CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
1
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of RBR Group Limited (“RBR”), it gives me great pleasure to present the Company’s
Annual Report for 2017.
Reflecting on the year that has passed, it is fair to say that significant progress has been made towards the goal of
establishing RBR as a leading international provider of holistic labour solutions.
Mozambique, the focus of much of our recent efforts, remains as appealing as when we first moved there in 2015. We
have done well to secure a number of commercial contracts with blue chip clients while waiting for the large liquefied
natural gas developments proposed for the country’s Rovuma Basin to move into construction.
We took great encouragement from Italian oil and gas company Eni approving the US$8 billion Coral South floating LNG
project in the June quarter and there are signs that Anadarko will sanction its US$24 billion AMA1 onshore LNG project
during the 2018 financial year.
The proponents of these projects and their key contractors will require significant assistance to adhere to strict,
government-imposed rules around local training and employment, which is where the major opportunity for RBR lies.
Following investment in our training facilities, some personnel changes and simplification of the ownership structure of our
PacMoz, Lda (“PacMoz”) labour broking business, we believe we are now better placed than ever to capitalise on the
imminent LNG boom in Mozambique and associated demand for our services.
We have not limited our sights to Mozambique and in March this year we were successful in winning our first contract in
Mongolia, another emerging market in which resources development is expected to drive strong economic growth.
The contract, for training at Rio Tinto’s giant Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine, will hopefully lead to other opportunities and
allow us to demonstrate that the business model developed for Mozambique can be rolled out just as effectively in other
jurisdictions.
Our Australian revenue grew quarter on quarter throughout the 2017 financial year, which was a pleasing trend.
Traineeships and associated services delivered through our Registered Training Organisation, remain a significant growth
opportunity in the domestic market.
Our CEO Richard Carcenac has provided more detail on the Company’s activities during the 2017 financial year and the
business outlook in his review which follows.
Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to our staff in Australia and Mozambique and to our Shareholders, longstanding
and new. Without the support of these two groups, our prospects would be much less promising.
Ian Macpherson

LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholders,
Financial year 2017 was an eventful and encouraging one for RBR Group as we went about building on the foundations
laid previously in Mozambique and Australia, established a presence in Mongolia and kept a watching brief on opportunities
in other emerging markets with significant labour force and training needs.
RBR’s vision remains unchanged – Supplying Skilled People to the Workplace Every Day. As the mining sector recovers
globally, investment in new resources and infrastructure projects is gathering pace. This is especially true in developing
countries, placing further demand on an already tight supply of skilled local labour, which makes us optimistic for the future.
RBR has also not deviated in its financial strategy, which centres on growing its sustainable cash flow business base whilst
keeping overheads at a minimum and to this end, the Company concentrated on several strategic priorities during the
financial year:
1) Consolidating and growing our position in Mozambique
Mozambique continues to represent the main operational focus for the Company. Reflecting this, we recently took steps
to acquire the remaining 40% stake in PacMoz, which is one of only a handful of authorised labour brokers in the country,
making it a wholly owned subsidiary.
The acquisition was done on favourable terms and will ensure shareholders have maximum leverage to the opportunities
flowing from the construction sector and Mozambique’s upstream oil and gas industry where there is an estimated US$32
billion worth of LNG projects approved or planned.
With its recruitment, labour broking and payroll services, PacMoz is in an excellent position to assist the proponents of the
LNG projects in meeting the strict requirements on local employment imposed by the Mozambican government. RBR’s
other subsidiaries – Futuro Skills, Futuro Business Services, Futuro Medical and Futuro Risk Services – complement the
PacMoz offering. Collectively, these subsidiaries cover all the services required to deliver the Company’s vision.
Over the course of the financial year, RBR built a modern and well-appointed training centre in the capital Maputo; delivered
training programs to clients from various industries through Futuro Skills; secured several new business services clients
aligned with the LNG projects; and established an effective core team of staff across the local business units. We firmly
believe we now have the right mix of people and facilities in place to capitalise on the looming opportunities in Mozambique.
2) Growing the business in Australia
Australia remains a core market for the Company and we were pleased to note that we experienced quarter-on-quarter
revenue growth throughout financial year 2017 from our Australian operations. The majority of our Australian revenues
were derived from training and associated services via our subsidiary Australian Registered Training Organisation.
Our current Australian clients range from small businesses to top-tier companies, providing broad exposure to the recovery
in the Australian resources sector which appears to be underway.
Winning additional contracts in Australia is a key management objective. A significant growth opportunity exists assisting
clients to maximise the incentives available to them while developing staff through apprenticeships and traineeships.
3) Expanding into new territories in Africa and the Asia-Pacific
The need for training of indigenous people for participation in the labour market is not confined to Mozambique. Whether
mandated by local law or by project economics, the requirement to train local citizens to construct resource projects
provides RBR with opportunities in multiple jurisdictions. The Company has developed its business model in such a way
that it is readily replicable anywhere in the world.
During financial year 2017, RBR secured its first contract in Mongolia to provide training services for local personnel on
Rio Tinto’s Oyu Tolgoi copper project. Rio is one of the largest resources companies globally and OT is one of the largest
copper projects currently under construction in the world.
RBR is optimistic that this contract will lead to additional work in Mongolia and is seeking to replicate this success in other
countries, particularly in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, to diversify its revenue streams by commodity and country. We
view this as a prudent risk mitigation strategy.
LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued)

