Review of Operations
The twelve months ending 30 June 2013 were progressive and yet challenging for Crater Gold Mining Limited (“CGN” or the
“Company”, formerly Gold Anomaly Limited) and its subsidiary companies (“the Group”). Good progress was made at the flagship
Crater Mountain Project (“the Project”) in Papua New Guinea (“PNG”). This was countered by continued depressed investment
conditions worldwide for junior resources companies in combination with weaker gold and other commodities prices.
During the year FreeFire Technology Ltd (“FreeFire”) became the Company’s major shareholder via a placement and underwriting
of two key rights issues. Due to its commitment FreeFire’s Director and Controller Mr Sam Chan was invited to become Chairman
of the Company. In addition to Mr Chan joining the board, Mr Desmond Sun and Mr Russell Parker were also appointed to the
board. FreeFire’s investment in the Company greatly strengthens the Company’s financial position and strategic corporate
management skills.
James Collins‐Taylor and Sinton Spence resigned as Directors of the Company. Mr Collins‐Taylor was appointed an Alternate
Director to Mr Fermanis and remains as Chairman of both the Audit Committee and the Remuneration & Nomination Committee.
Mr Spence remains as a Director of the Company’s PNG subsidiary, Anomaly Limited. The Company’s Board of Directors pays
tribute to James Collins‐Taylor and Sinton Spence for the very significant contributions they have made to the Company as
Directors.
As outlined in more detail below the company’s focus changed from resource expansion to gold production. As a result Mining
engineer Mr Richard Johnson was appointed as Crater Mountain Project Manager and PNG General Manager. Mr Johnson was
chosen for his hands‐on familiarity with PNG mining. His wide experience includes technical responsibility in both mining and
processing. Mr Johnson will oversee the operations at the High Grade Zone (“HGZ”) at Crater Mountain. Driving the exploration
adit at the HGZ will be under the control of experienced mining project manager Mr Paul Henley, who was a mining foreman for
two years in the late 1990s during the initial underground development and start‐up at Tolukuma. He has worked as a mine
foreman and mine manager in a number of countries.
Subsequent to the end of the financial year, the Company changed its name to Crater Gold Mining Limited. The Directors believe
that this new name is appropriate as it better reflects the Company’s focus on its flagship Crater Mountain Project in PNG and
particularly as the Company moves towards gold production from the HGZ at Crater Mountain.

Background
The Group’s flagship Crater Mountain gold project is located in the Eastern Highlands of PNG near the eastern end of the New
Guinea Orogen geological province, which lies along the northern edge of the Australian continental plate and occupies the
mountainous backbone of the island of New Guinea. The New Guinea Orogen hosts a number of world‐class copper‐gold deposits
including the world’s largest copper‐gold mine at Grasberg in Indonesia’s Papua Province, and Ok Tedi, Frieda River, Yandera and
Wafi‐Golpu in PNG, as well as the Porgera and Hidden Valley gold deposits in PNG. All of these deposits share a common geological
mode of formation in large mineralised hydrothermal systems underlying variably eroded volcanic complexes from mid‐Miocene to
Recent in age.
The Crater Mountain tenement block comprises andesitic volcanic rocks of the ancestral Pliocene Crater Mountain stratovolcano
which grew to an immense size before undergoing caldron collapse on a ring fracture system 20 kilometres in diameter, perhaps 4
million years ago. This event was followed by a long period of volcanic dormancy and deep erosion which continued until about 1
million years ago when renewed andesitic ‐ dacitic volcanic activity formed a string of smaller parasite cones principally within and
east of the northeast quadrant of the collapse structure. The volcanic rocks were intruded through and deposited on a rugged
basement of Chim Formation Mesozoic marine shales, with intermittent reactivation of north‐easterly‐, northerly and north‐
westerly trending deep crustal fractures in the basement controlling the geometry of the sub‐volcanic magmatic and hydrothermal
activity and mineralisation.

Review of Operations
Exploration by the Company at Crater Mountain is focused principally at the northern end of the large Nevera Prospect, one of four
prospects identified within the Company’s licences since exploration commenced in the region in the 1970s (see prospects on
simplified geology map below in Figure 1).
Figure 1 ‐ Prospect map ‐ Crater Mountain
The results of mechanical benching and diamond drilling conducted by the Company around the end of a prominent ridge at the
northern end of the Nevera Prospect indicate that the Prospect lies within a typical large and complex New Guinea Orogen
mineralised hydrothermal system, with excellent potential to host a number of deposits within its bounds. Mineralisation is
associated with sub‐volcanic magmatic activity related to the locally‐prominent Nevera Igneous Complex, and four different types
of mineralisation have been identified:
The relatively shallow “Main Zone” or “Mixing Zone” lying 150m to 300m below the northern end of the Prospect ridge,
which comprises low‐sulphidation epithermal carbonate‐base metal sulphide‐gold mixing zone mineralisation in excess of
600m long by 250m wide by 150m thick (with similarities to the Hidden Valley deposit in the nearby Morobe Goldfield)
Note: A JORC compliant inferred resource of 24Mt at 1.0 g/t Au using a 0.5 g/t Au cut‐off for 790,000 ounces has been
defined in the Main Zone; this includes 9.4Mt at 1.46 g/t using a 1.0 g/t Au cut‐off for 440,000 ozs (this inferred resource is
open laterally and perhaps to depth, following down a possible steep plunge to the northeast)
The “High Grade Zone“ (“HGZ”) high grade high‐sulphidation epithermal quartz‐pyrite‐gold mineralisation, extending from
surface to several hundred metres depth (possibly in excess of 500m); local artisanal miners produced an estimated 15,000
ounces from a small area of shallow workings (maximum 50m depth) in the base of a steep mineralised spur from 2005 to
2012
A large porphyry copper‐gold system identified by drilling at +800m depth below the northern end of the ridge (“Golpu“
type from Wafi‐Golpu in the Morobe Goldfield)
A possible lead‐zinc related quartz‐carbonate‐base metal sulphide‐gold stockwork vein and breccia feeder zone (for the
Mixing Zone mineralisation) at the margin of the deep intrusion (+600m) which is causing intense baking and fracturing of
the sub‐volcanic basement shales underlying the Mixing Zone (Porgera “Waruwari“ type).
During the period of high investment demand for large gold deposits (2009 – 2011), the Company’s strategy was to focus on the
potential of the “Mixing Zone” in the northern part of the Nevera prospect.

Review of Operations
Under the successful 2010/2011 drilling program the following were identified at Nevera:
a high sulphidation, high grade epithermal quartz‐pyrite‐gold target (High Grade Zone);
a large low sulphidation, lower grade carbonate‐base metal sulphide‐gold “mixing zone ”deposit over an area in excess of
600m by 400m by 150m thick within which an initial (open) resource of 790,000 ozs gold has been inferred
a potential quartz‐galena‐sphalerite‐gold target at depth below the mixing zone, related to a deep, hot intrusion which is
interpreted as the ultimate source of the area’s mineralisation; and
a confirmed porphyry copper‐gold system peripheral to the deep, hot intrusion.
The potential for Nevera is significantly greater than the Company’s current financial resources allow it to crystallise. What has
become evident from the post drilling analysis by management, various independent experts and other groups who have
considered involvement, is that our earlier estimates understate both the prospect and regional area’s potential.
It is this large project potential size which is both the challenge and opportunity for the Company. The challenge is that ongoing
exploration at the Mixing Zone is cash draining. The opportunity is that we believe we are onto a very large deposit.
The Company’s current strategy is to develop the Project’s High Grade Zone (“HGZ”) as an area where small scale mining of gold
could be undertaken. The Company has announced its intention to develop an exploration adit and commence small scale
production at the HGZ with the view of ultimately full scale production at the HGZ. The cash flow generated from the small scale
production at the HGZ is planned to finance ongoing Mixing Zone drilling and exploration at the Nevera Project.
The Board has also determined that the strategy going forward is to evaluate joint venture partnerships to enable sharing of
expenditure and exploration risk. Critical to engaging a joint venture partner is providing data sourced from a detailed helicopter‐
borne high resolution airborne magnetics and radiometrics survey. This will help define on‐going drill targets on the Nevera
Prospect and greatly assist in progressing the other prospects within the Company’s tenements, as well as test the regional
prospectivity between the known licenses, where widespread volcanic ash cover hampers conventional prospecting on the ground.
This survey is now complete with the results are currently being analysed. The information is expected to also enable confidence in
the potential size to make the Project more attractive to companies with larger balance sheets.

