Asset Impairments
The non-cash impairment charge of $201.0 million pre-tax related to the following assets:
-
idle and surplus equipment in the Murray Basin of $156 million pre-tax, including the Douglas wet concentrator, mining unit and other equipment, as well as the mining unit and wet concentrator utilised for the Woornack, Rownack, Pirro deposits. In the case of this equipment, some was previously considered able to be utilised for a Balranald conventional mine development, which has been passed over in favour of an unconventional mining approach;
-
in the Murray Basin, Iluka is continuing with trialling and evaluating an unconventional, underground mining approach for Balranald following the cessation of work associated with the conventional mine development. As a consequence, $20 million of capitalised costs associated with feasibility work for the conventional method have been impaired; and
-
$25 million related to exploration and evaluation assets previously capitalised, as well as mine reserves in the Perth and Murray Basins have been impaired. This category includes a number of areas where no further work is contemplated.
Provisions for Rehabilitation
Provisioning for rehabilitation and mine closure activities, has been increased by $45 million, with the total Group provision increasing to $528 million. The majority of the increase ($41 million) relates to the now discontinued United States operations in Virginia and Florida.
For Iluka’s now discontinued United States’ operations, the provision has been increased by US$30 million or A$41 million. The increase in the provision relates to the company’s former operating assets in the United States, including Virginia which was idled at the end of 2015 and is now undergoing rehabilitation as a closed site, and Florida, which was closed in 2009.
The increase in rehabilitation provisions in the United States follows an extensive review in the last 12 months and relates to the refinement of estimates including the current scope of work, approach to undertaking the required work and a change in methodology for calculating the amount of contingency. In the second half of 2016, the focus of the US activities shifted from being an idled site ready to restart should market conditions improve, to a permanently closed site, the primary purpose of which is to rehabilitate in a cost effective and responsible manner. This clarification resulted in a number of costs previously forecast as operating expenses, being incorporated into the provision estimate. The US rehabilitation provision at December 2016 is now $104 million.
Of the $45 million increase, $43 million relates to closed sites, which is charged against the profit and loss statement and $2 million relates to open sites, which is reflected on the balance sheet.

Note: Mineral Sand Other includes movements in: rehabilitation and holding costs ($39.9) million and resource development ($21.0) million. The year-on-year change in resource development expenditure was largely due to expenditure related to Balranald underground mining with total expenditure of $36.0 million in 2016 (2015: $15.0 million), slightly offset by lower exploration expenditure (down $2.7 millon).

Note: HGO (high grade ore) refers to titanium feedstocks with greater than 80 per cent TiO2 content. Iluka’s HGO products include rutile, HyTi and synthetic rutile and are sold for use in chloride pigment process. EMEAI – Europe, Middle East, Africa, India.
1 It should be noted that Iluka sales of HGO (rutile/synthetic rutile) to China are low (less than 10kt); most of the sales reflected here are to Asia and Australia.
