Inmet Announces Second Quarter Net Income from Continuing Operations of $56 Million Compared to $51 Million in the Second Quarter of 2010
TORONTO, CANADA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/25/11 -- All amounts in Canadian dollars unless indicated otherwise
Inmet (TSX: IMN) announces second quarter net income from continuing operations of $56 million compared to $51 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Second quarter highlights
-- Earnings from operations up from last year but impacted by shipping
delays
Earnings from operations were $88 million compared to $67 million in the
second quarter of last year because of higher metal prices and the
inclusion of earnings from Las Cruces. Earnings were impacted by copper
sales volumes lagging production volumes by a combined 3,000 tonnes at
Cayeli and Pyhasalmi due to shipment timing. These shipping delays
reduced earnings from operations by approximately $17 million.
Inmet Board approval for development decision on Cobre Panama
On July 25, 2011, the Board of Directors of Inmet approved the development of Cobre Panama as described in the final FEED study of March, 2010 after completing a comprehensive review and risk assessment. This approval is conditional on the achievement of the following project milestones:
-- approval of the project Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
(ESIA) by Autoridad Nacional del Ambiente (ANAM), the Panamanian
environmental regulator
-- securing of all material permits and approvals required to be issued by
relevant Panamanian authorities for construction and development of the
mine and process plant
-- completion of basic engineering and related update of capital and
operating project cost estimates
-- Board satisfaction regarding the ability to finance development of the
project.
As a result of the development decision, KPMC, under an amended option agreement we have agreed to with it, must make its election on whether to exercise its option to acquire a 20 percent interest in Minera Panama by the later of 60 days after the date of this release or the date that is seven days after we have publicly announced ANAM's approval of the ESIA.
-- Cobre Panama partnership process
This quarter, we commenced a process to engage potential new partners in
Cobre Panama. At this point, multiple interested parties have executed
confidentiality agreements with us and are engaged at various stages of
due diligence on the project.
-- Las Cruces completes shutdown and achieves weekly copper production
record
Las Cruces produced 8,500 tonnes of copper cathode this quarter,
following production of 8,100 tonnes in the first quarter. The scheduled
maintenance shutdown ran 16 days, and the plant started up on schedule,
achieving record throughput above 80 percent soon after start-up and
record weekly production of 1,340 tonnes of cathode copper. Within two
weeks after start-up, a support structure of the new grinding thickener
failed due to a faulty weld causing a subsequent shut-down for repair.
Production was halted for seven days to empty, repair and re-fill the
thickener before it resumed. We are extremely disappointed about the
poor performance of our technology provider and are in discussions with
it about rectifying the situation. We look forward to the coming months
and expect to reach production design capacity this year, as all
critical components of the operation have performed on a sustained basis
at close to their design capacity or better.
-- Temasek converts subscription receipts
On May 17, 2011, a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Ltd.
exchanged its subscription receipts for 7.78 million Inmet common shares
and we received cash of approximately $500 million, with a resulting 13
percent increase in our outstanding common shares. Although the dilution
resulting from this transaction has reduced, and will reduce, earnings
per share in the short-term, it is strategically significant because it
provides access to additional financing resources for the construction
of Cobre Panama.
Adjustments to production guidance for 2011
-- Las Cruces 2011 production objective reduced to between 42,000 and
45,000 tonnes of cathode copper
We are reducing our cathode copper production objective from 50,200
tonnes to between 42,000 and 45,000 tonnes for the year to reflect the
actual performance for the first half of the year and the impact of the
failure of the new grinding thickener in July.
-- Cayeli 2011 zinc production guidance reduced to 45,700 tonnes
Additionally, we have revised our zinc grade objective to be 5.6
percent, compared to our previous target 5.9 percent because of mine
sequence changes and updates to expected stope grades. We have therefore
reduced our zinc objective from 48,600 tonnes to 45,700 tonnes to
reflect this in addition to lower recoveries.

(1) Cash flow provided by operating activities divided by average shares
outstanding for the period.
(2) The six months ended June 30, 2011 includes capital spending of $48
million at Cobre Panama and $34 million at Las Cruces. The six months
ended June 30, 2010 includes capital spending of $41 million at Cobre
Panama and $29 million at Las Cruces reduced by positive cash flow from
pre-operating costs net of revenues and working capital changes at Las
Cruces of $53 million.
(3) Inmet's share. 2010 production does not include our share of Ok Tedi.
(4) Copper cash cost per pound is a non-GAAP financial measure - see
Supplementary financial information on pages 30 to 32. Copper cash
costs this quarter and year to June were higher because Las Cruces is
ramping up to full production. We did not include Las Cruces' results
in cash costs in the first half of 2010 because it had not yet reached
commercial production.

Zinc
Zinc prices on the LME averaged US $1.02 per pound this quarter, slightly lower than last quarter's average price of US $1.09 per pound and a 9 percent increase over the second quarter of 2010.
Pyrite
Prices for sulphur stabilized during the second quarter and we expect to realize similar prices for the remainder of the year.
Exchange rates
Exchange rates affect our revenue and earnings. The table below shows the average exchange rates we realized this quarter and year to date compared to 2010.

1 euro to US$ $1.44 $1.28 13% $1.40 $1.33 5%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our sales are affected by the conversion of US dollar revenue to Canadian dollars. Compared to the same quarter last year, the value of the Canadian dollar appreciated 6 percent relative to the US dollar and depreciated 6 percent relative to the euro.
Our earnings are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates when we:
-- translate the results of our operations from their functional currency
(US dollars or euros) to Canadian dollars
-- revalue US dollars and euros that we hold in cash and long-term bonds at
Corporate.
Treatment charges down for zinc
Treatment charges are one component of smelter processing charges. We also pay smelters for content losses and price participation.
The table below shows the average charges we realized this quarter and year to date. We finalized our terms with zinc smelters this quarter, agreeing on treatment charges for zinc concentrates that are lower than last year, reflecting a tightening zinc concentrate market. Results this quarter include adjustments we've made to first quarter charges, which were at 2010 rates.

We record sales that settle during the reporting period using the metal price on the day they settle. For sales that have not settled, we use an estimate based on the month we expect the sale to settle and the forward price of the metal at the end of the reporting period. We recognize the difference between our estimate and the final price by adjusting our gross sales in the period when we settle the sale (finalization adjustment).
This quarter, we recorded $3 million in negative finalization adjustments from first quarter sales.
At the end of this quarter, the following sales had not been settled:
-- 20 million pounds of copper provisionally priced at US $4.28 per pound
-- 12 million pounds of zinc provisionally priced at US $1.07 per pound.
The finalization adjustment we record for these sales will depend on the actual price we receive when they settle, which can be up to five months from the time we initially record the sales. We expect these sales to settle in the following months:

Significantly higher pyrite sales volumes, no gold sales volumes
Our sales volumes are directly affected by the amount of production from our mines and our ability to ship to our customers.
-- Copper production volumes were up this quarter and year to date mainly
because of production at Las Cruces. Copper sales volumes were lower
than production volumes this quarter mainly because of the timing of
shipments to our customers at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi.
-- Zinc sales volumes were slightly higher than 2010 due to the timing of
shipments.
-- There was no gold production or sales volumes because Troilus stopped
operating in June 2010 and we sold our interest in Ok Tedi in January
2011.
-- Pyhasalmi's pyrite sales volumes were higher than in 2010 because of
higher customer demand in Europe and China.

production at Las Cruces should be more than 50 percent higher than it
was in 2010 as the operation ramps up to its nameplate capacity of
72,000 tonnes of copper cathode, and because we increased our ownership
from 70 percent to 100 percent in December 2010. We have revised our
cathode copper production objective from 50,200 tonnes to between 42,000
and 45,000 tonnes for the year to reflect the actual performance for the
first half of the year and the impact of the failure of the new grinding
thickener in July.
-- We expect 2011 zinc sales and production volumes to be slightly lower
than 2010 volumes because of lower grades and recoveries at Cayeli. We
have revised our zinc grade objective to be 5.6 percent, compared to our
previous target 5.9 percent because of mine sequence changes and updates
to expected stope grades. We have therefore reduced our zinc objective
from 48,600 tonnes to 45,700 tonnes to reflect this in addition to lower
recoveries.
-- We do not expect any gold sales in 2011.
-- Pyhasalmi expects to produce and sell 800,000 tonnes of pyrite in 2011.
It signed a five year sales contract in March 2011 with a customer in
the Far East for up to 400,000 tonnes of pyrite per year, and now has
long term agreements covering sales of up to 760,000 tonnes annually.
Our Canadian dollar sales revenues are affected by the US dollar denominated metal price we receive, and the exchange rate between the US dollar and Canadian dollar.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our copper treatment and refining charges were lower than they were in 2010 because Troilus stopped operating in June 2010. Zinc treatment charges were lower than last year because our terms with smelters were lower.
2011 outlook for smelter processing charges and freight
We expect costs for copper treatment and refining to be higher in 2011 based on agreements we signed recently with customers. We sell approximately 90 percent of our copper concentrate under long-term contracts.
Spot smelter processing charges continue to be significantly higher than they were in 2010, because the earthquake in Japan in March caused stoppages in copper smelter production, lowering short-term demand for copper concentrates. This should settle in the third quarter and we expect spot processing charges to normalize.
We expect copper price participation to be minimal.
We expect total zinc smelter processing charges, including price participation, to be lower than in 2010 because of a tightening zinc concentrate market and our long-term contracts reflect this.
We expect our ocean freight costs to be similar to 2010.
Las Cruces sells its copper cathode production directly to buyers in the Spanish and Mediterranean markets and therefore does not incur smelter processing charges and has relatively low freight costs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct production costs
Direct production costs are higher this year, mainly because we began recognizing operating results at Las Cruces in our consolidated income statement effective July 1, 2010, partly offset by the closure of Troilus mid-year in 2010. At Cayeli, consumables, ground control and royalty costs were higher as anticipated in our guidance. Pyhasalmi realized higher consumable, electricity and ground support costs this quarter than the second quarter of 2010.
Inventory changes
Copper inventories at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi increased this quarter end by a combined 3,000 tonnes because of the timing of shipments.
2011 outlook for cost of sales (excluding depreciation)
We expect consolidated direct production costs to be higher in 2011 because we will recognize a full year of production costs in the income statement for Las Cruces. This will be somewhat offset by the closure of Troilus.
Our budget for 2011 assumes our costs at Pyhasalmi will be similar to 2010 and higher at Cayeli. Costs at Las Cruces will rise to reflect increased production, but should decrease significantly per pound of copper produced as this operation continues to ramp up to full production.
Certain variable costs may continue to affect our earnings, depending on metal prices:
-- royalties at Cayeli are affected by its net income
-- royalties at Las Cruces are affected by its net sales.

