ANNUAL REPORT 2014 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Chief Executive Officer’s Report CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REPORT DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER, The past year was characterised by significant exploration success at the Calingiri copper-molybdenum project in Western Australia. The Company was also pleased to report in March 2014 a cornerstone investment by First Quantum Minerals (Australia) Pty Limited. The issue raised $1.25 million and a second stage Convertible Loan Agreement was announced in September 2014 to raise a further $600,000. The Company’s focus since March 2013 has been on its 100%-owned Calingiri Project, located 120km NE of Perth, near Calingiri, Western Australia. It was very pleasing that the Company was able to release two JORC compliant Exploration Targets with a substantial range of tonnes of copper and molybdenum during the year. These prospects known as Dasher and Bindi underpin the potential for the development of a bulk tonnage mining operation. A number of new high-priority copper-molybdenum targets were identified elsewhere within the 30 kilometre long Calingiri Target Trend, and these targets will be the focus of ongoing drilling programs. The Company also focused on the Wynberg Project, located 30 km east of Cloncurry in North Queensland. The project has an existing JORC inferred resource of approximately 140,000 ounces of gold at the Wynberg A Prospect. During the second half of 2013, the Company announced the discovery of 2 additional copper-gold targets at the Wynberg B and C Prospects, outlined by programs of surface soil geochemistry and rock chip sampling. More recently, initial reconnaissance RC drilling at the Wynberg B prospect intersected anomalous gold and copper mineralisation, confirming the prospectivity of the prospect. At a corporate level, there were no changes to the board of directors or senior management in the Company. As the sole Executive Director and CEO, it has been satisfying to work with the board and our team to achieve the excellent progress over the last financial year. In noting the above achievements, it is disappointing to see the lacklustre performance of the Company’s share price. The Board is keenly aware of this and we believe that by continuing to deliver real progress on the ground our shareholders will ultimately be rewarded. Yours faithfully, Marcel Hilmer Executive Director and CEO ANNUAL REPORT 2014 1 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Directors Report 30 June 2014 DIRECTORS REPORT The Directors of Caravel Minerals Limited (the “company”) present their report on the consolidated entity (the “group”) consisting of Caravel Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries for the year ended 30 June 2014.

Mr Robertson currently holds the position of Company Secretary for a number of public listed companies and has experience in corporate finance, accounting and administration, capital raisings and ASX compliance and regulatory requirements. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the group during the financial year were the exploration of mineral tenements in Queensland and Western Australia. DIVIDENDS No dividends have been declared, provided for or paid in respect of the year ended 30 June 2014. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES Summary Review of Activities Caravel is a junior explorer domiciled in Perth, Australia and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: CVV). The Company is a gold, copper and base metals exploration and resource development company with projects located in Queensland and Western Australia. Caravel has a technically strong and well-established exploration and mine development team. During the 2014 year the Company rationalized its exploration portfolio from sale or surrender of a number of tenements that were not considered central to the long-term strategy. The Company’s focus is on its 100%-owned Calingiri Project in Western Australia located 120km NE of Perth, near Calingiri, Western Australia. This project released two JORC compliant Exploration Targets with a substantial range of tonnes of copper and molybdenum in early July 2013 and again in June 2014. Another priority project is the Cloncurry- style copper-gold mineralisation and alteration at the Wynberg Project, located 30 km east of Cloncurry in North Queensland. The Company announced the discovery of broad zones of primary Cloncurry-style copper-gold mineralisation and alteration. The results have significantly upgraded the potential and prospectivity of the Wynberg Project and a drilling campaign commenced in July 2014. During the year the Company released a number of additional news releases on the progress at the Calingiri and Wynberg Projects which are available from the Company website or from the ASX. The company’s future activities will focus on completing additional exploration at Calingiri including IP, diamond and RC drilling, as well as soil sampling and RC drilling at the Wynberg Project. During the year the Company received R&D rebates from the Australian Government for eligible exploration expenditure incurred in the financial year ending 30 June 2013 at the Calingiri Project being $58,179 and at the now disposed Quinns Project being $231,692. An additional claim for 2014 eligible expenditure will be lodged with the Company tax return but no rebate has been booked in the accounts at 30 June 2014 as it is subject to approval by the Australian Taxation Office. CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL POSITION The group’s net loss from operations for the year was $3,490,998 (2013: $7,555,741). At 30 June 2014 the group had a cash balance of $734,753 (2013: $1,908,222). This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group had net assets of $4,280,546 (2013: $5,464,701). The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report the Group believes it can meet all liabilities as and when they fall due. However, the Directors recognise that additional funding through the issue of shares or entering into joint venture agreements will be required for the Group to continue to actively explore its mineral properties. The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to be successful in securing additional funds through equity issues as and when the need to raise funds arises. BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND PROSPECTS The group currently has the following business strategies and prospects over the medium to long term: (i) Seek to maximise the value of the group through successful exploration activities; (ii) Selectively expand the group’s portfolio of exploration assets; and (iii) Examine other new business development opportunities in the mining and resources sector. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 3 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Directors Report (Continued) 30 June 2014 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS During the year the company sold, ceased activity and or surrendered a number of tenements that were not central to the long-term strategy of Caravel During the year the Company raised additional capital of $2,153,968 through the issue of 149,366,169 shares as detailed in note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Included in this amount were share based payments of $249,477 issued to a drilling contractor and capital raising costs of $3,600 with net cash received of $1,908,097. MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR At the date of this report there are no other matters or circumstances, which have arisen since 30 June 2014 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect: (i) (ii) (iii) the operations in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2014 of the group; the results of those operations in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2014 of the group; or the state of affairs in financial years subsequent to 30 June 2014 of the group. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE The group’s operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations under the relevant government’s legislation. Full compliance with these laws and regulations is regarded as a minimum standard for all operations to achieve. Instances of environmental non-compliance by an operation are identified either by external compliance audits or inspections by relevant government authorities. There have been no significant known breaches by the group during the financial period. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS It is the Board's current intention that the group will seek to progress exploration on current projects. The group will also continue to examine new opportunities in the mining and resources sector where appropriate. These activities are inherently risky and there can be no certainty that the group will be able to successfully achieve the objectives. GREENHOUSE GAS AND ENERGY DATA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Directors have considered compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 which requires entities to report annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The directors have assessed that there are no current reporting requirements, but may be required to do so in the future. MEETINGS OF DIRECTORS The following table sets out the number of meetings of the Company's directors held during the period ended 30 June 2014, and the number of meetings attended by each director. Marcel Hilmer James Harris Brett McKeon Peter Alexander Board Meetings Number Eligible to attend Board Meetings Number attended 5 5 5 5 5 5 4 3 INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS During or since the end of the financial year the Company has given an indemnity or entered into an agreement to indemnify, or paid or agreed to pay insurance premiums as follows: The Company has paid premiums to insure each of the directors against liabilities for costs and expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in the capacity of director of the Company, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Company.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the period ended 30 June 2014 by the auditor (BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (“BDO”)) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001, as: (i) There were no non-audit service provided during the year; and (ii) Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the period by the auditor are outlined in Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on the above, the Board is satisfied that the nature and scope of the non-audit service provided did not compromise the auditor’s independence. AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION The auditor’s independence declaration is on page 17 of the Annual Report.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014 5 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Directors Report (Continued) 30 June 2014 REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives. To this end, the Company embodies the following principles in its remuneration framework: • • Provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives; and Link executive rewards to shareholder value. Due to the early stage of development which the Company is in, shareholder wealth is directly affected by the Company share price, as the Company is not in a position to pay dividends. By remunerating Directors and Executives in part by share based payments, the Company aims to align the interests of Directors and Executives with Shareholder wealth, thus providing individual incentive to perform and thereby improving overall Company performance and associated value. As the Company has only been incorporated since June 2006 and is in the development stage of an inherently risky industry, the remuneration policy does not currently take into account current or prior year earnings. Other than share based payments made to the directors from time to time, there is no specific link to the Company’s performance and directors’ remuneration. REMUNERATION STRUCTURE In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors to the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate directors' fees payable to non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. Shareholders’ have approved aggregate directors' fees payable of $300,000 per year. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Fees for non- executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company or shareholder wealth. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and subject to shareholder approval, have received or may receive options or shares issued under the Caravel Employee Share Acquisition Plan. This effectively links directors’ performance to the share price performance and therefore to the interests of shareholders. For this reason there are no performance conditions prior to grant, but instead an incentive to increase the value to all shareholders. During the financial years ended 30 June 2014 and 2013 no options were granted to Non-Executive Directors. All remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors is valued at cost to the Company and expensed. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the years ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 is detailed on page 8 of this report. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION Objective The Company aims to reward executives (both directors and company executives) with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to: • • • Reward executives for Company performance; Align the interest of executives with those of shareholders; and Ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 6 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Directors Report (Continued) 30 June 2014 Structure The remuneration policy for executives is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a specific equity related component. The board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Company and the activities which it undertakes and is appropriate in aligning director objectives with shareholder and business objectives. The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors. Fixed Remuneration Objective The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration. Fixed remuneration is to be reviewed annually and the process consists of a review of company and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal policies and practices. Structure Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. The remuneration policy going forward in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors has been developed by the board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors. The remuneration of executives for the years ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 are detailed in Tables 1 and 2 respectively on page 8 of this report. Variable Remuneration Objective The objective of variable remuneration provided is to reward executives in a manner which aligns this element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Structure Variable remuneration may be delivered in the form of options or cash bonus. No cash bonuses were granted during the year ended 30 June 2014 or in the prior year. No shares or options were granted to executives during the year ended 30 June 2014. During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, there were 7,500,000 shares granted to the Executive Director under the terms of the Caravel Employee Share Acquisition Plan. Executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% (9.25% for the year ended 30 June 2014) and do not receive any other retirement benefit. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. All remuneration paid to executives is valued at cost to the Company and expensed. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS Executive Director and CEO (current) The employment conditions of the Executive Director, Mr Marcel Hilmer, are formalised in a contract of employment with the current contract for a two year fixed term, which commenced on 20 November 2012. The total current remuneration package as at 30 June 2014 was $208,941 per annum inclusive of a 9.25% superannuation contribution. Notice of at least three months is required for either party to terminate the contract.

