Considerable success from drilling and corporate activities, particularly in respect to the Kunanalling project, has resulted in a substantial increase in the value of the assets of the Company. Resources at Kunanalling have increased to 348,000 ounces whilst the project area has significantly increased to approximately 750 square kilometres. The Company has a large portfolio of ground largely prospective for gold and base metals situated within Western Australia. Through astute project acquisition and creative joint venture arrangements the Company is well exposed to potential exploration success in gold, iron ore, uranium, nickel and copper as well as several other commodities.The company has successfully joint ventured a significant number of these projects and intends to continue to actively develop new projects with a view towards divestment whilst aggressively expanding and developing its key asset at Kunanalling. Kunanalling – West Kalgoorlie Project Project greatly expanded, continued drilling success and advanced regional exploration commenced. Several new targets established with global resources of 348,000 ounces. Mining agreement signed with Placer Dome.. The Kunanalling Project is located approximately 30 kilometres west of Kalgoorlie and 30 kilometres north of Coolgardie in the East Coolgardie Mineral Field of Western Australia.The project has substantially increased in size since listing, largely as a result of dealings with other parties in the region, and the Company now commands a dominant land position in the greater Kalgoorlie region.The Company takes the view that a strong ground position allows significant leverage to exploration success The Kunanalling project encompasses a large contiguous group of tenements centred along the Kunanalling Shear, a major regional structure associated with gold mineralisation exhibiting features similar to the nearby Zuleika Shear host to the +7 Moz. Kundana minefield. Resources at Kunanalling now total 348,000 oz. gold as seen in the following table; MINERAL RESOURCES - KUNANALLING Project Project/Prospect Measured Tonnes g/t Au Indicated Tonnes g/t Au Inferred Tonnes g/t Au Tonnes TOTAL g/t Au Oz.

SG data for the majority of the resources is based upon measured samples where available and where absent, values were based upon data from nearby resources in similar geological settings. A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w 3 KUNANALLING Project – Regional Setting 4 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d Mining Recently the Company announced that it had entered into a Heads of Agreement with Placer Dome to develop the Catherwood, Wadi and Outridge gold deposits. Once commenced, the Project is scheduled to continue for 10-12 months with cashflow starting within 2 months of commencement owing to the shallow nature of the Catherwood ore. Ore will be treated at PDAP’s Kalgoorlie West Operations at Paddington. Development of the operation will be funded by PDAP, from project cashflow, with net profits being shared by the parties on a pre-determined basis on commercial terms. Clear benefits arising from this arrangement for the Company include; • No requirement for Project Financing for CAZ; • PDAP have extensive mining and milling experience in the region and CAZ will benefit from the resultant cost basis, management and logistics that will result. CAZ will effectively “piggy-back” onto PDAP’s long serving effective cost structures and will be insulated from recent industry wide cost increases; • The availability of treatment facilities at cost only; • Reduction in risk profile by utilising experienced management in the field of small scale mining operations; and • Ability of the CAZ management team to focus on exploration in the Kalgoorlie region. Placer have also rescinded any ‘clawback’ rights over a specific area within Castle Hill bounded by the following boxed area; NW: 6,609,480mN, 309,120mE SE: 6,608,230mN, 313,720mE.This includes the Wadi, Mick Adams, Kiora and Kiora North zones of mineralisation. Planning for the development of Catherwood is ongoing with final geotechnical and metallurgical studies recently studies completed. It is anticipated that final statutory mining approvals for the development of the Catherwood deposit will be received imminently. A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w 5 CASTLE HILL Area – Trend of Mineralisation & Prospects During the year exploration has provided a large degree of encouragement at several prospects, particularly in the North of the area in the castle Hill region, including Picante, North Kiora and Ridgeback. Drilling conducted at Picante following up on previously delineated gold mineralisation. Analyses of a previously drilled diamond drillhole lead to a new understanding of the structural controls on mineralisation at Picante. Follow-up RC drilling confirmed the predicted down plunge position of the mineralisation which was found to plunge at approximately 45° to the north.These results have enabled a preliminary resource of 330,000t @ 3.72g/t Au to be estimated. Continuous gold mineralisation at Picante, has now been traced for over 150 metres and remains open at depth.The continuous and consistent tenor of the mineralisation