CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

Dear Shareholders, 

This is my sixth Chairman’s Report since being re-appointed Chairman in 2011. 

In  the  period  since,  sentiment  towards  the  resources  industry  overall  and  Anglo  Australian  specifically  has  steadily 
improved, leading me to state in my 2016 Chairman’s Report that, as far as our company was concerned, “…I sensed 
cause for guarded optimism”. 

Against this background, I am pleased to suggest that I believe there is cause for shareholders of Anglo Australian to 
now be genuinely excited. 

In August 2016, at our 100%-owned Feysville Gold Project, located as it is just 14 km to the south of and along strike 
from the Super Pit, a 70+ million-ounce gold mine, a ground magnetic survey lead to us identifying the prominent ten 
(or so) km long “Ethereal Shear Zone”. 

Three  aircore  drilling  campaigns  during  calendar  2017  primarily  focussed  on  the  southern  end  of  the  Shear 
subsequently lead to us identifying the +1.6 km long “Think Big” prospect. 

This, together with other prospects identified so far at Feysville including Rogan Josh, Dalray, Ethereal and Kamperman, 
provides  us with  a  host  of attractive  targets  warranting  further  investigation  in what  we  consider  is an exploration 
project of world class. 

As I write, we have recently completed a reverse-circulation drilling campaign at Feysville encompassing 25 holes with 
the focus on Think Big. Results are awaited. 

Later this year, it is our intention to target deep mineralisation at Feysville by way of diamond drilling with funding 
assistance to the amount of $100,000 provided by the Department of Mines and Petroleum, Western Australia under 
an exploration incentive scheme. 

In  our  100%-owned  Koongie  Park  Project  in  northern  Western  Australia,  encompassing  both  gold  and  base  metals 
targets, we also have what we believe to be a very exciting opportunity.  

As  far  as  gold  targets  are  concerned,  we  note  that  our  nearest  neighbour  at  Koongie  Park,  the  ASX-listed  Pantoro 
Limited (market capitalisation of approximately $185 million), is building an excellent record of discovery as it pursues 
targets along the very same geological structures that intersect our much more substantial ground position. 

Moreover, with the price of both copper and zinc having increased significantly during the year, there is caused to 
believe that our base metals resources at Koongie Park are such as to be capable of monetisation, one way or the 
another, in the near term. 

During the year, an aggregate of approximately $730,000 was raised through the issue of new shares to sophisticated 
investors. Shares were also issued during the year as payment (or part payment) for drilling and other services, and 
shares and options were issued in satisfaction of all Director’s fees. 

A further capital raising since the end of the financial year of approximately $800,000 sees the company with the most 
funds  at  its  disposal  since  my  re-appointment  as  Chairman  and  leaves  us  well-funded  to  undertake  considerable 
exploration activities moving forward. 

I take this opportunity to sincerely thank shareholders for their loyal support, noting that a number of shareholders 
have been with us for many years.  

I  also  thank  my  fellow  directors  and  all  our  consultants  for  their  wonderful  efforts.  Like  me,  they  believe  we  are 
potentially building Anglo Australian to be something special. 

Yours sincerely 

John Jones 
Executive Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

FEYSVILLE GOLD PROJECT 
Anglo Australian - 100% interest, including options over tenements 

The Feysville Project is in Australia’s premier gold belt, just 14km south of the giant Golden Mile deposit 
(70Moz) at Kalgoorlie. The belt extends for some 100km along a NNW strike, and takes in major gold deposits at 
New Celebration (3Moz), some 10km south of Feysville, and the large St Ives field (+15Moz) 30-60km to the 
south. Numerous other economic gold deposits have also been discovered.  

4 

 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Gold deposits are contained within a major structural corridor centred on the Boulder Lefroy fault, which controls 
regional uplift and folding of a lower sequence of mafic-ultramafic rocks (purple and green) surrounded by an 
upper sequence of volcano-sediments (blue and yellow). Feysville contains the lower mafic-ultramafic sequence 
of rocks in the core of the project area, with the Boulder Lefroy fault interpreted to pass along the western flank 
of the project. Another major structure parallel to the Boulder Lefroy fault passes through the eastern side of the 
project for some 10km, and hosts Feysville’s Rogan Josh and Dalray prospects.  

In late 2016, a ground magnetic survey identified a new shear zone of more than 7km in length, referred to as 
the Ethereal Shear Zone, which hosts a number of targets of interest. 

