CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Dear Shareholders
In this, my seventh Chairman’s report since being re-appointed as Chairman in 2011, I am delighted to be able to
report to you on the significant progress made by Anglo Australian in 2018.
This time last year, I reported that, through three aircore drilling campaigns at Feysville, we had identified the
+1.6 km long Think Big prospect.
Since that time, five reverse circulation drilling campaigns and one diamond drilling campaign have been
completed at Feysville, with excellent results.
We now know Think Big to be a significant robust mineralised system of some 500 metres in length and typically
100 metres in width characterised by a wide zone of supergene enriched gold mineralisation of typically 3 to 8 g/t
Au at relatively shallow depth - typically around 20 metres - overlaying primary mineralisation of typically 1 to 3
g/t Au down to approximately 40 to 50 metres, though open at depth.
Metallurgical test work has confirmed excellent gold recoveries at Think Big using conventional gravity and
cyanide leaching techniques.
Drilling during the year to the north-west of Think Big along the Ethereal Shear Zone led to the discovery of the
Saintly Prospect which, like Think Big, is characterised by supergene enriched mineralisation at relatively shallow
depth overlaying a think zone of primary mineralisation.
Gold anomalism at Saintly remains open along strike to the north-west for approximately 1.5 kilometres where it
meets the Ethereal Prospect, and to the south-east for a distance of 160 metres.
With Feysville being very much the focus of Anglo Australian’s exploration efforts during the year, relatively less
work was undertaken at the Company’s other projects than is warranted.
At Mandilla South, an aircore campaign was undertaken after year’s end to better define a +1.5 kilometre in strike,
100-metre wide generally, +1 g/t Au target with a view to undertaking a follow-up reverse circulation drilling
campaign. The Company applied for an was awarded a grant for co-funded drilling under the WA Government’s
Exploration Incentive Scheme in the amount of $100,000.
At Koongie Park, a field program was undertaken to evaluate possible structural corridors and interpreted target
areas. An application was lodged for tenement E80/5263 adding to the Company’s already substantial ground
position.
During the year, an aggregate of approximately $3.8 million was raised through the issue of new shares to
sophisticated investors, enabling the aforementioned exploration activity to take place. Shares were also issued,
as well as options, in satisfaction of all Director’s fees.
As at 30 June, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $1.62 million, more than sufficient to undertaken
considerable exploration activities going forward.
I take this opportunity to offer my sincerest thanks to Anglo Australian shareholders for their continued support,
and very much look to bringing you further good news in relation to Feysville and other projects in due course.
Finally, many thanks to my fellow Directors and the Company’s consultants for their outstanding efforts.
Yours sincerely
John L C Jones AM

FEYSVILLE GOLD PROJECT – WA
Anglo Australian - 100% interest (with tenements under purchase option held by Anglo Australian)
The Feysville Gold Project is located in Australia’s premier gold belt, approximately 14 kilometres south of the
giant Golden Mile deposit (70 MOz) at Kalgoorlie. The belt extends for some 100 kilometres along a NNW strike,
and takes in major gold deposits at New Celebration (3 MOz), some 10 kilometres south of Feysville, and the large
St Ives field (+15 MOz) 30 to 60 kilometres to the south. Numerous other economic gold deposits have also been
discovered within the belt.
These features are variously illustrated in Figure 1.
2
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 1 - Feysville Gold Project Location Map
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 7 kilometres in length, referred
to as the Ethereal Shear Zone, which hosts a number of targets of interest.
A map illustrating the location of Think Big and Saintly with respect to the Ethereal Shear Zone, as well as key
drilling information, is set out in Figure 2.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 2 - Map illustrating location of Think Big and Saintly Prospects with
respect to the Ethereal Shear Zone, as well as key drilling information
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.
The company has since undertaken five reverse circulation and two diamond drilling campaigns.
Think Big Prospect
The Think Big Prospect, situated on the Ethereal Shear Zone, was identified in 2017 by way of aircore drilling.
The Prospect, which has now been drilled to date on a 40 x 20 metre grid platform, represents a significant robust
mineralised system of some 500 metres in length and typically 100 metres in width. An aerial photograph
illustrating the diamond drill rig drilling the first hole at Think Big is set out below in Figure 3.

