Executive Chairman’s Report
De Grey Mining Limited
In the past year De Grey has completed two drill programmes, a mapping programme, a geophysical survey and field sampling
programmes on the Sierra Morena project and a field sampling programme over the Boleadora project, both located in the Santa Cruz
province in the Patagonia region of southern Argentina.
The results have been technical successes in that we have identified two systems mineralised with gold and silver. It is a credit to De
Grey’s technical team that in less than 3 years they were able to locate and test by drilling two mineralized epithermal systems.
De Grey has identified two systems at Sierra Morena, SM6 and Vein Breccia Zone, and shown that each is mineralized with gold and
silver. The processing of all the data collected shows that the work to date has been located at the northern edge of both systems with the
continuation extending to the south and at depth. Mineralization to date has not been extensive and further work is required to determine if
either system contains viable economic mineralization.
In late 2012 De Grey purchased the Puhipuhi project, permit EP51985, north of Whangerai in Northlands New Zealand from Waihi Gold
Company. Puhipuhi is host to epithermal gold and silver mineralisation and has been subject to limited exploration with a total of 50 drill
holes previously drilled in the 6,116 hectares permit.
In 2013 De Grey was successful in the NZ government ballot process and a further two permit applications were awarded to De Grey
bringing the total permitted area to 14,581 hectare. De Grey has re-processed all the historic data and completed two sampling programmes
at Puhipuhi and is now in a position to design and complete a drilling programme.
During the year De Grey raised $1,397,000 through placement and a partially underwritten rights issue, with these funds spent on
exploration programs.
Difficult capital market conditions, together with the high cost of exploring in Argentina resulted in De Grey finishing the year with limited
financial resources. Economic necessity has led to staff reductions and suspension of director and board payments.
The Company has recently announced a further capital raising through DJ Carmichael Pty Limited, in two tranches to raise $571,250. The
funds provide a platform for the Company to move forward. Consequently De Grey is reviewing all projects and contracts held by the
Company.
The arrangements with DJ Carmichael and Co also resulted in certain Board changes, with Jason Brewer resigning in favour of Simon Lill.
We thank Jason for his time and welcome Simon’s future contributions. I take this opportunity to thank our administration and support staff
and my fellow directors for their efforts during the year.
I thank De Grey shareholders for their continuing support of the Company and look forward to a better 12 months ahead.

Operations Report
PROJECT REVIEW PROCESS
With the current difficult capital market conditions for junior explorers and the high cost of operating in remote and difficult jurisdictions
such as the Patagonia region of Argentina De Grey is currently reviewing all of its projects to determine their value to the Company and to
attempt to derive value for our shareholders.
The Company’s recent capital raising does not provide enough funds to provide any meaningful exploration programs on the Company’s
suite of assets, so economic necessity is likely to see the Company having to reduce its project holdings.
ARGENTINA PROJECTS
Santa Cruz Province Overview
De Grey Mining holds mineral rights over approximately 3,255 sq km of ground in the Deseado Massif (Figure 1).
De Grey has targeted areas where the prospective Jurassic volcanic rocks are outcropping on surface, as well as areas where these rocks are
covered by thin veneers of younger basalts or gravel cover. Very little exploration of covered areas has been attempted to date in the
Deseado and De Grey considers that application of geophysics and advanced geochemical sampling techniques, in conjunction with low-
level detection assay methods, have potential to yield new discoveries in the region.

Operations Report Continued
Sierra Morena Project
The Sierra Morena Project comprises two granted tenements covering an area of 140.4 sq km in the western Deseado Massif. The project
is located approximately 25km east of Patagonia Gold’s El Tranquilo Project (combined resources of 567,000 oz Au and 19.5Moz Ag).
The tenements were optioned from Minera Sudamericana S.A. (MSA) in 2010.
During 2012-2013 De Grey completed follow up prospecting over a number of target areas outlined from a project-wide stream sediment
sampling program.
De Grey completed two drilling programs at the SM6 prospect and one drilling program at the Vein Breccia zone for a total of 14 diamond
holes. Targeting for the second programmes was taken from a CSAMT geophysical survey completed in early 2013.
SM6 Prospect
The SM6 Prospect is located mostly in the southern M.D. of the Sierra Morena Project.
The first of the two drilling programs were designed to test the Eastern Vein and the Western Vein Breccia identified in mapping and
sampling programs completed in 2011 and 2012.
The results confirmed the veins were products of a low sulphidation epithermal system and that gold and silver mineralisation was present
in the system.
This program was followed up by mapping and to determine the projection of the mineralized system a CSAMT geophysical survey was
undertaken in February 2013.
The data produced from the geophysical survey showed anomalism projecting from the surface position of the Western Vein Breccia and
beneath the acid sulphate cap to the northeast of the Eastern Vein.
The second drill program tested anomalies derived from the data. The results show the Western Vein Breccia extending to the south and at
depth. Mineralization intercepted in the drilling confirmed gold and silver in the system.
Vein Breccia Zone Prospect
The Vein Breccia Prospect is located in the east of the Sierra Morena Project area.
In February 2013 a CSAMT survey was completed over the prospect. Targets derived from this survey were drilled April/May. A total of
four holes tested three targets with the southern target returning high base metal grades along with gold and silver grades.
The three dimensional projection of the geophysical data and the grades from drilling confirm the VBZ prospect as a polymetallic
epithermal system. The system is deep seated and projects to the south of the current drilling.
Boleadora Project
The Boleadora Project comprises seven cateo (exploration licence) applications covering an area of 561.9 sq km in the north western
Deseado Massif.
De Grey may earn up to 80% in six tenements under the terms of a farm-in with Minera Kingsgate Argentina S.A., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd. The seventh tenement (Boleadora Este) is held 100% by De Grey and is not part of the farm-in
agreement with Minera Kingsgate Argentina S.A.
The project is strategically located between Goldcorp’s Cerro Negro project (ex-Andean Resources), just 30km to the north, and Mirasol
Resources’ recent grass roots Virginia silver vein field discovery, approximately 25km to the south.
Work completed during the 2012/2013 period comprised mapping and surface sampling.
The sampling has confirmed alteration trends identified from Aster data and has highlighted the need to further define the prospects
potential using geophysical methods.

