Cue is located in the highly prospective Murchison significantly over the past twelve months and this is a Province of Western Australia, a well-endowed producing reflection of the quality work and dedication of the Musgrave gold district and an emerging, under-explored base metal team and reflects on the solid exploration results they have province. The Project is host to numerous advanced gold delivered over the past twelve months. It is a trend that and copper prospects and is well positioned in regards to we intend to continue and I would like to thank the staff, infrastructure and existing gold operations. management, contractors and my fellow directors for their Our initial drilling programs at Cue have been very successful, identifying a new base metal discovery at the Mt Eelya We are committed to progressing the Company by advancing copper-gold Prospect and extending high grade gold targets towards development through high-quality exploration mineralisation at the Break of Day Prospect. Significant and technical studies for the benefit of all Musgrave ongoing efforts in this regard. upside remains for further discoveries in both gold and shareholders. copper at Cue where the Company will continue to advance targets through discovery and extensional drilling programs Once again I wish to thank all shareholders for your continued with the objective of identifying sufficient resources to support. underpin a profitable near-term development scenario. In this regard, the Company will continue its focus on Break of Day where drilling to date has confirmed a substantial, multi-vein, high grade gold system that remains untested at depth and along strike. Despite the continuing challenging times in the resources Chairman Graham Ascough sector and the unpredictable equity markets in Australia and overseas, Musgrave successfully completed a capital raising subsequent to the end of the year that attracted new investors to the Company. Concurrent with this raising, a Share Purchase Plan offered existing shareholders the 02 Chairman’s Letter Review of Operations Musgrave Minerals Ltd (“Musgrave” or “the Company”) Drilling at Cue has identified high grade gold mineralisation (ASX:MGV) is an Australian gold and base metal exploration at Break of Day and discovered massive copper-gold company focused on growth through the discovery and mineralisation at Mt Eelya. development of gold and base metal resources within Australia. Musgrave also has projects in the Fraser Range region of Western Australia and the Musgrave Geological Province and In November 2015, Musgrave entered into a Farm-In and Southern Gawler Craton regions of South Australia (Figure 1). Joint Venture Agreement with Silver Lake Resources Limited to earn up to an 80% interest in the Cue Project consisting of the Moyagee Gold and Hollandaire Copper Projects in the highly prospective Murchison Province of Western Australia (MGV ASX announcement 25 November 2015: “Musgrave Corporate During the past year, the Company spent $1.8 million on exploration activities and at June 30, 2016 had $2.1M cash at Secures Advanced Gold and Copper Project”). bank. The Company’s focus in the year under review was on gold and base metal exploration at the new Cue Project. Our aim is to advance targets through discovery and extensional drilling to define sufficient resources to underpin a profitable near-term development scenario. Figure 1: Musgrave Minerals’ project location map Subsequent to the end of the year Musgrave raised $750,000 through a Placement to sophisticated and professional investors and $1.98M through a heavily oversubscribed Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) with an additional $500,000 Top-Up Placement. On completion the Company had approximately 180 million shares on issue and $4.7M cash at bank. During the year, Musgrave received $513,162 from the Australian Tax Office under the Federal Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive Scheme for its research and development activities during the 2015 financial year. Musgrave continued its strong links with government and research organisations throughout 2016 in the regions in which it operates including the Geological Survey of South Australia, the Centre for Exploration Targeting at the University of Western Australia and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (“CSIRO”). 03 Review of Operations 03 Figure 2: Cue prospect locations The Company successfully secured an Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) co-funded drilling grant of $150,000 for the Cue Project in 2016-17 to drill test new copper-gold targets. Under the Federal Government’s Exploration Development Incentive (“EDI”) Scheme exploration credits have been distributed to eligible shareholders at 0.08 cents per share. The EDI is intended to encourage shareholder investment in exploration companies undertaking greenfields mineral exploration in Australia by allowing junior exploration companies to distribute a portion their tax losses from greenfields minerals expenditure in Australia to eligible shareholders as tax credits. Eligible shareholders must be Australian tax residents and be recorded on the Company’s share register at the record date, being 31 May 2016. Break of Day - panned gold 04 Review of Operations Exploration Activities Significant results were achieved at the Cue Project during 2015-16 where exploration by the Company resulted in the discovery of high grade gold mineralisation at the Break of Day Prospect and copper-gold mineralisation at Mt Eelya. A considerable exploration program is planned for the coming year with the objective of expanding the high grade gold JORC resource at Break of Day and completing follow-up drilling on the Mt Eelya discovery along with the testing of other targets. Exploration programs were also undertaken on the Mamba Project in Western Australia and the Corunna Project in South Australia where anomalous lead, zinc and silver was identified in shallow aircore drilling over a strike extent of 300m. Cue Project Musgrave Minerals Ltd earning up to 80% During July 2016 Musgrave met its minimum expenditure commitments under the joint venture and has now moved to the Stage 1 Earn-In phase of the joint venture. Musgrave has focused exploration on the Cue Project since its acquisition in late 2015 undertaking an airborne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (“VTEM”) survey, surface soil and rock chip sampling, down hole electromagnetic (“DHEM”) surveys and three drilling campaigns. Figure 3: Musgrave RC drill hole locations at Break of Day on landsat image Break of Day The Break of Day Prospect (Figure 2) is part of the Moyagee Reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling has identified high grade Project area at Cue and hosts a combined JORC (2012) gold mineralisation at Break of Day including: • • • • 2m @ 25.2g/t Au 2m @ 22.0g/t Au 3m @ 24.3g/t Au 3m @ 36.8g/t Au Massive copper-gold sulphide was intersected at the new Mt Eelya discovery: • 8m @ 1.6% Cu, 0.6g/t Au, 4.5g/t Ag and JORC (2004) compliant Mineral Resource of 1.93Mt @ 2.0g/t Au for 126,900oz contained gold within four separate deposits; Lena, Leviticus, Numbers and Break of Day. Break of Day has a JORC 2004 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 335,700t @ 1.91g/t Au for 20,600oz of contained gold (MGV ASX announcement 25 November 2015, “Musgrave Secures Advanced Gold and Copper Project”). 05 Review of Operations 05 Drilling at Break of Day has identified twin, semi-parallel high • 1m @ 33.5g/t Au from 80m down hole in 16MORC007 – grade vein gold mineralisation.

