CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW  

Dear Shareholder, 

The 2016 financial year has been another extremely busy and formative year for your Company with the 
continued active development and investment in the Company’s long-term strategy to dominate the 
Whitelaw Gold Belt via ground it controls and manages through its Joint Venture with Gold Exploration 
Victoria Pty Ltd (“GEV”), Providence Gold and Minerals Pty Ltd and our earn-in partner Navarre Minerals 
Limited (“Navarre”). The Company’s stated objective remains that of a major new virgin high grade gold 
discovery(s)  which  has/have  been  hidden  under  transported  soil  cover(s)  north  of  the  prolific  gold 
producing Bendigo gold field (historic gold production of greater than 22 million ounces) in Victoria. 

In August 2015, the Company undertook a pro-rata bonus issue of options to eligible shareholders on the 
basis of one (1) free option for every twenty (20) shares held. Each Bonus Option is exercisable into one 
fully paid ordinary share at an exercise price of 50 cents each on or before 30 June 2018. These options 
were  subsequently  listed  and  are  trading  under  the  Australian  Securities  Exchange  code  CYLO.    Your 
board has been encouraged by a number of shareholders who have already exercised their options into 
fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. 

In  October  2015,  the  Company  presented  at  a  Gold  Conference  in  Sydney,  which  resulted  in  the 
Company being exposed to the Sydney investment community with a particular focus on the Australian 
gold sector. 

In  February  2016,  the  Company  commenced  a  major  drilling  and  geophysics  programme  at  the  Four 
Eagles Gold Project, with two drill rigs contracted to drill approximately 24,000 metres via a combination 
of  Aircore  and  RC  Blade  at  Hayanmi  and  Boyd’s  Dam,  together  with  some  additional  regional 
reconnaissance.    

As  a  direct  result  of  the  Company’s  ongoing  drilling  success  and  its  previous  exposure  to  the  Sydney 
investment community, the Company was able to complete a share placement to raise $785,400 at a 
subscription price of 40 cents per share. The Placement was arranged and managed by Sydney based 
Paradigm  Securities  Pty  Ltd  (“Paradigm”).  The  Company  received  applications  for  a  total  of  1,963,500 
ordinary shares for gross subscription proceeds of $785,400. The Company welcomes its new shareholders 
who  were  introduced  by  Paradigm  and  looks  forward  to  strengthening  the  relationship  with  both 
Paradigm and its clients in 2017.   

On 12 May 2016, the Company was delighted to advise that its Joint Venture partner GEV had elected 
to proceed with the second stage of the farm-in agreement on the Four Eagles Gold Project after it had 
earnt an initial 25% equity interest having spent $2.1million on the project since March 2015. GEV will now 
spend a further $2.1 million on exploration to earn an additional 25% equity interest in the Four Eagles Gold 
Project. 

In July 2016, the Company announced the discovery of additional high grade gold mineralisation from 
an RC drilling programme at the Tandarra Gold Project (in which the Company is currently earning a 51% 
interest  from  Navarre).  The  assays  received  delineated  further  zones  of  high  grade  gold  mineralisation 
within the Tomorrow Gold Zone at Tandarra. 

The  Company  also  reported  further  high  grade  gold  intersections  from  an  additional  RC  drilling 
programme (that was halted by the arrival of winter rains) at the Four Eagles Gold Project. Although only 
2,331 meters (17 holes) were drilled, intersections of greater than 1.0 g/t Au were present in fourteen (14) 
of the completed holes. 

So in closing off on another productive year for your Company - your Board would like to acknowledge 
and thank all of its loyal shareholders (old and new), our Joint Venture Partners, our Earn-in partner, our 
hard-working  technical  team,  our  Corporate  team  and  Paradigm  for  everything  they  have  done 
collectively for the Company in 2016, as the Company positions itself to make a major discovery of gold 
in the very near term.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

The Directors of Catalyst Metals Limited present their report on the consolidated entity for the year ended 
30 June 2016. 

DIRECTORS 

The names of the Directors in office at any time during or since the end of the financial year are: 

Stephen Boston 
Robin Scrimgeour 
Gary Schwab 
Bruce Kay 

Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise 
stated. 

COMPANY SECRETARY

FINANCIAL POSITION 

The net assets of the Group are $923,131 as at 30 June 2016 (2015: $688,077). 

CORPORATE STRUCTURE 

Catalyst Metals Limited is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

The  principal  activity  of  the  Group  during  the  financial  year  was  mineral  exploration  and  evaluation.  
There was no significant change in the nature of the activities during the year. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The operating loss after income tax of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016 was $1,098,840 (2015: 
$240,105). 

DIVIDENDS  

No dividend has been paid during or is recommended for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS  

The term Whitelaw Gold Belt has been adopted because the Catalyst tenements are situated along the 
100 kilometre long Whitelaw Fault which is considered to be extremely important in the genesis of gold 
deposits  that  have  formed  adjacent  to  the  structure.    Victorian  government  seismic  and  gravity  data 
suggest that this large fault structure controlled the formation of the Bendigo gold deposits (historically 
approximately 22 million ounces of gold produced at a grade of 15 g/t Au) as well as gold mineralisation 
at both the Four Eagles and Tandarra Gold Projects.   

The  Whitelaw-Tandarra  Fault  corridor  is  considered  to  be  very  important  for  gold  deposition  but  is  still 
largely untested north of Bendigo because the favourable gold-bearing rocks are hidden beneath barren 
Murray  Basin  cover  sediments.  The  objective  of  Catalyst  is  to  use  modern  geophysical  and  drilling 
techniques  to  discover  high  grade  gold  deposits  that  can  be  mined  by  open  cut  or  underground 
methods.    The  discoveries  at  Four  Eagles  and  Tandarra  are  testament  to  the  high  prospectivity  of  the 
Whitelaw  Fault  Corridor.    The  Four  Eagles  Gold  Project  and  the  Tandarra  Gold  Project  are  about  15 
kilometres  apart  along  the  Whitelaw  Fault  Corridor  which  has  experienced  limited  prior  exploration.  
Catalyst now manages the entire Whitelaw Gold Belt and has interests in eight Exploration Licences which 
extend for 75 kilometres along the Whitelaw and Tandarra Faults north of Bendigo in Victoria (Figure 1).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

FOUR EAGLES JOINT VENTURE (EL4525, EL5295, EL5508) 

The Four Eagles Gold Project is a joint venture between Catalyst, Providence Gold and Minerals Pty Ltd 
(Providence)  and  Gold  Exploration  Victoria  Pty  Ltd  (GEV)  (a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Hancock 
Prospecting Pty Ltd).  Catalyst is retaining its 50% interest whilst GEV has now earned a 25% interest in the 
project  and  has  made  the  decision  to  spend  a  further  $2.1  million  to  earn  the  remaining  25%  from 
Providence.  The project is managed by Catalyst within the Four Eagles Joint Venture. 