$26,649 $10,328 158% $53,689 $18,044 198%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depreciation was higher this quarter and year to date mainly because Las Cruces began to depreciate its operating assets in the income statement on July 1, 2010. There was no depreciation at Troilus in 2011 because it stopped operating in June 2010.
2011 outlook for depreciation
We expect depreciation to be higher in 2011 mainly because we will recognize Las Cruces' operating results in earnings for the entire year. This will be offset somewhat by the closure of Troilus.
Corporate costs
Corporate costs include corporate development and exploration, general and administration costs, taxes, interest and other income.
Corporate development and exploration
Costs year to date are approximately $13 million higher than 2010. In the first quarter, we incurred approximately $6 million of expenses from work related to the arrangement agreement to merge with Lundin Mining Corporation. We and Lundin Mining Corporation agreed to mutually terminate our arrangement agreement on March 29, 2011. All of the costs incurred in connection with the proposed merger were expensed and classified as corporate development and exploration in the consolidated statement of earnings. In addition, we incurred $2 million in expenditures in the first quarter to drill the Balboa deposit at Cobre Panama. Work on Balboa continued in the second quarter and we began capitalizing drilling and evaluation costs for this deposit based on the positive results to date. See Status of development project - Cobre Panama on page 22 for more information. Increased costs compared to 2010 also reflect our higher budget for 2011 to explore for world class deposits.

We continue to hold the proceeds we received from the sale of our equity interest in Ok Tedi in US dollars, and plan to use this money to fund our US dollar denominated capital program at Cobre Panama. In the first quarter, we recognized total foreign exchange losses of $9.5 million on these funds because the US dollar depreciated in value relative to the Canadian dollar.
2011 outlook for investment and other income
Investment and other income is affected by cash and held to maturity investments, and by interest rates and exchange rates.
Stand-by costs
In the first quarter of 2010, we could not mine ore at Las Cruces because of the water levels in the pit. We expensed $6.8 million in operating and maintenance costs for the water purification plant because they did not relate to production activities. We recognized these expenses as stand-by costs because we were not yet at commercial production.

Our tax expense changes as our earnings change.
The consolidated effective tax rate increased this quarter and year to date compared to last year, mainly because in 2010 Las Cruces recognized a tax recovery on a foreign exchange loss from its intercompany US dollar denominated debt. The foreign exchange eliminates on consolidation, but the tax recovery does not, since there is no corresponding tax expense on the foreign exchange gain.
2011 outlook for income tax expense
We expect statutory tax rates at our operations to remain the same as they were in 2010 unless a statutory tax rate change is enacted.
Discontinued operation
We sold our 18 percent equity interest in Ok Tedi in January 2011, and have reported our results relating to Ok Tedi as discontinued operations retroactively. After-tax income of $83 million in 2011 includes net earnings of $17 million in January, before the sale, and a gain on sale of $66 million net of withholding taxes. We paid Papua New Guinea withholding taxes of $28 million on the sale. We did not pay any Canadian taxes, and we expect to reduce our tax-effected Canadian tax loss pools by about $2 million.

Copper production improved from last quarter
Copper grades increased this quarter as we began to produce higher copper grade ore that had been deferred earlier in the year. We will continue to process this high copper grade ore in the third quarter. Low stockpiles early in the quarter limited blending opportunities, which led to lower overall copper recoveries than planned. Stockpiles have since grown giving us the ability to optimize blending going forward. Mill throughput was lower this quarter compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to a routine shutdown. Although copper production was lower than expected, we anticipate making up this production in the second half of the year.
Zinc grades this quarter were significantly lower than the second quarter of 2010 because of variation in ore types. Ore containing bornite minerals continued to pose challenges to the process plant, lowering metallurgical recoveries this year especially for zinc. Zinc production was therefore lower than last year.
The additional resources for ground control are improving production reliability. The mine achieved a 30 day monthly production record in June, producing 103,000 tonnes of ore and also achieving weekly records for rockbolts installed, shotcrete applied and sheets of wire mesh installed.
Cost per tonne of ore milled this quarter and year to date were higher than 2010 mainly because of higher royalty costs (pushed up by higher realized metals prices), additional ground support costs and increased costs for labour and consumables. This change was, however, consistent with our expectations and the objective for the year.
2011 outlook
Production levels in 2011 should remain at approximately 1.2 million tonnes. We expect copper grades to be 3.2 percent consistent with our original plan. We have reduced our zinc grade objective to 5.6 percent, compared to our previous target of 5.9 percent because of mine sequence changes and updates to forecast stope grades. We expect there will continue to be bornite containing ore in the mill feed, and we have reduced our objective for zinc recoveries from 73 percent to 68 percent. The result is that we adjusted our zinc production objective from 48,600 tonnes to 45,700 tonnes.

Progress update
In June 2011, we completed a planned maintenance shutdown at Las Cruces for 16 days to install new components and modify equipment, working to increase the underflow (or solids) density of the grinding thickener to its design capacity of 80 percent. After the shutdown, we operated consistently at solid densities at 80 percent or higher, compared to 75 percent before the shutdown. The plant started up on schedule, achieving record throughput above 80 percent soon after start-up and record weekly production of 1,340 tonnes of cathode copper.
Within two weeks after start-up, a support structure of the new grinding thickener failed due to a faulty weld, causing a subsequent shut-down for repair. Production was halted for seven days to empty, repair and re-fill the thickener before it resumed. We are extremely disappointed by the poor performance of our technology provider and are in discussions with it about rectifying the situation.
Copper cathode production in the second quarter was slightly better than the first quarter (8,500 tonnes compared to 8,100 tonnes). This reflects the downtime for the June shutdown and the continuing improvements to the reactors, including installing and commissioning new oxygen distributors.
Recoveries increased in the second quarter to 83 percent, approaching our objective of 85 percent as the efficiency of oxygen dispersion continues to improve. Higher iron levels in the reactors have also increased copper recoveries and ferric iron levels, allowing us to leach copper more effectively.
Despite these measurable improvements, we still need to closely monitor the leach reaction process. The leach solution in the reactors is extremely corrosive and abrasive, damaging even high nickel alloy stainless steel. We are monitoring and attempting to mitigate the wear on components inside the leach reactors, such as the cooling baffles, oxygen distributors and agitators.
Ore mining continues to progress well, and we have built up stockpiles and expect to mine up to one million tonnes this year.
Our water management continues to be successful, and we are progressively increasing our capacity for drainage and reinjection, as we commission new wells while aiming to reduce contact water inflows. Favourable summer climatic conditions have allowed us to reduce our discharge to the river.
Operating costs this quarter include $5 million for shutdown costs.
2011 outlook
We look forward to the coming months and we expect to reach production design capacity this year, as all critical components of the operation have performed on a sustained basis at close to their design capacity or better. Our task now is to achieve reliable, sustained operations for the balance of the year, and to optimize the required maintenance and component replacements.
We are reducing our cathode copper production objective from 50,200 tonnes to between 42,000 and 45,000 tonnes for the year to reflect actual performance during the ramp-up year to date and the impact of the failure of the new grinding thickener in July.

Higher zinc grades increase zinc production
Pyhasalmi processed at an annualized rate that was in line with its annual objective.
The operation maintained its strong production record and achieved copper recoveries of 96 percent and zinc recoveries of 91 percent. Zinc grades were significantly higher this quarter and year to date compared to last year, and are consistent with our plan, pushing zinc production significantly higher. Copper production this quarter was slightly below the same quarter in 2010 and higher year to date because of variations in copper grades. Pyrite production was higher this quarter to meet higher customer demand.
2011 outlook
Pyhasalmi remains on target to mine 1.4 million tonnes of 1 percent copper and 2.6 percent zinc in 2011, and to produce 13,300 tonnes of copper and 31,900 tonnes of zinc.
It expects to produce and sell 800,000 tonnes pyrite in 2011. In March 2011, Pyhasalmi signed a five year sales contract with a customer in the Far East for up to 400,000 tonnes of pyrite per year, and now has long term agreements covering sales of up to 760,000 tonnes per year.