reflects the “swampy” nature of the terrain at Think Big. The hill on the horizon just to the right
of centre is the Super Pit mullock heap, approximately 20 kilometres to the north

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
A map illustrating the Think Big Prospect, identifying drill hole locations and key assay results, is set out in Figure
4. (ASX – 08/11/2017).
Figure 4 - Map of Think Big illustrating drill hole locations and assay results.
Results from the April 2018 RC campaign are shown in yellow with previous results in red
Think Big is characterised by a wide zone of supergene enriched gold mineralisation of typically 3 to 8 g/t Au at
relatively shallow depth - typically around 20 metres.
Anglo Australian considers it likely that shallow high grade gold mineralisation of this style at such shallow depth
would make a compelling target for initial open pit mining.
Supergene mineralisation overlays primary mineralisation of typically 1 to 3 g/t Au down to approximately 40 to
50 metres, though open at depth.
A cross-section through Think Big is shown in Figure 5.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Saintly Prospect
The Saintly Prospect is situated on the Ethereal Shear Zone immediately to the north of the Think Big Prospect.
It was identified in March 2018 by way of a reverse circulation drilling campaign.
With relatively little drilling having been undertaken to take, gold anomalism at Saintly remains open along strike,
to the north-west for approximately 1.5 kilometres where it meets the Ethereal Prospect, and to the south-east
for a distance of 160 metres.
A map illustrating the location of Saintly with respect to the Ethereal Shear Zone and other geological information
is set out as Figure 7.
Figure 7 - Map illustrating location of Think Big, Saintly and Saintly South Prospects with
respect to the Ethereal Shear Zone, as well as key drilling information

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Similar to Think Big, the Saintly Prospects encompasses a relatively high-grade zone of supergene enriched gold
mineralisation that sits atop a thicker lower grade zone of primary mineralisation.
Rogan Josh Prospect
The Rogan Josh Prospect is situated in the northern part of Anglo Australian’s Feysville tenements on the Rogan
Josh – Dalray shear zone.
This shear zone is to the north of the Ethereal Shear Zone in the central part of the company’s tenement position
though merges with it to the south.
Situated at surface, the Prospect has been drilled on a 40 x 20 grid.
Rogan Josh presents as a target of 300,000 to 350,000 tonnes @ 2.0 to 2.5 grams per tonne gold.
KOONGIE PARK GOLD AND BASE METALS PROJECT
Anglo Australian - 100% interest
The Koongie Park Project is located 20 kilometres to the south-west of Halls Creek in the Eastern Kimberley region
of Western Australia – refer Figure 8.
During the year, the company lodged an application for tenement E80/5263, adding to its already substantial
tenement position, illustrated in Figure 9.
Figure 8 - Koongie Park location map