De Grey Mining 100% owned properties
Cerro La Taba
The Cerro La Taba Project comprises eight cateo applications covering an area of 626.7 sq km in the central western Deseado Massif.
The northern and southern-most tenements partially cover exposed Jurassic volcanic rocks, whilst the central portion covers an area where
the prospective Jurassic rocks are covered by a veneer of post-mineral basalt flows interpreted in most places to be less than 10m thick.
The El Gateado prospect (Hunt Mining) is located immediately south of Cerro La Taba, whilst the La Josefina Project (Hunt Mining) is
located 15km to the southwest. Structures controlling mineralization at each of those prospects are interpreted to trend beneath the basalt
cover into the Cerro La Taba tenements.
A pilot study was undertaken at Cerro La Taba to determine if biogeochemistry could be used to locate structures under the basalt cover.
Sampling of various parts of a number of plants occurring over the mineralized structures at Hunt Mining’s El Gateado prospect were used
to determine the optimal sampling horizon. This sampling was repeated over the basalt cover directly adjacent and along trend from the
mineralized structures on De Grey’s tenement.
The results of this study show that biogeochemistry may work to allow identification of structures through what is considered an
impenetrable sampling barrier in this area.
Rio Negro Province Overview
Similar to the Deseado Massif (located to the south), the Somuncura Massif in Rio Negro (Figure 2) represents a giant felsic igneous
province that resulted from large-scale crustal thinning related to the initial of the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean in the Triassic and
Jurassic periods, approximately 200 million years ago. The Somuncura Massif underlies large parts of Chubut and Rio Negro provinces in
southern Argentina.
Stream sediment and surface sampling programs were undertaken over areas identified as Aster anomalies.
The results from this sampling has identified eight priority target areas requiring follow up testing.

NEW ZEALAND PROJECTS
Puhipuhi
In 2012 De Grey Mining signed a definitive agreement with Waihi Gold Company Ltd (“Waihi”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont
Mining, to acquire 100% of the Puhipuhi Project located on the North Island of New Zealand (refer to Figure 3).
The Project comprises one exploration permit that was granted to Waihi in 2009 and has a term of 5 years (with the right to a further 5 year
extension available). The permit area comprises 6,116 hectares located approximately 30km NNW of Whangarei, in the Northland Region
of New Zealand.
The Project is wholly contained within an area defined by the New Zealand Government’s Ministry of Economic Development as being
open for mineral exploration. The majority of the project is located on private lands, predominantly farmland and the area provides
straightforward access, an educated workforce and good availability of drilling contractors.
Despite exploration commencing in the early 1980s by companies such as Homestake, BHP and Macraes, the Project remains relatively
underexplored.
Of the 50 drillholes completed within the Project area, only 4 are greater than 200m in length in what has been interpreted from petrology,
geochemistry, mapping and geophysics to be the top of an epithermal system.
Puhipuhi is interpreted to represent a well preserved hot spring sinter/breccia system that formed as an outflow from a venting geothermal
system. Mineralisation in these systems is commonly restricted to fluid upflow settings and very low gold contents are deposited at surficial
levels. Fluid upflow settings typically form fissure vein systems at depth, developed in competent basement rocks and fluid quenching in
such an environment may produce good gold grades. Fissure vein epithermal gold-silver mineralisation commonly forms in dilatant
structural environments and examples of these systems include Hishikari (Japan), Cracow (Queensland), Sleeper (Nevada) and Waihi (New
Zealand).
Since acquiring the Puhipuhi permit De Grey has re-processed the available data and completed two programs of soil and surface sampling.
The results of the sampling have been used to orientate the proposed drilling program over the combined geochemical and geophysical
anomalies identified at Puhipuhi.
Figure 3: Location of project area

Operations Report Continued
In June 2013 De Grey Mining Ltd was advised that it had been successful in its bid for additional exploration permits in the Northland
region of New Zealand (Figure 4) as part of the competitive bidding set by the Ministry of Economic Development, New Zealand.
The Exploration Permits are adjacent to and contiguous with De Grey’s existing permit EP51985, the Puhipuhi project (Figure 4). EP55057
runs along the eastern boundary with Puhipuhi and comprises 1,966 Ha. EP 55058 extends from the northern boundary of the Puhipuhi
permit and comprises 6,499 Ha for a combined exploration area in the Northland region of 14,581 Ha.
The permits are for an initial 5 year period with additional extensions permissible following completion of the proposed exploration
programmes.

