technically insolvent as the derivative liability (note 12) is based on
estimated production which provides a higher fair value of the cash generating
mining assets.

4. Derivative financial liability
Gold Wheaton (Barbados) Corporation (GW) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold
Wheaton Gold Corp. (GLW). On 14 March 2011, Franco-Nevada Corporation acquired
all of the outstanding common shares of GLW that it did not already own and GLW
amalgamated with a wholly owned subsidiary of Franco-Nevada
Corporation to form Franco-Nevada GLW Holdings Corp. (FNGLW) and GW changed its
name to Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation (FN). Consequently, going forward
in the financial statements of the Corporation all references to GLW and GW will
be FNGLW and FN, respectively.
On 1 December 2008, MWS, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Chemwes, signed a
definitive agreement with Franco Nevada (FN), whereby FN acquired the right to
receive 25 percent of the life-of-mine production from MWS (the MWS Gold Stream
Transaction). Under the terms of the agreement, FN paid MWS US$125 million
upfront. In addition, FN will make an ongoing payment equal to the lesser of
US$400 per ounce (the Fixed Price) (subject to an annual inflation adjustment of
1 percent, starting in the fourth year after following receipt of the first
payment) and the prevailing sport price per ounce, at the time the gold is
delivered by MWS under the contract.
This transaction is classified as a derivative financial liability and accounted
for as such. The financial liability is fair valued using the Black Scholes
pricing model. All cash received and cost of production relating to the
delivered ounces are recognised as part of the derivative expense related to the
Gold Stream Transactions along with the revaluation effects of the financial
derivative liability.
During the six months ended 30 September 2011 MWS delivered 12,151 (30 September
2010: 10,436; 31 March 2011: 19 873) ounces to FN. The cash received and cost of
sales related to the ounces delivered to FN as well as the effects of revaluing
the financial derivative liability at the end of the year were recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income.
Under the terms of the MWS Gold Stream Transaction, the upfront payment is
reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the market price of gold on
the date of gold delivery to FN and the Fixed Price of the gold multiplied by
the total ounces of gold delivered to FN (the Uncredited Balance). At 30
September 2011 the Uncredited Balance was R462 million (31 March 2011: R812
million).
Pursuant to the MWS Gold Stream Transaction, MWS granted to FN a special bond
over certain of the tailings dams and a pledge of 25% of the gold production
from MWS. First Uranium has guaranteed the obligations owed by MWS to FN.
Pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation settled the completion penalty
obligation to FN in respect of the MWS Gold Stream Transaction with the issuance
of 14 million common shares of First Uranium to FN and a commitment by the
Corporation to complete construction of the third gold plant module at MWS and
satisfaction of the Technical Completion Test pursuant to the MWS Gold Stream
Transaction prior to 1 September 2011. MWS was able to complete the first phase
of the Technical Completion Test which entailed MWS reaching Steady-State
Production. The second phase entailed meeting certain key criteria with respect
to tonnes of material processed, average feed grade to the plant and gold
recovery for a minimum continuous period of 14 days. The second phase of the
test was successfully completed on 24 August 2011 with subsequent confirmation
received from FN on 29 August 2011. The successful completion of the Technical
Completion Test prior to 1 September 2011 avoids the imposition of the penalties
provided under the MWS Gold Stream Transaction in connection with the test.
The derivative financial liability is fair valued using the Black Scholes model.
The following assumptions were used for the valuation at 30 September 2011:
* Strike price of US$400 per ounce of gold
* Gold price at the end of the reporting period of US$1,631
* Volatility of 30% on the gold price
* 3 month US Libor rate - 0.2446
* Gold lease rates as at the time of valuations - 0.01
* Life of mine expected gold production

