REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for directors and executives of Castillo Copper Limited in
accordance with the requirements of the Corporation Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purpose of this report,
Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for
planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any officer
(whether executive or otherwise) of the Group.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors. The Board
assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by
reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder
benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. The Group does not link the nature and
amount of the emoluments of such officers to the Group’s financial or operational performance. The expected
outcome of this remuneration structure is to retain and motivate Directors.
As part of its Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures, the Board has adopted a formal Remuneration
Committee Charter. Due to the current size of the Group and number of directors, the Board has elected not to create
3

a separate Remuneration Committee but has instead decided to undertake the function of the Committee as a full
Board under the guidance of the formal charter.
The rewards for Directors’ have no set or pre-determined performance conditions or key performance indicators as
part of their remuneration due to the current nature of the business operations. The Board determines appropriate
levels of performance rewards as and when they consider rewards are warranted. The Group has no policy on
executives and directors entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options or shares granted as part of their
remuneration package.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Castillo Copper Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
During the financial year, the principal activity was mineral exploration and examination of new resource
opportunities. The Group currently holds copper projects in Chile and gold projects in Australia.
EMPLOYEES
The Group had no employees at 30 June 2014 (2013:Nil).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the financial period, the principal activity was mineral exploration and examination of new resource
opportunities. The Group currently holds copper projects in Chile and gold projects in Australia
RESGUARDO COPPER PROJECT
The Resguardo project area (1, 40 hectares) is located 5 km north east of Copiap (northern Chile) in the Middle
Tertiary porphyry copper belt, which hosts the large scale El Salvador and Potrerillos copper mines.
Geological mapping and ground magnetics showed that alteration was controlled by a north easterly trending
structural corridor, which is related to regional structural elements. Geochemical sampling showed the presence of
7
Castillo Copper Limited – Directors’ Report
high copper grades (0.45 to 7% Cu) associated with old workings in the east at the abandoned Candil mine and high
gold grades in the western sector (0 to 56 g/t Au), which combined with geological mapping formed the basis for
targeting drillholes .
Two reverse circulation (“RC”) holes were drilled for 514 metres at the Candil mine to test extensions of the
mineralisation below existing workings, based on the concept that the breccia pipe is mineralised at depth. The
principal intercept of drilling results was 10 metres at 1.03% copper in RRC02 from an intercept at 106 metres,
including 2 metres at 2.76% copper from 116 metres.
Consideration of the drill hole data and geological results has led to the interpretation that copper mineralisation is
hosted in a series of mantos (stratabound lenses) which intercept copper-bearing fault structures. The volumetric
estimation of the potential of this mineralisation was considered inadequate for further exploration, and the option
was allowed to lapse.
POSADA COPPER PROJECT
The Posada copper project currently occupies 2,188 hectares of exploration concessions on the northern Chilean
copper-iron belt, and is 60 km south of Copiapo. The copper-gold target is hosted within Mesozoic island arc
volcanics, and comprises a 4 x 1 km geophysical (induced polarisation/low resistivity) anomaly. Known
mineralisation on the property includes small artisanal gold and copper mines.
Three diamond drill holes were completed for 500 metres (total), and successfully tested the geophysical anomaly
targeted, which was shown to be marked by extensive zones of hydrothermal alteration, represented by sericite and
quartz in stockwork, with abundant disseminated magnetite and sulphide mineralisation, principally pyrite. This style
of alteration is consistent with the presence of porphyry copper deposits of Mesozoic age in the Coastal Ranges.
Further drilling is planned with the objective of intercepting significant copper mineralisation.
RIO ROCIN COPPER PROJECT
The Rio Rocin project consists of 2,200 hectares of concessions located approximately 140 km north of Santiago in
the San Felipe Province of the Valparaiso Region, on the same structural trend that hosts giant porphyry copper
mines such as El Teniente (Codelco), Los Bronces (Anglo American), Andina (Codelco) and Los Pelambres
(Antofagasta Minerals).
The project area comprising sectors Los Bayos and El Chilon, covers a significant portion of a northerly trending
quartz-sericite-clay altered, mineralised diorite porphyry known as Andrés-Amos, which intrudes the Upper
Cretaceous-Lower Tertiary and Miocene volcano-sedimentary formations of central Chile.
Los Bayos sector is interpreted to be a leached cap over the copper mineralised Amos porphyry, with El Chilón
connected to the system by a regional north-south trending reverse fault. The principal target for exploration is
supergene copper mineralisation, which may provide a higher grade for development than might occur in the primary
copper mineralisation. It is thought that the supergene, which would be generated from strong acid leaching at Los
Bayos, has been deposited below it and laterally in the contiguous Chilón sector using the principal regional structure
(Chilon fault) as a conduit.
Two phases of exploration have been completed. In the first phase, detailed geological mapping confirmed the
identification and nature of the Andrés-Amos porphyry copper cluster and the location of Rio Rocin properties within
that feature. The second phase comprised a comprehensive geophysical programme, which included ground
magnetics, induced polarisation (dipole-dipole) and resistivity.
The results of the induced polarisation and resistivity work show the presence of three anomalies that require drill
testing for supergene mineralisation. These coincide with the magnetic lows at Los Bayos and northern Chilón, and
are high quality anomalies that are thought to provide indicators of supergene sulphide mineralisation.
8
Castillo Copper Limited – Directors’ Report
The identification and definition of geophysical anomalies represent high quality targets for testing by drilling. A
programme of 2,000 metres of diamond drilling had been planned for the summer of 2013/14 but was postponed
while important safety and logistics issues associated with remote alpine drilling were resolved.
CORPORATE
On 31 August 2013, Mr Brian McMaster was appointed to the Board as Executive Chairman following the resignation
of Mr William Ryan.
On 1 April 2014, Mr Matthew Wood was appointed to the Board as Executive Director following the resignation of Mr
Scott Funston.
Castillo Copper maintains an aggressive position in continuous assessment of new opportunities as they arise in
Chile, and has acquired substantial areas of exploration concessions. In addition, it continues to rationalise its
tenement holdings in New South Wales.

