Directors’ Report
CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Lindian Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, which is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
During the financial year, the principal activity was mineral exploration. The Group currently holds base metal projects in
Philippines.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
SUMMARY
Whilst exploration on the Masapelid Project generated further positive exploration results, the latter part of the year has
presented challenges for the Company.
Exploration continued on the Company’s Masapelid Project with continued positive exploration results being obtained similar
to those delivered by the project in the previous year.
Completion of the initial component of the Phase 2 Reverse Circulation Drilling Programme on the Sabang
Prospect area of the Masapelid Project.
Further definition of porphyry copper-silver-gold, supergene copper-silver and high grade gold-silver mineralisation
at the New Discovery Zone, South Hill and Sabang Hill targets located on the Sabang Prospect, Masapelid Project.
Initial discovery of high grade gold mineralisation at the Triangulo Prospect, Masapelid Project.
Discovery of a new and potentially higher grade copper-gold porphyry to the north east of Sabang Hill zone of
mineralisation.
Commencement of 3-D modelling of the Sabang Prospect zones of mineralisation as a precursor to undertaking
resource estimation studies.
Continued endorsement and support of the local Masapelid Island community for the Company’s exploration
programme on the Masapelid Project.
Exploration results clearly show that the Masapelid Project is host to significant copper, gold and silver
mineralisation in several settings and multiple locations and has the potential to contain economic concentrations
of these commodities.
Whilst exploration has been very positive and continued Lindian’s momentum on the Masapelid Project, denial by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (“DENR”) of an application by the Company’s partner to a two year
extension of the exploration period under the Masapelid Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (“MPSA”) has resulted in
the Company ceasing exploration on the project until resolution of this matter. The Company, through its Philippines partner,
has submitted a Motion for Reconsideration to the DENR that inter alia identifies errors in the DENR’s denial decision
making process and seeks reversal of the decision rendered. At present, resolution of the Motion for Reconsideration is
pending.
The Company and its Philippine partner continue to pursue the appropriate regulatory remedies to obtain a reconsideration
of the DENR order.
MASAPELID PROJECT
Exploration saw completion of the initial component of the Phase 2 reverse circulation drilling programme. Results from this
initial phase of reverse circulation drilling continued to generate significant drill hole intersections at the New Discovery Zone
and Sabang Hill Prospects. Step out drilling performed as part of this drilling campaign has identified additional zones of

Directors’ Report
mineralisation at the Triangulo Prospect (high grade gold and silver) and a newly discovered and higher grade copper-gold
porphyry system (the Company’s New Porphyry Zone) located to the immediate northeast of the Sabang Hill Prospect.
Based on the results of the initial phase of reverse circulation drilling together with previous drill hole data obtained from
2011-12, the Company commenced QA/QC studies on the Sabang Prospect dataset and 3-D modelling of the mineralised
zones at Sabang as a precursor to undertaking resource estimation.
On 7 June 2013, the Company announced the suspension of all exploration work on the Masapelid Project pending
resolution of a Motion for Reconsideration by the DENR in respect to its denial of an application for a two year extension of
the exploration period under the Masapelid MPSA.
Given the successful exploration performed, it is worthy to describe the success of the Company’s exploration efforts on the
Masapelid Project reported during the year.
SABANG PROSPECT
SABANG HILL
Reverse circulation drilling continued to define extensive supergene copper-silver mineralisation at Sabang Hill with better
released results described below:
Drill hole RCS-016:
Supergene Copper-Silver Zone:
56.00 metres from 20.00 metres at 0.59% copper and 7.93g/t silver.
Drill hole RCS-017:
Supergene Copper-Silver (±Gold±Zinc) Zone:
15.00 metres from 15.00 metres at 0.70% copper, 3.72g/t silver and 0.25/t gold, and
9.00 metres from 54.00 metres at 0.51% copper, 22.94g/t silver and 0.72% zinc, and
22.00 metres from 75.00 metres at 0.55% copper and 9.71g/t silver.
Drill hole RCS-018:
Supergene Copper-Silver (±Gold±Zinc) Zone:
49.00 metres from 10.00 metres at 0.57% copper, 8.74g/t silver and 0.54% zinc, including
9.00 metres from 10.00 metres at 1.05% copper, 7.24g/t silver and 0.72% zinc, including
16.00 metres from 32.00 metres at 0.73% copper, 19.50g/t silver and 1.02% zinc.
Drill hole RCS-019:
Supergene Copper-Silver (±Lead±Zinc) Zone:
25.00 metres from 13.00 metres at 0.57% copper and 8.74g/t silver, together with 0.23% zinc and 0.23% lead.
Drill hole RCS-022:
Supergene Copper-Silver Zone:
6.00 metres from 14.00 metres at 1.21% copper and 4.93g/t silver.
From the reverse circulation drilling performed thus far on this target, it is clear that a central north northeast-south
southwest trending corridor hosts the bulk to the supergene copper-silver mineralisation.
NEW DISCOVERY ZONE
Results from reverse circulation drilling on the New Discovery Zone (“NDZ”) have further highlighted the continuity of the
supergene copper-silver mineralised zone at this target. Supergene copper grades are comparable to those obtained at the
Sabang Hill target, however, drilling has demonstrated that NDZ contains appreciably higher silver grades.
Lindian Resources Limited

