CHAIRMAN AND CEO’S REVIEW
Neil Hamilton
Terry Burgess
Dear Shareholder,
2013 was a year of investment at
the Prominent Hill mine, with record
waste movement in the Malu Open Pit,
a successful first full year of production
from the Ankata Underground mine and
work towards development of a third
ore source, the Malu Underground mine,
which is beneath the Malu Open Pit.
The peak of our waste ore removal is
now behind us, enabling the Company
to forecast lower overall expenditure and
improving production going forward.
Prominent Hill is expected to produce
each year for 2015 to 2018 in excess of
105,000 tonnes of copper and 105,000
ounces of gold in 2015, increasing
to in excess of 120,000 ounces of
gold from 2016 to 2018. This includes
10,000–20,000 tonnes of copper
and 25,000–35,000 ounces of gold
from the Malu Underground mine
Resources per annum. (Refer to
disclaimer on page 5.)
In December 2013, the decision to
proceed with the Malu Underground
mine was made to selectively target
higher grade resources under the open
pit. We are currently finalising an ore
reserve evaluation for the new mine,
which should be published by the end
of the first half of 2014 and we expect
to commence commissioning in late 2014.
At Carrapateena, we commenced work
on a pre-feasibility study to determine
a single option for full feasibility and
project development. In early 2014,
OZ Minerals commenced discussions with
a number of parties that have shown
interest in the project and may participate
in the development of the project in
the future. We also continued to have
exploration success in the Carrapateena
region. Significant drilling results received
from our discovery Khamsin only ten
kilometres from the Carrapateena deposit,
indicate a potential for a large copper-gold
system in the Carrapateena region.
In 2013, lower production and lower
commodity prices resulted in an underlying
EBITDA of $115.8 million and underlying
NPAT loss of $62.5 million, from revenue
of $644 million. In June 2013, asset
write-downs of $231.9 million (net of tax)
were recognised in relation to Prominent
Hill assets, leading to an overall NPAT
loss of $294.4 million for the full year.
At the end of 2013, OZ Minerals had a cash
balance of $364 million and an undrawn
bank debt facility of US$200 million.
During 2013, 73,362 tonnes of copper and
128,045 ounces of gold were produced
from Prominent Hill. Early in the year,
the Prominent Hill open pit operations
were impacted by an overburden slip
at the top of the south wall, which
led to production challenges in stage
three of the pit for most of the year.
Full open pit access resumed in July.
In 2013, we continued our focus on
a number of business improvement
initiatives aimed at increasing productivity
and reducing costs across the Company.
In respect of the financial year ended
31 December 2013, the Company has paid
dividends totalling 20 cents per share.
The dividends were paid outside of
OZ Minerals’ stated dividend policy, but
reflects the Board’s future confidence
in the Company and is supported by
the Company’s strong cash position
and balance sheet.
3
We are also pleased to report that
there was a significant improvement
in our safety performance in 2013,
with a 26 percent improvement in
the total recordable injury frequency
rate over the year.
Finally, the Board announced its plans to
embark on a staged succession planning
process for the role of Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer. This process
will take place over the remainder of
the year in order to facilitate an orderly
leadership change.
We encourage you to read the
Operating and Financial Review on
page 28 of this report, which includes
detailed information on our operation
and financial results for 2013.

peak of waste movement for the Malu
Open Pit mine, which was in line with
the mine plan. Planned waste movement
will be progressively lower over the
remaining pit life.
The Ankata Underground mine
successfully completed its first full
year of production, and the Board
approved the future development
of the Malu Underground mine,
potentially extending the life of the
Prominent Hill mine.
Following an overburden slip in the
Malu Open Pit mine, the affected area
was remediated and focus was placed
on regaining and improving efficiency.
Detailed information on the Prominent
Hill operation can be found in the
Operating and Financial Review on
pages 30–31.
Future production outlook
In December 2013, OZ Minerals announced
its future production outlook for the
Prominent Hill operation.
Production in 2014 is expected to be
75,000 to 80,000 tonnes of copper and
130,000 to 140,000 ounces of gold as
mining moves progressively back towards
the core of the orebody**. This includes
approximately 4,000 tonnes of copper
and 3,500 ounces of gold from the
Malu Underground mine, which is
expected to commence commissioning
in late 2014**.
Copper production from the Malu
Open Pit mine and Ankata Underground
mine for 2015 to 2018 is expected to be
at least 95,000 tonnes per annum, based
solely on Reserves, with an additional
10,000–20,000 tonnes expected from
the Malu Underground mine Resources
per annum**. Gold production, also
based only on Reserves, is expected to
be in excess of 95,000 ounces per annum,
with an additional 25,000–35,000 ounces
expected from the Malu Underground
mine Resources per annum**.
**See disclaimer on page 5.

Disclaimers
1. The information that relates to Prominent Hill
future production outlook is extracted from
the report entitled ‘Prominent Hill Reserves and
Resources and Production Outlook’ released to
the market on 11 December 2013 (‘PHRR’) and
is available at www.ozminerals.com/operations/
resources--reserves.html. The Company confirms
that it is not aware of any new information
or data that materially affects the information
included in the PHRR and that all material
assumptions and technical parameters
underpinning the estimates in the PHRR continue
to apply and have not materially changed.
2. This production target for Malu Underground
is based on the Company’s current expectations
of future results or events and should not
be solely relied upon by investors when
making investment decisions. It is based on
the Company’s current understanding of the
Resource. The Malu Underground Resource
is based on measured, indicated and inferred
Resources. There is a low level of geological
confidence associated with inferred mineral
resources, and there is no certainty that
further exploration work will result in the
determination of indicated mineral resources
or that the production target itself will be
realised. The Company has not yet completed
the necessary technical studies to determine
an ore reserve, and the production target
should not be misconstrued as an ore reserve.
Further evaluation work and appropriate
studies are required to establish sufficient
confidence that this target will be met,
and an ore reserve evaluation is expected
to be made in the first half of 2014.

CARRAPATEENA PROJECT SUMMARY
Carrapateena is a very significant copper-gold
resource, located in a highly favourable mining
jurisdiction, with the potential for a long mine life.
SOUTH
AUSTRALIA
ADELAIDE
PROMINENT HILL
CARRAPATEENA
LOCATION
250 kilometres south-east of Prominent Hill,
130 kilometres north of the regional centre
of Port Augusta, in South Australia.
DEPOSIT
Iron oxide copper-gold deposit.
STATUS
Advanced exploration project, pre-feasibility
study due to be completed first half 2014.
RESOURCES
Total Indicated and Inferred Resources
(at a 0.3 percent copper cut-off) of 800Mt
@ 0.8% copper and 0.3g/t gold for
6.3Mt copper and 8.4Moz of gold*.
*See page 9 for full disclosure.
The Carrapateena copper-gold project,
in South Australia, continues to
demonstrate its value. The iron oxide
copper-gold deposit, of a similar style
to Prominent Hill, is located in an area
that is demonstrating potential to host
further deposits.
OZ Minerals is currently undertaking
a pre-feasibility study to determine the
potential of mining this deposit in the
future. The Carrapateena pre-feasibility
study aims to determine a single option
for project development to take to
a full feasibility study.
OZ Minerals has commenced discussions
with parties who may be interested in
participating in the Carrapateena project
in the future.
Exploration
In 2014, OZ Minerals’ exploration program
will remain focused on the Carrapateena
region, with expenditure of approximately
$15 million to occur at the Khamsin and
Fremantle Doctor prospects.
Since its discovery in late 2012, the Khamsin
prospect, located 10 kilometres north-west
of Carrapateena, has continued to return
significant results, indicating a potential
large copper-gold system with similar
characteristics to Carrapateena. The aim
is to estimate an initial resource for
Khamsin by mid 2014.
Detailed information on the Carrapateena
project can be found in the Operating
and Financial Review on pages 31–33.

SUSTAINABILITY
Our successes as a modern mining company
are created by positively contributing to our
people, our community and the environment.
OZ Minerals continued to work towards
its diversity targets. Three of the five job
bands have achieved the company-wide
target of 25 percent female representation.
Females currently constitute 23 percent
of OZ Minerals employees.
OZ Minerals provides sponsorships to
sustainable locally driven initiatives
in communities close to its operations.
OZ Minerals’ main sponsorships include
the Royal Flying Doctors Service (RFDS),
Sight for All Foundation, the School
of the Air (SOTA), the Remote & Isolated
Children’s Exercise Inc. (RICE), the South
Australian Living Arts Festival (SALA)
OZ Minerals Copper Sculpture Award, as
well as local events and sporting groups.
In 2013, we had no significant community
or environmental incidents.
OZ Minerals’ safety performance in 2013
continued the year-on-year improvement
achieved since 2010. Our total recordable
injury frequency rate (TRIFR) per one
million hours reduced significantly from
10.49 in 2012 to 7.69 in 2013, while the
lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR)
also decreased from 1.46 to 0.96. There
were no permanent or serious disabling
injuries for the year.
OZ Minerals continued to implement its
safety improvement strategy over the year,
and was pleased to see significant progress
in safety performance. OZ Minerals has
continued a number of initiatives to
develop a robust safety culture where
our workforce feels empowered to raise
safety issues before there is potential
for an incident.
A significant focus during 2013 was placed
on identifying incidents that had potential
to cause more serious consequences and
eliminating the root cause to prevent
their reoccurrence. These are known
as high-potential incidents. OZ Minerals’
intention is to promote the identification
and elimination of high-risk situations,
educate the workforce of these risks and
prevent incidents that can cause harm.
LEADING MY CAREER
OZ Minerals has targets to increase female
representation to 25 percent across every
level within the Company. OZ Minerals
recognises that in order for women to reach
senior management positions, they must be
supported during each stage of their career.
To facilitate this, OZ Minerals runs an
award winning career development program
specifically for women to provide training
and mentoring, called Leading My Career.
This program is run in conjunction with
Beach Energy, an Adelaide-based oil and
gas company, and Thiess, our major open
pit mining contractor.
Leading My Career partners high-performing
women with a senior mentor, including
members of the Board of Directors, Executive
Committee and general management of
the participating organisations. Through
a structured program, participants develop
crucial skills to act on their career goals.
The majority of participants have moved into
more senior roles following the program.

RESOURCES AND RESERVES
Prominent Hill 2013 Mineral Resources Summary
For a full copy of the Prominent Hill Resources and Reserves statement, please visit www.ozminerals.com.
The 2013 Resources for the Malu Open Pit and Ankata Underground were largely maintained after accounting for mining depletion.
The total Prominent Hill Mineral Resource at 30 June 2013 was 186Mt at 1.1 percent copper and 0.7g/t gold for 2.0Mt of contained copper
and 3.9Moz of contained gold.
For the underground Resources (Malu Underground, Ankata and Kalaya), there was an increase in the cut-off grade from 0.5 percent Cu
to 0.9 percent CuEq (copper equivalent) to better reflect the mining and operational costs for the sub-level open stoping mining method.
The Malu Underground and Kalaya Resources decreased as a result of the increase in the cut-off grade. The impact of the cut-off grade
on the Ankata Underground Resource was less due to its higher grade.
The 2013 Resources for the Malu Open Pit and Underground were based on an updated model replacing the previous 2012 models. This model
was developed after a detailed review, over the past year, of new resource delineation drilling from below the open pit, geochemical review
and learnings from open pit mining, including information at the periphery of the orebody. The updated model also contributed to
the reduction in Malu Underground Resources. The Ankata Underground model was also updated based on further drilling. There was
no re-estimation or re-modelling of the Kalaya Underground Resources with no new drilling data or geological interpretation.

Carrapateena 2013 Mineral Resources summary
For a full copy of the Carrapateena Mineral Resource statement, please visit www.ozminerals.com.
Since the estimation of the 2012 Resource for Carrapateena, drilling focused on the lower part of the deposit, and the Resource estimated
in the 2013 update increased from 760Mt to 800Mt.
In the 2013 Resource, an additional seven holes (including five wedged holes) totalling 11,187m were included in the data modelling,
bringing the total number of holes and metres drilled and intersecting mineralisation to 100 holes and 65,690m respectively.
Total Indicated and Inferred Resources (at a 0.3 percent copper cut-off) have increased from 760Mt at 0.8 percent copper and 0.3g/t Au
for 5.9Mt of contained copper and 7.3Moz of contained gold to 800Mt at 0.8 percent copper and 0.3g/t gold for 6.3Mt copper and 8.4Moz
of gold, reflecting:
• an increase in tonnage of 5 percent;
• an increase in contained copper of 7 percent; and
• an increase in contained gold of 14 percent.
The increase is mainly attributable to the additional drilling information, which has allowed geologists to better understand and interpret
the deeper parts of the deposit and extend the envelope of the copper mineralisation.

RESOURCES AND RESERVES – CONTINUED
Prominent Hill 2013 Ore Reserves Summary
For a full copy of the Prominent Hill Resources and Reserves statement, please visit www.ozminerals.com.
The Ore Reserve at 30 June 2013 was 67Mt at 1.0 percent copper and 0.6g/t gold for 652kt of contained copper and 1.2Moz of contained
gold. The Malu Open Pit Reserve was largely unchanged from the 2012 Reserve after accounting for mining depletion. The Ankata
Underground Reserve did not change from that of 2012, with additions from diamond drilling replacing ore mined. Reconciliation of
contained copper and gold at Prominent Hill remained positive, with the metal mined and processed consistently exceeding predictions
of the Resource model.