occurring close to the surface suggests that the zone could be quickly developed into a mining operation. Metallurgical test work is currently being conducted. Drilling of other targets in the Castle Hill area was aimed at testing new areas of potential mineralisation based upon historical drill results and an increased understanding on the controls of mineralisation in the area.The Picante discovery has proved particularly useful in furthering the understanding on the mineralising controls in the region. Results from drilling at the Kiora North and Ridgeback prospects has discovered further zones with the potential for the discovery of new resources. At Kiora North two zones have been outlined.The Tommy prospect has geological similarities with Picante with a result of 5m @ 4.00 g/t Au at the tonalite-ultramafic contact. A follow-up hole, KNRC0272, produced 2m @ 33.2g/t Au. Previous RAB drilling in the area had not returned any significant results, probably a result of gold depletion, although soil geochemistry is elevated.The Company considers the exploration results to be highly encouraging and provide the basis for ongoing work. 6 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d West Kalgoorlie Projects Exploration commences over the Ora Banda/Grants Patch project. An initial drilling programme was completed over specific targets at the the Ora Banda project based upon the results of historical work and geological assessment. Previous mining in the region has been extensive with most mineralisation restricted to particular stratigraphic units and controlled by a range of structures. Subsequent targeting has been based upon this work. Several targets were tested in the initial programme with results generally being low in tenor. The results are currently being assessed however some encouragement was received from one of the conceptual targets, which lies under cover where highly prospective units have been disrupted by structures known to host mineralisation in adjacent areas. Three lines of drilling over a wide area returned broad anomalism (best result being 1m @ 6.07 g/t Au). Follow up drilling is currently being proposed to further test this and other areas. Shovelanna Project – Iron Ore Tenement Application in Mt. Newman Iron Ore Province Cazaly has made an application for exploration licence 46/678 on 29 August 2005.The licence covers an area of approximately 40 sq.km and covers Brockman Iron Formation lithologies along Shovelanna Hill.The area is located some 12 km north northwest of BHPB’s Jimblebar operations at Wheelarra Hill and is immediately contiguous with BHPB’s Orebody 18 mining operation. Cazaly has entered into an agreement with Echelon Resources Limited whereby Echelon will provide technical capabilities and funding for a drilling program on the Project. Echelon has agreed to commit $2.5 million towards the exploration program designed to generate a JORC compliant Resources. Under the agreement Echelon is also required to provide specialist iron ore technical services to ensure that Cazaly has the requisite technical capabilities to advance the Shovelanna Iron Ore Project through to development. In consideration for Echelon committing to provide technical capabilities and funding $2.5 million in exploration funds, Echelon will receive a 14% interest in ELA 46/678 and receive 5 million options in Cazaly, exercisable at $1.00, on or before 31 December 2007. Echelon’s managing director, Mr Matthew Rimes, is a mining engineer with an extensive career in the resources sector. Mr Rimes has primarily worked for major mining companies including Rio Tinto Group and North Limited focused on iron ore. Over the past 10 years he has been with Robe River Mining (an associated entity of Rio Tinto) and held senior positions at Robe River Mining’s operations at Pannawonica and West Angelas. Prior to joining Echelon in June 2005, Mr Rimes held the position of Executive Manager Resource Development for Robe River Mining. The Project is located within the Hamersley Iron Province, Australia’s, and one of the world’s, premiere iron ore mining regions since mining first began in 1966.The ores are generally of three types; Bedded, Channel and Detrital deposits.The bedded ores comprise the bulk of the regions’ resources and it is this style of ore that exists at Shovelanna. Initial reconnaissance over the area highlighted a large extent of outcropping highly mineralised Brockman Iron Formation within the area. Mineralised Dales Gorge and Joffre Formation lithologies were encountered over a large area of approximately 3.5km in strike. Several surface samples collected from the outcropping mineralisation returned highly favourable results indicating that the ore is of a high grade nature akin to that occurring at the adjoining Orebody 18. Results are tabled below: A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w 7 SAMPLE RESULTS - Shovelanna Rock Samples SAMPLE No. GDA East GDA North SH001 SH002 SH003 SH004 SH005 SH006 SH007 SH008 SH009 SH010 SH011 SH012 SH013 Avg 201055 201014 201220 199928 199835 199882 199788 199525 199040 198516 198488 198573 198499 7418615 7418251 7418300 7418213 7418525 7418765 7418818 7418551 7418408 7418329 7418503 7418665 7418616 Fe % 65.1 70.2 69.0 69.6 