Directors’ Review
The Company commenced the year excited with its
achievements in the previous financial year and mindful
that many of its junior-explorer peers were contracting
their exploration activities while facing considerable
challenges in the capital raising market.
Determined to differentiate itself, and rather than
follow a similar path, the Company focussed on
its efforts with careful exploration at
increasing
Chanape, and effective communication with important
stakeholders namely shareholders, brokers,
the
Peruvian government and those Peruvian communities
involved in the Company’s Chanape project and critical
to Inca’s success.
Early in the financial year Inca established a small but
important operations office in Lima. The objective in
doing so was to better coordinate Inca’s exploration,
communication and promotional activities in Peru. This
new operational capacity proved effective, allowing
the Company to conduct three drilling campaigns,
complete significant mapping and sampling programs
and build on its relationship with Peruvian stakeholders.
In turn, this delivered some outstanding exploration
results including one of the strongest reported copper,
gold and silver intersections by any junior throughout
the year, active and substantive communication with
shareholders and brokers, liquidity in the Company’s
securities and valued support from shareholders
and the broking community in the capital raisings
conducted during 2014.
Importantly the Company had built on its exploration
reputation and the unsolicited approaches from
international mining companies during the year
confirmed Inca possesses what appears to be a project
of significant scale and potential. These approaches
have been welcomed by the Board. As the Company
awaits granting of a drilling permit which encompasses
the entire Chanape project area, the Board is carefully
working with these potential strategic partners to
deliver an outcome that is cognisant of the value-
potential inherent in further drilling and discovery
at Chanape yet equally mindful of commercial
opportunities a strategic partner may facilitate.
The Company’s Board and senior management has
been stable throughout the year and, as it looks
forward to the 2014/2015 financial year, will again focus
on differentiating Inca from many of its peers as a
results driven investment opportunity. While there can
be no underestimating the likelihood of future hurdles
and challenges, Inca is a strong and focussed company
intent on
further exploration success, prudent
management of shareholder funds and effective
communication with its stakeholders. In so doing the
Company believes it can best realise the potential of its
projects and reward shareholders for their continued
and valued support.

Operational Review
MANAGING DIRECTOR’S SUMMARy
It would be difficult to improve on a year that included the discovery of a mineralised porphyry system. In the
financial year of 2012-2013, in our very first hole at Chanape, we drilled through 100 metres of strong gold and silver
mineralisation before entering a copper-molybdenum quartz monzonite porphyry. Without fear of contradiction the
Company has indeed improved upon 2013 with the identification of porphyry and porphyry-related mineralisation
at Chanape over a vertical distance of 1.3kms. A nexus has now been established between the upper epithermal
mineralisation and the lower porphyry mineralisation, which importantly now includes broad zones of ore grade
material identified in drilling this financial year. This years’ results have culminated in establishing a vast new upside
for the project and have brought into sharp focus the economic potential of this porphyry system.
Drilling completed this year has identified intersections that are among the best reported by any junior globally in
the past twelve months – intersections that are indeed of economic interest. Such intersections include CH-DDH012:
55m at 2.3% copper (Cu), 0.6g/t gold (Au), 42.9g/t silver (Ag) with 0.015% molybdenum (Mo) over 10m within the
same interval; and CH-DDH011: 284m at 0.32% Cu, 83ppm Mo and 6.73g/t Ag. That such intersections have attracted
the attention of majors is testament to the significance of these intersections.
Our latest holes are our best holes. It seems that as we get to know the porphyry system at Chanape – exploration
results improve. The trend is exciting. At the time of writing ahead of the resumption of drilling, new drill targets are
being added and existing targets are being better defined.
The year also included the realisation of the nickel potential of our ancestral Dingo Range Nickel Project. Nestled
in close juxtaposition with Rox Resources’ Mount Fisher nickel project, Dingo Range hosts folded komatiites – the
same komatiites that are mineralised at Rox’s Camelwood and Musket nickel prospects.
Serendipity plays a part in exploration and, certainly, juniors rely on good fortune from time to time. It is also true
that fortune favours the brave. Defining 1.3km of vertical mineralisation at Chanape, drilling into 55m of 2.3% Cu in
our very latest hole; holding 400km2 of prospective ground within a new nickel province are well-earned outcomes,
achieved through good exploration and strategic management in difficult global markets. At Chanape, a handful of
major mining houses are delving into the data-room. At Dingo Range, targets have been generated for future drill
testing. On the back of these successes the Company successfully completed two capital raisings (one via a Share
Purpose Plan [SPP] and another via a Placement) for total of $1.77M raised. At the time of writing our treasury is
strong, there are majors visiting Chanape and we have a well advanced drill permit application that will greatly
accelerate the evaluation of Chanape.

