Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Page 61 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Part 9 Royalties [s 30B] Note— Section 30C allows a person to make an election to change the amount payable for the first or second month of a return period if the person reasonably believes the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the return period will be less than the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the previous return period. (2) The amount payable by the person for the first month of the return period is an amount that is a third of the total amount of the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the previous return period. (3) The amount payable by the person for the second month of the return period is an amount that is a third of the total amount of the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the previous return period. (4) For subsections (2) and (3), the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the previous return period is the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the previous return period— (a) taking into account any determination under section 330 of the Act, and any reassessment under section 331 of the Act, for the royalty made before the earlier of the following happens— (i) the amount for the first month of the return period is paid; (ii) the amount for the first month of the return period becomes payable; and (b) disregarding any determination under section 330 of the Act, and any reassessment under section 331 of the Act, for the royalty made when or after the earlier of the following happens— (i) the amount for the first month of the return period is paid; (ii) the amount for the first month of the return period becomes payable. Page 62 Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Part 9 Royalties [s 30B] Example— The royalty paid for the previous return period was $90000. A reassessment for the previous return period was made by the Minister under section 331 of the Act to increase the royalty payable for the previous return period to $120000. The reassessment was made before the amount payable for the first month of the return period is paid or becomes payable (whichever is the earlier).

(2) For subsection (1), the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the previous return period is the amount that, under section 30B(4), (5)(b) or (6)(b), is the royalty payable by the person under the Act for the previous return period for section 30B(2) and (3). (3) The person may elect to change the amount payable for the first month or the second month of the current return period. (4) The election must— (a) be lodged in the approved form; and (b) state the amount of royalty the person reasonably believes will be payable by the person under the Act for the current return period; and Page 64 Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Part 9 Royalties [s 30C] (c) be lodged on or before the following day unless the Minister has, by giving written notice to the person, approved another day for making the election— (i) for an election for the first month of the current return period—the last business day of the second month of the return period; (ii) for an election for the second month of the current return period—the last business day of the third month of the return period. (5) If the person makes an election under subsection (3) for the first month of the current return period, the amount payable for that month is a third of the amount mentioned in subsection (4)(b) for the election. (6) If the person makes an election under subsection (3) for the second month of the current return period, the amount payable for that month is a third of the amount mentioned in subsection (4)(b) for the election.

1 Definitions for pt 1 In this part— average market price, for a prescribed mineral, means the average for a return period of the following price, converted to Australian dollars at the hedge settlement rate for each day of the return period— (a) for cobalt, copper, lead, nickel or zinc—the spot price quoted on the London Metal Exchange; (b) for gold—the p.m. fix price quoted on the London Bullion Market; (c) for silver—the fix price quoted on the London Bullion Market. reference price 1, for a prescribed mineral, means— (a) for cobalt—$25 for each pound; or (b) for copper—$3600 for each tonne; or (c) for gold—$600 for each troy ounce; or (d) for lead—$1100 for each tonne; or (e) for nickel—$12500 for each tonne; or (f) for silver—$9 for each troy ounce; or (g) for zinc—$1900 for each tonne. reference price 2, for a prescribed mineral, means— (a) for cobalt—$38 for each pound; or (b) for copper—$9200 for each tonne; or Page 308 Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Schedule 4 (c) for gold—$890 for each troy ounce; or (d) for lead—$2500 for each tonne; or (e) for nickel—$38100 for each tonne; or (f) for silver—$16.50 for each troy ounce; or (g) for zinc—$4400 for each tonne.

