Chairman’s Report 

Dear Fellow Shareholder 

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2015. 

Genesis has continued to shift the focus of its exploration activities from South America back to Australia whilst maintaining 
a  presence  in  South  America.    Our  focus  has  been  on  the  Australian  gold  sector where there has been a significant 
strengthening in the A$ gold price since the start of 2015.   

During the year Genesis agreed to acquire the Ulysses Gold Project located south of Leonora in the highly prospective 
Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.  The Ulysses Project contains a significant gold resource that we believe has the 
potential for high-grade open pit development with toll treatment of the ore and low capital start-up costs.  The Company 
believes that Ulysses can be brought into production within a 9 to 18 month timeframe with the project situated on a granted 
Mining Lease with no obvious impediments to mining.  The Project is close to mining infrastructure which will allow toll 
treatment of ore from Ulysses.  A Mining Study has recently commenced at Ulysses. 

The acquisition of Ulysses builds on the Company’s strategy to cheaply acquire low-risk gold projects with strong potential 
for shallow, high-grade resources capable of rapid and cheap development.  This fits very well with the Viking Project where 
exploration during the year has identified shallow, high-grade mineralisation at the Beaker Prospect.   

Genesis continues to review both advanced and early stage gold and copper projects in both Australia and South America 
focussing on near term cash generating opportunities. 

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. 

Richard Hill 
Chairman

Review of Operations 

During the year Genesis Minerals Limited (“Genesis”) has continued to shift the focus of its activities from South America 
back to Western Australia whilst maintaining a presence in South America.  Genesis commenced exploration of the Viking 
Gold Project (“Viking” or “the Viking Project”) in the second half of 2014 and also announced the acquisition of the Ulysses 
Gold Project (“Ulysses” or “the Ulysses Project”) located in Western Australia in June 2015. 

Ulysses Gold  Project 

There is excellent potential at the Ulysses Project to develop a significant mine life based on the existing resource and the 
estimated extensions at depth and along strike of the known resource and the adjacent exploration targets on the Ulysses 
mining lease.  Ulysses contains a shallow JORC compliant resource of 138,000 ounces of gold (see GMD ASX Release 
dated June 9, 2015) with numerous, shallow high-grade drill intersections within the resource including: 

  13m @ 6.0g/t gold 
  9m @ 6.7g/t gold 
  9.1m @ 7.6 g/t gold 
  11m @ 5.1 g/t gold 
  8m @ 6.1 g/t gold 
  21m @ 2.0g/t gold 
  11.4m @ 3.7 g/t gold 
  12m @ 3.3 g/t gold 

It is anticipated the mining study and negotiation over the toll treatment of ore from Ulysses will be completed by the end of 
2016.    Permitting  to  allow  the  commencement  of mining activities will be ongoing during the coming months and it is 
expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2016.  There is a significant amount of technical data available to Genesis to 
assist in the evaluation of the Ulysses Project. 

Ulysses is centred about 30km south of Leonora and 200km 
north  of  Kalgoorlie  in  Western  Australia  (Figure  1).    The 
Project comprises a granted mining lease and two granted 
exploration licences  

Genesis announced the acquisition of Ulysses from a private 
group  Ulysses  Mining  Pty  Ltd  in  June  2015.    The  mining 
lease (M40/166) was the subject of a joint venture until early 
2015 between St Barbara Ltd (60%) and Dalrymple/Norilsk 
(40%). 

Ulysses is located in the minerals rich and highly prospective 
Eastern  Goldfields of Western Australia. It is located 30km 
south of the Sons of Gwalia (6Moz of Production and 1.8Moz 
Reserve) mine and along strike of Orient Well and Kookynie 
mine camps (Figure 3) which have produced over 0.7Moz.  It 
is close to world leading mining infrastructure which will allow 
toll treatment of ore from Ulysses.  

The Ulysses Deposit was mined by Sons of Gwalia in 2002 
producing  266,358  t  @  2.92  g/t  Au  for  24,985  Oz Au.  Ore 
was  treated  at  the  Gwalia  Treatment  plant.    St  Barbara 
Limited  acquired  the  project  in  April  2004  as  part  of  the 
purchase of the Sons of Gwalia Gold Division.  

No exploration has been completed on M40/166 since mining 
was completed in 2002.  Exploration on the two exploration 
licences  has  been  restricted  to  surface  geochemical 
sampling  and  first  pass,  wide  spaced  drill  testing.    No 
significant  exploration  has  occurred  on  the  exploration 
licences since 2004 and numerous high priority exploration 
targets remain at the Project.

Viking Project 

During  the  year  Genesis  completed  two  RC  drilling 
programs targeting the Beaker 4 and Beaker 2 anomalies 
with  significant  results  returned  from  both  of  these 
prospects.   

This drilling confirmed the potential to host near surface 
resources capable of being toll treated or potentially in a 
standalone scenario. 

The  Viking  Project  comprises  5  granted  exploration 
licences  that  cover  some  500km 2  and  is  located 
approximately 600km east of Perth and 30km south east 
of the town of Norseman (see adjacent Figure) in Western 
Australia.    Access to the project area from Kalgoorlie is 
via  the  sealed  Celebration  and  Kambalda  roads to the 
Coolgardie–Esperance  Highway  to  Norseman  then 
various  4WD  tracks  within  the  Project.   Access into the 
Viking  Project  is  east  along  the  old  Telegraph  Track, 
18km south of Norseman via the Coolgardie–Esperance 
Highway.  