4) Reducing the funding requirements of our exploration assets
With regards to our mining interests, RBR’s major asset is the Yindarlgooda gold project, located east of Kalgoorlie in
Western Australia. During financial year 2017, the Company executed a Farm-in Agreement with Newmont Exploration
Pty Ltd (Newmont). Under the agreement, Newmont is required to invest up to approximately $2 million (in stages) to earn
a 75% interest in the project.
The Farm-in Agreement allows RBR to retain exposure to exploration upside whilst freeing management to focus almost
exclusively on the development of its labour solutions business. The Company has also been relieved of expenditure
commitments to keep the Yindarlgooda tenements in good standing.
Operational highlights for the group in the 12 months since the release of last year’s Annual Report include:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Futuro Skills Mozambique (FSM) completing the delivery of training programs funded by the United Kingdom’s
Department for International Development’s JOBA Employment Fund;
The JOBA students building a high quality new training centre, completely from the ground up, in Maputo as part
of their practical training. This new facility is used by FSM for training activities;
FSM securing Swisscontact, an organisation focused on promoting sustainable economic development in
developing countries, as a new client. Swisscontact has an association with the Mozambican Federation of
Contractors (FME) and has engaged FSM to train employees nominated by FME members, in various
construction skills;
FSM securing repeat business with integrated energy and chemical company Sasol;
The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with South-African-based Subtech Group to establish a
Mozambican joint venture specialising in maritime skills training and the subsequent recruitment and labour
broking of Mozambican maritime workers;
PacMoz and Futuro Business Services securing new clients providing support services to the oil and gas industry;
The delivery of the first and second tranches of expatriate-led training and the development of local trainers in
Mongolia, in partnership with local organisation, Mongolia Talent Network;
Futuro Skills Australia (FSA) commenced the delivery of training and competency assessment services to UGL
(part of the CIMIC Group) in Western Australia;
FSA completing the first phase of its contract with Veolia Environmental Services’ Western Australian businesses,
which involved the provision of a range of training consultancy and workforce development services.
On the corporate front, highlights included:
- Raising approximately $1.06 million through two separate, well-supported share placements, with proceeds
-
-
directed to working capital and growth initiatives;
The aforementioned acquisition of the 40% minority stake in PacMoz from PacMoz Director and General Manager
Ms Hanlie Lloyd for the nominal sum of $1. As part of this reorganisation, RBR agreed to allot five million ordinary
shares to Ms Lloyd 12 months post the sale date subject to certain conditions;
The aforementioned Farm-in Agreement with Newmont in relation to the Yindarlgooda gold project in Western
Australia.
THE WAY FORWARD
The progress made during financial year 2017 sees RBR well poised as the major LNG projects planned for Mozambique
move closer to development and the proponents start to consider the practicalities of meeting local labour force
requirements. We have strengthened our in-country team, consolidated our revenue base by securing further business
with commercial organisations and significantly improved our facilities and technology.
We are working towards formalising the joint venture with Subtech, which will position us to secure contracts and meet
demand for maritime workers from the first major oil and gas project given the go-ahead in Mozambique’s Rovuma Basin,
Italian company Eni’s US$8 billion Coral South floating LNG facility.
Importantly, the Subtech JV won’t preclude RBR from pursuing labour broking opportunities associated with any other
sectors, including onshore LNG developments planned for the Rovuma Basin (including Anadarko’s US$24 billion AMA1
project, which appears likely to be approved in the 2018 financial year) on our own account or in conjunction with a different
partner.
These onshore projects could create employment opportunities collectively worth more than $1 billion a year in salaries
and, as we have stated previously, RBR’s capabilities in Mozambique are a significant differentiator: other labour brokers
focus on recruiting “work-ready” candidates but do not have RBR’s capacity to develop their own workforce.
Whilst maintaining our focus on Mozambique, we will continue to actively target other emerging markets with similarly strict
local content laws and lower levels of education, primarily in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. The recent recovery in
commodity prices should help to drive resource development activity – and therefore demand for our services – in markets
of this kind.