5. Convertible notes
On 26 April 2010 First Uranium Corporation, MWS`s ultimate holding company,
concluded a private placement offering (the Offering) of Cdn$150 million in
senior secured convertible notes due 31 March 2013 (the Notes). The Notes issued
consisted of R296.1 million in South African Rand denominated Notes (the Rand
Notes) issued by MWS and Cdn$110million in Canadian dollar denominated Notes
(the Canadian Notes) issued by First Uranium Corporation.
Each Rand Note has a principal amount of R1 000 and will be convertible into
107.36 common shares in First Uranium Corporation, also representing a
conversion price of R9.31. The Rand Notes were issued by MWS and if elected by
the holders, upon conversion the holders of these notes will receive common
shares in First Uranium Corporation at point of conversion.
The Notes are guaranteed by the subsidiaries of First Uranium Corporation,
secured by second ranking security over all assets in the First Uranium group
currently encumbered by Franco Nevada and first security over all other current
and future assets of the First Uranium group. The Notes will not be redeemable
until maturity and are subject to typical anti-dilution protections.
In connection with the Offering and in addition to the Notes issued, Simmer and
Jack Mines, Limited (Simmer & Jack) also exchanged its R167.8 million
outstanding facility (see Note 6, Facility with Simmer & Jack) as at 26 April
2010 (including accrued and unpaid interest) for 167,812 Rand Notes on 26 April
2010.
Also in connection with the Offering, First Uranium Corporation settled the
completion penalty obligation to FN pursuant to the MWS Gold Stream Transaction
with the issuance of 14 million common shares in First Uranium Corporation to FN
and a commitment by the Corporation to complete construction of the third gold
plant module at MWS and satisfaction of the technical completion tests prior to
1 September 2011.
The liability component of the Rand Notes is being accreted such that the
liability at maturity will equal the gross amount payable or convertible at
maturity. The rate applied to calculate the liability portion of the Rand Notes
was 15.5%.
The equity component of the Rand Notes (R50 million) was calculated as the
balance between the face value and the liability value of the Rand Notes.
Conversion of Rand Notes
During the six months ended 30 September 2011, 12,207 (31 March 2011: 33,084) of

6. Facility with Simmer & Jack
On 14 August 2009, MWS, through its holding company, First Uranium (Proprietary)
Limited finalised a one-year term credit facility of R160 million with Simmer &
Jack (the Facility). First Uranium (Proprietary) Limited advanced the funds
raised through the Facility with Simmer & Jack immediately to MWS`s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Chemwes (Proprietary) Limited and entered into a back-to-back loan
arrangement with Chemwes effective the same date and on the same terms and
conditions as the Facility with Simmer & Jack. Amounts borrowed under the
facility bore interest at the three-month Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate
(JIBAR) for South African Rand denominated loans plus 7% per annum. The
capitalised costs included an arrangement fee of 3% of the Facility amount.
Undrawn amounts were subject to commitment fees of 2.8% per annum. MWS drew down
the total Facility amount at inception of the Facility and thus no commitment
fees were paid. The Facility with Simmer & Jack including the unpaid interest on
the facility was settled in full on 26 April 2010 with the issue of 167,812 Rand
Notes to Simmer & Jack (Note 5).

7. Franco-Nevada penalty
The MWS Gold Stream Transactions (Note 4, Derivative financial liability)
originally provided for a $42 million penalty payment if construction on
expansion of a third gold plant was not completed by 1 June 2010.
Pursuant to the terms of the Offering (Note 5, Convertible notes), First Uranium
Corporation agreed to settle the $42 million completion penalty obligation in
respect of the MWS Gold Stream Transaction with the issuance of 14 million
common shares in First Uranium Corporation valued at R135 million to FN and a
commitment by First Uranium Corporation to complete construction of the third
gold plant module at MWS and satisfaction of the Technical Completion Tests (as
noted below) prior to 1 September 2011 (Note 4, Derivative financial liability).
On 31 March 2010, MWS provided for R132 million of the FN penalty and on 26
April 2010 provided for a further R3 million through the Statement of
Comprehensive Income in order to account for the settlement of the FN penalty
with the issuance of 14 million common shares in First Uranium Corporation
valued at R135 million on 26 April 2010.