OPTIONS ISSUED As discussed above under “Remuneration Structure”, options granted to Directors and other KMP are not linked to either individual performance or the performance of the Company, but are instead issued as an incentive to align the goals of Directors and other KMP with those of all shareholders. There are no performance conditions prior to vesting and all options were issued for nil consideration. No options were granted to Directors or other KMP for the years ending 30 June 2014. There were no alterations to the terms and conditions of options granted as remuneration since their grant date. There were no forfeitures or cancellations during the year. The maximum grant, which will be payable assuming that all service criteria are met, is equal to the number of options granted multiplied by the fair value at the grant date.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS ROLE OF THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT The Board represents shareholders’ interests in developing and then continuing a successful business, which seeks to optimise medium to long-term financial gains for shareholders. By not focusing on short-term gains for shareholders, the Board believes that this will ultimately result in the interests of all stakeholders being appropriately addressed when making business decisions. The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Company is managed in such a way to best achieve this desired result. Given the early development stage of this business, the Board currently undertakes an active, not passive role. The Board is responsible for evaluating and setting the strategic directions for the Company, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. The Executive Director is responsible to the Board for the day-to-day management of the Company. The Board has sole responsibility for the following: ! Protection and enhancement of shareholder value. ! Formulation, review and approval of the objectives and strategic direction of the Company. ! Monitoring the financial performance of the Company by reviewing and approving budgets and monitoring results. ! Approving all significant business transactions including acquisitions, divestments and capital expenditure. ! Ensuring that adequate internal control systems and procedures exist and that compliance with these systems and procedures is maintained. ! The identification of significant business risks and ensuring that such risks are adequately managed. ! The review of performance and remuneration of executive directors and key staff. ! The establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards. ! Evaluating and, where appropriate, adopting with or without modification the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. The Board recognises the need for the Company to operate with the highest standards of behaviour and accountability. The Company seeks to follow the best practice recommendations for listed companies as outlined in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations where appropriate for its size and the complexity of its operations. As the Company’s activities increase in size, scope and/or nature the Company’s corporate governance principles will be reviewed by the Board and amended as appropriate. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 12 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) 30 June 2014 COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD AND NEW APPOINTMENTS The Company currently has the following Board members: Marcel Hilmer James Harris Brett McKeon Peter Alexander Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Independent Non-Executive Director Independent Non-Executive Director Independent Non-Executive Director The Company’s Constitution provides that the number of Directors shall not be less than three and not more than ten. There is no requirement for any share holding qualification. The Board believes that the individuals on the Board can make, and do make, quality and independent judgements in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues. The Board also requires the CEO and the Chairperson roles be fulfilled by different individuals. Currently the Company does not have a formally appointed chairperson. As the Company’s activities increase in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board will be reviewed and the optimum number of Directors required for the Board to properly perform its assigned responsibilities and functions will be appointed. The membership of the Board, its activities and composition are subject to periodic review. The criteria for determining the identification and appointment of a suitable candidate for the Board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement, compatibility with other Board members, credibility within the Company’s scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to Board duties and physical ability to undertake Board duties and responsibilities. Directors are initially appointed by the full Board subject to election by shareholders at the next annual general meeting. Under the Company’s Constitution the tenure of Directors (other than Executive Director, regardless of whether this is a joint or singular position) is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his last appointment. Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the Board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum period of service as a Director. An Executive Director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the Directors think fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into, the Board may revoke any appointment. COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate or special committees at this time including audit, remuneration or nomination committees preferring at this stage to manage the Company through the full board of Directors. The Board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the full scope of the Company’s activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards. The full Board currently holds meetings at such times as may be necessary to address any general or specific matters as required. If the Group’s activities increase in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate or special committees will be reviewed by the Board and implemented if appropriate. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company’s Constitution, Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company. Where the Board believes that a significant conflict exists the Director concerned does not receive the relevant board papers and is not present at the meeting whilst the item is considered. INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE The Board has determined that individual Directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as Directors, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. The engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably. If appropriate, any advice so received will be made available to all Board members. ETHICAL STANDARDS The Board acknowledges the need for continued maintenance of the highest standard of corporate governance practice and ethical conduct by all Directors and employees of the Company. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 13 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) 30 June 2014 CODE OF CONDUCT FOR DIRECTORS The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct for Directors to promote ethical and responsible decision making by the Directors. The Code is based on a Code of Conduct for Directors prepared by the Australian Institute of Company Directors. CODE OF CONDUCT FOR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS The Company has established a Code of Conduct (Code) which aims to develop a consistent understanding of, and approach to, the desired standards of conduct and behaviour of the directors, officers, employees and contractors (collectively, the Employees) in carrying out their roles for the Company. Through this Code, the Company seeks to encourage and develop a culture of professionalism, honesty and responsibility in order to maintain and enhance its reputation as a valued employer, business operator and "corporate citizen". The Code is designed to broadly outline the ways in which the Company wishes to conduct its business. The Code does not cover every possible situation that Employees may face, but is intended to provide Employees with a guide to taking a commonsense approach to any given situation, within an overall framework. DEALINGS IN COMPANY SECURITIES The Company has established a Security Trading Policy that is provided to all Directors and employees on commencement. The constitution permits directors to acquire shares or options in the Company. The Company’s policy prohibits Directors from dealing in shares or options whilst in possession of price sensitive information not released to the public. Directors must notify the company secretary once they have bought or sold shares or options in the Company or exercised options over ordinary shares. In accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange, the Company on behalf of the directors must advise the Australian Securities Exchange of any transactions conducted by them in shares and / or options in the Company. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION POLICY The Disclosure of Information Policy requires all executives and Directors to inform the Executive Director / CEO or the Company Secretary when the Executive Director / CEO is not available, of any potentially material information as soon as practicable after they become aware of that information. Information is material if it is likely that the information would influence investors who commonly acquire securities on ASX in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold the Company’s securities. Information is not material and need not be disclosed if: a) b) c) A reasonable person would not expect the information to be disclosed or is material but due to a specific valid commercial reason is not to be disclosed; and The information is confidential; and One of the following applies: i. It would breach a law or regulation to disclose the information; ii. The information concerns an incomplete proposal or negotiation; iii. The information comprises matters of supposition or is insufficiently definite to warrant disclosure; iv. The information is generated for internal management purposes; v. The information is a trade secret; The Executive Director is responsible for interpreting and monitoring the Company’s disclosure policy and where necessary informing the Board. The company secretary is responsible for all communications with ASX. COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS The Company’s communication strategy requires communication with shareholders and other stakeholders in an open, regular and timely manner so that the market has sufficient information to make informed investment decisions on the operations and results of the Company. The strategy provides for the use of systems that ensure a regular and timely release of information about the Company is provided to shareholders. Mechanisms employed include: • Announcements lodged with ASX; • ASX Quarterly Cash Flow Reports; • Half Yearly Report; • Periodic presentations to investors; • Presentations at the Annual General Meeting/General Meetings; and • Annual Report. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 14 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) 30 June 2014 The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and understanding of the Company’s strategy and goals. RISK MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The Board adopts practices designed to identify significant areas of business risk and to effectively manage those risks in accordance with the Company’s risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing operational, financial reporting, and compliance risks for the Company. The Company is not of a size nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a formal system for reporting risk management and associated compliance and controls. Instead, a director, in accordance with company policy, approves all expenditure, is intimately acquainted with all operations and reports all relevant issues to the other directors at the directors’ meetings. RISK PROFILE The Company is not currently considered to be of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the establishment of a separate Risk Management Committee. Instead, the board, as part of its usual role and through direct involvement in the management of the Company’s operations ensures risks are identified, assessed and appropriately managed. Where necessary, the board draws on the expertise of appropriate external consultants to assist in dealing with or mitigating risk. Major risks arise from such matters as actions by competitors, government policy changes, the robustness of the technologies being used or proposed to be used, environment, occupational health and safety, financial reporting and the purchase, development and use of information systems. RISK MANAGEMENT, COMPLIANCE AND CONTROL The board acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall internal control framework, but recognises that no cost effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. INTEGRITY OF FINANCIAL REPORTING The Company’s Executive Director / CEO and Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) report in writing to the Board that: • • • the financial statements of the Company for each half and full year present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with accounting standards; the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board; and the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control framework is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects. ROLE OF AUDITOR The Company’s practice is to invite the auditor to attend the 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. PERFORMANCE REVIEW The Board has adopted a self-evaluation process to measure its own performance during each financial year. Also, an annual review is undertaken in relation to the composition and skills mix of the Directors of the Company. Arrangements will be put in place by the Board to monitor the performance of the Company’s executives to include: • a review by the Board of the Company’s financial performance; and • annual performance appraisal meetings incorporating analysis of key performance indicators with each individual. REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS The Company’s Remuneration Policy is set out in the Remuneration Report Section of the Director’s Report, and is also included in the 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 15 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) 30 June 2014 DIVERSITY The Company recognizes the value contributed to the organization by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. Caravel believes its diverse workforce is the key to its continued, growth, improved productivity and performance. In line with the Corporate Governance recommendations, the Company has implemented a Diversity Policy which is available from the Company’s website. Although the Company has a small workforce, 13% of its workforce at 30 June 2014 were female. This has been consistent during the year ended 30 June 2014. The Company promotes an inclusive culture and has a zero tolerance of discrimination. No cases of discrimination were reported during the year. The company is supportive of flexible working arrangements. Due to the size of the company, working arrangements are dealt with on a case by case basis. The Executive Director is responsible for the ongoing implementation of the diversity policy. COMPLIANCE WITH ASX CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RECOMMENDATIONS During the Company’s 2014 financial year (“Reporting Period”) the Company complied with the ASX Principles and Recommendations other than in relation to the matters specified below. Principle No 2.2 2.4 Best Practice Recommendation The chairperson should be an independent director. A separate Nomination Committee has not been formed. 3.2, 3.3 The Diversity Policy does not include measureable objectives for achieving gender diversity. 4.1,4.2, 4.3 A separate Audit Committee has not been formed. 8.1, 8.2 There is no separate Remuneration Committee. Reasons for Non-compliance required Currently the Company does not have a formally appointed chairperson. The Board will consider the appointment of a chairperson at an appropriate time. Three of the four current Board members are independent directors. The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size to justify the formation of a nomination committee. The Board as a whole undertakes the process of reviewing the skill base and experience of existing Directors to enable identification of attributes in new Directors. Where appropriate independent consultants are engaged to identify possible new candidates for the Board. The Board considers due to the size of the Company setting of measurable diversity objectives The company has minimal full time employees and utilises external consultants and contractors time workforce as and when required. The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of an audit committee. The Board as a whole undertakes the selection and proper application of accounting policies, the identification and management of risk and the review of the operation of the internal control systems. The Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of a remuneration committee.

