Potential for a large-scale mineralized system. aircore Location is Project The Karlawinda Gold located approximately 65 km south of Newman in the Pilbara Province of Western Australia (Figure 1). The main access route is via the Great Northern Highway and the Weelarrana Station (unsealed) access road and station tracks within Weelarrana Station. The Pilbara-Goldfields Gas Pipeline is located 50km to the west of the main project area. CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 2 Figure (1) – Karlawinda Gold Project Location Plan Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) Tenements The main project area is made up of four granted exploration licences that cover an area of approximately 290km sq. (Figure 2). The tenements cover a large area of the Sylvania Dome, an under- explored Archaean aged outlier on the margin of the Pilbara Craton. The southern part of the project is covered by the Proterozoic Bangemall Basin. Figure (2) – Karlawinda Gold Project Tenement and Geology Plan Previous Work Gold mineralization at the Francopan Prospect was originally discovered by WMC Resources Ltd in 2005. The project was subsequently acquired by Independence Group (IGO) in 2008 resulting in the discovery of the significant Bibra Gold Deposit in 2009. Since the discovery of the Bibra Gold Deposit by IGO approximately $12 million had been spent by IGO on resource evaluation activities (RC and diamond drilling, assays, geotechnical assessments and resource modelling), scoping study activities (Including: metallurgical test work, conceptual mining designs, hydrology, baseline environmental studies, CIL process plant design and power supply), and initial programs of regional exploration (aircore drilling, geochemical surveys and geophysical survey). In addition, the project area has been the subject of Heritage Surveys with a number of Heritage Agreements in place. Bibra Gold Deposit The Bibra Gold Deposit is part of a large-scale Archaean aged gold mineralized system. The resource is hosted within a package of deformed meta-sediments that has developed on at least two parallel, shallow dipping structures; oxide mineralization has developed over the structures from surface to a depth of approximately 60m. The primary mineralization is strata-bound with lineations likely controlling higher- grade shoots. A JORC 2012 inferred resource of 18 million tonnes @ 1.1g/t Au for 650,800oz Au was estimated by IGO and subsequently reviewed by independent consultants. There is a substantial amount of gold mineralization drilled in close proximity to the existing resource that had the potential to be upgraded with a limited amount of infill drilling. Scope exists for major expansions of the resource down plunge and to a lesser extent along strike with additional drilling (Figure 3a, 3b and 3c).

Areas highlighted in the near term to provide have potential significant additions to the resource. The resource drilling is a combination of RC and diamond with a nominal spacing of 100m X 50m. the This diagram highlights to significantly increase the Bibra Resource in the down-plunge position. The focus will be on defining high-grade shoots within the broader mineralized envelope. potential Figure (3c) – Bibra Gold Deposit Interpreted Cross Section (Diagram from IGO 2011 Diggers and Dealers Presentation) Francopan Gold Prospect The Francopan Gold Prospect is located approximately 5km south east of the Bibra Gold Deposit (Figure 4) and demonstrates the potential size of the gold mineralizing system at Karlawinda. The mineralization is covered by the northern margin of the Bangemall Basin. Limited broad spaced drilling beneath the cover sequence has intersected broad zones of mineralization containing narrower higher-grade intervals (Figure 5). Francopan will be targeted to define the size of the mineralized system, determine whether there is a connection with the Bibra Deposit and identify high- grade areas that can be assessed for underground mining opportunities. CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 4 Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) Figure (4) – Karlawinda Gold Project Prospect Location Plan Figure (5) – Francopan Prospect Interpreted Geological Cross Section Regional Exploration Potential The Karlawinda Project remains largely unexplored. Since