Chairman’s Address
"It's going to be a very busy 12 months at
Cangai Copper Mine"
Dear Shareholder,
Since joining the Board in February 2018, the pace of
development across our asset base has been remarkable,
especially post balance date. Three of our projects are now
being developed – Cangai Copper & Cobalt, Broken Hill and
Marlborough (through our prospective joint-venture with A-
Cap Resources) – while we are actively promoting the highly
prospective copper-cobalt Mt Oxide project to potential
strategic partners.
Over the balance of the current tfinancial year much of the Board’s attention will be on our flagship
Cangai Copper Mine project. The game changing event has been intersecting 11m of high-grade
shallow massive sulphide mineralisation with up to 10.25% Cu, 6.04% Zn, 32.5g/t Ag and 1.37 g/t Au
near Volkhardts lode. The clear priority now is to find extensions to known high-grade mineralisation,
locate the primary source and prove definitively the project is scalable.
We are now deploying down-hole electromagnetic surveys on the current drilling campaign to identify
accumulations of massive sulphide mineralisation. Once the information is 3D modelled by a specialist
geophysicist consultant, any major conductors identified will be diamond drilled. At the conclusion of
this process, we will have greater insight on the underlying orebody and tracking our strategic vision to
re-open Cangai Copper Mine.
Another objective at Cangai Copper Mine is to monetise legacy stockpiles along the line of lode adjacent
to the old smelter. Several parties have expressed interest in the metallurgical test-work, which has
returned copper concentrate recoveries over 80% and grading 22%. The Board has written to the NSW
regulator for guidance on steps required to remove the stockpile ore and have it processed off-site.
The Board is optimistic that by the end of the current financial year all four projects will be progressing
forward, with most progress likely at Cangai Copper Mine.
My thanks to our highly supportive shareholders as well as fellow Board members, employees and all
third-party service providers that have worked extremely diligently and contributed to Castillo Copper’s
outstanding success to date.

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

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
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.
The table below shows the performance of the Group as measured by loss per share.

Castillo Copper Limited – Directors’ Report
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 of the Group was mineral exploration and examination of new resource
opportunities. The Group currently holds copper projects in Queensland and New South Wales in Australia as well as
copper concessions in Chile.
EMPLOYEES
Other than the Directors, the Group had no employees at 30 June 2018 (2017:Nil).
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the financial period, the principal activity of the Group was mineral exploration and examination of new
resources in eastern Australia. Most of the focus was on the NSW projects, particularly Cangai Copper Mine (CCM),
though progress was made bringing in a strategic partner to optimise the Marlborough project.
CANGAI COPPER MINE: PHASE I DRILLING CAMPAIGN
On 17 May 2018, CCZ advised it had received final assay results from the Phase I drilling campaign – targeting deeper
sulphide mineralisation – confirmed high-grade copper intersections greater than 3% off the line of lode.
Notably, new mineralisation outside the JORC modelled envelope was discovered at CRC013 and CRC016-18 drill-
holes, while the DHEM identified an anomaly near CRC005 drill-hole (Figure 1 below).
Of particular interest is the result from drill-hole CRC018, which included a massive sulphide intersection reading – 1m
@ 3.31% Cu, 1.11% Zn & 5.7 g/t Ag. The significance of this intersection is that its potentially a splay off the main line
of lode that clearly warrants further investigation during the Phase II drilling campaign.
In addition, the DHEM anomaly, which has been discovered immediately along strike to the east of CRC005 drill-hole,
will be investigated further in the upcoming drilling campaign. The geology team believe it comprises massive sulphides
with high-grade copper-zinc-silver mineralisation, given CRC005 had an intersection of 4m @ 1.54% Cu, 1.17% Zn
and 11.5 g/t Ag.

Castillo Copper Limited – Directors’ Report
High-grade copper intersections3
Assays confirmed mineralisation was discovered in seven out of the final nine drill-holes, with several high-grade
copper intersections recorded (Table 1). Notably, the best intersection was 6m @ 2.69% Cu, 0.39% Zn & 9.2g/t Ag
which included 4m @ 3.08% Cu, 0.44% Zn & 10.6g/t. This builds on assays for the first nine drill-holes with the best
3m @ 2.22% Cu, 0.60% Zn & 6.4 g/t Ag.

