CHAIRMANS LETTER

Dear Shareholders, 

I am pleased to present this review of the activities of the company during the financial year ended 30th June 2011.

The past year continued our strong focus on implementing the steel feed strategy, with construction commencing on the 

Tshipi Manganese Project, feasibility studies on the Central Yilgarn Iron Projects underway, and further key management 

appointments at the Company.   

I was re-elected as Chairman on October 8th 2010.

On  May  9th  2011  Richard  Mehan  joined  the  Company  as  Managing  Director  and  Chief  Executive  Officer.    Richard 

previously worked in a number of senior mining roles including President & Chief Executive Officer Asia Pacific for Cliffs 

Natural Resources and Managing Director of Portman Ltd. On the same day Greg Durack assumed the position of Chief 

Operating Officer.  On June 15th 2011 Matt Finkelstein joined as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Company 

Secretary. 

On July 6th 2010 a notice of meeting for an EGM in relation to the Tshipi transaction was advised and an independent 

experts report released.  Mining rights were granted to Tshipi on September 6th 2010 and, on October 29th 2010 the 

Tshipi  transaction  was  completed.    Approval  to  commence  project  construction  was  given  on  February  7th  2011  and 

development is now underway.  Manganese ore is scheduled to be available for shipment in the second half of 2012.

The Company has been very active in progressing the Central Yilgarn Iron Projects (CYIP).

An 11000 meter drill program was undertaken during  the year to test the Mount Ida magnetite exploration  target.   As 

announced the drilling program resulted in a maiden inferred resource of 530 million tonnes at 31.94% Fe in the projects 

central zone.

Scoping studies were then undertaken on both the Mount Ida magnetite project and the Mount Mason DSO hematite 

project both of which delivered robust economic outcomes.

Your Board subsequently approved the undertaking of Definitive Feasibility Studies (DFS) on both projects, and major 

study consultants were appointed in July, 2011.

2

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

Capital raisings at end January and in April raised A$150 million to fund Jupiter’s share of Tshipi construction costs and 

the CYIP feasibility studies.

The aggressive development program is focussed on a very busy year ahead, targetting production from the Tshipi project, 

completion of the Mount Mason DFS and significant progress on the Mount Ida DFS. 

We will continue to make appropriate additions to the Jupiter management team to support these initiatives and I look 

forward to providing shareholders with updated information on progress during the year ahead.

Yours Faithfully

Jupiter Mines Limited

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter” or the “Company”) continued to focus on the development of its iron and manganese 
projects in pursuit of its long term Steel Feed Corporation (“SFC”) strategy.  

Significant progress was achieved during the year across the Company’s major project areas in Australia, at the Central 
Yilgarn Iron Project (“CYIP”) and in South Africa at the Tshipi Kalahari Manganese Project (“Tshipi Project”).

Following success in these core projects, Jupiter is set to evolve from an exploration company to a mine development 
and producing entity.

CENTRAL YILGARN IRON PROJECT
Mount Ida and Mount Mason

The Central Yilgarn Iron Project (“CYIP”) area is located 130km by road northwest of the town of Menzies, where an iron 
ore storage and load out facility is planned to access the Brookfield Rail Leonora to Kalgoorlie railway line and the Port 
of  Esperance  for  export  (Figure  1).    Jupiter’s  CYIP  will  have  reduced  capital  expenditure  requirements  compared  to  a 
greenfields development as a result of being able to access an existing railway and port. Capital contributions will be 
required to utilise and upgrade the existing infrastructure. 

Figure 1 - Central Yilgarn Iron Project Location Map

Jupiter substantially progressed the CYIP during the year with testing on the Mount Ida central zone delivering a maiden 
inferred resource of 530 million tonnes at 31.94% Fe.  Scoping Studies were completed on both the Mount Ida Magnetite 
Project  and  the  Mount  Mason  DSO  Hematite  Project  by  ProMet  Engineers  (ProMet),  with  both  studies  demonstrating 
financially  robust  projects.  The  Jupiter  Board  subsequently  approved  the  undertaking  of  feasibility  studies  for  each 
project, to be run in parallel.  Approximately 90,000 metres of drilling (RC 79,000 metres and diamond 11,000 metres) 
will be required to complete the studies. The drilling programme is scheduled to run over 12 months and is due to be 
completed by July 2012.

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

A forty man exploration camp was constructed in April 2011 as well as a core and sample handling shed to facilitate the 
program.  Drilling contracts were awarded, and a total of five drill rigs commenced mobilising to site in mid May 2011.  As 
at 30 June 2011 8,403 meters have been drilled (RC 6,446 metres and diamond 1,957 metres).  

Major consultants for the feasibility studies were evaluated and selected during the September 2011 quarter.  The targeted 
completion timeline of the Mount Mason and Mount Ida feasibility studies are the March and December quarters of 2012 
respectively. 

Figure 2 - Camp Cassini Dry Mess Open Deck 

MOUNT IDA MAGNETITE PROJECT

Figure 3 - Core and Sample Shed

The flagship Mount Ida Magnetite Project has the potential to be a world class magnetite project with substantial life of 
project creating significant positive cash flows further establishing Jupiter in the Central Yilgarn region.

In the second half of 2010 an 11,898 metre RC drill program was completed. The program targeted the Central Zone within 
the conceptual exploration target of 1.1-1.3 billion tonnes of magnetite with an expected grade of between 30 to 40% Fe. 

The potential quantity and grade of the Mount Ida project is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient drilling 
to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED annual report 2011

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The drill program was completed mid December 2010, with the initial maiden inferred resource of 530 million tonnes at 
31.94% Fe announced to the market on 19 January 2011.  This initial resource exceeded expectations; the geological 
model previously indicating approximately 400 million tonnes would likely be delivered from the Central Zone.  Given the 
Central Zone represents only 30% of the magnetite mineralization strike length of the exploration target, there is significant 
potential for Mount Ida to be a substantial magnetite project. 

Figure 4 - Mount Ida Inferred Mineral Resource (Central Zone) 

Jupiter further announced on the 18 March 2011 that a Scoping Study on Mount Ida had been completed by ProMet 
Engineers Pty Ltd (“ProMet”).  The Scoping Study, which was based on the Mount Ida inferred resource of 530 million 
tonnes,  indicated  a  financially  robust  magnetite  operation.  The  Scoping  Study  assumed  an  open  pit  contract  mining 
operation extracting 25mtpa run of mine (ROM) ore to produce 10mtpa of high grade magnetite concentrate, with an iron 
grade in excess of 68% Fe, a silica content of 4.5% and very low levels of impurities (sulphur, phosphorous and alumina). 
An average 43.4% weight recovery was calculated based on test work already completed.  The Base Case for the Scoping 
Study  assumed  that  the  magnetite  concentrate  would  be  railed  from  Mount  Ida  to  a  site  south  of  Menzies  where  the 
concentrate would be dewatered, filtered and loaded onto trains for transportation to the Port of Esperance.  This Base 
Case scenario further assumed that power would be provided out of Menzies by a third party utilising gas as the prime 
power source.  Given the high grade and quality of the concentrate, Jupiter anticipates the concentrate would achieve a 
premium to benchmark iron ore prices.

The Scoping Study, based on the above assumptions, estimated capital costs of the project to be $1,583 million and cash 
operating costs of $62.78 per tonne of magnetite concentrate produced.  Using 100% equity financing, ignoring taxation, 
and assuming a concentrate value of US$110 per tonne and a 5% concentrate royalty, the Project generates an NPV of 
$1,685 million @ an 8% pa discount rate, and an IRR of 19.8% pa.

