MINERAL SANDS DEMAND GROWTH
Demand for mineral sands products over the medium-to-longer term is linked to three key dynamics:
Urbanisation
The rapid rate of urbanisation of China, India and other emerging economies increases floor space, creating demand
for mineral sands bearing products including tiles, paint and other products.
Rising living standards and consumption
Rising wealth and living standards in emerging economies, often measured by GDP or income per capita, is linked to
increased spending on durable consumer goods, many of which make use of titanium dioxide and zircon.
Increasing array of uses
Titanium dioxide and zircon are used in an array of new applications. Examples include: catalytic converters,
fibre optics, capacitors and motherboards, aerospace, air and water filtration, digital printing, nano coatings and
specialised industrial componentry such as those used in offshore gas and desalinisation plants.
TECHNICAL AND RESOURCE DIFFERENTIATION
Iluka has integrated mining and processing operations located in Australia and the US, allowing it to flex production
in light of market conditions.

contributed $87.9 million to Group
EBITDA in 2013.
2009
NPAT declined significantly in 2013,
primarily due to materially lower
product prices, and a year-end
accounting (non-cash) adjustment
of $41.0 million after tax.
Lower mineral sands revenues
largely reflect lower received prices
during 2013 across all major
products.
Average revenue per tonne of
zircon/rutile/synthetic rutile sold
for 2013 was US$1,173 per tonne,
41% lower than 2012.
Sales volumes were mixed with
zircon and rutile sales up (73% and
59% respectively) and synthetic
rutile sales down 73%.
Lower EBITDA is primarily due
to lower revenue.
Production cash costs were
reduced during the year as
a result of operational changes

FEATURES
OF 2013
2013 was a challenging year for Iluka. The mineral sands industry continued to reflect low
cycle conditions, with only a partial and uneven recovery in zircon demand, and with subdued
demand for high grade titanium dioxide feedstocks. Prices declined materially year-on-year.
In these conditions the company’s approach was to flex production, maintain a strong balance sheet
and preserve growth options. Given the prevailing market conditions, erosion in financial performance
has occurred and will spill over into 2014. However, Iluka remains well placed to capitalise on a
demand-led recovery and the favourable medium-to-longer term dynamics in its sector.

PRODUCTION
AND SALES
SUMMARY
Mineral sands production
Iluka’s approach to operate assets in line with market demand
led to lower production across all products. High grade titanium
dioxide (rutile and synthetic rutile) production was curtailed
given market conditions, with the company operating only
one of its four synthetic rutile kilns for part of the year. Zircon
production was also constrained for a second year, mainly by
lower processing of concentrate into finished goods.
Iluka maintains the capacity to increase production rapidly in
line with demand recovery and inventory drawdown. Ilmenite
production is available either for use as a feedsource for
synthetic rutile production, or for direct sale. Lower mining rates
and lower processing of concentrate was associated with a
reduction in ilmenite production.

CHAIRMAN’S
REVIEW
In addressing growth and the evolution of the financial
characteristics of Iluka, your Directors will continue to support
various options. Clearly, optimising the company’s resource
base, as well as growing it, is of paramount importance. Quality
reserves and the potential to progressively convert resources
to reserves are the lifeblood of any minerals commodities
company. In this regard, I believe, there are opportunities
arising from technological innovation, partnering and astute
investment where value can be added to the company’s
resources and where new applications and markets can be
developed. Considerable work has been initiated in this area,
as evident by the greater commitment to innovation, research
and development and to facilitating an industry association
for zircon. Most recently, the investment made in the private
United Kingdom based Metalysis Limited, a technology company
seeking to commercialise a patented process for the production
of high value metals, including titanium powder, at a materially
lower cost than existing technology, provides Iluka with an
investment in a potential breakthrough technology which may
have significant implications for growing demand, or adding
value, to one part of the company’s resource base.
is also noteworthy that recent changes
in executive
It
management responsibility facilitate a greater focus on
resources development, strategic partnerships and alliances, as
well as innovation. All are a hallmark of an approach the Board
will support and encourage. To grow, Iluka must be more creative,
innovative and prepared to adopt risks in pursuing investment
options in areas allied or adjacent to its core business. Such
pursuits can create new options and with that the potential to
evolve the company; broaden its franchise and customer base;
and in turn enhance and contribute to a greater resilience in the
financial characteristics of the company over time.
focused efforts
Iluka has numerous opportunities within its current portfolio
through
in: new project development;
international exploration and other resource development
activities; advancement of its global marketing and sales
capabilities; technical development and innovation. Clearly, the
company will also consider and where appropriate progress
growth opportunities which lie outside of its existing portfolio.
Board and management have a willingness to act in a counter-
cyclical manner in accordance with defined acquisition criteria.
Of course, the successful execution of strategy – and ability to
attenuate risk – is delivered by and through Iluka’s people. The
company is fortunate to have a skilled and capable workforce
who seek to provide Iluka’s customers with a quality product
that satisfies their needs and, in turn, those of their customers.
Greg Martin, Chairman
I am pleased to write to shareholders for the first time as
Chairman of your company, having joined the Board in January
2013. In December 2013 I succeeded John Pizzey, after John
retired following eight years of service as a Director and three
and a half years as Chairman.
The key focus for my fellow Directors and I is to support
management to profitably grow your company and, thereby, to
create and deliver value for shareholders. And crucially, for this
to be done in a safe, responsible and sustainable manner which,
I am pleased to observe, has been the case throughout the year.
Management and the Board have overseen and, in some cases
influenced, a major transformation in industry dynamics. In the
process, this has generated significant value for shareholders,
as well as demonstrating a capital discipline, which has also been
translated into capital-efficient decisions and a track record
of returning to shareholders funds, in excess of investment
requirements, in the form of fully franked dividends.
As evidenced by the company’s financial performance in 2013,
this has been a challenging year as the mineral sands industry
has experienced a cyclical low in business conditions. Your
Directors believe that the company has navigated the challenges
well: preserving solid margin structures; maintaining a strong
balance sheet; keeping potential mineral sands projects on track
and continuing to invest in other areas, such as exploration,
marketing and innovation, which will underpin the future growth
of the company.
Clearly, the level of cyclicality in business performance has been
more extreme than your Directors would like to see shareholders
experience in the future. Much of the cyclicality is due to an
industry which has evolved rapidly over recent years. Recent
industry settings, including multi-tiered pricing arrangements
and residual industry contracting terms, combined with the
abrupt reduction in demand across both the main product suites
of zircon and titanium dioxide feedstocks, have exacerbated the
volatility in earnings and cash flow. However, I believe there are
steps the company can take to moderate the adverse impact of
volatility in future.
10
ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
In doing so, they recognise that any extractive industry’s licence
to operate is a function of its ability to engage meaningfully
and constructively with the communities in which it operates.
The integrity and mutual respect of Iluka’s interactions with
its stakeholders is, ultimately, of paramount importance to the
sustainability and viability of the company’s activities.
By way of example, Iluka’s track record of land rehabilitation
over many years, as well as its commitment to genuine
engagement with the communities where it conducts its business
activities, has underpinned the company’s licence to operate.
The challenge, as always, is that this right must continually be
re-earned if it is to be maintained.
For a company with an objective to create and deliver shareholder
value, and of Iluka’s size, there must be a balance between the
use of cash to fund growth opportunities and provide returns
to shareholders through dividend payments. The ideal outcome
is to have the ability to do both. In the Board’s view, it remains
appropriate for the company to return the maximum practicable
amount of free cash flow to shareholders after allowing for
value-adding decisions in relation to investment growth –
whether organic or inorganic in nature. In this regard, magnified
by the low cycle business conditions, free cash flow has been
variable leading to some variability in the level of dividend
payments over recent periods.
In relation to the 2013 year, after declaring a 2012 full year
dividend of 10 cents per share, fully franked, the interim 2014
dividend was lower at 5 cents, fully franked. The lower interim
dividend, as well as the lower dividend compared with prior
corresponding periods, reflected the fact that free cash flow
was not generated in the first half of 2013, in large part due to
a $118.4 million taxation payment in respect of 2012 earnings.
Directors determined to pay a smaller interim dividend on the
expectation that free cash flow would be generated in the
second half, a situation which occurred, although on a full year
basis positive cash flow was not generated.
Notwithstanding this, Directors determined to declare a final
dividend for 2013 of 4 cents per share, fully franked, representing
100 per cent of the free cash flow generated in the second half of
the year. This decision was taken on the basis of free cash flow
generated in the second half not being required for investing or
balance sheet purposes.
In February 2014 I announced the appointment of new non-
executive Director, Marcelo Bastos, to the Board. Marcelo
brings extensive minerals operational and technical experience,
including in the development and operation of major projects
in numerous international jurisdictions. I am confident his
experience will complement and extend the current skills base
of the Iluka Board.
In closing, and on behalf of my fellow Directors, I would like to
pass on my sincere thanks to John Pizzey for his contribution as
a Director and, subsequently, Chairman of Iluka. John served
shareholder interests with distinction during a transformative
period in the mineral sands industry. His deep international
resource and minerals processing industry experience together
with his judgment, insight and guidance have been invaluable to
Board deliberations. We wish him well for the future.
I would also like to acknowledge the efforts and dedication of all
Iluka employees, as well as contractors, in tough circumstances.
It is at the bottom of the cycle that the calibre and mettle of a
company’s human capital comes to the fore. This has been most
evident to the Board in the area of health and safety with the
commitment and performance of Iluka’s people approaching
global industry best practice levels.
During a difficult period the Board considers your interests as
shareholders have been well served.

MANAGING
DIRECTOR’S
REVIEW
Adjusting production in line with demand is, I believe, the right
approach for this company in this industry. Despite significantly
lower prices realised in 2013, pricing levels for all of Iluka’s main
products in 2013 remain above the levels achieved in the last
year of reduced demand, 2009. We have protected unit margins
to the extent practicable in a competitive industry and are well
leveraged, in both profit and cash flow terms, to returning
demand and growing volumes.
Mineral sands market conditions
Zircon demand recovered in 2013, albeit the nature of the demand
recovery was uneven across markets and end use sectors and
was, in aggregate, somewhat inconsistent quarter to quarter
throughout the course of 2013. Iluka sold 73 per cent more zircon
volume in 2013 (refer chart on page 8) than 2012, although price
competitiveness meant that the weighted average selling price
for 2013 was approximately half 2012 levels.
China, as the major global zircon consumer, imported higher
volumes in 2013 than in each of the preceding three years and
so, even allowing for varying levels of inventories typically held by
producers and downstream customers in China, it appears that
China’s underlying demand characteristics did not deteriorate
structurally in 2013 as some hypothesised would occur.
Demand in other parts of the world, notably Europe and the
European ceramic exports markets in the Middle East and
North Africa; in India, Japan and parts of South-East Asia, was
generally subdued. North American demand was supported by
industrial applications such as in precision casting, as well as
a strengthening of the US economy and a recovery in the US
housing market. Factors influencing demand in other markets
varied. In India, for example, which had been a fast growing
zircon market for Iluka in 2011, the depreciation of the domestic
currency made imports more expensive while a protracted strike
in a major ceramics producing province in the country, depressed
demand in this important, emerging market. South East Asian
demand was patchy and below usual levels reflecting weaker
economic conditions.
David Robb, Managing Director
Iluka’s principal objective is to create and deliver value for
shareholders. We aim to achieve this objective while at all
times staying true to our values of commitment, integrity and
responsibility. In line with both our objective and values we are
focused on environment, health and safety performance. And we
know that to succeed in the long term the company must continue
to attract high quality people, provide development opportunities
for existing employees and maintain a commitment to diversity
and sustainability principles. Our objective, values and principles
are enduring and are not diminished by either favourable or
unfavourable business cycles.
Mineral sands market conditions were again challenging in 2013.
We believe these conditions reflect a cyclical low in business
conditions within our industry, impacting both zircon and titanium
dioxide markets and influenced by factors which have been
referred to by the company previously: macro-economic conditions
and global political uncertainties; fragile business and customer
confidence levels; inventory drawdown dynamics; competition
between suppliers in a sustained low demand environment and
also the final evolution of titanium dioxide markets away from low
priced legacy contract arrangements.
Despite production cutbacks by Iluka and others, these factors led
to a marked fall in zircon and titanium feedstock prices in 2013,
as reflected in the table shown on page 21. As we entered 2014,
some further minor erosion of prices occurred but it is Iluka’s
view that “volumes lead prices” and so as demand returns and
volumes recover, prices will stabilise and then, potentially, could
increase again.

ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
In high grade titanium dioxide markets, typically encompassing
Iluka’s products of rutile and synthetic rutile, the major end use
remained chloride pigment production. A focus by major western
pigment producers on reducing pigment inventories in 2012 led to
historically low pigment plant operating yields, which continued
through the first half of 2013. In this context, a preference for
lower grade titanium dioxide feedstocks and/or those available
under lower priced legacy contracts meant that demand for
Iluka’s higher grade feedstocks remained subdued in late 2012
and 2013. Iluka sold 20 per cent less rutile and synthetic rutile
combined in 2013 compared with 2012, and 2013 sales were at
a level less than half the 2011 combined sales volumes of these
products. With very low volumes required, price declines followed
- price makers can become price takers in such conditions.
Weighted average rutile and synthetic rutile prices in 2013 were
approximately 45 per cent of 2012 weighted average pricing
outcomes.
Iluka’s production response
Iluka’s view is that the lower demand we have seen recently is
mainly a result of global economic and cyclical industry business
conditions. Our belief is also that the lower demand environment
was primarily a cyclical issue, not a structural issue, for our
industry. Most industries investigate and adopt over time more
efficient production methods and cheaper inputs where possible.
Mineral sands is no different, but the effect in this area, in my
view is often overstated. For example zircon loadings (“intensity
of use”) in ceramic tiles have been reducing for around thirty
years, despite which global demand has grown consistently –
so what some have referred to in recent times as thrifting and
substitution is not a new phenomenon. In fact, a positive turning
point may be upon us given the recent detailed ceramics tile
analysis the company conducted suggests that zircon loadings
across varying types of tile types in different geographies have
increased year-on-year and that new technologies such as digital
printing may be a positive, not negative, factor in future demand.
With a focus on medium and long term supply/demand outlooks,
Iluka’s approach is to exercise what we term production flexibility.
Simply put, the company seeks to match production to demand in
low demand environments rather than seek to displace others.
This approach entailed a build of inventory in 2012 as initial
production adjustments were made. Entering 2013 further
measures to reduce both production and capital expenditure
were implemented in a manner designed to maximise cash flow
but protect the company’s capacity to benefit from future volume
recovery and growth opportunities. Iluka’s zircon production was
52 per cent lower than 2011 levels, while rutile and synthetic rutile
production was 67 per cent lower than 2011 levels. This major
operational response to a cyclical low in market demand was
seen as appropriate to progressively draw down finished goods
inventory, conserve cash through lowering overall production
costs, while maintaining the capacity to respond quickly to market
demand recovery. Iluka’s 2013 cash cost of production of $376
million, excluding one-off restructuring costs of $69 million,
was a 40 per cent reduction from 2011 cash production costs.
On a unit of production basis, some inefficiencies have flowed
from markedly lower utilisation levels, reflected by higher unit
production costs in 2013 than in previous periods.
Iluka’s production response measures are conveyed later in
this Report, and have entailed idling the last operating synthetic
rutile kiln, and running mineral processing capacity in Australia
at reduced capacity. Regrettably, the major reconfiguration in
operations resulted in approximately 250 people being made
redundant during 2013.
It is likely that production settings in 2014 will remain similar
to 2013, including no planned synthetic rutile kiln operation
being envisaged at this stage. Iluka has idled one of its mining
operations, Concord, in Virginia and will operate the remaining
mine, Brink, with lower mineral separation plant utilisation.
The company’s approach should enable a further draw down in
finished goods inventory levels in 2014, and a likely stabilisation
and then reduction in concentrate inventories. Iluka retains the
ability to rapidly re-activate production capacity, as required,
including synthetic rutile production.

MANAGING
DIRECTOR’S
REVIEW
Market outlook
Sustainability
A core aspect of what we refer to internally as “Iluka’s Game
Plan” is a commitment to sustainability. In 2013, areas of
progress included:
n
the rehabilitation of over 950 hectares of land during the
year (compared with a prior four year average of 425
hectares per annum);
establishment of a major research partnership with the
University of Western Australia in the area of Vegetation
Science and Biogeography with significant research goals
towards conservation and restoration of biodiversity;
further improvement in health and safety performance.
As an example, the total recordable injury frequency rate
declined, recorded at 4.6 per million hours, while the lost
time injury frequency rate (the number of days lost per
million days worked) was 0.3. Both figures represent a
very pleasing improvement towards best practice levels
of performance and reflect a company-wide safety
production leadership programme;
a more diverse workforce as assessed against the four
focus areas in Iluka: age distribution, opportunities for
people with disabilities, gender diversity and indigenous
employment. Progress is being made with, for example,
females comprising over 40 per cent of all new employees
recruited in 2013, across the full spectrum of operational,
professional and functional roles; and

Iluka approach to sustainability goals and the means to achieve
them will continue to evolve but will be centred on an approach
to environmental management and stakeholder engagement
we term “proactivity”, which encourages employees to operate
beyond the minimum legal compliance and company policy
levels where possible and practicable to do so. Iluka will also
be investigating social responsibility frameworks which adopt
pertinent Global Reporting Initiative measures.
Recent industry volatility makes forecasting difficult, particularly
the nature and timing of clear inflection points in demand or,
indeed, supply. Hindsight is perhaps the only really accurate
‘sight’ available at such times. It is apparent, though, that at the
time of writing many factors typically indicative of, or precursors
to, demand recovery are in place. These include:
n
in
generally more positive expectations for global economic
growth (and the indicators that flow from this), including
continued strengthening in the US economy, China growth
continuing at recent levels and the beginnings of a modest
recovery in the Eurozone;
unequivocally positive
the United States
trends
housing sector, including housing starts, housing pricing
and remodelling activity, all of which are important lead
indicators for paint, pigment and high grade titanium
dioxide markets. When combined with pigment producer
commentary of a draw down in pigment inventories to more
usual levels, these collectively can be seen as very positive
indicators; and
increases in China floor space starts, tile production, real
estate lending and housing sales – all of which can be
expected to a have flow on to ceramic and zircon demand
in the context, in Iluka’s assessment, of low inventories of
zircon raw material being held by Iluka’s direct customers
in China.
n
n
Medium term demand fundamentals for mineral sands remain
favourable: the trends of urbanisation; increased per capita
income and consumption levels in developing economies; and the
increasing array of end applications for mineral sands products,
underpin a favourable outlook. While on the supply-side, a limited
amount of new production may become evident in the short term,
the medium term outlook remains one of few new, credible,
high quality sources of supply, especially of zircon or high grade
titanium dioxide products. In addition, existing major producers,
including Iluka, have decisions to make about replacing or
sustaining existing operations and hence committing fresh capital
to an industry with volatile returns, at least recently. Iluka, for
one, remains focussed on generating acceptable returns for
shareholders and views its own decisions in this context.

Mineral Resources increased by 56.0 million tonnes of heavy mineral, net of mining depletion and adjustments (sale, relinquishment,
exploration discovery and development and write-downs).
Ore Reserves Cover (Ore Reserves divided by annual depletion) is approximately 10 years at 2013 depletion rates (a lower than usual
year of depletions), while the amount of Mineral Resources (which is inclusive of Ore Reserves) is approximately 6 times the Ore
Reserve level.

ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Atlantic Seaboard, Virginia / North Carolina,
United States
Ore Reserves in the United States decreased by 0.3 million
tonnes of heavy mineral. Mining depletion (0.3 million tonnes) and
write-downs were offset slightly by 0.1 million tonnes of
increased ore reserves at the Hickory deposit with the acquisition
of additional leases.
Mineral Resources increased marginally. Mining depletions were
largely offset by increased resources at Hickory, Old Hickory,
Brink and Aurelian Springs deposits as a result of the additional
leases and updated resource estimates.
Sri Lanka
Mineral Resources of 56.2 million tonnes of heavy mineral were
recorded as a result of Iluka being granted four Sri Lankan
exploration tenements and acquiring Sri Lankan based PKD
Resources (Pvt) Ltd, the holder of an additional exploration
tenement.
Eucla Basin, South Australia
Eucla Basin Ore Reserves decreased by 0.7 million tonnes of
heavy mineral, principally associated with mining depletion from
the Jacinth deposit.
Eucla Basin Mineral Resources increased by 1.4 million tonnes of
heavy mineral as mining depletion at Jacinth (0.7 million tonnes)
and write-downs were offset by increased inferred heavy
mineral resources.
Perth Basin, Western Australia
Ore Reserves in the Perth Basin decreased by 0.2 million tonnes
of heavy mineral, inclusive of mining depletion from the Eneabba
and Tutunup South deposits.
Perth Basin Mineral Resources decreased by 0.9 million tonnes
due to mining and updated resource estimates at the Tutunup,
Cataby and Scotts’ deposits.
Murray Basin, Victoria / New South Wales
Murray Basin Ore Reserves decreased by 1.1 million tonnes of heavy
mineral due to mining depletion at the Woornack, Rownack and Pirro
deposits (0.8 million tonnes of heavy mineral) and write-offs.
Mineral Resources decreased by 0.8 million tonnes of heavy
mineral with mining depletions and write-offs partially offset
by the addition of the Manly heavy mineral resource (0.6 million
tonnes of heavy mineral).

OPERATIONAL
REVIEW
Iluka implemented major operational adjustments in 2013, reflecting the company’s approach to operate assets
flexibly and in line with market demand. This resulted in lower overall production, as conveyed on page 8 which
in turn led to a drawdown of finished goods inventory for zircon and rutile, although heavy mineral concentrate
built during the year as a result of a focus on balancing unit costs with inventory objectives.

zircon production.
Cash production costs declined appreciably year-on-year and are
at lower levels than in years of more typical production. Iluka
maintains a capability to respond rapidly through reactivating
capacity, as market demand recovers. Overall, mineral sands
production (zircon, rutile, synthetic rutile and ilmenite) in 2013
was approximately 30 per cent below 2012 levels, a year also
of constrained production, and around 40 per cent below 2010-
2011 levels, years of more usual operational settings
Australian operations
Iluka’s two mineral separation plants in Australia operated
at reduced capacity during the year. The Narngulu, Western
Australia, mineral separation plant operated at approximately
45 per cent capacity during the year through idling plant 1 from
April and reducing plant 2 utilisation to below 50 per cent. The
Hamilton, Murray Basin mineral separation plant operated on a
one-month-on, one-month-off basis in the first half of the year,
followed by continuous operation from July to October before
being idled at the end of the year. The constraining of processing
capacity, as opposed to major changes in mining rates, was the
major factor that reduced overall production.
Mining at Jacinth-Ambrosia in South Australia and the Woornack,
Rownack, Pirro deposits in the Murray Basin was at full capacity
during in the year. This approach, especially with lower prevailing
zircon prices, optimised unit cash costs of production for heavy
mineral concentrate. Shipping of heavy mineral concentrate
from Jacinth-Ambrosia to Narngulu and Hamilton ceased in the
first half of the year to reduce cash expenditure. This resulted
in elevated volumes of heavy mineral concentrate stocks being
built at the Jacinth-Ambrosia site.
An improvement in demand in some zircon markets resulted in the
draw-down zircon finished goods inventories. Recommencement
of limited shipment of heavy mineral concentrate from Jacinth-
Ambrosia to either the Narngulu or Hamilton mineral separation

ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
plants in the second half of the year facilitated the restocking of
parts of the logistics chain. Heavy mineral concentrate feed for
the Hamilton mineral separation plant was also adjusted to a
higher proportion of Jacinth-Ambrosia material (approximately
20 per cent) to produce additional zircon final product.
Synthetic rutile kiln 2 in South West Western Australia was idled
in June 2013, as planned. Of Iluka’s four kilns, this was the
remaining kiln operational during the year (synthetic rutile kiln
3 in Narngulu, Western Australia was idled in December 2012)
and as such, no synthetic rutile was produced in the second half
of the year. The Eneabba and Tutunup South mines in Western
Australia were idled from April and June 2013, respectively. The
synthetic rutile 2 kiln and the Tutunup South mine are expected to
remain idled in 2014. Both can be reactivated rapidly as demand
recovers.
United States operation
Iluka’s Virginia operations were idled over Christmas and
New Year period in 2012/13 with operations recommencing in
February.
During the year, the Concord mining unit was moved as planned
in the September quarter. Mining at both the Concord and Brink
deposits was in lower grade areas, resulting in the Stony Creek
mineral separation plant operating below capacity.
Stronger 2013 market demand for zircon compared with a lower
requirement for ilmenite (as anticipated at the end of 2012)
resulted in increased ilmenite stocks and a decision to defer
the scheduled Concord mining unit move, idle that plant and
rely on the Brink mining operation for required heavy mineral
concentrate production. This action occurred subsequent to the
end of 2013 in early 2014.

MARKET
CONDITIONS
Demand for zircon and titanium dioxide products was at, or close to, a cyclical low over
2012 and 2013. While a recovery was evident across some markets during 2013, fragile business
confidence as well as ongoing economic uncertainty, especially in Europe, contributed to an uneven
pattern of demand across Iluka’s main products, sales regions and end markets relative to 2012.
The global zircon market partially recovered in 2013, although
demand growth was uneven across regions and end applications.
Solid sales were recorded in China, the largest market for zircon,
mainly reflecting demand from the ceramics sector as underlying
demand in the tile market was robust. A feature towards the end
of the year was that zircon sand inventories held by customers
in China were again at low levels, with customers continuing
to order on an “as required” basis and with some holding
back from buying activities as prices softened marginally.
The traditional low season (December to Chinese New Year),
means muted buying activity is expected early in 2014.
There was little improvement in demand in the zirconium
chemicals market in 2013, due to weak export markets for China
production.
influenced by
North American demand, mainly
industrial
applications such as precision casting, as well as ceramic tile
and sanitary ware applications, aided by a recovery in the United
States economy and housing market, was generally stable.
Working capital decisions by several US customers resulted in
the rescheduling of some ordering expected in the second half
of 2013, but overall, as with China, North American demand has
been solid.
Demand in other regions remained subdued, including Europe,
and its ceramic exports markets in the Middle East was weak,
as it was in North Africa, Brazil, India, Japan and parts of South-
East Asia.
Iluka principally sells into the high grade titanium dioxide market,
of which pigment producers account for over 90 per cent of end
demand. At the beginning of 2013, pigment inventories held by
most major western pigment producers were highly elevated as
a result of weak demand in 2012. Over the course of the year
these inventories were progressively drawn down as pigment
plant yields were as low as 60-75 per cent, relative to usual
operating levels of around 90 per cent. Lower grade titanium
feedstocks were favoured during this period, while feedstocks
sold under remaining lower priced legacy contracts further
reduced demand for Iluka’s higher grade products. By the end
of the year, public commentary by pigment producers indicated
that pigment inventories were approaching normal levels. As a
result, while still subject to downstream markets (paints and
coatings demand), ordering patterns for high grade titanium
feedstock are expected to recover.
The titanium metal and welding markets also displayed weak
demand in 2013.
Mineral sands prices
Iluka’s weighted average received zircon price commenced 2013
materially lower than the weighted average 2012 levels and
remained stable for much of the year before softening slightly
in the fourth quarter. Iluka’s weighted average zircon price for
2013 of US$1,150 per tonne was 44 per cent lower than the
weighted average 2012 level.
Lower demand for high grade titanium products and competitive
pricing behaviour led to material reductions in prices from
levels in 2012. Iluka’s weighted average rutile price declined 56
per cent to US$1,069 per tonne and the synthetic rutile price
declined 35 per cent to US$1,150 per tonne.

Mineral sands sales by region
The international geographical distribution of Iluka’s mineral
sands revenues is typically reasonably balanced. In 2013,
revenues have been skewed towards China, mainly reflecting the
relatively robust zircon demand in this market. The lower demand
in Europe and the Americas, mainly reflects lower demand
for high grade feedstocks from traditional pigment producer
customers in these locations, as well as lower European demand
for zircon reflecting market conditions in this region and for its
export markets.

GROWTH
Iluka’s approach to growth is focussed on creating and delivering shareholder value by utilising
the company’s expertise and existing assets, as well as pursuing new opportunities. The following
are the main areas of Iluka’s growth focus.
NEW PROJECTS
Advancing internal projects to provide options to
extend and/or increase mineral sands production.
EXPLORATION
Providing the platform for future growth by replacing
and growing the company’s resources and reserves,
as well as utilising the company’s existing tenement
holding and expanding to new regions and commodities
to generate potential new development opportunities.
INNOVATION
AND TECHNOLOGY
Enhancing the returns generated from Iluka’s resource
and production base as well as identifying and advancing
new technologies.
ACQUISITIONS
Assessment of external mineral sands and non-mineral
sands acquisition, partnering or investment opportunities.
Any decision to proceed is based on acquisition criteria
that relate to financial metrics (return, cash flow profile,
payback), quality of asset, level of risk and fit with
existing Iluka business.
22
22
ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
New Projects
Iluka progressed several internal mineral sands projects during 2013. Each of these projects
provides the company with options to extend or increase production. Final investment decisions
will be based on strict financial criteria and a consideration of market supply/demand conditions.
Hickory, Virginia, United States
The Hickory mineral sands deposits are lower grade than those
mined to date, but contain high quality chloride ilmenite and
associated zircon products and are located close to Iluka’s
existing Stony Creek mineral separation plant.
The definitive feasibility study for the project was completed in
December 2012. In 2013, detailed engineering was completed for
the concentrator and mine, construction bids were received from
contractors, operating permits were advanced and investment
incentives secured from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Work is
continuing to optimise the mine and tailings plan, finalise designs
and secure mining permits.
Aurelian Springs, North Carolina, United States
The Aurelian Springs project comprises the potential development
of several mineral sands deposits in Halifax County, North
Carolina, approximately 90 kilometres south of Iluka’s Stony
Creek mineral separation plant. The deposits contain high quality
chloride, sulphate ilmenite and zircon. Currently, it is proposed
that Iluka will utilise existing infrastructure by relocating the
Concord mining unit and concentrator plant to the site.
The pre-feasibility study was completed in 2013 and confirmed
that ilmenite from the deposits is suitable for use in both the
chloride pigment manufacturing process and the sulphate
pigment manufacturing process. This significantly increases the
marketability of the product.
The definitive feasibility study work is underway and includes the
acquisition of the remaining land, securing of permits, detailing
the work plan for relocation of the mine and concentrator, and
developing a detailed cost estimate and time schedule.
West Balranald and Nepean, Murray Basin,
New South Wales
West Balranald and Nepean are two rutile-rich mineral sands
deposits in the northern Murray Basin, New South Wales.
If approved for development, the two deposits have potential
to provide for approximately eight years of rutile, zircon and
associated ilmenite fractions.
During 2013, the pre-feasibility study for the project was
completed and a definitive feasibility study commenced.
This study is a two part exercise that will initially confirm
hydrogeological models through an extensive pilot programme
and complete additional detailed mining simulations, followed
by detailed engineering required for project execution. Ilmenite
from the deposits continues to be assessed for its suitability as
a synthetic rutile feed. Impact assessments and stakeholder
consultation has continued, as has progressing the necessary
regulatory approvals. An innovative alternative mining method is
also being assessed for the region.
Cataby, Western Australia
Cataby is a mineral sands deposit, located north of Perth.
The deposit contains chloride ilmenite but is also expected to
produce material volumes of zircon.
The pre-feasibility study on the deposit was completed, as
planned, in mid-2013. Subsequent to the completion of the pre-
feasibility study, approvals and funding were provided by the
Board to commence a definitive feasibility study. This study is
intended to be completed in 2014.
Sonoran, Atacama and Typhoon, Eucla Basin,
South Australia
The Sonoran, Atacama and Typhoon deposits are chloride ilmenite
and zircon bearing satellite deposits located in close proximity
to Iluka’s current Jacinth-Ambrosia operation. Chloride ilmenite
from these deposits is expected to be suitable as a feed source
to Iluka’s synthetic rutile kilns or for direct sale.
Over the year, the pre-feasibility study for the development of
these deposits was progressed and is scheduled for completion
in 2014. Innovative mining and processing design work is
included in the scope of the pre-feasibility study.
23
GROWTH
Iluka maintains a well-resourced and highly capable exploration function, and views exploration success and
associated resource and reserve growth, as fundamental to the sustainability and growth the business. Iluka has an
exploration team of 50 individuals, including geologists, geophysicists, drilling engineers, tenements/land personnel.
In Australia, Iluka has a large tenement holding of over 50 thousand square kilometres. International exploration
activities now encompass early stage reconnaissance through to tenement acquisition and drilling in 11 countries.
The company’s Project Generation team seeks to identify new search spaces for mineral sands internationally. Iluka
possesses its own internal drilling capability.
24
24
Exploration
In recent years, following the delineation and development
of new operations in the Eucla Basin and Murray Basin, the
exploration effort has become predominantly greenfield in
orientation. Iluka will continue to explore in the Perth, Eucla and
Murray Basins, though increasingly exploration activities will be
focused in other Australian and international areas. In 2013,
Iluka significantly increased its exploration outside of Australia,
with drilling programs undertaken in the United States and Brazil
and early stage reconnaissance in Africa and Asia.
Iluka also recognises the potential to create value
for
shareholders via non-mineral sands deposits on its tenement
holdings within Australia and elsewhere and recently established
a dedicated capability to assess other than mineral sands
opportunities on its tenements and as part of tenement acquisition

Iluka holds the majority of exploration tenements in the Eucla
Basin, the location of Iluka’s Jacinth-Ambrosia operation.
The company’s tenements cover an area of approximately 36
thousand square kilometres.
2013 exploration activity in the Eucla Basin included:
n
over 35 thousand metres of drilling on Eucla Basin
tenements with 90 per cent of that drilling on greenfields
targets. Greenfields exploration drilling primarily focussed
on the following areas: the Bay of Plenty, to the east of
Atacama/Sonoran, the Yumburra region, Immarna North,
and southwest of the Mojave prospect;
brownfield exploration drilling within 20 kilometres of
Jacinth-Ambrosia, approximately 10 per cent of total
drilling, and focussed immediately north and east of the
Atacama deposit; and
interpretation of earlier drilling data for the Atacama
deposit which led to the reporting of resources from
two new strands delineated on the western side of the
Atacama deposit, reflected in the Mineral Resources
section of this Report.

In 2014, Iluka will continue exploration in the Eucla Basin with
follow up drilling on a number of mineralised targets identified
in 2013.
Iluka’s second main area of current exploration commitment
is on the company’s Murray Basin tenement holdings across
Victoria, eastern South Australia and south west New South
Wales. Over 23 thousand metres of drilling on Murray Basin
tenements was completed with more than 90 per cent focussed
on greenfield activities.
The 2013 exploration activities included:
n
exploration in Victoria, focussed in East Gippsland to test
new areas where Iluka is seeking to locate stratigraphy
suitable for hosting mineral sands and in the north west
portion of the Murray Basin;
greenfield exploration undertaken to assess new targets
in south eastern South Australia along the western margin
and central portions of the Murray Basin; and
mineral resource delineation programs continuing on the
West Balranald deposits as part of studies for the potential
development of these large rutile-dominated deposits.

GROWTH
Innovation and technology
Iluka views investment in mineral sands innovation and technology as important to maximising the
value created from existing operations, enabling the development of non-traditional mineral sands
projects and introducing new products to enhance customers’ production processes and final products.
The company has a dedicated team of industry and technical experts to further work in these areas.

ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Iluka also contributes to the work of the Zircon Industry
Association (ZIA), an independent body promoting the benefits
and use of zircon through industry collaboration, product
support, innovation, research and market development. Iluka is
represented on the Board and on various technical committees
and believes the ZIA has the ability to advance the interests
of participants at all levels of the zircon value chain. The ZIA
also fosters linkages with other industry bodies, research
and academic institutions. Over the year, the ZIA focussed
into technologically advanced and emerging
on research
applications of zircon, ceramic applications and addressing
sustainability and regulatory issues relating to zircon use.
In 2014, the ZIA intends to further investigate potential new
zircon applications and support emerging markets.
In February 2014, Iluka announced that it had concluded an
Investment Agreement with the private, UK based, Metalysis
Limited for an interest of 18.3 per cent of the company. Iluka’s
involvement as a major shareholder and funding partner provides
access to a new, potentially disruptive technology which is close
to commercialisation, and the potential benefits of a new source
of high grade titanium dioxide feedstock demand.
Several projects were progressed over the year as well as
research continuing in the areas of mining technology and
product development.
In 2013, Iluka undertook pilot trials for the production of Acid
Soluble Synthetic Rutile (ASSR), including production at a test
facility in Europe. This involved utilising Murray Basin ilmenite
and different coal blends under varying operational settings and
followed on from test work conducted in Iluka kiln facilities in
Australia. Samples of the material were provided to a selection
of customers for their initial evaluation. Iluka’s decision to idle
its synthetic rutile capacity has meant a more extensive trial
has been deferred. Technical and commercial evaluation will
recommence when market conditions warrant.
Investigations on the processing of the fine grained Murray
Basin deposits also continued. Test work performed at the Iluka
research facilities focussed on traditional technologies used
in the mineral sands industry, as well as alternative process
technologies to concentrate and separate the fine grained
heavy minerals, including those that contain elevated levels of
radioactive elements.
Other work over the year included research into new mineral
sands mining techniques to assist with the development of
non-traditional deposits, investigation on improved and more
cost-effective methods to handle mining by-products, and
the expansion of capabilities at Iluka’s metallurgical testing
facility, enabling investigation of a wider range of mineral sands
materials and end products.

SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
Iluka is committed to operating in a sustainable manner
The company believes operating in a sustainable and responsible manner contributes to its primary
objective: to create and deliver value for shareholders. In practice, this means consideration of
environmental, social and economic implications prior to, throughout and following the closure of
operations. This is central to Iluka’s licence to operate and underpins the future growth of the business.
Iluka’s environmental, social and economic performance is
overseen by the Board and is supported by a management
system that defines how the company will deliver its business
objectives, and the framework within which its employees and
contractors are expected to work. Iluka’s senior management
are accountable for delivering sustainability objectives.
Iluka’s sustainability objectives are to achieve:
n
high levels of environmental, health and safety
performance;
n
n
sound planning, control and risk management systems;
and
stakeholder relationships which, over time, are mutually
beneficial.

ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Health and Safety
The health and safety of Iluka’s employees, contractors and visitors to Iluka’s sites is a priority.
Contractor management
Contractors are an integral part of Iluka’s business. An initiative
to improve the company’s management of contractors was
initiated in February 2012 and continued in 2013. The objectives
of the programme are to:
n
standardise business processes regarding contractor
pre-qualification;
validate sustainability systems, commitments and
performance of approved contractors; and
conduct audits on identified contractors conducting high-risk
work to ensure their on-going suitability to perform work.
n
n
Further auditing of contractors conducting high-risk works,
pre-qualification of new contractors onto Iluka’s approved
supplier list and ongoing evaluation of contractor performance
were carried out
improvements to
in 2013. Appropriate
contractor practices will be embedded into Iluka’s procedural
systems in 2014.
Iluka’s primary safety measures, in accordance with industry
practice, include: lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) and total
recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR). The relative severity of
injuries is tracked by means of a severity rate, a measure not
normally employed in the industry. The company also measures
a series of proactive or leading measures, such as the number
of safety visits and planned workplace inspections as well as
hazard cards. Health and safety performance is reported to the
Board on a monthly basis.
In 2013, Iluka achieved strong year-on-year improvements and
met its internal targets. The lost time injury frequency rate for
Iluka reduced from 1.9 in 2012 down to 0.3 at the end of 2013.
Similarly, the total recordable injury frequency rate decreased
from 10.5 in 2012 to 4.6. The severity rate decreased by 28 per cent.
For further statistical information, refer to page 136.
Safe Production Leadership programme
In 2011, the company established the Safe Production Leadership
(SPL) programme with the aim of improving the company’s safety
culture and performance. Since its inception, approximately 200
employees and contractors have completed Iluka’s leadership
skills training.
The performance improvements on the metrics of LTIFR and
TRIFR since the implementation of SPL highlight the success
of the programme. Iluka’s LTIFR has improved from 4.1 in April
2011 to 0.3 at the end of December 2013. In the period, the TRIFR
started at 16.1 and improved to 4.6, a 71.4 per cent reduction.

SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
Environment
Iluka’s approach to environmental management is based on understanding and minimising
potential impacts of its operations on the environment. It also includes developing effective
plans for the cessation of operations and rehabilitation of disturbed areas, and using resources
efficiently.
The company’s environment, health and safety management
system governs how potential environmental impacts are
managed throughout all phases of Iluka’s operations - from
exploration through to mine closure. Each operational site has
its own management plan that identifies and mitigates risks
unique to that operating environment.
The company has in-house environment and rehabilitation
professionals responsible for identification and management of
Iluka’s environmental risks, with performance reported to the
Board on a monthly basis.
Iluka recognises that compliance with legislative requirements is
the minimum standard that it should achieve while performing at
or beyond legal requirements is means of achieving operational
efficiency, competitive advantage and industry leadership.
In 2013, the key areas of environmental performance and risk
management included:
n environmental incident reporting, investigation and
management;
Environmental incident reporting

environmental incidents, which are then classified according to
the severity of the potential impact to the environment. Level 1
incidents have no or minimal impact, and Level 5 incidents have
the greatest potential cumulative impact over time. The number
of incidents being reported has increased steadily, which the
company considers a positive indication of a culture prepared
to report a range of incidents. In 2013, the number of incidents
classified Level 3 and above was 57, similar to the level in 2012,
however fewer level 4 incidents were reported. Investigations

ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Land management and rehabilitation
Land management, rehabilitation and closure activities are
a major focus in the mine planning phase and constitute a
significant, ongoing part of the company’s activities.
Iluka’s practices are guided by standards and procedures
within its environment, health and safety management system.
Rehabilitation efforts are aligned with accepted
leading
practice, applicable legislation and undertaken in a socially and
environmentally responsible manner.
During 2013, Iluka rehabilitated1 957 hectares of land which
represents a 54 per cent increase when compared with 619
hectares rehabilitated in 2012. The main locations where
rehabilitation activity occurred
include Iluka’s Mid West
operations in Western Australia and in the Murray Basin in
Victoria, since mining was completed at the Eneabba, Kulwin,
Echo and Douglas deposits during 2012. Rehabilitation at Iluka’s
Lulaton operation in Florida, United States, has been completed,
seven years post mining. The company’s mining permit was
relinquished in December 2013. The table below provides details
of a range of rehabilitation activities and progress at Iluka’s
sites in 2013.
Overview of rehabilitation activities3
New disturbance is 48 per cent lower at 572 hectares in 2013
compared with 1,097 hectares in 2012, with the major earth-
moving works completed at Woornack, Rownack and Pirro
(Murray Basin) and Eneabba (Perth Basin) in the previous year.
The provision of access tracks as part of Iluka’s exploration
activities is the major contributor to new disturbance of
277 hectares, and further development in the Murray Basin
accounted for 191 hectares of land clearing.
Iluka’s land use for exploration has increased steadily and
accounts for approximately 20 per cent of Iluka’s total area of
land open (total disturbed area). This reflects the company’s
broader exploration strategy with reconnaissance and drilling
programmes occurring globally, in particular, in South America
and Sri Lanka, as well as a proportion of land having completed
rehabilitation however still defined as open area until the
tenement is relinquished.2

Iluka Chair in Vegetation Science and Biogeography
In 2013, Iluka formed a partnership with The University of
Western Australia (UWA) to research and restore areas of
kwongan heathland near Eneabba in the Mid West, Western
Australia, at one of Iluka’s mining and processing operations.
As part of the partnership, Iluka sponsors the Iluka Chair in
Vegetation Science and Biogeography at UWA’s School of Plant
Biology. The five-year commitment is valued at $1.3 million.
The appointed Iluka Chair, Winthrop Professor1 Ladislav Mucina,
is an internationally recognised vegetation scientist, researching
the ecology, classification, and mapping of vegetation. His
research as Iluka Chair has commenced with investigation
of the assembly rules that govern kwongan vegetation. This
investigation aims to improve the understanding of how
functional groups of species respond to natural disturbance
like drought and fire, which will improve species selection for
resilient rehabilitation. The research also focuses on descriptive
vegetation science, ecological and evolutionary assembly in
plant communities, as well as the conservation and restoration
of biodiversity in species rich shrub-lands around the world.
In addition to his research, Professor Mucina has eight
postgraduate research students training in various aspects of
this research.
Sponsorship of the UWA Chair enables scientifically based
information and studies to be conducted independently, ensuring
credibility and transparency in an area of research fundamental
to Iluka’s ongoing rehabilitation activities at Eneabba and the
long-term sustainability of kwongan heath.

Energy efficiency
Water management
Iluka recognises the importance of improving its energy
efficiency. Iluka focuses on maintaining and reporting complete,
accurate and transparent energy and carbon data and actively
identifying, assessing and prioritising emissions minimisation
and energy efficiency opportunities.
In 2013, the company progressed its emissions minimisation
strategy as part of its compliance commitments with the
Australian Government’s Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act
2006 (EEO). Energy audits were completed at Iluka’s Mid West
operations in Western Australia, and have commenced at its
South West operations. Four energy saving opportunities were
identified at the Narngulu mineral separation plant in the Mid
West and are subject to further investigation.
Iluka complied with the requirements of the carbon tax, and
completed external reporting and permit surrender obligations.
Settlement of its permit allowances and obligations was
complete in February 2014. Iluka is not expected to have a
carbon permit liability during 2014.
Iluka expects its compliance requirements will change with the
Australian Federal Government’s proposed revision of its energy
efficiency and carbon emissions policy. The company will review
its management of energy and carbon for compliance with new
legislative requirements once passed.
Performance
Iluka’s carbon dioxide emissions were 333 kilotonnes (kt) of
CO2-e, a reduction of 56 per cent from 2012. The major component
of Iluka’s emissions relates to synthetic rutile production. Iluka
has reduced the operation of its synthetic rutile kilns and in 2013
operated just one of its four kilns for a part of the year.
Water is essential to Iluka’s mining, processing and separation
processes. The company uses either fresh water or naturally
occurring hypersaline water in these processes, the latter
defined as water containing dissolved solids in excess of sea
water.
Iluka recycles water where possible and discharges1 are
managed responsibly. Fresh water discharges are performed
within strict licence conditions and excess saline water is
disposed of back into the original source location. Risks to
groundwater resources are managed by monitoring and regular
interpretation of monitoring data is performed by aquifer
reviews.
Iluka’s water use in 2013 was 10,822 megalitres which
represents a decrease of 55.2 per cent from 24,162 megalitres
used in 2012. Lower water use in the year was associated with a
lower level of mining, concentrating and processing operations
in 2013. Discharges were higher, an increase of 32 per cent
compared to 2012. Iluka’s US operations recorded a 191 per
cent increase in water discharges from 2012. Higher rainfall in
Florida and Virginia (46 per cent increase recorded at Virginia
sites), together with reduced holding capacities in process
ponds due to solids accumulation, forced more frequent and
larger volumes to be discharged during the year.

People
Iluka seeks to build and maintain a diverse, sustainable and high performing workforce of
talented people which reflects the communities in which the company operates.
The company encourages employee achievement through the
principles of accountability, commerciality and engagement,
and strives to maintain a work culture that reflects its values
of commitment, integrity and responsibility. This includes a high
standard of health and safety behaviour and the development
of individuals, leaders and teams to achieve extraordinary
performance.
2013 workforce profile

Organisational structure and development
The organisational structure is designed to facilitate the
achievement of the key deliverables of the company’s
corporate planning process and prime objective: to create and
deliver value for shareholders. The Iluka Game Plan provides
cultural and behavioural alignment and all employees, through
their annual performance and development review, are aware
of the contribution they are expected to make in the areas
of financial performance, sustainability and contribution to
organisational growth. Employees’ performance plans also
include a development planning component and the company
facilitates professional development across the company,
as well as adopting internal mechanisms to identify high
performance individuals and to facilitate succession planning
across all levels of the company. Succession planning is in place
for leadership positions, including the Managing Director and
his direct reports.
Iluka is committed to investing in training and development.
In addition to regulatory compliance training, employees
are encouraged and supported to participate in skill and
professional training and leadership development.
The workforce was reduced during 2013 by approximately
250 positions associated with major reconfigurations in the
production base, due to lower demand for Iluka’s mineral sand
products, materially lower pricing outcomes and the company’s
decision to respond to such conditions by flexing, or reducing
overall production levels. This had a direct consequence in
terms of the number of roles required.

ILUKA ANNUAL REPORT 2013
The number of indigenous employees has increased from 2012
to approximately 4 per cent. The majority of these employees
are based at the Jacinth-Ambrosia operation in South Australia.
In 2013, an additional five indigenous people were employed,
with four at the Woornack, Rownack and Pirro mining operation
in Victoria. Iluka’s Narngulu processing operation in Western
Australia hired two indigenous apprentices and two indigenous
trainees as part of the company’s partnership programme with
Clontarf.
Employee volunteering
Iluka’s volunteer leave programme, introduced in 2011, supports
and encourages employees to volunteer their time to community
or charity groups. Every employee in the company is able to take
two paid working days to contribute individually or in teams, to
an organisation that is of direct interest to them.
In 2013, the participation in volunteer leave was 25 per cent
of all employees, compared with 14 per cent in 2012. A total of
246 full time equivalent days were recorded, which equates to a
community donation of approximately $160 thousand.1
1 Calculated at average cost of $80 per hour per employee, including on-costs.

Stakeholder Relations
Iluka recognises that open and meaningful engagement with stakeholders is integral to the
establishment, operation, rehabilitation and relinquishment of its mining and processing facilities.
All engagement activities are conducted in a transparent,
collaborative and consistent manner. Stakeholder rights,
values, beliefs and cultural heritage aspects are acknowledged,
respected and included in the company’s decision making
process in order to develop mutually beneficial relationships.
The company works in partnership with its stakeholders,
including landholders, communities, indigenous groups, non-
government organisations and government representatives to
add value to the regions in which it operates. Iluka’s Stakeholder
Relations Policy was revised in 2013 to maintain alignment with
the Iluka Game Plan and industry best practice. A Stakeholder
Relations Standard was also developed and incorporated in
the Environmental, Health and Safety Management System,
establishing requirements for all sites, projects and functions.
The Policy and Standard outline the company’s principles for
engagement and ensure its business activities are conducted in
consideration of all internal and external stakeholders.
Social impact assessments
Social impact assessments (SIA) were conducted at Iluka’s
Australian Operational sites in 2012. The studies provided the
company with improved understanding of:
n
n
n issues of interest regarding the company’s operations;
the attitude towards and perception of Iluka in communities;
appropriate methods and frequency of communication;
to
In response
the SIA recommendations, stakeholder
engagement plans for operational sites and major projects
were developed during the year. The plans include regulatory
requirements, stakeholder
identification and prioritisation,
engagement activities, methods and frequency. Review of the
stakeholder engagement plans will be undertaken annually or
earlier for milestone activities.
Iluka’s stakeholder complaint recording and resolution
procedure was revised in line with industry best practice and
Iluka’s internal standards. Implementation of the procedure
was completed in 2013 at its Australian operations and project
sites.
Employment and economic contribution
A study of Iluka’s employment and economic contribution was
conducted at its Australian operations. The analysis included
employment, contractor and procurement data and assessed
the direct and indirect contributions at a regional and state level
in Western Australia, South Australia, and Victoria. In total, Iluka
contributed 1,332 direct jobs, 3,838 indirect positions and $1.1
billion in economic value add to the States and regions where it
operates.

Partnering and community investment
Community complaints
In 2013, Iluka’s partnering programme involved an investment of
approximately $450 thousand, and additional in-kind support to
a total of 90 organisations. Iluka’s major corporate partnerships
include:
n OCHRE Contemporary Dance Company, Western Australia;
n
n
n Virginia Tech Foundation Inc. and Virginia Tech Research
Conservation Volunteers; and
Clontarf Foundation;
Division, USA.
Iluka also commenced a five year partnership with the University
of Western Australia to fund a professorial chair for the study
and rehabilitation of areas of kwongan heathland in Western
Australia.
Iluka joined London Benchmarking Group (LBG) Australia and
New Zealand in 2013. LBG is the global standard for measuring
and benchmarking corporate community investment. The LBG
model will allow Iluka to monitor and measure its community
investment inputs (financial and non-financial); outputs and
their impacts; improve its understanding of the community
and business benefits from the investment; and further seek
opportunities that support its business objectives.
The company maintains a community complaint procedure
which tracks all community complaints. These complaints are
addressed and are reported through to the company’s Executive
and the Board of Directors.
Although Iluka strives to contribute positively to the communities
in which it operates, it recognises that at times activities can
impact on the lives of its stakeholders, in particular neighbours
and community groups. Iluka closely monitors its operations
for potential issues and have site-based representatives to
respond to identified, potential or actual impacts with affected
stakeholders and, where required, regulators. In 2013, the
company received 76 public complaints, an increase from 28
in 2012. The majority of the complaints related to operational
matters, including noise and vibration from rail activities and
post-mining land use.

Overburden moved (bank cubic metres) refers to material moved to enable mining of an
ore body.
VHM produced and the VHM assemblage - provided to enable an indication of the
valuable heavy mineral component in HMC.
Ore mined (thousands of tonnes) refers to material moved containing heavy mineral ore.
HMC processed provides an indication of material emanating from each mining operation
Ore Grade HM % refers to percentage of heavy mineral (HM) found in a deposit. In the
case of Murray Basin it excludes grade attributable to low quality, unsaleable ilmenite
which is returned to the mine.
VHM Grade % refers to percentage of valuable heavy mineral (VHM) - titanium dioxide
(rutile and ilmenite), and zircon found in a deposit.
Concentrating refers to the production of heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) through a wet
concentrating process at the mine site, which is then transported for final processing into
finished product at one of the company’s two Australian mineral processing plants, or the
Virginia mineral processing plant.
HMC produced refers to heavy mineral concentrate (HMC), which includes the valuable
heavy mineral concentrate (zircon, rutile, ilmenite) as well as other non valuable heavy
minerals (gangue).
VHM produced refers to an estimate of valuable heavy mineral in heavy mineral
concentrate expected to be processed.
to be processed.
Attributable finished product is provided as an indication of the finished production
(zircon, rutile, ilmenite – both saleable and upgradeable) attributable to the VHM in
HMC production streams from the various mining operations. Finished product levels are
subject to recovery factors which can vary. The difference between the VHM produced
and finished product reflects the recovery level by operation, as well as processing of
finished material/concentrate in inventory. Ultimate finished product production (rutile,
ilmenite, zircon) is subject to recovery loss at the processing stage – this may be in the
order of 10%.
Ilmenite saleable is ilmenite produced for sale rather than as a synthetic rutile feedstock.
Ilmenite upgradeable is that which is used in the manufacture of synthetic rutile. Typically
1 tonne of upgradeable ilmenite will produce between 0.58 to 0.62 tonnes of SR. Iluka
also purchases external ilmenite for its synthetic rutile production process.
Refer Iluka’s website www.iluka.com – Mineral Sands Technical Information for more
detailed information on the mineral sands mining and production process.