The Four Eagles Joint Venture covers an envelope of gold mineralisation about 6 kilometres long and 2.5 
kilometres wide with gold occurring in at least three structural zones trending roughly north south (Eagle 
2,  Eagle  3  and  Eagle  4  on  Figure  2a  and  2b).    Three  prospects  have  produced  high  grade  gold 
intersections (Discovery, Hayanmi and Boyd’s Dam).   

RC BLADE/HAMMER DRILLING 

This programme involved the drilling of angled large diameter air core holes (RC Blade/Hammer) on the 
Hayanmi Structure. The Hayanmi Gold Zone is one of three gold trends identified at the Four Eagles Gold 
Project (Figure 2a and 2b).  The objective of the programme was to have drill traverses every 50 to 100 
metres along the mineralised corridor to enable geological modelling of the gold mineralisation.   

Hayanmi Prospect 

A total of 7,593 metres of RC Blade has been completed in 51 holes and a further 42 holes (4,052 metres) 
were drilled on the northern extension of the Hayanmi and Boyd’s Dam trends using the smaller diameter 
air core rig.  The RC Blade programme was carried out in two stages but the second stage was curtailed 
in early June 2016 due to successive rain events and grain sowing.  More drilling is still required on the 
Hayanmi trend and will resume in January 2017.  The drilling was successful in confirming the extent of the 
gold mineralisation along the zone as shown on the longitudinal projection in Figure 4 with several high 
grade  gold  intersections  recorded.    A  full  list  of  drill  results  and  full  location  data  and  the  Summary  of 
Sampling Techniques and Reporting of Exploration Results according to the JORC Code 2012 Edition were 
set out in Table 1 and Table 2 of Appendix 1 and 2 of the Catalyst ASX Announcement of 29 April 2016 
and in Appendix 1 of the ASX Announcement of 28 July 2016.

4.0m @2.6g/t Au from 106 metres including 1.0m @ 6.04g/t Au  (FERC059) 

The longitudinal projection in Figure 4 suggests that the gold mineralisation has a generally flat or gentle 
plunge, possibly to the south but this cannot be confirmed without diamond drilling.  These flat or gentle 
plunges are a characteristic of the total Bendigo-Fosterville district because the mineralisation is generally 
related to the intersection of steep fault structures with gently plunging anticlines.   

It  is  informative  to  look  at  this  early  stage  information  at  Hayanmi  in  comparison  to  known  gold 
mineralisation structures at nearby Bendigo and Fosterville.  On Figures 5 and 6, the current longitudinal 
projection  at  Hayanmi  is  shown  at  the  same  scale  as  the  Bendigo  New  Chum  lode  and  Fosterville 
respectively.  Each of these known ore deposits contained gently plunging shoots that contained greater 
than one million ounces of gold over similar strike lengths to that observed at Hayanmi.  It is hoped that 
further drilling at Hayanmi will better define the ore shoots within this 2.9 kilometre long structure.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

It  is  also  likely  that  the  Boyd’s  Dam  and  Discovery  gold  zones  at  Four  Eagles  will  have  similar  plunging 
morphology but further drilling will be required to establish this.  

All of the assays quoted above have been obtained using a 25 gram sub-sample and an  Aqua Regia 
digest followed by ICP-MS analysis but anomalous assays were re-assayed by bulk leaching the total ± 2 
kilogram sample subsequent to the end of the financial year.  This provides an excellent check of the 
variability  of  gold  at  Four  Eagles  which  tends  to  be  fine  grained  and  shows  a  low  “nugget  effect” 
compared to the Bendigo goldfield.

Boyd’s Dam – Boyd North Prospect 

Only three RC Blade/Hammer holes were drilled on the Boyd’s Dam Prospect (Figures 6 & 7) for a total of 
320 metres.  All holes contained significant gold intersections and confirmed the general gold trends.  A 
further  23  holes  will  be required  to  fully  assess  the  Boyd’s  Dam  Prospect  and  these  are  planned  to  be 
drilled later in 2016 after the annual grain harvest. Assays received from the three holes show the following 
intersections: 

  2m @ 7.57 g/t au from 55 metres (FERC039) 
  8.0m @ 3.65 g/t Au including 1.0 m @ 12.35 g/t Au and 1.0m @10.05 g/t au from 66 metres 

(FERC039) 

  1.0m @ 10.55 g/t Au from 66 metres (FERC037) 
  16.0m @ 2.0 g/t Au from 80 metres (FERC038) 

These intersections are 400 metres apart as shown on the longitudinal projection on Figure 7. 

The new discovery at Boyd North was reported in March 2016 and shows the potential of a high grade 
extension to the Boyd’s Dam Prospect.  Very high grades were present in a 3 metre sample in FE732 which 
produced  an  assay  of  >100  g/t  Au  because  of  the  limitation  of  the  assay  method  used  for  the 
reconnaissance  programmes.    This  entire  3  metre  sample  has  subsequently  been  bulk  leached  and 
assayed 154 g/t Au.   

Bulk leach assays for one-metre samples were received for drill hole FE728 which reported 3 metres @ 1.15 
g/t  Au previously and have upgraded the intersection to 1.0 metre @ 6.2 g/t Au from 84 metres.  If the 
intersections in FE728 and FE732 are on the same structure, a high grade gold zone at least 600 metres 
long may be present at Boyd North where basement depths are only 20 to 40 metres.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

Full location data on the 37 RC Blade/Hammer holes was shown on Table 1 and a Summary of Sampling 
Techniques  and  Reporting  of  Exploration  Results  according  to  the  JORC  Code  2012  Edition  were 
tabulated in Appendix 1 which was released separately to the ASX in March 2016.   

Regional Reconnaissance Exploration 

Reconnaissance  air core  drilling  was  also  undertaken on  Exploration  Licences  5508  and  5521  to  satisfy 
work commitments on these licences.  Nineteen (19) holes (2,161 metres) were completed on two road 
traverses about 40 kilometres north of the Four Eagles gold zones. The objective of the programme is to 
test the prospective Whitelaw-Tandarra Fault corridor north of Pyramid Hill where very little previous drilling 
has  been  undertaken.  No  significant  gold  values  were  obtained  but  one  area  on  Gainey  Road 
intersected Ordovician basement at 24 metres depth and contained highly anomalous arsenic values.  It 
will require follow-up drilling at a later stage.  Collar location data and assay values were recorded in 
Table 2b in Appendix 2 as released to the ASX on 29 April 2016.  

GRAVITY SURVEY 

The detailed ground gravity survey was completed with 3,040 stations being collected at a 100 metre by 
400 metres station spacing.  The data has been merged with available Government data and images 
are  being  produced  for  drill  targeting.    Several  strong  trends  are  apparent  in  the  images  and  may 
represent new structures that could host gold mineralisation.  Air core drilling (approximately 3,000 metres) 
is proposed to test these targets.  These targets are shown on Figure 7. 

TANDARRA GOLD PROJECT (EL4897) (CATALYST EARNING 51% FROM NAVARRE MINERALS LIMITED) 

The  Tandarra  Project  is  comprised  of  Exploration  Licence  4897,  which  is  owned  by  Navarre  Minerals 
Limited (Navarre).  Under a farm-in arrangement with Navarre, Catalyst is earning a 51% equity interest in 
Exploration Licence 4897 by spending $3 million on exploration over a four year period.  The Company 
delayed the commencement of the drilling programmes until April 2016 because the grant of a further 
two year extension to EL4897 was not received until March 2016.   

