Chairman’s Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
It is my pleasure to present the 2012 annual report for
Musgrave Minerals Limited. As the Company listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange in April 2011, this has been our
fi rst full year of operation, and it has been pleasing to see so
much activity and exploration completed on our projects in the
Musgrave Province of north-west South Australia in the past 12
months.
Our very busy year has included four drilling programs
completed at two sites – the Moorilyanna Prospect at the Mimili
Project, and at the Deering Hills Project. This is great progress by
our team in which we identifi ed primary copper mineralisation
at Moorilyanna and intersected disseminated stringer copper
sulphides in Giles Complex gabbros in diamond core drilled at
Musgrave has built a strong exploration team that is dedicated
to the task at hand – continuing to identify and test high quality
targets across our project portfolio. Musgrave will maintain
its strategy of defi ning and testing high-quality base metal
targets within the region, whilst actively seeking additional
opportunities to diversify our portfolio.
In closing, I would like to thank the management and staff of
Musgrave for their work over the past year. There is much work to
do to follow up on the past year’s activities, and we look forward
to seeing the results of this over the coming year.
Graham Ascough
Deering Hills. These drill programs came on the back of a great
Chairman
deal of work including ground electromagnetic and geophysical
surveys and vacuum drilling, which helped our team identify
these targets. We will continue to work to defi ne and test targets
within our high-quality portfolio of tenements over the coming
year, with our primary aim to identify and defi ne an economic
mineral resource.
An exciting development for Musgrave in May 2012 was the
granting of four new Exploration Licences in far north-west South
Australia. The granting of these licences more than doubles
Musgrave’s previous granted exploration area from 5,590km2
to over 12,800km2. These new licences are highly prospective
for copper and nickel sulphide mineralisation. The receipt of
these licences demonstrates the relationship that Musgrave has
forged with Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (“APY” – a body
corporate established by the APY Lands Rights Act 1981, SA)
and Traditional Owners. These are the fi rst mineral Exploration
Licences to be granted in APY lands since 2008, and Musgrave
is the fi rst company to hold active mineral Exploration Licences
over these areas, providing us with a great opportunity. We look
forward to commencing our work programs on these new areas
in the year ahead.
Musgrave has recently announced a new joint venture with
Menninnie Metals Pty Ltd on the Menninnie Dam silver-zinc-lead
project in the Southern Gawler Craton of South Australia. This
is an excellent opportunity for Musgrave and we look forward
to drill testing new targets at Menninnie Dam in 2012-2013 in
conjunction with our program in the Musgrave Ranges.
Musgrave Minerals Ltd Annual Report 2012 1
Review of
Operations
Musgrave Minerals Ltd (‘Musgrave Minerals’ or the
‘Company’) is dedicated to discovering deposits of economic
mineralisation in South Australia, using systematic and well-
resourced exploration methods and programs. We have a
leading exploration landholding in the Musgrave region, with
tenements covering an area in excess of 50,000km2 (Figure 1),
and have recently expanded our portfolio by establishing a joint
venture with Menninnie Metals Pty Ltd for the Menninnie Dam
silver-zinc-lead project in the Southern Gawler Craton of South
Australia.
The Musgrave Province is one of the last under-explored
frontiers for mineral exploration in Australia, and is prospective
for a number of commodities. The centrepiece is the recognition
of, and access to, the under-explored potential of the Giles
Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (“APY”) land (Aboriginal
freehold land). Musgrave Minerals continues to develop the
strong relationship with the APY people that our cornerstone
investor companies had commenced.
For many years the Musgrave Province has been deemed
prospective for mineral exploration, although exploration has
been relatively restricted until more recent times. Access has
now improved with Musgrave Minerals successfully negotiating
the grant of four new exploration licence applications in areas
never before granted to mineral explorers.
Musgrave Minerals now holds 11 granted exploration licences
totalling more than 12,900km2. We are in the process of
advancing additional tenements through the granting process
and expect to have exploration access to more new prospective
ground in the next 12 months.
The key to exploration success in the Musgrave Province is
the adoption and implementation of the latest technology and
geological expertise with a systematic exploration approach
combined with a commitment to strong community relations.