The Viking Project offers Genesis the unique opportunity 
to define shallow, high-grade gold resources capable of 
being  rapidly  advanced  towards  development  in  a new 
geological terrane.  Genesis has taken advantage of the 
high-quality  +$5  million  dataset  and  near  surface  drill 
targets  that  had  been  rapidly  generated  by  AngloGold 
Ashanti between 2010 and 2013.

Review of Operations (continued) 

Viking is close to existing under-utilised gold mills and mining infrastructure and Genesis is focussed on defining shallow 
gold resources capable of being rapidly and cheaply advanced towards development. 

Genesis purchased Viking from AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited during the March 2014 Quarter.  The Viking Project 
comprises a significant landholding in the Proterozoic Albany-Fraser Orogen (“AFO”) and adjoining eastern margin of the 
Archaean Yilgarn Craton in what is considered an emerging mineral province that has delivered the Tropicana gold and 
Nova-Bollinger nickel discoveries. 

AngloGold  Ashanti completed regional and infill auger sampling between 2010 and 2012 at Viking.  The extensive and 
coherent Beaker Prospect was identified from this geochemical survey (see Figure 6).  Beaker comprises four zones of 
anomalous gold (+20 ppb gold) in soil (peak 356.5 ppb gold) nested within a broad 7km by 6km anomaly (Beaker 1 through 
4).  Mineralised trends at Beaker are interpreted to be orientated north to north west similar to the Kalgoorlie Greenstone 
Terrane and north east parallel to the Albany Fraser Orogeny. Wide spaced aircore and diamond drilling by AngloGold in 
2012 returned a number of highly anomalous intersections 

A number of auger defined geochemical anomalies remain to be drill tested at Viking. 

Figure 6 Prospect Locations 

RC drilling by Genesis at the aircore defined Beaker 2 gold geochemical anomaly (Figure 8) has identified a significant wide 
zone of near surface oxide mineralisation.  Drilling in the 2nd half of 2015 will focus on this 1.5km long oxide gold zone with 
drilling centred on the +100m wide sub horizontal blanket of oxide mineralisation (Figure 7) (see GMD ASX Release dated 
Feb ruary 9, 2015 and April 8, 2015).  Future drilling over the 1.5km strike length will include shallow extensional and infill 
drilling  to  identify  the  limits  of  the  oxide  mineralisation  as  well  as  deeper  drilling  to  identify  the  source  of  primary 
mineralisation.    A  resource  estimate  is  targeted  for  completion  soon  after receipt of future drilling results (if drilling is  
successful).

Review of Operations (continued) 

Shallow RC drilling by Genesis in 2014 targeted the western mineralised trend at Beaker 4 prospect.  High-grade gold 
intersected  from  this  drilling  included  7m  @ 4.02g/t gold from 31m and 6m @ 6.04g/t gold from 73m (includes 3m @ 
11.35g/t Au).  Gold mineralisation is hosted by sheared pyrite-bearing quartz veins within moderately east dipping shear 
zones.  Mafic enclaves within the granitoids are thought to provide a rheological contrast within the competent host allowing 
gold mineralisation to develop.  Visible gold has also been observed in drill core within these mineralised intervals.  Three 
open ended mineralised trends (+2km) remain to be targeted by follow up RC and aircore.

Review of Operations (continued) 

Las Opeñas 

Genesis  has  continued  discussions  with  third  parties  regarding 
funding opportunities for further exploration at Las Opeñas as well 
as potential joint venture and divestment opportunities. 

Alliance Projects 

Genesis  has  delayed  exploration  at  the  Alliance  Projects  in  San 
Juan.  Exploration programs have been developed which will focus 
on  the  Espota  high  grade  vein  system,  the  Fierro  Project  and  a 
geophysical survey and surface sampling program at the Castaños 
Project.   

Background 

Genesis has the opportunity to explore a number of early stage but 
highly prospective gold projects in Argentina held by Teck Argentina 
Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teck, being the Castaños, Espota, 
Fierro and Fortuna Projects (Figure 11) in San Juan, Argentina (the 
"Alliance  Projects").    Under  this  arrangement  (see  GMD  ASX 
Announcements March 21, 2014 and April 29, 2014), Genesis will 
have  an  option  to  earn  up  to  a  100%  interest  in  the  Alliance 
Projects.    Genesis  intends  to  leverage  off  Teck’s  geological 
knowledge of the San Juan pre-cordillera and rapidly complete initial 
low-cost, exploration programs over the Alliance Projects.

OPERATING  AND  FINANCIAL  REVIEW 

Finance Review 
The  Group  has  recorded  an  operating  loss  after  income  tax  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2015  of  $1,527,678  (2014: 
$1,757,105). 
At  30 June 2015 cash assets available totalled $110,830 (2014: $1,239,869). 

The net assets of the consolidated entity decreased from $755,540 in 2014 to ($228,577) at June 30 2015. This decrease is 
largely due to the following factors: 

• 
• 

exploration of the Group’s projects; 

normal operational overheads incurred in running a listed entity with an overseas subsidiary for 12 months.