the discovery of the Bibra Deposit the focus has largely been on detailed assessment of that resource. Regional exploration remains at an early stage and is limited to wide spaced aircore drilling, surface geochemistry and programs of geophysics. Despite the limited nature of the regional exploration a series of priority targets have been identified for immediate follow-up work. Results of over 2g/t Au have been returned from shallow aircore drilling (Figure 4). CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 5 Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) CAPRICORN ACTIVITIES AT KARLAWINDA IN 2016 Following the acquisition of Greenmount in February 2016, Capricorn took control of the Karlawinda Gold Project, and immediately embarked on a strategy to fast-track its development, with the key elements of this program including: Compilation and validation of all drill-hole information into a Datashed database; Establishment of strict QA/QC protocols, planning for, tendering and completion of a 10,000m RC drilling programme designed to extend the 650,800 oz Bibra resource: and The appointment of Mr Neville Bergin as a dedicated Project Manager for a Scoping Study of the Bibra deposit. Significant progress was made on this Scoping Study, building on comprehensive work by previous project owners. The Scoping Study was completed during July 2016. BIBRA RC DRILLING PROGRAMME Extensional RC drilling on a 50 x 50m grid was completed at Bibra at the end of May 2016; in total, 47 holes for a total of 9,642m were completed, with ore-grade intersections reported from all holes. Bibra drill-hole results include: KBRC 299: 18 metres @ 1.10g/t Au from 129m 3 metres @ 6.21g/t Au from 163m (EOH) KBRC 300: 11 metres @ 1.12g/t Au from 152m 2 metres @ 7.45g/t Au from 177m (EOH) KBRC 305: 18 metres @ 1.06g/t Au from 146m KBRC 306: 15 metres @ 1.01g/t Au from 146m KBRC 307: 16 metres @ 1.15g/t Au from 157m KBRC 311: 24 metres @ 1.01g/t Au from 52m KBRC 315: 11 metres @ 1.21g/t Au from 212m KBRC 316: 19 metres @ 1.33g/t Au from 20m KBRC 317: 23 metres @ 1.08g/t Au from 213m KBRC 319: 12 metres @ 1.64g/t Au from 206m KBRC 320: 18 metres @ 1.01g/t Au from 183m KBRC 324: 26 metres @ 1.48g/t Au from 231m; 6 metres @ 2.49g/t Au from 270m KBRC 325: 25 metres @ 1.05g/t Au from 264m; 14 metres @ 1.12g/t Au from 296m KBRC 326: 22 metres @ 1.10g/t Au from 236m KBRC 328: 13 metres @ 1.63g/t Au from 171m KBRC 330: 22 metres @ 1.36g/t Au from 178m; 19m @ 1.33g/t Au from 20m RC Drilling, Bibra, May 2016 CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 6 Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) Figure (6): Plan of completed drilling, Bibra deposit, Karlawinda Gold Project Figure (7a): Bibra Gold Deposit Schematic Cross Section (200200N), 2016 Intersections Labelled CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 7 Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) Figure (7b): Bibra Gold Deposit Schematic Cross Section (200050N), 2016 Intersections Labelled Bibra Resource Update An updated Inferred Resource for the Bibra deposit was estimated, following completion of RC drilling in May 2016. The updated, 914,000 ounce Bibra Inferred Resource, which represents a 40% increase over the previously published (2013) Inferred Resource estimate is based on a Whittle optimised open pit using a gold price of A$1750/ounce. The June 2016 Inferred Resource for the Bibra gold deposit reported 25,500,000 tonnes @ 1.1g/t for 914,000 ounces of contained gold (see Capricorn ASX release dated 4 July 2016). The resource is reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade and is constrained within an optimized open pit shell using a gold price of A$1750/oz. The Bibra JORC-2012 compliant Inferred Resource Estimate as at 30 June 2016, is as follows: TABLE (1): Bibra Gold JORC Open Pit Inferred Resource Estimate Domain Laterite Saprolite Transition Fresh TOTAL Tonnes Grade (g/t Au) 2,100,000 4,300,000 1,500,000 17,600,000 25,500,000 1.3 1.0 1.2 1.1 1.1 Ounces 85,000 142,000 58,000 629,000 914,000 Notes on the Inferred Mineral Resource: 1. Refer to JORC 2012 Table (1) in Appendix 1 of ASX release 4th July 2016 for full details. 2. Discrepancy in summation may occur due to rounding. 