DIRECTORS The names of directors in office at any time during or since the end of the year are: Nathan McMahon Clive Jones Kent Hunter Directors have been in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated. COMPANY SECRETARY The following person held the position of company secretary at the end of the financial year: Kent Hunter - B Bus, CA Lisa Wynne was appointed to the role 6 August 2007 following Kent Hunter’s resignation. Ms Wynne has a Bachelor of Commerce and is a Chartered Accountant with 6 years experience working with listed entities in senior financial roles responsible for management and financial reporting, taxation, and ensuring continuous disclosure and compliance. Lisa presently works with a number of emerging ASX and AIM listed resource companies and specialises in financial and company secretarial transaction and corporate work. 2. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activity of the economic entity during the financial period was mineral exploration. There were no significant changes in the nature of the economic entity’s principal activities during the financial period. 3. OPERATING RESULTS The gain of the economic entity after providing for income tax amounted to $1,197,992 (2006: Loss $6,369,945). 4. DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no amount has been paid or declared by way of a dividend to the date of this report. 5. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Shovelanna Iron Ore Project - Current On 28 August 2007, the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Western Australia unanimously refused to quash the Minister's decision to terminate the application by Cazaly Iron Pty Ltd for exploration 46/678 under s 111A(1)(c)(ii) of the Mining Act 1978 (WA). On 25 September 2007, having sought advice from Mr Tom Bathurst QC, Cazaly lodged an application for special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia in respect of the decision of the Court of Appeal. 3 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t Cazaly must lodge a summary of its argument and draft appeal notice by 23 October 2007. Cazaly has been informally advised by the High Court that the application for special leave to appeal will likely be heard between 3 and 9 months from the date it was lodged, which means that the application will be heard sometime between January and June 2008. Should Cazaly be successful in obtaining leave to appeal, the substantive application would likely be heard by the High Court 3 to 9 months thereafter. On the 28th August 2007 the Western Australian Court of Appeal delivered its judgment in relation to Cazaly Iron Pty Ltd's application to quash the decision of the former Minister for Resources to terminate Cazaly's application.The Court of Appeal has refused Cazaly's application to quash the decision and has specifically ordered that: 1 the order nisi made on 11 August 2006 be discharged; 2 Cazaly's application for declaratory and other relief be dismissed; 3 Cazaly pay the costs of the first and second respondents, to be taxed; and 4 The limits provided for in relevant items of the Legal Practitioners (Supreme Court) (Contentious Business) Determination be removed. The Company would like to make clear that the judgment related only to the legal issues raised by the decision made by former Minister Bowler. It was neither a review of the commercial nor policy merits of the Minister's decision.The Company continues to contend that the former Minister's decision is fundamentally flawed. Cazaly believes this judgment has jeopardised the future development of the Western Australian resources industry and in particular the iron ore industry. It is clear from this judgment that iron ore has, and is, being treated differently to any other commodity under the WA Mining Act -it has its own set of rules. It has been extremely difficult to reconcile this decision with what is in the best interests of the State and appears as an impediment to anybody wanting to get on with the business of finding and developing the State’s resources. This decision goes right against the very values that underpin the WA Mining Act, which is held up by the industry and all its stakeholders to be pro-development, transparent in its actions and most of all fair. It is particularly important that we and the industry as a whole be made aware of the rationale behind the decision so that we can all make fully informed investment decisions in a totally transparent environment. Shovelanna – Background Since lodging the application for this project Cazaly had planned for the accelerated development of the Shovelanna Iron Ore Project and completed: • An agreement with Echelon Resources Limited who will commit the first $2.5 million towards exploring the project. $6M programme planned. • A Scoping study for project development • A project financing agreement with Investec Bank • An MOU for the sale of ore with BHP Billiton • Historical data assessment and a resource estimate. The projected royalty stream to the State at current prices would have been approximately +$20M commencing within three years of access to the ground. Cazaly and its partners have always maintained that they have not only the financial and technical ability, but more importantly the will and the commitment to develop the project in the best interests of their shareholders, the Pilbara region and the State of Western Australia. 4 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t 5. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Cont’d) West Kalgoorlie Gold Project Cazaly has reached Agreement with Carbine Resources Ltd whereby Carbine will earn a 50 percent stake, with an option to increase to 70 percent, in Cazaly’s entire gold exploration and development portfolio in the Kunanalling, Ora Banda, Grants Patch, Carbine and Split Rocks regions.These tenements cover approximately 533 square kilometres and contain mineral resources of 612,400 ounces of gold This agreement combines the project development skills of Carbine with the geology, exploration and tenement management prowess of Cazaly. 