Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,

The financial year ending 30 June 2013 has seen significant progress on Jupiter’s key projects, and I am pleased to 
present the review of the activities.

At the beginning of the financial year, Jupiter raised approximately $76 million through a private placement and 
entitlement issue to largely support the continued development of its manganese assets in South Africa.

In respect to progress on the Company’s major project, the Tshipi Borwa mine, 2013 was a significant year, with 
the project becoming a producing open-pit manganese mine. The first ore was mined in October 2012, well ahead 
of the planned mining schedule. The focus on the second half of this year has been to complete the remaining 
construction activities and to ensure ramp up of production in line with Tshipi’s long term plans.

In the Central Yilgarn, work has continued on the optimisation of costs on the Mt Mason DSO Hematite Project. 
The Company also commenced its approvals process on this project.

Work on the Mt Ida Magnetite Project feasibility study was put on hold in November 2012, due to the adverse iron 
ore price and exchange rate environment at that time. Together with the absence of a viable port solution, it was 
considered prudent to cease spending at this time.

For Mt Ida and Mt Mason to be developed, access to the Esperance Port and Rail infrastructure is critical, and 
Jupiter is fully participating in the Esperance Port Multi User Iron Ore Facility (MUIOF) process where necessary, 
in order to increase efficiencies and accelerate a port solution for our projects.

The past year has been an interesting one for Jupiter and the year ahead will see further progress, at both Tshipi 
and the Central Yilgarn, as we continue the execution of the Jupiter Steel Feed Corporation Strategy. 

Yours Faithfully,

Jupiter Mines Limited 

Brian Gilbertson

Chairman

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 20135

Review of Operations

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

Significant progress was achieved during the year at the Company’s major project in South Africa the Tshipi 
Kalahari Manganese Project.

In Australia, at the Central Yilgarn Iron Project (“CYIP”), work on the Mount Ida Magnetite Project Feasibility Study 
continued until November 2012, when spending was frozen. Work continued on the optimisation of the Mount 
Mason Feasibility Study and preparation of the project approvals documentation.

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, became a producing open-pit manganese mine during the year. It 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 is mining 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, once the operation stabilises, the Tshipi Borwa Mine is expected 
to produce a comparable product that has been tried and tested in the global manganese markets.

Tshipi Bokone is an exploration property located in the northern portion of the Kalahari Manganese Field.

Review of Operations (continued)

TSHIPI BORWA

During the year the Tshipi Borwa manganese mine achieved significant development and production milestones. 
On 16 October 2012, Tshipi mined its first manganese ore, a few weeks ahead of the planned mining schedule. In late 
November the first train loaded with manganese was railed to Port Elizabeth by Transnet, and was loaded onto the 
first vessel at the end of December. This was a significant milestone and marked Tshipi’s move into operations.

manganese ore

Figure 3. Tshipi Borwa – Vessel being loaded with 
manganese ore

Having achieved the production target prior to the end of 2012, the focus in 2013 has been to complete the 
remaining construction activities and to ensure ramp up of production in line with Tshipi’s long-term logistical, 
mine and production plan and to ensure, in the short term, sufficient ore for the temporary crushing and 
screening plant to fulfill Tshipi’s rail allocation.

The process plant construction focused on the completion of the rapid load out station and associated feeding 
conveyors. Fabrication, erection and construction activities have continued on the remainder of the plant.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 20137

Review of Operations (continued)

Transnet has committed to make available two trains per week while one additional train per week is at Transnet’s 
discretion. Alternative road/rail solutions are being adopted to increase logistics capacity, which includes the use 
of sea containers and skiptainers. The first road/rail combination successfully saw the consignment of containers 
to Port Elizabeth in June 2013.

The capital budget for the construction of Tshipi Borwa was reassessed during the year, as a result of the delay 
in the expected completion date of the projects’ permanent processing plant until the end of 2013. The project 
capital estimate for completion has increased by ZAR 160 million (approximately US$17 million) from the original 
ZAR 1,716 million approved capital budget. 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- rata 
share of 49.9% of these amounts listed above.

TSHIPI BOKONE 

Exploration activities at Tshipi Bokone have temporarily been put on hold as Tshipi management focus their 
attention at bringing Tshipi Borwa to optimum production. 

CENTRAL YILGARN IRON PROJECTS 

The Central Yilgarn Iron Project (“CYIP”) area is located 130km by road northwest of the town of Menzies.

The CYIP consists of the smaller DSO project – (Mount Mason) and the flagship long-life magnetite Project – 
(Mount Ida).

