Chairman’s Report 

Dear Shareholder,

I am happy to report that Peel Mining Limited made significant advances in the 2012/13 year.

The major achievement was the consolidation of the Mallee Bull project near Cobar in New South Wales as a major 
copper discovery. More than 10,000 metres of diamond drilling at Mallee Bull returned some outstanding results, including 
84 metres @ 4.42% copper, 38 g/t silver and 0.14 g/t gold from 575m and many other very high-grade intersections. 
Copper mineralisation now extends from about 150m below surface to more than 700m below surface.

This programme of drilling followed the execution in July 2012 of a farm-in agreement with CBH Resources Limited, a 
subsidiary of Tokyo-listed Toho Zinc, under which CBH would spend $8.33 million in three stages to earn 50% of the 
Mallee Bull project. In July 2013 CBH elected to proceed with the final stage, which involves spending $3.33 million on 
exploration in the current 12-month period to increase its stake in Mallee Bull to 50%.

It is planned that this current round of exploration will test for further extensions of the Mallee Bull deposit and also test 
other anomalies and prospects nearby. It is anticipated that a maiden resource estimate for Mallee Bull will be completed 
by about the end of the current financial year and that work will have begun to investigate mining scenarios and options. 
Cobar-style deposits are typically deep, pipe-like structures, often occurring as a cluster of lenses, similar to the Glencore-
Xstrata-owned, 140-year-old CSA copper mine at Cobar, which is the richest copper mine in Australia.

During the year, Peel also consolidated its ground holdings around the Mallee Bull tenement, with further pegging and 
the purchase of new tenure giving the Company one of the largest landholdings in the region with more than 3,000km2. 
Your company is now carrying out systematic surveying, mapping and soil sampling over its new 100%-owned tenements 
located near Mallee Bull, working up new targets for further investigation in what your board regards as one of Australia’s 
best exploration addresses. 

We would like to thank our partner CBH/Toho Zinc for their excellent contribution towards achieving our common goal of 
success over the past year and look forward to a long and prosperous cooperative partnership.

During the year, Peel raised significant new capital, predominantly through placements to institutional investors, and at 
30 June 2013 had cash of approximately $6.2 million. In this respect, Peel’s board welcomes Acorn Capital, Playtpus 
Asset Management and the many other retail and professional investors who are reading this report for the first time. 

Accordingly, Peel is now in a strong financial position, able to contribute to funding the advancement of Mallee Bull once 
CBH reach 50% ownership, as well as the systematic exploration of Peel’s 100%-owned tenure. It is anticipated that in 
the coming year, Peel will carefully use shareholder’s capital to explore its Cobar Superbasin Project and also to complete 
further exploration at its Apollo Hill gold project in Western Australia, its high-grade Attunga tungsten project in northern 
New South Wales and its Rise and Shine gold project in New Zealand.

I would like to thank Peel’s Managing Director Mr Rob Tyson and our excellent technical and practical team for a great 
effort during what can only be described as a very successful year. I would also like to thank my fellow non-executive 
director Graham Hardie for his staunch support and enthusiasm during the year and also non-executive director Craig 
McGown, who retired during the year, for his strong input and help.

The past year has been challenging for many investors and companies involved in the resources sector. I can assure you, 
however, that your board does not take your Companies’ successes for granted and intends navigating Peel through 
these trying times to a prosperous and robust future.

I look forward to a successful 2013/14 year.

Yours sincerely

Simon Hadfield

Review of operations

Background
At September 2013, Peel held six key mineral projects comprising granted exploration licences and licences under application.
•  Gilgunnia (EL7461 and ML1361) containing the Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic discovery and the May Day polymetallic 
deposit (located on a 100 hectare mining lease). The tenure also hosts the historic Gilgunnia and 4-Mile goldfields. 
Exploration during the reporting period confirmed Mallee Bull as a major copper discovery; one of the region’s most 
important discoveries in recent times. Drilling results returned from Mallee Bull during the year were amongst some 
of the highest grade copper intersections reported in the world. Mallee Bull bears many similarities to other major 
Cobar-style deposits, including the CSA mine, Australia’s highest grade copper mine. During the year, CBH Resources 
Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Toho Zinc, commenced earning up to 50% of the 
Gilgunnia project through total staged expenditure of $8.33 million. At June 2013, CBH elected to proceed with the 
final stage of earn-in through spending $3.33 million. 

•  Cobar Superbasin Project (CSP) is a package of tenements (ELs and ELAs) covering more than 3,000km2 of 

prospective stratigraphy within the Cobar Superbasin. The tenements are considered prospective for Cobar-style and 
VHMS polymetallic deposits. The package includes EL7519, which abuts EL7461 (Gilgunnia) and was purchased from 
Oz Minerals Ltd, and EL7403 immediately north of Mallee Bull. EL7519 contains several strong magnetic anomalies 
which Peel believes have not been adequately tested. EL7403 contains the Sandy Creek prospect, which Peel 
believes is analogous to Mallee Bull at an early stage of exploration, as well as several other historic copper prospects 
which have received minimal exploration attention. The package also hosts the Mundoe prospect where drilling by 
Peel during the year returned significant base and precious metal values. During the year, Peel commenced a major 
programme of geochemical sampling over prospective areas to assist in prioritisation in advance of drill testing. 
•  Apollo Hill contains two significant gold deposits – Apollo Hill and the Ra Zone – for an inferred resource estimate of 

505,000 oz gold. These deposits exhibit the hallmarks of a major mineralised Archean system, showing extensive and 
intense hydrothermal alteration and deformation. During the year, substantial metallurgical testwork was completed 
examining the characteristics of Apollo Hill ore. This work was undertaken as a pre-cursor to looking at Apollo Hill’s 
potential from a heap-leach gold operation perspective. 

•  Rise and Shine contains multiple workings associated with the Rise and Shine Shear Zone, and the Cromwell Lode in 
the nearby Bendigo Goldfield. The Rise and Shine Shear Zone is considered structurally similar to the Hydes-Macraes 
Shear Zone that hosts the multi-million ounce Macraes gold mine, while the Cromwell lode has produced about 
150,000 oz grading about 10 g/t gold.

•  Ruby Silver contains numerous historic silver and gold mines/workings/prospects including the very high grade Ruby 
and Tulloch silver mines. Hydrothermal mineralisation associated with quartz/carbonate veins containing narrow 
silver-rich (up to 60,000 g/t) massive sulphide pods and shoots. 

•  Attunga contains numerous historic gold, tungsten, molybdenum and copper mines/workings/prospects. Peel has 
outlined a high-grade tungsten-molybdenum resource at the Attunga Tungsten Deposit (1.29 Mt at 0.61% WO3 and 
0.05% Mo), and also identified significant gold mineralisation at the Kensington gold prospect, and gold-copper-
molybdenum mineralisation at the Attunga Copper Mine prospect.

Gilgunnia/Mallee Bull Project
The Gilgunnia/Mallee Bull project, located about 100km south of Cobar in western NSW, contains the Mallee Bull copper-
polymetallic discovery, the May Day polymetallic deposit and the historic Gilgunnia and 4-Mile goldfields. During the year, 
Peel and CBH Resources Limited commenced an agreement, under which CBH Resources has the right to earn up to 
50% of the Gilgunnia project through staged expenditure of $8.33 million. Further information is provided below.

Exploration over the reporting period has focused on the Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic discovery where exploration 
during the reporting period has confirmed Mallee Bull as a major copper discovery; one of the region’s most important 
discoveries in recent times. Mallee Bull was initially recognised in January 2011, when a strong electromagnetic (EM) and 
coincident magnetic anomaly was identified in the 4-Mile Goldfield following an airborne EM survey (VTEM). Investigation 
commenced immediately culminating in the discovery of multiple zones of strong polymetallic (Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn) 
mineralisation including massive sulphides. Further information is provided below.

Mallee Bull Discovery and CBH Resources Farm-in
In late 2010, an airborne electromagnetic geophysical survey (VTEM) was flown over the May Day and 
4-Mile/Butchers Dog areas. Butchers Dog is a discrete, relatively large, 20nT magnetic anomaly located to the immediate 
north of the historic 4-Mile goldfield. In early 2011, interpretation of the data resulted in the recognition of a coincident late 
time conducting anomaly and magnetic high. The Mallee Bull anomaly is proximal to the historic 4-Mile goldfield area, a 
series of surface and underground gold workings located about 10km east of the May Day deposit

Peel completed a ground-based geophysical (fixed-loop TEM) survey which confirmed the existence of a moderate-
strong conductor and in March 2010, a programme of three RC drillholes for a total of 663m targeting the geophysical 
anomaly was completed. This drilling resulted in the discovery of strongly anomalous polymetallic (gold-silver-copper-
lead-zinc) mineralisation in all three drillholes. Accessory sulphide minerals observed included pyrrhotite, pyrite, and 
arsenopyrite. 

Systematic exploration followed and involved several rounds of additional drilling (4 more RC drillholes plus a diamond tail) 
and several downhole geophysical (DHEM) surveys. This work culminated in discovery drillhole 4MRC007 intersecting 
multiple zones of strong copper-dominated polymetallic mineralisation including massive sulphides. In late August 2011, 
Peel announced that drillhole 4MRCDD006 intersected a 10m zone of massive sulphide averaging more than 20% 
combined lead-zinc plus silver-gold, and a 6.65m semi-massive zone averaging better than 3% copper plus silver-gold. 
Mineralisation included chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite.

Mallee Bull is interpreted to be positioned in a favourable geological and structural position, sited on the “nose” of an 
anticline – a suitable high-stress environment, and occurring in a geological sequence of turbidite and volcaniclastic 
sediments interpreted to be age equivalent of the Chesney and Great Cobar Slate Formations found in the immediate 
Cobar region. Mineralisation occurs either as massive sulphide or breccia/stringer styles and occurs within a package of 
brecciated volcaniclastic and turbidite sediments comprising siltstones and mudstones and is interpreted as occurring as 
a shoot-like structure dipping moderately to the west. Drill intercepts in Table 1 are construed as being close to true width.