Castillo Copper Limited – Corporate Governance Statement
The Board of Directors of Castillo Copper Limited (“Castillo Copper” or “the Group”) is responsible for corporate
governance of the Group. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Group on behalf of the
shareholders by who they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
The Group has established a set of corporate governance policies and procedures. These were based on the
Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s (the Council’s) “Principles of Good Corporate
Governance and Best Practice Recommendations” (the Recommendations). In accordance with the Council’s
recommendations, the Corporate Governance Statement must now contain certain specific information and must
disclose the extent to which the Group has followed the guidelines during the period. Where a recommendation has
not been followed, that fact must be disclosed, together with the reasons for the departure. For further information on
corporate governance policies adopted by the Group, refer to our website: www.castillocopper.com.

Nomination Committee
The Board has formally adopted a Nomination Committee Charter but given the present size of the Group, has not

size a separate Nomination Committee will be formed.

the best guidance and value to the Group.
Remuneration
It is the Group’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board by
remunerating Directors fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. The Group
does not link the nature and amount of executive and directors’ emoluments to the Group’s financial and operational
performance.

sufficient size a separate Remuneration Committee will be formed.
There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation, to non-executive Directors.
Diversity Policy

2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Material accounting policies adopted in preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been
consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The presentation currency is Australian dollars.
(b)
Statement of Compliance
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report,
comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS).
(c)
New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
The following applicable accounting standards and interpretations have been issued or amended but are not yet
effective. These standards have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2014 and no change to
the Group’s accounting policy is required.

AASB 9
Financial Instruments
AASB 9 includes requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial
assets. It was further amended by AASB
2010-7 to reflect amendments to the
accounting for financial liabilities.
These requirements improve and simplify the
approach for classification and measurement
of financial assets compared with the
requirements of AASB 139. The main changes
are described below.
(a)
Financial assets that are debt
instruments will be classified based on

Allows 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. Dividends in
respect of these investments that are a
return on investment can be recognised
in profit or loss and there is no
impairment or recycling on disposal of
the instrument.
Financial assets can be designated and
measured at fair value through profit or
loss at initial recognition if doing so
eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition
inconsistency that would arise from
measuring assets or liabilities, or
recognising the gains and losses on
them, on different bases.
(d) Where the fair value option is used for
financial liabilities the change in fair
value is to be accounted for as follows:
► The change attributable to changes
in credit risk is presented in other
comprehensive income (OCI)
► The remaining change is presented
in profit or loss
If this approach creates or enlarges an
accounting mismatch in the profit or
loss, the effect of the changes in credit
risk are also presented in profit or loss.
Consequential amendments were also made
to other standards as a result of AASB 9,
introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded
by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.
The Group has not elected to early adopt any new Standards or Interpretations.
(d)
Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
In the year ended 30 June 2014, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations
issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards
and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
(e)
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Castillo Cooper Limited and its subsidiaries
as at 30 June each year (‘the Company’).
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company has control. The
Company controls an entity when the company 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 to direct the activities of the entity
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using
consistent accounting policies.
Castillo Copper Limited
20 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses
and profit and losses resulting from intra-company transactions have been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and cease to be
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Company.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of
accounting involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.
The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair value of any pre-
existing investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
(f)
Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional and presentation
currency of Castillo Cooper Limited is Australian dollars. The functional currency of the overseas subsidiaries is
Chilean Peso.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(iii) Group entities
The results and financial position of all the Company entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate
at the date of that statement of financial position;
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange
rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in
which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are taken to
foreign currency translation reserve.
Castillo Copper Limited
21 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share
of such exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, as part of the gain or loss on
sale where applicable.
(g)
Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 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. Repairs and maintenance expenditure is charged to the statement of comprehensive income
during the financial period in which it is incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the Group
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
Depreciation Rate
Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings
10%
Computer and software
20% - 35%
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial
position date.
Derecognition
Additions of plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are
expected from their use or disposal.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and
losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(h)
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the
asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value
in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely
independent of those from other assets of the Group. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the
cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable
amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the
Castillo Copper Limited
22 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is
treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is
estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used
to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the
carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in
which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying
amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(i)
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area
of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure,
but does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area
of interest.
Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a
mining operation.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided that one of the
following conditions is met:
such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of
interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or
exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and
significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is impaired; furthermore, the directors regularly review
the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to be
recoverable.
Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the
requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. Exploration assets acquired are
reassessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one of the conditions referred
to in AASB 6 is met.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired,
is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the
entity.
Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not
expected to be recovered.

