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.

Figure 1: Schematic vertical section of Chanape, showing (LEFT TO RIGHT) relative height above 
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.

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.

Highlights of this year’s operations at Chanape include:
Discovery  of  ore-grade  Cu-Mo-Au-Ag  mineralisation  in  the  latest 
hole  CH-DDH012.  The  Company’s  very  latest  hole  (CH-DDH012) 
intersected 
tourmaline  breccias  between  surface  and 
approximately  205m  depth.  The  first  of  these  was  known  (Breccia 
Pipe 8). The second was a genuine discovery.

two 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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]).

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.

nickel  targets  have  been  recognised  in  association  with 
folded  ultramafic  units  that  occur  throughout  the  project 
area.

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.

controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2014.

DIRECTORS
The  names  of  directors  in  office  at  any  time  during  or  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year  are  listed  hereunder. 
Directors were in office since the start of the financial year to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.

INFORMATION ON DIRECTORS
ROSS BROWN B.Sc (Hons), M.Aus.IMM.
Managing Director
A geologist by profession, Mr Brown has had over 28 years’ experience in mineral exploration in Australia, Asia, 
Africa and South America and he has worked in a broad range of commodities, including gold, base metals, uranium, 
phosphate  and  diamonds.  Mr  Brown  has  a  rare  ability  in  recognising  the  commercial  potential  of  exploration 
projects and geological process, and has a proven track record of bringing technical-based exploration concepts 
and projects to market.

In 2009 Mr Brown co-founded the gold/copper exploration company, Mystic Sands Pty Ltd, which was established 
for  the  purposes  of  conducting  exploration  in  Chile,  South  America.  With  the  assistance  of  other  technical 
management  Mr  Brown  was  responsible  for  the  composition  of  the  initial  project  portfolio.  Mystic  Sands  was 
purchased by Australian-listed explorer White Star Minerals Ltd. As part of the transaction, Sandfire Resources NL 
became a shareholder of White Star Minerals Ltd.

Mr  Brown  turned  his  attention  to  Peru  in  2009  and  through  his  network  of  Peruvian-based  businessmen  and 
geologists assessed the potential of more than a hundred projects. Mr Brown recognised the great potential of 
mineral discovery in that country and recognised the potential of Inca’s lead project, Chanape, from being a known 
polymetallic deposit to being that of a potentially large copper-molybdenum-silver-gold porphyry deposit.

Mr Brown was the co-founder and Managing Director of Urcaguary Pty Ltd, the Company’s fully owned subsidiary 
(formerly  called  Inca  Minerals  Limited)  and  he  became  the  Company’s  Managing  Director  after  its  takeover  of 
Urcaguary.  As  at  30  June  2014,  and  in  addition  to  his  position  with  the  Company,  Mr  Brown  remains  a  Director 
of Urcaguary and the Company’s other subsidiary companies. In the previous 3 years, Mr Brown has not been a 
director of any other ASX listed companies.

Mr Brown has been a member of AusIMM since 1988, and is also a member of GSA, SEG and AICD.

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.

OPERATING RESuLTS
The operating loss after income tax of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2014 was $2,952,310 (2013: loss of 
$3,526,901).

REvIEW  OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s current exploration position and other activities appear in announcements released to the Australian 
Securities Exchange throughout the year ended 30 June 2014 (report period) and should be read in conjunction with 
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).

FINANCIAL POSITION
The net assets of the Group were $10,603,260 as at 30 June 2014 ($12,324,640 as at 30 June 2013).

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
The Company raised $1,768,903 (before broker commissions) capital during the financial year and there were no 
other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

DIvIDENDS  PAID OR RECOMMENDED
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no dividends have been paid or declared since the 
start of the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT EvENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE

the issue of 139,130,432 fully paid ordinary shares. No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

INCA MINERALS ANNUAL REPORT 2014   41

Notes to the Financial Statements 
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.

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.

44   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)
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.

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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
for the year ended 30 June 2014

Note 1: Statement of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)
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.

Employee Share Loans
During the 2011 financial year the Company issued two unsecured interest-free non-recourse loans to two former 
executives in order to fund a purchase of the Company’s shares on behalf of these executives (Employee Shares). 
These executives are no longer employees of the Company. The Company has obtained the Powers of Attorney 
over these shares held by the former executives. The Company may place the Employee Shares in escrow at any 
time and, subject to the Company’s agreement, 50% of the Employee Shares may be sold two years after the loan 
start date and the other 50% of the Employee Shares may be sold three years after the loan start date. The loan 
agreements (Agreement) for Employee Shares contain the following repayment provisions:

Repayment of the Principal Sum (or any part of the Principal Sum that remains outstanding) (Outstanding Balance) 
must occur on the earlier of:
(a)  The sale or transfer of any or all of the Employee Shares in accordance with the Agreement;
(b) 30 days after the Employee ceasing to employed by Carrick Gold Limited (now KalNorth Gold Mines Limited) or 

any of its subsidiaries; and

(c)  The date which is three (3) years and one (1) month after the date of the Agreement, (each being a Repayment 

Event).

mining option, mining assignment and option of a future asset agreement.

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.