3. The mineralisation has been wireframe modelled using a 0.3g/t Au assay cut-off grade. The resource estimate has been reported above a block grade of 0.5g/t Au. 4. The resource has been constrained by a A$1750/ounce conceptual optimal pit shell. 5. Ordinary Kriging was used for grade estimation utilising Surpac software v6.6.2. 6. Grade estimation was constrained to blocks within each of the mineralisation wireframes. As at 30 June 2014, the Bibra JORC-2012 compliant Inferred Resource Estimate, reported by Independence Group NL (see Capricorn ASX release dated 6 November 2015), was as follows: Table (2): Mineral Resource - Reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut off grade Classification Tonnes (Mt) Au g/t Contained Au (Oz) Measured Indicated Inferred TOTAL -- -- 18 18 -- -- 1.1 1.1 -- -- 650,800 650,800 CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 8 Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) Notes on the Inferred Mineral Resource: 1. The Mineral Resource estimate was estimated within a conceptual A$1,600/oz Au pit shell completed in 2012 and for the area of drill coverage at 100m x 50m spacing or less. Contained gold (oz) figures have been rounded to the nearest one hundred ounces. 2. The Mineral Resource has been unchanged since 2013. 3. Mostly RC drilling with 1m cone split samples analysed by 50g fire assay. Diamond drilling has been completed in areas through the resource as a check on the RC and to provide structural information. 4. Mineralisation was wireframed at a cut-off grade of 0.3g/t Au and Mineral Resources were reported above a cut-off grade of 0.5g/t Au. 5. Block modeling used ordinary kriging grade interpolation methods for composites that were top-cut to 10g/t Au in the supergene zone and 16g/t Au for the remaining mineralization. Top cuts are not severe, trimming no greater than 0.5% of the samples. 6. There are no Ore Reserves for Karlawinda. Key points identified, from work to update the resource include: The gold content of the Inferred Resource has increased by 263,000oz (or 40%) from the previous estimation. When directly compared with the previous Inferred Resource of 650,000oz, reported at a A$1600/oz gold price, the resource increased by approximately 154,000oz. An additional 109,000oz came from outside the A$1600/oz pit shell and is a product of the higher gold price environment expanding the optimised pit shell. The laterite, saprolite and transition zones increased to a total of 285,000oz. This is an increase of 45,000oz in a near-surface position. The modelled mineralized zones that form the basis of the resource show good continuity and are based on data from 43 diamond holes (5,373m) and 313 Reverse Circulation holes (52,202m). This includes the 47-hole (9,642m) program completed by Capricorn earlier in the year. Drill spacing is now on a 50m x 50m spacing, or closer. Figure (8): Bibra Gold Deposit – Resource Block Model (Blue: $A1750 optimal pit shell, Brown: Laterite resource, Yellow: Saprolite and Fresh resource) Near-Bibra Exploration Targets A significant program of up to 60,000m of in-fill drilling to upgrade the Bibra resource to Indicated status to underpin a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) was announced. This program will also target potential extensions of the deposit which were identified in the April/May 2016 drill program. The identification of mineralisation in shallow, wide-spaced drilling close to Bibra suggests the opportunity to discover further gold deposits. Some of these targets are shown in Figure 9. CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 9 Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) Bibra Mining Lease Application Figure (9): KARLAWINDA GOLD TARGETS A Mining Lease application for the Bibra deposit was submitted during the June 2016 quarter, and positive discussions held with the registered Native Title party, the Nyiyaparli people. Bibra Scoping Study activities Various Scoping Study activities were progressed by external consultants, including the following: Open pit optimisations by Cube Consulting to determine the updated Inferred Resource; CIL and Gravity Plant designs by Mintrex; Groundwater targeting by Groundwater Resource Management; Environmental (flora) surveying by 360 Environmental; Metallurgical testwork review and planning by Minelogix; Comminution (crushing/grinding) testwork by Orway Mineral Consultants.

CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 11 Operating and Financial Review (Cont’d) FINANCIAL REVIEW Business Strategy Capricorn Metals is a mineral exploration company with granted tenements located in Western Australia and south-west Madagascar. The Company’s strategy is to take the Bibra Gold Deposit at Karlawinda through a definitive feasibility study to project funding and development. The immediate strategy to Madagascar is to divest sufficient assets that is becomes self-funding. Financial Position The consolidated loss for the year was $3,700,868 (2015: $602,532). Inflows which helped reduce the size of the deficit, were the receipt of $305,960 from the sale of a potential future royalty and proceeds of $200,771 from the sale of shares in Energizer Resources Inc (“EGZ”). During the year, Madagascan operations required parent company funding of $0.3 million, representing a shortfall in self-funding strategy (2015 requirement: $0.3 million). The cash balance of the Group at 30 June 2016 was $11.76 million. Corporate Transactions Energizer Resources Inc (EGZ): Shares During the year, Capricorn sold 2,263,000 EGZ shares to raise $200,771. The Company held 1,237,000 EGZ shares at 30 June 2016. Potential Royalty On 29 April 2016, Capricorn sold the Energizer 1.5% Net Smelter Return royalty to a third party for upfront consideration of CAD $300,000, with an additional CAD $1,000,000 due from the third party, in the event that EGZ commences commercial production. Greenmount Resources Pty Ltd: On 3 February 2016, Capricorn completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Greenmount Resources Pty Ltd by the issue of 171,636,476 fully paid ordinary shares. The acquisition of Greenmount Resources, included the following assets and liabilities: - The Karlawinda Gold Project, located 65km south-east of Newman in Western Australia. The Karlawinda Gold Project contains a JORC 2012 Inferred Resource at: 18mt @ 1.1g/t Au for 650,800oz Au (COG 0.5g/t). - Cash of $88,225. - A liability of $1,500,000 to be paid for the acquisition of the Karlawinda Gold Project by Greenmount Resources, due and paid August 2016. A liability of $135,540 payable for stamp duty on the transfer of the tenements which form the Karlawinda Gold Project, paid May 2016. - - Minimum tenement expenditure commitments associated with the Karlawinda Gold Project of $255,000. Future Prospects The group’s cash balance at 30 June 2016 will be sufficient to see the group through the planned activities in relation to the feasibility study at Karlawinda during the 2016-17 year.

CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 28 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 29 September 2016 by the Directors of the Company. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements of Capricorn Metals Ltd as at the year ended 30 June 2016 comprises the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’ or ‘Consolidated Entity’). Capricorn Metals Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Basis of Preparation: Reporting Basis and Conventions Except for the cash flow information the financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. Change in accounting policy: The Group has changed its accounting policy for land & buildings from a cost model to a revaluation model in accordance with paragraph 31 of AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. The entire class of property, plant and equipment to which land and buildings belong has been revalued. The carrying amount of land and buildings has been increased as a result of the revaluation and the increase has been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively. The directors have determined that the change results in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information about the effects of transactions, other events or conditions for its property, plant and equipment on the entity’s financial position, financial performance or cash flows. Accounting Policies: (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity and Entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Consolidated Entity (its subsidiaries). The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in note 26. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the group. Unrealised gains or transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. When the group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had CAPRICORN METALS LTD ACN 121 700 105 29 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. Non-controlling interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report, to the extent that they are considered material. (b) Income Tax The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non- assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value, less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property: Land and Buildings are measured using a revaluation model in accordance with paragraph 31 of AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. The entire class of property, plant and equipment to which land and buildings belong is subject to review and revalued on the basis of independent valuations. Any revaluation adjustment to the carrying amount of land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve. Plant and equipment: Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation: The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised lease assets, is depreciated on a reducing balance commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Land and Buildings Plant and Equipment Computers Motor vehicles Field equipment Depreciation Rate 1% 7.5% - 50% 20% 20% 40% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of the reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 30 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (d) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is either written off as incurred or accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Tenement acquisition costs are initially capitalised. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area, sale of the respective areas of interest or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage, which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Immediate restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure. Exploration activities resulting in future obligations in respect of restoration costs result in a provision to be made by capitalising the estimated costs, on a discounted cash basis, of restoration and depreciating over the useful life of the asset. The unwinding of the effect of the discounting on the provision is recorded as a finance cost on the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (e) Financial Instruments Recognition and measurement: Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below. Loans and receivables: Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Financial liabilities: Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation. Fair value: Fair value is determined based on current bid process for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment: At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (f) Impairment of Debtors Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 31 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short‐term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (g) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (h) Interests in Joint Ventures The Groups interests in the joint venture entity is recorded using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. Details of the Groups interest is provided in Note 10. (i) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances Functional and presentation currency: The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. Transaction and balances: Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Group companies: The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency, are translated as follows: - - - Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period, when the average rate approximates the rate at the date of the transaction; and Retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed of. CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 32 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (j) Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefits: Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and annual leave entitlements. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and annual leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position. Other long-term employee benefits: Provision is made for employees’ long service leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any re-measurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur. The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions. Defined contribution superannuation benefits: All employees of the Group, located in Australia receive defined contribution superannuation entitlements, for which the Group pays the fixed superannuation guarantee contribution (currently 9.50% of the employee’s average ordinary salary) to the employee’s superannuation fund of choice. All contributions in respect of employees’ defined contribution entitlements are recognised as an expense when they become payable. The Group’s obligation with respect to employees’ defined contribution entitlements is limited to its obligation for any unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions at the end of the reporting period. All obligations for unpaid superannuation guarantee contributions are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled and are presented as current liabilities in the Group’s statement of financial position. Equity-settled compensation: Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. (k) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. (l) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 33 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (m) Revenue and Other Income Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. Revenue from Royalties are recognised upon delivery of goods to customers or to the minimum monthly contractual amount. Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the period of the lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic return on the property. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the entity and the revenue can be measured reliably. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (n) Group as a lessor Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. (o) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. 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 in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (p) Contributed Equity Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. (q) Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Key Estimates: Impairment The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Impairment of investments in subsidiaries arises where the carrying value of the asset exceeds the net asset position of the subsidiaries and impairment is recognised to the value of the deficit. Impairment of Intangible assets is recognised upon managements’ best estimate that the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset considering future cash flows and profits arising from the asset. Key Judgements: Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure Tenement acquisition costs are initially capitalised and then amortised with other exploration and evaluation expenditure written off as incurred. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 34 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area, sale of the respective areas of interest or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage, which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. The Directors believe that the capitalised exploration expenditure should not be written off at reporting date as the tenements areas have been reviewed for impairment indicators and Directors believe no indicators of impairment exist. Non-Current Receivables Non-Current Receivables includes the tax (VAT) recoverable from the Madagascan tax authority. The Directors believe the full amount to be non-recoverable at 30 June 2015 and therefore a provision for impairment has been made. Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses are amounts in respect of the Share Sale Agreement with WTR Holdings Pty Ltd (formerly Madagascar Resources NL). The liability is only repayable from 70% of the labradorite royalty cash receipts by MADA-Aust SARL and is split between current and non-current portions. The directors believe the royalty generating operations will continue at a rate which will pay the liability in accordance with the agreement. The current portion of the liability is based on the estimate of the next financial year’s cash receipts with the remaining balance not expected to be settled in the next financial year treated as non-current. (s) Other receivables Other receivables include amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets. Other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(f) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses. (t) Other payables Other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months. (u) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards The Group has adopted all of the new and revised pronouncements which became mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. Standards and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted: Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not yet mandatory for 30 June 2016 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below. AASB/NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (December 