At a time when many junior explorers have struggled to raise capital and carry out exploration, Impact has had its most successful year since its ASX listing in 2006. Capital raisings from existing and new shareholders including new major shareholder, Squadron Resources, for a total of $6.9 million and a research and development rebate of $1.2 million resulted in Impact raising $8.1 million. The Company’s exploration activities have been very actively pursued with more exciting results confirming the Company’s optimism for the Commonwealth and Broken Hill projects in New South Wales. As described in the Review of Operations in this Annual Report, Impact has now shown that the adjoining Red Hill and Dora East projects at Broken Hill contain robust widths and high grades of 12 different metals – platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium, iridium, osmium, ruthenium, nickel, copper, zinc, silver and lead. This is unprecedented in the Broken Hill region. The Company’s tenement holdings have been substantially increased. The Commonwealth project has always been identified as containing a very large mineralised system. The Company’s recent drilling, particularly around Silica Hill, has confirmed this with the outstanding September drill hole CMIPT046 intercept of 41.3 metres at 2.0 g/t gold and 176 g/t silver (4.7 g/t gold equivalent) from 61 metres; which includes 16.3 metres at 3.7 g/t gold and 246 g/t silver (7.6 g/t gold equivalent) from 86 m. This, together with drill holes CMIPT026 and CMIPT011 indicate the potential for a significant deposit. The Company’s other projects at Mulga Tank (Western Australia), Clermont (Queensland) and Botswana Uranium, remain valid and strong exploration targets. Management is considering how to take these projects further. We welcome to the Board Ms Felicity Gooding who was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Impact on 18 February 2016 as Squadron’s representative and thank her predecessor, Aaron Hood, for his contribution. Ms Gooding is the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Minderoo Group, which represents selected philanthropic and private business holdings of Mr Andrew and Mrs Nicola Forrest. Felicity is a Chartered Accountant with more than 15 years’ experience and has held senior positions in a number of accounting and mining companies. We also welcome the appointment of Mr Bernard Crawford as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer of Impact Minerals on 4 April 2016. Impact’s management team lead by Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, has worked extremely hard over the year and Impact’s exploration results are testimony to their highly professional efforts. On your behalf I thank them for their great work and commitment to the Company’s success. peter unsworth Chairman IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 5   REviEw Of OPERATiONs 1. CommonweaLth GoLD-siLver-Base metaL proJeCt (ipt 100%) The Commonwealth Project comprises three 100% owned exploration licences that cover about 315 sq km of the highly prospective Lachlan Fold Belt about 100 km north of Orange in NSW. The belt is host to many major gold-silver-copper mines including the Cadia-Ridgeway deposits that contain at least 25 million ounces of gold and 5 million tonnes of copper (Figure 1). Recent work at Commonwealth has delivered a possible breakthrough discovery at the Silica Hill Prospect and as this report goes to press very encouraging drill results are being returned from what will be a new gold-silver deposit. Work is now focussed on defining the extents of this deposit to help determine the programme of work required to define a resource. figure 1. Location of the Commonwealth Project within the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW, home to many significant gold and copper mines. A significant amount of work was completed during the year culminating in the major drill programme that lead to the Silica Hill discovery. The programme comprised about 4,600 m of RC and diamond drilling and tested a number of geophysical and geochemical targets at three other prospects as well at Silica Hill. These are the Commonwealth deposit and the Welcome Jack-Walls and Doughnut Prospects (Figure 2). Page 6 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 The geophysical and geochemical targets drilled, which represent only a modest proportion of the targets identified thus far at Commonwealth, were generated from a wide range of activities during the year and all built upon extensive and detailed field mapping of the key areas. The work included: • a reinterpretation of down hole and surface geophysical electromagnetic (EM) and Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) data which lead to several new down hole surveys being completed and re- interpreted; • soil geochemistry surveys; • a study of the alteration minerals and geochemistry around the Commonwealth deposit utilising an extensive database of assay data and measurements from a handheld XRF instrument to identify halos that may help vector towards mineralisation; and • an interpretation of a ground gravity survey carried out in early 2015. A number of high density anomalies were identified that may represent possible massive sulphide bodies. In addition to the Silica Hill discovery, the drill programme successfully identified extensions to the Commonwealth gold-silver-base metal deposit at both Main Shaft and Commonwealth South and identified potential for further near surface resources at the Walls Prospect (Figure 2). 