AUSTRALIAN PROJECTS
TURNER RIVER GOLD AND BASE METALS PROJECTS
Overview
The Turner River gold and base metals projects are located 60km south of Port Hedland in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia,
covering a combined area of 1,000 sq km. Tenements in the western portion of the project area are primarily prospective for gold
mineralization and include the Wingina Well gold deposit discovered in 2003. The eastern portion of the project covers the VMS-style
polymetallic mineralization discovered in 2006.
In May 2011 De Grey entered into agreements with Lansdowne Resources Pty Ltd under which Lansdowne may earn up to 75% interest in
each project. Lansdowne is an unlisted Australian company. On September 24 2012 Polymetals Mining Ltd (ASX:PLY) announced it had
acquired Lansdowne in a cash and scrip bid. In March 2013 Polymetals announced it had agreed to merge with Southern Cross Goldfields
Ltd (ASX:SXG) this merger was completed on 20 August 2013 with Lansdowne a subsidiary of SXG.
The Base Metals farm-out and joint venture agreement allows Lansdowne to earn a 75% interest in the project by sole funding exploration
expenditure of $1.5 million over three years ending in May 2014.
The Gold farm-out and joint venture agreement allows Lansdowne to earn a 75% interest in the project by paying $99,000 at
commencement and sole funding $2 million exploration expenditure over three years (May 2014).
De Grey has also granted Lansdowne an option to purchase a 75% interest in the Wingina Well gold resource. The option period
commences upon Lansdowne earning its interest in the Gold joint venture and is exercisable by payment of $4.1 million.
Lansdowne is to manage work at both projects during the sole funding periods.
The farm-out and joint venture agreements specifically recognize Atlas Iron’s rights to iron ore over portions of both project areas, arising
out of previous De Grey - Atlas agreements. De Grey’s residual rights under those agreements are excluded from the farm-outs, remaining
entirely for De Grey’s benefit.
PILBARA IRON PROJECTS
Beyondie Iron Ore Joint Venture
De Grey maintains a 20% free carried interest in the Beyondie Iron Ore Joint Venture, with Emergent Resources Ltd (80%). The joint
venture terms leave De Grey with 20% free carried interest in the project to a decision to mine at which point the Company can decide
whether to contribute to mine development costs or convert its interest to a royalty.
Emergent’s work at Beyondie has established an inferred resource of 561 million tonnes grading 27.5% Fe in primary magnetite
mineralization and demonstrated that the mineralization is amenable to processing to produce a commercial grade concentrate product.
Mt Dove Royalty
De Grey has sold the rights to iron ore minerals on certain tenement areas in the Turner River Gold and Turner River Base Metal projects to
Atlas Iron Ltd. The agreements provide for, variously, 1-2% gross value royalties payable to De Grey from future iron ore production by
Atlas.
The royalty remains payable on any iron ore production in excess of 2 million tonnes derived from Mount Dove.
During the year Atlas Iron Ltd announced an upgrade to the Mt Dove reserve from 2 million tonnes to 2.2 million tonnes.
PATERSON PROJECT
During the year De Grey sort partners interested in the Paterson Province to allow the company to concentrate on its other activities.
The Company was unsuccessful in attracting interest and hence withdrew the applications.
The information in the report to which this statement is attached that relates to mineralisation and exploration results is based on information compiled by
Mr Peter Batten, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Batten has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style
of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004
JORC Code Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves". Mr Batten consents to the
inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. Mr Batten is a full time employee of De Grey
Mining Ltd.

De Grey Mining Limited
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE
The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities.
The Group aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in
compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Group are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for
the year under review.
REMUNERATION REPORT
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of De Grey Mining Limited has been designed to align key management personnel objectives with shareholder
and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key
performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. The board of De Grey Mining Limited believes the remuneration policy to be
appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Group.
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for key management personnel of the Group is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives (if any), was developed
by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service, performance and experience) and
superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and
comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain
the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.
The key management personnel receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9%. Some
individuals have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. In addition, directors receive
options in the company in accordance with the employees option incentive plan.
All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Shares given to key management
personnel are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the key management personnel.
Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The 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. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that
can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $250,000). Fees
for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder
interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.
Performance based remuneration
The company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into key management personnel remuneration packages.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and key management personnel remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders’ investment objectives and
key management personnel performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of key management
personnel to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company believes this policy will be effective in
increasing shareholder wealth. At commencement of mine production, performance based bonuses based on key performance indicators
are expected to be introduced. For details of key management personnel interests in options at year end, refer to note 16 of the financial
statements.
Use of remuneration consultants
The Group did not employ the services of any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2013.
Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting
The Company received approximately 96% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2012 financial year. The Company did not
receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
During the financial year, De Grey Mining Limited paid a premium to insure the directors and secretary of the Company. The total
amount of insurance contract premiums paid is confidential under the terms of the insurance policy.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the
officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in
connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the
officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to
cause detriment to the company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs
and those relating to other liabilities.