2014) and AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018) AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, the accounting requirements for financial liabilities, impairment testing requirements and hedge accounting requirements. The changes made to accounting requirements by these standards include: simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value and an allowance for debt instruments to be carried at fair value through other comprehensive income in certain circumstances simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018) This standard establishes a single, comprehensive framework for revenue recognition, and replaces the previous revenue Standards AASB 118 Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, Interpretation 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, Interpretation 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers and Interpretation 131 Revenue—Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. This standard introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle of the new Standard being for entities to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The company has not yet assessed the impact of this standard. AASB 16 Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019) This standard introduces a single lessee accounting model that requires all leases to be accounted for on balance sheet. A lessee will be required to recognise an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and a liability to make lease payments. Two exemptions are available for leases with a term less than 12 months or if the underlying asset is of low value. The lessor accounting requirements are substantially the same as in AASB 117. Lessors will therefore continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases. This standard will replace AASB 117 Leases, Interpretation 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, Interpretation 115 Operating Leases – Incentives and interpretation 127 Evaluating the substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The company has not yet assessed the impact of this standard. AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016) This standard amends AASB 116 and AASB 138 to establish the principle for the basis of depreciation and amortisation as being the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of an asset and to clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate. The standard also clarifies that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This presumption, however, can be rebutted in certain limited circumstances. This standard is not expected to impact the Group. AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016) CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 36 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) The amendments aim at clarifying IAS 1 to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgement in presenting their financial reports This standard is not expected to impact the Group. AASB 2015-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Scope and Application paragraphs (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2016) This standard inserts scope paragraphs into AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 133 Earnings per Share since they were inadvertently removed from AASB 1057. There is no change to the requirements or the applicability of AASB 8 and AASB 133. This standard is not expected to impact the Group. AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017) This standard amends AASB 112 Income Taxes to clarify how deferred tax assets are accounted for when they relate to debt instruments measured at fair value. This standard is not expected to impact the Group. AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017) This standard amends AASB 107 Cash Flow Statements to require disclosure of information that allows users to understand the changes in liabilities from financing activities. This standard is not expected to impact the Group. The Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above Australian Accounting Standards or Interpretations. Other standards not yet applicable There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

Set out below are details of fair value measurement assessed by the Group. Fair Value Re-Measurement: Land & Buildings At 30 June 2016, the Group’s freehold land & buildings have been stated at their fair value of $4,500,000. Previously, at 30 June 2015 the valuation technique used was cost. Set out below is the movement of the land & buildings carrying value. Carrying value at the beginning of the year Depreciation for the year Revaluation Carrying value at the end of the year 2016 $ 2,347,774 (15,508) 2,167,734 4,500,000 The Board of Directors have determined a fair value of $4,500,000 for the Group’s freehold land and buildings based on the market valuation performed by Messrs Cabinet D’Expertise Razafindratandra in October 2015 of 11,323,422,000 Ariary (AUD $4,899,899). Messrs Cabinet D’Expertise Razafindratandra have appropriate qualifications and recent experience in the fair value measurement of properties in the relevant locations. The fair value of the freehold land was determined based on the market comparable approach that reflects recent transaction prices for similar properties. The value of the land and buildings if carried at cost would be $2,332,266. Details of the Group’s freehold land & buildings and information about the fair value hierarchy as at 30 June 2016 is set out below. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels: - - - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3). 30 June 2016 Land & Buildings 30 June 2015 Land & Buildings Level 1 Level 2 4,500,000 2,347,774 - - Level 3 Fair Value - - 4,500,000 2,347,774 NOTE 11 – INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES The Company had been in various joint venture arrangements with Canadian TSX listed company, Energizer Resources Inc (“EGZ”). At the commencement of the 2016 financial year the only elements of that relationship which remained in effect were: - A payment by EGZ of CAD $1,000,000 upon the commencement of commercial production at the Molo graphite project. - A royalty calculated as 1.5% of Net Smelter Return on all production from Molo. On 29 April 2016, Capricorn sold the royalty to a third party, for upfront cash consideration of CAD $300,000, with an additional CAD $1,000,000 payable by the third party in the event that EGZ commences commercial production at Molo. The potential production payments (CAD $2,000,000) have not been included as contingent assets, as the fair value at the date of this report is nil. The former joint venture tenements remain in the name of Capricorn subsidiaries, pending registration of the transfers which have been lodged with the Madagascan government.