1.1 Commonwealth Deposit: main shaft and Commonwealth south In 2014 Impact declared a maiden Inferred Resource for the Commonwealth deposit prepared in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code by independent resource consultants Optiro at a 0.5 g/t gold cut off, of: 720,000 tonnes at 4.7 g/t gold equivalent for a contained 110,000 gold equivalent ounces comprising 2.8 g/t gold, 48 g/t silver, 1.5% zinc, 0.6% lead and 0.1% copper. The resource, which is open along trend and at depth, contains both massive sulphide mineralisation at the Main Shaft prospect and disseminated, vein and lesser massive sulphide mineralization at the Commonwealth South prospect. It extends from surface to an average depth of 90 m, has a strike length of 400 m and is up to 25 m thick. A separate Inferred Mineral Resource (included within the overall resource) has also been calculated for the massive sulphide lens at Main Shaft alone to demonstrate the high grade nature of such deposits that are the principal target for Impact’s exploration programme. The Main Shaft Inferred Resource is: 145,000 tonnes at 9.9 g/t gold equivalent for a contained 46,000 gold equivalent ounces comprising 4.3 g/t gold, 142 g/t silver, 4.8% zinc, 1.7% lead and 0.2% copper. Note: further information on the resource estimate can be found in Section 1.5. The gold equivalency is slightly different to that quoted in 2014 only because of changes in metal prices. This change is not material and there are no other material changes to the Resource Estimate. In the 2016 drill programme further high grade gold, silver and base metal mineralisation was discovered in three drill holes down plunge and along trend from the Commonwealth deposit. These have extended the deposit for at least 30 to 40 metres along trend, up dip and down plunge to the south. The mineralisation is still open. These results, and the extension of the massive sulphide in particular, indicate the potential to materially increase the Inferred Resource for the Commonwealth deposit with further drilling. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 7 REviEw Of OPERATiONs main shaft At Main Shaft, drill hole CMIPT031 targeted an EM conductor interpreted from a previous downhole survey and intersected a 7 metre thick zone of massive sulphide mineralisation with exceptional silver grades (Figure 3). The hole returned: 7 metres at 6.3 g/t gold, 496 g/t silver (15.9 ounces), 7.2% zinc, 2.9% lead and 0.2% copper (17.7 g/t gold equivalent) from 91 metres including 3 metres at 10.6 g/t gold, 571 g/t silver (18.4 ounces), 7.8% zinc, 2.1% lead and 0.2% copper (23.0 g/t gold equivalent) from 92 metres and also including 1 metre at 2.5 g/t gold, 979 g/t silver (31.5 ounces) 8.3% zinc, 4.4% lead and 0.1% copper (21.4 g/t gold equivalent) from 95 metres. The hole is 10 metres down dip and plunge from the nearest drill hole and the mineralisation is open to the south east, down plunge. Further drilling is required. figure 2. Geology and location of the four priority prospects at the Commonwealth Project: Commonwealth, Silica Hill, Welcome Jack Trend and Doughnut. The Commonwealth Prospect contains the Commonwealth deposit that has two connected parts, Main Shaft and Commonwealth South. Page 8 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) Commonwealth south At Commonwealth South two diamond holes targeted extensions to the deposit along trend and down dip and one diamond hole was drilled close to a previous high grade intercept in RC hole CMIPT017 to better understand the controls on the high grade mineralization (intercept of 4 m at 41.8 g/t gold, 62 g/t silver, 3.8% zinc and 1.6% lead). Hole CMIPT022, drilled down plunge to previous mineralisation was designed to test a small downhole EM conductor. No source for the conductor was found. However, the hole returned a thick mineralised intercept of: 13.6 metres at 2.1 g/t gold, 21 g/t silver, 0.4% zinc and 0.2% lead (2.6 g/t gold equivalent) from 68.7 metres including 0.6 metres at 10.8 g/t gold, 44 g/t silver (1.5 ounces), 2.5% zinc and 1% lead (12.4 g/t gold equivalent). This is a significant intercept and has extended Commonwealth South mineralisation for 30 metres along trend to the south and helped confirm the south plunge to the mineralisation (Figures 4 and 5). Hole CMIPT025 which was drilled up plunge and close to CMIPT017 returned: 2.6 metres at 10.3 g/t gold, 55.7 g/t silver (1.8 ounces), 2.5% zinc and 0.9% lead (12.6 g/t gold equivalent) from 88.1 metres including 0.9 metres at 23.3 g/t gold, 94.6 g/t silver (3 ounces), 3.6% zinc and 1.6% lead (27.1 g/t gold equivalent) All of these drill results support Impact’s interpretation that the Commonwealth deposit is controlled by south plunging high grade shoots that are open along trend and at depth (Figure 3). A detailed structural interpretation is in progress to better understand the orientation of the high grade shoots at depth. The results at the Commonwealth deposit also indicate that a further intensive and close spaced drill programme is now required to continue to expand the resource.

Recent drill holes CMIPT022 and CMIPT031 indicate mineralisation is open down plunge in at least 2 areas 1.2 silica hill At the emerging Silica Hill discovery, significant gold and silver mineralisation has now been intersected in four holes over an area of 200 metres by 100 metres and down to a depth of 100 metres below surface (Figures 4, 5 and 6). Hole CMIPT026 intersected lower grade mineralisation from surface, and Holes CMIPT046, CMIPT043 and CMIPT011 intersected deeper, higher grade parts of the system and also established that the true thickness of the mineralised zone is about 50 metres. Page 10 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) figure 4. Surface geology map showing significant drill intercepts at Silica Hill and Main Shaft. On the two sections drilled so far, it appears that the grade is increasing with depth. To the north (Figures 4 and 5), Hole CMIPT026 returned 39 metres at 0.3 g/t gold and 16 g/t silver from 5 metres down hole with individual one metre assays up to 1 g/t gold and 32 g/t silver. The underlying hole CMIPT046 returned 41.3 metres at 2.0 g/t gold and 176 g/t silver (4.7 g/t gold equivalent) from 61 metres; which includes 16.3 metres at 3.7 g/t gold and 246 g/t silver (7.6 g/t gold equivalent) from 86 m. As shown in Figure 6, the intercept includes numerous high grade gold and silver intercepts from individual veins and groups of veins (which have been sampled in detail) including: 1 metre at 12.2 g/t gold and 680 g/t silver including 0.3 metres at 23 g/t gold and 1,110 g/t silver; 1 metre at 5.3 g/t gold and 924 g/t silver; 1.7 metres at 3.8 g/t gold and 1,176 g/t silver; and 0.7 metres at 1.5 g/t gold and 855 g/t silver. There are 30 individual assays with more than 2 g/t gold and 12 individual assays with more than 500 g/t silver. These results define an upper silver-rich zone and lower gold-rich zone to the mineralisation. The high grade mineralisation lies within a thicker zone of continuous mineralisation that has returned: 74.5 metres at 1.2 g/t gold and 106 g/t silver (2.9 g/t gold equivalent).

