CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO’S LETTER
Dear Shareholder,
In 2012, we had another solid year of production from Prominent Hill. We extended the life of the new Ankata underground
mine, further increased our options for mine life extension and made great progress at Carrapateena. Most pleasingly, we
continued to progress our safety strategy, resulting in improved safety performance.
Pursuing value for our shareholders remains our overall business objective. For 2012, we resolved to pay a total unfranked
dividend of 30 cents per share, equating to a payout ratio of 60 percent of normal operating profits.
During the year, we reaffirmed our strategy after taking into consideration changes in market conditions and the outlook for our
preferred commodities of copper and gold. Our strategy remains to focus on copper, maximise the potential of our assets, build
a project pipeline, invest in exploration and disciplined evaluation of value adding acquisition opportunities.
We have detailed our vision for the future as part of our ‘Conceptual Growth Vision’ for OZ Minerals. Our vision includes mining
from the open pit, Ankata underground and development, and subsequent mining of the Malu underground at Prominent Hill.
We are also accelerating the exploration phase of the Carrapateena project. Although the timeline is conceptual and is by
necessity subject to many variables, including regulatory and community approvals, suitable technical and cost outcomes, and
favourable economic and market conditions, we are indicating potential for mining beyond 2020 at Prominent Hill from
underground operations.
With the combined open pit and underground operation, revenue for the year was just below $1 billion. The average London
Metals Exchange (LME) average copper price during 2012 was US$3.61 per pound, which is still a very good price historically and
only slightly below the all-time record (LME) average copper price achieved in 2011 of US$4.00 per pound. The outlook for
copper remains very strong, with emerging economies providing the demand level that exceeds forecast mine supply.
As we move into Prominent Hill’s fifth year of operations, we are able to reflect on an asset that has consistently achieved very
good production. In 2012, we met our market guidance, with 101,737 tonnes of copper and 140,746 ounces of gold produced at
Prominent Hill.
Many significant milestones were achieved in 2012, setting ourselves up for future growth. Our new Ankata underground mine
at Prominent Hill was officially opened during the year by the Premier of South Australia, the Hon Jay Weatherill. The mine
reached its full production rates by the end of 2012 and Ore Reserves were increased.
Our confidence in Carrapateena has grown following a drilling program, which led to a 43 percent increase in Mineral Resources.
We have purchased a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) to accelerate the development of an exploration decline and allow further
geotechnical testing of the deposit. It is anticipated that the TBM will be commissioned before the end of 2013. We also
announced a regional discovery at the Khamsin prospect, approximately 10 kilometres north west of the Carrapateena deposit.
Our investment in our local communities was strengthened in 2012. We completed our eighth Pre-Employment Training
Program, which continues to have success in enabling local people without prior experience to enter our workforce.
We currently have around 170 Aboriginal people working at Prominent Hill – one of the highest Aboriginal representations
within Australian mining workforces.
In an industry with traditionally lower representation of women than men, OZ Minerals has a clear vision for improving diversity
within our company, with measurable targets incorporated into company-wide key performance indicators. At present, women
constitute 24 percent of OZ Minerals employees.
We have always seen 2012–2013 as transitional years for Prominent Hill as we move underground and mine significant volumes
of waste. This will build a foundation for future production from Prominent Hill. From 2014 onwards, we will have access to ore
in later stages of the open pit, obtaining the benefit from the investment in our 2013 waste movement campaign. Over the year,
we will begin to develop the Malu underground mine with the objective of reaching first ore from stoping in 2014. We will also
focus on drill testing of targets at Carrapateena.
With a strong balance sheet and no debt, OZ Minerals is in an excellent position to capitalise on growth from within our own
portfolio and to continue our disciplined evaluation of further value-adding opportunities in copper.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board is committed to following the ASX Corporate Governance Council Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendations (ASX Recommendations). The Board and Management regularly review the Company’s policies and practices
to ensure that the Company continues to maintain and improve its governance standards by following the eight ASX Corporate
Governance Principles detailed below.
Details of the corporate governance policies adopted by the Company and referred to in this statement and the Board Charter
are available on the Company’s website www.ozminerals.com in the Corporate Governance section.
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
The Board has adopted a Charter that sets out the specific powers and responsibilities that have been delegated to the
Company’s Executive Committee (‘EXCO’) and the executive management team and those that it has reserved for itself. EXCO,
led by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (‘MD&CEO’), is responsible for the leadership and management of the
Company as a whole. EXCO performs its role in consultation with, and obtains guidance from, the Board and the Board
Committees. The other members of EXCO are the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel & Company Secretary.
In addition to attending the regular Board and Board Committee meetings, the Directors allocate time for strategy and risk
review sessions and for inspecting the operations of the Company. Directors receive a comprehensive monthly performance
report from the MD&CEO and Directors are briefed regularly by members of the executive management team and other senior
managers. Time is also allocated throughout the year for continuing education on significant issues facing the Company and
changes to the regulatory environment.
The Chairman communicates regularly with the MD&CEO to review strategic and business issues and to agree upon Board
meeting agendas.
The Company also has in place a Delegations of Authority Manual which is approved by the Board and circulated throughout
the Company that makes clear to every employee what is or is not within the scope of their authority.
Assessing senior executive performance
In accordance with clause 6.5 of its Charter, each year the Board approves the criteria for assessing the performance of the
MD&CEO, and the executive management team.
The performance of the MD&CEO and the executive management team was reviewed and evaluated during 2012. During the
year the Board established key performance indicators for Mr Terry Burgess to reflect the challenges of the organisation. The
Board reviewed the MD&CEO’s performance against these performance criteria in December 2012. The performance reviews of
members of the executive management team are conducted regularly during the year by the MD&CEO, with a formal process
conducted once a year.
Details of how the Company assesses the performance of the MD&CEO and the executive management team are set out in the
Remuneration Report on pages 27 to 44.
Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value
Board composition
The Board strives to ensure that it is comprised of a diverse selection of strongly performing individuals of utmost integrity
whose complementary skills, experience, qualifications and personal attributes are suited to the Company’s needs. Following
Mr Barry Lavin’s resignation from the Board on 8 March 2013, OZ Minerals’ Board comprises seven Directors – one executive
Director being the MD&CEO, and six Non-Executive Directors (‘NEDs’). The Company’s Constitution provides for a minimum of
three, and a maximum of fifteen Directors.
A profile of each Director, is set out in the Directors’ Report.
Independence
The Board is comprised of a majority of independent NEDs. All NEDs, including the Chairman whose role is separate to the
MD&CEO, are independent and free of any relationship which may conflict with the interests of the Company. In order to
ensure that any ‘interests’ that a Director has in a matter to be considered by the Board are known by all Directors, each Director
has contracted with the Company to disclose any relationships, duties or interests held that may give rise to a potential conflict.
Directors are required to adhere strictly to constraints on their participation and voting in relation to any matters in which they
may have an interest. Each Director is required by the Company to declare on an annual basis any related financial interests or
details of other interests in the Company. At the beginning of each Board Meeting, Directors are requested to report whether
there are any conflicts that other Directors should be aware of. The Board is also guided by the OZ Minerals Director’s Conflicts
of Interest Policy which provides a framework to assist Directors in managing and disclosing any conflicts of interest that may
arise.
4
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
Selection and appointment of Directors
The Board, with the assistance of the Nomination & Board Governance Committee, regularly reviews its membership to ensure
that it has the appropriate mix of skills and experience required to meet the needs of the Company. When the Board determines
the need to appoint a new Director, external professional advisers are engaged to assist with identifying potential candidates to
ensure that a diverse range of candidates is considered.
Retirement and re-election of Directors
In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Company’s Constitution, no Director may hold office without re-election
beyond the third AGM since he or she was last elected or re-elected. Retiring Directors may offer themselves for re-election,
however the Board will review and assess the performance of a retiring Director before giving a recommendation on whether a
retiring Director should be re-elected.
The Company’s Constitution also requires that Directors, excluding the MD&CEO who have been appointed by the Board must
retire and stand for re-election at the next annual general meeting following their appointment.
The Company has a process to educate new Directors about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy
and the expectations of the Company concerning the performance of its Directors.
New Directors receive a letter of appointment which outlines their main responsibilities together with an Induction Pack that
provides new Directors with a broad range of information about the Company.
Independent professional advice and access to Company information
Directors have a right of access to all relevant Company information, to the Company’s executives and, subject to prior
consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent advice from a suitably qualified advisor at the Company’s expense.
Evaluating Board and Committee performance
The Board, with the assistance of the Nomination & Board Governance Committee, regularly monitors its performance and the
performance of the Directors and Board Committees throughout the year and conducts a formal review of their performance on
an annual basis. This may occur through a process of internal review led by the Chairman, or be performed with the assistance
of external advisers, as considered appropriate.
For the 2012 year, the Board undertook a review of the performance of all the Directors, including Messrs. Dowd and Lenegan,
who are standing for re-election at the May 2013 Annual General Meeting. The review was led by the Chairman with the
assistance of an independent external third party facilitator. The review was based on a formal questionnaire followed by
interviews with each of the Directors. The outcomes of the review were discussed and considered by all the Directors.
Board Committees
The standing Committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, Sustainability Committee, the Remuneration Committee and
the Nomination & Board Governance Committee. Each Committee is entitled to the resources and information it requires to
carry out its duties, including direct access to advisers and employees. Committee papers and minutes of Committee meetings
are circulated to all Directors and any Director is welcome to attend any meeting. Each Committee reports its deliberations to
the next Board Meeting.
The Committee Charters and the membership details of each Committee can be located on the Company’s website. Details of
the number of Board and Committee meetings held during the year, and each Director’s attendance at those meetings are set
out in the Directors’ Report.
Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making
The Board and the Company’s employees are expected to uphold the highest levels of integrity and professional behaviour in
their relationships with all of the Company’s stakeholders. The Company has developed a number of policies to help Directors
and employees understand what is expected of them. Below is a summary of the Company’s core policies which apply to
Directors and employees.
Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct describes standards for appropriate ethical and professional behaviour for all Directors, employees and
contractors working for the Company. The Code of Conduct, which is reviewed regularly by the Board, requires all Directors,
employees and contractors to conduct business with the highest ethical standards, including compliance with the law, and to
report any interest that may give rise to a conflict of interest. Breaches of the Code of Conduct are taken seriously by the
Company and may be reported using the Company’s Whistleblower Program. The Code of Conduct is made available to all
employees and employees are made aware of the Code of Conduct through regular training programs. In addition to the Code
of Conduct, the Company has introduced an Anti- Bribery and Corruption Policy.
5
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
Values
The Company has also implemented a set of Values designed to guide the Directors and all employees in their day-to-day
dealings with each other, competitors, customers and the community. The Values established are Respect, Integrity, Action and
Results.
Whistleblower Policy
The Company is committed to ensuring the Company’s employees and contractors can raise concerns regarding illegal conduct
or malpractice in good faith and to have such concerns properly investigated, without being subject to victimisation, harassment
or discriminatory treatment. The Whistleblower Policy, which is reviewed regularly, provides a mechanism by which all
employees can confidentially report improper or illegal conduct without fear of discrimination. Where the complaint relates to
suspected improper or illegal conduct of the MD&CEO or any other member of EXCO, the matter must be reported to the
Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the Audit Committee.
Trading in the Company’s shares
To safeguard against insider trading, the Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits Directors and employees from trading
the Company’s securities if they are aware of any information that would be expected to have a material effect on the price of
Company’s securities.
The policy establishes ‘black out periods’ during which Directors and employees must not trade in the Company’s securities and
it also prevents Directors, executives and employees from entering into any hedging arrangements over unvested securities
issued pursuant to any share scheme, performance rights plan or option plan. In addition, the policy prevents participants in the
Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan from entering into financial arrangements such as margin loans, stock lending or any other
arrangements involving OZ Minerals securities where a lender (or other third party) is granted a right to sell (or compel the sale
of) all or party of an employee’s OZ Minerals securities.
Diversity Policy
The Company believes that embracing diversity, by providing fair and equal access for employees to all employment
opportunities, inevitably leads to a more effective workplace. The Company’s approach to achieving diversity objectives is
outlined in the Diversity Policy. The Diversity Policy has a particular focus on further improving gender diversity within the
Company through an active attraction, engagement and retention strategy. This policy also outlines the Company’s overall
commitment to establishing programs and setting measurable targets to develop a diverse workforce that is representative of
the broader society. The Board with the assistance of the Remuneration Committee is overseeing the implementation and
approval of programs and measurable targets which are set out in more detail below.
Measurable Targets
The measurable targets set out in the OZ Minerals Diversity Policy assist in managing diversity and ensuring that diversity is
integrated into business and workforce planning. The table below sets out the measurable targets for 2012 and provides details
of the progress of the Company towards these targets.
Women comprise approximately 24 percent of the workforce directly employed by OZ Minerals and 17 percent of employees at
the Prominent Hill mine site. This compares well to the industry average of 14 percent and a lower percentage based at mine
sites.
The Company’s key challenge remains within the middle management group. Training and development efforts are
concentrated on providing our highly capable women with the tools to be successful to move into superintendent and senior
specialist level positions.
In line with the Diversity Policy, several programs have been developed to support women at OZ Minerals including the
female-specific Leading My Career Program, as well as the Emerging Leaders Program and a range of professional development
opportunities that target both high performing female and male employees.
Leading My Career has assisted the Company in working towards achieving its diversity goals by increasing the profile of women
within the Company and providing a platform for women to openly discuss their career goals with their managers.
The Company is pleased with its overall progress. However it will continue to work to improve diversity within its business to
reach its target of 25 percent across all job bands.

