Chairman’s Report

Dear Fellow Shareholder

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011.

In August 2010 Genesis entered into agreements to acquire a 100% interest in the Dinamarquesa Gold-Copper Project and a 100%
interest in the Cerro Verde Gold-Copper-Silver Project. Both projects are located in the Atacama Desert near the regional City of
Copiapó in northern Chile, in areas serviced by excellent infrastructure. We believe there is considerable potential to discover high grade
gold and copper mineralisation as well as disseminated porphyry hosted gold-copper mineralisation at both projects.

We completed our first drilling program at Dinamarquesa during the year and it returned highly encouraging results and we look forward
to advancing the project over the coming year.

In addition to our Projects in Chile Genesis entered into agreements with Teck Argentina to acquire 100% of the Poncha and Los Opeñas
Gold Projects in San Juan in Argentina. We are very excited about the potential of these two projects which both have a number of drill
ready targets. We plan to commence exploration in the coming months, when and we will be targeting high to bonanza grade gold
mineralisation.

The Company has established an excellent team of employees and contractors that are operating in highly prospective geological
terranes. As such we are in a great position to capitalise on strong global metal prices, particularly copper and gold prices. With four
highly prospective projects and a dedicated, highly competent management team, the Company is well positioned to leverage from
exploration success.

We will continue to simultaneously pursue the acquisition of other highly prospective, advanced copper and gold projects in South
America.

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.

Mike Haynes
Chairman

Review of Operations
During the year Genesis Minerals Limited entered into agreements to
acquire 100% of the Dinamarquesa and Cerro Verde Copper-Gold
Projects in northern Chile and 100% of the Poncha and Los Opeñas Gold
Projects in San Juan, Argentina.
A 2 month drilling program commenced in December 2010 at
Dinamarquesa with a second phase of drilling commencing in July 2011.
Excellent results from high-grade veins were returned from the first
drilling program along with highly encouraging porphyry copper-gold-
molybdenum mineralisation.
Genesis also finalised agreements with Teck Argentina in the first half of
2011 over the Poncha and Los Opeñas Projects. Both of these projects
are highly prospective for high to bonanza grade gold and silver
mineralisation with strong base metal credits.
DINAMARQUESA PROJECT, CHILE
Genesis Minerals Limited entered into an agreement in August 2010 with
in the
a private Chilean company to acquire a 100% interest
Dinamarquesa Project in northern Chile. The Project is located within
the highly mineralised Inca de Oro gold-copper belt which forms part of
the well-endowed Palaeocene Porphyry belt of northern Chile.

The Project is located in the Atacama Desert in an area with excellent infrastructure about 850 km north of Santiago, 90 km north of the
city of Copiapó and 75km east of the Pacific Ocean. The Project is 3km south west of the small town of Inca de Oro which is connected
by a sealed highway between Copiapó in the south and Diego de Almagro in the north.

Figure 1 Locations of Genesis’ Projects

Figure 2. Location of the Dinamarquesa Project.
The first drilling program of 7 holes for 2,200m was completed in January 2011. It targeted interpreted high grade vein and porphyry
copper systems.
Highly encouraging results (Genesis Minerals Limited ASX Releases, 18-01-2011 and 18-02-2011) were returned from the initial drilling
program including:

Porphyry Copper Mineralisation
Highly encouraging primary copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation was returned from the initial drilling program that targeted
porphyry hosted mineralisation at the Project. These results, together with recent geological mapping, highlight the significance of the
porphyry copper system at Dinamarquesa.
Drilling results (Genesis Minerals Limited ASX Releases, 02-03-2011) received to date include:

Only limited testing of the porphyry system has been completed. Mineralisation remains open in all directions and at depth. An initial
target area of 1,200m by 800m will be the focus of further drill testing (Figure 4).
The Dinamarquesa Project lies within a cluster of large Paleocene porphyry deposits including the Inca de Oro Deposit, 4km east
(769.7Mt @ 0.32% copper and 0.09g/t gold, Pan Aust ASX Release 8 June 2011) and the Carmen Deposit 5km south, within the Inca de