RC BLADE DRILLING: TOMORROW AND MACNAUGHTANS ZONES 

RC Blade drilling commenced at the Tomorrow Gold Zone in April 2016 and was completed in early May 
2016, of which 39 holes were drilled for a total of 4,003 metres.   Thirty Four (34) of these holes were drilled 
on the Tomorrow Gold Zone over a strike length of 800 metres and tested the structure down to a vertical 
depth of about 80 metres.  Eight (8) traverses were completed to give an approximate traverse spacing 
of  about  50  metres  along  the  mineralised  zone  with  holes  oriented  at  60  degrees  to  the  west.    Each 
traverse contained at least one significant gold intersection as shown on the plan view and longitudinal 
section as Figures 8a, 8b and 9. 

Six holes were drilled on two traverses on the Macnaughtans Gold Zone but the maximum gold value was 
0.75g/t Au.  All assays reported have been obtained by using an aqua regia digest and an AAS finish on 
a  25  gram  sample  taken  from  a  ±  2  kilogram  sample.    These  2  kilogram  samples  still  need  to  be  bulk 
leached with cyanide to verify the gold values and also to provide a better understanding of the gold 
particle size and reproducibility. 

All drill traverses on the Tomorrow Gold Zone contained at least one significant gold intersection with some 
holes containing multiple zones.  A summary of the significant intersections is provided below. 

Tomorrow Gold Zone 

  5.0m @ 17.0g/t Au from 106 metres including 1.0m @ 79.6g/t Au  (RCT107) 
  10.0m @ 6.2g/t Au from 74 metres and 23m @ 1.91g/t Au from 90 metres (RCT111) 
  2.0m @ 14.3g/t Au from 54 metres and 5.0m @ 5.9g/t Au from 84 metres (RCT132)

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

Figure 9: Boyd’s Dam – Boyd North Longitudinal Projection looking west 

The deeper intersection in RCT132 (5.0 metres @ 5.9g/t Au) at the southern end of the Tomorrow structure 
appears to be situated west of the main trend and may represent another parallel zone of mineralisation 
that has not been tested by previous drilling.  There is also scope to extend the Tomorrow Gold Zone along 
strike to the south. 

All  assays  are  currently  being  finalised  and  entered  into  a  database  from  which  interpretation  and 
modelling of the gold mineralisation will be conducted. 

Full  location  data  on  the  39  RC  Blade/hammer  holes  and  a  Summary  of  Sampling  Techniques  and 
Reporting of Exploration Results according to the JORC Code 2012 Edition were included in Appendix 1 
of an ASX announcement dated 20 July 2016.  Maximum gold values in each hole were also tabulated 
in Table 2 of the same Appendix.  

RECONNAISSANCE AIR CORE DRILLING PROGRAMME: TANDARRA 

Reconnaissance air core drilling had been planned for the Tandarra North and Dingee Zones (Figure10) 
during the June 2016 Quarter but this was delayed by the late grant of EL4897 which meant that many 
drill sites became inaccessible because of grain sowing preparation and other seasonal farming activities.  
Three holes were drilled to the north of the Tomorrow Gold Zone and showed a basement depth of 80 to 
100 metres.  No gold mineralisation was intersected but anomalous arsenic values in air core hole ACT 
230 suggests that the mineralised corridor may be present in this area.  Further testing will be required.  
Collar location data and assay values were included in the ASX Announcement on 20 July 2016.  

The  deferred  programme  of  reconnaissance  air  core  drilling  as  shown  on  Figure  10  will  now  be 
rescheduled to begin following the grain harvest in December 2016. 

CASTLEMAINE JOINT VENTURE PROJECT: RAYDARRA (EL5266) 

A total of 8 reconnaissance air core holes (902 metres) were drilled at Raydarra EL5266 (Figure 1) during 
the June Quarter 2016, along the roadside of Triplets Road and Yallock Mail Road, just south of Dingee.  
The  drilling  program  was  designed  to  provide  vertical  holes  into  Ordovician  basement  at  a  nominal 
spacing  of  320m  along  two  traverses  3.2  kilometres  apart  within  the  prospective  corridor  some  2.8 
kilometres south of the Tandarra Tomorrow prospect. 

The 5 air core holes drilled along Triplets Road encountered basement at a nominal 70m depth, with drill 
holes extending as much as 52 metres into basement, but the basement beneath Yallock Mail Road was 
substantially deeper and drilling did not achieve basement depth.   

No significant gold values were recorded and the basement and the arsenic geochemistry showed low 
values.

OTHER WHITELAW BELT TENEMENTS: 100% CATALYST (EL5521, EL5533, EL5009) 

A total of 11 reconnaissance air core holes (1,338 metres) were drilled at Raydarra East EL5509 (Figure 1) 
during the June 2016 Quarter, along the roadside of Triplets Road and Yallock Mail Road, Dingee.  The 
drilling program was designed to provide vertical holes into Ordovician basement at a nominal spacing 
of 320m along two traverses 3.2 kilometres apart within the prospective corridor some 2.8 kilometres south 
of the Tandarra Tomorrow prospect. 

Of the 7 air core holes drilled along Triplets Road, only  ACR017 encountered basement; at 112 metres 
depth.    The  remaining  holes  were  terminated  prior  to  achieving  basement  either  due  to  technical 
difficulties (pertaining to unconsolidated gravels) or due to excess depth (beyond 130 metres). 

No anomalous gold or arsenic was recorded in drill hole ACR017 which intersected basement. 

Reconnaissance air core drilling was carried out on EL5521 (Macorna Bore) and has been discussed earlier 
in this report. 

There was no field activity on EL5533 (Sebastian).

This report sets out the current remuneration arrangements for directors and executives of the Group.  For 
the purposes of this report, key management personnel is defined as those persons having authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling major activities of the Group, including any director

The  information  provided  in  this  report  includes  remuneration  disclosures  that  are  required  under 
Accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures.  

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

Directors and executives remuneration 
Overall  remuneration  policies  are  determined  by  the  Board  and  are  adapted  to  reflect  competitive 
market and business conditions.   Within this framework, the  Board considers remuneration policies and 
practices generally, and determines specific remuneration packages and other terms of employment for 
any  executive  directors  and  senior  management.    Executive  remuneration  and  other  terms  of 
employment are reviewed annually by the Board having regard to performance, relevant comparative 
information and expert advice. 

The  Group’s  remuneration  policy  for  any  executive  directors  and  senior  management  is  designed  to 
promote superior performance and long term commitment to the Group.  Remuneration packages are 
set  at  levels  that  are  intended  to  attract  and  retain  executives  capable  of  managing  the  Group’s 
operations. 

Executive directors and senior executives receive a base remuneration which is market related, together 
with  performance  based  remuneration  linked  to  the  achievement  of  pre-determined  milestones  and 
targets.  