* The calculation for gender representation across job bands has been revised to include permanent full and part time
employees only. Job bands E and F have been combined due to low numbers of employees within senior management
positions. 2011 figures have been restated using this methodology.
In 2013, the Company will continue to pursue improved gender diversity in addition to its ongoing commitment to Aboriginal
employment programs. Details on progress against these commitments, in addition to detailed workforce statistics, can be
found in the OZ Minerals annual Sustainability Report which is available on the Company’s website.
Aboriginal Employment
As part of our commitment to diversity, the Company has a continuing focus on providing employment opportunities for
Aboriginal people. There are currently approximately 170 Aboriginal people working at Prominent Hill – one of the highest
representations of Aboriginal people within Australian mining workforces.
In 2012 the Company completed its eighth Pre-Employment Training Program, which continues to have success in enabling local
people that do not have experience within the industry to enter our workforce. Nine people from the nearby towns of Coober
Pedy and Oodnadatta graduated from the program this year and have taken up various positions at Prominent Hill, including
positions with some of our major contractors. To date, 68 people have obtained permanent positions at Prominent Hill through
this program, of which 70 percent are Aboriginal people. The Company has a number of support services in place to assist its
Pre-Employment Training Program graduates as they enter the workforce, including a Language, Literacy and Numeracy
Program and an on-site Indigenous Mining Mentor.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
The Audit Committee assists the Board in the effective discharge of its responsibilities in relation to financial reporting and
disclosure processes, internal financial controls, funding, financial risk and management, the internal and external audit functions
and the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management framework. The Audit Committee Charter and the membership details
of the Committee can be located on the Company’s website. The experience and qualification of each member of the Audit
Committee can be found on pages 16 to 18 of the Director’s Report. In addition, information on procedures for the selection
and appointment of the Company’s external auditor can be found in clause 6.2 of the Audit Committee Charter.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Company is committed to providing relevant up-to-date information to its shareholders and the broader investment
community in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements under the ASX Listing Rules and the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy and Continuous Disclosure Protocols and Procedures, which outline the
processes, and protocols and procedures for identifying information for disclosure. The policy and the protocols and procedures
aim to ensure that timely and accurate information is provided equally to all shareholders and market participants, consistent
with the Company’s commitment to its continuous disclosure obligations.
The policy and the protocols and procedures are reviewed annually by the Board and updates are made where considered
appropriate. The Company’s Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on the Company’s website.
Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are provided with all of the information necessary to assess the performance of the
Company. To achieve this, the Company has a Shareholder Communication Policy which outlines the process through which the
Company will endeavour to ensure timely and accurate information is provided equally to all shareholders.
In addition to releasing information to the ASX, the Company communicates to shareholders using a number of mediums
including the Company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Company’s website, email notifications and in published reports.
Shareholders are able to elect to receive email communications from the Company which include notifications by email of
dividend payment information.
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
The Board recognises that risk management and robust internal controls are fundamental to sound management, and it is a key
responsibility of the Board to review and monitor all the principal risks of the Company and its internal compliance and control
systems in relation to material business risks. The Board is assisted by the Audit Committee in monitoring the Company’s
financial risks and the processes and controls underlying the identification and monitoring of risks. The Sustainability Committee
assists the Board in monitoring the Company’s environmental, health, safety and community related risks.
Management is responsible for the design and implementation of risk management and internal control systems in relation to
material business risks. Management ensures that procedures exist (including utilisation of the Company’s Business
Improvement Program where appropriate) to monitor and review risks and, through observation and audit, gain assurance on at
least an annual basis that effective controls are implemented and consistently being applied.
Management of risks
The Company’s approach is to embed risk management into all the Company’s business systems, mining operations and
exploration activities, including its business improvement program, where appropriate. The Company’s risk framework is applied
to all risk aspects of the Company’s business and is used to identify, assess, evaluate, treat, monitor and communicate risks,
using a common methodology. The framework is aligned with ISO Standard 31000. Risks are ranked both pre-mitigating
controls and post mitigating controls and the rankings reflect different likelihoods and consequences arising from risks,
including metrics for Safety and Health, Environment, Community and Government, Reputation, Financial, Production,
Organisational Effectiveness, Compliance and Project Management. The Company is exposed to numerous risks across its
business, most of which are common to the mining industry. During 2012 the Board reviewed and updated the Company’s Risk
Management Policy, which details the Company’s approach to managing risks.
The risk framework and the consideration of the Company’s risk appetite is reviewed at least half-yearly by the Board and on a
quarterly basis by EXCO.
Internal control framework
The key controls that the Company has in place to ensure that its risks are managed effectively and to protect the Company’s
interests and ensure the integrity of its financial reporting include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
a robust planning and budgeting process for delivering a five year strategic plan and annual budgets with at least
monthly reporting against performance targets;
a delegations of authority manual that sets out authority levels for expenditure and commitments for different levels of
management within the Company, including detailed policies for the management of investment of surplus cash, debt
(if any) and foreign currency;
a capital approval process that controls the authorisation of capital expenditure and investments;
appropriate due diligence procedures for acquisitions and divestments; and
regular and timely reporting on safety incidents and actions to improve safety performance.
8
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
Internal audit
The Company has an internal audit function that provides assurance that the financial risks of the business are being identified
and monitors compliance with the Company’s policies and procedures. The function has been outsourced to Deloitte. The firm
conducts internal audit reviews in accordance with an audit plan approved by the Audit Committee. The internal audit plan is
formulated following identification of key risks in the areas of financial and information technology controls, compliance with
applicable laws and regulations and policies, fraud prevention and detection, plus specific services, as directed by the Company,
to ensure an effective control environment. During 2012 the internal audit function reviewed the Company’s risk maturity
including the Company’s processes and procedures with regard to risk management. Senior executives are responsible for
implementing corrective actions recommended as a result of internal audit reviews. Key findings from internal audit reviews are
reported to the Audit Committee. The internal audit function and the Audit Committee have direct access to each other and
have the necessary access to management and the right to seek information and explanations.
Management assurance
Prior to the Board approving the Company’s 2012 full year financial results, certifications from the MD&CEO and the CFO were
provided in relation to the Company’s system of risk oversight and management and compliance with internal controls in
relation to financial reporting risks.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Remuneration Committee provides recommendations and direction for the Company’s remuneration practices. The
Committee ensures that a significant proportion of each member of the executive management team’s remuneration is linked to
his or her performance and the Company’s performance. Performance reviews are conducted regularly to determine the
proportion of remuneration that will be ‘at risk’ for the upcoming year. The Company’s executives participate in a long term
incentive program that is linked to the Company’s performance against the Company’s peers in the resources industry. For
further details on this, see the Remuneration Report.
Board remuneration
The total annual remuneration paid to NEDs may not exceed the limit set by the shareholders at an Annual General Meeting
(currently $2.7 million). The remuneration of the NEDs is fixed rather than variable.
Further details in relation to Director and executive remuneration are set out in the Remuneration Report.

DIRECTORS' REPORT – CONTINUED
Review of results and operations, change in state of affairs and likely developments
Overview
OZ Minerals continued its consistent performance at Prominent Hill with production of copper at 101,737 tonnes and gold at
140,746 ounces, both within the Company’s stated guidance for 2012. This production was achieved at a C1 cash cost ('C1 cost')
of US120.0 cents per pound, at the upper end of the revised C1 cost guidance of US$1.10 to US$1.20 per pound. The completion
of the $200 million on-market share buyback demonstrated our commitment to capital management. An unfranked final
dividend of 20 cents per share was announced in February 2013, which was double the interim dividend of 10 cents per share
paid in September 2012, bringing the total dividend in respect of 2012 earnings to 30 cents per share. This equates to a payout
ratio of 60 percent of net profit from normal operations and is at the top of the payout range.
During 2012, the development of the Ankata underground mine was completed at a capital cost of $148 million and this was in
line with the overall project budget. The Ankata underground mine will augment copper production from the open pit where the
waste movement program will continue into 2013. Resource drilling for the twelve month period ended 30 June 2012 in the
Ankata underground has proven successful with an increase of 2.9Mt in 2012 Ore Reserves over 2011, representing about two
additional years of mining from this underground orebody.
Development of Phase 1 of the decline for the Malu Underground Mine was completed at the end of 2012, having been used for
exploration in this zone to this point. This decline is now being used to provide access to allow further delineation of the
resources beneath the open pit and for underground mine development with the objective of producing first stoping ore from
the Malu Underground Mine in 2014.
At Carrapateena, during 2012 a focused infill exploration drilling program was largely completed, with drilling results providing
extensions of mineralisation both laterally and at depth. An updated 2012 Mineral Resource was announced in January 2013
which led to a 43 percent increase over the 2011 Mineral Resources estimate at a 0.7% copper cut-off. At a 0.3% copper cut-off,
the 2012 Carrapateena Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources increase to 760Mt at 0.78% copper and 0.30g/t gold, which
demonstrates that this is a large mineralised system. The decision to buy a tunnel boring machine to develop the exploration
decline is indicative of the Company’s growing confidence in the Carrapateena resource and the intention to accelerate the
project towards a decision to mine.
Regional exploration at Carrapateena also proved to be successful with an exciting regional discovery being made at the
Khamsin prospect, approximately ten kilometres northwest of the Carrapateena deposit. Further exploration holes are being
drilled into this prospect in 2013.
2012 delivered robust earnings for the OZ Minerals Group with Underlying EBITDA of $334.1 million and Underlying
NPAT of $152.0 million.
Prominent Hill Mining Operations
Safety performance
OZ Minerals’ strategy for safety is based on the Company’s commitment to achieving Zero Harm by Choice. This commitment is
supported by the Company’s core values – Respect, Integrity, Action, Results – which underpin the behaviour of all OZ Minerals’
employees and contractors. OZ Minerals safety performance in 2012 continued the year-on-year improvement achieved since
2010. For the full year, Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (‘TRIFR’) per million hours worked was 10.49 (2011: 19.73), an
improvement of over 47 percent. The 2012 Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (‘LTIFR’) also decreased to 1.46 compared to a LTIFR
of 1.50 in 2011.
As part of the safety performance and improvement strategy that commenced in 2010, a behavioural based safety program, the
Peer Observation Program, commenced in 2012 to improve safety behaviour. OZ Minerals Peer Observation Program provides
our workforce with the tools to approach each other in a constructive way, to have a conversation about the task that the person
is performing and to identify ways to make it safer.
While the program is supported by management, the program’s strength lies in its ability to empower the workforce to take
proactive steps to drive positive safety behaviour. Employees have an increased awareness of potential exposure to risk and are
supported in seeking to eliminate the sources of risk in their working environment.
The Peer Observation Program to date has over 140 employee Peer Observers and has been successful in eliminating at-risk
behaviours that have previously caused injuries and incidents. In its first year, the program has facilitated over 1,350
‘observations’ and has seen an overall increase in the percentage of safe behaviours across the entire workforce.
Production from the Malu Open Pit and Ankata Underground
The Prominent Hill mining operations continued to deliver consistent production performance during 2012. Production and
C1 cost for 2012 met annual guidance with production of 101,737 tonnes of copper and 140,746 ounces of gold at a C1 cost
of US120.0 cents per pound, which was at the upper end of the revised guidance of US$1.10 to US$1.20 per pound.
During 2012, total material mined of 80.3Mt comprised 7.3Mt of ore and 73.0Mt of waste, a material movement record for the
operation. The increased productivity is mainly the result of several initiatives leading to improved availability, utilisation and
efficiencies within the open pit operations. Further identified opportunities to improve mining productivity will be implemented
in 2013.
11
DIRECTORS' REPORT – CONTINUED
The Ankata mine at Prominent Hill operations was commissioned in August 2012. The total capital costs for the development of
the Ankata underground mine of $148 million was in line with the budget for the project. The current year results include
five months of Ankata mine operation from commissioning. Production from Ankata for the year was 424,965 tonnes of ore
mined at an average copper grade of 2.89%.
Production guidance for 2013 is between 90,000 and 95,000 tonnes of copper and between 130,000 and 150,000 ounces of gold.
2013 represents a significant investment in the future production capacity of the Malu open pit. Activity levels in the Malu open
pit will peak in 2013 with over 90 million tonnes expected to be mined in waste and ore, primarily from Stage 3 of the pit.
Thereafter, this rate of waste mining will significantly decline, in line with the long term mine plan. C1 cost in 2013 is expected to
be in a range of US$1.50 to US$1.65 per pound. The increase in C1 cost over 2012 is primarily due to a full year of operations
from the Ankata underground mine, increased mining costs due to mining more basement waste from deeper in the open pit
(compared to previous mining of lighter overburden higher in the pit) and lower copper production leading to lower payable
metal.
Development at the Ankata Underground Mine
Underground resource delineation and grade control diamond drilling continued to improve definition and increase confidence
in the known mineral resource. Resource drilling shows high grade intercepts outside the Measured and Indicated Resource
areas as defined in the 2012 Prominent Hill Mineral Resource Statement. The Ankata Reserve increased by 2.9Mt for 30kt of
copper and 16koz of gold, which represents about two additional years of mining from this underground orebody. Further
drilling will be carried out in 2013 with the objective of expanding the resource and extending the life of the Ankata mine.
Development of the Malu Underground
Development of Phase 1 of the exploration decline for the Malu Underground Mine was completed during the fourth quarter.
The decline is now being used as access for further resource delineation drilling being undertaken beneath the Malu open pit,
specifically targeting known higher grade copper zones. Malu resource drilling will ramp-up throughout 2013 as hanging wall
collar positions are developed.
The scope of work in 2013 for the Malu Underground Mine project is to extend underground development to provide an
improved access location to conduct resource delineation drilling in the western part of the Resource. This will also see the
commencement of development of the first ore levels and subsequent pre-production activities such that first stoping ore can
be delivered during 2014.
The expected development costs including resource delineation drilling is expected to be around $60-$70 million for 2013.
As this 2013 expenditure will be directly related to the development of the Malu Underground, these costs will be capitalised in
the balance sheet.
Exploration project at Carrapateena
Exploration drilling during 2012 at Carrapateena continued with the objective to convert previously announced Inferred
Resources to Indicated Resources and to also further expand the resources envelope both laterally and at depth. Exploration
drilling was also undertaken in the northern exploration target area to bring this into Inferred Resource status. This work led to
the release of an updated Resource Statement on 21 January 2013. A significant part of the original (April 2011) Inferred
Resource and also part of the northern exploration target area has now been converted to Indicated Resource status. Additional
Inferred Resources have also been defined within the northern exploration target area and also directly beneath the main body
of the Indicated Resource. At a 0.7% cut-off the Mineral Resource increased by some 43 percent over the April 2011 estimate,
from 203Mt at 1.3% copper, 0.56g/t gold to 292Mt at 1.29% copper, 0.48g/t gold. At a 0.3% cut-off the 2012 Mineral Resource
estimate increases to 760Mt at 0.78% copper and 0.30g/t gold.
The OZ Minerals Board approved the construction of an exploration decline at the Carrapateena exploration project to allow the
assessment of the in-situ rock structures and competency. In December 2012, OZ Minerals signed a contract to purchase a
Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). The TBM will accelerate development of the exploration decline to allow further geotechnical
testing to be undertaken. The total cost of the TBM including commissioning is expected to be between $12-$15 million.
Commissioning of the TBM should be complete before the end of 2013. Expected development rates of the TBM are anticipated
to be between 350 and 550 metres per month. The TBM is expected to be at approximately 625 metres below surface by the end
of 2014 which will allow geotechnical testing, a time saving of approximately twelve months over traditional drill and blast
method.
The overall cost of the exploration decline is expected to be $100-$110 million, including the cost of purchasing,
remanufacturing and contract operation of the TBM.

