1. Basis of presentation and going concern assumption

Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. is a mining development and exploration company incorporated in Canada which, together with its subsidiaries and joint venture (collectively referred to as the Company), is focused on the exploration, development and recovery of minerals and precious metals from its property interests located primarily in Africa.

The registered and records office of the Company is located at Suite 654-999 Canada Place, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3E1. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the ticker symbol IVN. The shares of the Company are also traded on the OTCQX Best Market in the United States of America under the symbol IVPAF.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis with the exception of financial instruments and share-based payments which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The financial statements are also prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company has an accumulated profit of $50.1 million at June 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019: $63.6 million). As at June 30, 2020, the Company's total assets exceeds its total liabilities by $2,296.3 million (December 31, 2019: $2,362.9 million) and current assets exceeds current liabilities by $540.5 million (December 31, 2019: $684.4 million). The Company currently has no producing properties and expects to fund all of its exploration and development activities through cash resources, debt and equity financing until operating revenues are generated.

2. Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated, and are as follows:

(a) Statement of compliance

The Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. Results for the period ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of future results. The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its most recent annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 except for the adoption of the new and revised accounting standards mentioned in Note 3.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates can, by definition, only approximate the actual results. Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

June 30, 2020

(Stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted) (Unaudited)

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Significant accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

Significant accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments.

Significant accounting estimates and judgments include, amongst other things, the recoverability of assets, the determination of the functional currency, technical feasibility and commercial viability of projects, the classification of Kamoa Holding Limited as a joint venture and the determination of inputs into lease accounting.

(c) Future accounting changes

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not effective during the period ended June 30, 2020. The Company has not yet adopted these new and amended standards.

Amendment to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. (i)

The Company has considered the amendment and assessed that it will have no material impact on adoption.

Amendment to IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment. The amendments prohibit an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management. Instead an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the cost of producing these items, in profit or loss. (i)

The Company has considered the amendment and assessed that it will have no material impact on adoption.

Amendment to IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The amendments specify which costs should be included in an entity's assessment of whether a contract will be loss making.

The Company has considered the amendment and assessed that it will have no material impact on adoption.

(i) Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(Stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted) (Unaudited)

3. Application of new and revised standards

The following standards became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The Company adopted these standards in the current period and they did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements unless specifically mentioned below.

  • Amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amendment to the definition of a business confirmed that a business must include inputs and a process and clarified that the process must be substantive and that the inputs and process must together significantly contribute to creating outputs. Furthermore, the amendment narrowed the definition of a business by focusing the definition of outputs on goods and services provided to customers and other income from ordinary activities, rather than providing dividends or other economic benefits directly to investors or lowering costs.
  • Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments clarify and align the definition of 'material' and provide guidance to help improve consistency in the application of that concept whenever it is used in IFRS Standards.
  • Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The amendment relates to providing lessee's with an exemption from assessing whether a COVID-19 related rent concession (a rent concession that reduces lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021) is a lease modification.

4. Investment in joint venture

Kamoa Holding Limited ("Kamoa Holding"), a joint venture between the Company and Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. ("Zijin"), holds a direct 80% interest in the Kamoa-Kakula Project. The Company holds an effective 39.6% interest in the Project through its 49.5% shareholding in Kamoa Holding. Zijin also holds 49.5% of Kamoa Holding while the remaining 1% share interest is held by privately-owned Crystal River Global Limited ("Crystal River") (see Note 9). The DRC government holds the remaining 20% of the Kamoa-Kakula Project. The Project is independently ranked as the world's fourth largest copper deposit by international mining consultant Wood Mackenzie.

On February 6, 2019, the Company announced the results from the Kakula 2019 pre-feasibility study (PFS) at the Kamoa-Kakula Project. The study assessed the potential development of the Kakula Deposit as a six million tonne per annum (Mtpa) mining and processing complex, which the Kamoa-Kakula Project is currently developing. The Kakula mill will be constructed in two modules of 3.8 Mtpa each as the mining operations ramp-up, with first copper concentrate production at the Kamoa-Kakula Project currently planned for the third quarter of 2021.

The costs associated with mine development at the Kamoa-Kakula Project's Kansoko and Kakula sites are capitalized as property, plant and equipment in a subsidiary of Kamoa Holding. Expenditure attributable to exploration is expensed in 2020.

