Chairman’s Report
Dear Shareholders
On behalf of the Board of Directors of GBM Resources I am pleased to present you with the Company’s 2016
Annual Report.
As a board we set several key corporate and project objectives for the year with the key objective to become
a gold producer in the near-term. This objective remains on track with the progress of the Company’s flagship
Mount Coolon Gold Project.
We have increased the size, scope and viability of the Mount Coolon Gold Project over the last financial year.
The Scoping Study demonstrated positive project economics of heap leaching the oxide resource at the Eugenia
Deposit and has the potential to see the Company achieve near-term gold production with potential to generate
a strong positive cash flow and growth opportunities. Further exploration works are currently being completed
in parallel with the Eugenia Deposit with a focus on investigating development options including the potential for
near-term production from toll milling of the Koala and Glen Eva gold resources.
Exploration work completed by the Company at Mount Morgan has led to the re-classification of Mount Morgan
as a porphyry-related deep epithermal style. This follows with acquiring one of the largest-known mineralised
porphyry copper systems in eastern Australia, The Moonmera Copper-Molybdenum Project from Rio Tinto, which
lies less than 10 km away from Mount Morgan. The focus for the Company in 2017 will be around unlocking the
potential higher-grade mineralisation zones by undertaking a project wide data compilation and review.
In keeping with our strategy, the Company is also pleased to advise that the Lubuk Mandi Gold Mine in Malaysia
listed on the Singapore Exchange, and following the Joint Venture partner’s operations incorporated into a
new company, GBM now has an 11% equity interest, via its holding of 35 million ordinary shares in Anchor
Resources Limited.
We have also continued into our fifth consecutive year with an excellent record of zero harm in safety and
environment. This is a credit to our people and an indication of the Company’s committed approach to operating
in a safe, sustainable, socially and environmental responsible manner.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all our shareholders, employees, contractors and suppliers who have
contributed to our success and achievements during the year.
Yours sincerely
Peter Thompson
Executive Chairman

n Mount Coolon Gold Project:
• The mineral resource at Mount Coolon Gold Project has been upgraded compliant with JORC code 2012
and estimated to contain 315,000 ounces of gold.
• Successful exploration has identified six major gold mineralisation systems hosting defined resources at
Eugenia, Koala and Glen Eva. To date 45 exploration prospects associated within these areas have been
identified and will be systematically assessed.
• Significant resource increase at Koala Gold Mine by 135% to 1.4 million tonnes at an average grade of
2.6 g/t containing an estimated 118,700 ounces. The Koala Gold Deposit now has an identified gold
endowment (past production and current resources) containing an estimated 378,000 ounces with
significant exploration upside.
• Scoping Study demonstrates positive project economics of heap leaching the oxide resource at Eugenia
Deposit. The mine is a small open pit, heap leach gold operation, to operate over a 16-month period, with the
potential to generate a strong positive cash flow. Next step is to proceed with and complete a Feasibility Study.
The Company continues to evaluate the known eight mineralising systems with the aim to advance a number
of near-term production options by the end of this calendar year.
n Acquired 100% of the Moonmera Copper – Molybdenum Project from Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd, one of
n
the largest known mineralised porphyry copper systems in eastern Australia. The tenement is located less

Review of Operations
Exploration Strategy and Activity
GBM remains strategically focused on our Company’s vision, and our exploration efforts over the year has been
to review and develop our large and prospective landholding in highly prospective regions in Queensland and
Victoria, Australia. GBM’s flagship project is the 100% owned Mount Coolon Gold Mines Pty Ltd, which was
successfully acquired from Drummond Gold Limited in 2015. The Project features a number of deposits and
prospects containing high-grade gold mineralisation and is the major focus for the Company as we investigate
options for near-term gold production and growth opportunities. We believe this is a convincing demonstration
of the potential of this region.
To unlock the potential, GBM’s focus is on a number of key drivers for both short and long-term success:
4
Identify opportunities for early production and cashflow in deposits with potential for major resource growth.
4 Focus on the discovery of world-class gold and copper-gold deposits.
4 Competent, rapid and cost effective evaluation of discoveries.
4 Apply a systematic approach to mineral exploration and development.
4 Explore in regions with historic production offers a higher probability of new discovery.
4 Strengthen GBM’s executive and technical capabilities.
4 Maximise in-ground exploration expenditure.