Corporate Governance Statement
De Grey Mining Limited
The Board of Directors
The company's constitution provides that the number of directors shall not be less than three and not more than nine. There is no
requirement for any shareholding qualification.
As and if the company's activities increase in size, nature and scope the size of the board will be reviewed periodically, and as
circumstances demand. The optimum number of directors required to supervise adequately the company's constitution will be determined
within the limitations imposed by the constitution.
The membership of the board, its activities and composition, is 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's
duties and physical ability to undertake board's duties and responsibilities.
Directors are initially appointed by the full board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the company's
constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is
subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her 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. A managing 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, may revoke any appointment.
The board has established a number of committees to assist in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed consideration of complex
issues. Current committees of the board are the remuneration and audit committees. The committee structure and membership is
reviewed on an annual basis.
Each committee has its own written charter setting out its role and responsibilities, composition, structure, membership requirements and
the manner in which the committee is to operate. All of these charters are reviewed on an annual basis and are available on the company
website. All matters determined by committees are submitted to the full board as recommendations for board consideration.
Minutes of committee meetings are tabled at the subsequent board meeting. Additional requirements for specific reporting by the
committees to the board are addressed in the charter of the individual committees.
Role of the Board
The board's primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value.
To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for oversight of management and the overall corporate governance of the company including
its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.
Appointments to Other Boards
Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards.
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. With the exception of expenses for legal advice in relation to directors’ rights
and duties, the engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably.
Continuous Review of Corporate Governance
Directors consider, on an ongoing basis, how management information is presented to them and whether such information is sufficient to
enable them to discharge their duties as directors of the company. Such information must be sufficient to enable the directors to
determine appropriate operating and financial strategies from time to time in light of changing circumstances and economic conditions.
The directors recognise that mineral exploration is an inherently risky business and that operational strategies adopted should,
notwithstanding, be directed towards improving or maintaining the net worth of the company.
ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance
The board has reviewed its current practices in light of the revised ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with a
view to making amendments where applicable after considering the company's size and the resources it has available.
As the company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the board and the implementation of any additional formal
corporate governance committees will be given further consideration.
The board has adopted the revised Recommendations and the following table sets out the company's present position in relation to each
of the revised Principles.

this Principle is considered cost prohibitive for a Company of this
size with costs out weighing potential benefits.
The full Board is the nomination committee. Acting in its ordinary
capacity from time to time as required, the Board carries out the
process of determining the need for screening and appointing new
Directors. In view of the size and resources available to the Company
it is not considered that a separate nomination committee would add
any substance this process.
Given the size and nature of the Company a formal process for
evaluating performance has not been developed.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
De Grey Mining Limited
30 JUNE 2013
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting
of De Grey Mining Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. De Grey Mining
Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by
the directors on 27 September 2013. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. De Grey Mining Limited is a for-profit entity for
the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the De Grey Mining Limited Group also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2012
affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. However,
amendments made to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements effective 1 July 2012 now require the statement of comprehensive
income to show the items of comprehensive income grouped into those that are not permitted to be reclassified to profit or loss in a future
period and those that may have to be reclassified if certain conditions are met.
(iii) Early adoption of standards
The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2012.
(iv) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale
financial assets, which have been measured at fair value.
(b) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of De Grey Mining Limited (“company” or
“parent entity”) as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. De Grey Mining Limited and its subsidiaries
together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date
that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of De Grey Mining Limited.
(ii) Joint ventures
Jointly controlled assets
The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of joint venture activities have been incorporated in the financial
statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint ventures are set out in note 22.
(iii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of
the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling
interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling
interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of De Grey
Mining Limited.

30 JUNE 2013
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair
value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of
subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of
the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to
profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly controlled entity or associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a
proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where
appropriate.
(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The
chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has
been identified as the full Board of Directors.
(d) Foreign currency translation
(i) 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 De Grey Mining Limited's functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement
of financial position;
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless that is not a
reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and
expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other
financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign
operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to
profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that is it probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably
measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets.
(f) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable
income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to
unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting
period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It
establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
27
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
De Grey Mining Limited
30 JUNE 2013
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it
arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted
or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the
deferred income tax liability is settled.
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.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments
in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable
that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when
the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a
legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
De Grey Mining Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a
consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the
consolidated financial statements.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(g) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the
present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-
term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit
or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease
term.
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as
operating leases (note 19). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or
loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(h) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment,
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of
an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels
for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which 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 impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the
impairment at each reporting date.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial
institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(j) Trade and other receivables
Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful
debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.
(k) Investments and other financial assets
Classification
The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables,
held-to-maturity investments 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 and, in the case of assets classified as
held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
28
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
De Grey Mining Limited
30 JUNE 2013
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if
acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated
as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
(ii) 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 date which are classified
as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets quoted in an active market with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturities that the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group were to sell other
than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-
sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the
reporting date, which are classified as current assets.
(iv) 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 management intends to
dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated 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.
Financial assets - reclassification
The Group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is
no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be
reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely
to recur in the near term. In addition, the Group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and
receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group has the intention and ability to hold these financial
assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable,
and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for
financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further
increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.
Recognition and derecognition
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell
the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are
expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the
financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the
statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through
profit or loss, transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets
carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or
losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in the
statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from
continuing operations when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed
between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the
security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in
carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as
available-for-sale are recognised in equity.
Details on how the fair value of financial investments is determined are disclosed in note 2.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
De Grey Mining Limited
30 JUNE 2013
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
Impairment
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective
evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that
loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of
the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are impaired.
(i) Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, 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. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or
held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective
interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s
fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring
after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised
impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Assets classified as available-for-sale
If there is objective evidence of impairment 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 recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses on equity instruments that were recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss in a subsequent
period.
If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively
related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or
loss.
(l) Plant and equipment
All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the items.
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. The
carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the reducing balance method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of
their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment,
the shorter lease term. The rates vary between 20% and 40% per annum.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable amount (note 1(h)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the statement of
comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of
those assets to retained earnings.
(m) Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as they are incurred.
(n) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid.
The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
De Grey Mining Limited
30 JUNE 2013
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
(o) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12
months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual
leave and long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are
presented as payables.
(p) Share-based payments
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby
employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’), refer to note 26.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are
granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the
performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting
date’).
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 number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This
opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. 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.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where 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.
Options over ordinary shares have also been issued as consideration for the acquisition of interests in tenements and other services. These
options have been treated in the same manner as employee options described above, with the expense being included as part of
exploration expenditure.
(q) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the
proceeds.
(r) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for
bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income
tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of
shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(s) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the
taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or
payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are
recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
(t) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2013 reporting periods and
have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group has considered the impact of these new standards and interpretations, with details
of those changes that are likely to impact on the Group set out below.