CHANAPE
EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS
The discovery of economic grades of copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), gold (Au) and silver (Ag) close to the
surface and at depth in association with porphyry and porphyry-related breccias at Chanape solidifies Chanape as a
discovery of genuine significance. Mineralisation at Chanape is now known over a 1.3km vertical distance, from the
summit of Chanape, where epithermal gold mineralisation has been identified, to open-ended mineralisation in the
deepest hole drilled to date at Chanape. The vertical extent of mineralisation is matched by the horizontal extent of
mineralisation, thanks to newly discovered gold-bearing rocks in the southern third of the project area.

sea level, relative project heights, solid geology interpretation of drilling/surface mapping,
porphyry and porphyry-related mineralisation zones (epithermal, mesothermal, porphyry) and
exploration results (rock chip sampling and drilling). Key points to note include: the extent of
mineralisation above the height of the valley floor, the open-ended nature of mineralisation in
drill results and the tremendous vertical spread of mineralisation.
Exploration conducted at Chanape from July 2013 to June 2014 included 10 diamond core drill holes (CH-DDH003
to CH-DDH012) and a surface mapping and grid-sampling program (Phase 3) that covered the southern third of the
project area.
INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 5
Operational Review
The purpose of the drilling program was to follow-up on the porphyry discovery and to drill test epithermal gold
targets within the drill permit area. Three deep holes targeting porphyry mineralisation were completed (CH-
DDH008, CH-DDH011 and CH-DDH012) and seven shallow holes targeting rock-chip gold anomalies were completed
(CH-DDH003, CH-DDH004, CH-DDH005, CH-DDH006, CH-DDH007, CH-DDH009 and CH-DDH010) (Table 1). Phase 3
mapping and sampling included 1:5,000 to 1:1,000 scale geological mapping, an extensive grid rock chip sampling
program (over 300 samples) and multi-element analysis. This work provides the body of the highlights of this year’s
operation, described below.

The second breccia was intersected between 157.75m and 205.2m.
Ore grade mineralisation includes a down-hole interval of 55 metres
at 2.3% Cu, 0.6g/t Au, 42.9g/t Ag, and 48.1ppm Mo. This includes:
10m @ 5.35% Cu, 0.015% M0, 0.96g/t Au, 83.68g/t Ag from 186m,
including:
4m @ 8.9% Cu, 0.025% Mo, 1.14g/t Au, 130.50g/t Ag from 188m.

The upper breccia body intersected in CH-DDH012 occurs between
18.6m and 65.5m and has a down-hole width of 46.9m. Mineralisation associated with this breccia includes: 67m at
0.97g/t Au and 25.31g/t Ag from surface. This includes:
16m @ 1.86g/t Au, 58.96g/t Ag from 24m, and
8m @ 2.30g/t Au from 52m, and
13m @ 21.18g/t Ag from 52m, and
24m @ 0.52% Cu from 50m overlapping with the gold and silver mineralisation.
6 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Operational Review
It is not just the stand-out grade of the second breccia that is significant but the high levels of molybdenum. This
is indicative of “hotter” mineralisation fluids suggesting porphyry “ore-forming” processes are much closer to the
surface at Chanape than previously known.

INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 7
Operational Review
Discovery of ore-grade Cu-Mo-Ag mineralisation in porphyry: The Company’s penultimate hole drilled at Chanape
(CH-DDH011) was the first to deliver high-grade mineralisation associated with the [deeper] porphyry part of the
porphyry system. A down-hole interval of 284m at 0.32% Cu, 82.9ppm Mo, 6.73g/t Ag was identified. This includes:
97m @ 0.46% Cu, 9.48g/t Ag, 106ppm Mo from 770m including:
11m interval @ 1.39% Cu, 29.93g/t Ag, 263ppm Mo from 770m, including:
• 7m interval @ 1.17% Cu, 24.47/t Ag from 809m, and
• 8m interval @ 0.94% Cu, 0.029% Mo, 16.98g/t Ag from 837m
30m down-hole interval @ 0.93% Cu, 18.72/t Ag from 886m
24m down-hole interval @ 0.37% Cu, 6.5/t Ag from 970m
26m down-hole interval @ 0.5% Cu, 10.88/t Ag from 1,021m, including:
• 6m down-hole interval @ 1.18% Cu, 25.37g/t Ag, from 1,040m
Figure 4: Section of core from CH-DDH011 from approx. 812m
Discovery of additional porphyry targets in southern half of project area: The Company completed its phase
three mapping and sampling program covering the southern half of the project area this report period. The program
was highly successful, identifying three new highly prospective areas all occurring within the broad porphyry
target area (as defined by the 2.5km x 1.0km Spontaneous Potential [“SP”] anomaly). Highlight results include the
identification of:
Numerous tourmaline breccia pipes at the summit area of Chanape – now defining the largest breccia zone on
the property
The largest individual breccia pipe so far known at Chanape – approximately 200m x 200m
Several breccia veins recording +3g/t gold in rock chip sampling
Several intrusive rocks – same as those associated with known mineralised porphyry at Chanape
Importantly, the newly prospective areas of the southern half of Chanape coincide with strong chargeability and
SP anomalies. It is apparent that the same special circumstances that prevail in the drilled area (now known to host
porphyry and porphyry-related mineralisation), also occur in this new undrilled area of Chanape.
FuTuRE EXPLORATION
The Company has submitted an application for a new drill permit - a Semi Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment
(sdEIA), to replace its existing DIA drill permit. The sdEIA has an allowance of 22,500m drill metres and 61 platforms
and will cover 100% of the project area (the previous DIA covered less than 10% of the project area). Once granted all
existing and new drill targets will be accessible. At the time of writing existing geophysical data is being reprocessed
and reviewed to refine our understanding of the metal sulphide occurrences at Chanape. Principal among the
objectives is to model the 55m of 2.3% Cu occurrence (which occurs in +20% sulphide material) to design follow-up
drilling and to identify like-geophysical signatures.
Further mapping, rock chip and channel sampling is planned ahead of the resumption of drilling. The aim of channel-
sampling is to provide a continuum of assay data across the many exposed tourmaline breccias that have recently
been discovered in the summit and southern areas of Chanape. Among these is the largest breccia pipe so far
discovered at Chanape.

Operational Review
The principal aim of future drilling will be to obtain a maiden resource at Chanape. The sdEIA extends for two years
and allows multiple rigs.

TENuRE
The Chanape Project comprises a group of 20 mining concessions covering an area of 805 hectares (Figure 6).
These concessions are the subject of the acquisition mining assignment agreement (described below). The mining
assignment agreement is registered in the Public Registry, which is cross referenced on the INGEMMET internet
titles data base (Peru equivalent of the WA Dept. Mines & Petroleum TENGRAPH).
Inca also owns 10 mining concessions immediately SW of Chanape. They cover a large area of approximately 10,000
hectares. Although no field work has been carried out to date, their proximity to Chanape, occurrence of “remote-
sensing” anomalies and the occurrence of satellite mineralisation (about the centrally located Chanape porphyry
system), marks them as being prospective for porphyry and porphyry-related mineralisation.

LOCATION
Chanape is located approximately 90km east of Lima, in the Miocene Porphyry Belt (Figure 6). Chinalco’s Toromocho
2.15Bt Cu-Ag-Mo porphyry mine development has now commenced production and is only 30km NE of Chanape.
Nyrstar’s Coricancha Au-Ag-Zn-Pb mine is located 15km N of Chanape. There are numerous small-scale mines within
the vicinity of Chanape. The Siberia, Germania, Millotingo and Pacococha mines are all located within 10km of
Chanape. A small-scale mine was operated at Chanape in the 1930’s and 1980’s by Pacococha and Milpo.

