Dear Shareholders 

On behalf of the Board of Globe, I present to you the 2016 Annual Report. 

The 2015 Annual Report  articulated an ongoing focus on ensuring that the Company’s cash resources were preserved 
through careful cost management during what continues to be an uncertain time in global and commodity markets.   

During  the  course  of  the  past  12  months  a  number  of  decisions  were  made  and  measures  introduced  which  have 
substantially reduced corporate costs, and which will result in sustained savings. 

The  2015  Annual  Report  also  articulated  a  focus  on  reviewing  investment  opportunities  with  a  view  to  acquiring 
businesses which offer long-term cash generation. 

In December 2015, the Company announced that it was undertaking a strategic review  of the Company’s business and 
of global investment opportunities outside of the mining and metals industry, aimed at establishing and prioritising the 
areas in which its resources were to be utilised so as to maximise the return for shareholders. 

The  scope  of  the  strategic  review  was  to  be  broad  and  to  focus  on  global  business  opportunities  with  strong  cash 
generation capability and growth prospects.   

Whilst  the  strategic  review  remains  incomplete,  the  Company  has  identified  the  Australia-China  trade  in  agricultural 
products,  food  and  beverage,  and  health  supplements  as  a  key  area  of  interest  leveraging  Australia’s  reputation  and 
competitive advantage for producing products that are of high quality, clean, natural and value for money. 

The  Company  has  reviewed  numerous  investment  opportunities  in  this  area,  none  of  which  have  progressed  to  an 
advanced stage.  Despite this, this area remains the primary focus.  Notwithstanding, opportunities in other high growth 
industries are also of interest for the purpose of investment by the Company.  The Company will not be rushed into an 
investment decision.  

The reduction in steel manufacture world-wide and the fall in the niobium price in recent years has impacted the pace 
of  advancement  of  the  Company’s  Kanyika  Niobium  Project,  but  despite  this  the  Company  continues  to  work  with 
parties  interested  in  the  financing  and  development  of  the  Project  who  recognise  the  opportunity  that  the  Project 
presents at this point in time in the commodity price cycle. 

In accordance with Australian accounting standards, and taking the recommendation of management, the Company has 
resolved to recognise a full impairment of the Chiziro Graphite Project during this past fiscal year. 

In the coming year the Company will remain vigilant  on its cash management  whilst  continuing to review investment 
opportunities with a view to acquiring businesses which offer long-term cash generation, and which provide significant 
shareholder value.  

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. 

Yours sincerely, 

Alice Wong 
Chairperson - Globe Metals & Mining Limited

About Globe 

Globe Metals and Mining Limited (Globe) is an Australian registered public company and has been listed on the ASX since December 
2005  (ASX:  GBE).  The  Company  has  an  administration  and  operational  centre  in  Lilongwe,  Malawi  in  support  of  its  on-the-ground 
Project exploration activities.  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,  contains  niobium  and  tantalum  mineralisation,  commodities 
that are key additives in steel manufacture and electronics.   

In addition to the Kanyika Niobium Project, Globe also holds the Chiziro Graphite Project in Malawi. 

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.  

On 7 January 2013  Globe  published a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Kanyika Niobium Project  of 68.3M tonnes (equivalent)  of 
Nb2O5 using a 1,500 ppm Nb2O5 cut-off (refer below).

No additions or changes have been made to this resource statement since it was first published and it complies with the 2004 JORC 
guidelines for mineral resource statements as made in that release (refer “Competent Persons Statements” section following). 

The  Kanyika  Exclusive  Prospecting  Licence  (EPL0188)  was  due  for  expiry  at  the  end  of  December  2014.    In  early  December  2014, 
Globe  applied  for  a  Mining  Licence  to  cover  the  Kanyika  Nb-Ta  resource  and  all  areas  covering  proposed  mine  infrastructure  and 
prospective exploration areas.  Globe received notification in June 2015 from Malawi Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy & Mining 
(MMNREM)  that  its  application  for  a  Mining  Lease  has  been  approved  subject  to  completion  of  a  Development  Agreement.  The 
Development Agreement negotiations are continuing in good faith with the Government of Malawi. 