In September and October 2011, Peel completed further ground-based geophysics including high-resolution magnetics 
and gravity surveys, and additional downhole and fixed loop EM surveys. In February 2012, Peel completed a Phase 1 
follow-up 5,817m RC/diamond drilling programme designed to test along strike and down dip of previously intersected 
mineralisation. Drilling was carried out on an approximate 40m by 40m grid pattern and comprised a series of RC and RC 
pre-collar/diamond tail drillholes.

Most drillholes intersected zones of copper-polymetallic mineralisation comprising intervals of massive sulphide and/or 
stringer mineralisation, including visible chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena with accessory sulphide minerals including 
pyrrhotite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite. See Peel’s 2012 Annual Report for a full list of assay data.

In May 2012, Peel and CBH Resources Limited reached an agreement, under which CBH Resources has the right to 
earn up to 50% of the Gilgunnia project through staged expenditure of $8.33 million. CBH, which is wholly-owned by 
Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Toho Zinc Co. Ltd, is an Australian-based mineral resources company producing zinc, lead 
and silver from the Endeavour Mine north of Cobar and the Rasp mine at Broken Hill. CBH brings a wealth of technical 
expertise and resources to Mallee Bull, particularly with regards to mining and development.

The key terms of the Farm-in Agreement between Peel and CBH are:
•  Agreement covers all of the May Day-Gilgunnia project assets (ML1361 and EL7461) including Mallee Bull copper-

polymetallic discovery.

•  Peel to be responsible for exploration activities (operator).

3

SeCtion 2

•  Stage 1 of the Farm-in sees CBH earn a 15% interest in the project by making a payment of $1 million to Peel 
(received July 2012) as contribution to past expenditure and by contributing $1.5 million to eligible exploration 
expenditure within a 12 month period (completed).

•  Stage 2 of the Farm-in sees CBH (at its election) earn an additional 15% interest in the project (30% total interest) by 

contributing a further $2.5 million to eligible exploration expenditure within a 12 month period (completed).

•  Stage 3 of the Farm-in sees CBH (at its election) earn an additional 20% interest in the project (50% total interest) 
by contributing a further $3.33 million to eligible exploration expenditure within a 12 month period (underway as at 
September 2013).

•  CBH may elect to form a joint venture at the end of any stage and the parties can then elect to contribute on pro-rata 

basis or be diluted according to an industry-standard dilution formula.

Phase 2 Exploration
In July 2012, diamond drilling recommenced at Mallee Bull, as part of Stage 1 of CBH Resources’ $8.3m farm-in. 
This Phase 2 exploration was completed by November 2012 and comprised 4,822m of diamond drilling targeting 
down-dip/plunge mineralisation. Highly encouraging results were returned. The following is summary of the drilling results:

Drillhole MBDD001, drilled at the southern extent of Mallee Bull, returned 5m at 0.85% Cu, 9 g/t Ag, 0.62 g/t Au and 
248 g/t Co from 431m and 3m at 1.07% Cu, 30 g/t Ag, 2.09 g/t Au, and 49 g/t Co from 447m.

Drillhole MBDD002 (80m north of MBDD001) intersected a broad zone of mineralisation with a cumulative intercept of 
72m at 3.51% CuEq* (2.11% Cu, 41 g/t Ag, 1.13 g/t Au, 384 g/t Co) comprising two discrete zones of mineralisation 
– a massive sulphide zone of 41m at 1.71% Cu, 33 g/t Ag, 1.84 g/t Au, 616 g/t Co from 363m and a stringer/breccia 
sulphide zone of 31m at 2.65% Cu, 51 g/t Ag, 0.18 g/t Au, 78 g/t Co from 415m.

Drillhole MBDD003 (140m north of MBDD001) returned a cumulative intercept of 58m at 3.15% CuEq* (2.36% Cu, 
44 g/t Ag, 0.30 g/t Au, 97 g/t Co) comprising four zones of mineralisation – 10m at 1.12% Cu, 47 g/t Ag, 0.95 g/t Au, 
377 g/t Co from 367m; 12m at 1.58% Cu, 39 g/t Ag, 0.14 g/t Au, 39 g/t Co from 386m; 14m at 1.92% Cu, 56 g/t Ag, 
0.30 g/t Au, 37 g/t Co from 409m; and 22m at 3.62% Cu, 38 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 40 g/t Co from 444m.

Drillhole MBDD004 (40m north of MBDD001) returned a thick zone of massive and stringer sulphide mineralisation 
comprising 42m at 1.99% CuEq* (1.01% Cu, 23 g/t Ag, 0.91 g/t Au, 250 g/t Co) from 356m. 

Drillhole MBDD005 (40m north of MDD001) was designed to test down dip of MBDD004 however, swung substantially 
off-section to the south. Several moderate zones of mineralisation were returned comprising – 5m at 1.75% Cu, 31 g/t Ag, 
0.21 g/t Au, 110 g/t Co from 414m and 5m at 1.44% Cu, 68 g/t Ag, 0.34 g/t Au, 46 g/t Co from 421m.

Drillhole MBDD006 (100m north of MBDD001) returned a cumulative intercept of 51m at 2.19% CuEq* (1.45% Cu, 
26 g/t Ag, 0.54 g/t Au, 162 g/t Co) comprising three zones of mineralisation – 7m at 1.09% Cu, 29 g/t Ag, 1.74 g/t Au, 
520 g/t Co from 396m; 13m at 1.91% Cu, 31 g/t Ag, 0.12 g/t Au, 44 g/t Co from 405m; and 31m at 1.90% 1.61% Cu, 
13 g/t Ag, 0.17 g/t Au, 52 g/t Co from 444m.

Drillhole MBDD007 (60m north of MBDD001) designed for downhole EM geophysics and as a platform for wedge drilling 
intersected strong alteration from ~580m below surface with moderate mineralisation returned – 4 m at 26 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t 
Au, 0.98% Pb, 1.58% Zn from 584m; 4m at 75 g/t Ag, 0.91 g/t Au, 1.82% Pb from 617m; and 4m at 1.55% Cu, 10 g/t Ag, 
0.14 g/t Au, 132 g/t Co from 647m.

Drillhole MBDD008 (140m north of MBDD001), designed to test down dip from MBDD003, intersected 35m of semi-
massive-to-massive pyrite-pyrrhotite-galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite sulphide mineralisation from 374m followed by 
several zones of variable pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite stringer/breccia mineralisation from 442m. Significant assays returned 
included 35m at 3.42% Pb, 1.51% Zn, 0.65% Cu, 54 g/t Ag, 1.16 g/t Au, 318 g/t Co from 374m; 8m at 1.23% Cu, 
12 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au) from 461m; 21m at 1.48% Cu, 24 g/t Ag, 0.25 g/t Au) from 479m; and 4m at 3.93 g/t Au from 
504m.

Drillhole MBDD009 (80m north of MBDD002) was designed to test a very strong conductor centred at ~500m below 
surface as defined by downhole EM. MBDD009 intersected a broad zone of variable stringer/breccia chalcopyrite-
pyrrhotite sulphide mineralisation from 533m that assayed 69m at 4.01% CuEq* (3.48% Cu, 34 g/t Ag, 0.14 g/t 
Au) from 533m including a high grade zone of 18m @ 10.69% Cu Eq* (9.35% Cu, 83 g/t Ag, 0.43 g/t Au) from 542m. 
This intercept is the most significant to date and, coupled with the results from other Phase 2 drilling, indicates that 
mineralisation at Mallee Bull is possibly increasing in width and tenor at deeper levels.

The true width of mineralisation intersected in Phase 2 drilling is estimated to be about 55-65% of the downhole intervals, 
except for MBDD007 and MBDD009 where the true-width is estimated to be about 40-45% of the downhole intervals.

Phase 3 Drilling
In February 2013, Phase 3 Exploration (Stage 2 of the Mallee Bull farm-in agreement) commenced. This drilling was 
completed by June 2013 and predominantly targeted down-dip/plunge mineralisation. Further strong results were 
returned. The following is summary of the drilling results:

Drillhole MBDD009W1 was designed to test a large gap in drillhole spacing, intersecting ~60m downdip from drillhole 
MBDD002. MBDD009W1 confirms the continuation of high-grade copper mineralisation between MBDD002 and 
MBDD009. Important mineralisation occurred as a broad zone of stringer/breccia chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite sulphide 
mineralisation returning 53m @ 4.77% CuEq* (4.08% Cu, 42 g/t Ag, 0.22 g/t Au) from 470m. Within the stringer/
breccia zone is an interval of intense chalcopyrite-rich sulphide mineralisation that returned 12m @ 9.13% Cu, 86 g/t Ag, 
0.33 g/t Au (10.46% Cu Eq*) from 472. The true width of the mineralised zones in drillhole MBDD009W1 is interpreted to 
be ~50% of the downhole intercepts.

Drillhole MBDD009W2 was designed to test a strong DHEM response estimated to be centred ~50m to the north, and 
about 570m downhole of drillhole MBDD009. Drillhole MBDD009W2 intersected several zones of mineralisation: a 3m 
zone of semi-massive pyrite-pyrrhotite-dominant sulphide mineralisation returning 0.08% Cu, 18 g/t Ag, 0.85 g/t Au, 257 
ppm Co from 484m; a 24m zone of massive pyrite-pyrrhotite-dominant sulphide mineralisation averaging 0.39% Cu, 
33 g/t Ag, 1.39 g/t Au, and 310 g/t Co from 494m; and a 21m zone of variable chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite stringer/breccia 
mineralisation returning 2.22% Cu, 40 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au from 706m. The true width of the above mineralised zone is 
estimated to be ~40% of the downhole width.