LETTER FROM THE CEO (Continued)
Despite being a more mature market, Australia will remain important for RBR. Not only does it provide a point of
diversification from Mozambique, but Australia’s safety culture and stringent governance standards elevate RBR above
many of its local peers when competing for tier one clients in Africa and the Asia-Pacific. There is also the fact that the
prospects for growing the Australian business are promising, as I have touched on already.
The risks to RBR remain, on the whole, very similar to those outlined in last year’s Annual Report. We believe we have a
sound grasp of these and, where possible, have implemented appropriate mitigation strategies.
I sincerely hope you share the view that the future is bright for RBR and that there is much to achieve in financial year
2018 and beyond. Your support to date is much appreciated.

Australian Joint Venture Interests
Yindarlgooda Area
RBR retains interests in the Peters Dam Joint Venture and the Yindarlgooda Joint Venture at the Yindarlgooda Area located
east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
The Yindarlgooda Area comprises approximately 260km2 of tenure covered by two joint ventures centred 55km east of
Kalgoorlie. The region contains gold, base metal and iron occurrences.
The projects are held under two joint ventures; the Peters Dam Joint Venture with Silver Lake Resources Limited (“Silver
Lake”) as managers, and the newly signed Yindarlgooda Joint Venture with Newmont Exploration Limited (“Newmont”),
also managers.
Peters Dam Joint Venture (Silver Lake Resources Limited 30% (RBR diluting))
In July 2009, RBR entered into the Peters Dam joint venture with Integra Mining Ltd (later to become Silver Lake), covering
21km2 of RBR tenements at the southern end of the Yindarlgooda area adjacent to Sliver Lake’s Salt Creek gold deposit.
Silver Lake has expended $1.9m exploring the project area and earned a 70% equity.
No drilling or sampling work was conducted by Silver Lake during the reporting period due to a reduction in its exploration
budget.
Yindarlgooda Joint Venture (Newmont Exploration Limited Earning, RBR 100%)
In July 2017 RBR signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Newmont over the 237km² Yindarlgooda Project tenements
located 32km northeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Newmont has the opportunity to earn up to 70% in the
Yindarlgooda joint venture tenements through expenditure of $2m.
The Yindarlgooda Joint Venture covers a 28km strike length of gold prospective stratigraphy between the Mt Monger-
Bulong (15km south) and Gindalbie (4km north) gold mining centres, and is just 600m from the Penny’s Find Gold Project
currently in development.
Newmont is currently progressing grant of the exploration licence applications.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the Consolidated Entity during the financial year remained focused on Asia-Pacific and
Mozambique. The group operates via subsidiaries Pac Moz, Lda (“PacMoz”), Futuro Skills, Lda (“Futuro Skills”) and Futuro
Business Services, Lda in the provision of labour, training and professional services in Mozambique. In Asia-Pacific the
Australian business remains core while maintaining its mineral exploration and development assets, primarily in Western
Australia (refer to the review of operations and activities below).
DIVIDENDS
No dividend has been paid since the end of the previous financial year and no dividend is recommended for the current
year.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
The Company has maintained its operational focus in Mozambique and acquired the remaining 40% stake in the PacMoz
labour broking business. PacMoz is now a wholly owned subsidiary of RBR. RBR’s financial strategy remains unchanged
and is focused on: the further growth of its sustainable cash flow business base; establishing itself as a leading service
provider to the resources, construction and oil & gas sectors; and leveraging its position with a watching brief on mineral
resource opportunities. As the mining sector recovers globally, the company is optimistic regarding the business
opportunities before it.
To achieve its financial objectives, RBR has focused on the following key strategic priorities:
Consolidating and Growing RBR’s position in Mozambique
The opportunity in the Mozambique resource sector is a large one. Major resources projects are expected to drive a
substantial increase in demand for labour, training and vocational education services over the coming years. RBR
subsidiaries Futuro Skills and PacMoz are expected to be key players in this market.
The initial focus has been on opportunities in the upstream oil and gas industry specifically the LNG sector where there is
an estimated US$32bn worth of LNG projects approved or planned, and the construction sector. These opportunities were
a key driver for the consolidation of the remaining minority stake in the PacMoz business. Participating in both the onshore
and offshore components of LNG projects under consideration will expand the market opportunity available to the group.
To provide maximum shareholder leverage to this opportunity RBR acquired the balance of the PacMoz business on
favourable terms.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)
Growing the business in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region
The need for training of indigenous people for participation in the labour market is not confined to Mozambique. Whether
mandated by local law or by project economics, the requirement to train local citizens to construct resource projects
provides the group with opportunities in multiple jurisdictions. RBR’s current training activities in Mongolia and its goal to
secure similar contracts in other African countries will not only grow the business, but also reduce portfolio risk by
diversifying its revenue streams by commodity and country.
Australia remains a core market for the group. Current Australian clients range from small businesses to top-tier
companies, providing exposure to the recovery in the Australian resources sector which appears to be underway.
Targeting additional contract wins in Australia is a key management objective.
With regard to its mining interests RBR's major project is the Yindarlgooda gold project located east of Kalgoorlie. During
the Financial Year the company executed a Farm-in Agreement with Newmont Exploration Pty Ltd (Newmont). Under
the agreement, Newmont is required, under a multi-phase program to invest up to approximately A$2m to earn a 75%
equity stake in the project. The Farm-in Agreement allows RBR to retain exposure to exploration success whilst retaining
focus and capital for the development and growth of its services sector.

As at 30 June 2017 the Consolidated Entity had cash reserves of $339,084 (2016: $94,619). The net loss for the year was