(ii) The DRC government holds a direct 20% interest in the Kamoa-Kakula Project. A 5%, nondilutable interest in the project was transferred to the DRC government on September 11, 2012 for no consideration, pursuant to the 2002 DRC mining code. Following the signing of an agreement in November 2016, an additional 15% interest in the project was transferred to the DRC government.

(i) On March 21, 2014, a financing agreement was entered into between a subsidiary of Kamoa Holding and La Société Nationale d'Electricité SARL ("SNEL") relating to the first stage upgrade of two existing hydroelectric power plants in the DRC to feed up to 113 MW into the national power supply grid and for the supply of electricity to the Kamoa-Kakula Project.

Under the agreement, the subsidiary of Kamoa Holding agreed to provide a loan relating to the power upgrade, which is estimated to be $141 million (including a $4.5 million pre-finance loan), but is capped at a maximum commitment of $250 million. The loan advanced as at June 30, 2020 by the subsidiary of Kamoa Holding amounted to $116.7 million (December 31, 2019: $115.2 million).

The term for repayment of accrued interest and future costs is estimated to be 15 years, beginning after the expiry of a two year grace period from the signing date of the agreement. The actual repayment period will ultimately depend on the amount actually financed and on the amounts deducted from electricity bills based on a fixed percentage of 40% of the actual bill as per the loan repayment terms. Interest is earned at a rate of USD 6 month LIBOR + 3%. The Kamoa-Kakula Project will be given a priority electricity right by which SNEL commits to make available as per an agreed power requirements schedule, sufficient energy from its grid to meet the energy needs of the project and following the upgrade, on an exclusivity and priority basis, up to 200 MW depending on the production and mine expansion scenarios.

5. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Assets under construction includes development costs capitalized as property, plant and equipment which are costs incurred to obtain access and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering, transporting and storing the minerals. Costs incurred at the Platreef Project are deemed necessary to bring the Project to commercial production and are therefore capitalized (see Note 6). Until December 31, 2019, costs incurred at the Kipushi Project were also deemed necessary to bring the project to commercial production and were therefore capitalized. The Kipushi Project was placed under care and maintenance during Q1 2020, therefore all costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2020 have been expensed.

Borrowing costs capitalized includes the interest incurred and the low interest loan accretion on the loan payable to ITC Platinum Development Limited (see Note 15(i)).

Assets pledged as security

Buildings with a carrying amount of $8.9 million (December 31, 2019: $9.5 million) have been pledged to secure borrowings of the Company (see Note 15(ii)). The buildings have been pledged as security for bank loans under a mortgage. The Company is not allowed to pledge these assets as security for other borrowings or to sell them to another entity.

6. Mineral properties and exploration and project expenditure

Mineral properties

The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company's mineral property interests as described below:

June 30, December 31,
2020 2019
$'000 $'000
Platreef property, South Africa (a) 6,940 6,940
Kipushi Properties, Democratic Republic of Congo (b) 252,337 252,337
Other properties (c) 5,047 5,047
264,324 264,324

Costs directly related to the acquisition of mineral properties are capitalized as mineral properties on a property by property basis, whereas development costs are capitalized as property, plant and equipment and are costs incurred to obtain access and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering, transporting and storing the minerals. Development costs are capitalized to the extent that they are necessary to bring the property to commercial production.

(a) Platreef property

Construction of the planned Platreef mine is underway on the Company's discovery of palladium, platinum, nickel, copper, gold and rhodium on the Northern Limb of South Africa's Bushveld Igneous Complex approximately 8 km from Mokopane and 280 km northeast of Johannesburg, South Africa.

In November 2014 the mining right for the development and operation of the Company's Platreef mining project was notorially executed. The mining right authorizes the Company to mine and process platinum-group metals, nickel, copper, gold, silver, cobalt, iron, vanadium and chrome at its Platreef discovery. The mining right was issued for an initial period of 30 years and may be renewed for further periods, each of which may not exceed 30 years at a time, in accordance with the terms of section 24 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act of South Africa.

6. Mineral properties and exploration and project expenditure (continued)

(a) Platreef property (continued)

The Company announced the positive results of the pre-feasibility study for the planned first phase of the Platreef Project's platinum-group metals, nickel, copper and gold mine in South Africa in January 2015 and the independent, definitive feasibility study (DFS) in July 2017.