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 main policies of corporate governance 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. The
Board Charter is available on the Company’s website. 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.
In addition to attending the regular Board and 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, in a
format determined by the Board, from the MD&CEO and Directors are briefed regularly by EXCO and members of the executive
management team and other senior managers. Time is also allocated through 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 Delegated Authorities 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 2013. 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 2013. The performance reviews 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 47 to 66.
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. OZ Minerals’
Board currently 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 each Director, 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 that they satisfy the
independence criteria set out in the Board Charter and to disclose 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 made aware. 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.
12
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
Selection and appointment of Directors
The Board, with the assistance of the Nomination and Board Governance Committee, regularly reviews its membership to ensure
that it has the appropriate mix of diversity, skills and experience required to meet the needs of the Company. When a Board
position becomes vacant or additional Directors are required, 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.
During 2013, Mr Paul Dowd and Mr Charles Lenegan were re-elected as Directors of the Company and Mr Barry Lavin resigned
from the Board.
Director induction and education
The Company has a process to educate Directors about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy and the
expectations of the Company concerning the performance of Directors.
It has been the practice of Directors to visit the Company’s mining operations and regularly meet with management to gain a
better understanding of the business. During 2013, all Directors visited the Prominent Hill site at least once.
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 and to the Company’s Executives and, subject to prior
consultation with the Chairperson, 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 and Board Governance Committee, regularly monitors its performance and the
performance of the Directors and Committees throughout the year and conducts a 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. In accordance with this approach and on the basis that the 2012 full year review was
undertaken with the assistance of an independent external third party facilitator, the 2013 Board review process was led by the
Chairman based on interviews with each of the Directors.
The outcomes of the review were discussed and considered by all the Directors and specific performance goals agreed upon for
the coming year. The Board also reviewed the performance of Mr Dean Pritchard and Ms Rebecca McGrath who are standing for
re-election at the May 2014 Annual General Meeting.
Board Committees
The standing Committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Sustainability Committee, the Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee and the Nomination and 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 codes and policies to help
Directors and employees understand what is expected of them. Below is a summary of the Company’s core codes and policies
which apply to Directors and employees. All policies are available on the Company’s website.
13
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
Code of Conduct
The Code of Conduct describes standards for appropriate ethical and professional behavior 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 also has an Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy which aims to ensure that all employees observe and
comply with anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and regulations.
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 without being subject to victimisation, harassment or discriminatory treatment, and to have such
concerns properly investigated. 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 securities.
The policy, which was last revised in February 2014, establishes ‘blackout 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 Human Resources and Remuneration Committee is overseeing the
implementation and approval of programs and measurable targets which are set out in more detail below.
Improving Female Representation
In an industry with historically low numbers of women, OZ Minerals has a targeted strategy to increase the representation of
women at every level within the Company.
Females currently constitute 23 percent of the OZ Minerals employees and 14 percent of our Prominent Hill workforce.
Responsibility for our strategic approach to diversity lies with the OZ Minerals Board through the Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee and the Sustainability Committee. Responsibility for performance against diversity goals lies with the
MD&CEO, supported by the EXCO and the executive management team.
OZ Minerals sets formal diversity targets which are included as part of measuring the Company’s overall performance and are
formalised within our Diversity Policy. Progress against these targets is reviewed quarterly. The OZ Minerals Board also
undertakes a quarterly review of gender pay equity within each job band level of the Company.
OZ Minerals’ target is to achieve a 25 percent female representation at every level within the company. At present, our individual
contributors, supervisory levels and senior leadership levels have greater than 25 percent female representation. We are
continuing to pursue gains within our middle management areas.
We acknowledge that improving female representation needs to occur at all levels. Our recruitment target is to achieve at least
one female interviewed for 80 percent of all roles recruited. In 2013, OZ Minerals recruited 35 roles, of which 24 included female
applicants. There were 17 roles in which females were appointed to the position.
14
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
We recognise that an important aspect of promoting gender diversity is to provide opportunities for women to move into key
decision-making roles within the business. We have implemented training and development programs targeted for our high-
performing women, particularly within our middle management group. These programs and initiatives have been personally
spear headed and sponsored by the MD&CEO.
In 2013, we continued our successful Leading My Career program, run in conjunction with Beach Energy, an Adelaide based oil
and gas company, and Thiess, our major mining contractor. Leading My Career provides specialised training and mentoring for
our high performing women, particularly those who demonstrate potential to move into middle management in upcoming
years.
Participants in Leading My Career are matched with a formal mentor. The mentor provides an opportunity for participants to
engage with challenging and affirmative role models and learn from their professional and personal experiences.
The program has had great success in increasing the profile of women within their organisation, and has enabled participants to
openly discuss their career goals with their managers. Several participants have since taken on more senior roles.
Leading My Career participants were encouraged to apply for a scholarship to attend the Luminaries program, run by Behind
Closed Doors. The Luminaries program is an invitation-only program aimed at “future executives” and gives the women on the
program the chance to discuss business issues and support each other to attain greater professional success. Two OZ Minerals
employees received Luminaries scholarships in 2013.
OZ Minerals offers equal remuneration for all our employees, reflective of the type of job, years of experience and the period for
which employees have held their position. We annually review the earnings of our employees by gender and job band level to
provide assurance that our employee’s remuneration remains equitable and in line with market trends.
Measurable Targets
The measurable targets set out in the OZ Minerals Diversity Policy assist in managing diversity and make sure that diversity is
integrated into business and workforce planning. The table below sets out the measurable targets for 2013 and provides details
on the progress of the Company towards these targets.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
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 150 Aboriginal people working at Prominent Hill – one of the highest
representations of Aboriginal people within Australian mining workforces.
OZ Minerals runs a two-day cross cultural awareness program for all Prominent Hill employees, including contractors. The
program is run by traditional owners of the land, the Antakirinja Aboriginal group. It focuses on educating people about
Aboriginal culture, particularly Antakirinja culture, including their beliefs, connection to the land and areas of cultural
significance, as well as looking at Aboriginal ways of life and challenges that persist. The program has been an important part of
creating an inclusive, supportive culture at Prominent Hill.
At Carrapateena, the Kokatha Uwankara Native Title Claimant Group in collaboration with OZ Minerals is developing a culture
awareness training program for OZ Minerals employees and contractors based at Carrapateena. This program will focus on the
cultural beliefs and traditions of the Kokatha Uwankara people.
In 2014, the Company will continue to pursue improved gender diversity in addition to its ongoing commitment to providing
employment opportunities to Aboriginal people. 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.
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 in the Director’s Report on pages 20 to 23. 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.
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.
The Company has a Continuous Disclosure Policy and Continuous Disclosure Protocols and Procedures, which outline the
processes, 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.
Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are provided with all 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 AGM, the Company’s website, email notifications and in published reports. Shareholders are able to
elect to receive email communications from the Company which includes notification by email of their 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 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 risk 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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
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 Standard ISO 31000. Risks are ranked both pre mitigating controls and
post mitigating controls and the rankings reflect different types of 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. (See the Operating and Financial Review in the 2013 Directors’ Report which
identified the risk areas, as at the date of the Directors’ Report, which may affect the Company’s future operating and financial
performance and the Company’s approach to managing them).
The risk framework and the consideration of the Company’s risk appetite is regularly reviewed at least half yearly by the Board
and on a quarterly basis by the Executive Committee. Risks are analysed and reported on using risk registers which are common
to all areas of the business and are centrally consolidated.
The Company’s risk management policy which details the Company’s approach to managing risks is available on the Company’s
website.
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.
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, regulations and policy, fraud prevention and detection, plus specific services as directed by the Company to
ensure an effective control environment. 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 (or its sub committee) approving the Company’s 2013 full year financial results, certifications from the
MD&CEO and the CFO are provided in relation to the Company’s system of risk oversight and management and compliance
with internal controls in relation to financial reporting risks.
The MD&CEO and CFO certifications included declarations in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 that
the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting standards and that they give a true and fair view,
in all material respects, of the financial position and performance of the Company for the 2013 financial year. The MD&CEO and
CFO certifications also provided assurances that the declarations provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations
Act 2001 are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in
all material respects.
The MD&CEO and CFO declarations and assurances were supported by management certifications, which included management
certifications provided by General Managers responsible for the operations and key functions.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
The Human Resources and 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
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 Consolidated Entity’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 Consolidated Entity’s licenses and permits is monitored on a regular basis and in various forms, including
environmental audits conducted by the Consolidated Entity, regulatory authorities and other third parties. A documented
process is used by the Consolidated Entity 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 2013 OZ Minerals was granted Retention Lease 127 at the Consolidated Entity’s Carrapateena Project from the
Department for Manufacturing, Innovation, Trade, Resources and Energy (‘DMITRE’) under the South Australian Mining Act 1971
inclusive of other permitting requirements under necessary state legislation and the signing of a Native Title Mining Agreement
with the Kokotha Uwankara Native Title Claimant Group.
During the year, OZ Minerals completed its fifth 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.