Review of Operations
Activities
Strategy to test gold mining potential at the High Grade Zone (HGZ)
The Company commenced testwork aimed at the early development of the High Grade Zone (“HGZ”) with a view to starting a small
scale operation in 2014.
Local artisanal miners have historically mined the HGZ at high grades; 15,000 ozs of gold are estimated to have been won from
shallow underground workings in a steep spur between 2005 and 2012. The zone is made up of a series of narrow intersecting sub
‐vertical fractures and associated bonanza grade ore shoots up to 1 metre wide related to a high sulphidation epithermal gold
mineralising event sourced in the deep intrusions underlying the northern end of the Nevera Prospect.
It is anticipated that simple gravity methods will be sufficient to recover a significant proportion of the gold from the HGZ (based on
observations of the recovery methods practiced by the local miners). Bulk samples up to several cubic metres in size will be taken
from differing mineralised material for trial processing on site. This processing is to include washing and screening and recovery of
a gravity concentrate which can be directly smelted. Hand sorting and crushing of high grade oversize will be undertaken and it is
possible that all of the ore in selected high grade structures may be crushed and processed as above.
There has been little drilling undertaken on the HGZ to date as the focus had been on the Mixing Zone and deep porphyry‐related
Pb‐Zn‐Au and Cu‐Au potential.
The Company is progressing testwork in the HGZ with bulldozer/excavator benching of the spur and underground exploration,
initially focussing upon confirming the geological expectations of the area and bulk testing processing methods.
The Company is focussed on establishing an operation to mine the HGZ in early 2014, thereby generating cash flow. The Crater
Mountain project has both the potential for near term, low cost production as well as large scale, bulk tonnage, long term
development.
The drop in gold price from around USD1,750 at the beginning of 2013 to its current level of around USD1,350 will impact how
much cash is ultimately generated from this operation but will not change the decision to go ahead unless there is a further
sustained drop in the gold price.
While the Company’s focus is on gold production, it is anticipated that this will initially only be on a small scale and as a result
fluctuations in the gold price will have minimal effect on operations. However fluctuations in the gold price do have an effect on
the general investment environment.
High Grade Zone Exploration Adit – Regulatory Approval Received
A Variation of Approved Programme for EL 1115 at Crater Mountain was granted to the Company’s PNG operating subsidiary
Anomaly Limited (“Anomaly”) to permit the driving of an exploration adit and cross‐cuts at the High Grade Zone in the Nevera
Prospect, with associated underground drilling, sampling and metallurgical testing.
The variation in the work programme is targeted at defining a gold resource beneath the surface gougings and shallow
underground workings conducted by the local village miners from 2005 to 2012.
Geological mapping of remnant surface exposures and several drill intersections have identified the mineralisation as steeply‐
dipping high sulphidation high‐grade quartz‐pyrite‐gold veining and related steeply plunging ore shoots, with a strong potential for
the high gold values worked near surface to extend to depth. Detailed geological mapping of the adit, cross‐cuts and drill core will
allow the Company to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the mineralisation than is possible from mapping and
drilling at the surface, and intensive sampling including limited bulk test work will assist in establishing accurate gold grades and
provide test material for optimising recovery and developing a mine flow sheet.
Regional Airborne Geophysical Survey interpretation has been completed and is being assessed
A detailed helicopter‐borne magnetics and radiometrics survey over the major part of the Company’s Crater Mountain tenements
was completed, after numerous delays caused principally by bad weather. The survey was designed to cover the majority of the
Company’s Crater Mountain tenements, excluding only the very high, steep east‐west ridgeline of the Crater Mountain main range
(resulting in a large northern block and smaller southern block). North‐south lines were flown 100 metres apart with east‐west tie
lines I km apart and the helicopter maintained a nominal terrain separation of 50 metre above tree‐tops. Rain, low cloud base and
terrain difficulties resulted in the long duration of the survey, with more stand‐by days than productive flying days.
The contracting company, Thompson Aviation Limited of Australia, spent the following month “levelling” the raw data for terrain
clearance before handing them on the Company’s geophysical consultant GeoExplore Pty Ltd of Perth for analysis using a variety of
diverse software programs which are in the process of being interpreted and amalgamated into a finished product, with

preliminary results starting to come in at the end of the Quarter. Results will be overlaid by the Company on Digital Terrain Models
and assessed in detail over the next several months; they are expected to provide new structural and lithological insights as well as
highlight individual magnetics and radiometrics‐related targets. The detail will be examined in GIS by overlaying geo‐referenced
drainage and terrain layers as well as the Company’s geological data.
Appointment of Richard Johnson as PNG General Manager
The Company recruited mining engineer Mr Richard Johnson as Crater Mountain Project Manager and PNG General Manager. Mr
Johnson was chosen for his hands‐on familiarity with PNG mining. In particular he was Divisional Director of DRDGold responsible
for Tolukuma Gold Mine in PNG’s Central Province from 2002 to 2005 and CEO of Allied Gold Limited at Simberi in 2008. His earlier
experience in PNG includes conducting the due diligence for the acquisition of Woodlark from Highlands Gold by Auridiam and
subsequent design and management of a 6‐month drill programme in 1995 ‐ 96. His wide experience includes administrative and
technical responsibility in both mining and processing in many other countries including most recently 3 years managing
exploration in the Kolar Gold Field of India.
Driving the exploration adit at the HGZ will be under the control of experienced mining project manager Mr Paul Henley who was a
mining foreman for two years in the late 1990s during the initial underground development and start‐up at Tolukuma. Mr Henley
was subsequently involved in the massive drainage tunnel at Ok Tedi. He has worked as a mine foreman and mine manager in a
number of countries and holds a current Victorian Mine Manager’s Ticket.
Petrology confirms porphyry copper‐gold
The Company received a final report on the petrology and mineralogy of drill core from hole NEV033 at the Nevera Prospect. The
report by Mr Anthony Coote of Applied Petrologic Services & Research in New Zealand (“APSAR”) included a detailed discussion of
his findings which confirm and highlight the drill hole’s proximity to a nearby major porphyry copper‐gold system. This confirmed
that the Nevera prospect has at least three distinct geological zones of potential; the Mixing Zone, the High Grade Zone and now
the Porphyry copper‐gold zone
Based on the identification in drill core of minerals that are characteristic of the broad propylitic halos that surround porphyry
copper deposits in a number of widely spaced drill holes, an area at least 800m long by 400m wide lying at depth under the
northern end of the prospect ridge is interpreted as being proximal to a porphyry Cu ‐ Au system.
NEV033 was sited and oriented to test this interpretation, its location based particularly on the presence of strong coarse phyllic
alteration in the lower part of drill hole NEV020 which is located higher up the slope from the NEV033 collar, to test for potential
porphyry copper‐gold mineralisation at depth; a cap of strong phyllic alteration is commonly found to overlie deeply buried
porphyry deposits
Positive metallurgical results from Mixing Zone
The Company received encouraging results from initial metallurgical testwork on gold mineralisation sourced from its Nevera
prospect at Crater mountain
A preliminary metallurgical assessment of the “Mixing Zone” gold mineralisation in the Nevera Prospect, involving gravity recovery,
cyanide leaching and flotation testwork, was conducted for the Company by SGS Lakefield Oretest Pty Ltd of Perth, WA, on a 160kg
composite sample of drill core. Samples making up the composite were of split core from a number of intersections between 230m
and 320m in NEV019 and 310m and 340m in NEV025, with an average gold grade of 1.27 g/t Au.
Preliminary results indicate that most gold within the Mixing Zone at the Nevera Prospect could be recovered by fine grinding and
cyanide agitation leaching
Testwork carried out on the composite sample included:
laboratory‐sized Knelson Concentrator gravity separation,
bottle roll cyanidation, and
batch rougher flotation
Using a grind of 75 microns, simple gravity separation recovered more than 50% of the contained gold, whilst bottle roll agitation
cyanide leaching recovered between 76 and 83%, and flotation a little more than 95%. Reprocessing of the Knelson gravity
concentrate using a hand pan showed that final concentrate grades of greater than 100 g/t Au should be readily achievable for this
concentrate.

