1 Represents assets under construction at our operating minesites. b) Changes in Gold and Copper Mineral Life of Mine Plan As part of our annual business cycle, we prepare updated estimates of proven and probable gold and copper mineral reserves and the portion of resources considered probable of economic extraction for each mineral property. This forms the basis for our LOM plans. We prospectively revise calculations of amortization expense for property, plant and equipment amortized using the UOP method, where the denominator is our LOM ounces. The effect of changes in our LOM on amortization expense for 2022 was an $80 million decrease (2021: $128 million decrease). c) Capital Commitments In addition to entering into various operational commitments in the normal course of business, we had commitments of approximately $399 million at December 31, 2022 (2021: $443 million) for construction activities at our sites and projects. d) Other Lease Disclosure The Company leases various buildings, plant and equipment as part of the normal course of operations. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Refer to note 25 for a lease maturity analysis. Included in net income for 2022 are short-term payments and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities of $6 million (2021: $10 million) and $88 million (2021: $67 million), respectively.