1. Carbine will pay Cazaly a management fee of $41,700 per month over a period of 12 months commencing from the date that the agreement is formalised. 2. Carbine will issue Cazaly with 2,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares in Carbine, with these shares voluntarily escrowed for a period of 6 months. 3. On or before the first anniversary of the agreement, Carbine will pay a further $1,000,000 either, at Carbine’s election, by cash or by 50/50 combined cash and Carbine shares, with the issue price of the shares being the 30-day volume weighted average price (30 day VWAP) as calculated on the day prior to payment date.This payment will give Carbine an initial 35% stake in the projects. 4. Carbine undertakes to fund exploration on the project areas equivalent to $4,500,000 over a period of no more than 36 months after the date of the agreement. On completion of this expenditure commitment, Carbine will have earned a 50% stake in the projects. 5. Any mine developments on the project areas will be funded entirely by Carbine. Carbine will then be entitled to recoup its investment (included accumulated interest charges) before sharing operating cash flows on a 50/50 basis with Cazaly. 6. Carbine will assume the role of Manager of the joint venture on completion of the payments mentioned in item 1.To that end it has undertaken to use the professional services of Cazaly’s existing geology team and has agreed to reimburse Cazaly direct costs plus 12 percent management fee for these services. 7. Any proceeds from the agreed sale, transfer or relinquishment of tenements in the project areas during the period up to completion of the earn-in commitments, shall be shared 50% Cazaly, 50% Carbine. The transaction is subject to all existing pre-emptive rights being waived, as well as standard clauses associated with Ministerial approval of tenement ownership transferral. The joint venture intends to commence exploration drilling in June 2007 and has already secured drilling equipment for this programme. Drilling will initially focus on prospects along the Kunanalling shear, principally the Mick Adam, Wadi, Burgundy and Picante deposits. Additionally, mine development options will be re-assessed as a priority. The joint venture allows Cazaly to focus on its iron ore strategy whilst maintaining exposure to a strategic package of tenement that it has spent a considerable amount of time and effort assembling. The Agreement is consistent with the Company’s focus on the iron ore sector whilst retaining exposure to the quality gold assets. Recent drilling at the Backflip prospect has been highly encouraging with the best results being 9 metres @ 16g/t Au. Explorations is continuing. Parker Range Joint Venture Cazaly Resources Ltd (ASX:CAZ) entered into an iron ore farm-in agreement with Gondwana Resources Ltd (ASX:GDA), covering the Parker Range Project. Details of the farm-in agreement were announced by GDA 3rd July 2007.The Parker Range Project lies approximately 15 kilometres south-east of the Marvel Loch town site and approximately 50 kilometres by road south of the Perth–Kalgoorlie rail. Potential exists for the delineation of an iron mineral resource. Parker Range is a prominent north trending ridge some 13km long. Cazaly mobilized a field crew and exploration mapping was completed at the Parker Range tenements, with the focus on the Mt Caudan banded iron formation (BIF). A total of 21 5 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t rockchip samples were taken along the BIF, over 1.5km, with continuous mineralisation noted for 900m. Eight (8) samples returned assay results greater than 60% Fe, see Table 1.

The Yilgarn Iron Province has a history of large-scale iron production, with the first iron ore exported from Western Australia coming from the Koolanooka deposit in the Yilgarn during the mid 1960s. More recently, iron ore mining in the Yilgarn has been characterised by modest production from several small and dispersed hematite deposits, such as Koolyanobbing.The Parker Range Project was subject to iron ore exploration during the 1960s and reconnaissance exploration identified goethite, hematite and magnetite mineralisation. Other Projects The Company retains significant free-carried interests in other exploration projects including Mt. Clifford, Goongarrie, Bardoc and Jutson Rocks, among others.The Company has several active exploration projects including additional Pilbara Iron ore tenements and the Jillewarra base metals project. Corporate The Company recently completed a placement of 5.75M shares @ $0.60 with institutional shareholders to raise a further $3.45M. During the year the Joint Managing Director’s exercised 750,000 options raising a further $295,250. The Company retains a significant shareholding in several ASX listed entities including; Newera Uranium Limited (ASX:NRU), Northern Mining Ltd (ASX:NMI), Whinnen Resources Ltd (ASX:WWW) and Trafford Resources Ltd (ASX:TRF). 6 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t Financial Position The net assets of the economic entity have increased by $517,488 from 30 June 2006 to $10.2 million in 2007 due largely to the issue of shares to raise additional funds, exercise and acquire exploration assets. The economic entity currently has $545,813 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. Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies The economic entity will continue its mineral exploration activity at and around its exploration projects with the object of identifying commercial resources. The economic entity will also continue to identifying new mineral exploration opportunities within Australia and the rest of the world for further potential acquisitions which may offer value enhancing opportunities for shareholders. 6.