Review of Operations
Cyanidation Testing:
Metallurgical testing showed that the gold leached quickly from the mineralised material at four different grind sizes; from a
“coarse” 180 micron grind to a “standard” 75 micron grind, where the final gold recovery was 76 %. On average, most of the gold
was dissolved into solution in a relatively quick 8 hours.
Grinding characteristics of the ore were found to be good.
The cyanidation results indicate:
Leach kinetics were rapid with leaching essentially complete after 8 hours.
Agreement between assayed and calculated head assays was good in most cases.
Cyanide consumptions were moderately low (0.79 kg/t to 0.92 kg/t).
Gold extraction ranged from 75.0 % (P80 = 180 µm), to 78.9 % (P80 = 75 µm).
Tailings from the cyanidation testing were examined by electron microscope and roughly two‐thirds of the remaining gold was
found to be encased in sulphide and one‐third in silicate, preventing exposure to the cyanide solution at the 75 micron grind:
possible solutions to increase the gold recovery to over 90% is ultra‐fine grinding (perhaps after initial rougher floatation
concentration as above to reduce the bulk for ultra‐fine grinding)
The test results are pleasing as they indicate crushing and grinding characteristics are good, and that at a 75 micron grind more
than 75% of the Mixing Zone gold can be expected to be extracted by agitation leach in 8 hours, with moderate lime and cyanide
usage. A possible method to increase this to more than 90% gold recovery is ultra‐fine grinding. It is noteworthy that simple
floatation of the 75 micron grind produced a concentrate with more than 95% of the gold from the sample, and floatation followed
by ultra‐fine grinding of the resulting concentrate before cyanidation may be the simplest way to increase final cyanide gold
recovery. The Company is confident that further metallurgical testing will provide a flowsheet capable of recovering more than
90% of the gold in the Mixing Zone.
Acquisition of 100% of the Project
Following various approvals by the PNG Government, the Company moved to outright ownership of 90% of the Crater Mountain
Project. In addition, in line with a purchase and sale agreement with the previous owners of the 10% balance of the Project,
following completion of preliminary administrative matters application has been made to the PNG Minister for Mines for the
Minister’s consent to the transfer of the remaining 10% interest to the Company.

The Company’s re‐application for the area containing the Gameta gold deposit on Fergusson Island, following the expiry in 2010 of
the original Exploration License, EL 1070, was successful, with a new exploration license, EL 1972, being granted to the Company.
EL 2180 ( Wapolu)
The Company’s application for the area containing the Wapolu gold deposit on Fergusson Island was successful, with a new
exploration license EL 2180 being granted subsequent to the end of the reporting year. The Wapolu exploration license, EL 2180,
was lodged following expiry of the original tenement EL 1025, in early 2012
The Gameta and Wapolu gold deposits, located in close proximity to each other on the north coast of Fergusson Island in PNG,
comprise the Company’s Fergusson Island Project, upon which over $15M has been spent since 1996. The Company previously
announced its first resource estimate reported in accordance with the JORC Code for the Gameta deposit, an Inferred Resource of
5.1 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t for 295,000 ounces of gold at a cut‐off grade of 1.0 g/t gold.
Crater Gold Mining Limited

Review of Operations
Future strategy
The Company’s strategy at Fergusson Island is to review latest technology in refractory gold processing techniques to evaluate if
the overall capital cost of the project can be reduced. One process being considered is the Albion process. This process relies on
floatation followed by ultrafine grinding to expose fine refractory gold. Much of the ore at Gameta and Wapolu is of a refractory
nature (fine gold locked entirely within fine‐grained sulphide or silicate grains and so not accessible to cyaniding). The Company
plans to generate fresh ore for further floatation testing followed by Albion Process testing.
Early desktop analysis of the Albion process are encouraging. In addition, the potential to generate geothermal power from the
Lamalele thermal field on southeast Fergusson Island is being assessed by the PNG government, presenting a possibility of reduced
power costs for development projects on the Island. This would impact favourably on any feasibility to develop the Wapolu and
Gameta deposits as power costs are the most significant operating cost in mining and processing operations.
Joint venture and strategic partnership opportunities are also being evaluated.
Croydon Project, Queensland, Australia (100%)
Key Points
Agreement to acquire Golden Gate Project EPM 18616
Background
The Croydon project in north Queensland is located within an interpreted under cover extension of the world class Mt Isa /
Cloncurry mineral province that hosts the Mt Isa, Century, Earnest Henry and Cannington mines. The project comprises 10
Exploration Permits Mining (EPM) that cover aeromagnetic and gravity anomalies delineated during Government aerial surveys.
The Croydon Polymetallic project emerged from analysis of aerial geophysical data that detected magnetic and gravity anomalies in
Proterozoic rock strata underling a relatively thin cover (100‐130 metres) of Mesozoic sediments. CGN experts examined the
anomalies and selected nine aeromagnetic (A1, A2, A5, A13, A15, A18, A25, A27 and A33) and three gravity (G1, G2 and G3)
anomalies for follow‐up exploration.
Significant vein style polymetallic (zinc, silver and tin) mineralisation has been identified in previous drilling undertaken by the
Company. The mineralisation lies under approximately 100m of cover, some 35km north of Croydon.
Several areas within the Croydon tenements also have identified graphite potential.
Activities
Agreement to acquire Golden Gate Project EPM 18616
The Company announced in July 2012 that it had entered into an agreement with Global Resources Corporation Limited (“Global”)
to acquire from Global an Exploration Permit for Minerals in the Croydon District in North Queensland. At the time the relevant
Exploration Permit was under application by Global. Subsequent to the end of the financial year the exploration Permit was
granted to Global by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines. The appropriate steps are now being taken for
the Exploration Permit to be transferred to the Company, less a 6% interest to be reserved to Global.
EPM18616 covers an area of 97.2 square kilometres of the historical Croydon Goldfield, which has recorded production of 844,000
ounces of gold and 900,000 ounces of silver in two periods of mining between 1885‐1935 and 1987‐90. The largest producer, the
Golden Gate Lode (480,000 ounces of gold) is located within EPM18616 and EPM9438, tenements now owned 100% by the
Company.
The area of land covered by the relevant Exploration Permit is contiguous to land covered by the Company’s Exploration Permits
nos. 8795 & 9438, north of the town of Croydon.
Graphite at Golden Gate
In July 2004, the Company, when named Gold Aura Ltd, undertook preliminary assessment of a large graphite deposit located at
the Golden Gate mine. The graphite deposit was systematically drilled as part of a regional gold exploration program in the late
1980’s by Central Coast Exploration (CCE). Three vertical reverse circulation holes were drilled by the Company between 2005 and
2007, that confirmed the graphite mineralisation as reported by earlier exploration was present at Golden Gate.
Since the Golden Gate graphite deposit is reasonably well defined by past drilling the exploration program to be conducted by the
Company will involve collection of fresh drill core samples for metallurgical testwork. Should a commercial graphite deposit be