The future prospects of the company are dependent on the execution of the company’s business strategies and
by operating and market demand/supply conditions for its principal products.
Further detail surrounding the future prospects for Iluka are detailed in the Growth section on pages 22 to 29 of
the Annual Report.
BUSINESS RISKS AND MITIGATIONS
Iluka maintains a whole of business approach to the management of risks, recognising that prudent risk taking is
a key element of the Iluka Game Plan. This approach allows both opportunities and threats to be identified and
managed effectively. Iluka has adopted a risk management framework which sets out the processes for the
identification and management of risk across the group.
The Board delegates responsibility for identifying and managing risks to management. Management is required
to report to the Board on those risks which could have a material impact on the company’s business. The Audit
and Risk Committee assists the Board with regard to oversight of the company’s risk management practices.
Through its risk management framework Iluka seeks to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
embed a culture of risk awareness and decision making;
identify, assess and manage risks in a structured and systematic manner;
enable prudent risk taking in line with business objectives and strategies;
establish and monitor appropriate controls in line with business objectives and strategies;
ensure material business risks are effectively identified, communicated and appropriately elevated throughout
all levels of management to the Board; and
fulfil governance requirements for risk management.
Set out below are the key risk areas that could have a material impact on the company and its ability to achieve
its objective. The nature and potential impact of risks changes over time. The risks described below are not the
only risks that Iluka faces, and whilst every effort is made to identify and manage material risks, additional risks
not currently identified or detailed below may also adversely affect future performance.
Product demand risks
The resources sector typically exhibits cyclicality. In 2013 Iluka operated in business conditions of cyclically low
demand for its products resulting in lower volumes being sold at lower prices than in 2012. Iluka maintains a risk
based approach to business planning and asset configuration to take account of uncertainties in global economic
performance and the nature of associated demand swings. In this case, Iluka has implemented significant asset
reconfiguration measures as well as seeking to reduce cash expenditure levels.
Financial risks
Iluka faces risks relating to the cost of and access to funds, movement in interest rates and foreign exchange
rates (refer note 17). Iluka maintains a Treasury Policy which establishes the framework and parameters under
which the Treasury function operates. The Policy seeks to ensure all
financial risks are fully recognised,
managed and recorded in a manner consistent with:
•
•
•
Iluka’s Board management philosophy;
generally accepted industry practice and corporate governance standards; and
shareholder expectations of a mineral sands producer.
Any changes to, or breaches of, the Treasury Policy are reported to the Board.
47
Project development risks
Iluka as a matter of business focus, regularly assesses its ability to enhance its production profile, or extend the
economic life of deposits, by the development of new deposits within its portfolio. A failure to develop and operate
projects in accordance with expectations could negatively impact results of operations and the company’s
financial position. A structured capital process and project delivery framework is utilised to facilitate successful
project development and mitigate risks in bringing new projects into operation.
Growth risks
To ensure a sustainable business going forward, Iluka attempts to generate growth options through exploration,
innovation and identification of appropriate external growth opportunities. The ability of Iluka to create and deliver
value for shareholders is to some extent dependent on success in growth strategies.
Evaluating growth opportunities requires a disciplined process of project selection and interrogation to maximise
the opportunity to identify value potential and to achieve desired financial outcomes. This entails established
disciplines and systems to evaluate value opportunities and assess the potential impact of a range of modifying
factors on potential business outcomes.
Country risk
Increasing international activities have increased Iluka’s exposure to country risks. The potential development of
international opportunities can be jeopardised by changes in fiscal or
regulatory regimes, difficulties in
interpreting or complying with local laws and reversal of current political, judicial or administrative policies.
Business interruption risks
Circumstances may arise which preclude sites from operating; including natural disaster, critical plant failure or
industrial action. Iluka’s operations depend on the use of key items of infrastructure; including ports, railways and
roads which are owned and maintained by other parties. Iluka undertakes regular reviews and mitigation of
property and business continuity risks. Iluka also conducts planning and preparedness activities to ensure rapid
and effective response in the event of a crisis. Appropriate business policies and training seek to support Iluka’s
risk mitigation activities.
Social licence to operate risks
An integral part of Iluka’s activities is maintaining a social licence to operate. Iluka’s safety, health, environmental,
people and stakeholder performance is overseen by the Board and is supported by policies and procedures,
including stakeholder engagement risk assessments, which influence how the company will operate.
2013 OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
Iluka recorded a profit after tax for the year of $18.5 million, compared with $363.2 million for the previous
corresponding period.
Sales volumes of zircon, rutile and synthetic rutile (Z/R/SR) increased 19.5 per cent year-on-year finishing 2013
at 584.4 thousand tonnes compared to 488.9 thousand tonnes in 2012. Mineral sands sales revenue for the year
ended 31 December 2013 was $763.1 million (2012: $1,069.8 million). Revenue per tonne of Z/R/SR sold during
2013 declined by 41.1 per cent to $1,173 per tonne, compared with $1,991 per tonne in 2012.
Total cash production costs in 2013 were reduced by 35.5 per cent from 2012 levels to $376.1 million (2012:
$583.5 million). The lower total cash production costs arose from lower utilisation of some assets, a reduction in
employment levels and other cost saving initiatives.
Given the fixed cost component of the business, unit cash costs of production of $798 per tonne of Z/R/SR
reflected some inefficiencies at low production levels when compared with 2012 (2012: $719 per tonne of
Z/R/SR). These inefficiencies can be expected to reverse as production reverts to more usual levels. Unit cash
costs declined in the second half of 2013 to $748 per tonne of Z/R/SR (1st half 2013: $848 per tonne), reflecting
13.7 per cent lower cash production costs in the second half, following the idling of the Tutunup South mine and
synthetic rutile (SR) kiln 2 in Western Australia in the first half.
Total cash production costs exclude restructure and idle costs, which amounted to $69.6 million in 2013 (2012:
$14.8 million). Restructure costs amounted to $33.5 million, which compares to $50 million of expected
restructure costs disclosed in the 2012 Annual Report, the lower outcome reflecting better than anticipated
commercial outcomes.
Mineral sands EBITDA for 2013 was $249.0 million, a 65.7 per cent decrease compared with the previous
corresponding period. Mineral sands EBIT decreased by 94.7 per cent to $27.7 million (2012: $523.3 million)
including idle asset write downs of $40.0 million (2012: $nil).
48
Mining Area C iron ore royalty earnings (MAC) increased by 21.6 per cent to $87.9 million (2012: $72.3 million),
reflecting higher iron ore sales volumes and price and higher capacity payments of $4.0 million (2012: $3.0
million).
Profit before tax was $24.0 million (2012: $512.2 million). A net tax expense of $5.5 million (2012: $149.0 million)
was recognised in respect of the profit for the period, at an effective tax rate of 22.9 per cent (2012: 29.1 per
cent).
Free cash outflow of $27.5 million compares to a free cash inflow of $81.2 million in the previous corresponding
period. Operating cash flow remained positive at $124.0 million although at reduced levels from the previous
corresponding period (2012: $368.7 million). Tax payments of $140.1 million compare to a tax expense of $19.7
million. Payments in the year include $118.4 million in respect of earnings in 2012.
Net debt at 31 December 2013 was $206.6 million, with a corresponding gearing ratio (net debt/net debt + equity)
of 11.8 per cent. This compares with net debt at 31 December 2012 of $95.9 million and a gearing ratio of 5.8 per
cent. Undrawn facilities at 31 December 2013 were $579.6 million (2012: $718.2 million) and cash at bank was
$46.4 million (2012: $54.3 million). Free cash flow in January 2014 was $78.1 million (January 2013: $6.0 million)
and net debt at 31 January 2014 was $130.5 million (31 January 2013: $98.0 million).
Directors have determined a fully franked dividend of 4 cents per share, payable on 3 April 2014 with a record
date of 6 March 2014.

1Mineral sands revenues include revenues derived from other materials not included in production volumes, including activated
carbon products and iron oxide.
2
Revenue from the sale of zircon, rutile and synthetic rutile products.
Mineral sands sales volumes
Sales volumes for zircon for the full year were 370.2 thousand tonnes (2012: 213.8 thousand tonnes), a 73.2 per
cent increase, with sales of 210.9 thousand tonnes in the first half and 159.3 thousand tonnes in the second half
of 2013.
Zircon demand overall recovered in 2013, but the recovery was uneven across geographical markets, end use
sectors, as well quarter to quarter and sales remain below the levels seen in 2010 and 2011.
49
Combined sales volumes for the high grade titanium dioxide products of rutile and synthetic rutile for the full year
were 214.2 thousand tonnes (2012: 275.1 thousand tonnes), a 22.1 per cent decrease reflecting higher rutile
sales (up 59.2 per cent) offset by lower synthetic rutile volumes (down 72.8 per cent). Sales of rutile and synthetic
rutile combined in the second half were 137.9 thousand tonnes, compared with 76.3 thousand tonnes in the first
half. A decline in aggregate high grade titanium dioxide (rutile/synthetic rutile) sales, despite a stronger second
half, reflected lower demand for high grade feedstocks from the pigment sector during a period when alternate
feedstocks, particularly those available under legacy contracts, were preferred.
Iluka sold 337.5 thousand tonnes of ilmenite in 2013 (2012: 443.2 thousand tonnes), with lower sales to both
chloride pigment and sulphate slag segments.
Mineral sands production
Overall production volumes of Z/R/SR were 471.1 thousand tonnes, representing a 42.0 per cent decline from the
previous corresponding period (2012: 811.8 thousand tonnes). Lower annual production in 2013 reflects
production constraints consistent with Iluka’s preferred approach to a period of low market demand, facilitating a
progressive draw down of finished goods inventory.

Mineral sands revenue
Mineral sands sales revenue for the year was $763.1 million representing a decrease of 28.7 per cent compared
with the previous corresponding period (2012: $1,069.8 million) despite Z/R/SR sales volumes increasing 19.5
per cent.
Lower revenue reflects a material reduction in sales prices, with average Z/R/SR revenue per tonne declining
from $1,991 in 2012 to $1,173 in 2013. Zircon prices commenced 2013 materially lower than 2012 levels and
remained stable for much of the year before softening slightly in the fourth quarter, with a resultant weighted
average annual zircon price for 2013 of US$1,150 per tonne, a reduction of approximately 45 per cent
year-on-year. Weighted average rutile pricing declined during 2013 by approximately 56 per cent to US$1,069
per tonne, associated with the weak demand for high grade titanium products.
Cash costs of production
Cash costs of production were $376.1 million, a 35.5 per cent decline relative to the previous corresponding
period (2012: $583.5 million) associated with operational adjustments implemented in the period, which included
plant idling and reductions in workforce levels. Cash costs of production include costs such as iron oxide
processing, char and WHIMs ilmenite transport costs of $19.6 million (2012: $7.7 million).
As a result of lower Z/R/SR production, partially offset by the decline in cash costs of production, the unit cash
costs of production for 2013 were $798 per tonne of Z/R/SR, compared with $719 per tonne of Z/R/SR in 2012.
Inventory movement
Inventory of finished product decreased by $82.6 million to $402.0 million due to sales of Z/R/SR exceeding
production by 113.3 thousand tonnes during the year, offset partially by an increase in ilmenite stocks. Work in
progress (WIP) inventory has increased by $100.5 million in light of reduced processing of material through the
mineral separation plants at Narngulu (Western Australia) and Hamilton (Victoria) and maintaining production at
the Jacinth-Ambrosia, South Australia and Woornack, Rownack and Pirro (WRP), Victoria mines.
Restructure and idle capacity cash charges
In response to weak market conditions, Iluka took measures to curtail production and reduce production costs in
late 2012 and into 2013, including plant idling and reductions in workforce levels. This has resulted in higher
restructure and idle capacity costs compared with the previous corresponding period. Restructure costs incurred
in the year amounted to $33.5 million, of which $31.1 million was in the first half, with the remaining cost relating
to idle capacity charges incurred during periods of no production.
Rehabilitation and holding costs for closed sites
Rehabilitation and holding costs for closed sites have a net credit of $2.8 million in 2013. Changes in cost
estimates for rehabilitation work associated with closed sites in Australia and the US reduced the rehabilitation
provision by $5.5 million (2012: increase of $8.3 million), resulting in a release of these costs to the profit and loss
account. This credit is offset partially by costs incurred relating to ongoing maintenance work completed on
closed sites.
Government royalties
Government royalties decreased with lower sales revenue.
Marketing and selling costs
Lower marketing and selling costs are mainly due to improved freight cost management with a move to bulk
freight transfers, partially offset by an expanded global marketing presence and changes in selling arrangements
in some locations, including increased direct sales arrangements.
Resources development
Costs are higher than the previous corresponding period at $44.9 million (2012: $43.1 million) reflecting
increased expenditure related to new product development, offset partially by reduced exploration activity,
especially within Australia. Exploration expenses, which form part of the overall resource development expense,
reduced to $21.5 million from $29.5 million in 2012.
Depreciation and amortisation
The decrease of $21.4 million compared to the previous corresponding period reflects the idling of plant during
the period, including the mining operations at Eneabba and Tutunup South in Western Australia and the SR 2
and SR 3 synthetic rutile kilns in Western Australia.
Idle asset write downs
The write down in the carrying value of idle assets of $40.0 million relates to equipment in Western Australia that
is likely to remain idle as a result of changes in mine plans and successful technical developments.
51
Mining Area C
Iron ore sales volumes increased 10.8 per cent to 52.5 million dry metric tonnes (DMT). The average AUD
realised price upon which the royalty is payable increased by 8.9 per cent from the previous corresponding
period. The EBIT contribution of $87.9 million includes $4.0 million of annual capacity payments for production
increases in the year to 30 June (2012: $3.0 million).
Corporate and other
Corporate and other costs are $2.7 million lower than the previous corresponding period, including lower charges
for the group’s equity remuneration schemes.
Foreign exchange
Foreign exchange translation losses were $4.2 million compared to a gain of $0.4 million in the previous
corresponding period.
Rehabilitation unwind and discount rate change
Rehabilitation unwind costs have increased $10.0 million from 2012 mainly associated with a reduction in the risk
free discount rates used in the calculation of the net present value of the rehabilitation provisions in Australia and
the US. The change in discount rate resulted in a $38.5 million increase to the rehabilitation provisions, of which
$18.0 million was charged to profit and loss in respect of closed sites.
Interest
The increase in net interest costs reflects an increase in borrowings during the year, with net debt increasing to
$206.6 million from $95.9 million at 31 December 2012.
Tax expense
The income tax expense of $5.5 million is at an effective tax rate of 22.9 per cent compared to 29.1 per cent in
the previous corresponding period.
MOVEMENT IN NPAT
Commentary in respect of each bar in the NPAT waterfall above is provided on the following page.
52
Z/R/SR sales price (-ve $475 million)
Lower average prices than the previous corresponding period for all products. Average annual zircon prices were
US$1,050 per tonne, a reduction of 45 per cent year-on-year. Softening demand in the high grade titanium
market resulted in rutile prices achieving an average US$1,069 per tonne, 57 per cent lower year-on-year and
synthetic rutile was 35 per cent lower year-on-year with an average annual price of US$1,150 per tonne.
Z/R/SR sales volumes (+ve $25 million)
The amount reflects the impact of higher Z/R/SR sales volumes (up 19.5 per cent on the previous corresponding
period) using the average margin achieved for Z/R/SR product sales in the current period.
Z/R/SR sales mix (-ve $10 million)
Z/R/SR sales volumes for the period include a higher proportion of lower priced zircon and a lower proportion of
higher priced synthetic rutile products than in the previous corresponding period.
Z/R/SR foreign exchange (+ve $86 million)
The impact of a lower weighted average spot exchange rate of 95.0 cents applicable to Z/R/SR revenue
compared with the rate in the previous corresponding period of 103.0 cents. Foreign exchange impacts on
operating costs, mainly those relating to the US operations, are included in the overall movement in unit costs.
Ilmenite and other products (-ve $19 million)
Decreased volume of ilmenite sales combined with lower prices.
Z/R/SR unit cost of sales (-ve $37 million)
Higher unit cash costs of sales for Z/R/SR sold during the period reflects higher cost of goods sold and a change
in sales mix to higher cost material.
Restructure and idle capacity (-ve $55 million)
The increase in costs is predominantly the result of $33.5 million of restructure costs in the year as a result of
operational adjustments, including contract terminations for idled plant and reductions in workforce levels. The
remaining increase is due to more operations being idle compared to the previous corresponding period.
Mineral sands other costs (+ve $11 million)
The lower costs are due mainly to revisions in cost estimates for rehabilitation on closed sites in Australia and
lower royalty costs as a result of lower sales revenue.
Mining Area C (+ve $16 million)
Iron ore royalties increased compared to the previous corresponding period due to a 10.8 per cent increase in
sales volumes to 52.5 million dry metric tonnes, combined with an 8.9 per cent decrease in realised AUD iron ore
prices. MAC capacity payments of $4.0 million, before tax, were $1.0 million higher than in the previous
corresponding period. Production from MAC for the royalty year ended 30 June 2013 amounted to 54.1 million
wet metric tonnes. Royalty and capacity payments are payable on dry metric tonnes.
Depreciation and amortisation (+ve $21 million)
The lower charges compared to the previous corresponding period are due mainly to the idling of plant and
operations during the year, including Eneabba and Tutunup South mining operations and the SR 2 and SR 3
kilns.
Idle asset write downs (-ve $40 million)
The write down in the carrying value of idle assets of $40.0 million relates to equipment in Western Australia that
is likely to remain idle as a result of changes in mine plans and successful technical developments.
Corporate (+ve $5 million)
Lower corporate costs reflect
continuing focus on cost minimisation.
lower charges for the group’s equity remuneration schemes, combined with
Interest and bank charges (-ve $7 million)
Net interest costs increased due to lower cash holdings, with interest income for cash on deposit reducing by
$5.9 million from the previous corresponding period.
53
Rehabilitation unwind and other finance charges (-ve $10 million)
The increase from the previous corresponding period reflects the charge to profit and loss in respect of the
increase to provisions for closed sites resulted from a reduction in the discount rate used in the determination of
the liabilities.
Tax (+ve $144 million)
The variance reflects the decreased tax expense as a result of the declining earnings compared to the previous
corresponding period.

receivables are associated mainly with additional sales in December compared to the previous
Higher inventories mainly reflect an increase of $100.5 million in work in progress product to $358.4 million
(2012: $257.9 million), partially offset by an $82.6 million decrease in finished product stocks to $402.0 million.
Higher work in progress values reflects increased heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) due to HMC produced of
1,538.3 thousand tonnes exceeding the HMC processed of 1,044.2 thousand tonnes. The drawdown in finished
goods is due mainly to sales of Z/R/SR exceeding production by 113.3 thousand tonnes. Inventories include
$271.0 million of predominantly concentrate material classified as non-current (2012: $257.9 million) and $34.7
million of consumable stores (2012: $38.0 million).
Lower property, plant and equipment values reflect mainly the depreciation charge for the period of $181.3 million
and idle asset write downs of $40.0 million being higher than capital expenditure of $52.5 million, offset partially
by currency retranslation effects on US balances and increases related to adjustments to rehabilitation
obligations.
The reduction in the net tax liability is a result of reduced earnings combined with final settlement in the year of
the 2012 Australian tax liabilities following return to a tax paying position in the previous corresponding period.
The net tax asset includes $1.8 million of tax payable in respect of 2013 and prior years, with the balance being
deferred tax amounts due to timing differences between tax and accounting treatments.
Net debt increased $110.7 million compared to the previous corresponding period due to free cash outflow for the
year of $27.5 million, payments of $62.8 million in respect of the 10 cent 2012 final dividend in April 2013 and the
5 cent 2013 interim dividend in September 2013 and currency translation impacts of $18.6 million on the USD
component of net debt. In June 2013, a US$40.0 million tranche of the US Private Placement Notes was repaid
in accordance with its maturity; this debt was subject to an interest rate and cross currency swap to AUD with the
effective repayment of $56.9 million being matched by debt drawn under the group’s existing bank facilities. The
final US$20.0 million tranche of the US Private Placement Notes is due for repayment in June 2015. The group
has $800.0 million of bank facilities which expire in April 2017.

Operating cash flow in the year of $124.0 million is significantly lower than the previous corresponding period,
reflecting lower sales revenue.
MAC cash flows were $6.6 million higher than the previous corresponding period reflecting higher MAC royalty
income of $14.0 million, offset partially by higher amounts receivable for the December quarter, payable in
January of the subsequent year.
Tax payments in the year of $140.1 million were $19.0 million lower than the previous corresponding period due
mainly to lower payments in respect of prior years (2013 included $118.4 million in respect of 2012 and 2012
included $152.3 million in respect of 2011). Iluka resumed quarterly tax payments in Australia during the year.
Capital expenditure of $52.5 million in the year related mainly to various major projects, including Cataby
(Western Australia), West Balranald (New South Wales) and Hickory (Virginia), as well as the construction of
additional product storage facilities.
Share purchases are on-market purchases associated with the group’s equity based incentive plans.
A 2013 interim dividend of 5 cents per share was paid in October 2013 and a 2012 final dividend of 10 cents per
share was paid in April 2013. 2012 cash flows included the 2012 interim dividend of 25 cents per share paid in
the second half of 2012 and the 2011 final dividend of 55 cents per share paid in the first half of 2012.
The exchange revaluation of USD net debt
in the year of $18.6 million period predominantly reflects the
retranslation of US$105.0 million of debt from an exchange rate of 104.0 cents at 31 December 2012 to 89.1
cents at 31 December 2013. The exchange impacts in previous periods reflect more stable exchange rates and
lower levels of USD denominated net debt.