Detail of gold and silver assays for Hole CMIPT046. Note that the gold grades have been cut off at 10 g/t, and silver grades are at log scale to allow proper visualisation of the grades of up to 10 g/t Au and 1,490 g/t Ag. Page 12 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) To the south (Figure 7) Hole CMIPT043 returned: 68 metres at 0.5 g/t gold, 43 g/t silver, or 1.3 g/t gold equivalent from 99 metres including the upper silver-rich zone of 37 metres at 71 g/t silver (2.3 ounces) and 0.1 g/t gold and the lower gold-rich zone of 18 m at 1.7 g/t gold and 24 g/t silver from 149 metres. The upper silver rich zone contains eight individual one metre intercepts that returned between 122 g/t (4 ounces) and 525 g/t (17 ounces) of silver. Two assays of semi-massive sulphide veins about 15 cm thick in the lower gold-rich part of the system in Hole 043 returned 5.6 g/t and 5.8 g/t gold. Hole CMIPT011 drilled below CMIPT043 (Figure 7) returned bonanza silver grades with gold as follows: The mineralised zone in Hole CMIPT011 is comprised of numerous narrow high grade and bonanza grade sulphide veins that are up to 40 cm thick as well as disseminated sulphides within the rock surrounding the veins. Both the veins and the surrounding rock contain extensive visible silver minerals and lesser zinc and lead sulphides. The overall intercept for Hole CMIPT011 is: • 48.6 metres at 137 g/t silver (4.4 ounces) and 0.5 g/t gold from 122 metres down hole, or 2.5 g/t gold equivalent. • 1.75 metres at 1,785 g/t silver (57 ounces) and 1.8 g/t gold from 147.7 metres including: 0.9 metres at 3,146 g/t silver (101 ounces) and 2.4 g/t gold from 148.1 metres. • 23 metres at 224 g/t silver (3.6 ounces) and 1.0 g/t gold from 147.7 metres including: 2.9 metres at 406 g/t silver (13 ounces) and 0.6 g/t gold from 157.6 metres within which is a 15 cm vein that returned 3,600 g (116 ounces) of silver and 0.4 g/t gold; and also including: 4 metres at 104 g/t (3.4 ounces) silver and 1.5 g/t gold from 160 metres and 1.1 metres at 4.7 g/t gold and 23 g/t silver from 169.5 metres. figure 7. East-West cross section showing results for Holes CMIPT026 and 046. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 13 REviEw Of OPERATiONs In addition it is evident that there is a large silver “halo” of up to 10 to 15 g/t silver in the Silica Hill rhyolite which extends further outwards over many hundreds of square metres (Figures 4 and 7). It is possible that this may be a “leakage halo” from depth and accordingly the down-dip extension of the mineralisation in Holes 043 and 011 is a compelling drill target. Ongoing studies by Impact now suggest that the mineralisation at Silica Hill and Main Shaft may be linked at depth. There is a clear overlap in the nature and style of mineralisation, in particular silver, as well as the alteration minerals between the two prospects. Areas where the two styles of mineralisation connect will be priority target areas. 1.3 welcome Jack-walls trend walls prospect The maiden drill hole at the Walls Prospect located 1.2 km east of Commonwealth discovered a new 20 metre thick zone (true width) of gold and silver mineralisation. The Walls prospect occurs at the southern end of the Welcome Jack Trend which extends over a strike length of at least one kilometre and has never been drill tested (Figures 2, 8 and 9). The first exploration drill hole CMIPT027 has returned a very encouraging thick and robust intercept of: 20 m at 0.5 g/t gold and 27 g/t silver (1 g/t gold equivalent) from 55 metres down hole: including 12 m at 0.7 g/t gold and 42 g/t (one and a half ounces) of silver (1.3 g/t gold equivalent) including 1 m at 2.9 g/t gold and 144 g/t silver and 1.1% zinc (5.7 g/t gold equivalent). figure 8. Geology of the Welcome Jack-Walls Trend with drill results and IP and soil geochemistry anomalies. This 20 m thick zone of silver-gold mineralisation at about 50 m from surface is interpreted to be the down dip extension of high grade veins mined at surface where previous explorers returned rock chip assays of up to 15 g/t gold and 600 g/t silver. The maiden drill result is highly encouraging for the discovery of further high grade gold-silver mineralisation and indicates the potential for near surface open pit resources at Walls. Page 14 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) welcome Jack prospect An RC drill hole, CMIPT028 has also been completed at the north eastern edge of the Welcome Jack Trend to test beneath old workings (Figure 8). The drill hole entered a void that is likely to be the old workings and accordingly no significant results were returned. A 15 metre thick zone of weak gold anomalism associated with pyrite and lesser arsenopyrite occurs at about 140 metres depth and is coincident with the edges of an IP anomaly centred about 250 metres to the west (Figure 9). This anomaly will be tested by drill hole CMIPT029 for which the RC pre-collar has been completed. A further drill hole below CMIPT028 will also be required to test beneath the mined extent of the vein system. figure 9: Geology of the Welcome Jack Trend with soil geochemistry, IP anomolies and drill hole locations. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 15 REviEw Of OPERATiONs 1.4 about the Commonwealth mineral resource estimate and statement of resources The Inferred Resource at Commonwealth was prepared in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code by independent resource consultants Optiro. At a 0.5 g/t gold cut off the Inferred Resource is: Category inferred tonnes 720,000 au ppm ag ppm Cu% pb% 2.8 48 0.1 0.6 Zn% 1.5 The resource, which is open along trend and at depth, contains both massive sulphide mineralisation at the Main Shaft prospect and disseminated, vein and lesser massive sulphide mineralization at the Commonwealth South prospect. It extends from surface to an average depth of 90 m, has a strike length of 400 m and is up to 25 m thick. A separate Inferred Mineral Resource (included within the overall resource) has also been calculated for the massive sulphide lens at Main Shaft alone to demonstrate the high grade nature of such deposits that are the principal target for Impact’s exploration programme. The Main Shaft Inferred Resource is: Category inferred tonnes 145,000 au ppm ag ppm Cu% pb% 4.3 142 0.2 1.7 Zn% 4.8 The Commonwealth deposit comprises two areas, Main Shaft and Commonwealth South. The mineralisation at Main Shaft comprises massive sulphide with high grade gold, silver, zinc, lead and copper mineralisation at the upper contact between a rhyolite unit and overlying volcanic sedimentary rocks. Mineralisation at Commonwealth South occurs at both the upper and lower contacts of the rhyolite and is dominated by thick stringers and disseminations of sulphide, often associated with intense brecciation and faulting of the rhyolite. The Commonwealth Resource strike length is 400 m and it is open along trend in particular to the south. The mineralisation has been