Revenue from sale of concentrates was $985.7 million for the year. Copper prices remained very healthy in 2012, with the
average London Metal Exchange ('LME') price being US$3.61 per pound. However, this was lower than the record LME average
of US$4.00 per pound achieved in 2011 and this was the main contributor to 2012 revenue being $130.2 million (11.7 percent)
less than revenue in 2011. Lower revenue from gold sales was due to lower gold content in concentrates sold, with payable gold
sales approximately 20 percent lower than in 2011.
Revenue from sale of concentrate of $985.7 million for the year does not include net revenue of $24.9 million from sale of
concentrate produced from Ankata pre-commissioning activity. This net revenue has been offset against Ankata capitalised
development cost in property, plant and equipment.
During the financial year OZ Minerals divested its Cambodian exploration assets to Renaissance Minerals Limited ('Renaissance'),
resulting in an after tax profit of $18.8 million. In addition to the fair value of the consideration recognised of $19.6 million, the
Sale and Purchase Agreement with Renaissance provides for two further contingent receipts which are not recognised in the
income statement.
Costs of goods sold including employee benefit expenses increased by $96.0 million year on year. This was mainly due to the
following factors; a drawdown of concentrate and ore inventories, increased open pit mining costs, higher transport costs, and
operating costs associated with the Ankata underground mine which was not operating in the prior year.
As sales of concentrate exceeded the 2012 year’s production, concentrate stock was drawn from stockpiles built in the prior year.
This drawdown resulted in a stockpile expense of $8.7 million.
The lower ore mined in 2012 was due to the increased movement of waste in line with the long term mine plan. In order to
maintain mill feed rates and so copper production, ore mined in 2012 was supplemented from ore drawn from the run of mine
stockpile. This drawdown of ore stock resulted in an ore inventory movement expense of $28.0 million, as compared to an
increase in ore stockpiles of $46.4 million in 2011.
13
DIRECTORS' REPORT – CONTINUED
Open pit mining costs increased in 2012, primarily due to the increase in depth of the pit and the hardness of material mined, as
the open pit transitioned from removal of overburden to removal of basement waste. However, this increase in costs was largely
matched by the deferral of mining costs associated with waste stripping in excess of the life of mine waste stripping ratio to the
balance sheet. These deferred costs will be then matched against future ore production from the open pit.
The Ankata underground mine commenced production in August 2012 and incurred operating costs of $19.9 million.
Transport and logistics costs increased by $13.8 million primarily reflecting higher road and rail costs in 2012.
Exploration expense for the year was $114.1 million, which included $27.5 million of exploration infrastructure costs related to
the Carrapateena project. Exploration at Prominent Hill was $43.7 million. Exploration expenditure on the Carrapateena
exploration project during the year was $31.2 million. During the year, $3.5 million was spent on exploration of the IMX joint
venture area. A further $8.2 million was spent in global project generation activities.
Corporate costs of $51.0 million for the year are largely in line with the comparative year. Corporate costs include various
group-wide activities such as the costs associated with insurance premiums and departments which manage functions for
Prominent Hill, Carrapateena and Exploration including information technology, strategic sourcing and sales and marketing.
The net foreign exchange loss of $11.3 million in 2012 compares to the foreign exchange gain of $5.3 million in 2011. The end of
year A$:US$ exchange rate strengthened by approximately two percent resulting in the foreign exchange loss.
During 2012, OZ Minerals foreign exchange conversions totalled US$900.6 million in order to meet Australian dollar expenses
and maintain the Company’s cash management policy.
Underlying EBITDA of $334.1 million for 2012 is lower than the underlying EBITDA of $585.6 million in 2011 mainly due to the
revenue and cost factors discussed above together with increased exploration associated with Carrapateena during the year
compared with 2011.
Depreciation and amortisation expense of $154.9 million was lower in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to lower ore tonnes
mined. Mine property and development is depreciated based on units of production of ore mined while fixed processing plant is
depreciated based on units of ore processed. Depreciation of infrastructure is on a straight line basis over the life of mine.
Net financing income for the year was $19.9 million, comprising interest income of $23.5 million earned on cash deposits,
partially offset by bank charges on borrowing facilities of $2.4 million, and the unwind of the net present value discount on the
provision for mine rehabilitation of $1.2 million.
The property, plant and equipment balance at 31 December 2012 was $1,357.6 million, an increase of $114.2 million from
31 December 2011. The movement in property, plant and equipment during the financial year was mainly attributable to
expenditure capitalised in relation to the Ankata Mine and sustaining capital expenditure of $125.2 million, a net increase in
capitalised deferred mining of $165.0 million, offset by net revenue from sale of Ankata pre commissioning ore of $24.9 million
and depreciation expense of $154.9 million.
OZ Minerals held a cash balance of $659.0 million at the end of December 2012 compared to $886.1 million as at 31 December
2011. The significant items contributing to this movement were payment of dividends of $124.6 million, payments for the share
buyback of $100.1 million, payments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment of $290.2 million, payments for assets
purchased and leased back to Thiess of $63.7 million, offset by net cash inflows from operating activities of $318.8 million.
Other matters
Dividend and share buyback
In line with its Dividend Policy of paying dividends between 30 to 60 percent of net profit after tax from normal operations on an
annual basis, the Company paid dividends of $94.3 million in March 2012 relating to profit for the year ended 31 December
2011 and $30.3 million in September 2012 relating to profit for the six months to 30 June 2012. The total dividend for 2012 of
30 cents per share represents 60 percent of NPAT and therefore at the top end of the Dividend Policy range.
Since the end of the financial period, the Board of Directors has resolved to pay an unfranked dividend of 20 cents per share, to
be paid on 12 March 2013. The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 26 February 2013. The financial impact of this
dividend amounting to $60.7 million has not been recognised in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2012
and will be recognised in subsequent Financial Statements. This dividend has been declared to be conduit foreign income for
Australian income tax purposes.
During the year, OZ Minerals completed the $200 million on-market share buyback program which had commenced in August
2011. The total amount of shares bought back was 20,407,492 at an average price of $9.80 per share. During the year,
10,901,828 shares amounting to $100.1 million were bought back and cancelled. Following the cancellation of the shares bought
back, OZ Minerals has 303,470,022 ordinary shares on issue as at 31 December 2012.
14
DIRECTORS' REPORT – CONTINUED
Management of train derailment incident
Following the incident in late December 2011, when a mixed freight rail train was derailed at Edith River, Northern Territory,
OZ Minerals recovered a significant volume of the spilled concentrates back to Prominent Hill. There have been no measurable
effects on the Edith River environment from the concentrates’ spillage.
Transport and logistics for Prominent Hill concentrates
As part of OZ Minerals risk management initiatives during 2010 and 2011, the introduction of a concentrate transportation
system using containers and a rotainer device, enabling the unloading of concentrates from the container directly into ships’
holds, had been planned. In early 2012, OZ Minerals commenced transportation and export of concentrates from the Port of
Adelaide using this system and this has been in operation since that time.
Thiess contract and property plant and equipment
In February 2012, a new six year contract was entered into with Thiess Pty Ltd ('Thiess') for the provision of mining services to
OZ Minerals’ Prominent Hill mining operations. Ancillary to this contract, OZ Minerals agreed to purchase certain mining
equipment from Thiess and effectively lease this back to Thiess on an interest free basis to be used in the provision of the
mining services. Upon termination of the mining services contract, Thiess has agreed to re-purchase this equipment. This is
expected to result in overall cost savings compared to the provision of this equipment through the mining services contract.
During the year, twelve trucks were acquired from Thiess at a total cost of $60.0 million before stamp duty. The amount paid will
be recovered by OZ Minerals progressively over the mining services contract through a reduced mining services charge by
Thiess to OZ Minerals. Upon termination of the mining services contract, any carrying value of lease receivable will be recovered
by resale of the equipment to Thiess.

DIRECTORS' REPORT – CONTINUED
Environmental regulation
OZ Minerals is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect of its activities in both Australia and overseas. In
addition to the licensing and permit arrangements which apply to its overseas activities, the Company’s Prominent Hill
operations, Australian exploration activities and its concentrate shipping activities operate under various licences and permits
under the laws of the Commonwealth, States and Territories.
Compliance with the Company’s licenses and permits is monitored on a regular basis and in various forms, including
environmental audits conducted by the Company, regulatory authorities and other third parties. A documented process is used
by the Company to classify and report any exceedance of a licence condition or permit condition, as well as any incident
reportable to the relevant authorities. As part of this process, all reportable environmental non-compliances and significant
incidents are reviewed by the Executive Committee and the Sustainability Committee of the OZ Minerals Board of Directors.
These incidents require a formal report to be prepared identifying the factors that contributed to the incident or non-
compliance and the actions taken to prevent any reoccurrence.
During 2012, recovery works at the Edith River train derailment were completed and the Northern Territory Environment and
Protection Agency and the Department of Lands, Planning and the Environment (formerly Department of Natural Resources,
Environment, the Arts and Sport (‘NRETAS’)) completed and closed their environmental investigations concluding, in
December 2012, that there was no evidence of environmental harm.
OZ Minerals commenced the licence and permitting process for the Company’s Carrapateena Project with the Department for
Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy (‘DMITRE’) under the South Australian Mining Act 1971 and other
necessary state legislation. The application for a Retention Lease was made in September 2012 and will continue into 2013.
In August 2012 the Department for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (‘SEWPAC’) completed their
assessment of the project and determined that activities proposed were not controlled actions under the Environmental
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) requirements and that no further assessment under the Act was required.
During the year, OZ Minerals completed its fourth report under the National Greenhouse and Energy Report Act 2009 (‘NGERS’).
Prior to the submission of the report, a comprehensive independent audit by Net Balance Management Group Pty Ltd was
conducted on the processes that OZ Minerals has developed to meet the requirements of the NGERS Act. The audit provided
assurance that the reported emissions, energy production and energy consumption were prepared in accordance with the
NGERS Act. OZ Minerals continues to participate in the Australian Government’s Energy Efficiency Opportunities program and
has commenced its second five year cycle.
Insurance and indemnity
The Consolidated Entity has granted indemnities under Deeds of Indemnity with each of its current and former Non-Executive
Directors and members of the Executive Committee, the Company Secretary, the Group Treasurer and each employee who is a
director or officer of a controlled entity of the Consolidated Entity, in conformity with Rule 10.2 of the OZ Minerals Limited
Constitution.
Each Deed of Indemnity indemnifies the relevant director, officer or employee to the fullest extent permitted by law for liabilities
incurred while acting as an officer of OZ Minerals, any of its related bodies corporate and any outside entity, where such an
office is held at the request of the Company. The Consolidated Entity has a policy that it will, as a general rule, support and hold
harmless an employee who, while acting in good faith, incurs personal liability to others as a result of working for the
Consolidated Entity.
No indemnity has been granted to an auditor of the Consolidated Entity in their capacity as auditors of the Consolidated Entity.
Proceedings on behalf of the Consolidated Entity
At the date of this report there are no leave applications or proceedings brought on behalf of the Consolidated Entity under
section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 40 and forms part of the
Directors’ Report.
The Company, with the prior approval of the Audit Committee, may decide to employ the external auditor on assignments
additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Consolidated Entity are
important, and where these services does not impair the external auditor’s independence.

In accordance with the advice received from the Audit Committee, the Board is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit
services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The
directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as set out above, did not compromise the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
•
All non-audit services have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they did not impact the integrity and
objectivity of the external auditor; and
• None of the services undermined the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in
a management or a decision-making capacity for OZ Minerals Limited or its controlled entities, acting as advocate for
the Company or jointly sharing economic risk and rewards.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
In January 2013, OZ Minerals announced to the ASX the updated Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement for the
Prominent Hill operations and an Ore Resources update for Carrapateena.
Since the end of the financial year, the Board of Directors has resolved to pay an unfranked dividend of 20 cents per share, to be
paid on 12 March 2013. The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 26 February 2013. The financial impact of this
dividend amounting to $60.7 million has not been recognised in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2012
and will be recognised in subsequent Financial Statements.
There have been no other events that have occurred subsequent to the reporting date which have significantly affected or may
significantly affect the consolidated entity’s operations, results or state of affairs in future years.
Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission,
(‘ASIC’) relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the Directors’ Report. Amounts in the Directors’ Report have been rounded
off in accordance with the Class Order to the nearest million dollars to one decimal place, or in certain cases, to the nearest
dollar. All amounts are in Australian dollars only, unless otherwise stated.

REMUNERATION OVERVIEW
This general overview should be read in conjunction with the attached Remuneration Report. Its purpose is to provide an
executive summary of some of the Company’s remuneration arrangements during the year.
The Company’s remuneration arrangements have been designed to maintain alignment with the shareholders’ interests
(both short term and long term) and to ensure remuneration remains competitive. This is to enable the Company to retain and
attract talented people, who are vital to delivering a sustainable and prosperous future, and therefore achieve its strategic
objectives and maximise shareholder value. The Company’s remuneration policy and structure for its senior executives who are
key management personnel (‘Executive KMPs’) is unchanged from the previous year and comprises two main components:
•
•
a fixed component which is the total base salary and, for Australian employees, includes compulsory employer
superannuation contributions; and
a variable ‘at risk’ component which is performance based and comprises a cash short term performance incentive
(‘STI’) plan that is linked to both the performance of the Company and individual performance, and an Executive Long
Term Incentive (‘LTI’) program under which executives, at the discretion of the Board, are offered performance rights
which vest if the Company achieves certain hurdles over a three year period linked to Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’)
against a comparator group of companies.
During 2012 the Board, with the assistance of the Remuneration Committee and external remuneration consultants, undertook a
number of reviews of the remuneration structure and components of the remuneration package of the Managing Director and
Chief Executive Officer (‘MD&CEO’). Apart from a number of minor refinements that are planned to be made to the STI and LTI
programs for 2013 as described below, these reviews confirmed that Mr Burgess’ remuneration package is largely in line with the
current practices of comparable companies and is consistent with the Company’s remuneration policy and guiding principles as
set out in the attached Remuneration Report. Details of the reviews are set out below. Details of the appointment of external
remuneration consultants are also set out in the Remuneration Report.
•
•
•
A detailed review was undertaken of the current structure of the STI plan. Following this review, a determination was
made that the current STI plan arrangements are largely set at the right level of remuneration opportunity, and that
the performance measures that were set for 2012 appropriately align the MD&CEO’s performance with key business
objectives. There was some tightening of the measures from those set for 2011, to ensure that there is even greater
clarity about the level of reward provided for varying levels of achievement. The performance measures for the
2013 KPIs have been further developed as described in the Remuneration Report.
As part of the STI review the Board once again considered whether any portion of the MD&CEO’s STI payment should
be converted into equity and deferred to encourage consideration being given to matters beyond the twelve month
performance period. The Board confirmed its view that it was neither appropriate nor necessary to require such
deferral or conversion into equity bearing in mind the strategy and philosophy behind the STIs; the industry in which
the Company operates and the nature of the KPIs that are set which are based largely on factual measurable outcomes
that have little chance of manifesting a different outcome over a deferral period; and the fact that Mr Burgess
continues to voluntarily elect to set aside each month $20,000 of his after tax salary towards the purchase of
OZ Minerals shares under the Company’s Regular Share Acquisition Plan. The shares are held in trust for him and
cannot be sold except with the consent of the Chairman.
A comprehensive review was undertaken of the current LTI Program to ensure the program achieved the long term
incentive and shareholder alignment objectives of the program and was consistent with remuneration governance
standards and guidelines, and current practices of comparable companies. The scope of the review included a review
of the structure and design of the program, the performance and service conditions including whether relative TSR
either alone or in combination with some other internal or external measure should be used, terms of offer, frequency
and timing of offer, and whether the Good Leaver and Change of Control provisions continued to be appropriate. The
Board also determined that TSR relative to a selected comparator group of companies continued to be the most
appropriate performance condition as it is simple and transparent in its application and is best aligned to the long
term interests of the shareholders, and that the Good Leaver provisions and Change of Control provisions, which were
subject to the discretion of the Board, continued to be applicable. It considered that it would be desirable for greater
transparency and administrative reasons, to more closely align the timing of the issue of the performance rights to a
date after the annual general meeting and that this change is planned to be implemented from July 2014, with only a
50 percent allocation of Long Term Incentive Plans (‘LTIP’) in December 2013 (December being the existing month for
allocation) to take into account the earlier date for issue in 2014. For the 2012 LTIPs, a new comparator group has been
selected as set out in the Remuneration Report. The basis for selection was to maximise the number of copper
companies in the group where possible and, having regard to the limited number globally, include some significant
gold and diversified metals companies, but exclude companies which are predominately smelting companies or with
material government interests or influences.
•
The Board undertook a review of whether the proportion of fixed remuneration, short term incentives and long term
incentives as part of the total remuneration package continued to be appropriate and concluded that no change
should be made as the proportions continued to be appropriate, but determined that this would be monitored
regularly.

Remuneration details prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and accounting standards are set out in Table 7 in
the Remuneration Report.
Following a Company-wide review of remuneration packages, it was determined that there would be no increase in the fixed
annual remuneration of senior staff including the Executive KMPs for 2013.
Remuneration Outcomes for Executive KMPs received for 2012
Outlined in the unaudited table below are details of the remuneration delivered to the Executive KMPs for the financial year
2012, after taking into account their performance. It includes all fixed and at risk components to which the Executive KMPs have
become entitled (i.e. those that have vested upon satisfaction of relevant performance conditions). This table does not comply
with the accounting standards. It has been prepared to disclose the value of remuneration received by the MD&CEO and the
other two Executive KMPs (‘Other Executive KMPs’), including the amount (if any) ‘realised’ in the current financial year with
respect to long term incentive grants awarded in prior years.
For full details of the audited cost to the Company of the remuneration of the MD&CEO and Other Executive KMPs, calculated in
accordance with the accounting standards and the Corporations Act 2001, refer Table 7 of the Remuneration Report.
The Corporations Act 2001 requires information in Table 7 of the Remuneration Report to incorporate the relevant definitions
and classifications from the accounting standards, that are based upon accrual accounting and which require a valuation to be
placed upon LTIPs that have not vested in the year and which may not vest in future years, unless the performance conditions
are met. Unlike Table 7 of the Remuneration Report the table below does not include the value of any LTIPs that have not vested
in the year. For accounting purposes, the value of performance-based or ‘at risk' remuneration in the form of share based long
term incentives grants is calculated at the time of the grant. As noted above, this is in advance of the determination of the actual
remuneration received by the Executive KMPs which is contingent on performance outcomes. The table below also, unlike Table
7 of the Remuneration Report which reflects the requirements under the accounting standards, does not include any accrued
long service leave which the Executive KMPs are only entitled to receive upon reaching the qualifying period or accrued annual
leave that has not been cashed out or taken.