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT
the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendation 8.1 of
Recommendations (2nd edition) states that the Board should establish a Remuneration Committee. The Board has formed
the view that given the number of Directors on the Board, this function could be performed just as effectively with full Board
participation. Accordingly, it was resolved that there would be no separate Board sub-committee for remuneration
purposes.
This report details the amount and nature of remuneration of each Director of the Consolidated Entity and executive officers
of the Consolidated Entity during the year.
Overview of Remuneration Policy
The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the
executive team. The broad remuneration policy is to ensure that remuneration properly reflects the relevant person’s
duties and responsibilities, and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the
highest quality. The Board believes that the best way to achieve this objective is to provide the Managing Director (or
equivalent) and the Executive Team with a remuneration package consisting of a fixed and variable component that
together reflects the person’s responsibilities, duties and personal performance. An equity based remuneration
arrangement for the Board and the Executive Team is in place. The remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration
component and a specific equity related component, with no performance conditions. The Board believes that this
remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Consolidated Entity and the activities which it
undertakes and is appropriate in aligning Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives.
The remuneration policy in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the Chief Executive Officer has been developed
by the Board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and
operating in similar sectors.
Directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% per annum
and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, can choose to sacrifice part or all of their
salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to Directors is valued at cost to the Consolidated Entity and expensed. Options are valued using
either the Black-Scholes methodology or the Binomial model. In accordance with current accounting policy the value of
these options is expensed over the relevant vesting period.
Non-Executive Directors
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time,
commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their
remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when
required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by
shareholders at a General Meeting. The annual aggregate amount of remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors was
approved by shareholders on 7 November 2006 and is not to exceed $200,000 per annum. Actual remuneration paid to
the Consolidated Entity’s Non-Executive Directors is disclosed below Notwithstanding the approved maximum of $200,000
and the policy of fair remuneration, Non-Executive Directors have accepted significantly reduced remuneration fees in light
of the restricted working capital position of the company as it builds its business units. Remuneration fees for Non-
Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity. However, to align Directors’ interests
with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Consolidated Entity.
Senior Executives and Management
The Consolidated Entity aims to reward executives with a level of remuneration commensurate with their position and
responsibilities within the Consolidated Entity so as to:
Reward executives of the Consolidated Entity and individual performance against targets set by reference to
appropriate benchmarks;
Reward executives in line with the strategic goals and performance of the Consolidated Entity; and
Ensure that total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
Fixed remuneration; and
Issuance of performance rights.
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)
13
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis including any employee
benefits e.g. motor vehicles) as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position
and is competitive in the market.
Remuneration packages for the staff who report directly to the Managing Director (or equivalent) are based on the
recommendation of the Managing Director (or equivalent), subject to the approval of the Board in the annual budget setting
process.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of the Company, RBR Group Limited and
its controlled entities (“RBR” or “Consolidated Entity”), are stated to assist in a general understanding of the financial
report. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise indicated.
RBR Group Limited is a Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are
publicly traded on the official list of the Australian Securities Exchange. The financial statements are presented in
Australian dollars which is the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency.
(a)
Basis of Preparation
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and
the Corporations Act 2001.
RBR Group Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and does not take into account
changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors.
Going Concern
The Consolidated Entity incurred a loss for the year of $1,078,031 (2016: $1,354,543) Including a non-cash
impairment charge of $124,618 (2016: Nil) and a net cash outflow from operating activities of $1,083,472
(2016: $948,180).
At 30 June 2017, the Consolidated Entity had cash assets of $339,084 (2016: $94,619) and working capital
of $420,082 (2016: -$42,064). Since the year end the Company has raised an additional $268,114 before
costs and continues to develop new business in Asia-Pacific and Africa.
Although the above is indicative of a material uncertainty, the Company is confident in the support of its
shareholders until the Consolidated Entity is cash flow positive.
The Directors continue to manage the Consolidated Entity’s activities with due regard to current and future
funding requirements. On this basis, the Directors believe the financial statements should be prepared on a
going concern basis.
(b)
Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the
period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. None of the balances reported
have been derived from estimates.
(c)
Basis of Consolidation
Controlled Entity
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of RBR Group Limited and its
subsidiaries as at 30 June each year.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent
company, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and
expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. The
subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity
and ceases to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the consolidated entity.
22
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The acquisition of the subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of
the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of the subsidiaries for the period from
their acquisition.
Joint Ventures
Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the consolidated entity has joint control, established
by contractual agreement.
In the consolidated entity’s financial statements, investments in joint ventures are carried at cost. Details of
these interests are shown in Note 27.
(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 income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply
when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted. The
relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to
measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising
from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred asset or liability is recognised in relation to
those temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the
time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Current and future tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised
directly in equity.
(e)
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is RBR Group Limited’s functional and
presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates
at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars
using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the
period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through
the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is
disposed of.
(f)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated
Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met
before revenue is recognised.
Interest income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on
the financial asset.