Audit and non-audit services
KPMG continues in office in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. A copy of the external Auditor’s Independence
Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 67 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 do not impair the external auditor’s independence.
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the external auditor (KPMG) and its network firms for audit and non-audit services
provided during the year are set out below and in Note 30 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Overview
OZ Minerals is an Australian-based modern mining company focused on copper.
OZ Minerals owns and operates the Prominent Hill copper-gold mine with Malu Open Pit, Ankata Underground and
development of Malu Underground, and owns the Carrapateena copper-gold project.
Prominent Hill and Carrapateena are both located in the highly favourable mining jurisdiction of South Australia. The Prominent
Hill mine is located 650 kilometres north-west of Adelaide and 130 kilometres south-east of Coober Pedy. Carrapateena is
located 250 kilometres from Prominent Hill and 160 kilometres north of Port Augusta.
OZ Minerals’ business model is to generate shareholder value through the discovery and development of copper deposits and
production and sale of copper concentrate. Prominent Hill produces a high-grade copper concentrate, containing copper, gold
and silver, which is sold to customers in Asia and Europe. Project evaluation is currently being conducted on the Carrapateena
project. Exploration activities are underway primarily in the Carrapateena district and other selected locations overseas.
As of 31 December 2013, OZ Minerals’ market capitalisation was $955.9 million.
OZ Minerals employs a direct workforce of 380 people. Prominent Hill has a workforce of approximately 1,400, with the majority
being contractors’ employees.
As a modern mining business, the Company sees the importance of facilitating an organisational culture where diversity is both
appreciated and expected. OZ Minerals believes that a workforce which includes both men and women and people of all
generations and cultures adds to the success of its business.
OZ Minerals has a strong sustainability focus and ensures that its actions positively contribute to its people, its local
communities and environment.
With an experienced team, a strong balance sheet and valuable mine assets, OZ Minerals is well positioned for the future.
Strategy
The objective of OZ Minerals’ Strategy is to deliver superior shareholder returns built upon a foundation of Governance and
Zero Harm with the following five key elements:
Focus on copper
•
• Maximise potential of assets
•
Build a project pipeline
•
•
Invest in exploration
Exercise disciplined capital management
Focus on copper
Copper is a commodity in which OZ Minerals has a depth of experience in exploration, development and operations. In terms of
the long term price, OZ Minerals believes copper has a favourable outlook as it is supported by long term supply and demand
fundamentals when compared to all other base metals and most other mineral commodities.
OZ Minerals’ focus on copper has been premised on a continued high demand for copper, particularly from China, as well as
other emerging economies as a result of copper’s consumption in major urbanisation and urban renewal programs and by the
expectation that existing and currently planned operations will struggle to meet forecast demand levels.
OZ Minerals’ strategic choice of copper has continued to be supported by the superior price performance of copper compared
with other base metal prices, which have been restricted by oversupply or the threat of oversupply (particularly from China).
Prices for bulk commodities have moderated on reduced demand and increased supply from new production – OZ Minerals
does not consider bulk commodity development to be suited to its current scale or field of expertise.
The Company continues to believe that the outlook for copper will remain favourable for many years to come.
Gold, the major by-product, continues to have an outlook which is more favourable than other by-products such as cobalt and
molybdenum.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Maximise potential of assets
Maximising assets through cost reduction, mining and processing plant improvements, capital investment and exploration
ensures that OZ Minerals extract the best possible value from the assets it owns and operate, particularly through innovative
business improvement initiatives generated by staff.
OZ Minerals is extending the life of Prominent Hill through the development of Malu Underground, which is expected to
commence stoping activities and production in 2014.
OZ Minerals is pursuing cost reduction strategies across the Company.
Since 2010, OZ Minerals has maximised production from Prominent Hill with the plant consistently milling and treating
9.5-10 million tonnes per annum compared to the nameplate capacity of 8 million tonnes per annum. The development of
underground resources at Ankata Underground, which commenced production in 2012, and at Malu Underground, expected to
commence production later in 2014, are planned to add approximately five years to the life of operations at Prominent Hill.
Build a project pipeline
A sustainable project pipeline can be achieved through organic development of existing projects and acquisition of
development stage or advanced exploration projects.
With OZ Minerals primary focus on copper, and gold as the preferred by-product, its objective is to develop or acquire projects
with copper production or potential production of 50,000 to 150,000 tonnes of copper per annum, which are currently operating
or at an advanced development stage. OZ Minerals seeks projects located in countries with low to medium sovereign risk.
The acquisition of Carrapateena in May 2011 was clearly in line with OZ Minerals Strategy and adds a significant opportunity to
the Company’s project pipeline with the potential to become a long term copper mine in one of the safest jurisdictions in the
world.
A pre-feasibility study is underway on the Carrapateena project and considerable value has been added through exploration
which has significantly increased the known size of the Carrapateena resource.
OZ Minerals business development activities and its investments have been highly disciplined with regard to the core
requirement of acquiring value-adding assets, while at the same time meeting the Company’s criteria of commodity, scale, and
geography and project status.
OZ Minerals early-stage investment in Sandfire Resources NL has to date grown significantly in market value with the successful
development of the DeGrussa mine and OZ Minerals continue to monitor operational and exploration progress.
In terms of project scale, most projects reviewed over the last four years have been in the lower half of the Company’s preferred
production range, namely 50,000 to 100,000 tonnes of copper per year, and OZ Minerals expects this will likely continue to be
the case in the immediate future.
On occasion, projects under review have demonstrated superior performance in other commodities (for example, zinc) but not in
copper, have met basic investment parameters during our due diligence process but were in jurisdictions judged to be high risk
(for example, DRC and Saudi Arabia); or, while meeting all other requirements, have simply not demonstrated the required
shareholder return, based on their acquisition cost, capital and operating costs, assuming realistic long term commodity prices,
at normal cost of capital rates and taking into consideration operating and other associated risks.
Invest in exploration
OZ Minerals has focused on adding value through directing its exploration experience on the regions around its existing assets.
The Khamsin deposit, discovered in late 2012 is located 10 kilometres from the Carrapateena project. Results to date indicate
that Khamsin has the potential to be a copper-gold system similar to Carrapateena and indicates the potential for a copper
district rather than a single deposit located at Carrapateena.
29
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Exercise disciplined capital management
OZ Minerals has a proven track record of maximising shareholder returns through distributing cash flows from operations that
are surplus to the needs of its business. Since 2010, OZ Minerals has returned more than $1.1 billion to shareholders.
Funds have been returned to shareholders via a capital return of $389 million (equivalent to $1.20 per share) and an on-market
share buyback of $200 million, in addition to dividends. OZ Minerals’ Dividend Policy is to distribute between 30-60 percent of
normal operating profits and since 2010 a total of $536 million (equivalent to $1.77 per share) has been paid to shareholders as
dividends.
The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with no drawn debt and a cash balance of $364.0 million held as at the end of
2013. This balance sheet strength provides the Company leverage to continue to take advantage of opportunities which meet its
strategic objectives and to pursue the organic growth project at Malu Underground.
Overview of operations
Safety performance
OZ Minerals’ safety strategy 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 operating at its sites.
OZ Minerals achieved sustained positive improvement in its safety performance, with a significant improvement in Total
Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (‘TRFIR’) per million hours worked to 7.69 (full year 2012: 10.49). The Lost Time Injury
Frequency Rate (‘LTIFR’) per million hours worked decreased to 0.96 from 1.46 in 2012. There were no permanent or serious
disabling injuries in 2013 - extending this achievement to three consecutive years.
OZ Minerals’ safety strategy is centred on cultural change and reduction of risk. A key focus for 2013 was the identification of
incidents with high potential for more serious consequences. Emphasis was placed on identifying the root causes of the
incidents to prevent their reoccurrence and sharing the lessons across the Company.
OZ Minerals’ commitment to Zero Harm by Choice is reflected in the OZ Minerals Sustainability Policy and is supported by the
OZ Minerals Sustainability Standards, which are a comprehensive set of standards for management of the safety and health,
environmental and social aspects of the operations of the Company.
Prominent Hill
Production from Malu Open Pit and Ankata Underground
In 2013, because of operational difficulties, OZ Minerals reduced its production guidance. Reserve estimates supporting the
original production guidance have not materially changed and the 2013 production shortfall is planned into production in future
years.
Copper production of 73,362 tonnes and gold production of 128,045 ounces were within the upper half of the amended
guidance ranges for both copper (70,000 to 75,000 tonnes) and gold (120,000 to 130,000 ounces).
Malu Open Pit
During 2013, total material mined of 86.8Mt comprised 8.3Mt of ore and 78.5Mt of waste, an all-time material movement record
for the operation. In line with the Malu Open Pit mine plan, 2013 saw the peak of the waste movement required for life of the
open pit with future planned waste movement being progressively lower over the remaining pit life.
Operations in the open pit were impacted by a slip in a section of the overburden at the top of the South Wall during the first
part of 2013, which led to restricted access to the main mining area below this slip. Remediation of the south wall overburden
slip was completed in late July and re-entry into quarantined mining areas resumed thereafter.
The attempt to maximise ore production during this challenging period led to inefficiencies within the pit with mining on
multiple benches, lower productivities and sub-optimal use of mining equipment. A number of measures were subsequently
undertaken to ensure the most efficient and productive use of mining equipment in order to maximise value over the remaining
life of the open pit. This has included full optimisation of the automated mining fleet dispatch system and larger, more open
working spaces on a reduced number of mining benches, resulting in better excavator and truck efficiencies and productivities.
30
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Ankata Underground
Following the discovery of the Ankata deposit in 2007, the development of the Ankata Underground mine was approved by the
Board in 2010 and commissioned during 2012. In 2013, 1.2Mt of ore was mined from Ankata Underground with 27,000 tonnes of
copper produced, successfully achieving design production levels in the first full year of production. Since commissioning in
2012, Ankata Underground mine life has been extended by a further four years and now has a projected mine life supported by
reserves and inferred resources to 2022. Over its mine life, Ankata Underground is expected to annually mine about 1.2Mt of
copper ore each year.
Processing
The Prominent Hill processing plant continued to perform at a high level of availability, throughput and recovery throughout
2013. During the year, 9.5Mt of ore was milled with the plant well exceeding the 8Mt annual nameplate capacity. Copper
recoveries remained high at 88.4 percent. Production of 73,362 tonnes of copper and 128,045 ounces of gold was achieved.
Carrapateena
Progress to date
The Carrapateena copper-gold project was purchased in May 2011 and continues to demonstrate its quality.
An iron oxide copper-gold deposit of a similar style to Prominent Hill and Olympic Dam, Carrapateena is a very significant
copper resource located in a highly favourable mining jurisdiction and in a copper district which is demonstrating potential to
host further deposits.
The drilling program undertaken in 2013 has increased the total number of holes and metres drilled and intersecting
mineralisation to 100 holes and 65,690m respectively.
Total Indicated and Inferred Resources (at a 0.3 percent copper cut-off) have increased from 760Mt at 0.8 percent copper and
0.3g/t Au for 5.9Mt of contained copper and 7.3Moz of contained gold to 800Mt at 0.8 percent copper and 0.3g/t gold for 6.3Mt
contained copper and 8.4Moz of contained gold 1.
The increase is mainly attributable to the additional drilling information which has allowed OZ Minerals’ geologists to better
understand and interpret the deeper parts of the deposit and extend the envelope of the copper mineralisation.
In 2013, OZ Minerals was granted a Retention Lease over the Carrapateena project area by DMITRE, the South Australian
regulator.
A Native Title Agreement was also reached with the Kokatha Uwankara Claimant Group, covering OZ Minerals’ Retention Lease
activities at the Carrapateena project.
1 The information that relates to the Carrapateena Reserves and Resources is extracted from the report entitled ‘Carrapateena
Resources and Reserves statement’ (‘CRRS’) released to the market on 28 November 2013. The Company confirms that it is not
aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the CRRS and that all material
assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the CRRS continue to apply and have not materially
changed.
31
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Pre-feasibility study
A pre-feasibility study commenced in March 2013 and is on schedule for completion towards the end of the first half of 2014.
The study is examining a range of options with the aim being to determine a single option for project development to take to a
full feasibility study. Work to date includes drilling the deposit to obtain metallurgical samples for test work and for rock stress
measurements, as well as drill-testing for potential groundwater resources.
The study has progressed with engineering on a range of project configurations nearing completion.
Following the pre-feasibility study, and subject to demonstrating that development will meet the Company’s objectives and
achieve subsequent Board approval, the next phase would be to conduct a feasibility study and detailed geotechnical
assessment of the orebody. This process will refine the chosen implementation decisions made in the pre-feasibility study and
will confirm if the defined mineral resource is able to be mined and produce an acceptable economic return on investment.
OZ Minerals has received enquiries from a number of parties which are interested in learning more about the Carrapateena
project and Khamsin. An information sheet has been provided which collates previously published information and in a limited
number of cases, some parties have entered confidentiality agreements to access further information. This is seen as
preparatory work to potentially introducing other participants to the project following completion of the pre-feasibility study.
Mining
The base case being considered in the pre-feasibility study is to develop the orebody as an underground dual lift block cave
mine with a production rate of 12.4Mtpa and a possible life of over 20 years. These estimates will be further refined by the
findings of the pre-feasibility study and the feasibility study.
As noted, the feasibility study will require detailed geotechnical testing of the orebody which, in turn, will require physical access.
To facilitate this and to obtain metallurgical samples, an exploration decline had been originally planned as part of the pre-
feasibility study. A tunnel boring machine (TBM) was acquired and is being refurbished to be used in construction of this
decline. However, construction costs tendered during 2013 were unacceptable, being well in excess of detailed cost estimates.
As noted, drilling has obtained the samples necessary for metallurgical test work and the Company will revisit construction of
the exploration decline in line with the pre-feasibility study decision.
Infrastructure
The project is well placed to take advantage of local infrastructure, with the Stuart Highway, Adelaide to Darwin railway and grid
power all within 50 kilometres of site. There are suitable port facilities at both Port Pirie and Whyalla. The nearest regional centre,
Port Augusta, with a population of 13,000 people, is well served with regular flights to Adelaide.
Processing plant
Metallurgical test work continues to confirm the production of a high grade copper-gold concentrate and high copper and gold
recoveries, with uranium being considerably downgraded from ore feed to concentrate.
The concentrate product is expected to be transported to a rail siding for transfer to Adelaide where it would be loaded for
shipping to overseas copper smelters.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Khamsin discovery and regional prospects
Regional exploration on the Carrapateena licenses currently remains focussed on the Khamsin discovery, located 10 kilometres
northwest of Carrapateena. The discovery was made in late 2012 and to date 22 holes have been drilled with assay results
awaited for the latest two holes.
Positive assay results continue to be returned from this potential new deposit. Current drilling is aimed at extending the
boundaries of the known mineralisation as well as increasing the confidence of grade continuity. Mineralisation intervals to date
indicate that Khamsin has the potential to be a large copper-gold system with similar characteristics to Carrapateena.
The discovery hole DD12KMS003 drilled in late 2012 returned 440m @ 0.43% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au from 1005m 2. Since then,
approximately 17 holes have been completed at the prospect.
Some of the significant intersections of note include: DD13KMS008 – 702m @ 0.83% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au from 747m, including 63m
@ 2.75% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au from 777m3 and, DD13KMS012 – 414m @ 1.06% Cu, 0.29 g/t Au from 894m including 126m @ 1.95%
Cu, 0.65 g/t Au from 1055m4.
During 2013, OZ Minerals also received encouraging results from a prospect called Fremantle Doctor located 2km from
Carrapateena. Drill hole DD13FDR005 returned 914m @ 0.44% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au from 920m including 89m @ 1.52% Cu, 1.04 g/t
Au from 1033m 5.
Further exploration at Khamsin, Fremantle Doctor and the ‘Saddle’ between Fremantle Doctor and Carrapateena is planned for
2014. The aim is to establish a maiden resource at Khamsin during the year.
Stuart Shelf tenements
OZ Minerals has recently extended its ground holding around Carrapateena to the north and northwest toward other known
IOCG prospects. OZ Minerals acquired a 2,554km2 tenement package in mid-2013. The tenements are located along strike from
Carrapateena and Khamsin and enhance OZ Minerals’ ground holding in the region.

Revenue
Revenue from sale of concentrates of $644.0 million for the financial year was $341.7 million or 35 percent less than in the
comparative year. As detailed in Table 1, lower revenue in 2013 was mainly due to lower sales volumes ($308.4 million) and, to a
lesser extent, lower A$ prices for copper and gold ($36.5 million). Contained copper metal in concentrate sold was 33 percent
lower than in 2012 and gold was 21 percent lower due to lower contained metal in ore production from Malu Open Pit. The
average Australian dollar to US dollar exchange rate of 0.9674 in 2013 was seven percent lower than the average of 1.0358 in
2012. Therefore, while the US$ prices in 2013 for copper (average of US$3.32 per pound) and gold (average of US$1,410.8 per
ounce) were eight percent and 15 percent lower respectively compared to 2012, the price reduction in A$ terms was much lower
at one percent and nine percent respectively compared to 2012.
Net foreign exchange gains
The significant strengthening of the US dollar by seven percent resulted in net foreign exchange gains of $40.9 million on
US dollar cash and debtor balances during the year.