The focus on the Cangai Copper project culminated on 6 September 2017, when CCZ announced a high-grade maiden
JORC Inferred Resource for CCM (Figure 2) in unmined working sections of 3.2Mt @ 3.35% Cu which implies circa
108,000 tonnes of contained copper. The overall results achieved from analysing and 3D modelling legacy data for
Cangai are solid and compared with Australian peers, the underlying copper grade (3.35%) is relatively high.

Subsequent to year-end, on 3 September 2018, the Board was delighted to present shareholders with an overview of
the highly encouraging assay results from drill-holes CC0021-25R achieved at CCM. The assay results, summarised
in Table 2 and Figure 3, confirm there is extensive massive sulphide mineralisation across most of the drill-holes
completed so far in this drilling campaign. In the Board’s view, achieving results which deliver up to 10.25% Cu, 6.04%
Zn, 32.5g/t Ag and 1.37 g/t Au from the first five drill-holes out of an extensive 39-hole campaign.
Notably, a material positive with the standout intersection – CC0023R: 11m @ 5.94% Cu; 2.45% Zn & 19.13g/t Ag
from 40m – other than high-grades and width, is the shallow depth at which the mineralisation occurs.
The assay results highlight strong credits for zinc-silver-gold, which clearly support the primary copper focus. Overall,
the results (Figure 3) clearly highlight that CCM is a high-grade deposit, with multiple base-metals prevalent within its
mineralised footprint.

BROKEN HILL PROJECT: SIX PRIORITY AREAS6
On 2 May 2018, CCZ announced its geology team had identified six highly prospective sites for cobalt mineralisation
within the Broken Hill project that have the Himalaya Formation present – this is the same geological sequence
apparent at Cobalt Blue’s (ASX: COB) Thackaringa deposit.
The geology team undertook crucial reconnaissance mapping and geochemical work on-site at the Broken Hill project,
so the inaugural drilling program can be designed as soon as practical. The team reviewed legacy drilling/geochemistry
data, geophysics, geological observations and regional maps to identify six priority target areas highly prospective for
cobalt mineralisation (Figure 4).

Castillo Copper Limited – Directors’ Report
Over the years, the Broken Hill project has been explored primarily for traditional regional minerals (Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu),
with most cobalt surface readings secondary. However, on a cumulative basis, cobalt readings have been recorded
right across the tenure, which includes recent rock chip samples taken by CCZ’s geology team. However, the majority
of the tenure, which is circa 125m2 in total, remains clearly under-explored which delivers upside potential.

QUEENSLAND PROJECTS
CCZ continued to progress with the application and grant process of the QLD tenements acquired. Subsequent to the
end of the year, on 25 July 2018, CCZ and A-Cap Resources (ASX: ACB) signed a binding Term Sheet to form a joint-
venture to explore the highly prospective Ni-Co Marlborough project, near Rockhampton in north-east Queensland
(QLD). With ACB agreeing to invest $2.25m over two years to fund exploration activities – up to completing the
bankable feasibility study stage – to earn 60% interest in the Marlborough project, with CCZ free-carried with 40%.
CHILEAN COPPER PROJECTS
CCZ did not perform any material exploration work on these projects.

Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
Corporate Information
1.
The financial report of Castillo Copper Limited and its subsidiaries (“Castillo Copper” or “the Group”) for the year
ended 30 June 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 September 2018.
Castillo Copper Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on
the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the Group are described
in the Directors’ Report.
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. 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 not yet effective
Standards and Interpretations applicable to 30 June 2018
In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations
issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the current annual reporting period.
As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised
Standards and Interpretations on the Company and, therefore, no material change is necessary to Group accounting
policies.
Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective
for the year ended 30 June 2018. As a result of this review the directors have determined that there is no material
impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change is necessary to
Group accounting policies.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
(d)
Going Concern
This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business
activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2018 of $2,402,843 and experienced net cash outflows from
operating activities of $894,761, net cash outflows from investing activities of $1,627,307 and net cash inflows from
financing activities of $4,173,853. At 30 June 2018, the Group had a net asset position of $5,593,998. The cash and
cash equivalents balance at 30 June 2018 was $1,710,498.
The directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern
basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will be able to secure funds to meet its commitments.
There are a number of inherent uncertainties relating to the Group’s future plans including but not limited to:
whether the Company will be able to raise equity in this current market; and
whether the Group would be able to secure any other sources of funding.
Accordingly, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt whether the Group will continue as a going
concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and
at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The financial report does not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets
or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not be able
to continue as a going concern.
(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 Group.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, 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-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.
Castillo Copper Limited
19 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
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.
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.

Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
(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 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

Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
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.
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.
(m)
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.
Castillo Copper Limited
23 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
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 22.
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
subsidiary 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
of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the
near future.
Castillo Copper Limited
24 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
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 / loss per share
Basic earnings / loss per share
Basic earnings / loss per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss 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 / loss per share
Diluted earnings / loss per share is calculated as net profit/loss 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
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for
any bonus elements.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
(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 22.
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.
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.
Castillo Copper Limited
26 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders
Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
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 14).
(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.
(x)
Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Castillo Copper Limited, disclosed in Note 18 has been prepared on the
same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the parent entity’s financial
statements. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, rather than being
deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
3.
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 reviews internal management reports on a monthly basis that is consistent with the information
provided in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position and
consolidated 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.

Options were granted as equity compensation benefits to Key Management Personnel during the year are set out in
the audited remuneration report.
(e) Weighted average fair value
The fair value of the equity-settled options granted is estimated as at the date of grant using the Black and Scholes
model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which they were granted, and the following inputs:
Expected volatility (%)
Risk-free interest rate (%)
Expected life of option (years)
Exercise price (cents)
Grant date share price (cents)

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that
may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends,
which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of options granted were incorporated into
the measurement of fair value.
No other options expired during the year, no options were issued or exercised during the year and no options have
been issued or exercised since the end of the financial year.

Reserves
Share based payment reserve
The share based payment reserve is used to record the value of equity benefits provided to Directors and executives
as part of their remuneration and non-employees for their services.
Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign exchange differences arising on translation of balances originally denominated in a foreign currency into the
functional currency are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. The reserve is recognised in profit or loss when
the net investment is disposed of.

Financial Risk Management
Exposure to interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group does
not hold or use derivative financial instruments. The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of deposits
with banks. The totals for each category of financial instruments are as follows:
Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Other receivables (current and non-current)
Financial Liabilities
Trade and other payables

82,984
2017
$
58,712
48,956
178,249
124,747
The Group uses different methods as discussed below to manage risks that arise from these financial instruments. The
objective is to support the delivery of the financial targets while protecting future financial security.
(a) Capital risk management
The Group’s capital comprises share capital and reserves less accumulated losses. As at 30 June 2018, the Group has
net assets of $5,593,998 (2017: $332,921). The Group manages its capital to ensure its ability to continue as a going
concern and to optimise returns to its shareholders.
(b) 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.

Castillo Copper Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2018
17.
Financial Risk Management (continued)
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 2018 any financial liabilities that are
contractually maturing 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.
(c) 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.

A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term
and long term Australian Dollar interest rates. This would represent two to four movements by the Reserve Bank of
Australia.
(d) Credit Risk Exposures
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the Group to incur a financial loss. The Group’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts on the statement of
financial position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties.
At 30 June 2018, the Group held cash at bank. These were held with financial institutions with a rating from Standard &
Poors of AA or above (long term). The Group has no past due or impaired debtors as at 30 June 2018.

(e) Fair Value Measurement

value.

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL REPORT
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Castillo Copper Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled
entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June
2018, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes
in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial
performance for the year then ended; and
b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 2(d) in the financial report, which indicates the existence of a material
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Castillo Copper Limited – Independent Auditor’s Report
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty
Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key
audit matters to be communicated in our report.