The  Group’s  remuneration  policies  are  designed  to  align  executives’  remuneration  with  shareholders’ 
interests and to retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of  the Group.  The  main 
principles of the policy are: 
- 
- 

reward reflects the competitive market in which the Group operates; and 
individual reward should be linked to performance criteria.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

REMUNERATION REPORT (Continued) 

The  structure  of  remuneration  packages  for  any  executive  directors  and  other  senior  executives 
comprises: 
-  a fixed sum base salary plus superannuation benefits; 
- 

short  term  incentives  through  eligibility  to  participate  in  a  performance  bonus  scheme  if  deemed 
appropriate; and 
long  term  incentives  through  any  executive  directors  being  eligible  to  participate  in  share  option 
schemes with the prior approval of shareholders. 

- 

Fixed and variable remuneration is established for each executive director by the Board.  The objective 
of short term incentives is to link achievement of the Group’s operational targets with the remuneration 
received by executives charged with meeting those targets. 

The objective of long term incentives is to reward executives in a manner which aligns this element of their 
remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. 

Performance incentives may be offered to any executive directors and senior management through the 
operation of performance bonus schemes.   A performance bonus, based on a percentage of annual 
salary, may be payable upon achievement of agreed operational milestones and targets. 

Non-executive directors’ remuneration 
In accordance with current corporate governance practices, the structure for the remuneration of non-
executive directors and senior executives is separate and distinct.  Shareholders approve the maximum 
fees payable to non-executive directors, with the current approved limit being $400,000 per annum.  The 
Board is responsible for determining actual payments to directors.  Non-executive directors are entitled 
to  statutory  superannuation  benefits.    The  Board  approves  any  consultancy  arrangements  for  non-
executive  directors  who  provide  services  outside  of  and  in  addition  to  their  duties  as  non-executive 
directors. 

Non-executive  directors  may  be  entitled  to  participate  in  equity  based  remuneration  schemes.  
Shareholders  must  approve  the  framework  for  any  equity  based  compensation  schemes  and  if  a 
recommendation is made for a director to participate in an equity scheme, that participation must be 
specifically approved by the shareholders. 

All directors are entitled to have premiums on indemnity insurance paid by the Group. 

At the 2015 AGM, 100% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for the 
year ended 30 June 2015. The company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its 
remuneration practices.

In  2015,  $36,751  of  Messrs  Boston,  Scrimgeour  and  Kay’s  directors’  fees  were  written  off  from  accrued 
directors’ fees carried forward from 2014.  This was due to the difference in the share price at the date of 
notice of the annual general meeting ($0.35) and the actual share price at the grant date of the shares 
($0.225).  During 2015 Mr Kay agreed to assist the company’s cash position by foregoing directors’ fees 
from 1 January 2014 and receiving only consulting fees.  

Letters  of  appointment  have  been  entered  into  with  each  director  of  the  Company.    No  duration  of 
appointment  or  termination  benefits  are  applicable.    Effective  from  1  January  2012,  Non-executive 
directors receive remuneration of $40,000 per annum plus statutory superannuation, whilst the Chairman 
receives remuneration of $60,000  per annum plus statutory superannuation.  Directors are permitted to 
salary sacrifice their fees. 

The company secretary is deemed to be an executive by virtue of being an officer of the parent entity.  
The role performed by the company secretary does not meet the definition of key management person 
under AASB 124, hence this officer has been excluded from the key management personnel disclosures 
in the financial report. 

The company secretary has an agreement on normal commercial terms for the provision of services at 
the rate of $5,000 per month. 

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

DIRECTORS’ REPORT  

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 

The board of directors, in accordance with advice from the audit committee, is satisfied that the provision 
of  non-audit  services  during  the  year  is  compatible  with  the  general  standard  of  independence  for 
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that any non-audit services did 
not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons: 

  all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to commencement 

 

to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 
the  nature  of  the  services  provided  do  not  compromise  the  general  principles  relating  to  auditor 
independence in accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the 
Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board. 

No  fees  for  non-audit  services  were  paid/payable  to  the  external  auditors  during  the  year  ended

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
For The Year Ended 30 June 2016 

1. 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out 
below.    These  policies  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all  the  years  presented,  unless  otherwise 
stated. 

(a)  New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for 
the current reporting period. 

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory 
have not been early adopted. 

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact 
on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity. 

(b) 

Basis of preparation 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board 
('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial 
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where 
applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair 
value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment 
and derivative financial instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It 
also  requires  management  to  exercise  its  judgement  in  the  process  of  applying  the  consolidated 
entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas 
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. 

(c) 

(d) 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations  Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the 
consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 25. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Catalyst 
Metals Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the 
year then ended. Catalyst Metal Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial 
statements as the 'consolidated entity'. 

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  consolidated  entity  has  control.    The  consolidated 
entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity 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.  Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is 
transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the 
consolidated  entity  are  eliminated.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  the  transaction 
provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have 
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated 
entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
For The Year Ended 30 June 2016 

1. 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change 
in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the 
difference  between  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-
controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of 
changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed 
to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. 
Where  the  consolidated  entity  loses  control  over  a  subsidiary,  it  derecognises  the  assets  including 
goodwill,  liabilities  and  non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative 
translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the 
consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in 
profit or loss. 

(e)  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. 

(f) 

Revenue 
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated 
entity  and  the  revenue  can  be  reliably  measured.  Revenue  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the 
consideration received or receivable. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable 
to the financial assets. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

(g) 

Impairment 
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell 
and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value 
over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

 (h)  Cash and cash equivalents 

For  the  purpose  of  the cash  flow  statement,  cash  includes  cash  on hand  and  at  call  deposits  with 
banks or financial institutions and investments in money market instruments with less than 30 days to 
maturity. 

(i) 

(j)  

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost less impairment. 

Financial instruments 
Recognition and Initial Measurement 

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the 
entity  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the  instrument.  Trade  date  accounting  is 
adopted  for  financial  assets  that  are  delivered  within  timeframes  established  by  marketplace 
convention.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
For The Year Ended 30 June 2016 

1. 

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs where the instrument is 
not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as 
at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are 
classified and measured as set out below.  

Derecognition 

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the 
asset  is  transferred  to  another  party  whereby  the  entity  no  longer  has  any  significant  continuing 
involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised 
where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the 
carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value 
of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in 
profit or loss. 
Classification and Subsequent Measurement 

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value 
through  profit  or  loss’.  Financial  assets  are  classified  as  held  for  trading if  they  are acquired  for  the 
purpose of selling in the near term.  Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are 
designated  as  effective  hedging  instruments.  Gains  or  losses  on  investments  held  for  trading  are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments 
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified 
as  held-to-maturity  when  the  Group  has  the  positive  intention  and  ability  to  hold  to  maturity. 
Investments  intended  to  be  held  for  an  undefined  period  are  not  included  in  this  classification. 
Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, 
plus  or  minus  the  cumulative  amortisation  using  the  effective  interest  method  of  any  difference 
between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. 