AASB 9: Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, AASB 2010-7
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (effective from 1 January 2015)
This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial
instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The Group has not yet determined any
potential impact on the financial statements.
The key changes made to accounting requirements include:
allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not
held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be
recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;
requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially classified based
on: (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual
cash flows; and
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to
changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If
such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of
changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

(applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013)
AASB 1053 establishes a revised differential financial reporting framework consisting of two tiers of financial reporting requirements for
those entities preparing general purpose financial statements:
Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
Tier 2 of the framework comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1, but contains significantly
fewer disclosure requirements.
The following entities are required to apply Tier 1 reporting requirements (ie full IFRS):
Since the Group is a for-profit private sector entity that has public accountability, it does not qualify for the reduced disclosure
requirements for Tier 2 entities.
AASB 2012–2 makes amendments to Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations to give effect to the reduced disclosure
requirements for Tier 2 entities. It achieves this by specifying the disclosure paragraphs that a Tier 2 entity need not comply with as well
as adding specific “RDR” disclosures.
for-profit private sector entities that have public accountability; and
the Australian Government and state, territory and local governments.
AASB 2010–10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB
2009–11 & AASB 2011–7] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 2009–11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, and
AASB 2011–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010).
The amendments brought in by this Standard ultimately affect AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards and
provide relief for first-time adopters from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their transition date.
[The amendments to AASB 2009–11 will only affect early adopters of AASB 2009–11 (and AASB 9: Financial Instruments that was
issued in December 2009) as it has been superseded by AASB 2010–7.]
This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
AASB 1054: Australian Additional Disclosures (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard is as a consequence of phase 1 of the joint Trans-Tasman Convergence project of the AASB and FRSB.
This Standard relocates all Australian specific disclosures from other standards to one place and revises disclosures in the following
areas:
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;
the statutory basis or reporting framework for financial statements;
whether the financial statements are general purpose or special purpose;
audit fees; and
This Standard is not expected to materially impact the Group.
imputation credits.
AASB 2011-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence project – Reduced
disclosure regime [AASB 101 & AASB 1054] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013)
This Standard makes amendments to the application of the revised disclosures to Tier 2 entities that are applying AASB 1053.
This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.
AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard establishes a new control model that applies to all entities. It replaces parts of AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial statements and Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special
Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity and includes new guidance
for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as a manager may give control, the impact of potential voting rights
and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give control. This Standard is not expected to materially impact the Group.
AASB 11: Joint Arrangements (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and Interpretation 113 Jointly-Controlled Entities – Non-monetary
Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, and therefore the determination of
whether joint control exists may change. In addition, AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using
proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising
from the arrangement. Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves is accounted for
by recognising the share of those assets and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets is accounted for
using the equity method. This may result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements held by the Group.
AASB 12: Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard includes all disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structures
entities. New disclosures have been introduced about the judgements made by management to determine whether control exists, and to
require summarised information about joint arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling
interests. The Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements.
AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard establishes a single source of guidance under AASB for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does
not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value under AASB when
fair value is required or permitted by AASB. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the
relevant assets.
AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the
assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. The Group has not yet determined any
potential impact on the financial statements.
AASB 119: Employee Benefits (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)
The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options
for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognized in full with actuarial gains and losses
being recognized in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The definition of
short-term benefits has been revised, meaning some annual leave entitlements may become long-term in nature with a revised
measurement. Similarly the timing for recognising a provision for termination benefits has been revised, such that provisions can only be
recognised when the offer cannot be withdrawn.
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
Interpretation 20: Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on
or after 1 January 2013)
This interpretation applies to stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a surface mine. Production stripping costs are to be
capitalised as part of an asset, if an entity can demonstrate that it is probable future economic benefits will be realised, the costs can be
reliably measured and the entity can identify the component of an ore body for which access has been improved. This asset is to be called
the “stripping activity asset”.
The stripping activity asset shall be depreciated or amortised on a systematic basis, over the expected useful life of the identified
component of the ore body that becomes more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. The units of production method shall be
applied unless another method is more appropriate.
(u) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:
(i) Significant accounting judgements
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgement:
Exploration expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as they are incurred.
(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group has not made any significant estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
(v) Going concern
The Group recorded a loss of $3,789,410 (2012: $1,580,537) for the year ended 30 June 2013, a cash and cash equivalents balance of
$237,484 (2012: $2,418,214) and exploration and other commitments due within one year as described in note 19 to the financial
statements. The directors reviewed the working capital requirements of the Group for the period of a year from the date of the directors’
report, and determined that subject to an additional capital raising, the Group will be able to continue to pay its debts as and when they
fall due.
Although the above facts indicate a material uncertainty in relation to the applicability of the going concern concept as it pertains to these
financial statements, the directors are confident of the successful outcome of capital raising activities and therefore the financial report
has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets
and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk),
credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Group believes that it is crucial for all Board members to be
involved in this process. The Board, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing,
treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the Board on risk management.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group has operations internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with
respect to the Argentine Peso.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is
not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign operations. The Group has not formalised a foreign currency risk
management policy, however it monitors its foreign currency expenditure in light of exchange rate movements.
The functional currency of the Group’s foreign subsidiary company is the Argentine Peso. All parent entity and Australian subsidiary
entity balances are in Australian dollars and all Group balances are in either Australian dollars or Argentine Peso, so the Group has only
minimal exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date.
(ii) Price risk
Given the current level of operations, the Group is not exposed to price risk.
(iii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to monitor the interest
rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The
entire balance of cash and cash equivalents for the Group $237,484 (2012: $2,418,214) is subject to interest rate risk. The proportional
mix of floating interest rates and fixed rates to a maximum of six months fluctuate during the year depending on current working capital
requirements. The weighted average interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 3.0% (2012: 3.4%).
Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2013, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 80 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables
held constant, post-tax loss for the Group would have been $10,623 lower/higher (2012: $15,000 lower/higher) as a result of
lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
(b) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed
in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The only significant concentration of credit risk for the Group
is the cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions. All material deposits are held with the major Australian banks for which
the Board evaluate credit risk to be minimal.
As the Group does not presently have any trade debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk
management policy is not maintained.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable
securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being
mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings.
The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group’s current and future funding
requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.
The financial liabilities of the Group are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of financial position. All trade
and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
(d) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market
price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their
short-term nature.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that are used to make
strategic decisions. For management purposes, the Group has identified two reportable segments being exploration activities undertaken
in Australasia and Argentina. These segments include the activities associated with the determination and assessment of the existence of
commercial economic reserves, from the Group’s mineral assets in these geographic locations.
Segment performance is evaluated based on the operating profit and loss and cash flows and is measured in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policies.