During the course of 2017, the company conducted three aircore drilling campaigns at Feysville with the primary 
focus being targets along the Ethereal Shear Zone. 

Towards the southern end of the zone, the company has identified a coherent +1.6 km long anomalous +100 ppb 
gold trend at the new “Think Big” prospect (refer yellow outline in map below). The trend encompasses a higher 
grade +1 g/t Au core that runs for approximately 200 metres along strike, with maximum results of up to 3.57 g/t 
Au (red outline). 

A geologic map of the Think Big prospect is set out below.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

A reverse circulation drilling program to evaluate bedrock mineralisation at Think Big and other targets was 
undertaken during the third quarter of 2017 with results expected shortly.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

KOONGIE PARK GOLD AND BASE METALS PROJECT 
Anglo Australian - 100% interest 

Anglo Australian holds a portfolio of tenements prospective for gold and base metals approximately 20km to the 
south west of Halls Creek in the Eastern Kimberley region of Western Australia. 

The company has a substantial tenement position:  

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Koongie Park Gold 

Various tenements held by Anglo Australian are adjacent to the Nicholsons Gold Project owned by the ASX-listed 
Pantoro Limited (refer blue tenement outline in map above), which is currently producing gold at a rate in the 
order of 40,000 ounces per annum, though the company has plans to increase production to 80,000 ounces or 
more through further expansion. 

Located as they are close to the Pantoro operation, Anglo Australian’s leases are strategically located. 

Ore  is  currently  sourced  from  the  Nicolsons  Mine,  where  a  recent  resource  of  720,000  tonnes  at  7.41  g/t 
containing 172,000 ounces of gold was reported. 

The  NNE-SSW  trending  Nicolsons  Shear  Zone  on  which  the  Nicolsons  Mine  is  situated  also  hosts  other  gold 
deposits held by Pantoro including Rowdies, Wagtail North and Wagtail South. 

The Nicolsons Gold Project illustrates that mineralization is structurally controlled within a 400-metre-wide NNE 
trending  strike-slip  shear  zone  adjacent  to  the  northwest  margin  of  the  Lodestone  Monzogranite.  Host  rocks 
comprise folded and metamorphosed turbiditic greywackes, felsic volcaniclastics, mafic volcanic and laminated 
siltstone and mudstone of the Koongie Park Formation. Mineralisation is strongly associated with discontinuous 
quartz veining and iron-silica-potassium alteration. 

The company’s ground position includes approximately 14km of the Nicolsons Shear Zone to the north of ground 
held by Pantoro, which is yet to be drill tested. 

Anglo  Australian  has  identified  a  parallel  shear  zone  to  the  east  of  the  Nicolsons  Shear  Zone,  known  as  the 
Nicolsons East Shear Zone. Approximately 30km of Nicolsons East Shear Zone is within the company’s ground 
position. 

9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Limited ground  work  has already  identified a number of highly attractive targets,  including the Nicolsons East 
Prospect which outcrops over approximately a two-kilometre length and where a rock chip assay of 15.67 g/t Au 
has previously been recorded. 

Koongie Park Base Metals 

 Anglo Australian’s tenements at Koongie Park encompass more than 40kms of the Koongie Park Formation, 
which is prospective for VMS-style base metal deposits. 

Some 245 RC and diamond drill holes encompassing 50,0417m have been drilled on the project by Anglo 
Australian. This effort focused on resource, metallurgical and Geotech drilling at two of the prospects, Sandiego 
and Onedin, with mineralisation seeming to have accumulated in fold hinges. 

A cross section through Sandiego is set out as follows:

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

A summary of resources at Sandiego is set out in the following table: 

Sandiego Deposit – Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources 

Supergene Copper:    370,000 tonnes @ 4.0 % Cu, 2.7% Zn, 48g/t Ag and 0.29g/t Au 

Copper Zone:  1,140,000 tonnes @ 2.8% Cu, 1.5% Zn, 12g/t Ag and 0.43g/t Au 

Zinc Zone: 

1,220,000 tonnes @ 0.2 % Cu, 7.0% Zn, 26g/t Ag and 0.13g/t Au 

Total Metal: 
(ASX Release 13.06.13) 

50,000 tonnes copper, 115,000 tonnes zinc, 2 million ounces of silver & 26,000 ounces of gold. 