Drillhole MBDD009W2W1, designed to test a strong DHEM conductor, intersected several zones of important 
mineralisation: a zone of pyrite-pyrrhotite-rich massive sulphides returning 11m @ 0.55% Cu, 1.62 g/t Au, 
24 g/t Ag and 124 g/t Co from 496m; a broad zone of variable stringer/breccia sulphide mineralisation returning 
84m @ 4.42% Cu, 38 g/t Ag, 0.14 g/t Au from 575m including a zone of intense chalcopyrite-dominant 
mineralisation returning 26m @ 11.39% Cu, 80 g/t Ag, 0.20 g/t Au from 626m, and a zone of quartz-healed 
breccia with lesser chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation from 666m which included 6m @ 0.7% Cu, 
15 g/t Ag, 0.13 g/t Au from 669m. The zone of mineralisation at 575m represents the highest grade mineralisation 
intercepted at Mallee Bull to date, and is positioned ~60m down dip of mineralisation in MBDD009. The true width of the 
intercepts is estimated at about 35-40% of the downhole intercept.

Drillhole MBDD009W3 was designed to test for a southerly extension to mineralisation at ~500m below surface and 
intersected a 10m zone of strong mineralisation: 10m @ 4.54% Cu, 31 g/t Ag, 0.13 g/t Au from 502m, with the true 
width of the mineralised zone estimated to be ~6m.

Drillholes MBDD011 and MBDD011W1 were drilled from a footwall position and were designed to test a broad strong 
chargeability anomaly located to the east of Mallee Bull and to test for mineralisation at deeper levels within Mallee Bull. 
Drillhole MBDD011 intersected a highly altered and sheared zone interpreted as a possible “feeder” structure. Peel is 
encouraged by the presence of such a zone and notes that Cobar-style deposits typically “pinch and swell” and generally 
occur as clustered and stacked bodies.

A 9 hole RC drilling programme for a total 1,621m was completed within EL7461 in April 2013, testing several newly 
discovered IP anomalies as well as several areas of anomalous geochemistry. Several drillholes returned anomalous 
geochemistry however results were generally not significant. See Table 2 for a summary of Phase 3 drilling results.

Drilling completed to date indicates that high-grade copper-dominant polymetallic sulphide mineralisation at Mallee Bull 
has a strike length of ~120m, comes to within 150m of surface, and now extends to at least 700m below surface and is 
open in multiple directions. At the time of writing, Phase 4 exploration (Stage 3 of the Mallee Bull farm-in agreement) was 
underway with an initial focus on testing for potential additional mineralised bodies in close proximity to Mallee Bull.

Mineralogy/Metallurgy
In late 2013, Peel received the results of a preliminary mineralogical investigation utilising QEMSCAN. Initial 
observations indicate that the gold and silver present in the massive sulphides is primarily occurring as an electrum 
alloy while the copper present in the stringer/breccia zone is primarily occurring as chalcopyrite. The liberation 
characteristics for copper present in the stringer zone are considered encouraging with ~80% of the contained 
copper free or liberated at a grind size 125 microns (P100). At the time of writing, initial metallurgical testwork trials 
were nearing completion.

Butcher’s Dog Magnetic Anomaly
In November 2011, 3D inversion modelling was performed on the total magnetic intensity (TMI) data collected 
during the VTEM survey of the 4-Mile area. As a result, a 3D volume of the anomalous susceptibility was calculated. 
Interpretation of the data shows a large magnetic feature located about 1km north of Mallee Bull. This feature, 
named the Butcher’s Dog prospect, is assumed to be positioned under the axial plane of the 4-Mile anticline, with 
its core (susceptibility 4 x 10-3 SI) interpreted to be 500-1000m below surface. The top of the magnetic source is 
interpreted to be between 300-500m below surface.

In February 2012, Peel completed one deep drillhole targeting Butcher’s Dog. Drillhole BDRCDD001 was drilled as a 
vertical hole to a depth of 680m. No satisfactory explanation for the magnetic anomaly was observed from geological 
logging or downhole geophysics. In late 2013, DHEM survey data collected from Butchers Dog drill hole BDRCDD001 
was re-appraised, and a moderate-to strong offhole anomaly identified. The newly identified DHEM anomaly is thought 
to be located within 200m of the bottom of hole and correlates well with the trend of magnetic anomalism.

Peel believes that there is good potential for the Butchers Dog anomaly to be associated with mineralisation akin to that 
at Mallee Bull; mineralisation associated with Mallee Bull produces both magnetic and electromagnetic anomalism and 
exploration efforts at Mallee Bull have been successfully guided by DHEM surveys. At the time of writing, the identified 
conductor had had its geometry further refined with additional DHEM surveying and a single deep diamond drillhole had 
been completed. Results were pending.

Wirchilleba Station Purchase
In April 2012, Peel secured a 12-month option-to-purchase agreement over portions of Wirchilleba Station, which includes 
the immediate footprint of the Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic discovery. In early 2013, Peel exercised the option to 
purchase the land comprised of Western Lands Lease 3456 (F/I 1339/762952) for a purchase price of $800,000. Peel 
had paid an option fee of $80,000 which was used as a deposit on the purchase, and subsequent to the quarter’s

end settlement of the sale was concluded. This purchase will provide Peel with security of tenure and land access as 
exploration at Mallee Bull progresses.

Information regarding drilling/assaying data
1.  Drilling was completed as RC percussion or HQ or NQ diamond core.
2.  Sample recoveries were considered adequate for all samples.
3.  Drillcore has been logged in detail based on lithology, mineralisation, and alteration.
4.  Samples for analysis were collected by splitting of RC samples or by sawing core in half.
5.  Samples were submitted as 1m or 4m composites for RC sample splits or as 1m or 4m composite half-core intervals.
6.  Samples were analysed at ALS Chemex utilising methods: Au‐AA25 for Au (fire assay); ME‐ICP41, ME-ICP61 or ME 

MS61 for multi-element including Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn; Ag-OG46 for >100 g/t Ag; Cu-OG46 for >1% Cu; Pb-OG46 for >1% 
Pb; and Zn-OG46 for >1% Zn.

7.  Drillhole collars were surveyed by DGPS.
8.  Downhole gyroscopic surveys were run continuously.

*Copper Equivalent Calculation Explanation:
•  The copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, 
summed and expressed in equivalent copper percentage. These results are exploration results only and no allowance is 
made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result, nor metallurgical flowsheet considerations. 

•  The copper equivalent calculation is intended as an indicative value only. No metallurgical testwork has been 

completed to date however it is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the copper equivalent 
calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered.

•  Copper equivalent conversion factors and long-term price assumptions used follow: 

Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = (Cu (ppm) x 0.0075 + Ag (ppm) x 0.96 + Au (ppm) x 50.00 + Co (ppm) x 0.025)/0.0075;

•  Price Assumptions – Cu (US$7,500/t), Ag (US$30/oz), Au (US$1,500/oz), Co (US$25,000/t). 
•  Pb and Zn have not been used in copper equivalent calculation. 

May Day
May Day was discovered in 1898 and was initially developed as an underground copper-lead-silver mine. Exploration in 
the 1970s identified high grade gold-base metal mineralisation to a depth of about 250m below surface. Exploration in 
the late 1980s defined a shallow gold resource, which eventually lead to the development in 1996 of a small-scale mining 
operation comprising an open pit with a heap leach gold circuit.

In the period since acquisition in late 2009 through June 2011, Peel completed multiple phases of exploration involving: 
an initial due diligence site visit inclusive of geological mapping and rock chip sampling; geophysical surveys comprising 
gravity and Induced Polarisation; remodeling of airborne magnetic data; laser scanning and survey pick-up of the open pit 
and historic drillholes; an RC drilling programme; early-warning metallurgical testwork; and a helicopter-borne geophysical 
survey (VTEM).

Several geophysical surveys were also completed in advance of drilling and to provide additional geological information 
about the local geological environment. An approximately 12km2 gravity survey and a 15 line kilometre Induced 
Polarisation (IP) survey was undertaken over the immediate May Day mine environment and 2 kilometres along strike 
to the northeast. This data, along with regional airborne magnetic data shows that a moderate-to-strong chargeable IP 
anomaly and a deep (greater than 400m depth) magnetic anomaly is associated with the May Day deposit.

In May 2010, Peel completed a programme of 10 RC drillholes for 1,877m of drilling at the May Day gold-base metal deposit, 
located about 100km south of Cobar in central-western New South Wales. This drilling programme was primarily designed to 
test for down-dip extensions to known mineralisation. Better drill results included the following intercepts: 
•  16m at 1.78 g/t Au, 42 g/t Ag, 0.25% Cu, 0.95% Pb, 1.33% Zn from 159m in MDRC002
•  24m at 0.96 g/t Au, 20 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu, 0.70% Pb, 0.85% Zn from 120m in MDRC004
•  27m at 2.12 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag, 0.11% Cu, 0.43% Pb, 0.75% Zn from 120m in MDRC005
•  3m at 1.33 g/t Au, 98 g/t Ag, 0.92% Cu, 7.29% Pb, 8.19% Zn from 140m in MDRC006
•  10m at 2.15 g/t Au, 28 g/t Ag, 0.06% Cu, 0.34% Pb, 0.39% Zn from 213m in MDRC010

Results returned confirm down dip extensions and that mineralisation is shear-related and occurs as a sub-vertical 
lense/shoot. Mineralisation occurs at or near the interbedded contact of a fine-grained sedimentary hangingwall and 
a porphyritic volcanic footwall, is associated with silica/talc alteration, and includes disseminated through to massive 
sphalerite-galena-pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite sulphides. The true width is estimated to be about 65% of the reported 
intercepted widths. 