Drilling at ‘the Brothers’, Bungalien
Whilst the focus of exploration in 2016 was on increasing the Mineral Resource at Mount Coolon, review of historic
exploration data and drill testing of targets was also completed during the year.
The ongoing review of available exploration data at Mount Coolon identified eight key mineralising systems which
will be systematically assessed. The Mount Coolon assets located in the Drummond Basin, one of Australia’s
most prominent regions for large, epithermal vein and stockwork style gold deposits.
The completion of a deep diamond tail at Bungalien ‘The Brothers’ prospect and the commencement of drilling
at two prospects (FC2 and FC12) at the Mount Margaret West project has provided the confidence to conduct
further exploration work over these highly prospective areas.
These targets are part of the Bungalien and Mount Margaret Projects of which our Farm-In Joint Venture
partners Pan Pacific Copper and Mitsui Corporation of Japan completed the final year of an initial six-year
Farm-In agreement during the March quarter this year. Discussions have continued with Pan Pacific Copper
and they have indicated that they wish to proceed to formalise a joint venture to further progress the exploration
and development of the tenement areas, however, Mitsui have elected not to continue and will withdraw from
the project.
The acquisition from Rio Tinto Exploration of the Moonmera Copper-Molybdenum porphyry Project during
the March quarter this year has undoubtedly raised the prospectivity of the Mt Morgan project area.
The Moonmera Project is one of the largest known mineralised porphyry copper systems in eastern Australia
and is located less than 10km from the world-class Mount Morgan mine in Central Queensland.
Total exploration expenditure on the Company’s tenements for 2016 was A$2.6 million compared to a total
of A$2.7 million in the 2015 year GBM will be stepping up activities in the 2017 financial year with a focus
of bringing the Mount Coolon Gold Project into gold production.

The Mount Coolon Gold Project has continued to be the priority for the Company with the potential for both
near-term production and larger discoveries with long-term production potential being pursued. In April 2015,
GBM completed the acquisition of Mount Coolon Gold Mines from Drummond Gold Pty Ltd which holds a
portfolio of tenements and associated gold resources.
Situated on Queensland’s Drummond Basin, a prolific gold province, which has proven fertile for discovery
of epithermal and intrusive relation gold systems, has a total known gold endowment in excess of
7.5 million ounces of gold.
Located approximately 250km to the West of Mackay in North Queensland, the tenement package includes four
granted Mining Leases and four granted Exploration Permits covering a total area of 773km2 and holds potential
for further significant discoveries both at the know deposits, and at a number of targeted exploration prospects
already identified.
Upgrade and Growing Resource
The year has seen the successful progression of the Company’s resource expansion strategy,
delivering a significant increase in Mount Coolon’s gold resource
The three main deposits (Koala, Glen Eva and Eugenia) which contribute to the resources at the Mount Coolon
Gold Project have been examined, reviewed and upgraded during the year to comply with the requirements
of the guidelines of the JORC code (2012 edition).
GBM made a significant 135% increase to the Koala Gold Mine resource to 1.4 million tonnes, averaging
2.6 g/t Au containing an estimated 118,700 ounces of gold. This brings Mount Coolon gold resource to
approximately 314,700 ounces of gold with an average grade of 1.5 g/t. A total of 57% of gold ounces
are within the Measured and Indicated categories, providing GBM with more confidence in exploring
and continuing to prove and add to the global resource.

Review of Operations
Positive Scoping Study
for Eugenia Deposit
Demonstrated positive project economics.
GBM completed the Eugenia heap leach Scoping Study
in August this year (refer ASX announcement 23 August
2016). The study confirmed the potential economic
viability of heap leaching the oxide portion of the
Eugenia Gold Deposit.
The Study demonstrated that the short-term operation
could generate a strong cash flow estimated in excess
of A$22 million using a gold price of A$1,650 per ounce.
The Company in parallel, is also evaluating toll milling
opportunities for the Koala and Glen Eva open cuts
which have the potential to see the Company achieve
gold production in the near-term.
The mine is planned to be a small open cut operation
to operate over a 16-month period. Mining is planned
using truck and excavator mining technique involving
conventional drill and blast, load and haul using contract
mining equipment. The mineralised material will be
crushed and paddock dumped onto prepared heap
leach areas, before stacking and preparing for the
leach process.
The outcome of the Eugenia Heap Leach Scoping
Study demonstrates that a short-term operation
could generate a strong positive cash flow by the
December 2017 quarter.

Six Major Gold Mineralising Systems
Eugenia System
The gold mineralisation at Eugenia is a complex arrangement of at least 5 styles of structurally-controlled quartz
veins and sulphide disseminations, characteristic of a low sulphidation epithermal deposit type. The host rocks
are crystal-rich dacitic ignimbrites located in the Devono-Carboniferous Drummond Basin. The host units are
reported to have a shallow dip to the west combined with inferences of a steeper ‘feeder’ zone in the centre of the
mineralisation. An intermediate argillic alteration assemblage is extensively developed at Eugenia, which exhibits both
vertical and lateral zonation. Higher grade gold mineralisation occurs as quartz-carbonate veins and horizons within
the porous host lithologies. Outcrop is very limited with thick soil cover, namely the Tertiary Suttor Formation to the
north and Quaternary sands to the south. The weathering profile has been interpreted as a truncated lateritic profile
with depth to fresh rock averaging 50m below surface. There is evidence of localised supergene enrichment of the
gold associated with the base of oxidation.
The Eugenia deposit still has exploration upside with extensions indicated by some drill hole intersections to the
east, and also potential to discover a higher grade ‘feeder’ vein below the existing deposit yet to be fully explored.
Koala System
The detailed review of the geology of the Koala Deposit confirmed that lower grade stockwork mineralisation
extends for several metres on either side of the central high-grade chalcedony zone both below the open pit,
and around the old underground workings. The new resource model (tabulated below) includes this mineralisation
which contributes to the increase in contained ounces in a resource which is considered to be of sufficient grade
to support open pit mining.