23 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off.
Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest/mineral resource unless the Group’s rights of
tenure to that area of interest are current.
(j)
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30 – 90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less
an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
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 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 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 comprehensive income.
(k)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short term deposits in the statement of financial position include cash on hand, deposits held at call with
banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts
are shown as current liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above.
(l)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense
relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
If the effect of the time value of money 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 where appropriate, the
risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by
definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are
discussed below.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors,
including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the
related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral
resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including
changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future,
this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached
a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.
To the extent that it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce
profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using a Black and Scholes model,
using the assumptions detailed in note 23.
Functional currency translation reserve
Under the Accounting Standards, each entity within the Group is required to determine its functional currency, which is
the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Management considers the Chilean
subsidiaries to be foreign operations with Chilean Peso as the functional currency. In arriving at this determination,
management has given priority to the currency that influences the labour, materials and other costs of exploration
activities as they consider this to be a primary indicator of the functional currency.
(n)
Income Tax
Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at balance date between the tax base of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability, excluding a
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. No deferred income tax will be
recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries if the timing of the reversal
Castillo Copper Limited
25 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
near future.
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 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 for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets
and unused tax losses 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 tax rates (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date and the anticipation that the Group will derive
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility
imposed by the law. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and only recognised
to the extent that sufficient future assessable income is expected to be obtained. Income taxes relating to items
recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.
(o)
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(p)
Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue is capable of being reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before
revenue is recognised:
Interest income
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying
amount of the financial asset.
(q)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than dividends, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any
bonus elements.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted for:
• costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
• the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been
recognised as expenses; and
• other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of
potential ordinary shares; and
Castillo Copper Limited
26 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any
bonus elements.
(r)
Goods and services tax
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.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Tax Office is included as part of receivables or
payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing
and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(s)
Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are measured at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the
consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received that are unpaid, whether or not billed to the
Group.
(t)
Share based payment transactions
The Group provides benefits to individuals acting as, and providing services similar to employees (including Directors)
of the Group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby individuals render services in exchange for
shares or rights over shares (‘equity settled transactions’).
The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at
which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes formula taking into account the terms
and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in note 23.
In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked
to the price of the shares of Castillo Copper Limited (‘market conditions’).
The cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the
period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become
fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i)
the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of
the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No
adjustment is made for the likelihood of the market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions
is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for
a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of the period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a
market condition.
Castillo Copper Limited
27 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum, an expense is recognised as if the terms had
not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of
the modification, as measured at the date of the modification.
Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However if a new award is substituted for the
cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award
are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The cost of
equity-settled transactions with non-employees is measured by reference to the fair value of goods and services
received unless this cannot be measured reliably, in which case the cost is measured by reference to the fair value of
the equity instruments granted. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected in the computation of loss
per share (see note 15).
(u)
Comparative information
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative information has been reclassified to be consistent with the
presentation in the current year.
(v) Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the
same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is
responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
(w) Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes,
the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place
either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its
highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of
unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is
either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market
knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to
another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a
comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Segment Information
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the board of directors that are
used to make strategic decisions. The entity does not have any operating segments with discrete financial information.
The Board of Directors review internal management reports on a monthly basis that is consistent with the information
provided in the statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. As a
result no reconciliation is required because the information as presented is what is used by the Board to make strategic
decisions.

Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2014
(a) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash facilities to meet the operating requirements of the
business and investing excess funds in highly liquid short term investments. The responsibility for liquidity risk
management rests with the Board of Directors.
Alternatives for sourcing future capital needs include the cash position and future equity raising alternatives. These
alternatives are evaluated to determine the optimal mix of capital resources for our capital needs. The Board
expects that, assuming no material adverse change in a combination of our sources of liquidity, present levels of
liquidity will be adequate to meet expected capital needs.
Maturity analysis for financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2014 any financial liabilities that
are contractually matured within 60 days have been disclosed as current. Trade and other payables that have a
deferred payment date of greater than 12 months have been disclosed as non-current.
(b) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair
value of financial instruments.
The Group’s exposure to changes to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash and term deposits.
The Group manages the risk by investing in short term deposits.

the statement of financial position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties.
At 30 June 2014, the Group held cash at bank. These were held with financial institutions with a rating from

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
CASTILLO COPPER LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Castillo Copper Limited, which comprises the statement of
financial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity
and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the
company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair

control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(b), the directors also state, in accordance with
Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant
ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