Additionally, an assessment of current contracts, related to the remaining tenement package, which may give rise to future income was undertaken. An impairment expense of $2,322,216 was recorded to reflect the significantly reduced tenement holding and the current value as assessed by the Directors.

CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 48 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 24 – EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE There were no material events arising subsequent to 30 June 2016 to the date of this report which may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations and the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in the future, other than: Non-executive director, Mr G LeClezio exercised 1,000,000 options by the payment of $150,000 to the company. A general meeting of shareholders has been called to ratify the placement of 58,309,125 shares on 7 October 2016, refreshing the Company’s capacity to make a further placement of up to 67,055,493 shares. NOTE 25 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Capital risk management: Management controls the capital of the Group in order to ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. There are no externally imposed capital requirements. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year. (b) Market risk: The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk from the previous year. (c) Foreign currency risk: The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s functional and presentation currency. As a result of subsidiary companies being registered in Madagascar, the Group's statement of financial position can be affected by movements in the AUD$/Ariary exchange rates. The Group do not seek to hedge this exposure. There is no formal foreign currency management policy, however the Group monitors its foreign currency expenditure and foreign subsidiary requirements. The following table shows the foreign currency risk on the financial assets and liabilities of the Groups operations denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operations. 2016 Cash Receivables Payables Statement of Financial Position exposure 2015 Cash Receivables Payables Statement of Financial Position exposure Net Financial Assets/(liabilities) in AUD USD EURO AUD MGA 34,227 11,721,401 52,015 67,217 (12,661) (1,854,356) 9,919,060 88,783 88 - - 88 Total AUD 195 11,755,911 119,232 - - (1,867,017) 195 10,008,126 Net Financial Assets/(liabilities) in AUD USD EURO MGA 22,643 63,835 (108,824) (22,346) AUD 755,311 - (187,204) 568,107 88 - - 88 164 - - 164 Total AUD 778,206 63,835 (296,028) 546,013 CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 49 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 25 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Cont’d) Foreign currency risk sensitivity: Analysis at 30 June 2016, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the value of the Australian Dollar to the Madagascan Ariary, with all other variables remaining constant is as follows: Change in profit: - Improvement in AUD to MGA by 5% - Decline in AUD to MGA by 5% Change in equity: - Improvement in AUD to MGA by 5% - Decline in AUD to MGA by 5% (d) Interest rate risk: 2016 $ 2015 $ (119) 119 119 (119) (113) 113 113 (113) At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments was: Variable rate instruments: - Financial assets Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments: 2016 $ 2015 $ 11,755,911 778,206 A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2015. Variable rate instruments (e) Liquidity risk: 2016 2015 100 bp increase 117,559 100 bp decrease (117,559) 100 bp increase 7,782 100 bp decrease (7,782) Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate facilities are maintained. The following are the contractual maturities of the Group’s financial liabilities: Trade and other payables: - at 30 June 2016 - at 30 June 2015 (f) Credit risk: Carrying Amount $ Contractual Cash Flows $ 6 Months or Less $ 1,867,017 296,026 (1,867,017) (296,026) (1,867,017) (296,028) Credit risk is managed to ensure that customers are of sound credit worthiness and monitoring is used to recover aged debts and assess receivables for impairment. Credit terms are generally 30 days from the invoice date. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single party with the exception of the TVA receivable from the Madagascan government relating to taxes paid on the Business Sale Agreement and Long Term Lease Agreement. These taxes are recoverable long term in accordance with existing Madagascan taxation law. The Group has assessed the non-current TVA receivable as non- recoverable, and has recorded a provision for impairment of the full amount. Risk is also minimized by investing surplus funds in financial institutions with a high credit rating.