CERRO VERDE PROJECT, CHILE
Genesis has entered into an agreement with a private Chilean company to acquire a 100% interest in the Cerro Verde Gold
Copper
Silver Project in northern Chile. Mining in the area dates back to the 1800s but only limited modern exploration has been completed at
‐
the Project. Numerous high grade structures remain untested and the potential to discover new veins is considered high; as is the
potential to define a large porphyry system at the Project.
The Project is located in the Atacama Desert in an area serviced by very good infrastructure about 750 km north of Santiago, 80 km
south of the city of Copiapó and 75km east of the Pacific Ocean. The Project is easily accessed by a sealed road and well-formed gravel
roads from Copiapó. The altitude ranges from 1,800 to 2,200m, with low to moderate relief. Exploration can be conducted all year
round.
The Project hosts a sub
caldera system that is elongated north
‐
domes, diatreme
rhyolite flows, flow
entire stratigraphic column. Mineralised veins and structures strike north to north east with moderate to steep dips to the east and west.
Historic mining in the area dates back to the 1800’s with several high grade veins mined at depth. Only limited historic mining records
are currently available to Genesis. However, records indicate that in 1869 some 8,500 tonnes at ~17% copper were extracted from mines
in the area. Small scale mining and reclamation of old stockpiles continues at present.
Minor surface exploration was completed by Homestake between 1998 and 1999. Between 2004 and 2005, Hochschilds (MH Chile)
explored the area by surface mapping, sampling (334 surface samples) and limited diamond drilling (1,219m completed). The surface
rock chip sampling by Hochschilds highlighted significant gold, copper and silver surface mineralisation over a 4km by 2km area.
Strong arsenic, barium, bismuth, mercury, molybdenum, lead and stibnite anomalism is also present.
No other modern exploration is known to have been conducted at the Project.
A small surface sampling program was completed in November 2011 and a mapping and sampling program commenced during August
2011.
At the Cerro Verde Project extensive gold, copper and silver mineralisation has been defined at surface over a 5km by 2km area. There
is considerable potential to define significant high grade gold, copper and silver mineralisation within the extensive vein system.
Limited modern systematic exploration has been completed.

PONCHA AND LOS OPEÑAS PROJECTS, SAN JUAN ARGENTINA
Genesis Minerals Limited entered into agreements with Teck
Argentina Ltd. (“Teck”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Teck
Resources Limited, to acquire 100% of Teck’s right and interest in
the Poncha and Los Opeñas epithermal gold projects in San Juan
Province, Argentina.
Work carried out previously by Teck and other operators at the
Projects indicates that significant epithermal gold systems may be
present. Both Projects contain numerous drill ready targets. The
Projects are located in the mining friendly San Juan Province,
which has both large operating and development stage projects.
The Poncha and Los Opeñas Projects are located 200km northwest
of the regional capital San Juan and about 40km northwest of the
town of Rodeo in the foothills of the Andes, at elevations of
between 2,800m and 4,500m above sea level. Infrastructure in the
area is good and access to the Projects is gained via good paved
and gravel roads from Rodeo. The Projects are approximately
25km apart.
It is planned to commence a 4,000m drilling program at the Poncha
Project over the summer field season. Drilling will focus on the
numerous drill-ready high to bonanza grade gold targets.
A short mapping and sampling program is scheduled to commence
in August at Los Opeñas prior to undertaking a 1,500m drill
program.

Poncha
Teck first identified the Poncha Project in 2005. Exploration between 2006 and 2009 at the Poncha Project comprised drilling 18 holes
for 6,531m, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveying and geological mapping. Two targets were explored during this period; a
northern porphyry copper-gold target and a southern epithermal gold target. The majority of the drilling was completed at the southern
epithermal target.

Genesis Minerals Limited and controlled entities

Review of Operations continued

Wide-spaced drilling at the southern epithermal target returned results (GMD ASX Release April 6 2011) including:

 Hole PC13 - 266m @ 1.21g/t gold including:

o

22m @ 3.01g/t gold, 5.4g/t silver, 0.3% zinc; and
61m @ 3.04g/t gold containing 4m @ 10.84g/t gold and 7.9g/t silver, and 8m @ 10.91g/t gold and 24g/t silver.