Work is currently underway to complete a definitive feasibility study which will further examine the Base Case used in the 
Scoping Study and other optimising scenarios.  Drill rigs have been mobilised to site and RC and Diamond drilling totalling 
approximately  90,000  metres  is  underway.    The  initial  focus  of  the  drill  programs  will  be  to  bring  the  current  inferred 
resources in the Central Zone into measured and indicated status.  Further exploration drilling will also be undertaken 
testing  the  northern  and  southern  extents  of  the  Mount  Ida  Banded  Iron  Formation  (BIF)  system  with  the  objective  of 
substantially  increasing  the  Mount  Ida  magnetite  inferred  resource  base.    Consultants  have  been  commissioned  to 
work with the owners’ team on the major components of the feasibility study.  SRK Consulting will undertake the key 
components related to geology, resources, mining and hydrology, ProMet the metallurgy, process design and non-process 
infrastructure, and Keith Lindbeck, the environmental and permitting requirements.  

The feasibility study is scheduled to be finalised at the end of 2012.

MOUNT MASON DSO HEMATITE PROJECT 

Jupiter is the 100% owner of the Mount Mason high-grade hematite resource (DSO) which forms part of the Company’s 
CYIP in Western Australia (refer to Figure 1).  

Jupiter announced on 12 May 2011 that a Scoping Study on Mount Mason had been completed by ProMet.  The Scoping 
Study was based on the 2009 inferred resources of 5.75 million tonnes at 59.9% Fe, 3.5% Al2O3, 7.4% SiO2, 0.064% P 
and 3.0% LOI using a 55% Fe cut-off grade.  Based on a 1.5 mtpa production rate, the study confirmed a financially robust 
DSO operation giving a project with less than 1 year payback, 70% internal rate of return and A$80 million free cash flow 
generation potential.  

The Scoping Study analysed two options available in terms of self-owning or contract mining, crushing and screening and 
haulage to rail facilities as outlined in Table 1.

Drilling has been completed at Mount Mason and the feasibility study has commenced which will run concurrently with the 
Mount Ida feasibility study using the same Consultants. It is expected to be completed in early 2012.  

TSHIPI KALAHARI MANGANESE PROJECT 

Following shareholding approval at the EGM held on the 12 August 2010, Jupiter announced on the 8 November 2010 
completion of the 49.9% acquisition of Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining (Pty) Ltd (“Tshipi”) (“The Tshipi Transaction”). Tshipi 
owns two manganese projects located in the South African region of the Kalahari.  Under the terms of the acquisition, 
Jupiter issued 1,160,363,867 restricted ordinary shares at a price of 21.10 c/share (based on the 30 day volume weighted 
average price of Jupiter shares prior to completion of The Tshipi Transaction) in exchange for 49.9% of the equity of Tshipi.  
The Tshipi project is on track to become the market’s next major open pit manganese ore producer.

The shareholding structure upon completion of the Tshipi Transaction is shown in Figure 7.

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

The Tshipi flagship project is the Tshipi Borwa Mine which is presently being developed as a new stand alone open-pit 
manganese mine. The Tshipi Borwa Mine is located in the southern portion of the Kalahari Manganese Field, the largest 
manganese bearing geological formation in the world. The Tshipi Bokone Project is an exploration property located in 
the northern portion of the Kalahari Manganese Field.  The Tshipi Borwa Mine is located adjacent to the Mamatwan mine 
which is majority owned and operated by BHP Billiton.  The Project will mine the ore body that is contiguous to, and a 
direct extension of, the Mamatwan ore body which has been mined for over 45 years. As such the Tshipi Borwa Mine is 
expected to produce an identical product that has been tried and tested in the global manganese markets.

TSHIPI BORWA MINE

During 2008 and 2009 Tshipi carried out a comprehensive drilling campaign which was the basis for the completion of a 
feasibility study.  Tshipi feasibility study indicated the viability of an open cut mining operation that is expected to produce 
approximately 2.5 million tonnes per annum of lumpy product over 28 years, utilising 62 million tonnes of the 163 million 
tonnes Mineral Resource estimate (see Table 2).  These mineral resources are compliant with the South African Code for 
the  Reporting  of  Exploration  Results,  Mineral  Resources  and  Mineral  Reserves  (“the  SAMREC  Code  (2007)”),  and  the 
Australian JORC Code (“JORC”).

Table 2 - Mineral Resources for The Tshipi Project as at July 2009 (excluding Top Cut)

On the 10 November 2010 Jupiter announced that SRK Consultants have undertaken a detailed assessment of the “Top-
Cut” which is a 17m thick manganese layer that occurs directly above the geological sequence on which Tshipi has based 
its  feasibility  study  on  (the  163mt  @  37%  as  indicated  in  defined  in  Table  3).    The  Top-Cut  consists  of  three  separate 
manganese layers (the X, Y and Z zones) which sampled lower grades than the lower layers (the M, C and N zones).  The 
X and Z zones of the Top-Cut have been estimated to contain 145mt of manganese ore at a 31.75% grade and these 
resources are in addition to the “Feasibility Study” mineral resource estimate of 163 million tonnes at 37.1% manganese.  
The Top-Cut is compliant with both the SAMREC Code (2007) and JORC. 

It may be feasible to upgrade the Top-Cut through selective mining and/or post mining processing in order to produce a 
saleable product.  The potential sale of the Top-Cut material will result in a direct reduction in the Tshipi Borwa stripping 
ratio and a reduction of the fixed costs per tonne of ore mined.

Jupiter announced on the 7 February 2011 that Board approval had been received to commence the construction of the 
Tshipi Borwa Mine at a production capacity of 2.4 mtpa of direct shippable manganese ore.  The design of the mine and 
associated surface infrastructure (including the crushing and screening plant, the load out station and the rail siding) have 
been finalised. The capital expenditure for the project is expected to be ZAR 1,728 million ($237 million) which includes a 
contingency of ZAR 260 million ($36 million).  Jupiter is fully funded to contribute their 49.9% share of the Tshipi Project 
capital expenditure of ZAR 734 million ($100 million) (excluding contingency).    

Development of the mine has commenced and activities include initial clearing, fencing of the project area, soil compacting 
and road development, with rock and water necessary for the construction being sourced from a neighbouring mine in 
the area.  The Tshipi Project has also awarded final contracts with major suppliers for the bulk earth works, rail siding 
construction,  plant  construction  and  crusher  fabrication.  The  preferred  mining  contractor  has  been  identified  and 
negotiations  are  continuing  to  sign  off  on  a  final  contract  in  order  to  commence  pre-stripping.    Discussions  similarly 
continue with Transnet, the state owned rail network operator, to secure rail allocation to Port Elizabeth.

Figure 9 - Site preparation

It is anticipated that upon reaching a steady state production rate, the Tshipi Project will be a lowest cost quartile producer 
and that first production will be in the second half of 2012.

Metallurgical test work from recent drilling on the C11 and C12 prospects was undertaken and designed to determine the 
potential for JORC compliant inferred resources.  Encouraging results were received with the average results reported 
+35% Mn, <10% Si, 18% Fe and a yield of 38%.

The results from this drilling and metallurgical program are very encouraging, confirming the presence of manganese rich 
horizons around Woodie Woodie’s high grade manganese deposits and elsewhere within the region.

Jupiter will be reviewing its exploration program at Oakover for 2012.