10

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Review of operations
SeCtion 2

Drill results support the theory that the May Day deposit possibly represents remobilised mineralisation or “leakage” from 
a deeper mineralised system. Interpretation of magnetic data indicates the source of a magnetic high anomaly to be 
located at greater than 400m below surface.

Early-warning metallurgical testwork on a single sample of May Day mineralisation to determine potential extraction 
characteristics returned excellent results, key findings of this testwork being: 
•  encouraging grind characteristics were observed;
•  gravity gold extraction yielded 45% of gold reporting to 0.6% mass;
• 
•  24 hour cyanidation yielded 71% of gold reporting to 2% of mass.

flotation extraction yielded 77% of gold, 88% of zinc, 52% of lead, and 46% of copper reporting to 13% mass; and 

Late in 2010, Peel completed a helicopter-borne geophysical survey (VTEM) over the May Day area. No anomalies were 
detected.

Developments at the nearby Mallee Bull prospect add significant value to the Gilgunnia project and support the 
prospectivity of the May Day deposit. Further work at May Day will involve a deep drilling programme targeting the 
magnetic anomaly at depth.

Cobar Superbasin Project (CSP)
During the year, Peel considerably strengthened its strategic position within the Cobar Superbasin by pegging and 
acquiring additional highly-prospective tenure. In total, Peel now 100%-controls an area in excess of 3,000km2, one of the 
largest landholdings in the Cobar Superbasin.

Figure 5 – Peel Mining CoBar suPerBasin tenure

During 2013, Peel commenced a programme of systematic exploration of its 100%-owned tenure. This work involves the 
identification and work-up of targets through desktop review, geochemical and geophysical surveys, geological mapping 
and drill testing, where warranted. 

11

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Review of operations

Early in the year, Peel completed a 350 line kilometre “HeliTEM” airborne EM survey covering a portion of EL7519 
“Gilgunnia South”, part of the ground acquired from Oz Exploration Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Oz Minerals Ltd (ASX: OZL). 
Gilgunnia South contains several very strong magnetic anomalies (MD1 and MD3) that remain unexplained. Several 
anomalies were identified and follow-up exploration involving geochemical sampling was underway at the time of 
reporting.

Figure 6 – gilgunnia south geoCheM Points over tMi

In the December quarter 2013, Peel reported that EL7976 “Mundoe” had been granted. Mundoe is located about 90km 
west of Condobolin in NSW, or about 50km south of Mallee Bull.

EL7976 is centred on the Mundoe prospect, which is defined by a 2km long multi-element geochemical anomaly, 
coincident geophysical anomalies, and encouraging historic drill results. Mundoe was first identified in the 1970s as a 
“bulls-eye” magnetic anomaly. Follow-up exploration in early 1980s included geological mapping, RAB drilling, IP and 
gravity geophysical surveys, and a single diamond drillhole where a best result of 3m @ 2.90% Zn, 0.87% Pb, 30 g/t Ag 
and 0.4 g/t Au from 88m was returned.

In December 2012, a 9-hole for 1,753m RC drilling programme at Mundoe was completed with encouraging results 
returned over 600m strike indicating that the sediment-hosted mineralisation is most likely easterly-dipping, meaning that 
downhole widths are close to true widths. Peel is highly encouraged by the results to date and further work is planned.

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Review of operations
SeCtion 2

In late 2013, Peel reached agreement with private party Weddarla Pty Ltd to purchase strategic exploration licence 
EL7403 “Sandy Creek”, located about 20km north of the Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic deposit, and about 80km south 
of Cobar NSW. A review of exploration data related to the namesake Sandy Creek prospect was completed and there 
are strong similarities to results yielded from early-stage exploration at Mallee Bull, including a similar geological and 
structural environment along with coincident magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies. Historically, a strong downhole 
electromagnetic (DHEM) anomaly has also been identified at the Sandy Creek prospect, as well as strong geochemical 
anomalism supported by high-grade polymetallic historic drilling results.

Subsequent to end of the reporting period, the acquisition of Sandy Creek was finalised. Initial exploration of Sandy Creek 
by Peel utilising a high-powered DHEM survey confirmed the presence of a strong offhole anomaly that remained practically 
untested by previous drilling. Peel has recently completed a diamond drillhole testing this anomaly and results are pending.

Elsewhere in the Cobar Superbasin Project, Peel has identified multiple new prospects for follow-up investigation. At the 
time of reporting exploration of these targets is ongoing. 

Apollo Hill 
The Apollo Hill gold project, located about 50km southeast of Leonora, WA, contains two significant gold deposits; Apollo 
Hill and the Ra Zone. In June 2010, entered into an option agreement with Hampton Hill Mining NL (ASX:HHM) to acquire 
the entire issued capital of Apollo Mining Pty Ltd, the 100%-owner of the Apollo Hill gold project in the North Eastern 
Goldfields of WA. In November 2010, Peel elected to exercise its option to acquire Apollo Hill. The key terms of the sale 
agreement saw Peel issue 11 million fully paid ordinary shares to HHM in consideration for Apollo Hill, and HHM granted a 
5% gross overriding royalty on Apollo Hill gold production exceeding 1 million ounces.

The Apollo Hill gold project exhibits the hallmarks of a major mineralised system, showing extensive and intense 
hydrothermal alteration and deformation. Two significant gold deposits, Apollo Hill and the Ra deposit, have been 
identified to date and remain open in several 
directions.

Fimiston Mining Limited discovered Apollo 
Hill in December 1986 during a drill program 
aimed at finding the source of abundant 
eluvial gold at the base of a prominent hill 
in the area. Active drilling since then has 
outlined extensive gold mineralisation and 
alteration over a one kilometre strike length, 
which is up to 250m wide and dips 45-60 
degrees to the east.

Multiple gold mineralisation events are 
interpreted to have occurred at Apollo Hill 
during a complex deformational history. 
Gold mineralisation is accompanied by 
quartz veins and carbonate-pyrite alteration 
associated with a mafic-felsic contact.

The Apollo Hill gold project straddles a 
major shear zone, known as the Apollo 
shear zone, which is a component of the 
Keith Kilkenny Fault system. This shear zone 
is largely concealed beneath transported 
overburden, often associated with the Lake 
Raeside drainage system, and previous 
surface geochemical sampling and shallow 
RAB drilling has consequently been of limited 
effectiveness. Deeper drilling by previous 
explorers has largely focussed on the only 
locality where this shear zone is exposed 
at surface, Apollo Hill itself, and also on a 
nearby parallel trend termed the Western 
trend (Ra deposit).

Peel undertook various due diligence work programs on Apollo Hill during the option period. As part of this, in September 
2010, Peel undertook an Aboriginal Heritage and work program clearance survey utilising the services of consulting 
anthropologist Daniel de Gand and Wongatha Aboriginal Heritage Consultants, the outcome, of which was positive with 
large areas of the project area cleared for future exploration access.

Also as part of due diligence, Peel undertook preliminary metallurgical testwork on two representative samples of Apollo 
Hill mineralisation to determine potential extraction characteristics. This testwork showed excellent overall gold extraction 
kinetics with 98.68% and 98.76% total gold extracted for Sample 1 (15-16m – AD002) and Sample 2 (154-155m – AD002), 
respectively. Additionally, both samples contained a significant amount of gravity recoverable gold, greater than 80%, 
with relatively low base metal levels and organic carbon levels below detectable level indicating very little chance of preg-
robbing occurring during cyanidation.

In December 2010, Peel reported a maiden resource estimate for the Apollo Hill and Ra deposits. The highlights of this 
work were:
•  Maiden resource at Apollo Hill and Ra deposits estimated at 11.1 Mt at 1.0 g/t Au for 341,000 ounces of gold (using 

0.5 g/t gold cut off).

•  Maximum depth of the resource estimate was 150m below surface.
•  Apollo Hill deposit extends to surface and remains unexploited.
•  Mineralisation at Apollo Hill and Ra deposits remains open at depth and along strike to the south of both deposits.
•  Potential increase in resources with minimal further drilling.

In line with the potential to increase resources at Apollo Hill through minimal further drilling, in April 2011, Peel commenced 
a programme of infill and extensional drilling. By June 2011, Peel had completed an approximately 3,600 metre RC and 
diamond drilling programme that was designed to increase sample density to allow for the extension of the Apollo Hill 
resource model; and to provide representative gold-mineralised material for additional metallurgical testwork.

The RC drilling component comprised 21 drillholes for 3,276 metres of drilling. This drilling was designed primarily to 
enable the extension of the existing Apollo Hill resource model a further 200 metres (grid) south, and to a minimum depth 
of about 150 metres below surface. The diamond drilling component comprised 2 drillholes for 310 metres of HQ diamond 
core drilling. This drilling was designed primarily to provide sufficient material for further metallurgical testwork.

In September 2011, Peel reported a 48 per cent increase in the resource estimate for Apollo Hill, to 505,000 ounces 
contained gold. The updated resource estimate – which was estimated by Hellman and Schofield Pty Ltd (H&S) and 
incorporated the results of drilling undertaken by Peel – totals 17.2 million tonnes at 0.9 g/t Au for 505,000oz of gold (using 
a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off) across the Apollo Hill and Ra deposits.

The updated resource estimate highlights the potential of the Apollo Hill Project for future economic extraction. The 
updated resource estimate at a range of gold cut-off grades is shown below:

Peel Mining believes that the shallow and extensive nature of mineralisation at the Apollo Hill gold project suggests that 
the project has reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.

Metallurgical Testwork 
Metallurgical testwork on Apollo Hill mineralisation was undertaken during financial year 2012. Results confirm that Apollo 
Hill gold mineralisation is readily amenable to gravity gold and cyanide leaching recovery techniques. The key outcomes 
from this testwork to date are:

Head Assay Characteristics
•  Assays indicate clean, coarse-grained gold mineralisation with variable assay repeatability.