CORPORATE INFORMATION The annual report of Caravel Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 25 September 2014. Caravel Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of operations and principal activities of the Company are described in the Directors’ Report. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Basis of preparation These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Caravel Minerals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. Compliance with IFRS These financial statements comply with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. b) Changes in accounting policies The Company has adopted the following new and revised standards, along with any consequential amendments, effective 1 July 2013. These changes have been made in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions. (i) AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, revised AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements, AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards and AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Transition Guidance and Other Amendments (effective 1 January 2013) In August 2011, the AASB issued a suite of five new and amended standards which address the accounting for joint arrangements, consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures. AASB 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and Interpretation 12 Consolidation –Special Purpose Entities. The core principle that a consolidated entity presents a parent and its subsidiaries as if they are a single economic entity remains unchanged, as do the mechanics of consolidation. However, the standard introduces a single definition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Returns must vary and can be positive, negative or both. Control exists when the investor can use its power to affect the amount of its returns. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. The Company has assessed its consolidation conclusions at 1 July 2013 and has determined that adoption of AASB 10 did not result in any change to the consolidation status of any of its subsidiaries. AASB 11 introduces a principles based approach to accounting for joint arrangements. The focus is no longer on the legal structure of joint arrangements, but rather on how rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement. Based on the assessment of rights and obligations, a joint arrangement will be classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, and the choice to proportionately consolidate will no longer be permitted. Parties to a joint operation will account for their share of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities in much the same way as under the previous standard. AASB 11 also provides guidance for parties that participate in joint arrangements but do not share joint control. The group’s investment in various tenement farm-in agreements is classified as joint operations under the new rules. As the group already recognises its own expenses, assets and liabilities in accounting for these investments, AASB 11 has not had any impact on the amounts recognised in its financial statements from 1 July 2013. AASB 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the two new standards, AASB 10 and AASB 11, and replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in AASB 127 and AASB 128. Application of this standard by the group from 1 July 2013 does not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but has impacted the type of information disclosed in relation to the group’s investments. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 22 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) b) Changes in accounting policies (continued) Amendments to AASB 128 provide clarification that an entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure its retained interest as part of ownership changes where a joint venture becomes an associate, and vice versa. The amendments also introduce a “partial disposal” concept. The group has adopted the amendments to AASB 128 at 1 July 2013 and there has been no impact on the amounts recognised in its financial statements from this date. The group has adopted the new standards from their operative date. They will therefore be applied in the financial statements for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014. (ii) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 January 2013) AASB 13 was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The group has determined that none of its current measurement techniques has to change as a result of the new guidance. Application of this standard from 1 July 2013 has had no impact on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, application of the new standard has resulted in additional disclosures in the half-year accounts around fair value techniques for the Group’s financial instruments and will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the annual financial statements. The group has adopted the new standard from its operative date, which means that it will be applied in the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014. (iii) Revised AASB 119 Employee Benefits and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) In September 2011, the AASB released a revised standard on accounting for employee benefits. It requires the recognition of all remeasurements of defined benefit liabilities/assets immediately in other comprehensive income (removal of the so-called ‘corridor’ method), the immediate recognition of all past service cost in profit or loss and the calculation of a net interest expense or income by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. This replaces the expected return on plan assets that is currently included in profit or loss. The standard also introduces a number of additional disclosures for defined benefit liabilities/assets and could affect the timing of the recognition of termination benefits. Employee benefits expected to be settled (as opposed to due to settled under current standard) within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are short-term benefits, and therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. Annual leave not expected to be used within 12 months of end of reporting period will in future be discounted when calculating leave liability. The amendments will have to be implemented retrospectively. This standard has no impact on the financial statements as there are no leave provision amounts that are non-current. The Group has applied the new standard from 1 July 2013. (iv) Interpretation 20 (issued November 2011): Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine (Effective 1 January 2013) Clarifies that costs of removing mine waste materials (overburden) to gain access to mineral ore deposits during the production phase of a mine must be capitalised as inventories under AASB 102 Inventories if the benefits from stripping activity is realised in the form of inventory produced. Otherwise, if stripping activity provides improved access to the ore, stripping costs must be capitalised as a non-current, stripping activity asset if certain recognition criteria are met (as an addition to, or enhancement of, an existing asset). The entity does not currently operate a surface mine. Therefore adoption of this interpretation has not had any impact on the amounts recognised in its financial statements from 1 July 2013. c) Principles of consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Caravel Minerals Limited (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Caravel Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. A list of controlled entities is contained in note 4 to the financial statements. 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 impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 23 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) c) Principles of consolidation (continued) The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. d) Foreign currency transactions and balances 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 Caravel Minerals Limited’s functional and presentation currency. Transaction and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss. Group companies The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows: - - - assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed. e) Investments and other financial assets Classification The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition. 