proven at Golden Gate, the area is well served by infrastructure with the port of Karumba on the Gulf of Carpentaria that services
the Century Pb‐Zn mine being within 150 kilometres from the town of Croydon.
Future strategy
An exploration program will be conducted by the Company that will involve collection of fresh drill core samples to be submitted
for metallurgical testwork.
The Company’s strategy at the Croydon A2 project is to seek a joint partnership. Previous drilling results at the project were
promising with further drilling being justified.
Drilling results at the A2 hole A2‐001 returned a 5m massive sulphide intercept averaging 8% Zn, 180g/t Ag, 0.58% Sn and 0.57% Cu.
Similar high value massive sulphide filled fracture zones are present in six of the other holes drilled and all nine holes drilled
contained thick intercepts of strong Zn‐Ag anomalism indicating the presence of a large mineralizing system. They appear to form
linear patterns with an east‐west strike and apparent vertical dip that suggests continuity of the zones is possible. Present hole
spacing of 200m is too wide for certainty, but if continuous, the massive sulphide zones will represent a sizable polymetallic‐tin
deposit.
Investment in Kenai Resources
On 5 July 2013 the shareholders of Kenai Resources Ltd (TSXV:KAI “Kenai”) voted to accept an agreement whereby Serabi Gold plc.
(AIM:SRB and TSX:SBI “Serabi”) Serabi would acquire all the issued and outstanding common shares of Kenai at 0.85 Serabi shares
in exchange for each Kenai share held. As a result the Company was issued with 17.1m Serabi shares for its original holding of
20.1m Kenai shares.
As at the date of this report the Company has sold some 12m Serabi shares on the TSX and AIM markets.

challenging for the Company. Good progress was made at the
flagship Crater Mountain Project in Papua New Guinea. This was
countered by continued depressed conditions worldwide for junior
resources companies in combination with weaker gold and other
commodities prices.”

Corporate Governance Statement
The Listing Rules of the Australian Securities
Exchange require that the Company’s Annual Report
contain a statement disclosing the extent to which
the Company has followed the ASX Corporate
Governance Council’s Corporate Governance
Recommendations (“Recommendations”) during the
financial year. There are 30 Recommendations,
contained within 8 Corporate Governance
“Principles”, and all are addressed in this Statement.
The Recommendations are guidelines rather than
prescriptions, and a company has the flexibility not to
adopt a particular Recommendation if the company
considers it inappropriate to the company’s
particular circumstances, provided the company
explains why it has not followed the particular
Recommendation.
Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management
and oversight
The Corporate Governance Charter adopted by the Board
(which can be found on the Company’s website) (“the
Corporate Governance Charter”) provides that the Board’s
broad functions are to:
chart strategy and set financial and other targets for the
Company and its controlled entities (“the Group”);
monitor the implementation and execution of strategy
and performance against financial and other targets;
appoint and oversee the performance of executive
management; and
generally to take an effective leadership role in relation to
the Group.
The Board evaluates the performance of senior executives on
an ongoing basis.
is charged with
The Company’s executive management
managing and directing the day‐to‐day operations of the
Company’s business.
Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value
The current Board of six members comprises five Non‐
executive Directors and one Executive Director. The names,
skills and experience of the Directors in office at the date of
this Statement and the period of office of each Director are set
out in the Directors' Report. The Directors believe that the
composition of the Board is appropriate for its functions and
responsibilities.
Based on the guidelines accompanying the Recommendations,
for the majority of the reporting period (up to March 2013) the
Board comprised two independent directors (Messrs Collins‐
Taylor and Spence) and three non‐independent directors. Of
the three non‐independent directors, Greg Starr
is the
Company’s Managing Director, employed in an executive
capacity, and Peter Macnab and Tom Fermanis are material
suppliers of professional consulting services to the Company.
Since March 2013 the Board has comprised two independent
directors (Messrs Sun and Parker) and four non‐independent
directors Messrs Starr, Macnab, Fermanis and non‐executive
chairman Sam Chan. Mr Chan is the sole director and
shareholder of a substantial shareholder of the Company, and
therefore not considered
independent according to the
guidelines accompanying the Recommendations.
During the reporting period the Company had a Remuneration
& Nomination Committee. Up to March 2013 the Committee
consisted of two independent Directors, Messrs Collins‐Taylor
and Sinton Spence. Mr Collins‐Taylor resigned as a director of
the Company in March 2013 but remains a member (and
Chairman) of the Committee. The Committee’s other member
since March 2013 is non‐independent director Mr Fermanis.
The Committee has a charter which appears on the Company's
website (www.cratergold.com.au).
The Board evaluates the performance of itself, its committees
and individual Directors. The Remuneration and Nomination
Committee is also charged with making recommendations to
the Board in this regard. During the reporting period the Board
undertook a formal evaluation of its performance.
Principle 3 – Promote ethical and responsible
decision making
The Company is firmly committed to ethical business practices,
a safe workplace and compliance with the law. Fair dealing
with the Company’s suppliers, advisors, customers, employees
and competitors is expected at all levels of the organisation.
All Directors, executive management and employees are
expected to act with integrity to enhance the performance of
the Company.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Charter contains a code
of conduct which provides a guide to the Company’s Directors
as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the
Company’s integrity and ethical practices.
The Company is a stated equal opportunity employer, however
has not established a policy concerning diversity as such as the
Company does not believe it would be appropriate for the
Company at this time given the Company’s stage of
development, the industry in which the Company operates, the
Company’s size, and the Company’s circumstances generally.
The Board has not either set measurable objectives for
achieving gender diversity in accordance with a diversity policy
for the foregoing reasons. During the reporting period there
were no women on the Company’s board or in a senior
executive position. The proportion of women employees in the
whole organisation was 33.3% during the first part of the
reporting period and subsequently 0%. It should be noted
however that during the reporting period the Company had
only two or three employees.
Principle 4 – Safeguard
reporting
integrity
in financial
The Board requires that prior to adoption of the annual
accounts the Chief Executive Officer and any Chief Financial
Officer state in writing to the Board that the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities
present a true and fair view in all material respects of the
Group’s financial condition and operational results and are in
accordance with applicable accounting standards.
The Audit Committee is a committee of the Board. It is the
Audit Committee’s responsibility to ensure that an effective
internal control framework exists within the Company. This
includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness
and efficiency of
the
safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting
records, and the reliability of financial information, as well as
non‐financial considerations such as the benchmarking of
operational key performance indicators.
significant business processes,
Up to March 2013 the Audit Committee comprised two
independent Directors, Messrs Collins‐Taylor and Spence. Mr
Collins‐Taylor resigned as a director of the Company in March