(g)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and
short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash
and cash equivalents as defined above, which are readily convertible to cash on hand and which are used
in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis.
(h)
Employee Entitlements
Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and other current employee entitlements expected to be
settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’
services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities
are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured
at the rates paid or payable.
Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as the contributions are paid
or become payable.
(i)
Plant and Equipment and Motor Vehicles
Each class of plant and equipment and motor vehicles is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable,
any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment and motor vehicles
Plant and equipment and motor vehicles are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment in value.
The carrying values of plant and equipment and motor vehicles are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined
for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any such indication exists where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets
or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
Depreciation
Depreciable non-current assets are depreciated over their expected economic life using either the straight
line or the diminishing value method. Profits and losses on disposal of non-current assets are taken into
account in determining the operating loss for the year. The depreciation rate used for each class of assets
is as follows:
Plant & equipment
Motor vehicles
20 - 33%
22.5%
(j)
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), except
where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”). In these
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of
the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. GST incurred is claimed from the
ATO when a valid tax invoice is provided. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the
ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.
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, or payable to, the ATO are
classified as operating cash flows.
24
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(k)
Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the
end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30
days of recognition.
(l)
Contributed Equity
Issued capital is recognised as the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.
Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction
of the share proceeds received.
(m) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area
of interest and is subject to impairment testing. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area
of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which:
such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the
area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or
exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not reached a stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active
or significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of reduced
value, accumulated costs carried forward are written off in the year in which that assessment is made. A
regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry
forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Where a mineral resource has been identified and where it is expected that future expenditures will be
recovered by future exploitation or sale, the impairment of the exploration and evaluation is written back and
transferred to development costs. Once production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant
area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically
recoverable reserves.
Costs of site restoration and rehabilitation are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a present
obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable and the amount of the provision can be
reliably estimated.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present
obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying
amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:
(i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and
(ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
For the purpose of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating
units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of
interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of
interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first
tested for impairment and then re-classified from intangible assets to mining property and development
assets within property, plant and equipment.
(n)
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated based upon the net profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders
of the parent divided by the weighted average number of shares. Diluted EPS are calculated as the net
profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the parent divided by the weighted average number of shares
and dilutive potential shares.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
25 25
(o)
Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic
substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the
risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
(p)
Share-based payment transactions
The Company provides benefits to employees (including Directors and Consultants) of the Consolidated
Entity in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange
for shares or rights over shares (“Equity–settled transactions”).
There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits being an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”)
which provides benefits to Directors, Consultants and Senior Executives.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to fair value at the date at which they
are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using the either the Black-Scholes or
Binomial model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than
conditions linked to the price of the shares of RBR Group Limited (“market conditions”).
The cost of equity settled securities is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the
period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees
become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).
Where the Consolidated Entity acquires some form of interest in an exploration tenement or an exploration
area of interest and the consideration comprises share-based payment transactions, the fair value of the
equity instruments granted is measured at grant date. The cost of equity securities is recognised within
capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure, together with a corresponding increase in equity.
(q)
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.
(r)
Financial risk management
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management
framework, to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Consolidated Entity. These risks include credit
risk, liquidity risk and market risk from the use of financial instruments. The Consolidated Entity has only
limited use of financial instruments through its cash holdings being invested in short term interest bearing
securities. The primary goal of this strategy is to maximise returns while minimising risk through the use of