2013 Report to Shareholders
Directors’ Report
Limited reverse circulation drilling into the underlying porphyry which is also host to high grade gold and silver veins has
been limited due to depth constraints of the reverse circulation drilling equipment used, those intersections of porphyry style
mineralisation have been obtained and these continue to show the consistency of the porphyry copper-silver-gold system
and have obtained high grade gold-silver intersections.
Significant drill intersections of note released during the year are as follows:
Drill hole BMS-024:
Porphyry Copper-Gold-Silver Zone:
238.00 metres from 15.00 metres at 0.59g/t gold, 9.88g/t silver, 0.29% copper and 0.32% zinc, including
84.00 metres from 57.00 metres at 1.12g/t gold, 17.95g/t silver, 0.42% copper, 0.23% lead and 0.35% zinc,
which contained an high grade gold-silver interval plus copper and zinc of
8.00 metres from 127.00 metres at 10.82g/t gold1, 15.65g/t silver, 0.34% copper and 0.69% zinc,
including 2.00 metres from 127.00 metres at 38.40g/t gold1, 39.35g/t silver, 0.34% copper, 0.41% lead
and 0.87% zinc.
3.00 metres from 175 metres at 4.42g/t gold, 8.70g/t silver and 0.28% copper, including 1.00 metre from
175.00 metres at 10.53g/t gold, 9.60g/t silver and 0.17% copper.
Drill hole BMS-025:
Supergene Copper-Silver Zone:
15.00 metres from 16.00 metres at 0.54% copper and 18.89g/t silver.
Drill hole RCS-003:
Supergene Copper-Silver Zone:
10.00 metres from 23.00 metres at 0.51% copper and 14.19g/t silver.
Drill hole RCS-004:
Gold-Silver Zone:
3.00 metres from 6.00 metres at 3.02g/t gold and 7.03g/t silver, and
Supergene Copper-Silver Zone:
10.00 metres from 30.00 metres at 0.53% copper and 6.84g/t silver.
Drill hole RCS-005:
Supergene Copper-Silver±Gold Zone:
10.00 metres from 29.00 metres at 1.03% copper, 70.37g/t silver and 0.25/t gold
Drill hole RCS-009:
Supergene Copper-Silver Zone:
27.00 metres from 2.00 metres at 0.96% copper and 21.48g/t silver, including
13.00 metres from 10.00 metres at 1.35% copper and 25.72g/t silver.
Drill hole RCS-053:
Supergene Copper-Silver±Gold Zone:
59.00 metres from 67.00 metres at 0.52% copper, 29.69g/t silver, 0.26g/t gold and 0.41% zinc.
Drill hole RCS-069:
Supergene Copper-Silver Zone:
91.00 metres from 22.00 metres at 0.41% copper and 20.55g/t silver.
It is evident that exploration drill hole results for the New Discovery Zone continue to highlight the extent of near surface
supergene copper-silver±gold, underlying porphyry copper-gold-silver, and high grade gold-silver mineralisation.

