Minbos Resources Limited is an exploration company focused on the development of phosphate bearing ore within the Cabinda Province of Angola. 5 | P a g e Directors’ Report Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 GROUP OVERVIEW REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 4. (a) Minbos Resources Limited is an ASX-listed exploration and development company focused on phosphate ore within the Cabinda Province of Angola. Through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the Company is exploring over 200,000ha of highly prospective ground hosting phosphate bearing sediments. Minbos is currently focusing on the development of the high grade Cacata deposit that forms part of the Cabinda Project. Minbos announced a merger with joint venture partner Petril Phosphates Ltd (Petril) in December 2016. On completion of the merger Minbos will own three 3 phosphates projects in Angola. In addition to then holding 100% of the Cabinda Project, the Company will also add to its portfolio the Lucunga and Pedro de Feitico projects in the Zaire Province of Northern Angola. The Company’s strategy is to specifically target the exploration and development of low cost fertiliser-based commodities in order to tap into the growing global demand for fertilisers. Phosphate is an essential component in certain agricultural fertilisers, with the market supported by the increasing global demand for food and bio- fuel products. For more information, visit www.minbos.com. (b) HIGHLIGHTS & SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS The highlights and significant changes in state of affairs during and subsequent to the end of the financial year include: Merger with Angolan JV Partner – Subsequent to the initial announcement on 5 December 2016, on 17 May 2017 Minbos executed a definitive binding share sale agreement to acquire 100% of Petril. On completion of the merger with Petril, Minbos will own 100% of the Cabinda Project and also two other phosphate projects in Angola - a majority interest in the Lucunga project which is a joint venture with minority partner Haifa Chemicals and Pedro de Feitico (100%). On 8 August 2017, Minbos issued its notice of general meeting to shareholders, with Resolution 1 being the approval of the acquisition of Petril Phosphates Limited. The meeting was held on 12 September 2017, at which Minbos’ shareholders approved the acquisition. Exercise of options raises $3.85 million - Minbos’ largest shareholder Green Services Innovation exercised their 385 million options in December 2016 at 1 cent per option, leading to proceeds of $3.85 million. Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) for Cabinda Project - During the financial year Minbos completed phase 1 of the BFS for the Cabinda Project. The primary objective was to evaluate alternative beneficiation methods. Ausenco (appointed by Minbos on 27 July 2016 to deliver the BFS for the Cabinda Project) has concluded that process guarantees can be provided for Dry and Wet Beneficiation. The key comparative between the two routes are outlined below in section (c) PROJECTS. Project Milestone - During the financial year the Joint Venture hosted a Cornerstone Ceremony at the Cacata project marking the transition from the exploration phase to the exploitation phase of the project. The cornerstone was laid by the Minister of Mines and Geology, Manuel Francisco Monteiro de Queiroz, and the Governor of Cabinda, Aldina Matilde Barros da Lomba Katembo. Antonio Mota represented the Joint Venture, which was also attended by Minbos director Mr Catulichi of Sofosa, Petril Phosphates Limited shareholders, representatives of Porto de Caio, and several local engineering companies. Minbos was also pleased to attend a Cornerstone Ceremony at the Lucunga Project in the Zaire Province hosted by Petril. Lucunga is one of the two projects in Zaire Province being acquired as part of the Merger with Petril. Preparation of Market Samples - KEMWorks was engaged during the financial year to prepare the market samples from multiple tonnes of material produced in the bulk test work campaign late last year. Based in Florida, KEMWorks was founded in 1995 by principals who had all worked for major contractors and phosphate production companies. KEMWorks specialize in Phosphate Project Development for the phosphate mining, beneficiation, and fertilizer industries. The KEMWorks team is one of the most experienced in the industry covering the full range of a phosphate projects including geology, mining, beneficiation, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, fertilizers, and related products including fluorides, uranium and rare earths. 6 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report Appointment of Manager Geology and Business Development - On 19 September 2016 the Company appointed Rebecca Morgan as Manager Geology and Business Development. Ms Morgan is a qualified geologist and mining engineer with 15 years’ experience in the mining industry. She has extensive knowledge in dealing in West Africa across several commodities and can speak Portuguese. Appointment of General Manager Marketing and Sales - On 1 February 2017 the Company appointed Mike Erwin as General Manager Marketing and Sales. Mr Erwin has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the global phosphates industry with more than 30 years’ global experience in senior management roles including positions with Minemakers Limited (now Avenira Limited) and fertilizer trading companies in the Middle East. PROJECTS (c) Minbos holds a significant concession area of circa 400,000 ha in the Congo Basin running from Cabinda, Angola to Western DRC. Minbos’ key project in Africa is the high value Cabinda Phosphate Project which is a resource mix of high and low grade, tonnage and with substantial exploration upside. ➢ RESOURCES Minbos has delineated a substantial resource of 391.3Mt @ 9.2% P2O5. Within this resource, two high grade projects have been identified at the Cacata and Chivovo Deposits. A summary of JORC resources is shown in Table 1 below. Table 1: Mineral Resource Estimate as at 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 (There has been