A cross section through Onedin is set out as follows: 

11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

A summary of resources at Onedin is set out in the following table: 

Onedin Deposit – Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources 

Zinc Zone: 1,980,000 tonnes @ 6.25% Zn, 0.47% Cu, 32g/t Ag and 0.3g/t Au  

Copper Zone: 2,500,000 tonnes @ 1.1% Cu, 0.8% Zn, 21g/t Ag and 0.3g/t Au  

Total Metal: 36,000 tonnes copper & 140,000 tonnes zinc metal  
(ASX Release 13.06.13) 

The Sandiego and Onedin mineralized zones represent fold hinges 

Distribution of metal in rock strongly suggests that the metal has been remobilized (which explains the Sandiego 
and Onedin accumulations) 

Within the Koongie Park project area, airborne magnetics has identified a number of other potential hinge 
structures that are yet to be drill-tested.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

MANDILLA GOLD PROJECT  
Anglo Australian - 100% interest 

Anglo Australian’s Mandilla Gold Project is located approximately 70km south of Kalgoorlie and 20km south east 
of Kambalda. 

Anglo Australian’s tenement holdings comprise two mining leases and an exploration lease. 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Geology in the project area consists of a sequence of mafic and ultramafic rocks in contact with felsic volcaniclastic 
and  sedimentary  rocks  of  the  Mandilla  Formation.  The  sedimentary  sequence  is  intruded  by  the  Emu  Rocks 
Granite. The western contact of the granite is faulted by an interpreted southern extension of a splay fault of the 
Zuleika Shear Zone, which hosts +1 million ounce deposits at Raleigh and Mt Marion. 

Over the period 2006 to 2007, Anglo Australian achieved production of approximately 23,000 ounces of gold 
from an open-cut palaeochannel. 

At Mandilla East, the Company has identified a bed-rock gold Inferred Resource of 357,000 tonnes at 3.3 g/t Au 
for approximately 38,000 contained ounces (ASX 13/06/13). 
Along strike and down dip from Mandilla East, a number of gold intersections in rotary air blast (RAB) and aircore 
(AC) drill holes previously completed by Anglo Australian contain anomalous gold zones, the most notable being 
2  metres  at  6.21  g/t  Au.  Three  drill  target  areas  south  east  from  Mandilla  East  Gold  resource  require  further 
evaluation. All these targets lie on or proximal to parallel North-West trending regional structures near or on the 
contact between felsic volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks and demagnetised granitoid rocks. 

At West Mandilla, a target area is defined by a 700-metre-long soil anomaly defined by a > 20ppb gold contour. 
Within  the  >20  ppb  gold  contour  there  are  four  discrete  bullseye  soil  highs  defined  by  a  >50  ppb  contour.  A 
traverse of RC holes, drilled across the central part of the soil anomaly, did not target the peak soil values and 
intersected only low-grade gold mineralisation with a best value of 2 metres at 1.45 g/t Au from 63 metres depth 
downhole. The zone, open to the northwest and southeast, lies within the northwest-southeast striking regional 
fault corridor. 

During the year a reconnaissance aircore drilling program undertaken to cover strike projection of Mandilla East 
mineralization and bedrock gold mineralization delineated in air core and RC drilling to the south east.  

28 holes were drilled for 1,525 meters. 

Results are currently being interpreted. 

LEONORA BASE METALS PROJECT  
Anglo Australian - 100% interest 

Anglo  Australian’s  Leonora  Project  comprises  many  Exploration  Licenses  located  approximately  12  km  to  the 
North of the township of Leonora. 

The Project covering 12 kms of strike strategically located only 32 kms to the south of, and along strike from, 
Independence Group Limited’s Teutonic Bore – Jaguar – Bentley mineralized VMS corridor. 

These deposits, discovered by drill testing bedrock electromagnetic conductors, occur near the boundary between 
mafic and felsic units. 

Anglo  Australian’s  project  would  appear  to  host  these  felsic  volcanic  and  sediments  broadly  analogous  to  the 
geology at Jaguar and Bentley. 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Based on interpretation of previous aircore drilling and aeromagnetic data, Anglo Australian considers 7km of this 
zone is highly prospective for VMS-style mineralisation. 

As bedrock in the zone is mostly covered by younger transported sediments, the company has identified Moving 
Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey as its primary exploration tool to search for VMS deposits that are generally 
highly conductive and amenable to location by such geophysical methods. 