(a) The cash salary reflects the total amount of fixed pay received by the Executive KMP during 2012, as set out in Table 7 in the Remuneration Report.
(b) The STI amount represents the value of STI which will be paid to executives in mid-February 2013 that relates to the achievement of the relevant
performance conditions in respect of the 2012 financial year, as set out in Table 7 of the Remuneration Report. While the STI for the 2011 financial year
was paid during 2012 this amount is not included in the table for 2012 as it relates to the achievement of performance conditions in respect of the 2011
financial year and was included in the calculation of the STI for 2011.
(c) For the value of share based long term incentives calculated in accordance with the accounting standards, refer to Table 7 in the Remuneration Report.
This Long Term Incentive column is unaudited and records the actual value realised by the Executive KMP rather than the value calculated according to
the accounting standards. As no rights vested during 2012 and 2011, the amount is nil for those years.
24
REMUNERATION OVERVIEW – CONTINUED
(d) Other amounts include the value (where applicable) of benefits such as compulsory annual health checks, car parking or other benefits that are available
to all employees of OZ Minerals. These amounts have been determined in accordance with the accounting standards, are inclusive of Fringe Benefits Tax
where applicable and are consistent with the amounts disclosed in the total remuneration in Table 7 of the Remuneration Report. They do not include
net accruals for long service leave or accrued annual leave.
Performance of the OZ Minerals Group
The Company measures the success of its operations by the achievement of superior TSR and performance based remuneration
is determined by the achievement of overall Group performance and strategic objectives. These objectives include financial,
production, growth, sustainability and reputational improvement objectives. These principles were considered when setting each
Executive KMP’s Key Performance Indicators (‘KPIs’) and when reviewing their performance and determining the amount of STI
that would be paid to each of them for 2012.
Table 3 of the Remuneration Report reflects the performance of the OZ Minerals Group for 2012. As evident from the
Remuneration Report the Company has had a satisfactory earnings performance during 2012. OZ Minerals remains in a strong
financial position with a cash balance as at 31 December 2012 of $659 million. This is notwithstanding the fact that over the last
two years, it has returned significant funds to shareholders through a range of capital management initiatives and dividend
payments. The Company paid dividends to shareholders in 2012 of a total amount of 40 cents per share equivalent to
approximately $124.6 million and has announced that it will pay a further dividend of 20 cents per share to be paid in
March 2013. In 2011 it also returned share capital totalling $388.6 million and announced an on-market share buyback program
of up to $200 million which was completed in June 2012.
Copper production of 101,737 tonnes and gold production of 140,746 ounces were within the Company’s stated guidance at
100,000 to 110,000 tonnes of copper and between 130,000 and 150,000 ounces of gold production. However, total targeted
waste movement was not achieved in 2012 primarily due to weather related events in the first quarter of 2012. A number of
successful initiatives to increase open pit mining rates were implemented with further productivity improvement initiatives
planned for 2013.
In the area of Sustainability there has been continued improvement in safety performance with the total recordable injury
frequency rate per one million hours reduced from 19.73 in 2011 to 10.49 in 2012 and the lost time injury frequency rate slightly
reduced from 1.50 to 1.46. There were no permanent or serious disabling injuries in 2012. The framework for safety leadership
and cultural change that was developed in 2011 was successfully rolled out at Prominent Hill operations in 2012.
Despite recruitment of a relatively large number of underground personnel, the percentage of female employees has not
reduced in 2012. There are also a number of examples of positive initiatives for female advancement such as the
Leading My Career program for 2012. Increasing female participation in general operations supervisor levels remains a priority
for 2013.
In the area of Growth, the Company’s business development activities and investments have been highly disciplined with regard
to the core requirement of seeking value-adding opportunities, while at the same time meeting the Company’s criteria of
commodity, scale, geography and project status. There was a reaffirmation of the Company‘s strategy on 24 January 2013 where
a review was undertaken of the Company‘s strategy and the Company’s progress in delivering against this strategy. While the
Company has reviewed a significant number of projects in 2012 at various stages including formal due diligence, neither
Management nor the OZ Minerals Board was prepared to proceed with transactions on terms that were not regarded to be
value-adding or in line with the Company’s strategic objectives. The Executive KMPs’ performance in this area is assessed
primarily on the quality of growth opportunities submitted to the Board, rather than the number of transactions entered into by
the Company.
There has been good progress at Carrapateena with key milestones achieved and initiatives introduced to accelerate the
timeline for potential development of the resource. The infill exploration drilling program at Carrapateena has produced some
outstanding results and seen mineralisation extending beyond the 2011 resource both laterally and at depth. On
21 January 2013, OZ Minerals released an updated Mineral Resource statement for the Carrapateena project which indicated a
43 percent increase in the Mineral Resource at a 0.7% copper cut-off grade. There has also been good progress with the Malu
decline and development of the Malu Underground. This program will be accelerated in 2013 with the objective to produce first
stoping ore from the Malu Underground in 2014. The Board has considered the Company’s performance as described above,
each Executive KMP's individual performance against their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and their contribution towards
achieving the Company’s performance, in assessing the amount of STI payable to the executive for 2012. A description of the
KPIs for the Executive KMPs is set out in the Remuneration Report and the Board’s assessment of the performance of these
Executive KMPs against their KPIs.

REMUNERATION OVERVIEW – CONTINUED
Developments for 2013
A review was undertaken by the Board of the MD&CEO’s remuneration with the assistance of the Remuneration Committee,
following which the Board determined not to increase his remuneration for 2013 in light of the current market conditions.
No external remuneration consultants were engaged to assist with this review however the Remuneration Committee took into
account published market data including reported remuneration for key management personnel of the top one hundred
ASX listed companies.
Mr Burgess’ KPIs for 2013 have been set to further refine the structure that had been set for 2012 to take into account the areas
of focus of the Company. There is a 40 percent weighting for targets relating to operational and financial performance (including
achievement of EBITDA target); 35 percent weighting for targets relating to growth; and 25 percent weighting for targets
relating to sustainability performance (including safety). The STI ‘gate’ has been modified to make it broader and less specific so
that the availability of the Executive KMP STI pool is subject to the discretion of the Board. The performance outcomes for 2013
have also been refined for each measure so that budgeted performance which is set at a pre-determined challenging level
(‘target’) is a 70 percent outcome; a 100 percent outcome is associated with outstanding performance set at a pre-determined
stretch level (‘stretch’) and a below plan threshold is set at a pre-determined minimum level (‘minimum’) of 50 percent, with no
payment below that threshold except at the Board's discretion. This refinement was made to ensure that the STI is positioned as
a truly variable annual incentive, where challenging performance measures are set to incentivise superior performance, with
specific targets or metrics in each.
A review was also undertaken of the Board and Committee fees and it was resolved by the Board not to increase the fees for
2013. No external remuneration consultants were engaged to assist with this review.

REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
2. Remuneration policy
Overview of remuneration policy and practices
The remuneration policy outlined below demonstrates the linkage between remuneration and business strategies and the
impact that those imperatives have on the actual remuneration arrangements of the Company. The overriding business objective
is to achieve superior returns compared to its peers in the resources sector.
The Company’s remuneration policy is underscored by the following guidelines on remuneration:
Business needs and market alignment
OZ Minerals’ remuneration policy is designed to facilitate the achievement of corporate objectives. It is based on current
remuneration practices and is aligned with the achievement of TSR.
Simplicity and equity
OZ Minerals’ remuneration philosophy, policy, principles and structures are simple to understand, communicate and implement,
and are equitable across the Company and its diverse workforce.
Performance and reward linkages
Well designed remuneration policy supports and drives Company and team performance and encourages the demonstration of
desired behaviours. Performance measures and targets are few in number, outcome-focused and customised at an individual
level to maximise performance, accountability and reward linkages.
Market positioning and remuneration mix
Remuneration comprises fixed remuneration, and incentive (or ’at-risk‘) remuneration, which is determined by corporate and
individual performance. Fixed remuneration is competitive, positioned to have regard to the challenges of attracting and
retaining high contributors in business critical roles, particularly in the mining industry. Additional remuneration incentives are
delivered through ’at risk’ remuneration programs. The Company targets fixed remuneration plus ’at target‘ remuneration
incentives at the 75th percentile of relevant external market rates, for business critical roles.
Talent management and reward linkages
Remuneration policy is tightly linked with the performance and talent management frameworks in order to reward and
recognise the achievement of role accountabilities and to support the engagement of future leaders.
Governance, transparency and communication with shareholders
OZ Minerals is committed to developing and maintaining remuneration policy and practices that are targeted at the
achievement of corporate objectives and the maximisation of shareholder value. It will openly communicate this to shareholders
and other relevant stakeholders, and will always be within the boundaries of legal, regulatory and industrial requirements. The
Board has absolute discretion in the development, implementation and review of the key aspects of remuneration.
Key principles of Executive KMP remuneration
Executive remuneration is comprised of fixed remuneration and at-risk incentive based remuneration. At-risk remuneration is
that part of executives’ and other employees’ remuneration which is tied to achievement of a combination of Company, site,
team and individual performance objectives, to the creation of shareholder value and, for some executives, the satisfaction of
retention conditions. There are two components of at-risk remuneration - the STI and LTI.
To ensure that executive remuneration remains consistent with the Company’s remuneration policy and guiding principles,
remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board with the assistance of the Remuneration Committee and, where needed,
external remuneration consultants. In conducting the remuneration review the Board considers:
the remuneration policy and practices;
the core skills and experience required of each role in order to grade positions accurately;
•
•
• market benchmarks using salary survey data from the Australian Industrials and Resources sectors;
•
individual performance against key job objectives as specified in the person’s annual performance contract, and with
comparison against their peers; and
•
business plans and budgets.
28
REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
Box 2.1 - Questions and answers about Executive KMP remuneration
Remuneration mix
What is the balance
between fixed and ‘at
risk’ remuneration?
Fixed remuneration
The mix of fixed and at-risk remuneration varies depending on the role and grading of executives
(being the MD&CEO, direct reports to the MD&CEO and heads of divisions), and also depends on
the performance of the Company and individual executives. More senior positions have a greater
proportion of at risk remuneration.
For all Executive KMPs, it is possible that no at-risk remuneration will be earned and that fixed
remuneration will represent 100 percent of total remuneration.
If maximum at-risk remuneration is earned, the ratio percentage of fixed to at-risk remuneration
would be:
• MD&CEO: 35.7 percent fixed, 64.3 percent at-risk; and
•
Other Executive KMPs: 38.5 percent fixed and 61.5 percent at risk.
What is included in fixed
remuneration?
Fixed remuneration provides a regular base reward that reflects the job size, role, responsibilities
and professional competence of each executive, according to their knowledge, experience and
accountabilities and considering external market relativities.
An Executive KMP’s fixed remuneration comprises salary and other benefits (including statutory
superannuation contributions) that may be taken in an agreed form, including cash, leased motor
vehicles and additional superannuation, provided that no extra cost is incurred by the Company.
When and how is fixed
remuneration reviewed?
Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually. Any adjustments to the fixed remuneration for the
MD&CEO and the Other Executive KMPs must be approved by the Board after recommendation by
the Remuneration Committee. The Company seeks to position the fixed remuneration at between
the 50th and 75th percentile of salaries for comparable companies within the mining market and,
where appropriate, the broader general industry market.
STI
What is the STI Plan?
Why does the Board
consider an STI Plan is
appropriate?
The STI plan is a variable, performance based, annual cash incentive scheme designed to reward
high performance against challenging, clearly defined and measurable objectives that are based on
a mixture of targets and are set to incentivise superior performance, with specific targets or metrics
in each category.
Variable performance based remuneration strengthens the link between pay and performance. The
purpose of these programs is to make a large proportion of the total market reward package
subject to meeting various targets linked to OZ Minerals’ business objectives. The use of variable
performance based remuneration avoids much higher levels of fixed remuneration and is designed
to focus and motivate employees to achieve outcomes beyond the standard expected in the
normal course of ongoing employment. A reward structure that provides variable performance
based remuneration is also necessary as a competitive remuneration package in the Australian and
global marketplace for executives.
Does the STI take into
account different levels
of performance
compared to objectives?
Yes, the STI plan has both target and maximum performance outcomes. To achieve ‘target’
performance, an executive had to achieve agreed business and individual objectives. To achieve
‘maximum’ performance, the executive must have achieved exceptional business and individual
performance outcomes. Weightings are applied by the Board to a range of specific performance
categories which are monitored during and assessed at the end of the relevant financial year.
Subject to performance, the range of outcomes for the STI will be zero - 100 percent of fixed
annual remuneration for the MD&CEO and zero – 80 percent for Other Executive KMPs.
29
REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
What are the
performance
conditions?
The performance conditions (‘KPIs’) are set at the beginning of each year and are designed to drive
successful and sustainable financial and business outcomes and are set with reference to the Board
approved corporate objectives, plans and budget.
The KPIs for the MD&CEO for 2012 comprised:
•
•
•
growth performance of the Company with a weighting of 40 percent which was assessed
against implementation of approved strategy; quality and strategic alignment of
acquisition and other growth opportunities presented to the Board; reserve and resource
development through completion of the exploration decline below the Malu open pit;
and extent of progress in the Prominent Hill regional exploration program;
production performance of the Company with a weighting of 30 percent which was
assessed against achievement of production related targets that include volume of ore
and waste mined at the open pit and underground mines, ore milled, ore grades and
cost to concentrate; and
safety and sustainability performance of the Company with a weighting of 30 percent
which was assessed against achievement of safety targets (such as ability to demonstrate
progressive actions against cultural change goals, improvements in lost time injury (‘LTI’)
and lost time injury frequency rate (‘LTIFR’)), no significant community incidents nor
environmental non-compliances nor significant incidents; and improvement in female
gender diversity at all management and operational levels.
The functional KPIs for the CFO related to the achievement of targets and objectives in the
functional areas over which he has responsibility being finance, tax, treasury, commercial services,
information technology and business systems and sales & marketing, and the KPIs for his individual
performance related to his contribution as a member of the Executive Committee, towards the
development and implementation of the Company’s strategy in all areas of the Company.
The functional KPIs for the GC&CS related to the achievement of targets and objectives in the
functional areas over which she has responsibility being the general oversight of legal issues
relating to the Company and company secretarial and Board governance matters and remuneration
benefits, and the KPIs for her individual performance related to her contribution as a manager of
the functional areas over which she has responsibility and as a member of the Executive Committee
towards the development and implementation of the Company’s strategy in all areas of the
Company.
Is there an overriding
financial performance
condition or other
condition?
Yes there is. In addition to the three categories of KPIs described above, the Board had the
discretion to refuse to pay any 2012 STI, or to reduce the STI that would otherwise be payable, to
the MD&CEO, CFO and GC&CS, if, having regard to matters within the control of Management, the
Board is not satisfied with the EBIT outcome of the Company for 2012 measured against 80 percent
budgeted EBIT for the year (in recognition of the stretch nature of the EBIT target) or a catastrophic
safety, environmental or community event has occurred.
How were the
performance conditions
determined?
The KPIs were set and weighted by the Board to ensure that the MD&CEO’s 2012 STIs were linked
to the Company’s performance against its key business and strategic objectives and key areas of
focus for the year, such as further progressing the Company’s growth objectives and improving the
Company’s safety performance and culture. Regard is also had to the specific performance of the
MD&CEO and his ability to influence the outcome of the Company’s performance. See Table 4A for
a description of the KPIs that were achieved and the percentage of STI rewarded in respect of each
KPI.
The KPIs for each of the Other Executive KMPs were determined by the MD&CEO after consultation
with them and endorsement by the Board. As stated above, the KPIs are determined having regard
to the performance conditions set for the MD&CEO and the key areas of focus within their
functional responsibilities as contemplated in the business plan and Company’s strategy. The
weighting for the Other Executive KMPs was 30 percent relating to the Company’s performance,
30 percent relating to functional performance, and 40 percent relating to individual performance.
See Table 4B for a description of the KPIs that were achieved and the percentage of STI rewarded
in respect of each KPI for those Other Executive KMPs.
What is the value of the
STI opportunity?
For 2012, the STI reward opportunity for the MD&CEO at ‘target’ was 50 percent of the total fixed
remuneration, and up to 100 percent of the total fixed remuneration for ‘maximum’ performance.
The STI reward opportunity for the Other Executive KMPs at ‘target’ was 40 percent of the total
fixed remuneration and up to 80 percent for ‘maximum’ performance. If the executive leaves
OZ Minerals then the Good Leaver Policy may apply (subject to the executive’s contract) and, if the
requirements are met, the STI may be granted on a pro rata basis in relation to the period of
service completed, subject to the discretion of the Board and conditional upon the individual
performance of the relevant executive.
30
REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
How is STI assessed?
The MD&CEO assesses the business performance of the executive team throughout the year for
progress and improvement, to arrive at a summary assessment at year end for discussion with the
Remuneration Committee and the Board.
As a higher level review, the Board also reviews the performance assessment of all executives who
report directly to the MD&CEO, with a view to understanding, endorsing and/or discussing
individual circumstances and potential.
The Remuneration Committee and the Board assess the performance of the MD&CEO against the
performance targets and objectives set for that year.
LTIP
What is the LTI Program
(LTIP)?
The LTIP is the equity component of the at-risk reward opportunity and is linked to the Company’s
medium to long term TSR performance.
Why does the Board
consider a LTIP is
appropriate?
What types of equity
may be granted under
the LTIP?
Was a grant made in
2012?
The Company believes that a LTIP can:
•
•
•
•
•
focus and motivate employees to achieve outcomes beyond the standard expected in
the normal course of ongoing employment;
ensure that business decisions and strategic planning have regard to the Company’s
long term performance;
be consistent with contemporary remuneration governance standards and guidelines;
be consistent and competitive with current practices of comparable companies; and
create an immediate ownership mindset among the executive participants, linking a
substantial portion of their potential total reward to OZ Minerals’ ongoing share price
and returns to shareholders.
Performance Rights are granted under the OZ Minerals LTIP as further detailed in the table below.
A grant was made on 21 December 2012 to all continuing participants in the LTIP. The number of
performance rights granted to each executive was calculated by reference to the volume weighted
average share price on the five trading days up to and including the grant date being $7.00 per
share. The terms and conditions of the grant are similar to the previous grants issued since 2009.
What are the
performance
conditions?
The performance conditions are: (a) the executive meeting the Service Condition; and
(b) OZ Minerals meeting the LTIP Performance Condition. The two conditions are referred to as the
Vesting Conditions.
Service condition
The service condition is met if employment with OZ Minerals is continuous for three years
commencing on the grant date (‘performance period’). If the executive leaves the Company as a
good leaver before the end of the service condition period then the Good Leaver Policy will apply
and, if the requirements are met, unvested performance rights may vest on a pro rata basis in
relation to the service completed, subject to the discretion of the Board.
LTIP performance condition
The LTIP Performance Condition is the Company’s TSR as measured against a comparator group.
The Board considers that TSR is an appropriate performance hurdle because it ensures that a
proportion of each participant’s remuneration is linked to shareholder value and ensures that
participants only receive a benefit where there is a corresponding direct benefit to shareholders.
TSR reflects benefits received by shareholders through share price growth and dividend yield and is
the most widely used long term incentive hurdle in Australia.
To ensure an objective assessment of the relative TSR comparison the Company employs an
independent organisation to calculate the TSR ranking.
The performance rights will only vest where the TSR performance of the Company relative to the
selected Comparator Group measured over the Performance Period is at the 50th percentile or
above.