This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are 
an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. 
For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the 
investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. 

(iii) Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that 
are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market.  Such  assets  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are 
derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. 

(iv) Available-for-sale investments 
Available-for-sale  investments  are  those  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  are  designated  as 
available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition 
available-for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a 
separate  component  of  equity  until  the  investment  is  derecognised  or  until  the  investment  is 
determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Fair value  

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques 
are  applied  to  determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length 
transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Impairment  

At  each  reporting  date,  the  Group  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial 
instrument  has  been  impaired.  In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  financial  instruments,  a  prolonged 
decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. 
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. 

(k) 

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.   Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known 
or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation. 

Exploration expenditure for each area of interest is written off as incurred, except that it may be carried 
forward 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  activities  in  an  area  of  interest  have  not,  at  balance  date  reached  a  stage  which 
permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically  recoverable 
reserves. 

The Group performs impairment testing when facts and circumstances suggest the carrying amount 
has been impaired.  If it was determined that the asset was impaired it would be immediately written 
off to the income statement.  

Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest unless the Group’s right of tenure 
to that area of interest is current.  Expenditures incurred before the Group has obtained legal rights to 
explore  a  specific  area  is  expensed  as  incurred.    Amortisation  is  not  charged  on  areas  under 
development, pending commencement of production. 

(l) 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the  Group prior to the end of 
the financial year which are unpaid.  The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days 
of recognition. 

(m) 

Provisions 
Provisions  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  management’s  best  estimate  of  the  expenditure 
required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. 

(n) 

Employee entitlements 

Short-term employee benefits 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service 
leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in current liabilities 
in  respect  of  employees'  services  up  to  the  reporting  date  and  are  measured  at  the  amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 

The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of 
the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to 
defer  settlement  of  the  liability.  The  liability  is  measured  as  the  present  value  of  expected  future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using 
the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, 
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted 
using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and 
currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they 
are incurred. 

(o) 

Income tax 
Current tax  
Current  tax  is  calculated  by  reference  to  the  amount  of  income  taxes  payable  or  recoverable  in 
respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the year. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that 
have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior years 
is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). 

Deferred tax 
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of 
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in 
the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. 

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax 
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available 
against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. 

However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise 
to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities  (other than as a result of a business 
combination)  which  affects  neither  taxable income  nor  accounting  profit.  Furthermore,  a  deferred 
tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  apply  to  the 
year(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and 
tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of 
deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in 
which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets 
and liabilities. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when  they  relate  to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same 
taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

Current and deferred tax for the year 
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except 
when it relates to items credited or debited  directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also 
recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, 
in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess. 

(p) 

Intangibles 
Research and development  

Expenditure  during  the  research  phase  of  a  project  is  recognised  as  an  expense  when  incurred. 
Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will 
deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.  

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future 
economic benefits over the useful life of the project. 

(q) 

Equity based payments 
The Group determines the fair value of options issued to employees as remuneration and recognises 
the expense in the income statement.  This policy is not limited to options and also extends to other 
forms of equity based remuneration.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Fair value is measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise 
price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price 
volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term 
of the option.   The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best 
estimate,  for  the  effects  of  non-transferability,  exercise  restrictions,  and  behavioural  considerations. 
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed 
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. 

(r) 

Earnings per share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  determined  by  dividing  the  profit  from  ordinary  activities  after  related 
income  tax  expense  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the 
financial year. 

(s)  Goods and services tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: 

•  where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation 
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as 
part of the expense item as applicable;  and 
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. 

• 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of 
receivables or payables in the balance sheet. 

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis and the GST component of cash 
flows  arising  from  investing  and  financial  activities,  which  are recoverable from,  or  payable  to,  the 
taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. 

Commitments  and  contingencies  are  disclosed  net  of  the  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or 
payable to, the taxation authority. 

(t) 

Property, Plant and Equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated 
depreciation  and  any  accumulated  impairment.    In  the  event  the  carrying  amount  of  plant  and 
equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down 
immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised in profit or 
loss.  A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in 
excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis 
of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent 
disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining 
recoverable amounts. 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-
line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated 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 

Computer equipment 

Furniture, fittings and equipment 

Depreciation Rate 

25%-33.33% 

33.33% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of 
each reporting period.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s 
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These 
gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. 

(u) 

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. 

(v)   Current and non-current classification 

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-
current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as current  when: it is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or intended  to  be  sold  or 
consumed in the consolidated entity’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of 
trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or 
cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle liability for at least 12 months 
after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity’s 
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 
months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 
for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. 

(w)  New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but 
are  not  yet  mandatory,  have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  consolidated  entity  for  the  annual 
reporting period ended 30 June 2016.  The consolidated entity's assessment of the impact of these 
new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, 
are set out below. 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments 
This  standard  and  its  consequential  amendments  are  applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and completes phases I and III of the IASB's project to replace 
IAS 39 (AASB 139) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. This standard introduces new 
classification  and  measurement  models  for  financial  assets,  using  a  single  approach  to  determine 
whether  a  financial  asset  is  measured  at  amortised  cost  or  fair  value.  The  accounting  for  financial 
liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, 
being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented 
in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 'Hedge 
Accounting' supersedes the general hedge accounting requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new 
simpler approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more closely align with risk management 
activities  undertaken  by  entities  when  hedging  financial  and  non-financial  risks.  The  consolidated 
entity will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is 
yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity. 

2. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates 
and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.    Management 
continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, 
revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical 
experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of  future  events,  management 
believes  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The  resulting  accounting  judgements  and 
estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that 
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
(refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
For The Year Ended 30 June 2016 

2. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (Continued) 

Share-based payment transactions 
The consolidated entity 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 either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and 
conditions upon which the instruments were granted.  

The  accounting  estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to  equity-settled  share-based  payments  would 
have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period 
but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Fair value measurement hierarchy 
The consolidated entity is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a 
three  level  hierarchy,  based  on  the  lowest  level  of  input  that  is  significant  to  the  entire  fair  value 
measurement,  being:  Level  1:  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or 
liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices 
included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Considerable judgement is required to determine 
what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is placed in can be 
subjective. 

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. 
These  include  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  or  the use  of  observable inputs  that  require  significant 
adjustments based on unobservable inputs. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The  consolidated  entity  determines  the  estimated  useful  lives  and  related  depreciation  and 
amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful 
lives  could  change  significantly  as  a  result  of  technical  innovations  or  some  other  event.  The 
depreciation  and  amortisation  charge  will  increase  where  the  useful  lives  are  less  than  previously 
estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will 
be written off or written down. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The  consolidated  entity  assesses  impairment  of  non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  and  other 
indefinite  life  intangible  assets  at  each  reporting  date  by  evaluating  conditions  specific  to  the 
consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal 
or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. 