Operational Review
FuTuRE EXPLORATION
Inca plans to commence exploration at Moquegua this year. The prospects are considered early stage exploration,
but with known copper mineralisation and porphyry-style alteration, walk-up targets already exist. The Company
intends exploring the known occurrences of mineralisation and to undertake a broad-based geophysics and
geochemical sampling program over the priority areas.
PORPHyRy DEPOSITS
The term “porphyry deposit”, describes large, disseminated, low-grade mineral occurrences typically hosted in
rocks of intermediate to acid mineral composition with porphyritic texture.
A porphyritic rock, or “porphyry”, describes igneous rocks with conspicuous phenocrysts (crystals) in a fine-
grained groundmass.
Porphyry deposits may contain elevated levels of copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, tin and rare earth elements.
Important by-product elements include rhenium, tungsten, indium, platinum, palladium and selenium.
Porphyry deposits are the world’s most important source of copper, molybdenum and rare earth elements,
accounting for 50% to 60% of the world’s supply of copper.
Porphyry deposits are broadly recognised on the basis of the relative abundances of economically important
metals. Principal among the types of porphyries are:
Porphyry Cu, Cu-Mo and Cu-Mo-Au deposits;
Porphyry Cu-Au deposits; and
Porphyry Au deposits.
Except for the differences in the relative concentrations of Cu, Au and Mo (among other metal concentrations),
porphyry deposits share similar geological, geochemical and geophysical characteristics. Most occur in Mesozoic and
Tertiary orogenic belts and most frequently on the Pacific plate margin. They show concentric or quasi-concentric
zones of mineralisation and rock alteration; and they tend to be of a certain size and depth (between three and
eight kilometres horizontal and vertical extent).
Porphyry deposits typically consist of disseminated (evenly spread and low grade) ore types and are most commonly
mined as large scale, open cut operations. The ore typically contains grades of less than 1% copper and less than 1g/t
gold.
Some of the largest mines in the world are porphyry deposits, including:
The Escondida Cu porphyry mine in Chile, which is currently the largest copper mine in the world in terms of
annual copper production;
The Grasberg Au porphyry mine in Indonesia, which is currently the largest gold mine in the world in terms of
annual gold production; and
The Oyu Tolgoi Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Mongolia, which commenced production in 2013 and contains
approximately 81 billion pounds of copper and 46 million ounces of gold in measured, indicated and inferred
resources.
Porphyry deposits tend to have a characteristic exploration signature, comprising broadly recognizable geological,
geochemical and geophysical expressions.
12 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Operational Review
Porphyry deposits occurring in the Andes Mountains (Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador) often have a distinctive surface
expression, making their recognition less difficult than if they were occurring in an ancient or highly vegetated
terrain. This is a consequence of the high erosion rates normally attributed to the Andes and the sparse vegetation
cover due to altitude. It is not unusual for porphyry rock types, porphyry-style alteration minerals and mineralisation
to be fresh at surface. Such circumstance often leads to the coincidence of distinct and discrete geochemical and
geophysical anomalism.
At the Company’s Chanape Cu-Mo-Au-Ag Porphyry Project, just such a circumstance prevails – a very clear and
characteristic porphyry-like signature – that comprises porphyry rock types, porphyry-style alteration minerals and
mineralisation, geochemistry and geophysics.
PERU’S PORPHyRy BELT
Peru’s Porphyry Belt extends along the entire length of Peru, paralleling the Pacific coast and roughly coinciding
with the Andes Mountains (Figure 8). This important porphyry belt hosts dozens of operating mines and countless
mineral deposits. The porphyry belt hosts many world-class mines with mineral resources well in excess of fifty
billion tonnes of ore. Peru’s porphyry belt can be divided into northern, central and southern parts and comprises
six informal metallogenic provinces.
World-class mines located within the Miocene [Epithermal Au-Ag] Belt within the Peru Porphyry Belt include:
Yanacocha (+700Mt @ 0.8g/t Au for +50Moz of Au), the world’s second largest gold mine, Lagunas Norte (+650Mt
@ 0.71g/t Au, 3.5g/t Ag for +14Moz of Au, 24Moz Ag) and Pierina (+100Mt @ 2.0g/t Au for +9Moz of Au).