Footwall vein The drilling targeted the extension of high grade gold mineralisation and has extended the hanging-wall vein to a strike of 360 metres (Figure 3). Musgrave has discovered the new high grade footwall vein and the gold mineralisation in the footwall vein has been drilled over a strike of 100m and is open down dip and to the north (Figure 4). Break of Day is on a granted mining lease and drilling is ongoing with the aim of delineating a high grade gold resource.

Assay results include: • 8m @ 1.6% Cu and 0.6g/t Au from 115m to 123m down hole (16EHRC001) including 1m @ 4.3% Cu and 1.6g/t Au from 115m with elevated silver and zinc (MGV ASX announcement 3 March 2016, “Copper-Gold Mineralisation Confirmed at Mt Eelya”) A strong off-hole late time conductor has been identified to the east of the drill hole suggesting a south easterly plunge to the mineralisation (Figure 5 and 6). Gossanous float, the weathered product of sulphide mineralisation, can be traced at surface, intermittently over a strike of approximately 300m at Mt Eelya. The gossan forms two intermittent but sub-parallel zones. Interpretation of the VTEM survey data has identified three potential conductors aligned parallel with the gossans. The conductors at Mt Eelya have a strong association with massive sulphide copper-gold mineralisation. To date the drilling has been focused on testing only one of these three potential zones of mineralisation. Ground Electromagnetic (“EM”) is planned to better define these potential new conductive targets. 07 Review of Operations 07 At Mt Eelya a regional soil geochemical survey using a portable x-ray fluorescence (“pXRF”) analyser has identified a zone of anomalous copper and zinc over a strike extent of About the Cue Project Musgrave Minerals Ltd entered into a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Silver Lake Resources Limited more than 700m.