REMUNERATION REPORT Directorships of other listed companies Directorships of other listed companies held by directors in the three years immediately before the end of the financial year are as follows: Name Company Period of directorship Nathan McMahon Clive Jones Kent Hunter Graynic Metals Limited Bannerman Resources Limited Catalyst Metals Limited Northern Mining Limited Hodges Resources Limited Jackson Gold Limited Graynic Metals Limited Cortona Resources Limited Bannerman Resources Elixir Petroleum Limited Scimitar Resources Limited Venture Minerals Limited Hamill Resources Limited Gryphon Minerals Limited Since February 2005 Since June 2007 Since July 2007 From April 2005 to December 2006 Since May 2007 Since March 2002 Since February 2005 Since January 2006 Since January 2007 Since March 2004 Since November 2002 Since May 2006 From November 2000 to September 2004 Since January 2004 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 have been issued to Board members to provide a mechanism to participate in the future development of the Company and an incentive for their future involvement with and commitment to the Company. 9 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d D i r e c t o r s ’ R e p o r t 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. 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, Australian Accounting Interpretations, 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 complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and available for-sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The following is a summary of the accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial information.The accounting policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. (a) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the Economic Entity, being the Company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 127 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements. On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired exceed the cost of acquisition, the deficiency is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition. The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the Economic Entity are eliminated in full. (b) Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, including freehold buildings but excluding land. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and equipment Office furniture and equipment Motor vehicle Leasehold improvements 40.0% 18.0% 22.5% Term of Lease 19 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 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) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure Costs incurred during exploration and evaluation related to an area of interest are accumulated. Costs carried forward provided such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development, or by sale, or where exploration and evaluation activities have not at balance date reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment regarding the existence of economically recoverable reserves. In these instances the entity must have rights of tenure to the area of interest and must be continuing to undertake exploration operations in the area. These assets are considered for impairment on an annual basis, depending on the existence of impairment indicators including: • the period for which the Economic Entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; • substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; • exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Economic Entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and • sufficient key data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. Costs carried forward in respect of an area of interest that is abandoned are written off in the year in which the decision to abandon is made. (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) Other Financial Assets Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transactions costs.The Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace. (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. 20 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’d) (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 Company 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. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. (f) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. (g) Trade and Other Receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the entity will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. (h) Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). 21 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 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 (i) Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the Economic Entity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from the other assets, the Economic Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generated unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase. (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 (“ATO”). 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 balance sheet 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 balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement 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) Taxation The Economic Entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profit from ordinary activities adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 22 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’d) 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. (l) Foreign Currency All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at that date. (m) Trade and Other Payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. (n) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Economic Entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be reliably measured. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. (o) Share Based Payments Equity-settled share based payments granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested as of 1 January 2005, are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of a binomial model.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, based on the Economic Entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest. For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date. (p) Issued Capital Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received. 23 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 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 (q) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for an bonus element. Diluted EPS is calculated as net earnings attributable to members, adjusted for: costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that would have been recognised as expenses; and other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. (r) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Economic Entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. 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. CIES (Cont’d) (s) 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. 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. (t) 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. 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 Economic Entity Parent Entity 2007 $ 2006 $ 2007 $ 2006 $ 2.

Directors Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001.This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with IFRS.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit.