Status of our development project
Cobre Panama
Engineering, infrastructure and power
Basic engineering progressed as scheduled this quarter and we have compiled equipment lists, and finalized the process flow diagrams in all plant, port and power areas. We received permits and started several early work projects during the quarter. Preparatory road construction commenced in July in anticipation of major civil work scheduled to begin in early 2012. All early work projects have been approved under separate ESIAs by the regulatory authorities.
As part of our project related efforts, we had been working with GDF Suez Energy Central America S.A. (GDF Suez) to jointly develop an 'over the fence' 300 megawatt coal-fired power plant to be owned and operated by GDF Suez. We believe the project would benefit more by directly incorporating the power plant into the project and as a result we reached an agreement with GDF Suez to terminate our joint development agreement. GDF Suez closely collaborated with us to transition Minera Panama as the developer and owner of the power plant. This change will be reflected in the ongoing basic engineering for the project's capital and operating (including power) cost estimates that we expect to have by the end of this year. As part of the transition, Minera Panama has engaged SK Engineering and Construction, Co. Ltd. of Korea under a limited notice to proceed with basic engineering for the power plant.
ESIA approval and corporate responsibility progress
This quarter, we initiated work on our responses to the second set of questions from ANAM, pertaining to the ESIA, which we believe will receive approval in September. The second set of questions is focused mainly on our biodiversity strategy as well as follow up questions on social and economic impacts. We expect to complete our responses and submit them to ANAM within the next month.
Board Approval for Development Decision on Cobre Panama
On July 25, 2011, the Board of Directors of Inmet approved development of Cobre Panama as described in the final FEED study of March, 2010 after completion of a comprehensive review and risk assessment. This approval is conditional on the achievement of the following project milestones:
-- approval of the project ESIA by ANAM
-- securing of all material permits and approvals required to be issued by
relevant Panamanian authorities for construction and development of the
mine and process plant
-- completion of basic engineering and related update of capital and
operating project cost estimates
-- Board satisfaction regarding the ability to finance development of the
project.
As a result of the development decision, KPMC, under an amended option agreement we have agreed to with it, must make its election on whether to exercise its option to acquire a 20 percent interest in Minera Panama by the later of 60 days after the development decision or the date that is seven days after we have publicly announced ANAM's approval of the ESIA. In the event that KPMC exercises its option, it will be required to invest approximately US$135 million in Minera Panama within 30 days of the expiry of the initial 60 day period. Any such funds invested by KPMC will be used to fund project related expenditures.
Partnership process recommencement
This quarter, we recommenced a process to engage potential new partners in Cobre Panama. At this point, multiple interested parties have executed confidentiality agreements with us and are engaged at various stages of due diligence on the project.
Drilling
We continued with resource drilling this quarter on the recently discovered Balboa deposit. On May 31, 2011, we provided a progress update from 12 further holes drilled on Balboa which is available at www.inmetmining.com. This drilling has defined a quartz-bornite-chalcopyrite mineralized porphyry returning higher copper and gold grades than those encountered at any time previously on the Cobre Panama property in over 40 years of exploration drilling. The Balboa mineralization starts near surface and this implies that it could be mined with a relatively low strip ratio but at generally higher copper and gold grades than the current mineral resources. Drills continue to delineate the extents of zone on 200 metre centres and we have also begun infill drilling on 100 metre centres with a view to establishing National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral reserves and resources by year-end.
2011 outlook for development
In the latter half of 2011, we plan to:
-- continue our dialogue with stakeholders at the community, regional and
national levels, to increase their understanding of the project and its
benefits to Panama, and our understanding of stakeholder concerns
-- continue to work with ANAM on responding to the second round of
questions on the ESIA
-- work with all the government agencies to obtain permits that will be
required after the ESIA is approved
-- continue with a 720 hectare reforestation plan outside of the concession
area
-- work with environmental non-governmental organizations and the
environmental authorities in plans to protect two national parks in the
region of the project
-- continue to improve site access and infrastructure
-- complete additional drilling for geotechnical and hydrological purposes
and to improve our understanding of mineralization not currently
included in the project base case
-- complete basic engineering and prepare to begin site capture when we
receive the main permits
-- Work with SK Engineering and Construction, Co. Ltd. on the development
of the 300 megawatt thermal power plant to supply power for the project
-- develop a range of financing options including a project level limited
recourse facility, capital market alternatives and potential new
partners
-- spend the balance of our budgeted $224 million to carry out the work
described.
After basic engineering is completed and we have received the appropriate approvals, site capture, preparation and construction should take approximately 48 months.
Managing our liquidity
We develop our financing strategy by considering our long-term capital requirements and deciding on the optimal mix of cash, future operating cash flow, credit facilities and project financing.
Our capital structure includes a liquidity cushion that gives us the flexibility to deal with operational disruptions or general market downturns.

Operating cash flows this year were higher than 2010 because our operating earnings before depreciation were higher. The large inflow of cash related to working capital this quarter and year to date mainly reflects lower accounts receivable at Cayeli and Pyhasalmi due to the timing of collections from customers.
2011 outlook for cash from operating activities

Please see Results of our operations and Status of our development project for a discussion of actual results and our 2011 objective. Capital spending this year was mainly for Cobre Panama and for plant improvements at Las Cruces.
Purchase of long-term investments
We used the US dollar proceeds from the sale of Ok Tedi to buy US $273.9 million in US Treasury bonds with AAA credit ratings. The bonds mature between March 2012 and January 2016 and have a weighted average annual yield to maturity of 1.2 percent. In 2010, we bought $219 million in medium-term Canadian government and corporate bonds with credit ratings of A to AAA.
Issuance of common shares
On May 17, 2011, a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings (Private) Ltd. exchanged its subscriptions receipts for 7.78 million Inmet common shares and we received cash of $500 million, plus accrued interest on funds in escrow during the subscription period.
Cash from discontinued operation
In January 2011, we sold our 18 percent equity interest in Ok Tedi for net proceeds of $307 million after Papua New Guinea withholding taxes.
2011 outlook for investing and financing
Capital spending
We expect capital spending to be $319 million in 2011. The more significant items include:
-- $224 million for work on the development at Cobre Panama, including
basic engineering, advance payments for mill equipment and other costs
to advance development
-- $68 million at Las Cruces, including $16 million for mine development
and $37 million for plant improvements.
Financial condition
Our strategy is to ensure we have sufficient liquidity (including cash and committed credit facilities) to finance our operating requirements as well as our growth projects. At June 30, 2011, we had $1,625 million in total funds, including $1,001 million in cash and short-term investments and $624 million invested in long-term bonds.
Cash
At June 30, 2011 our cash and short-term investments of $1,001 million included cash and money market instruments that mature in 90 days or less.
Our policy is to invest excess cash in highly liquid investments of the highest credit quality, and to limit our exposure to individual counterparties to minimize the risk associated with these investments. We base our decisions about the length of maturities on our cash flow requirements, rates of return and other factors.
At June 30, 2011, we held cash and short-term investments in the following:
-- A to AAA rated treasury funds and money market funds managed by leading
international fund managers, who are investing in money market and
short-term debt securities and fixed income securities issued by leading
international financial institutions and their sponsored securitization
vehicles.
-- Cash, term and overnight deposits with leading Canadian and
international financial institutions that are benefiting directly and
indirectly from support programs by various governments and central
banks.
See note 7 on page 70 in the consolidated financial statements for more details about where our cash is invested.
Medium-term bonds
We have created a bond portfolio to provide better yields with no change to our investment risk. As at June 30, 2011, the portfolio was $624 million (Held to maturity investments):
-- 55 percent US Treasury bonds
-- 5 percent Government of Canada bonds
-- 35 percent Provincial Government bonds
-- 5 percent corporate bonds.
The bonds mature between August 2011 and May 2016. Although our intention is to hold these investments to maturity, there is a liquid market for them and they are available to us at any time.
Restricted cash
Our restricted cash balance of $76 million as at June 30, 2011 included:
-- $17 million in cash collateralized letters of credit for Inmet
-- $57 million at Las Cruces related to a reclamation bond, issuing letters
of credit to suppliers and the local water authority and for its labour
bond to the government
-- $2 million for future reclamation at Pyhasalmi.

Accounting changes
Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
The Accounting Standards Board incorporated International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) into the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Accounting Handbook effective for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The first quarter of 2011 was the first presentation of our results under IFRS, with an effective transition date of January 1, 2010.
While the adoption of IFRS did not change our business activities, it has significantly changed our reported financial position. Our key controls over financial reporting did not change as a result of our transition to IFRS. For all changes to policies and procedures that have been identified, the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures has been assessed and any changes have been implemented. In addition, controls over the IFRS changeover process have been implemented as necessary.
See note 3 to our interim consolidated financial statements for a complete list of our significant accounting policies followed on adoption of IFRS. See note 6 to the financial statements for a detailed description of our conversion to IFRS, including a line-by-line reconciliation of our financial statements previously prepared under Canadian GAAP to those under IFRS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The table below reconciles total equity under Canadian GAAP to total equity under IFRS, and illustrates the after-tax effect of each of the most significant adjustments had on equity.