defined to a maximum depth of 150 m and is still open. Twenty one new holes were drilled by Impact in 2014. The total number of holes into the Commonwealth project is 108, comprising 49 reverse circulation (RC) holes, 45 diamond holes, 10 underground channel samples and four underground drill holes. Of these holes, 52 intersected the mineralisation wireframe and were used in the estimation. Although some of the holes are from previous explorers, Impact has twinned some of the higher grade intersections and these have largely confirmed the grades and widths. Page 16 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) Quality control measures employed during Impact’s drill programme included the use of certified standards (1% of total sample population), field duplicates (2% of total sample population) and blanks (2% of total sample population). No previous quality assurance/quality control (QAQC) has been carried out at the Commonwealth Project. Analysis of the standards and blanks showed acceptable to good levels of accuracy in the assaying and little contamination. The duplicate samples matched the originals with a high degree of precision. The drill hole database was reviewed and validated by Optiro. Three-dimensional solid wireframes were constructed from sectional interpretations of the mineralisation using a nominal 0.5 g/t gold cutoff grade. Drill hole intercepts were composited down-hole to 1 m lengths and gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead and arsenic grade estimation was carried out using ordinary kriging with hard boundaries. Three search passes, with increasing search distances and decreasing minimum sample numbers, were employed to fully inform the model. Less than 1% of blocks were not filled in the first three passes. Further estimation passes were run to assign mean grades to un-estimated blocks. The Commonwealth Mineral Resource estimate has been classified as an Inferred Mineral Resource in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code, 2012). Mineral Resources have been classified on the basis of confidence in geological and grade continuity, geological modelling confidence, grade continuity and limited QAQC. No Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources have been defined. The Mineral Resource estimate for the Commonwealth Project has been reported above a 0.5 ppm gold cut-off grade. The estimate has been depleted for previous historic mining. Grades have been reported as individual elements (gold, silver, zinc, lead and copper) and, in addition, a gold-equivalent grade has been defined. This has used the following US dollar commodity prices: Gold $1343/oz; silver $19.72/oz; Copper $2.10/lb; Lead $0.85/lb; Zinc $1.06/lb. There has been no metallurgical testing of the Commonwealth mineralisation to date and so no metallurgical recoveries have been incorporated into the gold equivalent calculation. This is commensurate with the classification of the Commonwealth deposit as an Inferred Mineral Resource. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 17 REviEw Of OPERATiONs 2. BroKen hiLL proJeCt The Broken Hill Project comprises two granted exploration licences (EL7390 and EL8234) and two exploration licence applications (ELA5793 and ELA5265) that cover 517 square kilometres of rocks prospective for two distinct styles of mineralisation (Figure 10): 1. Nickel-copper-PGE associated with ultramafic rocks; and 2. Zinc-lead-silver in “Broken Hill-style” deposits hosted mostly by metasedimentary rocks and amphibolites. The 2016 year was a very successful one for exploration at Broken Hill with significant high grade results from three prospects. At the Red Hill Prospect some of the highest reported drill assays in Australia for platinum group metals were returned with a standout intercept in RHD012 of: 1.2 metres (true width) at: 10.4 g/t platinum, 10.9 g/t gold, 294 g/t (9.5 ounces) palladium, 4.6 g/t rhodium, 7.2 g/t iridium, 5.6 g/t osmium and 3.1 g/t ruthenium, 7.4% nickel, 1.8% copper and 19 g/t silver. At the Dora East Prospect high grade zinc-lead-silver mineralization was discovered, and at Platinum Springs high grade massive nickel-copper-PGE sulphides were confirmed. In addition Impact increased its land holding in the region by a substantial amount to 517 square kilometres. figure 10. Impact’s licences in the Broken Hill Project covering 517 square kilometres Page 18 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) 2.1 red hill nickel-copper-pGe prospect During the year a major diamond drill programme was completed at the Red Hill Prospect on E7390. Good to extremely high grades of nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation, including the rare PGE’s rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium, were found within 50 m of surface over robust widths in 10 out of the 11 drill holes completed by Impact. The mineralisation occurs within and adjacent to the host ultramafic intrusion and also within metasedimentary and pegmatite rocks several metres thick within the ultramafic. Mineralisation is open along trend and at depth and further drilling is warranted. The width of the mineralised zones has yet to be established. However it has been determined that the strike of the main ultramafic units is north east. Thus the true widths of many of the mineralised intercepts are likely to be thinner than quoted. The standout intercept at Red Hill was returned from Hole RHD012: 1.2 metres (true width) at: 10.4 g/t platinum, 10.9 g/t gold, 294 g/t (9.5 ounces) palladium, 4.6 g/t rhodium, 7.2 g/t iridium, 5.6 g/t osmium and 3.1 g/t ruthenium, 7.4% nickel, 1.8% copper and 19 g/t silver. Within a broader intercept of: 3.5 metres at 159 g/t (5.3 ounces) 6PGE+gold 2.9% nickel, 2.3% copper and 14.5 g/t silver from 67.3m down hole (50 m below surface) where the 6PGE+gold equals 1.7 g/t rhodium, 2.6 g/t iridium, 2.0 g/t osmium, 1.1 g/t ruthenium, 5 g/t platinum, 6 g/t gold and 144 g/t (4.6 ounces) palladium. To Impact’s knowledge this is the highest drill intercept for PGE’s ever reported in Australia and is extremely encouraging for the discovery of a high grade deposit. The mineralisation is related to dykes of ultramafic rock that have intruded along structures and veins that cross-cut metasedimentary rocks and pegmatites (coarse quartz-feldspar rocks). The fractures and veins that control the higher grade mineralisation are commonly better developed in the more competent pegmatites and detailed logging and mapping of these units is in progress. Other important intercepts include: Drill hole rhD014 (Figure 11) which tested the western part of the ultramafic unit and underlying metasedimentary rocks and returned: 25.4 metres at 0.6 g/t platinum, 1.3 g/t palladium and 0.1 g/t gold (2.0 g/t Pt+Pd+Au), 0.3% copper and 0.3% nickel from 11 metres down hole; including 3.3 metres at 2.1 g/t platinum, 4.9 g/t palladium and 0.4 g/t gold (7.4 g/t Pt+Pd+Au), 0.7% copper and 0.6% nickel from 32.4 metres down hole.