Directors' Report continued  

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 $561,000  through the issue of 70,000,000 ordinary shares to institutional and sophisticated during the 
year. Directors, after shareholder approval, received 8,750,000 shares in lieu of $70,000 in accrued salary and directors 
fees. Exploration expenses of $50,000 were paid for via the issue of 6,250,000 ordinary shares. 

AFTER  BALANCE  DATE  EV ENTS 
On 23 July 2015 the Company had firm commitments to raise $700,000 from sophisticated and professional investors to 
fund further drilling at the Ulysses Project, of which $405,000 has been placed and received in cash as at the reporting date. 
Subsequent to year end, the Group paid the following amounts as part of the share sale agreement to acquire 100% of 
Ulysses Mining Limited: 

•  Share consideration of $100,000 in shares issued on 14 August 2015; and 
• 

Tranche 1 Consideration of $75,000 cash paid on 19 August 2015 

As at the reporting date, the final consideration of Tranche 2, being $200,000 in cash, has not been paid pending the 
finalisation of final due diligence on the acquisition. 

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

REMUNERATION  REPORT  (AUDITED) 

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

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% (unless otherwise stated), and do not receive any other retirement benefits. 

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group 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 
Group and are able to participate in the employee option plan. 

PERFORMANCE BASED REMUNERATION 

The Group 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 Executive's 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. 

USE OF REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS 

The Group did not employ the services of any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2015. 

VOTING AND COMMENT MADE ON THE GROUP'S 2014 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 

The Company received 100% of “yes” votes on its remuneration report for the 2014  financial year. The Company did not 
receive any specific feedback at the AGM  or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

Corporate Governance Statement 

In  fulfilling  its  obligations  and  responsibilities  to  its  various  stakeholders,  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Company 
advocates  the  adoption  of  and  adherence  to  a  framework  of  rules,  relationships,  systems  and  processes  within 
and  by  which  authority  is  exercised  and  controlled  within  the  corporation  –  this  is  what  is  meant  in  this  manual 
when  reference  is  made  to  corporate  governance.  This  manual  outlines  the  Company’s  principal  corporate 
governance  procedures.  The  Board  supports  a  system  of  corporate  governance  to  ensure  that  the  management 
of  the  Company  is  conducted  in  a  manner  which  is  directed  at  achieving  the  Company’s  objectives  in  a  proper 
and  ethical manner. 

Except  to  the  extent  indicated  herein,  the  Company  has  resolved  that  for  so  long  as  it  is  admitted  to  the  official 
lists of the ASX  it shall abide  by the ASX  Recommendations.   

Due  to  the  exigencies  and  vagaries  of  commercial  life  and  changing  circumstances,  there  will,  no  doubt,  be 
occasions  when,  especially  because  of  the  size  of  the  Company  and  the  composition  of  its  Board,  that  it  can  be 
expected  to  depart  from  the  policies  and  charters  which  it  has  adopted.  These  policies  have  been  adopted  on  the 
basis  that,  in  the  circumstances  of  the  Company,  they  reflect  what  is considered to reflect a reasonable aspiration. 
It  is  not  expected  that  these  guidelines  will  be  slavishly  adhered  to.  Their  object  is  to  focus  attention  upon  the 
issues  they  address  and  provoke  thought  about  and  awareness  of  those  issues  and  the  pitfalls  that  one  could 
otherwise  fall  into  inadvertently.  The  important  thing  is  to  develop  a  culture  conducive  only  to  good  and 
appropriate  conduct  and  practices.  

Honesty  and  integrity  must  be  the  overriding  and  guiding  principle  in  all  things-  substance  must  prevail  over  form 
and  lip service.  Adhering  to the following  policies  is a condition of  each  contract of  employment  or  service.   

The  Board  encourages  all  key  management  personnel,  other  employees,  contractors  and  other  stakeholders  to 
monitor  compliance  with  this  Corporate  Governance  manual  and  periodically,  by  liaising  with  the  Board, 
management  and  staff;  especially  in  relation  to  observable  departures  from  the  intent  of  hereof  and  with  and  any 
ideas  or suggestions  for  improvement.

Corporate Governance Statement 

PRINCIPLE  1 – LAY  SOLID  FOUNDATIONS  FOR  MANAGEMENT  AND OVERSIGHT 

1.1 

A listed entity should disclose: 

(a) 

(b) 

the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management; and 

those matters expressly reserved to the board and those delegated to 
management. 

1.2 

A listed entity should: 

(a)  undertake appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward 

to security holders a candidate for election, as a director; and 

(b)  provide security holders with all material information in its possession relevant 

to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

Information about the respective roles and responsibilities of our Board and 
management (including those matters expressly reserved to the Board and 
those delegated to management) is found under the Board Charter. 

The  appointment  of  directors  is  undertaken  under  the  purveyance  of  the 
Nomination committee. 

The  function  of  the  Nomination  Committee  is  to  identify  and  recommend 
candidates to fill vacancies and to determine the appropriateness of director 
nominees for election to the Board as well as undertake appropriate checks 
before appointing a person to the Board. The Board recognises the benefits 
arising from diversity and aims to promote an environment conducive to the 
appointment  of  well  qualified Board candidates so that there is appropriate 
diversity to maximise the achievement of corporate goals. 
As required under the ASX  Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, election or 
re-election of directors is a resolution put to members at each Annual General 
Meeting. The notice of meeting contains all material information relevant to a 
decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

1.3 

1.4 

A listed entity should have a written agreement with each director and senior 
executive setting out the terms of their appointment. 