Total expenditure on direct mining costs increased by $89.8 million in 2013 due to the peak of waste movement operations in
the open pit and the inclusion of a full year of operating costs from the Ankata Underground mine, which commenced full
production in August 2012. The peak of the waste movement program required a larger mining fleet in Malu Open Pit. After
reaching the peak in waste stripping in 2013 and also remediating the overburden slip early in the third quarter, mining
equipment surplus to future requirements was demobilised at the end of the fourth quarter. This reduction of open pit
equipment, with further equipment demobilisation expected in the first half of 2014, is expected to lead to further improvements
in equipment efficiencies and productivities, both of which are expected to contribute to a reduction in total open pit mining
expenditure in 2014. Open pit mining unit costs of $5.69 per tonne in 2013 compared to $5.00 per tonne in 2012. Higher unit
costs in 2013 were due to the truck fleet operating over longer distances from deeper in the mine, excavation of hard basement
material with increased drilling, blasting and equipment wear rates, higher activity levels associated with the waste mining
program and operations impacted by the overburden slip and its remediation.
The Ankata Underground mine operated at design production levels throughout 2013 and produced 1.2Mt of high grade ore at
a cost of $54 per tonne.
Employee costs of $59.3 million in 2013 were in line with 2012, with savings from the reduction in employees during 2013 and a
salary freeze for most employees (but not for those employees covered by the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA)), offset by
employee severance charges of $3.6 million. The full benefit of the reduction in the number of employees is expected to be seen
in costs in 2014 with the salary freeze continuing for most employees not covered by the EBA.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Utilities and fuel costs were higher largely due to higher consumption driven by the increased level of activity, particularly for
diesel and other haulage costs associated with the removal of waste. Unit costs of some energy inputs were reduced during the
year under new contract terms.
Operating consumables costs increased by $16.9 million compared to 2012. Increased mining activity led to the increased use of
explosives and other mining consumables. Unit costs of reagents and processing consumables were largely in line with 2012.
Maintenance and other input costs were in line with 2012, with the plant undergoing routine maintenance shutdowns on a
13 week cycle.
Royalty expense in 2013 of $9.5 million was lower than the prior year as a result of lower revenue in 2013. The introductory
beneficial royalty rate of 1.5 percent which the Prominent Hill mine has utilised due to its new mine status in South Australia will
expire in mid-2014 and will then increase to five percent.
The increase in open pit expenditure was due to the waste movement program, of which $277.6 million was recognised as a
deferred mining asset in the balance sheet. This deferral was driven by the increased waste being mined in 2013 relative to the
tonnes of ore mined. The ore to waste strip ratio for the year of 9.5 resulted in costs of moving 49Mt tonnes of waste to be
deferred in 2013.
Finished goods and ore inventory movement of $25.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2013 was primarily a result of an
increase in concentrate stocks at year end compared to the comparative year. In 2013, concentrate inventory increased by 5,644t
compared to a decrease in 2012 of 6,826t. Total ore inventory decreased in 2013 by 135Kt compared to a decrease of 2,072Kt in
2012.
Depreciation expense of $215.3 million in 2013 was 25 percent higher compared to 2012. The increase is due to higher asset
balance of the deferred stripping asset. The full year depreciation charge on Ankata Underground which had not been in
operation during the first half of 2012 (having commenced full production in August 2012) also contributed to the increased
depreciation charge.
Exploration and evaluation expenses
Exploration and evaluation expense for the year was $74.5 million, which included $41.5 million of pre-feasibility studies and
decline infrastructure costs related to Carrapateena. Exploration drilling around the Prominent Hill region ceased in the middle
of 2012, without the identification of any potentially economic mineralisation, and as such exploration activity at Prominent Hill
during the current year was limited to $3.5 million, which decreased by $40.2 million, a 92 percent reduction compared to 2012.
Exploration expenditure at Carrapateena during the year was $18.9 million compared to $31.2 million in the prior year with
drilling of the Carrapateena Resource completed early in 2013 and exploration focussed mainly on the Khamsin deposit. The
remaining exploration expenditure of $10.6 million relates to other/offshore project generation activities.
Corporate expenses
Corporate activities comprise those in direct support of operating activities and those related to largely corporate activities.
Support activities cover a range of services and costs provided at the corporate level to achieve efficiencies that relate to
Prominent Hill, Carrapateena and exploration activities and include sales and marketing, strategic sourcing, business services,
information technology and insurance. These site support costs, including insurance premiums for policies largely in relation to
mining operations, totalled $22.8 million in 2013. Corporate activities incurred costs of $20.6 million in 2013. Total corporate
costs were reduced by $7.4 million compared to 2012, mainly due to reduction in activity levels and the Company’s ongoing
focus on cost saving initiatives implemented.
Underlying EBITDA of $115.8 million for the year is lower than the underlying EBITDA of $353.9 million for the comparative year
mainly due to the decrease in production and revenue as noted above.
Net financing income
Net financing income for the year was $7.0 million, comprising interest income of $12.4 million earned on cash deposits, which
has decreased by $11.1 million compared to 2012 as result of lower cash holdings during the year. The current year interest
income has been partially offset by bank charges on undrawn debt facilities of $3.6 million, and the unwinding of the net present
value discount on the provision for mine rehabilitation of $1.8 million.
37
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Income tax benefit
Income tax benefit on the underlying loss for the year ended 31 December 2013 year was $33.2 million resulting in an effective
tax benefit of 35 percent. This is higher than the Australian company tax rate of 30 percent, primarily due to Research and
Development tax offset benefit recognised at 31 December 2013 relating to activities at Prominent Hill and Carrapateena.
Write-down of assets
As announced with the 30 June 2013 results, the Consolidated Entity recognised an asset write-down of $231.9 million post-tax
in relation to Prominent Hill property, plant and equipment and gold ore inventories. Further details are provided in Note 7 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements. A number of factors have contributed to this asset write-down, including weakened
outlooks for copper and gold prices in the near term combined with current and future work conducted at Prominent Hill, as
well as the capitalisation of costs for work on the new Malu Underground mine, deferred waste movements and remediation of
the south wall overburden slip in Malu Open Pit.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Operating cash flow for the year ended 31 December 2013 was $179.1 million, which is $165.7 million lower than the prior year
cash flow of $344.8 million. The reduction was mainly driven by:
•
Decrease in receipts from customers of $218.3 million, due to lower
33 percent lower copper volume and 21 percent lower gold volume sold
o
o One percent lower copper and nine percent lower gold price and
Lower interest income generated in the current year due to reduction in cash balance
•
• Offset by decrease of $39.6 million in cash outflow on exploration and evaluation expenditure and:
•
Lower net payments to suppliers and employees of $13.5 million, as a result of:
o Higher deferred stripping charge which has been allocated to investing activities, $86.6 million
o Movement in net trade creditor balances of $69.5 million due to timing of shipments and payments to
suppliers
o Offset by the inclusion of full year mining costs for Ankata which was commissioned in August 2012 and
higher open pit unit costs