2013 Report to Shareholders
Directors’ Report
TRIANGULO
Step out drilling to the north east of NDZ identified a new zone of mineralisation at the Triangulo target zone. Triangulo
hosts a low sulphidation, high grade epithermal gold-silver vein system on the periphery of the NDZ porphyry system. Whilst
the target is at the early stage of drilling assessment, the discovery hole (RCS-083) produced a suitably encouraging
intersection that demonstrates that this target warrants further drilling:
Drill hole RCS-083:
High grade Gold-Silver Zone:
4.00 metres from 156.00 metres at 16.17g/t gold, 8.40g/t silver and 0.15% zinc.
NEW PORPHYRY DISCOVERY
Located to the immediate northeast of the Sabang Hill target, step out reverse circulation drilling met with further success
during the year with the identification of shallow level, porphyry copper-gold mineralisation which the Company refers to at
the present time as the New Porphyry Discovery. The more encouraging aspects of this discovery is its close proximity to
the cluster of discoveries made to date at the Sabang Prospect and the consistency of higher copper and gold grades that
have been returned from initial drilling of this primary copper-gold porphyry. Of additional significance is that the discovery
intersection has been made in the outer propylitic zone of the underlying porphyry system. It is worthy to note that the core
potassic alteration zone has yet to be intersected at this new discovery, a zone typically containing higher copper-gold
grades.
When taken in its full context, completion of one hole and the intersection higher grade copper-gold mineralisation in the
outer alteration (and mineralisation shell) of that porphyry system augurs well for further drilling at this exciting new
discovery.
The discovery intersection obtained for the New Porphyry Discovery target is as follows:
Drill hole RCS-094:
Porphyry Copper-Silver-Gold:
57 metres from 78 metres at 0.66% copper, 0.30g/t gold and 2.64g/t silver.
Hole RCS-083 terminated in mineralisation (0.60% copper, 0.29g/t gold and 6.80g/t silver).
REHABILITATION
In line with its obligation, the Company performed rehabilitation of drill sites and access roads during the year.
The Company’s horticulture nursery provided for planting of approximately 5,500 mature Falcata seedlings on the Sabang
Prospect interspersed with cogon grass and relocated mixed flora species native to the Sabang Prospect area.
The horticulture nursery, implementation and ongoing management of the rehabilitation programme is a Company
sponsored, but community managed and run programme. This forms one of the Company’s community relations initiatives
for the Masapelid Project.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
The Company has continuously and actively engaged in a community relations program aligned to its exploration focus on
the island. Lindian has active skills training and work related education programs in place. In addition, the company has an
active horticulture training program underway. Further, Lindian has been a financial contributor to community programs,
including for example the Sisson diocese, Roman Catholic Church building program.
During the first quarter of 2012-13, and as part of its ongoing and continuing commitment to the community of Masapelid
Island, the Company agreed in conjunction with the joint Barangays (local councils) of Masapelid, to the construction of a
circumferential road around the island. Construction of the circumferential road will result in the first transport infrastructure
being realised on the island and will link and provide year round road access for the island communities. Commencement of
this community infrastructure program is subject to mayoral, governor and congressman endorsement for the province of
Lindian Resources Limited

2013 Report to Shareholders
Directors’ Report
Surigao Del Norte. This is a significant commitment to the people of Masapelid and has confirmed in the minds of the
communities of the island that Lindian is a sound corporate citizen in the Philippines.
OTHER PHILIPPINES PROJECTS
Over the coming months the Company will look to advance the title perfection of Exploration Permit applications
where the Company has option to purchase agreements, progress its Mining Lease Contracts to conversion of
replacement title for the Exciban Project and prepare to conduct exploration activities on the Company’s wholly
owned Del Gallego Project.
GUINEA
Given a focus on the Philippines and market conditions, the Company elected to not commit further expenditure or renew its
rights to the Dinguiraye Project.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
Lindian continues to assess new opportunities in Copper / Gold Projects as they arise.

