Prudent Management Secures the Company’s Future During the year, cash management, cost reduction measures, and efforts to streamline operations highlighted the Company’s focus. The Company’s decision, along with shareholder support, to undertake a capital raising last year demonstrated good judgement to ensure the long term survival of the Company in what are very difficult and uncertain market conditions. Efficient Board Translates to Effective Organisational Behaviour To improve the efficiency of the Board and to further reduce operating cost, the number of Board members was reduced from 7 to 5 members with the majority being 3 independent directors. The independence and impartiality of the Board is crucial in maintaining high standards of corporate governance. Market Challenges Persist but Opportunities Exist The Company and the Board are clearly aware of the fact that the global financial and minerals commodities markets will remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. History demonstrates that markets are cyclical and that shrewd companies can take advantage of periods of instability to secure strong opportunities. The Company will continue to carefully consider opportunities to create shareholder value. Kanyika Project Results The Kanyika Niobium Project Development Agreement (DA) negotiation and metallurgical optimisation are nearing completion. Detailed engineering and costing plans are being explored for the milling and concentration plant at Kanyika. Chiziro Graphite Project Opportunity The Company's exploration work has progressed cautiously. As stated last year the Chiziro Graphite Project has defined an extensive and wide zone of graphite mineralisation and the Company has added to the project portfolio with the inclusion of the Katengeza prospect. The Company will continue to progress this project primarily on a cash replacement basis, meaning that additional exploration and development works will be done with new capital. Other Project Assessment Continues In the past year Globe has assessed many opportunities to acquire other potential projects ranging from precious metals and base metals, from advanced exploration properties to cash generating ones. In Summary In the coming year the Company will remain vigilant on market risk and on ensuring that cash resources are preserved through ongoing cost reductions, streamlining of internal control, focused milestone based exploration cost budgeting, among others, and to endeavour to acquire cash generating assets. Expenditure will only be spent on assets that return shareholder value and on a need-to-make basis. In closing, I thank all shareholders, board of directors, and employees for their support of the Company in the year past and I am looking forward to their continued support in the year to come when tangible milestones will hopefully be achieved by the Company. Yours sincerely, Alice Wong Chairperson - Globe Metals & Mining Limited 2 For personal use only Corporate Review Finance • Cash at bank at 30 June 2015 of $16.013 million.

The Company has an administration and operational centre in Lilongwe, Malawi in support of its on-the-ground Project exploration activities that currently employs 19 staff. The Malawi operations are supported from Globe’s corporate head office in Perth, Australia. Globe’s Kanyika Niobium Project, which is located in central Malawi, has contains niobium and tantalum mineralisation commodities that are key additives in steel manufacture and electronics. In addition to the Kanyika Niobium Project, Globe also has exploration projects at various stages of development in Malawi and Mozambique, Figure 1. Figure 1: Projects Location Map Kanyika Niobium Project Globe identified niobium and tantalum mineralisation in 2007 at Kanyika. Subsequent drilling confirmed the mineralisation leading to an extensive exploration and metallurgical testwork program. A scoping study in 2008 and further drilling led to a feasibility study in 2012 and the release of a JORC (2004) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate in January 2013 (refer below). During 2013, Globe commissioned metallurgical optimisation work, and subsequently in 2014 commissioned a pilot plant to demonstrate and further optimise metallurgical processes. 4 For personal use only Operations Review (Continued) Statement of Mineral Resources On 7 January 2013 Globe published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Kanyika Niobium Project (KNP). Table 1: Mineral Resource Estimate for Kanyika using a 1,500 ppm Nb2O5 cut-off grade Category Measured Indicated Inferred Total Size (Mt) 5.3 47.0 16.0 68.3 Nb2O5 Grade (ppm) Ta2O5 Grade (ppm) U3O8 Grade (ppm) 3,790 2,860 2,430 2,830 180 135 120 135 110 80 70 80 No additions or changes have been made to the above Mineral Resource Estimate since it was first published in January 2013. The Mineral Resource Estimate complies with the 2004 JORC guidelines (refer to competent person’s statement). Product Marketing and Off-Take Globe continues to explore avenues for KNP product off-take to complete the KNP definitive feasibility study. In an effort to satisfy purchasers seeking high-purity niobium products – as well as other project stakeholders – that KNP products will meet required specifications, Globe is planning further metallurgical demonstration work to produce high-purity products from mineral concentrate produced in the 2014 concentrator demonstration plant. If successful this will help de-risk the marketing aspects of the project. Intellectual Property Intellectual property (IP) developed as part of the KNP feasibility study and subsequent optimisation work has been consolidated into provisional patent applications that have been filed with IP Australia. Development Agreement Negotiations In June 2014 members of the newly elected Malawian Government held a meeting with the community and local chiefs to update them on the status of the project and reassure them of the Company’s development plans for the Project. Globe has finalised a development agreement with the Government, which currently remains unsigned. Government and Community Relations The Kanyika Workplace Certificate was renewed by the Ministry of Labour. The Relocation Action Plan is currently receiving attention at the Ministry of Labour. A review of the Environmental Impact Assessment will be undertaken at the completion of optimisation activities. Exploration A soil sampling program of 185 samples was undertaken to delineate the potential for niobium and tantalum mineralisation south of the Kanyika deposit. The results demonstrated a closure of potential niobium and tantalum bearing mineralisation. Chiziro Graphite Project The Chiziro Exploration Prospecting Licence EPL 0299/10 was renewed in the second half of 2014, with a 50% of the tenement relinquished in line with government requirements for the renewal. An exploration programme consisting of surface rock sample collection and analysis, regional mapping and 6,266 metres of trenching was completed. The programme identified significant graphite mineralisation at the Chimutu prospect. 