 Hole PC 09 - 6m @ 7.4g/t gold, 7.0g/t silver, 0.5% zinc

A recent mapping program and re-interpretation by Teck identified a strong north to north northeast control on gold mineralisation
associated with jarosite-pyrolusite faults and/or phreatomagmatic breccia bodies. This north to north northeast orientation has had very
limited testing and will be subject to testing by east-west orientated drilling in a forthcoming drilling program. An initial area of 800m x
400m will be targeted. This area occurs within a much larger target area under scree cover.

Figure 8. Southern Epithermal Target – Schematic Cross Section.

Los Opeñas
Teck completed geochemical sampling, first pass mapping and rock chip sampling (897 samples) at Los Opeñas between 2005 and 2009.
An extensive epithermal vein system was identified from this work. Rock samples at surface returned values as high as 49g/t gold and
183g/t gold, and up to 6,789g/t silver. Channel sampling of mapped breccia bodies have returned results including 20m @ 4.69g/t gold
associated with strongly anomalous zinc, lead and silver.

Review of Operations continued

Analysis of the alteration, structural setting and geochemistry of the Poncha and Los Opeñas Projects, together with their spatial
association with diatreme breccias, highlight the possibility for “intermediate sulphidation” epithermal gold systems. They appear similar
to gold-rich systems of the south west Pacific (e.g. Kelian, Indonesia, 8Moz gold, Acupan (Baguio district), Philippines 6Moz gold), and
to those being developed in northern South America (e.g., Fruta del Norte, Ecuador, 10Moz gold) and in Mexico (e.g. Penasquito 40Moz
gold (eq)). The target types for both Projects are multimillion ounce bulk mineable and high grade vein/structural targets.

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on
information compiled by Michael Fowler, Genesis Minerals Limited’s Managing Director, who is a Member of The
Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Michael Fowler has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of

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 Group 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 Group raised a total of $2,091,881 through the issue of 14,162,627 ordinary shares to institutional and sophisticated investors in two
separate placements in September 2010 and March 2011. The Group also raised $1,163,917 through the issue of 23,278,340 ordinary
shares from an entitlements issue in October 2010. Funds raised are being used to actively pursue the Group’s exploration projects.

AFTER BALANCE DATE EVENTS
No matters or circumstances, besides those disclosed at Note 19, 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.

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 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.

REMUNERATION REPORT
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of 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 Group’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 Group.
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Group 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 Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information
from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract 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 Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder
interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

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

Group 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 Group plans to facilitate this process by directors and executives participating in future option
issues to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Group 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 13 of the financial statements.

Details of remuneration
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 11 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.

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
$2,497,617 for the year ended 30 June 2011 (2010: $775,286). Included within this loss was the write off of exploration expenditure of
$1,475,095 (2010: $144,284).
The net working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2011 was $1,453,537 (2010: $156,455) and the net increase in cash held during
the year was $1,338,146 (2010: $66,483 decrease).
The ability of the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Group 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 contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if additional required funding is unavailable.
Refer to note 1(a) for further details.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 17.

This Report of the Directors, incorporating the Remuneration Report, is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

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 shareholding qualification.
As and if the company's activities increase in size, nature and scope the size of the Board will be reviewed periodically, and as
circumstances demand. The optimum number of directors required to supervise adequately the company's constitution will be determined
within the limitations imposed by the constitution.
The membership of the Board, its activities and composition, is subject to periodic review. The criteria for determining the identification
and appointment of a suitable candidate for the Board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement,
compatibility with other Board members, credibility within the company's scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to Board's
duties and physical ability to undertake Board's duties and responsibilities.
Directors are initially appointed by the full Board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the company's
constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is
subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her last appointment. Subject to the
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the Board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum
period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, subject
to the terms of any agreement entered into, may revoke any appointment.
The Board 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.

Given the Group’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 Group’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 Group it is
not considered that a separate Nomination Committee would add any
substance to this process.
Given the size and nature of the Group a formal process for
performance evaluation has not been developed.