A  MLEM  survey  completed  in  May  2011  at  the  Leonora  Project  targeting  potential  massive  copper-zinc 
mineralisation discovered a  strong 800m  long bedrock conductor. Sample spoils from previous aircore drilling 
indicated that the conductor was located within favourable stratigraphy proximal to the contact between felsic 
and  mafic  volcanic  rocks.  Preliminary  interpretation  of  the  MLEM  anomaly  by  the  company’s  geophysical 
consultants suggested the source of the conductor (potentially massive or disseminated sulphide) commenced at 
the  base  of  weathering  approximately  100m  below  surface  and  dipped  steeply  south  west.  The  conductor 
presented an exciting and compelling drill target. 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

Two diamond core holes were completed in October 2012 as extensions to the pre-collar holes completed in May. 
Both diamond core holes intersected a sequence of mafic and felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks with minor 
non-volcanic units. Trace to minor amounts of disseminated sulphides consisting of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and 
pyrite were observed in the core and a narrow zones of stringer chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite were intersected 
within  a  foliated  mafic  intrusive  in  hole  LRCD001.  Anomalous  copper  and  zinc  values  supported  by  weakly 
anomalous values in antimony and tin were recorded in several of the intervals selected for assaying. The best 
intersection comprised a 0.65 metre interval at 2.08% copper from 233.25 metres in hole LRCD001. Narrow zones 
of black shale containing variable amounts of pyrite and pyrrhotite and minor amounts of chalcopyrite intersected 
in both holes most likely explain the source of the MLEM conductor. 

A downhole EM survey was subsequently undertaken on each hole to define and confirm the conductive zone. 

Analysis suggests a strong off hole conductor possibly related to massive sulphides has been detected in both 
holes. 

Two  diamond  core  drill  holes  targeted  off-hole  conductors  detected  by  downhole  electromagnetic  (DHEM) 
surveys in two holes drilled in October 2012.  The program was completed under the WA Government co-funded 
Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) in July 2014. 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

The holes were located in the vicinity of the previous holes, but targeted the south plunging, west dipping DHEM 
conductors offset from those holes. As with the previous holes trace to minor amounts of sulphide mineralisation 
in the form of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalertite were intersected with the best results being 1 metre at 
0.3045% Cu from 367.5 metres in hole LDRC003 and 1 metre at 0.2337% Zn from 227.65 metres in hole LRCD004. 
Drill logs and assays have yet to be reviewed with respect to the geophysical target. 

Although assay results are low the extent of disseminated mineralisation (328.75metres to 436.03 metres in hole 
LDRC003 and 221.31 metres to 283.00 metres in hole LDRC004) is encouraging. These widths of disseminated and 
stringer sulphides suggest that the volcano-sedimentary pile within the tenement area is fertile and capable of 
hosting a massive sulphide deposit. 

Drill logs and assays are being reviewed with respect to the geophysical target to determine optimise targeting 
for further drilling.

based on performance and according to the prevailing industry and market practices. No options 
were granted during the year.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Relationship between Company performance and remuneration 

The objective of the Company’s remuneration structure is to reward and incentivize the directors 
and  executives  to  ensure  alignment  with  the  interests  of  shareholders.  The  remuneration 
structure also seeks to reward directors and executives for their contribution in a manner that is 
appropriate for a company at this stage of its development. As outlined elsewhere in this Report, 
the remuneration structure incorporates fixed component and options.  

The  key  drivers  of  value  for  the  Company:  the  acquisition  and  progression  of  exploration 
properties to the point of commercial development or realization. 

The only relevant financial measure at this point in the Company’s development is share price 
for which history is presented below:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The Board of Directors of Anglo Australian Resources NL is responsible for the corporate governance of 
the consolidated entity.  The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Anglo Australian 
Resources  NL  on  behalf  of  the  shareholders  by  whom  they  are  elected  and  to  whom  they  are 
accountable. 

Anglo  Australian  Resources  NL’s  corporate  governance  practices  were  in  place  throughout  the  year 
ended  30  June  2017  and  were  compliant  with  the  ASX  Governing  Council’s  best  practice 
recommendations, unless otherwise stated.

In fulfilling its obligations and responsibilities to its various stakeholders, the Board of directors of the 
Company advocates the adoption of and adherence to a framework of rules, relationships, systems and 
processes within and by which authority is exercised and controlled within the corporation – this is what 
is  meant  in  this  manual  when  reference  is  made  to  corporate  governance.  This  manual  outlines  the 
Company’s  principal  corporate  governance  procedures.  The  Board  supports  a  system  of  corporate 
governance to ensure that the management of the Company is conducted in a manner which is directed 
at achieving the Company’s objectives in a proper and ethical manner. 

