Includes exploration expenditure of $0.4 billion. 2. FY14 guidance of US$16.2 billion excludes deferred stripping to provide a clear indication of investment expenditure for projects and exploration. A change in accounting standards in FY14 will result in an increase in the rate of deferred stripping capitalised rather than expensed, with no impact on cash flow. This change has not been reflected in the FY14 estimate in the above table. Note: Capital and exploration expenditure presented on an accruals basis. Preliminary results, 20 August 2013 Slide 48