IFRS equity $2,361,412 $2,374,708 $2,554,539
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
i) Revenue
Under Canadian GAAP, we recognized revenue when title was legally transferred to the purchaser. For certain shipments at Cayeli, Pyhasalmi and Ok Tedi, we transfer title when we receive the first provisional payment, which is later than the transfer point for risks and rewards of ownership.
Under IFRS, we recognize revenue when all significant risks and rewards of ownership of our products are transferred to the purchaser.
ii) Impairment of assets
Under Canadian GAAP, we used a two-step approach to impairment testing:
-- first comparing asset carrying values with undiscounted future cash
flows to determine whether impairment exists
-- then measuring any impairment by comparing asset carrying values with
fair values (generally assessed using a discounted cash flow valuation
process).
Under IFRS we use a one step approach to test for and measure impairment, and compare asset carrying values directly with the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use (which uses discounted future cash flows). IFRS also requires a full or partial reversal of previous impairment losses when circumstances have changed and the impairments have been reduced. Impairment losses were not reversed under Canadian GAAP.
We increased January 1, 2010 property plant and equipment at Cayeli by approximately $50 million to reverse an impairment charge we recognized for this operation in 1996. The increase is the IFRS carrying amount we would have calculated, net of depreciation, if we had not recognized the original impairment. This will also result in a higher ongoing depreciation expense for Cayeli, including an increase of $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
iii) Asset retirement obligations
Under Canadian GAAP, we used a credit adjusted risk free interest rate and were not required to update the rate when market rates changed.
Under IFRS, we measure asset retirement obligations using a risk free interest rate and revalue when market risk free interest rates change.
iv) Business combinations
Under Canadian GAAP, companies that acquired an additional interest in an entity they already controlled accounted for it as a step acquisition. Under IFRS, acquiring a non-controlling interest is not considered a business combination, and is instead accounted for as an equity transaction.
Under IFRS, we have accounted for our acquisition of the remaining 30 percent interest in Las Cruces in December 2010 as an equity transaction, because we already controlled it. We recognized the difference between the non-controlling interest (as determined under IFRS) and the fair value of the consideration paid, in retained earnings.
v) First time adoption of IFRS: property, plant and equipment associated with asset retirement obligations First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 1) provides specific exemptions that we used when we adopted IFRS.
IFRS and Canadian GAAP both require us to recognize a corresponding change in asset retirement obligations in the carrying value of the related property, plant and equipment (where we identify an asset) and depreciate this amount prospectively. The amount under IFRS was different from the amount determined under Canadian GAAP because of the different way IFRS determines asset retirement obligations.
We used an optional transitional calculation to determine the property, plant and equipment associated with our provision for asset retirement obligations. Under the transitional calculation, we measured the provision at the transition date and discounted it to the date the liability first arose. The result became the initial asset value. Depreciation was applied to this value. We applied this exemption to certain mines instead of determining property, plant and equipment associated with asset retirement obligations retrospectively.
Supplementary financial information
Pages 31 and 32 include supplementary financial information about cash costs. These measures do not fall into the category of International Financial Reporting Standards.
We use unit cash cost information as a key performance indicator, both on a segmented and consolidated basis. We have included cash costs as supplementary information because we believe our key stakeholders use these measures as a financial indicator of our profitability and cash flows before the effects of capital investment and financing costs, such as interest.
Since cash costs are not recognized financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards, they should not be considered in isolation of earnings or cash flows. There is also no standard way to calculate cash costs, so they are not a reliable way to compare us to other companies.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Corporate information
Inmet Mining Corporation is a publicly traded corporation listed on the Toronto stock exchange. Our registered and head office is in Toronto, Canada. Our principal activities are the exploration, development and mining of base metals.
2. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) require us to make an explicit and unreserved statement that our financial statements are in compliance with IFRS. We will make this statement when we issue our 2011 annual financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and using the accounting policies we expect to adopt in our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011.
This is the first year we have prepared our financial statements in accordance with IFRS. See note 6, First time adoption of IFRS, for information about our transition from Canadian GAAP. You should read our interim statements in conjunction with our annual statements which you can find in our 2010 Annual Report.
We have prepared the consolidated financial statements under the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of certain financial instruments we have measured in accordance with IFRS. The financial statements are in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated. These statements have been approved by Inmet's board of directors and have been reviewed by our external auditors.
Our segmented statements reflect the management structure of our company, where each operation retains its own management team and compiles its own financial information, following the accounting policies outlined here.
-- Cayeli - a mine in Turkey that produces copper and zinc concentrates.
Cayeli is a wholly-owned subsidiary.
-- Las Cruces - a high grade copper mine and plant operation in Spain that
produces cathode copper. Las Cruces is a wholly-owned subsidiary.
-- Pyhasalmi - a mine in Finland that produces copper and zinc
concentrates. Pyhasalmi is a wholly-owned subsidiary.
-- Cobre Panama - a copper, gold and molybdenum deposit currently under
development in Panama. We have a 100 percent interest in Cobre Panama.
Korea Panama Mining Corp owns an option to acquire a 20 percent interest
in Cobre Panama.
-- Corporate and other - our head office and closed properties. As a result
of the closure of Troilus, we no longer consider it to be a separate
reportable operating segment and included its results in Corporate and
other retroactively.
3. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of consolidation
Entities we control
We have control of an entity when we have the right to govern its operating and financial policies (usually when we have more than 50 percent voting power through ownership or agreements), unless a non-controlling interest is able to prevent us from exercising control.
We consolidate the results of entities we control and eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions. When we acquire a new entity, we consolidate from the day that control passes to us. We consolidate those we sell until the day control passes to the acquirer.
Interests in jointly controlled entities
We jointly control an entity when we hold a long-term interest in it, and share joint control over its operating and financial decisions with one or more other parties under a contractual arrangement.
We proportionately consolidate our share of any entity we jointly control, combining its line-by-line results with similar line items in our financial statements.
Foreign exchange
Functional and presentation currency
Inmet Mining's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. We report our consolidated financial statements in Canadian dollars.
Our entities measure the items in their financial statements in their functional currency (the currency of the primary economic environment they operate in). Cayeli and Cobre Panama use the US dollar and Pyhasalmi and Las Cruces use the euro.
Foreign currency transactions
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into each entity's functional currency at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date, and gains and losses on translation are recognized in the statement of earnings for the period. We recognize all other transactions in foreign currencies at the exchange rate at the time of the transaction.
Financial statements of foreign operations
For operations that have a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar, we translate the statement of earnings and balance sheet as follows:
-- assets and liabilities: translated at the closing rate at the end of the
financial period.
-- revenues and expenses: translated for each statement of earnings at
rates approximating the exchange rates at the time of the transactions.
-- resulting differences: recognized as a separate component of accumulated
other comprehensive income.
We also recognize exchange differences relating to long-term intercompany loan balances with foreign operations that form part of the net investment in the foreign operation in this separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
When we sell all or part of a foreign operation, or repay its share capital or intercompany debt considered part of the net investment, we recognize exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in the statement of earnings.
Business combinations
When we acquire a subsidiary, we account for it using the purchase method.
The cost of the business combination is the fair value at the date of exchange of:
-- the assets we gave
-- the liabilities we incurred or assumed, and
-- the equity instruments we issued in exchange for control.
We allocate total consideration paid to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities (identifiable net assets) we acquired, at their fair value on the date of the acquisition, including mineral reserves and resources that can be reliably valued.
We expense transaction costs related to an acquisition as incurred.
If the fair value of our share of the identifiable net assets acquired is greater than the fair value of the consideration paid, we recognize the difference in the statement of earnings on the acquisition date.
Non controlling interest is the portion of an entity that we do not own (the profit or loss and net assets we are not entitled to). We record non controlling interests in equity, separate from our shareholders' equity.
Revenue
Gross sales include the sale of all concentrate, cathode copper and gold dore. It does not include smelter processing charges and freight, which are presented as a separate line item in the statement of earnings.
We recognize revenue when all significant risks and rewards of ownership of our products have been transferred to the customer - usually when the customer takes on the insurance risk and the goods have been delivered to the shipping agent.
Most of our sales contracts set the sales price at the commodity's market price on a specified future date. To calculate our revenue from the sale of our products, we use the forward price of the commodity for the day we expect the contract to settle. Variations between the price we record on the date of initial revenue recognition and the final price we receive due to changes in market prices represents an embedded derivative in our sales contracts. We adjust our revenue every period for any change in the value of the contract using the period end forward price for the day the contract is expected to settle. When it settles, we record the difference between the forward price and the final price we receive in revenue.
We recognize interest income in investment and other income, based on the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate.
We recognize dividends and royalties in investment and other income when we have established the right to receive payment.
Inventories
Inventories include:
-- stockpiled ore, materials and supplies: ore, goods and supplies that
will be consumed directly or indirectly in the production process
-- work in process: inventory in an intermediate state that has not yet
passed through all stages of the production process
-- finished goods: concentrate, cathode copper and gold dore that are ready
for sale.
We measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as follows:
-- cost: a weighted average that includes all costs directly related to
bringing the inventory to its current location and condition, such as
mining and milling costs and an allocation of production overheads and
depreciation based on normal capacity
-- net realizable value: the estimated selling price less any additional
costs we expect to incur for completion and sale of the related
inventory.
We classify inventories of stockpiled ore that we do not expect to process in the next year as other assets.
Property, plant and equipment
On initial acquisition, we recognize property, plant and equipment at cost. Cost includes the purchase price, costs that can be directly attributed to acquiring it, and the cost required to bring the asset to the location and the condition necessary to operate in the way we intended it to.
In subsequent periods, we recognize it at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
We depreciate the cost, less estimated residual values of property, plant and equipment, as follows:
-- property: depreciated in proportion to the depletion of proven and
probable reserves on a unit of production basis.
-- plant and equipment: depreciated using a straight-line method based on
estimated useful life. The expected useful lives of plant and equipment
range from 5 to 15 years, but do not exceed the life of mine.
When different parts (or components) of an asset are significant and have different useful lives, we depreciate the individual components separately, considering both a component's physical life, and the present estimated mineral reserves at the mine where the component is located.
We review estimates in remaining useful lives and residual values at least annually and account for any changes prospectively.
When we carry out a major maintenance refit, we may replace or overhaul assets or parts of assets. When we replace an asset or a component that we have been depreciating separately, we capitalize these costs if this extends its useful life and it is probable that this will result in future economic benefits to the operation. In addition, we write off the asset or component that has been replaced. If we replace part of an asset that was not considered a component, we use the replacement value to estimate the carrying amount of the replaced asset and immediately write that off. We expense all other regular maintenance costs as incurred.
Exploration and evaluation expenditures
We expense the costs of exploration and evaluation as incurred, except for the following:
-- in areas currently under development
-- where we can reasonably expect to convert existing mineral resources
into mineral reserves or add additional mineral resources with further
drilling and evaluations
-- the cost to acquire an early stage entity conducting primarily
exploration and evaluation activities.
-- In the first two instances, we capitalize costs as development
expenditures. In the third instance, we capitalize costs as exploration
and evaluation assets.
Development expenditures
We capitalize the costs of acquiring and developing mineral reserves and resources on the balance sheet as we incur them. These costs include accessing the ore body, designing and constructing the production infrastructure, interest and financing relating to construction, and costs that can be directly attributed to bringing the assets to the condition necessary for their intended use. This includes costs during the commissioning period when required before the asset can operate at normal levels.
Development expenditures are not depreciated. When production begins, we reclassify these costs to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment and depreciate them according to our accounting policy.
Capitalized stripping
In open pit mining operations, we remove overburden and other waste in order to access the ore body (stripping). During development, we capitalize the cost of stripping as part of the cost of mine development and reclassify it to property when production begins.
During the production phase, we capitalize these costs to property when stripping activity gives us access to reserves that would not otherwise have been accessible, and that we expect will be mined in the future. We amortize production phase stripping costs over the reserves that are directly affected by the stripping activity on a units-of-production basis.
Leasing
We determine whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement, considering whether the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
We classify a lease as financial when we carry substantially all of the risks and rewards of owning the asset. We capitalize assets under financial leases at either the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term using the interest rate in the lease agreement - whichever is lower. We determine these amounts at the inception of the lease and depreciate the corresponding asset over its estimated useful life or the lease term - whichever is shorter. We recognize a corresponding amount representing our future obligation for finance leases in Other liabilities in the balance sheet, and recognize the associated accretion expense over time in finance costs in the statement of earnings.
We classify a lease as operating when we do not have substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. We recognize rentals payable under operating leases in the statement of earnings on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, we look for indications of impairment of our non-current assets. If there are indicators of impairment, we carry out a formal test to see whether the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
An asset's recoverable amount is its fair value less costs to sell or its value-in-use - whichever is higher.
-- Fair value less costs to sell is the amount we would receive from the
sale of the asset in an arm's-length transaction between knowledgeable
and willing parties. For our mining assets, we generally use the present
value of future cash flows we expect from their continued use, including
any expansion prospects, and from their eventual disposal. When
assessing cash flows and discounting them to present value, we use
assumptions that we believe an arm's length party would consider
appropriate.
-- We calculate the value-in-use of an asset by using the present value of
cash flows we expect from its continued use in its present form, and
from its disposal, without taking into account any future development.
Value-in-use is likely to be different from fair value because we use
different assumptions.
If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, we recognize an impairment loss in the statement of earnings to reflect the lower amount of the asset. We recognize impairment losses related to continuing operations in the statement of earnings in the expense category that relates to the asset's function.
We carry out these reviews for each asset, unless the asset does not generate cash flows on its own. In this case, we will carry out the review at the cash-generating unit level. Cash generating units are the smallest identifiable group of assets and liabilities that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. This generally results in an evaluation of assets at the mine entity level.
We reverse an impairment loss in the statement of earnings if the estimates we used to calculate the recoverable amount have changed since we recognized the impairment. We increase the carrying amount to the recoverable amount, net of the depreciation or amortization that would have arisen if we had not recognized the original impairment loss.
After a reversal, we recognize depreciation over the asset's remaining useful life based on its revised carrying amount, less any residual value.
Government subsidies
We recognize government subsidies when there is reasonable assurance we will receive the subsidy and will comply with all of the associated conditions. We credit government subsidies related to a capital expenditure against the carrying amount of the related asset, and amortize the subsidy over the expected useful life of the asset. We credit subsidies that are not associated with an asset to income, to match them with the expenses they relate to.
Provisions for asset retirement obligations
Our mines, closed properties and joint ventures are subject to environmental laws and regulations in Canada and the other countries we operate in. Mining companies are legally obligated to rehabilitate land and other property that has been damaged or contaminated in the course of their business activities. While rehabilitation activities usually happen after the site has been closed, companies are required to estimate reclamation costs from both operating sites and closed sites.
We incur obligations to restore and rehabilitate land and the environment as we carry out the regular construction and operation of our mines. Costs can include, among other things, the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas. We recognize a provision for these costs as the related disturbances occur, using our best estimate of future costs based on information available at the balance sheet date, including an adjustment for risk when there is significant variability in possible outcomes. We discount the provision using a current inflation adjusted pre-tax risk free interest rate and include the accretion of the discounted amount over time in finance costs in the statement of earnings.
When we recognize a provision, we record a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related asset (where we can identify one) and recognize depreciation following our accounting policies for property, plant and equipment.
We review these provisions annually for changes to our obligations, legislation or discount rates that affect our cost estimates or lives of operations. We adjust the provision and the cost of the related asset (where we can identify one) when there is a change in the estimated cash flows or discount rate, and depreciate the adjusted cost of the asset prospectively.
When we do not identify an asset, such as at our closed sites, we record a provision or a change in provision in cost of sales.
Other provisions
We recognize a provision when we have a legal or constructive obligation because of past events, and it is probable that, to settle the obligation, we will be required to make a payment that we can reliably estimate. If its effect is material, we discount the provision to net present value using a pre-tax risk free interest rate. We recognize the accretion of discounted provisions over the time of the obligation in finance costs in the statement of earnings.
Income taxes
We calculate current income tax expense for each of our taxable entities based on the local taxable income at the local statutory tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and include adjustments to income taxes payable or recoverable for previous periods.
We calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the carrying amounts in our balance sheet and their tax bases, using income tax rates we expect to be in effect when the temporary differences are likely to be settled. We present all deferred taxes as non-current assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.
We only recognize deferred tax assets when it is probable that we will have enough taxable income in the future to recover them. We include the effects of changes in tax rates in income when the change is enacted or substantively enacted.
We recognize deferred tax assets or liabilities for all temporary differences, except for:
-- a deferred tax liability on the initial recognition of goodwill
-- a deferred tax asset or liability arising from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, does not
affect accounting profit or loss, or taxable profit or loss
-- a deferred tax liability related to investments in subsidiaries,
branches, associates and interests in joint ventures, when we can
control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and when
it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
We review the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets at each balance sheet date and adjust it if:
-- an asset not previously recognized meets the criteria for recognition
-- our estimate of future taxable income available to recover them changes.
We recognize current and deferred tax that relates to equity items in equity, and not in the statement of earnings.
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Assets held for sale
We classify assets and disposal groups as held for sale if we will recover their carrying amounts through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the assets or disposal groups are available for immediate sale in their present condition. We must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year of the date of classification.
We carry assets (or disposal groups) held for sale at the lower of the carrying amount before being classified as held for sale, and the fair value less costs to sell. We present the assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale separately as one line in the assets and liabilities sections on the statement of financial position.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that has been disposed of or classified as held for sale, with operations and cash flows that are clearly distinguished both operationally and for financial reporting purposes from the rest of the entity. To be classified as a discontinued operation, an operation must:
-- represent a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations
-- be part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line
of business or geographical area of operations, or
-- be a subsidiary acquired only for resale.
When the operation is discontinued at the balance sheet date, the results are presented in one line on the statement of earnings, and prior period results are represented as discontinued.
See note 10 for a breakdown of our results from discontinued operations.
Cash and short-term investments
Cash includes cash and money market instruments that mature in 90 days or less from the date of acquisition. Short-term investments mature in 91 days to a year.