Except to the extent indicated herein, the Company has resolved that for so long as it is admitted to the 
official lists of the ASX it shall abide by the ASX Recommendations.  

Due to the exigencies and vagaries of commercial life and changing circumstances, there will, no doubt, 
be occasions when, especially because of the size of the Company and the composition of its Board, that 
it can be expected to depart from the policies and charters which it has adopted. These policies have 
been adopted on the basis that, in the circumstances of the Company, they reflect what is considered 
to reflect a reasonable aspiration. It is not expected that these guidelines will be slavishly adhered to. 
Their  object  is  to  focus  attention  upon  the  issues  they  address  and  provoke  thought  about  and 
awareness of those issues and the pitfalls that one could otherwise fall into inadvertently. The important 
thing is to develop a culture conducive only to good and appropriate conduct and practices.  

Honesty and integrity must be the overriding and guiding principle in all things- substance must prevail 
over  form  and  lip  service.  Adhering  to  the  following  policies  is  a  condition  of  each  contract  of 
employment or service.  

The  Board  encourages  all  key  management  personnel,  other  employees,  contractors  and  other 
stakeholders to monitor compliance with this Corporate Governance manual and periodically, by liaising 
with the Board, management and staff; especially in relation to observable departures from the intent 
of hereof and with and any ideas or suggestions for improvement.

A listed entity should disclose: 
(a) 
(b) 

the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management; and 
those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to 
management. 

A listed entity should: 
(a)  undertake appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward 

to security holders a candidate for election, as a director; and 

(b)  provide security holders with all material information in its possession relevant 

to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

Information about the respective roles and responsibilities of our Board and 
management (including those matters expressly reserved to the Board and 
those delegated to management) is found under the Board Charter. 

The appointment of directors is undertaken under by the whole Board 
The Board recognises the benefits arising from diversity and aims to promote 
an environment conducive to the appointment of well qualified Board candidates 
so that there is appropriate diversity to maximise the achievement of corporate 
goals. 

As required under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, election or 
re-election of directors is a resolution put to members at each Annual General 
Meeting. The notice of meeting contains all material information relevant to a 
decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

A listed entity should have a written agreement with each director and senior 
executive setting out the terms of their appointment. 

The Company does not have any senior executives and it does not have 

agreements with each director. 

The company secretary of a listed entity should be accountable directly to the 
board, through the chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the 
board. 

The company secretary reports directly to the Board through the Chairman and 
is accessible to all directors. The function performed by the company 
secretary is noted in the letter of appointment of the company secretary 

A listed entity should: 
(a)  have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the board or a relevant 
committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender 
diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in 
achieving them; 

(b)  disclose that policy or a summary of it; and 
(c) 

disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for 
achieving gender diversity set by the board or a relevant committee of the board 
in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards 
achieving them and either: 
(1) the respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior 

executive positions and across the whole organisation (including how the 
entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or 

(2) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality 

Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in and 
published under that Act. 

The Company has a Diversity policy which can be found on its website under 
the Corporate Governance section. The Company’s Diversity policy does not 
include requirements for the board to set measurable objectives for achieving 
gender diversity and given the size and nature of the Company at this stage, 
the Board considers this course of action reasonable.  
The Company recognises that a diverse and talented workforce is a 
competitive advantage and that the Company’s success is the result of the 
quality and skills of our people. Our policy is to recruit and manage based on 
qualification for the position and performance, regardless of gender, age, 
nationality, race, religious beliefs, cultural background, sexuality or physical 
ability. It is essential that the Company employs the appropriate person for 
each job and that each person strives for a high level of performance. 
The Company has not set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity 
during the reporting period of 2016 – 2017. 
There are no women on the Board.

A listed entity should: 
(a)  have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the

A listed entity should: 
(a)  have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of its 

senior executives; and 

(b)  disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance 

evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that 
process. 

Process for Evaluating Board Performance is detailed in the Board Charter. 

Information on Performance Evaluations is included in the remuneration report 
section of the Annual Report. 

The Company does not have any executives and therefore does not have a 
process for evaluating the performance of senior executives. Given the size 
and nature of the Company, the board considers this to be reasonable in the 
circumstances. However, the board will re-evaluate senior executive 
performance evaluation measures should the Company’s circumstances 
change.

A listed entity should disclose: 
(a) 

the names of the directors considered by the board to be independent 
directors; 
if a director has an interest, position, association or relationship of the type 
described in Box 2.3 but the board is of the opinion that it does not

position, association or relationship in question and an explanation of why the 
board is of that opinion; and 
the length of service of each director. 

