Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

The financial year ending 30 June 2012 has seen significant progress in its major projects, and I am pleased 

to present the review of activities.

The past year saw significant activity across the Company’s major projects, with construction well advanced 

on the Tshipi Manganese Project, and the work streams progressing well on the Central Yilgarn Iron Projects’ 

Feasibility Studies.

Throughout  the  course  of  the  year  there  were  a  number  of  Board  and  Management  changes.  In  March 

2012 Mr Sun Moon Woo resigned as a Non-Executive Director of Jupiter following his decision to retire as 

Managing Director of POSCO Australia, Jupiter’s largest shareholder. Mr Soo-Cheol Shin, the new Managing 

Director  of  POSCO  Australia  was  then  welcomed  to  the  Jupiter  Board  as  a  Non-Executive  Director,  and 

we  look  forward  to  his  involvement  in  the  Company’s  future  growth.  The  Board  thanks  Mr  Woo  for  his 

contribution to the Company and being a very large part of building the strong relationship with POSCO.

In June 2012 Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Richard Mehan, gave notice of his resignation, 

the Board also thanks Mr Mehan for his contribution. Mr Greg Durack, the Chief Operating Officer of Jupiter 

was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer.

In November 2011, Jupiter’s 49.9% owned joint venture Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining (Pty) Ltd appointed 

Mr Finn Behnken as Chief Executive Officer and Mr Brendan Robinson as Chief Financial Officer.

In  respect  to  progress  on  the  Company’s  major  projects,  a  ground  breaking  ceremony  for  the  Tshipi 

Borwa Project was conducted in September 2011, and was attended by local politicians and community 

representatives. The construction and mining pre-strip is proceeding to plan and budget, and first manganese 

production is expected in the December quarter of 2012. The Tshipi Project, once reaching a steady state 

production rate, should be a lowest quartile producer for many years to come.

In the Central Yilgarn on the Mt Mason DSO Hematite Project, a resource upgrade was announced in January 

2012 to 5.90mt at 60.1% Fe, with work continuing on optimisation of the feasibility study and securing a Port 

solution.

The Mt Ida Magnetite Project feasibility study work streams are proceeding well with delivery of the feasibility 

study expected in June 2013. The drilling program at Mt Ida was completed in June 2012, and to date 465 

holes  totalling  99,308  metres  of  RC  and  diamond  drilling  have  been  invested  in  the  Project.  On  the  4th 

of  September  2012,  the  Company  announced  a  significant  resource  increase  and  upgrade  to  indicated 

category (86%) of the Central Zone to 1.23 billion tonnes at 29.79% Fe, a 132 per cent increase over the 

maiden  inferred  resource,  530  million  tonnes  at  31.94%  Fe,  announced  in  early  2011.  The  Northern  and 

Southern Zones were also drill tested, and will also increase the overall resource; the modelling is expected 

to be completed in December 2012.

On 19 July 2012 the Company announced that it would source up to approximately $125 million through 

capital raising to support the development of its manganese and iron ore assets in South Africa and Australia, 

which was completed in two tranches. Firstly, a $40 million private placement was made to Netherlands-

based institutional investor Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP. In addition, Jupiter undertook a rights issue on 

a  5  for  19  basis,  and  the  total  of  $36  million  was  raised  and  225,001,339  shares  placed.  The  remaining 
316,271,853 shortfall shares may be placed within 3 months of the closing date of the offer.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 2012

Chairman’s Letter

For Mt Ida and Mt Mason to be developed, access to Port infrastructure is of great importance, and so the 

Western Australian Government’s announcement in early 2012, that Esperance was to be the preferred port 

for iron ore expansion for the Yilgarn, was welcome news. Jupiter will fully participate in the process outlined 

by the Port, and where possible look for opportunities to drive and expedite an outcome.

The past year has been a very busy one for Jupiter, and the year ahead will see further progress, at Tshipi and 

the Central Yilgarn, as we grow the Steel Feed Corporation strategy.

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.