5 For personal use only Operations Review (Continued) Summary of graphite results Trenching has demonstrated graphite mineralisation at the Chimutu Prospect over a strike length in excess of 6,000 metres, with widths exceeding 250 metres and graphite grades exceeding 5% TGC. The mineralisation is within two mineralised trends, named the Main Trend and Musinda Trend, with the Main Trend remaining open to the northeast and the Musinda Trend remaining open to the south. Selected intervals of high-grade graphite intersections identified by trenching are presented in Table 2.

A total of an additional 255 rock chip samples were collected from Chimutu, Chimutu East and Katengeza prospects and analysed for graphite. The results are summarised in Figure 4, with results at the Katengeza Prospect shown in more detail in Figure 5. The results indicate the presence of graphite mineralisation at Katengeza with graphite grades similar to Chimutu.

The availability and close proximity of this infrastructure will aid development of and support a potential mining operation. Figure 6: Supporting Infrastructure nearby to the Chimutu Prospect Mineralogical Analyses Mineralogical studies were undertaken on five samples collected during trenching work at the Chimutu prospect. Petrographic analysis, including chemical and graphite flake size analysis, was conducted on samples collected from trenches CZTR003, CZTR006, CZTR010, CZTR012 and CZTR015. Chemical analyses are summarised in Table 3 and graphite flake size analyses from petrographic work are summarised in Figure 7. The key findings of these studies are: • Total graphitic carbon grade ranged from 9.7-28% TGC, • Minor amounts of sulphur suggesting minimal sulphide minerals at depth, • And 60% of graphite is present with a flake size larger than 300 µm. 9 For personal use only Operations Review (Continued) Table 3: Comprehensive Chemical Analysis of Chimutu Samples Element Units EA0111 EA0112 EA0113 EA0114 EA0115 Sample Average CTOTAL CGRAPHITIC S SiO2 Al2O3 CaO MgO Fe2O3 K2O TiO2 Na2O MnO P2O5 Cr2O3 V2O5 LOI Co Cr Cu Fe Mn Ni Pb Zn % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % 18.8 17.8 0.69 61.3 8.1 1.42 <0.05 1.59 0.7 0.71 1.63 <0.01 0.1 0.02 0.04 23.96 <0.02 <0.05 <0.05 1.11 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 8.35 7.73 1.55 63.9 8.27 0.46 0.17 5.01 2.51 1.15 1.31 0.01 0.08 0.02 0.07 16.85 <0.02 <0.05 <0.05 3.44 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 10.3 9.76 0.71 63.6 10.3 1.68 0.07 2.3 1 1.19 2 0.02 0.06 0.02 0.05 16.92 <0.02 <0.05 <0.05 1.61 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 15.2 14 0.68 65.5 7.61 1.37 <0.05 1.68 0.69 0.79 1.5 29.9 28.3 0.11 52.1 6.96 1.23 0.16 0.91 1.59 1.05 1.64 <0.01 <0.01 0.09 0.01 0.05 20.22 <0.02 <0.05 <0.05 1.2 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 0.07 0.03 0.04 33.76 <0.02 <0.05 <0.05 0.66 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 16.51 15.52 0.75 61.28 8.25 1.23 0.13 2.30 1.30 0.98 1.62 0.02 0.08 0.02 0.05 22.34 <0.02 <0.05 <0.05 1.60 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 n o i t c a r F e z i S n i l a i r e t a M % 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 m µ 8 3 - 0 m µ 3 5 - 8 3 m µ 5 7 - 3 5 m µ 6 0 1 - 5 7 m µ 0 5 1 - 6 0 1 m µ 2 1 2 - 0 5 1 m µ 0 0 3 - 2 1 2 m µ 5 2 4 - 0 0 3 m µ 0 0 6 - 5 2 4 m µ 0 5 8 - 0 0 6 Size Fraction Figure 7: Average Graphite Flake Size Distribution in Chimutu Samples 10 For personal use only Operations Review (Continued) Key Aspects of Chiziro Graphite Project The key outcomes from work undertaken on the Chiziro graphite project are: • Mineralised zones of greater than 10% TGC are likely, • The majority of the graphite has large to coarse flake size, • The quality of graphite is expected to improve below the weathering zone, • Metallurgical processing will likely use conventional technology as part of a conventional flowsheet, • The prospects are within approximately 5 kilometres of road, rail and power infrastructure, • Additional works could identify small to medium sized zones of high-grade high-quality graphite mineralisation, • Trenching represents the best quality, low cost, targeted methodology to assist in identifying mineralisation, and • The project objectives for a low capital, small-producing operation that produces high-quality graphite product appear to be achievable concepts. Other Projects In September 2014 Globe received confirmation from the Ministry Natural Resources, Energy and Mining that the application to renew the Machinga Licence had been approved. The renewal stipulated that Globe had to relinquish 55% of the original licence. A soil sampling programme of 58 soil samples was undertaken that did not define any extensions to the existing Nb-Ta anomaly. At the Salambidwe rare earth project, reconnaissance geological mapping and rock chip sampling was undertaken, with a total of 81 rock samples collected. Assays indicated low order Rare Earth Element (REE) anomalism with low potential for commercial mineralisation. In August 2014 Globe submitted the final Relinquishment Report to the Ministry of Mineral Resources of the Republic of Mozambique relating to Exploration Licences 4831L and 4832L. Future Direction The Company will continue environmental and community studies, detailed engineering design plans and downstream processing of concentrate to marketable samples for the Kanyika project. In addition, the Company will continue to progressively assess the options for the progress of the Chiziro graphite projects after the completion of baseline environmental and community studies.