Letters of appointment for each director and senior executive have been 
entered into by the Company. 

The company secretary of a listed entity should be accountable directly to the 
board, through the chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the 
board. 

The company secretary reports directly to the Board through the Chairman and 
is accessible to all directors. The function performed by the company secretary 
is  noted in the letter of appointment of the company secretary 

1.5 

A listed entity should: 

(a)  have a diversity policy which includes requirements for the board or a relevant 
committee of the board to set measurable objectives for achieving gender 
diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress 
in achieving them; 

(b)  disclose that policy or a summary of it; and 

(c) 

disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for 
achieving gender diversity set by  the board or a relevant committee of the 
board in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards 
achieving them and either: 

(1) the respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior 

executive positions and across the whole organisation (including how the 
entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or 

(2) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality 
Act,  the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in 
and published under that Act. 

The Company has a Diversity policy which can be found on its website under 
the Corporate Governance section. The Company’s Diversity policy does not 
include requirements for the board to set measurable objectives for achieving 
gender diversity and given the size and nature of the Company at this stage, 
the Board considers this course of action reasonable.  

The Company recognises that a diverse and talented workforce is a 
competitive advantage and that the Company’s success is the result of the 
quality and skills of our people. Our policy is to recruit and manage on the 
basis of qualification for the position and performance, regardless of gender, 
age, nationality, race, religious beliefs, cultural background, sexuality or 
physical ability. It is essential that the Company employs the appropriate 
person for each job and that each person strives for a high level of 
performance. 
The Company has not set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity 
during the reporting period of 2014 – 2015. 

There are no women on the Board.

1.6 

A listed entity should: 

Process for Evaluating Board Performance is detailed in the Board Charter. 

Information on Performance Evaluations is included in the remuneration report 
section of the Annual Report. 

A performance assessment for the Managing Director took place during the 
year in accordance with the Company’s agreed policy. Briefly, this involved the 
review of the performance against agreed KPI’s and feedback was received 
from the Board where appropriate.  

The Board does not have a Nomination Committee. 

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. 

(a)  have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the 

board, its committees and individual directors; and 

(b)  disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance 

evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that 
process. 

1.7 

A listed entity should: 

(a)  have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of its 

senior executives; and 

(b)  disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance 

evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that 
process. 

PRINCIPLE  2 - STRUCTURE  THE  BOARD  TO ADD  VALUE 
2.1 

The board of a listed entity should: 

(a)  have a nomination committee which: 

(1) has at least three members, a majority of whom are independent directors; 

and 

(2) is chaired by an independent director, 
and disclose: 

(3) the charter of the committee; 

(4) the members of the committee; and 

(5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee 
met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members 
at those meetings; or 

(b) 

if it does not have a nomination committee, disclose that fact and the 
processes it employs to address board succession issues and to ensure that 
the board has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, experience, 
independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its duties and 
responsibilities effectively. 

23 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Corporate Governance Statement 

2.2 

A listed entity should have and disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of 
skills and diversity that the board currently has or is looking to achieve in its 
membership. 

The Board has identified that the appropriate mix of skills and diversity required 
of its members on the Board to operate effectively and efficiently is achieved 
by  directors  having  substantial  skills  and  experience  in  operational 
management, exploration and geology, corporate law, finance, listed resource 
companies, equity markets.  

The Board Skills matrix for the current Board is as follows:

2.3 

A listed entity should disclose: 
(a) 

the names of the directors considered by the board to be independent 
directors; 

(b) 

if a director has an interest, position, association or relationship of the type 
described in Box 2.3 but the board is of the opinion that it does not 
compromise the independence of the director, the nature of the interest, 
position, association or relationship in question and an explanation of why the 
board is of that opinion; and 

(c) 

the length of service of each director. 

The  Company  considers  that  Richard  Hill  and  Damian  Delaney  are 
independent directors. 

Although  Damian  Delaney  provides  services,  as  Company  Secretary,  the 
board considers that this does not interfere, or might reasonably be seen to 
interfere,  with  his  capacity  to  bring  an  independent  judgement  to  bear  on 
issues  before  the  board and to act in the best interests of the entity and its 
security holders generally. 

Richard Hill has been a director since 13 February 2013 

Michael Fowler has been a director since 16 April 2007. 

Damian Delaney has been a director since 21 March 2012. 

2.4 

2.5 

2.6 

A majority of the board of a listed entity should be independent directors. 

The majority of the board are independent directors. 

The chair of the board of a listed entity should be an independent director and, in 
particular, should not be the same person as the CEO of the entity. 

A listed entity should have a program for inducting new directors and provide 
appropriate professional development opportunities for directors to develop and 
maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors 
effectively. 

Richard Hill is the Chairman and is an independent director. The Board 
believes the Chairman is the most suitable director to undertake this role. 
Michael Fowler is the CEO. 

The Company will provide induction material for any new directors and, 
depending on specific requirements, will provide appropriate professional 
development opportunities for directors.

