Once again during the past year as has been the case for several years, market conditions were tough for junior explorers and emerging producers. Fortunately Duketon Mining is very well lead by our MD, Stuart Fogarty, and is in the enviable position of having both capital to deploy and an excellent suite of nickel and gold projects. After a successful IPO in 2014 which raised $7M Duketon Mining had a successful year of exploration and resource delineation with the highlight being the discovery of the Nariz Nickel, Copper and PGE prospect and the declaration of the nickel, copper and PGE JORC resource at C2. The Company also commenced a joint venture with Regis Resources Limited over four of our tenements exploring only for gold on terms favourable to DKM. The Company plans to progress these opportunities and others in 2016. While the market remains tough for junior explorers there is always a strong appetite for successful nickel and gold exploration in WA. The entire team at Duketon Mining remains committed to maximising shareholder value from our available resources. Yours sincerely Seamus Cornelius Chairman 4 Review of Operations 1. Review of Operations 1.1 Strategy and Objectives The Company’s primary objective continues to be achieving returns for shareholders through focused proactive exploration in the Duketon Belt whilst maintaining a watch over potential acquisitions outside of this area. We have 4 pillars of growth within our strategy: 1. Expanding our known nickel deposits through adding extensions to Rosie, C2 and Nariz; 2. Discovering new nickel deposits around the Bulge area and other new belts; 3. Joint venturing four tenements for gold; and 4. Discovering new gold deposits on 100% owned Duketon tenure. We are uniquely de-risked technically with respect to both nickel and gold. Economic nickel sulphides have already been found in the area at Rosie and C2, and the Nariz discovery shows the further upside potential of the tenement package that the Company controls. The total Mineral Resource for the Duketon project, comprising C2 and the Rosie deposit (see below), is now 71,000t of nickel plus associated copper, platinum and palladium. Figure 1: Location of the Duketon Project 5 Review of Operations (Cont’d) The Company’s tenement package is intercalated with Regis Resources Limited’s tenements which host up to 8Moz of gold (see figure 2). The Company believes that there is considerable upside in the Duketon tenements and continues to review the tenements to further understand the geological potential and controls to unlock additional value from within the Company’s current asset base. Figure 2: Plan of Duketon Mining and Regis Resources Tenements. 6 Review of Operations (Cont’d) 1.2 Exploration 1.2.1 Rosie (DKM 100%) The Rosie deposit is situated approximately 110km north of Laverton, Western Australia. The project can be accessed via sealed and formed gravel roads from either Leonora or Laverton. Mineralisation at Rosie consists of disseminated, matrix, stringer and brecciated massive Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides at, or adjacent to the contact of the Bulge ultramafic complex interpreted to be a classic komatiitic lava channel style nickel sulphide mineralisation. Drilling throughout the year continued to extend mineralisation to the north and the south of the current resource boundary (see figure 3).