Net cash used in investing activities has increased by $42.5 million, to $388.8 million. The current year cash flow mainly consists
of payments for property, plant and equipment of $391.3 million, which consists of:
o Deferred waste stripping costs of $277.6 million
o
Sustaining capital expenditure of $62.4 million associated with development of Ankata which has been at full
production levels for all of 2013
$7.6 million for the purchase and refurbishment of the TBM
o
o Mine development costs of the Malu Underground operation of $38.1 million.
Financing activities
Cash flows relating to financing activities were an outflow of $91.0 million, compared to an outflow of $225.7 million in the
comparative year. The decrease in the outflow is due to the completion of the share buyback of $100.1 million in the prior year.
The current year outflows consist of dividend payments of $91.0 million made during the year, for more details refer to dividend
section below.
39
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Other matters
Dividend
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 a final dividend of $60.7 million in March 2013 relating to profit for the year ended
31 December 2012. In addition, an unfranked dividend of $30.3 million, outside of the Dividend Policy, was paid in
September 2013.
Since the end of the financial year, the Board of Directors has resolved to pay an unfranked dividend of 10 cents per share, to be
paid on 13 March 2014. The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 26 February 2014. The financial impact of this
dividend amounting to $30.3 million has not been recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
31 December 2013 and will be recognised in subsequent Financial Statements. This dividend has been declared to be conduit
foreign income for Australian income tax purposes.
Balance sheet
Net assets and total equity decreased by $458.0 million during the year to $2,327.9 million, mainly due to the asset write-downs
of $231.9 million, dividends of $91 million and the reduced value of $64.9 million of the investment in Sandfire.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2013 of $364.0 million reduced by $295.0 million compared to 2012. The movement
in cash balance was mainly due to dividend payments of $91.0 million, payments for property plant equipment of $391.3 million
including capitalised mining costs, offset by net cash flows from operating activities of $179.1 million.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables of $127.6 million at 31 December 2013 compared to $171.7 million in the prior year. The reduction
of $44.1 million was due to lower trade receivables at 31 December 2013 reflecting timing of shipments to customers.
Inventories
The reduction of the inventories balance of $79.5 million compared to 2012 was a result of an net realisable value write down of
$119.9 million of low grade gold ore stockpiles, offset by an increase in inventories on hand of $40.4 million.
Investments in equity securities
OZ Minerals’ investments in equity securities decreased by $74.2 million compared to 2012. This reduction was reflective of the
equity markets in 2013, particularly in the resources sector. The value of the 19 percent stake in Sandfire reduced from
$258.2 million at 31 December 2012 to $193.3 million at 31 December 2013 due to a reduction in the share price of Sandfire
from $8.63 at the end of 2012 to $6.46 at the end of 2013. Refer Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details on
investments in equity securities.
Finance lease receivable
Finance lease receivable of $50.2 million at 31 December 2013 reduced by $9.4 million following the amortisation of the lease
receivable during the year. The consideration paid to acquire mining equipment recognised as a lease receivable will be
recovered by OZ Minerals progressively over the mining services contract with Thiess through a reduced mining services charge.
Property, plant and equipment
During the year, OZ Minerals recognised an impairment of $225.0 million which offset the additions to property plant and
equipment during the year. The additions to property plant and equipment in 2013 included deferred Malu Open Pit waste
mining costs of $277.6 million, capitalisation of Ankata Underground mining expenditure of $62.4 million, capitalisation of Malu
development costs of $38.1 million and capitalised Carrapateena infrastructure costs of $7.6 million.
Debt facility
OZ Minerals renewed a US$200 million working capital facility in November which has a three year term to 2016. The debt
facility is undrawn.
40
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Outlook for 2014
Existing operations
At Prominent Hill, production guidance for 2014 is higher than 2013 production levels at 75,000 to 80,000 tonnes of copper and
130,000 to 140,000 ounces of gold7.
Copper production for 2014 is expected to be about 15,000 tonnes per quarter in the first half, with the remainder in the second
half. Overall 2014 copper production includes approximately 4,000 tonnes of copper produced from Malu Underground, which is
expected to commence commissioning in late 2014.
The 2014 mine plan and schedule will move open pit mining operations progressively towards the core of Malu Open Pit
orebody. The mined copper grade and ore tonnes mined are expected to increase through 2014 with a progressive reduction in
the mining of lower grade areas.
Combined waste and ore mining in 2014 is expected to be around 62 million tonnes, some 24 million tonnes less than 2013.
With forecast reduction in waste movement through 2014, two excavators and their associated truck fleets will be demobilised
by the end of the first half of 2014. The first excavator, five haul trucks and one production drill rig were demobilised at the end
of December 2013.
This will see lower total expenditure in the pit. However, with lower volumes of material being moved, the cost to move each
tonne of material will increase as the lower tonnes to be mined are apportioned against a portion of the mining costs that are
fixed.
Equipment demobilisation in the pit will progressively continue over the remaining mine life. The strip ratio for 2014 is expected
to be 6-7:1 versus an expected average remaining life of mine strip ratio of 2.3 over 2014 and will result in a lower proportion of
waste tonnes allocated to the income statement.
The overall C1 costs of production for the Prominent Hill operation in 2014 are expected to be within the range of US$1.15 to
US$1.25 per pound of payable copper. This reduction from the C1 cost in 2013 reflects a number of factors including decreased
proportion of waste tonnes allocated to the income statement, and increased copper and gold production.
7 The information that relates production outlook from existing operations is extracted from the report entitled ‘Prominent Hill
Reserves and Resources and Production Outlook’ released to the market on 11 December 2013 (‘PHRR’). The Company confirms
that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the PHRR and that all
material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the PHRR continue to apply and have not
materially changed.
41
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Outlook for 2015 and beyond from existing operations
Copper production from the existing operations, Malu Open Pit and Ankata Underground, for 2015 to 2018 is expected to
exceed 95,000 tonnes per annum based solely on Reserves (i.e. excluding treatment of mined Inferred Resources) 8. Gold
production for the same period, also based only on Reserves, is expected to be in excess of 95,000 ounces per annum, after a
small contribution in 20138. The development of Malu Underground* is expected to ramp up to full production rates through
2015, contributing about 10,000 tonnes of copper in that year, after which it is expected to produce between 10,000 tonnes to
20,000 tonnes per annum of copper and 25,000 ounces to 35,000 ounces of gold once it has reached full mining rates in 2016.
Consequently, development of Malu Underground* is expected to result in combined production from Prominent Hill for 2015
to 2018 of in excess of 105,000 tonnes of copper and in excess of 105,000 ounces of gold in 2015, increasing to in excess of
120,000 ounces of gold from 2016 to 20188.
Based upon the Life of Mine plan, mining in Malu Open Pit is expected to continue until 2018, with stockpiles to be processed
after this. Mining from Ankata Underground is expected to continue until 2022. The Malu Underground* is expected to
contribute production until at least 2024. With the lower volumes of ore mined post the completion of the open pit, plant
throughput will be reduced post 2019 to around 6Mt per annum and batch processing is envisaged after 2022.
*This production target is based on the Company’s current expectations of future results or events and should not be solely
relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. It is based on its current understanding of the Resource. The
Malu Underground Resource is based on Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources. There is a low level of geological
confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the
determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised. The Company has not yet
completed the necessary technical studies to determine an Ore Reserve and the production target should not be misconstrued
as an Ore Reserve. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this
target will be met and an Ore Reserve evaluation is expected to be made in the first half of 2014.
Growth
In December 2013, the Board approved the commissioning of the new Malu Underground mine in 2014. A Reserve for
Malu Underground is anticipated in early 2014, taking into consideration information from the underground drilling program
that started at the beginning of 2013.*
Capital expenditure on the Malu Underground is expected to be $71 million in 2014 with a further $87 million to complete the
project in the following two years. This will take the total construction capital expenditure to $201 million for this phase of the
development of the mine (including expenditure in 2013 but not including potential sales of concentrate made from pre-
production ore).
Work on the Carrapateena pre-feasibility study will continue in 2014 with the focus on cost estimation. In 2014 expenditure of
$33 million is expected for Carrapateena. This includes the cost of completion of the pre-feasibility study, operating the site,
environmental baseline studies and permitting. Any further project costs are subject to the completion of the study.
Exploration at Khamsin, Fremantle Doctor and the ‘Saddle’ between Fremantle Doctor and Carrapateena is planned to continue
in 2014 with expenditure of approximately $15 million. Overseas exploration will continue at three sites located in Chile, Jamaica
and Canada with approximately $7 million in expenditure planned.
The Company will continue to apply its disciplined approach in seeking to identify and purchase value accretive copper assets in
low risk jurisdictions.
8 The information that relates to production outlook from existing operations is extracted from the report entitled ‘Prominent
Hill Reserves and Resources and Production Outlook’ released to the market on 11 December 2013 (‘PHRR’). The Company
confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the PHRR and that
all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the PHRR continue to apply and have not
materially changed.
42
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Cash flow
Overall, cash out flows are expected to be lower year on year and production higher. The Company’s cash position over 2014 is
expected to be approximately neutral. This is subject to a number of variables including production outcomes, commodity prices
and currencies, shipment timing and the payment of any dividends.
Risks
The Company’s annual budget and related production and operation outcomes are subject to a range of assumptions and
expectations all of which contain a level of uncertainty and therefore risk. The Company adopts a risk management framework in
order to identify, analyse, treat and monitor the risks applicable to the group. The risks are formally reported and discussed with
the Company’s Executive Committee on a quarterly basis and with the Board twice a year. Risks are analysed and reported on
using risk registers which are common to all areas of the business and are centrally consolidated.
Detailed below are risks areas that have been identified as at the date of the Directors Report which may affect the Company’s
future operating and financial performance and the Company’s approach to managing them.
Business risks
Single operating asset
The Company currently has a single operation asset, the Prominent Hill mine in South Australia. The Prominent Hill operation
currently provides the Company with the majority of its income. The operation consists of an open pit mine, underground mines,
processing plant and village accommodation facilities. Concentrate is transported using road and rail to the Port of Adelaide.
While development of the underground mines has mitigated previous sole dependence on the open pit, should any of these
elements be subject to failure, the Company’s expected financial result may be significantly impacted.
Execution of the Company’s strategy
The Company has a stated strategy of seeking to identify and purchase value accretive copper assets in low risk jurisdictions.
While the mine life at Prominent Hill has been recently extended, the Carrapateena exploration asset purchased, and the
Company’s balance sheet is debt free with significant liquidity, there is no guarantee that the Carrapateena exploration asset will
be developed or that a value accretive transaction can be procured or implemented. OZ Minerals competes with other entities
for deposits. The continuing expected shortages in copper supplies results in significant competition for assets which meet
OZ Minerals’ strategic goals. OZ Minerals evaluates each opportunity with due care and relies on expert opinion, both internal
and external, where necessary. The primary focus is to ensure that any potential transaction will be value accretive to the
Company’s shareholders.
Operational risks
Increases in costs could result in diminished financial performance
The production and capital costs incurred by OZ Minerals are subject to a variety of factors including and not limited to:
fluctuations in input costs determined by global markets, for example, fuel and tyres; changes in economic conditions which
impact on margins required by contracting partners; and changes in mining assumptions such as ore grades and pit designs.
Significant increases in these or movements in a combination of these elements could have a material adverse effect on the
financial performance of the Company.
Reliance on Contractors
Many aspects of the Prominent Hill operations and the Company’s exploration and development activities are conducted by
contractors. The Company’s operational and financial results are impacted by the performance of these contractors, the input
costs charged, and the associated risks relating to these contractors, many of which are outside the control of the Company.
Geotechnical failure within mining operations areas and Adverse Weather Conditions
The Prominent Hill site operates both open pit and underground mining operations. Both operations remain subject to
geotechnical uncertainty and adverse weather conditions which may manifest in a failure of pit wall or rock falls, mine collapse,
cave-ins or other failures to mine infrastructure and reduced productivity. The depth of the open pit will increase until mining
ceases in 2018 and the commissioning of Malu Underground will result in increased underground mining activities. Geotechnical
failures which impact on either current of future mining zones may result in diminished operational performance and may
require significant investment to remediate the failed areas.
43
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Estimates of reserves and resources
The assessment of reserves and resources involve areas of estimation and judgement. Although the reserve and resource
estimates and mine plans have been carefully prepared by the Company and in some instances independently verified by
independent mining experts or experienced mining operators, these amounts are estimates only and involve matters of
judgment and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of minerals from the reserves will in fact be
realised or that an identified resource will ever qualify as commercially mineable (or viable) deposit that can be economically
exploited. The Company reviews and publishes its reserves and resources annually. The estimation of the Company’s reserves
and resources involves analysis of drilling results, associated geological and geotechnical interpretations, operating cost and
business assumptions and a reliance on commodity price assumptions. The Company’s production plan is based on the
Reserves and Resources at Prominent Hill and changes to the Reserves and Resources caused by changes to underlying
assumptions may impact on the future financial and operational performance of the Company or the economic viability of the
Malu Underground project.
Sales of copper concentrates
OZ Minerals' revenue is derived from the sale of copper concentrates and therefore any disruption to the production,
transportation, export, import or sale of the product will directly impact the revenue and hence the earnings of the Company.
The marketability of the concentrates is dependent on mine supply, smelter demand and quality of the product. Prominent Hill
concentrate has a high copper grade containing gold and silver credits and fluorine and uranium impurities. There is a range of
controls in place at Prominent Hill to minimise the fluorine and uranium impurities to be as low as reasonably achievable.
As mining at Prominent Hill progresses deeper in the pit and underground, the proportion of the uranium in the ore is expected
to increase and there are various alternatives that are being considered to minimise this impact on potential concentrates
sales including ore blending, concentrates blending , (where appropriate, with third party concentrates), and additional flotation
treatment in the existing plant. Other metallurgical options are also being considered in a broader context.
There are regulatory limits for these impurities which vary across different jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, there are limits
tested by assay or physical measure of these and associated impurities, which without exemption can impede the importation of
the concentrate.
It is possible that regulators in various jurisdictions may change these limits, apply a more stringent approach to guidelines and
impose additional requirements/measurements or introduce requirements/measurements not previously applied.
These changes may result in additional requirements related to the ore, tailings or concentrates or result in difficulty in selling,
transporting or importing Prominent Hill concentrates in the various jurisdictions which would affect the Company's financial
performance.
Financial risks
Significant reduction in realised prices for copper, gold or silver production
The prices received for the commodities which the Company sells (copper, gold and silver) are dictated by global commodity
markets over which OZ Minerals has no influence. The Company takes no active steps to hedge or ‘take a view’ on commodity
prices and as such changes in prices will have a direct impact on the Company’s financial performance.
Significant increases in the Australian/US dollar exchange rate
The Company’s functional currency is the Australian dollar which reflects the majority of its cost base. Revenues from
concentrate sales are denominated in US dollars which are then converted to Australian dollars for reporting purposes. The
Company also physically converts US dollars into Australian dollars to meet its cost obligations. The Company does not ‘take a
view’ on the level of the Australian dollar or take active steps to hedge the currency. As such an increase in the Australian dollar
will result in a lower value of Australian dollars upon conversion which will adversely affect the Company’s financial position.
44
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW – CONTINUED
Sustainability and personnel
Injury or harm to people and property while performing work relating to OZ Minerals operations
OZ Minerals undertakes operations in areas which may pose a safety risk, including but not limited to areas such as handling
explosives, underground operations subject to rock fall, confined spaces, areas where heavy and light vehicles interact, manual
handling and operating at on areas at height. The occurrence of significant safety incidents could result in regulatory
investigations or restrictions which may delay production and have a significant negative impact on the morale of the workforce.
Breach of environmental regulations
The Company operates under a range of environmental regulation and guidelines. The cost of this obligation is provided for in
the Company’s accounts. Environmental regulations and health guidelines for certain products and by-products produced or to
be produced are generally becoming more onerous. Increased environmental regulation of the Company’s products and
activities or any changes to the environmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition
and results of operation. The Company is required to close its operations and rehabilitate the land affected by the operation at
the conclusion of mining and processing activities. Although estimates of these costs are reflected as provisions in the financial
statements the actual closure costs may be higher than estimated.
Maintenance of community relations and good title
The Company works closely with local communities affected by mining or exploration activities, particularly the indigenous
communities in South Australia. The Company has compensation agreements in place with those communities affected by
mining activities and these arrangements are revised and updated from time to time.
The Prominent Hill mine is located within the ‘green zone’ of the Woomera Prohibited Area and the Company has entered into a
Deed of Access with the Commonwealth of Australia that governs the terms of access. The Company has controls in place to
ensure compliance with the Deed and relies on good relations with the Australian Defence Department regarding defence
operations in the Woomera region and any potential impact that these operations may have on mining operations.
The Company also relies on maintenance of good title over the authorisations, permits and licences which allow it to operate.
Loss of good title or access due to challenges instituted by issuers of authorisations, permits or licences, such as government
authorities or land owners may result in disrupted operations.

REMUNERATION OVERVIEW
This general overview is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the attached Remuneration Report. Its purpose is to
provide an executive summary 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 KMP’) is largely 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; which will be paid by the Company up to the legislated maximum contribution base for
KMP; 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.
Other than as described below, the remuneration structure and components of the remuneration package of the Managing
Director and Chief Executive Officer (‘MD&CEO’) are largely unchanged from previous years.
In light of market conditions for 2013, the Board made a decision not to grant an increase to Mr Burgess’ 2013 remuneration
from the previous year, other than an increase of approximately $1,300 to reflect the increase required by law to the annual
superannuation guarantee contribution from 1 July 2013 up to the maximum contribution base. Mr Burgess has not received a
remuneration increase since 2011.
Short Term Incentive (‘STI’) Plan and STI Pool
A refinement to the STI Plan was made to ensure that the STI is positioned as a truly variable annual incentive where challenging
performance measures are set with reference to the Company’s corporate objectives, plans and budget. Achievement of target
performance (which is planned or budgeted performance, set at a pre-determined challenging level) produces a 70 percent
outcome; achievement of stretch performance (which is outstanding performance set at a pre-determined stretch level)
produces a 100 percent outcome, and achievement of threshold performance (which is set at a pre-determined minimum level)
produces a 50 percent outcome, with no payment below threshold performance, except at the Board’s discretion.
In addition, unlike previous years, the Board has the discretion, if it considers it would be in the interests of the Company and
the shareholders to exercise this discretion, not to make any of the STI Pool available for allocation amongst the Executive KMP,
or to reduce the amount of the STI Pool that would otherwise be available. This is an overriding condition to the payment of any
STI. The revised STI Pool cannot exceed the aggregate of the maximum value of STI potentially payable to each of the Executive
KMP nor the maximum amount that the KMP would have otherwise received based upon the achievement of his or her
performance conditions.
For 2013 STI Plan, the Board, with the assistance of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, resolved not to make
any of the STI Pool available and, accordingly, not to award any STI to the Executive KMP having regard to the unsatisfactory
operational earnings performance of the Company and current market conditions.
Discretionary Bonus
In recognition of the significant safety performance improvement of the Company as described in the Remuneration Report, the
Board, with the assistance of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, resolved to pay the MD&CEO and other
Executive KMP a cash bonus. This payment is a discretionary payment outside the terms of the STI Plan. The amount of the
discretionary bonus that the MD&CEO will receive is less than the amount that the MD&CEO would have received under the
STI Plan if the STI Pool had been made available, and less than the amount that the MD&CEO would have received for safety
performance under the STI Plan.
Long Term Incentive (‘LTI’) Program
As foreshadowed in last year’s report, only half the normal allocation of LTIs was granted to participants in the program in 2013.
The Board had determined that, for greater transparency and administrative reasons, it would change the normal month in
which LTIs are granted to July rather than December so as to more closely align the timing of the issue of performance rights to
a date after the annual general meeting and that this change is to be implemented in July 2014, with only a fifty percent
allocation of LTI entitlement in 2013.