Corporate Governance Statement
2013 but remains a member (and Chairman) of the Committee.
The Committee’s other member since March 2013 is non‐
independent director Mr Fermanis. The Chairman of the Audit
Committee was not Chairman of the Board. The Board
believes that, given the Company’s size and the financial
acumen of the two Committee members, two is an adequate
number for the Committee at this time.
The Audit Committee has a formal written charter which sets
out the Committee’s role and responsibilities, composition,
structure and membership requirements.
Details of the names and qualifications of the Audit Committee
members and meetings attended by them are contained in the
Directors’ Report. The Audit Committee Charter is published
on the Company’s website. The Audit Committee Charter

the Audit Committee with
responsibility
The Company’s current auditor complies with its obligations
under the Corporations Act 2001 s324DA and consequently an
individual who plays a significant role in the audit of the
Company will rotate off the audit after five years and will not
participate in the audit again for a further two years.
Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Company has established policies and procedures designed
to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rule requirements
so that announcements are made in a timely manner, are
factual, do not omit material information, are balanced, and
are expressed in a clear and objective manner so as to allow
investors to assess the information when making investment
decisions. The Managing Director and Company Secretary are
responsible for interpreting and monitoring the Company's
disclosure policy and the Company Secretary is responsible for
all communications with the ASX.
The Company's Corporate Governance Charter contains
procedures relating to timely and balanced disclosure.
ASX announcements are also published on the Company's
website.
Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders
The Company aims to keep shareholders informed of the
Company's performance and all major developments on an
ongoing basis. The Company regularly communicates to its
shareholders in a timely manner through a communications
strategy that consists of:
relevant disclosures made in accordance with ASX Listing
Rule disclosure requirements;
making documents that have been released publicly
available on the Company's website; and
communicating with shareholders electronically through
the Company's web‐based application.
The Company’s website contains a corporate governance
section that includes copies of charters adopted by the
Company.
The Company routinely requests that the external auditor
attend the Company's annual general meeting and be available
to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the
audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.
Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk
The Company recognises that it is necessary to undertake
activities that involve a level of risk in order to achieve high
levels of performance. The Board and Audit Committee are
responsible for the oversight of the Group's risk management
and control framework.
The size of the Company and the comprehensive nature of its
reporting systems have led the Board to conclude that a formal
internal audit process would not be cost effective nor reduce
risk. The Company has established policies for:
the oversight of material business risks; and
the Management of material business risks.
The Board believes that there are adequate controls to ensure
that financial reports provide a truthful and factual position for
the Company.
The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer are
required to make an annual written statement to the Board in
accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act that the
section 295A declaration is founded on a sound system of risk
management and internal control, and that the system is
operating effectively in all material aspects in relation to
financial risk.
Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Company had a Remuneration & Nomination Committee
during the reporting period. Up to March 2013 the Committee
consisted of two independent Directors, Messrs Collins‐Taylor
and Sinton Spence. Mr Collins‐Taylor resigned as a director of
the Company in March 2013 but remains a member (and
Chairman) of the Committee. The Committee’s other member
since March 2013 is non‐independent director Mr Fermanis.
Details of the names and qualifications of the Committee
members and meetings attended by them are contained in the
Directors’ Report. The Committee has a charter which is
published on the Company's website.
It is the objective of Crater Gold Mining Limited to provide
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high
quality Board and executive team by remunerating Directors
and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to
relevant employment market conditions.
The expected
outcomes of the remuneration policy are:
retention and motivation of key executives;
attraction of quality management to the Company; and
performance incentives which allow executives to share
the rewards of the success of the Company.
The Company’s non‐executive Directors receive Director’s fees.
Non‐executive Directors are not entitled to any retiring
allowance payable upon their retirement as a Director of the
Company. The details of the Directors’ and senior executives’
remuneration are set out in the Directors’ Report.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Crater Gold Mining Limited (the “Company”) and its legal
subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report
as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.
Details of the principal accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the financial report are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
Crater Gold Mining Limited is a for profit public company,
limited by shares and domiciled in Australia.
a. Basis of preparation
Accounting
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASB),
other
Australian
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. These
International
Financial Statements also comply with
Reporting Standards as
International
the
Accounting Standards (IASB).
Interpretation,
issued by
and
Adoption of IFRS
During the year the Group adopted all of the new and
revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations
applicable to its operations which became mandatory.
Changes reflected in this financial report include:
AASB 2010‐4 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the Annual
Improvements
Project
'Financial
in AASB 7
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2010‐4
amendments from 1 July 2011. The amendments made
numerous non‐urgent but necessary amendments to a
range of Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations. The amendments provided clarification
Instruments:
of disclosures
Disclosures', in particular emphasis of the interaction
between quantitative and qualitative disclosures and
the nature and extent of risks associated with financial
instruments; clarified that an entity can present an
income for each
analysis of other comprehensive
component of equity, either
in the statement of
changes in equity or in the notes in accordance with
AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Instruments'; and
provided guidance on the disclosure of significant
events and transactions in AASB 134 'Interim Financial
Reporting'.
The consolidated entity has applied Interpretation 19
from 1 July 2010. The interpretation clarified that
equity instruments issued to a creditor to extinguish a
financial liability qualifies as consideration paid. The
equity instruments issued are measured at their fair
value, or if not reliably measured, at the fair value of
the
loss
liability extinguished, with any gain or
recognised in profit or loss.
AASB 2010‐5 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 2010‐5
amendments from 1 July 2011. The amendments made
numerous editorial amendments
to a range of
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations,
including amendments to reflect changes made to the
text of International Financial Reporting Standards by
the International Accounting Standards Board.
AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (December 2009)
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 124 (revised)
from 1 July 2011. The revised standard simplified the
definition of a related party by clarifying its intended
meaning and eliminating
inconsistencies from the
definition. A subsidiary and an associate with the same
investor are related parties of each other; entities
significantly influenced by one person and entities
significantly influenced by a close member of the family
of that person are no longer related parties of each
other; and whenever a person or entity has both joint
control over a second entity and joint control or
significant influence over a third party, the second and
third entities are related to each other.
AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 1054 from 1
July 2011. The standard sets out the Australian‐specific
disclosures as a result of Phase I of the Trans‐Tasman
to
Convergence Project, which are
International Financial Reporting Standards, for entities
that have adopted Australian Accounting Standards.
in addition
Historical cost convention
The financial report has been prepared under the historical
cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available‐
for‐sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair
value through the statement of comprehensive income and
certain classes of plant and equipment.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial report in conformity with
Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of
judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the financial statements are
disclosed in note 2.
b. Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these
financial statements present the results of the consolidated
entity only. Supplementary information about the parent
entity is disclosed in note 31.
c. Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets
and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company or parent
entity as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries
for the year then ended.
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose
entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a
shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The
existence and effect of potential voting rights that are
currently exercisable or convertible are considered when
assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