accredited Banks with a minimum credit rating of A1 from Standard & Poors. The Consolidated Entity has
no debt, and working capital is maintained at its highest level possible and regularly reviewed by the full
board.
(s)
Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
In the current year, the Consolidated Entity has adopted all new and revised Standards and Interpretations
that have been issued and are effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. The
adoption of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the
Group’s accounting policies.
(t)
Standards issued but not yet effective
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not
yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the annual reporting period ended
30 June 2017. The Consolidated Entity's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting
Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Consolidated Entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2018).
26
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined
below) and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments,
revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for
hedge accounting.
The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the
classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront
accounting for expected credit loss, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on
investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9 also
introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk,
particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies
in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of the Standard, the application of such accounting
would be largely prospective.
Although the Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group’s financial
instruments, including hedging activity, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of
such impact.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –
Effective Date of AASB 15).
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a
single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue
model in AASB 15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between
entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers.
The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to
be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following
five-step process:
identify the contract(s) with a customer;
identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
-
-
- determine the transaction price;
- allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
-
recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.
The transitional provisions of this Standard permit an entity to either: restate the contracts that existed in
each prior period presented per AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors (subject to certain practical expedients in AASB 15); or recognise the cumulative effect of
retrospective application to incomplete contracts on the date of initial application. There are also enhanced
disclosure requirements regarding revenue.
Although the Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 may have an impact on the Group’s financial
statements, they are in the process of negotiating revenue contracts and therefore it is impracticable at this
stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB
117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that
eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases.
The main changes introduced by the new Standard include:
-
recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than
12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets);
- depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss
-
and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the
lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date;
- by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components
and instead account for all components as a lease; and
- additional disclosure requirements.
The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to
comparatives in line with AASB 108 or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an
adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
27 27
The Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will impact the Group's financial statements and
estimate that the impact to be similar to the operating lease commitments of $193,747, detailed in note 18.
AASB 2014-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests
in Joint Operations (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016).
This Standard amends AASB 11: Joint Arrangements to require the acquirer of an interest (both initial and
additional) in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in AASB 3: Business
Combinations, to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in AASB 3 and other
Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in AASB 11; and
disclose the information required by AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards for business
combinations.
The application of AASB 2014-3 will result in a change in accounting policies for the above described
transactions, which were previously accounted for as acquisitions of assets rather than applying the
acquisition method per AASB 3.
The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to acquisitions of
interests in joint operations occurring on or after 1 January 2016. As at 30 June 2016, management is not
aware of the existence of any such arrangements that would impact the financial statements of the entity
going forward and as such is not capable of providing a reasonable estimate at this stage of the impact on
initial application of AASB 2014-3.
AASB 2014-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale or Contribution of Assets between
an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2018, as deferred by AASB 2015-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective
Date of Amendments to AASB 10 and AASB 128).
This Standard amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements with regards to a parent losing control
over a subsidiary that is not a “business” as defined in AASB 3 to an associate or joint venture, and requires
that:
- a gain or loss (including any amounts in other comprehensive income (OCI)) be recognised only to the
-
extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture;
the remaining gain or loss be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in that associate
or joint venture; and
- any gain or loss from remeasuring the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at fair value also
be recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in the associate or joint venture. The
remaining gain or loss should be eliminated against the carrying amount of the remaining investment.
The application of AASB 2014-10 will result in a change in accounting policies for transactions of loss of
control over subsidiaries (involving an associate or joint venture) that are businesses per AASB 3 for which
gains or losses were previously recognised only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest.
The transitional provisions require that the Standard should be applied prospectively to sales or contributions
of subsidiaries to associates or joint ventures occurring on or after 1 January 2018. Although the directors
anticipate that the adoption of AASB 2014-10 may have an impact on the Group’s financial statements, it is
impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