successfully demonstrated the prospectivity of the area by
identifying magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation at
Deering Hills and primary hydrothermal copper mineralisation at
Moorilyanna.
Musgrave Minerals is continuing to define new targets through
the use of 3D magnetic and gravity modelling along with
airborne electromagnetics, geological mapping, geochemistry
and ground electrical geophysical surveys. The Company is
developing a pipeline of targets for drill testing in the next 12
months. The exploration completed to date clearly demonstrates
our ability to be an effective explorer in the region and validates
our exploration strategy and targeting methodologies.
Corporate
Musgrave Minerals Ltd listed on the Australian Securities
Exchange (“ASX”) on 29 April 2011.
During the Company’s first full financial year since listing,
Musgrave Minerals spent $4.7 million on exploration and
administration activities. At the end of June 2012, the Company
was well resourced, holding $13.6 million in cash.
As part of the Company’s growth strategy, the Board and
management are using expertise and industry experience to
assess a range of additional opportunities for joint venture or
acquisition.
Musgrave have recently executed a Heads of Agreement with
Menninnie Metals Pty Ltd on the Menninnie Dam Ag-Zn-Pb
project in the Southern Gawler Craton of South Australia. The
Menninnie Dam project has a number of exciting targets the
Company will drill test in the coming 12 months.

Musgrave Minerals owns 100% of the Mimili Project which
consists of two exploration licences, EL3955 and EL3954.
The project is situated 40km west of the Stuart Highway and
approximately 70km north-west of Marla in South Australia.
Exploration within the Mimili Project was focused at the
Moorilyanna Prospect during the year with the Company
undertaking reconnaissance mapping, sampling, an induced
polarisation (IP) survey and an RC drilling program.
The information gleaned from this work has been invaluable in
increasing our understanding of the geology of the area and its
regional prospectivity.
RC sampling at Moorilyanna
RC sampling at Moorilyanna
Drilling of six co-incident IP and copper geochemical targets
intersected primary copper mineralisation over narrow widths.
The drilling has highlighted a number of new targets for follow-
up work, including the Ragnar target (Figures 2 and 3).
A significant IP anomaly has been identified at Ragnar, with co-
incident copper mineralisation (Figure 2). Drill hole MOORC016
was drilled to test the IP target but stopped short of the target
depth due to a high influx of ground water. The hole terminated
in highly altered sheared gabbro with visible disseminated
sulphides and 0.14% Cu near the end of hole (Figure 4). The
Ragnar target is located at an excellent geological address on the
edge of a regional graben margin fault and intersecting north-
west structure. A regional geochemical program is planned for
this target before drilling will recommence.

• Strong off-hole conductor identified in DHEM at Valen
• Mt Alvey and Minbar nickel-copper-PGE geochemical

A regional gravity survey was undertaken at Deering Hills and
has helped to prioritise targets for drill testing. The gravity and
magnetic surveys together with geochemical vacuum drilling
has defined a number of co-incident targets for drill testing. The
current exploration methodology has proven to be effective and

northern South Australia. EL3942 is one of the most prospective
tenements in the portfolio and has been one of the focuses of
our exploration.
The regional vacuum drilling program has identified a number
of very good geochemical targets for follow-up exploration.
The Minbar target (Figure 6) is defined over a strike length of
more than 5,000m with peak values of 1,847ppm Ni, 482ppm
Cu and 114ppb Pt and Pd in weathered ultramafic at shallow
depths. Minbar is co-incident with a strong gravity and magnetic
anomaly.
Diamond drilling at Deering Hills
A regional vacuum and two diamond drilling programs have
been completed during the year at Deering Hills and have
confirmed the presence of stringer and disseminated magmatic
sulphide within Giles formation gabbros within the project area.
The best intersection was 0.31m @ 0.25% Cu from 116.07m
down hole in DEEDDH004 at the Valen prospect. This result is
encouraging as it supports the hypothesis that we could be close
to larger, higher grade nickel-copper sulphide targets. A down-
hole electromagnetic (“DHEM”) survey has identified a strong
off-hole conductor in DEEDDH004 which is yet to be drill tested.
This is also encouraging for the adjacent targets at Pallatu (Figure
5).