WESTERN AUSTRALIA
DINGO RANGE
Located approximately 200kms east of Leinster, Dingo Range is a large project covering a significant portion of the
Dingo Range Greenstone Belt (Figure 9). The project comprises eleven tenements covering an area of approximately
400km2. The tenements are held in the name of Inca and the Company owns all rights to the tenements.
The Dingo Range Project is highly prospective for nickel and gold. It covers the southern third of the Dingo Range-
Mt Fisher Greenstone Belt, an area which has risen to prominence in recent years through the progressive release
of headline nickel exploration results by Rox Resources (at their Mount Fisher Nickel Project) and through increased
news-flow from Cullen Resources (at their Eureka and Wanganoo projects).
In late 2012 Rox Resources discovered nickel at their Mt Fisher Project, which is adjacent to Inca’s Dingo Range Nickel
Project, and were subsequently rewarded with their maiden Ni resource of 34,600t Ni at the Camelwood Prospect
(1.6Mt @ 2.2%Ni) (as announced by Rox 3 October 2013). On 10 January 2014, Rox Resources announced positive Ni
assay results from two new discoveries, Musket and Cannonball Prospects which now adds to a project-wise maiden
resource of 3.6Mt @ 2%Ni. Rox concluded that there is strong regional potential for nickel, a view equally shared
by Inca. Nickel exploration in Western Australia has been heightened in recent years by two significant discoveries,
the Sirius discovery at Nova and the Rox discovery at Camelwood recently reinforced by high nickel concentrate
grades (14 – 17%) in metallurgical testing on samples from Camelwood reported in Rox’s ASX announcement 8 April
2014. While Inca’s principal focus remains the evaluation of its porphyry deposit at Chanape in Peru, the Company
recognises the tremendous potential of Dingo Range for nickel mineralisation – a view with heightened expectancy
in light of Rox’s discovery in the same area.
Figure 9: Regional geology plan showing the location of the Company’s Dingo Range Nickel Project, Rox
Resources’ Mt Fisher Nickel Project and Cullen’s Eureka Project.
In December 2013, the Company commissioned Grant “Rocky” Osborne to undertake detailed literature research
with the purpose of critically assessing past exploration conducted in the broader Dingo Range Project area. Rocky
was instrumental in the discovery the Rocky’s Reward Ni deposit, located north of the Perseverance nickel mine.
A number of high priority nickel targets have been generated (Figure 10) and further mapping and sampling has
occurred subsequent to year end. The principal target, referred to as the Jackal Prospect, is approximately 10km
long and corresponds to an outcropping ultramafic with coincident strong Ni-Cu-Zn ratios and a surficial sample
peak Ni value of 3,033ppm (with modest Cu [41ppm] and very low Zn [28ppm]).
14 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Operational Review
The project occurs in an area of intense folding as seen in magnetic images (Figure 10a) which draws important
analogies with other regional and global nickel occurrences (Figure 10b and 10c). The Jackal Prospect is located within a
sequence of thick tholeiitic basalt flows and dolerites, interspersed by chlorite schists, talc schists, interflow sediments
and minor komatiitic volcanics. This sequence is believed to be a chronostratigraphic equivalent [occurring at the
same time within the geological sequence] of the Ni-bearing Windarra greenstone. The stratigraphic relationship of
the komatiitic ultramafic overlying the sulphidic banded iron formation is known to host nickel sulphide mineralisation
at Windarra, while exhalative sulphide bodies occur in the footwall to the nickel sulphide mineralisation at Leinster.
The ultramafic at the Jackal Prospect has anomalous geochemistry (Ni, PGE, Au and S) and represents a strong
target for nickel sulphide mineralisation that has hitherto been under-explored.

INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 15
Operational Review
The Company’s initial exploration program on the Dingo Range Ni targets includes low cost detailed geological
mapping and rock-chip/soil sampling. Follow-up work would involve geophysics and drill testing and, whilst the
Chanape Project remains the principal focus of Inca, the Company intends to unlock the tremendous potential of Ni
sulphide at the Dingo Range Project.