In the consolidated statements of cash flows, we disclose:
-- short-term investments we buy with cash during the year as cash used in
investing activities
-- short-term investments we sell to generate cash as a source of cash from
investing activities
See note 7 for a breakdown of our cash and short-term investments.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash includes cash that has been pledged for other uses, such as reclamation, and is not available for immediate disbursement.
See note 8 for a breakdown of our restricted cash.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments include cash, as well as any contract that gives rise to a financial asset to one party and a financial liability or equity instrument to another party. We classify financial instruments at their initial recognition. We initially recognize financial instruments at their fair value.
Fair value is the value a financial instrument can be closed out or sold at, in a transaction with a willing and knowledgeable counterparty. It is usually the instrument's quoted market price. If a quoted market price is not available, we determine fair value with models using market-based or independent information and assumptions.
Cash and short-term investments, accounts receivable from metal sales, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities
These financial instruments have been designated as fair value through profit and loss and are recorded at fair value. We record any changes in their fair value in net income. We record interest and dividends earned on cash, short-term investments and restricted cash in Investment and other income. For cash, we calculate fair value using published price quotations in an active market where there is one. Otherwise fair value represents cost plus accrued interest, which is reasonable given its short-term nature. We record accounts receivable related to metal sales at fair value based on forward market metal prices on the date of the balance sheet (see our Revenue policy above). We record accounts payable and accrued liabilities at amortized cost, which approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.
Investments
Our investments in equity securities are designated as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. We calculate fair value using the bid price of the investment as quoted in an active market. We record changes in the fair value of our investments in Other comprehensive income. The change in fair value of an investment in an equity security appears in Investment and other income only when it is sold or impaired.
Our investments in long-term government and corporate bonds are designated as held to maturity. We initially recognize these investments at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost with the related interest income recorded in Investment and other income. We only designate investments as held to maturity when we intend, and have the ability, to hold them to maturity.
We capitalize transaction costs related to investments we make and include these in the investment's initial carrying value.
Loans and receivables
All non-metal receivables are designated as loans and receivables. We initially measure these assets at fair value. In subsequent periods, we measure them at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Long-term debt
Our long-term debt is designated as other liabilities and is accounted for at amortized cost. We record interest expense on long-term debt in finance costs in the statement of earnings unless it relates specifically to a development project, and has been accounted for using our accounting policy for borrowing costs.
Derecognition of financial instruments
We will derecognize a financial asset when:
-- our rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired
-- our right to receive cash flows has been retained, but we have assumed
an obligation to pay them in full to a third party without material
delay, or
-- our right to receive cash flows has been transferred, together with
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
We derecognize financial liabilities when the associated obligation is discharged, cancelled or has expired.
Impairment of financial assets
We review our investments for impairment at the end of each reporting period based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, including the extent that cost exceeds market value, the length of a market decline and the financial health of the issuer.
For loans and receivables and our investments in long-term bonds, we measure the amount of the loss as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. We reduce the carrying amount of the asset and recognize the amount of the loss in the income statement in investment and other income. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, we reverse the previously recognized impairment loss. We recognize any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss in the income statement, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.
If our investments in equity securities are impaired, we transfer the difference between its cost and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the income statement, from accumulated other comprehensive income to the income statement in investment and other income.
Embedded derivatives
When we enter into a contract, we determine whether it contains an embedded derivative. We separate an embedded derivative from its host contract if the derivative is not measured at fair value through profit and loss, and when its economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the host contract. In these circumstances, we recognize the embedded derivative according to our accounting policy for derivatives.
Derivatives and hedging
We designate non-financial derivative contracts as held-for-trading and record them at fair value on the balance sheet. We include mark-to-market adjustments on these instruments in net income, unless the instruments are designated as part of a hedge relationship.
We record derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date we enter into a derivative, we designate it as a hedging instrument or a non-hedge derivative. A hedging instrument is designated in either:
-- a fair value hedge relationship with a recognized asset or liability, or
-- a cash flow hedge relationship with either a forecasted transaction, the
variable future cash flows arising from a recognized asset or liability,
or a foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment.
When we enter into a hedging contract, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the items it hedges, and the related risk-management strategy. This documentation:
-- links the hedging instrument to a specific asset or liability, specific
forecasted transaction, firm commitment or variable future cash flows
-- defines how we assess retrospective and prospective hedge effectiveness.
At the end of every quarter, we determine whether we expect a hedging instrument to be highly effective in offsetting risk in the future. If we do not expect it to be highly effective, we stop hedge accounting prospectively, and keep accumulated gains or losses in other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects earnings.
We also stop hedge accounting prospectively if:
-- a derivative is settled
-- it is no longer highly probable that a forecasted transaction will occur
-- we de-designate a hedging relationship.
If we conclude that it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not happen within the documented time frame, we immediately transfer all gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income to earnings. When hedge accounting stops, we reclassify the derivative as a non-hedge derivative prospectively.
We classify cash flows from a derivative in the same category as the cash flows from the item it hedges. We record cash flows from non-hedge derivatives as operating cash flows.
We record derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and record changes in the fair value of derivatives at the end of every period:
-- fair value hedges: we record the change in the fair value of the
derivative and the item it hedges in earnings
-- cash flow hedges: we record the change in the fair value of the
derivative in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by
the item it hedges, except for any hedge ineffectiveness which we
immediately record in earnings
-- non-hedge derivatives: we record the change in the fair value of the
derivative in investment and other income.
Gold forward sales contracts
We use the dollar offset method to assess the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of a hedging relationship:
-- prospective effectiveness: we compare the effect of theoretical shifts
in forward gold prices on the fair value of the actual derivative and a
hypothetical derivative.
-- retrospective effectiveness: we compare the effect of historical changes
in gold prices each period on the fair value of the actual and the
hypothetical derivative.
We record the effective portion of a change in a gold contract's fair value in other comprehensive income until forecasted gold sales affect earnings.
Borrowing costs
When we can attribute borrowing costs directly to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use, we capitalize these costs as part of the asset's carrying value and amortize them over its useful life. Otherwise, we capitalize borrowing costs related to the establishment of a loan facility as long-term debt, and amortize them over the life of the loan facility.
We recognize other borrowing costs as an expense when we incur them.
Share capital
When we issue common shares, we recognize them in share capital at the net proceeds received (the fair value of the consideration we received, less costs we incurred to issue the shares).
Share-based compensation plans
We have a number of equity-settled and cash settled share-based compensation plans for senior management under which we issue either Inmet common shares or make cash payments based on the value of Inmet common shares. We calculate the cumulative expense at each balance sheet date before vesting, basing it on the vesting period remaining and our best estimate of the fair value of awards that we ultimately expect to vest, and recognize any change in the statement of earnings in general and administration. Annually, we adjust the estimated forfeiture rate for actual forfeitures in the year. For equity settled awards, we determine the fair value at the grant date and recognize our obligation in equity. For cash-settled awards, we recalculate the fair value at each balance sheet date until the awards are settled and recognize our obligation as a liability. Our share-based compensation plans comprise the following:
Stock option plan: Stock options are equity-settled by issuing shares from treasury. We estimate the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options vest evenly over a four-year period.
Performance share unit (PSU) plan: PSUs are cash-settled and are subject to certain vesting requirements and vest at the end of a three year performance period. Vesting requirements are based on performance criteria established by the board of directors (Board). We re-measure the fair value of PSUs at each balance sheet date using a Monte Carlo pricing model that takes into account expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate over the life of the PSUs to generate potential outcomes for share prices, which are used to estimate the probability of the PSUs vesting at the end of the three year performance measurement period. A Monte Carlo pricing model is a technique used to approximate the probability of certain outcomes, called simulations, based on normally distributed random variables and highly subjective assumptions. This model generates potential outcomes for stock prices and allows for the simulation of multiple stocks in tandem resulting in an estimated probability of vesting.
Deferred share unit (DSU) program: this program allows Inmet directors to receive director fees in the form of DSUs rather than cash. DSUs are equity-settled by issuing shares from treasury and directors can only redeem their units for Inmet common shares when they retire. DSUs are fully vested when granted. We determine the fair value of DSUs at the grant date based on the closing trading price of an Inmet common share.
Long-term incentive plan (LTIP): this plan ties a portion of incentive compensation to the completion of specific development projects as defined under the plan. LTIP units are equity-settled by issuing shares from treasury. The Board uses its discretion to determine the vesting date for an award, but vesting is generally when the development project is determined to be substantially complete and has operated for enough time to be able to assess its ongoing operating parameters. The Board determines the number of units that vest by assessing senior management's performance against the expectations underlying the Board's original decision to develop the project. We calculate the stock based compensation expense using the estimated vesting date for the project associated with an award, and an estimate of senior management's ultimate performance for an award based on performance to date (estimated performance). We determine the fair value of LTIP units at the grant date based on the closing trading price of an Inmet common share.
Share award plan (SAP): at the time a share award is made, it is equity-settled by purchasing an equivalent number of Inmet common shares on the open market and we record this amount against contributed surplus. The share awards vest evenly over a period of four years.
See note 13 for more information related to our share based compensation plans.
Net income per share
We calculate basic net income per share by dividing net income available to the common shareholders of Inmet Mining by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.
We calculate diluted net income per share by taking into consideration the dilutive effects of stock options, DSUs and LTIP units. For stock options, we calculate dilution based upon the net number of common shares to be issued assuming in-the-money options are exercised and the proceeds are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price in the period. We also adjust the weighted average number of common shares by the number of DSUs outstanding and the number of LTIP units that are expected to vest.
See note 18 for our calculation of basic and diluted net income per share.
Employee future benefits
We provide a defined contribution retirement benefit to employees in Canada.
Employees in the other jurisdictions where we operate either have state pension arrangements or do not receive pension benefits.
Certain employees take part in the defined contribution employee benefit plans. Our cost for these plans is the required contributions based on specified percentages of salaries we are required to make.
For certain executives, our total contribution to the defined contribution component of the registered plan, including the annual cash payment in lieu of a supplementary pension plan, is equivalent to 9 to 12 percent of their salary and bonus.
We expense contributions as they come due.
4. Application of critical accounting judgements and estimates
Preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires us to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates and assumptions are based on our experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We continuously evaluate these estimates, but actual outcomes could be different.
The most critical judgements, estimates and assumptions are described below.
Estimated mineral reserves
Our mineral reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from our mining properties. To calculate reserves, we use estimates and assumptions about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates, production and freight costs, commodity prices and exchange rates. Our reserves for all operations are estimated based on information compiled by or under the supervision of a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
Changes in our reserve estimates can affect:
-- asset carrying values due to changes in estimated future cash flows and
impairment analysis
-- depreciation in the statement of earnings, when depreciation is based on
units of production, or when the useful economic life of an asset
changes
-- asset retirement obligations where changes in estimated reserves affect
expectations about the timing or cost of these activities.
Provision for asset retirement obligations
Our closed mines, operations and joint ventures are subject to environmental laws and regulations in Canada, the United States and the other countries in which we operate.
Our provision for asset retirement obligations is our best estimate of the present value of the future costs of mine closure, and involves a significant number of technical issues, estimates and assumptions, with many uncertainties, including changes to the relevant legal and regulatory framework, the magnitude of possible contamination and the timing and extent of the cost of required restoration activities. We will record any changes that arise prospectively, as follows:
-- operating mines: we record changes in the balance sheet by adjusting the
reclamation asset and provision, which affects both future depreciation
and finance costs
-- closed properties: we immediately recognize changes to estimated costs
in the statement of earnings as finance costs.
Impairment of assets
If we believe an asset may be impaired, we calculate its recoverable amount as either its fair value less costs to sell, or its value in use (whichever is higher), following our Impairment of assets accounting policy described in note 3.
When following this policy, we make estimates and assumptions about future production and sales volumes, future commodity prices, recoverable mineral reserves, discount rates, foreign exchange rates, future operating and capital costs. We may also make assumptions about our ability to obtain financing for a project or to recover costs by selling an asset. Actual outcomes could be different.
Income taxes
We operate in a number of countries around the world and are subject to, and pay annual income taxes under the regimes in countries in which we operate. These tax regimes are determined under general corporate income tax laws in those countries. We file all required income tax returns and pay the taxes reasonably determined to be due.
The tax laws in many countries can be complex and subject to interpretation. From time to time, there may be disagreement with the taxing authorities over our interpretation of the country's income tax rules. The final outcome of these disputes could be materially different from our estimated tax liabilities.
We have significant Canadian tax benefits from capital losses, capital cost allowances and mining resource pools. We only recognize deferred tax assets arising from tax loss carry forwards, capital losses and temporary differences when it is probable that we will have enough taxable income in the future to recover them, therefore this is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable income.
Our estimates of future taxable income include assumptions about interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other factors. Our future income tax asset could be reduced if future taxable income is reduced resulting in a corresponding charge to income tax expense in the statement of earnings.
Plant construction
In the construction of plant and equipment, we capitalize costs that can be directly attributed to bringing the asset into working condition for its intended use, including costs during a commissioning period, before the asset is able to operate at normal levels.
We use several criteria to determine when an asset is able to operate at normal levels. These are complex, and depend on each development property's plan and its economic, political and environmental condition. Criteria can include:
-- producing saleable material
-- completing a reasonable period of testing of the plant and equipment in
the mine, mill and/or plant
-- achieving certain level of recoveries from the ore mined and processed
-- sustaining ongoing production and reaching a certain level of
production.
Once these criteria are met, we stop capitalizing the costs related to the commissioning period, and begin to recognize production costs in the statement of earnings.
5. Standards issued but not yet effective
The IASB has issued the following new standards and amendments to existing standards. These changes in accounting are not yet effective at June 30, 2011, and could have an impact in future periods:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IFRS 9 Financial IFRS 9 simplifies the current measurement
instruments model for financial instruments under IFRS
and establishes two measurement categories
for financial assets: amortized cost and fair
value. Existing IAS 39 categories of loans
and receivables, held-to-maturity
investments, and available-for-sale financial
assets will be eliminated. A financial asset
can be measured at amortized cost when:
- the objective of the business model is to
hold assets in order to collect contractual
cash flows, and
- the contractual terms give rise, on
contractual dates, to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on
principal outstanding.
All other financial assets are measured at
fair value.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IFRS 10 Consolidated IFRS 10 provides a definition of control
financial statements determined by the following three elements:
power over an investee, exposure to variable
returns from an investee, and the ability to
use power to affect the reporting entity's
returns. Power is not defined as the legal or
contractual right to direct activities, but
is based on the ability to direct activities,
which requires the entity to exercise
significant judgment. Accounting requirements
and consolidation procedures remain unchanged
from IAS 27.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IFRS 11 Joint arrangements IFRS 11 introduces a principle-based approach
where a party to a joint arrangement
recognizes its own rights and obligations
arising from the arrangement. Joint
arrangements not structured through a
separate vehicle are classified as a 'joint
operation' and the accounting for
transactions is in accordance with the
contractual arrangement. Joint arrangements
structured through a separate vehicle must be
evaluated based on their legal form and the
terms of the contractual arrangement; these
arrangements are classified as either a joint
operation or a joint venture based on this
evaluation. Joint ventures are accounted for
using the equity method. The most significant
impact of this standard is therefore the
elimination of proportionate consolidation as
a method to account for joint arrangements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IFRS 12 Disclosure of IFRS 12 enhances, and replaces the disclosure
interests in other requirements for subsidiaries, joint
entities arrangements, associates and unconsolidated
structured entities. The standard requires a
reporting entity to disclose information that
helps users assess the nature and financial
effects of the reporting entity's
relationship with other entities. Disclosure
requirements include information that helps
users in understanding the judgments and
assumptions made by a reporting entity when
deciding how to classify its involvement with
another entity, understand the interest that
non-controlling interests have in
consolidated entities, and assess the nature
of the risks associated with interests in
other entities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IFRS 13 Fair value IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets a framework
measurement for measuring fair value, and requires
disclosures about fair value measurements.
Generally, the standard does not introduce
new requirements to measure assets or
liabilities at fair value, change what is
measured at fair value in IFRS, or address
how to present changes in fair value, but
rather consolidates guidance on fair value
into a single standard and better clarifies
measurement and disclosure objectives
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IAS 19 Employee benefits The IASB published amendments to IAS 19, the
standard dealing with accounting for pensions
and other post-retirement and post-employment
benefits, most significantly:
- Immediate recognition of all changes in a
plan's funded status (i.e. removal of the
corridor approach option for recognizing
actuarial gains and losses)
- streamlining the presentation of changes in
assets and liabilities arising from defined
benefit plans, including requiring re-
measurements to be presented in other
comprehensive income (OCI), thereby
separating those changes from changes that
many perceive to be the result of an entity's
day-to-day operations
- expanded disclosures about defined benefit
plans, with an additional focus on describing
the risks to which the plan sponsor is
exposed because of the plan and the effect of
the plan on the plan sponsor's future cash
flows
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
These standards and amendments are effective for financial periods beginning January 1, 2013, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact these changes in accounting will have on our consolidated financial statements.
6. First time adoption of IFRS
We have adopted IFRS from January 1, 2011, as required for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada.
Our transition date is January 1, 2010 and we have adjusted 2010 comparative information from what was previously reported under Canadian GAAP to conform to IFRS.
Under IFRS 1 - First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, we must apply IFRS retrospectively at the transition date, changing retained earnings to incorporate all adjustments to assets and liabilities as stated previously under Canadian GAAP, except where we apply any exemptions that are available. We have applied the following significant exemptions:
-- we did not restate acquisitions we made before January 1, 2010 in
accordance with IFRS 3 - Business combinations
-- we reset the cumulative translation gains and losses in accumulated
other comprehensive income to nil at January 1, 2010 and made the
corresponding adjustment to retained earnings
-- we applied IFRS 2 - Share based payments only to equity settled share
based payment awards we granted after November 7, 2002 and that had not
vested by January 1, 2010
-- for certain mines, we used a transitional calculation to determine the
property, plant and equipment associated with our provision for asset
retirement obligations. Under this calculation, we measured the
provision at the transition date and discounted to the date the
liability first arose. The result became the initial asset value we
applied depreciation to.
Balance sheet reconciliations
The schedule below reconciles our Canadian GAAP and IFRS balance sheets as