Both projects are planned around existing infrastructure in the region, including the Leonora to Esperance railway 
line, and the Port of Esperance.

Review of Operations (continued)

MOUNT IDA MAGNETITE PROJECT 

The flagship Mount Ida Magnetite Project has the reserves to be a tier one long-life magnetite mine, further 
establishing Jupiter’s presence in the Central Yilgarn region.

Jupiter decided to suspend the Feasibility Study on the Mount Ida Magnetite Project in November 2012, due to 
higher estimates of capital and operating costs than those contained in the 2011 Scoping Study, together with the 
depressed iron ore price and strong exchange rate environment at the time, and lack of progress on the mooted 
Esperance Port expansion plans.

During the year, Jupiter announced that the Northern and Southern Zones at the Project had added a JORC 
compliant inferred resource of 615 million tonnes at 28.86% Fe (see Table 1).

With existing Central Zone JORC compliant indicated resource of 1.23 billion tonnes at 29.79% Fe, announced in 
early September 2012, the total magnetite resource for the Project is now 1.85 billion tonnes at 29.48% Fe.

The updated resource now reflects the total drilling undertaken on the Project for the Feasibility Study, with 
approximately 100,000 metres of drilling completed.

Figure 7. Mount Ida – Drill Core

The metallurgical test work program of the Feasibility Study advanced; high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) test 
work was completed with the ore demonstrating a consistent response to the HPGR process. Significant size 
reduction at low energy consumption was achieved during these tests. Pilot plant tests for the Feasibility Study 
were completed during September 2012, with the process flow sheet and layouts being finalised.

Detailed planning of some components of the mine layout was undertaken, including a ROM pad, gyratory 
primary crusher, processing plant, waste rock landform, tailings management facility (2 cells) and supporting 
infrastructure. The supporting infrastructure includes a gas fired power station, concentrate rail load-out facility 
and rail loop, accommodation camp, sealed airstrip, gas lateral pipeline from the Goldfields Gas Pipeline, rail line 
from Menzies, desalination plant and mine access roads.

Infrastructure service providers for the gas lateral pipeline and power station completed key components of the 
Feasibility Study. Planning was completed on the water exploration drill program with the identification of targets 
and completion of geophysical gravity surveys over some of those targets.

Figure 8. Mount Ida Site Infrastructure Layout

All baseline environmental and heritage surveys were completed for Mount Ida, as required under Western 
Australian mining and environmental approvals legislation. These included:

•	 Heritage surveys (archaeological and ethnographic) of proposed haul road, airstrip and camp with the two 

Native Title claimant groups;

•	

•	

Level 1 fauna survey of proposed haul road, airstrip and campsite; and

Targeted (priority species) surveys of the proposed mine haul road.

An extensive drill hole rehabilitation was undertaken and completed ahead of schedule and on budget, and 
required the rehabilitation of over 320 drill hole sites and associated sumps, collection and disposal of bagged drill 
hole samples, and the rehabilitation of over 36 kilometres of tracks.

Rehabilitation of the Mount Ida drilling sites was of a high standard. All rehabilitation audit and reports on the 
rehabilitation will be completed by the end of September 2013.

MOUNT MASON DSO HEMATITE PROJECT 

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

The focus of the year remained the optimisation of the Feasibility Study. Further work was intended to reduce the 
operating and capital costs.

The capital cost of accommodation and the operating costs of mining, crushing and ore haulage were considered 
to be the initial areas of interest. Investigations commenced on the alternative suppliers of accommodation units 
and initial contacts were made with these suppliers. 

Pricing was obtained for mining contracting, crushing, screening and ore haulage from a firm in the Kalgoorlie 
area and an engineering firm was approached to undertake a conceptual study of a private haul road option.

A detailed layout for the Yunndaga rail siding near Menzies for the loading of rail cars with ore transported by road 
train from the mine site was completed. A detailed study of surface water management at the site was commenced.

Figure 11. Mount Mason Site Infrastructure Layout

All baseline environmental surveys and studies were completed and all the Project Approvals for Mount Mason are 
expected by December 2013.

Indicative prices were received on ore haulage from the mine site to the Yunndaga rail siding near Menzies 
using different truck configurations. Operating cost reductions can be achieved using bigger payload options. 
Preliminary discussions with the Menzies Shire on upgrading the Menzies Sandstone road for the different 
transport options have commenced.

During the year, Esperance Ports Sea and Land (EPSL) announced that two preferred proponents for the iron ore 
port expansion have been selected. The successful port proponent is expected to be announced at the end of 
2013, with the expansion commencing in 2014.