no change in the financial year) Deposit Cabinda, Angola Cacata Mongo Tando Chivovo Chibuete Total Category Measured Indicated Inferred Indicated Inferred Indicated Inferred Tonnes (Mt) Grade (% P2O5) Cut-Off (% P2O5) 5.0 10.2 11.8 24.8 184.0 6.5 149.0 391.3 23.0 25.3 8.8 11.5 8.0 20.5 8.3 9.2 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 ➢ CABINDA PROJECT Overview The Cabinda licence area covers an area of approximately 200,000 ha and all the known and historically explored phosphate Prospects in Cabinda, Angola. In 2015 the Angolan Ministry of Mines and Geology (MGM) issued two new licence for the Cabinda project. The first licence (014/04/09/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) is for the Cacata deposit and the second licence (015/01/10/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) for the Chivovo, Chibuete, Ueca, Cambota and Mongo Tando Deposits. Both licences have been issued for a five-year period respectively expiring on 25 September 2020 and 14 October 2020 and are renewable for a further two years. The new licences replace the previous exploration permit (006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM.2010). 7 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report The Cabinda project licences are shown in figure 1 below. Figure 1: Map of Cabinda Project Licences 8 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report During the financial year Minbos completed phase 1 of the BFS for the Cabinda Project. The primary objective was to evaluate alternative beneficiation methods. Ausenco (appointed by Minbos on 27 July 2016 to deliver the BFS for the Cabinda Project) has concluded that process guarantees can be provided for Dry and Wet Beneficiation. The key comparative between the two routes were identified as: • Dry Beneficiation has a U$25M upfront capex advantage because a wet tailings circuit and tailings disposal facility are not required. • Wet Beneficiation has a 3-5 year mine life advantage because it can treat lower grade ores. • Dry Beneficiation produced a higher-grade product at a higher recovery because it is treating better grade ores. • Operating costs for both routes were similar. Mine Optimisation Studies showed that infill drilling will allow the search parameters and geological domaining of the resource model to be improved and as a result it is expected the proportion of higher grade (>30% P2O5) ore estimated within the existing resource envelope will increase. Process Flowsheet Development concluded that the Dry and Wet Beneficiation flow sheets are complementary. Both Dry and Wet require a Grizzly Sizer block at the front end and a Product Drying block at the back end. A Dry Beneficiation plant can easily be designed to allow the subsequent inclusion of a Wet Scrubbing and Screening block between the ore feed and product blocks. In light of these positive outcomes from Mine Optimisation and Flowsheet Development, Phase 2 of the BFS will be designed to capture the upfront capex advantages of Dry Beneficiation and the longer mine life benefits of Wet Beneficiation. Following the completion of phase 1 of the BFS, Ausenco has put forward a proposal to complete the BFS from Australia, using Mr John Riordan as Project Manager. Ausenco will oversee the entire study and will coordinate the sub-contractor input covering; • Definitive engineering design and equipment supply package from a single provider, • Environmental and Social Impact reporting by Prime Resources, • Hydrology and Geotechnical reporting by Golder & Associates, and • Mining and Geological consultants to be appointed in Australia. Minbos will be responsible for securing key service contracts which will form the basis of the BFS including; • Construction, • Mining, • Product transport, • Port Services, and • Energy supplies. It is envisaged that at least two of the JV employees in Angola will transfer to Minbos and continue their responsibility of Government Approvals and Compliance and Procurement and Logistics. Minbos and Petril have been active on the ground in Angola and identified several suitable candidates for the Construction, Mining and Product Support. Environmental approval commenced during the financial year with the gathering of base line climate and stream data. A lidar survey was completed during the financial year and will provide the detailed topography necessary for the final site environmental approvals. A 5000-metre drill program has been planned for the Cacata deposit and expressions of interest have been received from a number of drillers for the supply and/or operation of a sonic drill program. The sonic drill method is ideally suited to sedimentary rock phosphate because it provides a non-destructive sampling of the material, with excellent core recovery and fast drilling rates. Sonic rigs are employed by several companies in Angola on alluvial diamond exploration. 9 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report Port facilities The proposed new Porto de Caio Deep Water port is approximately 60-km by road from Cacata (refer Figure 2 below). Access to a deep-water port could significantly reduce capital cost on the Cacata high grade project. In July 2015, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Porto de Caio to secure port access for the Cabinda project. The LOI provides Minbos with initial port capacity to export no less than 800,000 tons of rock phosphate per annum. The parties have agreed to enter into a formal binding port services agreement which will include the following: • Term – Minimum of 10 years with an option to extend for a further 10 years; • Volume – No less than 800,000 tons per annum of rock phosphate being exported; • Berth capacity for approximately 26 vessels per year; • Wharf area to accommodate all of Minbos’ storage and equipment requirements; and • Minbos being allocated 5 hectares of working area in the Port of Caio Industrial area. In the December 2016 quarter Ausenco completed its evaluation of Porto de Caio and concluded that a rotating container system offers the most economic and flexible solution for Cacata. Porto de Caio are targeting the first quay availability before the end of 2018.