Mt Woodroffe Project
EL3940 (100% Musgrave Minerals Ltd)
• High priority ‘Lister’ target identified
The Mt Woodroffe Project is situated on EL3940 within a large,
geologically complex area, straddling the Mann Fault Complex
and Woodroffe Thrust Zone in the central Musgrave Province.
A high priority VTEM target has been highlighted for follow-up
ground EM. The target titled ‘Lister’ (Figure 7) is a co-incident
VTEM, magnetic, gravity and geochemical anomaly occurring
at the junction of two distinct geological features in a similar
setting to many known mineralised magmatic nickel, copper
systems.
A ground EM survey is being planned to site drill holes at
Lister. An airborne VTEM survey is also planned to commence
to the west of the current targets. The new airborne survey is
co-incident with a regional gravity anomaly (Rimmer anomaly)
and chonolithic magnetic anomaly defined from 3D magnetic
imaging (Figure 7).
Bryson Hill Project
EL4047 (Musgrave Minerals Ltd earning 75% from
Pitjantjatjara Mining Company Pty Limited and Zeil No. 1 Pty
Limited)
The Bryson Hill Project is located in the far easterly portion of
the Musgrave Province. The tenement is covered by spinifex sand
plains and dunes with only very minimal sub-crop or outcrop.
Little previous exploration has been undertaken within the
tenement area.
A regional airborne VTEM survey is planned over a portion of
EL4047 along with geological mapping and ground follow-up.
Other Projects
During the year, Musgrave Minerals was granted four new
exploration licences covering a combined area of 7,300km2
(Figure 8). These licences more than double the Company’s
current explorable ground holding. Musgrave is the first company
to hold an active exploration tenement in this part of the region.
Musgrave signed a Deed of Exploration with the executive
Board of Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (“APY” – a body
corporate established by the APY Lands Rights Act 1981, SA)
in relation to these four tenements. They are the first mineral
exploration licences granted in APY Lands since 2008, making
it a significant milestone for the Company and highlighting the
strong relationship Musgrave has already forged with APY.
Musgrave Minerals holds a 100% interest in three of the
licences (EL4850, EL4852, and EL4853) and can earn up to a
75% interest in EL4851 (Figure 8).

discuss those transactions or potential transactions with other
Directors. Each Director is required by the Company to declare
on an annual basis the details of any financial or other relevant
interests that they may have in the Company.
The Board has determined that its three non-executive
Directors are not independent as defined under
Recommendation 2.1. The Company is therefore at variance
with Recommendation 2.1 in that a majority of Directors are not
independent.
The Board considers its current structure to be an appropriate
composition of the required skills and experience, given
the experience of the individual Directors and the size and
development of the Company at the present time. Each
individual member of the Board is satisfied that whilst the
Company may not comply with Recommendation 2.1, all
Directors bring an independent judgment to bear on Board
decisions.

Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project,
and made several minor amendments to a number of AASBs.
These standards eliminate a large portion of the differences
between the Australian and New Zealand accounting standards
and IFRS and retain only additional disclosures considered
necessary. These changes also simplify some current disclosures
for Australian entities and remove others.
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing
standards that are not yet effective and have not been
adopted early by the Company

and to evaluate results achieved through surface sampling,
geophysical surveys and drilling activities.
2 General information and statement of
compliance
The general purpose financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards
and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian
Accounting Standards results in full compliance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Musgrave
Minerals Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the
financial statements.
Musgrave Minerals Ltd is a public company incorporated and
domiciled in Australia and listed on the ASX (ASX Code: MGV).
Management anticipates that all of the relevant
pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting
policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of
the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments
and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the
Company’s financial statements is provided below.
Certain other new standards and interpretations have been
issued but are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January
2013)
The AASB aims to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. The replacement
standard (AASB 9) is being issued in phases. To date, the
chapters dealing with recognition, classification, measurement
and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities have been
issued. These chapters are effective for annual periods beginning
1 January 2013. Further chapters dealing with impairment

(including comparatives) were approved and authorised for issue
by the board of directors on 25 September 2012.
3 Changes in accounting policies
Management have yet to assess the impact that this
amendment is likely to have on the financial statements of
the Company. However, they do not expect to implement the
amendments until all chapters of AASB 9 have been published
and they can comprehensively assess the impact of all changes.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13)
AASB 13 does not affect which items are required to be fair-
valued, but clarifies the definition of fair value and provides
related guidance and enhanced disclosures about fair value
measurements. It is applicable for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2013. The Company’s management have yet to
assess the impact of this new standard.
AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards Presentation of Items of Other
Comprehensive Income (AASB 101 Amendments)
The AASB 101 Amendments require an entity to group
items presented in other comprehensive income into those
that, in accordance with other IFRSs: (a) will not be reclassified
subsequently to profit or loss and
asset if certain recognition criteria are met (as an addition to,
or enhancement of, an existing asset). The interpretation is
applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2013. The interpretation will have no impact on the Company as
it has no mining activities.
4 Summary of accounting policies
(a) Overall considerations
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the
preparation of these financial statements are summarised below.