Table 2: Koala summary reported by resource category and oxidation state.
Please note rounding: tonnes (1,000 t), grade (0.1 g/t) and contained gold (100 ounces).
The total historical production from underground mining to 1940 was 303,408 tonnes @ 18.4g/t Au, for 179,475
ounces of gold and 60,000 ounces of silver. A further 270,000 tonnes averaging 5.6 g/t Au yielded 53,000 ounces
of gold from open cut mining in the 1990s. GBM believe that drilling may not have tested the limits of mineralisation
either at depth or along strike. The known mineralisation has been mined and prospected over a strike length in
excess of one kilometre. In addition, a number of structural targets exist in the area nearby which hold potential
to host structural repeats of the Koala Gold Mine setting.
GBM Resources Annual Report 2016

Review of Operations
Glen Eva Gold Mine
The Deposit currently hosts a Resource estimated at
154,000 tonnes averaging 7.5 g/t Au containing 37,200
ounces of gold. This high-grade Deposit remains open
at depth, and exploration along strike does not appear
to have penetrated the shallow cover that obscures the
extensions to the mineralisation. A number of prospects
have been generated in close proximity to the Glen Eva
Gold Mine by mapping, geophysical analyses and soil
sampling including; Four Posts, Fence, Serpent and
Arsenic Anomaly. More distal prospects include Eastern
Siliceous Zone, Canadian-Blackbutt, Last Stand and
Porcupine each show evidence of gold mineralisation
and alteration and remain to be investigated in detail
by GBM.
Bimurra Prospect
GBM completed an initial review of the exploration data
available which identifies extensive gold mineralisation at
the Bimurra Gold Prospect. An Exploration Target range
has been estimated for the Perseverance-Elizabeth area
of the Bimurra Prospect of between 10 million tonnes at
an average grade of 0.7 g/t Au containing an estimated
230,000 ounces of gold and 4 million tonnes at an
average grade of 1.2 g/t Au containing an estimated
120,000 ounces of gold (refer ASX announcement
21 September 2015).
It should be noted that the potential quantity and grade
is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient
exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it
is uncertain if further exploration will result in the
estimation of a Mineral Resource.
The Bimurra Project area prospect represents a
large mineralising hydrothermal system (The Bimurra
Hydrothermal System) hosting numerous prospects
and mineral occurrences, almost all fit into the styles
generally associated with epithermal low sulphidation
mineralising systems. Previous explorers have identified
and named nine gold prospects; Blenheim, Hilltop,
Perserverance, Elizabeth, Bimurra East, Camp Creek,
Ramillies, Bungobine Peak and Bimurra North East.
In addition, a number of conceptual targets have been
identified based on structural interpretation, soil and
rock chip geochemistry. The area is also dotted with
occasional unnamed pits and shafts from historic
prospecting activity.
GBM is in the process of locating and compiling data
from previous explorers and to date have assembled
a data set which includes analyses, survey information
and geological data including 9,285 samples from
130 drill holes. Initial interpretation and modelling
is now well advanced for the main Bimurra mineral
occurrence, which includes the Perseverance and
Elizabeth zones, the two most intensely tested areas
by previous explorers.
Detailed mapping has identified many continuous
and semi-continuous zones of chalcedonic quartz
veining, stockwork and brecciation. Rock sampling
and drill testing, both diamond and reverse circulation
percussion, has confirmed that gold mineralisation
continues to depth and over significant strike lengths.
Conway System
Contains multiple prospects and is considered to hold
potential for both bonanza epithermal vein style deposits
and bulk tonnage low grade disseminated deposits.
Prospects identified by previous explorers include:
Wobegong, Red Flag Hill, Quartz Reef Hill, Split Hill,
Bustard Egg Hill, Mill Hill, Big Sinter Hill
and Sinter Valley.
High-grade results have been reported by previous
explorers including 2 metres @27.0 g/t Au and 2 metres
@9.3 g/t Au at Wobegong Prospect (refer Drummond
Gold Ltd. IPO Prospectus 6 November 2007). Future
work by GBM will seek to verify previous drill results
and include them in a database to support analyses
and interpretation.
Verbena Sinter
Located 15 kilometres south east of Mount Coolon
and Koala Gold Mine on the same structural corridor.
The sinter outcrops over a 1.5 kilometre strike length
and up to 600 metres wide. Rock chip sampling and
shallow Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling have in the
past confirmed the presence of gold mineralisation,
but no Resource has been substantiated.
It is considered possible that an improved understanding
of the nature of the hydrothermal system operating
at the Verbena Sinter may lead to future discovery
of epithermal gold mineralisation at this prospect.
FY2017 Outlook
Further exploration works are currently being completed
in parallel with the ongoing Eugenia Heap Leach Study,
with a focus on investigating development options
including the potential for near-term production from
toll milling of the Koala and Glen Eva gold resources.
The Company expects to be in a position by the end
of December quarter this calendar year to confirm the
intention to proceed with the development of either toll
milling the open cuts, progress with the Eugenia Heap
Leach or both.
Resource drilling to upgrade geological and
geotechnical understanding of areas around the
old Koala underground mine workings is placed
to continue during the September quarter.