Total Z/R/SR production decreased from the previous corresponding period reflecting completion of operating
adjustments commenced in late 2012 to curtail output in response to lower demand, to facilitate a progressive
draw down of finished goods inventory, as well as to reduce total operating costs.
Cash costs of production are $218.2 million lower than the previous corresponding period as a result of the idling
of mining at Eneabba and Tutunup South (Western Australia) during the year and curtailed production of finished
goods due to lower processing of HMC and the idling of both synthetic rutile kilns. Whilst Z/R/SR production has
reduced by 43.4 per cent compared to the previous corresponding period, HMC production remains constant
across the periods reflecting normal mining activities at Jacinth-Ambrosia and WRP. The increase in reported unit
cash cost reflects the calculation of this measure based on cash costs of production and Z/R/SR production.
The inventory movement reflects increased WIP offset by a drawdown in finished goods products as a result of
sales of Z/R/SR exceeding production during the year. In the previous corresponding period the increase related
mainly to a build of finished goods.
Restructure and idle capacity charges have increased significantly compared to the previous corresponding
period due to the decisions taken in the year to curtail production. Of the total balance, $33.5 million relates to
restructure costs most of which were incurred in the first half of 2013.
Lower government royalties reflect decreased mineral sands revenues associated with lower sales prices.
Lower marketing and selling costs reflect improved freight cost management with a move to bulk freight.
Lower depreciation and amortisation charges are a result of idling operations, including the SR 2 and SR 3 kilns
in Western Australia, with no depreciation being charged on idle assets.
The idle assets write downs relate to old equipment in Western Australia; three wet concentrator plants, two
mining unit plants and capitalised expenditure associated with restarting synthetic rutile kiln 3 which was idled in
the first half of 2013.

Zircon and ilmenite production is 13.2 per cent lower than the previous corresponding period as production was
reduced based on the availability of HMC for processing from the Concord and Brink mines in the United States.
Higher unit cash cost of production reflect lower finished goods production volumes, higher local cash costs and
an unfavourable exchange rate movement.
Lower sales revenue is due to lower realised zircon prices and lower ilmenite sales volumes, partially offset by
increased zircon sales volumes.
The inventory movement for the year predominantly reflects a build in ilmenite inventory, representing 31 per cent
of the annual production.
Higher depreciation and amortisation charges are due to higher capital spend at the end of 2012 and in 2013
resulting primarily from mining unit relocations at both mine sites which have short economic lives.

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 63 to 83.
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS
The company indemnifies all Directors of the company named in this report and current and former executive
officers of the company and its controlled entities against all liabilities to persons (other than the company or the
related body corporate) which arise out of the performance of their normal duties as Director or Executive Officer
unless the liability relates to conduct involving bad faith. The company also has a policy to indemnify the
Directors and Executive Officers against all costs and expenses incurred in defending an action that falls within
the scope of the indemnity and any resulting payments.
The terms of engagement of Iluka's external auditor includes an indemnity in favour of the external auditor. This
indemnity is in accordance with PricewaterhouseCoopers' standard Terms of Business and is conditional upon
PricewaterhouseCoopers acting as external auditor. Iluka has not otherwise indemnified or agreed to indemnify
the external auditors of Iluka at any time during the financial year.
During the year the company has paid a premium in respect of Directors' and Executive Officers' insurance. The
contract contains a prohibition on disclosure of the amount of the premium and the nature of the liabilities under
the policy.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The group's Australian operations are subject to various Commonwealth and State laws governing the protection
of the environment in areas such as air and water quality, waste emission and disposal, environmental impact
assessments, mine rehabilitation and access to, and use of, ground water. In particular, some operations are
required to be licensed to conduct certain activities under the environmental protection legislation of the state in
which they operate and such licenses include requirements specific to the subject site.
So far as the Directors are aware, there have been no material breaches of the group's licences and all mining
and exploration activities have been undertaken in compliance with the relevant environmental regulations.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The group may decide to employ the external auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties
where the auditor's expertise and experience with the group are important.
The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in accordance with advice received from the Audit and
Risk Committee, is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of
independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of
non-audit services by the external auditor, as set out below, did not compromise the auditor independence
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
•
•
fees paid to external auditors for non-audit services for the 2013 year were within the group policy; and
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.
A copy of the auditors' independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2011 is
set out on page 84.
Fees that were paid or payable during the year for non-audit services provided by the auditor of the parent entity,

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
On 21 February 2014, Iluka announced that it had concluded an Investment Agreement with Metalysis Limited
(Metalysis) for an interest of 18.3 per cent, subject to usual conditions precedent, for a consideration of £12.2
million (approximately A$22.5 million). Metalysis is a private, Venture Capital
funded technology company
established in 2001, which is based near Sheffield in the United Kingdom. Metalysis has demonstrated that it is
able to produce titanium powder directly from Iluka’s main high grade titanium feedstock products of rutile. Iluka’s
investment in Metalysis provides the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
a 18.3 per cent interest, on a fully diluted basis (19.6 per cent on an undiluted basis), which would make Iluka
the largest shareholder;
a right to increase its shareholding to between 20 to 24.9 per cent in the event of an Initial Public Offering;
a pro-rata first right of refusal over any transfers of existing shares or issues of new shares;
one Board seat with full voting rights and one observer;
a non-exclusive world-wide licence over the Metalysis technology to produce titanium powder in return for a
revenue royalty on normal commercial terms; and
right of first offer over future titanium metal licences, excluding current negotiations Metalysis is undertaking
with respect to two specific licences.
All conditions precedent were satisfied on 28 February 2014.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
In the opinion of the Directors, likely developments in and expected results of the operations of the group have
been disclosed in the Operating and Financial Review on page 46. Disclosure of further material relating to those
matters could result in unreasonable prejudice to the interests of the group.
ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
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 Directors' Report. Amounts in the Directors' Report

DETAILS OF STATUTORY REMUNERATION DISCLOSURES
The Directors of Iluka Resources Limited present this Remuneration Report (Report) for the consolidated entity
for the year ended 31 December 2013. The information provided in this Report has been audited as required by
section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and forms part of the Directors’ Report.
This Report sets out remuneration information for the Non-executive Directors, Managing Director and other
the Key Management Personnel (KMP) who have authority for planning, directing and
senior executives,
controlling the activities of the company (as defined in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures).
SECTION 1 2013 OVERVIEW
The following provides an overview of Iluka’s remuneration and incentive outcomes in 2013.
Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR)
(Section 5.2)
in February 2013,
A re-organisation,
resulted in changes in reporting
relationships and individual accountabilities for certain executive roles and,
in some cases, re-evaluation of remuneration levels against the market.
the Managing
A separate review was undertaken, as required under
Director’s contract, for the Managing Director’s remuneration and further
details are set out in section 6.
Due to the low level of profitability for the company in 2013, the Board has
to exclude all
taken the decision, on management’s recommendation,
executives and senior managers from the 2014 salary review.
Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
(Section 5.4)
The 2013 STIP outcome equated to an average payment of 26 per cent of
maximum opportunity for all executive KMP (including the Managing
Director).
the STIP award reflected the low cycle

determining the final STIP awards,
the Board exercised its discretion to
adjust the Profitability component for the Managing Director and Executive
KMP (50 per cent and 60 per cent of the total STIP opportunity respectively)
from a relatively small payment under one of the measures, to a zero result
for the Profitability component overall.
Strong performance was achieved in relation to the Sustainability targets
and executives maintained focus on their individual objectives relating to
growth opportunities for the company.
There was mandatory deferral of 50 per cent of
the STIP award for
executives into restricted shares. The deferred portion vests over a two year
period, and is subject to clawback during deferral.
The 2013 STI outcomes for executive KMP are at a similar level to 2012 (on
average 3 per cent lower). Whilst financial performance was lower in 2013
than 2012, targets for each year are set based on industry conditions and
business performance expectations at the time. In 2012, a year in which the
second highest profit ever for the company was recorded, no payment was
made in relation to the Profitability component due to the challenging targets
set. Threshold, Target and Stretch levels of performance are set in advance
for incentive payments in all
financial years and as a result may vary
depending on prevailing business performance expectations.
63
The Board believes the final 2013 STIP awards reflect 2013 company
performance while rewarding actions that are critical to the company’s future
and so appropriately reflect management performance balanced against
outcomes for shareholders.
Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
(Section 5.5)
100 per cent vesting of the 2011 LTIP (performance period 1 January 2011
to 31 December 2013) reflected:
•
TSR of 39.4 per cent which ranked at
S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index comparator group; and
the 91.1st percentile of
the
• ROE performance of 22.3 per cent against a stretch target of 20 per cent.
Managing Director’s Long Term
Incentive Deferral (LTID) Plan
(Section 6)
The Managing Director’s LTID plan performance period ended on 1 March
2014. Of the 750,000 share rights offered, 250,000 will vest based on the
company’s financial performance over the three year period. However,
vesting will not occur until 12 months after the end of performance period,
that is, vesting will not occur until March 2015
The Board and the Managing Director have agreed that a replacement for
the expired Managing Director’s LTID plan is not appropriate at this time.
Total Remuneration
(Section 2.1 and Section 10)
In 2013, average total remuneration for the Managing Director and other
executive KMP reduced by 12 per cent on a statutory basis (see section 10)
and reduced 16 per cent on a realised or “take-home” basis (non IFRS) (see
section 2.1) compared with 2012 total remuneration levels.
Employee Share Plan
(Section 5.7)
Minimum Shareholding
Requirements
(Section 5.6)
Non-Executive Directors Fees
(Section 8)
Plans for 2014
In line with the company’s focus on share ownership for all employees, offers
were made under the A$1,000 employee share plan in 2013. Overall 596
employees (98 per cent of eligible employees) accepted the offer
to
participate in the plan for which a total of 56,620 shares were awarded.
Consistent with prior years,
the minimum shareholding requirements for
executive KMP are 100 per cent of TFR for the Managing Director and 75
per cent of TFR for other executive KMP.
Minimum shareholding guidelines were introduced for Non-executive
Directors which require a shareholding equivalent to 50 per cent of annual
base fees within three years of joining the Board.
No changes were made to Non-executive Director fees in 2013 (fees have
not been increased since 2011). The Board determined that Non-executive
Director fees and the Non-executive Director fee pool would not be adjusted
for the 2014 financial year.
During the 2014 financial year, the Remuneration & Nomination Committee
will conduct a review of incentive based reward covering the STIP and LTIP
the review is to ensure the company’s
arrangements. The purpose of
incentive arrangements continue to support
the creation and delivery of
value for shareholders and remain appropriate in light of current market
practice and other external factors.
SECTION 2 2013 TOTAL REALISED EARNINGS
The table below sets out the total realised earnings for the Managing Director and other executive KMP for 2013
and provides shareholders with details of the “actual” or “take-home” pay executives received during the year.
These earnings include cash salary and fees, superannuation, non-cash benefits received during the year and
the full value of incentive payments earned during the performance period ended 31 December 2013. The table
does not include the accounting value of share based payments consisting of share rights granted in the current
and prior years. This is because those share based payments are dependent on the achievement of performance
hurdles and so may or may not be realised.
As indicated in the previous section and illustrated in the following two tables, in 2013 average total remuneration
for the Managing Director and other executive KMP reduced by 16 per cent on a realised or “take-home” basis
compared with 2012 total remuneration levels.
64
Details of the remuneration received by the executive KMP prepared in accordance with statutory requirements
and accounting standards are detailed on pages 81 to 83 of this Remuneration Report.

SECTION 3 LINK BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND REWARD
The following section sets out details of Iluka’s financial performance and how performance has translated to
incentive outcomes for executive KMP.
3.1 Shareholder Alignment
Shareholder Returns
For the five years to 31 December 2013, shareholders achieved total returns of 113 per cent (before franking
credits and tax). This is illustrated in the below chart.
A. A shareholder invests $4.64 to acquire one share on the last day of trading in 2008.
B. As at 31 December 2013, share price was $8.63.
C. Aggregate dividends paid over the five year period were $1.23 per share (before franking credits).1
D. Total value of shares plus dividends received as at 31 December 2013 was $9.86 (B+C), amounting to a
return of 113 per cent over the five year period.
1Comprised of 2010 final dividend (8 cps unfranked), 2011 interim dividend (20 cps unfranked), 2011 final dividend (55 cps
franked), 2012 interim dividend (25 cps franked), 2012 final dividend (10 cps franked) and 2013 interim dividend (5 cps

markedly year to year, 108 per cent of
shareholders in dividends. Total incentives awarded under the STIP and LTIP over the corresponding period is
10 per cent of FCF.

3.2 Performance Based Reward
2013 STIP Performance
The following chart provides a comparison between the maximum STIP opportunity for the Managing Director
and other executive KMP and the actual amounts that were awarded in 2013 and 2012. Note Doug Warden
became a KMP during 2013 on appointment to his current role, so 2012 outcomes are not included.
Commentary on the performance outcome for each STIP component is detailed in the next table.

Return on Capital
(ROC)
Free Cash Flow
(FCF)2
Reflects how efficiently Iluka
utilises capital to generate
earnings and is the ‘internal
surrogate’ for ROE.
Reflects the cash generation of
Iluka, with higher FCF allowing
more dividends to be paid and/or
greater investment in sustaining
and growing the business while
maintaining a conservatively
geared balance sheet.
Net Profit After
Tax (NPAT)
Reflects the profit made by Iluka
and the result impact on returns
generated for shareholders.
The result for the year of 2.2 per cent (2012:
32.3 per cent) reflects the significantly lower
Group EBIT for the year and a relatively
stable level of capital employed compared
to the prior year.1
Negative free cash flow for
the year of
$27.5 million (2012: positive $81.2 million)
reflects a lower level of cash inflow due to
reduced sales volumes and lower prices
offset partially by a reduction in cash costs
and capital expenditure. FCF in 2013 also
reflects a net increase in working capital of
$256.8 million including a reduction in
current tax payable of $126.5 million, with
the payment of $118 million in tax in 2013
which related to 2012 profit.
Competitive market dynamics in a sustained
low demand environment led to significantly
lower prices being received on average
across 2013, when compared to the
previous corresponding period. The results
were also adversely impacted by idle asset
write downs and the impact of changes in
discount rates for long dated rehabilitation
provisions of $41.0 million after tax.

individual roles and are linked to
major business opportunities and
the management of key risks as
identified in Iluka’s five year
Corporate Plan, as well as the
priorities for the relevant year.
The Managing Director and the Executive
achieved, inter alia, the following objectives
focusing on the medium to long term future
of the company:
• progression, economic improvement and
delivery flexibility of the company's major
project pipeline;
• expansion of the company's international

2011 LTIP Outcome
At the end of 2013, the 2011 LTIP grant completed its performance period (1 January 2011 to 31 December

SECTION 4 REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
4.1 Board Oversight
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee (Committee) operates in accordance with its charter as approved
by the Board. The Committee is comprised of the following independent Non-executive Directors:
W G Osborn (Committee Chairman)
J A Seabrook
G A Rezos
J H Ranck
The Committee’s responsibility is to provide assistance and recommendations to the Board in support of the
company’s objective of creating and delivering value for shareholders and in fulfilling its corporate governance
responsibilities relating to the following:
overall remuneration strategy of the company;
remuneration of Non-executive Directors;
performance and remuneration of the Managing Director and Executives;
selection and appointment of, and succession planning for, Non-executive Directors;
selection and appointment of, and succession planning for, the Managing Director;
•
•
•
•
•
• STIP and LTIP offers and outcomes, including all equity offers to employees;
•
•
succession planning for key roles; and
diversity strategy, policies and practices of the company.
The Committee also makes decisions on behalf of the Board where such authority has been expressly delegated.
4.2 Use of Remuneration Consultants
The Committee has the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its duties and responsibilities, including
the authority to engage external professionals on terms it determines to be appropriate. During 2013, external
advisers were engaged by the Committee and provided input on several matters relating to remuneration. These
advisers were:
• Ernst & Young (EY) – were engaged to provide assistance in relation to executive remuneration including
market benchmarking data for Managing Director Remuneration, executive remuneration market trends, the
short term incentive plan and Iluka’s employee share plans;
•
Jackson McDonald and Herbert Smith Freehills - were engaged to provide legal advice in respect of share
plans and executive contracts.
During the year ended 31 December 2013 no remuneration recommendations, as defined by the Corporations
Act, were provided by Ernst & Young, Jackson McDonald or Herbert Smith Freehills.
4.3 Securities Trading and Hedging Policy
Iluka's policy in relation to employees holding Iluka securities is set out in the company's Securities Trading
Policy, which can be found on the company's website at www.iluka.com. The policy sets out the circumstances in
which employees may trade in company securities.
Directors and executives are prohibited from trading in financial products issued or created over the company’s
securities by third parties, and from trading in associated products and entering into transactions which operate to
limit the economic risk of their security holdings in the company. This prohibition extends to directors and
executives taking out margin loans on their holdings of Iluka securities.
4.4 Clawback Policy
Under the company’s STIP and LTIP offer terms and conditions and the plan rules, the Board has discretion to
determine forfeiture of deferred or unvested equity awards in certain circumstances (e.g. unlawful, fraudulent,
dishonest behaviour or serious breach of obligations owed to the company). All
incentive offers and final
outcomes are subject to the full discretion of the Board.
4.5 People Policy and Remuneration Principles
The Iluka People Policy seeks to:
•
•
•
attract and retain the best people while building and maintaining a diverse, sustainable and high achieving
workforce;
recognise that leadership at all levels is required to create alignment of purpose, which together with the right
resources, is crucial to the achievement of extraordinary performance; and
provide a workplace in which our employees gain a sense of achievement based on the principles of
accountability, commerciality and engagement.
70
To achieve these objectives, the following principles form the basis of Iluka’s remuneration framework:
Market competitive
•
Fixed remuneration reflecting skills, experience and performance and which is
comparable and competitive within the resources sector.
• An appropriate balance between fixed and variable (at risk) components of
remuneration.
• Remuneration practice is reasonable and effective through cyclical market
conditions.
Performance based
• Variable component focused on both short and long term business performance.
• Reward for achievement of corporate and individual objectives.
•
Targets set
minimum requirements over time.
reflect both prevailing business performance expectations and
Aligned to shareholder
returns
• Performance objectives support business profitability, sustainability and growth
and result in improved shareholder returns.
• Share ownership for all employees with significant trailing exposure to company
performance for executives through deferred share plans and minimum
shareholding requirements.
Fair and transparent
• Fair remuneration and reward based on performance.
• Clear and concise disclosure.
• Compliant with relevant legislative frameworks.
71
SECTION 5 EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
The remuneration of executive KMP is linked to both annual business and individual performance outcomes and
to the company’s ability to create and deliver competitive levels of shareholder value, as defined by total
shareholder return (TSR) and return on equity (ROE), on a longer term basis. Managing Director Remuneration is
detailed separately in Section 6.
5.1 Components of Executive Remuneration
Executive remuneration is made up of fixed (TFR) and at risk (STIP and LTIP) components. A significant portion
of total remuneration is at risk. The components of executive remuneration are as follows:

experience and performance. TFR levels are benchmarked against the
median level of the resources sector.
that reflects the scope and responsibility of
Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
Strong link to financial performance and delivery of results. Satisfactory
individual performance against Growth objectives and above threshold
performance against group Profitability and Sustainability targets is
required before any award is payable on the relevant component.
Equity exposure is achieved through STIP deferral, with 50 per cent of the
total STIP award deferred in restricted shares for executives and senior
managers and 25 per cent deferred for all other participants. Half of the
restricted shares vest one year after the end of the performance period,
while the remaining half vests two years after the end of the performance
period.