Standards for each type of asset, liability, income and expense.

(b) Income Tax
expects this will change the current presentation of items in
other comprehensive income; however, it will not affect the
measurement or recognition of such items.

current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense
(income).
AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards to Remove Individual Key Management
Personnel Disclosure Requirements (AASB 124

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the
tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets)

amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax
rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset
is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also
reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or
settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and
unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which
the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments
in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of
the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and
it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable
future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally
enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the
respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are offset where:
the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are
recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease
if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal
assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment
indicators are present.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed
annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount
is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that
will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent
disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to
their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated
group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable
overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the
item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged
to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial
period in which they are incurred.

same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is
intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation

occur in future periods in which significant amounts
of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be
recovered or settled.
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings
and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is
depreciated on a straight-line and dminishing value basis over
the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing from the
time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of
the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The useful life for each class of depreciable assets are:

(d) Exploration and Development Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures
incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area
of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that
they are expected to be recovered through the successful
development of the area or where activities in the area have not
yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are
written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision
to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for
the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the
area according to the rate of depletion of the economically
recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to
determine the appropriateness of continuing to capitalise costs
in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the
project from when exploration commences and are included
in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the
dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and
building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site
in accordance with local laws and regulations and clauses of the
permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of
future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an
undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted
on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site
restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent
of the restoration due to community expectations and future
the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash
inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are
tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-
generating unit level.
All assets or cash-generating units 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 or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less
costs to sell and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use,
management estimates expected future cash flows from each
cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in
order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The
data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked
to the Company’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary
to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset
enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for
each cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment
of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks
factors.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that
an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist.

An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s
flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a

liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
(i) Loans and receivables
(g) Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when
the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that
the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the
asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus
transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified “at
fair value through profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs
are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value,
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or
financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal
repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted
for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that
initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the
effective interest method.
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for
all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to
determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including
recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments
and option pricing models.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where
they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of
the reporting period.
(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement of financial
liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings and
trade and other payables.
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an
instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or loss are
included within finance costs or finance income.
(h) Interests in Joint Ventures
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or
more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to
joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets
and other resources of the venturers rather than establishment
of a separate entity. The Company recognises its interest in
the jointly controlled operations by recognising the assets
that it controls and the liabilities that it incurs. The Company
also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of the
income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the

Exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Company capitalises expenditure relating to exploration
and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable
or where the activities have not reached a stage that permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there
are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been
extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such
expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in
such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure
is carried at the end of the reporting period at $13,538,949.

The Board has considered the requirements of AASB 8

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing
the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number
of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all
the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The following reflects the income and share data used in the
basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
In accordance with AASB 133 ’Earnings per Share’, as potential
ordinary shares may only result in a situation where their
conversion results in an increase in loss per share or decrease in
profit per share from continuing operations, no dilutive effect has
been taking into account.

Employee Share Option Plan
The Company has established the Musgrave Minerals Ltd
Employee Share Option Plan and a summary of the Rules of the
Plan are set out below:
• All employees (full and part time) will be eligible to
participate in the Plan after a qualifying period of 12
months employment by a member of the Company,
although the Board may waive this requirement.
• Options are granted under the Plan at the discretion of the
board and if permitted by the board, may be issued to an
employee’s nominee.
• Each option is to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary
share in the Company and will expire 5 years from its date
of issue. An option is exercisable at any time from its date
of issue. Options will be issued free. The exercise price
of options will be determined by the board, subject to a
minimum price equal to the market value of the Company’s
shares at the time the board resolves to offer those
options. The total number of shares the subject of options
issued under the Plan, when aggregated with issues