NON-CORE PROJECTS

Minimal activity was undertaken on the Company’s non-core assets during the year.

At Jupiter’s Oakover Manganese Project, the Company consulted with the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation 
(YMAC) on behalf of the Njamal people in April to discuss Jupiter’s focus at the Oakover project, past surveys 
completed and proposed work on tenements E45/2638-41 and 3547.

After a successful meeting with the group, a helicopter based heritage survey was organised and carried out 
during May over the Cove Bore drilling target area on E45/2640 and associated access track through E45/3547.

An interim heritage report was received, which enabled a reconnaissance field trip to be undertaken in June to 
assess a previously outlined geophysical target on E45/2639 for manganese mineralisation.

A desktop environmental impact assessment report was produced for the Mount Alfred project.

The Oakover Manganese and Klondyke Gold projects are held for sale.

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.

ASX Recommendation

Comply Comments

2.1

A majority of the Board 
should be independent 
Directors

No

2.2

The chair should be an 
independent Director

No

Paul Murray and Andrew Bell are independent Non-Executive 
Directors. However, the Board was not comprised of a majority 
of independent Directors throughout the 2013 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 therefore 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.

Skills, knowledge and experience of Directors

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

Board meetings

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

Mr Brian Gilbertson is the Chairman of the Company and does not 
meet the Company’s criteria for independence, refer to Principle 2.1 
above. The Board believes his experience and industry knowledge 
makes him the most appropriate person to lead the Board.

The position of chairman and Chief Executive Officer are not held 
by the same person.

Disclose the process 
for evaluating the 
performance of the 
Board, its committees and

report the measurable 
objectives for achieving 
gender diversity set by 
the Board in accordance 
with the diversity policy 
and progress towards 
achieving them

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

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.

Yes

Due to the size and scale of operations of the Company, the Board

appropriate.

of senior executives are women. The company will look to increase

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

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,

entering into transactions may limit the economic risk of unvested 
entitlements they may have.

the world’s foremost producer of platinum. In the 1990’s, as Executive Chairman of Gencor Limited, he led the 
restructuring of the South African mining industry into the post-Apartheid era, transforming Gencor Limited into a 
focused mineral and mining group. During this period he held ultimate responsibility for Impala Platinum Holdings, 
for Samancor Limited (the world’s largest producer of manganese and chrome ore and alloys) and for Trans- 
Natal Coal Corporation (a major coal producer and exporter). Important new initiatives included the Hillside and 
Mozal aluminium smelters, the Columbus stainless steel plant, and the purchase of the international mining assets

Executive Chairman, Billiton plc raised US$1.5 billion in an initial public offering on the LSE, taking the company 
into the FTSE 100. Separately, Mr Gilbertson worked to merge the gold operations of Gencor and Gold Fields 
of South Africa, creating Gold Fields Limited, a leader in the world gold mining industry. He served as its first 
Chairman until October 1998. In 2001, Billiton plc merged with BHP Limited to create what is widely regarded as 
the world’s premier resources company, BHP Billiton plc. Mr Gilbertson was appointed its second Chief Executive 
on 1 July 2002.

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

He was appointed President of Sibirsko-Uralskaya Aluminium Company (SUAL), the smaller aluminium producer 
in Russia and led that company into the US$30 billion merger with RUSAL and the alumina assets of Glencore 
International A.G., creating the largest aluminium company in the world.

Mr Gilbertson established Pallinghurst Advisors LLP and Pallinghurst (Cayman) GP L.P. during 2006 and 2007 
respectively, to develop opportunities on behalf of a group of natural resource investors, which currently own 86% 
of Jupiter.

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each Director of Jupiter Mines Limited and for the

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.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Relationship between Remuneration Policy and Jupiter’s Performance

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

Description

Rationale

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

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

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

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

Anti-Hedging Policy

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

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

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

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

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

Continuous Improvement

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

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:

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 201339

Directors’ Report (continued)

Summary of Key Contract Terms 
Remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel are formalised in employment agreements. 
Details are provided below. 

Other Key Management Personnel

All other Key Management Personnel have rolling contracts with either a standard 1 or 3 month termination 
notice period.

Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits are reviewed annually 
by the Board, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated 
entity and comparable market remunerations.

Executives can receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor 
vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and adds additional value to the 
executive.

Consolidated entity performance and link to remuneration

The Directors’ remuneration levels are not directly dependent upon the Group or Company’s performance or any 
other performance conditions. However, practically, whether shareholders vote for or against an increase in the 
aggregate director remuneration will depend upon, amongst other things, how the Group and Company have 
performed.

Use of remuneration consultants

During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, the Company did not engage remuneration consultants, to review 
its existing remuneration policies and provide recommendations on how to improve both short-term and long-
term incentives.

Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)

At the last AGM 97.61% of the shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 
2012. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

End of Audited Remuneration Report

Corporate Governance 

The Directors aspire to maintain the standards of Corporate Governance appropriate to Jupiter. Jupiter’s 
Corporate Governance Statement is set out on pages 18 to 26 of this Report. 

This report is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements

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 26 September 2013.

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 14 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-Group balances and transactions between 
entities in the Consolidated Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the 
parent entity.

Business Combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination 
involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted 
for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and 
liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability 
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, 
contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is 
accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured 
each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the 
change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of 
comprehensive income.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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.

(c) 

Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and 
deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax 
liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant 
taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances 
during the year as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the 
tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an 
asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period 
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in 
which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the 
deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and 
joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the 
foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is 
intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and 
liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of 
set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same 
taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that 
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur 
in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be 
recovered or settled.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 201347

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

(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

Depreciation Rate

Office equipment

Furniture & fittings

Motor vehicles

Leasehold improvements

Buildings

33.33%

33.33%

12.50%

20.00%

10.00%

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

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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in 
the period when the new information becomes available.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) 

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. 

(g) 

Financial Assets

Recognition and initial measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the 
company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the 
instrument is classified “at fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed 
to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement 

Finance instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest 
rate method, or cost.

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial 
recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative 
amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the 
effective interest method.

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are 
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, 
reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant 
period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including 
fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot 
be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of 
the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an 
adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in 
profit or loss.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 2013Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

49

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.

(i) 

Loans and receivables

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

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

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and 
fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to 
maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets where they are expected 
to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are 
classified as current assets.

(ii) 

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.

(iii) 

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

(h) 

Inventories

Inventories, work in progress, consumables and finished goods, are measured at the lower of cost and 
net realisable value, on the weighted average cost basis. Average costs are calculated by reference to the 
cost levels experienced in the relevant month together with those in opening inventory. For this purpose 
the costs of production include: 

•	 Labour	costs,	materials	and	contractor	expenses	which	are	directly	attributable	to	the	extraction	and	

processing of ore;

•	 The	depreciation	and	amortisation	of	mine	development	costs	and	property,	plant	and	equipment,	

including capitalised pre-stripping costs, used in the extraction and processing of ore; and

•	 An	appropriate	share	of	the	production	overheads	based	on	normal	operating	capacity.

Stockpiles represent ore that exceeds the mine’s cut-off grade and is valued at the lower of cost and 
net realisable value. Work in progress inventory consists of partly processed material. Quantities are 
assessed through surveys.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated 
costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(i) 

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.

(j) 

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.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 201351

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

(k) 

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.

(l) 

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.

(m) 

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.

(n) 

Revenue and Other Income

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of the saleable product 
have transferred to the customer. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the customer upon delivery 
to the customer’s control. This generally occurs when the product is physically transferred onto a vessel.

Revenue from inventory sales is measured at fair value of consideration received/receivable. Revenue is 
stated after deducting sales taxes, duties and levies.

The price is determined on a provisional bases at the date of sale (cost insurance and freight). 
Adjustments to the sale price may occur based on variances in the metal or moisture content of the 
ore up to the date of final pricing. The period between provisional invoicing and final pricing is typically 
between 2 and 3 months. Accordingly, the fair value of the original revenue and associated receivable 
is adjusted each reporting period by reference to the best estimate of the actual metal and moisture 
content. The changes in fair value are recorded as an adjustment to 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).

(o) 

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.

(p) 

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) 

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.

(r) 

Comparative Figures

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

(s) 

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 27.

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 $1,573,618. Refer to Note 18 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.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 201353

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as 
a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and 
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision 
is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, 
taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is 
material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the 
provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(t) 

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.  
wThis standard is not limited to options and also extends to other forms of equity-based remuneration.

(u) 

Foreign Currency Translation 

(i) 

Functional and presentation currency 

The functional and presentation currency of Jupiter and its subsidiaries is Australian dollars ($). 
The presentation and functional currency for the interest in Tshipi is the South African Rand.  
The results are translated into Australian dollars for disclosure in Jupiter’s consolidated accounts. 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are 
translated using the exchange rate as at the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at 
fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair 
value was determined. 

(ii) 

Translation of interest in Joint Venture functional currency to presentation currency

The results of the South African Joint Venture interest are translated into Australian dollars 
using an average rate over the period of the transactions. Assets and liabilities are translated at 
exchange rates prevailing at reporting dates. 

Exchange variations resulting from the translation of the net investments in Tshipi are taken to 
the foreign currency translation reserve. 

(v) 

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.

AASB Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of Surface Mining (applicable for 
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).

This standard has been chosen for early adoption by the Group. The Group has recognised a deferred 
stripping asset in accordance with the requirements of this Interpretation. The deferred stripping asset 
has been capitalised as part of inventory, as a current asset. The Board believes that benefit will realised 
in the next 12 months.

This interpretation clarifies that costs of removing mine waste materials (overburden) to gain access to 
mineral ore deposits during the production stage of a mine must be capitalised as inventories under 
AASB 102: Inventories if the benefits from stripping activity is realised in the form of inventory produced.

New accounting standards for Application in Future Periods

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory 
for 30 June 2013 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. 

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 2013Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

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.

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. Jupiter will 
retrospectively apply when the standard becomes mandatory.

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. 

AASB 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.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 201356

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Deferred Tax: Recovery of 
Underlying 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 2011-7 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

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.

Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures

This Standard amends IFRS 9 to require application for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2015, rather than 1 January 2013. Early application of IFRS 9 is still permitted. IFRS 9 is also amended 
so that it does not require the restatement of comparative-period financial statements for the initial 
application of the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9, but instead requires modified 
disclosures on transition to IFRS 9.

(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 (s).

Options are not included in the calculation, and could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future

There are no dilutive potential for ordinary shares as the exercise of options to ordinary shares would have the 
effect of decreasing the loss per ordinary share and would therefore be non-dilutive.

determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market. This resulted in a net loss on 
revaluation of $261,863 for the 2013 financial year. This loss is made up of $882,901 that has been expensed and a 
$621,038 gain that has been taken to the Financial Assets Reserve. For the 2012 financial year there was a net loss 
of $3,803,984, being $3,366,577 that was expensed, and a $437,407 loss that was taken from the Financial Assets

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-13 to 30-Jun-14) and between 12 months and 4 years (1-Jul-14 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-13 to 30-Jun-14) and between 12 months and 4 years (1-Jul-14 to 30-Jun-16 which is the 
end of the lease). The expense recognised for the operating lease was $865,721 (2011: $510,597).

(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 $481,842 (2012: $289,121) and 
exploration expenditure of $1,299,684 (2012: $87,839,133) of which $1,299,684 relates to the Parent Company.

Note 25: Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Contingent Liabilities
The parent entity has provided guarantees to third parties in relation to the performance and obligations of 
controlled entities in respect of banking facilities. At reporting date, the value of these guarantees and facilities are 
$1,280,000 (2012: $1,335,000). Total utilised at reporting date was $1,152,337 (2012: $1,248,511).

Contingent Assets
No contingent assets exist as 30 June 2013 or 30 June 2012.

Note 26: Segment Reporting

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

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

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

Note 28: Share-Based Payments

Each option granted under the Jupiter Mines Limited Employee Option Plan entitles the employee to acquire one 
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 2013 are as follows, whereby all options are settled

The options outstanding at 30 June 2013 have an exercise price of $0.71 and a weighted average contractual life 
of 2.55 years.

During the financial year, nil options were exercised (2012: 1,620,000). 

The fair value of services received in return for options granted is measured by reference to the fair value of 
options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on the Black Scholes 
option-pricing model. The contractual life of the options is used as an input into the model. Expectations of early 
exercise are incorporated into the model as well.

In total, $189,344 (2012: $262,616) of employee remuneration expense (all of which related to equity-settled share- 
based payment transactions) has been included in the profit and loss for 2013 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.

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.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED  Annual Report 201383

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

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.

Note 31: Financial Instruments (continued)

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:

Financial Assets 

Cash and cash equivalents

Other Non-Current Assets

Financial Liabilities

Short Term Borrowings 

Long Term Borrowings 

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

(ii)  Foreign exchange risk

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

Note 31: 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).

other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity 
comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time 
during the financial year. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report 
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report 
that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The Directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as 
the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. The Directors also state, in the notes to the financial report, in accordance with 
Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, the financial 
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Independent Audit Report (continued)

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the 
Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to 
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose 
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit 
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the financial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide 
a basis for our audit opinion.