(b)

The Company considers that Peter Stern and Graeme Smith are independent 

directors. 

John Jones is a substantial shareholder of the Company and therefore non-
independent. 
Although Graeme Smith provides services, as the Principal of Wembley 
Corporate Services, as Company Secretary, the board considers that this does 
not interfere, or might reasonably be seen to interfere, with his capacity to bring 
an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the 
best interests of the entity and its security holders generally. 
John Jones has been a director since 9 Feb 1990. 
Peter Stern has been a director since 28 Nov 2011.

Chairman is the most suitable director to undertake this role. The Company 
does not have a CEO. 

A listed entity should have a program for inducting new directors and provide 
appropriate professional development opportunities for directors to develop and 
maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively.

development opportunities for directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements 

A.C.N. 009 159 077 

1. 

REPORTING ENTITY 
Anglo Australian Resources NL (the “Company”) is a for profit company domiciled in Australia.  The address of 
the Company’s registered office is Ground Floor, 63 Hay Street, Subiaco, Western Australia.  The Company is 
involved in the exploration of mineral tenements. 

2. 

BASIS OF PREPARATION 

(a)  Statement of compliance 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 
and the Corporations Act 2001.  The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

The financial reports were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 September 2017. 

(b)  New and amended standards adopted by the Company 

The Company has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB 
that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. 

The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes 
to the Company’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior 
years.  

 (c)  Basis of measurement 

The financial reports have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for share based payments 
measured at fair value. 

(d)  Functional and presentation currency 

These financial reports are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. 

(e)  Use of estimates and judgements 

The preparation of financial reports in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of 
assets and liabilities, income and expenses.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  on-going  basis.  Revisions  in  accounting 
estimates  are  recognised  in  the  period  in  which  the  estimates  are  revised  and  in  any  future  periods 
affected.  

In  preparing  this  financial  report,  the  significant  judgements  made  by  management  in  applying  the 
Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are as follows. 

(i)  Measurement of Share Based Payments 

From time to time, the Company grants options to key management people in lieu of services received. 
Options  granted  are  measured  using  a  Black  Scholes  model  that  incorporates  various  estimates  and 
assumptions, including estimated future share price volatility. 

(ii) Impairment of exploration and evaluation assets 

The ultimate recoupment of the value of  exploration and  evaluation assets is dependent on successful 
development  and  commercial  exploitation,  or  alternatively,  sale,  of  the  underlying  mineral  exploration 
properties. The Company undertakes at least on an annual basis, a comprehensive review for indicators of 
impairment  of  these  assets.  Where  impairment  indictors  are  noted,  there  is  significant  estimation  and 
judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. 

The key area of estimation and judgement that is considered in this is the Company’s market capitalisation 
compared to its net assets

(iii)   Going concern 

A.C.N. 009 159 077 

A  key  assumption  underlying  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  is  that  the  Company  will 
continue as a going concern.  

A Company is a going concern when it is considered to be able to pay its debts as and when they are 
due, and to continue in operation without any intention or necessity to liquidate or otherwise wind up 
its operations. A significant amount of judgment has been required in assessing whether the entity is a 
going concern as set out in Note 3. 

(iv)   Provision for environmental rehabilitation 

Included in liabilities at the end of each reporting period is an amount that represents an estimate of 
the cost to rehabilitate the land upon which the Company has carried out its exploration for mineral 
resources. Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the costs 
required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. Actual costs incurred in future 
periods to settle these obligations could differ materially from these estimates. Additionally, future 
changes to environmental laws and regulations, life of mine estimates, and discount rates could affect 
the carrying amount of this provision. 

3.  GOING CONCERN 

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal 
business activities and the realisation and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For 
the year ended 30 June 2017 the Company incurred a loss of $517,148 (2016: $393,790). The Company had net 
cash outflows from operations of $230,565 (2016: $238,148), and net cash outflows from investing activities of 
$554,452 (2016: $202,911).  

The Company will require further funding in order to meet day-to-day obligations as they fall due and to progress 
its exploration and evaluation projects as budgeted. The Company has a history of successful capital raisings to 
fund exploration. The Board of Directors is aware, of the Company’s working capital requirements and the need 
to access additional funding. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the 
Company securing further working capital by the issue of additional equity.   