is transferred to the Group.
A list of consolidated entities is contained in note 30 to the
financial statements.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for
the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on
transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of
the asset
transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Group.
impairment of
the
Minority interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries
are shown separately in the Statement of Profit or Loss and
Other Consolidated Income and Statement of Financial
Position respectively.
d. Segment reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations
engaged in providing products or services that are subject to
risks and returns that are different to those of other
business segments. Segment information is provided on the
internal reporting
same basis as
information used for
purposes by the chief executive and the Board.
In
identifying its operating segments, management generally
follows the Group's project activities.
Each of these
activities is managed separately.
e.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the
Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(‘the functional currency’).
The consolidated financial
statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is The
Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated
into the
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in the Statement of Consolidated Income, except
when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and
qualifying net investment hedges.
Translation differences on non‐monetary items, such as
equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported
as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences
items, such as equities classified as
on non‐monetary
available‐for‐sale financial assets, are included in the fair
value reserve in equity.
Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities
(none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy) that have a functional currency different from the
presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial
Position presented are translated at the closing rate at
the date of that Statement of Financial Position;
income and expenses for each income statement are
translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not
a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of
the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which
case income and expenses are translated at the dates of
the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a
separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the
translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of
borrowings and other currency instruments designated as
hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’
equity. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings
repaid a proportionate share of such exchange differences
are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Consolidated Income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and
fair value adjustments arising on the
acquisition of foreign entities are treated as assets and
liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing
rate.
f. Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are
net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest
rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the
rate inherent in the instrument.
g.
Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the year comprises
current income tax expense or income and deferred tax
expense or income.
Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on
the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
is
Current and deferred income tax expense (income)
charged or credited directly to equity instead of the income
statements when the tax relates to items that are credited
or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where
amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions
are available. 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 assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax
rates that are expected to apply to the period when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally

respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of
set‐off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either
the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it
is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation
and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur
in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred
tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or
settled.
Tax Consolidation
Crater Gold Mining Limited and its wholly‐owned Australian
subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group
under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the group
recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and
liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand‐alone
taxpayer’ approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities
(assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax
losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately
transferred to the head entity.
The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding
the group
arrangement whereby each company
contributes to the income tax payable by the group in
proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable
income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets
and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised
pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as
either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.
in
h.
Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group
has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the
lower of the fair value of the leased property and the
present value of the minimum lease payments.
The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges,
are included in other long term payables. Lease payments
are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and
the lease interest expense for the period.
The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance
leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful
life and the lease term.
i. Acquisition of assets
The purchase method of accounting
is used for all
acquisitions of assets (including business combinations)
regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are
acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets
given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date
of acquisition. Incidental costs directly attributable to the
acquisition are taken to Profit and Loss under AASB 3.
instruments
Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the
is their market price as at
value of the
acquisition date, unless the notional price at which they
could be placed in the market is a better indicator of fair
value.
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments
are recognised directly in equity.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date,
irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The
excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the
Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than
the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired,

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is
deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted
to their present value as at the date of exchange. The
discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing
rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be
obtained from an independent financier under comparable
terms and conditions.

amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets

to amortisation are
reviewed
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value
less costs to sell and value in use.
For the purposes of assessing
impairment, assets are
grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).
k. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits
held at call with financial institutions, other short term,
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank
overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities
on the Statement of Financial Position.

Notes to the Financial Statements
l.
Investments and other financial assets
Management determines the classification of its investments
at initial recognition and re‐evaluates this designation at
each reporting date.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in
an active market. They arise when the Group provides
money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no
intention of selling the receivable. They are included in
current assets, except for those with maturities greater than
12 months after the Statement of Financial Position date
which are classified as non‐current assets. Loans and
receivables are included in receivables in the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position (note 13).
They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method.
Available‐for‐sale financial assets
Available for sale financial assets, comprising principally
equity securities, are non‐derivatives that are either
designated in this category or not classified in any of the
other categories.
Recognition and de‐recognition
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade
date ‐ the date on which the Group commits to purchase or
sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair
value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not
carried at fair value through income statements. Financial
assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash
flows from the financial assets have expired or have been
transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership.
When securities which are classified as available‐for‐sale are
sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in
equity are included in the income statement as gains and
losses from investment securities.
De‐recognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual
rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer
has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and
benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are
derecognised where the related obligations are either
discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the
carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or
transferred to another party and the fair value of
consideration paid, including the transfer of non‐cash assets
or liabilities assumed, is recognised in income statements.
Subsequent measurement
Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair
value through income statements are subsequently carried
at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the
fair value of the financial assets at fair value through income
statements category are included in the income statement in
the period in which they arise. Dividend income from
financial assets at fair value through income statements is
recognised in the income statement as part of revenue from
continuing operations when the Group’s right to receive
payments is established.
Fair value
The fair values of quoted investments are based on current
bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active
(and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value
by using valuation techniques. These include reference to
the fair values of recent arm’s length transactions, involving
instruments that are
the same
substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and
option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific
circumstances.
instruments or other
Impairment
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is
objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired.
In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale,
a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a
security below its cost is considered in determining whether
the security is impaired.
If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial
assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference
between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less
any impairment loss on that financial asset previously
recognised in income statements is removed from equity
and recognised in the income statement.
Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on
equity instruments are not reversed through the income
statement.
m. Comparatives
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative
figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in the
presentation for the current financial year.
n. Exploration and evaluation expenditure
incurred
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
is
capitalised 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 the successful
development of the area of interest or when activities in the
areas of interest have not yet reached a stage which permit
reasonable assessment of the existence of economically
recoverable reserves.
The ultimate recoupment of capitalised costs is dependent
on the successful development and commercial exploitation,
or sale, of the respective areas of interest. Accumulated
costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full
against profit/loss in the year in which the decision to
abandon the area is made.
Where costs are capitalised on exploration, evaluation and
development, they are amortised over the life of the area of
interest
they relate once production has
commenced. Amortisation charges are determined on a
production output basis, unless a time basis
is more
appropriate under specific circumstances.

assessed for impairment if:

the unit‐of‐production method.
facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of
impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are
allocated to cash‐generating units to which the exploration
activity relates.
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.
o. Plant and equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less,
where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.
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 that will be received from the asset’s employment and
subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have
been discounted to their present values in determining
recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated
group
labour,
includes the cost of materials, direct
borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and
variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to the income statement during the financial period
in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on
a straight‐line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable
assets are:
Asset
Depreciation rates
Plant and Equipment
4% – 50%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and
adjusted if appropriate, at each Statement of Financial
Position date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to
its recoverable amount where there are
indicators of
impairment.

p. Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year
which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are
usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
q. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value including
transaction costs and subsequently at amortised cost.
r.
Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‐monetary
benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected
to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are
recognised in other payables in respect of employees'
services up to the reporting date and are measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Liabilities for non accumulating sick leave are recognised
when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or
payable.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave expected to be settled
more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised
in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the
present value of expected future payments to be made in
respect of services provided by employees up to the
reporting date using the projected unit credit method.
Consideration is given to expect future wage and salary
levels, experience of employee departures and periods of
service. Expected future payments are discounted using
market yields at the reporting date on national government
bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as
closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Share‐based payment transactions
The group operates equity‐settled share‐based payment
employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the
equity to which employees become entitled is measured at
grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting
period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account.
The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid
price. The fair value of option is ascertained using a Black‐
Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting
conditions.
is
recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in
equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to
profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value
of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards
that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting
period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the
is the cumulative amount calculated at each
period
reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous
periods.

attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the
acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
t.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in
ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the
determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other
financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary
shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed
to have been issued for no consideration in relation to
dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Potential ordinary shares are anti‐dilutive when their
conversion to ordinary shares would increase earnings per
share or decrease loss per share from continuing operations.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not
assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential
ordinary shares that would have an anti‐dilutive effect on
earnings per share.
u. Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in Class order 98/100,
issued by the Australian Securities and
Investments
Commission, relating to the ''rounding off'' of amounts in the
financial report. Amounts in the financial report have not
been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the
nearest thousand dollars, but to the nearest dollar.
v. Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the
amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or
as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount
of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included with other receivables or payables in the Statement
of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST
components of cash flows arising from investing or financing
activities which are recoverable from or payable to the
taxation authority are presented as an operating cash flow.
w. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use
or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time
as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or
sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income
statement in the period in which they are incurred.
x. Rehabilitation costs
The Company records the present value of the estimated
cost of
legal and constructive obligations to restore
operating locations in the period in which the obligation is
incurred. The nature of restoration activities includes
dismantling and removing structures, rehabilitating mines,
dismantling operating facilities, closure of plant and waste
sites and restoration, reclamation and revegetation of
afflicted areas.
When the liability is initially recorded, the present value of
the estimated cost is capitalised by increasing the carrying
amount of the related mining assets.