The second is a copper soil anomaly co-incident with the Lady Stardust VTEM target suggesting the source of the conductor may be related to base metal mineralisation. The VTEM target is modelled as a sub-vertical conductor with a strike extent of approximately 900m. Aircore and RC drilling is planned to test both the gold and copper anomalies at Lady Stardust. Fraser Range Mamba Project E28/2405 (100% Musgrave Minerals Ltd) The Mamba tenement covers 180km2 in the same belt as the world class Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper sulphide discoveries of Sirius Resources NL (now Independence Group NL) in south-eastern Western Australia. The tenement is along strike from the Nova deposit and only 5km from the Trans Australian rail line. The project is on a significant regional gravity high, which is interpreted to represent a large accumulation of mafic rocks prospective for massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. Musgrave has 08 Review of Operations undertaken two drilling programs at Mamba and identified mafic host lithologies prospective for nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The Company is seeking a joint venture partner to progress nickel-copper exploration on the project. Southern Gawler Range Corunna Project EL5497 (100% Musgrave Minerals Ltd) The Corunna Project is in the emerging epithermal porphyry province of the Southern Gawler Craton, South Australia which hosts the Menninnie Dam Zn-Pb-Ag deposit and the Figure 7: Aircore drill results for Area 1 target on 20Moz Paris epithermal silver deposit. The Corunna Project is gridded silver soil geochemical image located approximately 50km west of Port Augusta and is well positioned in regards to infrastructure and proximity to the coast. The recent aircore drilling program at Corunna intersected anomalous silver, lead, zinc and copper over a strike extent of more than 300m (Figure 7) and is open to both the north and south (MGV ASX announcement 27 August 2015, “MGV Exploration Update – Corunna”). Aircore drilling tested six surface geochemical targets with best results being returned from Area 1 including: Other Projects Musgrave currently holds tenements in the Musgrave region of South Australia. No field activity was completed on these projects during the period.

(d) Relationship between remuneration and the group’s performance Emoluments of Directors are set by reference to payments made by other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference to the skills and experience of Directors. Fees paid to Directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Group is generating revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Group’s performance including earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (e.g. changes in share price). The Board has not set short term performance indicators, such as movements in the Company’s share price, for the determination of Director emoluments as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is not in the long term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to it believes is in the best interests of building shareholder ensure that remuneration practices are: • competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent; wealth in the longer term. The Board believes participation in the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan aligns key management and executives with the long term interests of shareholders. 15 Directors’ Report 15 (e) Non-executive director remuneration policy On appointment to the Board, all Non-Executive Directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment.

The objective of this Standard is to establish principles for the financial reporting liabilities that will present relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of the amounts, timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows. AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers The objective of this Standard is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. AASB 16: Leases This Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.

Application date of standard Application date for Group (a) Basis of measurement Historical Cost Convention These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except where stated. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed where appropriate. (b) Going Concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 1 Jan 2018 1 Jul 2018 (c) Principles of consolidation Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiary at 30 June 2016 and the results of its subsidiary for the year then ended. The Company and its subsidiary 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 investment with the entity and has the 1 Jan 2019 1 Jul 2019 ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 27 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 27 Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. an ongoing basis.

Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive value is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing income, consolidated statement of financial position and the model. consolidated statement of changes in equity respectively. Joint arrangements Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward The Group’s accounting policy is detailed in Note 2(m). The Under AASB 11: Joint Arrangements investments in joint recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and arrangements are classified as either joint operations or evaluation costs carried forward has been reviewed by the joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual Directors at the reporting date. In conducting the review, the rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal Directors consider the requirements of AASB 6 and if any structure of the joint arrangement. impairment indicators are identified, the recoverable amount A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties less costs to sell”. Unrecoverable amounts are impaired and that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to recognised in profit or loss. is then assessed by reference to the higher of “fair value the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are called joint operators. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Those parties are called joint venturers. (d) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The application of accounting policies requires the use of (e) Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors of Musgrave Minerals Limited. judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Interest income is recognised as it accrues. (h) Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Musgrave Minerals Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entity have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, 29 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 29 the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long- term payables.

The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired position. under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. (l) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards receivables are due for settlement within 30 days. They are of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Impairment of assets (j) Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment due according to the original terms of the receivables. The or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested carrying amount and the present value of estimated future for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. 30 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of amount of the provision is recognised in the profit or loss. that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made.