15

16

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Review of operations
SeCtion 2

Comminution Characteristics 

•  SMC testwork indicates hard to very-hard rock strength of larger particle sizes (DWI average of 11.3 kWh/m3); HPGR 

should be considered.

•  Bond Ball Mill Work Index indicates medium hardness of smaller particle sizes (BWI average of 14.3 kWh/t).
•  Bond Abrasion Index indicates low abrasiveness of ore (BAI of 0.055 Ai); low steel ball consumption and low wear on 

crushing and grinding equipment, pipework, etc. 

Gold Extraction Characteristics
•  Excellent gravity gold extraction with 88% recovery at 75 µm; 68% recovery at 500 µm.
•  Excellent gravity plus cyanide leach gold extraction (48hrs) with 99% recovery at 75 µm; 96% recovery at 500 µm; 

moderate cyanide consumption, low lime consumption.

•  Moderate to good cyanide leach gold extraction at coarse grind/fine crush sizes: 86% at 2mm; 72% at 4mm; 73% at 

6mm; moderate cyanide consumption, low lime consumption.

2012/13 Activities
In 2012, Peel acquired mining licence M39/296 from Birimian Gold Limited. M39/296 is immediately along strike 
(southeast) from the Apollo Hill resource and is considered to have good potential to host additional gold resources. 
During 2012, Peel completed a field reconnaissance trip to Apollo Hill with a focus on mining licence M39/296 and 
regional exploration. A number of prospects were identified for follow-up and a substantial geochemical survey has now 
been planned. 

In 2013, Peel completed an additional aboriginal heritage survey to clear areas identified for follow-up exploration. Also 
during 2013, a programme of work was submitted for the Apollo Hill licences E39/1198 and M39/296 and subsequently 
approved by the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum. The programme of work is for up to 24 Aircore/RC holes and is 
designed to test for mineralised extensions to the main mineralised zone at Apollo Hill. Drilling is planned to commence in 
October 2013.

Rise and Shine
In November 2011, Peel was awarded EP 53088 and EP 53111 covering the Rise & Shine gold project. The Rise & Shine 
gold project, located about 20km northeast of Cromwell in Central Otago, New Zealand, hosts multiple historic gold 

workings with historic production 
estimated at more than 180,000 
ounces gold.

EP 53111 was the subject of a 
competitive permit allocation 
process (NAA) initiated in late 2010 
and encompasses the Rise & 
Shine Shear Zone and the historic 
Bendigo goldfield, whilst EP 53088 
provides a regional exploration 
buffer surrounding EP 53111. Gold 
mineralisation is known to be 
associated within the Rise & Shine 
Shear Zone, with multiple lode and 
alluvial gold workings occurring 
over a strike length of at least 
4km. The historic Bendigo “reefs” 
comprise a series of sub-vertical 
lodes with workings up to 130m 
below surface.

The Rise & Shine Shear Zone appears to be structurally similar to the Macraes Shear Zone, host to the multi-million 
ounce Macraes gold mine. The Rise & Shine Shear Zone represents a gold mineralised low-angle deformation zone 
formed in a compressional environment and comprises a zone of hydrothermally altered schist. Alteration comprises 
variable silicification, sericitisation, chloritisation and widespread carbonate alteration. The shear is about 50m thick and is 
traceable for at least 7km, strikes 140 degrees, and dips to the northeast.

Substantial amounts of exploration have previously been completed at Rise & Shine however the majority of work has 
been directed at historic workings sited at the base of the Rise & Shine Creek Valley. Peel believes that the Rise & Shine 

17

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Review of operations
SeCtion 2

Shear Zone could possibly be “flatter” than previously assumed offering potential for large-tonnage, low-grade grade gold 
deposits extending up-dip from previously defined mineralisation. To that end, Peel plans to complete a programme of RC 
drilling aimed at testing this model.

The Rise and Shine Shear Zone contains three prospects: Alluvials; Rise and Shine mine; and Come in Time mine. 
These are inferred to represent mineralised “shoots” possibly similar to the shoots at the Macraes goldfield. Potential 
mineralisation in the permit area comprises the possible up-dip extension of the Rise and Shine Shear Zone, along with 
potential for higher grade lenses of mineralisation down plunge within the shoots, similar to the higher grade lenses within 
the Macraes Shear Zone.

The bulk of the hard rock gold production came from the Bendigo goldfield. The Bendigo reefs comprise sub vertical 
lodes in psammitic or semi-psammitic schist. The geological relationship of the Bendigo Reefs to the Rise and Shine 
Shear Zone is uncertain. These lodes comprise a swarm of E-trending, narrow, vertical to sub-vertical shears composed 
of crushed schist, quartz veins, stringers, and puggy clay. 

The reefs at the Bendigo Goldfield were mined from 1865 to 1913 and sporadically through to 1942. Historic gold 
production was at least 180,000 oz, of which about 150,000 oz was produced from the Cromwell Lode. The Cromwell 
Lode was mined over a strike of 400m, and is reported to have been traced for another 1200m to the east. Thickness 
ranged from 0.6 – 1.8m, averaging 0.9m with an average grade of about 10 g/t gold. BHP concluded that a deep diamond 
drilling programme was required to assess gold potential beneath the worked lodes. Minimal modern exploration has 
been completed.

No field work was undertaken during the reporting period whilst Peel focussed on its Mallee Bull and Cobar Superbasin 
projects. Exploration planning for Rise and Shine is largely complete and, subject to access and regulatory approval, is 
planned for early 2014.

Attunga 
Attunga is located about 20km north of Tamworth, NSW. Within the Attunga project, there are three specific areas of 
interest: the Attunga Tungsten Deposit; the Attunga Copper Mine prospect and the Kensington gold-tungsten prospect. 
The Attunga Project area is considered prospective for tungsten-molybdenum skarn-type mineralisation, base/precious 
metal skarn-type mineralisation, and gold (+/-tungsten) intrusive-related gold system type mineralisation.

Attunga Tungsten Deposit
During the period 2007-2009, Peel completed multiple phases of exploration at the Attunga Tungsten Deposit including 
the completion of an independent JORC-compliant resource estimation in April 2008. A high-grade inferred tungsten-
molybdenum resource was defined with results including 1.29 Mt at 0.61% WO3 and 0.05% Mo for 9,400t contained WO3 
equivalent using a 0.2% WO3 equivalent cutoff.

In March 2009, Peel completed initial metallurgical testwork resulting in the production of high grade WO3 concentrate 
along with a potential process flowsheet. The potential process flow sheet identified would involve staged crushing and 
grinding, conventional gravity concentration (spirals), drying of gravity concentrates, removal of magnetic gangue material 
(garnet) via magnetic circuit, and flotation of fine (-75 micron) spiral tails. Secondary processing/mineral dressing would 
involve further flotation work.

In June 2009, Peel announced that new drilling at Attunga had returned high grade tungsten intercepts including 27m at 
0.54% WO3 and 0.06% Mo from 19m (including 2m at 3.38% WO3 and 0.27% Mo) from 22m in RC drillhole AP1-026, and 
2m at 0.59% WO3 and 0.03% Mo from 58m in RC drillhole AP1-027.

In 2010, Peel completed an in-house conceptual study into development options for the Attunga Tungsten Deposit with 
results indicating that a low capital expenditure operation could yield positive returns. Peel believes that the deposit’s 
small, high grade nature and proximity to excellent infrastructure and services bodes well for its future advancement/
potential development.

In late 2012, Peel commenced a review of the Attunga Tungsten Deposit with a view to advancing the project.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, in August 2013 Peel completed a single diamond drillhole at Attunga for 
metallurgical purposes. Results for this hole remained pending. Peel notes that the price of tungsten concentrates and 
tungsten products is close to historic highs, and accordingly is seeking interest to advance the Attunga Project. 

Attunga Copper Mine
The Attunga Copper Mine, located about 800m north of the Attunga Tungsten Deposit was discovered in 1902 and 
worked over various periods up until World War 2. Total recorded production was about 1,600t ore grading ~6% copper, 
~8 g/t gold and ~150 g/t silver. Other significant metals present include bismuth, and molybdenum.

18

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Review of operations
SeCtion 2

In May 2009, Peel completed a drilling programme targeting the historic Attunga Copper Mine workings and an EM 
anomaly. While thick clays prevented the effective testing of the EM anomaly, drilling to the south of the historic workings 
resulted in the discovery of polymetallic mineralisation. Drillhole ACM-004 returned 75m at 1.02 g/t Au, 0.87% Cu, 0.09% 
Mo, 0.06% Bi, and 22 g/t Ag from 136m including 27m at 1.60 g/t Au, 1.66% Cu, 0.18% Mo, 0.1% Bi, and 39 g/t Ag from 
136m. The true width of the above intervals is construed to be approximately 25% of the downhole intercepts.

Between March and May 2010, Peel completed a programme of six diamond drillholes for 944m drilling that returned 
encouraging mineralisation up-dip of ACM-004 with an interval of 5.6m at 0.44% Mo, 0.70 g/t Au, 12 g/t Ag, 0.45% Cu, 
1.9 g/t Re from 48m and 1.4m at 22.70 g/t Au, 13 g/t Ag, 0.72% Cu from 55m.

The results from the Attunga Copper Mine confirm the presence of significant molybdenum-gold-copper skarn 
mineralisation that remains open in several directions and provides encouragement that the Attunga skarn deposits are 
possibly part of a larger metalliferous system, perhaps including a porphyry/mineralised granite source.

No further work was completed at the Attunga Copper Mine in 2012 or 2013.