46.3 63.6 67.2 68.3 67.4 69.8 70.0 68.2 69.6 66.5 Fe2O3 % Al2O3 % SiO2 % 93.1 100.4 98.7 99.5 66.2 90.9 96.1 97.7 96.4 99.8 100.1 97.5 99.5 95.1 2.0 0.5 0.7 0.5 1.3 3.4 0.6 0.9 1.1 0.4 0.5 0.7 0.3 1.0 5.4 1.5 1.2 1.6 2.2 4.3 1.6\ 1.7 1.4 0.9 1.1 1.5 1.2 2.0 P % 0.07 0.06 0.10 0.12 0.03 0.10 0.10 0.09 0.14 0.02 0.03 0.09 0.02 L.O.I. % 2.93 2.01 2.65 3.31 6.56 5.33 5.41 4.19 4.69 1.94 1.76 3.85 3.97 S % 0.07 0.01 0.00 0.02 0.00 0.05 0.15 0.04 0.03 0.00 0.00 0.04 0.00 0.07 3.74 0.03 The area subject to the application was previously held by Hamersley Resources Limited (a subsidiary of Rio Tinto), Wright Prospecting Pty Ltd and Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd under E46/209 which expired on 26 August 2005. Cazaly Resources Ltd (ASX:CAZ) has been notified that the following objections have been lodged in respect to application for Exploration Licence 46/678: • Objection MB54/056 by BHP Billiton Minerals Pty. Ltd, Itochu Minerals and Energy Australia Pty. Ltd and Mitsui-Itochu Iron Pty. Ltd. • Objection MB57/056 by Hancock Prospecting Pty. Ltd. The Company has also been formally advised by the WA Department of Industry and Resources (DoIR) that Rio Tinto Limited (Rio) has requested the Minister for State Development, Mr Alan Carpenter MLA, exercise his discretion under section 111A of the Mining Act of 1978 to refuse the application for the Shovelanna Iron Ore Project (ELA 46/678) on the grounds of public interest. The Company is vigorously defending both the objections and the Section 111A submission as we believe we have both the financial and technical ability to advance the project at a significant larger quantum that what has occurred in the previous 15 years. An initial substantial Reverse Circulation drilling programme has been designed and approved to commence upon grant of the tenement.This drilling is part of a more comprehensive exploration and development programme which is envisaged to quickly advance the project towards being mined. 8 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d Uranium Projects Newly applied for areas prospective for differing styles of uranium mineralisation The Company has recently made priority applications for several Licenses over four separate project areas situated in the Gascoyne and goldfields regions of Western Australia and in the Northern Territory. Two project areas in the Gascoyne region lie some 150 kilometres apart and are called the Pells Range (ELA09/1193) and the Jailor Bore (ELA09/1194) projects whilst applications for three exploration licences, the Lake Way project, abuts Nova Energy Limited’s Lake Way uranium deposit. One further application has been made at the Quartz Hill project which lies within the Harts Ranges to the northeast of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, The Pells Range project is prospective for roll front style uranium mineralisation occurring within carbonaceous sediments of the Moogooloo Sandstone. Historical drilling within a major regional flexure of this unit has identified several uranium anomalies. Observations of the known mineralisation include; an association of mineralisation with more oxidised portions of the Moogooloo Sandstone in particular in areas of regional flexuring, an association with more carbonaceous units and sandstone channelling and a marked increase in mineralisation towards the basin margins.The project occurs in an ideal environment for the development of classic roll front uranium mineralisation. The Jailor Bore project covers a suite of basement granitoids, schists and gneisses which are overlain by early Palaeozoic sediments. Uranium occurs in calcretised palaeodrainage sediments with carnotite, a uranium-vanadium mineral, being the dominant uranium mineral. Numerous occurrences of carnotite have been observed within the terraced calcrete deposits along the flanks of the major creek systems in the area. Previous exploration has only been of a broad reconnaissance nature but was successful in defining specific areas requiring further work. The Company has also recently announced that they have concluded a Strategic Alliance and Data Co-Operation Agreement with Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Limited (ASX: KAL). KAL has recently concluded an Agreement whereby they may acquire up to a 95% interest in the Jailor Bore resource which Cazaly’s tenement surrounds.The Alliance does not preclude either party from sole development nor from entering into Agreements with third parties. The Lake Way Project comprises four contiguous Exploration Licence Applications, 53/1178, 53/1180, 53/1193 and 53/1194. The tenements are located immediately east and up to 50km north of the Wiluna townsite in the Eastern Goldfields Province of W.A.The Project adjoins Nova Energy Limited’s calcrete hosted Lake Way uranium deposit and is just to the east of Agincourt Resources Limited’s Wiluna Gold Mine. The area is known to contain calcrete hosted uranium mineralisation from historic drilling, with significant low grade mineralisation being intersected in widely spaced drill holes to the south of Uramurdah Well along Uramurdah Creek.The mineralisation remains open to the north and east of the existing drill holes. Landsat Data mapping of the area to