5.2 Total Fixed Remuneration
Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) consists of base salary, superannuation and any salary sacrifice items. TFR
levels are assessed against the median level of the resources sector through independent data provided by Hay
Group. Individual TFR is determined within an appropriate range around the market median by referencing job
evaluation data, individual experience and performance. Allowance may also be made for the competition for
certain skills within the resources sector.
The company conducts a review of the remuneration of all employees and executives on an annual basis or as
required. Review guidelines and budgets, approved by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, are based
upon the outcomes of direct and related market
review data and external advice from the company’s
remuneration advisers. Annual assessments of performance against individual objectives are used in conjunction
with market data to determine appropriate remuneration recommendations.
A one up approval process applies to all remuneration adjustments with final Managing Director approval prior to
any remuneration review being implemented. Remuneration adjustments for direct reports to the Managing
Director are subject to Remuneration and Nomination Committee approval.
5.3 Performance and Incentives
The performance and incentive arrangements are comprised of a Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) and a Long
Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). These distinct plans balance the short and long term aspects of business
performance, reflect market practice and ensure a strong alignment between the incentive arrangements of
executives and the creation and delivery of shareholder value.
72
Executive Incentive Opportunity
At target levels of performance, the STIP generally represents two-thirds of potential variable remuneration, and
the LTIP generally represents one-third.

5.4 Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
The STIP aims to provide an incentive to participants whilst driving shareholder value creation and promoting
equity ownership by providing awards partly in cash and partly in deferred equity. The structure of Iluka’s STIP is
as follows:
Eligibility
All executives and other nominated senior employees are eligible to participate in the
STIP.
In 2013, 195 employees (representing 23 per cent of employees and including all
executives) participated in the STIP.
Entitlement
The level of award opportunity (based on a percentage range of each participant’s
TFR) is determined by an individual’s role within the business and capacity to impact
the results of the company.
Performance measures
and targets
STIP performance measures and targets are set on an annual basis under the
categories of Profitability, Sustainability and Growth. The process for setting all
targets is a rigorous one, and measures and targets are subject to the approval of the
Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
STIP performance measures are linked to Iluka’s corporate plan and prevailing
industry dynamics to ensure that maximum shareholder returns are being provided to
investors.
Profitability
Profitability measures typically consist of return on capital and net profit after tax
metrics with the third element varying from time to time between an earnings
measure and a cash flow measure.
Free Cash Flow (FCF) was introduced in 2013 (replacing EBIT), reflecting the difficult
operating and economic environment that was foreseen and the company’s focus in
such circumstances on cash low maximisation. (See section 3.2 for further details of
2013 STIP performance measures).
Profitability targets are set based on the budget agreed by the Board, assessed
adequacy of challenge and business objectives. Targets reflect business
expectations at that time and may vary from prior year performance depending on
economic and market conditions. What are deemed to be challenging targets are set
each year. No adjustment is made to targets and outcomes for uncontrollable items
such as foreign exchange movements. The Board in all years may exercise
discretion (up or down) if circumstances eventuate that are different enough to
expectations at the start of the year to warrant such discretion.
Sustainability
Sustainability targets relate to safety and environmental objectives and are set based
improvement versus the
on a combination of industry best practice and continual
prior year performance.
Growth
Individual objectives that advance the company’s longer term prospects – which
“make a difference” – are referred to as “Growth objectives” and are set at a stretch
level. Individual Growth objectives are linked to major business opportunities and
risks from the Corporate Plan and business priorities for the year ahead. Executive
Growth objectives are set in conjunction with the Managing Director and are reviewed
and approved by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. Managing Director
Growth objectives are reviewed and approved by the Board.
73
Performance levels
For the Profitability and Sustainability STIP performance measures, a threshold,
target and stretch goal is set at the start of the performance year. The STIP outcome
for the each performance measure is calculated according to the following schedule:
Performance Level
STI Outcome (% Target)
Threshold1
Target
Stretch
0%
100%
150% (maximum)
No payment is made in relation to Profitability and Sustainability objectives until
above threshold levels of performance achieved.
Achievement of the threshold level of performance exactly results in a zero payout.
Thereafter, a sliding scale operates between threshold and target, and between
target and stretch.
Individual Growth objectives are set at a stretch level of performance.
Payment timing
Awards are made in March following the performance year.
STI deferral
The company operates a mandatory deferral for all STIP participants. Fifty per cent of
the award (for executives and senior managers) is deferred in the form of ordinary
restricted shares (25 per cent is deferred for lower level employees). The Board has
discretion to increase the deferred proportion (thereby reducing the cash
component).
Half of the restricted shares vests one year after the end of the performance period,
while the remaining half vests two years after the end of the performance period.
The process for determining the number of restricted shares to be awarded to each
participant is determined by dividing the dollar value of the deferred component by
the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Iluka shares traded on the ASX over
the five trading days following release of the company’s full year results.
Executives must remain employed with the company and continue to perform
satisfactorily for the shares to vest. As a consequence, executives may have a
significant trailing exposure to their own and company performance subsequent to
the award. The deferred amount supports executive focus on both annual and
multi-year performance, as well as providing a retention element.
Termination/forfeiture
Where an employee resigns or is dismissed for cause, they will forfeit the right to any
unvested deferred STIP awards. If an employee leaves due to circumstances such as
redundancy, retirement, total or permanent disablement or death, at the Board’s
discretion they still retain the right to any unvested deferred STIP awards.
Clawback
All STIP incentive offers and final outcomes are subject to the full discretion of the
Board. Under the STIP offer terms and conditions and the plan rules, the Board has
discretion to determine forfeiture of deferred equity awards in certain circumstances
(e.g. unlawful, fraudulent, dishonest behaviour or serious breach of obligations to the
company).
1Typically set at 90 per cent of budget for Profitability measures
74
5.5 The Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
Iluka’s LTIP is designed to focus executives’ attention on sustainable long term growth and align the interests of
executives with those of shareholders.
Key details of the LTIP are set out in the table below:
Eligibility
All executives and nominated senior managers are eligible to participate in the LTIP.
Grants are generally restricted to employees who are most able to influence
shareholder value.
In 2013, 110 employees (representing 13 per cent of employees and including all
executives) participated in the LTIP.
Instrument
Awards are made in the form of share rights for Iluka shares that vest after three
years subject to performance over a three year vesting period.
Share rights are issued under the Directors, Executives and Employees Share
Acquisition Plan (DEESAP) and entitle the recipient to acquire fully paid ordinary
shares in the company. No amount is payable by a recipient for the grant of any
share rights under the DEESAP.
Grant value
The level of the grant is determined by an individual’s role within the business and
capacity to impact the results of the company. The maximum LTIP opportunity for the
executive KMP is typically 30 per cent of TFR.
Performance hurdles
The grant is split equally into two components:
•
•
one component (50 per cent) is assessed based on ROE relative to an internal
target; and
the other component (50 per cent) is assessed based on TSR performance
relative to a comparator group of companies.
ROE
The ROE component of the LTIP grant vests based on a prospective three year
average ROE performance measure. Vesting occurs on a straight line basis for
performance between Threshold and Target. Targets are set giving consideration to:
•
•
•
the company’s ROE performance history;
planned strategic and business plan activity throughout the performance period;
and
the performance of comparable companies in the ASX 200 Materials Index.
Targets are reviewed annually and set for a forward three year period. Targets reflect
expectations of the company’s position within the mineral sands industry, the industry
business cycle, corporate plan and budget business performance expectations.
it can be expected targets will be
Where sustainable performance improves,
increased - within the bounds of feasible achievement - creating a “staircase” effect
over time. Similarly, because performance is measured over the three years as an
average, a failure to achieve targeted levels of performance in any one year
increases the hurdle in the remaining years.
In the interest of transparent reporting, Iluka discloses its ROE target range measure
which forms part of the LTIP.
ROE targets for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 LTIP are shown in the table below:
LTIP Grant

2012-2014
2011-2013
Threshold
10%
40%
12%
Target
14%
50%
20%
TSR
The TSR component of
the LTIP grant may vest based on TSR relative to a
comparator group of companies. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index is used as the
comparator group as it reflects the companies that operate within the same industry
as Iluka and with which Iluka competes for investment.
75
A relative TSR hurdle is used as opposed to an absolute TSR hurdle in recognition of
the fact that Iluka and many of its peers operate in cyclical markets. This allows
awards to still be made where Iluka is out performing its peers, even if the market is
in a cyclical
low, and creates incentives for executives to continue to grow the
business and look to the future at all points in the cycle.

the three year performance period subject to the ROE and TSR hurdles.

there will be no entitlement to the share rights.
Termination/forfeiture
When employment with Iluka ceases, all unvested share rights are forfeited.
All LTIP offers and details of the maximum allocation for the Managing Director and executive KMP are shown on
page 82.
5.6 Minimum Shareholding Requirements
The company places strong emphasis on promoting employee share ownership, as it increases the incentive for
employees to drive continual shareholder wealth. In line with this goal, a minimum shareholding requirement for
executives has been in place since 2011 to continue to align the interests of executives and shareholders.
As with prior years, the minimum shareholding requirements for executive KMP are:
•
•
the Managing Director is required to maintain a shareholding equivalent to 100 per cent of TFR; and
executive KMP are required to maintain a shareholding equivalent to 75 per cent of TFR.
Current shareholdings of all executive KMP are disclosed in Section 9 of this Remuneration Report.
5.7 Employee Share Plan
The primary objective of the Iluka Employee Share Plan is to encourage share ownership and a focus on
shareholder returns by all employees.
Australian employees are offered shares up to $1,000 under a tax-exempt plan, with a three year sale restriction
period. US employees do not have access to a tax exemption plan, and are therefore offered shares up to $1,000
through a grant of restricted shares, also subject to a three year restriction period. To enable US employees to
receive a tax deferral, strict forfeiture conditions apply.
In 2013, of the 488 Australian employees eligible to participate in the Employee Share Plan, 479 (98 per cent)
accepted the offer. In the US, of the 118 employees eligible to participate, 117 (99 per cent) accepted the offer.
Employees who participated in the STIP or LTIP were not eligible to participate in the 2013 Employee Share
Plan.

Long Term Incentive Deferred Plan (2011 to 2013) - Plan Details
Retention Offer
Performance Hurdles
At
the 2011 AGM, shareholders approved the following retention
arrangements for Mr Robb (referred to as the Long Term Incentive Deferred
Plan or LTID Plan).
750,000 share rights offered in three tranches over a three year retention
period with each tranche being subject to performance criteria referable to
Iluka’s absolute TSR and ROE.
For each tranche of share rights there are TSR performance hurdles
referable to each performance period as detailed below. Each tranche is
assessed in each of the three years.
- Tranche 1 450,000 Share Rights
A base tranche of 150,000 share rights each year that requires an absolute
TSR of 12.5 per cent compounding over the three years.
- Tranche 2 150,000 Share Rights
A base tranche of 50,000 share rights each year that requires an absolute
TSR of 15 per cent compounding over the three years.
- Tranche 3 150,000 Share Rights
A base tranche of 50,000 share rights each year that requires an absolute
TSR of 17.5 per cent compounding over the three years.
Vesting Conditions
A tranche of share rights will vest on the Vesting Date if the absolute TSR
performance hurdle calculated over the Performance Period for that tranche
is achieved, subject to achievement of the Gateway.
77
Gateway
Vesting Date
Forfeiture
In order for the rights to be awarded in any of the three years, an ROE
gateway of at least 12 per cent must be achieved in addition to the TSR
hurdle.
Subject to the performance criteria of each tranche being satisfied, share
rights will vest 12 months after the last day of the third Performance Period
(i.e. February / March 2015).
All entitlements under the LTID Plan are forfeited if Mr Robb resigns prior to
the end of the three year retention period.
Full details of the Managing Director’s LTID Plan can be found on the
Remuneration section of Iluka’s website (www.iluka.com).

been determined as the amount of the grant date fair value of the shares and/or shares rights that is yet to be

•
determining the strategic direction and financial objectives of Iluka and ensuring appropriate resources are

Details of the members of the Board, their date of appointment, qualifications and experience are set out on
pages 58 to 59 of
this report. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee considers and recommends
potential Directors to the Board based on the skills and experience they are able to bring to the Board. The Board

efficient decision-making.

their election or re-election. The Directors have adopted an internal guideline that the maximum preferred length
of service is ten years.
85
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Board recognises the importance of independent judgement in the decision-making process. The Board’s
Charter expressly requires that the majority of the Board be comprised of independent Directors and that the
Chairman is an independent Director.
The Board Charter sets out the criteria for determining whether a non-executive Director is independent. The
Board considers that all non-executive Directors are independent and no non-executive Directors have any
relationships, which could be considered to affect that independent status.
For further details on the criteria used for director independence, please refer to the copy of the Board Charter
available in the Governance section of the Iluka website.
MANAGING DIRECTOR
The Managing Director recommends policy, strategic direction and business plans for the Board’s approval and is
responsible for managing Iluka’s day-to-day activities.

by the non-executive Directors.

Each Director has an ongoing responsibility to:
•
•
disclose to the Board details of transactions or interests, actual or potential that may create a conflict of
interest; and
if requested by the Board, within a reasonable period, take such necessary and reasonable steps to remove
any conflict of interest.
If a Director cannot or will not remove a conflict of interest then the Director must, in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, absent himself or herself from the room when discussion and/or voting occurs on matters
about which the conflict relates.
DIRECTOR INDUCTION AND EDUCATION
Directors undergo an induction process upon appointment which includes a detailed briefing on Iluka, meeting
key executives and touring operational sites. Thereafter, Directors undertake operational site visits and are
provided with regular updates and briefings on current and emerging issues relating to the company and the
industry.
Directors are encouraged to undertake continuing education relevant to the discharge of their duties. Iluka meets
all reasonable costs of continuing Director education.
DIRECTORS' ACCESS TO INDEPENDENT ADVICE
A Director may, with prior written approval of the Chairman, obtain independent professional advice to assist the
Director in fulfilling their responsibilities. Iluka meets reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining that advice.
BOARD MEETINGS
In 2013, the Board met on nine occasions to conduct its duties. All meetings were scheduled, with one meeting
dedicated primarily to strategic planning. The Chairman chaired all the meetings.
The non-executive Directors periodically meet independent of management to discuss relevant issues.
Directors’ attendance at Board and Committee meetings are detailed on page 60 of this report.

advising the Board on corporate governance matters;
•
• management of the company secretarial function;

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
The Board has established two committees: the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Audit and
Risk Committee. Each committee functions under a specific charter and is comprised wholly of independent,
non-executive Directors. The structure and membership of these committees are reviewed periodically. Each
committee reviews its charter on an annual basis. Unless expressly delegated by the Board to a committee, a
committee submits all decisions of that committee to the full Board as recommendations to the Board.
REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for providing assistance and recommendations to
the Board in relation to:
•
•
•
•
•
development, review and implementation of the remuneration strategy of Iluka;

18 December 2013). Details of Directors' attendance at Remuneration and Nomination Committee meetings in

copy of the Audit and Risk Committee Charter available in the Governance section of the Iluka website.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

which is periodically facilitated by external consultants, serves to identify any issues and initiatives for improving
the functioning and performance of the Board. This annual review was last undertaken in December 2013.
Each of the Board’s committees also conducts an annual self-assessment of their performance in meeting their
key responsibilities. These reviews serve to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement. The
Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee completed their respective
self-assessments in December 2013.
87
SENIOR EXECUTIVES PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Twice yearly, the Managing Director undertakes a review of the performance of each senior executive against
individual objectives and deliverables linked to the Corporate Plan that were agreed at the beginning of the
performance period. These personal objectives relate to key areas of performance over which the individual has
accountability and influence. The performance reviews of the senior executives conducted in 2013 were in
accordance with the disclosed process.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee obtains independent remuneration benchmarking information for
comparative purposes. Salary reviews and short-term incentives are determined by assessing performance
against both individual performance and profitability and sustainability performance targets. Long-term incentives

peer group. In 2013, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee conducted those reviews in accordance with
the disclosed process.