The Lucunga Project like the Cabinda Project consists of multiple deposits, including Coluge Tando, Lendiacolo, Quindonacaxa, Coco Grande. A synergistic strategy for the development of all the projects is being compiled. As part of this a 3000-metre drill program has been prepared for the undrilled Pedra Project.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW 8. A Operations Minbos is a phosphate exploration company which during the financial year operated predominately in Angola with a focus to acquire, explore, evaluate and exploit phosphate deposits, and explore prospective tenements for other minerals. The Group creates value for shareholders, through exploration activities which develop and quantify phosphate assets. Once an asset has been developed and quantified within the framework of the JORC guidelines the Company may elect to move to production, to extract and refine ore which is then sold as a primary product. During the financial year Minbos completed phase 1 of the BFS for the Cabinda Project. The primary objective was to evaluate alternative beneficiation methods. Ausenco has concluded that process guarantees can be provided for Dry and Wet Beneficiation. Further detail is provided in the previous section 4 (c) PROJECTS. B Financial Performance & Financial Position The financial results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017 are: 13 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16Change$$% Cash and cash equivalents2,603,5641,606,93462%Net assets17,499,26516,467,9886%Revenue59,8059,957501%Net loss after tax(2,202,012)(1,654,054)-33%Loss per share(0.001)(0.001)0%Financial Performance / Position Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report Financial Performance & Financial Position The financial result for the year ended 30 June 2017 is a net loss after tax of $2,202,012 (2016: $1,654,054). At 30 June 2017, the Group’s net assets had increased by 6% compared to the previous financial year. This increase was largely due to the capital placement which the company completed in December 2016, raising $3.85 million from the exercise of $0.01 (1 cent) options by Green Services Innovations Ltd. The funds raised during the financial year have permitted the Company to: • Progress the BFS; • Commence hiring of senior staff for the development of the project; • Arrange samples and testing of product for future supply to prospective customers; • Further market the company including contributions to the local Angolan project ceremony; • Meet the costs of progressing the merger with Petril; • Progress plans for further exploration drilling, in particular infill drilling to upgrade the resource definition at the Cacata deposit; and • Develop relationships and planning around port options, logistics and transport. The Group is creating value for shareholders by asset development through its exploration expenditure and currently has no revenue generating operations. Revenue is generated from interest income from funds held on deposit. Interest income increased from the prior year as a result of the increase in cash and cash equivalents from the capital placement completed during the year. C Business Strategies and Prospects for future financial years The Group actively evaluates the prospects of the Cabinda project as the BFS progresses. These updates on the BFS are announced via the ASX platform for shareholders information. The Group then assesses the continued strategy and further asset development. There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Group and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Group and the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company’s shares. The Board reviews the risks of the Group and the action plans to address these risks on a regular basis. a) Operating Risks The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining. In addition, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment. b) Environmental Risks The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of Angola, Australia and the DRC. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws. c) Economic General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. 14 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report d) Market conditions Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. general economic outlook; introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; interest rates and inflation rates; changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; the demand for, and supply of, capital; and terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. e) Additional requirements for capital The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income, the Company will require further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its development programmes as the case may be. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. f) Speculative investment Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether invest. The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s shares. DIVIDENDS 9. No dividend has been paid during the financial year and no dividend is recommended for the financial year. EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 10.