the north east of Uramurdah Well is similar in character to Nova’s Lakeway deposit. A drilling program was initially proposed across the area by a previous explorer, but was not undertaken due to logistical problems. Additionally analysis of regional radiometric data has highlighted an extensive corridor of sporadically anomalous uranium associated with known palaeochannels and some areas of outcropping calcrete. A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w 9 JOINT VENTURE PROJECTS The Company has several Joint Ventures that allow shareholders to be exploration to exploration success at no cost to the Company including: Quartz Circle, Jutson Rocks and Northampton Projects Graynic Metals Ltd – Earning 80% The Company has divested an 80% interest in the Quartz Circle, Jutson Rocks and Northampton Projects to Graynic Metals Ltd (ASX Code: GYN) for a total of 10,000,000 shares being approximately 39% (post IPO) of the issued capital in Graynic. Graynic successfully listed on the ASX on June 30th raising $2.5M. Cazaly distributed the 10 million Graynic shares to its shareholders by way of an in speci distribution on the basis of one Graynic share for approximately every four Cazaly shares. The deal is entirely consistent with the Company’s stated goal of returning shareholder value and relates to a capital return of approximately 4.98 cents per share.This is another example of the Company providing shareholders with value. Whilst Cazaly is cognisant of the strong outlook of base metals including copper, nickel, lead and zinc we are also aware that our very strong land position and existing resource base at Kalgoorlie demands focused exploration. Cazaly, and its shareholders, retain significant exposure to the projects through its 20% equity and through the in speci distribution of Graynic stock. Graynic has recently completed initial RC pre-collar drilling at the Quartz Circle project with follow up diamond core drilling due to commence shortly. Initial results were encouraging with results from the pre-collars including; 12m @ 2.07% Zn and 1.12% Pb (GM5, 4m @ 4.48% Zn (GM 7) and 24m @ 1.49% Zn (GM 9). Geological mapping in this area also discovered Zn bearing gossans with up to 2.9% Zn from rock chips being recorded. EAST KALGOORLIE JOINT VENTURE (Northern Mining Ltd – Earning 75%) Northern Mining Ltd (planning to list on the ASX) are paying the Company $200,000 cash and issuing 3,250,000 vendor shares and completing 15,000m of reverse circulation drilling to earn an initial 75% of the East Kalgoorlie project. MOUNT CARRINGTON (Drake Resources Ltd. - Earning 90%) The Company recently concluded an Option and Sale Agreement with Drake Resources Limited (“Drake”) for 90% of Cazaly’s interest in the Mount Carrington Project. The Mount Carrington project is a polymetallic (primarily gold and silver) project situated within the north-central part of the New England Fold belt in the northern goldfields of New South Wales. The project has a long history of mining. During the 1980s large scale open cut gold mining operations were undertaken with mining ceasing in 1990 following increasing metallurgical and grade control difficulties encountered once the mining reached the primary ore zones.These difficulties were believed to be largely due to the polymetallic nature of the orebody, with respect to the CIL plant being used, and a poor understanding, at the time, of the geological controls. The project is currently Drake’s major focus and a large drilling programme is currently underway. MENZIES (Great Australian Resources Ltd. - Earning 80%) The company has reached agreement with Great Australian Resources Ltd (“GAR”) whereby GAR may earn an 80% interest in the Menzies project. As part of the agreement GAR is obliged to conduct a minimum of 1,000 metres of drilling. GAR has already conducted some drilling over the project testing a small number targets mainly based on the Cigar Prospect. The drilling intersected mainly mafics and some key mineralised structures with several encouraging gold hits indicating that the mineralisation is open along strike both to the north and south. GAR also drilled 2 RC holes into a sulphide nickel target. Results were very encouraging and included; 9m @ 1.31% Ni and 10m @ 0.9% Ni. Follow up magnetic, electromagnetic and geochemical surveys are planned at the prospect. C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 10 P r o j e c t s R e v i e w Summary The company has again had a highly active year further advancing its assets.The company has expanded its tenure and resource base in the Kalgoorlie region and has grown its global resources.This has been followed up with detailed exploration and good exploration success from drilling particularly at Kunanalling where the majority of work in the year has been conducted. The Company has entered a mining agreement with Placer Dome and has begun exploration in the Grants Patch/Ora Banda region. The company has also expanded its project base through applications over the Shovelanna iron ore project and several uranium projects. Cazaly is well positioned to take advantage of rising commodity prices through its aggressive exploration and development programmes and looks forward to another active year ahead.

