9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Group measures the following assets at fair value on a recurring basis: Available for sale financial assets Derivative financial assets
Fair value hierarchy
IFRS 13 requires disclosures of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy.
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobserved inputs).

Recognised fair value measurements
The following table presents the Group’s assets measured at fair value at 30 September 2014.

Disclosed fair values
Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 and level 3 fair values
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all the specific inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is classified as level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on market observable data, the instrument is classified as level 3. The Entity holds an investment and convertible note receivable from Elephant Copper Limited, an unlisted entity. The investment in Elephant Copper Limited was valued on RTGs 18% interest in Elephant Copper Limited’s net asset carrying value, which is considered to Elephant Copper Limited’s fair value of $10M, based on audited information and an independent valuation. The convertible note valuation was based on the investment interest RTG is entitled to receive in Elephant Copper Limited’s net asset carrying value, should RTG elect to receive the convertible note receivable in the form of shares. Hence these items have been classified as Level 3 as there is no active market to be able to observe the fair market value of the shares to determine the fair values used for the financial instruments.
The following table presents the changes in level 3 items for the period ended 30 September 2014.
| Opening balance at 1 January 2014 Convertible note Total financial assets Acquisitions At 30 September 2014 |

Fair value of other financial instruments not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. The loans to associates are currently not carried at fair value, however any potential differences between the carrying value and fair value would be considered immaterial.
10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