Additional guidance is provided in how to evaluate each of the three limbs
above. While this is not a wholesale change from the current definition of
control within AASB 127 (and for many entities no change in practice will
result) some entities may be impacted by the change. The limbs above are
more principle based rather than hard and fast rules.

Joint Arrangements
AASB 11 replaces the AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures. The previous
standard had 3 types of Joint ventures whereas AASB 11 only has two. These
are:
1 January 2013
Joint Operations; and
Joint Ventures.
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint
control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the
liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are called joint
operators.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint
control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Those parties are called joint venturers.
Joint ventures must now be accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. The option to proportionately consolidate a joint venture entity
has been removed.

Application of Tiers of

Standards
Fair value is defined as:
“the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date (i.e. an exit price)”
This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework
consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general
purpose financial statements:
1 July 2013
(a)
Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
(b)
Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure
Tier 2 comprises
recognition, measurement and presentation
requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced disclosures corresponding to
those requirements.
the
For‐profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability (as
defined in this Standard) would apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing
general purpose financial statements.
For‐profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability would
apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose
financial statements.
Public accountability means accountability to those existing and potential
resource providers and others external to the entity who make economic
decisions but are not in a position to demand reports tailored to meet their
particular information needs. A for‐profit private sector entity has public
accountability if:
(a)
(b)
its debt or equity instruments are traded in a public market or it is in
the process of issuing such instruments for trading in a public market
(a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over‐the‐counter market,
including local and regional markets); or
it holds assets in a fiduciary capacity for a broad group of outsiders as
one of its primary businesses. This is typically the case for banks,
credit unions,
insurance companies, securities brokers/dealers,
mutual funds and investment banks.

This Standard gives effect to Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced
Disclosure Requirements. AASB 1053 provides further information regarding
the differential reporting framework and the two tiers of reporting
requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements.
The Standard makes numerous amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards and Interpretations listed above as a result of the amendments to
AASB 9.
1 January 2013
1 January 2012
The amendments provide a practical approach for measuring deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured
using the fair value model in AASB 140 Investment Property. Under AASB
112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets
depends on whether an entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by
selling it. However, it is often difficult and subjective to determine the
expected manner of recovery when the investment property is measured
using the fair value model in AASB 140.
To provide a practical approach in such cases, the amendments introduce a
presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale.
Interpretation 121 Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non‐Depreciable
Assets addresses similar issues involving non‐depreciable assets measured
using the revaluation model in AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment. The
amendments incorporate Interpretation 121 into AASB 112 after excluding
investment property measured at fair value from the scope of the guidance
previously contained in Interpretation 121.
The amendments to AASB 2009‐11 will only affect early adopters of AASB
2009‐11 (and AASB 9 Financial Instruments as issued in December 2009) as it
has been superseded by AASB 2010‐7 for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2013.
1 January 2013
1 July 2013
AASB 1054 contains the Australian‐specific disclosures that are in addition to
International Financial Reporting Standards. AASB 2011‐1 contains the
related amendments to other Australian Accounting Standards. For example,
some of the disclosure requirements previously in paragraphs Aus15.1‐
Aus15.3 and other paragraphs of AASB 101 are now included in AASB 1054
instead.
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1054 to introduce reduced
disclosure requirements to that Standard for entities preparing general
purpose financial statements under Australian Accounting Standards –
Reduced Disclosure Requirements. These reflect the reduced disclosure
requirements originally specified in AASB 2010‐2 for AASB 101 disclosures
that are now in AASB 1054.

AASB amendment
Outline of amendment
AASB 2011‐4
This Standard makes amendments to Australian Accounting Standard AASB
124 Related Party Disclosures.
These amendments arise from a decision of the AASB to remove the
individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosures from AASB 124 on
the basis they:
are not part of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), which
include requirements to disclose aggregate (rather than individual)
amounts of KMP compensation;
are not included in New Zealand accounting standards and, accordingly,
their removal is consistent with meeting the 2010 Outcome Proposal of
the Australian and New Zealand governments that for‐profit entities are
able to use a single set of accounting standards and prepare only one set
of financial statements;
are considered by the AASB to be more in the nature of governance
disclosures that are better dealt with as part of the Corporations Act
2001;
were originally included in AASB 124 when fewer similar disclosure
requirements were included in the Corporations Act and, in many
respects, relate to similar disclosure requirements currently in that Act
and therefore detract from the clarity of the requirements applying in
this area; and
could be considered (during the transition period for this Amending
Standard) for inclusion in the Corporations Act or other legislation to the
extent they presently go beyond the requirements in legislation and are
considered appropriate in light of government policy.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom
equal the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities are set out below.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is reviewed regularly to ensure that the capitalised expenditure is only carried forward to
the extent that it is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area of interest or when activities in the
area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable
reserves. This policy is outlined in note 1.
3
Financial Risk Management
The Group’s major area of risk is managing liquidity and cash balances and embarking on fundraising activities in anticipation of
further projects. The activities expose the Group to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different
methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest
rate, and other risks, ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out under policies set by the Managing Director and approved by the Board of Directors.
The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as, interest rate risk,
credit risk and investment of excess liquidity.
a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a
currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk
arising from currency exposures to the Papua New Guinea Kina. As the Group is still in the development, exploration and
evaluation stages, it has not needed to use forward contracts to manage foreign exchange risk. The Board will continue to monitor
the Group’s foreign currency exposures.
The Group’s exposure to interest‐rate risk is summarised in the following table. Fixed interest rate items mature within 12 months.
Price risk
The Group is exposed to commodity price risk and will be exposed to revenue risk once gold production starts. The commodity
prices impact the Group’s capacity to raise additional funds and will impact its sales of gold once production starts.
(b) Credit risk
The credit risk on financial assets of the Group which have been recognised in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position is
generally the carrying value amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts. No items are considered past due or impaired.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the ability of the Group to raise
funds on capital markets. The Managing Director and the Board continue to monitor the Group’s financial position to ensure that it
has available funds to meet its ongoing commitments (refer to note 4).

1 Bergen institutional financing facility
As announced to the market on 9 May 2012, the Company secured funding from Bergen Global Opportunity Fund, LP (“Bergen”), a
US‐based institutional investor managed by Bergen Asset Management, LLC (“Bergen Asset Management”), under a Convertible
Security Agreement (“the Agreement”). Under the Agreement Bergen would invest up to $7.6 million in the Company with the
funding to be used for progressing the Company’s project exploration and for working capital generally.
$1,600,000 as a first tranche secured by way of a Convertible Security with a face value of $2,050,000; and
A second tranche of between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 invested approximately 90 days after the investment of the first
tranche secured by way of a Convertible Security with a face value of 122.5% of the investment amount; and
Two additional tranches of between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 invested at approximately 90 day intervals each after the
investment of the second tranche secured by way of Convertible Securities with a face value of 122.5% of the investment
amounts.
Subject to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, Bergen might convert some or all of each of the Convertible Securities into ordinary shares in the
Company in full or in part at any time prior to the date that was 12 months from the date of issuance of the Convertible Security.
To the extent to which the Convertible Securities had not been converted, the face value of the Convertible Securities outstanding
as of the date that was fifteen months after the date of execution of the Agreement would be repayable by the Company in cash.
Bergen would not convert an amount that was less than $300,000 at any time (except where the balance of a Convertible Security
outstanding was less than $300,000). The Convertible Securities were interest‐free (unless an event of default occured) and
secured, among other things, against 25,000,000 shares of the Company.
The conversion price was to be determined by dividing the relevant amount to be converted by 90% of the average of three daily
volume weighted average prices ("VWAPs") during a specified period prior to the conversion notice date of the Convertible
Security. Alternatively, the conversion price in respect of no more than $2,500,000 of the Convertible Securities was to be equal to
130% of the average of the VWAPs during the 20 trading days prior to the date of execution of the Agreement.
On 11 October 2012 the Company announced that it had entered into a Deed of Arrangement with Bergen to terminate the
Agreement. This involved:
The repayment of $315,000 via an immediate cash payment;
The immediate issue of 50,000,000 shares; and
An outstanding unsecured convertible security of $135,000. This was converted on 20 December 2012 by the issue of
135,000,000 shares

Notes to the Financial Statements
(e) Fair value estimation
The fair value of assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The
carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to
their short term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future
contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that considers and reflects the significance of the inputs
used in making the measurements:
Level 1
Level 2
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (significant unobservable inputs).
The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgment by the Group. The Group considers observable
data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and
provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
The following table analyses within the fair value hierarchy the Group’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Group has cash on hand of $3,422,826 (2012: $479,067) and
incurred a net loss after tax of $3,060,824 (2012: $10,795,231) for the full year. Cash outflows from operating and investing
activities were $6,939,375 (2012: $13,362,730) and as at 30 June 2013, the Group had net current assets of $3,352,761 (2012: Net
current liabilities $1,508,879).
The Company’s key area of expenditure is the Crater Mountain Project in PNG. It is an exploration project with the focus being on
bringing the HGZ into small scale production during the forthcoming year. The Directors are satisfied that plans are in place for the
Group to have positive cash flows through to September 2014. In addition, subsequent to the year end, FreeFire Technology
Limited, a major shareholder, has agreed to provide the Company a loan facility of up to $1m on normal commercial terms and
conditions to meet any funding requirements prior to the completion of contemplated future funds raisings. This loan will be
repaid out of the proceeds of any future fund raising. Should the fund raising not proceed as anticipated the loan will not be called
for payment until such time as the company has sufficient funds available. On this basis the Directors are of the opinion that the
financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis and the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due
and payable.

Employee Share Option Plan
The establishment of the Crater Gold Mining Employee Share Option Plan (“the Plan”) was approved by shareholders on 22 June
2007. The Plan is designed to provide long term incentives for executives, staff and contractors to deliver long term shareholder
returns. Participation in the Plan is at the Board’s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the Plan or
to receive any guaranteed benefits. Options granted under the Plan carry no dividend or voting rights.

All Employee Share Options outstanding at 30 June 2013 expire on 15 June 2015 (2012: 15 June 2015).
Option pricing model – Employee Share Option Plan
The fair value of the equity‐settled share options granted under the Employee Share Option Plan is estimated as at the date of
grant using a Black‐Scholes option pricing Model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were
granted. The model takes into account the historic dividends and share price volatilities and each comparator company to
produce a predicted distribution of relative share performance.
Historical volatility of 95.25% has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is not expected that this
volatility will change significantly over the life of the options. The expected life of the options is taken to be the full period of time
from grant date to expiry date as there is no expectation of early exercise of the options. The options are options to subscribe for
ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The options are issued for no consideration. A risk free rate of 5.45% was used in
the model. Shares issued on exercise of the option will rank pari passu with all existing shares of the Company from the date of
issue.

Unincorporated Joint Ventures
The Company previously had an unincorporated Joint Venture agreement with Triple Plate Junction plc (“TPJ”) in relation to
the Crater Mountain licences. These Joint Ventures were held as Jointly Controlled Operations. In April 2013 the Company,
TPJ and Celtic Minerals (“Celtic”) contracted for the Company to acquire TP’s and Celtic’s respective 8% and 2% interests in the

Post Balance Date Events
Name Change to Crater Gold Mining Limited
At the Company’s general meeting held on the 9th of July 2013 shareholders approved the change of the Company’s name from
“Gold Anomaly Limited” to “Crater Gold Mining Limited”.
Sale of Kenai Resources Ltd shares to Serabi Gold plc
In May 2013 the Boards of Directors of Kenai Resources Ltd (TSXV:KAI “Kenai”) and Serabi Gold plc. (AIM:SRB and TSX:SBI “Serabi”)
announced that they had entered into an agreement, subject to the approval of shareholders of Kenai and other conditions
precedent, whereby Serabi would acquire all the issued and outstanding common shares of Kenai (“Kenai Shares”) by way of a Plan
of Arrangement (“the Arrangement”).
Crater Gold Mining Limited owned some 13% (some 14 million shares of 105 million issued Kenai shares) of Kenai Resources, and
was entitled to a further 5.1 million Serabi shares if the Arrangement completed.
Highlights of the Arrangement included: Shareholders of Kenai receiving 0.85 of one new ordinary share of Serabi (a “Serabi Share”)
in exchange for each Kenai Share held (the “Exchange Ratio”).
Approval for the Arrangement by special resolution of Kenai’s shareholders was passed at a meeting of its shareholders on the 5th
July 2013.
Loan from FreeFire Technology Limited
Subsequent to the end of the year, FreeFire Technology Limited (“FreeFire”), a major shareholder in the Company, has agreed to
advance a loan of up to $1m to the Company to meet any ongoing funding requirements which may arise prior to the completion of
contemplated future fund raising exercises. The loan will be on standard commercial terms and conditions. The Board considers
that the terms under which this loan will be made are reasonable and no more favourable than the alternative arrangements
available or reasonably expected to be available.
The loan will be repaid out of the proceeds of future fund raising activities.
Consolidation of Share Capital
At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 26 September 2013 a resolution to consolidate every one hundred shares into one
share in the Company was approved.
Acquisition of 100% of the Crater Mountain Project
Following various approvals by the PNG Government, the Company moved to outright ownership of 90% of the Crater Mountain
Project. In addition, in line with a purchase and sale agreement with the previous owners of the 10% balance of the Project (see
note 32), following completion of preliminary administrative matters application has been made to the PNG Minister for Mines for
the Minister’s consent to the transfer of the remaining 10% interest to the Company.
Agreement to acquire Golden Gate Project EPM 18616
The Company announced in July 2012 that it had entered into an agreement with Global Resources Corporation Limited (“Global”)
to acquire from Global an Exploration Permit for Minerals in the Croydon District in North Queensland. At the time the relevant
Exploration Permit was under application by Global. Subsequent to the end of the financial year the exploration Permit was
granted to Global by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines. The appropriate steps are now being taken for
the Exploration Permit to be transferred to the Company, less a 6% interest to be reserved by Global.
