable spot
exchange rates, the yield curves of the respective currencies as well as the currency basis spreads between the respective
currencies. The foreign currency option contracts are valued using the Garmam-Kohlhagen formula, the significant inputs to
which include observable spot exchange rates, interest rates and the volatility of the currency. 
 
Silverstream contract 
 
The fair value of the Silverstream contract is determined using a valuation model (for further information relating to the
Silverstream contract see note 10). This derivative has a term of over 20 years and the valuation model utilises a number
of inputs that are not based on observable market data due to the nature of these inputs and/or the duration of the
contract. Inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are the volume of silver that will be produced
and sold from the Sabinas mine over the contract life, the future price of silver, future foreign exchange rates between
the Mexican peso and US dollar, future inflation and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. 
 
The estimate of the volume of silver that will be produced and sold from the Sabinas mine requires estimates of the
recoverable silver reserves and resources, the related production profile based on the Sabinas mine plan and the expected
recovery of silver from ore mined. The estimation of these inputs is subject to a range of operating assumptions and may
change over time. Estimates of reserves and resources are updated annually by Peñoles, the operator and sole interest
holder in the Sabinas mine and provided to the Company. The production profile and estimated payable silver that will be
recovered from ore mined is based on the latest plan and estimates, also provided to the Company by Peñoles. The inputs
assume no interruption in production over the life of the Silverstream contract and production levels which are consistent
with those achieved in recent years. 
 
Management regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs
described above, and determines their impact on the total fair value. The significant unobservable inputs are not
interrelated. The fair value of the Silverstream is not significantly sensitive to a reasonable change in future exchange
rates, however, it is to a reasonable change in future silver price, future inflation and the discount rate used to
discount future cash flows. 
 
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Silverstream contract valuation to reasonably possible change those
inputs:

Quoted investments 
 
Fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is derived from quoted market prices in active markets. 
 
Interest-bearing loans 
 
Fair value of the Group's interest-bearing loan, is derived from quoted market prices in active markets. 
 
Loans with related parties 
 
Fair value of the Group's loan from related party is determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market
interest rates at each reporting date. 
 
Embedded derivatives within sales contracts: 
 
Sales of concentrates, precipitates and doré bars are 'provisionally priced' and revenue is initially recognised using this
provisional price and the Group's best estimate of the contained metal. Revenue is subject to final price and metal content
adjustments subsequent to the date of delivery. This price exposure is considered to be an embedded derivative and is
separated from the sales contract. 
 
At each reporting date the provisionally priced metal content is revalued based on the forward selling price for the
quotational period stipulated in the relevant sales contract. The selling price of metals can be reliably measured as these
metals are actively traded on international exchanges but the estimated metal content is a non-observable input to this
valuation. 
 
At 30 June 2014 the fair value of embedded derivatives within sales contracts was US$4.6 million (31 December 2013:
US$(1.2) million). The revaluation effects of embedded derivatives arising from these sales contracts are recorded as an
adjustment to revenue.