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

TSHIPI KALAHARI MANGANESE PROJECT 

Jupiter has a 49.9% interest in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining (Tshipi). Tshipi owns two manganese projects in the 
Kalahari Manganese fields, namely Tshipi Borwa and Tshipi Bokone, adjacent to the operating Mamatwan and Wessels 
mines respectively. 

Tshipi’s flagship project, Tshipi Borwa, is presently being developed as a new standalone open-pit manganese mine. 
Tshipi  Borwa  is  located  in  the  Southern  portion  of  the  Kalahari  Manganese  Field,  the  largest  manganese  bearing 
geological formation in the world.

Figure 1. Tshipi Kalahari Manganese Project Location Map

Tshipi Borwa will mine the ore body that is contiguous to, and a direct extension of, the Mamatwan ore body which has 
been mined for over 46 years. As such the Tshipi Borwa Mine is expected to produce a comparable product that has 
been tried and tested in the global manganese markets.

TSHIPI BORWA

Significant progress on the development of Tshipi Borwa has been made during the year; the project remains on target 
for first ore delivery during the 2nd half of 2012.

Review Of Operations

On 14 September 2011, Tshipi held a ground breaking ceremony for the Tshipi Borwa Mine. The ceremony was attended 
by local politicians and community representatives and created significant goodwill and expectation among the local 
stakeholders. It is anticipated that the mining operations will employ approximately 400 people. In addition, numerous 
other jobs will be created from associated services and business opportunities which will be specifically aimed at local 
development in the Northern Cape, South Africa’s most impoverished province.

In  late  October  Tshipi  awarded  the  final  major  construction  contract  for  Tshipi  Borwa,  being  the  Opening  Pit  Mining 
Contract. This was awarded to Aveng Moolmans (ASX announcement 31 October 2011), one of Africa’s largest open pit 
mining contractors, for 54 months. Site mobilisation commenced shortly after the appointment. 

During  November  Tshipi  appointed  Finn  Behnken  and  Brendan  Robinson  as  CEO  and  CFO  respectively  (ASX 
announcement 10 November 2011).

Pre-strip mining, which has started in late November 2011, progressed to a pit depth of over 40 meters by 30 June 2012. 
It is anticipated first ore will be reached within another 30 meters. 

Figure 4. Tshipi Borwa – Blast Hole Drilling in Progress             Figure 5. Tshipi Borwa – Pit Taking Shape

Construction for the mine progressed well during the year, with several of the major mine components including the rail 
siding and load out station due for commissioning during the 3rd quarter of 2012.  The process plant foundation and 
structure preparation are well advanced, and concrete works have commenced. The staff housing and offices have been 
completed.

Review Of Operations

Good progress was made during the year with Transnet, the national rail logistics provider. Rail contract negotiations 
between Tshipi and Transnet commenced in May of 2012, and formal contracts to secure rail allocation to Port Elizabeth 
are expected to be signed during the 3rd quarter of 2012.   

                Figure 8. Tshipi Borwa – Rail Tamping 

                          Figure 9. Tshipi Borwa – Rail Loop Aerial

The capital budget for the construction of Tshipi Borwa remains in line with forecasts. Total expenditure for the year has 
been approximately R555 million ($66 million) while a further R1.1 billion ($130 million) has been committed. Jupiter has 
contributed its pro-rate share of 49.9% of the amounts listed above. 

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.  

TSHIPI BOKONE 

Exploration activities at Tshipi Bokone have temporarily put on hold as Tshipi management focus their attention at bringing 
Tshipi Borwa on line. It is anticipated activities at Bokone will restart during 2013.

CENTRAL YILGARN IRON PROJECTS 
Mount Ida and Mount Mason

The Central Yilgarn Iron Project (“CYIP”) area is located 130km by road northwest of the town of Menzies. The CYIP 
consists of one smaller DSO project – Mount Mason DSO Hematite Project, and the flagship long life magnetite Project 
– Mount Ida Magnetite Project 

Both projects plan to leverage off existing infrastructure in the region including the Leonora to Esperance railway line, 
and the Port of Esperance.