Corporate Governance Statement
COMMuNITy STANDARDS
Inca Minerals Limited understands that the development of successful resource projects demands a proactive
recognition of the breadth of stakeholder interest in these projects. The Company is committed to the protection
of the environment and to ensure the safety and health of its employees, customers, contractors and communities
where it operates and in all its business activities. The Company is dedicated to compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations and to work with government, communities and other stakeholders in policy development and
implementation.
Community – Peru
The Company has a number of projects in Peru where community involvement is prescribed in a regulatory and
operational capacity. Right of access and right to conduct exploration and mining programs are provided by
communities whose lands are affected. It is, in broad terms, no different to that of any other mining destination in
the world.
The Company’s approach to community relationships and programs is to be genuine, proactive and to treat the
community as you would treat a valued partner. Inca recognises that we are a foreign company wishing to conduct
exploration on lands owned by a community. The core business must be a partnership and both parties must benefit.
The glue that bonds this partnership, that fortifies the purpose is the approach and effort all parties commit to the
relationship.
The overarching objective of Inca’s community relations plan in Peru is to facilitate mutual benefit and, in so doing,
community approval of the Company’s exploration programs. This inherently includes the objectives of:
Obtaining access approval to community lands.
Obtaining approval for prescribed exploration activities.
Establishing Company/community rapport.
Establishing consensus as to community upliftment programs.
Establishing consensus as to community engagement programs.
traditional owners – australian tenements
Inca has a number of tenements in Western Australia. However, during the 2013/2014 financial year Inca’s focus
and resources have been largely directed toward its Peruvian projects. Consequently, there has been little if any
interaction or engagement necessitated with parties representing the traditional owners of the lands on which Inca
has tenements. Inca has and continues to commit to communication and consultation with traditional owners in all
areas where it operates. Where Inca’s activities on Australian tenements increase, it fully expects that an extensive
Cultural Heritage Management Plan will be developed in consultation with the traditional owners as the Company’s
various projects are developed toward production.
LANDHOLDERS
Inca has a commitment to work constructively and proactively with landholders. The Company’s aim is to minimise
the impact on their livelihood and lifestyle. Inca will continue to conduct its operations with the intention of
developing long and collaborative relationships with landholders.
HEALTH AND SAFETy
Inca undertakes its operations with the philosophy that occupational health and safety is paramount. The Company
aims to continually improve its processes and performances. Promoting and ensuring a culture in which all employees
and contractors fulfil their individual responsibilities in implementing the Health and Safety policy and meeting the
regulatory standards remains a key focus.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
PRINCIPAL ACTIvITIES
The Company’s principal activities during the year were conducting exploration and evaluation work on existing
tenements. Inca Minerals Limited is a Western Australian and Peruvian focused exploration company whose aims
are to find, develop and/or demonstrate the potential of projects to others. Inca will continue to seek opportunities
for acquiring or farming in to new tenements, and to divest or joint venture where there is benefit to shareholders.

REvIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s current exploration position and other activities appear in announcements released to the Australian

this report.
During the report period the Company continued to focus on the exploration and evaluation of its Peruvian projects
and in particular, the Company’s flagship Chanape Project. This followed the discovery of a mineralised porphyry
at Chanape in the Company’s maiden drill hole (as announced in the previous report period). Independent expert
opinion, continued exploration conducted throughout the report period, and unsolicited interest from major
diversified mining companies confirmed the importance of the initial discovery, delivered a number of standout
exploration results (few better than a 55 metre down hole interval @ 2.3% copper, 0.60g/t gold and 42.90g/t silver
from 155 metres) and reaffirmed that Chanape possesses strong potential as a dual-resource project hosting a near-
surface copper, gold and silver resource as well as deeper porphyry and porphyry-related copper-molybdenum-
silver±gold mineralisation.
The Company’s exploration success underpinned its ability to raise capital throughout the report period with the
completion of a Share Purchase Plan (refer ASX announcement 18 December 2013) raising $513,000 and a $1.25
million placement (refer ASX announcement 22 April 2014).

Directors’ Report
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for directors and executives of the Company.
REMuNERATION POLICy
The remuneration policy of Inca Minerals Limited aligns director and executive objectives with shareholder and
business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and, where the Board believes it appropriate,
may also include specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s ability to
attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company.
The remuneration policy setting out the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives
was developed by the Board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as ability and
experience). The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance,
executive performance, and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar
industries. The performance of the executive directors is measured against the objective of promoting growth in
shareholder value.
The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses, and options. The policy is designed
to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in
shareholder wealth. Executives may, where the Board believes it appropriate, participate in employee share and
option arrangements.
The Board policy is to remunerate directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The Board determines payments to directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on
market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum
aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders in a
general meeting (currently $240,000 per annum).
PERFORMANCE BASED REMuNERATION
Ross Brown earned a performance related cash bonus of $20,000 plus superannuation and a shares based bonus of
$16,425 for the year ended 30 June 2014. The amounts remain unpaid and accrued as at balance date. A share based
payments expense relating to the share based bonus of $16,425 has been booked in the accounts. The total number
of shares to be issued is to be based upon the volume weighted average price of Inca’s shares for the 5 trading days
immediately prior to the date or issue and is subject to shareholder approval at Inca’s next Annual General Meeting.