It  is  reasonably  possible  that  the  underlying  metal  price  assumption  may  change  which  may  then 
impact  the  estimated  life  of  mine  determinant  and  may  then require  a  material adjustment  to  the 
carrying value of mining plant and equipment, mining infrastructure and mining development assets. 
Furthermore, the expected future cash flows used to determine the value-in-use of these assets are 
inherently  uncertain  and  could  materially  change  over  time.  They  are  significantly  affected  by  a 
number of factors including reserves and production estimates, together with economic factors such 
as  metal  spot  prices,  discount  rates,  estimates  of  costs  to  produce  reserves  and  future  capital 
expenditure. 

Income tax 
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant 
judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and 
calculations  undertaken  during  the  ordinary  course  of  business  for  which  the  ultimate  tax 
determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues 
based on the consolidated entity's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome 
of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and 
deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (Continued) 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity 
considers  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  to  utilise  those  temporary 
differences and losses. 

Exploration and evaluation costs 
The Group's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 1(k). The application of 
this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future 
events and circumstances, in particular the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves 
may  be  found.    Any  such  estimates  and  assumptions  may  change  as  new  information  becomes 
available.  If, after having capitalised expenditure under the Group’s policy, management concludes 
that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant 
capitalised amount will be written off to the income statement.

temporary  differences  (as  disclosed  above),  has  not  been  recognised  as  an  asset  because 
recovery of tax losses and temporary differences is not considered probable. 

The potential deferred tax asset will only be obtained if: 

- 

- 

- 

the  relevant  Group  derives  future  assessable  income  of  a  nature  and  an  amount 
sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised; 
the relevant Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by

 The  Advance from Gold  Exploration Victoria Pty Ltd  (GEV) relates to  monies advanced to Kite 
Gold Pty Ltd for its contribution to exploration expenditure on the Four Eagles Gold Project.  The 
balance at 30 June 2016 reflects expenditure that has not yet been incurred.  This amount is a 
timing  difference  that  will  be  reduced  to  nil  once  all  proceeds  advanced  by  GEV  have  been 
expended (refer Note 7).  Under the Farm-In Agreement, GEV will sole fund up to $4.2 million on 
exploration at the Four Eagles Gold Project to earn up to 50% of the Project.  GEV has spent $2.1 
million to date to earn 25% of the Project and has exercised the right to spend a further $2.1 million 
to earn a further 25% of the Project.

(h)  Capital risk management 

When  managing  capital,  management’s  objective  is  to  ensure  the  entity  continues  as  a  going 
concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
Management  also  aims  to  maintain  a  capital  structure  that  ensures  the  lowest  cost  of  capital 
available to the entity. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the entity may adjust the amount of dividends 
paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, enter into joint ventures or 
sell assets. 

The entity does not have a defined share buy-back plan. 

No dividends were paid in 2016 and no dividends are expected to be paid in 2017. 

There is no current intention to incur debt funding on behalf of the Group as on-going exploration 
expenditure will be funded via cash reserves, equity or joint ventures with other companies. 

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Performance Rights 

The Company has adopted a Performance Rights Plan which allows for performance rights to be 
granted  to  employees,  Directors  and  consultants  of  the  Group,(“Eligible  Participants”)  of  the 
Company  by  providing  performance  related  incentives  and  rewards.    Subject  to  certain  criteria

conditions: 

a. 

300,000 Performance Rights will vest on the date that the Company, through its wholly owned 
subsidiary Kite Gold elects to continue after Phase 1 of the Four Eagles Heads of Agreement, as 
evidenced by satisfaction of the relevant condition precedents to Phase 2, being the issue and 
allotment  of  a  further  750,000  Catalyst  shares  and  payment  of  a  further  $100,000  in  cash  to 
Providence; and 

b. 

700,000  Performance  Rights  will  vest  on  the  date  that  the  Company,  through  Kite  Gold, 
becomes entitled to the transfer of a 50% interest in each of the exploration licences EL4525 
and EL5295 under the Four Eagles Heads of Agreement. 

On 19 March 2012, Mr Kay was issued with 300,000 ordinary fully paid shares in the Company when 
the vesting condition for the 300,000 Performance Rights was satisfied. 

On  15  April  2013  the  Company  agreed  with  Mr  Kay  to  alter  the  Performance Rights  conditions  to 
reflect the  Amendment and Restatement Deed of the Heads of  Agreement that was signed with 
Providence.  Under the terms of the revised Performance Rights, Mr Kay agreed to defer the vesting 
and issue of 350,000 Performance Rights until the granting of the extension of EL4525 from 20 January 
2013 had been granted and Catalyst, through Kite Gold, becomes entitled to a 60% interest in the 
Four Eagles Gold Project. 

On 17 June 2013, Mr Kay was issued with 350,000 ordinary fully paid shares in the Company when 
Kite Gold became entitled to the transfer of a 50% interest in EL4525 and EL5295. 

The Performance Rights have been valued at $0.304 each based on the following assumptions: 
Each Performance Right will vest (otherwise the Performance Rights have a nil value) 
 
The  initial  undiscounted  value  of  each  Performance  Right  is  effectively  the  value  of  an 
 
underlying share in the Company and the valuation is based on the price range that Catalyst 
shares traded on ASX during July 2011 
No discount is applied for the vesting conditions, as these are not market based performance 
conditions 
A discount of 20% is applied to general restrictions, such as non-listed status, non-voting rights, 
no dividend rights and no rights to surplus on a winding-up, which result in a lesser value than 
an ordinary share 
Vesting periods have not been taken into account.

directors’ fees for the 2013/14 financial year.  The market price at the date of issue of the shares was 
$0.225 per share.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash, short-term deposits and financial assets 
at fair value through comprehensive income. 

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group has 
various other financial assets and liabilities such as sundry receivables, and trade payables, which 
arise directly from its operations.  

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are cash flow interest rate risk and equity 
price risk.   Other minor risks are either summarised below and Note  13 with respect to  capital risk 
management.  The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.

Financial Instruments (Continued) 

Market Risks 

Interest rate risks  

The  Group’s  exposure  to  the  risks  of  changes  in  market  interest  rates  relates  primarily  to  the 
Group’s short-term deposits with a floating interest rate. These financial assets with variable rates 
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities in the form 
of  receivables  and  payables  are  non-interest  bearing.  The  Group  does  not  engage  in  any 
hedging or derivative transactions to manage interest rate risk. 

Interest rate sensitivity 

At 30 June 2016, if interest rates had changed by 100 basis points during the entire year with all 
other  variables  held  constant,  profit  for  the  year  and  equity  would  have  been  $14,606  (2015: 
$13,349)  lower/higher,  mainly  as  a  result  of  lower/higher  interest  income  from  cash  and  cash 
equivalents. 

A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been selected as this is considered reasonably possible in the 
current  economic  environment.  Based  on  the  sensitivity  analysis  only  interest  revenue  from 
variable rate deposits and cash balances are impacted resulting in a decrease or increase in 
overall income. 