We examined the exploration budget

discussed with management the nature

We enquired with management,
reviewed ASX announcements and
reviewed minutes
of Directors’
meetings to ensure that the Group had
not resolved to discontinue exploration
and evaluation at any of its areas of
interest; and
We examined the disclosures made in
the financial report.
Carrying value of deferred exploration and
Evaluation expenditure
Refer to Note 7 of the financial statements
In accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and
Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the Group capitalises
all exploration and evaluation expenditure including
acquisition costs and subsequently applies the cost
model after recognition.
Our audit focussed on the Group’s assessment of the
carrying amount of the capitalised exploration and
evaluation expenditure, as this is one of the most
significant assets of the Group. We planned our work to
address the audit risk that the capitalised expenditure
might no longer meet the recognition criteria of the
standard. In addition, we considered it necessary to
assess whether facts and circumstances existed to
suggest that the carrying amount of the exploration and
evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

We considered these acquisitions to be a key audit

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to
continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Castillo Copper Limited – Corporate Governance
Subject to the specific authorities reserved to the Board under the Board Charter, the Board delegates to the
Managing Director responsibility for the management and operation of Castillo Copper. The Managing Director is
responsible for the day-to-day operations, financial performance and administration of Castillo Copper within the
powers authorised to him from time-to-time by the Board. The Managing Director may make further delegation
within the delegations specified by the Board and will be accountable to the Board for the exercise of those
delegated powers.
Further details of Board responsibilities, objectives and structure are set out in the Board Charter on the Castillo
Copper website.
Board Committees
The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify
the formation of separate committees at this time including audit, risk, remuneration or nomination committees,
preferring at this stage of the Company’s development, to manage the Company through the full Board of
Directors. The Board assumes the responsibilities normally delegated to the audit, risk, remuneration and
nomination Committees.
If the Company’s activities increase, in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate committees will be
reviewed by the Board and implemented if appropriate.
Board Appointments
The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director, or putting that person
forward as a candidate to ensure that person is competent, experienced, and would not be impaired in any way
from undertaking the duties of director. The Company provides relevant information to shareholders for their
consideration about the attributes of candidates together with whether the Board supports the appointment or re-
election.
The terms of the appointment of a non-executive director, executive directors and senior executives are agreed
upon and set out in writing at the time of appointment.
The Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chairman, on all matters to do with the
proper functioning of the Board, including agendas, Board papers and minutes, advising the Board and its
Committees (as applicable) on governance matters, monitoring that the Board and Committee policies and
procedures are followed, communication with regulatory bodies and the ASX and statutory and other filings.
Diversity
The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which provides a framework for the Company to establish and achieve
measurable diversity objectives, including in respect to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural diversity. The Diversity
Policy allows the Board to set measurable gender diversity objectives (if considered appropriate) and to assess
annually both the objectives (if any have been set) and the Company’s progress towards achieving them.
The Board considers that, due to the size, nature and stage of development of the Company, setting measurable
objectives for the Diversity Policy at this time is not appropriate. The Board will consider setting measurable
objectives as the Company increases in size and complexity.
The participation of women in the Company at the date of this report is as follows:
Women employees in the Company
Women in senior management positions
Women on the Board