Mount Morgan Porphyry Copper-Gold Project,
Queensland (100% GBM)
Significant exploration potential in multi-million
ounce gold province.
The Project tenements surround the world-class
Mount Morgan Au Cu deposit which has produced
in excess of 8 million ounces of gold and
400,000 tonnes of copper.
2016 PROjECT HIGHLIGHTS
n Re-classification of Mount Morgan as a
porphyry-related deep epithermal style deposit.
n GBM acquired 100% of the Moonmera Copper-
Molybdenum Project from Rio Tinto Exploration
Pty Ltd in February 2016.
n Outstanding exploration project – one of
the largest known porphyry copper systems
in Eastern Australia.
n GBM currently undertaking project wide data
compilation and review, with a view to investigate
options to further fund and explore this project
including joint venture and farm-in options.
The Mount Morgan Project has a highly prospective
exploration tenement portfolio incorporating 11 granted
leases covering a total of approximately 781 square
kilometres. The tenements include: Smelter Return,
Limonite Hill and other buried targets within the Bajool
Project, Sandy Creek and Oakey Creek and the
Mt Gordon porphyry system.
The Company completed work with world-renowned
porphyry consultant Dr Greg Corbett of CMC Consulting
during the year, which has led to the re-classification of
Mount Morgan as a porphyry-related deep epithermal
style deposit.
The Company acquired the Moonmera Copper-
Molybdenum Project from Rio Tinto Exploration in
February this year and is a significant addition to GBM’s
existing Mount Morgan Copper Gold Project portfolio.
The single, very large 2 x 2.5 kilometre porphyry located
within tenement (EPM19849) was acquired from Rio for
the equivalent of A$35,000 in GBM ordinary shares. The
terms of the acquisition include a Net Smelter Royalty
(1%) on all minerals produced from the project area and
a Vendor Back-in Option whereby Rio has the option
to purchase, at fair market value, a 65% interest in the
project in the event that a Mineral Resource is identified
within the tenement that has an in-situ value of A$1.5
billion or greater. If the Back-in Option is exercised, both
parties become Joint Venture partners. In addition GBM
granted Rio a first right of refusal over the following
Victorian exploration prospects; Willaura, Lake Bolac,
Monkey Gully, Tin Creek and Rubicon.

Mapping by previous explorers, CRA Exploration, revealed a highly complex, multi-phase porphyry intrusive
system with widespread crackle-veining, mineralised breccia and disseminated sulphide and oxide mineralisation.
In 2014 Rio modelling of the high-quality magnetic data produced a largely untested anomaly wholly concealed
beneath the Jurassic cap that obscures the western half of the prospect.

Review of Operations
FY2017 Outlook
GBM’s growth strategy is focused around unlocking the potential mineralisation zones by undertaking a project wide
data compilation and review, with a view to investigate options to further fund and explore this project including joint
venture and farm-in options.
GBM has been developing a coherent geological model of the mineralisation as well as validating historic data from
previous mining operations within the Mount Morgan Deposit.
The future exploration programme at Moonmera will include the processing and interpretation of historic drilling,
geophysical and surface geochemical data. Existing Induced Potential (IP) geophysical surveys have detected known
sulphide mineralisation.
Systematic soil geochemistry over suitable areas and a new IP survey using modern techniques and high-power
transmitters may delineate high-grade mineralised zones within the greater magnetic anomaly. The western lobe
target has no previous IP coverage due to the rugged topography associated with the Jurassic sandstone cap.
Drill-testing of electrical targets will follow.

Other Exploration Interests
Brightlands and Milo Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) REE Project
Exploration opportunity with multiple targets for copper-gold mineralisation.
In addition, the Milo IOCG system with an estimated resource containing 97,000 tonnes of copper,
14 million pounds of U3O8 and 108,000 tonnes of TREEYO shows significant exploration upside.
The Milo Project on Brightlands EPM14416 is located due east of Mount Isa, and just 20 kilometres west of
Cloncurry on the Barkley Highway, far northwest Queensland. Brightland contains numerous targets for structurally
hosted and IOCG style copper and gold copper mineralisation.
Previous exploration by GBM has successfully delineated a large polymetallic resource at Milo. However, many
targets remain to be fully evaluated, and the Milo area still holds potential for significant resource extension.
A zone of TREEYO-P2O5 enrichment overprints and forms a halo to the base metal mineralisation. The REE zone
occurs as a moderate to steeply east dipping, northwest striking zone with a width of 100 metres to 200 metres.
This zone is very continuous at low grades (<200 ppm TREEYO) and has a simple shape.

Review of Operations
Mayfield IOCG Project
Exploration opportunity with high order copper-gold geochemical and drilling anomalies adjacent to the
high-grade Tick Hill Gold Mine and Trekelano Copper Mine in Queensland’s North West Mineral Province.
The Mayfield Project is located approximately 150 kilometres south east of Mount Isa within the Mary Kathleen Zone
of the Eastern Succession.
At either end of the project sit the Trekelano Cu-Au mine with a resource (2006) of 3.1 million tonnes @ 2.1% Cu
and 0.64g/t Au, and the Tick Hill mine which produced 470,000 tonnes averaging 28g/t Au.
The structural setting and fertile Corella Formation rocks combine to produce a highly prospective belt with
numerous IOCG-style Cu-Au and base-metal occurrences defined within. Almost the entire Pilgrim Fault Zone is
currently under lease and recent work by various companies, including Hammer Metals at their Kalman Project,
supports the potential for discovery within the Mayfield Project.

Target style IOCG mineralisation.
The Bungalien and Mount Margaret Projects are part of the Joint Venture.
The Mount Margaret West project is part of a
Farm-in Joint Venture with leading multinational
companies, Pan Pacific Co Ltd and Mitsui & Co
Ltd through their Australian registered subsidiary
Cloncurry Exploration & Development (CED).
The project is situated less than four kilometres
south from Ernest Henry Cu-Au-Magnetite Mine,
which was discovered in 1991.
The Mount Margaret tenements are in an area of
shallow cover (<100) over Proterozoic rocks that
include the host to the nearby Ernst Henry Mine.
The project area contains multiple targets
considered highly prospective for IOCG style
mineralisation. Exploration by CED to date has
been focused on reviewing the historical work
(drilling, geophysics, soil sampling) conducted by
companies such as Chevron, BHP, WMC, MIMEX
and Xstrata with the aim to identify gaps in the
previous exploration efforts and to delineate and
explore new areas that remain untested.
Priority was given during the year to the
completion of a deep diamond tail at Bungalien
‘The Brothers’ prospect and the commencement
of drilling at two highly ranked prospect areas
(FC2 and FC12). Both prospect displaying classic
IOCG-style anomalous magnetic and gravity
signatures and inadequate historic drill testing
through thin cover sediments.
A total of 5 moderate depth drillholes have been
completed by the Joint Venture across both
prospects, including two at FC12 during this
year. As a result of this drilling program, FC2
remains highly prospective for the discovery of
economic Cu-Au mineralisation whilst FC12 has
been downgraded due to poor assay results
and unfavourable host rock lithology.
Figure 9: GBM-CED JV tenement location plan.
These targets are part of the Bungalien and
Mount Margaret Projects of which our Joint Venture partners Pan Pacific Copper of Japan completed the final year
of an initial six-year Farm-In agreement during the March quarter this year.
Discussions are continuing with Pan Pacific Copper as they have indicated that they wish to proceed to formalise
a joint venture to further progress the exploration and development of the tenement areas.

Review of Operations
Victoria Gold Projects Intrusive related
Gold Systems (IRGS) (100% GBM)
Malmsbury Gold Project (EL4515 and EL5120)
Exploration opportunity with 104,000 ounces
of gold already in resources
and significant exploration upside.
The Malmsbury Gold Project is part of a large Intrusive
Related Gold System (IRGS) centred on Belltopper
Hill and IRGS systems are known to persist to much
greater depths in other regions and GBM considers
the Malmsbury Project (located in Central Victoria)
has the potential to host a large IRGS in a world class
gold province.
Surface geology at Malmsbury reveals a large area
of alteration and mineralisation associated with a
demonstrated endowment of almost 200,000 ounces
within 200 metres of surface. This endowment
comprises 91,000 ounces of historical production and
104,000 ounces of the current Leven Star Resource.
At this time, historical production from a number
of shafts in the project area is still unknown. Many
zones remain to be drill tested and resources
evaluated. The current estimate of gold endowment is
considered incomplete in the near-surface environment.
This endowment is based on mineralisation within a
2 kilometre section of the Drummond North Goldfield
which remains open in all directions.
Completion of a 12 hole diamond drilling program
during 2008 which targeted the Leven Star Zone,
part of the Malmsbury Project, resulted in the deposit’s
Inferred Resource increasing to 0.8 million tonnes at
an average grade of 4.0 g/t Au containing 104,000
ounces of gold using a 2.5 g/t Au cut-off grade.
This cut-off was chosen to reflect a grade, which
based on experience is considered to be applicable
to extraction by underground mining methods.
This resource is contained within a 450 metre section
of the Leven Star Zone within the Drummond North
Goldfield which has an identified strike length of over
4,000 metres. The resource is considered open both
to depth and along strike.
Yea W-Mo-Au IRGS Prospect
A detailed grid soil sampling program was completed
at the Monkey Gully prospect located near Yea,
north-east of Melbourne. The program was designed
to infill existing soil sampling and attempt to define
the distribution of W-Mo relative to surface mapping
to better understand the controls on mineralisation.
Excellent correlation was reported for the elements
of interest at Monkey Gully; Mo-W-Cu (co-efficient
of determination, R2 > 0.97) and Fe, As (R2 > 0.91).
18 GBM Resources Annual Report 2016
The recent Niton work also supported the evidence for
the gold-bearing nature of the system at Monkey Gully
with more than 60 results reporting anomalous gold,
all from the central dyke/W-Mo zone. Conventional soil
sampling has returned peaks of 3.1 ppm Au (historic)
and 0.1 ppm Au (GBM) and gold was weakly anomalous
in MGDD08 (peak 0.3 ppm) and in historic drilling
(peak 0.8 ppm).
Two target styles have been proposed at Monkey Gully;
a near surface target of multiple close-spaced dykes
and dyke contacts and a deeper mineralised carapace
over the tonalite source intrusion. Given the size of the
central magnetic high (2 kilometre x 0.8 kilometre) and
the modelled association with a mineralised tonalite
carapace, the deep target has significant exploration
potential for a large-tonnage W-Mo +- Au IRGS deposit.
Willaura Prorphyry Cu–Au Prospect
A Target Exploration Grant was awarded during the year
to GBM for a work proposal relating to Anomaly ‘I’ within
EL5423 Lake Bolac. The proposed program consists
of soil sampling, IP geophysics and RC and DD drill
testing.
Grant funding of A$184,950 is available for the three-
staged program and is conditional upon GBM meeting
existing expenditure requirements for EL5423.

Tenement Summary
GBM Resources strong tenement portfolio consists
of 37 Exploration Permit for Minerals and four Mining
leases in nine provinces around Queensland and Victoria
all of which are granted covering a total of 3212 square
kilometres in the Country’s most prospective areas.
During the reporting period GBM acquired Moonmera
EPM 19849 from Rio Tinto. The tenement covers an
area of five sub-blocks (19 square kilometres) and holds
a key part in GBMs Mount Morgan Project.
In addition one new tenement was granted during the
reporting period, Brightlands West Ext EPM 18672
consisting of five sub-blocks located in the Mt Isa
region, North West Queensland forming part of the
Brightlands Project.
All of these licences (see tenement schedule) are
held 100% by the Company (or its wholly owned
subsidiaries). However, a farm-in agreement exists
between GBM Resources and Cloncurry Exploration and
Development Pty. Ltd. (owned by Pan Pacific Copper
and Mitsui Corporation), and subsequently all tenements
in the Mount Margaret and Bungalien Projects are
moving to 51% ownership by our Joint Venture partners.
In addition the transfer of EPM 19483 Mayfield
from Newcrest into GBM was approved during the
reporting period.
A summary of GBM’s tenements is provided in Table 3

GBM Resources Annual Report 2016 21
Annual Mineral Resources Statement
The following Annual Statement of Mineral Resources statement reflects the Company’s mineral resources
as at 30 June 2016.
For the purpose of preparing this Annual Statement of Mineral resources as at 30th of June 2016, GBM has
completed a review of each resource taking into account long term metal price, foreign exchange rates, cost
assumptions based on current industry conditions, any changes that may affect the capability for these resources to
be exploited or which may result in material changes to cut-off grades and physical mining parameters. It should be
emphasised that this is a summary only and for further detail the reader is referred to the respective ASX releases.
In relation to commodities key to GBM’s resource base the company holds the following views;
n Operating costs in the industry have significantly decreased since the end of the commodities boom.
In particular the availability and cost of labour, fuel and mining equipment has reduced.
n
The gold price is widely forecast to hold at least in the short to medium term with a number of forecasters
seeing potential for further increases in the medium to long term.
n Copper is widely forecast to enter a period of production shortfall in the long term putting upward pressure on
prices. However short term price forecasts are contradictory suggesting increased supply pressure and lower
prices in the coming year.
n REE demand continues to grow and uncertainty continues over the level of REE production sourced from illegal
mining in China. This should result in price increases in the medium to longer term.
n AUS$ is widely tipped to fall from the current level of around US$0.75 to as low as US$0.65 which would have
a further positive impact for Australian sourced metal production.
With these factors in mind the company believes that there is a reasonable expectation that resources at all projects
will eventually support mining operations.
Mount Coolon Gold Mines Limited
The Mount Coolon Project is located in the Drummond Basin in Queensland. Tenements and resources are owned
by 100% owned subsidiary, Mount Coolon Gold Mines Pty. Ltd.
Details relating to changes in the Mount Coolon resources since the last Annual Statement of Mineral Resources are