A Japanese consortium of ITOCHU Corporation, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation; and Japan Gas Corporation holds an effective 10% interest in the Platreef Project. The Company transferred an additional 26% of Platreef to a broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) special purpose vehicle in compliance with South African ownership requirements.

(b) Kipushi properties

The Kipushi Project is a past-producing, high-grade underground zinc-copper-silver-leadgermanium mine in the Central African Copperbelt, in Haut-Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). The Kipushi Project lies adjacent to the town of Kipushi and the border with Zambia, and about 30 km southwest of the provincial capital of Lubumbashi. Ivanhoe Mines and La Générale des Carrières et des Mines SARL ("Gecamines") own 68% and 32% of the Kipushi Project respectively, through their holdings in Kipushi Corporation SA ("Kipushi"), the mining rights holder.

Ivanhoe Mines' interest in Kipushi was acquired in November 2011 and comprises mining rights for zinc, copper and cobalt as well as the underground workings and related infrastructure, inclusive of a series of vertical mine shafts.

Costs incurred at the Kipushi Project subsequent to the finalization of its pre-feasibility study in December 2017, were capitalized as property, plant and equipment until December 31, 2019. In response to government-imposed travel restrictions and emergency protocols being introduced worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kipushi has temporarily suspended operations in order to reduce the risk to the workforce and local communities. The project is maintaining a small workforce to conduct care and maintenance activities, and to maintain pumping operations. All costs incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2020 have been expensed.

(c) Other properties

The Company's DRC exploration group is targeting Kamoa-Kakula style copper mineralization through a regional drilling program on its 100% owned Western Foreland exploration licences, located to the north, south and west of the Kamoa-Kakula Project.

(d) Kamoa-Kakula properties

The Company is a joint venturer in the Kamoa-Kakula Project which is located within the Central African Copperbelt in Lualaba Province, DRC. The Kamoa-Kakula Project lies approximately 25 km west of the town of Kolwezi, and about 270 km west of Lubumbashi (see Note 4).

Current loans receivable 54,545 -
94,777 91,955

(i) In April 2019, the Company extended a secured loan of $50 million to High Power Exploration Inc. (HPX). The loan receivable has a two-year maturity and earns interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Interest of $2.0 million was earned during the six months ended June 30, 2020 (see Note 25).

The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is convertible in whole, or in part, by Ivanhoe at its sole discretion into shares of treasury common stock of HPX and/or a subsidiary of HPX. The loan is secured by a pledge of shares of an HPX subsidiary in the United States which is pursuing a Tier One copper-gold exploration and development project.

(ii) A long term loan receivable from Gecamines of $10 million was ceded to the Company on completion of the purchase of Kipushi on November 28, 2011, by the seller. An additional $20 million was requested and advanced to Gecamines during November 2012.

The loan receivable is unsecured and earns interest at USD 12 month LIBOR plus 3%. Repayment will be made by offsetting the loan against future royalties and dividends payable to Gecamines from future profits earned at Kipushi. The fair value of the receivable at acquisition date was estimated by the Company by calculating the present value of the future expected cash flows using an effective interest rate of 9.2%. Interest of $1.3 million was earned during the six months ended June 30, 2020 (see Note 25).

(iii) In September 2019, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ivanhoe DRC Holding Limited, extended a loan to Nzuri Exploration Holding Company Pty Ltd ("Nzuri"). Additional funding of $0.1 million was provided during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The loan was advanced to fund exploration activities of a subsidiary of Nzuri in the DRC. The Company has a 10% equity investment in Nzuri (see Note 11).

15. Borrowings (continued)

  • (i) On June 6, 2013, the Company, through its subsidiary Ivanplats (Pty) Ltd, ("Ivanplats") the owner of the Platreef Project, became party to a $28.0 million loan payable to ITC Platinum Development Limited. The loan is repayable only once Ivanplats has residual cashflow, which is defined in the loan agreement as gross revenue generated by Ivanplats, less all operating costs attributable thereto, including all mining development and operating costs. The loan incurs interest of USD 3 month LIBOR plus 2% calculated monthly in arrears. Interest is not compounded. Using prevailing market interest rates for an equivalent loan of USD 3 month LIBOR plus 7% at June 6, 2013, the carrying value of the loan as at June 30, 2020, is estimated at $30.8 million (December 31, 2019: $29.7 million) with a contractual amount due of $34.2 million (December 31, 2019:$33.8 million). The difference of $3.4 million (December 31, 2019: $4.1 million) between the contractual amount due and the carrying value of the loan is the benefit derived from the low-interest loan. Interest of $0.4 million was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and was capitalized as borrowing costs together with the low interest loan accretion of $0.7 million.
  • (ii) The Citi bank loan of $4.0 million (£3.2 million) is secured by the Rhenfield property (see Note 27). The loan is an interest only term loan repayable at August 31, 2020, and incurs interest at a rate of GBP 1 month LIBOR plus 1.90% payable monthly in arrears. The interest expense incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $0.1 million.