2 Royalty rate for prescribed mineral (1) The royalty rate for a prescribed mineral is— (a) if the average market price for the mineral is equal to or lower than reference price 1 for the mineral—2.5% of the value of the prescribed mineral; or (b) if the average market price for the mineral is higher than reference price 1 for the mineral but lower than reference price 2 for the mineral—the prescribed percentage of the value of the prescribed mineral; or (c) if the average market price for the mineral is equal to or higher than reference price 2 for the mineral—5% of the value of the prescribed mineral. (2) In this section— prescribed percentage means the amount, expressed as a percentage, rounded down to nearest increment of 0.02%, worked out by using the following formula—  PD  PP = 2.5% +  ------------  2.5%  RFD  where— PP is the prescribed percentage. PD is the difference between the average market price and reference price 1 for the prescribed mineral. Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Page 309 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Schedule 4 RFD is the difference between reference price 2 and reference price 1 for the prescribed mineral. Example— If, for a quarter, the average market price for copper is $5045 for each tonne of copper, the royalty rate for copper for the quarter must be worked out under subsection (1)(b), given the average market price is higher than reference price 1 for copper ($3600) but lower than reference price 2 for copper ($9200). The royalty rate would be 3.14%, being the amount (3.145089%) worked out by using the formula in subsection (2), definition prescribed percentage, rounded down to the nearest increment of 0.02%.

7 Phosphate rock (1) The royalty rate for phosphate rock is the higher of the following— (a) 80 cents for each tonne of phosphate rock; (b) the rate, rounded down to 2 decimal places, for each tonne of phosphate rock worked out using the following formula— G P curr R = $1  ---------  --------------- 32.3 $72.50 where— R is the royalty rate. G is the average P2O5 content of the phosphate rock for the return period. Pcurr is the average price for the return period, converted to Australian dollars at the average hedge settlement rate Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Page 313 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Schedule 4 for the return period, of Moroccan phosphate rock with 32.3% P2O5 content. Editor’s note— The price, in US dollars, of Moroccan phosphate rock with 32.3% P2O5 content is published in the magazine called Fertilizer Week. (2) In this section— average hedge settlement rate, for a return period, means the average, worked out for the return period, of the hedge settlement rates for each day in the return period. Example for subsection (1)— For a quarter— • the average P2O5 content of phosphate rock is 24% • the average price of Moroccan phosphate rock with 32.3% P2O5 content is US$46 • the average hedge settlement rate is 65c. The rate under subsection (1)(b), by applying the formula, is 72.53c. Therefore, the royalty rate is 80c for each tonne of the phosphate rock.

8 Processed oil shale (1) The royalty rate for oil shale that is processed is the lesser of the following— (a) 10% of the value of the oil processed from the oil shale; or (b) the WTI%, rounded to 2 decimal places, of the value of the oil processed from the oil shale. (2) For subsection (1)(b), the WTI% must be worked out using the following formula— CPI BASE 2 WTI% =  ---------------------  WTI  1000 + 0.5  CPI  NOW where— CPIBASE is 110.0. Page 314 Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Schedule 4 CPINOW is the CPI for the calendar quarter for which the royalty for oil shale is being worked out. WTI is the average crude oil price. (3) In this section— average crude oil price means the ‘Crude Oil West Texas—Spot—Last’ price published in the Australian Financial Review— (a) converted to Australian dollars at the hedge settlement rate for each day of trading in the calendar quarter for which the royalty payable for oil shale is being worked out; and (b) averaged over the calendar quarter for which the royalty payable for oil shale is being worked out. CPI means the ‘Consumer Price Index: All Groups Index Numbers—Weighted Average of 8 Capital Cities’ published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Example for subsection (1)— For a calendar quarter— • the CPI is 134.2; and • the WTI is $A30. The WTI%, worked out using the formula in subsection (2), is 1.10%. Therefore, the royalty rate for oil would be 1.10% of the oil’s value.

9 Iron ore (1) The royalty rate for iron ore is— (a) if the average price for each tonne of iron ore is $100 or less—$1.25 for each tonne; or (b) if the average price for each tonne of iron ore is more than $100—the following percentage of the value of the iron ore, whichever is the higher— (i) 1.25%; Reprint 8A effective 1 July 2012 Page 315 Mineral Resources Regulation 2003 Schedule 4 (ii) the amount, expressed as a percentage, worked out using the following formula, rounded down to nearest increment of 0.02%—  A – 100  P = 1.25% +  -----------------------  1.25%  A  where— P is the percentage. A is the average price for each tonne of the iron ore.