Long section of Rosie looking toward the east showing significant intercepts and relevant DHEM plates. 1.2.2 C2 (DKM 100%) The C2 deposit is situated approximately 2km to the north of Rosie and is a komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide deposit. The mineralisation is characterised by accumulations of massive, matrix, breccia and disseminated nickel, copper magmatic sulphides and platinum group elements at the basal contact of a komatiite ultramafic rock, overlying a mafic pillow basalt footwall with some fine grained siltstone sediments which may also contain sulphides. During the year DKM was able to publish the initial mineral resource estimate for the C2 resource. This Inferred Mineral Resource estimate at C2 is 5.7 million tonnes averaging 0.7% nickel, 0.04% copper and 0.14g/t platinum and palladium for a contained 38,000 tonnes of nickel and associated copper, platinum and palladium (see Table 3 and 4). This represents the in-situ undiluted Mineral Resource at 0.5% nickel cut-off (see Table 5 and Figure 6). Nickel mineralisation is robust and continuous. The total Mineral Resource for the Duketon project, comprising C2 and the Rosie deposit (see ASX Announcement 1 & 12 August 2014), is now 71,000t of nickel and associated copper, platinum and palladium. 8 Review of Operations (Cont’d) C2 Nickel Resource >0.5%Ni (as at 30 June 2015) Classification Oxidation Inferred Fresh Transitional Total Tonnes 5,100,000 600,000 5,700,000 Ni (%) 0.7 0.6 0.7 Ni (t) 34,200 3,800 38,000 Table 3: C2 Nickel Resource > 0.5% Ni C2 Nickel Resource >0.5%Ni (as at 30 June 2015) Classification Oxidation Tonnes Ni (%) Cu (%) Pt (ppb) Pd (ppb) S (%) Inferred Fresh 5,100,000 Transitional 600,000 Total 5,700,000 0.7 0.6 0.7 0.04 0.04 0.04 60 72 61 79 105 82 3.3 0.9 3.1 Table 4: C2 Resource > 0.5% Ni with Auxiliary Attributes Cut-Off (Ni %) 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 Tonnes 18,775,665 10,776,805 5,721,787 3,008,201 2,019,653 1,018,985 641,066 148,053 62,461 Grade (Ni %) 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.1 Table 5: C2 Deposit Grade Tonnage Table for different Ni cut-offs Ni (t) 88,902 60,356 37,967 23,249 16,940 9,503 6,265 1,577 694 9 Review of Operations (Cont’d) Figure 5: C2 Cross Section C2 - Grade Tonnage Curve for Fresh and Transitional Material Tonnes Grade 20000000 18000000 16000000 14000000 12000000 s e n 10000000 n o T 8000000 6000000 4000000 2000000 0 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 Cut off Figure 6: Grade Tonnage Curve at Ni cut-offs. 10 1.2 1.1 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 f f o - t u c e v o b a e d a r G Review of Operations (Cont’d) 1.2.3 Nariz (DKM 100%) The Nariz prospect was drilled this year and is highlighted by the discovery hole DKMDD005 that returned grades of 7.09% nickel, 0.50% copper and 3.76g/t combined platinum and palladium over 5.65m from 438.41 metres, within a broader zone of massive and stringer mineralisation of 9.22m @ 4.96% nickel, 0.41% copper and 2.41g/t combined platinum and palladium (see Figure 7 and ASX announcement 2 December 2014). Nariz is situated approximately 500m to the south east of Rosie and is a komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide deposit. The mineralisation is characterised by accumulations of massive, matrix, breccia and blebby to disseminated nickel, copper magmatic sulphides and platinum group elements. These are predominantly located at the basal contact of a komatiite ultramafic rock, overlying a mafic pillow basalt footwall with some fine grained siltstone sediments which can also contain sulphides. Figure 7: Photo of massive sulphide zone from hole DKMDD005 11 Review of Operations (Cont’d) 1.2.4 Gold JV (RRL earning 75%) Figure 8: Longsection of Nariz A formal joint venture between the Company and Regis Resources Limited has been formed to explore for gold over 4 of Duketon Mining’s tenements as announced to ASX on 14 July 2015. The joint venture tenure covers approximately 373 square kilometres and hosts a number of shear zones prospective for gold (see Figure 2). These include the northern strike continuation of the shear zone hosting Regis’ Petra gold deposit and part of the shear zone extending north of the Garden Well gold deposit. The Joint venture is structured as follows: • RRL can earn a 75% interest on specific project areas upon achieving the following:  An up-front initial payment of $100,000;  $1 million minimum expenditure (within the 2 year term);  Tenements to be kept in good standing at Regis’ expense; and  Confirming to Duketon a decision to mine; • On decision to mine, Duketon may contribute (in respect of its 25% interest) to the mining project, sell its 25% interest for $850,000 or convert its 25% interest to a 2% net smelter royalty on all gold produced from the mining project; and • RRL to fund 100% of the initial $4 million of capital on each project where Duketon elects to contribute. All non-gold mineral rights remain with Duketon. If Regis does not confirm a decision to mine within 2 years, gold rights revert back to Duketon. DKM believes that this joint venture is a sensible collaboration in the Duketon district given the proximity of these areas to Regis’ Moolart Well gold processing plant and the higher prospectivity of this part of Duketon’s extensive tenure holdings for gold rather than nickel. This allows Duketon to continue its focus on its core nickel and gold exploration efforts over 100% owned tenements whilst Regis explores the joint venture area for gold. 1.2.5 Regional Exploration (DKM 100%) Regional exploration has been ongoing throughout the quarter. Multiple new targets in both nickel and gold have been generated creating a significant and robust pipeline of organic opportunities. 12 Review of Operations (Cont’d) 2.

The Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the board has not established a separate risk management committee. The board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the board. These include the following: • Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk. Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets. • SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS Other than as disclosed in this Report, no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company occurred during the financial year. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE No matters or circumstances, besides those disclosed at note 19, have arisen since the end of the year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial periods. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS Details of important developments occurring in this financial year have been covered in the Review of Operations section of the Directors’ Report. The Company will continue activities in the exploration, evaluation and development of the Duketon Project and mineral tenements with the objective of developing a significant mining operation and any significant information or data will be released to the market and the shareholders pursuant to the Continuous Disclosure rules as and when they come to hand. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE The Company is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities. The Company 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 Company 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 Duketon 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 Company’s financial results. The board of Duketon Mining Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best key management personnel to run and manage the Company. The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives (if any) of the Company is as follows: The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors, 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 Company’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. The directors and executives (if any) receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9.5% for the 2015 financial year. Some individuals may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. 17 Directors’ Report (Cont’d) All remuneration paid to key management personnel is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. 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 (currently $300,000) and set in accordance with the constitution of the Company. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company. 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 the ‘Option holdings’ section later in the Remuneration Report. Use of remuneration consultants The Company did not employ the services of any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2015. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting The Company received approximately 99.6% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2014 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

The following options over ordinary shares of the Company were granted to or vesting with key management personnel during the year: Grant Date Granted Number Vesting Date Expiry Date Value per Option at Grant Date (cents) Exercise Price (cents) Exercised Number % of Remuner- ation Directors Seamus Cornelius 18/11/2014 500,000 Stuart Fogarty Stuart Fogarty Stuart Fogarty Heath Hellewell Dennis Wilkins 18/11/2014 18/11/2019 18/11/2014 1,000,000 18/11/2014 18/11/2019 17/03/2014 1,000,000 01/08/2014 31/03/2019 17/03/2014 1,550,000 01/08/2014(1) 31/03/2019 18/11/2014 18/11/2019 18/11/2014 500,000 18/11/2014 18/11/2019 18/11/2014 250,000 20.2 20.2 30.0 35.0 20.2 20.2 4.40 4.40 1.86 1.56 4.40 4.40 - - - - - - 32.6 14.6 1.4 2.1 52.4 23.3 (1) A total of 2,000,000 options were granted to Mr Fogarty, of which 1,000,000 vested upon admission of the company’s securities to the Official List of ASX, the remaining 1,000,000 were also to vest upon admission of the Company’s securities to the Official List of ASX but pro rata calculated with reference to the amount of capital raised, with 400,000 Options to be issued if the Company successfully completed a capital raising of at least $6,000,000, plus 150,000 options for every $1,000,000 in excess of $6,000,000 up to a maximum of 600,000 Options. A total of 1,550,000 options vested on following completion of the IPO and admission to the Official List of ASX. In respect of share options granted, the (theoretical) fair value is recognised over the vesting period as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The theoretical fair value of the options is calculated at the date of grant taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted, the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital. 19 Directors’ Report (Cont’d) The Directors do not consider the resultant value as determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model is in anyway representative of the market value of the share options issued, however, in the absence of reliable measure of the goods or services received, AASB 2: Share-based Payment prescribes the measurement of the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model is an industry accepted method of valuing equity instruments, at the date of grant. Equity instruments held by key management personnel Share holdings The numbers of shares in the company held during the financial year by each director of Duketon Mining Limited and other key management personnel of the Company, including their personally related parties, are set out below.