Notes to the balance sheet reconciliations as at January 1, 2010, June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010:
Reclassifications
We reclassified several items to conform to IFRS. The following are the most significant:
-- non-controlling interests are under a separate component of equity.
Under Canadian GAAP, we reported these as a liability.
-- current deferred income tax assets and liabilities are under long term
assets and liabilities. Under IFRS, all deferred income taxes assets and
liabilities must be classified as long term.
-- asset retirement obligations are under provisions. We previously
reported these as a separate long term liability.
-- certain employee compensation obligations are under current and long
term provisions. Under Canadian GAAP, we reported them in accounts
payable if they were current obligations, or as other liabilities if
they were long term obligations.
Adjustments
(i) Revenue recognition - at January 1, 2010 we increased accounts receivable by $25.8 million (June 30, 2010 - $29.0 million, December 31, 2010 - $27.5 million) and reduced inventory by $5.6 million (June 30, 2010 - $7.8 million, December 31, 2010 - $6.3 million).
Under IFRS, we recognize revenue when all significant risks and rewards of ownership of our products are transferred to the purchaser. Under Canadian GAAP, title also had to legally transfer to the purchaser before revenue was recognized. For certain shipments at Cayeli, Pyhasalmi and Ok Tedi, we transfer title when we receive the first provisional payment, which is later than the transfer point for risks and rewards of ownership.
(ii) Reversal of impairment of assets - at January 1, 2010, we increased property plant and equipment by $51.9 million (June 30, 2010 - $48.2 million, December 31, 2010 - $41.1 million) to reverse an impairment charge we recognized for Cayeli in 1996. The increase is the IFRS carrying amount we would have calculated, net of depreciation, if we had not recognized the original impairment.
Canadian GAAP did not allow for reversal of impairment charges after they were initially recognized. Under IFRS, we must reverse an impairment loss if there is a change in the estimates we used to determine the recoverable amount. In 1996, after Cayeli's first two years of operations, we recognized an impairment charge of $128 million against property, plant and equipment. At the time, zinc and copper recoveries were significantly lower than feasibility levels, and were continuing to deteriorate. The complex mineralogy of the Cayeli ore body, continuing poor metallurgical results and the possibility that no improvements may have been achievable were the main reasons for the impairment. After many initiatives and capital improvements, and many years of significantly improved production performance since that time, we concluded that the extensive uncertainties underlying the original impairment no longer apply, and that Cayeli's recoverable amount exceeded its carrying value on our transition to IFRS.
(iii) Plant and equipment at Ok Tedi - at January 1, 2010, we increased property, plant and equipment by $14.5 million (June 30, 2010 - $16.0 million). For plant and equipment that was purchased after our initial proportionate consolidation of Ok Tedi, we used Ok Tedi's accumulated depreciation, which Ok Tedi has used historically under IFRS.
(iv) Property, plant and equipment associated with asset retirement obligations - at January 1, 2010, we increased property, plant and equipment by $8.8 million (June 30, 2010 - $13.0 million, December 31, 2010 - $12.1 million).
Under both IFRS and Canadian GAAP, we recognize a corresponding change in the provision for asset retirement obligations in the carrying value of the related property, plant and equipment and depreciate this amount prospectively. The amount of our asset retirement obligations under IFRS is different from the amount under Canadian GAAP as described in (vi) below, and therefore has an impact on our related assets.
(v) Foreign exchange forward contract - at January 1, 2010, we increased property, plant and equipment by $13.4 million on our transition to IFRS (June 30, 2010 - $11.6 million, December 31, 2010 - $11.5 million).
To fix the amount of euros under its credit facility upon conversion to a US dollar denominated loan, Las Cruces entered into a forward contract to exchange US $215 million for EUR171.1 million. In 2008, this derivative settled on a net basis with Las Cruces receiving cash of EUR32.6 million ($52.3 million).
Under Canadian GAAP, we applied hedge accounting for this contract. While the credit facility was outstanding, Las Cruces capitalized the related interest under its credit facility as a cost of deferred development. We amortized the gain in property, plant and equipment, as a reduction of this capitalized interest. Under IFRS, this instrument does not qualify as a hedge for accounting purposes, and we reclassified the amount we had recognized against property, plant and equipment to retained earnings.
(vi) Provision for asset retirement obligations - at January 1, 2010, we increased our provision for asset retirement obligations by $39.8 million (June 30, 2010 - $36.9 million, December 31, 2010 - $43.6 million).
Under IFRS, we measure asset retirement obligations using a risk free interest rate, and revalue for changes in market risk free interest rates. Under Canadian GAAP, we used a credit adjusted risk free interest rate and were not required to remeasure for changes in market rates.
(vii) Deferred income taxes - translation of non-monetary items - at January 1, 2010, we increased deferred income tax assets by $3.3 million (June 30, 2010 - $0.4 million, December 31, 2010 - $1.0 million).
Under IFRS, when an entity's taxes are denominated in a currency that is not its functional currency (Cayeli and Ok Tedi), we are required to recognize deferred income taxes and liabilities related to the foreign exchange gains and losses for foreign non-monetary assets and liabilities that are re-measured into the functional currency, using historical foreign exchange rates. This was not allowed under Canadian GAAP.
(viii) Deferred income taxes - as a result of the tax effect of changes to our opening balances under IFRS, we decreased deferred income tax assets by $12.2 million at January 1, 2010 (June 30, 2010 - $11.6 million, December 31, 2010 - $6.4 million) and increased deferred income tax liabilities by $10.7 million (June 30, 2010 - $10.3 million, December 31, 2010 - decrease of $65.9 million).
(ix) Cumulative translation adjustment - at January 1, 2010, we reset the cumulative translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income to nil, and recognized a corresponding decrease of $61.2 million in retained earnings, using an election under IFRS 1.
(x) Acquisition of non-controlling interest in Las Cruces - at December 31, 2010, we decreased inventory by $6.8 million, deceased property, plant and equipment by $247.0 million, decreased goodwill by $76.4 million and increased share capital by $73.9 million.
Under Canadian GAAP, companies that acquire an additional interest in an entity they already control must account for it as a step acquisition. Under IFRS, acquiring a non-controlling interest is not considered a business combination, and is instead accounted for as an equity transaction. Under IFRS, we have accounted for our acquisition of the remaining 30 percent interest in Las Cruces which closed in December 2010, as an equity transaction, because we already controlled it.
(xi) Assets and liabilities held for sale for Ok Tedi - on January 29, 2011, Ok Tedi Mining Limited repurchased our 18 percent equity interest in Ok Tedi for US $335 million, and we classified it as held for sale at December 31, 2010 (consistent to our Canadian GAAP presentation). Our share of Ok Tedi's assets and liabilities classified as held for sale under IFRS were $36.8 million and $9.4 million higher respectively than they were under Canadian GAAP because of the adjustments outlined above.
(xii) Equity reconciliation - The table below reconciles total equity under Canadian GAAP to total equity under IFRS, and illustrates the after-tax effect of each of the most significant adjustments had on equity.