36 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies
The financial report covers the Company of Inca Minerals Limited, a listed public company incorporated and
domiciled in Australia, and its controlled entities.
The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 September 2014 by the Board of Directors.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial
report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with
Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards.
In the year ended 30 June 2014, the company has reviewed all of the new and revised Australian Accounting
Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current
annual reporting period. It has been determined by the company that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of
the new Standards and Interpretations on its business and therefore, no changes are required to its accounting
policies. Material accounting policies adopted in preparation of this financial report are presented below and have
been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal
business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2014, the consolidated entity incurred after tax losses of $2,952,310 (2013: loss of
$3,526,901) and the consolidated entity had net cash outflows of $2,885,780 (2013: net cash inflows of $2,830,079).
The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company and consolidated entity will continue as
going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report
after consideration of the following factors:
The consolidated entity has cash at bank at the reporting date of $580,880, net working capital of $578,234 and
net assets of $10,603,260;
The Company completed a capital raising on 6 August 2014 raising $3,200,000 (before broker commissions)
through the issue of 139,130,432 fully paid ordinary shares;
The ability of the Group to raise capital by the issue of additional shares under the Corporation Act 2001; and
The ability to curtail administration and operational cash out flows as required.
INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 37
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
ACCOuNTING POLICIES
a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent, Inca Minerals
Limited (“Inca” or “the Company”) and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The
parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in
Note 20.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group
from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from
the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions
between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed
and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-controlling
interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries
and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the
non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-
controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income.
Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and
statement of comprehensive income.
b) Revenue Recognition
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the
financial asset.
Income Tax
c)
The income tax expense/(revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax
expense/(income). Current income tax expense charged to the profit of loss is the tax payable on taxable income
calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax
liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant
taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during
the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of profit or loss
when the tax related to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result
where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date. Their
measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of
the related asset or liability.
38 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
c) Income Tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference
can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a largely enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and
liabilities related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different
taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective
asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are
expected to be recovered or settled.
d) Mining Tenements and Exploration and Development Expenditure
Mining tenements are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area
of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the
successful development and/or sale of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that
permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which
the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of
the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry
forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included
in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment
and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining
permits. Such costs are determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on
an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site
restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations
and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be
completed within one year of abandoning the site.
e) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity 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.
INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 39
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
e) Financial Instruments (continued)
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions 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.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires 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 their fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or
liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
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 designed 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.
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 Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
iv. Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are
not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there
is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
v. Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis,
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price the Group would
receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) transaction between
independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
40 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
e) Financial Instruments (continued)
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to
determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific
asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined
using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of
observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for
the asset or liability (ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the
absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period
(ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer
the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the
asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and
best use. The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based
payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such
financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets.
Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed
in the respective note to the financial statements.
valuation techniques
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation
techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability. The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and
relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation
techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:
Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a
single discounted present value.
Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when
pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group
gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable
inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions)
and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are
considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using
the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair
value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to
the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date.

for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
e) Financial Instruments (continued)
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 (ie transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in
circumstances occurred.
Impairment of Assets
f)
At each reporting date, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the
asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to profit or
loss.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future
cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the
asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the
relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where
an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of
its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A
reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair
value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
g) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation
and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the
estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable
amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment
losses relate to a revalued asset.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash
flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows
have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
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 Company and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of
comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the
Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of fixed asset
Plant and equipment
Motor vehicles
IT equipment
Depreciation
rate
20–33%
20–33%
33%
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 gains and
losses are included in the profit or loss.
h) Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
i) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred
is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial
position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis,
except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 43
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
j) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the
acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
k) Earnings per Share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding
any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the financial year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary
shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation
to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
l) Leases
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not
the legal ownership that are transferred to the economic entity, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value
of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual
values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for
the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease
term. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are
charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
m) employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees
to reporting date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later
than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those
benefits.
n) 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.
o) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the
ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting
period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
p) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid
at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid
within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
q) Foreign Currency transactions Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars, which is the parent entity’s functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of
the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items
measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary
items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where
deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive
income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the
exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s
presentation currency, are translated as follows:
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian
dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in
the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the
operation is disposed of.
r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Other Accounting Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Company is of the view that there are no critical accounting estimates and judgements in this financial report,
other than accounting estimates and judgements in relation to the carrying value of mineral exploration expenditure.
Key judgements
Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These
costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at reporting date reached a stage that permits reasonable
assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, or alternatively, are expected to be sold. Refer
to the accounting policy stated in Note 1(d).