PRINCIPLE  3 – ACT  ETHICALLY  AND RESPONSIBLY 

3.1 

A listed entity should:

(4) the members of the committee; and 
(5) as at the end of each reporting period, the number of times the committee 
met throughout the period and the individual attendances of the members 
at those meetings; or 

(b) 

if it does not have a risk committee or committees that satisfy (a) above, 
disclose that fact and the processes it employs for overseeing the entity’s risk 
management framework. 

7.2 

The board or a committee of the board should: 

(a) 

review the entity’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy 
itself that it continues to be sound; and 

(b)  disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken 

place. 

7.3 

A listed entity should disclose: 

(a) 

(b) 

if it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role 
it performs; or

Risk management is specifically discussed at the Company’s board meetings 
during the year. 

The Company reviews its risk management framework annually and this 
information is disclosed in the Annual Report. 

The Company currently does not have any staff with bookkeeping and 
accounting skills so these tasks are undertaken by external consultants.  The 
external consultant discusses with its external auditor each end of year and 
half year whether there are any issues with internal control and improvements 
which could be undertaken to improve them. 

The Company is subject to, and responsible for, existing environmental 
liabilities associated with its tenements. The Company will continually monitor 
its ongoing environmental obligations and risks, and implement rehabilitation 
and corrective actions as appropriate to remain compliant. These risks may be 
impacted by change in Government policy.  

The Company does not believe it has any significant exposure to economic 
and social sustainability risks.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

1.    SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the 
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 2014. The directors have the power 
to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

(a) Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Genesis Minerals 
Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

(i) Compliance with IFRS 

The consolidated financial statements of the Genesis Minerals Limited Group also comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

(ii) New and amended standards adopted b y the Group 
None  of  the  new  standards  and  amendments  to  standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year 
beginning 1 July 2014 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to 
affect future periods. 

(iii) Early adoption of standards 

The  Group  has  not  elected  to  apply  any  pronouncements  before  their  operative  date  in  the  annual  reporting  period 
beginning 1 July 2014. 

(iv) Historical cost convention 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as  modified by the revaluation of 
available-for-sale financial assets, which have been measured at fair value. 

(v) 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  $1,527,678  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2015  (2014:  $1,757,105).  Included within this loss was 
exploration expenditure of $1,036,705 (2014: $995,148). 

The net working capital deficit position of the Group at 30 June 2015 was $216,557 (2014: $779,271 surplus).The Group 
has expenditure commitments relating to work programme obligations of their assets of $480,000 which could potentially 
fall due in the twelve months to 30 June 2016. 

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue 
as a going concern. 

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 
which has been evident by the Group raising $405,000 subsequent to year end as disclosed in Note 18; and 

the  Directors have an appropriate plan to contain certain operating and exploration expenditure if appropriate 
funding is unavailable. 

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Group will have sufficient cash flows to meet all 
commitments, creditor arrangements and working capital requirements for the 12 month period from the date of signing 
this financial report.  Included in this cash flow forecast are capital raisings of $300,000 in both October and November 
2015, of which the Group has received $300,000 of firm commitments. 

Based on the cash flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern 
basis of preparation is appropriate. In particular, given the Group’s history of raising capital to date, and the interest in the 
anticipated acquisition of the Ulysses Gold Project, the directors are confident of the Group’s ability to raise additional 
funds as and when they are required. 

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, and 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued 
30 JUNE 2015 

1.  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (continued) 

(b) Principles of consolidation 
The financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Genesis Minerals Limited at 
the  end  of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Genesis Minerals Limited has the power to 
govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Control will generally exist when the 
parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the 
power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered. 
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 15 to the financial statements. 

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the financial statements 
as well as their results for the year then ended. 

In  preparing the financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in Genesis Minerals 
Limited have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to 
ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity. 

(c) Business Combinations 
Business  combinations  occur  where  an  acquirer  obtains  control  over  one  or  more  businesses  and  results  in  the 
consolidation of its assets and liabilities. 
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or 
businesses  under  common  control.  The acquisition method requires that for each business combination, one of the 
combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity).  The business combination will be accounted for as 
at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, the 
parent  shall  recognise,  in  the  consolidated  accounts  and  subject  to  certain  limited  exceptions,  the  fair  value  of  the 
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised 
where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured. 

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for  the  
measurement  of  goodwill  will  impact  on  the  measurement  of  any  non-controlling  interest  to  be recognised in the 
acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree. 

The consideration transferred for a business combination shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial 
statements.  Such  consideration  is  measured  at  fair  value  at  acquisition  date and consists of the sum of the assets 
transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interes ts 
issued by the acquirer. 

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration 
arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or equity 
instrument,  depending  upon  the  nature  of  the  arrangement.  Rights  to  refunds  of  consideration  previously  paid  are 
recognised  as  a  receivable.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not 
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset 
or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of comprehensive income, unless the 
change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. 

All  transaction  costs  incurred  in  relation  to  the  business  combination  are  expensed  to  Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income. 

(d) 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. 

(e) 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 b alances 
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the spot rate on the date of the transaction.

1.  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (continued) 

At  the end of the reporting period: 

• 

Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate; 

•  Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of 

the transaction; and 

•  Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are translated using the rate at the date when fair value 

was determined. 

Exchange differences arising on the  settlement of  monetary  items  or  on  translating  monetary  items  at  rates different 
from  those  at  which  they  were  translated on  initial  recognition or  in  prior  reporting  periods are recognised  through 
profit  or  loss,  except  where  they  relate  to  an  item  of  other  comprehensive  income  or  whether they are deferred in 
equity as qualifying hedges. 