Remuneration details prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and accounting standards are set out in Table 7 in
the Remuneration Report.
Remuneration Outcomes for Executive KMP received for 2013
Outlined in the unaudited table below are details of the remuneration delivered to the Executive KMP for the financial year 2013.
It includes all fixed and at risk components (if any) to which the Executive KMP have become entitled (i.e. those that have vested
upon satisfaction of relevant performance conditions). It also includes the discretionary bonus which the Board has determined
should be paid to the Executive KMP. This table does not comply with the accounting standards. It has been prepared
specifically to disclose the value of remuneration received by the MD&CEO and the other two Executive KMP (‘Other Executive
KMP’), 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 KMP, calculated in
accordance with the accounting standards and the Corporations Act 2001, refer Table 7 of the Remuneration Report.

REMUNERATION OVERVIEW – CONTINUED
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. 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 KMP 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 2013, as set out in Table 7 in the Remuneration Report.
(b) While the STI for the 2012 financial year was paid during 2013 this amount is not included in the table for 2013 as it relates to the achievement of
performance conditions in respect of the 2012 financial year and was included in the calculation of the STI for 2012. For the 2013 financial year, the
Board exercised its discretion not to make any of the STI Pool available and accordingly the Executive KMP will not receive any STI payment under the
STI Plan.
(c) The Board, with the assistance of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee resolved to make a discretionary bonus to each of the Executive
KMP in recognition of the significant safety performance improvement of the Company for 2013.
(d) 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 2013 and 2012, the amount is nil for those years.
(e) 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.
Developments for 2014
Following consideration of the Company’s current size, complexity and performance, the Board has decided, based on a
recommendation from the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, to reduce fees paid to non-executive directors in
2014. Accordingly the Chairman’s base fee rate has been reduced by $50,000 to $313,285 per annum and the NED Base fee rate
has been reduced by $25,000 to $120,314 per annum.
In light of current market conditions and the desire of the Board to further the Company’s cost cutting initiatives, the Board
resolved not to grant any increase to the fixed annual remuneration of the MD&CEO and the other Executive KMP for 2014. The
Board and Human Resources and Remuneration Committee did not consider it necessary to engage external remuneration
consultants to assist with the determination of remuneration for 2014.
The three STI performance categories for the MD&CEO of operational and financial performance, sustainability performance and
growth performance continue to apply for 2014 but there is a heavier weighting for achievement of targets relating to
Prominent Hill operational and financial performance.

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 performers 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 between the median (P50) and the 75th percentile (P75) 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 KMP remuneration is comprised of fixed remuneration and at-risk incentive based remuneration. At-risk remuneration
is that part of Executive KMP’s and other employees’ remuneration which is tied to achievement of a combination of Company,
site, team and individual performance objectives, for the creation of shareholder value. 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 Human Resources and 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.
51
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?
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 KMP, 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 KMP: 38.5 percent fixed and 61.5 percent at risk.
Fixed remuneration
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 certain 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 for these benefits.
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 KMP’s must be approved by the Board after recommendation by the Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee. The Company seeks to position the fixed remuneration at between the 50th and 75th
percentile or higher for business critical roles of salaries for comparable companies within the mining market and,
where appropriate, the broader general industry market.
STI
What is the STI
Plan?
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.
Why does the
Board consider
an STI Plan is
appropriate?
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 three performance levels - target, stretch and threshold. To achieve target performance an
Executive KMP has to achieve planned or budgeted performance, set at a pre-determined challenging level. To
achieve stretch performance an Executive KMP has to achieve outstanding performance set at a pre-determined
stretch level. To achieve threshold performance an Executive KMP has to achieve performance set at a pre-
determined minimum level. Weightings are applied by the Board to a range of specific performance categories
which are monitored during the year 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 KMP.
52
REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
What are the
performance
conditions?
The performance conditions or 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 2013 comprised:
•
•
•
sustainability performance with a weighting of 25 percent and which was assessed against the
achievement of safety targets (such as a significant reduction in total recordable injury frequency rate,
(‘TRIFR’), actions to reduce the number of high potential incidents, no significant safety or community
incidents nor environmental non-compliances; and improvements in gender diversity particularly the
initiatives taken by the MD&CEO in leading and championing initiatives to increase the number of
females employed at senior levels in the Group;
financial and operational performance with a weighting of 40 percent which was assessed against total
material movement and production volumes for the open pit and underground mine, plant performance
and C1 costs with an adjustment for currency and commodity price movements and activities outside
budgeted activity at the discretion of the Board; and
investment in growth performance with a weighting of 35 percent which was assessed against the
quality of growth opportunities presented to the Board in line with the Company’s strategy, progress on
the Carrapateena project against key milestones and the Carrapateena budget; and progress against the
Prominent Hill mine life extension project.
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.
Yes there is. The availability of the STI Pool is subject to the discretion of the Board and the Board, having regard to
the interests of the Company and shareholders, can choose not to pay, or reduce the amount of the STI otherwise
payable.
The KPIs were set and weighted by the Board to ensure that the MD&CEO’s 2013 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 improving
the Company’s sustainability performance; operational and financial performance; and further progressing the
Company’s growth objectives. Regard is also had to the specific performance of the MD&CEO and his ability to
influence the outcome of the Company’s performance.
The KPIs for each of the Other Executive KMP 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 KMP was 50 percent relating to the
Company’s performance, and 50 percent relating to functional and individual performance.
Is there an
overriding
financial
performance
condition or
other condition?
How were the
performance
conditions
determined?
What is the
value of the STI
opportunity?
For 2013, the STI reward opportunity for the MD&CEO was 70 percent of the total fixed remuneration at ‘target’
level, 100 percent of total fixed remuneration at ‘stretch’ or ‘maximum’ level, and 50 percent of total fixed
remuneration at ‘threshold’ or ‘minimum’ level, with graded payments in between these levels at the Board’s
discretion, and no payment below the minimum level except at the Board’s discretion.
The STI reward opportunity for the Other Executive KMP was 56 percent of total fixed remuneration at ‘target’ level,
80 percent at ‘stretch’ or ‘maximum’ level and 40 percent at ‘threshold’ or ‘minimum’ level, with graded payments
between these levels and no payment below the minimum level except at the Board’s discretion. 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.
53
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 Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee and the Board, particularly in respect of the GC&CS who has a direct reporting line to the
Board as well as the MD&CEO.
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 Human Resources and 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 Total Shareholder Return (‘TSR’) performance.
Why does the
Board consider a
LTIP is
appropriate?
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.
What types of
equity may be
granted under
the LTIP?
Was a grant
made in 2013?
Performance Rights are granted under the OZ Minerals LTIP as further detailed in the table below.
A grant was made on 20 December 2013 to all continuing participants in the LTIP. The number of performance
rights granted to each executive was calculated in accordance with the formula approved by the shareholders at the
2013 Annual General Meeting and by reference to the volume weighted average share price on the five trading
days up to and including the grant date being $2.86 per share. The terms and conditions of the grant are similar to
the previous grants issued since 2009, except that only half the number of performance rights were granted to
participants in the program in 2013. The Board had determined that, for greater transparency and administrative
reasons, it would change the normal month in which LTIs are granted to July rather than December so as to more
closely align the timing of the issue of performance rights to a date after the annual general meeting and that this
change is to be implemented in July 2014, with only a fifty percent allocation of LTI entitlement in 2013.
54
REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
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, as described below.
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.
TSR ranking versus Comparator Group
Percentage of maximum award
Below the 50th percentile
At the 50th percentile
Between the 50th and 75th percentile
0 percent vest
50 percent vest
Between 50 percent and 100 percent vest progressively
by using a straight line interpolation
At or above the 75th percentile
100 percent vest
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.

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, subject to the discretion of the Board, 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 2013) 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
LTIs 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 KMP in 2013
Board Discretion Regarding STI Pool
As specified in Box 2.1, the Board has the absolute discretion to determine the amount of the STI Pool from which STIs are to be
allocated and payable to the Executive KMP irrespective of the level at which the Executive KMP has met the performance
conditions. For 2013, the Board, with the assistance of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee and the support of
the MD&CEO resolved not to make any of the STI Pool available having regard to the unsatisfactory operational earnings
performance of the Company and current market conditions. Accordingly, as shown in Table 4 below, the Executive KMP will not
receive any STI payments under the STI Plan for 2013.

(a) The minimum potential value of the payments was nil. The maximum payment refers to the 12 month period ended 31 December 2013.
(b) The percentage of this payment that was not achieved (and was therefore forfeited) was 100 percent less the percentage shown in this column.
Discretionary Bonus
In recognition of the significant safety performance improvement of the Company for 2013 and to emphasise the importance of
the Company’s safety strategy which is based on the Company’s commitment to achieving Zero Harm by Choice, the Board, with
the assistance of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, resolved to pay the MD&CEO a discretionary bonus of
$100,000 and the GC&CS, and CFO a discretionary bonus of $50,000. These amounts are less than the amounts the
Executive KMP would have received under the STI Plan if the STI Pool had been made available.
OZ Minerals achieved sustained positive improvement in its safety performance with a significant improvement in
Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (‘TRIFR’) per million hours worked to 7.69 (full year 2012:10.46). The Lost Time Injury
Frequency Rate (‘LTIFR’) per million hours worked decreased to 0.96 from 1.46 in 2012. There were no permanent or serious
disabling injuries in 2013 – extending this achievement to 3 consecutive years. A key focus for 2013 was the identification of
incidents with high potential for more serious consequences and significant work was undertaken to develop good disciplines
for recognising when an incident or near miss has the potential to become more serious. In 2013 more detailed communications
were developed for each high potential incident and this information has been shared at safety and management forums.
As the payment is a discretionary unplanned bonus outside the terms of the Remuneration Policy, there is no maximum or
minimum payment and there is no entitlement to, or expectation from, any of the Executive KMP to any future discretionary
bonus of this nature. The grant date for payment was December 11 2013. The payment will be made to the Executive KMP in
March 2014.

(a) The grant made to the Executive KMP for 2013 represented 50 percent of the grants available for the year having regard to the intention of the Board to
grant the 2014 LTIs in July rather than December 2014. The grants made to Executive KMP for 2012 and 2011 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 20 December
2013 is 28 February 2017. Refer to Box 2.2 for the expiry date of all other equity rights described above.
(b) 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 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.
(c) The maximum value of the grants has been estimated based on a 52 week high in the calendar year of the grant. For the 2013 grant this was $7.65 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 2013, 2012, and 2011 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 2017 for the 2013 grant, 28 February 2016 for the 2012 grant, and 28 February 2015 for the 2011
grant.

(a) The amount represents a discretionary bonus which is to be paid in March 2014.
(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 Executive KMP’s remuneration for year ended 31 December 2013 that consisted of Performance Rights was as follows: Terry Burgess 30 percent,
Andrew Coles 29 percent, Francesca Lee 29 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 accrued annual leave 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 KMP 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 build up over a five year period a minimum shareholding of at least the equivalent of one years’ annual
fees in the form of shares.
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 2013 were $1,400,824, which was below the maximum approved amount. The fees that applied
for 2013 are described below. There was no increase to the fees from 2012. The Chairman was paid a flat fee, with no additional
fees for service on Committees.
Following consideration of the Company’s current size, complexity and performance, the Board has decided based on a
recommendation from the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee to reduce fees paid to NEDs in 2014. Accordingly
the Chairman’s base fee rate has been reduced by $50,000 to $313,285 per annum and the NED Base fee rate has been reduced
by $25,000 to $120,314.

In addition to the fees specified above, all directors (including the Chairman) are entitled to superannuation contributions (or
cash in lieu thereof) equal to 9.25 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 2013 at an average bank interest rate of 2.34 percent per annum (3.67 percent in 2012). A retirement
benefit, including the retirement benefit adjustment for 2013 has been accrued for Brian Jamieson of $29,389.
(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.
(c) Mr Lavin resigned on 8 March 2013.