There were no other executive officers of the Group during the financial years ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012. No
remuneration is performance related. The share options issued in the previous financial year were not subject to a
performance hurdle as these options were issued as a form of retention bonus and incentive package.
There were no alterations to the terms and conditions of options granted as remuneration since their grant date. There were
no forfeitures during the period. No remuneration options were exercised for the year ended 30 June 2013 or for the year
ended 30 June 2012.

consulting fee on a monthly basis. His services may be terminated by either party at any time.
Mr. Scott Funston and Mr. Brian McMaster are paid an annual consulting fee on a monthly basis. Their services may be

basis. Their services may be terminated by either party at any time.

2013 Report to Shareholders
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of Lindian Resources Limited (“Lindian Resources” or “the Company”) is responsible for corporate
governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the
shareholders by who they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
Upon listing, the Company established a set of corporate governance policies and procedures. These were based on the
Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s (the Council’s) “Principles of Good Corporate Governance
and Best Practice Recommendations” (the Recommendations). In accordance with the Council’s recommendations, the
Corporate Governance Statement must now contain certain specific information and must disclose the extent to which the
company has followed the guidelines during the period. Where a recommendation has not been followed, that fact must be
disclosed, together with the reasons for the departure. For further information on corporate governance policies adopted by
the Company, refer to our website: www.lindianresources.com.au.
Structure of the Board
The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of Director held by each Director in office at the date of the
annual report is included in the Directors’ Report. Directors of the Company are considered to be independent when they
are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or
could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
The Board has accepted the following definition of an Independent Director:
“An Independent Director is a Director who is not a member of management, is a Non-executive Director and who:
is not a substantial shareholder (under the meaning of Corporations Law) of the Company or an officer of, or
otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a substantial shareholder of the Company;
has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company
member, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;
is not a principal of a professional adviser to the Company or another Company member;
is not a significant consultant, supplier or customer of the Company or another Company member, or an officer of or
otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a significant consultant, supplier or customer;
has no significant contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director of
the Company;
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 the Company.”
In accordance with the definition of independence above, Mr. Caithness is considered an Independent Director. Accordingly,
a majority of the board is not considered independent.
There are procedures in place, as agreed by the board, to enable Directors to seek independent professional advice on
issues arising in the course of their duties at the Company’s expense. The term in office held by each Director in office at
the date of this report is as follows:

2013 Report to Shareholders
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Nomination Committee
The Board does not have a nomination committee. The Board is of the opinion that due to the nature and size of the
Company, the functions performed by a nomination committee can be adequately handled by the full Board.
When a new director is to be appointed the Board reviews the range of skills, experience and expertise on the board,
identifies its needs and prepares a short-list of candidates with appropriate skills and experience. Where necessary, advice
is sought from independent search consultants.
The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next annual general meeting of the
Company.
Retirement and rotation of Directors are governed by the Corporations Act 2001 and the Constitution of the Company. Each
year one third of the Directors must retire and offer themselves for re-election.
This selection, nomination and appointment process is detailed on the company website.
Audit and Risk Management Committee
The Company does not have an audit committee. The Board is of the opinion that due to the nature and size of the
Company, the functions performed by an audit committee can be adequately handled by the full Board. At such time when
the Company is of sufficient size, a separate Audit and Risk Management Committee will be formed.
It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes
both internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding
of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial and non-financial information. It is
the Board’s responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control of the Company.
Performance
The Board of Lindian Resources conducts its performance review of itself on an ongoing basis throughout the year. The
small size of the company and hands on management style requires an increased level of interaction between directors and
executives throughout the year. Board members meet amongst themselves both formally and informally. The Board
considers that the current approach that it has adopted with regard to the review of its performance provides the best
guidance and value to the Company.
Remuneration
The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of Board members is as follows:
Remuneration of Executive and Non –Executive Directors is reviewed annually by the Board.
Remuneration packages are set at levels intended to attract and retain Directors and Executives capable of
managing the Company’s operations and adding value to the Company.
Non-Executive Directors
Non-Executive Directors receive fees which are determined by the Board within the aggregate limit set by the shareholders
at a General Meeting. All Non-Executive Directors will receive remuneration by way of fees and receive no retirement
benefits excluding statutory superannuation, if applicable. External professional advice will be sought to determine the level
of Directors fees to ensure they are appropriate. The Board will determine the level of fees with reference to other
comparable listed companies determined by size and nature of operations. Directors’ fees should be set at a level to attract
suitably qualified individuals to accept the responsibilities of a Directorship. The issue of options to non-executive directors
is considered an appropriate method of providing sufficient incentive and reward whilst maintaining cash reserves.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Executives
The Executive Officers’ remuneration is considered to properly reflect the person’s duties and responsibilities, and takes
account of remuneration levels across the sector.
Share and Option based remuneration
The Company may issue options to Executives as it is considered an appropriate method of providing sufficient incentive
and reward whilst maintaining cash reserves. Participants in equity-based remuneration plans are not permitted to enter
into any transactions that would limit the economic risk of options or other unvested entitlements.
For details of remuneration paid to Directors and officers for the financial year please refer to the Directors’ Report in these
Financial Statements.
Trading Policy
Trading in Company securities is regulated by the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. The Board makes all
Directors, officers and employees aware on appointment that it is prohibited to trade in the Company’s securities whilst that
Director, officer or employee is in the possession of price sensitive information.
For details of shares held by Directors and officers please refer to the Directors’ Report in these Financial Statements.
Directors are required to report to the Company Secretary any movements in their holdings of Company securities, which
are reported to ASX in the required timeframe prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules.
This Trading Policy can be found on the company website.
Diversity Policy
The company is committed to workplace diversity and to ensuring a diverse mix of skills and talent exists amongst its
directors, officers and employees, to enhance Company performance. The Board has adopted a Diversity Policy which
addresses equal opportunities in the hiring, training and career advancement of directors, officers and employees.
In accordance with this policy, the Board provides the following information pertaining to the proportion of women across the
organisation at the date of this report.

20 2013 Report to Shareholders
Lindian Resources Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2013
1.
Corporate Information
The financial report of Lindian Resources Limited (“Lindian Resources” or “the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”
or “ Consolidated” ) for the year ended 30 June 2013 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on
17 September 2013.
Lindian Resources Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the
Australian Securities Exchange.
The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Lindian Resources Limited, have not been presented within this financial
report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.
The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards
Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting
Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on an accrual 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. Material accounting policies
adopted in preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The presentation currency is Australian dollars.
(b)
Compliance statement
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.
(c)
New accounting standards and interpretations issued but yet effective
The following applicable accounting standards and interpretations have been issued or amended but are not yet effective. These
standards have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013, and no change to the Group’s accounting
policy is required:

AASB 9
Financial Instruments
AASB 9 includes requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial
assets. It was further amended by AASB
2010-7 to reflect amendments to the
accounting for financial 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 described below.

model for managing the financial assets;
(2) the characteristics of the contractual
cash flows.
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. 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.
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)
► 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.
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 2010-10.
AASB 10 establishes a new control model that
applies to all entities. It replaces parts of
AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements dealing with the
accounting for consolidated financial
statements and UIG-112 Consolidation –
Special Purpose Entities.
The new control model broadens the situations
when an entity is considered to be controlled
by another entity and includes new guidance
for applying the model to specific situations,
including when acting as a manager may give
control, the impact of potential voting rights
and when holding less than a majority voting
rights may give control.
Consequential amendments were also made
to other standards via AASB 2011-7.
AASB 12 includes all disclosures relating to an
entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint
arrangements, associates and structures
entities. New disclosures have been
introduced about the judgments 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.