This information has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Act. The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel (KMP) who are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent. For the purposes of this report, the term “executive” includes the Managing Director (MD), executive directors (where applicable) and senior executives of the Group. Remuneration Governance A. The Board of Directors has established a Committee for the purpose of reviewing and making recommendations with respect to the remuneration practices of the Company. The Committee comprises Mr Alex Ko (Chairperson), Mr Bill Hayden and Ms Alice Wong; all of whom are non- executive directors. The Board of Directors has prepared and approved a charter as the basis on which the Committee will be constituted and operated. The role of the Committee is to provide a mechanism for the determination, implementation and assessment of the remuneration practices of the Company, including remuneration packages and incentive schemes for executive Directors and senior management, and fees payable to Non-Executive Directors. The Committee is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:   the overarching executive remuneration framework; the operation of incentive plans (if any) which apply to the executive team, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles; the remuneration levels of executive directors and other KMP; and the fees payable to non-executive directors.   The Committee’s objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive, and aligned with the long term interests of the Group. From time to time, the Committee may seek external remuneration advice. Where this is the case, remuneration consultants are engaged by, and report directly to, the Committee. In selecting remuneration consultants, the Committee considers potential conflicts of interest and requires independence from the Group’s KMP as part of the terms of engagement. The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of the Remuneration Committee. Remuneration Policy B. The remuneration policy of Globe Metals & Mining Limited and its Controlled Entities has been designed to align Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific incentives, from time to time, that are based on share price and key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. The Board of Directors of Globe believes the remuneration policy is appropriate and effective in its ability to attract, retain and motivate suitably qualified and experienced Directors and executives to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between the Directors, executives and the Company’s shareholders. 16 For personal use only Directors’ Report (Continued) Remuneration Arrangements C. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation (in accordance with relevant legislation). Executive remuneration may also incorporate a component of performance based remuneration. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. Non-executive directors are remunerated at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to 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 $600,000). The Board of Directors may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. All remuneration paid to Directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are independently valued by corporate advisers using the Black-Scholes method and Monte Carlo Model. Shares are valued at Market Value. D. Performance Based Remuneration The Company believes that linking the remuneration of Directors and executives with performance will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. From time to time, the Board of Directors may establish performance targets and a bonus system for the purposes of providing directors and executives with short-term and long-term performance incentives. Such incentives are offered to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. There are currently no incentive programs in place, apart from options which have been granted to the Managing Director and CEO. The options were not based on a percentage of salary. The Board of Directors issued the options to the Managing Director and CEO as an incentive based on market conditions. 17 For personal use only Directors’ Report (Continued) E.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 29 September 2015. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (‘Globe’ or ‘the Company’) and its controlled entities (‘Consolidated Entity’ or ‘Group’). Basis of Preparation a. The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for profit-oriented entities. (i) Compliance with IFRS The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited and controlled entities complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘AIFRS’). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). (ii) New and amended standards adopted by 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) Historical Cost Convention The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. (iv) Critical accounting estimates The preparation of 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 disclosed in note 3. Principles of Consolidation b. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Globe Metals & Mining Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2015 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Globe Metals & Mining Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the Consolidated Entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity are eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Consolidated Entity. 29 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) Inter-company 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. All controlled entities have a June financial year end. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 17 to the financial statements. Segment Reporting c. 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 board of directors. d. Foreign Currency Translation Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates, currently being the Australian Dollar for each of the entities. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when the fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit and loss for the period, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. Revenue Recognition e. 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. Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues at an effective interest rate. Income Tax f. Current Tax Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Deferred Tax Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill. 30 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Current and Deferred Taxation Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Leases g. Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the Group are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. Impairment Financial Assets h. (i) The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are impaired. For loans and receivables, the amount of 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) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If there is objective evidence of impairment 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 profit or loss. 31 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) Exploration and Evaluation Assets (ii) Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts and circumstances exists: - - the term of the exploration licence in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted nor planned; - exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area of interest have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specific area of interest; or sufficient data exists to indicate that, although a development in the specific area of interest is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. - Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash generating unit (“CGU”) which is no larger than the area of interest. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Non-financial Assets Other Than Exploration and Evaluation Assets (iii) The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s non-financial assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Cash and Cash Equivalents i. Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the Statement Cash Flow, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Term Deposits j. Term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise of term deposits held by the bank which have a maturity of between three and six months. Exploration and Evaluation Assets k. Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of interest are current and either: - the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or - activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation expenditure to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the life of the mine. 32 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) Investments and Other Financial Assets l. Classification The group classifies its financial assets 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 the end of each reporting date. (i) 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 period which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables (note 9) in the balance sheet. (ii) 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 the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Investments are designated as 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 de-recognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. 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 other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities. Measurement At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 33 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) 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 profit or loss 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 profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations when the group’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses). 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 other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 2. Property, Plant and Equipment m. Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The depreciable amount of all Motor vehicle and Leasehold assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives. Plant and equipment, Furniture and fittings and Software assets are depreciated using the diminishing value method. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets vary from 3% to 40% with the average rate being 30%. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income. Trade and Other Receivables n. Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debt. Trade and Other Payables o. Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Consolidated Entity. Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis. Provisions p. Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outlay of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 34 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) Employee Benefits q. Short-term obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. Other long-term employee benefit obligations The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. Retirement benefit obligations All employees of the group are entitled to benefits from the group’s superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death or can direct the group to make contributions to a defined contribution plan of their choice. Contributions to superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Equity Settled Compensation 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 transaction”). 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 a valuation by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting 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. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification. 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, as described in the previous paragraph. 35 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) Contributed Equity r. 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. Where any group company purchases the company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners. Earnings Per Share s. 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 and excluding treasury shares 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Goods and Services Tax and other Value Added Taxes t. Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and other Value Added Taxes (VAT), except where the amount of GST or VAT incurred is not recoverable from the applicable taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST and VAT are 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 statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST and VAT. The net amount of GST or VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flow on a gross basis. The GST and VAT components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authorities are classified as operating cash flows. Rounding of amounts u. The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. Parent entity financial information v. The financial information for the parent entity, Globe Metals and Mining Limited, disclosed in note 28 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below. Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities (i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Globe Metals and Mining Limited. 36 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) New accounting standards and interpretations w. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current reporting period, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade and other debtors and creditors, which arise directly from its operations, and available for sale financial assets. For the period under review, it has been the Group’s policy not to trade in financial instruments. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments and the Group’s policies for managing each of these risks are summarised below: Interest Rate Risk The Group does not have short or long term cash deposits or debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. An analysis by maturities is provided in (i) below. Credit Risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The credit risk on financial assets of the Group is reflected in those assets' carrying amount net of any provisions for impairment. The Group currently holds majority of its cash and cash equivalents with Westpac Banking Corporation with a credit rating of AA-. The Group believes the credit risk exposure is negligible given the string credit rating of the counterparty. Foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency. The majority of expenses incurred are in AUD and therefore risk is not significant. Monetary assets and liabilities of the Group denominated in foreign currencies are not material to the Group. Concentration risk The parent entity is exposed to concentration risk due to 99% of its cash and cash equivalents being held within the one financial institution. The Group manages this risk through monitoring of the credit rating of the institution. Liquidity risk The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate short term cash facilities are maintained. At the end of the period the group held deposits at call of $16,013,533 (2014: $750,096) with no maturities of three months or less (2014: $6,024,240), and no maturities of more than three months (2014: $13,000,000) respectively, that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. 37 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) Interest rate risk exposures (i) The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out in the following table: 2015 Financial Assets Cash at bank Trade & other receivables Available for sale financial assets Other assets Weighted Average Interest Rate Financial Liabilities Trade & other creditors Weighted Average Interest Rate Floating interest rate $’000 16,013 - - - 16,013 1.43% - - - Net financial assets / (liabilities) 16,013 2014 Financial Assets Cash at bank Short Term bank deposits Term deposits Trade & other receivables Available for sale financial assets Other assets Weighted Average Interest Rate Financial Liabilities Trade & other creditors Weighted Average Interest Rate Floating interest rate $’000 750 - - - - 750 1.99% - - - 1 year or less Fixed interest maturing in Over 1 year less than 5 $’000 More than 5 years $’000 $’000 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 year or less Fixed interest maturing in Over 1 year less than 5 $’000 More than 5 years $’000 $’000 - 6,024 13,000 - - - 19,024 3.78% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Non-Interest bearing Total $’000 $’000 - 257 34 42 333 (387) (387) - 16,013 257 34 42 16,346 (387) (387) - (54) 15,959 Non-Interest bearing Total $’000 $’000 - - 209 46 225 480 - (1,065) (1,065) - 750 6,024 13,000 209 46 225 20,254 - (1,065) (1,065) - (585) 19,189 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Net financial assets / (liabilities) 750 19,024 Sensitivity analysis The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis in relation to interest income and movements in interest rates on financial assets and liabilities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates relating to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next accounting period are: Exploration and evaluation expenditure (i) The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in expenditure being capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit and loss. Refer to note 12 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to exploration and evaluation expenditure. Income taxes (ii) Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences, are recognised only when it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised. Refer to note 7 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to income taxes. Tax provisions (iii) Judgement is required in calculating tax provisions relating to potential tax obligations in foreign jurisdictions where the legislation and case law is not established. Tax provisions are recognised when it is considered more likely than not that an amount will be payable. Refer to note 14 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to tax provisions. 4. SEGMENT INFORMATION The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. The consolidated entity has two reportable segments which are based on the stage of development of its projects, which are broadly in either of two groups: those in the exploration phase or those in the evaluation stage. Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent corporate amounts that are not core to the reportable segments. Prior period information has been restated to reflect the current composition of reportable segments. Activity by segment Africa-Kanyika The Africa-Kanyika segment includes the Kanyika Niobium project in Malawi which is host to a 2004 JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 68.3Mt @ 2,830ppm Nb2O5 (niobium pentoxide) and 135ppm Ta5O5 (tantalum pentoxide) at a 1,500 ppm Nb2O5 cut-off. The Kanyika Niobium project is currently at the evaluation stage. Africa-Exploration The Africa-Exploration segment includes the following projects, all of which are in the exploration stage: Chiziro Graphite project in Malawi - - Machinga Niobium-Tantalum project in Malawi - Salambidwe REE project in Malawi 39 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) 4.