Basis of preparation
This section of the financial report sets out the group’s accounting policies that relate to the financial statements
as a whole. Where an accounting policy is specific to one note, the policy is described in the note to which it
relates. This section also sets out information related to critical accounting estimates and judgements applied to
these financial statements.
1 Reporting entity
Iluka Resources Limited (company or parent entity) is domiciled in Australia. The financial statements are for the
group consisting of Iluka Resources Limited and its subsidiaries. A detailed list of the group's subsidiaries is
provided in note 28.
2 Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the
Corporations Act 2001. Iluka Resources Limited is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in mineral sands
exploration, project development, operations and marketing.
Iluka Resources Limited had to change some of its accounting policies as the result of new or revised accounting
standards which became effective for the annual reporting period commencing on 1 January 2013, which are
detailed in note 33.
The consolidated financial statements of
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Iluka Resources Limited also comply with International Financial
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial assets
and liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value.
(a) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Iluka Resources
Limited as at 31 December 2013 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Iluka Resources
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group.
Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the group. The group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included
in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which
control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the group.
Intercompany transactions and 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.
The group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the
group. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at
the date of exchange. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity
securities.
(ii) Employee Share Trust
The group's Employee Share Schemes are administered through the Iluka Director’s Executives and Employees
Share Acquisition trust (the trust). This trust is consolidated, as the substance of the relationship is that the trust
is controlled by the group. Shares in the company held by the trust are disclosed as treasury shares in the
consolidated financial statements and deducted from contributed equity, net of tax.
(b) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the company's functional and
presentation currency.
96
(ii) Transactions and balances
Where group companies based in Australia transact in foreign currencies, these transactions are translated into
Australian dollars using the exchange rate on that day. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are
translated to Australian dollars at the reporting date exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to Australian dollars at the exchange rate when the fair
value was determined. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary
items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
(iii) Group companies
The financial position of foreign operations is translated into Australian dollars at the exchange rates at the
reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations for each month are translated into Australian
dollars at average exchange rates. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve.
(iv) Hedge of net investment in foreign operations
The group has US dollar denominated borrowings that are used to hedge against translation differences arising
from assets held by the group’s US operations (see note 4 for more information about these assets).
To the extent that these borrowings do not exceed the net assets of the US operations, foreign currency
differences arising on the translation of these borrowings are recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. Any remaining differences are recognised in profit or
loss. If the US operations were to be disposed of (in full or in part), the relevant amount in the foreign currency
translation reserve would be transferred to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
(c) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred
is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the
consolidated balance sheet.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating
cash flows.
(d) Rounding of amounts
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 hundred thousand dollars,
or in certain cases, the nearest thousand dollars and the nearest dollar.
3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future in applying its accounting policies. The
resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions recognised in the period
in which the estimates are revised and future periods affected.
Impairment of assets
(i)
In accordance with the group’s accounting policy set out in note 13(e) non-current assets are assessed for
impairment when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable
amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) is determined as the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs
to sell estimated on the basis of discounted present value of the future cash flows.
97
The estimates of future cash flows for each CGU are based on significant assumptions including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
estimates of the quantities of mineral reserves and ore resources for which there is a high degree of
confidence of economic extraction and the timing of access to these reserves and ore resources;
future production levels and the ability to sell that production;
future product prices based on the group’s assessment of short and long term prices for each of the key
products;
future exchange rates for the Australian dollar compared to the US dollar using external
recognised economic forecasters;
successful development and operation of new mines in Australia and the US, consistent with latest forecasts;
future cash costs of production, sustaining capital expenditure, rehabilitation and mine closure; and
the asset specific discount rate applicable to the CGU.
forecasts by
Given the nature of the group’s mining activities, future changes in assumptions upon which these estimates are
based may give rise to material adjustments to the current or prior years. This could lead to a reversal of part, or
all, of impairment charges recorded in the current or prior years, or the recognition of new impairment charges in
the future such as the idle asset write downs of $40.0 million made in the year.
(ii) Rehabilitation and mine closure provisions
These provisions represent the discounted value of the present obligation to restore, dismantle and rehabilitate
certain items of property, plant and equipment. The discounted value reflects a combination of management’s
assessment of the nature and extent of the work required, the future cost of performing the work required, the
timing of the cash flows and the discount rate. Changes to one or more of these assumptions is likely to result in
a change to the carrying value of the provision and the related asset or a change to profit or loss in accordance
with the group's accounting policy stated in note 15(a). In 2013, changes to the discount rates in Australia and
the US have resulted in increases to the rehabilitation provisions of $38.4 million, of which $18.0 million was
charged to profit or loss in respect of closed sites.
The total rehabilitation and mine closure provision of $465.9 million (2012: $444.5 million) includes $299.6 million
(2012: $312.6 million) for assets no longer in use or for obligations arising from production process outputs.
Changes to the provisions for assets or operations no longer in use are charged to profit or loss and are reported
within rehabilitation and holding costs for closed sites in note 6. The changes to the provisions for closed sites,
excluding the aforementioned impact of the change in discount rates, was a reduction of $5.0 million (2012:
increase of $8.3 million).
(iii) Net realisable value and classification of inventory
The group’s assessment of the net realisable value and classification of its inventory holdings requires the use of
estimates, including the estimation of the relevant future product price and the likely timing of the sale of the
inventory.
Total
inventory at 31 December 2013 was $795.1 million, inclusive of a provision of $10.0 million to reduce
specific products to their net realisable value. $271.0 million (2012: $257.9 million) was classified as non-current
as it is not expected to be sold within 12 months of the balance sheet date. See note 12 for further details.

Performance for the year
This section focuses on the results and performance of the group. This covers both profitability and the resultant
return to shareholders via earnings per share combined with cash generation and the return of cash to
shareholders via dividends.
4 Segment information
(a) Description of segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
Managing Director. Cash, debt and tax balances are managed at a group level and, together with resource
development and other corporate activities, are not allocated to segments. The segments are unchanged from
those reported at 31 December 2012.
Australia (AUS) comprises the integrated mineral sands mining and processing operations in Victoria, Western
Australia and South Australia. Material
is mined from various deposits in the South West and Mid West of
Western Australia (Perth Basin), together with the Jacinth-Ambrosia deposit in South Australia (Eucla Basin) and
several deposits in Victoria (Murray Basin). The mined material is processed predominantly at Mineral Separation
Plants in the South West and Mid West of Western Australia and the Murray Basin to produce saleable products.
The processing activities in Western Australia also include the group’s synthetic rutile kilns. Mining and
processing activities in the South West of Western Australia, mining activities in the Mid West of Western
Australia and the group’s synthetic rutile operations were idled during 2013.
United States (US) comprises the integrated mineral sands mining and processing operations in Virginia and
rehabilitation obligations in Florida.
Mining Area C (MAC) comprises a deferred consideration iron ore royalty interest over certain mining tenements
in Australia operated by BHP Billiton Iron Ore.
Where finished product capable of sale to a third party is transferred between operating segments, the transfers
are made at arms length prices. Any transfers of intermediate products between operating segments are made at
cost. During 2013, $10.2 million of finished product was transferred from the US to Australia (2012: $3.0 million).
This transfer is excluded from the results below. Revenue from the sale of finished product from the transferred
material to third party customers is included in total segment sales to external customers for Australia.

(a) Sale of goods - Mineral sands
The group sells mineral sands under a range of International Commercial Terms. Product sales are recognised
as revenue when the group has transferred both the significant risks and rewards of ownership and control of the
products sold and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The passing of risk to the customer occurs
when the product has been dispatched to the customer and is no longer under the physical control of the group,
or when the customer has formally acknowledged its legal ownership of the product including all inherent risks.
Where the sold product continues to be stored in facilities the group controls, it is clearly identified and available
to the buyer.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue
are net of rebates, sales commissions, duties and other taxes.
(b) Mining Area C royalty income and amortisation of royalty asset
Royalty income is recognised on an accrual basis. Royalty income is received on a quarterly basis and any under
or over accrual applicable to previously recognised royalty income is adjusted for based on the receipt of the
royalty income entitlement.
The royalty entitlement asset is an intangible asset and is amortised on a straight-line basis ($0.4 million per
year) over its estimated useful life of 25 years, of which 15 years is remaining (2012: 16 years remaining). The
carrying value of the asset at the 31 December 2013 is $5.9 million (2012: $6.3 million).
(c)
Interest income
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

(a) Cash costs of production
Cash costs of production include mining and concentrating costs; transport of heavy mineral concentrate; mineral
separation; synthetic rutile production, costs for externally purchased ilmenite and production overheads. This
category also includes landowner royalty payments, but excludes Australian State Government royalties which
are reported separately. Cash costs of production also include by-product costs such as iron oxide processing,
char and WHIMs ilmenite transport costs of $19.6 million (2012: $7.7 million).
(b) Cost of goods sold and inventory movement
Cost of goods sold is the inventory value of each tonne of finished product sold. All production is added to
inventory at cost, which includes direct costs and an appropriate portion of
fixed and variable overhead
expenditure, including depreciation and amortisation, allocated on the basis of relative sales value. There are
separate inventory stockpile values for each product, including HMC and other intermediate products, at each
inventory location. The inventory value recognised as cost of goods sold for each tonne of finished product sold is
the weighted average value per tonne for the stockpile from which the product is sold.
Inventory movement represents the movement in balance sheet inventory of work in progress and finished
goods, including the non-cash depreciation and amortisation components and net realisable value adjustments of
$10.0 million (2012: nil).
(c) Restructure and idle capacity charges
Restructure and idle costs in 2013 include $33.5 million associated with restructuring (2012: $4.4 million), with
the balance relating to ongoing costs for operations and assets that have been idled.
Liabilities for employee termination benefits associated with restructuring activities are recognised when the
group is demonstrably committed to terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed
formal plan without possibility of withdrawal and there is no further service required. Where further service is
required to be eligible for the benefit, the liability is recognised over the relevant service period.
(d) Rehabilitation and holding costs for closed sites
These costs include adjustments to the rehabilitation provision for closed sites which are expensed in accordance
with the policy described note 15(a) arising from the annual review combined with ongoing holding costs for
closed sites such as property rates and taxes.
102
(e)
Idle asset write downs
At year end, the company’s assessment was that, in light of continued idling of some assets, as well as changes
to mine plans and successful technical developments, the carrying value of a number of idled Western Australian
assets had to be written down. The idle asset value adjustments relate to old equipment: three wet concentrator
plants; two mining unit plants; and capitalised expenditure associated with restarting synthetic rutile kiln 3 (SR
kiln 3) which was subsequently idled in the first half of 2013.
(f) Other expenses
Expenses also include the following:
Defined contribution superannuation
Defined benefits superannuation
Employee benefits (excluding share-based payments)
Share-based payments
Exploration expenditure (included in Resource development above)

Operating leases are leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not
transferred to the group. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor)
are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Earnings per share (EPS) is the amount of post-tax profit attributable to each share.
Basic EPS is calculated on the profit for the period attributable to equity owners of $18.5 million (2012: $363.2
million) divided by the weighted average number of shares on issue during the year, excluding treasury shares,
being 417,672,163 shares (2012: 417, 041,967 shares).
Diluted EPS takes into account the dilutive effect of all outstanding share rights vesting as ordinary shares. The
weighted average share rights outstanding of 1,274,951 (2012: 2,025,870 share rights) are added to the
weighted average number of shares on issue during the year disclosed above to give the weighted average
number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares used as the denominator for calculating diluted earnings
per share of 418,947,114 shares (2012: 419,067,837 shares).

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income
based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current tax charge is calculated

Since balance date the Directors have determined a final dividend for 2013 of 4 cents per share, fully franked
(2012: 10 cents, fully franked). The dividend is payable on 3 April 2014 for shareholders on the register as at 6
March 2014. The aggregate amount of the proposed dividend is $16.7 million, which has not been included in
provisions at balance sheet date as it was not declared on or before the end of the financial year.
The company has a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) which was suspended in 2010 until further notice.
(a) Franking Credits
The balance of franking credits available for future years is $113.8 million (2012: $133.5 million). This balance is
based on a tax rate of 30 per cent (2012: 30 per cent). These amounts include franking credits of $3.9 million
(2012: $126.7 million) that will arise from the payment of current income tax in Australia as provided for in these
financial statements and the reduction of $7.2 million (2012: reduction of $17.9 million) that will arise on payment
of the final dividend.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the value of the invoice sent to the customer and subsequently at the
amount considered recoverable (amortised cost). Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 45
days of the invoice being issued. The group sells mineral sands to substantially all its customers on credit terms.
Sales are generally denominated in US dollars. Revenue is recognised using spot exchange rates on the date of
sale, with trade receivables being translated at
the spot exchange rate at balance date with translation
differences accounted for in line with the group’s accounting policy (refer note 2(b)(ii)).
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are
written off. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is sufficient evidence that the group will
not be able to collect all amounts due.
At 31 December 2013, no trade receivables are impaired (2012: nil). There is $5.1 million overdue (2012: $0.9
million), of which $5.0 million are less than 28 days overdue (2012: $0.9 million). Due to the short term nature of
the group’s receivables, their carrying value is considered to approximate fair value.

Net realisable value is the amount estimated to be obtained from sale in the normal course of business, less any
anticipated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale, including royalties.
Consumable stores include ilmenite acquired from third parties, flocculant, diesel and warehouse stores. A
regular and ongoing review is undertaken to establish the extent of surplus, obsolete or damaged stores, which
are then valued at estimated net realisable value.

Inventories expected to be sold (or consumed in the case of stores) within twelve months after the balance sheet
date are classified as current assets, all other inventories are classified as non-current assets.

* Accumulated depreciation includes cumulative impairment charges
(a) Property, plant and equipment
Property plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. Cost
includes:
•
•
•
•
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items;
direct costs associated with the commissioning of plant and equipment, including pre-commissioning costs in
testing the processing plant;
if the asset is constructed by the group, the cost of all materials used in construction, direct labour on the
project, project management costs and unavoidable borrowing costs incurred during construction of assets
with a construction period greater than twelve months and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed
overheads; and
the present value of the estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on
which it is located.
107
As set out in note 15(a), in the case of rehabilitation provisions for assets which remain in use, adjustments to the
carrying value of the provision are offset by a change in the carrying value of the related asset. Total additions in
the year include $34.9 million (2012: $51.1 million) related to changes in the rehabilitation provision (refer note
15(a)).
(b) Maintenance and repairs
Certain items of plant used in the primary extraction, separation and secondary processing of extracted minerals
are subject to a major overhaul on a cyclical basis. Costs incurred during such overhauls are characterised as
either in the nature of capital or in the nature of repairs and maintenance. Work performed may involve:
(i)
the replacement of a discrete sub-component asset, in which case an asset addition is recognised and the
book value of the replaced item is written off; and
(ii) demonstrably extending the useful life or functionality of an existing asset, in which case the relevant cost is
added to the capitalised cost of the asset in question.
Costs incurred during a major cyclical overhaul which do not constitute (i) or (ii) above, are written off as repairs
and maintenance as incurred. General repairs and maintenance which are not characterised as part of a major
cyclical overhaul are expensed as incurred.
(c) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided to expense the cost of property, plant and equipment over its estimated useful life on
either a straight line or units of production basis. Units of production depreciation is calculated using the quantity
of heavy mineral concentrate extracted from the applicable mine or processed through the mine specific plant as
a percentage of the total quantity of heavy mineral concentrate planned to be extracted/processed in the current
and future periods based on mine plans. The basis of depreciation of each asset is reviewed annually and
changes to the basis of depreciation are made if the straight line or units of production basis is no longer
considered to represent the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits. The expected useful lives for
the main categories of assets are as follows:
Land
-
- Mine buildings
- Mine specific machinery and equipment
- Mine specific plant
- Mine reserves and development
- Other non-mine specific plant and equipment
not depreciated
the shorter of applicable mine life and 25 years
the applicable mine life
units of production
units of production
3-25 years
The reserves and life of each mine and the remaining useful life of each class of asset are reassessed at regular
intervals and the depreciation rates adjusted accordingly on a prospective basis.
(d) Assets not being depreciated
Included in property, machinery and equipment and mine reserves and development are amounts totalling $28.2
million and $1.6 million respectively (2012: $26.3 million and $0.6 million respectively) relating to assets under
construction which are currently not being depreciated as the assets are not ready for use.
In addition, within property, plant and equipment are amounts totalling $164.2 million (2012: $115.9 million) which
have not been depreciated in the year as mining of the related area of interest has not yet commenced or the
asset is currently idle.
(e) Recoverable amount of non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognised for the amount by which
the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's
fair value less costs to sell (FVLCS) and value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, operating
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (Cash Generating
Units). Assets that are not currently in use and not scheduled to be brought back in to use (idle assets) are
impairment may include significant changes in business
considered on a standalone basis.
performance or future operating plans along with changes in technology. Assets that have suffered an
impairment charge are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
Indicators of
In light of the continued idling of some assets, as well as changes to mine plans and successful technical
developments during the year, a $40.0 million write down (2012: $nil) of a number of idled Western Australian
assets occurred in the year. The write down relates to old equipment: three wet concentrator plants; two mining
unit plants; and capitalised expenditure associated with restarting synthetic rutile kiln 3 (SR kiln 3) which was
subsequently idled in the first half of 2013.
108
(f) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure
comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure. Expenditure is carried
forward when incurred in areas for which the group has rights of tenure and where economic mineralisation is
indicated, but activities have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or
otherwise of economically recoverable ore reserves and active and significant operations in relation to the area
are continuing. Each such project is regularly reviewed. If the project is abandoned or if it is considered unlikely
the project will proceed to development, accumulated costs to that point are written off immediately.
Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known mineral resource capable of supporting a mining
operation. Identifiable exploration assets acquired from another mining company are recognised as assets at
their cost of acquisition.
Projects are advanced to development status when it is expected that accumulated and future expenditure on
development can be recouped through project development or sale. Capitalised exploration is transferred to Mine
Reserves once the related ore body achieved JORC reserve status (reported in accordance with JORC, 2012)
and has been included in the life of mine plan.
All of the above expenditure is carried forward up to commencement of operations at which time it is amortised in
accordance with the reserves and development depreciation policy noted in (c) above.
During the year the group acquired all of the share capital in PKD Resources (Pvt) Ltd, a Sri Lankan domiciled
company which owns an exploration tenement located near the city of Puttalam in the North Western Province of
Sri Lanka. The consideration paid was US$5.0 million and is included within exploration and evaluation additions
above. Further details in relation to future consideration are detailed in note 30.

The group has obligations to dismantle and remove certain items of property, plant and equipment and to restore
and rehabilitate the land on which they sit.
A provision is raised for the estimated cost of settling the rehabilitation and restoration obligations existing at
balance date, discounted to present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate.
Where the obligation is related to an item of property, plant and equipment, its cost includes the present value of
the estimated costs of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site on which it is located. Costs that
relate to obligations arising from waste created by the production process are recognised as production costs in
the period in which they arise.
The discounted value reflects a combination of management's assessment of the nature and extent of the work
required, the future cost of performing the work required, the timing of the cash flows and the discount rate. The
increase in the provision due to passage of time of $16.6 million (2012: $24.6 million) is recognised as a finance
cost in note 16(d).
The provisions are reassessed at least annually. A change in any of the assumptions used to determine the
provisions could have a material impact on the carrying value of the provision. In the case of provisions for assets
which remain in use, adjustments to the carrying value of the provision are offset by a change in the carrying
value of the related asset. Where the provisions are for assets no longer in use, such as mines and processing
sites that have been closed, any adjustment is reflected directly in profit or loss.
110
The total rehabilitation and mine closure provision of $465.9 million (2012: $444.5 million) includes $299.6 million
(2012: $312.6 million) for assets no longer in use. Changes to the provisions for assets no longer in use are
charged/credited directly to profit or loss. A review of cost estimates resulted in a credit of $5.5 million (2012:
charge of $8.3 million) which is reported within the expense item Rehabilitation and holding costs for closed sites
in note 6. The change in discount rate resulted in a charge of $18.0 million (2012: nil) which is reported within the
finance costs item Rehabilitation discount rate changes in note 16(d).
(b) Employee benefits
The employee benefits provision relates to long service leave entitlements measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date,
discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and
currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Liabilities for annual leave are
included in payables in note 14.
The current provision represents amounts for vested long service leave for which the group does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. However,
based on past experience, the group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or
require payment within the next 12 months.
111
Capital structure and finance costs
This section outlines how the group manages its capital and related financing costs.
The group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that
it can continue to provide returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an efficient
capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The group monitors capital on the basis of the level of return on capital and also the level of net cash/debt and
compliance with bank covenants, including the gearing ratio calculated as a net debt / (net debt + equity). The
group manages funds on a group basis with all funds being drawn by the parent entity.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with financial institutions with original
maturities of three months or less.
Cash and deposits are at floating interest rates between 0.0 per cent and 2.95 per cent (2012: 0.0 per cent and
3.45 per cent) on US dollar and Australian dollar denominated deposits. The weighted average interest rate for
the year was 3.33 per cent (2012: 2.03 per cent).
(b) Interest-bearing liabilities
Interest-bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs, with
subsequent measurement at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under the amortised cost
method the difference between the amount initially recognised and the redemption amount is recognised in profit
or loss over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.
Interest-bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer
settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
A description of each of the facilities is provided below.
(i) Trade advance facility
In December 2013 Iluka entered into a US$9.9 million Trade advance facility. Drawings under the facility are at
the discretion of the facility provider based on the acceptance of credit insured receivables. The facility is fully
drawn and matures in May 2014.
112
(ii) US Private Placement Notes - 2003 Series
In June 2013, the US$40.0 million tranche was repaid in accordance with its maturity; this debt was subject to an
interest rate and cross currency swap to AUD with the effective repayment of $56.9 million being matched by
AUD debt drawn under the group's existing bank facilities. The final US$20.0 million tranche is due for repayment
in June 2015.
(iii) Multi Optional Facility Agreement
The Multi Optional Facility Agreement (MOFA) comprises a series of unsecured five year bilateral revolving credit
facilities with several domestic and foreign institutions, totaling $800 million which all expire in April 2017.
Drawings under the MOFA at 31 December 2013 were A$130.0 million and US$85.0 million (2012: US$85.0
million).
(c)
Interest rate exposure
Of the above interest-bearing liabilities, $236.5 million is subject to an effective weighted average floating interest
rate of 3.6 per cent (2012: interest-bearing liabilities of $81.8 million at 2.3 per cent; interest rate swaps (notional
principal) of $56.9 million at 3.9 per cent). The contractual repricing date of all of the floating rate interest-bearing
liabilities at the balance dates is within one year.
The only fixed interest rate borrowing at balance date is the $22.4 million (2012: $19.2 million) payable in respect
of the US Private Placement Senior Notes due in 2015.