28. Loss (profit) per share

The basic loss (profit) per share is computed by dividing the loss (profit) attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted loss (profit) per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and restricted share units, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, if dilutive. Outstanding stock options and restricted share units were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement, requires an explanation about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities measured in the financial statements at fair value and established a hierarchy into which these assets and liabilities must be grouped based on whether inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions. The two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
  • Level 2: inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets, which are observable, either directly and/or indirectly; and
  • Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which little or no market data exists and therefore require an entity to develop its own assumptions.

31. Financial instruments (continued)

(a) Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Investment in listed entity

The fair value is the market value of the listed shares at the end of the period.

Investment in unlisted entity

The Company acquired these shares on September 12, 2019. No significant changes occurred between acquisition date and June 30, 2020 and the Company has therefore determined that the purchase price approximates the fair value.

Loan advanced to the joint venture

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The loan incurs interest at a variable rate of USD 12 month Libor plus 7% which approximates the current market interest rate.

Loans receivable (Loan to HPX)

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The loan period is less than two years, the interest rate is considered to be an arm's length rate. Country risk is considered to be low and the loan is secured by a pledge of shares of an HPX subsidiary.

Loans receivable (Social development loan)

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The fair value of the receivable at acquisition date was estimated by the Company by calculating the present value of the future expected cash flows using an effective interest rate of 9.2%.

Promissory note receivable

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The creditworthiness of the promissory note holder is considered to be high (see Note 31(b)(ii)). The promissory note is payable on the earlier of December 8, 2025 or the next business day following the completion of the sale, transfer or disposition of the shares held by Crystal River in Kamoa Holding.

Other receivables

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short term nature of the receivable (less than 1 month).

Borrowings (Loan from other entities)

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The fair value of the loan is determined using a discounted future cashflow analysis based on an interest rate of USD 3 month Libor plus 7% and the loan is carried at this value (see Note 15(i)).

Borrowings (Loan from Citi Bank)

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to its short term nature (repayable at August 31, 2020).

Trade and other payables

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short term nature of the receivable (less than 1 month).

Advances payable

Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. This loan bears interest at USD 12 month LIBOR plus 4% which approximates the current market interest rate.

31. Financial instruments (continued)

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The risks associated with the Company's financial instruments and the policies to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Company incurs certain of its expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company also has foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. As such, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risk as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange exposure as deemed appropriate.

The carrying amount of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the respective statement of financial position dates are as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar against the foreign currencies presented. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items not denominated in the functional currency of the Company or the relevant subsidiary and adjusts their translation at the end of the period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number indicates a decrease in loss for the year where the foreign currencies strengthen against the U.S. dollar. The opposite number will result if the foreign currencies depreciate against the U.S. dollar.

31. Financial instruments (continued)

  • (b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
    • (ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk for the Company is primarily associated with the loan to the joint venture, promissory note receivable, loans receivable, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

The Company reviews the recoverable amount of their financial assets at each statement of financial position date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. The Company has considered the requirement of IFRS 9 to recognize a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets. The general approach was applied to these financial assets, where the 12 month expected credit losses are calculated. The Company did not apply lifetime expected credit losses as there has not been a significant increase in credit risk in 2020.

A significant increase in credit risk would include:

  • Existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change in the borrower's ability to meet its debt obligations.
  • An actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the borrower.
  • Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower.
  • An actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the borrower that results in a significant change in the borrower's ability to meet its debt obligations.
  • Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements, which are expected to reduce the borrower's economic incentive to make scheduled contractual payments or to otherwise have an effect on the probability of a default occurring.

The Company assesses whether an impairment is required on loan receivables. A range of cash flow scenarios are considered, taking into account forward looking information which may impact recoverability of loan receivables.

The loan advanced to the joint venture will be repaid as and when there is residual cash flow in Kamoa Holding. Due to the positive results of Kamoa-Kakula's PFS and Preliminary Economic Assessment, repayment of the loan is deemed to be highly probable.