The Burgundy resources utilised cut off grades of 0.8, 1.0 and 1.5 g/t Au for the oxide, transition and fresh rock zones respectively. SG data for the majority of the resources is based upon measured samples where available and where absent, values were based upon data from nearby resources in similar geological settings. The economic entity has continued to be very active during the past quarter with ongoing successful exploration at Kunanalling and has further advanced its mining prospects. The controls one of the largest land positions in the Kalgoorlie region and has expanded exploration into the adjoining areas at Ora Banda and Grants Patch. Drilling in the Castle Hill region at Kunanalling has resulted in the discovery of a new resource at Picante (330,000t @ 3.72 g/t Au) and the delineation of several other targets which will be further drilled in the forthcoming quarter. The economic entity has also recently made applications for two areas in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia covering area prospective for uranium mineralisation. The economic entity has made application for Exploration Licence 46/678 which to lies approximately 25 kilometres east of Mt. Newman. The application covers a portion of the Brockman Iron Formation and is located within 2 kilometres of the Shovelanna Hill, Wheelarra Hill Orebody 31 and Mt. Newman Orebody 17. Open file data indicates that the Shovelanna Hill orebody is partially located on the Cazaly tenement application. This will be confirmed by field checking during the current field season. The economic entity has also seen the successful listing of Graynic Metals Limited who will advance the Quartz Circle, Jutson Rocks and Northampton projects. Additionally some very prospective uranium ground was applied for during the quarter. Financial Position The net assets of the economic entity have increased by approximately $2,850,000 from 30 June 2004 to $7,276,637 in 2005 due largely to the issue of shares to raise additional funds and acquire exploration assets. The economic entity currently has $1.66 million in cash assets which the Directors believe puts the economic entity in a sound financial position with sufficient capital to effectively explore its current landholdings. A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t 13 5.

REMUNERATION REPORT This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Cazaly Resources Limited. Remuneration Policy The remuneration policy of Cazaly Resources Limited has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates.The board of Cazaly Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors to run and manage the company, as well as create goal congruence between directors and shareholders. The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members is as follows: The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior staff members, was developed by the managing director and approved by the board after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants. In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board seeks independent advice on local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and conditions for employee incentive schemes, benefit plans and share plans. Independent advice is obtained to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward practices. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation and fringe benefits. The economic entity is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions, within the same industry.The Board however acquired and were issued shares as part of the terms of the Initial Public Offer. Board members have retained these securities which assist in aligning their objectives with overall shareholder value. Options and performance incentives will be issued in the event that the entity moves from an exploration entity to a producing entity, and key performance indicators such as profits and growth can be used as measurements for assessing Board performance. The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9% and do not receive any other retirement benefits. All remuneration paid to directors is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares given to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 16 D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t 11. REMUNERATION REPORT (CONT.) The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The managing director in consultation with independent advisors determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company. Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. This has been achieved by the issue of shares to the majority of the directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interest.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report covers the economic entity of Cazaly Resources Limited and controlled entities, and Cazaly Resources Limited as an individual parent entity. Cazaly Resources Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. (a) Plant and Equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. 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 which will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Plant and equipment Office furniture and equipment Motor vehicle Leasehold improvements Depreciation Rate 40.0% 18.0% 22.5% Term of Lease (b) Income tax The economic entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the loss from ordinary activities adjusted for any permanent differences. 24 N o t e s t o t h e F i n a n c i a l S t a t e m e n t s C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of accounting profit and taxable income are brought to account as either a provision for deferred income tax or as a future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable. Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless there is virtual certainty of realisation of the benefit. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Cazaly Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries intend to form an income tax consolidation group under the Tax Consolidation Regime. Cazaly Resources Limited is responsible for recognising the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax consolidation group. (c) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through successful development on the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserve. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest area amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. (d) Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the economic entity are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the economic entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. (e) Investment Shares in listed companies held as current assets are valued by directors at those shares' market value at each balance date.The gains or losses, whether realised or unrealised, are included in profit from ordinary activities before income tax. Non-current investments are measured on cost basis.The carrying amount of non-current investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments.The recoverable amount is assessed from the quoted market value for listed investments or the underlying net assets for other non-listed investments. The expected net cash flows from investments have not been discounted to their present value in determining the recoverable amounts. N o t e s t o t h e F i n a n c i a l S t a t e m e n t s 25 A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (f) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to members for the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity, by the weighted average number or ordinary shares of the economic entity, adjusted for any bonus issue. (g) Revenue Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. (h) Cash For the purpose of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts. (i) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the economic entity liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Contributions are made by the economic entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. (j) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. (k) Recoverable amounts of Non-Current assets valued on cost basis The carrying amount of non-current assets valued on the cost basis, other than exploration expenditure carried forward (see Note 1c) are reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount at reporting date. If the carrying value of a non-current asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the lower amount.The write down is expensed in the reporting period in which it occurs. In accessing recoverable amount, the relevant cash flows have not been discounted to their present value. (l) Comparative Cazaly Resources Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary Hayes Mining Pty Ltd was acquired on 1 July 2004. Comparative results for the 2004 period therefore only display the results of the Parent entity. 26 N o t e s t o t h e F i n a n c i a l S t a t e m e n t s C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (m) Principles of Consolidation A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Cazaly Resources Limited. Control exists where Cazaly Resources Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Cazaly Resources Limited to achieve the objectives of Cazaly Resources Limited. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 20 of the financial report. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. Outside interests in the entity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report. (n) Impact of Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards The economic entity is preparing and managing the transition to Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) effective for the financial years commencing from 1 January 2005.The adoption of AIFRS will be reflected in the economic entity financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2006. On first time adoption of AIFRS, comparatives for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 are required to be restated.The majority of the AIFRS transitional adjustments will be made retrospectively against retained earnings at 1 July 2004. The economic entity’s management, with the assistance of external consultants, has assessed the significance of the expected changes and is preparing for their implementation.The impact of the alternative treatments and elections under AASB 1: First Time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards has been considered where applicable. The directors are of the opinion that the key material differences in the economic entity accounting policies on conversion to AIFRS and the financial effect of these differences, where known, are as follows. Users of the financial statements should note, however, that the amounts disclosed could change if there are any amendments by standard- setters to the current AIFRS or interpretation of the AIFRS requirements changes from the continuing work of the economic entity Board of Directors. i) Impairment of Assets Under AASB 136: Impairment of Assets, the recoverable amount of an asset is determined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell, and value in use. In determining value in use, projected future cash flows are discounted using a risk adjusted pre-tax discount rate and impairment is assessed for the individual asset or at the ‘cash generating unit’ level. A ‘cash generating unit’ is determined as the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.The current policy is to determine the recoverable amount of an asset on the basis of undiscounted net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s use and subsequent disposal. It is likely that this change in accounting policy will lead to impairments being recognised more often. Whilst, as stated, it is likely that in future impairments will be recognised more often in the future, the company estimates that there is no additional impairment to be recognised on the value of the assets subject to this standard as at 1 July 2005. N o t e s t o t h e F i n a n c i a l S t a t e m e n t s 27 A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) ii) Non-current Investments Under AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, financial assets are required to be classified into four categories, which determines the accounting treatment of the item.The categories and various treatments are: – held to maturity, measured at amortised cost; – held for trading, measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses charged to the profit and loss; – loans and receivables, measured at amortised cost; and – available for sale instruments, measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses taken to equity The economic entity financial assets comprise available for sale financial instruments. Under AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the measurement of available for sale instruments at fair value differs to current accounting policy which measures non-current investments at cost with an annual review by directors to ensure the carrying amounts are not in excess of the recoverable value of the instrument. The impact of the change is likely to increase the value of non-current other financial assets in relation to available for sale instruments. AASB 1 provides an election whereby the requirements of AASB 139 dealing with financial instruments are not required to be applied to the first AIFRS comparative year, and the first time adoption of this standard will apply from 1 July 2005.The economic entity has decided that it will adopt this election and will not restate comparative information for the 30 June 2005 financial year. iii) Share Based Payments Under current Australian GAAP, no expense is recognised for options issued to employees. Under AIFRS, the fair value of options granted must be recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity.The fair value will be measured at grant date taking into account market performance conditions only, and will be spread over the vesting period during which the employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the options.The fair value of the options will be measured using the Black Scholes model. No adjustment is expected in either the economic entity as all options on issue were both granted & vested prior to 1st January 2005. iv) Exploration Expenditure AASB 6 was issued in December 2004 to facilitate the introduction of AIFRS in relation to the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure, pending the completion of a comprehensive project on accounting for extractive industries. According to AASB 6, it is expected that the outcome will be a revised extractive industries standard that will replace AASB 6. AASB 6 retains the concept of area of interest accounting. However, unlike AASB 1022, AASB 6 provides that for each area of interest, expenditures incurred in the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources shall be either expensed or partially or fully capitalised Unlike AASB 1022, AASB 6 specifically excludes expenditure incurred before the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources, such as expenditures incurred before the entity has obtained the legal rights to explore a specific area. There are anticipated to be no significant impacts to the economic entity. v) Income Tax Currently, the economic entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the accounting profit adjusted for any permanent differences.Timing differences are currently brought to account as either a provision for deferred income tax or future income tax benefit. Under AASB 112: Income Taxes, the entity will be required to adopt a balance sheet approach under which temporary differences are identified for each asset and liability rather than the effects of the timing and permanent differences between taxable income and accounting profit. There are anticipated to be no significant impacts to the economic entity. 28 N o t e s t o t h e F i n a n c i a l S t a t e m e n t s C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.) (o) Joint Venture Entities A joint venture entity is an entity in which Cazaly holds a long-term interest and which is jointly controlled by Cazaly and one or more other venturers. Decisions regarding the financial and operating policies essential to the activities, economic performance and financial position of that venture require the consent of each of the venturers that together jointly control the entity. Joint Venture Operations Cazaly has certain contractual arrangements with other participants to engage in joint activities where all significant matters of operating and financial policy are determined by the participants such that the operation itself has no significant independence to pursue its own commercial strategy.These contractual arrangements do not create a joint venture entity due to the fact that the policies are those of the participants, not a separate entity carrying on a trade or a business of its own. The financial statements of Cazaly include its share of the assets, liabilities and cash flows in such joint venture operations, measured in accordance with the terms of each arrangement, which is usually pro-rata to Cazaly’s interest in the joint venture operations. (p) Royalty Assets Royalty assets are valued in the accounts at cost of acquisition and are amortised over the period in which their benefits are expected to be realised. The balances are reviewed annually and any balance representing future benefits for which the realisation is considered to be no longer probable are written off. 2.

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report. Audit approach We have conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the Company. Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free of material misstatement.The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal controls, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence.Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company’s and the economic entity’s financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows. We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included: - examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and - assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors. While we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls. C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 46 Independence We are independent of the company, and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001 In accordance with ASIC Class Order 05/83, we declare to the best of our knowledge and belief that the auditor’s declaration set out on page 19 of the financial report has not changed as at the date of providing our audit opinion.