s) new standards and interpretations adopted in 2013/14 financial year
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential
amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013.
AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements;
AASB 11: Joint Arrangements;
AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities;
AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement;
AASB 119: Employee Benefits; and
AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements
Accounting Standard and Interpretation
AASB 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
AASB 10 replaces the parts of AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ that deal with consolidated
financial statements and provides a revised definition of “control” such that an investor controls an investee when:
a) it has power over an investee;
b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. This may result in an entity
having to consolidate an investee that was not previously consolidated and/or deconsolidate an investee that was
consolidated under the previous accounting pronouncements.
There have been no changes to the treatment of investees compared to prior year.
AASB 11 ‘Joint Arrangements’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the
Consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’.
AASB 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and
accounted for. Under AASB 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements – joint operations and joint ventures.
The classification of joint arrangements under AASB 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties
to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms
agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. Application of this
standard has not impacted on the financial statements of the Group.
AASB 12 ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ and AASB 2011-7 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards
arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards’. AASB 12 is a new disclosure standard and is
applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated
structured entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements.
AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and AASB 2011-8 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from
AASB 13’.
46 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
s) new standards and interpretations adopted in 2013/14 financial year (continued)
The Group has applied AASB 13 for the first time in the current year. AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance
for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of AASB 13 is broad;
the fair value measurement requirements of AASB 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial
instrument items for which other AASBs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value
measurements, except for share based payment transactions that are within the scope of AASB 2 ‘Share-based
Payment’, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117 ‘Leases’, and measurements that have some
similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or
value in use for impairment assessment purposes).
AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ (2011) and AASB 2011-10 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising
from AASB 119 (2011)’
AASB 119 (as revised in 2011) changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The
most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The
amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets
when they occur, and hence eliminate the ‘corridor approach’ permitted under the previous version of AASB 119 and
accelerate the recognition of past service costs.
All actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net
pension asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of
the plan deficit or surplus. Application of AASB 119 Employee Benefits has not impacted on the financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Inca Minerals
Limited) and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls.
The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is
provided in Note 20.
The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group
from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from
the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions
between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed
and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non controlling
interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries
and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the
non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-
controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income.
Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and
statement of comprehensive income.
Interests in Joint Arrangements
Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where
unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required.
INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014 47
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
s) new standards and interpretations adopted in 2013/14 financial year (continued)
Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers with an interest to net assets are classified as a “joint
venture” and accounted for using the equity method.
Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset
and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Group’s interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue and
expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the consolidated financial statements.
Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other parties’ interests.
When the Group makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from
the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to a third party.
Fair value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis,
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an
orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the
measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to
determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific
asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined
using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of
observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability
(ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a
market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that
maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after
taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the
asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and
best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial
instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where
this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the
respective note to the financial statements.
valuation techniques
In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation
techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and
relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation
techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:
– Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.
48 INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1: Statement of Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
s) new standards and interpretations adopted in 2013/14 financial year (continued)
–
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses
into a single discounted present value.
– Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service
capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when
pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group
gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable
inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions)
and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are
considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using
the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair
value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to
the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date.
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.

t) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the AASB which are not yet
mandatorily applicable to the Group have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.
Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting period
commencing 1 January 2017)
AASB 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under
AASB 9, financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the
characteristics of their contractual cash flows. The 2010 revisions introduce additional changes relating to financial
liabilities.
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes
revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and
derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.
Key changes made to this standard that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to
the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, and the irrevocable
election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other
comprehensive income. AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility
in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to
change hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of AASB 9, the application of such
accounting would be largely prospective.
Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group’s financial
instruments, including hedging activity, it is impractical at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
Other standards not yet applicable
These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2014, if interest rates had changed by 25 basis points during the entire year with all other variables held
constant, profit for the year and equity would have been $5,062 higher/lower (2013: $10,267), mainly as a result of
higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management
personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.
(b) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date on financial assets of the Company is the carrying amount,
net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial
statements.
(c) Commodity price risk
The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk as the operations of the Company are not yet at the production
stage.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
INCA MINERALS LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Inca Minerals Limited, which comprises the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the
consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time
to time during the financial year.
Directors’ responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error. In note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard
AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply
with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’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 company’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.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or
management.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