KMP of Minbos comprise the Board of Directors, the CEO and the CFO. The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its KMP. To prosper the Company must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled Directors and Executives. The Group’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. No remuneration consultants were employed during the financial year. B Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals Remuneration of Directors is currently set by the Board of Directors. The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee at this point in the Group's development, nor has the Board engaged the services of an external remuneration consultant. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Group renders this impractical. The Board is primarily responsible for: • The over-arching executive remuneration framework; • Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives (the executive team), including key performance indicators and performance hurdles; • Remuneration levels of executives, and • Non-executive director fees. Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company. ➢ Non-Executive Remuneration Structure The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2010 Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’) held on 30 November 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of $300,000 per year (in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement that accompanied the Notice of Meeting). The Board will not seek any increase for the Non-Executive Director pool at the 2017 AGM. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is based on fees approved by the Board of Directors and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Non-Executive Directors do not receive retirement benefits but are able to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy. The remuneration of Non-Executives is detailed in Table 1a and Table 1b, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”. 18 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report ➢ Non-Executive Remuneration Approvals The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, sets the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, subject to shareholder approval. Within this pre-approved aggregate remuneration pool, fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are approved by the Board of Directors in the absence of the Remuneration Committee and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Remuneration may also include an invitation to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy. The nature and amount of remuneration is collectively considered by the Board of Directors with reference to relevant employment conditions and fees commensurate to a company of similar size and level of activity, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of high performing Directors. ➢ Executive Remuneration Structure The nature and amount of remuneration of executives are assessed on a periodic basis with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high performing Executives. The main objectives sought when reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has: • Coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain Executives; • Executives who will create value for shareholders; • Competitive remuneration offered benchmarked against the external market; and • Fair and responsible rewards to Executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the Executives and the general pay environment. The remuneration of Executives is detailed in Table 1a and Table 1b, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”. ➢ Executive Remuneration Approvals The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and aligned with market practice. Executive contracts are reviewed annually by the Board, in the absence of a Remuneration Committee, for their approval. The process consists of a review of company, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally and externally and, where appropriate, external advice independent of management. Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be aligned with the Company’s vision, values and overall business objectives. Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be designed to motivate management to pursue the Company’s long term growth and success and demonstrate a clear relationship between the Company’s overall performance and the performance of executives. 19 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report Remuneration & Performance C The following table shows the gross revenue, losses and share price of the Group as at 30 June for the last five financial years: Relationship between Remuneration and Company Performance Given the current phase of the Company’s development the Board does not consider earnings during the current and previous financial years when determining, and in relation to, the nature and amount of remuneration of KMP. Short Term Incentive Package There were no short term incentive based payments made during the financial year (2016: $nil). Long Term Incentive Package Employee Share Plan: There were no Employee Share Plan shares approved or issued during the financial year (2016: nil). Options: The Board considers that for each KMP who receive options, their experience in the Mining industry will greatly assist the Company in achieving its strategy and objectives. The Board is of the opinion that the expiry date and exercise price of the options currently on issue to the Directors, other KMP and its Executives is a sufficient, long term incentive to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Subsequently, the issue of options is not linked to performance conditions because by setting the option price at a level above the current share price at the time the options are granted, provides incentive for management to improve the Group’s performance. During the 2017 financial year there were no employee or director options issued or exercised. During the 2016 financial year the company had 118,500,000 options on issue to KMP. These options lapsed on expiry during the 2017 financial year. 20 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-1630-Jun-1530-Jun-1430-Jun-13Revenue ($)59,8059,9573,0522,33319,413Net loss after tax ($)(2,202,012)(1,654,054)(2,196,652)(2,680,271)(6,026,830)Share Price ($)0.0050.0040.0050.0020.020 Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Directors’ Report Details of Remuneration D During the financial year ended 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 KMP received short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, share-based payments and employee benefits expenses.

The nomination committee should be structured so that it: • has at least three members • consists of a majority of independent directors • is chaired by an independent director, • disclose the charter and the members of the committee; and • disclose the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances The Company is currently not of a relevant size that requires the formation of a separate Nomination Committee. The Board has developed a nomination committee charter and the matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors. The charter is included in the Company’s corporate governance plan which is available on the Company’s website www.minbos.com. The Company does not comply with ASX Principle 2.1 as the majority of the Board is not independent and the Board performs the role of the committee. The Company intends to seek out and appoint additional independent directors to the Board when the size and scale of the Company justify and warrant their inclusion, for the time being the Company maintains a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience. When a board vacancy becomes available, the Board will consider the existing mix of skills of the existing Board and define the skill set that will be sought in candidates to fill the vacancy. Directors will review a range of suitable candidates and may obtain the services of a reputable recruitment agent to assist with candidate selection. The most appropriate candidate will be appointed to the role until the director is elected by members at the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Relationships that the Board will take into consideration when assessing independence are whether a Director: • is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company; • is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board; • has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; • is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or • has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director. All 5 directors are Non-Executive Directors but only Mr Bill Oliver is considered to be an independent director. Mr Oliver has been a director of Minbos since September 2013. 2.4 A majority of the board of the Company should be independent directors The Company does not currently comply with this recommendation as only one of the 5 directors Mr Bill Oliver is regarded as an independent director. The Company currently maintains a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience, however, is aware of the importance of having a Board with a majority of its directors being independent.

In addition, Mr Wall is a partner at Steinepreis Paganin Lawyers and Consultants that provides legal services to the Company. Mr Domingos Catulichi is a security holder and director of Sociedade de Fosfatos de Angola (Sofosa).

Mr Wall is not an independent director.

