Disclosure of non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale [text block] | 21 Disposal group held for sale On July 12, 2016 the Group entered into a Share sale agreement with SH Mineral Investments Proprietary Limited (“SH Minerals”) to sell the shares of Eersteling Gold Mining Company Limited (“Eersteling”), a South African subsidiary consolidated as part of the Group, that has been on care and maintenance since 1997. It was agreed that the purchase price be settled through a non-refundable deposit of ZAR5 million and a once off payment of $3 million. By December 31, 2017 ZAR2 million of the non-refundable deposit was received and the agreement had expired. On May 31, 2018 the Group entered into a new agreement to amend the initial share sale agreement. The amended share sale agreement allowed for a purchase price of $ 3 million settled through three payments of $1 million payable on the completion date, 12 and 18 months after the completion date. The share sale agreement was suspensive, subject to the conclusion of the rock dump sale (refer note 10 ) and for SH Minerals to obtain funding for the purchase price for the sale. In February 2019 an amount of ZAR13 million ( $1 million) was received as payment towards the purchase price. The payment received in February 2019 effectively transferred the registered and beneficial ownership of Eersteling to SH Minerals and the Group relinquished control. As at December 31, 2018, management concluded that the Eersteling disposal group will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and that the sale of Eersteling had become highly probable as one of the two suspensive conditions in the new share sale agreement had been met. As at December 31, 2018 the disposal group held for sale was stated at its carrying amount.
