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 2024 was a $21 million decrease (2023: $31 million decrease).

c) Capital Commitments

In addition to entering into various operational commitments in the normal course of business, we had commitments of approximately $605 million at December 31, 2024 (2023: $258 million) for construction activities at our sites and projects.