The  financial results and position of  foreign operations whose functional currency  is different  from  Genesis Minerals 
Limited's presentation currency are translated as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; 

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for  the period where the average rate 
approximates the rate at the date of the transaction; and 

retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. 

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly  to  Genesis Minerals Limited's 
foreign  currency  translation  reserve  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position.  These  differences  are 
recognised in the consolidated  statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in  the period in which the 
operation is disposed. 

(f) Revenue  and other income 
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is  recognised. 

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial 
assets. 

(g) Income tax 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. 

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. 

Deferred  income tax  assets are  recognised to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable that  future  tax  profits  will  be available 
against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 

Current assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement 
or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes 
levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is  intended that 
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in 
which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

1.  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (continued) 

CASH  AND CASH  EQUIVALENTS 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments 
with original maturities of three months or less which are convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant 
risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on 
the consolidated statement of financial position. 

FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS 

INITIAL  RECOGNITION  AND  MEASUREMENT 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes  a party to the contractual provisions to the 
instrument. For financial assets, this is the equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale 
of the asset. 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is  classified 'at 
fair  value  through  profit  or  loss'  in  which  case  transaction  costs  are  expensed  to  profit  or  loss  immediately. 

CLASSIFICATION  AND SUBSEQUENT  MEASUREMENT 

Financial  instruments  are  subsequently  measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between 
knowledgeable, willing parties in arm's length transaction. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to 
determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

The classification of financial instruments depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management  
determines  the  classification  of  its  investments  at  initial  recognition  and at the end of each reporting period for held-to-
maturity assets. 

Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months 
after the end of the reporting period.  

SHARE  CAPITAL 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly  attributable to the  issue of ordinary shares and 
share options for immediate are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 

PROPERTY,  PLANT  AND  EQUIPMENT 

Each class of property,  plant and equipment is carried at cost or  fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

PLANT  AND EQUIPMENT 

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the asset. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount from these assets. The  recoverable amount is assessed on the  basis of the expected  net cash 
flows that  will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have 
been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 

DEPRECIATION 

The  depreciable  amount  of  all  fixed  assets  including  buildings  and  capitalised  leased  assets,  but  excluding 
freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the Group commencing from  the time 
the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the  unexpired period 
of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Land is not depreciated. 

The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable assets are:

The assets' residual values, depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end 
of each reporting period. 

EXPLORATION  AND  DEVELOPMENT  EXPENDITURE 

Exploration, evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. 

TRADE  AND  OTHER  PAYABLES   

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the  end of the  reporting period for goods and services 
received by  the Group during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability 
with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. 

PROVISIONS   

Provisions are recognised when the Group has  a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is 
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the outflow required to settle the obligation 
at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the 
time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the unwinding of the discount 
is taken to finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Provisions  recognised  represent  the  best  estimate  of  the  amounts  required to settle the obligation at the end of the 
reporting period. 

EMPLOYEE  BENEFITS 

Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end 
of  the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to  be settled within one year  have  been measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. 

Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash 
outflows  to  be  made  for  those  benefits.  In  determining  the  liability,  consideration  is  given  to  employee  wage 
increases  and  the  probability  that  the  employee  may  satisfy  vesting  requirements.  Those  cashflows  are discounted 
using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected  timing of cashflows. 

EQUITY-SETTLED  COMPENSATION 

The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment share, right and option schemes. The fair value of the equity  to 
which personnel become entitled  is  measured  at  grant  date  and  recognised  as  an  expense over the  vesting period, 
with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the  market bid price. The 
fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting  conditions. 
The  amount to be expensed is determined by reference to  the fair  value of  the options, rights or  shares granted.  This 
expense takes in  account any  market performance conditions and the  impact of any non-vesting conditions but ignores 
the effect of any service and non-market performance vesting  conditions. 

Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account when considering the number of options expected to vest. At the end 
of  each reporting period, the Group revises  its  estimate  of  the number of  options or rights which are  expected to vest 
based on the non-market vesting conditions. Revisions to the prior period estimate are  recognised in profit or loss and 
equity. 

EARNINGS  PER  SHARE   

Genesis Minerals Limited presents basic and diluted earnings per share information for its ordinary shares. 

Basic earnings per  share is  calculated by  dividing the  profit  attributable to  owners of  the  company  by  the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

1.  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (continued) 

Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the  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 
additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive  potential ordinary 
shares. 

GOODS  AND SERVICES  TAX  (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is 
not  recoverable  from  the  Australian  Tax  Office.  In  these  circumstances  the  GST  is  recognised  as  part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of 
financial position are shown inclusive of GST. 

Cash flows are  presented in the  consolidated statement of  cash flows on  a  gross basis, except  for  the  GST 
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

CRITICAL  ACCOUNTING  ESTIMATES  AND  JUDGMENTS 

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are 
based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. 

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities 
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending 
on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. 

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie 
unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. 
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine 
fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. 
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation 
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. 

To  the  extent  possible,  market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the 
market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most 
advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts 
from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction 
costs and transport costs). 

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset 
in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. 