(d) Tax consolidation
Effective 1 July 2004, for the purposes of income taxation, De Grey Mining Limited and its 100% owned Australian subsidiaries formed
a tax consolidated group. Members of the group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax between the
entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At the balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head
entity of the tax consolidated group is De Grey Mining Limited.
The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate De Grey Mining
Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by De Grey Mining Limited for any current tax receivable and
deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to De Grey Mining Limited under the tax
consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’
financial statements.
The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which
is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts
to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables.
(e) Franking credits
The company has no franking credits available for use in future years.

(e) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the
primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working
capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is
to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital
raisings as required. The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the value of equity benefits provided to either employees or directors as
remuneration or to suppliers as payment for products and services.
(ii) Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other comprehensive income as described in
note 1(d) and accumulated within a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net
investment is disposed of.

(a) Wallareenya Iron Prospect
In September 2005 the company entered into an agreement to farm out 100% of the iron ore rights in tenements hosting the Wallareenya
Prospect, located 50 km south east of Port Hedland, to Atlas Iron Limited, an Australian publicly listed company. In consideration De
Grey received an initial 100,000 shares in Atlas on signing of the agreement to evaluate the prospect, and a further 1,000,000 shares
when Atlas exercised their option. The Atlas shares received as consideration were subsequently sold by De Grey during prior financial
periods. De Grey has retained a 2% gross sales revenue royalty and retains a one off right to claw back 30% equity for two times Atlas’
exploration spend across the prospect if Atlas defines a resource exceeding 3 million tonnes. De Grey’s rights under the agreement have
a carrying value of nil.
(b) Tabba Tabba Shear
In November 2005 the company entered into an agreement with Attgold Pty Ltd to acquire an extra 16 kilometres of strike along the
Tabba Tabba Shear in the company’s Turner River Province, 60 kms south of Port Hedland.
The agreement with Attgold (tenement ELA45/2364) required a payment of $50,000 to Attgold on signing of the option, after which De
Grey had 18 months to decide if they wish to acquire the tenement. In February 2007 De Grey acquired 100% of the tenement by
exercising the option and issuing 500,000 fully paid ordinary shares to Attgold and granting Attgold a royalty of $1/t up to a maximum of
$750,000. The agreement relates to gold, base and precious metals, and the joint venture has a carrying value of nil.
(c) Mount Dove Iron Rights
In June 2008 the company entered into an option agreement to sell the iron ore rights over the Mt Dove Project, being Exploration
Licence 47/891 located 70 km south east of Port Hedland, to Atlas Iron Limited. In April 2013 De Grey sold its royalty over the first 2
million tonnes of iron ore to be produced from Mt Dove to Atlas Iron for cash payment of $1,000,000, that payment being received in
April 2013.
At inception, De Grey received an initial consideration of 156,694 shares in Atlas (being $350,000 at the volume weighted average price
for the 5 days prior to 10 April 2008) on signing of the agreement, and was to receive a payment of $650,000 in cash or 325,000 Atlas
shares (at De Grey’s election) no later than 12 months from the date of the formal agreement. At Atlas’ request the option period was
extended by 30 days to 17 July 2009. On 16 July 2009 Atlas notified De Grey of its intention to exercise the option and De Grey elected
to receive the purchase payment as cash. De Grey subsequently received payment on 27 July 2009. De Grey retains a 1% gross sales
revenue royalty over tonnes produced from Mt Dove in excess of 2 million tonnes.
(d) Turner River Gold Farm-out
During May 2011, De Grey entered into an agreement with Lansdowne Resources Pty Ltd under which Lansdowne may earn up to 75%
interest in tenements in the west of the Turner River Project containing the Wingina Well gold resource and the T1, Mt Berghaus,
Brierly, Amanda and Edkins targets. Lansdowne paid $99,000 at execution and may earn 75% interest in the project by sole funding
exploration expenditure of $2 million over 3 years. Lansdowne must spend $250,000 in the first 6 months and $500,000 (cumulative) in
the first 12 months to keep the agreement afoot. Upon Lansdowne earning its 75% interest a 75:25 joint venture is formed and
Lansdowne continues to sole fund expenditures to Decision to Mine. Upon a Decision to Mine, a mining joint venture area is declared
and further joint venture expenditures are funded by De Grey and Lansdowne in proportion to their JV interests. De Grey’s free carried
interest continues in respect of exploration expenditures over project areas outside of the mining joint venture area. Should no decision to
mine occur within 4.5 years of commencement, Lansdowne can maintain its interest for up to a further 3 years by paying De Grey
$250,000 per annum and continuing to sole fund expenditures sufficient to meet statutory expenditure requirements. Should Lansdowne
elect not to maintain its interest, De Grey can elect to sole fund further expenditures and Lansdowne’s interest dilutes under a 2x
accelerated formula.

INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES (cont’d)
On September 24 2012, Polymetals Mining Ltd (ASX:PLY) announced that they had acquired a 100% interest in Lansdowne Resources
Pty Ltd.
In March 2013 Polymetals Mining Ltd announced a merger with Southern Cross Goldfields Ltd (ASX: SXG). The merged entity will
control Lansdowne as a wholly owned subsidiary.
De Grey has also granted Lansdowne an option to purchase a 75% interest in the Wingina Well gold resource in return for $1,000 paid
upon signing and the issue of 2 million 20 cent shares in Lansdowne upon its listing on ASX. The option period commences immediately
but the option becomes exercisable only upon Lansdowne earnings its interest in the gold joint venture. The option exercise price
comprises $4.1 million plus, if the gold price at the exercise date exceeds $1,500 per ounce, an additional payment of $15 for each $100
by which the gold price exceeds A$1,500, payable in respect of each ore reserve ounce deriving from the Wingina Well resource as
presently delineated. The option expires 6 months after a decision to mine under the gold joint venture, 4.5 years after the
commencement date or upon termination of the gold farm-out agreement, whichever occurs earliest.
The carrying value of De Grey’s interest in the project is nil.
(e) Turner River Base Metals Farm-out
During May 2011 De Grey entered into an agreement with Lansdowne Resources Pty Ltd under which Lansdowne may earn up to 75%
interest in tenements in the east of the Turner River Project, site of high grade Pb-Zn-Ag VMS-style mineralisation discovered by De
Grey. Lansdowne may earn a 75% interest in the project by sole funding exploration expenditure of $1.5 million over 3 years.
Lansdowne must spend $175,000 in the first 6 months and $350,000 (cumulative) in the first 12 months to keep the agreement afoot.
Upon Lansdowne earning its 75% interest a 75:25 joint venture is formed and Lansdowne continues to sole fund expenditures to
Decision to Mine. Upon a Decision to Mine, a mining joint venture area is declared and further joint venture expenditures are funded by
De Grey and Lansdowne in proportion to their JV interests. De Grey’s free carried interest continues in respect of exploration
expenditures over project areas outside of the mining joint venture area. Until such time as a decision to mine is made, Lansdowne may
maintain its interest by continuing to sole fund expenditures sufficient to meet statutory expenditure requirements.
On September 24 2012, Polymetals Mining Ltd (ASX:PLY) announced that they had acquired a 100% interest in Lansdowne Resources
Pty Ltd.
In March 2013 Polymetals Mining Ltd announced a merger with Southern Cross Goldfields Ltd (ASX: SXG). The merged entity will
control Lansdowne as a wholly owned subsidiary.
The carrying value of De Grey’s interest in the project is nil.
(f) Minera Sudamericana Option Agreement
In July 2010 De Grey, through the wholly owned subsidiary De Grey Argentina SA (“DGA”), entered into a binding letter of intent for
an option-to-purchase agreement with Minera Sudamericana SA (“MSA”) over nine project areas in Argentina. The option agreement
comprises two stages, an exploration stage and a project acquisition stage:
By paying US$15,000 per quarter, DGA retains exclusive rights to conduct exploration, excluding drilling, on any or all of the MSA
projects (a project being one or more contiguous mineral tenements) for up to 3 years from 1 April 2010. DGA must complete
payments totalling US$60,000 prior to terminating the agreement. DGA is then free to exclude any one or more of the projects from
the agreement or to withdraw from the agreement in entirety.
At any time until 31 March 2013, DGA may elect to enter into an option-to purchase agreement over any one or more of the projects.
The purchase of any one project requires DGA to make a series of escalating purchase payments over 3 years from the date that the
purchase agreement is entered into, those payments to total not more than US$2 million in respect of any one project. In the event
that DGA completes the purchase of any project, MSA retains a 1.5% net smelter royalty, 50% of which may be purchased by DGA
for US$1.5 million at the time of a decision to mine.
In March 2013 MSA agreed to allow DGA to retain exclusive exploration rights over the remaining projects in this agreement. No
further payments were required from DGA to continue to explore and a separate purchase agreement will be negotiated should DGA
notify MSA of an intention to purchase a project under this agreement.
(g) Sierra Morena Purchase Option Agreement
In April 2012 De Grey, through the wholly owned subsidiary De Grey Argentina SA (“DGA”), exercised its rights under the Minera
Sudamericana (“MSA”)Option Agreement to enter into an option-to-purchase agreement over the Sierra Morena Project comprising
tenements MS401.670/MSD/07 and MS401.671/MSD/07 located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The purchase agreement requires
DGA to make a series of escalating payments over 3 years from the commencement date on 1 April 2012, those payments to total US$2
million. In the event that DGA completes the purchase of Sierra Morena, MSA retains a 1.5% net smelter royalty, 50% of which may be
purchased by DGA for US$1.5 million at the time of a decision to mine. DGA may withdraw from the purchase agreement at any time
in which event it would retain no further interest in the project.