The value of the Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon: - - - - the continuance of the consolidated entity’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest; the results of future exploration; and the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale. no significant changes in laws and regulations that greatly impact the company’s ability to maintain tenure. The Group’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to indigenous people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims. 45 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) 13.

At reporting date, the Group has no external borrowings. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. Capital Risk Management The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends, return capital to shareholders, issue/buy-back shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity’s share price at the time of investment. The consolidated entity is not currently pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies. The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2015 annual report. (c) Terms of Ordinary Shares Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held and in proportion to the amount paid up on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value. At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote in proportion to the paid up amount of the share when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. At the end of reporting period, there are 469,729,062 shares on issue. (d) Terms of Options At the end of reporting period, there were 4,000,000 options over unissued shares as follows: - - - - 1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.10 on or before 30 June 2017, with performance hurdles. 1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.15 on or before 30 June 2018, with performance hurdles. 1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.20 on or before 30 June 2019, with performance hurdles. 1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.25 on or before 30 June 2020, with performance hurdles. 47 For personal use only Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements (Continued) 16.

COMMITMENTS (a) Exploration commitments In order to maintain current rights of tenure to mining tenements, the Group has the following exploration expenditure requirements up until expiry of leases. These obligations, which are subject to renegotiation upon expiry of the leases, are not provided for in the financial statements and are payable: Not longer than one year Longer than one year, but not longer than five years Longer than five years Consolidated 2015 $’000 3,741 335 - 4,076 2014 $’000 2,736 430 - 3,166 If the Group decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the statement of financial position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations.

RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES Parent entity (a) The ultimate parent entity of the Group is Globe Metals & Mining Limited. Key management personnel (b) Disclosures relating to key management personnel are set out in note 19. (c) Other related party transactions: On the 7th May 2013 Globe announced a MOU with Jiangsu Eastern China Non-Ferrous Metals Investment Holding Co. (ECE), its major shareholder at that time and a ‘related party’ by definition pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), to assist and finance proposed exploration activity in Malawi. The MOU provided for Globe to reimburse costs incurred by ECE to ECE but only upon deriving revenue from the exploration project areas or upon identification of a JORC resource leading to a commissioning of a Pre-Feasibility Study. The MOU provided circumstances under which ECE was required to reimburse Globe for costs it incurred in assisting ECE. During the 2014 financial year, Globe incurred US$148,967 in costs reimbursable by ECE pursuant to the terms of the MOU. The MOU was deficient however in that it failed to prescribe commercial terms for repayment of the reimbursable costs as should have been expected, such as timeframe for repayment, interest (if any), actions available in the event of default. The failure to prescribe requisite commercial terms resulted in a dispute between the parties, with ECE not initially accepting liability. As at 30 June 2014 the reimbursable costs remained in dispute and therefore a receivable was not raised in the year end accounts. At the Company’s Annual General Meeting In November 2014 it was verbally agreed by ECE that it would reimburse Globe US$128,303.05; which was agreed and accepted. In December 2014 a receivable was raised for the amount of US $128,303.05. In May 2015, the amount of US $128,303.05 was repaid by ECE. No interest was received from ECE despite a delay in repayment of over 18 months. Terms and conditions (d) All transactions were made on normal commercial terms and conditions and at market rates. 24.

ALISTAIR STEPHENS MANAGING DIRECTOR Dated 29th day of September 2015 57 For personal use only Independent Auditor’s Report 58 For personal use only Independent Auditor’s Report 59 For personal use only Corporate Governance Statement The Company is committed to implementing the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has turned to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. The Company is pleased to advise that the Company’s practices are largely consistent with those ASX guidelines. As consistency with the guidelines has been a gradual process, where the Company did not have certain policies or committees recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (the Council) in place during the reporting period, we have identified such policies or committees. Where the Company’s corporate governance practices do not correlate with the practices recommended by the Council, the Company is working towards compliance however it does not consider that all the practices are appropriate for the Company due to the size and scale of Company operations. The Company’s compliance against the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations are summarised as follows: Principle ASX Corporate Governance Council Recommendations Comply 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 3 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 4 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions. Disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives. Provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on principle 1. Structure the Board to add value A majority of the board should be independent directors. The chair should be an independent director. The roles of chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual. The board should establish a nomination committee. Disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors. Provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on principle 2. Promote ethical and responsible decision-making Establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary as to: • • the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity; the practices necessary to take into account the company’s legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of its stakeholders; and • the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices. Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy should include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.