30 JUNE 2011

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the Group consisting of Genesis
Minerals Limited and its subsidiaries (“the Group”). The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Genesis Minerals
Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by
the directors on 30 September 2011. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Genesis Minerals Limited Group comply 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
$2,497,617 for the year ended 30 June 2011 (2010: $775,286). Included within this loss was the write off of exploration expenditure of
$1,475,095 (2010: $144,284).
The net working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2011 was $1,453,537 (2010: $156,455) and the net increase in cash held during
the year was $1,338,146 (2010: $66,483).
The ability of the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent upon the Group 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; and
the Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate funding is unavailable.
Should the Group not be able to successfully raise capital if required, 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 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 2011 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.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date
that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are
also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the separate financial statements of Genesis Minerals Limited.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

1.
(ii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of
the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling
interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling
interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Genesis
Minerals Limited.
When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair
value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of
subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of
the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to
profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly controlled entity or associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a
proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where
appropriate.

(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The
chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has
been identified as the full Board of Directors.

(d) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars, which is 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 profit or loss, 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
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:





assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement
of financial position;

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

all resulting exchange differences are recognised other comprehensive income.


On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other
financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign
operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is
reclassified to profit or loss, 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.

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.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting
period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associated operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It
establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it
arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted
or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the
deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments
in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable
that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when
the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a
legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

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

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

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

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

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

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if
acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated
as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified
as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

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

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

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

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

Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or
losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in the
statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from
continuing operations when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

1.
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 statement of comprehensive
income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale
are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.
If there is evidence of impairment for any of the 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
statement of comprehensive income.

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

(m) Exploration and evaluation costs
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as 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.

(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 22.
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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

1.
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 owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for
bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income
tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of
shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(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 statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are
recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(s) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. The
Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial
instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The Group has not yet determined any
potential impact on the financial statements.
The key changes made to accounting requirements include:






simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;
simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;
removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;
removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;
allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not
held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be
recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;
requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially classified based
on: (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual
cash flows; and
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to
changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If
such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of
changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

AASB 1053: Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010–2: Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 101, 102, 107, 108, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 119, 121,

(applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013)
AASB 1053 establishes a revised differential financial reporting framework consisting of two tiers of financial reporting requirements for
those entities preparing general purpose financial statements:
 Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
 Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
Tier 2 of the framework comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1, but contains significantly
fewer disclosure requirements.
The following entities are required to apply Tier 1 reporting requirements (ie full IFRS):


Since the Group is a for-profit private sector entity that has public accountability, it does not qualify for the reduced disclosure
requirements for Tier 2 entities.
AASB 2010–2 makes amendments to Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations to give effect to the reduced disclosure
requirements for Tier 2 entities. It achieves this by specifying the disclosure paragraphs that a Tier 2 entity need not comply with as well
as adding specific “RDR” disclosures.

for-profit private sector entities that have public accountability; and
the Australian Government and state, territory and local governments.

AASB 2009–12: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASBs 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 139, 1023 & 1031 and
Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 & 1052] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011)
This Standard makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including
amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. The Standard also amends AASB 8 to require entities to exercise
judgment in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single
customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. The amendments are not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2010–4: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project [AASB 1, AASB
7, AASB 101 & AASB 134 and Interpretation 13] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011)
This Standard details numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to Accounting Standards arising from the IASB’s annual
improvements project. Key changes include:



clarifying the application of AASB 108 prior to an entity’s first Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements;
adding an explicit statement to AASB 7 that qualitative disclosures should be made in the context of the quantitative disclosures to
better enable users to evaluate an entity’s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments;
amending AASB 101 to the effect that disaggregation of changes in each component of equity arising from transactions recognised in
other comprehensive income is required to be presented, but is permitted to be presented in the statement of changes in equity or in
the notes;
adding a number of examples to the list of events or transactions that require disclosure under AASB 134; and




 making sundry editorial amendments to various Standards and Interpretations.

This Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including
amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. However, these editorial amendments have no major impact on
the requirements of the respective amended pronouncements.