Kensington gold prospect
The Kensington gold prospect, located about 5km north of the Attunga Tungsten Deposit, comprises a series of historic 
gold workings (pre-WW1) across 800m strike with mineralisation outcropping, and covered by a 1,500m long, +100 ppb 
gold geochemical anomaly, open in several directions.

In July 2008, Peel completed an RC drilling programme encountering widespread gold mineralisation with better results 
including 9m at 1.4 g/t Au from 15m, 5m at 2.76 g/t Au from 60m, 14m at 0.78 g/t Au from 24m and 13m at 1.07 g/t Au.

In July 2010, Peel completed a RAB drilling programme at Kensington and Kensingto NW designed to test a reported 
shallow tungsten occurrence and to test for additional near-surface gold. Encouraging gold mineralisation was returned 
from multiple drillholes.

Peel designed the shallow RAB drilling programme at Kensington to target tungsten and gold mineralisation. Historic data 
had indicated the presence of a large, shallow, low grade tungsten occurrence however drilling completed to date has 
discounted this possibility.

The results from this RAB drilling provide encouragement to the possibility of substantial, near surface, gold mineralisation 
at Kensington. Gold mineralisation at Kensington occurs within a package of structurally deformed sediments and remains 
open to the northwest and southeast, and down dip.

Peel believes that Kensington holds good potential to host a significant gold system with mineralisation remaining open.

No work was completed during 2012 or 2013.

Ruby Silver
In 2011, Peel was granted an exploration licence covering the historic Ruby-Tulloch-Rockvale silverfield. Peel has since 
been granted an additional licence adjacent to the Ruby silver project. Ruby Silver is located approximately 30km east of 
Armidale in north-eastern New South Wales.

The Ruby Silver project encompasses much of the central part of the Rockvale Adamellite which hosts silver-gold-arsenic 
mineralisation both at its margin and within the intrusion on northeast/northwest fracture zones, possibly associated with aplite 
dykes. Major known deposits are the Ruby and Tulloch silver mines and the Rockvale arsenic mine. There are, however, many 
other underexplored prospects and anomalies within the project, adding to its prospectivity for silver and gold.

The Ruby silver mine, associated with an outcropping aplite dyke, has a lode up to 1.4 metres wide and was worked to 
a depth of 120 metres between 1895 and 1905. Historic production is estimated to be about 350,000 ounces silver at a 
recovered grade of ~600 g/t Ag.

In 1968, a nine-hole diamond drill program was undertaken to test the main workings at Ruby. Records of this work are poor, 
but it is known that the first hole intersected 5.08 metres at a grade of ~6,700 g/t Ag from 90.5 metres downhole. True width 
was estimated at about 3 metres. Three of the other drillholes intersected old workings, while values in a further three were 
reported only as “low”. No results were recorded for the other two drillholes. No further drilling has been completed at Ruby.

Results from an historic IP geophysics survey completed in 1969 suggest that sulphide mineralisation possibly extends 
well beyond the known silver-rich shoot at Ruby, and presents future exploration targets.

At the Tulloch mine, mined between 1913 and 1928, an estimated 50,000 ounces silver at a recovered grade of ~6,200 g/t 
Ag have been won. The silver mineralisation is developed in fissures associated with three obliquely intersecting sets of 
shears near the contact of sediments.

19

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Review of operations
SeCtion 2

The Rockvale arsenic mine was discovered in 1923, and in the period to 1928, produced 2,950 tonnes of ore containing 
about 600 tonnes of white arsenic. Mineralisation occurs as irregular shoots in altered aplite within the Rockvale 
Adamellite. Mineralisation is predominantly pyrite-arsenopyrite, but silver-gold-lead mineralisation (similar to both the Ruby 
and Tulloch mines) is recorded.

Peel’s Activities
During 2011, Peel undertook an 18 line kilometre IP survey over the historic Tulloch silver mine and Rockvale arsenic mine 
areas in preparation for an upcoming drill programme. This work identified multiple zones of strong shallow chargeable 
anomalism, many of which are coincident or proximal to known historic workings. These chargeable IP responses are 
interpreted as areas of possibly concentrated sulphide mineralisation and will be high-priority targets for future drill 
programmes.

Also in 2011 Peel also completed several reconnaissance mapping and rock chip/dump sampling programme at the 
Tulloch, G Reef, Happy Valley and Rockvale areas. This sampling returned very high silver and gold values. Samples 
were collected from shaft dumps at the Rockvale, G Grid and Happy Valley areas from rock chips along the line of lode at 
Rockvale. See Appendix 3 for technical details.

Ongoing reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling programmes over the Tulloch, G Reef/Happy Valley and 
Rockvale areas has delineated the Rockvale line of lode at surface for more than 1000m. Mapping and sampling has also 
identified that the G-Reef lode is traceable in outcrop for 700m in length. In places the lode zone is up to 5m wide and is 
associated with sericitised granite.

In May 2012, Peel completed a maiden RC drilling programme at Ruby Silver comprising 15 holes for 1,483m. The 
programme was designed to test IP chargeability anomalies, and to also test beneath historic workings at the Rockvale and 
Tulloch mines. Several narrow, high-grade silver intercepts were recorded with better results including:
•  PRRC009 – 2m @ 32 g/t Ag from 9m, 3m @ 227 g/t Ag from 20m and 3m @ 267 g/t Ag, 0.82% Pb, 0.39% Zn from 

115m;

•  PRRC010 – 5m @ 145 g/t Ag, 0.23 g/t Au from 93m; and 
•  PRRC013 – 2m @ 173 g/t Ag from 16m and 1m @ 71 g/t Ag from 24m. 

Best results were obtained from drilling directed at the Tulloch Lode. High-grade mineralisation was intersected below 
the base of old workings. Significantly, several shallow high-grade results were returned from near surface in a previously 
unidentified parallel lode.

No exploration was undertaken during 2013 due to the Company’s focus on its core projects.

Yerranderie 
During the reporting period, tenement EL7356 “Yerranderie” was relinquished following its expiry on 23rd June 2013.

Morawa
In 2012, Peel was granted a single exploration licence covering a small greenstone belt located about 20km north 
of Morawa. The area is considered to have potential to host VMS-style base-precious metals. No exploration was 
undertaken during 2013 due to the Company’s focus on its core projects.

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Robert Tyson, who is a Member 
of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Tyson has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation

Principal activities
The principal continuing activity of the Group is the exploration for economic deposits of minerals. For the period of this 
report, the emphasis has been on base and precious metals.

Results
The loss of the Group for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $1,475,928 (2012: $527,337), 
including exploration expenditure written off of $53,455 and share based payment expense of $543,301 for options 
granted to directors and employees. The net assets of the group have increased by $6,114,453 since 30 June 2012. This 
increase is primarily a result of the capital raising of $5,096,000 that was completed in June 2013.

Dividends
No dividends were paid or proposed during the year. 

Review of operations
A review of the operations of the Group during the financial year and the results of those operations are contained in

used to purchase Wirchiliba Station (on which the Mallee Bull project lies) and continue the company’s exploration 
programs.

ii.  10,400,000 ordinary shares at $0.49 each for cash. The cash received from the increase in contributed equity will 
principally be used to contribute to funding the progression of the Mallee Bull project once a joint venture is formed

iv.  400,000 ordinary shares from the exercise of employee share options at $0.08 each for cash.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report is set out under the following headings:
a)  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
b)  Details of remuneration
c)  Service agreements
d)  Share-based compensation and
e)  Additional information.
a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the remuneration framework of Peel Mining Limited is to ensure reward for performance is competitive 
and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives 
and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board believes that executive remuneration satisfies the following key 
criteria:
•  competitiveness and reasonableness
•  acceptability to shareholders
•  performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation
• 
•  capital management.

transparency

These criteria result in a framework which can be used to provide a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and a blend of 
short and long-term incentives in line with the Company’s limited financial resources.

Board and senior management
Fees and payments to the Directors and other key management personnel reflect the demands which are made on, and 
the responsibilities of, the Directors and the senior management. Such fees and payments are determined by the Board 
and reviewed annually. 

Company policy in relation to issuing options and remunerating executives is that directors are entitled to remuneration out 
of the funds of the Company but the remuneration of the non-executive Directors may not exceed in any year the amount 
fixed by the Company in general meeting for that purpose. The aggregate fees of the non-executive directors has been 
fixed at a maximum of $300,000 per annum to be apportioned among the non-executive Directors in such a manner as 
they determine (refer below). Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses 
incurred in consequence of their attendance at Board meetings and otherwise in the execution of their duties as Directors.

Remuneration is not linked to past group performance but rather towards generating future shareholder wealth through 
share price performance. Peel Mining Limited listed on 11 May 2007 at 20c per share and the share price at 30 June 2013 
was 33c (2012: 7.8c). The shares recorded high and low points of 74c and 6.4c during the year, and were trading at 38c 
on 16 September 2013. The company has recorded a loss each financial year to date as it carries out exploration activities 
on its tenements. No dividends have been paid.

b) Details of remuneration 
Details of the nature and amount of each element of the remuneration of each of the Directors of Peel Mining Limited and 
other key management personnel of the Group during the year ended 30 June 2013 are set out in the following table.

notes to the consolidated financial statements

1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have 
been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes the financial 
statements for the consolidated entity which comprises Peel Mining Limited and the subsidiaries it controlled at the end 
of, or during the financial year ended 30 June 2013.

(a) basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, 
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations 
and the Corporations Act 2001. Peel Mining Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial 
statements.

Compliance with IFRS
The financial statements and notes of Peel Mining Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

(b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising Peel Mining Limited (the parent 
entity) and Apollo Mining Pty Ltd and Peel Environmental Services Limited (the controlled entities) which Peel Mining 
Limited controlled during the year and at reporting date (“the Group”). A controlled entity is any entity that Peel Mining 
Limited has the power to control the financial and operational policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Information from the financial statements of the subsidiary is included from the date the parent company obtains control 
until such time as control ceases. Where there is a loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements 
include the results for the part of the reporting period during which the parent company has control.