During  the  year,  the  executive  team  examined  opportunities  for  project  enhancement,  including  reconfiguration  of  project 
arrangements, and had advanced discussion with various regulators, stakeholders and other parties regarding project development 
and financing.  

Chiziro Graphite Project 

During the year ended 30 June 2016, Globe conducted a rock chip sampling program at the Katengeza Prospect, a site of known 
graphite mineralisation and historical workings, which was previously excised from the Project area by Malawi Ministry of Natural 
Resources, Energy and Mining.  

All samples reported the existence of graphite, with more than half of the samples returning grades exceeding 10% TGC, indicating 
that high-grade graphite mineralisation exists at the Katengeza Prospect. As such, the Chiziro Graphite Project is proven to contain 
two known areas of high grade mineralisation; being at the Chimutu Prospect and the Katengeza Prospect. 

Given  the  existence  of  two  areas  of  high-grade  mineralisation,  Globe  engaged  a  mining  consultancy  firm  to  assist  in  devising  a 
strategic development plan for the Chiziro Graphite Project.  The plan  identified a pathway for successful development of the Project 
which is dependent upon achieving the following milestones: 

completion of further exploration works to define a mineral resource, 

 
  metallurgical  testwork  demonstrating  that  high-value  flake  graphite  product  in  high  concentration  can  be  obtained  from 

processing of Chiziro, 
completion of a project feasibility study 
securing a binding off-take agreement or developing a partnership with an established graphite consumer, and 
financing.

Other Projects 

During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Group relinquished the Machinga Rare Earth Project, the Salimbidwe Rare Earth Project and 
the  Memba  Titanium-iron  Project.    All  three  projects  were  early-stage  exploration  projects  and  would  have  required  significant 
funding to advance; which was unable to be justified in the current environment.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED 

This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2016 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in accordance with 
the requirements of Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its regulations.  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. 

A. 

Remuneration Governance 

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. 

The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of the Remuneration Committee. 

B. 

Remuneration Policy 

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.  

C. 

Remuneration Arrangements 

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).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

C.      Remuneration Arrangements (continued) 

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 previously 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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

H. 

‘Two Strikes’ Legislation 

Under the ‘two strikes’ legislation which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the eligible votes cast on the adoption of 
the remuneration report of the Company at two consecutive annual general meetings are against the adoption of the remuneration 
report,  the  Company  must  put  to  the  shareholders  a  ‘spill  resolution’.    If  the  spill  resolution  is  passed,  the  Company  must  hold 
another general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (“spill meeting”) within 90 days of passing of the resolution.   

The Company’s remuneration report was not adopted at its 2014 AGM or at its 2015 AGM representing two successive strikes and 
hence,  a  spill  resolution  was  put  to  shareholders  at  the  Company’s  2015  AGM.    The  spill  resolution  was  passed  at  the  Company’s 
2015 AGM resulting in a requirement to call a spill meeting.   

A spill meeting was held on 24 February 2016 at which all directorships were vacated as required, with the exception of the Managing 
Director, and resolutions were put to shareholders appoint persons as directors as per the notice of meeting.  The shareholders of 
the Company voted to return all of the directors who had been required to vacate office and no new directors were appointed.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

INDEMNIFYING OFFICERS OR AUDITOR 

The  Group  has  agreed  to  indemnify  all  the  directors  and  executive  officers  for  any  costs  or  expenses  that  may  be  incurred  in 
defending civil and criminal proceedings that may be brought against them in their capacity as directors and officers for which they 
may be held personally liable. 

The Company agreed to pay an annual insurance premium of $21,875 in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses, 
for directors, officers and employees of the Company.  

The Company has not entered into any agreement to indemnify PricewaterhouseCoopers against any claims by third parties arising 
from their report on the annual financial report. 

To  the  extent  permitted  by  law,  the  Company  has  agreed  to  indemnify  its  auditors,  Ernst  &  Young  as  part  of  the  terms  of  its 
engagement letter against any claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No payments were made 
during the year ended 30 June 2016 or subsequently. 

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF COMPANY 

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the  Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the 
Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purposes of taking responsibility on behalf of 
the Company for all or part of those proceedings. 