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

Consequential amendments were also made
to other standards via AASB 2011-8.
AASB 124 establishes guidance for disclosure
of related party transactions and outstanding

2011-4 amendment removes the disclosure
requirements for individual key management
personnel. The adoption of these amendments
will remove the duplication of information

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new Standards or Interpretations.
(d)
Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
In the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the
AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
(e)
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Lindian Resources Limited and its subsidiaries as at
30 June each year (‘the Company’).
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that
are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a Company controls another entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent
accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit
and losses resulting from intra-company transactions have been eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and cease to be consolidated from
the date on which control is transferred out of the Company.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting
involves recognising at acquisition date, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any
Lindian Resources Limited
23
2013 Report to Shareholders
Lindian Resources Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2013
non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their
acquisition date fair values.
The difference between the above items and the fair value of the consideration (including the fair value of any pre-existing
investment in the acquiree) is goodwill or a discount on acquisition.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity
transaction.
(f)
Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional and presentation currency of
Lindian Resources Limited is Australian dollars. The functional currency of the overseas subsidiary is Philippine Peso.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
(iii) Group entities
The results and financial position of all the Company entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy)
that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate
at the date of that statement of financial position;
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange
rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in
which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are taken to foreign
currency translation reserve.
When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such
exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, as part of the gain or loss on sale where
applicable.
(g)
Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses.
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. Repairs and maintenance expenditure is charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period
in which it is incurred.

Lindian Resources Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2013
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the 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
Plant and equipment
25% – 33%
Furniture, fixtures and fittings
Computer and software
Motor vehicles
15 %
33 %
25 %
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position
date.
Derecognition
Additions of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from
its use or disposal.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(h)
Impairment of non financial assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable
amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for
an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets of
the Group and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for
impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable
amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to
continuing operations are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment
losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously
recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is
increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is
recognised in profit or loss.
After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less
any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(i)
Exploration expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest.
Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure, but does not include
general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest.
Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining
operation.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided that one of the following
conditions is met:
such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or,
alternatively, by its sale; or
exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable
assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in
relation to the area are continuing.
Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is written off. Furthermore, the directors regularly review the
carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to be recoverable.
Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired, is
accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity.
Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not expected to
be recovered.
When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off.
Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest/mineral resource unless the Group’s rights of tenure to that
area of interest are current.
(j)
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30 – 90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an
allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when
identified.
(k)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the statement of financial position include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other
short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown as current
liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash and cash equivalents as described above and bank overdrafts.

Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2013
(l)
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to
any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money, and where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(m)
Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are measured at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be
paid in the future for goods and services received that are unpaid, whether or not billed to the Group.
(n)
Income Tax
Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at balance date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability, excluding a business
combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
No deferred income tax will be recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries if the
timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not
reverse in the near future.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled.
Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be
charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have
been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance date and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future
assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and only recognised to the extent that sufficient
future assessable income is expected to be obtained.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Lindian Resources Limited
27
2013 Report to Shareholders
Lindian Resources Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2013
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation
authority.
(o)
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options
are deducted from equity.
(p)
Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue is
capable of being reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest income
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial
asset.
(q)
Segment Information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Lindian Resources Limited.
(r)
Basic earnings per share
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any
costs of servicing equity other than dividends, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
elements.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the Company, adjusted for:
•
•
•
the costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been
recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of
potential ordinary shares;
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus
elements.
(s)
Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not
recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusi ve of
GST.
Lindian Resources Limited
28
2013 Report to Shareholders
Lindian Resources Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2013
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Tax Office is included as part of receivables or payables
in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(t)
Share based payment transactions
The Group provides benefits to individuals acting as, and providing services similar to employees (including Directors) of the
Group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby individuals render services in exchange for shares or rights
over shares (‘equity settled transactions’).
There is currently an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) in place, which provides benefits to Directors and individuals
providing services similar to those provided by an employee.
The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they
are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes formula, taking into account the terms and conditions upon
which the instruments were granted.
In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price
of the shares of Lindian Resources Limited (‘market conditions’).
The cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in
which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the
award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent
to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Group, will
ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the
likelihood of the market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair
value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative
expense recognised at the beginning and end of the period.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market
condition.
Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been
modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as
measured at the date of the modification.
Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not
yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a
modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
The cost of equity-settled transactions with non-employees is measured by reference to the fair value of goods and services
received unless this cannot be measured reliably, in which case the cost is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments granted.

Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the
current financial year.
(v)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, includin g
whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and
evaluation asset through sale.
Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future
technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental
restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will
reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.
In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage
which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent that it
is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, this will reduce profits and net assets in the
period in which this determination is made.
Share based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity
instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes formula, taking into
account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.
3.
Segment Information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which involves mining exploration for gold
and copper. All of the Group’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief
Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment.
Revenues of approximately Nil (2012 - Nil) are derived from a single external customer.
Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from
this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole. Total revenue earned by the Group is generated
in Australia and all of the Group’s non-current assets reside in the Philippines.

Financial Risk Management
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of deposits with banks.
The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting
policies to these financial statements, are as follows:

The board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the consolidated group in meeting its financial targets, while
minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of future cash flow
requirements.
Specific Financial Risk Exposure and Management
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
(a) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.
Lindian Resources Limited
40
2013 Report to Shareholders
Lindian Resources Limited
Notes to the financial statements at and for the year ended 30 June 2013
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash facilities to meet the operating requirements of the business
and investing excess funds in highly liquid short term investments. The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with
the Board of Directors.
Alternatives for sourcing the Group’s future capital needs include the cash position and the issue of equity instruments. These
alternatives are evaluated to determine the optimal mix of capital resources for our capital needs. We expect that, absent a
material adverse change in a combination of our sources of liquidity, present levels of liquidity along with future capital
raisings will be adequate to meet our expected capital needs.
Maturity analysis for financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 all financial
liabilities are contractually matured within 60 days.
(b)
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of
financial instruments.
The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash and term
deposits. The Group manages the risk by investing in short term deposits.

A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and
long term Australian Dollar interest rates. The change in basis points is derived from a review of historical movements and
management’s judgement of future trends. The analysis was performed on the same basis in 2012.
(c) Credit Risk Exposures
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the
Group to incur a financial loss. The Group’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts on the statement of financial
position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties.

(b) Employee share based payment plan
The Group has established an employee share option plan (ESOP). The objective of the ESOP is to assist in the recruitment,
reward, retention and motivation of employees of Lindian Resources Limited. Under the ESOP, the Directors may invite
individuals acting in a manner similar to employees to participate in the ESOP and receive options. An individual may receive
the options or nominate a relative or associate to receive the options. The plan is open to executive officers, nominated
consultants and employees of Lindian Resources Limited.
The fair value at grant date of options granted during the reporting period was determined using the Black Scholes option
pricing model, that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant
date and expected price volatility of the underlying share and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
No options were granted under ESOP during the financial year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
LINDIAN RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Lindian Resources Limited, which comprises the statement
of financial position as at 30 June 2013, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the
company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(b), the directors also state, in accordance with
Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant
ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial report 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 entity'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
opinions.