Credit risk  

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision of 
doubtful  debts)  of  those  assets  as  disclosed  in  the  balance  sheet  and  notes  to  the  financial 
statements. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties 
and  obtaining  sufficient  collateral  where  appropriate,  as  a  means  of  mitigating  the  risk  of 
financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are 
continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst 
approved counterparties. 

Liquidity risk 

The  responsibility  for  liquidity  risk  management  rests  with  the  Board  of  Directors.    The  Group 
manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  sufficient  cash  or  credit  facilities  to  meet  the  operating 
requirements of the business and investing excess funds in highly liquid short term investments. 

22. 

Segment Information 

The Group operates predominantly in one business segment and in one geographical location. 
The operations of the Group consist of mineral exploration, within Australia. 

23. 

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets 

The Group does not have any contingent liabilities or contingent assets at 30 June 2016.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF 
CATALYST METALS LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report  

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Catalyst Metals Limited, which comprises the consolidated 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive 
income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated 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 
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 is free from 
material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  Note  1,  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 
opinions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

A description of the Company’s main corporate governance practices is set out below.  These practices, 
unless  otherwise  stated,  were  in  place  for  the  entire  financial  year.    Copies  of  relevant  corporate 
governance policies and charters are available in the corporate governance section of the Company’s 
web-site at www.catalystmetals.com.au. 

Good corporate governance will evolve with the changing circumstances of a company and must be 
tailored  to  meet  these  circumstances.    Catalyst  Metals  Limited  is  a  junior  exploration  company  which 
currently operates with no permanent staff and no executive directors. 

This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 30 June 2016 and was approved by the Board on 
30 September 2016. 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
The Board is responsible for guiding and monitoring the  Company on behalf of shareholders by whom 
they  are  elected  and  to  whom  they  are  accountable.    The  Board’s  primary  role  is  to  formulate  the 
strategic direction of the Company and to oversee the Company’s business activities and management. 

The  Company  has  established  functions  reserved  for  the  Board  and  those  to  be  delegated  to  senior 
management, as set out in the Board charter.  The charter states that the Board is responsible for: 

the overall strategic direction and leadership of the Company; 

 
  approving and monitoring management implementation of objectives and strategies; 
  approving the annual strategic plan and monitoring the progress of both financial and non-financial 

 
 

performance; 
the corporate governance of the Company, and 
the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  a  framework  of  internal  control  and  appropriate  ethical 
standards for the management of the Company.   

Due  to  the  level  and  nature  of  the  Company’s  current  activities,  there  is  presently  no  designated 
Managing Director position within the Company.  A Managing Director will be appointed when the level 
of activities and other circumstances warrant.  Upon the appointment of a Managing Director, day to 
day  management  of  the  Company’s  affairs  and  the  implementation  of  corporate  strategies  will  be 
formally delegated by the Board to the Managing Director. 

The Board is responsible for the appointment and removal of the Company Secretary.  The Board charter 
sets out that the company secretary is accountable to the Board on all matters relating to the proper 
functioning of the Board. 

Board composition and independence 
The Board charter states that the Board is to comprise an appropriate mix of both executive and non-
executive  directors  and  where  possible,  the  roles  of  Chairman  and  Managing  Director  are  not  to  be 
combined. 

The Company has a four member Board comprising four non-executive directors, including the Chairman.  
Mr  Boston  and  Mr  Scrimgeour  are  not  considered  independent  by  virtue  of  their  respective  major 
shareholdings in the Company, neither is Mr Kay by virtue of financial remuneration during the year.  Mr 
Schwab is considered an independent director based on the principles set out below. 

The  Board  has  adopted  ASX  recommended  principles  in  relation  to  the  assessment  of  directors’ 
independence, which identifies shareholdings, executive roles and contractual relationships which may 
affect independent status.  The Board does not believe that length of service is a potential indicator that 
independence may have been compromised.  Financial materiality thresholds used in the assessment of 
independence are set at 10% of the annual gross expenditure of the Company and/or 25% of the annual 
income or business turnover of the director. 

Under  present  circumstances,  there  is  not  a  majority  of  directors  classified  as  being  independent, 
according  to  ASX  guidelines.    Board  members  should  possess  complementary  business  disciplines  and 
experience aligned with the Company’s objectives, with a number of directors being independent and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

where  appropriate,  major  shareholders  being  represented  on  the  Board.    Where  any  director  has  a 
material personal interest in a matter,  the director must declare his interest and is not permitted to be 
present during discussions or to vote on the matter. 

The composition of the Board is considered suitable for the Company’s current size and level of operations 
and includes an appropriate mix of skills, expertise and experience relevant to the Company’s current 
business operations.  A Board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the Board aims to 
achieve will be progressively introduced as the size and level of activities of the Company expands in the 
future.  Details of the experience, qualifications and term of office of directors are set out in the Directors’ 
Report.    

Having regard to the share ownership structure of the Company, it is considered appropriate by the Board 
that  a  major  shareholder  may  be  represented  on  the  Board  and  if  nominated,  hold  the  position  of 
Chairman.    Such  appointment  would  not  be  deemed  to  be  independent  under  ASX  guidelines.    The 
Chairman  is  expected  to  bring  independent  thought  and  judgement  to  his  role  in  all  circumstances.  
Where  matters  arise  in  which  there  is  a  perceived  conflict  of  interest,  the  Chairman  must  declare  his 
interest and abstain from any consideration or voting on the relevant matter.   

Each director has an agreement in writing with the Company, which sets out the key terms and conditions 
of  their  appointment  including  their  duties,  rights  and  responsibilities.    Directors  have  the  right,  in 
connection  with  their  duties  and  responsibilities,  to  seek  independent  professional  advice  at  the 
Company’s  expense,  subject  to  the  prior  written  approval  of  the  Chairman,  which  shall  not  be 
unreasonably withheld. 

Performance assessment  
The  Board  has  adopted  a  process  for  an  annual  self-assessment  of  its  collective  performance,  the 
performance  of  individual  directors  and  of  Board  committees.    The  Chairman  meets  with  each  non-
executive director separately to discuss individual performance and the Board as a whole discusses and 
analyses its performance over the previous 12 months and examines ways in which the Board can better 
perform  its  duties.    No  formal  assessment  was  undertaken  during  the  year,  however,  the  Chairman 
assesses the performance of the Board, individual directors and Board committees on an ongoing basis 
and undertakes informal appraisals with relevant directors. 

The  performance  of  senior  executives  will  be  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board  through  a  formal 
performance appraisal and interview.  Currently, the Board is collectively responsible for the evaluation 
of  any  senior  executives.    Executive  remuneration  and  other  terms  of  employment  will  be  reviewed 
annually  by  the  Board  having  regard  to  performance,  relevant  comparative  information  and  where 
appropriate, expert advice.  The Company does not presently have any senior executive positions and 
accordingly, no formal evaluation of senior executive performance was undertaken during the year.   

BOARD COMMITTEES 
The  Board  has  established  a  separate  audit  committee.    Matters  determined  by  the  committee  are 
submitted to the full Board as recommendations for Board consideration. 