The  fair  value  of  liabilities  and  the  entity's  own  equity  instruments  (excluding  those  related to share-based payment 
arrangements)  may  be  valued,  where  there  is  no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial 
instruments,  by  reference  to  observable  market  information  where  such instruments are held as assets. Where this 
information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective 
note to the financial statements. 

Valuation techniques 

In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation 
techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in 
the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant 
data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques 
selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches: 

Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for 
identical or similar assets or liabilities.  

Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single 
discounted present value. 

Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity. 

Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the 
asset or liability, including assumptions about risks.

Genesis Minerals Limited and controlled entities 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued 
30 JUNE 2015 

1.  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (continued) 

When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable 
inputs  and  minimise  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs.  Inputs  that are developed using market data (such as publicly 
available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when 
pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore 
are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable. 

Fair value hierarchy 
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value 
measurements  into  one  of  three  possible  levels  based  on  the  lowest  level  that  an  input  that  is  significant  to  the 
measurement can be categorised into as follows: 

Level 1  
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can 
access at the measurement date.  

Level 2  
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 
either directly or indirectly 

Level 3 
Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation 
techniques.  These  valuation  techniques  maximise,  to  the  extent  possible,  the  use  of  observable  market  data.  If  all 
significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more 
significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. 

The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances: 

(i) if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or 

(ii) if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa. 

When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. 
transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred. 

KEY  ESTIMATES  - SHARE  BASED  PAYMENTS 

The  Group  measures  the  cost of equity-settled transactions with personnel 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  external  valuer  using  a  Black 
and Scholes model in the  case of  options and, in the  case of  performance rights, a hybrid share option  pricing  model 
that  simulates the  share price  as at  the  expiry  date  using a  Monte-Carlo  model.  The  valuation involves making key 
estimates such as volatility and expected exercise date. 

KEY  ESTIMATE  – TAXATION 

Balances disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the 
best estimates of 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. 

KEY  JUDGEMENT  – ENVIRONMENTAL  ISSUES 

Balances disclosed in the consolidated 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. 

KEY  JUDGEMENT  – COMPARATIVE  FIGURES 

When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation 
for the current financial year.

When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its 
consolidated  financial  statements,  a  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  the  beginning  of the earliest 
comparative period will be disclosed. 

ADOPTION  OF  NEW  AND REVISED  ACCOUNTING  STANDARDS 

Amendments to AASBs and the new Interpretation that are mandatorily effective for the current year

2. INCOME  TAX EXPENSE  (continued) 

At  30 June 2015 Genesis Minerals Limited had unused tax losses for which no deferred tax asset has been recognised 
in  the  amount  of  approximately  $4,166,642  (2014:  $2,931,746).  The  availability  of  these  losses  is  subject  to 
satisfying Australian taxation legislation requirements. The deferred tax asset attributable to tax losses has not been 
brought to  account in these financial statements because the Directors believe it is not presently appropriate to regard 
realisation  of the future income tax benefits probable.

requirements of the Group, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

ISSUED  CAPITAL  (continued) 

CAPITAL  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 2015 is ($216,557).  (2014: $779,271) 

8.  RESERVES  AND  ACCUMULATED  LOSSES 

Nature and purpose of reserves 
(i) Foreign currency translation reserve 
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entities are taken to the foreign currency translation 
reserve, as described in note 1(d). The reserve is recognised in profit and loss when the net investment is disposed of. 

(ii) Share-b ased payments reserve 

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of options issued.

11. FINANCIAL  RISK  MANAGEMENT 

The  Group's  overall  risk  management  programme  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to 
minimise potential adverse effects and ensure that net cash flows are sufficient to support the delivery of the  Company's 
financial  targets  whilst  protecting  future  financial  security.  The  Group  continually  monitors  and  tests  its  forecasted 
financial position against these objectives. 

The main risks Genesis Minerals Limited is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and 
market risk consisting of interest rate risk, currency risk and commodity price risk.

accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:

FINANCIAL  RISK  MANAGEMENT  POLICIES 
The  Board  of  Directors has overall  responsibility for  the  establishment of  Genesis Minerals Limited’s financial risk 
management framework. This includes the development of policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange 
risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and the use of derivatives. 

Mitigation strategies for specific risks faced are described below: 

The main risks Genesis Minerals Limited is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and 
market risk relating to interest rate risk, currency risk and commodity price risk. 

(A)  CREDIT  RISK 
Exposure to  credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of 
contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to Genesis Minerals Limited and arises principally from Genesis 
Minerals Limited's receivables. 

The  Group’s maximum exposure to  credit  risk  at  the  reporting date  in  relation  to  each class of  recognised financial 
assets  is  the  carrying  amount  of  those  assets  as  indicated  in  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Other  than  cash 
balances  and  term  deposits  held  at  bank  the  Group  does  not have any significant credit risk exposure  to any single 
counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. 

The Group's policy for reducing credit risk is to ensure cash is only invested with counterparties with Standards and 
Poor rating of at least -AA. 

(B)  LIQUIDITY  RISK 
Liquidity risk arises from the  possibility that  Genesis Minerals Limited might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or 
otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following 
mechanisms: 

• 

preparing  forward-looking  cash  flow  analysis  in  relation  to  its  operational,  investing  and  financial 
activities which are monitored on a monthly basis; 

•  monitoring  the  state  of  equity  markets  in  conjunction  with  the  Group's  current  and  future  funding 

requirements, with a view to appropriate capital raisings as required; 

•  managing credit risk related to financial assets; 

• 

• 

only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and 

comparing  the  maturity  profile  of  current  financial  liabilities  with  the  realisation  profile  of  current financial 
assets.