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 are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 24 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) e) Investments and other financial assets (continued) Measurement At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income. Fair value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities held at cost less impairment, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment of assets The consolidated entity assesses at each reporting 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 as an indicator that the securities are 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 profit or loss – is removed from equity and included in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through profit or loss. Recognition and derecognition Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the consolidated entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and reward of ownership. When the securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in profit or loss as gains and losses for investment securities. f) Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred as an operating cost of the Group. Costs related to the acquisition of properties that contain mineral resources are capitalised and allocated separately to specific areas of interest. These costs are capitalised until the viability of the area of interest is determined. g) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated on either the straight-line basis or diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used are as follows: Plant and equipment Exploration equipment Vehicles Leasehold improvements Computer equipment and software 30% 25% 30% 25% 40% The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Derecognition Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 25 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) h) Impairment of assets Caravel Minerals Limited conducts an annual internal review of asset values, which is used as a source of information to assess for any indicators of impairment. External factors, such as changes in expected future processes, technology and economic conditions, are also monitored to assess for indicators of impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. 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 inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non- financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. i) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest Interest revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying value amount of the financial asset. Government Grants Government grant revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. j) Income tax The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose on goodwill or in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against tax liabilities and the deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. k) Cash and cash equivalents “Cash and cash equivalents” includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of any bank overdrafts. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 26 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) l) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised and carried at original invoice amount less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. A provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. Financial assets carried at amortised cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. m) Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Company as a lessee Operating lease payments, where substantially all the risk and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease incentives are recognised as a liability when received and subsequently reduced by allocating lease payments between rental expense and reduction of the liability. n) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for the goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days. o) Provisions and employee benefits Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (either legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date using a discounted cash flow methodology. The risks specific to the provision are factored into the cash flows and as such a risk-free government bond rate relative to the expected life of the provision is used as a discount rate. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised in finance costs. Employee leave benefits 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 respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non- accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. p) Share based payments The Group provides benefits to Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors of the Group in the form of share- based payments, whereby the Directors, employees, consultants and other advisors render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black-Scholes model. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the market price of the shares of the Company if applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant recipient becomes fully entitled to the award (the vesting period). ANNUAL REPORT 2014 27 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) p) Share based payments (continued) The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only conditional upon a market condition. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share- based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the recipient, as measured at the date of modification. If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see Note 6). Under the employee share scheme, shares are issued to employees by providing interest free loans and will vest over the restriction period. The shares are held by the Trust until the loan is repaid. Within the loan period the employee must have paid off the loan balance, at which point the shares are delivered to the employee, or surrendered the shares. Surrender of the shares by the employee after the restriction period, is treated as discharging any outstanding amount on the loan, irrespective of the value of the shares. The effect of such an arrangement is equivalent to an option with a strike price per share equal to the share price on grant date. q) Contributed equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. r) Earnings per share (EPS) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after 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. s) Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: • • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 28 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) t) Segment reporting AASB 8 requires a management approach under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. Operating segments are now reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). u) Government grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. v) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition. Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet. A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the income statement. w) Acquisition accounting When an asset acquisition does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial recognition exemption for deferred tax under AASB 112 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset. x) Going Concern This report is prepared on the going concern basis which assumes the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group incurred a net loss of $3,490,998 during the year ended 30 June 2014 and as of that date the Group had net assets of $4,280,546 (2013: $5,464,701). The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report the Group believes it can meet all liabilities as and when they fall due. However, the Directors recognise that additional funding through the issue of shares will be required for the Group to continue to actively explore its mineral properties. The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to be successful in securing additional funds through equity issues as and when the need to raise funds arises. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 29 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) y) New accounting standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2014 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. (i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and completes phases I and III of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 'Hedge Accounting' supersedes the general hedge accounting requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new simpler approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more closely align with risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity. (ii) AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The amendments add application guidance to address inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation', by clarifying the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off'; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems may be considered to be equivalent to net settlement. The adoption of the amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity. (iii) AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The disclosure requirements of AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets' have been enhanced to require additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposals. Additionally, if measured using a present value technique, the discount rate is required to be disclosed. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 may increase the disclosures by the consolidated entity. (iv) AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and amends AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' to permit continuation of hedge accounting in circumstances where a derivative (designated as hedging instrument) is novated from one counter party to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity (v) AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Investment Entities These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and allow entities that meet the definition of an 'investment entity' to account for their investments at fair value through profit or loss. An investment entity is not required to consolidate investments in entities it controls, or apply AASB 3 'Business Combinations' when it obtains control of another entity, nor is it required to equity account or proportionately consolidate associates and joint ventures if it meets the criteria for exemption in the standard. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will have no impact on the consolidated entity. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 30 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) y) New accounting standards and interpretations that are not yet mandatory (continued) (vi) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and affects several Accounting Standards as follows: Amends the definition of 'vesting conditions' and 'market condition' and adds definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition' in AASB 2 'Share-based Payment'; Amends AASB 3 'Business Combinations' to clarify that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date; Amends AASB 8 'Operating Segments' to require entities to disclose the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria; Clarifies that AASB 8 only requires a reconciliation of the total reportable segments assets to the entity's assets, if the segment assets are reported regularly; Clarifies that the issuance of AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement' and the amending of AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' and AASB 9 'Financial Instruments' did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amount, if the effect of discounting is immaterial; Clarifies that in AASB 116 'Property, Plant and Equipment' and AASB 138 'Intangible Assets', when an asset is revalued the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount (i.e. proportional restatement of accumulated amortisation); and Amends AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures' to clarify that an entity providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is a 'related party' of the reporting entity. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity. (vii) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and affects four Accounting Standards as follows: Clarifies the 'meaning of effective IFRSs' in AASB 1 'First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards'; Clarifies that AASB 3 'Business Combination' excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself; Clarifies that the scope of the portfolio exemption in AASB 13 'Fair Value Measurement' includes all contracts accounted for within the scope of AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' or AASB 9 'Financial Instruments', regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in AASB 132 'Financial Instruments: Presentation'; and Clarifies that determining whether a specific transaction meets the definition of both a business combination as defined in AASB 3 'Business Combinations' and investment property as defined in AASB 140 'Investment Property' requires the separate application of both standards independently of each other. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported in future periods. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements. Significant accounting judgements Determination of mineral resources The determination of mineral resources impacts the accounting for asset carrying values. Caravel Minerals Limited estimates its mineral resources in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012 (the ‘JORC’ Code). The information on mineral resources was prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code. The amounts presented are based on the mineral resources determined under the JORC Code. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources, and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. ANNUAL REPORT 2014 31 CARAVEL MINERALS LIMITED Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) For the Year Ended 30 June 2014 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS (CONTINUED) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure It is the Group’s policy to capitalise costs related to the acquisition of properties that contain mineral resources. The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale. Factors that could impact future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which the determination is made. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is determined by the Company Secretary using a Black-Scholes model, with the assumptions detailed in Note 21. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity. Valuation of performance shares issued During the year ended 30 June 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Gledich Associates Pty Ltd to purchase certain tenements. Consideration for the tenements included 2,000,000 performance shares (issued 2 September 2011). The performance shares are subject to performance milestones (as disclosed in Note 19). The Company has valued the performance shares at $nil at 30 June 2014 as achievement of the performance milestones are not probable. If the performance milestones are not met by 30 April 2016, the 2,000,000 performance shares are converted into 1 ordinary share on that date. 4.

SEGMENT INFORMATION Management has determined that the Group operates in one industry, in two geographical locations, being mineral exploration in Australia and Spain. As the Group is focused on mineral exploration, the Board monitors the Group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred by area of interest. Operating segments are now reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), which have been identified by the Group as the Chief Executive Officer and members of the Board of Directors.

On 1 August 2012 the Company established a wholly owned Spanish subsidiary Recuros Minerales Caravel Espana S.L. (“RMCE”) to complete the exploration on the project. As a result of unsatisfactory drilling results from an extensive exploration program conducted from August to December 2012, the Company decided to cease further exploration in Spain. At 30 June 2014 RMCE has ceased operations and is currently in liquidation.

PROVISIONS Employee benefits 85,315 100,187 Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave and long service leave. For long service leave it covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision of $85,315 (2013 - $100,187) is presented as current, since the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not to be expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months. Current leave obligations expected to be settled after 12 months 18,570 19,702 The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been included in Note 2 to this report.