Tshipi Bokone Project

The initial exploration program has been completed and preliminary assay results confirm the continuity of mineralisation.  
Jupiter has engaged the services of an independent geological consultant to conduct the mineral resource estimates.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED annual report 2011

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of Jupiter Mines Limited is committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance 
in accordance with the Australian Securities Exchange’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (ASX 
Principles and Recommendations). In reviewing the corporate governance structure of the Company, the Board is guided 
by the ASX Principles and Recommendations and Jupiter follows the ASX Principles and Recommendations to the extent 
that it is practicable.

Set out below are the fundamental corporate governance practices of the Company.

Principle 1:  Lay Solid Foundations for Management and Oversight 

Role of the Board

The Board’s role is to govern Jupiter rather than to manage it. In governing Jupiter, the Directors must act in the best 
interests of Jupiter as a whole. Each member of the Board is committed to spending sufficient time to enable them to carry 
out their duties as a Director of Jupiter; any candidate will confirm that they have the necessary time to devote to their 
Company Board position prior to appointment. In addition, Non-Executive Directors receive formal letters of appointment 
setting out the key terms, conditions and expectations of their appointment.  

Responsibilities of the Board

In general, the Board is responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the policies, practices, 
management and operations of Jupiter.  It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry 
out the objectives of Jupiter. 

The  Board  is  responsible  for  governing  Jupiter  and  for  setting  the  strategic  direction  and  has  thereby  established  the 
functions reserved to the Board. Board responsibilities are set out in the Jupiter Board Charter. The Board operates an 
Audit Committee and a Remuneration & Nomination Committee to assist it in discharging its functions.  The Board Charter 
and Committee Charters are available on the Jupiter website (under “Corporate Governance”).

The Board generally holds meetings on a quarterly basis however additional meetings may be called as required.  Directors’ 
attendance at meetings for the year is set out in the Director Report section of this Annual Report.  

In carrying out its governance role, the main task of the Board is to oversee the performance of Jupiter. The Board is 
committed  to  Jupiter’s  compliance  with  all  of  its  contractual,  statutory  and  any  other  legal  obligations,  including  the 
requirements of any regulatory body. 

Relationship with Management

The Board has delegated responsibility for the day-to-day operations of Jupiter to senior executives as set out in the Board 
Charter.  It is the role of senior executives to manage Jupiter in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board 
and the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.  Key 
management information is set out in the Director Report section of this Annual Report.

Independent Professional Advice and Access to Company Information 

Each Director has the right of access to all Jupiter information and to Jupiter’s executives.  Further, the Board collectively 
and  each  Director,  subject  to  informing  the  Chairman,  has  the  right  to  seek  independent  professional  advice  from  a 
suitably qualified advisor, at Jupiter’s expense, to assist them to carry out their responsibilities. Where appropriate, a copy 
of this advice is to be made available to all other members of the Board. 

Performance Review/Evaluation

Senior executive’s key performance indicators are set annually, with performance appraised by the Board, and reviewed 
in  detail  by  the  Remuneration  &  Nomination  Committee  at  the  end  of  the  financial  year.  This  process  of  performance 
evaluation was undertaken during the year as part of the senior executive’s remuneration review. 

Education and Induction

New Directors undergo an induction process in which they are given a full briefing on Jupiter. Where possible, this will 
include meetings with key executives, and a due diligence package and presentations from management. 

16

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

In  order  to  achieve  continuing  improvement  in  Board  performance,  all  Directors  are  encouraged  to  undergo  continual 
professional development.

Principle 2:  Board Structure

Composition of the Board and details of Directors

Jupiter currently has six Directors at the date of this Annual Report.  Mr Brian Gilbertson held the position of Non-Executive 
Chairman  throughout  the  year.    Mr  Paul  Murray  and  Mr  Andrew  Bell  held  the  position  of  independent  Non-Executive 
Directors.  The remaining Directors Mr Priyank Thapliyal, and Mr Sun-Moon Woo are also Non-Executive Directors. 
Mr Richard Mehan was appointed Managing Director on 9 May 2011.

The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors and the external perspective and advice that Non-
Executive Directors can offer. It is the approach and attitude of each Non-Executive Director which determine independence 
and this must be considered in relation to each Director, while taking into account all other relevant factors. 

Determination of the independence of Directors is made with reference to the relationships affecting independent status 
as set out in the ASX Principles and Recommendations. Paul Murray and Andrew Bell are Independent Non-Executive 
Directors.  However, the Board was not comprised of a majority of independent Directors throughout the 2011 year and 
as at the date of this Annual Report. The Chairman, Mr Brian Gilbertson is not independent as he is the Non-Executive 
Chairman  of  Pallinghurst  Resources  Limited  (Pallinghurst)  which  is  a  major  shareholder  of  the  Company.  Mr  Priyank 
Thapliyal is also directly associated with Pallinghurst and therefore not independent. Mr Andrew Bell was previously not 
independent as he is Chairman of Red Rock Resources Plc which was a substantial shareholder of Jupiter, however Red 
Rock  Resources  Plc  is  no  longer  a  substantial  shareholder  therefore  Mr  Andrew  Bell  is  now  considered  independent.  
Mr Sun Moon Woo is directly associated with POSCO Australia Pty Ltd, also a substantial shareholder of Jupiter, and 
therefore not independent.  Mr Richard Mehan in capacity of CEO and Managing Director is not considered independent.

Further details about the current Directors skills, experience and period of office are set out in the Directors’ Report section 
of this Annual Report.

Performance Review/Evaluation

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for the evaluation of the Board, committees and individual 
Director’s performance.  The Board has established policies to ensure that Jupiter remunerates fairly and responsibly. The 
Remuneration Policy of the Board is designed to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is competitive, 
reasonable and appropriate for the results delivered and to attract and maintain desirable Directors.

Remuneration & Nomination Committee 

The Board has established a Remuneration & Nomination Committee (Committee) and its role is set out a formal charter 
which is available on the Jupiter website under “Corporate Governance”. Mr Paul Murray remained on the Committee 
throughout the year as an independent Chairman of the Committee. Mr Andrew Bell and Mr Priyank Thapliyal are also 
members of the Committee. The Committee’s responsibilities, among others, is to assess the necessary competencies 
of the Board, review Board succession plans, develop processes for evaluation of the Board and the appointment and 
re-election of Directors with reference to the guidance set out in the Board Charter.  

Details of the members of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee and their attendance at Committee Meetings are 
set out in the Director’s Report section of this Annual Report.

Principle 3:  Ethical and Responsible Decision Making        

Confidentiality

In accordance with legal requirements and agreed ethical standards, Directors and key executives of Jupiter have agreed 
to  keep  confidential  information  received  in  the  course  of  the  exercise  of  their  duties  and  will  not  disclose  non-public 
information except where disclosure is authorised or legally mandated.

17

JUPITER MINES LIMITED annual report 2011

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Company Code of Conduct and Ethics

As part of its commitment to recognising the legitimate expectations of stakeholders and promoting practices necessary 
to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity, Jupiter has an established Code of Conduct and Ethics (Code) to guide 
compliance with legal, ethical and other obligations to legitimate stakeholders and the responsibility and accountability 
required of the Company’s personnel for reporting and investigating unethical practices or circumstances where there are 
beaches of the Code. These stakeholders include employees, clients, customers, government authorities, creditors and 
the community as whole. This Code governs all Jupiter commercial operations and the conduct of Directors, employees, 
consultants, contractors and all other people when they represent Jupiter. 

The Board, management and all employees of Jupiter are committed to implementing this Code and each individual is 
accountable  for  such  compliance.  A  copy  of  the  Code  is  given  to  all  employees,  contractors  and  relevant  personnel, 
including Directors, and is available on the Jupiter website (under “Corporate Governance”).  