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 9 - Koongie Park tenement map illustrating key features
Koongie Park Gold
Various tenements held by Anglo Australian are adjacent to the Nicolsons 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 55,000 ounces per annum, though the company has plans to increase production to 80,000 ounces or
more through further expansion.
Ore is currently sourced from the Nicolsons Mine, where a recent resource of 964,000 tonnes at 7.1 g/t containing
219,000 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.
Located as they are close to the Pantoro operation, Anglo Australian’s tenements are strategically located.
The company’s ground position includes approximately 15 kilometres of the Nicolsons Shear Zone to the north of
ground held by Pantoro and approximately 15 kilometres to the south.
Anglo Australian has identified a parallel shear zone to the east of the Nicolsons Shear Zone, known as the
Nicolsons East Shear Zone. Approximately 30 kilometres of the Nicolsons East Shear Zone is within the company’s
ground position – refer Figure 10.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 10 - Nicolsons East Gold Prospect
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.
During the year, Anglo Australian recommenced exploration activities at Koongie Park after somewhat of a hiatus.
Geological consultants, Map to Mine Pty Ltd, completed a historical data compilation and review project over
Anglo’s Koongie Park tenements.
A total of 393 historical reports were reviewed, summarised and compiled into a central database.
Additionally, geophysical consultants, Terra Resources, merged open-file aeromagnetic data sets and produce a
series of images over the Koongie Park Project.
The Company undertook a field program comprising geological mapping, rock chip sampling and an evaluation of
the regolith using the new data sets to evaluate the prospective structural corridors and interpreted target areas.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Koongie Park Base Metals
Anglo Australian’s tenements at Koongie Park encompass more than 40 kilometres of the Koongie Park Formation,
which is prospective for VMS-style base metal deposits.
Some 245 RC and diamond drill holes encompassing 50,0417 metres 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.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 12 - Sandiego Cross Section
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:
12
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 13 - Sandiego Cross Section
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.
MANDILLA GOLD PROJECT
Anglo Australian - 100% interest
The Mandilla Project is located approximately 20 kilometres south-west of Kambalda, Western Australia.
At Mandilla, Anglo Australian has previously achieved production of approximately 23,000 ounces of gold from
an open-cut palaeochannel.
At Mandilla East, the Company has previously identified a bedrock Inferred Resource of 357,000 tonnes at 3.3 g/t
Au for approximately 38,000 contained ounces (ASX 13/06/13).
At Mandilla South, along strike and down dip from Mandilla East, gold intersections were recorded in wide spaced
traverses of RC and Aircore drill holes previously completed by Anglo Australian, the most notable being 2 metres
at 6.2 g/t (ASX 30/01/14).
13
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
In a release to the ASX on 23 October 2017, Anglo Australian announced that, following a further aircore drilling
campaign undertaken at Mandilla South, the Company had identified a weathered bedrock target extending along
the NW-SE strike of more than 1.5 km in length, and with a width of typically 100 metres, with gold values
exceeding 1 g/t Au recorded in most of the holes along the trend. The gold values returned indicate a likely
supergene-enriched gold zone at a vertical depth of from 40 to 50 metres.
The strongly gold anomalous trend appears to be related to a shear zone close to the margin of the Emu Rocks
Granite, where the orientation swings around to the more favourable NW around the rigid granite body.
The Mandilla South target, with RC results highlighted in red and aircore results in yellow, is illustrated below in
Figure 14.
Figure 14 - Map illustrating Mandilla South target, drilling results and key geological features
On 19 September 2018, the company commenced a new drilling campaign which is planned to encompass the
drilling of 70 holes along 10 variably spaced lines for an aggregate of approximately 5,000 metres drilled, or an
average of approximately 70 metres per hole.
The holes have been located to infill previous drilling and extend the size of the target.
A parallel structure, interpreted to lie 200 to 400 metres west of the main target, has previously returned
significant gold anomalism and will also be tested on several of the proposed drill traverses.
A map illustrating the Mandilla South target, identifying previous drilling locations and results, and intended new
drilling locations, is set out in Figure 15.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the year, Anglo Australian was granted funding assistance by the Department of Mines and Petroleum,
Western Australia under its Exploration Incentive Scheme Co-funded Exploration Drilling Program for the drilling
of three deep diamond drill holes at Mandilla South in the amount of $100,000.
LEONORA BASE METALS PROJECT
Anglo Australian - 100% interest
Anglo Australian’s Leonora Project comprises Exploration Licenses located approximately 12 kilometres to the
North of the township of Leonora.
The Project covers approximately 12 kilometres of strike strategically located only 32 kilometres to the south of,
and along strike from the 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.
15
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Based on interpretation of previous aircore drilling and aeromagnetic data, Anglo Australian considers 7
kilometres 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 (refer Figure 16) at the Leonora Project targeting potential massive
copper-zinc mineralisation discovered a strong 800 metre 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 100 metres below surface and dipped steeply south west.
The conductor presented an exciting and compelling drill target.
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
Figure 16 - MLEM Survey
16
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
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 2018 and were compliant with the ASX Governing Council’s best practice
recommendations, unless otherwise stated.
Information on Corporate Governance

is
available on
the Company’s website
at
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 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.
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 in the Company’s Charter & Policies

(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.
The appointment of directors is undertaken 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.
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

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 secretary reports directly to the Board through the Chairman and

is noted in the letter of appointment of the company secretary
The Company has a Diversity Policy which is a section of the Charter & Policies
manual. The Diversity Policy does not include requirements for the board to set
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. 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.