The promissory note receivable will be repaid using proceeds from the sale of Crystal River's 1% stake in Kamoa Holding.

The principal amount of the loan receivable from HPX and accrued interest thereon, is convertible in whole, or part, by the Company at its sole discretion into shares of treasury common stock of HPX and/or a subsidiary of HPX. The loan is secured by a pledge of shares of an HPX subsidiary in the United States which is pursuing a Tier One copper-gold exploration and development project, into which the Company also may convert and acquire at least a 25% interest.

Repayment of the social development loan will be made by offsetting the loan against future royalties and dividends payable to Gecamines which arise from future profits to be earned at Kipushi.

31. Financial instruments (continued)

  • (b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
    • (ii) Credit risk (continued)

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the cash and cash equivalents are composed of deposits with major banks who have investment grade credit ratings assigned by international credit ratings agencies and have low risk of default.

Other receivables is comprised primarily of administration consulting income from the joint venture and refundable taxes. The credit quality of these financial assets can be assessed by reference to historical information about counterparty default rates and adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information, as well as macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the parties to settle the receivables. The historical loss rates are negligible and therefore the expected credit losses relating to other receivables is also negligible.

The Company continues to monitor its credit risk and assess expected credit losses.

(iii) Liquidity risk

In the management of liquidity risk of the Company, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company's projects and operations.

The following table details the Company's expected remaining contractual maturities for its financial liabilities. The table is based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to satisfy the liabilities.

31. Financial instruments (continued)

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

(iv) Interest rate risk

The Company's interest rate risk arises mainly from long term borrowings, the loans receivable and the loan advanced to the joint venture. The Company's main exposure to interest rate risk arises from the fact that the Company earns and incurs interest on interest rates linked to LIBOR.

If interest rates (including applicable LIBOR rates) had been 50 basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant the Company's loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 would have decreased or increased by $4.8 million (June 30, 2019: $5.0 million) and is comprised as follows:

Six months ended,
June 30,
2020 2019
$'000 $'000
Cash and cash equivalents 2,481 1,904
Loan advanced to the joint venture (see Note 4) 1,996 2,898
Other interest bearing amounts 280 184
4,757 4,986

32. Capital risk management

The Company includes as capital its common shares and share option reserve. The Company's objectives are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the development of its mineral properties and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. Currently the Company has no cash inflows from operations. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt and acquire or dispose of assets to satisfy cash requirements. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including capital deployment, results from the exploration and development of its properties and general industry conditions. The annual and updated budgets are approved by the Board of Directors.

In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay dividends. The Company's investment policy is to invest its cash in highly liquid, short-term, interest-bearing investments with maturities of 90 days or less from the original date of acquisition, selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures from operations.

33. Commitments and contingencies

Due to the size, complexity and nature of the Company's operations, various legal and tax matters arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, these matters will not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the Company.

As at June 30, 2020, the Company's commitments that have not been disclosed elsewhere in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

Less than After
1 year 1 - 3 years 4 - 5 years 5 years Total
$'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000
As at June 30, 2020Shaft 1 construction (Platreef project) 6,875 - - - 6,875
As at December 31, 2019Shaft 1 construction (Platreef project) 12,964 - - - 12,964

The Company contracted Moolmans (formerly known as Aveng Mining) for the sinking of shaft 1 at the Platreef Project. Sinking of shaft 1 has been successfully completed to its final depth of 996 metres below surface. Further commitments in relation to the change-over of Shaft 1 as the project's initial production shaft under the phased development plan were undertaken during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The commitments in respect of the joint venture are set out in Note 4.

34. Segmented information

At June 30, 2020, the Company has four reportable segments, being the Platreef property, Kamoa Holding joint venture, Kipushi properties and the Company's treasury offices.

An operating segment is defined as a component of the Company:

  • that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
  • whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision maker; and
  • for which discrete financial information is available.

For these four reportable segments, the Company receives discrete financial information that is used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance.

The reportable segments are principally engaged in the development of mineral properties in South Africa (see Note 6); exploration and development of mineral properties through a joint venture in the DRC (see Note 4); and the care and maintenance of a mine in the DRC respectively (see Note 6).

The following is an analysis of the non-current assets by geographical area and reconciled to the Company financial statements:
