Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholders,
The financial year ending 28 February 2017 has undoubtedly been a record year in the history of Jupiter Mines 
Limited. 

The Tshipi Borwa manganese mine, with its low cost base and record production, is now one of the five largest 
manganese operations globally and one of the three largest in South Africa. It has performed remarkably in the 
financial year, taking advantage of the upturn of the manganese market. Tshipi made its first shareholder 
distribution of ZAR1 billion at the end of the financial year. This distribution resulted in the return of half of the 
original capital to the shareholders.

In the Central Yilgarn, the Board reviewed both the Mount Ida Magnetite and Mount Mason Hematite Projects during
the year. With the iron ore market still unstable, both projects remain on care and maintenance.

Jupiter is now considering strategic options and should the manganese market continue in the current light, the
coming year will hopefully see further value delivered to shareholders.

Yours Faithfully,

Jupiter Mines Limited

Brian Gilbertson
Chairman

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Review of Operations

Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter” or
the “Company”) has an interest in
two areas: a 49.9% share in Tshipi é
Ntle Manganese Mining (“Tshipi”),
which operates the Tshipi Borwa
Manganese mine in South Africa;
and in Australia, the Central Yilgarn
Iron Project (“CYIP”), which includes
the Mount Ida Magnetite Project
and Mount Mason Hematite Project.

TSHIPI BORWA 
MANGANESE MINE

The Tshipi Borwa mine has a life of
mine in excess of 60 years. The
plant and infrastructure has been
developed for an annual production
capacity of 3.6 million tonnes, with 
a rail siding that can accommodate
up to 2 trains at a time, being
loaded in 3 to 4 hours. 

Figure 2 – Tshipi Borwa pit

Figure 1. Tshipi Kalahari Manganese Project
Location Map

During the year, the manganese
price recovered considerably, and
combined with tight cost controls,
Tshipi comfortably exceeded its 
production and profitability targets,
generating a cash balance of over
ZAR 1.5 billion at year end. 

Figure 3  –Tshipi Borwa plant

With no external debt to be repaid,
it was announced in November 2016
that Tshipi would distribute 
ZAR 1 billion to its shareholders. 
This distribution represented 
approximately 50% of the capital 
investment originally made to 
develop the mine.

For the financial year ended 
28 February 2017, Tshipi sold 
approximately 2.3 million tonnes of
manganese ore. For the coming
2018 financial year, Tshipi is 
targeting production of 3 million
tonnes. 

In light of the record 2017 year and
2018 targets, the Board resolved in
January 2017 to consider strategic
options with regards to Tshipi, to
enhance shareholder value.

After seeing a clear increase in the
manganese market during the year,
Jupiter again commissioned an 
independent valuation of its stake in
Tshipi according to valuation and
accounting standards as at 
28 February 2017. The preferred 
valuation of the investment was 

2

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Review of Operations

Figure 4  –Tshipi Borwa

TSHIPI BORWA (continued)

concluded to be $889,156,478. The
Board has resolved to reverse the
impairment recorded in 2016 of
$143,641,903. This together with the
original investment amount, 
movement in the shareholder loan
and accumulated share of profit in
Tshipi, the investment balance as at
28 February 2017 is $345,556,557
(2016: 178,818,142). Under the equity
accounting standards which the 
investment is accounted for, a 
further revaluation to the
$889,156,478 valuation amount is
not permitted. Further information
on the valuation and investment 
balance is provided at Note 18. The
reversal of the 2016 impairment has
been shown on the Statement of
Consolidated Profit or Loss and
Other Comprehensive Income. It is 
a non-cash item with no impact on
cash flow.

JUPITER MARKETING

During the financial year, Jupiter
Kalahari S.A. gave notice to exit the
OM Tshipi (S) Pte Ltd joint venture,
which previously marketed and sold
all the ore produced from Tshipi,
and accordingly appointed Jupiter
as its permitted nominee to 
purchase its 49.9% share of the ore
produced from Tshipi. In order to 
facilitate this, Jupiter was registered
as an external company in South
Africa (“Jupiter SA”). Jupiter SA has
been carrying out the sale and 
export of Jupiter’s share of Tshipi’s

Figure 5. CYIP Project Location Map

manganese ore. Due to the limited
administrative operations of Jupiter
in South Africa, Tshipi and Jupiter
concluded that Tshipi would carry
out certain functions to facilitate
sales by Jupiter SA to third parties;
hence the Tshipi trade receivable
balance is shown in the Related
Party disclosure in Note 28. For the
financial year to 28 February 2017,
sales of $155,555,500 were recorded
by Jupiter.

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.

With iron ore prices remaining 
unstable, both the Mount Ida 
Magnetite Project and Mount Mason
Hematite Project remain on care
and maintenance. 

Jupiter once again commissioned an
independent valuation of its iron ore
assets in line with valuation and 
accounting standards. The valuation
recommended the Mount Ida 
Magnetite Project to be valued at
$12,000,000 and the Mount Mason
DSO Hematite Project valued at
$600,000. However in light of the
reduction of the iron ore price since
the year-end date, the Board 
decided to not reverse previous 
impairments recognised.  

These projects will remain on care
and maintenance until economic
conditions improve.

MOUNT IDA MAGNETITE
PROJECT

The flagship Mount Ida Magnetite
Project has the reserves to be a tier
one long-life magnetite mine.

Jupiter suspended work on the
Mount Ida Feasibility Study in 
November 2012, and the project 
remains on care and maintenance.
No work has been undertaken on
this project in this financial year.

Review of Operations

MOUNT MASON DSO HEMATITE PROJECT

The Mount Mason high-grade hematite mineralisation is located approximately 12km northwest of the Mount Ida
Magnetite Project. It has the potential to be a low cost start-up, near term project with a short payback period. It is 
envisaged that the proposed Mount Mason Project, upon completion, would lead to mining at the Mount Ida 
magnetite deposit.

Jupiter suspended optimisation of the Mount Mason Feasibility Study at the end of 2014, and the project remains on
care and maintenance. No work has been undertaken on this project in this financial year.

of Jupiter Mines Limited (Jupiter) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the Consolidated 
Entity) for the financial year ended 28 February 2017 and the Independent Auditor’s Report thereon.

Directors

The Directors of Jupiter at any time during or since the end of the financial year are as follows:

Non-Executive

– Brian Patrick Gilbertson
– Paul Raymond Murray
– Andrew Bell
– Soo-Cheol Shin (resigned 31 March 2016)
– Sungwon Yoon (appointed 31 March 2016)

Executive

– Priyank Thapliyal

Additional information is provided below regarding the current Directors.

Brian Patrick Gilbertson MSc, MBL
(Chairman: Non-Executive Director)

Mr Gilbertson was appointed a Director on 22 June 2010.

Mr Gilbertson has extensive experience in the global natural resources industry. He was Managing Director of
Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited in the 1980’s, a period during which the company gained recognition as 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 (Billiton
plc) of the Royal Dutch Shell Group.

In 1997, Gencor Limited restructured its non-precious metals interests as Billiton plc. With Mr Gilbertson as Executive
Chairman, Billiton plc raised US$1.5 billion in an initial public offering on the LSE, taking the company into the FTSE
100. Separately, Mr Gilbertson worked to merge the gold operations of Gencor and Gold Fields of South Africa, 
creating Gold Fields Limited, a leader in the world gold mining industry. He served as its first Chairman until 
October 1998. In 2001, Billiton plc merged with BHP Limited to create what is widely regarded as the world’s 
premier resources company, BHP Billiton plc. Mr Gilbertson was appointed its second Chief Executive on 1 July
2002.

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

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

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.

Mr Gilbertson is a British and South African citizen. He has not been a Director of any other ASX listed company in
the past three years.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Directors’ Report

Paul Raymond Murray FFin, CPA
(Independent Non-Executive Director, Remuneration Committee Chairman, Audit Committee Chairman) 

Mr Murray was appointed as a Director on 20 August 2003.

Mr Murray has served on the Board and consulted to a number of ASX listed resource exploration companies.

With a business career spanning 50 years, he has also been responsible for the successful listing on the ASX of a
number of public companies.

Mr Murray has been a Director of Great Western Minerals Limited, Consolidated Western Areas Limited and Global
Mineral Resources Limited.

Andrew Bell B.A. (Hons), M.A., LLB (Hons) 
(Independent Non-Executive Director, Audit Committee Member, Remuneration Committee Member) 

Mr Bell was appointed as a Director of Jupiter on 19 May 2008.

Mr Bell is Chairman of Red Rock Resources plc, a company listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange
Ltd. He was a natural resources analyst in London in the 1970s, then specialised in investment and investment 
banking covering the Asian region. He has been involved in the resource and mining sectors in Asia since the 1990s,
and has served on the Boards of a number of listed resource companies. 

Mr Bell has been a Director of Star Striker Limited (formerly Resource Star Limited) (ASX: SRT)

Mr Bell is presently on the following Boards:

• Red Rock Resources plc, (AIM: RRR) since 2005

• Chairman of Regency Mines plc (AIM: RGM) since 2004

Priyank Thapliyal Metallurgical Engineer, B Tech, M Eng, MBA (Western Ontario, Canada)
(Executive Director, Audit Committee Member, Remuneration Committee Member)

Mr Thapliyal was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Jupiter on 4 June 2008. He was appointed as Chief 
Executive Officer on 15 July 2013.

Mr Thapliyal has been charged with implementing the Pallinghurst Resources Steel Making Materials strategy
through Jupiter.

Mr Thapliyal, a founding partner of Pallinghurst Advisors LLP, joined Sterlite Industries in 2000 as a US$100 million
firm. Priyank Thapliyal acted as deputy to Anil Agarwal (founder and chairman of Vedanta) and was responsible for
spearheading the main strategic developments that resulted in the listing of Vedanta on the London Stock 
Exchange (“LSE”) in December 2003. The listing has been credited for transforming Vedanta from an Indian copper
smelting company in 2000 to the current multi-billion dollar revenue LSE-listed global company. A significant part
of this value uplift soon after listing was attributable to the US$50 million acquisition of a controlling stake in
Konkola Copper Mines in Zambia in November 2004, which was initiated and led by Mr Thapliyal.

Priyank was a former mining and metals investment banker with CIBCWM, Toronto Canada and is a qualified 
Metallurgical Engineer, MBA (Western Ontario, Canada) and former Falconbridge employee.

The exit of the OM Tshipi (S) Pte Ltd joint venture was completed on 11 April 2017 and proceeds of US$2,300,000
have been received by Jupiter Kalahari S.A.

Likely Developments

The operations at the Tshipi Borwa Manganese Mine are expected to continue in a similar manner to present.

The Directors still intend Jupiter to proceed with the development of Jupiter’s Mount Ida Magnetite and Mount
Mason DSO Hematite projects should this be economically viable.

Environmental Regulations and Performance

Jupiter’s operations are subject to general environmental regulation under the laws of the States and Territories of
Australia and South Africa. The various exploration interests held by Jupiter impose future environmental 
obligations for site remediation following sampling and drilling programs.

The Board is aware of these requirements and management is charged with ensuring compliance. The Directors are
not aware of any breaches of these environmental regulations and licence obligations during the year.

Options and Rights

As at 28 February 2017, there were nil (28 February 2016: nil) options over unissued shares in the capital of Jupiter.
No options were granted during the financial year.

No options were exercised during the financial year.

Since 28 February 2017 to the date of this Annual Report, nil options have been exercised and no options have been
granted. Nil (28 February 2016: Nil) options lapsed or were vested during the financial year.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Jupiter Mines Limited (“Jupiter”) and its 
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 June 2017.

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.
All amounts in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar. Tables may not cast in all instances due
to rounding.

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 year. 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 13 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

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations.  The consideration 
transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair
values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, which includes the
fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement.  Acquisition costs are 
expensed as incurred.

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless
of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.  

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets.  It is calculated as the excess of the
sum of: (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in
the acquire, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the 
acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets.  If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum
calculated above, the excess amount (i.e. gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately.  

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

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.

Associates are those entities over which the Group is able to exert significant influence but which are not 
subsidiaries.

A joint venture is an arrangement that the Group controls jointly with one or more other investors, and over
which the Group has rights to a share of the arrangement’s net assets rather than direct rights to underlying 
assets and obligations for underlying liabilities.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Group’s share in the associate or joint venture is not
recognised separately and is included in the amount recognised as investment.

The carrying amount of the investment in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognise
the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, 
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Group.

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are 
eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the 
underlying asset is also tested for impairment. 

(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 year 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 years in which significant
amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (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 year 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 year when the new information becomes available.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

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 year.

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 years 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 (i.e. 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.

(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.

20

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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 (i.e. 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.

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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

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.

(i) 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.

(j) 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.

(k) 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.

(l) 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.

(m) 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 basis 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).

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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.

(p) 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 period 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.

(q) Comparative Figures

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

(r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements 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. 

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. 

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

23

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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. 

(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.

(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.

(u) Adoption of New and Revised accounting standards and interpretations

During the current period, 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.

New and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements

A number of new and revised standards became mandatory and are effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2015.  Information on these new standards which could impact on the Group are presented
below:

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial 
Liabilities

AASB 2012-3 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. 

24

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

AASB 2012-3 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as the amendments merely
clarify the existing requirements in AASB 132. 

AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

These narrow-scope amendments address disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired
assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal.

When developing IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the IASB decided to amend IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to
require disclosures about the recoverable amount of impaired assets.  The IASB noticed however that some of
the amendments made in introducing those requirements resulted in the requirement being more broadly 
applicable than the IASB had intended.  These amendments to IAS 36 therefore clarifies the IASB’s original 
intention that the scope of those disclosures is limited to the recoverable amount of impaired assets that is
based on fair value less costs of disposal. 

AASB 2013-3 makes the equivalent amendments to AASB 136 Impairment of Assets and is applicable to annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as they are largely of the 
nature of clarification of existing requirements.

AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Part A: Annual Improvements 2010–2012 and
2011–2013 Cycles)

Part A of AASB 2014-1 makes amendments to various Australian Accounting Standards arising from the 
issuance by the IASB of International Financial Reporting Standards Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012
Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle.

Among other improvements, the amendments arising from Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle:

• clarify that the definition of a ‘related party’ includes a management entity that provides key management

personnel services to the reporting entity (either directly or through a group entity); and

• amend AASB 8 Operating Segments to explicitly require the disclosure of judgements made by management

in applying the aggregation criteria.

Among other improvements, the amendments arising from Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle 
clarify that an entity should assess whether an acquired property is an investment property under AASB 140 
Investment Property and perform a separate assessment under AASB 3 Business Combinations to determine
whether the acquisition of the investment property constitutes a business combination.

Part A of AASB 2014-1 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

The adoption of these amendments has not had a material impact on the Group as they are largely of the 
nature of clarification of existing requirements.

(v) New accounting standards for Application in Future Periods

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 
28 February 2016 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.

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

25

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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 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 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in
Joint Operations

These amendments impacts on the use of AASB 11 when acquiring an interest in a joint operation.  

The effective date is annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 31 December 2016, there will be no material 
impact on the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements.

AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an
Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments address a current inconsistency between AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and
AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011). The amendments clarify that, on a sale or 
contribution of assets to a joint venture or associate or on a loss of control when joint control or significant 
influence is retained in a transaction involving an associate or a joint venture, any gain or loss recognised will 
depend on whether the assets or subsidiary constitute a business, as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations.
Full gain or loss is recognised when the assets or subsidiary constitute a business, whereas gain or loss 
attributable to other investors’ interests is recognised when the assets or subsidiary do not constitute a 
business.

The effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

26

JUPITER MINES LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 31 December 2016, there will be no material 
impact on the financial statements.

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.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 replaces AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and some revenue-related 
Interpretations:

•

•

•

•

establishes a new revenue recognition model

changes the basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time or at a point in time

provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics (e.g. multiple element arrangements, variable
pricing, rights of return, warranties and licensing)

expands and improves disclosures about revenue

The effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 15.  However, based on the entity’s
preliminary assessment, the Standard is not expected to have a material impact on the transactions and bal-
ances recognised in the financial statements when it is first adopted for the year ending 28 February 2018.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16:

•

•

•

•

•

replaces AASB 117 Leases and some lease-related Interpretations

requires all leases to be accounted for “on-balance sheet” by lessees, other than short-term and low value
asset leases

provides new guidance on the application of the definition of lease and on sale and lease back accounting

largely retains the existing lessor accounting requirements in AASB 117

requires new and different disclosures about leases

The effective date is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

When this Standard is first adopted for the year ending 28 February 2019, there will be no material impact on
the transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements.

During the financial year, Jupiter Kalahari S.A. gave notice to exit the OM Tshipi (S) Pte Ltd joint venture, which 
previously marketed and sold all the ore produced from Tshipi, and accordingly appointed Jupiter as its permitted
nominee to purchase its 49.9% share of the ore produced from Tshipi. Jupiter SA has been carrying out the sale and
export of Jupiter’s share of Tshipi’s manganese ore. For the financial year to 28 February 2017, sales of $155,555,500
and cost of sales of $146,298,513 were recorded by Jupiter (February 2016: nil).

At 28 February 2017, the future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure was assessed
and the Board received an independent external valuation of the Mount Ida Magnetite and Mount Mason DSO
Hematite projects, which provided a value of $12,000,000 and $600,000 respectively. The valuation was based on a
resource multiple based on market capitals of listed peers with similar assets. However due to the decline of the iron
ore price since the year-end date, the Board decided not to reverse any previously recognised impairments. 
Capitalised costs amounting to $873,670 (February 2016: $1,160,428) have been included in cash flows from 
investing activities in the statement of cash flows.

Fair Value of Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Non-financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three (3)
levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three (3) levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the
measurement, as follows:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 

either directly or indirectly;

• Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The following table shows the Levels within the hierarchy of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a

The fair value of the Group’s exploration and evaluation assets above is estimated based on a market based 
assessment performed by an independent, professionally-qualified valuer.  The significant inputs and assumptions
are developed in close consultation with management.  The valuation processes and fair value changes are reviewed
by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee at each reporting date. The valuation was carried out using a 
market based assessment that incorporates a review of comparable iron ore companies and projects in Australia,
which includes listed DSO and Magnetite projects.

In accordance with the Group’s accounting policies and processes, the Group performs its impairment testing 
annually at 28 February. Non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting period to determine whether there is
an indication of impairment.

When indicators of impairment exist, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made. For the year-end, the
Group commissioned an independent valuation of its 49.9% share of its investment in Tshipi é Ntle Manganese 
Mining Proprietary Limited (“Tshipi’). The valuation, which also included a Competent Persons Report, 
recommended a preferred valuation of the Tshipi Borwa asset to be $889,156,478. The Board therefore resolved to
reverse the investment in Tshipi of $143,643,903 that was recorded in the 2016 financial year.

Under the equity method accounting standards however, an investment of this type is unable to be recognised at a
fair value higher than previously recognised. Therefore the carrying value of the Tshipi investment at year end is
$345,556,557, taking into account the reversal of the previous impairment, movement of shareholder loans, and 
accumulated share of profit. 

Further details relating to the valuation and reversal of the impairment are as follows:

a) Methodology

Impairment is recognised when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
being the value in use of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) has been estimated using the discounted cash flows
method based on the Group’s recoverable minerals.

Value in use is estimated based on discounted cash flows using market based commodity price, estimated 
quantities of recoverable minerals, production levels, operating costs and capital requirements. When Life of Mine
(LOM) plans fully utilise the existing mineral resource and the Group have demonstrated an ability to replenish 
resources, an estimated replenishment rate has been applied to unmined resources.

The estimates in the value in use calculation are considered to be level 3 measurements as they are derived from
valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data. The Group considers the 
inputs and the valuation approach to be consistent with the approach taken by similar market participants.

Estimates of quantities of recoverable minerals, production levels, operating costs and capital requirements are
sourced from the Group planning and budgeting process, capacity levels and mining plans for the following year.
The 2018 budget and mine plan were developed in the context of the current manganese price environment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 18: Investments Using the Equity Method (continued)

Significant judgements and assumptions are made by the Group to determine value in use. This includes assessing
variable key assumptions such as manganese market prices, cost structures, production utilisation and capacity,
available minerals and discount rates. Any change in these variable assumptions can cause adverse changes in one
or more of the assumptions used to estimate value in use.

Further to the above, and the recovery of the manganese price market, the Board have resolved to reverse the 2016
impairment in Tshipi of $143,643,903.

b) Key Assumptions

Commodity prices

The Tshipi Borwa valuation is particularly sensitive to the manganese price. The independent valuation used 
information from a range of sources to forecast the manganese price. The manganese price assumptions used were
within a range of US$2.60 per dry metric tonne unit (“dmtu”) to US$5.00 per dmtu over the life of mine.

Discount rate

The future cash flows of the CGU are discounted by the estimated real after tax weighted average cost of capital
(WACC), pursuant to the Capital Asset Pricing Model. This has been estimated based on the Tshipi WACC rate as
the Tshipi mining operation is the Group’s primary asset.

Production activity and operating and capital costs

Life of mine production activity and operating and capital cost assumptions are based on the Group’s latest budget,
including the five year budget and separately estimated LOM plan. Discounted cash flows include expected cost 
improvements and sustaining capital requirements. Estimated production is assumed consistent with the capacity
of the Tshipi mine taken into account while assuming a constant recovery rate.

Resources and reserves

Resource and Reserve tonnes were based on JORC 2012.

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.

(b) The property lease is non-cancellable for two years, with rent payable monthly in advance.

Expenditure Commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to mining tenements, the Company and Group are required to perform
minimum 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 $473,760 (2016: $478,933) and exploration expenditure of $676,100 (2016:
$676,100).

The Group operates in the mining industry.

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 its exploration and production interests. These are 
considered to be the Central Yilgarn Iron Exploration Project (Iron Ore), which is located in Australia, the producing
Tshipi Project (Manganese) which is located in South Africa, and Jupiter’s South African branch which carries the
sale of Jupiter’s share of manganese ore. 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.

(c) During the financial year, Jupiter has registered a branch in South Africa. This branch has undertaken the sale of
Jupiter's share of Tshipi manganese ore.  Due to the limited administrative operations of Jupiter South Africa,
Tshipi and Jupiter arranged that Tshipi would carry out certain functions to facilitate sales by the branch to 3rd
parties, resultant in the trade receivable that has been reported at $9,876,666. This amount represents the net
amount of the Branch's sales of manganese ($155,555,500) less cost of purchases and administrative costs
($145,678,834).

Note 27: Events After the Reporting Date

These financial statements were authorised for issue on 26 June 2017 by Director Brian Gilbertson.

Jupiter undertook an equal access share buy-back, offering to buy-back 6% of issued capital. The offer period
closed on 7 March 2017. Subsequently on 13 March 2017, 134,190,158 shares were cancelled, and $70,635,693.20 
proceeds were paid to shareholders.

On 14 March 2017, the Company announced the appointment of Bank of America Merrill Lynch to investigate 
strategic options to realise shareholder value from the Tshipi manganese mine.

The exit of the OM Tshipi (S) Pte Ltd joint venture was completed on 11 April 2017 and proceeds of US$2,300,000
have been received in Jupiter Kalahari S.A.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2017

Note 29: Financial Instruments (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 24 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
are 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:

(iii)  Other price risk

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

(iv)  Summarised sensitivity analysis

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Jupiter Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities to 
interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.

Management have reviewed interest rate and foreign exchange risk and determined the rates applied to be 
appropriate.

(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 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).