No  proceedings  have  been  brought  or  intervened  in  on  behalf  of  the  Company  with  leave  of  the  Court  under  section  237  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001. 

AUDITOR 

Non-Audit Services 
The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year is compatible with the general standard of 
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The directors are satisfied that the services disclosed below did not 
compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons: 

 

 

all  non-audit  services  are  reviewed  and  approved  by  the  board  prior  to  commencement  to  ensure  they  do  not  adversely 
affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 

the nature of the services provided do not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in accordance 
with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board. 

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia and related entities for audit and non-audit 
services provided during the year are set out in note 20 to the financial Statements. No non-audit services were provided by Ernst & 
Young. 

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in financial/Directors’ report) Instrument 2016/191. Therefore 
amounts in the directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar. 

AUDITORS INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION 

The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page 14. 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration to the Directors of Globe Metals and 
Mining Limited 

As lead auditor for the audit of Globe Metals and Mining Limited for the financial year ended 30 June 
2016, I declare to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been: 

a.  no contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2016 was authorised for issue in accordance with a 
resolution of directors on 30 September 2016. 

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’). 

a. 

Basis of Preparation  

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  2015  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,  with  the  exception  of  available-for-sale  financial 
assets which is measured at fair value. 

(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. 

b. 

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2016. Control 
is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to 
affect those returns through its power over the investee.  

Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:  

o 
o 
o 

Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)  
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee  
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns  

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group 
has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in 
assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:  

o 
o 
o 

The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee  
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements  
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights  

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or 
more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and 
ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of 
during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group 
ceases to control the subsidiary.  

Profit or loss and each component of OCI are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling 
interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the 
financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group  
assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated 
in full on consolidation.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.  

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest 
and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised 
at fair value.  

c. 

Segment Reporting 

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

e. 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the  economic benefits will flow to the Group and the  revenue can  be 
reliably measured.  

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues at an effective interest rate. 

f. 

Income Tax 

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. 

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.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 

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. 

g. 

Leases 

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  

h. 
(i)  Financial Assets 
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. 

(ii)  Exploration and Evaluation Assets 
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. 

(iii) Non-financial Assets Other Than Exploration and Evaluation Assets 
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.   

i. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

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 Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net 
of outstanding bank overdrafts.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 

j. 

        Term Deposits 

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. 

k. 

Exploration and Evaluation Assets 

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. 

l. 

Investments and Other Financial Assets 

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. 

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. 

m. 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

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.  

n. 

Trade and Other Receivables 

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. 

o. 

Trade and Other Payables 

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. 

p. 

Provisions 

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.

q. 

Employee Benefits 

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. 

r. 

Contributed Equity 

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.

s. 
Earnings Per Share 
(i)  Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: 
- 
-  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for  bonus  elements  in 

the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares 

ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares 

(ii)  Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: 
- 
- 

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and 
the  weighted  average  number  of  additional  ordinary  shares  that  would  have  been  outstanding  assuming  the  conversion  of  all 
dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

t. 

Goods and Services Tax and other Value Added Taxes 

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. 

u. 

Rounding of amounts 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in financial/Directors’ report) Instrument 2016/191. Therefore 
amounts in the directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar. 

v.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT  

1 January 2018 

1 July 2018 

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of 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. 

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 strong 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 year the group held deposits at call of $13,245,418 (2015: $16,013,533) which are expected to readily 
generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

Sensitivity analysis 

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis in relation to interest income and movements in interest rates on financial assets and 
liabilities. The analysis highlights the effect on the current year’s pre-tax loss which would have resulted from movement in interest 
rates with all other variables remaining constant. 

Change in loss 
- increase in interest rate by 0.5% 
- decrease in interest rate by 0.5%

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 

Fair value hierarchy 
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, based on the 
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows: 

 
 

 

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly 
or indirectly observable 
Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements is 
unobservable 

For all asset and liabilities that are recognised at fair value on recurring basis, the group determines whether transfers have occurred 
between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. 

The available-for-sale financial assets are level one in the fair value hierarchy. 