Drill hole RHD015 which tested the eastern part of the ultramafic unit at Red Hill and underlying metasedimentary rocks (Figure 11) and returned: 3.9 metres at 4.2 g/t platinum, 3.8 g/t palladium and 0.3 g/t gold (8.3 g/t Pt+Pd+Au), 1.4% copper and 0.3% nickel from 58.1 metres down hole; including 0.5 metres at 14.2 g/t platinum, 6.2 g/t palladium and 0.2 g/t gold (20.6 g/t Pt+Pd+Au), 5.2% copper and 0.7% nickel and 50 g/t (1.6 ounces) silver from 60.1 metres down hole. Drill hole RHD017 which returned: 16 metres at 1.4 g/t platinum, 1.4 g/t palladium, 0.1 g/t gold (2.9 Pt+Pd+Au) 0.3% copper, 0.3% nickel and 8.7 g/t silver from 39 metres down hole; including 1.7 metres at 3.6 g/t platinum, 3.9 g/t palladium, 0.2 g/t gold (7.7 g/t Pt+Pd+Au) 0.6% copper, 0.4% nickel and 20 g/t silver from 41.9 metres down hole; and also including 0.6 metres at 3.2 g/t platinum, 3.9 g/t palladium, 0.1 g/t gold (7.3 g/t Pt+Pd+Au) 1.7% copper, 0.8% nickel and 80 g/t (2.6 ounces) silver from 43.6 metres down hole. A follow up drill programme at Red Hill has been designed and will be completed in 2017. Page 20 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) 2.2 platinum springs nickel-copper-pGe prospect Very high grade platinum, palladium, nickel and copper assays were also returned from a 0.6 metre thick unit of massive sulphide intersected in Hole PSD02 at the Platinum Springs Prospect located about 20 km north east of Broken Hill (Figures 10 and 12). The hole returned: 0.6 metres at 11.5 g/t platinum, 25.6 g/t palladium, 1.4 g/t gold, 1.3 g/t rhodium, 1.7 g/t iridium, 2.0 g/t osmium and 0.8 g.t ruthenium 7.6% copper, 7.4% nickel and 44.3 g/t silver from 57.1 metres down hole within a broader intercept of 2.75 metres at 3.5 g/t platinum, 7 g/t palladium, 0.4 g/t gold, 2% copper, 1.9% nickel and 11.6 g/t silver from 55 metres down hole. PSD02 was drilled to test a narrow and strongly conductive (>5,000 siemens) electromagnetic (EM) conductor identified by Impact in a down hole survey of a previous drill hole. A down hole survey of PSD02 confirmed that the massive sulphide is the source of the conductor. figure 12. Massive sulphide unit from Platinum Springs The massive sulphide unit is close to previous high grade PGM-nickel-copper intersected in massive sulphide in two drill holes completed by previous explorers (Figure 13). These drill holes, which were not surveyed and whose precise location is unknown, returned: 2 metres at 10.9 g/t platinum, 23.6 g/t palladium, 0.9 g/t gold, 6.1% copper, 4.5% nickel and 35 g/t silver from 45 metres in Hole DD4; and 2.3 metres 8.4 g/t platinum, 3.6% copper and 3% nickel from 47.7 metres; including 0.9 metres at 18.8 g/t platinum, 8.1% copper and 7.5% nickel from 48.2 metres in Hole GMS-06 (palladium and gold not assayed). The massive sulphide unit occurs at the base of an ultramafic unit at the contact with underlying metasedimentary rocks and is interpreted as being magmatic in origin. That is, the sulphides have crystallised from the ultramafic magma. This is a key component of models for the formation of large Nickel-copper-PGM sulphide deposits and is very encouraging for the possible future discovery of a major orebody in the region. The EM conductor was also in part identified by a ground EM survey completed by Impact late last year. Initial interpretation of this data suggests further EM conductors may be present to the east and possibly to the north west of PSD02. These are targets for follow up work. Detailed field mapping and a soil geochemistry survey covering an area of 800 metres by 700 metres centred on PSD02 were also completed and are being interpreted. Very high grade PGM-copper-nickel drill assays have now been returned from two prospects at Impact’s Broken Hill Project, Platinum Springs and Red Hill. These are the only two prospects to have been explored in detail and this is encouraging for further exploration throughout the entire project area. For example, high grade rock chip samples have been returned from numerous prospects between the Platinum Springs and Moorkai Prospects, a distance of about 9 km along the Moorkai Intrusive Complex (Figures 10 and 14). Apart from a few drill holes, none of these areas have been followed up in detail and a follow up work programme is being designed for the entire Moorkai Intrusive Complex.

IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 23 REviEw Of OPERATiONs 2.3 Dora east silver-lead-zinc prospect Three drill holes at Red Hill also returned, for the first time, significant intercepts of zinc-lead-silver in so called “Broken Hill-style mineralisation” hosted by “Lode Rocks” similar to those that surround, and are integral to, the world class 300 Mt Broken Hill silver-lead-zinc deposit located 15 km north west of Red Hill. The Dora East area was previously part of the Red Hill Prospect but has now been separately defined as a key prospect in its own right. It is so named because of several small dormant workings within lode rocks located a few hundred metres to the west on an adjacent tenement that are called Dora. In Hole RHD018, the Broken Hill-style Lode Rocks comprise variably disseminated, vein and massive iron, zinc, copper and lead sulphides hosted in garnet-bearing metasedimentary rocks and two amphibolite units (Figure 15). figure 15. Geology of the Red Hill and Dora East Prospects with significant results The lower amphibolite unit contains a five metre thick zone of massive and disseminated zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation including two separate one metre intervals of high grade zinc sulphides that returned (Figure 16): 5.1 metres at 10% zinc, 0.8% lead, 40.4 g/t silver from 148.4 metres including 1 metre at 26.8% zinc, 2.8% lead, 133 g/t silver (4 ounces) from 148.9 metres; and 1 metre at 21.4% zinc, 0.8% lead and 31.5 g/t silver (1 ounce) from 152.5 metres Page 24 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) figure 16 High grade zinc sulphide (sphalerite – bronze metallic coloured mineral) This high grade mineralisation lies within a thicker zone of lower grade mineralisation that returned: 22.7 metres at 2.4% zinc, 0.2% lead and 9.5 g/t silver from 138.9 metres down hole. The upper amphibolite and surrounding metasedimentary rocks contain a 30 metre thick zone of patchy iron, copper, zinc and lead sulphides from about 100 metres down hole (Figure 17). One zone of selectively sampled copper sulphide mineralisation within this thicker zone returned: 0.15 metres at 1.5% copper, 1.3% zinc and 22 g.t silver from 113.6 metres down hole. A follow up drill hole, RHD020 successfully tested the up-dip extension of the mineralisation and returned an intercept of: 7 metres at 7% zinc, 1.1% lead and 20.7 g/t silver from 131 metres including 1.6 metres at 22.0% zinc, 3.6% lead and 66.7 g/t silver from 132.4 metres (Figures 15 and 17). In addition, a zone of good copper and silver grades has been identified that returned: 0.7 metres at 2.4% copper and 22.5 g/t silver from 109.5 metres (Figure 17). The zinc-silver-lead grades are interpreted to be increasing at depth whereas the copper grades are interpreted to be increasing towards the surface. The area up dip of Hole RHD020 has also been identified as an off hole EM conductor and is an immediate drill target (Figure 17). Hole RHD09 lies 200 metres along trend to the east and returned a thick intercept of lower grade mineralisation (Figure 15). 82 m at 0.3% zinc, 0.15% lead and 1.5 g/t silver including 0.8 m at 4.2% zinc, 4.5% lead and 18.6 g/t silver. The mineralisation is open along strike and up and down dip and there are many hundreds of metres of trend that remain to be drill tested (Figure 15). IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 25 REviEw Of OPERATiONs Priority Base Metal Target Identified In Major Fold Hinge Recent detailed mapping and interpretation of geophysical data by Impact indicates that the Lode Rocks at Dora East are possibly part of a large fold structure. Fold hinges of this scale are common hosts to thick ore positions at the Broken Hill mine. For comparison Figure 18 shows a cross section from the Broken Hill mine that demonstrates how laterally continuous narrow units of sulphide become thicker in the hinge zones of folds. The fold hinge identified by Impact is a priority target for follow up work including drilling. In addition, an Induced Polarisation anomaly was identified in this area by Impact in a survey completed several years ago (Figure 15). The significance of the anomaly was not clear at the time. However in light of Impact’s recent work this is now a compelling target for disseminated Broken Hill style mineralisation. These results are all extremely encouraging for the discovery of a significant zinc-lead-silver deposit at Dora East. In particular, the mineralisation discovered may represent a halo to a larger massive zinc sulphide body along trend or at depth. Further drilling is warranted and a follow up work programme to include ground geophysical surveys is being designed. This work will be carried out as part of the follow up work around the Red Hill Prospect for high grade PGM-nickel-copper mineralisation. figure 17. North-South Cross Section for Holes RHD020 and RHD018 looking west. Page 26 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) figure 18. Cross-section through the Broken Hill Mine showing the relationship between fold hinges and thick ore positions (black areas). The fold hinges are commonly several hundred metres below surface. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 27 REviEw Of OPERATiONs Impact has now shown that the adjacent Red Hill and Dora East Prospects contain robust widths and grades of 12 different metals: platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium, iridium, osmium, ruthenium, nickel, copper, zinc, silver and lead. This is unprecedented in the Broken Hill region and indicates the highly unusual and very prospective nature of this part of Impact’s project area. 2.4 new exploration Licence applications Impact lodged, in March this year, two new exploration licence applications that have significantly expanded the Company’s exploration footprint at Broken Hill sevenfold to 517 square kilometres (Figure 10). Recent technical work on the nature of the high grade platinum group metal (PGM)-copper-nickel mineralisation and high grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation discovered by Impact at its various prospects within the project, including Red Hill, Dora East and Platinum Springs, has identified the new licence areas as highly prospective for similar styles of mineralisation. 2.5 about the ownership of the Broken hill project Impact owns 100% of three of the four exploration licences at Broken Hill (EL8234 and ELA5793 and ELA5265). The mineral rights for the fourth licence, EL7390, were split in the early 2000’s into the two different styles of mineralisation and Impact inherited this untidy structure when it purchased Ni-Cu-PGE joint venture rights in 2013 from Endeavour Minerals Pty Ltd. During the year Impact acquired EL7390 from Golden Cross Resources Limited and re-negotiated an associated JV between GCR and Silver City Minerals for Broken Hill-style mineralisation. This now entitles Impact to: • 100% of the PGE-copper-nickel mineralisation; and • 80% of the zinc-lead-silver Broken Hill-style mineralisation in EL7390 in joint venture with Silver City Minerals Limited (ASX: SCI). Impact purchased E7390 from Golden Cross Resources Limited for $60,000 cash and a 1% gross production royalty on all metals to which Impact has rights for. At its election, Impact has the right to buy back the royalty for $1.5 million cash at anytime up to a Decision to Mine, or, leave the royalty uncapped during production. In addition Impact assumed Golden Cross’s joint venture rights for lead-zinc-silver-other metals with Silver City and, in a related transaction Impact moved to an 80-20 joint venture with Silver City on those rights for a payment of $50,000 cash and for Silver City’s 20% interest to be free-carried to a Decision to Mine. The Broken Hill Project is also part of the investment agreement between Impact Minerals and Squadron Resources Pty Ltd (see Section 5). Squadron at its sole discretion, now has the right to invest A$1 million into the Broken Hill project to earn a 19.9% interest in the nickel-copper-PGE rights on EL7390 and a 19.9% interest in EL8234. Squadron is not liable for any payment of the royalty to Golden Cross. Squadron Resources Pty Limited does not have the right to earn into the Broken Hill style mineralisation on EL7390 and Impact’s exploration licence applications ELA5793 and ELA5265 are excluded from the Squadron transaction.

IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 29 REviEw Of OPERATiONs 3. muLGa tanK ni-au proJeCt Impact owns 100% of 13 exploration licences that cover 425 sq km of the highly prospective Minigwal greenstone belt, 200 km east of Kalgoorlie in the emerging mineral province of the south east Yilgarn Block, Western Australia (Figure 19). In 2014 Impact discovered three styles of nickel sulphide mineralisation within the Mulga Tank Dunite and surrounding rocks: 1. High tenor veins at the base of the Mulga Tank Dunite with drill results of: 0.25 m at 3.8% nickel, 0.7% copper and 0.7 g/t PGE and 0.3 m at 0.7% nickel. 2. High tenor nickel sulphide in multiple komatiites in a flow channel with drill results of: 0.75 m at 0.85% nickel, 0.35% copper and 0.28 g/t PGE (Pt+Pd+Au); and 6.7 m at 0.5% nickel. 3. Extensive disseminated nickel in the Mulga Tank Dunite with drill results of: 2 m at 1.3% nickel including 1 m at 2% nickel and multiple zones of 0.5 m at 0.5% to 1.2% nickel within an intercept of 115 m at 0.3% nickel; other thick intercepts of 21 m at 0.4% nickel and 59 m at 0.3% nickel. The style of mineralisation and the nature of the ultramafic rocks are similar to those that host the significant nickel deposits found at the Perseverance (45 Mt at 2% nickel), Rocky’s Reward (9.6 Mt at 2.4% Ni) and Mt Keith (>2 Mt of contained nickel) mines near Leinster in Western Australia (Figure 19). In addition the project area occurs in the same geological terrain as the recently discovered Gruyere deposit that hosts more than 5 million ounces of gold (Figure 19). The Mulga Tank project has been poorly explored for gold and this will also be a focus of the forward programme. Exploration for nickel and gold was re-invigorated on the project in mid 2015 with the completion of three major surveys: 1. a 10,000 line kilometre airborne magnetic and radiometric survey covering most of the 425 sq km project area at a line spacing of 50 metres (Figure 20); 2. an innovative combined ground and airborne electrical survey comprising a Helicopter-borne Sub Audio Magnetics (HeliSam) Survey over the Panhandle and Mulga Tank Dunite prospects; and 3. the collection of 2,500 soil geochemistry samples that are now being analysed. This new data has greatly improved the geological understanding of the entire project area and in particular over the Mulga Tank Dunite where individual geological layers can now for the first time be mapped out (Figure 20). This is important because the entire project lies under deep sand cover at least 50 metres thick in most places. Page 30 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) figure 20. Comparison of previous magnetic data (left) and new magnetic data (right) over the Mulga Tank Dunite showing the increased resolution of units within it. Final data from these surveys are being interpreted to generate new targets for follow up work in 2017. In the June Quarter 2016 Impact was awarded a grant of $150,000 as part of the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme for drilling at the Mulga Tank Project. The EIS, a co- funding initiative for exploration in under explored areas and awarded on a dollar-for-dollar basis for direct drilling costs, has been designed to encourage innovative exploration and prioritised high quality, technically sound proposals that demonstrate new exploration concepts. 4. other proJeCts Impact still has one Exploration Licence for gold in Queensland, the Clermont Project, and one Prospecting Licence in Botswana. These projects have been dormant for the past few years but have considerable exploration merit. Impact is aiming to restart exploration on them in the coming year. 5. CapitaL raisinGs In August 2015 Impact secured a potential funding package of up to $7.3 million from Squadron Resources Pty Ltd, the private mining investment vehicle of the Minderoo Group which itself represents selected philanthropic and commercial interests of Andrew and Nicola Forrest. Securing Squadron was a milestone development for Impact and its shareholders and it allowed Impact to forge ahead with is exploration programmes over the year and raise further funds with the substantial participation of its existing shareholders. During the year Impact issued 222,432,015 shares and raised and received a total of $8.1 million in funding which comprised: 1. a initial $3,000,000 investment by Squadron Resources Pty Ltd; 2. a 1 for 6 renounceable rights issue and placement at 2.1 cents per share that raised $1.983 million; 3. a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) and placement that raised $1.922 million at 2.4 cents per share; and 4. a Research and Development Rebate of $1,205,222. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 31 REviEw Of OPERATiONs Given the difficult time for the resource sector in the 2016 financial year this was an excellent outcome for the company. The key financial terms of the investment by Squadron are: 1. An initial $2 million investment in return for interest-free 3 year secured convertible notes, convertible only into ordinary shares at the lower of 2.1 cents per share or 80% of the 30 day VWAP and 45 million attaching unlisted call options to acquire ordinary shares at 3.25 cents per share (a further possible investment of up to about $1.46 million. 2. A $1 million placement of ordinary shares at 2.1 cents per share with 26,428,572 attaching 3 year unlisted call options at 3.25 cents per share (a further potential investment of about $0.86 million). 3. The option for Squadron at is sole discretion to invest a further $1 million into either or both of the Commonwealth and Broken Hill projects for an initial 19.9% interest after Impact has spent a combined total of $2.5 million on the two projects. Impact recently notified Squadron that it had reached the $2.5 million expenditure threshold and as this report goes to press, Squadron is considering its investment decision. 6.

The report contains the following sections: (a) Key management personnel (KMP) covered in this report (b) Remuneration governance and the use of remuneration consultants (c) Executive remuneration policy and framework (d) Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance (e) Non-executive Director remuneration policy (f) Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting (g) Details of remuneration (h) Service agreements (i) Details of share-based compensation and bonuses (j) Equity instruments held by key management personnel (k) Loans to key management personnel (l) Other transactions with key management personnel (a) Key management personnel covered in this report Non-Executive and Executive Directors (see pages 36 to 38 for details about each Director) Peter Unsworth Michael Jones Paul Ingram Markus Elsasser Felicity Gooding (appointed 18 February 2016) Non-Executive Chairman Managing Director Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Aaron Hood (appointed 5 August 2015, resigned 18 February 2016) Non-Executive Director Other key management personnel name position Bernard Crawford (appointed 4 April 2016) Company Secretary James Cooper Jones (resigned 3 March 2016) Company Secretary (b) remuneration governance and the use of remuneration consultants The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee. Remuneration matters are handled by the full Board of the Company. In this respect the Board is responsible for: • • operation of the incentive plans which apply to Executive Directors and senior executives (the the over-arching executive remuneration framework; executive team), including key performance indicators and performance hurdles; • remuneration levels of executives; and • Non-Executive Director fees. The objective of the Board is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. In addition, all matters of remuneration are handled in accordance with the Corporations Act requirements, especially with regard to related party transactions. That is, none of the Directors participate in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues. Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice has been sought during the period ended 30 June 2016. Page 40 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 (continued) remuneration report (auDiteD) (ContinueD) (c) executive remuneration policy and framework In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are: • competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent; • aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value; • • acceptable to shareholders. transparent and easily understood; and All executives receive consulting fees or a salary, part of which may be taken as superannuation, and from time to time, options. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the executive’s performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. All remuneration paid to specified executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. (d) relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance Emoluments of Directors are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of Directors. Fees paid to Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Group is generating revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Group’s performance including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (e.g. changes in share price). The Board has not set short term performance indicators, such as movements in the Company’s share price, for the determination of Director emoluments as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is not in the long term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way it believes is in the best interests of building shareholder wealth in the longer term. The Board believes participation in the Company’s Incentive Option Scheme motivates key management and executives with the long term interests of shareholders. (e) non-executive director remuneration policy The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at commercial market rates for comparable companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities. Non-executive Directors receive a Board fee but do not receive fees for chairing or participating on Board committees. Board members are allocated superannuation guarantee contributions as required by law, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. From time to time, some individuals may choose to sacrifice their salary or consulting fees to increase payments towards superannuation. The maximum annual aggregate Non-executive Directors’ fee pool limit is $150,000 as disclosed in the Company’s Prospectus dated 16 October 2006. Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. Non-executive Directors’ remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of options, subject to approval by shareholders. (f) voting and comments made at the Company’s 2015 annual General meeting Impact Minerals Limited received more than 99% of “yes” votes on its Remuneration Report for the 2015 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year on its remuneration practices.