31
REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
Why were the
performance conditions
chosen?
The approach to linking individual executive performance (including mandatory service periods)
and Company performance to the vesting of equity rights is standard market practice.
The conditions are aimed at linking the retention and performance of the executives directly to
rewards, but only where shareholder returns are realised. The focus on employee-held equity is
also part of a deliberate policy to strengthen engagement and direct personal interest to the
achievement of returns for shareholders.
What is the comparator
group?
The comparator companies selected are considered to be alternative investment vehicles for local
and global investors and are impacted by commodity prices and cyclical factors, in a similar way to
OZ Minerals. The list of comparator group companies appears in the following table.

REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
What happens to equity
rights granted under the
LTI program when an
executive ceases
employment?
If an executive ceases employment with OZ Minerals before the performance condition is tested,
then his or her unvested equity rights will generally lapse unless the Good Leaver Policy applies.
Under the terms of the Good Leaver Policy, at the time of termination (unless by reason of death or
disability) a pro rata number of performance rights, calculated in accordance with the proportion of
the performance period worked, may continue to be subject to performance conditions as set by
the Board.
If, and when these rights vest, they will be exercisable up until their original expiry date. If
cessation is due to death or disability, all unvested performance rights will vest at that time.
What happens in the
event of a change of
control?
In the event of a takeover or change of control of OZ Minerals, any unvested equity rights may vest
at the Board’s discretion. Factors that the Board may consider when exercising its discretion to vest
any outstanding performance rights include pro-rata awards for the period from the date of grant
until the date change of control occurs.
Do shares granted upon
vesting of equity rights
granted under the LTIP
dilute existing
shareholders’ equity?
Generally, there is no dilution of shareholders’ pre-existing equity as shares allocated to the
participants in the LTIP upon vesting of equity rights are usually satisfied by purchases by the plan
trustee on market.
Does the Company have
a policy in relation to
margin loans and
hedging at risk
remuneration?
Under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, all executives, directors and officers are prohibited
from entering to financing arrangements where the monies owed to the lender are secured against
a mortgage over OZ Minerals’ shares. Transactions entered into prior to 19 November 2009, when
the prohibition was introduced, are exempted from the policy. The Company’s Securities Trading
Policy also prohibits executives and employees from entering into any hedging arrangement over
unvested securities issued pursuant to any share scheme, performance rights plan or option plan.

Not applicable – provided at no cost
(a) Performance rights granted under the OZ Minerals LTIP (last grant made in December 2012) are granted for no consideration. The performance
measurement period is three years. Performance rights granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights. The shares when issued on vesting of
a performance right rank equally in all respects with previously issued fully paid ordinary shares.
(b) For performance rights granted prior to 2011, the number of shares underlying each performance right granted to all participants under the OZ Minerals
LTIPs were amended to incorporate an adjustment formula, as set out in Resolution 6 of the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 7 April 2011, to
adjust the number of shares underlying each performance right in the event of a return of capital and to give effect to the intent contemplated by the
rules. This amendment was effective at the date the resolution was passed at the 2011 AGM on 18 May 2011 and applies to all historical grants that have
been made under the Company’s LTIP and to any new grants made under the LTIP. In particular, as previously disclosed in the 2011 Notice of Annual
General Meeting, the adjustment formula has been applied to those performance rights that were on issue at the time of the capital return made to
shareholders in June 2011 in order to adjust the number of shares underlying those performance rights so that holders receive an additional number of
shares if and when their performance rights vest. Consistent with ASX Listing Rule 7.22.3, the additional number of shares reflects the value of the cash
amount per share returned to shareholders in the capital return. This ensures that performance rights holders are not disadvantaged relative to ordinary
shareholders and that the value of their performance rights is not eroded by the capital return. Importantly, no shares will be received in respect of, and
no additional shares will be received as a result of an adjustment to, any performance rights that do not vest (for instance because performance and/or
service conditions are not met).

5. Determining STI Outcomes and STI Payments to Executive KMPs in 2012
At the end of 2012, a review of the performance of each Executive KMP was undertaken against each of their 2012 performance
measures having regard to the performance of the Company as described above, and individual performance. The amount of STI
awarded to each Executive KMP was determined in accordance with the process described in Box 2.1.
MD&CEO’s STI
In accordance with the procedure set out in Section 2, the Chairman and the Board, with the assistance of the Remuneration
Committee, undertook a review of the MD&CEO’s performance against each of his 2012 KPIs. Outlined in Table 4A below are the
ratings awarded against each of the KPI targets using the OZ Minerals Rating Scale, descriptions of how the STI vesting
percentages were assessed against the MD&CEO’s KPIs and against the overriding EBIT KPI target.

FY 2012 assessment against 2012 KPIs (highlights only)
Good progress at Carrapateena with milestones met and initiatives
introduced with the aim of accelerating the timeline for development
of the resource.
Resource drilling program at Carrapateena produced some
outstanding results with mineralisation extending well beyond the
2011 Resource at depth.
Good progress on Malu decline with conceptual plans developed for
exploration and subsequent development of potential ore body.
Quality growth opportunities presented to the Board in line with
Company’s growth strategy while maintaining disciplined and
focused approach, with post audit review of rejected acquisitions
supporting the process.
Production of copper and gold from the open pit met production
guidance for the year but waste mining budget was not achieved.
Underground mining project was brought in within the timetable
and costs despite some early challenges.
Overall costs were higher than budget leading to revised guidance
being given in August 2012.
Improved safety performance in 2012 and the culture change efforts
since 2010 are having a positive impact with a marked improvement
in safety performance.
Diversity initiatives for female advancement introduced and
percentage of female employees maintained despite recruitment of a
relatively large number of underground personnel.

(a) The grants made to Executive KMPs constituted 100 percent of the grants available for each year and were made on the terms summarised in Boxes 2.1
and 2.2. The expiry date for performance rights granted on 21 December 2012 is 28 February 2016. Refer to Box 2.2 for the expiry date of all other equity
rights described above. In accordance with the plan rules, following the 1:10 consolidation of shares that occurred in June 2011, the number of
performance rights issued prior to 2011 were consolidated in the same 1:10 ratio as the ordinary capital.
(b) This represents the number of shares underlying any vested performance rights calculated by applying the conversion factor of 1.0904 as calculated in
accordance with the adjustment formula. As discussed above, the number of shares underlying rights granted to all participants under the OZ Minerals
LTI Plans prior to 2011 were amended to incorporate the adjustment formula, as set out in Resolution 6 of the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated
7 April 2011. In accordance with the adjustment formula, the performance rights were adjusted following the capital return approved by shareholders at
the 2011 AGM and paid in June 2011 so that holders of performance rights were not disadvantaged relative to ordinary shareholders. There was no
change to the accounting value of the performance rights as a result of the changes which occurred in 2011.
(c) The maximum value of the grants has been estimated based on a 52 week high in the calendar year 2012, of $11.50 per instrument. The minimum total
value of each grant, if the applicable performance conditions are not met, is nil.
(d) The vesting date for each of the 2012, 2011 and 2010 grants is the date that OZ Minerals notifies the participants that the vesting conditions have been
satisfied which will occur no later than 28 February 2016 for the 2012 grant, 28 February 2015 for the 2011 grant, and 28 February 2014 for the 2010
grant. Refer Box 2.2.
(e) The fair values were calculated as at the grant dates. In accordance with the requirements of applicable Accounting Standards, remuneration includes a
proportion of the notional value of equity rights compensation granted or outstanding during the year. The notional value of equity rights instruments
granted as compensation is determined as at the grant date and progressively allocated over the vesting period. The amount included as remuneration
is not related to or indicative of the benefit (if any) that individual executives may in fact receive. The values were calculated by an external third party
based on the Black-Scholes pricing assumptions to produce a Monte Carlo simulation model.

(b) Other benefits include the value (where applicable) of benefits such as compulsory annual health checks, car parking or other benefits that are available
to all employees of OZ Minerals, and are inclusive of fringe benefits tax where applicable.
(c) The fair values were calculated as at the grant dates. In accordance with the requirements of applicable Accounting Standards, remuneration includes a
proportion of the notional value of equity rights compensation granted or outstanding during the year. The notional value of equity rights granted as
compensation which do not vest during the reporting period is determined as at the grant date and progressively allocated over the vesting period. The
amount included as remuneration is not related to or indicative of the benefit (if any) that individual executives may in fact receive. The values were
calculated by an external third party based on the Black-Scholes pricing assumptions to produce a Monte Carlo simulation model. The percentage of
each Excutive KMP’s remuneration for year ended 31 December 2012 that consisted of Performance Rights was as follows: Terry Burgess 22.3 percent,
Andrew Coles 24.4 percent, Francesca Lee 24.1 percent.
(d) Annual leave has been separately categorised and is measured on an accrual basis and reflects the movement in the accrual over the 12 month period.
Any reduction in the annual leave benefits reflects more leave taken/cashed out than that which accrued in the period.
(e) Represents the net accrual movement for Long Service Leave (LSL) over the 12 month period which will only be paid if Executive KMPs meet the required
service conditions.
(f) Represents direct contributions to superannuation funds. Amounts greater than the maximum superannuation level have been paid and included in cash
salary.

REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
8. Non-Executive Director remuneration
8.1 Non-Executive Director remuneration policy
Non-Executive Director (‘NED’) remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board. NEDs receive a fixed fee remuneration
consisting of a base fee rate and additional fees for committee roles.
Consistent with best practice, NEDs do not receive any form of equity incentive entitlement, bonuses, options, other incentive
payments or retirement benefits. In the past the Company paid retirement benefits to NEDs. These benefits were frozen at
31 December 2005 and the value at that date is adjusted each year at a bank interest rate. Details are set out in Table 10.
NEDs are encouraged to hold a minimum shareholding of at least the equivalent of one years’ annual fees in the form of shares
and, if necessary, that this holding be built up over a five year period.
As approved at the OZ Minerals General Meeting on 18 July 2008, the maximum fees payable per annum is $2,700,000 in total.
Total fees received by NEDs in 2012 was $1,535,075, which was below the maximum approved amount. The fees that applied for
2012 are outlined below. The Chairman was paid a flat fee, with no additional fees for service on Committees.
As foreshadowed in the 2011 Remuneration Report, following a review undertaken by the Board of the Board and Committee
fees, the Board determined to increase the Board and Committee fees by 3.5 percent for 2012, in line with the broader inflation
rate as measured by the CPI which rose by 3.5 percent in the twelve months to September 2011. The Board determined not to
increase the fees for 2013.

In addition to the fees specified above, all directors (including the Chairman) are entitled to superannuation contributions equal
to nine percent calculated on base Board and Committee fees, and are entitled to be reimbursed for travelling and other
expenses properly incurred by them in attending any meeting or otherwise in connection with the business or affairs of the
Company, in accordance with the Company’s constitution.

(a) In the past OZ Minerals paid retirement benefits to NEDs, however, these benefits were frozen at 31 December 2005. As advised in previous years, the
value at that date is adjusted each year at a bank interest rate and the increase in value from the previous year is accrued in the retirement benefit
adjustment. Retirement benefits were adjusted for 2012 at an average bank interest rate of 3.67 percent per annum (3.88 percent in 2011). A retirement
benefit, including the retirement benefit adjustment for 2012 has been accrued for Brian Jamieson of $28,717.
(b) Represents direct contributions to superannuation funds. Amounts greater than the maximum superannuation contribution level have been paid and
included in board fees and cash benefits.

REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
9. Engagement of Remuneration Consultants
The Board and Remuneration Committee seek and consider advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure that it
has at its disposal information relevant to the determination of all aspects of remuneration relating to the KMPs. The Board, with
the assistance of the Remuneration Committee, has protocols to formalise the arrangements for the engagement of
remuneration consultants and the parameters around the interaction between management and the consultants (‘Protocols’)
with a view to minimising the risk of any undue influence occurring and ensuring compliance with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001.
Under the Protocols adopted by the Board and Remuneration Committee:
•
•
•
remuneration consultants are engaged by and report directly to the Board or the Remuneration Committee;
the Committee must in deciding whether to approve the engagement have regard to any potential conflicts of interest
including factors that may influence independence such as previous and future work performed by the Committee, any
relationships that exist between any KMP and the consultant;
communication between the remuneration consultants and KMPs is restricted to minimise the risk of undue influence
on the remuneration consultant; and
• where the consultant is also engaged to perform work that does not involve the provision of a remuneration
recommendation, prior approval of the Board or Remuneration Committee must be obtained in certain circumstances
where than consultant continues to be engaged to provide remuneration recommendations.
Having regard to the protocols and the fact that each of the consultants is required to confirm that their recommendations were
provided free from any undue influence, the Board is satisfied that the remuneration recommendations of each of the
consultants listed in the table below were made free from undue influence by the KPMs to whom the recommendations relate.
The advice and recommendations of remuneration consultants are used as a guide by the Board and the Remuneration
Committee. Decisions are made by the Board after its own consideration of the issues but having regard to the advice of the
Remuneration Committee and the consultants. Details of the remuneration consultants used in 2012 are set out in the table
below.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Reporting entity
OZ Minerals Limited is a company domiciled in Australia. The registered office of the Company is at Level 10, 31 Queen Street,
Melbourne, 3000, Victoria, Australia. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as at and for the year ended
31 December 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and the Consolidated Entity’s interest in associates and jointly
controlled entities (together referred to as the ‘Consolidated Entity’). The Consolidated Entity is primarily involved in the mining
of copper, gold and silver and the conduct of exploration and development projects.
(b) Statement of compliance
This Financial Report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards (‘AASBs’) including Australian interpretations adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the
Corporations Act 2001. The Consolidated Financial Report of the Consolidated Entity complies with International Financial
Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
This Financial Report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 13 February 2013.
(c) Basis of preparation of financial information
(i) Historical costs
These Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for
the following items which are measured at fair value:
•
•
•
Financial instruments, including trade receivables, at fair value through profit and loss;
Investments in equity securities; and
Derivative financial instruments.
(ii) Mandatory standards adopted during the year
There were no mandatory accounting standards that were required to be adopted by the Consolidated Entity during the current
year.
(iii) Early adoption of standards
The Consolidated Entity did not early adopt any accounting standards during the year.
(iv) Issued standards and pronouncements not early adopted
The following standards and amendments were available for early adoption but have not been adopted by the Consolidated
Entity in these Financial Statements:
•
•
•
IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine has been issued which is effective for accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. IFRIC 20 clarifies the accounting for production stripping costs in a
surface mine and clarifies certain criteria that need to be met to enable capitalisation of stripping costs.
AASB 2011-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - arising from IFRIC 20. The standard is applicable for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
AASB 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements which has been issued and is effective for accounting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2013. AASB 10 provides a revised approach to determine which investees should be consolidated.
The initial application of IFRIC 20 will result in reclassification of amounts recognised in the Financial Report and is not likely to
have a significant impact on the net results of the Consolidated Entity.
The Consolidated Entity is currently determining the impact of the initial application of AASB 10 which may lead to a change in
the accounting for certain investments.
Other standards issued and available for early adoption but not applied by the Consolidated Entity have not been included
above as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Financial Report of the Consolidated Entity.
(v) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with AASBs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. The
estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Refer Note 2 to
the Financial Statements for more detail on critical accounting estimates and judgements.
52
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(d) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Consolidated Entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies,
generally accompanying a shareholding of more than fifty percent of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Consolidated Entity
controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity until the date that control
ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Consolidated Entity.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between companies controlled by the Consolidated
Entity are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated on consolidation unless the transaction provides
evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.
While the intercompany balances are eliminated on consolidation, any related foreign exchange gains or losses arising between
entities that do not have the same functional currency, will not be eliminated. This is because the Consolidated Entity has a real
exposure to a foreign currency since one of the entities will need to obtain or sell foreign currency in order to settle the
obligation or realise the proceeds received.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies of the
Consolidated Entity.
(ii) Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Consolidated Entity has significant influence, but not control, of the financial and
operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Consolidated Entity holds between twenty and fifty
percent of the voting power of another entity.
Associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. The Consolidated Entity’s investment
includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Consolidated Financial Statements
include the Consolidated Entity’s share of the income and expenses and equity movements of the equity accounted investees,
after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Consolidated Entity, from the date that significant influence
commences until the date that significant influence ceases. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of
the investment.
When the Consolidated Entity’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that
interest is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Consolidated Entity
has a legal or constructive obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
(iii) Joint ventures
Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Consolidated Entity has joint control, established by contractual
arrangement.
Jointly controlled assets
Where material, the proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a joint venture operation have been
incorporated in the Financial Statements under the appropriate headings.
Joint venture entities
Where material, the interest in a joint venture entity is accounted for in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity
method and is carried at cost in the Consolidated Entity’s Financial Statements. Under the equity method, the share of the profits
or losses of the joint venture entities are recognised in the Income Statement, and the share of movements in reserves is
recognised in reserves in the Balance Sheet.
Profits or losses on transactions establishing the joint venture and transactions with the joint venture are eliminated to the extent
of the Consolidated Entity’s ownership interest until such time as they are realised by the joint venture on consumption or sale,
unless they relate to an unrealised loss that provides evidence of the impairment of an asset transferred.
(e) Non-derivative financial instruments
The Consolidated Entity classifies its financial assets into the following categories:
•
•
Financial assets at amortised cost; and
Financial assets at fair value.
A financial asset is classified at amortised cost if it is held within a business model in which the objective is to hold assets in order
to collect contractual cash flows, and the asset’s contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets are measured at fair value.
The Consolidated Entity’s trade receivables are recorded at fair value in accordance with the policy set out in Note 1(q) and 1(u).
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying value of amortised cost instruments is determined using the effective interest rate
method.
53
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
Financial assets measured at fair value include investments in equity instruments which are not held for trading. The
Consolidated Entity recognises the fair value changes in the Income Statement, unless it irrevocably elects at initial recognition to
present the changes in Other Comprehensive Income. Amounts classified in Other Comprehensive Income are never reclassified
to profit and loss at a later date. Dividends from investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit and loss as part of
finance income, rather than Other Comprehensive Income, unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the
investment.
(f) Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured
to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative
is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Consolidated Entity designates certain
derivatives as either:
•
•
hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or
hedges of the cash flows on recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow
hedges).
The Consolidated Entity documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and
hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The
Consolidated Entity also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives
that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or
cash flows of hedged items.
Movements in the hedging reserve in equity are shown in Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. The full fair value of a
hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining term to maturity of the instrument is more
than twelve months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining term to maturity of the instrument is less
than twelve months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability.
(i) Fair values hedges
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the Income
Statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the Income Statement within other income or other expenses.
The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging fixed rate borrowings is recognised in the Income
Statement within other income or other expenses together with the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion and changes in
the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings attributable to the interest rate risk.
If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for
which the effective interest method is used is amortised to profit or loss over the period to maturity.
(ii) Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised
in equity in the hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Income
Statement.
Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the Income Statement in the periods when the hedged item will affect profit or
loss (for instance when the forecast interest payment that is hedged impacts profit or loss). The gain or loss relating to the
effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in the Income Statement within ‘financing
expenses’.
For option contracts, the fair value is apportioned between the intrinsic value and time value. The gain or loss arising from the
change in intrinsic value is recognised in equity in the hedging reserve. Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the
Income Statement in the periods in which the hedged item will affect profit or loss (e.g. when the forecast sale that is hedged will
take place). Any gain or loss arising from the change in time value of option contracts is recognised immediately in the Income
Statement.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting,
any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is
ultimately recognised in the Income Statement.
When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is
immediately transferred to the Income Statement.
(iii) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instrument that
does not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the Income Statement and are included in other income or
expenses.
Where an embedded derivative is identified and the derivative’s risks and characteristics are not considered to be closely related
to the underlying host contract, the fair value of the derivative is recognised on the Balance Sheet and changes in the fair value
of the embedded derivative are recognised in the Income Statement.
54
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(g) Foreign exchange
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars. Items included in the Financial Statements of each of
the Consolidated Entity’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity
operates, the ‘functional currency’.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income
Statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the
functional currency at the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined.
(iii) Companies of the Consolidated Entity
The results and financial position of all entities within the Consolidated Entity (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 Balance Sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Balance
Sheet;
income and expenses for each Income Statement 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);
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity in the foreign currency translation
reserve; and
on consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of
borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to equity. When a
foreign operation is sold a proportionate share of such exchange differences is recognised in the Income Statement as
part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
While intercompany balances are eliminated on consolidation, any related foreign exchange gains or losses arising between
entities that do not have the same functional currency, will not be eliminated. This is because the Consolidated Entity has a real
exposure to a foreign currency since one of the entities will need to obtain or sell foreign currency in order to settle the
obligation or realise the proceeds received. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are
treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
During the comparative year, a change in presentation was adopted to reclassify the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve
balance which related to certain operations that had changed their functional currency in 2009. Accordingly the FCTR balance
related to these operations was transferred from FCTR to retained earnings.
(h) Inventories
Stores and consumables, ore and concentrate are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on
the basis of normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realisable value assessment of ore and concentrates inventory considers the
expected future ore blend rates, ore grades and existing market pricing conditions.
Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Cost includes direct material,
overburden removal, mining, processing, labour, related transportation costs to the point of sale, mine rehabilitation costs
incurred in the extraction process and other fixed and variable costs directly related to mining activities.
Inventories expected to be processed or sold within twelve months after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets,
all other inventories are classified as non-current assets.
55
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(i)
Income tax
Income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable/recoverable on the current period’s taxable income based on the
national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Financial Statements, and to unused
tax losses. Current and deferred tax expense attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity is also recognised directly in
equity.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the deferred income tax is
not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that
at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the
related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. The
relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the
deferred tax asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of
investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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 when 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.
OZ Minerals Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities are part of a tax consolidated group. OZ Minerals
Limited is the head of the tax consolidated group. The tax contribution amounts paid, assumed, or receivable or payable under
the tax funding agreement are recognised as a loans payable or receivable by the wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.
(j) Leases
At inception of an arrangement which requires the use of a specific asset and contains a right to use the asset, the Consolidated
Entity determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. The payments and other considerations required by such
an arrangement relating to a lease and other elements is separated on the basis of relative fair values and recognised as a lease
asset or liability.
Lessee
Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Consolidated Entity has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership,
are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased
property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges,
are included as interest bearing liabilities. Each lease payment is allocated between a reduction in the liability and finance cost.
The finance cost is charged to the Income Statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest
on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
If the Consolidated Entity concludes for a finance lease that it is not possible to separate payments reliably, an asset and a
liability equal to the fair value of the underlying asset is recognised. Subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made
and an imputed finance charge on the liability is recognised using the Consolidated Entity's incremental borrowing rate. The
property, plant and equipment acquired under a finance lease is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the
lease term.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating
leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the Income
Statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Lessor
Leases in which the Consolidated Entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as
finance leases. Where a finance lease is provided, the item of equipment is derecognised and the present value of the minimum
lease payments receivable are recognised as a lease receivable. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in
which they are earned.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(k) Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses
recognised. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items and costs incurred in
bringing the asset into use. Income generated during the development or commissioning of an asset is recognised as a
reduction from the costs incurred. Cost also includes transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of
foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Mine property and development assets include costs transferred from exploration and evaluation assets once technical feasibility
and commercial viability of an area of interest are demonstrable, and also includes subsequent costs to develop the mine to the
production phase. Any ongoing costs associated with mining which are considered to benefit mining operations in future periods
are capitalised.
Land and buildings comprises freehold land and buildings and leasehold improvements including airstrips and earthworks.
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 Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged
to the Income Statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.
The depreciation methods adopted by the Consolidated Entity are shown in the table below:
Category
Depreciation method
Freehold land
Not depreciated
Buildings and other infrastructure
Straight line over life of mine
Short term plant and equipment
Straight line over life of asset
Processing plant
Units of ore milled over mine reserves
Mine property and development
Units of ore extracted over mine reserves
The depreciation of mine, property and development commences when the mine starts commercial production.
Any gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with asset carrying amounts and are recognised as
other income or other expense.
(i) Overburden and waste removal
Overburden and other waste removal costs (stripping costs) incurred in the development of a mine before production
commences are capitalised as part of the construction of the mine as mine property and development assets. These costs include
direct costs and an allocation of relevant overhead expenditure. These development stripping costs are subsequently amortised
over the mine reserves.
Costs incurred in the removal of waste once an operation commences production activity (production stripping costs) are
capitalised as mine property and development assets. A proportion of these deferred mine development costs, including both
development stripping costs and production stripping costs, is charged to the Income Statement as an operating cost on the
basis of the quantity of ore mined, or the quantity of the minerals contained in the ore, as a proportion of the operation’s total
quantity of ore estimated to be mined.
Changes in the technical and or other economic parameters that impact on reserves will also have an impact on the depreciation
of capitalised mine property and development assets. These changes are assessed annually and accounted for prospectively from
the date of change.
(ii) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is recognised in the Income Statement as incurred, unless the expenditure is expected to
be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale, in which case it
is recognised as an asset on an area of interest basis.
Exploration and evaluation assets are classified as tangible (as part of property, plant and equipment) or intangible according to
the nature of the assets. As the assets are not yet ready for use they are not depreciated. Exploration and evaluation assets are
assessed for impairment if:
•
•
sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; or
other facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
For the purposes of the impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the
exploration activity relates. The cash generating units are not larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral reserves 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 to mine property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(l)
Intangibles
(i) Acquired mineral rights
Acquired mineral rights comprise exploration and evaluation assets including ore reserves and mineral resources which are
acquired as part of:
•
•
business combinations recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition; and
asset acquisitions recognised at cost.
The acquired mineral rights are reclassified as mine property and development from commencement of development and
amortised when commercial production commences on a unit of production basis over the estimated economic reserve of the
mine, in accordance with Note 1(k).
(ii) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Consolidated Entity’s share of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for
impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at
cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill
relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.
(iii) Computer software
Costs incurred in developing information technology systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licences that will
contribute to future period financial benefits through cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems.
Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and services and direct payroll related costs of employees’ time spent
on the project. Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over the useful life, ranging from three to five years.
(m) Recoverable amount and fair value estimation
(i) Financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement, or for disclosure
purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as publicly traded derivatives, and investments in
equity securities, excluding investments in associates, is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted
market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price, the appropriate quoted market
price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is
determined using recognised valuation techniques. The Consolidated Entity uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions
that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Option contracts are fair valued using an option pricing
model and prevailing market quoted economic variables existing at the balance date. Interest rate swaps are fair valued by
determining the theoretical gain or loss had the swap contracts been terminated on market at the balance date. Other
techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair
value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current
market interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments.
The fair value of trade receivables is determined with reference to quoted market prices adjusted for specific settlement terms in
sales contracts and estimated credit adjustments.
(ii) Non financial assets and liabilities
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for
impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Assets that have a
finite life are reviewed 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.
The asset’s value in use is the net amount expected to be recovered through the cash flows arising from its continued use and
subsequent disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
The asset’s fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or cash-generating unit in an arm’s
length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the estimated costs of disposal.
58
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
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 have been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting
date.
Any impairment to the carrying amount of an asset is recognised as an expense in the Income Statement in the reporting period
in which the recoverable amount write down occurs. Where this assessment of impairment indicates a loss in value of the assets
of an operation, an appropriate write down is made. No assets are carried in excess of their recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount of the Consolidated Entity’s operations is subject to variation because of changes in global metal prices and exchange
rates.
(n) Employee benefits
(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within twelve months
of the reporting date are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting
date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid, inclusive of on costs, when the liabilities are settled. The expense for
non-accumulating sick leave is recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
(ii) Long-term employee benefits
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected
unit credit method. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and
periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government
notes with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(iii) Defined contribution plans
Contributions are made by the Consolidated Entity to individual defined contribution superannuation plans of each director and
employee and are charged as an expense in the Income Statement when incurred.
(iv) Employee bonuses
A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term bonus entitlements if the Consolidated Entity has
a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the director or employee and
the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(v) Share-based payment transactions
The fair values of share-based payment transactions are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding
increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the period during which the
employees become unconditionally entitled to the share-based payment transactions.
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account
the exercise price, the term of the share-based payment transactions, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and
expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the
share-based payment transactions.
The fair value of the share-based payment transactions granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the
impact of any service or non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting
conditions are included in assumptions about the number of share-based payment transactions that are expected to become
exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of share-based payment transactions that
are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent
estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Income Statement with a corresponding
adjustment to equity.
The fair value of the share-based payment transactions does not necessarily relate to the actual value that may be received in
future by the recipients. Information relating to these schemes is set out in Note 32 to the Financial Statements.
59
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(o) Mine rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling obligations
Provisions are made for the estimated cost of rehabilitation, decommissioning and restoration relating to areas disturbed during
mining and exploration operations up to the reporting date but not yet rehabilitated. Provision has been made in full for all the
disturbed areas at the reporting date based on current estimates of costs to rehabilitate such areas, discounted to their present
value based on expected future cash flows. The estimated costs include the current cost of rehabilitation necessary to meet
legislative requirements. Changes in estimates are dealt with on a prospective basis as they arise.
Uncertainty exists as to the amount of rehabilitation obligations which will be incurred due to the impact of changes in
environmental legislation, and many other factors, including future developments, changes in technology, price increases and
changes in interest rates. The amount of the provision relating to mine rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling obligations is
recognised at the commencement of the mining project and/or construction of the assets where a legal or constructive
obligation exists at that time.
The provision is recognised as a liability, separated into current (estimated costs arising within twelve months) and non-current
components based on the expected timing of these cash flows. A corresponding asset is included in mine property and
development assets, only to the extent that it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the restoration
expenditure will flow to the entity. The capitalised cost of this asset is recognised in property, plant and equipment and is
amortised over the life of the mine.
At each reporting date the rehabilitation liability is remeasured in line with changes in discount rates, and timing or amounts of
the costs to be incurred. Rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling provisions are adjusted for changes in estimates.
Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future rehabilitation and restoration cash flows are a normal occurrence in
light of the significant judgements and estimates involved. Changes in the liability relating to mine rehabilitation, restoration and
dismantling obligations are added to or deducted from the related asset (where it is probable that future economic benefits will
flow to the entity), other than the unwinding of the discount which is recognised as financing expenses in the Income Statement.
Changes to capitalised cost result in an adjustment to future depreciation charges.
The provisions referred to above do not include any amounts related to remediation costs associated with unforeseen
circumstances.
(p) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and other liabilities are recognised when:
•
•
•
The Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;
It is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and
The amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an
outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised
even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at
balance sheet date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised in the
Income Statement as financing expenses.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Consolidated Entity from a
contract is lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the
present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the
contract.
(q) Sales revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, indicating there has been a transfer of risks and rewards to the customer, no
further processing is required by the Consolidated Entity, the quantity and quality of the goods has been determined with
reasonable accuracy, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. This is generally when title passes, which for
the majority of concentrate sales, represents the bill of lading date when the concentrate is delivered for shipment.
Revenue on provisionally priced sales is recognised at the estimated fair value of the total consideration received or receivable.
Revenue is reported net of discounts and pricing adjustments. Royalties paid and payable are separately reported as expenses.
60
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
Contract terms for many of the Consolidated Entity’s sales allow for a price adjustment based on a final assay of the concentrates
by the customer to determine the metal content. Recognition of the sales revenue for these commodities is based on the most
recently determined estimate of product specifications with a subsequent adjustment made to revenue upon final determination.
The terms of concentrate sales contracts with third parties contain provisional pricing arrangements. The selling price for metal in
concentrate is based on prevailing spot prices at the time of shipment to the customer and adjustments to the sales price occur
based on movements in quoted market prices up to the date of final settlement.
These provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host
contract for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is
recognised at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognised in the Income Statement in each period until final
settlement, as an adjustment to revenue. Changes in fair value over the quotational period and up until final settlement are
estimated by reference to forward market prices.
(r) Financing income and expenses
Financing income includes:
•
•
interest income on cash and cash equivalents; and
dividend income from investments in equity securities.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised when the
right to receive payment is established.
Financing expenses include:
•
•
•
•
•
interest on short-term and long-term borrowings;
amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings;
amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings;
finance lease charges; and
the impact of the unwind of discount on long-term provisions for mine rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling.
Financing expenses are calculated using the effective interest rate method. Finance expenses incurred for the construction of any
qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use
or sale. Other financing expenses are expensed as incurred.
The capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of financing expenses to be capitalised is the weighted average interest
rate applicable to the Consolidated Entity’s outstanding borrowings.
(s) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents comprise short-term and highly liquid cash deposits that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank
overdrafts are repayable on demand and are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the Balance Sheet. For the
purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand, demand deposits, cash equivalents, net of any outstanding
bank overdrafts which are recognised at their principal amounts.
(t) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of the financial
year which are unpaid. The amounts are non-interest-bearing, unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(u) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less impairment. Provisional payments in relation to trade receivables are due for settlement within 30 days from the
date of recognition, with any mark to market adjustment due for settlement usually within 60 days. Concentrate sales receivables
are recognised in accordance with Note 1(q).
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are impaired. An
impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to collect all amounts
due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor
will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are
considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The
amount of the impairment is recognised in the Income Statement.
61
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(v)
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the
Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are removed from the Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished and the consideration
paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Consolidated Entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
(w) Financial guarantee contracts
Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially
measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher amount determined in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate.
The fair value of financial guarantees is determined as the present value of the theoretical cash flows arising if each subsidiary
were to source each guarantee on market as an arm’s length transaction.
Where guarantees in relation to loans of subsidiaries or associates are provided for no consideration, the fair values are
accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.
(x)
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options,
for the acquisition of a business are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly
attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Repurchased shares bought as part of a share
buyback plan are cancelled. Repurchased shares bought and held by Employee Share Plan Trust to meet the Consolidated
Entity’s obligation to provide shares to employees in accordance with the terms of their employment contracts and employee
share plans as and when they may vest, are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity.
When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the
resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to or from retained earnings.
When capital is returned by the Consolidated Entity to the shareholders, the amount of the capital returned is recognised as a
deduction from equity.
When share capital is reduced, it is recognised as a deduction to issued capital against accumulated losses.
(y) Dividends payable
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the
entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.
(z) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (‘GST’), unless the GST incurred is not
recoverable from taxation authorities. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an
item 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, taxation authorities is included with other receivables or payables in the Balance Sheet.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows inclusive of GST. The GST components of cash flows arising from
investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, taxation authorities are classified as operating cash
flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to taxation
authorities. The net of GST payable and receivable is remitted to the appropriate tax body in accordance with legislative
requirements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(aa) Operating segments
Operating segments are components of the Consolidated Entity about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the Consolidated Entity’s key management personnel in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance.
Segment information that is evaluated by key management is prepared in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for
preparing the Financial Statements of the Consolidated Entity.
The division of the Consolidated Entity’s results into segments has been ascertained by reference to direct identification of
revenue/cost centres and where interrelated segment costs exist, an allocation has been calculated on a pro rata basis of the
identifiable costs.
(ab) Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs
to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in
excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised offset by any notional depreciation for the intervening period. A
gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the
date of derecognition.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses
attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets
classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other assets
in the Balance Sheet.
The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the Balance Sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a
separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line
of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued
operations are presented separately on the face of the Income Statement.
(ac) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination
is measured at fair value, and is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer,
the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the
acquiree is measured at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition related costs
are expensed as incurred.
When the Consolidated Entity acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate
classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Consolidated Entity’s operation
or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded
derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest is
remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit and loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be
recognised in profit or loss or as a change to Other Comprehensive Income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity,
it is not remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Consolidated Entity’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill.