CORPORATE INFORMATION Minbos Resources Limited (referred to as ‘Minbos’ or the ‘Company’ or ‘Parent Entity’) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the Corporate Directory of the Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2017 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Consolidated Entity’ or the ‘Group’). The Group is primarily involved in phosphate exploration in Africa. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Minbos Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 26 September 2017. (a) Compliance with IFRS The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). (b) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated. (c) Going Concern For the year ended 30 June 2017 the group recorded a loss of $2,202,012, net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,410,072 and had net working capital of $2,366,107. Furthermore, the directors have prepared a cash flow forecast which indicates that the entity would be required to raise funds to provide additional working capital and to continue to fund further development of its Cabinda project through its associate entity and its operational activities. The ability of the group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through capital raising to fund its ongoing commitments. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the entity’s working capital requirements as at the date of this report. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis for the following reasons: • On completion of the Petril Phosphate acquisition (merger), funds of up to $2m may be expected if the vendors (Petril Shareholders) subscribe for the conditional shares. • The Company’s major shareholders have indicated they will continue to support future equity raisings, plus discussions with stock brokers and debt and equity funds indicate funds are available for projects of this nature. Should the group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the group not continue as a going concern. 44 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (i) Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Minbos Resources Limited (‘Company’ or ‘Parent Entity’) as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Minbos Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively. (ii) Associates Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associates. Cost includes equity contribution and loan advances (interest free with no set term of repayment). Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the consolidated entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. (iii) Changes in ownership interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any differences between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Minbos Resources Limited. When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. 45 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 4. (i) Functional and presentation currency in Australian dollars. The functional and These consolidated financial statements are presented presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars (AUD). The functional currency of the subsidiaries are United States dollars (USD) and South African Rand (ZAR). (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 profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investments in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income or other expenses. (iii) Group companies The results and financial position of foreign operations (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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect 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 in other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. 5. KEY JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the Group. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes: 46 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (i) Note 16: Net Investment in Associate - The group assesses whether there is objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired by reference to one or more events that occurred during a reporting period that would have an impact on the estimated future cashflow of the investment. This includes the assessment of whether facts and circumstances (as detailed in note 17) suggest that the Cabinda project held in the associate could be impaired together with other factors such as resource estimate. Phosphate consensus prices are considered in determining whether conditions exist to suggest that the recoverable amount of the investment is lower than its carrying value. During the period, CRU was engaged to complete a market development and valuation study which supports the carrying value of the project. When there are indicators of impairment under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the investment will be tested for impairment under AASB 136 Impairment of non-financial assets. As at 30 June 2017 there were no internal and external indicators to suggest that the investment is impaired. (ii) Note 17: Exploration and evaluation expenditure - The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 17. If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploitation or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. The Company incurred exploration expenditure on the Cabinda project of $732,421 (2016: $343,934), which was reclassified through the profit or loss due to tenure being held by the associate and not Minbos directly. This exploration expenditure is in addition to what was accounted for through the Joint Venture with Petril (refer note 16 Investment in Associate). 6. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements. 7. REVENUE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Revenue Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent that is probable that the economic benefits to flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest Income Interest income is recognised when the Company gains control of the right to receive the interest payment. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax. 47 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Other revenueInterest revenue59,805 9,957 59,805 9,957 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8. EXPENSES Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 SEGMENT INFORMATION 9. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer. The Group operates only in one reportable segment being predominately in the area of phosphate mineral exploration in Angola, within Africa. The Board considers its business operations in phosphate mineral exploration to be its primary reporting function. Results are analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. Consequently revenue, profit, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are reflected in this financial report. 48 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Administration expensesAdvertising and marketing expenses95,949 18,502 Compliance and regulatory expenses227,742 158,599 Computer expenses15,118 6,306 Consulting and corporate expenses209,114 63,108 Provision for doubtful debts(1,307) 1,500 Rent expense71,180 70,951 Travel and accommodation expenses95,631 17,893 Other administration expenses123,855 29,736 837,282 366,595 Personnel expenses and director feesWages and salaries, including superannuation547,948 376,952 Director fees and other benefits144,000 118,355 Employee share plan expense (Refer Note 24)5,803 43,741 Other employee expenses29,851 2,370 727,602 541,418 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 10. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 The Group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $8,746,797 (tax effected at 30%, $2,624,039) as at 30 June 2017 (2016: $7,320,877 (tax effected at 30%, $2,196,263)). In view of the Group's trading position, the Directors have not included this tax benefit in the Group's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. A tax benefit will only be recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if: (a) The Consolidated Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised; (b) The Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and (c) No changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity from utilising the benefits. 