Review Of Operations

MOUNT IDA MAGNETITE PROJECT 

The flagship Mount Ida Magnetite Project has the potential to be a tier one magnetite mine with substantially long mine 
life, creating significant positive cash flows, and further establishing Jupiter in the Central Yilgarn region.

Jupiter undertook, and has significantly progressed, the Mount Ida Feasibility Study during the year (ASX announcement 
27 June 2011). The feasibility study is based on annual production of 10 million tonnes of magnetite concentrate grading 
+68% per cent Fe. It is proposed that the concentrate will be transported along the existing railway from Menzies to the 
Port of Esperance on Western Australia’s south coast. 

During  the  year,  Mount  Ida’s  infill  drill  programme  was  completed.  It  comprised  of  202  RC  and  diamond  holes,  for  a 
total of 67,357 meters. The data from this infill programme, combined with existing data will enable a re-estimation and 
upgrade in the confidence of the previously released Mount Ida Central Zone Inferred Resource estimate of 530 million 
tonnes @ 31.94%Fe (ASX announcement 19 January 2011), the results of which are due for release during the 3rd quarter 
of 2012.  

Figure 11. Mount Ida – Drill Core

Jupiter also completed an additional 43 RC drill holes for a total of 12,646 meters, along a further 4kms of strike to test the 
continuity of the northern and southern extensions to the Mount Ida Central lodes. Geological modelling has commenced 
over  these  areas  and  resource  modelling  will  be  undertaken  following  the  completion  of  the  Mount  Ida  Central  Zone 
resource re-estimate. This modelling will enable a maiden Inferred Resource estimate to be completed over an additional 
4km strike length of the Mount Ida BIF.

The metallurgical test work program of the Feasibility Study is well advanced; high pressure grinding roles (HPGR) test 
work  has  been  completed  with  the  ore  demonstrating  a  consistent  response  to  the  HPGR  process.  Significant  size 
reduction at low energy consumption has been achieved. Pilot plant test work commenced during June 2012, and all the 
test work programs for the Feasibility Study are scheduled to be completed during the September quarter. 

Process flow sheet and layouts have been finalised, with process plant capital estimation well advanced. Mine layout, 
including  waste  dumps,  tailings  management  facility,  process  plant  and  supporting  infrastructure  are  all  undergoing 
optimisation. 

Infrastructure service providers for the gas lateral pipeline and power station have been identified and commissioned to 
undertake the key components of the Feasibility Study. Planning is in process to undertake the geotechnical sampling for 
the key infrastructure sites, and to commence the water exploration drill program.

Initial baseline environmental and heritage surveys were conducted in preparation for the Mount Ida project approvals 
processes, as required under Western Australian mining and environmental approvals legislation.

Flora, fauna and indigenous heritage surveys were completed for the mine pit development areas, and will be similarly 
refined and updated as the Mount Ida project infrastructure layout and associated service corridors for water, gas, road 
and rail are identified, assessed and finalised.

The Mt Ida project will be referred to the Commonwealth Government for assessment under the Environmental Protection 
and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and during 2013 it will be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority of 
Western Australia (EPA) to determine the level of assessment under the requirements of the Environmental Protection 
Act 1986. 

The operational focus for the remainder of 2012 will be on completion of the Feasibility Study work streams.

MOUNT MASON DSO HEMATITE PROJECT 

The Mount Mason DSO Hematite Project has the potential to be a near term, low CAPEX project with a short payback 
period and strong positive cash flows. 

A resource infill drilling programme was completed during July 2011, the results of which were included in an updated

In January 2012 the State Government announced that the Port of Esperance is to be expanded to cater for additional 
iron ore exports. The government has committed to increasing the export capacity by an additional 20 million tonne per 
annum (mtpa), and will seek private industry backing for the project.

The Port commenced the ‘market sounding’ process, in which Jupiter will fully participate. Jupiter intends to be active in 
progressing the Port expansion, not only for Mount Mason but ultimately for Mount Ida.

Baseline  environmental  and  heritage  surveys  were  conducted  in  preparation  for  the  Mount  Mason  project  approvals 
processes as required under Western Australian mining and environmental approvals legislation.

Surveys  were  completed  for  flora,  fauna  and  indigenous  heritage  and  will  be  refined  and  updated  as  the  project 
infrastructure layout and the project impact footprint is finalised.

Figure 15. Mount Mason – Outcrop

Exploration drill hole rehabilitation was completed for all drilling inclusive of 2011/12 in accordance with Department of 
Mines and Petroleum (DMP) guidelines.  A subsequent internal environmental audit was also conducted which resulted in 
no known non-compliances with required rehabilitation standards. 

During 2013, the Mt Mason project will undergo assessment as a Mining Proposal through the DMP, and will be referred 
to the Commonwealth Government for assessment under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation 
Act 1999.

The focus for the remainder of 2012 will be on Feasibility Study optimisation and securing a port solution. 

NON-CORE PROJECTS

With Jupiter focused on delivering its SFC Strategy, minimal activity was undertaken on its non-core assets including 
gold, base projects during the period.  

Widgiemooltha Nickel Project was divested in early 2012. The Klondyke Gold Project is currently in the process of being 
divested.

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value

2.1

A majority of the Board 
should be independent 
Directors

No

composition of the Board and details of Directors

Jupiter currently has five Directors at the date of this Annual Report.  
Mr  Brian  Gilbertson  held  the  position  of  Non-Executive  Chairman. 
Mr Paul Murray and Mr Andrew Bell held the position of independent 
Non-Executive Directors.  The remaining Directors being Mr Priyank 
Thapliyal and Mr Soo-Cheol Shin are Non-Executive Directors.

The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors 
and the external perspective and advice that Non-Executive Directors 
can offer. 

Determination  of  the  independence  of  Directors  is  made  with 
reference to the ASX Principles and Recommendations’ relationships 
that affect independence and considers whether the non-executive 
director:

a. 

is  a  substantial  shareholder  (within  the  definition  of  the 
Corporations Act) of the Company, or an officer of, or otherwise 
associated  directly  with,  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the 
Company;

b.  has, within the last three years, been employed in an executive 

capacity by the Company or any other Group company;

c.  has,  within  the  last  three  years,  been  a  principal  of  a  material 
professional  adviser  or  a  material  consultant  to  the  Company 
or an employee materially associated with the service provided.  
In  this  context,  the  relationship  with  the  professional  adviser 
or consultant shall be deemed to be material if payments from 
the  Company  exceed  $250,000  of  the  Company’s  annual 
expenditure  to  all  professionals  and  consultants  or  exceed 
$250,000  of  the  recipient’s  annual  revenue  for  advisory  or 
consultancy services;

d. 

is a material supplier or customer of the Company, or an officer 
of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with, a material 
supplier  or  customer.  In  this  context,  the  relationship  with  the 
supplier or customer shall be deemed to be material if annual 
payments to or from that supplier or customer exceed $250,000 
of the annual consolidated gross revenue of either Jupiter or of 
that supplier or customer;

e.  has any material contractual relationship with Jupiter other than 

as a director; or

f. 

is free from any interest and any business or other relationship 
which  could,  or  could  reasonably  be  perceived  to,  materially 
interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of 
Jupiter.

Paul  Murray  and  Andrew  Bell  are  independent  Non-Executive 
Directors.  However,  the  Board  was  not  comprised  of  a  majority 
of  independent  Directors  throughout  the  2012  year  and  as  at  the 
date  of  this  Annual  Report.  The  Chairman,  Mr  Brian  Gilbertson  is 
not  independent  as  he  is  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  also  not  independent.  Mr  Soo-Cheol  Shin  is 
directly associated with POSCO Australia Pty Ltd, also a substantial 
shareholder of Jupiter and therefore not independent.  The Company 
believes this Board structure is the most appropriate given the stage 
of development of the Company.

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.

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 breaches of the Code. These stakeholders include 
employees, clients, customers, government authorities, creditors and 
the community as whole. This Code governs all Jupiter’s commercial 
operations  and  the  conduct  of  Directors,  employees,  consultants, 
contactors 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 Company’s website.  

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.  

Directors,  senior  executives  and  any  personnel  in  possession  of 
information  relating  to  Jupiter  that  is  not  generally  available,  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.