The Company’s Diversity Policy is available on its website.
Board & Management Performance Review
On an annual basis, the Board conducts a review of its structure, composition and performance.
The annual review includes consideration of the following measures:
comparing the performance of the Board against the requirements of its Charter;
assessing the performance of the Board over the previous 12 months having regard to the corporate
strategies, operating plans and the annual budget;
48
Castillo Copper Limited – Corporate Governance
reviewing the Board’s interaction with management;
reviewing the type and timing of information provided to the Board by management;
reviewing management’s performance in assisting the Board to meet its objectives; and
identifying any necessary or desirable improvements to the Board Charter.
The method and scope of the performance evaluation will be set by the Board and may include a Board self-
assessment checklist to be completed by each Director. The Board may also use an independent adviser to
assist in the review.
The Chairman has primary responsibility for conducting performance appraisals of Non-Executive Directors, in
conjunction with them, having particular regard to:
contribution to Board discussion and function;
degree of independence including relevance of any conflicts of interest;
availability for and attendance at Board meetings and other relevant events;
contribution to Company strategy;
membership of and contribution to any Board committees; and
suitability to Board structure and composition.
Given, the size of the Board, the substantial changes to the composition of the Board in December 2017 and the
current level of operations of the Company, no formal appraisal of the Board was conducted during the financial
year.
The Board conducts an annual performance assessment of the Managing Director against agreed key
performance indicators.
Independent Advice
Directors have a right of access to all Company information and executives. Directors are entitled, in fulfilling their
duties and responsibilities, to obtain independent professional advice on any matter connected with the discharge
of their responsibilities, with prior notice to the Chairman, at Castillo Copper’ expense.
Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
Board Composition
During the financial year and to the date of this report the Board was comprised of the following members:
Mr. Peter Meagher (Non-Executive Chairman) – appointed 12 February 2018
Mr. Alan Armstrong (Executive Director) – appointed 1 August 2017
Mr. Peter Smith (Non-Executive Director) – appointed 27 March 2018
Mr. David Wheeler (Non-Executive Director) – resigned 12 February 2018
Mr Neil Hutchison (Technical Director) – appointed 1 August 2017, resigned 27 March 2018
Mr. Joe Graziano (Non-Executive Director) – resigned 1 August 2017
Ms. Nicole Fernandes (Non-Executive Director) – resigned 1 August 2017
The Board currently consists of two Executive and one Non-Executive Directors.
Castillo Copper has adopted a definition of 'independence' for Directors that is consistent with the
Recommendations.
Two of the Board members are not considered to be independent as they are executives of the Company.
Board Selection Process
The Board considers that a diverse range of skills, backgrounds, knowledge and experience is required in order
to effectively govern Castillo Copper. The Board believes that orderly succession and renewal contributes to
strong corporate governance and is achieved by careful planning and continual review.
The Board is responsible for the nomination and selection of directors. The Board reviews the size and
composition of the Board regularly and at least once a year as part of the Board evaluation process.
The Group does not have an established board skills matrix on the mix of skills and diversity for Board
membership. The Board continues to monitor the mix of skills and diversity on the Board however, due to the size
49
Castillo Copper Limited – Corporate Governance
of the Group, the Board does not consider it appropriate at this time to formally set matrix on the mix of skills and
diversity for Board membership
Induction of New Directors and Ongoing Development
New Directors are issued with a formal Letter of Appointment that sets out the key terms and conditions of their
appointment, including Director's duties, rights and responsibilities, the time commitment envisaged, and the
Board's expectations regarding involvement with any Committee work.
An induction program is in place and new Directors are encouraged to engage in professional development
activities to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as Directors effectively.
Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly
The Company has implemented a Code of Conduct, which provides guidelines aimed at maintaining high ethical
standards, corporate behaviour and accountability within the Company.
All employees and Directors are expected to:
respect the law and act in accordance with it;
maintain high levels of professional conduct;
respect confidentiality and not misuse Company information, assets or facilities;
avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest;
act in the best interests of shareholders;
by their actions contribute to the Company’s reputation as a good corporate citizen which seeks the respect
of the community and environment in which it operates;
perform their duties in ways that minimise environmental impacts and maximise workplace safety;
exercise fairness, courtesy, respect, consideration and sensitivity in all dealings within their workplace and
with customers, suppliers and the public generally; and
act with honesty, integrity, decency and responsibility at all times.
An employee that breaches the Code of Conduct may face disciplinary action including, in the cases of serious
breaches, dismissal. If an employee suspects that a breach of the Code of Conduct has occurred or will occur,
he or she must report that breach to the Company Secretary. No employee will be disadvantaged or prejudiced