REMUNERATION REPORT – CONTINUED
9. Engagement of Remuneration Consultants
The Board and Human Resources 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 Executive KMP. The Board, with the assistance of the Human Resources and 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 Human Resources and Remuneration Committee:
•
•
•
remuneration consultants are engaged by and report directly to the Board or the Human Resources and 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 KMP 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 Human Resources and Remuneration Committee must be obtained in
certain circumstances where than consultant continues to be engaged to provide remuneration recommendations.
The advice and recommendations of remuneration consultants are used as a guide by the Board and the Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee. Decisions are made by the Board after its own consideration of the issues but having regard to the
advice of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee and the consultants. No remuneration consultants were used in
2013.

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 2013 comprise the Company and its controlled entities and the Consolidated Entity’s interest in associates and
joint arrangements (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
These Consolidated Financial Statements are general purpose Financial Statements which have 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 Financial Statements of the Consolidated Entity complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 12 February 2014.
(c) Basis of preparation of financial information
(i) Functional and presentation currency
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars. Items included in the Financial Statements of
OZ Minerals Limited and each of its controlled entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the controlled entity operates, the ‘functional currency’.
(ii) Historical costs
These Consolidated 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;
derivative financial instruments; and
items of inventory and property, plant and equipment where the historical cost has been written down in accordance
with applicable accounting standard requirements.
(iii) Mandatory standards adopted during the year
The following mandatory accounting standards were required to be adopted by the Consolidated Entity during the year:
•
•
•
•
•
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 determining which investees should be consolidated.
The standard changes the requirements for determining whether an entity is consolidated by revising the definition of
control and adding further guiding principles. The application of AASB 10 did not have any impact on the amounts
recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements which has been issued and is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2013. AASB 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (‘JCEs’) using proportionate
consolidation. Instead JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture under AASB 11 must be accounted for using the
equity method. The application of AASB 11 did not have any impact on the Consolidated Entity’s Financial Statements.
AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities which has been issued and is effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2013. AASB 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in AASB 127
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and AASB 131 Interest in Joint Ventures. These disclosures relate to an
entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. The revised standard requires a
number of additional disclosures in certain circumstances however has no impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial
position or performance.
AASB 13 Fair value measurement, which has been issued and is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2013. AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance under accounting standards for all fair value
measurements. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on
how to measure fair value under AASBs when fair value is required or permitted. The application of AASB 13 did not
have a material impact on the amounts recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements, other than in the
Consolidated Entity’s carrying value assessment. For details refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
AASB Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine and AASB 2011-12 Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation 20. For details refer Note 35 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
74
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
In addition AASB 119, Employee Benefits (2011), AASB 27 Separate Financial Statements (2011), AASB 28 Investments in Associates
and Joint Ventures (2011) and Amendments to AASB 7, Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities were
issued and required to be adopted by the Consolidated Entity. The adoption of these standards did have not a material impact
on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(iv) Early adoption of standards
The Consolidated Entity did not early adopt any accounting standards during the year.
(v)
Issued standards and pronouncements not early adopted
Other than as described below, standards issued and available for early adoption but not applied by the Consolidated Entity or
not available for early adoption which will become mandatory in subsequent years are not expected to have a material impact
on the Financial Statements of the Consolidated Entity.
•
AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel
Disclosure Requirement removes the requirements to include individual key management personnel disclosures in the
Notes to the Financial Statements. The Consolidated Entity will still need to provide these disclosures in the
Remuneration Report under section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. The amendments, which will become
mandatory for the Consolidated Entity’s December 2014 Financial Statements, are not expected to have any impact on
the Financial Statements, other than removal of duplicated disclosures.
(vi) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on critical accounting estimates and judgements.
(d) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Consolidated Entity is capable of exerting control. The Consolidated Entity controls
an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over the entity. Where the Consolidated Entity holds less than a majority of the voting rights,
other relevant factors are considered in assessing whether power over the entity exists. Factors considered include rights arising
from other contractual arrangements, any contractual arrangements with other vote holders as well as the Consolidated Entity’s
voting and potential voting rights.
The Consolidated Entity reassesses whether it controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there has been a change
in one of the factors which indicate control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is assessed to exist
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.
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.
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 received 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.
75
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(iii) Joint arrangements
Joint arrangements are those arrangements over which more than one party including the Consolidated Entity have joint control.
Joint control only exists where decision making about the relevant activities requires consent of all parties who share joint
control of the arrangement.
Joint operations
A joint operation exists where the parties that hold joint control of an arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations to
settle the liabilities. Where material the Consolidated Entity’s share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses have been
incorporated in the Financial Statements under the appropriate headings. In addition any revenue from the sale of the
Consolidated Entity’s share of output arising from a joint operation is also included in the Consolidated Financial Statements
under the appropriate headings.
Joint ventures
A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Consolidated Entity has joint control, whereby the Consolidated Entity holds the
right to the net assets of the arrangement rather than rights to assets and obligations for liabilities. Interests in joint ventures are
accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes transaction costs and any goodwill
arising. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the Consolidated Financial Statements include the Consolidated Entity’s share of
the profit or loss and Other Comprehensive Income relating to the joint arrangement until such time as joint control ceases.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of the joint venture in line with that of the
Consolidated Entity. On loss of joint control any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the retained
investment (if any) and the proceeds from disposal is recognised in the Income Statement.
(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.
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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(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.
(g) Foreign exchange
(i) 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 translated to the
functional currency at the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined.
(ii) 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
77
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
•
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.
(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 a proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure which is directly related to the production
of inventories, 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 stockpiles considers the expected future
ore blend rates, including timing of milling the ore, ore grades and existing market pricing conditions at the time when the
finished goods from which the ore stockpiles are used to produce are sold.
Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Cost includes direct material,
depreciation associated with any recognised deferred stripping assets, mining, processing including depreciation of plant and
equipment, 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.
(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 Consolidated Financial Statements,
and any 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 substantively 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.
(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 are separated on the basis of relative fair values and recognised as a
lease asset or liability.
78
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
Lessee
(i) Finance Leases
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.
(ii) Operating Leases
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.
(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 comprise freehold land, 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
Refer to Note 35 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the accounting policy applied to overburden and
waste removal.
79
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(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 (‘CGU’) 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.
(iii) Earn in arrangements
From time to time the Consolidated Entity enters into arrangements which enable it the opportunity to explore on, and
potentially earn the right to mineralisation if discovered on underlying exploration tenements held by other entities (earn in
arrangements). Expenditure incurred under earn in arrangements is expensed as incurred. Under the agreements OZ Minerals
does not assume any liabilities or hold any rights to other assets that the holder of the tenement may possess, and has no
binding commitment to undertake any activities or expenditure.
(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/or
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
80
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
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.
(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 or CGU carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to dispose and value in use.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or CGU. Non-financial assets other than goodwill
that have been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date.
The asset or CGU 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 dispose 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. A fair value measurement of a
non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its
highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. Any
impairment to the carrying amount of an asset or CGU 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 or CGU of an operation, an appropriate write down is made. No assets or CGU 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 short term employee benefits
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) Other long term employee benefits
Long term employee benefits include annual leave liabilities which are expected to be settled in the period greater than twelve
months from balance date and long service leave liabilities. Other long term benefits are 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 bonds 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 amounts 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.
81
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(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 values of the share-based payment transactions granted are adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but exclude
the impact of any service or non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability or production targets). Non-market vesting
conditions are included in assumptions about the number of instruments 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 values of the share-based payment transactions do not necessarily relate to the actual values that may be received in
future by the recipients. Information relating to these schemes is set out in Note 33 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(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.
82
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
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 the concentrates are
loaded on to the vessel at the port of shipment.
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.
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.
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
Trade and other payables 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.
83
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(u) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are carried at fair value. Provisional payments in relation to trade receivables are usually 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). Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value
and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written down
to the amounts expected to be received. Any adjustment due to collectability 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 when estimating fair value adjustments arising
from assessment of a debtor’s collectability. Any adjustments to the fair value of trade receivables are recognised through profit
or loss.
(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 of the 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 the contract was
to be sold on market as an arm’s length transaction.
(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 capital is returned by the Consolidated Entity to shareholders, the amount of the capital returned is recognised as a
deduction from issued capital.
When share capital is reduced, it is recognised as a deduction to issued capital against retained earnings.
(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.

(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.
Operating segments have been identified based on information provided to the chief operating decision makers, being the
executive management team and the Board of Directors.
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) 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.
(ac) 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.
(ad) 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 Consolidated Financial Statements. Amounts in the
Consolidated Financial Statements 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.
(ae) Comparatives
When required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.

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 dispose and its value in use in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 1(m). Value in use and fair value
less cost to dispose calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions including discount rates, exchange rates,
commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance, as well as the value that a market participant
would place on any resources which have yet to be proven as reserves associated with the CGU. 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 and estimates in relation to future ore blend rates,
processing costs, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, timing of processing and sale and other assumptions. A change in
any of the critical assumptions listed will alter the value as initially determined and will therefore impact the carrying value of
assets in the future. For further detail refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 changes in the carrying value of the assets noted may arise principally through changes in the income that can be
economically generated from each project. Changes in depreciation may arise to due to the value of property, plant and
equipment being depreciated over ore reserves.
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.
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on estimates of future cash flows. These estimates are based
on future production and sales volumes, operating costs, restoration costs, capital expenditure and other capital transactions.
Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to
risk and uncertainty, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised and the amount of other tax
losses and temporary differences not yet recognised.
Functional currency
An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. 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.
86
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
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 Consolidated Financial Statements
requires the exercise of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
Business combinations
The Consolidated Entity holds a number of investments. In accordance with accounting policy Note 1(d) a judgement is required
in assessing whether power over the investee exists where the Consolidated Entity holds less than a majority of the voting rights.
Factors considered include rights arising from other contractual arrangements, any contractual arrangements with other vote
holders as well as the Consolidated Entity’s voting and potential voting rights. The Consolidated Entity reassesses whether it
controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there has been a change in one of the factors which indicate control.
The Consolidated Entity exercised judgement in the application of AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in assessing the
accounting treatment of the Consolidated Entity’s investment in Toro Energy Limited (‘Toro’) which involves determining
whether OZ Minerals is capable of exerting control over Toro despite holding less than fifty percent of voting rights. The
application of AASB 10 did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements as it was
determined that the Consolidated Entity does not hold de-facto control over Toro.

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 activities 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 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), other investments in equity securities (refer Note 14 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements) 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.

The Consolidated Entity recognised asset write-downs of $331.3 million for its Prominent Hill Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU’)
during the year ended 31 December 2013, comprising inventory net realisable value write-down of $106.3million and write down
of property, plant and equipment of $225.0 million.
Inventory net realisable value write-down
Inventory is recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Pursuant to an inventory net realisable value assessment, the Consolidated Entity recognised an inventory write-down of $106.3
million in respect of low grade gold ore stockpiles at 30 June 2013.
Net realisable value was calculated as the estimated future sales price of the concentrate that the Consolidated Entity expects to
realise when the gold ore is processed and sold, less incremental estimated costs to convert the gold ore to concentrate.
Write-down of property, plant and equipment
The Consolidated Entity performs an impairment assessment when there is an indication of possible impairment. A detailed
impairment assessment was performed which was triggered by the fall in the Consolidated Entity’s market capitalisation below
its net assets value.
The impairment write-down was necessitated by a combination of factors, including lower expected prices for copper and gold
in the near term, offset by lower Australian dollar to US dollar exchange rates. In addition, asset carrying values were higher as a
result of the capitalisation of work towards developing the new Malu Underground mine, deferred waste movements in the
Malu open pit, and remediation of the south wall overburden slip in the open pit. Pursuant to the detailed assessment, an
impairment loss of $225.0 million was recognised in relation to the Prominent Hill CGU. The asset write-down was attributable to
the Prominent Hill segment, refer Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for description of Prominent Hill operations.
A breakdown of the allocation of the impairment write-down by asset class is included in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Methodology
Impairment is recognised when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the Prominent
Hill CGU was determined based on its Fair Value less Costs to Dispose (‘FVLCTD’) as this was higher than its Value In Use (‘VIU’).
The accounting standards state that an assets recoverable amount is the higher of its FVLCTD and VIU.
The assessment of FVLCTD was performed using an internal valuation, based on discounted cash flows (‘DCF’) of Board
approved budgets and mine plan, using a real post tax discount rate of nine percent. The nine percent discount rate was
adopted to reflect market conditions which would be applied by a market participant in considering the value of the CGU.
In addition, because the budget and mine plan approved by the Board did not model utilisation of the full existing mineral
resource for the Prominent Hill operations CGU, the FVLCTD assessment included an estimate of the value of this un-modelled
resource, by applying an appropriate resource multiple for the contained copper equivalent within these un-modelled resources
which are associated with the Kalaya and Malu deep zones.
The costs to dispose in respect of the FVLCTD assessment have been estimated by the Consolidated Entity based on prevailing
market conditions.
The FVLCTD assessment does not include any estimate of exploration potential at or near the Prominent Hill CGU.
90
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
The DCF calculation included a number of significant assumptions, including assumptions regarding commodity prices, foreign
exchange rates and risk adjustments to future cash flows. Commodity prices, exchange rates, reserves and resources, and
expectations regarding future operating performance can change significantly over short periods of time, which can have a
significant impact on the valuation. The Consolidated Entity considered information available from industry analysts and
commentators in relation to short and long term commodity prices and forward exchange rates. Estimates of quantities of
recoverable minerals, production levels, operating costs and capital requirements were sourced from the Company’s planning
process documents, including LOM plans, and budgets. The 2014 budget and mine plan were developed in the context of the
current market environment and outlook. Operating and capital costs in the DCF are based on the Consolidated Entity’s latest
Board approved budget and mine plan.
Mineral resources which are not modelled in the Board approved budget (un-modelled resources) have been included in the
assessment of FVLCTD by applying an appropriate resource valuation multiple to the contained copper equivalent within these
resources. This is because observable market inputs such as the implied value per unit of contained copper of comparable sized
projects or companies provides evidence of what market participants have paid for comparable projects. This resource valuation
multiple has been estimated from publicly available information on share trading in comparable ASX listed companies and
recent transactions involving comparable operations. While the un-modelled resources related to the Prominent Hill CGU are
not yet developed, given that the potential for development represents an extension to the existing operations, the
Consolidated Entity has primarily considered publicly available information from comparable exploration and development
companies and transactions and placed less weight on the information from comparable producing companies. The
Consolidated Entity has also obtained appropriate external advice in making this judgement.
The value of unmodelled resources as a percentage of the assessed fair value for the Prominent Hill CGU is 17 percent.
Sensitivity
Any variation in the key assumptions used to determine FVLCTD would result in a change of the assessed FVLCTD. If the
variation in assumption had a negative impact on FVLCTD, it could in the absence of other factors indicate a requirement for
additional impairment to non-current assets.