Trading in Jupiter Shares

Jupiter’s Share Trading Policy prohibits Directors from taking advantage of their position or information acquired in the 
course of their duties, and the misuse of information for personal gain, or to cause detriment to the Company. Jupiter’s 
Share Trading Policy is in line with the updated ASX Listing Rules (effective 1 January 2011) and Guidance Note issued 
by the ASX.

Directors, senior executives and employees are required to advise Jupiter’s Company Secretary of their intentions prior 
to undertaking any transaction in Jupiter securities. If an employee, officer or director is considered to possess material 
non-public information, they will be precluded from making a security transaction until after the time of public release of 
that information.

A copy of Jupiter’s Share Trading Policy is available on the Jupiter website (under “Corporate Governance”). 

Principle 4:  Financial Reporting Integrity

Audit Committee

The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board. The responsibilities of the Committee are set out in a 
formal charter which is available on the Jupiter website under “Corporate Governance”. The Audit Committee members 
throughout the year comprised three Non-Executive members with Mr Paul Murray remaining the independent Chairman 
of the Audit Committee.  The other members were Mr Andrew Bell (independent Non-Executive member) and Mr Priyank 
Thapliyal (Non-Executive member). The Board has considered that the composition of the Committee is appropriate for 
the Company’s requirements at this time.

The Audit Committee Charter sets out the policy for the selection, appointment and rotation of external audit engagement 
partners.

Details of the members of the Audit Committee and their attendance at Committee Meetings are set out in the Director’s 
Report section of this Annual Report.

Principle 5:  Timely and Balanced Disclosure 

Continuous Disclosure

The  Board  has  designated  Jupiter’s  Company  Secretary  as  the  person  responsible  for  overseeing  and  co-ordinating 
disclosure of information to the ASX as well as communicating with the ASX.

The Board has established a written policy for ensuring compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and 
accountability at senior executive level for that compliance. A copy of the Jupiter Continuous Disclosure Policy is available 
on the Jupiter website (under “Corporate Governance”). 

Principle 6:  The Rights of Shareholders

Shareholder Communication

Jupiter respects the rights of its shareholders and to facilitate the effective exercise of those rights, Jupiter communicates 
with  its  shareholders  continually  and  periodically  and  encourages  shareholder  participation  at  annual  general 
meetings.  Periodic  ASX  announcements  include  quarterly  reports,  half-year  report,  annual  report  and  annual  general 

18

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

meeting presentations.  Copies of all ASX announcements and reports are made available on the Company’s website.  
Shareholders are encouraged to provide an email address to receive electronic copies of all announcements and reports.  
The independent external auditor attends the Annual General Meeting to respond to questions from shareholders on the 
conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report. 

A  copy  of  the  Jupiter  Shareholder  Communications  Policy  is  available  on  the  Jupiter  website  (under  “Corporate 
Governance”). 

Principle 7:  Recognises and Manages Risk 

The Board has accepted the role of identifying, assessing, monitoring, managing and mitigating wherever possible, any 
material business risks applicable to Jupiter and its operations. It has not established a separate committee to deal with 
these matters as the Directors consider the size of Jupiter and its operations does not warrant a separate committee at 
this time. The Audit Committee is charged with the responsibility of financial risk management.

The Company is committed to the identification, monitoring and management of material business risks of its activities.  
The Board has in place a number of policies that aim to manage specific risks that have been identified. The Company’s 
personnel  are  responsible  for  adhering  to  the  Occupational  Health  and  Safety  Policy  as  part  of  the  risk  management 
process. Further, the Board is aiming to develop an overall policy for the oversight and management of material business 
risks to accommodate its present and future stages of operations. 

The  Board  assumes  ultimate  responsibility  for  the  oversight  and  management  of  material  business  risks  and  satisfies 
itself annually, or more frequently as required, that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk 
management and internal control to manage the Company’s material business risks. As the Company is aiming to develop 
its risk management framework it will consider implementing management reporting on the Company’s key risks.  The 
Board delegates the adequacy and content of risk reporting to management.  As part of the audit processes and review 
throughout the year, the Board receives feedback that management has provided assurances to the auditors in relation 
to parts of the risk management framework. Details of the Companies financial risks can be found in the Notes to the 
accounts in this Annual Report. 

Attestations by Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer 

In accordance with Recommendation 7.3 of the ASX Principles, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 
have stated in writing to the Board: 
“That: 

1. 

the statement given in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act, the integrity of financial statements 
is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the 
policies adopted by the Board; and

2.  Jupiter Mines Limited’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently 

and effectively in all material respects.“ 

Principle 8:  Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly

Remuneration Report and Remuneration Policies

The  responsibilities  of  the  Remuneration  &  Nomination  Committee  include  making  recommendations  to  the  Board 
regarding the remuneration of senior executives, executive directors and non-executive directors of the Company.  

In accordance with the Constitution of Jupiter, shareholders determine the aggregate annual remuneration of the Non-
Executive Directors. It is the Board’s policy to issue options packages to Non-Executive Directors after a qualifying period 
of  six  months  service  on  the  Board,  and  with  the  approval  of  shareholders  at  a  general  meeting.  The  Board  believes 
that  this  policy  assists  in  attracting  Non-Executive  Directors  who  have  the  requisite  skills  to  add  value  to  the  Board. 
Remuneration of all Directors paid during the year is set out in the Remuneration Report and in note 5 to the Financial 
Statements.  

Further details on the structure of Executive Directors, Non-executive Directors and senior executives’ remuneration are 
set out in the Remuneration Report on pages 27 to 33 of this Annual Report.

Non-Executive Directors are eligible to receive options over the Company’s shares at the time of their retirement where 
it is considered an appropriate element of remuneration in situations when the Non-Executive’s skills and experiences 
are recognised as important to the Company’s future development. The terms of the options are set out in agreements 
between the Company and Non-Executive Directors and will vary depending on the age of the relevant Director at the 
time of retirement.

Mr Gilbertson was appointed as a Director on 22 June 2010. 

Mr Gilbertson has extensive experience in the global natural resources industry. In the 1980’s, he was Managing Director 
of Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited, a period during which the company gained recognition as  the world’s foremost 
producer of platinum. Later, as Executive Chairman of Gencor Limited he led the restructuring of the South African mining 
industry into the post-Apartheid era, transforming Gencor Limited into a focused mineral and mining group. 

During this period he held ultimate responsibility for Impala Platinum Holdings, for Samancor Limited (the world’s largest 
producer of manganese and chrome ore and alloys) and for Trans-Natal Coal Corporation (a major coal producer and 
exporter). Important new initiatives included the Hillside and Mozal aluminium projects, the Columbus stainless steel plant, 
and the purchase of the international mining assets (Billiton plc) of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. In 1997, Gencor Limited 
restructured  its  non-precious  metals  interests  as  Billiton  plc  and,  with  Mr  Gilbertson  as  Executive  Chairman,  Billiton 
plc raised US$1.5 billion in an initial public offering on the LSE, taking the company into the FTSE  100. Separately Mr 
Gilbertson worked to merge the gold operations of Gencor and Gold Fields of South Africa, creating Gold Fields Limited, 
a leader in the world gold mining industry. He served as its first Chairman until October 1998. In 2001, Billiton plc merged 
with  BHP  Limited  to  create  what  is  widely  regarded  as  the  world’s  premier  resources  company,  BHP  Billiton  plc.  Mr 
Gilbertson was appointed its second Chief Executive on 1 July 2002. 