The  Company  has  implemented  a  Diversity  Policy  which  can  be 
viewed on its website.  The Diversity Policy is a commitment by the 
Company to actively seek to maintain a diverse workforce to create 
a  workplace  that  is  fair  and  inclusive,  applies  fair  and  equitable 
employment practices and provides a working environment that will 
allow all employees to reach their full potential.

Jupiter is of the view that any measurable statistical objectives on a 
diverse workforce must be fit for purpose, in line with the Company 
strategic objectives and ensure the Company is in compliance with 
all relevant legislative requirements.

At  the  date  of  this  report,  the  Company  is  of  the  opinion  that  it  is 
in compliance with all equal employment opportunity and diversity 
legislative requirements.

3.4

Disclose in each annual 
report the proportion of 
women employees in 
the whole organisation, 
women in senior executive 
positions and women on 
the Board

Yes

Due to the size and scale of operations of the Company, the Board 
has  determined  that  a  long  term  gender  diversity  objective  is  more 
appropriate.

At the date of this report, 0% of Board, 41% of employees and 0% 
of senior executives are women.  The company will look to increase 
gender diversity at a Board and senior executive level in future years 
as  the  Company  aims  to  progress  from  exploration  to  construction 
and ultimately production.

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 option 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

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 objectives and 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.

Directors  and  senior  executives  are  not  permitted  to  enter  into 
transactions  with  securities  (or  any  derivative  thereof)  which  limit 
the economic risk of any unvested entitlements awarded under any 
equity-based remuneration scheme currently in operation or which 
will  be  offered  by  the  Company  in  the  future.  However,  Directors 
and  senior  executives  will  consult  with  the  Chairman  if  they  are 
considering,  or  if  they  are  not  sure,  as  to  whether  entering  into 
transactions  may  limit  the  economic  risk  of  unvested  entitlements 
they may have.

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

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.  

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 69% of

Contracts with Directors

There are no agreements with any of the Directors apart from Richard Mehan please refer to the remuneration report for 
further details.

Indemnification and Insurance of Officers and Auditors 

Since  the  end  of  the  previous  financial  year,  Jupiter  has  paid  premiums  to  insure  the  Directors  and  Officers  of  the 
Consolidated  Entity.    Details  of  the  nature  of  the  liabilities  covered  and  the  amount  of  premium  paid  in  respect  of 
Directors’ and Officers’ insurance policies preclude disclosure to third parties.

Jupiter has not paid any premiums in respect of any contract insuring its auditor against a liability incurred in that role 
as an auditor of Jupiter. In respect of non-audit services, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, Jupiter’s auditor has the benefit 
of an indemnity to the extent Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd reasonably relies on information provided by Jupiter which 
is false, misleading or incomplete. No amount has been paid under this indemnity during the financial year ending 30th 
June 2012 or to the date of this Report. 

Non-Audit Services 

The Board of Directors is satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year is compatible with the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.  The Directors are satisfied that 
the services disclosed below did not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons:

• 

• 

all non-audit services are reviewed and approved by the audit committee prior to commencement to ensure they do 
not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

the nature of the services provided does not compromise the general principles relating to auditor independence in 
accordance with APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants set by the Accounting Professional and 
Ethical Standards Board.

The following fees were paid or payable to Grant Thornton Australia Limited for non-audit services provided during the 
year ended 30th June 2012:

which Jupiter is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of Jupiter for all or any part of those proceedings. 
Jupiter was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

The Consolidated Entity was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.

Directors’ Report

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 2012, $105,417 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 services leave.

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. 

The service conditions pertaining to these options involve 
the  Key  Management  Personnel  remaining  employed  by 
the Group. 

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. 

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. 

Anti-Hedging Policy

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.

Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

In  considering  the  Group’s  performance  and  benefits  for  shareholder  wealth,  the  Board  have  regard  to  the  following 
indices in respect of the current financial year and the previous four financial years:

Notes to the Financial Statements

For tHe YeAr eNDeD 30 JUNe 2012

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 21 September 2012.

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.

Jupiter Mines Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

(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.

(b)     interests in Joint Ventures

The Group acquired an interest in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining (Proprietary) Limited (“Tshipi”), a joint venture 
entity, in 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, 
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.

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.

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

33.33%

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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. 

(e)

exploration and evaluation expenditure

(f)

(g)

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 in the Statement of Comprehensive Income 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. 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i)    Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial  assets  are  classified  at  “fair  value  through  profit  or  loss”  when  they  are  held  for  trading  for  the 
purpose of short-term profit taking, 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.

(ii)    Loans and receivables

Loans  and  receivables  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not 
quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

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

(iii)   Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  have  fixed  maturities  and  fixed 
or  determinable  payments,  and  it  is  the  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.

(iv)  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.

(v)   Financial liabilities

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

impairment of Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset 
has been impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there 
is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which 
has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).

In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets,  a  significant  or  prolonged  decline  in  the  market  value  of 
the  instrument  is  considered  to  constitute  a  loss  event.  Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is 
reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or 
a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal 
payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears 
or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account 
is  used  to  reduce  the  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  impaired  by  credit  losses.  After  having  taken  all 
possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by 
any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount 
of  impaired  financial  assets  is  reduced  directly  if  no  impairment  amount  was  previously  recognised  in  the 
allowance account.

When  the  terms  of  the  financial  assets  that  would  otherwise  have  been  past  due  or  impaired  have  been 
renegotiated, the group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original 
terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events have occurred are duly considered.

Note 1: summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(h)

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.

(i)

(j)

(k)

(l)

(m) 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).

(n)

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.

(o)

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.

(q)

(r)

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 28 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  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 $102,475. 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.

(s)

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.

(t)

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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.  

(u)

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.    These  new  pronouncements  have  had  no 
significant impact on the group for this reporting period.  

Adoption of AAsBs and improvements to AAsBs 2011 – AAsB 1054 and AAsB 2011-1

The  AASB  has  issued  AASB  1054  Australian  Additional  Disclosures  and  2011-1  Amendments  to  Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project, and made several minor amendments 
to a number of AASBs. These standards eliminate a large portion of the differences between the Australian and 
New Zealand accounting standards and IFRS and retain only additional disclosures considered necessary. These 
changes also simplify some current disclosures for Australian entities and remove others.

(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 
2012 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

AASB  9  introduces  new  requirements  for  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities. 
These  requirements  improve  and  simplify  the  approach  for  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets 
compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are:

a.  Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business 

model for managing the financial assets; and (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. 

b.  Allows  an  irrevocable  election  on  initial  recognition  to  present  gains  and  losses  on  investments  in  equity 
instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss). Dividends 
in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is 
no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. 

c.  Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if 
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from 
measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases. 

d.  Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as 

follows: 

• 

• 

The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income (OCI); and

The remaining change is presented in profit or loss. 

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in 
credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. 

Otherwise, the following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 into AASB 
9:

•  Classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and

•  Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities.

Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-
11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and AASB 2010-10. 

AAsB 10 consolidated Financial statements

AASB 10 establishes a revised control model that applies to all entities. It replaces the consolidation requirements 
in  AASB  127  Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements  and  AASB  Interpretation  112  Consolidation  – 
Special Purpose Entities.

The revised control model broadens the situations when an entity is considered to be controlled by another entity 
and includes additional guidance for applying the model to specific situations, including when acting as an   agent 
may give control, the impact of potential voting rights and when holding less than a majority voting rights may give 
‘de facto’ control. This will have an impact on Jupiter as a consolidated entity. 

50

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 2012

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

AAsB 11 Joint Arrangements

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131 Interests in   Joint Ventures and AASB Interpretation 113 Jointly- controlled Entities – 
Non-monetary Contributions by Ventures. AASB 11 uses the principle of control in AASB 10 to define joint control, 
and  therefore  the  determination  of  whether  joint  control  exists  may  change.  In  addition,  AASB  11  removes  the 
option to account for jointly-controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for 
a joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. Joint 
operations that give the venturers a right to the underlying assets and obligations themselves are accounted for by 
recognising the share of those assets and liabilities. Joint ventures that give the venturers a right to the net assets 
are accounted for using the equity method. This will result in a change in the accounting for the joint arrangements 
held by the group.

AAsB 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities

AASB  12  includes  all  disclosures  relating  to  an  entity’s  interests  in  subsidiaries,  joint  arrangements,  associates 
and  structures  entities.  New  disclosures  introduced  by  AASB  12  include  disclosures  about  the  judgements 
made  by  management  to  determine  whether  control  exists,  and  to  require  summarised  information  about  joint 
arrangements, associates and structured entities and subsidiaries with non-controlling interests. This will result in 
further disclosures being made by the group.

AAsB 13 Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 
does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair 
value when fair value is required or permitted by other Standards. Application of this definition may result in different 
fair values being determined for the relevant assets.

AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes 
information  about  the  assumptions  made  and  the  qualitative  impact  of  those  assumptions  on  the  fair  value 
determined.

AsB 127 separate Financial statements

As a result of the issuance of AASB 10, AASB 127 has been restructured and reissued to only deal with separate 
financial statements. This may not have an impact on the group.

AAsB 128 investment in Associates and Joint Ventures

Once an entity (using AASB 11) has determined that it has an interest in a joint venture, it accounts for it using the 
equity method in accordance with AASB 128 (Revised). The mechanics of equity accounting set out in the revised 
version of AASB 128 remain the same as in the previous version.

AAsB 1053 Application of tiers of Australian Accounting standards 

This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements 
for preparing general purpose financial statements: 

a.  Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and

b.  Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements. 

Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially reduced 
disclosures corresponding to those requirements. 

The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements: 

a. 

for-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability; and 

b. 

the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments. 

The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements: 

a. 

for-profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability;

b.  all not-for-profit private sector entities; and 

c.  public sector entities other than the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments. 

Consequential amendments to other standards to implement the regime were introduced by AASB 2010-2. 

These  amendments  address  the  determination  of  deferred  tax  on  investment  property  measured  at  fair  value 
and introduce a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value should 
be  determined  on  the  basis  that  the  carrying  amount  will  be  recoverable  through  sale.  The  amendments  also 
incorporate AASB Interpretation 121 Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into AASB 
112.

Assets

These  amendments  address  the  determination  of  deferred  tax  on  investment  property  measured  at  fair  value 
and introduce a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value should 
be  determined  on  the  basis  that  the  carrying  amount  will  be  recoverable  through  sale.  The  amendments  also 
incorporate AASB Interpretation 121 Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into AASB 
112. This may not have an impact on the group, dependent upon any possible property transactions undertaken.

AAsB  2011-4  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  standards  to  remove  individual  Key  Management 
Personnel Disclosure requirements

The Standard deletes from AASB 124   individual key management personnel disclosure requirements for disclosing 
entities that are not companies. 

AAsB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from the consolidation and Joint 
Arrangements standards 

This  Standard  makes  consequential  amendments  to  various  Australian  Accounting  Standards  arising  from  the 
issuance of AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 12, AASB 127 (August 2011) and AASB 128 (August 2011).

AAsB  2011-9  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  standards  –  Presentation  of  other  comprehensive 
income

Amendments to group items presented in other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they are potentially 
reclassifiable to profit or loss in subsequent periods (reclassification adjustments, e.g. foreign currency translation 
reserves) and those that cannot subsequently be reclassified (e.g. fixed asset revaluation surpluses).

Name changes of statements in AASB 101 as follows:

•  One  statement  of  comprehensive  income  –  to  be  referred  to  as  ‘statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 

comprehensive income’

• 

Two statements – to be referred to as ‘statement of profit or loss’ and ‘statement of comprehensive income’.

The group will rename the financial statements as required.

AAsB 2012-2 Amendments to  Australian Accounting standards – Disclosures – offsetting Financial Assets 
and Financial Liabilities

This  Standard  amends  the  required  disclosures  in  AASB  7  to  include  information  that  will  enable  users  of  an 
entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of 
set-off associated with the entity’s recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity’s 
financial position.

This Standard also amends AASB 132 to refer to the additional disclosures added to AASB 7 by this Standard . The 
group will be able to adopt this amendment to offset their financial assets and liabilities.

AAsB 2012-3 Amendments to  Australian Accounting standards – offsetting Financial Assets and Financial 
Liabilities

This Standard adds application guidance to AASB 132 to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of 
the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of 
set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement.

AAsB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from Annual improvements 2009–
2011 cycle

These amendments are a consequence of the annual improvements process, which provides a vehicle for making 
non-urgent but necessary amendments to Standards.

These  amendments  follow  the  issuance  of  Annual  Improvements  to  IFRSs  2009–2011  Cycle  issued  by  the 
International Accounting Standards Board in May 2012.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 2012

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: summary of significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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.

(x) Mining reserve

Mining reserve incurred by or on behalf of the group is accumulated separately for each area of interest in which 
economically recoverable resources have been identified. Such expenditure comprises cost directly attributable to 
the construction of a mine and the related infrastructure.

Once a development decision has been taken, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation expenditure 
in respect of the area of interest is aggregated with the mining reserve and classified under non-current assets as 
“mining reserve”.

A mining reserve is reclassified as a “mining property” at the end of the commissioning phase, when the mine is 
capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

No depreciation is recognised in respect of mining reserve until they are reclassified as “mining properties”. 

Mining reserves are tested for impairment in accordance with the policy in note 1 (h).

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.

Note 23: capital and Leasing commitments (continued)

NOTE:

(a)

This is made of up two leases: non-cancellable lease of 5 years however it can be subleased (with prior consent 
of  Lessor).    Amounts  include  rent,  outgoings  and  parking  with  4%  annual  rent  review  increase.    It  does  not 
take into account reduced guarantees or returned deposits or incentives.  Figures based on 12 Months (1-Jul-
12 to 30-Jun-13) and between 12 Months and 4 Years (1-Jul-13 to 30-May-16 which is the end of the lease); 
non-cancellable lease of 4 years & 4 months.  Amounts include rent and outgoings with 4% annual rent review 
increase.  It does not take into account reduced guarantees or returned deposits or incentives.  Figures based 
on 12 Months (1-Jul-12 to 30-Jun-13) and Between 12 Months and 4 Years (1-Jul-13 to 30-Jun-16 which is the 
end of the lease). The expense recognised for the operating lease was $510,597 (2011: $344,037).

(b)

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

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 $289,121 (2011: $119,568) and exploration expenditure of $87,839,133 (2011: $19,425,775) of 
which $22,505,562 relates to the Parent Company.

Note 24: 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 $1,335,000 
(2011: $750,769). Total utilised at reporting date was $1,248,511.

contingent Assets

No contingent assets exist as 30 June 2012 or 30 June 2011.

Note 25: 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. Any transactions between reportable segments have been offset for these purposes.

Proportionate consolidation of associates results

Operating results and share of assets and liabilities are proportionately consolidated for the purposes of internal reporting 
and preparation of the financial statements.

ordinary share of Jupiter Mines Limited (JMS). 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 JMS 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.  Should the Vesting 
Conditions (described below) not be met, options will lapse.

The terms and conditions of the grants on issue as at 30 June 2012 are as follows, whereby all options are settled by 
physical delivery of shares:

In  total,  $262,616  (2011:  $nil)  of  employee  remuneration  expense  (all  of  which  related  to  equity-settled  share-based 
payment transactions) has been included in the profit and loss for 2012 and credited to share option reserve.

The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility of the Company (calculated on the weighted average remaining 
life of the share options), adjusted for any expected changes to volatility due to publicly available information.

Risk-free interest rates are based on 5 year government bonds.

Options will only convert to ordinary shares upon the achievement of a service condition.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 30: Financial instruments (continued)

Financial risk Management Policies

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.  

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;

 - monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

 -

obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

 - 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

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).

(i)  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:

(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. 

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:

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

Note 30: Financial instruments (continued)

(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. 

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).