(a) Basis of measurement Historical Cost Convention These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except where stated. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed where appropriate. (b) Going Concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Page 58 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JuNE 2016 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) (c) principles of consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. The Company and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its investment with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated statement of changes in equity respectively. Joint arrangements Under AASB 11: Joint Arrangements investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are called joint operators. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Those parties are called joint venturers. (d) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 59 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward The recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation costs carried forward has been reviewed by the Directors. In conducting the review, after impairment indicators are identified, the recoverable amount has been assessed by reference to the higher of “fair value less costs to sell” and, if applicable, “value in use”. In determining value in use, future cash flows are based on estimates of ore reserves and mineral resources for which there is a high degree of confidence of economic extraction, production and sales levels, future commodity prices, future capital and production costs and future exchange rates. Variations to any of these estimates, and timing thereof, could result in significant changes to the expected future cash flows which in turn could result in significant changes to the impairment test results, which in turn could impact future financial results. (e) segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Impact Minerals Limited. (f) functional and presentation of currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentational currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a net basis within other income or other expenses. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. (g) revenue recognition Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Interest income is recognised as it accrues. (h) income tax The income tax expense or benefit 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. Page 60 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JuNE 2016 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Impact Minerals Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. (i) Leases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 61 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) (j) impairment of assets Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. (k) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (l) trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in the profit or loss. (m) exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure, including the costs of acquiring licences and permits, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either: (i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation or from sale of the area of interest; or (ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Page 62 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JuNE 2016 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of minerals in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mineral property and development assets within property, plant and equipment. When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. (n) property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, or in the case of certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows: • Motor vehicles • Office and computer equipment • Furniture, fittings and equipment 5 – 7 years 3 – 5 years 3 – 5 years The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When re-valued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings. (o) trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 63 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) (p) employee benefits Short–term Obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave and accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. Other Long-term Obligations The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Share-Based Payments The Group provides benefits to employees of the Company in the form of share options. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight line basis over the vesting period. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number that vest. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share. Termination Benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value. No termination benefits, other than accrued benefits and entitlements, were paid during the period. Page 64 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JuNE 2016 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) (q) equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (r) earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: • the profit attributable to owners of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: • the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. • (s) Goods and services tax (Gst) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. (t) financial instruments Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial instruments, including financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the Consolidated Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 65 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) Classification and Subsequent Measurement Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. The Consolidated Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables are included in current assets except those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (iii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Consolidated Group‘s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Held to maturity investments are included in non-current assets where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets.

They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (i.e. gains or losses) recognised in other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses). When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss. Available for sale financial assets are included in non-current assets except those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as current assets. (v) Financial Liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in Fair Value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point. Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. Financial Guarantees Where material, financial guarantees issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. Where the entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118. IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | Page 67 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on: the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period; • the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed • party defaulting; and the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default. • (u) fair value of assets and Liabilities The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share- based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. Valuation techniques In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches: Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value. Page 68 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JuNE 2016 2. statement of CompLianCe (ContinueD) Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity. Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable. Fair value hierarchy AASB 13 – Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows: Level 1 Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances: (i) if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or (ii) if significant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa. When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.

The Consolidated Group is managed primarily on the basis of exploration opportunities within Australia and Africa. Operating segments are therefore determined on this basis. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar geographic characteristics.

Commitments In order to maintain an interest in the exploration tenements in which the Group is involved, the Group is committed to meet the conditions under which the tenements were granted. The timing and amount of exploration expenditure commitments and obligations of the Group are subject to the minimum expenditure commitments required as per the Mining Act 1978 (Western Australia), the Mining Act 1992 (New South Wales) and the Mineral Resources Act 199 (Queensland) and may vary significantly from the forecast based upon the results of the work performed which will determine the prospectivity of the relevant area of interest. As at balance date, total exploration expenditure commitments on granted tenements held by the Consolidated Group that have not been provided for in the financial statements and which cover the following twelve month period amount to $682,594 (2015: $842,519). For the period greater than twelve months to five years commitments amount to $621,397 (2015: $2,115,153). There are no commitments greater than five years. These obligations are also subject to variations by farm-out arrangements, or sale of the relevant tenements Commitments in relation to the lease of office premises are payable as follows: Within 1 year Later than one year but not later than five years Later than five years Page 80 | IMPACT MINERALS LTD ANNUAL REPORT 2016 43,200 39,600 – 39,600 – – 82,800 39,600 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JuNE 2016 23. finanCiaL risK manaGement oBJeCtives anD poLiCies financial risk management Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: • • Credit risk • Liquidity risk • Commodity risk Interest rate risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash, short-term deposits, receivables and payables. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing financial assets and liabilities that the Group uses. Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash equivalents which are considered to be short-term liquid assets. It is the Group’s policy to settle trade payables within the credit terms allowed and therefore not incur interest on overdue balances.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below: Carrying value at period end $ profit or loss equity 100 bp increase $ 100 bp decrease $ 100 bp increase $ 100 bp decrease $ 3,929,972 25,533 (25,533) 25,533 (25,533) Consolidated – 2016 financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Cash flow sensitivity (net) 25,533 (25,533) 25,533 (25,533) Consolidated – 2015 financial assets Cash and cash equivalents 571,981 5,724 (5,724) 5,724 (5,724) Cash flow sensitivity (net) 5,724 (5,724) 5,724 (5,724) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of the receivable, net of any provision for doubtful debts. With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. This risk is minimised by reviewing term deposit accounts from time to time with approved banks of a sufficient credit rating which is AA and above.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Cash and cash equivalents Trade & other receivables Consolidated 2016 $ 3,929,972 70,279 2015 $ 571,981 84,016 4,000,251 655,997 Foreign currency risk Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Consolidated Group. The Consolidated Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the company’s measurement currency (namely $USD and Botswana Pula). The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is minimal at this stage of its operations. Commodity price risk The Group’s exposure to commodity price risk is minimal at this stage of its operations. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility.

Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The management of the Group’s capital is performed by the Board. The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (trade payables, provisions and financial liabilities detailed in notes 12, 13, & 14 offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the Group (comprising issued capital, reserves, offset by accumulated losses detailed in notes 15, 16 & 17). The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. None of the Group’s entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standards AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. In our opinion: a. The financial report of the Consolidated Entity is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i. giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; b.