AASB 2010–6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets [AASB 1 & AASB 7]
(applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)
This Standard adds and amends disclosure requirements about transfers of financial assets, especially those in respect of the nature of the
financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. Accordingly, this Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time
Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, and AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishing additional disclosure
requirements in relation to transfers of financial assets.
This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102,
108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applies to periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard makes amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a consequence of the issuance of
AASB 9: Financial Instruments in December 2010. Accordingly, these amendments will only apply when the entity adopts AASB 9.
As noted above, the Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements from adopting AASB 9.

AASB 2010–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (applies to
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes.
The amendments brought in by this Standard introduce a more practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax
assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model under AASB 140: Investment Property.
Under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to
recover an asset by using it or by selling it. The amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely
through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume
substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.
The amendments brought in by this Standard also incorporate Interpretation 121 into AASB 112.
The amendments are not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2010–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time
Adopters [AASB 1] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards.
The amendments brought in by this Standard provide relief for first-time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards from having to
reconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards.
Furthermore, the amendments brought in by this Standard also provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either
to resume presenting Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements or to present Australian-Accounting-Standards financial
statements for the first time.
This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2010–10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB
2009–11 & AASB 2010–7] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 2009–11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, and
AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010).
The amendments brought in by this Standard ultimately affect AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards and
provide relief for first-time adopters from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their transition date.
[The amendments to AASB 2009–11 will only affect early adopters of AASB 2009–11 (and AASB 9: Financial Instruments that was
issued in December 2009) as it has been superseded by AASB 2010–7.]
This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

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

Exploration expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as they are incurred.

Share based payments
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the
date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using
the assumptions detailed in note 22. If any of these assumptions were to change, there may be an impact on the amounts reported.

2.

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 operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with
respect to the Chilean Peso (“CLP”). 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 exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other payables
Net CLP exposure

Net AUD exposure

2011
CLP

45,254,518
400,026

CLP

2,534,184
4,262,057
(3,868,653)
2,927,588

6,479

Sensitivity analysis
Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2011, 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 post-tax losses for the year (2010: Nil) and
immaterial movements to the Group’s equity for both years presented.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)

2.
(ii) Price risk
Given the current level of operations, the Group is not exposed to price risk.

(iii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to monitor the interest
rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The
entire balance of cash and cash equivalents for the Group $1,556,883 (2010: $219,252) is subject to interest rate risk. The proportional
mix of floating interest rates and fixed rates to a maximum of six months fluctuate during the year depending on current working capital
requirements. The weighted average interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 4.6% (2010: 3.3%).

Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 80 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables
held constant, post-tax loss for the Group would have been $6,750 lower/higher (2010: $2,500 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher
interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

(b) Credit risk
The Group does not 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 statement of financial position 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.
Credit risk related to balances with banks by ensuring surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s rating
of at least AA-, with material cash balances retained in AUD or USD.

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

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

3.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief
operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic
characteristics. For management purposes, the Group has identified only one reportable segment as exploration activities undertaken in
Chile. This segment includes activities associated with the determination and assessment of the existence of commercial economic
reserves, from the Group’s mineral assets in this geographic location.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments
are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the
Group.

SEGMENT INFORMATION (cont’d)

3.
Inter-segment transactions
An internally determined transfer price is set for all inter-entity sales. This price is re-set quarterly and is based on what would be
realised in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm’s-length. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation for the
Group’s financial statements.
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received net of transaction costs. If inter-segment
loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy
represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from
the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not
been allocated to operating segments.

Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment.
Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include
trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

Unallocated items

The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of
the core operations of the segment:


Head office and other administration costs.

Chile exploration segment

Segment revenue

Reconciliation of segment revenue to total revenue before tax:

(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 objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the
primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working
capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is
to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital
raisings as required. The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 is as follows:

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

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.

22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Employees and contractors options
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) and contractors of the Group in the form of share-based payment
transactions, whereby options to acquire ordinary shares are issued as an incentive to improve employee and shareholder goal
congruence. The exercise price of the options granted ranges from 15 to 31 cents with expiry dates ranging from 28 February 2013 to 30
November 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:

Outstanding at the beginning of the year

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 2.12 years (2010: 2.78),
with exercise prices ranging from 15 to 31 cents.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was 7.6 cents (2010: 21.7). The price was calculated by using the
Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model applying the following inputs:

2011

2010

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.