49 | P a g e (a) Numerical reconciliation of accounting losses to income tax expense30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Accounting loss before income tax(2,202,012) (1,654,054) At the entity's Australian statutory income tax rate of 30% (2016: 30%)(643,507) (478,681) At the entity's DRC statutory income tax rate of 30% (2016: 30%)(9,367) (3,847) At the entity's South African statutory income tax rate of 28% (2016: 28%)(7,138) (3,520) Adjusted for tax effect of the following amounts:Non-deductible / taxable items240,607 136,544 Non-taxable / deductible items468 (39,533) Prior year adjustment(44,061) 146,960 Income tax benefits not brought to account 462,998 242,077 Income tax expense / (benefit)- - A reconciliation between income tax expense and the accounting loss before income tax multiplied by the entity's applicable income tax rate is as follows:(b) Recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities30-Jun-1730-Jun-16Deferred tax liabilities$$Investment in associateOpening balance3,935,637 3,935,637 Charges / (credited) to income- - Closing balance3,935,637 3,935,637 Total deferred tax liability recognised3,935,637 3,935,637 (c) Deferred tax assets and liabilities not brought to account30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$On income tax account:Carried forward tax losses2,624,039 2,196,263 Deductible temporary differences18,985 40,849 Unrecognised deferred tax assets2,643,024 2,237,112 The directors estimate that the potential deferred tax assets and liabilities carried forward but not brought to account at year end at the Australian corporate tax rate of 30% are made up as follows: Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Current taxes Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred taxes Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurements also reflect the manner in which management expects to recover or settle that 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. Current 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 legally enforceable right of set-off exists, 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 the future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. 50 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 11. EARNINGS PER SHARE (a) Basic loss per share The calculation of basic loss per share at 30 June 2017 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $2,202,012 (2016: $1,654,054) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2017 of 2,289,756,944 (2016: 1,517,735,708) calculated as follows: RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year. (b) Diluted loss per share Potential ordinary shares are not considered dilutive, thus diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 51 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16Net loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Group ($)(2,202,012)(1,654,054)Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basis per share (No) 2,289,756,944 1,517,735,708 Continuing operations- Basic loss per share ($)(0.001)(0.001) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 12.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 (i) Other receivables On 5 December 2012 Minbos signed a binding loan agreement with Robert McCrae (former Chief Executive Officer) to repay his outstanding loan by 31 May 2013 and provide Minbos with security over 1,500,000 of the Company’s shares for the outstanding loan. At 30 June 2017 the loan had not been repaid, the Company therefore made a provision against the unrecoverable portion of the loan. The outstanding balance at 30 June 2017 was $7,500 (2016: $6,000) being the value of the 1,500,000 Minbos shares held as security at 30 June 2017. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Trade receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 14 days. Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 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 taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Other receivables Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. Other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. Based on the credit history, it is expected that these other balances will be received when due. Impairment of assets Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 53 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Trade receivables- 191 Other receivables (i)7,500 6,000 Indirect taxes receivable22,020 11,415 Prepayments12,007 5,969 Deposits- 59 Accrued interest4,076 5,635 45,603 29,269 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 14. OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 During the previous financial year, the Company provided a US$ denominated short-term loan of US$250,000 ($335,981) at an interest rate of 10% to joint venture partner Petril for their share of a cash call. On 14 July 2016 Petril repaid the short-term loan and the interest. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT The Group classifies its other financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the other financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its other financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, net of any impairment losses in the Parent entity’s financial statements. 15.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self- constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a work condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components). Subsequent costs The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as an expense as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income using a straight line method over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: • Motor vehicles: • Computer equipment: • Furniture & Fittings: 5 years 3 years 6 to 10 years The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reviewed at each financial year end and if appropriate, adjusted. 55 | P a g e $$$$$Year ended 30 June 2016Opening net book amount4,668 3,208 54 10,405 18,335 Additions- 851 - - 851 Disposals(1,044) (220) (48) (10,993) (12,305) Foreign exchange translation263 - (6) 588 845 Depreciation charge(3,887) (1,374) - - (5,261) Closing net book amount- 2,465 - - 2,465 At 30 June 2016Cost- 4,423 - - 4,423 Accumulated depreciation- (1,958) - - (1,958) Net book amount- 2,465 - - 2,465 Motor VehicleComputer EquipmentFurniture & FittingsTotalOther Fixed Assets Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 16. NET INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE As part of the acquisition of Tunan Mining Limited in the 2011 financial year, Minbos acquired a 50% interest in Mongo Tando Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Isles. By virtue of holding less than 50% of the voting rights the entity has been accounted for as an investment in an associate. The Cabinda project consist of two licences. The first licence (014/04/09/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) is for the Cacata deposit and the second licence (015/01/10/T.P/ANG.MGM.2015) for the Chivovo, Chibuete, Ueca, Cambota and Mongo Tando Deposits. Both licences have been issued for a five year period respectively expiring on 25 September 2020 and 14 October 2020 and are renewable for a further two years. The new licences replace the previous exploration permit (006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM.2010). The issue of the licences were preceded by Minbos and its 50% Joint Venture Partner Petril Phosphates Ltd (JV partners) signing 2 Mining Investment Agreements in December 2014 with the Angolan Ministry of Mines and Geology (MGM). A presidential decree was issued on 8 June 2015 confirming that the Cabinda project has been approved and instructing Angolan Ministries to provide all the infrastructure and support that the JV partners requires for the project. Minbos and Petril are in the process of obtaining National Private Investment of Angola (ANIP) approval to transfer the shares to Mongo Tando Limited BVI. Per the shareholders agreement, the Company has the right to explore the Cabinda Project. The signed contracts with MGM also covers the mining phase of the Cabinda project. On completion of the Environmental Impact and Economic Viability Study the issue of a mining licence can be requested. The mining licence will be valid for thirty five years, renewable for successive periods of ten years.