The  Board  of  Directors  have  reviewed  the  business  outlook  and  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  use  of  the  going 
concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Company will achieve the matters set out above. 
Should the Company be unsuccessful in raising equity as required, there would be material uncertainty which 
may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will continue as a going concern and therefore, whether 
it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated 
in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and 
classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary 
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  Property, Plant and Equipment  

(i)  Recognition and measurement 

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
amortisation (see below), and impairment losses (see accounting policy (e)).   

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.  Where 
parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted 
for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

4.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)  

(a)  Property, Plant and Equipment (continued) 

(ii)  Subsequent costs 

The Company recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the 
cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future 
economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably.  The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other costs are 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an expense as 
incurred. 

 (iii)  Depreciation  

With  the  exception  of  mine  property,  depreciation  is  charged  to  the  income  statement  on  a 
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and 
equipment. 

Depreciation  rates  and  methods  and  any  residual  values  are  reviewed  annually  for 
appropriateness.  When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in current and 
future periods only.  Depreciation is charged to the statement of comprehensive income. 

(b)  Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 

Exploration  and  evaluation  costs,  including  the  costs  of  acquiring  licences  and  directors  and,  where 
appropriate,  management’s  time  are  capitalised  as  exploration  and  evaluation  assets  on  an  area  of 
interest basis.  The entity subcontracts equipment on an as required basis and as a result all exploration 
and  evaluation  costs  incurred  are  of  an  intangible  nature.    Costs  incurred  before  the  Company  has 
obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised as an expense in the income statement. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and 
either: 

the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation 

(i) 
of the area of interest; or 

(ii) 
activities in interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable 
assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable  reserves  and  active  and 
significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. 

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine 
technical feasibility and commercial viability, or (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying 
amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see impairment accounting policy (e)).  For the purposes of 
impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which 
the exploration activity relates.  The cash generating unit is never larger than the area of interest. 

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area 
of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest 
are first tested for impairment. 

(c)  Cash and cash equivalent 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, short term bills and call deposits. 

(d)  Other receivables 

   Other receivables are subsequently measured at their amortised cost less impairment losses (see 

accounting policy (e))

4.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(e) 

Impairment 

(i) 

Financial assets 

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more 
events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. 

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the 
difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows 
discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

Individually  significant  financial  assets  are  tested  for  impairment  on  an  individual  basis.    The 
remaining  financial  assets  are  assessed  collectively  in  groups  that  share  similar  credit  risk 
characteristics. 

 All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.   

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring 
after the impairment loss was recognised.  For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the 
reversal is recognised in profit or loss.   

 (ii) 

Non-financial assets 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date 
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.  If any such indication exists then 
the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. 

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit 
exceeds its recoverable amount.  A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group 
that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. 

For  the  purpose  of  impairment  testing,  assets  that  cannot  be  tested  individually  are  grouped 
together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that 
are  largely  independent  of  the  cash  inflows  of  other  assets  or  groups  of  assets  (the  “cash-
generating  unit”).      Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.    Impairment  losses 
recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the 
other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. 

The recoverable amount of deferred exploration and evaluation cost is primarily considered by 
directors with reference to the market of capitalisation of the company. 

In respect of assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting 
date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.  An impairment loss is 
reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.  
An  impairment  loss  is  reversed  only  to  the  extent  that  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  does  not 
exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would  have  been  determined,  net  of  depreciation  or 
amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 

(f) 

Share Capital  

Transaction costs 

Qualifying transaction costs of an equity transaction, which are incremental and directly attributable to 
the issue of ordinary shares, are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income 
tax benefit. 

(g)  Employee Benefits 

The Company does not have any employees and does not therefore provide any employee benefits such 
as Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave Sick Leave or Long Service Leave. 

 (h)    Provisions  

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Company has a present legal or constructive 
obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be 
required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the 
expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value 
of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

4.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

(i) 

Trade and Other Payables 

Trade and other payables are measured at their amortised cost. Trade payables are non-interest 
bearing and are normally settled on 60-day terms. 

(j) 

Finance income 

Finance  income  comprises  interest  income  on  funds  invested.    Interest  income  is  recognised  as  it 
accrues, using the effective interest method. 

(k)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except 
where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO).  In these 
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item 
of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability 
in the balance sheet. 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash 
flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO 
are classified as operating cash flows. 

(l) 

Earnings per Share 

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares.  Basic EPS 
is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 

 (m)  Determination and presentation of operating segments 

For management purposes and for the purposes of reporting to the Board (the Company’s chief decision 
makers), the Company is organised into one operating segment, which involves exploration throughout 
Australia. The Company’s principal activities are interrelated, and the Company has no revenue from 
operations  

 (n)  Borrowings 

Borrowings are measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the 
amortisation process and when the borrowings are derecognised. 