Commentary 
AASB 113.93(b) requires an entity to disclose the level of the fair value hierarchy within the fair value measurements are categorised, 
i.e., 1, 2 or 3. Specific facts and circumstances should be assessed for each individual class of asset and liability in determining the 
appropriate categorisation. 

3. 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.

Relates to Machinga and Salimbidwe projects, both of which were relinquished during the year. 
Impairment expense is in relation to the Chiziro Graphite Project – see below. 

Kanyika Niobium Project 
The Directors have considered the requirements of AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, and have reviewed 
the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditures that relate to the Kanyika Niobium Project.  Based on the review, the 
directors consider the carrying value of the Kanyika Niobium Project is supported by the anticipated future value.  Furthermore, there 
are no indications that the carrying value of the Kanyika Niobium Project was impaired at 30 June 2016.   

Chiziro Graphite Project 
The Directors have considered the requirements of AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and of AASB 136: 
Impairment of Assets, and have reviewed the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditures that relate to the Chiziro 
Graphite Project.  The review identified that there existed at 30 June 2016 factors that indicated that the carrying value of the Chiziro 
Graphite Project might be impaired at 30 June 2016.  In accordance with AASB 136, the Directors undertook an assessment of the 
recoverable amount of the Chiziro Graphite Project.  That assessment determined that in the absence of comparable transactions or 
a formal offer having been received for the project, the recoverable amount was nil.  As such, impairment of $1.127 million, being the 
full amount of the exploration and evaluation expenditures capitalised with respect to the Chiziro Graphite Project, has been 
recognised. 

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.

The Directors primary objectivity is to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Group.  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. 

Terms of Ordinary Shares 

(b) 
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. 

(c) 

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. 
1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.15 on or before 30 June 2018. 
1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.20 on or before 30 June 2019. 
1,000,000 unlisted options, exercisable at $0.25 on or before 30 June 2020.

The share based payments reserve records items recognised as expenses on valuation of employee share options and performance 
shares. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB2, the Company valued options and rights issued to staff in the past 
as part of their remuneration arrangements.  Options and rights were issued at  no cost, but were attributed value based  upon  an 
independent assessment of their fair value.  The attributed value was expensed through Profit and Loss at the time and booked to 
the share based payments reserve. 

Those  rights  and  options  have  now  all  expired  or  been  forfeited  with  the  exception  of  4,000,000  options  which  are  considered  to 
have no fair value (refer to note 27).  In accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB2, the share based payments reserve 
has been transferred to Accumulated Losses in the prior year.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Globe Metals and Mining 
Limited 

Report on the financial report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Globe Metals and Mining Limited, which comprises 
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and 
other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the 
company Globe Metals and Mining Limited and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to 
time during the financial year 

Directors' responsibility for the financial report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial 
report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1(a), the directors 
also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that 
the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor's responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our 
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with 
relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about 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 controls 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 controls. 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.  

Independence 

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001.  We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a 
copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

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:

The Board of Directors is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company and has adopted a range of corporate 
governance policies consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best 
Practice Recommendations, to the extent that recommendations are appropriate to the structure and operations of the Company. 

A summary of the major policies relevant to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles is set out below: 

Council Principle 1:  Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

The Board's primary role is the protection and enhancement of medium to long term shareholder value.  To fulfil this role, the Board 
is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of the consolidated entity including its strategic direction, establishing goals for 
management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.  

The Board is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company by: 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 

supervising the Company’s framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed 
ensuring the Company is properly managed  
approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures; 
approval of the annual budget; 
monitoring the financial performance of the Company; 
approving and monitoring financial and other reporting; 
overall corporate governance of the Company, including conducting regular reviews of the balance of responsibilities within the 
Company to ensure division of functions remain appropriate to the needs of the Company; 
liaising with the Company’s external auditors as appropriate; and 
monitoring, and ensuring compliance with, all of the Company's legal obligations, in particular those obligations relating to the 
environment, native title, cultural heritage and occupational health and safety. 