Board Committees 2.1 Audit Committee Due to the size and scale of operations of the Company the full Board undertakes the role of the Audit Committee. Below is a summary of the role and responsibilities of an Audit Committee. 54 a d d i t i o n a l s h a r e h o l d e r i n f o r m a t i o n C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 2.1.1 Role The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and overseeing the independence of the external auditors. As the whole Board only consists of three (3) members, the Company does not have an audit committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues and an audit committee cannot be justified based on a cost-benefit analysis. However, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Company is moving towards establishing an audit committee consisting primarily of Independent Directors. In the absence of an audit committee, the Board sets aside time to deal with issues and responsibilities usually delegated to the audit committee to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the external auditor. 2.1.2 Responsibilities The Audit Committee or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company reviews the audited annual and half- yearly financial statements and any reports which accompany published financial statements and recommends their approval to the members. The Audit Committee or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company each year reviews the appointment of the external auditor, their independence, the audit fee, and any questions of resignation or dismissal. The Audit Committee or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company is also responsible for establishing policies on risk oversight and management. 2.1.3 Risk Management Policies The Board’s Charter clearly establishes that it is responsible for ensuring there is a good sound system for overseeing and managing risk. Due to the size and scale of operations, risk management issues are considered by the Board as a whole. On 30 September 2005 Mr Nathan McMahon (Managing Director) and Mr Kent Hunter (Company Secretary) provided the Board with written assurance that the financial statements are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance.Their statement assured the Board that the risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects. 2.2 Remuneration Committee Role 2.2.1 The role of a Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of establishing appropriate remuneration levels and incentive policies for employees. As the whole Board only consists of three (3) members, the Company does not have a remuneration committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues. 2.2.2 Responsibilities The responsibilities of a Remuneration Committee, or the full Board include setting policies for senior officers’ remuneration, setting the terms and conditions of employment for the Chief Executive Officer, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on the Company’s incentive schemes and superannuation arrangements, reviewing the remuneration of both Executive and Non-Executive Directors and making recommendations on any proposed changes and undertaking reviews of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance, including, setting with the Chief Executive Officer goals and reviewing progress in achieving those goals. a d d i t i o n a l s h a r e h o l d e r i n f o r m a t i o n 55 A n n u a l R e p o r t 0 5 2.2.3 Remuneration Policy Directors’ Remuneration was approved by resolution of the Board on 8 September 2003. 2.2.3.1 Senior Executive Remuneration Policy The Company is committed to remunerating its senior executives in a manner that is market-competitive and consistent with best practice as well as supporting the interests of shareholders. Consequently, under the Senior Executive Remuneration Policy the remuneration of senior executive may be comprised of the following: fixed salary that is determined from a review of the market and reflects core performance requirements and expectations; a performance bonus designed to reward actual achievement by the individual of performance objectives and for materially improved Company performance; participation in any share/option scheme with thresholds approved by shareholders; statutory superannuation. By remunerating senior executives through performance and long-term incentive plans in addition to their fixed remuneration the Company aims to align the interests of senior executives with those of shareholders and increase Company performance. During the year there were no Non-Director Executives. The value of shares and options were they to be granted to senior executives would be calculated using the Black and Scholes method. The objective behind using this remuneration structure is to drive improved Company performance and thereby increase shareholder value as well as aligning the interests of executives and shareholders. The Board may use its discretion with respect to the payment of bonuses, stock options and other incentive payments. 2.2.3.2 Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy Non-Executive Directors are to be paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance based bonuses and do not participate in equity schemes of the Company. Non-Executive Directors are entitled to but not necessarily paid statutory superannuation. 2.2.4 Current Director Remuneration Full details regarding the remuneration of Directors, is included in the Directors’ Report. 2.3 Nomination Committee 2.3.1 Role The role of a Nomination Committee is to help achieve a structured Board that adds value to the Company by ensuring an appropriate mix of skills are present in Directors on the Board at all times. As the whole Board only consists of three (3) members, the Company does not have a nomination committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues. 2.3.2 Responsibilities The responsibilities of a Nomination Committee would include devising criteria for Board membership, regularly reviewing the need for various skills and experience on the Board and identifying specific individuals for nomination as Directors for review by the Board. The Nomination Committee would also oversee management succession plans including the CEO and his/her direct reports and evaluate the Board’s performance and make recommendations for the appointment and removal of Directors. Currently the Board as a whole performs this role. 56 s c h e d u l e o f m i n e r a l t e n e m e n t s C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 2.3.3 Criteria for selection of Directors Directors are appointed based on the specific governance skills required by the Company. Given the size of the Company and the business that it operates, the Company aims at all times to have at least one Director with experience appropriate to the Company’s target market. financial management and Director-level business experience. In addition, Directors should have the relevant blend of personal experience in accounting and 3. Company Code Of Conduct The Board has decided against the implementation of a code of conduct as it does not believe that it is in the best interests of its employees or other stakeholders to have what purports to be an exhaustive code of conduct.The Board feels that such a code may be too prescriptive and not allow the employees the discretion they need to best serve the Company’s stakeholders.