if he or she reports in good faith a suspected breach. All reports will be acted upon and kept confidential.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting
The Board as a whole fulfills the functions normally delegated to the Audit Committee as detailed in the Audit
Committee Charter.
The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external
auditor when any vacancy arises. Candidates for the position of external auditor must demonstrate complete
independence from the Company through the engagement period. The Board may otherwise select an external
auditor based on criteria relevant to the Company’s business and circumstances. The performance of the external
auditor is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board.
The Board receives regular reports from management and from external auditors. It also meets with the external
auditors as and when required.
The external auditors attend Castillo Copper' AGM and are available to answer questions from security holders
relevant to the audit.
Prior approval of the Board must be gained for non-audit work to be performed by the external auditor. There are
qualitative limits on this non-audit work to ensure that the independence of the auditor is maintained.
There is also a requirement that the audit partner responsible for the audit not perform in that role for more than
five years.
CEO and CFO Certifications
The Board, before it approves the entity’s financial statements for a financial period, receives from its CEO and
CFO (or, if none, the persons fulfilling those functions) a declaration provided in accordance with Section 295A of
50
Castillo Copper Limited – Corporate Governance
the Corporations Act that, in their opinion, the financial records of the entity have been properly maintained and
that the financial statements comply with the appropriate accounting standards and give a true and fair view of
the financial position and performance of the entity and that the opinion has been formed on the basis of a sound
system of risk management and internal control which is operating effectively.
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy which outlines the disclosure obligations of the Company as
required under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act. The policy is designed to ensure that procedures
are in place so that the market is properly informed of matters which may have a material impact on the price at
which Company securities are traded.
The Board considers whether there are any matters requiring disclosure in respect of each and every item of
business that it considers in its meetings. Individual Directors are required to make such a consideration when
they become aware of any information in the course of their duties as a Director of the Company.
The Company is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and timely access to material information
concerning the Company.
The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for communicating with the ASX.
The Chairman, Managing Director and the Company Secretary are responsible for ensuring that:
a) Company announcements are made in a timely manner, that announcements are factual and do not omit
any material information required to be disclosed under the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act; and
b) Company announcements are expressed in a clear and objective manner that allows investors to assess
the impact of the information when making investment decisions.
Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders
The Company recognises the value of providing current and relevant information to its shareholders.
The Company respects the rights of its shareholders and to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights the
Company is committed to:
•
communicating effectively with shareholders through releases to the market via ASX, the company website,
information mailed to shareholders and the general meetings of the Company;
giving shareholders ready access to clear and understandable information about the Company; and
making it easy for shareholders to participate in general meetings of the Company.
•
•
The Company also makes available a telephone number and email address for shareholders to make enquiries
of the Company. These contact details are available on the “contact us” page of the Company’s website.
Shareholders may elect to, and are encouraged to, receive communications from Castillo Copper and Castillo
Copper' securities registry electronically.
The Company maintains information in relation to its Constitution, governance documents, Directors and senior
executives, Board and committee charters, annual reports and ASX announcements on the Company’s website.
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
The Board is committed to the identification, assessment and management of risk throughout Castillo Copper'
business activities.
The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control
framework. The Company does not have an internal audit function. Responsibility for control and risk
management is delegated to the appropriate level of management within the Company with the Managing Director
having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and internal compliance and control
framework. Castillo Copper has established policies for the oversight and management of material business risks.
Castillo Copper' Risk Management and Internal Compliance and Control Policy recognises that risk management
is an essential element of good corporate governance and fundamental in achieving its strategic and operational
objectives. Risk management improves decision making, defines opportunities and mitigates material events that
may impact security holder value.
51
Castillo Copper Limited – Corporate Governance
Castillo Copper believes that explicit and effective risk management is a source of insight and competitive
advantage. To this end, Castillo Copper is committed to the ongoing development of a strategic and consistent