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 judgment, 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 and the remuneration disclosures in the directors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 46 Independence In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has turned to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations.The Company is pleased to advise that the Company’s practices are largely consistent with those ASX guidelines. As consistency with the guidelines has been a gradual process, where the Company did not have certain policies or committees recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (the Council) in place during the reporting period, we have identified such policies or committees. 49 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 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 Where the Company’s corporate governance practices do not correlate with the practices recommended by the Council, the Company is working towards compliance however it does not consider that all the practices are appropriate for the Company due to the size and scale of Company operations. To illustrate where the Company has addressed each of the Council’s recommendations, the following table cross-references each recommendation with sections of this report.The table does not provide the full text of each recommendation but rather the topic covered. Details of all of the recommendations can be found on the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s website at.http://www.asx.com.au/supervision/governance/index.htm Recommendation Recommendation 1.1 Recommendation 2.1 Recommendation 2.2 Recommendation 2.3 Recommendation 2.4 Recommendation 2.5 Recommendation 3.1 Recommendation 3.2 Recommendation 3.3 Recommendation 4.1 Recommendation 4.2 Recommendation 4.3 Recommendation 4.4 Recommendation 4.5 Recommendation 5.1 Recommendation 5.2 Recommendation 6.1 Recommendation 6.2 Recommendation 7.1 Recommendation 7.2 Recommendation 7.3 Recommendation 8.1 Recommendation 9.1 Recommendation 9.2 Recommendation 9.3 Recommendation 9.4 Recommendation 9.5 Recommendation 10.1 Functions of the Board and Management Independent Directors Independent Chairman Role of the Chairman and CEO Establishment of Nomination Committee Reporting on Principle 2 Directors’ and Key Executives’ Code of Conduct Company Security Trading Policy Reporting on Principle 3 Attestations by CEO and CFO Establishment of Audit Committee Structure of Audit Committee Audit Committee Charter Reporting on Principle 4 Policy for Compliance with Continuous Disclosure Reporting on Principle 5 Communications Strategy Attendance of Auditor at General Meetings Policies on Risk Oversight and Management Attestations by CEO and CFO Reporting on Principle 7 Evaluation of Board, Directors and Key Executives Remuneration Policies Establishment of Remuneration Committee Executive and Non-Executive Director Remuneration Equity-Based Executive Remuneration Reporting on Principle 9 Company Code of Conduct Section 1.1 1.2 1.2 1.2 2.3 1.2, 1.4.6, 2.3.2 and the Directors’ Report 1.1 1.4.9 1.1 and 1.4.9 1.4.11 2.1 2.1.2 2.1 2.1 1.4.4 1.4.4 1.4.8 1.4.8 2.1.3 1.4.11 2.1.3 1.4.10 2.2.4 2.2 2.2.4.1 and 2.2.4.2 2.2.4.1 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 3 1.

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules the Company immediately notifies the ASX of information: • concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities; and • that would, or would be likely to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether to acquire or dispose of the Company’s securities. 52 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 1.4.5 Education and Induction It is the policy of the Company that new Directors undergo an induction process in which they are given a full briefing on the Company. Where possible this includes meetings with key executives, tours of the premises, an induction package and presentations. Information conveyed to new Directors include: • details of the roles and responsibilities of a Director; • formal policies on Director appointment as well as conduct and contribution expectations; • access to a copy of the Board Charter; • guidelines on how the Board processes function; • details of past, recent and likely future developments relating to the Board; • background information on and contact information for key people in the organisation; • an analysis of the Company; • a synopsis of the current strategic direction of the Company; and • a copy of the Constitution of the Company.

The Company also makes available a telephone number and email address for shareholders to make enquiries of the Company. 1.4.9 Trading in Company Shares Due to the size of the Company, the Board does not consider it appropriate to implement a Share Trading Policy. Rather, it reminds directors, officers and employees of the prohibition in the Corporations Act 2001 concerning trading in the Company’s securities when in possession of “inside information”. 1.4.10 Performance Review/Evaluation It is the policy of the Board to conduct evaluation of its performance.The evaluation process was introduced via the Board Charter adopted on 30 June 2005 and will be implemented for the financial year ended 30 June 2006.The objective of this evaluation will be to provide best practice corporate governance to the Company. 53 C a z a l y R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d 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 Attestations by CEO and CFO 1.4.11 It is the Board’s policy, that the CEO and the CFO make the attestations recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council as to the Company’s financial condition prior to the Board signing the Annual Report. However, as at the date of this report the Company does not have a designated CEO or CFO. Due to the size and scale of operations of the Company these roles are performed by the Board as a whole. 2. Board Committees 2.1Audit 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. 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 28 September 2006 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 2.2.1 Role 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. 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 2.2.2 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. 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.