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels: - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3). 30 June 2016 Financial assets: Available-for-sale financial assets: - listed investments - unlisted warrants 30 June 2015 Financial assets: Available-for-sale financial assets: - listed investments - unlisted warrants Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 83,369 - 83,369 - 92,260 92,260 402,937 - 402,937 - 241,885 241,885 - - - - - - 83,369 92,260 175,629 402,937 241,885 644,822 Included within Level 1 of the hierarchy are the Energizer Resources Inc shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The fair values of these financial assets have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period, excluding transaction costs. In determining the fair value of unlisted investments included in Level 2 of the hierarchy, which include unlisted warrants held in Energizer Resources Inc, the Black Scholes option pricing model has been used to calculate a fair value based on the income approach valuation and inputs as set out in Note 3. No transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy occurred during the current or previous reporting period. The directors consider that the carrying value of all financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair value.

The group is managed primarily on the basis of geographical location as the Group’s operations inherently have different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis. Reportable segments are therefore disclosed as geographical segments being Australia, Madagascar and Mauritius. Basis for accounting for purpose of reporting by operating segments: Accounting policies adopted: Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group outlined in Note 1. Intersegmental transactions: Intersegment loans are recognised at the consideration received net of transaction costs. Intersegment loans are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. 2016 Revenue Revenue Other income Total segment revenue Australia Madagascar Mauritius Elimination Consolidated Entity - 351,819 351,819 249,099 100,719 348,818 - - - - - - 248,099 452,538 700,637 Result Segment Result Profit/(Loss) before Income tax (2,936,913) (2,936,913) (785,522) (781,435) (29,192) (29,192) 50,759 50,759 (3,700,868) (3,696,781) Assets Segment Assets Segment Liabilities 26,137,230 (2,239,568) 2,673,365 (70,105) Other Acquisition of non-current assets Depreciation 45,858 2,609 5,543 60,064 - - - - (3,330,225) 39,842 25,480,370 (2,269,831) - - 51,401 62,673 2015 Revenue Revenue Other income Total segment revenue Australia Madagascar Mauritius Elimination Consolidated Entity 500,622 500,622 930,919 930,919 - - 498,560 836,082 1,334,642 - - Result Segment Result Profit/(Loss) before Income tax 118,306 118,306 (504,414) (498,957) (4,781) (4,781) (211,643) (211,643) (602,532) (597,075) Assets Segment Assets Segment Liabilities 8,483,482 (609,778) 2,732,371 (125,715) Other Acquisition of non-current assets Depreciation - - 11,300 61,706 - - - - CAPRICORN METALS LTD ABN 84 121 700 105 (3,648,332) - 7,567,521 (735,493) - - 11,300 61,706 52 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Cont’d) For the year ended 30 June 2016 NOTE 27 – RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES (a) Key Management Personnel: Mr G LeClezio – Non-Executive Chairman Mr P Thompson – Managing Director – Appointed 3 February 2016 Mr P Langworthy – Non-Executive Director Mr H Hellewell – Non-Executive Director – Appointed 3 February 2016 Dr P Woods – Non-Executive Director – Resigned 3 February 2016 Mr G Boden – Non-Executive Director – Resigned 3 February 2016 Mr J Marquetoux – CFO & Gerant (Madagascar) Mr G Boden – Joint Company Secretary Ms N Forde – Joint Company Secretary Key Management Personnel Remuneration: Key management personnel remuneration has been included in the Remuneration Report section of the Directors Report.