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 Company consisting of Duketon Mining Ltd. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Duketon Mining Ltd is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 24 September 2015. 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, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. (i) Compliance with IFRS The financial statements of Duketon Mining Ltd comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Company The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2014 that are relevant to the Company include: • • The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Company’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years. However, the above standards have affected the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. AASB 2013-3 Amendment to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets; and AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards. (iii) Early adoption of standards The Company has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2014. (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, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property. (b) 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. (c) Revenue recognition Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets. 29 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (d) Income tax The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable on the current year’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 associated 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. 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. 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. (e) Leases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, 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 Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. 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. (f) 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 that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. (g) 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. 30 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (h) 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. (i) Investments and other financial assets Classification The Company 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. (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 with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 31 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 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. Subsequent measurement 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 revenue from continuing operations 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 Company’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. Impairment The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Company’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, 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. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. (j) 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 Company 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 straight-line 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 rate used was 33% 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(f)). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Company’s policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings. (k) Exploration and evaluation costs Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as they are incurred. 32 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) (l) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms. (m) Employee benefits (i) Wages and salaries and annual leave Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. (ii) Share-based payments The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’). 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 Company, 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. (n) Issued capital 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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. (o) 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. (p) 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. 33 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 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. (q) New accounting standards and interpretations At the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Standards and Interpretations listed below were in issue but not yet effective. The Company does not anticipate that there will be a material effect on the financial statements from the adoption of these standards. Standard/Interpretation AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’, and the relevant amending standards Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after Expected to be initially applied in the financial year ending 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 (r) Critical 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 Company’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: Environmental Issues Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate. Taxation Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. Share based payment transactions The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black- Scholes option pricing model. 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company’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 Company’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 Company. Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be involved in this process. Senior management, as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management. 34 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) (a) Market risk (i) Foreign exchange risk As all operations are currently within Australia, the Company is not exposed to any material foreign exchange risk. (ii) Price risk The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the statement of financial position at fair value through the profit and loss. The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk. At the reporting date, the Company has investments in ASX listed equity securities. Sensitivity analysis The Company’s equity investments are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and are all classified at fair value through the profit or loss. At 30 June 2015, if the value of the equity investments held had increased/decreased by 15% with all other variables held constant, post tax loss for the Company would have been $213,196 lower/higher (2014: $206,930 lower/higher) as a result of gains/losses on the fair value of the financial assets. (iii) Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s 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 Company $5,359,519 (2014: $1,774,144) 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 Company was 2.9% (2014: 3.0%). Sensitivity analysis At 30 June 2015, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Company would have been $65,253 lower/higher (2014: $20,666 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. (b) Credit risk The Company has no significant concentrations of 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. As the Company does not presently have any debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained. (c) Liquidity risk The Company 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 Company. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company 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 Company’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The financial liabilities of the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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. 35 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION Industry and geographical segment The Company operates in one segment, being the mining exploration sector in Australia. In determining operating segments, the Company has had regard to the information and reports the Managing Director decision maker uses to make strategic decisions regarding resources. The Managing Director is considered to be the chief operating decision maker and is empowered by the Board of Directors to allocate resources and assess the performance of the Company. 4.

These investments are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy used in measuring the fair value of these financial instruments, or changes in its classification as a result of a change in the purpose or use of these assets. Changes in fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are disclosed directly on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 37 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 10.

On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote. Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital. (e) Capital risk management The Company’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 Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’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 Company at 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Trade and other payables Working capital position 13.

These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. 22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS a) Employee and Consultant Options The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors), contractors and consultants of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees, contractors and consultants render services in exchange for options to acquire ordinary shares. The options issued have exercise prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.35 and expiry dates ranging from 31 January 2018 to 14 May 2019. Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was 4.3 cents (2014: 2.2 cents). The fair value was calculated by using the Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model applying the following inputs: Weighted average exercise price (cents) Weighted average life of the option (years) Weighted average underlying share price (cents) Expected share price volatility Risk free interest rate 2015 21.4 4.8 13.5 50.0% 2.69% 2014 26.3 5.0 10.0 50.0% 3.38% 42 Notes to the Financial Statements (Cont’d) 22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (Cont’d) b) Supplier Options Suppliers have been granted options in accordance with the terms of the non-renounceable pro-rata rights issue prospectus issued in May 2013, and the Initial Public Offering issued in August 2014. The options issued have exercise prices ranging from $0.20 to $0.35 and expiry dates ranging from 4 August 2017 to 1 August 2019. Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights.