Notes to the reconciliation of the statement of earnings for three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010:
Reclassifications
When we adopted IFRS, we reclassified accretion of asset retirement obligations and capital lease obligations to finance costs. We recognized it as part of cost of sales under Canadian GAAP.
Ok Tedi
In January 2011, we sold our 18 percent equity interest in Ok Tedi. As the operations and cash flows for Ok Tedi have been eliminated as a result of this disposal and we have no continuing involvement with this operation, we have presented our proportionately consolidated results from Ok Tedi as discontinued operations retroactively. The sale of our investment in Ok Tedi did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations under Canadian GAAP. This change affects our entire income statement so we have disclosed it separately.
Adjustments
(i) Revenue - for the three months ended June 30, 2010 we increased revenue by $3.1 million (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $7.4 million, year ended December 31, 2010 - $37.1 million) and made associated adjustments to smelter processing charges and freight, cost of sales and depreciation.
Under IFRS, we recognize revenue when all significant risks and rewards of ownership of our products are transferred to the purchaser. Under Canadian GAAP, title also had to legally transfer to the purchaser before revenue was recognized. For certain shipments at Cayeli, Pyhasalmi and Ok Tedi, we transfer title when we receive the first provisional payment, which is later than the transfer point for risks and rewards of ownership.
(ii) Foreign exchange gains and losses - for the three months ended June 30, 2010, we reversed foreign exchange losses recognized under Canadian GAAP, which increased investment and other income by $21.4 million (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $22.7 million, year ended December 31, 2010 - $22.7 million).
Under IFRS, only dividends that represent a return on capital invested in a foreign operation require recognition of previously deferred foreign exchange gains or losses. Under Canadian GAAP, dividends, including those related to the accumulation of earnings are considered a return on investment, and we recognized the deferred foreign exchange gains or losses on these amounts in investment and other income.
(iii) Depreciation - we increased property, plant and equipment relating to the reversal of an impairment charge recognized for Cayeli, and made an associated increase in depreciation of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $4.0 million, year ended December 31, 2010 - $7.9 million).
(iv) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment associated with asset retirement obligations - we recognized a $3.4 million decrease in depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $6.6 million, year ended December 31, 2010 - $6.3 million).
Under both IFRS and Canadian GAAP, we recognize a corresponding change in the provision for asset retirement obligations in the carrying value of the related property, plant and equipment and depreciate this amount prospectively. The amount of our asset retirement obligations under IFRS is different from the amount under Canadian GAAP, and therefore has an impact on our related assets and depreciation expense.
(v) Provision for asset retirement obligations - we increased cost of sales by $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to increase our asset retirement obligations at our closed properties as a result of changes in discount rates.
Under IFRS, we measure asset retirement obligations using a risk free interest rate, and revalue for changes in market risk free interest rates. Under Canadian GAAP, we used a credit adjusted risk free interest rate and were not required to remeasure for changes in market rates.
(vi) Deferred income taxes - as a result of the tax effect of changes recognized in our income statement under IFRS, we increased income tax expense by $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $3.3 million, year ended December 31, 2010 - $4.8 million)
The schedule below reconciles our Canadian GAAP and IFRS comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010. The Canadian GAAP statement of comprehensive income is presented in an IFRS format.