(h) Boleadora Project Farm-in
During July 2010 De Grey, through the wholly owned subsidiary De Grey Argentina SA (“DGA”), executed a binding letter of intent
with Minera Kingsgate Argentina SA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kingsgate Consolidated Limited, over Kingsgate’s Boleadora
project. DGA may earn a 60% interest in the project by sole funding US$200,000 exploration expenditure over not more than 3 years.
Upon earning 60% interest, DGA may elect to form a joint venture with Kingsgate and the two parties contribute proportionally to
further exploration expenditure or, increase its interest to 80% by sole funding a further US$1 million expenditure over a further period
of two years at which point an 80:20 joint venture will be formed. DGA can withdraw at any time provided that it must incur minimum
expenditure of US$50,000 per year for so long as it is sole funding exploration.
Due to access complications De Grey Argentina SA has requested an extension of time to complete their expenditure commitments from
Minera Kingsgate Argentina SA. Negotiations are continuing.
(i) Pachi Project Option Agreement
In July 2011 De Grey, through the wholly owned subsidiary De Grey Argentina SA, executed a binding letter of intent with an Argentine
individual to enter into an option-to-purchase agreement over the Pachi Project, located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The option
agreement provides for annual option fee payments of US$24,200 on commencement, US$60,500 second year and US$121,000 in the
third year. DGA is to undertake at least 500 metres of drilling in the first year option period provided all required permits are achieved.
DGA may elect to purchase 100% interest in the Project by paying US$1,210,000 purchase price no more than 3 years from
commencement. An additional US$1,210,000 is payable if a resource over 250,000 ounces of gold equivalent is defined and a decision to
mine is made within 5 years of commencement, and the vendor retains a 1% net smelter royalty. DGA may terminate the agreement at
any time after payment of the first annual option fee.
The initial exploration period for the completion of the drilling and the first payment was extended to the end of December 2013.
(j) Turner River Shingles, River Sand and Limestone Blocks Farm-Out
During October 2012 De Grey, through the wholly owned subsidiary Last Crusade Pty Ltd (“LC”), entered into an agreement with
Mobile Concreting Solutions Pty Ltd (“MCS”) under which LC will facilitate the excision of graticule B703 from LC’s Exploration
Licence 45/3390. Under the agreement, MCS will apply for a mining licence over the excised graticule to mine for shingles, river sand
and limestone blocks. LC retains the right to explore for all other minerals on the affected ground and MCS will pay a royalty of $0.50
per tonne for all material removed. Mining operations have yet to commence.
23. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
During July 2013 the Company completed the shortfall allocation associated with the Entitlements Offer dated 9 April 2013, via the issue
of 6,250,000 ordinary shares. The funds associated with this issue had been received prior to the reporting date.
During September 2013 the Company entered into separate loan agreements with Messer’s Batten and Townsend. Mr Batten provided
funds totalling $33,000, and Mr Townsend provided funds totalling $16,800, to the Company. The loans are all unsecured, repayable six
months from completion, and attract interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In conjunction with the placement outlined below, the
Company has agreed to convert these loans in to equity at $0.0025 per fully paid ordinary share.
During September 2013 the Company agreed that it will place up to 228.5 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.0025. As a fee for
facilitation of this placement the Company has agreed to issue an additional 50 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.0001. As a result
of this placement the Board composition is currently under review.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2013, which has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the
operations of the Group, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

As the Group has made a loss for the year ended 30 June 2013, all options on issue are considered antidilutive and have not been
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.
26. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Employees and contractors option plan
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) and consultants of the Group in the form of share-based payment
transactions, whereby employees or consultants render services in exchange for options (for nil consideration) to acquire ordinary shares.
The exercise price of the options granted range from 2.2 cents to 6.5 cents per option. All options granted to employees in previous
financial years have vested. Of options granted to employees during the current financial year, those granted on 10 January 2013 vested
on grant date, whilst a third of those granted on 3 September 2012 vested on issue, with a third to vest on 3 September 2013 and a third to
vest on 3 September 2014. The options have expiry dates ranging from 30 April 2014 to 10 January 2016.
The options are granted to employees to align their interests with that of the shareholders of the company.
Supplier options
Suppliers have been granted options as part consideration for tenement acquisitions. The exercise price of the options granted is 6.5 cents
with an expiry date of 30 June 2014.
Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share in the capital of
the company with full dividend and voting rights.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 1.5 years (2012: 1.9
years), and the exercise prices range from 2.2 to 6.5 cents.
Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions
The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was 1.3 cents (2012: 1.6 cents). The price was calculated by using
the Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model applying the following inputs:
2013
2012
Weighted average exercise price (cents)
Weighted average life of the option (years)
Weighted average underlying share price (cents)
Expected share price volatility
Weighted average risk free interest rate
Historical volatility has been used as the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it assumed that this is indicative of future
trends, which may not eventuate.
No assumptions have been made relating to dividends or expected early exercise of the options and there are no other inputs to the model.
The life of the options is based on historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.
Total expenses arising from equity settled share-based payment transactions recognised during the period were as follows:

@ffi"*
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of De Grey Mining
Limited (the "Company") and its controlled entities (the "Group")' which
comorises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June
2013 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the
directors' declaration.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the
financial report which gives a true and fair view in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
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 whether the financial report is free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the financial report
which 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 entity's internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by 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.