through disclosure relating to that meeting.
It
that shareholders receive communications
electronically in the interests of the environment and constraining costs. In an
endeavor to drive this objective, the Company has a policy of providing hard
materials at least cost (which will generally involve a black & white presentation
even where the electronic version is full colour).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
PRINCIPLE 7 – RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK
7.1
The board of a listed entity should:
(a) have a committee or committees to oversee risk, each of which:
(1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors;
and
(2) is chaired by an independent director,
and disclose:
(3) the charter of the committee;
(4) the members of the committee; and
(5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee
met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at
those meetings; or
(b)
if it does not have a risk committee or committees that satisfy (a) above, disclose
that fact and the processes it employs for overseeing the entity’s risk
management framework.
The board or a committee of the board should:
(a)
review the entity’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy itself
that it continues to be sound; and
(b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken
place.
A listed entity should disclose:
(a)
(b)
if it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role it
performs; or
if it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and the processes it employs
for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its risk management
and internal control processes.
A listed entity should disclose whether it has any material exposure to economic,
environmental and social sustainability risks and, if it does, how it manages or intends
to manage those risks.
7.2
7.3
7.4
The Board has not established a Risk Committee; however, it does have a Risk
Management Policy which is a section of the Charter & Policies Manual.
Risk management is specifically discussed at the Company’s board meetings
during the year.
The Board reviews the Company’s risk management framework annually and
this information is disclosed in the Annual Report.
The size and operations of the company do not warrant an internal audit
committee.
The Company’s external auditor advises the Company at each end of year and
half year whether there are any issues with internal control and improvements
which could be undertaken to improve them.
The Company is subject to, and responsible for, existing environmental liabilities
associated with its tenements. The Company will continually monitor its ongoing
environmental obligations and risks, and implement rehabilitation and corrective
actions as appropriate to remain compliant. These risks may be impacted by
change in Government policy.
The Company does not believe it has any significant exposure to economic and
social sustainability risks.
34
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
PRINCIPLE 8 – REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY
8.1
The board of a listed entity should:
(a) have a remuneration committee which:
(1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors;
and
(2) is chaired by an independent director,
and disclose:
(3) the charter of the committee;
(4) the members of the committee; and
(5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee
met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members at
those meetings; or
(b)
if it does not have a remuneration committee, disclose that fact and the
processes it employs for setting the level and composition of remuneration for
directors and senior executives and ensuring that such remuneration is
appropriate and not excessive.
A listed entity should separately disclose its policies and practices regarding the
remuneration of non-executive directors and the remuneration of executive directors
and other senior executives.
A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration scheme should:
(a) have a policy on whether participants are permitted to enter into transactions
(whether through the use of derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk
of participating in the scheme; and
(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it.
8.2
8.3
The Company does not have a Remuneration committee as the Company does
not have any staff.
The Board considers the level and composition of remuneration for directors with
reference to remuneration levels set by its peers in the mining industry.
Non-executive directors are paid amounts equivalent to the remuneration
received by other non-executive directors working in similarly sized exploration
companies.
The Company does not have any staff and hence has no need for a policy on
remuneration of executives at this time.
The Company does not have an equity based remuneration scheme.

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

ANGLO AUSTRALIAN RESOURCES N.L.
Notes to the Financial Statements
2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
(e)
Use of estimates and judgements(continued)
(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 2018 the Company incurred a loss of $920,462 (2017: $517,148). The Company had net
cash outflows from operations of $500,961 (2017: $230,565), and net cash outflows from investing activities of
$1,726,572 (2017: $554,452).
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.
41
ANGLO AUSTRALIAN RESOURCES N.L.
Notes to the Financial Statements
A.C.N. 009 159 077
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))

Notes to the Financial Statements
A.C.N. 009 159 077
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.

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
capital risk
credit 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 risk
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern
so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Company’s activities being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready
access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the
Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the
Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure
appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating
appropriate capital raising as required.

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.

The Company had estimated tax losses of $21,426,314 (2017: $21,173,187) at 30 June 2018. 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 $594,5162017: $660,944). 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 $1,289,089 (2017:

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 $5,491, 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.