- 
- 

The Board must convene regular meetings with such frequency as is sufficient to appropriately discharge its responsibilities. Between 
regular meetings it will also ensure that important matters are addressed by way of circular resolutions.  The Board may, from time to 
time, delegate some of the responsibilities listed above to its senior management team.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

Materiality threshold 
The Board has agreed on both quantitative and qualitative guidelines for assessing the materiality of matters. Qualitative indications 
of materiality would include if: 

- 
- 
- 
- 
- 

they impact on the reputation of the Company; 
they involve a breach of legislation; 
they are outside the ordinary course of business; 
they could affect the Company’s rights to its assets; or 
if accumulated they would trigger the quantitative tests.  

The Chairperson 
The chairperson is responsible for leadership of the Board, for the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board's function and for 
the briefing of all directors in relation to issues arising at Board meetings.  The chairperson is also responsible for chairing shareholder 
meetings and arranging Board performance evaluation.  

The Managing Director 
The  Managing  Director  is  responsible  for  the  day-to-day  affairs  of  the  Company  under  delegated  authority  from  the  Board  and  to 
implement  the  policies  and  strategy  approved  by  the  Board.    In  carrying  out  his/her  responsibilities  the  Managing  Director  must 
report to the Board in a timely manner and ensure all reports to the Board present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial 
condition and operational results.  The Managing Director is also responsible for overall shareholder communication in conjunction 
with the Chairperson of the Board. 

Role and responsibility of management 
The  role  of  management  is  to  support  the  Managing  Director  and  implement  the  running  of  the  general  operations  and  financial 
business  of  the  Company,  in  accordance  with  the  delegated  authority  of  the  Board.  Management  is  responsible  for  reporting  all 
matters which fall within the Materiality Threshold at first instance to the Managing Director or if the matter concerns the Managing 
Director then directly to the Chairperson of the Board or the Chairperson of the Audit and Risk Committee, as appropriate. 

Relationship of Board with management 
Management of the day-to-day business of the Company is to be conducted by or under the supervision of the Board, and by those 
other officers and employees to whom the management function is properly delegated by the Board. 

The  Board  will  adopt  appropriate  structures  and  procedures  to  ensure  that  the  Board  functions  independently  of  management. 
Appropriate procedures may involve  the Board meeting on a regular basis without management  present, or may involve expressly 
assigning the responsibility for administering the Board's relationship to management to a Committee of the Board.  

Information is formally presented to the Board at Board meetings by way of Board reports and review of performance to date.  When 
directors are providing information about opportunities for the Company, this should always be through the Board.   

Council Principle 2: Structure the board to add value 

The Board currently has presently has one executive director, one non-executive Chairperson (Ms A Wong), and three non-executive 
directors (all independent).  

The Board has five members, including the Managing Director. The Board has three independent directors and one nominee director 
of the majority shareholder which includes the Chairperson.  

The  Board  is  conscious  of  the  need  for  independence.  The  Board  believes  that  the  Chairperson  is  able  and  does  bring  quality  and 
independent  judgment  to  all  relevant  issues  falling  within  the  scope  of  the  role  of  a  Chairperson.  The  Board  considers  that  its 
structure has been and continues to be appropriate in the context of the company’s current projects and operations. The Company 
considers that each  director  possesses  skills and experience suitable for building the Company.    Furthermore, the Board considers 
that in the current phase of the Company's growth, the Company's shareholders are better served by directors who have a vested 
interest  in  the  Company.    The  Board  intends  to  reconsider  its  composition  as  the  Company's  operations  evolve,  and  appoint 
independent directors as appropriate. 

Council Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making. 

The  Company  is  committed  to  being  an  inclusive  workplace  that  embraces  and  promotes  diversity,  while  respecting  International, 
Sovereign and Australian laws. 

The  Company  recognises  the  value  of  a  diverse  work  force  and  believes  that  diversity  supports  all  employees  reaching  their  full 
potential, improves business decisions, business results, increases stakeholder satisfaction and promotes realisation of the company 
vision.  We believe that these differences between people add to the collective skills and experience of the organisation and ensures 
we benefit by selecting from all available talent. 

Diversity may result from a range of factors including but not limited to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural backgrounds
