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

➢ 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For the year ended 30 June 2017
Directors’ Report
Remuneration Philosophy
A
KMP have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. 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.

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.

2. Structure the board to add value
2.1
The board should establish a nomination committee. 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.
The board should disclose a board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the
Board currently has or is looking to achieve in its membership.

The board should disclose the names of the directors considered by the Board to be independent
directors and the length of service of each director
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2017
In making this assessment, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. 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 the future, the Company intends to seek out and appoint
independent directors to the Board when additional directors are required in order to meet the ASX
recommendation of maintaining a majority of independent Non-Executive Directors.
Messrs Peter Wall and Damian Black were both substantial security holders until May 2016. 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).
The Company concluded an agreement with Sofosa in a previous year, the terms of which Sofosa was
issued with performance rights that can be converted up to 237.8 million fully paid ordinary shares. In
addition, Sofosa receives a payment of USD 15,000 per month for services that they provide on the
Cabinda phosphate project in Angola.
Ms Dganit Baldar was appointed as a director following substantial security holder Green Services
Innovations Ltd exercising their right to appoint a director to the Board.
The chair of the Board should be an independent director and should not be the same person as the
CEO.
2.5
Mr Lindsay Reed is the CEO of Minbos and Mr Peter Wall the Chairman. Mr Wall is not an
independent director. The Company intends to seek out and appoint an independent chairman in the
future as operations expand; however, the Company believes that the current Board structure is best
suited to enable the Company to deliver Shareholder value at present and prior to the potential
merger with its joint venture partner for the Cabinda projects in Angola.

Corporate Governance Statement
8.
Remunerate fairly and responsibly
8.1
The Board should establish a remuneration committee which:
•
•
•
•
•
has at least three members a majority of whom are independent directors;
is chaired by an independent director and
disclose the charter of the committee
the members of the committee
the number of times the committee met throughout the period and the individual attendances
If the Company does not have a remuneration committee disclose the fact and the process it
employs for setting the level and composition of remuneration for directors and senior executives
and ensuring that such remuneration is appropriate and not excessive
The Board has not established a remuneration committee at this point in the Company’s
development. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the
Company and the number of independent directors renders this impractical. The full Board considers
in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible.
The remuneration philosophy, structure and approvals process is explained in detail in Section 12 of
the audited Remuneration Report contained within the Directors’ Report.
8.2
The company should separately disclose its policies and practices regarding the remuneration of
non –executive directors and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives:
The Board has adopted a formal charter of a remuneration committee, as disclosed in the Corporate
Governance Plan available on the Company’s website. www.minbos.com
The policies and practices regarding the remuneration of non–executive directors and the
remuneration of executive directors and other senior executives is explained in Section 12 of the
audited Remuneration Report contained within the Directors’ Report.
8.3 Companies which has an equity based remuneration scheme should have a policy on whether
participants are permitted to enter into transactions (whether through the use of derivatives or
otherwise) which limit the economic risk of participating in the scheme and disclose that policy or a
summary of it.
In terms of the Company’s security trading policy all persons offered equity-based remuneration or
incentives by the Company are prohibited from entering into transactions in associated products
which limit economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under equity-based remuneration
schemes.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2017
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

13. 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.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report
For the year ended 30 June 2017
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Owned assets
Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and less impairment losses
where applicable (see below).
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.

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.

17. 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.

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.

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.

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.

24. 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.

(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:

At 30 June 2017, the entire employee benefits expense was recognised by the Company. 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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the members of Minbos Resources Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Minbos Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries
(the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement
of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
(i)
Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii)
Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
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.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty
related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communicated in our report.

statements.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017, but does not include the
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors 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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

10. Annual Review of Phosphate Resources
In October 2013 the Company reported an upgraded Phosphate Resource for the Cabinda project in Angola
(refer ASX announcement dated 16 October 2013). As a result of the annual review of the Company’s
Phosphate Resources there has been no change to the Phosphate Resources reported since 16 October
2013. Additional infill drilling and an updated resource is forecast during the 2018 financial year.
11. Governance of Phosphate Resources
The Company engages external consultants and competent persons (as required by the JORC code) to
prepare and calculate estimates of its Phosphate Resources. These estimates and underlying assumptions
are reviewed by the Board and Management for reasonableness and accuracy. The results of the Phosphate
Resource estimates are then reported in accordance with the JORC codes and other applicable rules.
Where material changes occur during the year to a project, including project’s size, title or exploration
results or other technical information, then previous estimates and market disclosures are reviewed for
completeness.
The Company reviews its Phosphate Resources as at 30 June each year. Where a material change has
occurred in the assumptions or data in previously reported Phosphate Resources, a revised resource
estimate will be prepared as part of the Annual review process.