(o)  New standards and Interpretations not yet adopted 

At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below 
were in issue but not yet effective. 

The Company does not anticipate that there will be a material effect on the financial statements from 
the adoption of these standards.

5.  DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES 

A.C.N. 009 159 077 

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for 
both financial and non- financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement 
and /or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about 
the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. 

Other receivables 
The fair value of other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the 
market rate of interest at the reporting date. 

6. 

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

Overview 
The Company have exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: 
• 
• 
• 

liquidity risk 
market risk 
interest rate risk  

This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative 
disclosures are included throughout this financial report. 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management 
framework. Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the company 
through regular reviews of the risks. 

Cash 

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in deposit instruments of major Australian 
banking institutions. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. 
The  Company’s  approach  to  managing  liquidity  is  to  ensure,  as  far  as  possible,  that  it  will  always  have 
sufficient  liquidity  to  meet  its  liabilities  when  due,  under  both  normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without 
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. 

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast 
and actual cash flows. 

Market Risk 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity 
prices and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable 
parameters, while optimising the return. 

Interest rate risk 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on cash balances. 

The Company adopts a policy of placing all of its cash not required for immediate cash flow in its operations 
in a high interest-bearing cash management accounts exposed to variable interest rates. 

Capital Management 

Management  controls  the  capital  of  the  Company  in  order  to  ensure  that  it  can  fund  its  operations  and 
continue as a going concern in conjunction with the continual assessment as to the underlying market value 
of its exploration and development projects. The Company has no external debt other than disclosed in the 
financial statements and there are no externally imposed capital requirements.  

Management  effectively  manages  the  Company’s  capital  by  assessing  its  financial  risks  and  adjusting  its 
capital  structure  in  response  to  changes  in  these  risks  and  in  the  market.  These  responses  include  share 
issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management since the prior year.

The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon successful development 
and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale of the respective areas.  

The Company’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, 
or sites of significance to Aboriginal people.  As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements 
may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation.  At this time, 
it is not possible to determine whether such claims exist or the quantum of such claims, if any.

As at 30 June 2016, directors were owed $80,000 in relation to remuneration (Note 10). On 25 August 2016, 
10.5 million unlisted options were granted to directors in lieu of outstanding directors fees.  The options were 
ascribed a value of $105,000 using a Black-Scholes model. Of this amount, $25,000 relates to remuneration 
incurred in the year to 30 June 2017. The balance of the fair value ($80,000) settles amounts accrued to 30 
June 2016. The inputs to the Black-Scholes valuation were as follows:

The Company had estimated tax losses of $21,173,187 (2016: $20,954,872) at 30 June 2017. The tax losses 
do not expire under current tax legislation.  Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these 
items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the company can 
use the benefits. The potential future income tax benefit will only be obtained if: 

- 

- 

- 

the relevant Company derives future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the 
benefit to be realised; 

the relevant Company complies with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and  

no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the relevant Company in realising the benefit.

The Company has minimum expenditure obligations in pursuance of the terms and conditions of tenement 
licences  in  the  forthcoming  year  of  approximately  $660,944(2016:  $551,740).    The  aforementioned 
expenditure obligations can be subject to variation to a lesser amount as a result of:  reduction in tenement 
areas; relinquishment of tenements; and/or farm out of project areas to third party joint venture partners 
who assume responsibility for the expenditure obligations. These obligations are expected to be fulfilled in 
the normal course of operations of the Company.  If the current status of the tenements is maintained, then 
for one year or later and not more than five years the total obligations are approximately $1,945,268 (2016: 
$2,758,700) and for later than five years the total obligations are Nil (2016: $Nil).

21.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued ) 

A.C.N. 009 159 077 

Ref to Note 11 for information of interest rates relating to borrowings. Trade and other payables are not 
interest bearing. 

Fair values 

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities of the Company at the balance date approximate the 
carrying amounts in the financial statements. 

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments 

A change in interest rates of 1% at the reporting date would not materially affect profit or loss. 

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments 

Interest for the year was $15,431 of which $14,397 and was non-cash, therefore a sensitivity analysis on a 
1% change in interest rates would not materially affect the loss for the year. 

Fair values versus carrying amounts 

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are the same as the carrying value.