In  late  2003,  Mr  Gilbertson  led  mining  group  Vedanta  Resources  plc  (Vedanta)  to  the  first  primary  listing  of  an  Indian 
company on the London Stock Exchange in the second largest IPO of the year (US$876 million). He served as Chairman 
of Vedanta until July 2004. 

He was appointed President of Sibirsko-Uralskaya Aluminium Company (SUAL), the smaller aluminium producer in Russia 
and led that company into the US$30 billion merger with RUSAL and the alumina assets of Glencore International A.G., 
creating the largest aluminium company in the world. He has not been a Director of any other ASX listed companies in the 
past three years.

Mr Gilbertson established Pallinghurst Advisors LLP and the Investment Manager during 2006 and 2007, respectively, to 
be the investment adviser and investment manager to a group of natural resource investors, which currently own 76% of 
Jupiter. Mr Gilbertson is a British and South African citizen.

REMUNERATION REPORT  (AUDITED)

This  report  details  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for  each  Director  of  Jupiter  Mines  Limited  and  for  the  Key 
Management Personnel.

Remuneration Policies and Practices

In  relation  to  remuneration  issues,  the  Board  has  established  policies  to  ensure  that  Jupiter  remunerates  fairly  and 
responsibly. The remuneration policy of the Board is designed to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration 
is competitive, reasonable and appropriate for the results delivered and to attract and maintain desirable Directors and 
employees.

The remuneration structures reward the achievement of strategic objectives to achieve the broader outcome of creation of 
value for shareholders. The Remuneration & Nomination Committee reviews and recommends to the Board on matters of 
remuneration policy and specific emolument recommendations in relation to senior management and Directors.

The Board of Jupiter Mines Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract 
and retain the best executives and Directors to run and manage the Consolidated Entity, as well as create goal congruence 
between Directors, executives and shareholders.

Non-Executive Director Remuneration

Fees

Non-Executive Director fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which are periodically approved 
by shareholders in general meeting. The current limit is $400,000.  During the year ended 30th June 2011, $274,798 of the 
fee pool was used.

Equity Participation

Non-Executive  Directors’  remuneration  may  be  by  way  of  a  fixed  annual  fee  which  is  supplemented  by  the  issue  of 
incentive options under the Jupiter Mines Limited Employee Option Plan and is subject to the approval of shareholders in 
a general meeting.  There were no options issued to Directors during the year.

Retirement Benefits

Non-Executive Directors do not receive retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation entitlements.

Other Key Management Personnel Remuneration

Other  Key  Management  Personnel  (including  Executive  Directors)  are  offered  a  base  salary,  which  is  reviewed  on  a 
periodic basis, having regard to market practices and the skills and experience of the Executive and is not linked to the 
performance of the Consolidated Entity in any way.

Other Key Management Personnel receive other benefits as part of their type of employment, which may include a mobile 
phone and laptop.

Selected Other Key Management Personnel are invited to participate in the Jupiter Mines Limited Employee Option Plan.  

There are no termination benefits payable to Other Key Management Personnel, other than payment of their statutory 
outstanding entitlements such as annual and long service leave.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED annual report 2011

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Relationship between Remuneration Policy and Jupiter’s Performance

Details of the Jupiter Mines Limited Employee Option Plan (Plan) and specific information on the performance conditions 
are set out below:

Description

Rationale

Options  are  offered  to  select  employees  and  Key 
Management Personnel of Jupiter.  Non-Executive 
Directors  are  entitled  to  participate  in  the  Option 
Plan as well.

Subject  to  the  achievement  of  service  conditions, 
options  may  vest  and  be  converted  into  ordinary 
Jupiter shares on a one-for-one basis.  An exercise 
price is payable upon the conversion of options.  

There are no voting or dividend rights attaching to 
the options until they are exercised by the employee, 
at  which  point  ordinary  shares  which  rank  equally 
with all other Jupiter shares are issued and quoted 
on the ASX. The options cannot be transferred and 
will not be quoted on the ASX.

All options expire on the earlier of their expiry date 
or termination of the individual’s employment.  

Anti-Hedging Policy

The  Option  Plan  is  designed  to  reward  and  retain 
Directors,  Key  Management  Personnel  and  select 
employees of Jupiter.

The  vesting  conditions  have  been  designed  to 
ensure  correlation  between  Jupiter’s  share  price 
performance and value delivered to shareholders.  

Only  when  the  share  price  increases  can  options 
vest  and  be  exercised;  share  price  increases  are 
one of the considerations of the consequences of 
Jupiter’s  performance  on  shareholder  wealth  for 
the  purposes  of  300A(1AB)  of  the  Corporations 
Act. The Plan therefore not only aligns the interests 
of  shareholders  and  participants  alike,  but  in  turn 
assists in increasing shareholder value. 

No Jupiter employee is permitted to enter into transactions with securities (or any derivative thereof) which 
limit the economic risk of any unvested entitlements awarded under any Jupiter equity-based remuneration 
scheme currently in operation or which will be offered by Jupiter in the future.

As  part  of  Jupiter’s  due  diligence  undertaken  at  the  time  of  half  and  full  year  results,  Jupiter’s  equity  plan 
participants are requested to confirm that they have not entered into any such prohibited transactions.

Continuous Improvement

Jupiter will continually review all elements of its remuneration philosophy to ensure that they are appropriate 
from the perspectives of governance, disclosure, reward and market conditions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter”) and it’s Controlled 
Entities (the “Consolidated Group” or “Group”).
The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Jupiter Mines Limited, have not been presented within this financial 
report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements were authorised and issued by the board of Directors on 29 September 2011.

Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have 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.  Material accounting policies adopted in the 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.

(a) 

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by   
Jupiter Mines Limited at the end of the reporting period.  A controlled entity is any entity over which Jupiter   
Mines Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its  
activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than 
half of the voting power of an entity.  In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of 
actual and potential voting rights are considered.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-Group balances and transactions between entities in 
the Consolidated Group have been eliminated on consolidation.  Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving 
entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that 
control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent 
liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a 
contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration 
classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent 
consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any 
change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All  transaction  costs  incurred  in  relation  to  the  business  combination  are  expensed  to  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income.
The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

(b) 

Interests in Joint Ventures
The Group acquired an interest in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining (Proprietary) Limited (“Tshipi”), a joint venture 
entity, during October 2010.  The Group’s accounting policy for joint ventures was considered by the Directors as 
part of the deliberation on the Tshipi acquisition, and had not been formally considered or articulated previously.
A  joint  venture  entity  is  an  entity  in  which  the  Group  owns  a  long-term  interest,  and  shares  joint  control  over 
strategic, financial and operating decisions with one or more other joint venturers. The Group have made the 
accounting policy choice to proportionately consolidate interests in joint ventures, rather than to equity account,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(c) 

as  they  believe  it  gives  more  useful  information  to  shareholders.  Proportionate  consolidation  combines  the 
Group’s share of the results of the joint venture entity, and the assets and liabilities of the joint venture entity, with 
similar items in the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position.

Income Tax
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 profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities 
(assets) are 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 unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax 
relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset 
or liability, 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 period when the 
asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management 
expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
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 legally 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) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax 
assets and liabilities relate 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) 

Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, 
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. 
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.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, 
borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the 
cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of 
comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

40

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the 
Consolidated Group 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

Office equipment

Furniture & fittings

Motor vehicles

Leasehold improvements

Buildings

Depreciation Rate

33.33%

7.50%

12.50%

20.00%

10.00%

(e) 

(f) 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
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 statement of comprehensive income. 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgment 
in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits are likely either from future exploitation or sale or 
where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. 
The  determination  of  a  Joint  Ore  Reserves  Committee  (JORC)  resource  is  itself  an  estimation  process  that 
requires varying degrees of uncertainty depending on sub-classification and these estimates directly impact the 
point of deferral of exploration and evaluation expenditure. The deferral policy requires management to make 
certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances, in particular whether an economically 
viable extraction operation can be established. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information 
becomes available. If, after expenditure is capitalised, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery 
of expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalised is written off the Statement of Comprehensive Income in profit 
or loss in the period when the new information becomes available.

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 is transferred to entities in the Consolidated Group, are classified as finance leases. 
Finance leases are capitalised by recognising 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 
recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. 
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

(g) 

Financial Assets
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  when  the  entity  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual 
provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself 
to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial  instruments  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus  transaction  costs,  except  where  the  instrument 
is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss 
immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Finance  instruments  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value,  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate 
method, or cost.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition 
less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the 
difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied 
to  determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length  transactions,  reference  to 
similar instruments and option pricing models.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and 
is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction 
costs  and  other  premiums  or  discounts)  through  the  expected  life  (or  when  this  cannot  be  reliably  predicted, 
the  contractual  term)  of  the  financial  instrument  to  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset  or  financial 
liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a 
consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject 
to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

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, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to 
avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Group of financial assets is managed 
by  key  management  personnel  on  a  fair  value  basis  in  accordance  with  a  documented  risk  management  or 
investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being 
included in profit or loss.

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.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after 
the end of the reporting period.

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 Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets where they are expected to mature within 12 
months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets.

Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified 
into  other  categories  of  financial  assets  due  to  their  nature,  or  they  are  designated  as  such  by  management. 
They  comprise  investments  in  the  equity  of  other  entities  where  there  is  neither  a  fixed  maturity  nor  fixed  or 
determinable payments.

They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (ie gains or losses) recognised in 
other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses). When the 
financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in current assets where they are expected to be sold within 12 
months after the end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as non-current assets.

Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Group 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 
the statement of comprehensive income.
Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Group  estimates  the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

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. 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. Those 
cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match 
the expected timing of cash flows.

Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for 
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, less credit card facilities used.  Bank overdrafts are 
shown as short-term borrowings in liabilities.

Trade and Other Receivables
Trade  receivables,  which  generally  have  30  day  terms,  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and  subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for impairment.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at an operating unit level.  Individual debts that 
are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there
is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable.

Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any 
trade discounts and volume rebates allowed.  Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance 
and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements.  The 
difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is 
the rate inherent in the instrument.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take 
a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until 
such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they 
are incurred.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)
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 Taxation Office (ATO).  
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of 
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of 
financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in 
receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are carried at cost and due to their short time nature they are not discounted.  They 
represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are 
unpaid and arise when Jupiter becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these 
goods and services.  The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Comparative Figures
When  required  by  Accounting  Standards,  comparative  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  conform  to  changes  in 
presentation for the current financial year.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The  Directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgments  incorporated  into  the  financial  report  based  on  historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events 
and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates — Impairment of non-financial assets
The  Group  assesses  impairment  at  each  reporting  date  by  evaluating  conditions  specific  to  the  Group  that 
may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is 
determined.

Key estimates — Options
The fair value of services received in return for options granted are measured by reference to the fair value of 
options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on the Black Scholes 
option-pricing model. The contractual life of the options is used as an input into the model. Expectations of early 
exercise are incorporated into the model as well.  Refer to note 23 for more details.
The  expected  volatility  is  based  on  the  historic  volatility  of  peer  Group  entities  (calculated  on  the  weighted 
average  remaining  life  of  the  share  options),  adjusted  for  any  expected  changes  to  volatility  due  to  publicly 
available information. Further information regarding assumptions are included in note 28.

Key judgements  — Exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in certain items of expenditure 
being capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or 
sale or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence 
of reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events 
and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any 

(n) 

(o) 

(p) 

(q) 

(r) 

44

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised 
the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant 
capitalised  amount  will  be  written  off  to  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income.    An  impairment  has  been 
recognised in respect of exploration expenditure at reporting date of $443,626. Refer to note 16 for more details.

Mineral Reserves and Resource Estimates 
Ore reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Group’s 
mining properties. The Group estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled 
by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body, 
and requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of recoverable reserves is based 
upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and 
production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of 
the ore body. Changes in the reserve or resource estimates may impact upon the carrying value of exploration 
and  evaluation  assets,  mine  properties,  property,  plant  and  equipment,  goodwill,  provision  for  rehabilitation, 
recognition of deferred tax assets, and depreciation and amortisation charges.

Share based payments
Under AASB 2 share based payments, the Company is required to determine the fair value of options issued 
to employees as remuneration and recognise as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income. This 
standard is not limited to options and also extends to other forms of equity-based remuneration.

Foreign Currency Translation 
(i)  

Functional and presentation currency 
The  functional  and  presentation  currency  of  Jupiter  and  its  subsidiaries  is  Australian  dollars  ($).  The  
presentation and functional currency for the interest in Tshipi is the South African Rand. The results are 
translated into Australian dollars for disclosure in Jupiter’s consolidated accounts. 
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated 
using the exchange rate as at the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a 
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 

(ii)  

Translation of interest in Joint Venture functional currency to presentation currency
 The  results  of  the  South  African  Joint  Venture  interest  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  an 
average rate over the period of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates 
prevailing at reporting dates. 
Exchange variations resulting from the translation of the net investments in Tshipi are taken to the foreign 
currency translation reserve.  

Adoption of New and Revised accounting standards and interpretations
During  the  current  year,  Jupiter  adopted  all  of  the  new  and  revised  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations  applicable  to  its  operations  which  became  mandatory.    The  adoption  of  these  standards  has 
impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions.  The adoption of these standards 
was applied for the entire reporting period unless otherwise stated.  The following is an explanation of the impact 
the  adoption  of  these  standards  and  interpretations  has  had  on  the  financial  statements  of  the  Consolidated 
Group.  

AASB 3 Business Combinations
AASB 3 (revised 2008) introduces significant changes in the accounting for business combinations.  Changes 
affect  the  valuation  of  non-controlling  interests  (previously  “minority  interest”),  the  accounting  for  transaction 
costs, the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of contingent consideration and business combinations 
achieved in stages.  These changes impact the amount of goodwill recognised, the report results for the period 
when the acquisition occurred and future reported results.  The change in AASB 3 will affect future acquisitions, 
change in, and loss of control of, subsidiaries and transactions with non-controlling interests.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
AASB  127  (revised  2008)  requires  that  a  change  in  the  ownership  interest  of  a  subsidiary  (without  a  change 
in  control)  is  to  be  accounted  for  as  a  transaction  with  owners  in  their  capacity  as  owners.    Therefore,  such 
transactions  will  no  longer  give  rise  to  goodwill,  nor  will  they  give  rise  to  a  gain  or  loss  in  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income.  The revised standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by a partially owned 
subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary.  The change in AASB 127 will affect future acquisitions, 
change in, and loss of control of, subsidiaries and transactions with non-controlling interests.

Annual Improvements Project
In May 2009 and June 2010 the AASB issued omnibus of amendments to its Standards as part of the Annual 
Improvements  Project,  primarily  with  a  view  to  removing  inconsistencies  and  clarifying  wording.    There  are 
separate  transactional  provisions  and  application  dates  for  each  amendment.    The  adoption  of  the  following 
amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but did not have any impact on the financial position or 
performance of the Group:

AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: clarifies that the disclosures required in 
respect of non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale of discontinued operations are only 
those set out in AASB 5.  The disclosure requirements of other Accounting Standards only apply if specifically 
required for such non-current assets or discontinued operations.

AASB  8  Operating  Segments:  clarifies  that  segment  assets  and  liabilities  need  only  be  reported  when  those 
assets and liabilities are included in measures that are used by the Company’s decision makers.  As the Groups 
decision makers review segment assets and liabilities, the Group has continued to disclose this information.

AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows: States that only expenditure that results in recognising an asset can be 
classified as a cash flow from investing activities.  

(v) 

New accounting standards and interpretations for Application in Future Periods
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 
2011 reporting periods and have not yet been applied in the financial report.  Jupiter’s assessment of the impact 
of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
In  November  2009,  the  AASB  issued  AASB  9  Financial  Instruments  which  addresses  the  classification  and 
measurement of financial assets and is likely to affect Jupiter’s accounting for its financial assets.  The standard 
is not applicable until 1 January 2013 and the Group is yet to assess its full impact and whether to adopt AASB 
9 in advance of 1 January 2013.

AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 
102, 108, 112, 118, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 139, 1023 and 1038)
This standard shall be applied when AASB 9 is applied, refer above.

AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures
The AASB issued AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures which simplifies the definition of a related party, clarifying 
its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies.  The standard is not likely to have a significant impact on 
the financial report.  The standard is applicable from 1 July 2011.

AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 
139, 1023 and 1031)
This amendment makes numerous editorial changes to a range of Australian Accounting Stands and Interpretation.  
The standard is not likely to have a significant impact on the financial report.  The standard is applicable from 1 

46

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

July 2011.

AASB 2010-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118, 119, 121, 
132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140, 1023 and 1038)
This amendment makes numerous editorial changes to a range of Australian Accounting Stands and Interpretation.  
The standard is not likely to have a significant impact on the financial report.  The standard is applicable from 1 
July 2011.

AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (AASBV1 and 7)
The amendment increases the disclosure requirement for transactions involving transfers of financial assets.  The 
standard is not likely to have a significant impact on the financial report.  The standard is applicable from 1 July 
2011.

AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 
102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 and 1038)
AASB 9 has been modified regarding the classification and measuring of financial liabilities.  The standard is not 
likely to have a significant impact on the financial report.  The standard is applicable from 1 July 2011.

AASB 2011-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence 
project (AASB 1, 5, 101, 107, 108, 121, 128, 132 and 134)
This  standard  amendment  removes  many  of  the  disclosing  obligations  which  have  been  transferred  to  AASB 
1054.  The standard is not likely to have a significant impact on the financial report.  The standard is applicable 
from 1 July 2011.

Joint Arrangements
This standard replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC 13 Jointly controlled entities – Non monetary 
Contributions by Ventures.  The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 and the Consolidated Group is 
yet to assess its full impact and whether to adopt in advance of 1 January 2013.

Fair Value Measurement
This standard examines the definitions and application of fair value measurements.  The standard is not applicable 
until 1 January 2013 and the Consolidated Group is yet to assess its full impact and whether to adopt in advance 
of 1 January 2013.

(w) 

Carbon Tax Scheme
On 10 July 2011, the Commonwealth Government announced the “Securing a Clean Energy Future – the Australian 
Government’s Climate Change Plan.”  Whilst the announcement provides further details of the framework for a 
carbon pricing mechanism, uncertainties continue to exist on the impact of any carbon pricing mechanism on 
Jupiter as legislation must be voted on and passed by both Houses of Parliament.  In addition, as Jupiter will 
not  fall  within  the  “Top  500  Australian  Polluters”,  the  impact  of  the  Carbon  Scheme  will  be  through  indirect 
effects of increased prices on many production inputs and general business expenses as suppliers subject to 
the carbon pricing mechanism are likely to pass on their carbon price burden to their customers in the form of 
increased prices.  The Board expects that this will not have a significant impact upon the operational costs within 
the business, and therefore will not have an impact upon the valuation of assets and/or going concern of the 
business.

Note 17: Acquisition of interest in Joint Venture

On  29  October  2010,  the  Group  completed  the  acquisition  of  49.9%  of  the  issued  capital  of  Tshipi,  a  company  with 
manganese projects in South Africa, for a purchase consideration of $246,134,689, giving the Group joint control. The 
vendors  of  the  49.9%  interest  in  Tshipi  were  the  Pallinghurst  Co-Investors,  share  a  single  investment  manager,  the 
Pallinghurst investment manager, which is chaired by Brian Gilbertson. Priyank Thapliyal is also a partner of the investment 
manager.

The vendors of Tshipi included Pallinghurst Resources Limited, which is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and 
Bermuda Stock Exchange.  Brian Gilbertson is the Chairman of Pallinghurst Resources Limited. A further vendor of Tshipi 
included a subsidiary of POSCO.  POSCO is a Korean corporation that is listed on the Republic of Korea, New York and 
Tokyo Stock Exchanges.  Mr Woo is the Managing Director of POSCO Australia (Pty) Ltd. 

Accordingly, the only Directors considered to be independent and able to vote on the acquisition were Paul Murray and 
Andrew Bell. The Notice of General Meeting as sent to shareholders on 6 July 2010 (in advance of the General Meeting 
held on 12 August 2010) noted that Paul Murray and Andrew Bell had both recommended that shareholders vote in favour 
of all the relevant resolutions to complete the acquisition.

The Pallinghurst Co-Investors had previously entered into a joint venture agreement with Ntsimbintle Mining (Pty) Limited, 
the owners of 50.1% of Tshipi.  The joint venture agreement governs Tshipi’s operating and financing policies, and the 
relationship between the joint venture partners. Jupiter Kalahari (Mauritius) Limited, a Jupiter subsidiary, has since become 
party to an updated similar joint venture agreement, and assumed similar rights and obligations in the partnership.

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

The  acquisition  of  Tshipi  is  part  of  the  Group’s  overall  strategy  to  expand  its  mineral  resource  projects  in  the  mining 
industry.    The  purchase  was  satisfied  by  the  issue  of  1,208,667,347  ordinary  shares  at  an  issue  price  of  $0.211  each 
and the payment of $255,027,602. The issue price of the new Jupiter shares was based on the 30 day volume weighted 
average sale price as at 1 March 2010 (the announcement date).

$15,675,217 (30 June 2010; Nil).  The Group has eliminated 49.9% of the loan made to Tshipi on consolidation;

50.1% of the joint venture not owned by the Group.   
Deferred tax liability on consolidation of $89,889,166 related to recognition of future tax payable on profits    
derived as a result of the mining operations at Tshipi.

Balances from ownership of 49.9% of Tshipi have been included in the consolidated reports of the Group at 30 June  2011. 

Acquisition-related  costs  are  included  within  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  totalling  $1,156,867.  The  costs

(d) Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain an appropriate debt to equity ratio, provide the 
shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going 
concern.
The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.
There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its 
capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management 
of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the 
prior year.

(e) Deferred shares

The deferred shares balance within equity refers to the 262,255,799 deferred shares which are to be issued to 
Investec Bank Limited in consideration for their interest in Tshipi, which was vended into Jupiter as part of the 
Tshipi Jupiter transaction referred to in Note 17 Acquisition of interest in Joint Venture. The terms of the transaction 
stated  that  Investec  would  only  be  issued  their  shares  in  Jupiter  after  the  twelve  month  warranties  period  has 
expired, with the number of shares to be issued determined on the basis of whether there is a warranty claim 
against Tshipi within twelve months.  The deferred shares are to be issued to Investec twelve months from the date 
of the issue of the shares relating to the transaction, being 8 November 2011.