Explanatory Notes
* Copper Equivalent calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion
factor, summed and expressed in equivalent copper percentage. These results are exploration results only and no
allowance is made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. However it is the company’s
opinion that elements considered here have a reasonable potential to be recovered. It should also be noted that
current state and federal legislation may impact any potential future extraction of Uranium. Prices and conversion
factors used are summarised below, rounding errors may occur.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
GBM Resources Limited (‘the Company’) is a listed public company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated
financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 comprises the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’).
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the
financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, and Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. The
financial report has also been prepared on an historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated. The financial report
is presented in Australian dollars. For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements the
Company is a for-profit entity.
Adoption of New and Revised Standards –
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of accounting standards
In the year ended 30 June 2016, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for the current
annual reporting period. It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise,
of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s business and, therefore, no change is
necessary to Group accounting policies.
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not
yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2016. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that
there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group’s
business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.
b) Statement of Compliance
The financial report was authorised for issue on 14 September 2016.
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents
to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial
report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
c) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of GBM Resources Limited and its
subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group). The financial statements for the subsidiaries are prepared for
the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and
expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries
are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated
from the date on which the control is transferred out of the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the
assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for the period from their acquisition. Non-
controlling interests represent the portion of profit and loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group
and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
38 GBM Resources Annual Report 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is 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 asset.
Management Fees
Revenue from farm-in management fees is recognised at the time the fees are invoiced.
e)
Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from, or paid to, the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount
are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
• when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
• when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or
interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and
it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax
assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be
utilised, except:
• when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
• when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or
interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is
probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be
available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are re-assessed at each balance date and are recognised to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable
entity and the same taxation authority.
GBM Resources Annual Report 2016 39
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
f) Other Taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
• when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part
of the expense item as applicable; and
•
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables
or payables in the consolidated statement of financial position.
g) Financing Costs
Net financing costs comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred and included in net financing costs.
h) Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the
minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the
lessor is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly
against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in
accordance with the general policy on borrowing costs – refer Note 1(g).
Finance leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term, except
where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from
the leased asset are consumed.
i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in
hand. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts
of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
j)
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30–90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice
amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when
there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off
when identified.
40 GBM Resources Annual Report 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
k) Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing
the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying
amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Property and improvements
10-40 years
Office furniture and equipment
2.5-20 years
Plant and equipment
Motor Vehicles
0-40 years
8 years
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate,
at each financial year end.
i) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with
recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined
for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be
close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated
recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
ii) De-recognition and Disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no further future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset
is de-recognised.
l)
Investments and Other Financial Assets
Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are
classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity
investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially,
they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly
attributable transactions costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial
recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the
Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial
assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation
or convention in the marketplace.
i) Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in
the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging
instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.
GBM Resources Annual Report 2016 41
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
l)
Investments and Other Financial Assets (continued)
ii) Held-to-Maturity Investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-
maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments
that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This
cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative
amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount
and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the
contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and
discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when
the investments are de-recognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
iii) Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not
quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired,
as well as through the amortisation process.
iv) Available-for-Sale Investments
Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-
sale or are not classified as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for sale
investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of
equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time
the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference
to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance date. For investments with no active
market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length
market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same;
discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
v) Investment in Associated Entities
The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the
consolidated financial statements, after initially being recognised at cost. The associate is an entity in which the
Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Significant influence is the
power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control
over those policies.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the consolidated statement of financial
position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill
relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. After
application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional
impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in the associate.
Goodwill included in the carrying amount of the investment in an associate is not tested separately; rather
the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset. If an impairment is
recognised, the amount is not allocated to the goodwill of the associate.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations
of the associate, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The
cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any
unsecured long-term receivable and loans, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
42 GBM Resources Annual Report 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
l)
Investments and Other Financial Assets (continued)
Upon disposal of an associate that results in the Group losing significant influence over that associate, any
retained investment is measured at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial
recognition as a financial asset in accordance with AASB 139. The difference between the previous carrying
amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination
of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required
if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously
recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate would be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal
of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a
reclassification adjustment) when it loses significant influence over that associate.
When a Group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from those transactions with the
associate are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the
associate that are not related to the Group.
m) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest are recognised as an
exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are
satisfied: (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and (ii) at least one of the following conditions
is also met:
(a)
the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful
development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
(b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a
stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable
reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore,
studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation
and amortised of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only
included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational
activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated
being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss
(if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the
asset in previous years.
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest,
the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to
development.

n)
Impairment of Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If
any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an
estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less
costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value
in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part
of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories
consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at re-valued amount (in which case
the impairment loss is treated as a re-valuation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the
recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a
change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was
recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That
increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation,
had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or
loss unless the asset is carried at re-valued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a re-valuation
increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s
revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
o) Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group
becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
p)
Interest Bearing Liabilities
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly
attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised.
q) Employee Benefits
i) Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and non-accumulating sick
leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect
of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when
the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and
are measured at the rates paid or payable.
ii) Long Service Leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the
present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to
the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage
and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and period of service. Expected future payments are
discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and
currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
r) Share Based Payments
Equity Settled Transactions:
The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) of the Group in the form of share based
payments, 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 of the
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of options is determined by using a
Black and Scholes model. Share rights are valued at the underlying market value of the ordinary shares over
which they are granted.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions
linked to the price of the shares of GBM Resources Limited (market conditions) if applicable.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over
the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the
relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
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 Group’s best estimate of the number
of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance
conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant
date. The charge or credit to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for a period represents
the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only
conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms
had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair
value of the share based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at
the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, the cumulative expense recognised in respect of that award is
transferred from its respective reserve to accumulated losses. 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
awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
s) Share 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.
t) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members of the
Company for the reporting period, after excluding any costs of servicing equity (other than ordinary shares
and converting preference shares classified as ordinary shares for EPS calculation purposes), by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares of the Company, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the basic EPS earnings, adjusted by the after tax effect of financing costs
associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the effect on revenues and expenses of conversion,
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential dilutive ordinary shares, adjusted for any
bonus element.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
u) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business
combinations involving entities or business under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments
or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the
fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The
consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair
value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with
limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition
basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-
controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share
of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of
the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed,
the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree
is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group attains control) and the
resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior
to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to
profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which
the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is
incomplete. These provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional
assets or liabilities recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed
as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are
discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental
borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier
under comparable terms and conditions.
Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at
its acquisition-date fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as
measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against
goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained
during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and
circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that do not qualify as
measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent
consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent
settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability
is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with AASB 139, or AASB 137 ‘Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being
recognised in profit or loss.
46 GBM Resources Annual Report 2016
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
v) Provision for restoration and rehabilitation
A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of
development activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations
include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas.
The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required
to settle the restoration obligation at the balance date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any
changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each balance date.
The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset
and amortised on the same basis as the related asset, unless the present obligation arises from the production
of inventory in the period, in which case the amount is included in the cost of production for the period.
Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the same manner,
except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather
than being capitalised into the cost of the related asset.
w) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, GBM Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 31 has been prepared
on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the parent entity’s
financial statements. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss,
rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
x) Critical Accounting Estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances.
Accounting for capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Group’s accounting policy is stated at 1(m). A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to
determine the reasonableness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Share based payments
The Group uses independent advisors to assist in valuing share based payments.
Estimates and assumptions used in these valuations are disclosed in the notes in periods when these share
based payments are made.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 30 June 2016
2. Financial Risk Management
The Group has exposure to a variety of risks arising from its use of financial instruments. This note presents
information about the Group’s exposure to the specific risks, and the policies and processes for measuring and
managing those risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout this financial report. The Board of
Directors has overall responsibility for the risk management framework.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails
to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from transactions with customers and investments.
Trade and other receivables
The Group has no investments and the current nature of the business activity does not result in trading
receivables. The receivables that the Group recognises through its normal course of business are short term
in nature and the most significant (in quantity) is the receivable from the Australian Taxation Office and interest
receivable. The risk of non recovery of receivables from this source is considered to be negligible.
Cash deposits
The Group’s primary banker is Commonwealth Bank. At balance date all operating accounts and funds
held on deposit are with this bank. The Directors believe any risk associated with the use of only one
bank is mitigated by its size and reputation. Except for this matter the Group currently has no significant
concentrations of credit risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by monitoring its cash reserves and forecast spending. Management
is cognisant of the future demands for liquid finance resources to finance the Group’s current and future
operations, and consideration is given to the liquid assets available to the Group before commitment is
made to future expenditure or investment.
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and
equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective
of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters,
while optimising any return.
Currency risk
The Group is not exposed to any currency risk other than the respective functional currencies of each
Company within the Group, the Australian dollar (AUD).
Interest rate risk
As the Group has significant interest bearing assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are
materially exposed to changes in market interest rates. The assets are short term interest bearing deposits,
and no financial instruments are employed to mitigate risk (Note 20 – Financial Instruments).
(d) Capital management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market
confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors monitors capital
expenditure and cash flows as mentioned in (b).

The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Potential deferred
tax assets attributable to tax losses carried forward have not been brought to account because the Directors do
not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the future tax benefit as probable.
The potential future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:
i)
ii)
iii)
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be
realised in accordance with Division 170 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997;
the Group companies continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; and
no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefits.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate investments
The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
and the Group does not designate derivatives as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model.
Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of GBM Resources Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of GBM Resources Limited (“the company”),
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the
consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated
statement of changes in equity and the 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 for the Group. The Group comprises the company and the entities it
controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act
2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In Note 1(b), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101:
Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial report complies with International Financial
Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply
with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance 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 Group’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or
management.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001.