The carrying value of the goodwill for PacMoz was subject to impairment testing in accordance with the accounting
standards. A valuation was undertaken using a discounted cashflow model based on current cashflows plus
expected revenues and a discount rate of 12% and the Board approved an impairment of $124,618. The carrying
value of the intangible is expected to be indefinite and will be evaluated on a six-month basis in the future.
The Directors reviewed the carrying value of Freelance Support Pty Ltd against current revenues and income in
that entity and formed a view that the carrying value is recoverable.

of development of the group’s business units and corporate overheads. The Consolidated Entity’s strategy is to
ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating
appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Consolidated Entity is as follows:

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Consolidated Entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and market risks. The Consolidated
Entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise
potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Consolidated Entity.
(a)
Interest Rate Risk
The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market, interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those
financial assets, is as follows:

Foreign currency exchange risk
The Consolidated Entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to
exchange rate fluctuations arise. The carrying amount of the Consolidated Entity’s foreign currency denominated
monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date is as follows:

Liabilities – Mozambique Metical

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to Mozambique Metical (MZN) currency fluctuations.
The following table details the Consolidated Entity’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian
Dollar (AUD) against the relevant currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk
internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in
foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary
items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.
The sensitivity analysis includes cash balances held in MZN and trade creditors and other payables held in MZN.
A positive number indicates an increase in profit and other equity where the AUD weakens against the relevant
currency. For a strengthening Australian Dollar against the relevant currency there would be an equal and opposite
impact on the profit and other equity and the balances would be negative.