Interest charges
(i)
Interest charges include interest on interest-bearing liabilities; including amounts paid or received on interest rate
swaps and finance lease charges.
(ii) Amortisation of deferred borrowing costs
Fees paid on establishment of borrowing facilities are recognised as transaction costs and amortised over the
period to which the facility relates. No transaction costs were capitalised in 2013 (2012: $8.8 million recognised in
the deferred borrowing costs balance above).
(iii) Rehabilitation and mine closure unwind
Rehabilitation and mine closure unwind represents the cost associated with the passage of time. Rehabilitation
provisions are recognised as the discounted value of the present obligation to restore, dismantle and rehabilitate
with the increase in the provision due to passage of time being recognised as a finance cost in accordance with
the policy described in note 15(a).

17 Financial risk management
The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of
financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the group’s financial performance. Financial
risk management is managed by a central treasury department under policies approved by the Board.
(a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will
affect the group’s income or value of its holdings of financial instruments.
(i) Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities
The group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising predominantly from the US
dollar which is the currency in which the group’s sales are generally denominated. As discussed in note 2(b)(ii),
the group has operations in the US and the balance sheet translation risk is managed by borrowing in US dollars
to provide a hedge for the net US dollar investment in the US operation (translation differences are taken to the
foreign currency translation reserve). US dollar borrowings also provide a ‘natural’ hedge against movements in
US dollar receivables from Australian sales (translation differences are taken to profit or loss).
The group's exposure to USD foreign currency risk (by entities which have an Australian dollar functional
currency) at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

(ii) Group sensitivity
The average US dollar exchange rate applied during the year was 0.9678 (2012: 1.0358). The US dollar spot rate
at 31 December 2013 was 0.8907 (31 December 2012: 1.0403).
the US dollar exchange rate
strengthened/(weakened) against the Australian dollar by 10 per cent (2012: 10 per cent), with all other variables
held constant, the group's post-tax profit for the year and equity would have moved as per the table below.

The foreign currency sensitivity related to the US Private Placement Notes impacts equity rather than profit as it
is a hedge of the net investment in the US operations.
(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the group’s borrowings and cash deposits. When managing interest rate risk the
group seeks to mitigate its risk by utilising a blend of floating and fixed rate debt. During 2013 and 2012, the
group's borrowings at variable rates were denominated in Australian dollars and US dollars. At 31 December
2013, if interest rates for the full year were -/+ 1 per cent from the year-end rate with all other variables held
constant, post-tax profit for the year would have moved as per the table below.

The sensitivity is calculated using the net debt position at 31 December 2013. The interest charges in note 16(d)
of $13.4 million (2012: $11.5 million) reflect interest-bearing liabilities in 2013 that range between $76.1 million
and $259.0 million (2012: $67.5 million and $356.1 million).
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to
customers.
The group has policies in place to ensure that credit sales are only made to customers with an appropriate credit
history. The group also maintains an insurance policy to assist in managing the credit risk of its customers and
therefore has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Of the total trade receivables balance of $159.3 million,
$95.3 million is covered by an insurance policy and $13.9 million by letters of credit. The insurance policies which
have a maximum claim amount of $61.7 million. All
trade receivables are considered low risk. Derivative
counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions and policies limit the
amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.
The group has policies in place to ensure that cash deposits are held with counterparties with an appropriate
credit rating. Credit exposure limits are approved by the Board based on both credit and sovereign ratings.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk
management involves maintaining sufficient cash on hand or undrawn credit facilities to meet the operating
requirements of the business. This is managed through committed undrawn facilities under the MOFA (refer note
16(b)(iii)) of $574.6 million at balance date, and prudent cash flow management.
(d) Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyses the group’s interest-bearing liabilities and net settled derivative financial instruments
into maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. For
the MOFA, the contractual maturity date is the facility expiry date of April 2017, contractual cash flows are until
the next contractual re-pricing date which are all within one year. The amounts disclosed in the table are the
contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact
of discounting is not significant. The fair value of interest rate swaps (2012 only) is calculated as the present
value of the estimated future cash flows. All other financial liabilities are due within 12 months (refer note 14).

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between accounting
carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, other than for the exemptions
permitted under accounting standards.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax
assets and unused tax losses, to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available to utilise these
deductible temporary differences, other than for the exemptions permitted under accounting standards. The
carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income
tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income
statement.
Deferred tax assets of $20.0 million (2012: $20.8 million) and deferred tax liabilities of $32.9 million (2012: $26.6
million) are expected to be recovered in less than 12 months of the balance sheet date.
118
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity
and the same taxation authority. Given this, the net deferred tax assets arising in the group’s US operations have
not been offset against the net deferred tax liabilities arising in the group’s Australian operations.

The asset revaluation reserve records revaluations of non-current assets prior to the adoption of AIFRS.
Transfers are made to retained earnings on disposal of previously revalued assets.
(b) Share-based payments reserve
The employee share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the fair value of equity instruments granted
but not yet issued to employees under the group's various equity-based incentive schemes. On settlement of the
share-based payment by the issue of equity instruments to employees, the cost of the on-market acquisition is
transferred from treasury shares (refer note 18(b)) to the share based payment reserve.
(c) Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the net investment in foreign operations, including US dollar
denominated debt used as a hedge of the net investment, are taken into the foreign currency translation reserve
net of applicable income tax, as described in note 2(b)(iv). US$20.0 million of debt (2012: US$20.0 million) is
designated as a hedge of the net investment in the US operations at balance date. The reserve is recognised in
profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
119
24 Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via incentive plans, the Directors', Executives
and Employees Share Acquisition Plan and the Employee Share Ownership scheme. Information relating to
these schemes is set out in the Remuneration Report.
The fair value of shares granted is determined based on market prices at grant date, taking into account the
terms and conditions upon which those shares were granted. The fair value is recognised as an expense through
profit or loss on a straight-line basis between the grant date and the vesting date for each respective plan.
The fair value of share rights is independently determined using a Monte Carlo simulation that takes into account
the exercise price, the term of the share right, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected
price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate of the term of the
share right. The fair value of the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP - TSR tranche) also takes into account the
company's predicted share prices against the comparator group performance at vesting date.
A credit to the share-based payments expense arises where unvested entitlements lapse on resignation or the
non-fulfillment of the vesting conditions that do not relate to market performance. Payroll tax payable on the grant
of restricted shares or share rights is recognised as a component of the share-based payments expense when
paid.
The share-based payment expense recognised in profit or loss of $5.5 million (2012: $9.7 million) results from
several schemes summarised below.

(i) Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
The fair value of the STIP is determined as the volume weighted average price of ordinary shares over the five
trading days following the release of the company’s annual results.
(ii) Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
The fair value at grant date for the 2013 LTIP Plan takes into account the exercise price of $nil, the share price at
grant date of $10.91, the expected price volatility of the share price (based on historical volatility), the expected
dividend yield of 3.25% and the risk free rate of return of 2.92%. The fair value of the TSR tranche also takes into
account the company’s predicted share prices against the comparator group performance at vesting date.
Prior year expenses related to rights that do not vest for the Return on Equity (ROE) tranche are credited to the
share-based payments expense. The credit for the 2012 ROE tranche is based on the likelihood that the
threshold will not be achieved.
120
(iii) Managing Director’s Long Term Incentive Deferred (LTID) share rights
The LTID plan performance period ended on 1 March 2014. Of the 750,000 share rights offered, 250,000 will vest
based on the company’s financial performance over the three year period. However, vesting will not occur until
March 2015, 12 months after the end of performance period. The lower LTID expense in 2013 is due to the
threshold ROE not being achieved in 2013.
Full details of the LTID share rights granted in March 2011 and approved by shareholders at the 2011 AGM are
set out in the Remuneration Report. The fair value of $11.62 per right is the weighted average for all share rights
in the LTID.
(iv) Employee share plan
A total of 56,620 (2012: 46,200) shares were issued to eligible employees who participated in the plan. Each
participant was issued with shares worth $1,000 based on a volume weighted average market price of $10.47
(2012: $13.33) for the five days prior to the start of the offer period.
(v) Restricted employee share plan
In 2012, a total of 125,488 restricted shares were awarded to eligible employees who would have been entitled to
participate in the Employee Share Plan for 2009/10 that was cancelled.

26 Retirement benefit obligations
(a) Superannuation plan
(i) Australia
All employees of the group who do not elect an alternate fund under the Superannuation Fund Choice Legislation
are entitled to benefits on leaving service, retirement, disability or death from the Iluka Section of the ING Master
Trust, a sub-plan of the ING Masterfund. Within the Iluka Plan (the plan) the vast majority of members are entitled
to accumulation (that is, defined contribution) benefits only. The plan also provides defined lump sum and
pension benefits based on years of service and final average salary for a small number of members. The
accumulation contribution section receives fixed contributions from group companies. The group's legal or
constructive obligation is limited to these contributions.
(ii) USA
All employees of the United States (US) operations are entitled to benefits from the US operations' pension plans
on retirement, disability or death. The US operations have one remaining defined benefit plan and one defined
contribution plan. The defined benefit plan provides a monthly benefit based on average salary and years of
service. The defined contribution plan receives an employee's elected contribution and an employer's match-up
to a fixed percentage. The entity's legal or construction obligation is limited to these contributions.
The following sets out details in respect of the defined benefit sections only of the Australian and US plans. The
expense recognised in relation to the defined contribution plans is disclosed in note 6(f) and is a related party
transaction.
(b) Financial position
The net financial position of the group’s defined benefit plans based on information supplied from the plans'
actuarial advisors are, for the Australian plan a surplus $0.3 million (2012: deficit $0.4 million) and for the US plan
a deficit $4.1 million (2012: deficit $8.2 million). A net deficit of $3.8 million (2012: deficit $8.6 million) is included
in non-current provisions in note 15. The table below provides a summary of the net financial position at 31
December for the past five years.

(c) Transactions with Key Management Personnel
There were no transactions between the group and Key Management Personnel that were outside of the nature
described below:
(i) occurrence was within a normal employee, customer or supplier relationship on terms and conditions no more
favourable than those it is reasonable to expect the group would have adopted if dealing at arms length with
an unrelated individual;
(ii) information about these transactions does not have the potential to adversely affect the decisions about the
allocation of scarce resources made by users of the financial report, or the discharge of accountability by the
Key Management personnel; and
(iii) the transactions are trivial or domestic in nature.

The loss for the year includes expenses of $13.1 million for the write off of idle assets and $7.8 million for
rehabilitation discount rate changes. The profit for the prior year includes dividends received from controlled
entities of $475.0 million.
(c) Contingent liabilities of the parent entity
The parent had contingent liabilities for performance commitments and guarantees of $48.7 million as at 31
December 2013 (2012: $28.9 million).
(d) Contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant or equipment
As at 31 December 2013, the parent entity had contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant or
equipment totalling $0.8 million (2012: $7.0 million).
(e) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial
statements, except as set out below.
Investments in subsidiaries
(i)
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost.
(ii) Tax consolidation legislation
Iluka Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax
consolidation legislation as of 1 January 2004. On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the
tax consolidation group entered into a tax sharing agreement which limits the joint and several liability of the
wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Iluka Resources Limited.

30 Contingent liabilities
(a) Bank guarantees
The group has a number of bank guarantees in favour of various government authorities and service providers to
the total value of

performance commitments and guarantees was $135.6 million (2012: $115.0 million).
its obligations under exploration and mining tenements. At 31 December 2013,
(b) Native title
There is some risk that native title, as established by the High Court of Australia's decision in the Mabo case,
exists over some of the land over which the group holds tenements or over land required for access purposes. It
is impossible at this stage to quantify the impact, if any, which these developments may have on the operations
of the group.
(c) Sri Lanka exploration deposits
During the year the group acquired all of the share capital in PKD Resources (Pvt) Ltd, a Sri Lankan domiciled
company which owns an exploration tenement located near the city of Puttalam in the North Western Province of
Sri Lanka. The consideration for the acquisition comprised:
•
•
•
•
payment of US$5.0 million to the shareholders and creditors of PKD;
possible payment of US$2.0 million on the grant of a mining license over EL 170;
possible payment of US$8.0 million on the Iluka Board approving a development on EL 170; and
the payment of an annual trailing payment calculated at one per cent of the gross sale proceeds received
from the annual sale of all mineral products and sand clay produced from the tenement, less the US$2.0
million paid on the grant of the mining license over EL 170, which is being treated as an advance on the
trailing payment.
Only the initial payment of US$5.0 million has been recognised in the financial statements as the payment of the
other consideration is not considered probable at this stage.
(d) Other claims
In the course of its normal business, the group occasionally receives claims arising from its operating activities. In
the opinion of the Directors, all such matters are covered by insurance or, if not covered, are without merit or are
of such a kind or involve such amounts that would not have a material adverse effect on the operating results or
financial position of the group if settled unfavourably.
31 Related party transactions
The only related party transactions are with Directors and Key Management Personnel (refer note 27). Details of
material controlled entities are set out in note 28. The ultimate Australian controlling entity and the ultimate parent
entity is Iluka Resources Limited.
32 Other accounting policy
(a) Carbon emissions
Carbon emission units granted by the Australian Government are recognised at nil value. Carbon emission units
purchased for compliance purposes under the Australian Carbon Pricing Mechanism are recognised at cost.
An emissions liability is recognised as a liability when actual emissions exceed the emission units granted by the
Australian Government. Any liability recognised is measured at the value of the purchased units held, with any
excess liability measured at the current market value of carbon units at the reporting date. The movement in the
liability is recognised in the income statement.
128
33 New accounting standards and interpretations
Iluka Resources Limited had to change some of its accounting policies as the result of new or revised accounting
standards which became effective for the annual reporting period commencing on 1 January 2013. The affected
policies and standards are:
• Principles of consolidation - new standard AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and
• AASB Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of Surface Mine
One other new standard that
is AASB 13 Fair Value
Measurement. This standard introduced additional disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities recorded at
fair value. The group does not have any assets or liabilities recorded at fair value at 31 December 2013 and so
this standard has not impacted on the current year financial statements.
is applicable for the first
time for the 2013 report
(i) AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
AASB 10 was issued in August 2011 and replaces the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and in Interpretation 112 Consolidation - Special Purpose
Entities. Under the new principles, the group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to,
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power
over the entity.
The group has reviewed its investments in other entities to assess whether the consolidation conclusion in
relation to these entities is different under AASB 10 than under AASB 127. No differences were found and
therefore no adjustments to any of the carrying amounts in the financial statements are required as a result of the
adoption of AASB 10.
Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
(ii)
Interpretation 20 sets out the accounting for overburden waste removal (stripping) costs in the production phase
of a mine. It states that these costs can only be recognised as an asset if they can be attributed to an identifiable
component of the ore body, can be measured reliably and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to
the entity. The costs form part of Mine Reserves and Development and are charged to profit or loss as
amortisation over the life of the identified ore body.
Previously, the Group’s accounting policy has been to defer expenditure associated with the removal of mine
overburden after the initial development of a mine and charge it to profit or loss as a cash cost of production over
its useful life, which typically does not exceed one year.
The group has reviewed its operations and determined that no material deferred stripping undertaken at any
producing mine met the asset recognition criteria set out in IFRIC 20, therefore no adjustments to any of the
carrying amounts in the financial statements are required as a result of the adoption of Interpretation 20.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31
December 2013 reporting periods. The group's assessment of
those new standards and
interpretations considered relevant to the group is set out below. The group does not intend to early adopt any of
the new standards or interpretations.
the impact of
(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from
AASB 9 and AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9
(December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2015)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets
and financial liabilities. The group has not yet determined the extent of the impact, if any.
(ii) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management
Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013)
These amendments remove the individual key management personnel disclosure requirements from AASB 124
Related Party Disclosures. While this will reduce the disclosures that are currently required in the notes to the
financial statements (note 27), it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Iluka
Resources Limited
Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Iluka Resources Limited (the company), which
comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2013, the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended
on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’
declaration for Iluka Resources Limited (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises
the company and the entities it controlled at 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 control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, 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 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 judgement, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the consolidated
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations
Act 2001.

1Competent Persons - Ore Reserves
Eucla Basin (South Australia) Perth Basin (Western Australia) and Murray Basin (Victoria/New South Wales): C Lee
(MAusIMM (CP))
Atlantic Seaboard (Virginia, United States of America): C Stilson (SME)
2Ore Reserves are a sub-set of Mineral Resources.
3Rounding may generate differences in last decimal place.
4Mineral assemblage is reported as a percentage of in situ heavy mineral (HM) content.
5Ilmenite currently has had no value ascribed in the reserve optimisation process for the Murray Basin. Metallurgical testwork
and marketing studies are presently underway; the outcomes of which may see a revision of the Ore Reserves.
6Rutile component in Perth Basin South West operation is sold as a leucoxene product.
7Rutile is included in ilmenite for the Atlantic Seaboard region.
Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources are estimated using all available geological and relevant drill hole and assay data,
including mineralogical sampling and test work on mineral recoveries and final product qualities. Reserve estimates are
determined by the consideration of all of the “modifying factors” in accordance with the JORC Code, and for example, may
include but are not limited to, product prices, mining costs, metallurgical recoveries, environmental consideration, access and
approvals. These factors may vary significantly between deposits. Resource estimates are determined by consideration of
geology, HM cut-off grades, mineralisation thickness vs. overburden ratios and consideration of the potential mining and
extraction methodology. These factors may vary significantly between deposits.
The information in relation to the Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources for Australia and the USA was first prepared and
disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the 2012 JORC Code on the basis that the
information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
The information in relation to the Mineral Resources for Sri Lanka has been separately reported in an announcement to the
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 5 August 2013 “Acquisition of Sri Lankan Tenement and Heavy Mineral Resource
Base” which complies with the guidelines of the 2012 JORC Code.
133
The information in this report relating to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Competent
Persons (as defined in the JORC Code). Each of the Competent Persons for deposits located outside Australia is a member of
a Recognised Overseas Professional Organisations as listed by the ASX. Each of the Competent Persons had, at the time of
reporting, sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity
they were undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the JORC Code. At the reporting date, each Competent
Person listed in this report was a full-time employee of Iluka Resources Limited. Each Competent Person consents to the
inclusion in this report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.
All of the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve figures reported represent estimates at 31 December 2013. All tonnes and grade
information has been rounded, hence small differences may be present in the totals. All of the Mineral Resource information is
inclusive of Ore Reserves (i.e. Mineral Resources are not additional to Ore Reserves).