11. FINANCIAL  RISK  MANAGEMENT  (continued) 

(C)  MARKET  RISK 
Market  risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in 
market prices. 

i. Price risk 
Given the current level of operations, the Group is not exposed to price risk. 

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 recognises assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group'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.  At  2014,  the  Group's  Net 
CLP  exposure  was  $17,552,493  (2014:  ($5,979,348))  which  translated  to $21,124 (2014: $11,523) AUD. 

Had the AUD weakened/strengthened by 10% against the CLP, there would have been a nil (2014: nil) impact on the 
Group's post tax losses and an immaterial movement to the Group's equity for both years. 

iii. Interest rate risk 
Exposure  to  interest  rate  risk  arises  on  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  recognised  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting  period,  whereby  a  future  change  in  interest  rates  will  affect  future cash flows  or the fair value of fixed  rate 
financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. 

Interest rate  risk is managed by  maintaining cash in interest bearing accounts and having no interest bearing liabilities. 

ii.  Sensitivity analysis 
The  following sensitivity  analysis is based on  the  interest rate  risk exposures in  existence  at  the  end of  the reporting  
period. 

This analysis assumes that other variables are held constant.

(9,750) 

The net exposure at the end of the reporting period is representative of what Genesis Minerals Limited was and is 
expecting to be exposed to at the end of the next twelve months. 

(D)  FAIR  VALUE  ESTIMATION 
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the 
consolidated  statement of  financial position. Fair  values are  those amounts at  which an  asset could be exchanged, or 
a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. 

There are no financial assets or liabilities which are required to be revalued on a recurring basis. 

12. OPERATING  SEGMENTS 

Identification  of reportable segments 
For management purposes, the Group is organised into two main operating segments, the exploration of minerals in 
South America (Chile & Argentina) and the  corporate activities and administrative costs in Australia. The  accounting 
policies applied  for internal reporting purposes are consistent with those applied in the preparation of these financial 
statements.

Genesis Minerals Limited and controlled entities 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued 
30 JUNE 2015 

12. OPERATING  SEGMENTS  (continued) 

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. 

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 liab ilities 

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.

18.  EVENTS  AFTER  THE  BALANCE  SHEET  DATE 

On 23 July 2015 the Company had firm commitments to raise $700,000 from sophisticated and professional investors to 
fund further drilling at the Ulysses Project, of which $405,000 has been placed and received in cash as at the reporting date. 

Subsequent to year end, the Group paid the following amounts as part of the share sale agreement to acquire 100% of 
Ulysses Mining Limited: 

•  Share consideration of $100,000 in shares issued on 14 August 2015; and 
• 

Tranche 1 Consideration of $75,000 cash paid on 19 August 2015

Directors' Declaration 

In the directors’ opinion: 

(a) 

(b) 

(c) 

the financial statements and notes set out on pages 29 to 51 are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including: 
(i) 

complying with Accounting Standards, the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other mandatory professional 
reporting requirements; and 
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2015  and of its  performance for the 
financial year ended on that date; 

(ii) 

there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due

a statement that the attached financial statements are in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
has been included in the notes to the financial statements. 

The directors have been given the declarations by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by section 
295A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors. 

Michael Fowler 
Managing Director 

Perth, 30 September 2015

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Genesis  Minerals  Limited  (“the 

Company”)  and  Controlled  Entities  (“the  Consolidated  Entity”),  which  comprises  the 

statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, and the statement of profit or loss and 

other  comprehensive  income,  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  statement  of  cash 

flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting 

policies  and  other  explanatory  information,  and  the  directors’  declaration  of  the 

Consolidated Entity, comprising the  Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s 

end or from time to time during the financial year. 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report 

that gives a true and fair view  in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards  and 

the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  for  such  internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is 

necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 

and  is  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  Note  1,  the 

directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standards  AASB  101:  Presentation 

of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial 

Reporting Standards. 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit.  We 

conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  These Auditing 

Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit 

engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  whether 

the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and 

disclosures  in  the  financial  report.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s 

judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 

report,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.    In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor 

considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  of  the  financial  report  that 

gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the 

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 

the  entity’s  internal  control.    An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of 

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the 

directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to 

provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.  

In our opinion: 

a.  The  financial  report  of  Genesis  Minerals  Limited  is  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001, 

including: 

i. 

giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its 

performance for the year ended on that date; and 

ii. 

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001;  

b.  The  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  as  disclosed  in 

Note 1. 

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note  1a(v) in the financial report which indicates that the 

Consolidated  Entity  incurred  a  loss  after  tax  of  $1,527,678  during  the  year  ended  30  June  2015.    This 

condition, along with other matters as set forth in  note 1a(v), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty 

which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern and 

whether  it  will  realise  its  assets  and  extinguish  its  liabilities  in  the  normal  course  of  business  and  at  the 

amounts stated in the financial report. 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2015.  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report 

in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 

the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

In  our  opinion,  the  Remuneration  Report  of  Genesis  Minerals  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2015, 

complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