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. 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. In addition, Directors should have the relevant blend of personal experience in accounting and financial management and Director-level business experience. 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. 56 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 SCHEDULE OF MINERAL TENEMENTS AS AT 25 SEPTEMBER 2007 PROJECTS TENEMENTS PROJECTS TENEMENTS 7 MILE HILL ACACIA BORE ALBION DOWNS ALBION DOWNS JV ALICE HILL BANDALUP JV BARDOC JV (35%) BARE HILL BELELE BIG BEN BLACKFLAG BONNEY DOWNS BOUNTY BRITISH WELL BURBANKS CARBINE PARKER RANGE CHEELIA PLAINS CHRISTMAS BORE CLIFFORD MT COOLGARDIE COSMO NEWBERRY COSMOS NORTH JV COWAN EAST KALGOORLIE JV ETHEL CREEK FE-BONNEY DOWNS FE-BOYWURUP FE-HAMMERSLEY FE-MT CECIL RHODES_ FE-OPTHAMALIA RANGE FE-PILBARA FORRESTANIA JV GALILEE GOONGARRIE JV WEST KALGOORLIE JV GREAT VIC DESERT JENNY WREN JILLEWARRA JV JONES CREEK JUTSON ROCKS JV KARUKAI 1 ELA 1 ELA 1 ELA 5 PL'S 1 EL, 2 ELA'S 1 ELA 1 ELA 1 EL 10 PL'S 3 MLA'S, 26 PL'S, 8 PL'S 1 ELA 1 ELA 1 EL 1 EL, 1 ELA, 4 MLA'S, 6 PL'S, 6 PLA'S 1 ELA 1 EL 2 ELA'S 3 EL'S 1 ELA 1 ELA 2 EL'S, 2 MLA'S, 11 PL'S 4 PL'A 1 PLA 1 EL 3 PL'S KEEP RIVER 1 ELA KILLANIA 1 EL KILLI KILLI HILLS 1EL, 3 ELA'S, 1 PL KINTORE 1 EL KURINELLI 1 ELA 1 EL LAKE HINDS 3 ML'S, 1 MLA, 16 PL'S, 3 PLA LAKE LEFROY 1 EL 1 PLA 1 ELA 1 PL, 7 PLA'S 1 ELA 1 EL 2 PLA'S LAKEWAY LYNAS FIND JV MENZIES JV MT DUGEL MT ISABEL MT VETTERS MT VETTERS JV 4 PLA'S 1 PL, 1 PLA 1 EL 1 EL 2 PL'S 1 EL, 3 PL'S 1 ELA 1EL, 1 ELA 1 EL 1 ELA 3 EL'S, 3 ML'S, 4 MLA'S, 40 PL'S, 7 PLA'S 1 ELA 1 ELA 1 EL 2 EL'S 2 EL'S 4 ELA'S 5 EL'S, 3 ELA'S 1EL, 1 ELA 1 ELA 11 PL'S 4 EL'S, 54 ML'S, 70 MLA'S, 140 PL'S, 127 PLA'S 1 ELA 1 PLA 2 EL'S 1 ELA 2 EL'S 1 ELA NANUTARRA NAVIGATOR NEBO NT-QUARTZ HILL JV PEEDAMULLA POLLOCK HILL QUARTZ CIRCLE JV ROWLES SYLVANIA JV TEN MILE WELL JV (10%) 1 EL 1 EL 1 EL 4 EL'S 1 ELA 1 ELA 1 EL UR-FOSSIL DOWNS JV UR-JAILOR BORE JV UR-LAKE RAESIDE UR-LAKEWAY UR-MAROON RANGE UR-MT HARRIS UR-PELLS RANGE JV UR-RAWLINSON RANGE 3 ELA'S 2 ELA'S UR-SUNSHINE 1 ELA WAUCHOPE 1 ELA WEBB WHISTLE DUCK WHITE MT JV WINNECKE YAMARNA JV YERILLA YILGANGI JV 1 ELA 3 EL'S 2 EL'S 1 ELA 11 PL'S 1 EL, 10 PL'S 1 EL, 1 MLA, 1 PL Notes: EL = Granted Elexploration Licence MLA = Mining Lease Application M = Granted Mining Lease ELA = Exploration Licence Application P = Granted Prospecting Licence PLA = All tenements are 100% owned unless detailed in Notes 20 of the Joint Venue Summary CORPORATE DIRECTORY MANAGING DIRECTOR Nathan McMahon MANAGING DIRECTOR Clive Jones NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Kent Hunter COMPANY SECRETARY Lisa Wynne PRINCIPAL & REGISTERED OFFICE First Floor, 22 Oxford Close WEST LEEDERVILLE WA 6007 Telephone: (08) 9380 4600 Facsimile: (08) 9381 5911 AUDITORS Rix Levy Fowler Level 1, 12 Kings Park Road WEST PERTH WA 6005 SHARE REGISTRAR Advanced Share Registry Services 110 Stirling Highway NEDLANDS WA 6009 Telephone: (08) 9389 8033 Facsimile: (08) 9389 7871 STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING Australian Stock Exchange (Home Exchange: Perth, Western Australia) Code: CAZ BANKERS National Australia Bank 50 St Georges Terrace PERTH WA 6000 www.cazalyresources.com.au First Floor, 22 Oxford Close West Leederville WA 6007 T: (08) 9380 4600 F: (08) 9381 5911 www.cazalyresources.com.au ABN: 23 101 049 334 A N N U A L R E P O R T 0 7