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Exploration and evaluation expenditure, which are intangible costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either: (i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or (ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if one or more of the following facts and circumstances exist: (i) the period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed. (ii) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned. (iii) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area. (iv) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full, from successful development or by sale. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mineral property and development assets within plant and equipment. 58 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Carrying amount of exploration and evaluation expenditure- 34,229 Movement reconciliationBalance at the beginning of the financial year34,229 33,629 Additions - Kanzi project and Australian tenements31,845 41,057 Impairment - Kanzi project (licences expired during February 2017)(31,222)(40,457)Impairment - Australian project (licences expired during financial year)(34,852)- Balance at the end of the financial year- 34,229 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 18. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 (i) Of the prior year balance, $20,154 relates to the Angolan Services Agreement with Sofosa a Company which Mr Catulichi (Non-Executive Director) is a shareholder and Director. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. For trade and other payables, the fair value is approximate to their carrying value amount, due to their short-term nature. 19. PROVISIONS RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Provisions are recognised when: - - - the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; it is probably that resources will be expended to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Employee Benefits Short-term employee benefits Provision is made for the Company’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled. A provision is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect 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, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 59 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Trade creditors113,116 23,562 Accruals (i)34,378 41,892 Superannuation payable16,229 27,439 PAYG payable17,495 11,388 181,218 104,281 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Provision for annual leave60,312 39,676 Provision for longer term employee retention bonuses41,530 - 101,842 39,676 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 20. CONTRIBUTED EQUITY (a) Issued and fully paid Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Ordinary shares Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proposed winding up of the company in proportion to the number and amount paid on the share hold.

(c) Capital risk management The Group's objectives when managing capital are to: • safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and • maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Given the stage of the Company’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The net equity of the Company is equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange. 60 | P a g e $No.$No.Ordinary shares37,078,599 2,458,505,660 33,240,544 2,073,547,651 37,078,599 2,458,505,660 33,240,544 2,073,547,651 30-Jun-1630-Jun-17ORDINARY SHARESDateQuantityIssue price$Balance 30 June 20151,367,149,88129,733,200Shares issued in lieu of director fees (i)18/12/20159,075,0000.00436,300 Placement (ii)23/02/2016268,000,0000.0051,340,000 Placement (ii)17/05/2016412,363,7030.0052,061,819 Shares issued in lieu of outstanding fees (iii)17/05/201616,959,067 0.00584,795 Cost of placements- - - (15,570) Balance 30 June 20162,073,547,65133,240,544Issue of shares via exercise of options (iv)07/12/2016384,958,009 0.013,849,580 Equity costs- - - (11,525) Balance 30 June 20172,458,505,66037,078,599 Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT 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 for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity. 21.

EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN RESERVE (a) Fair value of employee shares granted during the year In the 2013 financial year the Board implemented an employee share plan to deliver remuneration in the form of equity in Minbos Resources Limited which, under the Minbos Board’s discretion, may be awarded from time to time. The employee share plan was approved at the Company’s general meeting on 14 March 2013 and the purpose is to: • Support employee retention; • Enhance employee involvement and focus; and • Increase wealth distribution among the employees. Employee Share Plan – Lindsay Reed Shareholders approved the establishment of the Minbos Resources Limited Employee Share Plan via an EST at a general meeting on 14 March 2013. The company believes that the employee share plan provides eligible key employees and Directors effective incentive for their work and ongoing commitment and contribution to the Company. Eligible key employees and Directors offered shares under the plan are provided an interest free, non- recourse loan from the EST. Under this plan, on 26 September 2014 the company approved a remuneration of 37,000,000 share units to Lindsay Reed in the EST. These shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.003 per share. These shares were subject to the following vesting conditions: • 18,500,000 share units vested after satisfying the following vesting conditions; (a) one year from the Commencement Date (being 1 September 2015); and (b) once the announcement was made to the market that the Company had renewed the exploration licence 0006/06/01/L.P/GOV.ANG.MGM.2010 granted to Mongo Tando Ltda, which expired in January 2013. • 18,500,000 share units shall vest; (a) two years from the Commencement Date (being 1 September 2016); and (b) upon presentation of a definitive feasibility study [by the Company’s joint venture partner] in relation to the Cabinda project. In the event of a change of control event, the share units will vest automatically. Summary of the key loan terms: Aggregate loan amount: $111,000 Interest rate: 0% Subject to the conditions of the Employee Share Plan as approved by shareholder on 14 March 2013. There were no other shares issued as compensation to KMP during the financial year nor as at the date of signing this report. 64 | P a g e Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (b) Recognised employee benefits expense The total expense recognised as an employee benefits expense is $119,184, prorated over 12 months and 24 months, per the vesting conditions mentioned above. Management believe that the performance milestones associated with each Class/tranche will be achieved, and accordingly an expense recognised over the expected vesting period. The total employee benefits expense for the year ended 30 June 2017 and future years is as follows: The employee share units issued to Lindsay Reed have been valued using the black-scholes model.