Subsidiary acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent 
accounting policies. 

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions,  
have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated except where costs cannot be recovered.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost in the parent entity. 

(c) revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the group and the revenue 
can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Interest income
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues using the effective interest rate method.

(d) income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on 
the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets 
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible 
temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised. A deferred 
income tax asset is not recognised where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference 
arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the 
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss or when the deductible temporary 
difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred 
tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable 
future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

32

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013notes to the consolidated financial statements
SeCtion 9

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent it is no 
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the 
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted at the reporting date. 
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit and loss for the year.

(e) impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an 
indicator of impairment exists, the company makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount 
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable 
amount.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, 
unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does not generate 
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable 
amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The estimated future cash flows are 
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate reflecting current market assessments of the time value 
of money and the risks specific to the asset. No impairment losses (2012: $nil) have been recognised for the year ending 
30 June 2013.

(f) cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows preparation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposits held 
at call with financial institutions. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in the current liabilities on the statement of 
financial position.

(g) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30 to 90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at 
amortised cost less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there 
is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect the debts. The allowance for bad debts is recognised in a 
separate account. Bad debts are written off when identified.

(h) other financial assets – security deposits
The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. Management determines the classification at initial 
recognition and where applicable re-evaluates this designation at the end of each reporting period. Loans and receivables 
are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The group assesses at the end of each financial period 
whether a financial asset is impaired.

Security deposits are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market. 

(i) fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for 
disclosure purposes.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their 
fair values due to their short-term nature. 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 Group for similar 
financial instruments.

(j) Plant and equipment
All assets acquired, including plant and equipment are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition, being the fair value 
of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Depreciation on Plant and 
equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts over their estimated 
useful lives from the time the asset is held ready for use as follows:
•  Plant 
•  Vehicles 
•  Office equipment   
•  Computer software  

3-5 years 
3-5 years
3-5 years
3-5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. 
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount.

33

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013 
 
 
notes to the consolidated financial statements
SeCtion 9

An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its 
use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between net disposal 
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(k) exploration and evaluation expenditure
All exploration and evaluation expenditure are capitalised under AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral 
Resource. Mineral interest acquisition, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated and capitalised 
in relation to each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that the Group’s right 
to tenure to that area of interest are current and either the costs are expected to be recouped through successful 
development and exploitation of the area of interest (alternatively by sale) or where areas of interest have not at reporting 
date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable 
reserves, and active, and significant operations are being undertaken in relation to, the area of interest.

Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until 
production commences.

The policy has resulted in exploration expenditure of $53,455 (2012: $nil) being written off during the year. 

(l) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year 
which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. They are recognised 
initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost.

(m) contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a 
business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the entity acquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted 
from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the 
consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in 
equity.

(n) earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any 
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

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.

(o) goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable is included as 
a current asset in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from 
investing and financing activities which are recoverable from the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

(p) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
decision maker. The chief decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors.

34

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013notes to the consolidated financial statements
SeCtion 9

(q) Share based Payments
Share-based compensation benefits to directors, employees and consultants are provided at the discretion of the Board.

The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is 
measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the recipient becomes unconditionally entitled to the 
options.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into 
account the exercise price, the term of the option, 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 option.

The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-
market vesting conditions (for example, profitability). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the 
number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the 
number of options 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 profit or 
loss with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

(r) leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership are classified as finance leases (note 11). Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value 
of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, 
net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between 
the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce 
a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and 
equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful 
life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the group as lessee are 
classified as operating leases (note 36). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the 
lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

Lease income from operating leases where the group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straightline basis over the 
leaseterm (note 20). The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

(s) new accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2013 
reporting periods and have not yet been applied in the financial report. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these 
new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 2009 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 
9 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective for 
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015). 
AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. Adoption 
of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 30 June 2016. The entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact 
of these amendments.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 
1 January 2013). 
AASB 10 introduces certain changes to the consolidation principles, including the concept of de facto control and 
changes in relation to the special purpose entities. When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, 
there will be no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the financial statements because the entity does not 
have any special purpose entities or because the new definition of control does not change the classification of any of the 
entities investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements or associates.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). 
AASB 11 introduces certain changes to the accounting for joint arrangements. Joint arrangements will be classified as 
either joint operations (where parties with joint control have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities) or joint ventures 
(where parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint arrangements structured as a 
separate vehicle will generally be treated as joint ventures and accounted for using the equity method. When this standard 
is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014, there will be no impact on transactions and balances recognised in the 
financial statements because the entity has not entered into any joint arrangements.

35

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013notes to the consolidated financial statements
SeCtion 9

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). 
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The standard defines which 
entities qualify as joint ventures and removes the option to account for joint ventures using proportional consolidation. 
Joint ventures, where the parties to the agreement have the rights to the net assets will use equity accounting. Joint 
operations, where the parties to the agreements have the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities will account 
for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses separately, using proportionate consolidation. The adoption of this 
standard from 1 July 2013 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 
1 January 2013). 
AASB 12 introduces new disclosure requirements for interests in associates and joint arrangements, as well as new 
requirements for unconsolidated structured entities. As this is a disclosure standard only, there will be no impact on 
amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, additional disclosures will be required for interests in associates 
and joint arrangements, as well as for unconsolidated structured entities.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). 
AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value of financial and non-financial items recognised at fair 
value on the consolidated statement of financial position or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When this 
standard is adopted for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2014, additional disclosures will be required about fair 
values. 

AASB 2012-9 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 
1 July 2013). 
AASB 101, amended in June 2012, introduces amendments to align the presentation items of other comprehensive 
income with US GAAP. The group will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2013.  When this standard is adopted for 
the first time for the year ended 30 June 2014, additional disclosures will be required about fair values. However, there will 
be no impact on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

AASB 2012-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Remove individual Key Management Personnel 
Disclosure Requirements (effective from 1 July 2013). 
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014 the Group will show reduced disclosures under Key 
Management Personnel note to the financial statements.

AASB 2012-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive 
Income (effective from 1 July 2013). 
AASB 2012-9 will align the presentation of items of other comprehensive income (OCI) with US GAAP. When this standard 
is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2013, there will be no impact on amounts recognised for transactions and 
balances for 30 June 2013 (and comparatives).

AASB 119 Employee Benefits (effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)
Elimination of the ‘corridor’ approach for deferring gains/losses for defined benefit plans, actuarial gains/losses on 
remeasuring the defined benefit plan obligation/asset to be recognised in OCI rather than in profit or loss, and cannot be 
reclassified in subsequent periods, subtle amendments to timing for recognition of liabilities for termination benefits, and 
employee benefits expected to be settled (as opposed to due to settled under current standard) within 12 months after the 
end of the reporting period are short-term benefits, and therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. Annual 
leave not expected to be used within 12 months of end of reporting period will in future be discounted when calculating 
leave liability. This standard has no impact as there are no annual leave provision amounts that are non-current. The group 
will apply this from 1 July 2013.

AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive 
Income (effective periods commencing on or after from 1 January 2013). 
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 30 June 2013, there will be no material impact.

interpretation 20 Stripping costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine and AASb 2011-12 Amendments 
to Australian Accounting Standards arising from interpretation 20
This interpretation and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2013 The Interpretation clarifies when production stripping costs should lead to the recognition of an asset and 
how that asset should be initially and subsequently measured. The Interpretation only deals with waste removal costs that 
are incurred in surface mining activities during the production phase of the mine. The adoption of the interpretation and 
the amendments from 1 July 2013 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.

(t) critical accounting estimates and judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and 
best available current information.

The Company makes estimates and judgements in applying the accounting policies. Critical judgements in respect of 
accounting policies relate to exploration assets, where exploration expenditure is capitalised in certain circumstances. 
Recoverability of the carrying amount of any exploration assets is dependent on the successful development and 
commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas of interest.

Capitalisation and carrying amount of capitalised mining license
The mining leases acquired are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost. The directors have 
determined that the acquisition cost approximates to the fair value of the asset. 

Share-based payment transactions
The group measures the cost of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees by reference to the 
fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes model. The 
accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact expenses and equity.

Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
It is the group’s policy to capitalise costs relating to exploration and evaluation activities. The future recoverability of 
capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors, including whether the group 
decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation 
asset through sale.

Factors that could impact future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes 
which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) 
and changes to commodity prices.

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, 
profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which the determination is made.

2. financial risk Management
overview
The Company and Group have exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
•  Credit risk
•  Liquidity risk
•  Market risk

credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers. The Group manages its credit 
risk on financial instruments, including cash, by only dealing with banks licensed to operate in Australia and credit ratings 
of AA.

Trade and other receivables
The Group operates in the mining exploration sector and does not have trade receivables. It is not exposed to credit risk in 
relation to trade receivables.

Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum 
exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s 
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when 
due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s 
reputation. The Group manages liquidity by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual 
cash flows.

Typically the Group ensures it has sufficient cash on hand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 180 
days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that 
cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices will 
affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of managing market risk is to 
manage and control market risk exposures to within acceptable limits, while optimising returns.  
The Group does not have any risks associated with foreign exchange rates or equity prices.

interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Group’s financial position will be adversely affected by movements in interest rates that 
will increase the costs of floating rate debt or opportunity losses that may arise on fixed rate borrowings in a falling interest 
rate environment. The Group does not have any borrowings and is, therefore, not exposed to interest rate risk in this area. 
Cash and cash equivalents at variable rates exposes the group to cashflow interest rate risk. The Group is not exposed to 
fair value interest rate risk as all of its financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortised amount. 