Consideration is given to expected future the period in which the employees render the related service (o) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are and currency that match, as closely as possible, the usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other estimated future cash outflows. payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. Share-Based Payments (p) Employee benefits Short–term Obligations Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service, are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave and accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. The Group provides benefits to employees of the Company in the form of share options. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefits 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. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, on a straight line basis over the vesting period. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number that vest. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share. Termination Benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for 32 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing (s) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, 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 termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 part of the expense. months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value. No termination benefits, other than accrued benefits and entitlements, were paid during the period. (q) Equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are 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 with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST (r) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: • the profit attributable to owners of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares • by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. (t) Financial assets Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held- to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace. 33 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 33 3.

The investigations concluded that the amount of funds involved in the irregular transactions was $468,772. $337,250 of these funds were misappropriated during the previous financial year. On 16 November 2015, the ex-employee was found guilty of stealing as a servant and received a custodial sentence. To date, the Company has managed to recover $136,043, with $100,000 being recovered this year. 4. Segment information The Group operates in one geographical segment, being Australia and in one operating category, being mineral exploration. Therefore, information reported to the chief operating decision maker (the Board of Musgrave Minerals Limited) for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment is focused on mineral exploration within Australia. The Board has considered the requirements of AASB 8: Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief operation decision maker in allocating resources and have concluded at this time that there are no separately identifiable segments. 34 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 5.

The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Musgrave Minerals Limited. The tax consolidated group has potential revenue tax losses of $16,864,803 (2015: $15,674,230) and capital losses of $245,265. The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise benefits. The utilisation of tax losses is dependent on the Group satisfying the continuity of ownership test or the same business test at the time the tax losses are applied against taxable income. 6.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of cash and cash equivalents mentioned above. In 2016, the government enacted a change in the income tax rate for small business entities from 30% to 28.5%. Musgrave Minerals Limited satisfies the criteria to be a small business entity. 35 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 35 7.

Financial risk management objectives and policies Financial Risk Management Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: • Interest rate risk • Credit risk • Liquidity risk • Commodity risk This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group’s principal financial instruments are cash, short- term deposits, receivables and payables. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest bearing financial assets and liabilities that the Group uses. Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash equivalents which are considered to be short-term liquid assets. It is the Group’s policy to settle trade payables within the credit terms allowed and therefore not incur interest on overdue balances. The following table set out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk: Fixed interest rate maturing in Consolidated – 2016 Financial assets Floating Interest rate $ 1 Year or Less $ Over 1 to 5 years $ More than 5 years $ Non interest bearing $ Total $ Cash and cash equivalents 124,924 1,950,000 Trade and other receivables Weighted average interest rate Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Weighted average interest rate - 124,924 1.98% - 1,950,000 2.79% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 300 43,512 43,812 - 243,536 243,536 - 2,075,224 43,512 2,118,736 - 243,536 243,536 - 40 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated – 2015 Financial assets Fixed interest rate maturing in Floating Interest rate $ 1 Year or Less $ Over 1 to 5 years $ More than 5 years $ Non interest bearing $ Total $ Cash and cash equivalents 1,557,403 2,180,000 Trade and other receivables - - Weighted average interest rate 0.97% 3.14% 1,465,393 2,272,000 Financial liabilities Trade and other payables Weighted average interest rate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3,737,403 47,158 47,158 - 297,064 297,064 - 47,158 3,784,561 - 297,064 297,064 - Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The management of the Group’s capital is performed by the Board. The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (trade payables and provisions detailed in notes 12 & 13 offset by cash and bank balances) and equity of the Group (comprising contributed equity and reserves, offset by accumulated losses detailed in notes 14, 15 & 16). 23. Share based payments Employee Share Option Plan The Group has an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) for executives and employees of the Group. In accordance with the provisions of the ESOP, as approved by shareholders at a previous Annual General Meeting, executives and employees may be granted options at the discretion of the Directors. Each share option converts into one ordinary share of Musgrave Minerals Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or are payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights of dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. Options issued to Directors are subject to approval by shareholders. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. None of the Group’s entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