The minimum weighted average vesting period of the share options outstanding as at 30 June 2016 was 0.167 years. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT The share option programme allows the Consolidated Entity employees to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted including market conditions attached to the grant. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 65 | P a g e $$$$Key Management PersonnelEmployee share plan - Lindsay Reed5,803 - 43,741 5,803 5,803 - 43,741 5,803 Value recognised during year30-Jun-17Value to berecognised in future yearsValue to berecognised in future years30-Jun-16Value recognised during year Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future cash flow forecasts. Risk management is carried out by Management and overseen by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors. The main risks arising for the Group are foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments are as follows: (a) Market Risk (i) Foreign exchange risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. (ii) Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk due to variable interest being earned on its interest-bearing bank accounts. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following interest-bearing financial instruments: 66 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Financial assetsCash and cash equivalents2,603,564 1,606,934 Trade and other receivables45,603 29,269 Other financial assets- 335,981 2,649,167 1,972,184 Financial liabilitiesTrade and other payables181,218 104,281 Provisions101,842 39,676 283,060 143,957 Net exposure2,366,107 1,828,227 BalanceBalance$$Cash and cash equivalents2.14%2,603,564 2.49%1,606,934 30-Jun-1730-Jun-16Weighted average interest rateWeighted average interest rate Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Sensitivity Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. The 1% increase and 1% decrease in rates is based on reasonably expected possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of historical rates for the preceding five year period. At 30 June 2017, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax losses and equity would have been affected as follows: The other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk. (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. During the year credit risk has principally arisen from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not have a significant exposure to bad debts. The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group except for the following: • Note 12: Cash and cash equivalents: Cash held with National Australia Bank and Bankwest; and • Note 16: Net investment in associate: Unsecured interest-free loan with Mongo Tando Limited of $5,901,442 at 30 June 2017 (2016: $4,908,854). (i) Cash The Group’s primary bankers are National Australia Bank and Bankwest. The Board considers the use of these financial institutions, which have a rating of AA- from Standards and Poor’s, respectively, to be sufficient in the management of credit risk with regards to these funds. 67 | P a g e 30-Jun-1730-Jun-1630-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$$$+ 1.0% (100 basis points)18,225 11,249 - - - 1.0% (100 basis points)(18,225) (11,249) - - Post tax profitOther comprehensive higher/(lower)higher/(lower)Judgements of reasonably possible movements:30-Jun-1730-Jun-16$$Financial institutions - Standard & Poor's rating of AA-2,600,991 1,600,720 Financial institutions - Other2,573 6,214 2,603,564 1,606,934 Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits: Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (ii) Trade Debtors While the Group has policies in place to ensure that transactions with third parties have an appropriate credit history, the management of current and potential credit risk exposures is limited as far as is considered commercially appropriate. Up to the date of this report, the Board has placed no requirement for collateral on existing debtors. The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. (c) Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. The Directors and Management monitor the cash outflow of the Group on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk. The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables and employee provisions incurred in the normal course of the business. Trade payables were non-interest bearing and were paid within the normal 30-60 day terms of creditor payments. The table below reflects the respective undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities existing at 30 June 2017. (d) Fair value hierarchy AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy: (i) Level 1 - the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; (ii) Level 2 - a valuation technique using inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); or (iii) Level 3 - a valuation technique using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). At 30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 the Group did not have financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value. Due to their short term nature, the carrying amount of the current receivables and payables is assumed to approximate their fair value. The Group does not have any level 2 or 3 assets or liabilities. 68 | P a g e $$$$$30-Jun-17Trade and other payables181,218 - - 181,218 181,218 Provisions101,842 - - 101,842 101,842 283,060 - - 283,060 283,060 30-Jun-16Trade and other payables104,281 - - 104,281 104,281 Provisions39,676 - - 39,676 39,676 143,957 - - 143,957 143,957 Carrying amountTotal contractual cash flowsContractual maturitiesof financial liabilities<6 months>6-12 months>12 months Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2017 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below. A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Impairment The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the assets (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost it considered an indicator that the assets are impaired. Assets carried at amortised cost For loans and receivables, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. If a loan or held-to maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate or measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 69 | P a g e Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 26.

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The company has adopted all of the new, revised or amended Accounting Standards that are mandatory for the current accounting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the entity. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The following table summarises the expected impact of new Accounting Standards that are not yet mandatory and have not been early adopted: Application Date Impact on Initial Application Nature of Change AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued December 2014) An entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under AASB 118 Revenue. Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Management is currently assessing the effects of applying the new standard on the entity’s revenue recognition policies & resulting effects on its financial statements. Based on the entity’s preliminary assessment noting the Company is yet to be in production and selling product and interest is the principal source of revenue at present, the impact is not expected to be material. The entity will conduct a more detailed assessment over the next 12 months. income Instruments AASB 9: Financial Instruments (issued July 2014) AASB 9 Financial Includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Material uncertainty related to going concern We draw attention to Note 2(c) in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