Profile
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the consolidated entity’s interest-bearing financial instruments was:

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments of the consolidated entity
At 30 June 2013 if interest rates had changed +/- 100 basis points from year end rates with all other variables held 
constant, equity and post-tax loss would have been $14,759.28 lower (2012: $5,273).

approximate their fair values.

The Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $ 9,345,662 (2012: $ 8,615,998) available indefinitely for offset against future profits of 
the Group. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of these losses at this point in time as the Group is still engaged in 
exploration activities. In the year to 30 June 2013 the Group also had an unrecognised deferred tax asset in respect of equity raising 
costs of $152,903 (2012: $86,627). The deferred tax liability arising from capitalised exploration costs and licence acquisitions have 
been recognised and offset by the deferred asset balances above.

the recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial 
exploitation, or alternatively the sale, of the respective areas of interest. 

During the year, stage-1 and stage-2 of the farm-in by CBH Resources Limited (CBH) to the Group’s Mallee Bull Project was completed. this saw CBH 
pay the Group $1,000,000 as a re-imbursement for previous expenditure and contribute $4,000,000 to exploration on the project to earn an initial 30%. 
these amounts have been included in the Groups Consolidated statement of Cashflows and Consolidated statement of financial Position, however 
per the group’s accounting policy, the contributions are off-set against the expenditure incurred resulting in no gain or loss recognised (net effect) in the 
capitalised exploration expenditure asset.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and 
amounts paid on the shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is 
entitled to one vote.

(d) Options

information relating to options issued during the year is set out in notes 13 and 24.

(e) Capital risk management

in employing its capital (or equity as it is referred to on the statement of financial position) the company seeks to ensure that it will be able to 
continue as a going concern and in time provide value to shareholders by way of increased market capitalisation or dividends. in the current stage 
of its development, the company has invested its available capital in acquiring and exploring mining tenements. As is appropriate at this stage, the 
company is funded entirely by equity. As it moves forward to develop its tenements towards a production stage, the company will adjust its capital 
structure to support its operational and strategic objectives, by raising additional capital or taking on debt, as is seen to be appropriate from time to 
time given the overriding objective of creating shareholder value. in this regard, the board will consider each step forward in the development of the 
company on its merits and in the context of the then capital markets, in deciding how to structure capital raisings.

Management has determined that the Group has one reportable segment, being mineral exploration within Australasia. the Group is focused only 
on mineral exploration and the Board monitors the group based on actual versus budgeted exploration expenditure incurred. this internal reporting 
framework is the most relevant to assist the Board with making decisions regarding the Group and its ongoing exploration activities, while also 
taking into consideration the results of exploration work that has been performed to date.

(d) Fair value of options granted 

the assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to directors of the company and employees during the period ended 30 june 2013 was 21 
cents per option and 4 cents per option respectively. employee options were valued on a prorated basis as a result of the vesting condition attached to 
these options (50% of the options vest one year from grant date). the fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-scholes option 
pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, 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 option.
the model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 june 2013 included:

(i) Options are granted for no  
consideration and vest accordingly

(ii) exercise Price

(iii) Grant Date

(iv) expiry Date

(v) share Price at Grant Date

Corporate Governance Statement

A description of the Company’s main corporate governance practices is set out below. These practices, unless otherwise 
stated, were adopted on 20th March 2007. Copies of relevant corporate governance policies are available in the corporate 
governance section of the Company’s web-site at www.peelmining.com.au.

board of Directors
The Board is responsible for guiding and monitoring the Company on behalf of shareholders by whom they are 
elected and to whom they are accountable. The Board’s primary responsibility is to oversee the Company’s business 
activities and management for the benefit of shareholders. Day to day management of the Company’s affairs and the 
implementation of corporate strategies and policy initiatives are formally delegated by the Board to the Managing Director 
and senior executives, as set out in the Company’s Board charter.

board composition
The Board charter states that:
• 
• 
• 

the Board is to comprise an appropriate mix of both executive and non-executive directors.
the roles of Chairman and Managing Director will not be combined.
the Chairman is elected by the full Board and is required to meet regularly with the Managing Director.

Board members should possess complementary business disciplines and experience aligned with the Company’s 
objectives, with a number of directors being independent and where appropriate, major shareholders being represented 
on the Board. Consequently, at various times there may not be a majority of directors classified as being independent, 
according to ASX guidelines. However, where any director has a material personal interest in a matter, the director will not 
be permitted to be present during discussions or to vote on the matter.

Directors’ independence
The experience, qualifications and term of office of directors are set out in the Directors’ Report. The Board comprises 
three directors one of whom is considered independent under the principles set out below. Having regard to the 
share ownership structure of the Company, it is considered appropriate by the Board that a major shareholder may be 
represented on the Board and if nominated, hold the position of Chairman. Such appointment would not be deemed to 
be independent under ASX guidelines. The Chairman is expected to bring independent thought and judgement to his role 
in all circumstances. Where matters arise in which there is a perceived conflict of interest, the Chairman must declare his 
interest and abstain from any consideration or voting on the relevant matter. 

Directors have the right, in connection with their duties and responsibilities, to seek independent professional advice at the 
Company’s expense, subject to the prior written approval of the Chairman, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Performance assessment
The Board has adopted a formal process for an annual self-assessment of its collective performance and the performance 
of individual directors. The Board is required to meet annually with the purpose of reviewing the role of the Board, 
assessing its performance over the previous 12 months and examining ways in which the Board can better perform its 
duties. A formal assessment was undertaken during the year, using a self-assessment checklist as the basis for evaluation 
of performance against the requirements of the Board charter.

corporate reporting
The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer provide a certification to the Board on the integrity of the Company’s external 
financial reports. The Board does not specifically require an additional certification that the financial statements are founded 
on a sound system of risk management and that compliance and control systems are operating efficiently and effectively. The 
Board considers that risk management and internal compliance and control systems are sufficiently robust for the Board to 
place reliance on the integrity of the financial statements without the need for an additional certification by management.

The company has established policies for the oversight and management of material business risk.

board committees 
Whist at all times the Board retains full responsibility for guiding and monitoring the Company, in discharging its 
stewardship makes use of committees. To this end the Board has established or may establish the following committees:

•  Audit committee;
•  Nomination committee; and 
•  Remuneration committee.

49

Peel mining limited AnnuAl RepoRt 2013Corporate Governance Statement
SeCtion 13

At present the board has deemed the Company’s current size does not sufficiently warrant the establishment of the 
above-mentioned committees; however the Board will continually re-evaluate this position as necessary. If or when 
these committees are established, each will have its own written charter. Matters determined by the committees will be 
submitted to the full Board as recommendations for Board consideration.

If or when an audit committee is established, the committee will oversee accounting and reporting practices and will also 
be responsible for:
•  Co-ordination and appraisal of the quality of the audits conducted by the Company’s external auditors;
•  Determination of the independence and effectiveness of the external auditors;
•  Assessment of whether non-audit services have the potential to impair the independence of the external auditor;
•  Reviewing the adequacy of the reporting and accounting controls of the Company.

If or when a remuneration committee is established, the remuneration committee will review all remuneration policies and 
practices for the Company, including overall strategies in relation to executive remuneration policies and compensation 
arrangements for the Managing Director and Non-Executive Directors, as well as all equity based remuneration policies.

Details of the Company’s current remuneration policies are set out in the Remuneration Report section of the Directors’ Report. 
The remuneration policy states that executive directors may participate in share option schemes with the prior approval of 
shareholders. Executives may also participate in employee share option schemes, with any option issues generally being made 
in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders. The Board however, considers it appropriate to retain the 
flexibility to issue options to executives outside of approved employee option plans in appropriate circumstances. 

The responsibility for the selection of potential directors and to review membership lies with the full Board of the Company and 
consequently no separate nomination committee has been established. In circumstances where the size of the Board is expanded 
as a result of the growth or complexity of the Company, the establishment of a separate nomination committee will be reconsidered.

external Auditors
The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd was appointed as the external 
auditors in 2006. It is both the Company’s and BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd.’s policy to rotate audit engagement partners at 
least every five years and the review partner every five years.

The external auditors provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board. The external auditor is requested 
to attend annual general meetings and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and 
the preparation and content of the audit report.

code of conduct
A formal code of conduct for the Company applies to all directors and employees. The code aims to encourage the appropriate 
standards of conduct and behaviour of the directors, officers, employees and contractors of the Company. All personnel are 
expected to act with integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Company.

continuous Disclosure and Shareholder communications
The Company has a formal written policy for the continuous disclosure of any price sensitive information concerning the 
Company. The Board has also adopted a formal written policy covering arrangements to promote communications with 
shareholders and to encourage effective participation at general meetings.

The Managing Director and Company Secretary have been nominated as the Company’s primary disclosure officers. All information 
released to the ASX is posted on the Company’s web-site immediately after it is disclosed to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on 
aspects on the Company’s operations, the material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the Company’s 
web-site. All shareholders receive a copy of the Company’s annual report. In addition, the Company makes all market announcements, 
media briefings, details of shareholders meetings, press releases and financial reports available on the Company’s web-site.

Share trading policy
The Company has established a share trading policy which governs the trading in the Company’s shares and applies to all 
directors and key management personnel of the Company. 

Under the share trading policy directors or key management personnel must not trade in any securities of the Company at 
any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price sensitive information in relation to those securities.

No acquisitions or sale of Company securities may be made during closed periods i.e. the time from two weeks prior to, 
and 24 hours after the release of the quarterly cash flow report nor prior to any anticipated announcement to the ASX or 
for a 24 hour period after the announcement. Trading of securities outside the trading windows can only occur with the 
approval of the Chairman or Board of Directors.

As required by the ASX rules, the Company notifies the ASX of any transaction in the securities of the Company 
conducted by directors.