CONTRIBUTED EQUITY (CONTINUED) 2,000,000 Unlisted Performance Shares (issued 2 September 2011) The Performance Shares will convert to ordinary shares on a 1 for 1 basis on satisfaction, prior to the expiry date, of the Verification Milestone. The Verification Milestone is the identification of an independently calculated Mineral Resource of 250,000 ounces of gold at the Indicated Category as defined by JORC or such amount of a metal other than gold that has an equivalent value at the time of determination as 250,000 ounces of gold from the tenements acquired under the Heads of Agreement. The expiry date is 30 April 2016. The Performance Shares do not carry voting rights and are not transferable. There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Performance Shares and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital during the currency of the Performance Shares. If the Company is wound up prior to conversion of the Performance Shares the Performance Shareholders have no right to be paid cash for the issue price, nor any right to participate in the surplus assets or profits of the Company. If prior to the expiry date the Verification Milestone is not met, then the total number of Performance Shares will convert into one ordinary share. No value has been attributed to the Performance Shares as the tenement has been abandoned and the Verification Milestone will not be achieved. Treasury shares Information relating to the employee share acquisition plan is disclosed in note 22(a). (d) Capital Risk Management When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Being at an exploration stage, the Company does not generate cash inflows from its operations to fund its exploration and working capital requirements, therefore, the Company may issue shares to either generate cash for operations or to acquire assets in order to maintain adequate levels of cash reserves. During the financial year ended 30 June 2014, the Company issued 165,325,137 ordinary shares including treasury shares (2013: 367,764,862 ordinary shares). The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. 20.

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED) (vi) Option pricing model Options granted as part of employee emoluments and advisor services have been independently valued using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation model, which takes account of factors including the option exercise price, the current level and volatility of the underlying share price, the risk-free interest rate, expected dividends on the underlying share, current market price of the underlying share and the expected life of the option. See below for the assumptions used for grants made during the period ended 30 June 2014: Dividend yield (%) Expected volatility (%) Risk free interest rate (%) Expected life of the option (years) Option exercise price ($) Share price at grant date ($) 2014 0% 128% 3.00% 3 years $0.021 $0.013 2013 0% 108% 2.42% 1-2 years $0.026-$0.030 $0.015 The dividend yield reflects the assumption that the current dividend payout will remain unchanged. The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. (vii) Option modifications There were no changes to the exercise price of existing options during the year ended 30 June 2014. On 28 June 2013, as a result of Rights Issue of one (1) Share for every three (3) Shares held at an issue price of $0.015, the exercise price of the following options were adjusted in accordance with the respective terms and conditions attached to the options: Option Type Listed Options Unlisted Options Unlisted Options Unlisted Options Unlisted Options Unlisted Options Unlisted Options Unlisted Options (c) Shares Exercise Price $ 0.0700 0.7500 0.1750 0.4200 0.0260 0.2000 0.3000 0.0295 Expiry Date 15-Jun-2015 31-Aug-2013 06-Sep-2013 15-Dec-2013 9-May-2014 21-Nov-2014 21-Nov-2014 9-May-2015 New Exercise Price $ 0.0692 0.7492 0.1742 0.4192 0.0252 0.1992 0.2992 0.0287 In March, May and June 2014 shares were issued to a drilling contractor for drilling services.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial risk management The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund capital expenditure on the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and has been throughout the period under review, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken. Being at an exploration stage, the Group has limited exposure to risks arising from its financial instruments. Currently the Group does not have any exposure to commodity price risk or foreign currency risk as the Group has ceased operations in Spain. As the Group moves into development and production phases, exposure to commodity price risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk are expected to increase. The Board will set appropriate policies to manage these risks dependent on market conditions and requirements at that time. Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset and financial liability are disclosed in Note 2. (a) Credit risk Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. The majority of cash and cash equivalents is held with one Australian Bank which has an AA- long-term credit rating from Standard and Poor’s. Wherever possible, the Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group. Since the Group trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group does not have sufficient funds to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. The Group currently does not have major funding in place. However the Group continuously monitors forecast and actual cash flows and the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities to manage its liquidity risk. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans if and when required. Cash at bank and on hand, as set out in Note 9, is available for use by the Group without restrictions. Financial liabilities (note 17) of the Group at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 are expected to be settled within 6 months of year-end. (c) Market risk Price risk The group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the group and classified as available-for-sale. The group is not exposed to commodity price risk. The sensitivity of movements in the price has not been disclosed as it is not material to the Group. Foreign currency risk The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements represents their respective net fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2. Interest rate risk The following tables summarise the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets to interest rate risk. Had the relevant variables, as illustrated in the tables, moved, with all other variables held constant, post tax loss and equity would have been affected as shown. The analysis has been performed on the same basis for 2014 and 2013, and represents management’s judgement of a reasonably possible movement.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Caravel Minerals Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania. Opinion In our opinion: (a) the financial report of Caravel Minerals Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2. Emphasis of matter Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(x) in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon additional funding through the issue of shares. This condition, along with other matters as set out in Note 2(x), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business at amounts stated in the financial statements. Report on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Opinion In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Caravel Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