The terms of this element of the transaction were disclosed more fully in the Notice of General Meeting as sent to 
shareholders on 6 July 2010, which detailed the terms of the acquisition of the 49.9% interest in Tshipi by Jupiter.  
The General Meeting was held on 12 August 2010 and all resolutions were passed.

Other  than  in  the  event  of  a  warranty  claim  against  Tshipi,  Investec  have  a  legal  entitlement  to  be  issued  full 
262,255,799  deferred  shares.    The  Directors  therefore  believe  that  the  economic  substance  of  this  part  of  the 
transaction  is  that  the  deferred  shares  should  be  treated  as  equity  (not  liabilities),  notwithstanding  the  legal 
arrangements, and the balance is disclosed within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.  The 
Directors believe it is very unlikely that any warranty claim will be made against Tshipi, either by 08 November 
2011, or after that date.

The property lease is non-cancellable for five-year, with rent payable monthly in advance.

The company has entered into a non-cancellable sub-lease arrangement which expires in November 2011.  The 
sub-lessee has assumed the make good commitments and the lease guarantee.  The total expected minimum lease 
payments to be received over the remainder of the lease is $42,472.

Exploration Expenditure Commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Company and Group are required to perform 
minimum exploration work to meet the requirements specified by various State governments. These obligations can be 
reduced by selective relinquishment of exploration tenure or application for expenditure exemptions. Due to the nature 
of the Company and Group’s operations in exploring and evaluating areas of interest, it is very difficult to forecast the 
nature and amount of future expenditure. It is anticipated that expenditure commitments for the next twelve months will be 
tenement rentals of $119,568 (2010: $129,119) and exploration expenditure of $19,425,775 (2010: $4,524,551) of which 
$4,425,775 relates to the Parent Company.

Note 25: Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Contingent Liabilities
The  parent  entity  has  provided  guarantees  to  third  parties  in  relation  to  the  performance  and  obligations  of  controlled 
entities in respect of banking facilities.  At reporting date, the value of these guarantees and facilities are $750,769 (2010: 
$170,000). Total utilised at reporting date was $8,129.

Contingent Assets
No contingent assets exist as at 30 June 2011 or 30 June 2010.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 26: Segment Reporting

The Group operates in the mining industry within Australia and South Africa.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief 
operating decision makers (the Board of Directors and key management) in assessing performance and determining the 
allocation of resources.

The Group  segments are structured primarily on  the basis of mineral  as Central Yilgarn Iron Project (Iron Ore) located 
in  Australia,  Tshipi  (Manganese)  which  is  located  in  South  Africa  and  Corporate/Unallocated.  Expenses  and  assets 
are allocated to segments based on the tenement to which they directly relate.  Information is not readily available for 
allocating the remaining items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, or these items are not considered part of the 
core operations of any segment.

Proportionate consolidation of associates results
Operating results and share of assets and liabilities are proportionately consolidated for the purposes of internal reporting 
whereas for the preparation of the financial statements they are equity accounted.

The options outstanding at 30 June 2011 have an exercise price of $0.28 a weighted average contractual life of 2.55 years.
During the financial year, 1,600,000 options were exercised (2010: 400,000). 
The fair value of services received in return for options granted is measured by reference to the fair value of options granted. 
The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The 
contractual life of the options is used as an input into the model. Expectations of early exercise are incorporated into the 
model as well.

The Directors monitor the Group’s financial risk management policies and exposures and approves financial transactions.  
The Directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising 
potential adverse effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of credit risk policies and future cash 
flow requirements.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The  main  risks  the  Group  is  exposed  to  through  its  financial  instruments  are  credit  risk,  liquidity  risk  and  market  risk 
consisting of interest rate risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk.

(a)

Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties 
of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit  risk  is  managed  through  the  maintenance  of  procedures  (such  procedures  include  the  utilisation  of 
systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such 
limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent 
possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is 
used in assessing receivables for impairment. 

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, 
or in entities that the Directors have otherwise cleared as being financially sound.  

75

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 31: Financial Instruments (cont’d)

Credit Risk Exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at reporting date, excluding the 
value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial 
assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position.  Credit risk also arises through 
the provision of financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to parties securing the liabilities of certain 
subsidiaries (refer Note 25 for details).
Trade  and  other  receivables  that  are  neither  past  due  or  impaired  are  considered  to  be  of  high  credit  quality.  
Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 10.  
There are no amounts of collateral held as security in respect of trade and other receivables.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under 
financial instruments entered into by the Consolidated Group.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by investing cash with major 
financial institutions in both cash on deposit and term deposit accounts.  Interest rates on major deposits that are 
re-invested, are at a fixed rate on a monthly basis.

(b)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise 
meeting  its  obligations  related  to  financial  liabilities.    The  Group  manages  this  risk  through  the  following 
mechanisms:

preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;

obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

•	
•	 monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
•	
•	 maintaining a reputable credit profile;
•	 managing credit risk related to financial assets;
•	

only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and comparing the maturity profile of financial 
liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

The Group has no significant exposure to liquidity risk due to the level of cash and cash equivalents detailed at 
Note 9. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring immediate and forecast cash requirements and ensuring 
adequate cash reserves are maintained.

The  tables  below  reflect  an  undiscounted  contractual  maturity  analysis  for  financial  liabilities.    Cash  flows 
realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may 
therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities 
reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates.

Note 31: Financial Instruments (cont’d)

(c)

(i)

Market Risk
Market risk arises from the Groups use of interest bearing and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk 
that the fair value of future cash flows of a of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest 
rates (interest rate risk), foreign exchange (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk).

Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting 
period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial 
instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk is detailed below:

The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.

(ii)

Foreign exchange risk
Jupiter operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures 
primarily with respect to the Australian Dollar and South African Rand. Jupiter’s exposure to currency risk is on 
cash, trade receivables, and borrowings. 

78

 
annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

Foreign currency risk is the risk of exposure to transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the 
Australian  dollar.  The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Group’s  financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  denominated  in  two 
different currencies as set out below:

(iii) Other Price Risk

Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because 
of changes in market prices largely due to demand and supply factors for commodities.
As the Group does not derive revenue from sale of products, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes 
in the price risk is not considered material.  The fair value of the mining projects will be impacted by commodity 
price changes (predominantly iron ore, nickel and uranium) and could impact future revenues once operational.  
However, management monitors current and projected commodity prices.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30TH JUNE 2011

Note 31: Financial Instruments (cont’d)

(d) Net Fair Value 

The net fair values of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities 
approximates  their  carrying  value.    The  net  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  is  based  upon 
market prices where a market exists or by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current interest rates 
for assets and liabilities with similar risk profiles.
Listed equity investments have been valued by reference to market prices prevailing at reporting date.

The fair values in the above table have been determined based on the following methodology:

(i) Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are short-term investments 
in nature whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value. Trade and other payables exclude amounts provided for 
annual leave which is not considered a financial instrument

(ii) For listed available-for-sale financial assets, closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period are used. 
Unlisted available-for-sale financial assets are recorded at cost.

annual report 2011 JUPITER MINES LIMITED

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and 
classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. 
The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

— quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
— inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either                  

directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and 

— inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