enterprise wide risk management program, underpinned by a risk conscious culture.
Castillo Copper accepts that risk is a part of doing business. Therefore, the Company’s Risk Management and
Internal Compliance and Control Policy is not designed to promote risk avoidance. Rather Castillo Copper'
approach is to create a risk conscious culture that encourages the systematic identification, management and
control of risks whilst ensuring we do not enter into unnecessary risks or enter into risks unknowingly.
Castillo Copper assesses its risks on a residual basis; that is it evaluates the level of risk remaining and
considering all the mitigation practices and controls. Depending on the materiality of the risks, Castillo Copper
applies varying levels of management plans.
The Board has required management to design and implement a risk management and internal compliance and
control system to manage Castillo Copper’ material business risks. It receives regular reports on specific business
areas where there may exist significant business risk or exposure. The Company faces risks inherent to its
business, including economic risks, which may materially impact the Company’s ability to create or preserve value
for security holders over the short, medium or long term. The Company has in place policies and procedures,
including a risk management framework (as described in the Company’s Risk Management and Internal
Compliance and Control Policy), which is developed and updated to help manage these risks. The Board does
not consider that the Company currently has any material exposure to environmental or social sustainability risks.
The Company’s process of risk management and internal compliance and control includes:
identifying and measuring risks that might impact upon the achievement of the Company’s goals and
objectives, and monitoring the environment for emerging factors and trends that affect those risks.
formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks, and designing and implementing
appropriate risk management policies and internal controls.
monitoring the performance of, and improving the effectiveness of, risk management systems and internal
compliance and controls, including regular assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal
compliance and control.
The Board review’s the Company’s risk management framework at least annually to ensure that it continues to
effectively manage risk.
Management reports to the Board as to the effectiveness of Castillo Copper’ management of its material business
risks on at each Board meeting.
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Board as a whole fulfils the functions normally delegated to the Remuneration Committee as detailed in the
Remuneration Committee Charter.
Castillo Copper has implemented a Remuneration Policy which was designed to recognise the competitive
environment within which Castillo Copper operates and also emphasise the requirement to attract and retain high
calibre talent in order to achieve sustained improvement in Castillo Copper’ performance. The overriding objective
of the Remuneration Policy is to ensure that an individual’s remuneration package accurately reflects their
experience, level of responsibility, individual performance and the performance of Castillo Copper.
The key principles are to:
link executive reward with strategic goals and sustainable performance of Castillo Copper;
apply challenging corporate and individual key performance indicators that focus on both short-term and
long-term outcomes;
motivate and recognise superior performers with fair, consistent and competitive rewards;
remunerate fairly and competitively in order to attract and retain top talent;
recognise capabilities and promote opportunities for career and professional development; and
through employee ownership of Castillo Copper shares, foster a partnership between employees and other
security holders.
52
Castillo Copper Limited – Corporate Governance
The Board determines the Company’s remuneration policies and practices and assesses the necessary and
desirable competencies of Board members. The Board is responsible for evaluating Board performance,
reviewing Board and management succession plans and determines remuneration packages for the Managing
Director, Non-Executive Directors and senior management based on an annual review.
Castillo Copper’ executive remuneration policies and structures and details of remuneration paid to directors and
senior managers (where appointed) are set out in the Remuneration Report.
Non-Executive Directors receive fees (including statutory superannuation where applicable) for their services, the
reimbursement of reasonable expenses and, in certain circumstances options. They do not receive any
termination or retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation.
The maximum aggregate remuneration approved by shareholders for Non-Executive Directors is $500,000 per
annum. The Directors set the individual Non-Executive Directors fees within the limit approved by shareholders.
The total Non-Executive Directors fees paid during the reporting period were $72,367.
Executive directors and other senior executives (where appointed) are remunerated using combinations of fixed
and performance based remuneration. Fees and salaries are set at levels reflecting market rates and
performance based remuneration is linked directly to specific performance targets that are aligned to both short
and long term objectives.
In accordance with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, participants in an equity based incentive scheme
are prohibited from entering into any transaction that would have the effect of hedging or otherwise transferring
the risk of any fluctuation in the value of any unvested entitlement in the Company’s securities to any other person.
Further details in relation to the company’s remuneration policies are contained in the Remuneration Report,
within the Directors’ report.