(c)
Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date, is the
carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the balance sheet and in the notes to the
financial statements.
The Consolidated Entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors,
under financial instruments entered into by it. As at the end of the year the Consolidated Entity had trade receivables
of $295,539 (2016: $78,889) as detailed in Note 6. Included in the trade receivables of $295,539 at 30 June 2017,
$209,368 were due in less than 6 months, $78,530 were due between 6-12 months and $7,641 were due between
1-5 years.
(d)
Liquidity Risk
The liquidity position of the Consolidated Entity is managed to ensure sufficient liquid funds are available to meet
financial obligations as they fall due. The contractual maturities of the financial liabilities referred to in Note 12 at
the reporting date are less than 12 months.
(e)
Net Fair Values
For assets and other liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying value. No financial assets and financial
liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form. The Consolidated Entity has no financial
assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values at balance date.
The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the
statement of financial position and in the notes to the financial statements.
23.
EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS AND SUPERANNUATION COMMITMENTS
Employee Entitlements
The aggregate employee entitlement liability is disclosed in Note 13.
Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Permitted Persons Option Plan
Details of the Consolidated Entity’s Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Permitted Persons Option Plan are
disclosed in Note 17.
Superannuation Commitments
The Consolidated Entity contributes to individual employee accumulation superannuation plans at the statutory rate
of the employees’ wages and salaries, in accordance with statutory requirements, to provide benefits to employees
on retirement, death or disability.
Accordingly, no actuarial assessments of the plans are required.
Funds are available for the purposes of the plans to satisfy all benefits that would have been vested under the plans
in the event of:
termination of the plans;
voluntary termination by all employees of their employment; and
compulsory termination by the employer of the employment of each employee.
During the year employer contributions (including salary sacrifice amounts) to superannuation plans totaled $38,439
(2016: $33,073).

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There were no material contingent liabilities not provided for in the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity
as at 30 June 2017 other than:
Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage
Native title claims have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Consolidated Entity
has an interest. The Consolidated Entity is unable to determine the prospects for success or otherwise of the claims
and, in any event, whether or not and to what extent the claims may significantly affect the Consolidated Entity or
its projects. Agreement is being or has been reached with various native title claimants in relation to Aboriginal
Heritage issues regarding certain areas in which the Consolidated Entity has an interest.
PacMoz loans from Vendors
As part of the purchase of a 60% interest in PacMoz Lda, an amount of $200,000 of vendor loans which were
created against internally generated goodwill were reversed on consolidation. The Vendors of PacMoz have agreed
in the purchase agreement to write-off the loans upon completion of the transaction including the exercise of the
option to purchase the balance of 40% of PacMoz and the conversion of the Performance Shares by the end of two
years. The loans will not be called in PacMoz during this time and no interest is payable. In the event that the
option is not exercised the board believes that it will be due to the expected growth of PacMoz not being achieved
and in this event, it is unlikely that the investment in PacMoz will be maintained, and the Consolidated Entity will
never be liable for the loans.
PacMoz Minority Acquisition
Subsequent to the reporting date the Company acquired the 40% minority stake in PacMoz from the PacMoz
Director and General Manager Ms Hanlie Lloyd. The purchase consideration for the acquisition included a
contingent liability for the issue of 5,000,000 shares subject to Ms Lloyd successfully completing the re-organisation
of the entity over the subsequent twelve month period.
25.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE
There has not arisen since the end of the financial year any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual
nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Consolidated Entity to affect substantially the operations of the
Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in subsequent
financial years except for the following:
On 3 July 2017, The Company announced the placement of 66,000,000 shares at 0.5 cents per share, with
funds received of $330,000 before costs. The placement was effected on 30 June 2017 and was the first tranche
of a planned two staged capital raising to raise up to a total of $600,000 with the second tranche subject to
approval by members at a general meeting.

On 8 September 2017, the Company announced the allotment of the second tranche of 53,622,784 shares at
0.5 cents per share, with funds received of $268,114 before costs.
A business update was released to the market on 6 September 2017 providing details of operations in Australia
and Mozambique including the acquisition of the 40% minority stake in PacMoz from the PacMoz Director and
General Manager Ms Hanlie Lloyd. The purchase consideration for the acquisition included a contingent liability
for the issue of 5,000,000 shares subject to Ms Lloyd successfully completing the re-organisation of the entity
over the subsequent twelve-month period.