(ad) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the parent, 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.
(ii) 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 shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(ae) Rounding of amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998, issued by the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the Financial Report. Amounts in the Financial Report have
been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order in millions of dollars to one decimal place except where rounding to the
nearest dollar is required.
(af) Comparatives
When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements used in developing and applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies are continually
evaluated and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial
impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Consolidated Entity makes estimates
and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates may differ from the actual results. The critical
estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Recoverability of assets
The recoverable amount of each ‘cash-generating unit’ or ‘investment in associate’, is determined as the higher of the asset’s fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 1(m). These value in use calculations
require the use of estimates and assumptions including discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital
requirements and future operating performance. Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value which is
calculated in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 1(h). The computation of net realisable value involves significant
judgements in relation to future ore blend rates, processing costs, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, timing of sale and
other assumptions.
Mine rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling obligations
Provision is made for the anticipated costs of future restoration and rehabilitation of mining areas from which natural resources
have been extracted in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 1(o). These provisions include future cost estimates
associated with reclamation, plant closures, waste site closures, monitoring, demolition, decontamination, water purification and
permanent storage of historical residues. These future cost estimates are discounted to their present value. The calculation of
these provision estimates requires assumptions such as application of environmental legislation, plant closure dates, available
technologies, engineering cost estimates and discount rates. A change in any of the assumptions used may have a material
impact on the carrying value of mine rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling provisions.
Ore reserves and resources estimates
The estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves and resources are based upon interpretations of geological and
geophysical models and require assumptions to be made regarding factors such as estimates of short and long-term exchange
rates, estimates of short and long-term commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance.
Changes in reported reserves and resources estimates can impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment including
deferred mining expenditure, intangible assets, provisions for mine rehabilitation, restoration and dismantling obligations, the
recognition of deferred tax assets, as well as the amount of depreciation and amortisation charged to the Income Statement.
The Consolidated Entity defers stripping (waste removal) costs incurred during the production phase of its operations. This
calculation requires the use of judgements and estimates relating to the expected tonnes of waste to be removed over the life of
the mining area and the expected economically recoverable reserves to be extracted as a result. This information is used to
calculate the average life of mine strip ratio (expected waste to expected mineral reserves ratio). Changes in reported reserves
and resources estimates which impact a mine’s life and design will usually result in changes to the average life of mine strip ratio.
These changes are accounted for prospectively.

Income tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities
The Consolidated Entity is subject to income taxes of Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations. Significant
judgement is required in determining the group provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations
undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain for which provisions are
based on estimated amounts. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provision in the period in which the determination is made.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future
taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses, and the tax losses continue to be available
having regard to the nature and timing of their origination and compliance with the relevant tax legislation associated with their
recoupment.
Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
The Consolidated Entity exercised significant judgement in application of AASB 117 Leases and IFRIC
Interpretation 4 Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease in assessing the accounting for the arrangement entered
into with Thiess Pty Ltd as described in Note 15 to the Financial Report.
Discontinued operations
The calculation of the profit/loss on sale of operations included estimates in the following key areas: determining the proceeds
expected to be received to the extent that they were subject to working capital adjustments, the net assets including the net
deferred tax balances of operations sold, and the translation of foreign currency denominated balances. Exchange rate
differences which have previously been recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve have been reversed through the
Income Statement as part of the profit/loss on sale.
Functional currency
An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates in accordance
with accounting policy 1(g). Determination of an entity’s functional currency requires management’s judgement when
considering a number of factors including the currency that mainly influences sales prices, costs of production, and competitive
forces and regulations which impact sales prices. In addition, consideration must be given to the currency in which financing and
operating activities are undertaken.
Contingencies
By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur.
Determination of the Consolidated Entity’s contingent assets and liabilities disclosed in the Financial Report requires the exercise
of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
3 Operating segments
Segments
The Consolidated Entity operates the Prominent Hill Mine, a copper-gold mine located in the Gawler Craton of South Australia,
approximately 650 kilometres north-west of Adelaide and 130 kilometres south-east of Coober Pedy. The principal activities of
the Consolidated Entity are mining of copper, gold and silver, carrying out exploration activities and development of mining
projects. The exploration and development activities are mainly in South Australia and include the Carrapateena project.
The Prominent Hill Mine generates revenue from the sale of concentrate products containing copper, gold and silver to
customers in Asia and Europe.
Other operations include the Consolidated Entity’s Group Office (which includes all corporate expenses that cannot be directly
attributed to the operation of the Consolidated Entity’s operating segment), investment in Toro (refer Note 12 to the Financial
Statements), other investments in equity securities and exploration projects including Carrapateena.

Segment results
Segment information that is evaluated by key management is prepared in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for
preparing the Financial Statements of the Consolidated Entity which are reported under International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS'), and includes Underlying EBITDA, Underlying EBIT, Underlying EBT and Underlying NPAT which are used to
measure segment performance. These measures are used internally by management to assess performance of the business,
make decisions on allocating resources and assess operational management.
Presentation of the segment result for the current year has changed from the previous year and now discloses underlying results,
before the impact of non-trading items such as litigation settlement expense and impairment of assets (incurred in the
comparative year). The change in presentation reflects the internal reporting used by management to measure segment
performance, and comparatives have been adjusted accordingly.

The Consolidated Entity recognises deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only when it is
probable that taxable amounts will be available in the near future to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The
Consolidated Entity has assessed that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise the recognised deferred
tax assets.
Recognised tax losses referred to as ‘restricted’ were transferred into the OZ Minerals Australian tax group on consolidation of
the acquired Zinifex group in July 2008 and are subject to a restricted available fraction of current year taxable income which
restricts the amount of these losses that can be utilised each year. Under the current tax legislation these restricted tax losses do
not have an expiry date.
Restricted fractional tax losses of $191.4 million tax effected (2011: $191.4 million tax effected) continue to be unrecognised in
the Balance Sheet at 31 December 2012.
Additionally gross capital losses on disposal of assets during 2009 of $1,935 million (2011: $1,956 million) continue to be
unrecognised in the Balance Sheet at 31 December 2012.
8 Sale of assets in Cambodia
On 10 May 2012, OZ Minerals sold its assets in Cambodia through the sale of shares in OZ Minerals (Cambodia) Limited to
Renaissance Minerals Limited ('Renaissance'), an Australian company listed on the ASX, and recognised a net gain of
$18.8 million.
The financial impact of the sale transaction as at the date of disposal is summarised below:
Cash consideration received
Deferred cash consideration
Non cash consideration 26.4 million Renaissance shares
Non cash consideration 3.0 million Renaissance options

Subsequent to the sale, OZ Minerals participated in the Renaissance share issue in November 2012 under which OZ Minerals
received Renaissance shares to the value of $1.5 million. This amount was deducted from the $5.0 million deferred cash
consideration in the table above which was receivable 12 months after completion of sale under the Sale and Purchase
Agreement. The remaining $3.5 million cash consideration was received in January 2013.
69
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
In addition to the fair value of the consideration recognised of $19.6 million, the Sale and Purchase Agreement with Renaissance
provides for two further contingent receipts. The first receipt of $10.0 million is contingent on a 1.25 million ounce gold resource
being defined in relation to the assets sold or a decision to mine whichever is earlier. The second receipt of $12.5 million is
contingent on the first gold pour and is payable six months after the first gold pour.
The two possible receipts amounting to $22.5 million are contingent on uncertain future events and in accordance with the
Accounting Standards are not able to be recognised in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

cost during the financial year. In the comparative year, inventory costs of $3.2 million ($2.2 million after tax) were written off after
concentrate was spilled in a train derailment. During the current year an insurance claim of $5.4 million was received for the value
of concentrate lost and related costs. This amount was recognised in other income as outlined in Note 4 to the Financial
Statements.
Non-current inventories represent those ore stockpiles expected to be milled in the period greater than twelve months from 31

The Consolidated Entity accounts for its investment in Toro using the equity method. Toro is a uranium exploration company
listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Consolidated Entity holds 410,259,378 shares in Toro, which equates to an
interest of 39.4 percent at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2011: 42.1 percent). The share price of Toro as at 31 December 2012
was 11 cents per share (31 December 2011: 9 cents per share).
The share of losses after income tax of $2.1 million (2011: $1.2 million) recognised during the year represents the Consolidated
Entity’s share of the net loss after tax of Toro after adjustments for impairment losses of capitalised exploration expenditure
recognised by Toro. The Consolidated Entity performs a separate impairment assessment of its investment in Toro and
accordingly does not equity account any impairment losses of capitalised expenditure recognised by Toro.
70
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
During the comparative year, an impairment loss of $15.2 million was recognised in relation to the Consolidated Entity’s
investment in Toro at 30 June 2011 following an impairment assessment. The impairment assessment was performed based on
an internal valuation using a discount rate of ten percent (real after-tax) on a value in use basis. In assessing the impairment, the
Consolidated Entity considered information available from industry analysts, commentators, announcements released by Toro,
and the share price of Toro. The Consolidated Entity makes a number of important assumptions, including short and long term
commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, reserves and resources, exploration potential, future operating performance and
discount rates, in assessing the recoverable amount of the investment in Toro. These assumptions can change significantly over
short periods of time which can have a significant impact on the carrying amount of the investment.
Summarised financial information of Toro
At the date of this report, Toro has yet to complete its Interim Financial Statements as at 31 December 2012 and therefore
summarised financial information on Toro at 31 December 2012 is not included in these Financial Statements. The following

During the comparative year, OZ Minerals acquired the Carrapateena copper-gold project in South Australia for a consideration
of $253.1 million, made up of payments to vendors of $236.4 million (US$250.0 million) and stamp duty of $16.7 million. The
acquisition of exploration and evaluation assets was classified as acquired mineral rights in accordance with OZ Minerals’
accounting policy.
During the current year, OZ Minerals received refunds of stamp duty amounting to $0.9 million which reduced the carrying value
of the assets to $252.2 million at 31 December 2012.
The terms of the acquisition provide for two further payments to vendors upon commercial production being reached. The first
payment of US$50.0 million is payable on first commercial production of copper, uranium, gold or silver. The second payment of
US$25.0 million is payable on first commercial production of rare earths, iron or any other commodity. The further payments
amounting to US$75.0 million do not constitute a liability in accordance with the accounting standards and hence were not
required to be recognised in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

In February 2012 the contract with Thiess Pty Ltd for the provision of mining services to OZ Minerals’ Prominent Hill mining
operations was renewed for six years. Ancillary to this contract, OZ Minerals agreed to purchase certain mining equipment and
effectively lease this back to Thiess on an interest free basis to be used in the provision of the mining services. Upon termination
of the mining services contract, Thiess will re-purchase this equipment. This is expected to result in overall cost savings compared
to the provision of this equipment through the mining services contract.
The consideration paid to acquire the mining equipment will be recovered by OZ Minerals progressively over the mining services
contract through a reduced mining services charge by Thiess to OZ Minerals. Upon termination of the mining services contract,
any carrying value of lease receivable will be recovered by resale of the equipment to Thiess.
The finance lease receivable of $59.6 million as at 31 December 2012 comprises $60.0 million of mining equipment purchased
from Thiess and $3.7 million of stamp duty paid, less $4.1 million amortisation in the finance lease receivable during the year.