Membership of the audit committee comprises two non-executive directors, Mr Schwab (chairman) and 
Mr Scrimgeour.  Details of the qualifications of committee members and attendance at audit committee 
meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report. 

The  audit  committee  operates  in  accordance  with  a  written  charter.      The  audit  committee  oversees 
accounting and reporting practices and is also responsible for: 

reviewing statutory financial reports and all other financial information distributed externally; 
co-ordination and appraisal of the quality of the audits conducted by the external auditor;

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The  current  size  of  the  Board  and  the  stage  of  development  of  the  Company  do  not  warrant  the 
establishment  of  separate  remuneration  or  nomination  committees.    The  directors  as  a  whole  are 
responsible  for  the  functions  normally  undertaken  by  these  committees.    In  circumstances  where  the 
growth  or  complexity  of  the  Company  changes,  the  establishment  of  separate  committees  will  be 
reconsidered. 

The Board reviews all remuneration policies and practices for the Company, including overall strategies 
in  relation  to  executive  remuneration  policies  and  compensation  arrangements  for  any  executive 
directors and senior management, as well as all equity based remuneration plans.  The structure for the 
remuneration  of  non-executive  directors  and  senior  executives  is  separate  and  distinct.    Details  of  the 
Company’s remuneration policies are set out in the Remuneration Report section of the Directors’ Report. 

Board nomination procedures 
The current size of the full Board permits it to act as the nomination committee and to regularly review 
membership.   When a Board vacancy occurs, the  Board identifies the particular skills, experience and 
expertise  that  will  best  complement  Board  effectiveness  and  then  undertakes  a  selection  process  to 
identify candidates who can meet those criteria. 

Prior  to  a  candidate  being  considered  for  appointment  as  a  director  of  the  Company,  appropriate 
enquiries are made as to the person’s character, experience, education, criminal record and bankruptcy 
history.  Shareholders are provided with relevant information on any directors standing for re-election at 
a general meeting of the Company, including relevant qualifications and experience.   

New directors are provided with an induction including comprehensive briefings with the Chairman and 
senior  executives,  visits  to  operating  sites  and  provision  of  information  on  the  Company  including 
Company and Board policies and other relevant documents.   

All directors are expected to maintain the skills required to effectively discharge their obligations to the 
Company.  Directors are encouraged to undertake professional development programmes to develop 
and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors of the Company. 

CORPORATE REPORTING 
The chief executive officer (or equivalent) and chief financial officer provide a declaration to the Board 
that the  Company’s external financial reports present a true and fair view of the  Company’s financial 
condition and operational results and that the declaration in relation to the integrity of the  Company’s 
external financial  reports is founded  on  sound  risk  management  and  internal control  systems  and  that 
those systems are operating effectively in relation to financial reporting risks. 

The external auditors provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board.   The current 
audit  engagement  partner  has  conducted  the  audit  since  December  2011  with  rotation  due  no  later 
than five years from that date.   

RISK MANAGEMENT 
The Company does not have a separate internal audit function as the Board believes that existing internal 
controls and management systems provide sufficient assurance that the Company’s risk management, 
governance  and  internal  control  processes  are  operating  effectively.    Operational,  financial,  legal, 
compliance and strategic risks are managed as part of the day-to-day management of the Company’s 
affairs with the support of relevant external professional advisers as required. 

No  separate  risk  committee  has  been  established.    The  Board  is  responsible  for  the  oversight  of  the 
Company’s risk management and control framework.  Responsibility for control and risk management will 
be  delegated  in  the  future  to  the  appropriate  level  of  management  within  the  Company  with  the 
Managing  Director  (or  equivalent)  having  ultimate  responsibility  to  the  Board  for the  risk  management 
and control framework.   

The Company’s risk management systems are evolving and it is recognised that the extent of the systems 
will develop with the growth in the Company’s activities.  Internal controls are designed to manage both

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

the  effectiveness  and  efficiency  of  significant  business  processes,  the  safeguarding  of  assets,  the 
maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability of financial and non-financial information. 

As the Board currently has responsibility for the monitoring of risk management it has not required a formal 
report regarding the material risks and whether those risks are managed effectively.  

The  Company  undertakes  mineral  exploration  activities  and  recognises  that  there  are  inherent  risks  in 
conducting its business operations.  Material risks associated with economic, environmental and social 
sustainability include operational risks, occupational, health and safety, community and environmental 
risks,  mineral  resource  estimates,  metal  prices  and  exchange  rate  fluctuations,  financing  and  working 
capital requirements, compliance and regulatory risks. 

Some of these risks are beyond the Company’s direct control and require risk mitigation strategies whilst 
other risks are directly within the control of the Company and  are  managed through  operational and 
management procedures.  

CODE OF CONDUCT 
A  formal  code  of  conduct has  been  established  and applies  to  all  directors  and employees,  to  guide 
compliance with the legitimate interests of all stakeholders.  The code aims to encourage the appropriate 
standards of conduct and behaviour of the directors, employees and contractors of the  Company.  All 
personnel are expected to act with integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation 
and performance of the Company. 

The  Company’s  share  trading  policy  prohibits  the  purchase  or  disposal  of  securities  by  directors,  senior 
executives and other designated persons in the period of one week prior to the release of quarterly reports 
and the Company’s annual and half-year financial results.  Any proposed transactions to be undertaken 
must be notified to the Chairman or Company Secretary in advance.  

Where  the  Company  grants  securities  under  an  equity  based  remuneration  scheme,  participants  are 
prohibited from entering into arrangements for the hedging, or otherwise limiting their exposure to risk in 
relation to unvested shares, options or rights issued or acquired under the scheme. 

EMPLOYMENT DIVERSITY 
The Board recognises the benefits of achieving an appropriate mix of diversity on its Board and throughout 
the  Company  as  a  means  of  enhancing  the  Company's  performance  and  organisational  capabilities.  
However,  due  to  the  current  size  and  stage  of  development  of  the  Company  and  there  being  no 
permanent employees, the Board has elected not to establish a formal diversity policy at this stage. 

The Company aims to achieve an appropriate mix of diversity on its Board, in senior management and 
throughout the organisation.  The Board has determined that no specific measurable objectives will be 
established until such time as the number of employees and level of activities of the Company increases 
to a level sufficient to enable meaningful and achievable objectives to be developed. 

The appropriate mix of skills and diversity for membership of the Board is considered as part of ongoing 
nomination and succession planning and which recognises the value of balanced gender representation. 

The Board currently comprises four directors, none of whom are female. The Company Secretary and the 
Chief  Financial  Officer  are  both  male.  There  are  no  other  officers  or  permanent  employees  of  the 
Company. 

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE AND SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS 
The Company has a formal written policy for the continuous disclosure of any price sensitive information 
concerning  the  Company.    Material  information  is  lodged  immediately  with  the  ASX  and  then 
disseminated by posting on the Company’s web-site. 

The Board has adopted a formal written policy covering arrangements to promote communications with 
shareholders and to encourage effective participation at general meetings.  The Company and the share 
registry offer mechanisms for electronic communication by shareholders, including an e-mail alert facility