Notes to the reconciliation of the statement of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010
Adjustments
(i) Currency translation adjustments - for the three months ended June 30, 2010, we reversed foreign exchange losses previously recognized in the statement of earnings under Canadian GAAP, which decreased other comprehensive income by $21.4 million (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $22.7 million, year ended December 31, 2010 - $22.7 million).
Under IFRS, only dividends that represent a return on capital invested in a foreign operation require recognition of previously deferred foreign exchange gains or losses. Under Canadian GAAP, dividends, including those related to the accumulation of earnings and repayment of intercompany debt, are considered a return on investment, and we recognized the deferred foreign exchange gains or losses on these amounts in investment and other income.
(ii) Currency translation adjustments - as a result of the currency translation impact of recognizing changes to our balance sheet under IFRS, we decreased other comprehensive income by $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 (six months ended June 30, 2010 - $10.1 million, year ended December 31, 2010 - $5.5 million).
Cash flow statement
The IFRS transition adjustments above did not have an impact on our cash and short-term investments. Differences in our cash flow statements between Canadian GAAP and IFRS are the result of non-cash adjustments to items in the statements of earnings outlined above and the presentation of Ok Tedi cash flows as discontinued operations (note 10).

9. Held to maturity investments
In the first quarter, we purchased US $274 million of US Treasury bonds with credit ratings of AAA. The bonds mature between March 2012 and January 2016 and have a weighted average annual yield to maturity of 1.2 percent. Additionally, we purchased a Provincial Government bond for $8 million with a credit rating of AA, maturity of June 2011 and an annual yield to maturity of 1.08 percent.
This quarter, $36.3 million of bonds matured and we purchased $6.7 million of Federal and Corporate bonds with credit ratings of AA to AAA. The bonds mature between August 2011 and March 2016 and have a weighted average annual yield to maturity of 1.79 percent. In addition, we purchased US $16.2 million of US Treasury bonds with a credit rating of AAA. The bonds mature between March 2012 and May 2016 and have a weighted average annual yield to maturity of 0.89 percent.
We have designated these bonds as held to maturity, measuring them initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.
10. Sale of our interest in Ok Tedi
On January 29, 2011, Ok Tedi Mining Limited repurchased our 18 percent equity interest in Ok Tedi for US $335 million. Our interest in Ok Tedi met the criteria of an asset held for sale, so we presented our share of the results of operations of Ok Tedi as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings and the consolidated statements of cash flow retroactively. In 2011, after-tax income of $83 million from this discontinued operation includes net earnings of $17 million in January, before the sale, and a gain on sale of $66 million net of withholding taxes. Papua New Guinea withholding taxes of $28 million were paid on the sale and no Canadian taxes were payable, but we expect to reduce our tax - effected Canadian tax loss pools by about $2 million. The following tables provide a breakdown of our share of the earnings and cash flows at Ok Tedi for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011.

12. Common share issuance
On May 17, 2011, Temasek Holdings (Private) Ltd. exchanged its subscriptions receipts for 7.78 million Inmet common shares and we received cash of $500 million, plus accrued interest on funds in escrow during the subscription period.
13. Stock -based compensation
During the second quarter, a number of changes were made to equity-based compensation plans following a review of senior management compensation:
Stock option plan
On June 27, 2011, shareholders approved a share option plan (SOP) for senior management, enabling them to purchase Inmet common shares, with a reserve of 2.8 million common shares. The exercise price is determined by the Board at the time the option is granted, and may not be less than the volume weighted average price of Inmet common shares for the five preceding trading days (5 day VWAP). In the absence of specific vesting conditions determined by the Board at the grant date, each grant will vest 25 percent per year for four years, with each amount vesting on the anniversary of the grant date (graded vesting).
An initial grant of 380,000 options was made to senior management on May 10, 2011, with an exercise price of $65.11, graded vesting and an expiry date of May 10, 2018. We calculated the compensation expense for these options using the Black Scholes valuation model assuming the following weighted average parameters, resulting in a weighted average fair value per option of $28.86 per option: 5 year expected life, 49 percent expected volatility, expected dividend rate of 0.3 percent annually and a risk free interest rate of 2 percent.
Performance share unit plan
Effective May 10, 2011, we adopted a performance share unit plan (PSUP) for senior management. The Board grants performance share units (PSUs) at its sole discretion with PSU grants generally being equal in value to a percentage of an executive's annual base salary. The vesting period for the PSUs is the three year period commencing on January 1 of the year in which a PSU grant is made and ending on November 25th of the second year following the year in which the grant is made. Each PSU is settled in cash based on the 5 day VWAP prior to November 25 of the second year following the year of the grant.
We used a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the compensation expense for the PSUs assuming no forfeitures, 3 year historical average volatilities and a risk free interest rate of 1.9%.
Long-term incentive plan
On May 10, 2011, the LTIP units associated with Las Cruces were redeemed with a vesting performance factor of 60 percent, based on the board's assessment of senior management performance for the project. The board decided to redeem the LTIP units for $3.4 million in cash based on the 5 day VWAP of $65.11.
Additionally, the LTIP has been replaced by the SOP and PSUP described above. The 312,000 LTIP units associated with Cobre Panama remain in place and will be redeemed in accordance with the LTIP provisions. However, no additional LTIP units will be granted as a result of the replacement of the plan.
Share award plan
The share award plan has been terminated for the 2011 year onwards in conjunction with the establishment of the SOP and PSUP. Shares already awarded under the plan will continue to vest according to the original vesting period and no additional shares will be awarded.
We recognized the following share-based compensation expense in general and administration:
