Annual Report 2009

Highlights 2009

Genesis completed two drilling programs during 2008 that confirmed the potential to define

a significant copper resource at the Merceditas Copper-Gold Project. 

The  Company  reported  in  January  2009  its  maiden  Mineral  Resource  estimate  for  the

Merceditas Project located in northern Chile:

• Maiden JORC Code compliant Inferred Resource Estimate for the Paula and Lucy

Prospects  of  6.4  million  tonnes  at  0.65%  copper  for  41,300  tonnes  of  contained

copper

•

•

90% of resource occurs from surface to 80m depth within interpreted oxide zones

amenable to heap leaching

Overall Inferred Mineral Resources estimate of 26.4 million tonnes at 0.44% copper,

at a cut-off grade of 0.3% copper containing 116,000 tonnes of copper.

Significant scope exists to increase both tonnes and grade with infill and extension drilling

as well as testing previously unexplored areas at both the Paula and Lucy Prospects.

Annual Report 2009

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

I am pleased to present the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2009.

Despite difficult economic conditions, for the past year we have continued to advance the Merceditas Project in Chile.
We  completed  our  second  phase  drilling  program  in  October  2008,  leading  to  the  release  of  our  maiden  resource
estimate for the Merceditas Project in January 2009.  The results confirm the potential to delineate a substantial copper
resource at Merceditas.

During the past year we also reviewed numerous acquisition opportunities.  We have focused mainly on opportunities in
Latin America and in particular Chile where we see a strategic opportunity to grow due to the availability of numerous
significant, mid sized projects that generally do not meet the investment criteria of major resource companies.  

Chile is the World’s largest copper producing country, hosting three of the World’s five largest copper mines.  It is highly
prospective  for  copper,  gold,  molybdenum  and  magnetite.    It  has  very  good  infrastructure  and  is  a  highly  attractive
destination  for  foreign  investment  due  to  its  political  and  economic  stability,  its  excellent  communications,  its  broad
network of trade agreements and the legal security and stability that it offers. As such we regard further investment in
resources projects in Chile very highly.

On behalf of the Board I would like to thank you for your continued support and I look forward to keeping you informed
of our progress during the forthcoming year.

Michael Haynes
Chairman

2009 Operations Summary

Merceditas Project - Chile

In January 2008 Genesis Minerals Limited reached agreement with Andes Pacific Development S.A., a private Chilean
Company, to acquire a 100% interest in the 18km2 Merceditas copper-gold project in northern Chile. The Merceditas
Project  is  located  80km  north  of  the  city  of  Copiapó,  approximately  1,000km  north  of  Santiago,  the  capital  of  Chile.
The  Project  is  located  60km  from  the  Pacific  Ocean,  and  100km  and  70km  from  the  ports  of  Caldera  and  Chañaral
respectively.

The Project is located in northern Chile’s Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold ("IOCG") belt which is one of the most prospective
IOCG provinces in the World and hosts numerous deposits including Candelaria (470Mt @ 0.95% copper) and Manto
Verde (350Mt @ 0.75% copper). The Project is located at low altitude in the Atacama Desert and is easily accessible by
road.  It lies within an area that is serviced by very good infrastructure.

The  Merceditas  Project  comprises  two  main  prospects,  Paula  and  Lucy.    Significant  copper  oxide  mineralisation  has
been defined at surface over a 5km by 3km area and is exposed in a number of trenches and in outcrop.

Annual Report 2009

To  date  Genesis  has  completed  67  RC  holes  at  the  Merceditas  Project  in  two  phases,  between  May  and  October
2008, for a total of 5,320 metres.  This drilling has comprised mostly wide spaced drilling at the Principal Zone SE and
the Pupy Zone at the Paula Prospect, together with and limited drilling at the Lucy Prospect.  The average hole depth
was 80 metres.  The mineralised zones defined to date remain open along strike and at depth.

Paula Prospect

Drilling  at  the  Pupy  Zone  at  the  Paula  Prospect  has  intersected  significant  copper  mineralisation  over  400  metres  of
strike.  Wide zones of copper mineralisation were returned from surface in adjacent holes MERC041 (78m @ 0.78 %
Cu  from  2  metres)  and  MERC042  (80m  @  0.66  %  Cu  from  0  metres).    MERC045 drilled  150m  to  the  west
returned 40m @ 0.57 % Cu from 34 metres.  Mineralisation at Pupy remains completely open to the northeast and at
depth.  

Wide spaced drilling along the Principal Zone has outlined copper mineralisation over 1,500m of strike, with mineralised
zones  open  at  depth  and  along  strike.    Further  infill  drilling  and  strike  extensional  drilling  is  required,  together  with
comprehensive testing for potential primary mineralisation.

Lucy Prospect

MERC063  (26m  @  0.66%  Cu  from  28  metres  and  40m  @  0.75%  Cu  from  60  metres) and  MERC064  (56m  @
0.63%  Cu  from  44  metres) returned  significant  copper  mineralisation  over  a  zone  100  metres  wide,  confirming
significant mineralisation previously reported from MERC035.  Oxide mineralisation is open to the north and northeast,
with no drilling having been completed under transported gravel cover.  MERC062 returned 38m @ 0.40 % Cu and
0.50g/t gold from 4 metres from the western side of the Lucy Prospect.

2009 Operations Summary continued

An Inferred Resource, based on drilling completed to date, was calculated in December 2008 for the Paula and Lucy
Prospects. This comprised 6.4Mt @ 0.65% copper for 41,300 tonnes of contained copper.  The Lucy Prospect
contains 3.9Mt @ 0.16g/t gold for 19,700 ounces of gold.  Details of the resource parameters can be found on the
Genesis Minerals Limited web site (www.genesisminerals.com.au).

Risk Management 
The board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned with
the risks and opportunities identified by the board. 
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 
The  Company  raised  $690,000  through  the  issue  of  3.45  million  ordinary  shares  to  institutional  and  sophisticated  investors  during 
September 2008. Funds raised are being used to actively pursue the Company’s exploration projects. 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 
No  matters  or  circumstances,  besides  those  disclosed  at  note  22,  have  arisen  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year  which  significantly
affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in
future financial years. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 
The  Group  expects  to  maintain  the  present  status  and  level  of  operations  and  hence  there  are  no  likely  developments  in  the  entity's 
operations. However if additional capital is not obtained by January 2010 the Company is unlikely to participate further in the Merceditas
Project, as a USD1.5million option payment is due on that date. 

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE 
The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities. 
The  Group  aims  to  ensure  the  appropriate  standard  of  environmental  care  is  achieved,  and  in  doing  so,  that  it  is  aware  of  and  is  in 
compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Group are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for 
the year under review. 
The  directors  have  considered  the  recently  enacted  National  Greenhouse  and  Energy  Reporting  Act  2007  (the  NGER  Act)  which 
introduces  a  single  national  reporting  framework  for  the  reporting  and  dissemination  of  information  about  greenhouse  gas  emissions, 
greenhouse  gas  projects,  and  energy  use  and  production  of  corporations.  At  the  current  stage  of  development,  the  directors  have 
determined  that  the  NGER  Act  will  have  no  effect  on  the  Group  for  the  current,  nor  subsequent,  financial  year.  The  directors will 
reassess this position as and when the need arises.

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 Genesis Minerals Limited has been designed to align director and executive 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  Genesis  Minerals  Limited  believes  the  remuneration  policy  to  be
appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company. 
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is 
as follows: 
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the
board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service 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 the highest
calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. 
Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. 
The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 
9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 
All  remuneration  paid  to  directors  and  executives  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 subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $300,000). 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 and are able to participate in the employee option plan. 

Performance based remuneration  

The company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages. 

Company performance, shareholder wealth and directors' and executives' remuneration 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  the  direct  positive  relationship  between  shareholders  investment  objectives  and
directors  and  executives  performance.  The  Company  plans  to facilitate this  process  by  directors  and  executives  participating  in  future 
option  issues  to  encourage  the  alignment  of  personal  and  shareholder  interests.  The  company  believes  this  policy  will  be  effective  in
increasing shareholder wealth. For details of directors and executives interests in options at year end, refer to note 16 of the financial 
statements. 

Details of remuneration 

B 
Details  of  the  remuneration  of  the  directors,  the  key  management  personnel  of  the  Group  (as  defined  in  AASB  124  Related  Party 
Disclosures) and specified executives of Genesis Minerals Limited and the Genesis Minerals Group are set out in the following table. 
The key management personnel of Genesis Minerals Limited include the directors and company secretary as per page 3 above. 
Given  the  size  and  nature  of  operations  of  Genesis  Minerals  Limited,  there  are  no  other  employees  who  are  required  to  have  their 
remuneration disclosed in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Genesis Minerals Limited 

Corporate Governance Statement 

The Board of Directors 

The  company's  constitution  provides  that  the  number  of  directors  shall  not  be  less  than  three  and  not  more  than  nine.    There  is  no
requirement for any share holding qualification. 
As  and  if  the  company's  activities  increase  in  size,  nature  and  scope  the  size  of  the  board  will  be  reviewed  periodically,  and  as
circumstances demand. The optimum number of directors required to supervise adequately the company's constitution will be determined
within the limitations imposed by the constitution. 
The membership of the board, its activities and composition, is subject to periodic review.  The criteria for determining the identification
and appointment of a suitable candidate for the board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement, 
compatibility with other board members, credibility within the company's scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to board's
duties and physical ability to undertake board's duties and responsibilities. 
Directors are initially appointed by the full board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the company's
constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is
subject  to  reappointment  by  shareholders  not  later  than  the  third  anniversary  following  his  or  her  last  appointment.  Subject  to  the
requirements  of the  Corporations  Act  2001,  the board  does  not subscribe  to  the  principle  of  retirement  age and there  is  no  maximum 
period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, subject
to the terms of any agreement entered into, may revoke any appointment. 
The board considers that the company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate
or special committees (other than an Audit Committee) at this time.  The board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of 
the full scope of the company's activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards. 

Role of the Board 

The board's primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value. 
To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for oversight of management and the overall corporate governance of the company including
its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals. 

Appointments to Other Boards 

Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards. 

Independent Professional Advice 

The board has determined that individual directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as directors, to seek 
independent professional advice at the company's expense.  With the exception of expenses for legal advice in relation to director's rights
and duties, the engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably. 

Continuous Review of Corporate Governance 

Directors consider, on an ongoing basis, how management information is presented to them and whether such information is sufficient to
enable  them  to  discharge  their  duties  as  directors  of  the  company.    Such  information  must  be  sufficient  to  enable  the  directors  to
determine appropriate operating and financial strategies from time to time in light of changing circumstances and economic conditions.
The  directors  recognise  that  mining  exploration  is  an  inherently  risky  business  and  that  operational  strategies  adopted  should,
notwithstanding, be directed towards improving or maintaining the net worth of the company.  

ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance 

The board has reviewed its current practices in light of the revised ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with a
view to making amendments where applicable after considering the company's size and the resources it has available. 
As  the  company's  activities  develop  in  size,  nature  and  scope,  the  size  of  the  board  and  the  implementation  of  any  additional  formal
corporate governance committees will be given further consideration. 
The board has adopted the revised Recommendations and the following table sets out the company's present position in relation to each
of the revised Principles.

Matters reserved for the Board are included on the Company website

The  remuneration  of  management  and  employees  is  reviewed  by  the
Managing Director and approved by the Board. 
Acting in its ordinary capacity the Board from time to time carries out
the process of considering and determining performance issues. 
Matters  reserved  for  the  Board  can  be  viewed  on  the  Company
website. 

Given the Company’s background, the nature and size of its business
and  the  current  stage  of  its  development,  the  board  comprises  three
directors,  two  of  whom  are  non-executive.    The  board  believes  that 
this is both appropriate and acceptable at this stage of the Company’s
development. 

The position of Chairman and Managing Director are held by separate
persons. 

The  full  Board  is  the  Nomination  Committee.  Acting  in  its  ordinary
capacity  from  time  to  time  as  required,  the  Board  carries  out  the 
process  of  determining  the  need  for  screening  and  appointing  new
Directors. In view of the size and resources available to the Company
it is not considered that a separate Nomination Committee would add
any substance to this process. 
Given  the  size  and  nature  of  the  Company  a  formal  process  for
performance evaluation has not been developed.

Genesis Minerals Limited 

Notes to the Financial Statements 

30 JUNE 2009 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report  are  set  out  below.  These  policies  have  been
consistently  applied  to  all  the  years  presented,  unless  otherwise  stated.  The  financial  report  includes  separate  financial  statements  for 
Genesis Minerals Limited as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of Genesis Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries.
The financial report is presented in the Australian currency. Genesis Minerals Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and
incorporated in Australia. The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2009. The directors have the 
power to amend and reissue the financial report. 

(a) Basis of preparation 

This  general  purpose  financial  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  other  authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Compliance with IFRS 
The financial report of Genesis Minerals Limited also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) 

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. 

Going concern 
The  accounts  have  been  prepared  on  the  going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  continuity  of  normal  business  activities  and  the
realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group incurred a loss from ordinary activities of
$1,434,649 for the year ended 30 June 2009 (2008: $2,002,970). Included within this loss was the write off of exploration expenditure of
$937,594 (2008: $1,555,288). 
The net working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2009 was $222,673 (2008: $982,590) and the net decrease in cash held during
the year was $877,286 (2008: increase of $926,401). 
The  ability  of  the  Company  and  the  Group  to  continue  to  pay  its  debts as  and  when  they  fall  due  is  dependent  upon  the  Company 
successfully raising additional share capital and ultimately developing one of its mineral properties. 
The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare these accounts on a going concern basis because: 
• 

the Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required. In light of the Group’s current exploration
projects,  the  Directors  believe  that  the  additional  capital  required  can  be  raised  in  the  market.  Refer  to  note  22  for  details  of  a 
successful capital raising after the reporting date; and 
the Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate funding is unavailable. 
Should the Company not be successful in its planned capital raisings, it may be necessary to sell some of its assets, farm out exploration
projects, reduce exploration expenditure by various methods including surrendering less prospective tenements. Although the Directors
believe that they will be successful in these measures, if they are not, the Company and the Group may be unable to continue as a going
concern and therefore may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts
stated in the financial report. 

• 

(b) Principles of consolidation 

Subsidiaries 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Genesis Minerals Limited (“Company” or
“parent  entity”)  as  at  30  June  2009  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  Genesis  Minerals  Limited  and  its
subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity. 
Subsidiaries are all of those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and
operating  policies,  generally  accompanying  a  shareholding  of  more  than  one-half  of  the  voting  rights.  The  existence  and  effect  of 
potential  voting rights  that are currently exercisable  or convertible  are  considered  when  assessing  whether  the  Group  controls another
entity. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date 
that control ceases. 
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.

Annual Report 2009

30 JUNE 2009 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals to
minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the income statement. Purchases from minority interests
result  in  goodwill,  being  the  difference  between  any  consideration  paid  and  the  relevant  share  acquired  of  the  carrying  value  of
identifiable net assets of the subsidiary. 
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries 
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 
Minority interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet
respectively. 
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Genesis Minerals Limited. 

(c) Segment reporting 
A business segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks
and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is identified when products or services are
provided  within a  particular  economic  environment  subject  to  risks  and  returns  that  are  different  from  those  of  segments  operating  in
other economic environments. 

(d) Foreign currency translation 
(i) Functional and presentation currency 

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of  the  Group’s  entities  are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic
environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian 
dollars, which is Genesis Minerals Limited's functional and presentation currency. 

(ii) Transactions and balances 

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the  dates of  the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when
they  are  deferred  in  equity  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  and  qualifying  net  investment  hedges  or  are  attributable  to  part  of  the  net
investment in a foreign operation. 
Translation differences on financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation 
differences  on  non-monetary  financial  assets  and  liabilities  such  as  equities  held  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  recognised  in
profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as 
available-for-sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity. 

(iii) Group companies 

assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; 

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a 
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 
(cid:120) 
(cid:120) 

income  and  expenses  for  each  income  statement  are  translated  at  average  exchange  rates  (unless  that  is  not  a  reasonable 
approximation  of  the  cumulative  effect  of  the  rates  prevailing  on  the  transaction  dates,  in  which  case  income  and  expenses  are 
translated at the dates of the transactions); and 

all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. 

(cid:120) 
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other 
financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold or
any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the 
income statement, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. 
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities 
and translated at the closing rate. 

(e) Revenue recognition 
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(f) Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense  or  revenue  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  period’s  taxable  income  based  on  the  applicable
income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to
unused tax losses. 
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 balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity. 

(g) Leases 
Leases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  where  the  Group,  as  lessee,  has  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the
present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-
term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the
income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for
each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and
the lease term. 
Leases  where  a  significant  portion  of  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  not  transferred  to  the  Group  as  lessee  are  classified  as 
operating  leases.  Payments  made  under  operating  leases  (net  of  any  incentives  received  from  the  lessor)  are  charged  to  the  income
statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

(h) Impairment of assets 
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment,
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment 
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  An  impairment  loss  is
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of 
an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels
for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of 
assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at each reporting date. 

(i) Cash and cash equivalents 
For  cash  flow  statement  presentation  purposes,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial 
institutions,  other  short-term  highly  liquid  investments  with  original  maturities  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily  convertible  to 
known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown 
within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. 

(j) Trade and other receivables 
Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful
debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 
(k) Investments and other financial assets 

Classification 
The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables,
held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments
were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as
held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date. 

(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 balance sheet. 

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments 
Held-to-maturity  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  and  fixed  maturities  that  the 
Group’s  management  has  the  positive  intention  and  ability  to  hold  to  maturity.  If  the  Group  were  to  sell  other  than  an  insignificant
amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity 
financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are
classified as current assets. 

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets 
Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in 
this  category  or  not  classified  in  any  of  the  other  categories.  They  are  included  in  non-current  assets  unless  management  intends  to 
dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated available-for-sale if they do not have fixed 
maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term. 

Financial assets - reclassification 
The Group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is 
no  longer  held  for  the  purpose  of  selling  it  in  the  near  term.  Financial  assets  other  than  loans  and  receivables  are  permitted  to  be 
reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely
to recur in the near term. In addition, the Group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and 
receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group has the intention and ability to hold these financial
assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification. 
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable,
and  no  reversals  of  fair  value  gains  or  losses  recorded  before  reclassification  date  are  subsequently  made.  Effective  interest  rates  for 
financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further
increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively. 

Change in accounting policy 
The  Group  has  adopted  the  policy  of  reclassifying  financial  assets  out  of  the  held-for-trading  category  from  1  July  2008,  following 
amendments made to AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in October 2008. Under the Group’s previous 
policy reclassifications of financial assets were not permitted. The Group did not reclassify any financial assets in the current reporting
period. Therefore, the change in accounting policy had no impact on the Group’s financial statements. 

Recognition and derecognition 
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell 
the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are
expensed to the income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have
expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the
income statement 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.

30 JUNE 2009 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

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
income statement within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Group’s right
to receive payments is established. 
Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  monetary  securities  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  and  classified  as  available-for-sale  are  analysed 
between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the
security.  The  translation  differences  related  to  changes  in  the  amortised  cost  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  and  other  changes  in 
carrying  amount  are  recognised  in  equity.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  other  monetary  and  non-monetary  securities  classified  as 
available-for-sale are recognised in equity. 
Details on how the fair value of financial investments is determined are disclosed in note 2. 

Impairment 

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its
cost is considered 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  income  statement.  Impairment
losses  recognised  in  the  income  statement  on  equity  instruments  classified  as  available-for-sale  are  not  reversed  through  the  income 
statement. 
If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Group’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 income 
statement. 

(l) Plant and equipment 

All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the items. 
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable
that  future  economic  benefits  associated  with  the  item  will  flow  to  the  Group  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.  The 
carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to the income statement during the reporting period in which they are incurred. 
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the reducing balance method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of
their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment,
the shorter lease term. The rates vary between 20% and 40% per annum. 
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. 
An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  greater  than  its 
estimated recoverable amount (note 1(h)). 
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement.
When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained
earnings. 

(m) Exploration and evaluation costs 

Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. 

(n) Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid.
The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms. 

(o) 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.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(ii)  Share-based payments 
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby 
employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’), refer to note 25. 
The  cost  of  these  equity-settled  transactions  with  employees  is  measured  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  at  the  date  at  which  they  are 
granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  is  recognised,  together  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity,  over  the  period  in  which the 
performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting
date’). 
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which 
the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This
opinion  is  formed  based  on  the  best  available  information  at  balance  date.  No  adjustment  is  made  for  the  likelihood  of  market 
performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. 
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised
for  the  award  is  recognised  immediately.  However,  if  a  new  award  is  substituted  for  the  cancelled  award,  and  designated  as  a 
replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original
award. 