The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to
participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. On a show
of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each
holder is entitled to one vote per share.
Capital management strategy
The objective of the Consolidated Entity’s capital management strategy is to maintain healthy liquidity in order to support its
business and to achieve superior returns for its shareholders. The Consolidated Entity manages its capital structure and makes
adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Consolidated Entity may
adjust the dividend payment to shareholders and undertake other suitable capital management initiatives.
The Consolidated Entity’s policy is to maintain a gearing ratio of up to a maximum of 20 percent. The gearing ratio as at
31 December 2012 is nil (2011: nil).
As part of its capital management policy, OZ Minerals completed in June 2012 the on-market buyback program of $200.0 million
which had been commenced in 2011.

Share buyback
In June 2012, the Consolidated Entity completed a share buyback program for $200.0 million which commenced in August 2011.
The Consolidated Entity bought back and cancelled 10,901,828 shares amounting to $100.1 million during the year as part of the
share buyback program (2011: 9,505,664 shares amounting to $99.9 million).
Share consolidation
OZ Minerals Limited completed its one for ten share consolidation in June 2011 following approval by shareholders in May 2011.
The share consolidation involved the conversion of every ten fully paid ordinary shares on issue into one fully paid ordinary
share. Where the share consolidation resulted in a shareholder having a fractional entitlement to a share, the entitlement was
rounded up to the next whole number of shares. Upon the completion of the share consolidation in June 2011, the number of
OZ Minerals Limited shares on issue reduced from 3,238,546,504 shares to 323,877,514 shares as at that date.
Return of capital
The Consolidated Entity made a return of capital to its shareholders of $1.20 per share (post the one for ten share consolidation)
amounting to $388.6 million in June 2011, following approval by shareholders in May 2011. The ATO confirmed by a class ruling
in March 2011 that the return of capital did not constitute a dividend for Australian income tax purposes.
Capital reduction
In December 2011, OZ Minerals Limited reduced its share capital by $2,561.3 million against accumulated losses based on the
provisions contained in section 258F of the Corporations Act 2001.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of entities with a functional currency differing from the Consolidated Entity’s
presentation currency, are taken to the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (‘FCTR’) as described in accounting policy Note 1(g).
During the comparative year, a change in presentation was adopted to reclassify the FCTR balance which related to certain
operations that had changed their functional currency in 2009. Accordingly, an amount of $113.1 million was transferred from
FCTR to retained earnings during the year ended 31 December 2011.

Since the end of the financial year, the Board of Directors has resolved to pay an unfranked dividend of 20 cents per share, to be
paid on 12 March 2013. The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 26 February 2013. The financial impact of this
dividend amounting to $60.7 million has not been recognised in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2012

25 Capital expenditure commitments
In accordance with OZ Minerals’ accounting policy, the commitments for capital expenditure represent the minimum expected
payments where the contracts are not cancellable, otherwise the commitment represents the cancellation fee.
OZ Minerals has entered into contracts for supply of mining and related services in relation to the supply of a tunnel boring
machine for the Carrapateena project and other ongoing capital projects. While these contracts are cancellable, termination
payments are not reliably measurable as they are dependent on various factors such as redundancy costs and cost of goods and
materials purchased by contractors attributable to the contract.
The minimum expected payments in relation to contracts for development of capital projects and equipment which were not
required to be recognised as liabilities at 31 December 2012 amount to approximately $13.0 million (undiscounted) (2011: $75.6
million).

26 Contingencies
Bank guarantees
OZ Minerals Group Treasury Pty Ltd and other controlled entities of the Consolidated Entity have provided certain bank
guarantees to third parties, primarily associated with the terms of mining leases, exploration licences and office leases, in respect
of which the relevant entity is obliged to indemnify the bank if the guarantee is called upon. At the end of the financial year, no
claims have been made under any of these guarantees. The amount of some of these guarantees may vary from time to time
depending upon the requirements of the recipient. These guarantees are backed by collateral deposits and amounted to $30.1
million as at 31 December 2012 (2011: $29.9 million).
Provision is made in the Financial Statements for the anticipated costs of the mine rehabilitation obligations under the mining
leases.
Deeds of indemnity
The Company has granted indemnities under Deeds of Indemnity with each of its current and former Non-Executive Directors
and members of the Executive Committee, the Company Secretary, the Group Treasurer and each employee who is a director of
a controlled entity of the Consolidated Entity, in conformity with Rule 10.2 of OZ Minerals Limited’s constitution.
Where applicable each Deed of Indemnity indemnifies the relevant director, officer or employee to the fullest extent permitted
by law for liabilities incurred while acting as an officer of OZ Minerals, any of its related bodies corporate and any outside entity,
where such an office is held at the request of the Company. Under these indemnities, the Company meets the legal costs
incurred by Company officers in responding to investigations by regulators.
Employees
The Consolidated Entity has a policy that it will, as a general rule, support and hold harmless an employee who, while acting in
good faith, incurs personal liability to others as a result of working for the Consolidated Entity.
Auditor
No indemnity has been granted to an auditor of the Consolidated Entity in their capacity as auditors of the Consolidated Entity.
Warranties and indemnities
The Company has given certain warranties and indemnities to the purchasers of assets and businesses that have been sold.
Warranties have been given in relation to various matters including the sale of assets, taxes and information. Indemnities have
also been given by the Consolidated Entity in relation to matters including compliance with law, environmental claims, failure to
transfer or deliver all assets and pay tax.
Notification was received from one of the purchasers for a possible claim under one of the indemnities. The Company is
disputing this notification. OZ Minerals is not in a position to calculate a sufficiently reliable estimate of the possible obligation, if
found to exist, but in any event it is unlikely to be significant to the financial position of the Consolidated Entity.
Tax related contingencies
The Consolidated Entity is subject to the ATO's routine program of tax reviews and audits. The Consolidated entity may also be
subject to routine tax reviews and audits in overseas jurisdictions. The final outcome of any tax review or audit cannot be
determined with an acceptable degree of reliability. The Consolidated Entity believes that it is making adequate provision for its
taxation liabilities and is taking reasonable steps to address potentially contentious issues with the ATO and tax authorities in
overseas jurisdictions. However there may be an impact on the Consolidated Entity if any revenue authority review or audit
results in an adjustment that increases the Consolidated Entity's taxation liabilities.
Stamp duty refund
OZ Minerals has a contingent asset of $7.5 million refund of stamp duty which is before the Supreme Court of Western Australia,
Court of Appeal. The initial judgement favourable to OZ Minerals has been appealed by the West Australian Office of State
Revenue. The refund of the stamp duty is a possible asset at 31 December 2012 and is dependent on the final Court ruling.
Other
OZ Minerals Limited and its controlled entities are defendants from time to time in other legal proceedings or disputes, arising
from the conduct of their businesses. OZ Minerals does not consider that the outcome of any of these proceedings or disputes is
likely to have a material effect on its financial position or the financial position of the Consolidated Entity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(i) Commodity price risk management and sensitivity analysis
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to commodity price volatility on concentrate sales made by its Prominent Hill Mine. This
arises from sale of metal in concentrate products such as copper and gold, which are priced on, or benchmarked to, open
market exchanges. OZ Minerals aims to realise average copper prices which are materially consistent with the prevailing average
market prices for the same period. The Consolidated Entity attempts to manage any uneven exposure to price in any particular
month by managing shipments or undertaking LME futures transactions.
The trade receivables are carried at fair value using a Level two valuation method as stipulated by AASB 7 Financial Instruments:
Disclosures which involves observable market prices for commodities, adjusted for terms as per sales contracts.
The historical average five-year annual commodity price volatility as per the London Metals Exchange (‘LME’) for copper was
54 percent and as per the London Bullion Market Association (‘LBMA’) for gold and silver was 15 percent and 36 percent
respectively.
At reporting date, if commodity prices increased/(decreased) by the historical average five-year annual commodity price
movement as per the LME, and all other variables were held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s after tax profit/(loss) would have
increased/(decreased) by $49.8 million (2011: $24.4 million).
In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the sensitivity analysis includes the impact of the movement in commodity
prices only on the outstanding trade receivables at the end of the year, which were $159.2 million (2011: $76.5 million) and does
not include the impact of the movement in commodity prices on the total sales for the year.
(ii) Foreign currency exchange risk management and sensitivity analysis
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. This arises from the sale of metal in concentrate products
denominated in US dollars and any assets and liabilities that are held in currencies other than the Australian dollar.
The Consolidated Entity has a policy of holding cash balances in a range of 60:40 to 40:60 of US dollars to Australian dollars.
The carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets and financial liabilities by its currency risk exposure at the
reporting date is disclosed below. The foreign currency exchange risk exposure at balance date mainly arises from US dollar
denominated balances and minor exposures to other foreign currencies.

At reporting date, if the foreign currency exchange rates strengthened/(weakened) against the functional currency by 5 percent
(2011: 5 percent), and all other variables were held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s after tax profit from continuing operations
would have increased/(decreased) by $27.0 million (2011: $27.1 million).
The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items at the reporting date and
adjusts their translation for a 5 percent change in the foreign currency rate (2011: 5 percent). This percentage change reflects the
variability management applies in forecast sensitivity analysis.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(iii) Interest rate risk management and sensitivity analysis
Deposits and borrowings at variable interest rates expose the Consolidated Entity to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Consolidated Entity carries term deposits with fixed interest rates which mature in less than six months. These term deposits
are recognised at amortised cost and therefore not subject to interest rate risk. The effect of a change in interest rates at balance
date would not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Entity’s after tax profit as substantially all cash deposits have fixed
interest rate terms.
The Consolidated Entity does not have any borrowings at 31 December 2012 and therefore is not exposed to interest rate risk
on borrowings.
The effective interest rate for each financial asset/liability is provided below:

(iv) Equity securities price risk management and sensitivity analysis
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to equity securities price risk which arises from investments held and classified on the
Balance Sheet either as investments in equity securities or investments accounted for using the equity method, as set out in the
table below:

The Consolidated Entity’s investments accounted for using the equity method relate to the investment in Toro, as set out in
Note 12 to the Financial Statement. This investment is publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The Consolidated Entity’s investments in equity securities relate to investments in publicly listed entities. The Consolidated Entity
does not actively trade these investments. These investments are carried at fair value using a Level 1 valuation method as
stipulated by AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures which is based on quoted share prices.
The carrying value of the investment in Toro approximates its fair value at 31 December 2012 and 2011.
The carrying value of the investments in equity securities equates to their fair value at 31 December 2012 and 2011.
At reporting date, if the share prices of the entities in which the Consolidated Entity has equity investments which are carried at
fair value increased/(decreased) by one percent, and all other variables were held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s equity
would have increased/(decreased) by $2.9 million (2011: $2.2 million).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(b) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that any counterparty will default on its contractual obligations under a financial instrument resulting
in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity is exposed to counterparty credit risk through sales of metal
in concentrate on normal terms of trade, through deposits of cash, finance leases and settlement risk on foreign exchange
transactions.
At the reporting date, the carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure
which was as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Lease receivables

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is managed by restricting dealing to banks which are assigned high credit ratings by
international credit rating agencies and limiting the amount of funds that can be invested with a single counterparty in
accordance with OZ Minerals’ Credit Risk Management Policy.
Credit risk in trade receivables is managed by the Consolidated Entity by undertaking a regular risk assessment process and
revising credit limits of customers. As there are a relatively small number of transactions, they are closely monitored to ensure
payments are made on time.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the reporting date by geographic region of the customer was:

The total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2012 was $985.7 million (2011: $1,115.9 million). Major customers who
individually accounted for more than 10 percent of total revenue contributed approximately 79 percent of total revenue
(2011: 74 percent). These customers also represent the trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2012 (2011: 81 percent).
Credit risk arising from sales to customers is managed by contracts that stipulate a provisional payment of at least 90 percent of
the estimated value of each sale. This is payable either promptly after vessel loading or upon vessel arriving at the discharge
port. The balance outstanding is received usually within 60 days of the vessel arriving at the port of discharge. Additionally,
several sales are covered by letter of credit arrangements with approved financial institutions.
The Consolidated Entity does not have any significant receivables which are past due at the reporting date. There were no
impairment losses in relation to financial assets during the current or the comparative financial year.
(c) Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
liabilities. OZ Minerals manages liquidity risk by conducting regular reviews of the timing of cash outflows and the maturity
profiles of term deposits in order to ensure sufficient funds are available to meet its obligations.
(i) Financial liabilities
The following are the contractual maturities of the Consolidated Entity’s financial liabilities as at 31 December 2012. The

Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions
Total expenses arising from share-based payment transactions recognised during the year as part of employee benefit expenses
was $4.4 million (2011: $3.4 million).
33 Related parties
(a) Parent entity
The ultimate parent entity within the consolidated entity is OZ Minerals Limited.
(b) Subsidiaries
The parent entity’s interest in subsidiaries is set out in Note 27 to the Financial Statements.
(c) Associates
Information in relation to investments in associates (Toro) is set out in Note 12 to the Financial Statements.
(d) Transactions with related parties
A number of KMPs, or their related parties, hold positions in other entities that may result in them having control or significant
influence over the financial or operating policies of those entities. Where the consolidated entity transacts with the KMPs and
their related parties, the terms and conditions of these transactions are no more favourable than those available, or which might
reasonably be expected to be available, on similar transactions to non-KMP related entities on an arm’s length basis.
34 Litigation settlement expense
During the comparative year, OZ Minerals settled two class actions brought against it by Maurice Blackburn and Slater & Gordon
on behalf of certain shareholders who had acquired shares in OZ Minerals Limited in 2008, for an amount of $60.3 million which
included costs of $4.9 million and interest of $0.3 million.
35 Discontinued operations
During the comparative year, a gain of $9.2 million from discontinued operations was recognised. This gain resulted from the
reassessment of the estimated liability in relation to the settlement of working capital and taxation amounts under the sale
agreement with Minmetals.
36 Events occurring after reporting date
In January 2013, OZ Minerals announced to the ASX the updated Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement for the
Prominent Hill operations and an Ore Resources update for Carrapateena.
Since the end of the financial year, the Board of Directors has resolved to pay an unfranked dividend of 20 cents per share, to be
paid on 12 March 2013. The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 26 February 2013. The financial impact of this
dividend amounting to $60.7 million has not been recognised in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2012
and will be recognised in subsequent Financial Statements.
There have been no other events that have occurred subsequent to the reporting date which have significantly affected or may
significantly affect the consolidated entity’s operations, results or state of affairs in future years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Independent auditor’s report to the members of OZ Minerals Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying Financial Report of OZ Minerals Limited (‘the Company’), which comprises the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2012, and the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that
date, notes 1 to 36 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the
Directors’ Declaration of the Consolidated Entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from
time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ responsibility for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors
determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Report that is free from material misstatement whether due
to fraud or error. In note 1(b), the Directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation
of Financial Statements, that the Financial Statements of the Consolidated Entity comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating
to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Financial Report is free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Report.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of
the Financial Report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Financial Report.
We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the Financial Report presents fairly, in accordance with
the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding
of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position and of its performance.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

firm of the KPMG network of independent