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 (2012: $191.4 million tax effected) continue to be unrecognised in
the Balance Sheet at 31 December 2013.
Unrestricted tax losses have arisen in the current year. There are no restrictions on the utilisation of these losses which must be
utilised first before any restricted tax losses can be applied to reduce the Consolidated Entity’s tax liability.
Gross capital losses of $1,954 million (2012: $1,935 million) continue to be unrecognised in the Balance Sheet at
31 December 2013.

Sale of assets in Cambodia
On 10 May 2012, OZ Minerals completed the sale of its assets in Cambodia through the sale of OZ Minerals (Cambodia) Limited
to Renaissance Minerals Limited (‘Renaissance’) an Australian company listed on the ASX. A net gain of $18.8 million was
recognised in the comparative year.
Subsequent to the sale, in November 2012 OZ Minerals received shares in Renaissance to the value of $1.5 million. This amount
was deducted from a $5.0 million deferred cash consideration which was receivable twelve months after completion of sale
under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The remaining $3.5 million cash consideration was received in January 2013.
In September 2013, the Consolidated Entity entered into a new agreement with Renaissance to alter the timing of one of the
contingent receipts. The original agreement provided for two contingent receipts. The first receipt of $10.0 million was
contingent on a 1.25 million ounce gold resource being defined in relation to the assets sold or a decision to mine, whichever
was earlier. The second receipt of $12.5 million was contingent on the first gold pour and was payable six months after the first
gold pour. Under the new terms the $10.0 million payment will now only be payable upon Renaissance making a decision to
mine with the trigger being definition of 1.25 million ounce gold resource being removed. In consideration of this new
agreement, OZ Minerals was issued with 15.3 million shares in Renaissance to the value of $0.9 million which was recognised in
the Income Statement during the year.
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 Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
31 December 2013.

The Consolidated Entity accounts for its investment in Toro using the equity method. Toro is a uranium exploration company
listed on the ASX. The Consolidated Entity holds 422,759,378 shares in Toro (31 December 2012: 410,259,378 shares), which
equates to an interest of 28.1 percent at 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: 39.4 percent). During the year, the Consolidated
Entity acquired 12,500,000 shares for $1.0 million.
Toro has entered into a number of transactions since 31 December 2012, including the issue of 415 million fully paid ordinary
shares to Mega Uranium Ltd (‘Mega’), which has resulted in a decrease in the Consolidated Entity’s interest in Toro from
39.4 percent at the beginning of the year to 28.1 percent at year end. The share price of Toro as at 31 December 2013 was
8 cents per share (31 December 2012: 11 cents per share).
The share of losses after income tax of $1.3 million (2012: $2.1 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.
Summarised financial information of Toro
At the date of this report, Toro has yet to complete its Interim Financial Statements as at 31 December 2013 and therefore
summarised financial information on Toro at 31 December 2013 is not included in these Financial Statements. The following
information is based on the Toro Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2013, which are Toro’s latest publicly released

Exploration assets represent acquisition of the Carrapateena copper-gold project in South Australia valued at cost. The terms of
this asset acquisition provide for two further payments by OZ Minerals 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 as OZ Minerals
can control whether the amounts will ever be paid. Therefore the amounts are not required to be recognised in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

In 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 for Thiess to use 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 $50.2 million as at 31 December 2013 comprises $59.6 million from the comparative year, less
$9.4 million (2012: $4.1 million) amortisation of the finance lease receivable during the year.

The reduction in the mine rehabilitation provision of $6.8 million in the current year is related to changes in timing of expected
future cash outflows. In the comparative year, additions of $3.8 million were recognised on the provision which was due to a

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 2013 is nil (2012: nil).
As part of its capital management policy, OZ Minerals completed in the comparative year an on-market buyback program of
$200.0 million which commenced in 2011.

Since the end of the financial year, the Board of Directors has resolved to pay an unfranked dividend of 10 cents per share, to be
paid on 13 March 2014. The record date for entitlement to this dividend is 26 February 2014. The financial impact of this
dividend amounting to $30.3 million has not been recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31
December 2013 and will be recognised in subsequent Financial Statements.

The basic and diluted loss per share of 97.1 cents for the year is calculated as the loss after tax of $294.4 million divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year of 303,310,042.
The basic and diluted earnings per share of 49.5 cents for the comparative year was calculated as the profit after tax of
$152.0 million divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year of 306,850,519.
The performance rights as set out in Note 33 that existed at 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 were not included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive.
26
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 2013 amount to approximately $5.8 million (2012: $13.0 million).

Contingencies
Bank guarantees
OZ Minerals Group Treasury Pty Ltd has 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 deposits which amounted to $34.8 million as at 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: $30.1 million).
Presently, all guarantees are voluntarily cash backed by deposits in order to reduce the bank fees payable, however, should the
need arise all funds can be withdrawn as and when required.
Provision is made in the Balance Sheet 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 controlled entities 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 payment of tax.
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.
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 the Company’s or the Consolidated Entity’s financial position.

Deed of cross guarantee
The Company and all its Australian domiciled subsidiaries listed in Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements are party to
a Deed of Cross Guarantee (‘Deed’).
In January 2012, OZ Minerals Equity ceased to be a party to the Deed. In August 2012, the following entities entered into
Revocation Deeds which became effective in February 2013:
• OZ Minerals Finance Pty Ltd
• OZ Minerals Finance (Holdings) Pty Ltd
• OZ Minerals Golden Grove (Holdings) Pty Ltd and
• OZ Minerals Reliance Exploration Pty Ltd
The effect of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of
any of the subsidiaries under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001. If a winding up occurs under other provisions of
the Act, the Company will only be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not been paid in full. The subsidiaries
have also given similar guarantees in the event that the Company is wound up.
Set out below is the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated

Financial risk management
The Consolidated Entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as:
• Market risk consisting of commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and equity securities
price risk (refer Note 31 (a) below);
•
•
Credit risk (refer Note 31 (b) below); and
Liquidity risk (refer Note 31 (c) below).
This Note presents information about the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and
processes for measuring and managing risk and quantitative disclosures.
Financial risk management is carried out by OZ Minerals’ Group Treasury Function (‘Group Treasury’). Group Treasury identifies,
evaluates and manages financial risks in close co-operation with OZ Minerals’ operating units. The Board approves principles for
overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific risk areas, such as those identified above.
The Consolidated Entity holds the following financial instruments at the reporting date:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
(a) Market risk management
The Consolidated Entity’s activities expose it primarily to financial risks of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency
exchange rates, interest rates and equity securities prices.
(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 13 Fair value
measurement 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
44 percent and as per the London Bullion Market Association (‘LBMA’) for gold and silver was 20 percent and 37 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 LBMA, and all other variables were held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s after tax (loss)/profit
would have increased/(decreased) by $19.0 million (2012: $49.8 million). The application of a five year change in commodity
price reflects the variability management applies in forecast sensitivity analysis.
In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the sensitivity analysis includes the impact of the movement in commodity
prices only on outstanding trade receivables that are subject to commodity price risk at the end of the year, which were
$71.2 million (2012: $159.2 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 percent to 40:60 percent 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
(2012: 5 percent), and all other variables were held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s after tax (loss)/profit from continuing
operations would have increased/(decreased) by $13.2 million (2012: $27.0 million).
107
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED
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 (2012: 5 percent). This percentage change reflects the
variability management applies in forecast sensitivity analysis.
(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 2013 and therefore is not exposed to interest rate risk
on borrowings.
The effective interest rate for each financial asset/liability is provided below:

Balance Sheet as investments in equity securities, as set out in the table below:

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 13 Fair value measurement which is based on quoted share prices.
The carrying value of the investments in equity securities equates to their fair value at 31 December 2013 and 2012.
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 $2.1 million (2012: $2.9 million).
108
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 lease 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

$m

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
risk of default is kept to an acceptably low level.
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 2013 was $644.0 million (2012: $985.7 million). Major customers who
individually accounted for more than 10 percent of total revenue contributed approximately 92 percent of total revenue
(2012: 79 percent). These customers also represent 98 percent of the trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2013
(2012: 100 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.
(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 2013. The

Application of AASB Interpretation 20
AASB Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine and AASB 2011-12 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation 20 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2013. The Consolidated Entity applied these interpretations which are mandatory from 1 January 2013, with
retrospective adjustments from 1 January 2012 as required by the transitional provisions of AASB Interpretation 20.
Previously, the Consolidated Entity deferred production stripping costs where this was considered to be the most appropriate
basis for matching cost against the related economic benefits. The amount of stripping costs deferred was based on the life of
mine average strip ratio calculated by dividing total tonnage of waste expected to be mined over ore extracted for the life of
mine. Production stripping costs incurred in the period were deferred to the extent that the current period actual strip ratio
exceeded the life of the mine average strip ratio. Such deferred costs were then charged to the Income Statement through the
caption ‘consumables and other direct costs’ when the actual strip ratio in any period fell below the life of mine average strip
ratio.
In accordance with AASB Interpretation 20, the Consolidated Entity now capitalises production stripping costs to the extent they
provide access to ore expected to be mined in the future. The deferred mining balance is subsequently amortised on a unit of
production basis over the expected useful life of the component of the ore body that becomes directly accessible as a result of
the production stripping. If the mining costs are not separable between ore and waste mining, costs are allocated on the basis of
the relative volume of waste mined in a period which exceeds the remaining waste to ore stripping ratio at the beginning of the
period applicable to the particular component.
A component is a specific part of the ore body that is made more accessible as a result of the stripping activity. The
Consolidated Entity determines the component(s) of an ore body based on mine plans and regularly reviews those plans for any
changes. Any changes are applied prospectively.
Significant judgement is required to distinguish between the production stripping which relates to the extraction of inventory
and that which relates to the creation of a stripping activity asset. Significant judgement is also exercised in identifying the
component(s) of the ore body in the Prominent Hill open pit which impacts the manner in which deferred stripping costs are
capitalised and depreciated. Consistent with the judgements made at 31 December 2012, expected volumes of ore and waste to
be moved in the open pit continue to be a significant source of judgement.
On transition the Consolidated Entity undertook an assessment of the stripping asset in existence at 1 January 2012 and
determined that the asset could be attributed to future production of ore from the identified components. As a result no
adjustment was made to the stripping asset on transition.
The initial application of AASB Interpretation 20 results in a change in the classification of certain expenses in the Income
Statement as stripping costs were previously recorded as a net adjustment within ‘consumables and other direct costs’. The
application of AASB Interpretation 20 results in a reduction in the amount recognised as ‘consumables and other direct costs’
with a corresponding increase in the amount capitalised to ‘mine, property and development’. The reduction in costs charged to
‘consumables and other direct costs’ is offset by an increase in ‘depreciation and amortisation expenses’ as the stripping activity
asset is amortised on a unit of production basis over the remaining useful life of the component. Due to the timing of
depreciation of additions to the stripping activity asset the costs of inventory are lower with a corresponding increase in the net
value of ‘property, plant and equipment’. Although there is no material impact on the written-down value of the deferred
stripping activity asset, the application also results in a larger gross amount of costs capitalised. In accordance with accounting
standards as this increase relates to the initial recognition of an item of ‘property, plant and equipment’, the amount of cash
flows attributed to investing activities is increased with a corresponding decrease in cash outflows for ‘payments to suppliers’.

We have audited the accompanying Financial Report of OZ Minerals Limited (‘the Company’), which comprises the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2013, 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 control as the Directors
determine is 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.