(p) 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. 

(q) Earnings per share 
(i) Basic earnings per share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  equity  holders  of the  company,  excluding  any  costs  of 
servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by the  weighted average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial year, 
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. 

(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. 

(r) 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 balance sheet. 
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. 

(s) New accounting standards and interpretations 
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2009 reporting periods. The
Group’s and the parent entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. 

(i) AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 (effective from 
1 January 2009) 
AASB 8 will result in a significant change in the approach to segment reporting, as it requires adoption of a ‘management approach’ to
reporting  on  financial  performance.  The  information  being  reported  will  be  based  on  what  the  key  decision  makers  use  internally  for
evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments. The Group will adopt AASB 8 from 1 
July 2009. Adoption of AASB 8 may result in different segments, segment results and different types of information being reported in
the segment note of the financial report. However, at this stage, it is not expected to affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial
statements.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) 

(ii) Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 2007-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising 
from AASB 101 (effective from 1 January 2009) 
The  September 2007  revised  AASB  101  requires  the  presentation  of  a  statement  of  comprehensive  income  and  makes  changes  to  the 
statement of changes in equity, but will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. If an entity has made a prior
period adjustment or has reclassified items in the financial statements, it will need to disclose a third balance sheet (statement of financial 
position), this one being as at the beginning of the comparative period. The Group intends to apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009.

(iii)  AASB  2008-1  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standard  –  Share-based  Payments:  Vesting  Conditions  and  Cancellations 
(effective from 1 January 2009) 
AASB 2008-1 clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only and that the other features of a
share-based  payment  are  not  vesting  conditions.  It  also  specifies  that  all  cancellations,  whether  by  the  entity  or  other  parties,  should
receive the same accounting treatment. The Group will apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009, but it is not expected to affect the 
accounting for the Group’s share-based payments. 

(iv) Revised AASB 3 Business Combinations, AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and AASB 2008-3 Amendments 
to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 (effective from 1 January 2009) 
The  revised  AASB  3  continues  to  apply  the  acquisition  method  to  business  combinations,  but  with  some  significant  changes.  For
example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified 
as debt subsequently remeasured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net 
assets. All acquisition-related costs must be expensed. 
The revised AASB 127 requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change 
in  control  and  these  transactions  will  no  longer  result  in  goodwill  or  gains  and  losses,  see  note  1(b).  The  standard  also  specifies  the 
accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is remeasured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit 
or loss. This is consistent with the Group’s current accounting policy if significant influence is not retained. 
The  Group  will  apply  the  revised  standards  prospectively  to  all  business  combinations  and  transactions  with  non-controlling  interests 
from 1 July 2009. 

(v) AASB 2008-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or 
Associate (effective 1 July 2009) 
In  July  2008,  the  AASB  approved  amendments  to  AASB  1  First-time  Adoption  of  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards and 
AASB  127  Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements.  The  Group  will  apply  the  revised  rules  prospectively  from  1  July  2009.
After  that  date,  all  dividends  received  from  investments  in  subsidiaries,  jointly  controlled  entities  or  associates  will  be  recognised  as
revenue, even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits, but the investments may need to be tested for impairment as a result of the
dividend payment. Under the entity’s current policy, these dividends are deducted from the cost of the investment. Furthermore, when a
new intermediate parent entity is created in internal reorganisations it will measure its investment in subsidiaries at the carrying amounts
of the net assets of the subsidiary rather than the subsidiary’s fair value. 

(vi) AASB 2008-8 Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective 1 July 2009) 
AASB  2008-8  amends  AASB  139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement  and  must  be  applied  retrospectively  in 
accordance with AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendment makes two significant
changes. It prohibits designating inflation as a hedgeable component of a fixed rate debt. It also prohibits including time value in the one-
sided hedged risk when designating options as hedges. The Group will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2009. It is not expected
to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements. 

(t) 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 Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or 
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are: 

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  Group’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 Group 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.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

The  Group’s  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks:  market  risk  (including  currency  risk,  interest  rate  risk  and  price  risk),
credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.  The  Group’s  overall  risk  management  program  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. 
Risk  management  is  carried  out  by  the  full  Board  of  Directors  as  the  Group  believes  that  it  is  crucial  for  all  board  members  to  be 
involved in this process. The Managing Director, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying,
assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management.  

(a) Market risk 

(i) Foreign exchange risk 
The  Group  and  the  parent  entity  operate  internationally  and  are  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  arising  from  various  currency
exposures, primarily with respect to the Chilean Peso. 
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is
not  the  entity’s  functional  currency  and  net  investments  in  foreign  operations.  The  Group  has  not  formalised  a  foreign  currency  risk
management policy however, it monitors its foreign currency expenditure in light of exchange rate movements. 
The Group’s and the parent entity’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables 
Trade and other payables 

Consolidated 

Parent Entity

(19,842,189)

- 

Sensitivity analysis 
Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2009, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the Chilean 
Peso with all other variables held constant, there would have been nil impact on the Group’s and the parent entity’s post-tax losses for the 
year (2008: Nil) and immaterial movements to the Group’s and parent entity’s equity for both years presented. 

(ii) Price risk 
Given the current level of operations, neither the Group, nor the parent entity, are exposed to price risk. 

(iii) Interest rate risk 
The Group and the parent entity are exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to
monitor  the  interest  rate  yield  curve  out  to  six  months  to  ensure  a  balance  is  maintained  between  the  liquidity  of  cash  assets  and  the 
interest  rate  return.  The  entire  balance  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  for  the  Group  $286,034  (2008:  $1,147,395)  and  the  parent  entity
$282,005 (2008: $1,057,595) are subject to interest rate risk. The proportional mix of floating interest rates and fixed rates to a maximum 
of six months fluctuate during the year depending on current working capital requirements. The weighted average interest rate received
on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 4.3% (2008: 5.9%) and by the parent entity 4.2% (2008: 6.0%). 

Sensitivity analysis 
At 30 June 2009, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 80 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables
held constant, post-tax loss for both the Group and the parent entity would have been $6,000 lower/higher (2008: $17,500 lower/higher) 
as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. 

(b) Credit risk 

Neither  the  Group,  nor  the  parent  entity,  have  any  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 balance sheet and notes to the 
financial statements. 
As  the  Group  does  not  presently  have  any  debtors,  lending,  significant  stock  levels  or  any  other  credit  risk,  a  formal  credit  risk 
management policy is not maintained.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d) 

(c) Liquidity risk 

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable 
securities  are  available  to  meet  the  current  and  future  commitments  of  the  Group.  Due  to  the  nature  of  the  Group’s  activities,  being
mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. 
The  Board  of  Directors  constantly  monitor  the  state  of  equity  markets  in  conjunction  with  the  Group’s  current  and  future  funding
requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. 
The financial liabilities of the Group and the parent entity are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Balance Sheet. All
trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date. 

(d) Fair value estimation 

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and the parent entity at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating 
their carrying amount. 
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market
price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. 
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their
short-term nature.

(d) Ordinary shares 
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the company in proportion to the number
of and amounts paid on the shares held. 
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 Group’s and the parent entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so
that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the
primary  source  of  funding  being  equity  raisings.  Therefore,  the  focus  of  the  Group’s  capital  risk  management  is  the  current  working
capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is
to  ensure  appropriate  liquidity  is  maintained  to  meet  anticipated  operating  requirements,  with  a  view  to  initiating  appropriate  capital
raisings as required. The working capital position of the Group and the parent entity at 30 June 2009 and 30 June 2008 is as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Trade and other receivables

Genesis Minerals Limited has provided an unsecured, interest free loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis Minerals (Chile) S.A.. 
An  impairment  assessment  is  undertaken  each  financial  year  by  examining  the  financial  position  of  the  subsidiary  and  the  market  in
which  the  subsidiary  operates  to  determine  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  the  subsidiary  is  impaired.  When  such  objective
evidence exists, the Company recognises an allowance for the impairment loss.

congruence. The exercise price of the options granted is 20 cents with an expiry date of 28 February 2013. 
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. 
Set out below are summaries of the options granted:

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 2.58 years (2008: 3.58), 
with an exercise price of 20 cents. 

Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions 
There were no options granted during the current year. The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the prior year was 
12.7 cents. The price 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

Historical volatility has been used as the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it assumed that this is indicative of future 
trends, which may not eventuate.  

The life of the options is based on historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future. 

Total expenses arising from share-based payment transactions recognised during the year were as follows:
