Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
COMPANY PROFILE
Rey Resources Limited (“Rey Resources” or “Rey”) is an ASX-listed company (ASX:REY) focused on exploring
and developing energy resources in Western Australia’s Canning Basin.
In early 2013, Rey Resources increased its interest to 25 per cent (%) in two highly prospective Canning Basin
petroleum permits (EP457 and EP458) known as the “Fitzroy Blocks”. The additional interests in the petroleum
permits will provide further exposure for Rey Resources to the emerging Canning Basin oil and gas province.
Rey’s most advanced thermal coal project is the Duchess Paradise Project, which on 1 July 2013 Rey entered
into an agreement to sell by staged acquisition.
Rey’s other coal tenements are also located in the Fitzroy Trough of the Canning Basin, and are partly contiguous
with the Fitzroy Blocks. The Company aims to expand its coal inventory by further exploring these leases.
Rey has an experienced Board and management team committed to continuing to develop and increase its
energy assets to deliver maximum value to its shareholders.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Dear Shareholder
I am pleased to report Rey Resources’ activities to shareholders for the year ended 2013, my first as Chairman.
The past 12 months can be described as a year of restructuring for Rey. During this period, we have adjusted to
the changing business environment and positioned the Company for the future by redirecting our previous focus
on coal development and exploration to emphasising our oil and gas exploration business. Over the same period,
our shareholder base and Board has changed to reflect the new direction. Mr Dachun Zhang was welcomed
as independent Non-executive Director to the Company, and brings extensive international experience and
business relationships to the Rey Board.
The Company took an important step in March 2013 when it increased its exposure to oil and gas exploration
in the Canning Basin, in particular exposure to the prospective Ungani oil trend (Ungani Trend). By increasing
our investment in two EPs, the Company now has a 25% interest in EP457 and EP458 (the Fitzroy Blocks). This
investment, with operator Buru and co-investor Mitsubishi, will form a key asset over the next year. We expect
that at least two oil targets will be drilled in these leases during 2014. Given the interpreted extension of the
Ungani Trend through the Fitzroy Blocks, we have high expectations for this program.
At the same time, due to declining coal prices, the outlook for the Duchess Paradise Project became more
challenging. As a consequence, and for the Project to succeed, Rey announced a conditional staged sale in
July 2013.
In addition, we are in the process of seeking to introduce a strategic investor into our other coal exploration
leases held by the Company. This provides for growth potential in the resource base of the Company whilst
sharing the cost of its development.
I would like to thank my Board colleagues for their support and contribution over the past year, and for the
efforts of all the Rey Resources employees, consultants and contractors who have contributed to the Company’s
activities over the course of the year.
I would also like to thank shareholders for their continuing support for Rey Resources and welcome new
shareholders who either joined the register during the year to support the various transactions we undertook to
effect the restructure, or otherwise through market purchases. We look forward to sharing with you what your
Board believes will be an exciting year ahead.
Min Yang
Chairman

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK
OIL & GAS
Since January 2008 Rey has held a 10% interest in two petroleum exploration permits EP457 and EP458 (the
Fitzroy Blocks) free carried until the grant of a petroleum production licence. The remaining 90% interest was
held by Gujarat NRE Oil Pty Ltd (Gujarat), who sold its interest to Buru Energy Limited (Buru) in October 2013 for
$36 million. On 18 March 2013 Rey announced its acquisition from Buru for $6.17 million of an additional 15%
interest in the Fitzroy Blocks. The equity interests in each permit are now as follows:
Rey
Buru
25%
(including 10% free carried to production)
37.5% (operator)
Diamond Resources (Fitzroy)
37.5% (100% subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation)
Rey will be required to pay for its share of expenditure for its remaining 15% interest, bringing Rey’s total
contribution to expenditure for the Fitzroy Blocks to 16.7%.
The Fitzroy Blocks (comprising a combined area in excess of 10,000 km2) are located over parts of the southern
flank of the Fitzroy Graben and cover parts of the prospective Ungani Trend; the Laurel Formation where tight
gas plays are present; and the Goldwyer Shale thought to be in the oil to wet gas window within the Fitzroy
Blocks.
6
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
Oil and gas exploration planned for 2013 entails 593 km of 2D seismic acquisition along the Ungani Trend within
the Fitzroy Blocks, part of approximately 670 kms of a broader program along the trend. Depending on the
results of the seismic survey, up to four wells are expected to be drilled in 2014 on the Ungani Trend, at least
two of which will be within the Fitzroy Blocks. The seismic survey of EP457 is anticipated to be acquired before
November 2013 and data processing completed by December 2013. The survey of EP458 is anticipated to be
acquired in November 2013 and data processing completed by February 2014. Data will be used to define targets
for a potential 2014 drilling campaign.
There are three major targets within the Fitzroy Blocks:
• The Ungani conventional oil trend
• The Laurel Basin Centred Gas Accumulation, conventional and unconventional gas
• The Goldwyer oil and gas unconventional shale.
The Ungani Trend includes identified leads and prospects in an area of prospectivity being at least 120 kms by
40 kms (+ one million acres). This extends fully across the Fitzroy Blocks. The conventional dolomite reservoir
oil discovery by Buru in 2011 at Ungani (located 15 km north west of EP457) on the trend running through the
Fitzroy Blocks is a significant regional discovery event.
Although Prospective (recoverable) Resources of the Laurel Formation within the Fitzroy Blocks have not
been assessed by drilling to date, the formation clearly extends across part of the Fitzroy Blocks. A wet gas
accumulation has been identified immediately east of the Fitzroy Blocks, which has the characteristics of a
Basin Centred Gas Accumulation.
The Goldwyer Shale Formation is characterised as a thick, regionally extensive organic rich “Bakken” shale
analogue. The play type is regarded as highly prospective and clearly extends across part of the Fitzroy Blocks,
although is believed to be at considerable depth.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013THERMAL COAL
The Duchess Paradise Project is a slot/highwall mine proposal for the mining and export of up to 2.5 million
tonnes per annum of bituminous thermal coal, on which a positive Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) was
completed at the end of June 2011. The Project is well situated to feed the Asian market for Australian coal for
power generation.
The proposed mine is situated on pastoral land about 175 km by road south-east of Derby in Western Australia’s
Canning Basin. The Duchess Paradise Project is proposed to include a slot/highwall mine, a coal handling and
preparation plant, support infrastructure and about 30 km of access road to the Great Northern Highway. Coal
will be trucked along existing highways to an Export Facility at the existing Derby Port for loading onto barges
and transhipment to export vessels.
During a challenging period in coal markets and for raising finance by junior developers, Rey took the decisive
step to sell the Duchess Paradise Project. On 1 July 2013, the Company announced it had entered into an
agreement with Crystal Yield Investments Limited (“Crystal”) to sell the Project by way of a staged acquisition
as set out below:
• Stage 1
– A$3 million on signing the Share Sale Agreement (received in July 2013)
• Stage 2
– A$9.6 million upon satisfactory completion of due diligence by Crystal, upon which Crystal
will acquire a 60% interest in Blackfin Pty Ltd (Rey’s wholly owned subsidiary that houses
the Project)
• Stage 3
– A$8.4 million on the grant of the Mining Lease (upon which Crystal will acquire a further 40%
interest in Blackfin, taking its total interest in Blackfin’s shares to 100%).
8
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Rey received shareholder support for the proposed sale at the extraordinary general meeting held on 30 August
2013. While Crystal undertakes due diligence in order to satisfy itself to conclude Stage 2 of the Project sale
transaction, Rey is continuing to progress the primary permitting process for the Project.
The Company also continues to maintain dialogue with representatives of the Aboriginal Traditional Owners
regarding their native title interest in the Project area, and to ensure that benefits from the Project such as
employment and business development opportunities provide value to local communities.
EXPLORATION
Rey holds a number of other coal tenements in the Canning Basin.
A short drilling program in late 2012 demonstrated the presence of coal at Freney to the south of the Fitzroy
River and at Camballin North, to the north of the river. It is intended to follow up these intercepts and bring in a
strategic partner to help fund future exploration in the region.
The objectives of the program for the 2013 drill season are to expand the Company’s coal inventory with the
following activities:
• Follow up the coal discovered at Freney with additional reconnaissance
• Scope out the coal in the Mount Fenton region
• Confirm the occurrence of coal in the Camballin North and Victory regions.
Discussions are underway with a party interested in funding this year’s exploration program through an earn-in
to certain exploration leases.

to management. The central role of the Board is to oversee and approve the Company’s strategic direction, to
select and appoint a Managing Director, to oversee the Company’s management and business activities and
report to shareholders.
In addition to matters required by law to be approved by the Board, the following powers are reserved to the
Board for decision:
• Strategy – providing strategic oversight and approving strategic plans and initiatives
• Board performance and composition – evaluating the performance of Non-executive Directors, and
determining the size and composition of the Board as well as recommending to shareholders the
appointment and removal of Directors
• Leadership selection – evaluating the performance of, and selection of, the Managing Director and those
executives reporting directly to the Managing Director

its responsibilities as set out in the Board Charter.
The Board also recognises its responsibilities to Rey Resources’ employees, the communities and environments
within which Rey Resources operates and, where relevant, other stakeholders.
Responsibility for management of Rey Resources’ business activities is delegated to the Managing Director who
is accountable to the Board.
The Board Charter is available in the corporate charters section of Rey Resources’ website.
(c) Director Independence
The independence of a Director will be assessed by determining whether the Director is independent of
management and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could
reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.
Mr Kevin Wilson is not regarded as independent due to his executive responsibilities. Ms Min Yang and Mr
Geoff Baker are not regarded as independent as they are also Directors of ASF Group Limited, which holds a
relevant interest in approximately 20.5 per cent of the Company’s issued capital. Mr Dachun Zhang is regarded
as independent.
Notwithstanding that the current composition of the Board does not meet the requirements of ASX Principle
2 as a majority of the Directors are not independent, the Board considers that the composition of the Board is
adequate for the Company’s current size and operations, and includes an appropriate mix of skills and expertise,
relevant to the Company’s business. The Board has formed the view that the individuals on the Board can, and
do make quality judgments in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues.
15
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013(d)
Chairman
The Board elects one of the Non-executive Directors to be Chairman. The Chairman is responsible for leadership
of the Board, for the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board’s function, and for the promotion of
relations between Board members and between Board and management that are open, cordial and conducive
to productive co-operation.
Non-executive Director, Ms Min Yang, has served as Non-executive Chairman since 28 January 2013. As
noted above, Ms Min Yang is not regarded as independent as she is also a Director of ASF Group Limited.
Notwithstanding that Ms Yang is not regarded as independent, the Board considers that the current Chair
possesses an appropriate level of expertise for the role and can and does make quality judgments in the best
interests of the Company on all relevant issues.
(e)
Directors’ Retirement and Re-election
Rey Resources’ Constitution states that no Director (other than a Managing Director) may retain office (without
election) for more than three years or past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment,
whichever is the longer.
Any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy since the date of the previous annual general meeting must
submit themselves to shareholders for election at the next annual general meeting. Directors who retire as
required may offer themselves for re-election by shareholders. Re-appointment of Directors retiring by rotation
or filling a casual vacancy is not automatic.
Mr Zhang will seek re-election as a Director in accordance with the Company’s Constitution at the annual
general meeting to be held in November 2013.
(f)
Board Succession Planning
The Board reviews the size and composition of the Board and the mix of existing and desired competencies
across members from time to time.
(g)
Board Performance Evaluation
The Board undertakes ongoing self-assessment and review of the performance of the Board and individual
Directors at least every two years. The Chairman of the Board is responsible for determining the process for
evaluating Board performance.
The performance of the Board was not formally reviewed during the 2013 financial year. As three of the current
four Directors have been appointed to the Board for less than one year, the next review of performance is
expected to take place in the 2014 financial year.
(h) Nominations and Appointment of New Directors
Recommendations for nomination of new Directors are considered and approved by the Board as a whole.
(i)
Professional Advice
Directors may, in carrying out their Company-related duties, seek external professional advice. If external
professional advice is sought, a Director is entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable costs where such a
request for advice is approved by the Chairman. In the case of a request made by the Chairman, approval is
required by at least two Board members.
16
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013(j)
Conflicts of Interest
Directors are required to disclose any actual or potential conflict or material personal interests on appointment
as a Director and are required to keep these disclosures up to date.
In the event that there is, or may be, a conflict between the personal or other interests of a Director, then the
Director with an actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to a matter before the Board does not receive
the Board papers relating to that matter. When the matter comes before the Board for discussion, unless the
non-conflicted Directors resolve otherwise, the Director withdraws from the meeting for the period the matter
is considered and takes no part in the discussion or decision making process.
(k)
Terms of Appointment, Induction Training and Continuing Education
All new Directors are provided with a formal letter of appointment setting out the key terms and conditions of
the appointment, including duties, rights and responsibilities, the time commitment envisaged and the Board’s
expectations regarding their involvement with committee work.
An induction is provided to all new Directors. It includes comprehensive meetings with the Managing Director,
key executives and management, and information on key corporate and Board policies.
All Directors are expected to maintain the skills required to discharge their obligations to the Company. Directors
are encouraged to undertake continuing professional education and where this involves industry seminars and
approved education courses, this is paid for by the Company where appropriate.

(m) Board Meetings
The Managing Director sets the agenda for each meeting in conjunction with the Chairman and the Company
Secretary. Any Director may request additional matters be added to the agenda. Members of Senior Management
attend meetings of the Board by invitation and sessions are also held for Non-executive Directors to meet
without management present.

• Rey Resources’ accounting practices are comprehensive, relevant and comply with applicable accounting
standards and policies

a previous audit partner in the audit service for two years following their rotation.
The Audit and Risk Committee oversees the terms of engagement of Rey Resources’ external auditor, including
provisions directed at maintaining the independence of the external auditor and in assessing whether the
provision of any proposed non-audit services by the external auditor is appropriate.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL
(a)
Approach to Risk Management
The Board and Senior Executives are responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Company’s Risk
Oversight Policy.
The Company’s approach to risk management is based on the identification, assessment, monitoring and
management of material risks embedded in its business and management systems.
(b)
Risk Management Roles and Responsibilities
The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that
the group’s objectives and activities are aligned with those risks and opportunities.
The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are
aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include:
• The Board receives regular updates on key risks associated with the development of the Company’s projects
• The implementation of Board-approved annual operating budgets and plans which are continually
monitored against the actual cost and progress
• Ensuring the Executive Management team is responsible for developing policies, processes and procedures
to identify risks and mitigation strategies in Rey Resources’ activities.
The Company’s Risk Oversight Policy is available on the corporate policies section of Rey Resources’ website.
20
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013(c) Managing Director and Financial Controller Assurance on Corporate Reporting
The Board receives monthly management reports on the financial condition and operational results of Rey
Resources.
The Managing Director and Financial Controller provide, at the end of each half yearly period, a formal statement
confirming that the Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, and
the group’s financial condition and operational results have been prepared in accordance with the relevant
accounting standards.
The statement also confirms the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and notes to the financial
statements are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which
implements the policies approved by the Board, and that Rey Resources’ risk management and internal
compliance and control systems, to the extent they relate to financial reporting, are operating efficiently and
effectively in all material respects.

PROMOTING ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR
(a)
Occupational Health and Safety
The Board recognises the importance of maintaining the highest possible standards of Occupational Health and
Safety in the conduct of Rey Resources’ business operations, and is committed to providing a safe and secure
working environment for its employees, contractors, visitors and host communities. A Sustainability Committee
was established to assist the Board in the effective discharge of its responsibilities in relation to safety, health,
environment and community issues and the risks relating to these issues. The committee charter was approved
by the Board in July 2012.
As noted above, from November 2013 the full Board has undertaken the duties of the Sustainability Committee
as per the existing committee charter.
The 2013 Health and Safety objectives are focused on creating a healthy work environment, keeping our people
safe and improving our compliance. Health, Safety and Environment Management reporting ensures that the

21
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013(c)
Code of Conduct
The Board has approved a Code of Conduct that applies to Directors, management and staff which describes the
standards of ethical behaviour that Directors and employees are required to maintain.
Compliance with the Code of Conduct will also assist Rey Resources in effectively managing its operating risks
and meeting its legal and compliance obligations.
A copy of the Code of Conduct is available in the corporate policies section of Rey Resources’ website.
(d)
Ethical Behaviour
With the relatively small employee base at this stage of the Company’s development, management is charged
with the responsibility of ensuring all employees are committed to maintaining an open working environment
in which employees are able to report instances of unsafe work practices, unethical, unlawful or undesirable
conduct without fear of intimidation or reprisal.
(e)
Securities Trading Policy
Rey Resources’ Securities Trading Policy is binding on all Directors and employees. This policy provides a brief
summary of the law on insider trading and other relevant laws, sets out the restrictions on dealing in securities
by people who work for or who are associated with Rey Resources, and is intended to assist in maintaining
market confidence in the integrity of dealings in the Company’s securities.
The policy stipulates that the only appropriate time for a Director or employee to deal in the Company’s
securities is when he or she is not in possession of ‘price sensitive information’ that is not generally available
to the share market. A Director wishing to deal in the Company’s securities may only do so after first having
received approval from the Chairman. All staff wishing to deal must obtain approval from the Managing Director.
Confirmation of any dealing must also be given by the Director or employee to the Company Secretary within
two business days after the dealing.
Trading in the Company’s securities is also subject to specified blackout periods, which are set out in the
Company’s Securities Trading Policy or as otherwise determined by the Board from time to time.
The Company prohibits directors and employees from entering into transactions in associated products which
limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity-based remuneration schemes.
A copy of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy is available in the corporate policies section of Rey Resources’
website.

(b)
Shareholder Communications and Participation
Rey Resources is committed to giving all shareholders comprehensive, timely and equal access to information

the general and continuous disclosure principles of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001.
This includes reporting on a quarterly basis the activities and prospects of the Company

Rey Resources Annual Report 20137
DIVERSITY
The Company is committed to developing a diverse workforce and providing a work environment in which all
employees are treated fairly and with respect. To this end, the Company has in place an Employee Policy which
details its commitment to being an equal opportunity employer. The Board has also adopted a Diversity Policy
in accordance with ASX Principle 3. The Diversity Policy outlines the Company’s commitment to fostering a
corporate culture that embraces diversity and recognises the benefits arising from employee and Board
diversity, including a broader pool of high quality employees, improving employee retention, accessing different
perspectives and ideas and benefiting from all available talent. A copy of the Diversity Policy is available in the
corporate policies section of the Rey Resources’ website.
Given the small size of the Company and its current stage of operations, the Board has opted not to establish
measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and as a result has not assessed such objectives or the
Company’s progress towards achieving them. However the Board is pleased to report that in addition to having
one female Director, (Ms Min Yang as Chairman), the Company has a number of women who undertake work
on a contracted or casual basis including a Financial Controller, Company Secretary and Occupational Health
and Safety Manager.
To provide an accurate reflection of the proportion of women across the whole organisation, the Company has
opted to include contractors as well as casual and part-time employees in the below percentages, which show
the proportion of women in the organisation as at the date of this Annual Report:

Rey Resources Annual Report 20136
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED
This Remuneration Report outlines the Director and Executive remuneration arrangements for Rey Resources
Limited in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. The information
in the report has been audited as required by Section 308(3C) of the Act.
6.1 Principles of compensation
For the purpose of this report key management personnel (“KMP”) are defined as those persons having authority
and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly
or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company. The officers listed under KMP
below are included in the report. The report will provide an explanation of Rey Resources Limited’s remuneration
policy and structure, details of remuneration paid to KMP (including Directors), an analysis of the relationship between
company performance and executive remuneration payments, details of share-based payments, key terms of
executive employment contracts and details of independent external advice received in relation to KMP remuneration.

Remuneration policy
Non-executive Chairman (appointed 13 September 2012)
Non-executive Director (appointed 13 September 2012)
Non-executive Chairman (resigned 22 November 2012)
Non-executive Director (resigned 28 November 2012)

General Manager – Duchess Paradise Project (appointed KMP 20 March 2013)
The successful performance of the Company is dependent on the quality and performance of Directors and
Executives, so the focus of the remuneration policy is to attract, retain and motivate highly competent people to
these roles.
Four broad principles govern the remuneration strategy of the Company:
1
2
3
4
To set demanding levels of performance for senior management and to align their remuneration with the
achievement of clearly defined targets.
To provide market competitive remuneration and conditions in the current market for high quality
Directors and Executives, particularly in Western Australia.
To align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value and the achievement of company strategy,
objectives and performance.
To be able to differentiate reward based on performance, in particular acknowledging the contribution of
outstanding performers.
35
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
The Company seeks to provide fixed remuneration at the median level of the markets in which it competes for
talent, and to provide the opportunity for a higher than median level of variable reward for those individuals who
make an outstanding contribution to the success of the business.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for advising the Board on matters relating to
the remuneration of the Directors, Senior Executives and employees of the Company, including making
recommendations in relation to the remuneration framework of the Company and the fees and remuneration
paid to Directors and Executives.
The Committee seeks independent remuneration advice from time to time, and refers to relevant market survey
data for the purposes of external comparison. Further details have been included in section 6.4.
Hedging policy
The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits all Directors and employees from entering into arrangements
to protect the value of unvested Long-term Incentive (“LTI”) awards. The prohibition includes entering into
contracts to hedge their exposure to unvested share rights and options awarded as part of their remuneration
package.
Executive remuneration components
Executive remuneration is structured so that it supports the key remuneration principles outlined above, and
is intended to motivate Executives towards achievement of the annual objectives and longer term success of
the Company. A Total Fixed Remuneration (“TFR”) is paid which considers external market comparisons and
individual performance. Performance linked compensation is available through the short-term and long-term
incentive plans outlined below.
Fixed remuneration
Executives receive an annualised TFR from which they must have deducted statutory superannuation. They
may elect to salary sacrifice further superannuation contributions and other benefits such as a motor vehicle.
Accommodation assistance and medical insurance may be provided for employees from overseas or interstate
where it is necessary to be able to attract key talent. A review of TFR is undertaken each year and reflects
market movements and individual performance.
Short-term incentive
The objective of the short-term incentive (“STI”) plan is to align the achievement of the Company’s annual
targets with the performance of those Executives who have key responsibility for achieving those targets. The
participant in the plan is currently the Managing Director.
In the year ended 30 June 2013, the Managing Director was eligible for a cash payment of up to 40% of his TFR
for meeting established targets for a number of key business measures, including completion of key project
milestones, executing funding strategies, business and organisation development, increasing resource status
and improving safety performance. A strategic shift away from advancing the more advanced coal project and
towards oil and gas exploration was effected during the year and project development targets aligned with the
advancement of the coal project were not met due to this strategic shift. As a result there is no STI payable to
the Managing Director.
Long-term incentive
Executives are eligible to participate in the Rey Resources Limited Executive Incentive Rights Plan (“2011 EIRP”),
which replaced the 2010 Executive Incentive Rights Plan (“2010 EIRP”) and was approved at the 2011 Annual
36
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013General Meeting. The EIRP aligns the reward of the participants with the long-term creation of shareholder
value. The Managing Director and the General Manager – Duchess Paradise Project are eligible to participate
in the plan.
Both the 2011 EIRP and 2010 EIRP enable participants to be granted rights to acquire shares subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions. Subject to adjustments for any bonus issues of shares and capital
reorganisations, one share will be issued on the exercise of each right which vests or becomes exercisable. No
amount is payable by employees in respect of the grant or exercise of rights.
The EIRP forms an important component of the total remuneration of the Managing Director. A number of rights
provided are based on 50% of TFR. The allocated rights are then subject to a three year vesting period which
requires achievement of a compound annual growth in Total Shareholder Return hurdle for the vesting period,
and where relevant achievement of additional performance conditions. The proportion to vest increases from
25% at a 10% compound annual growth rate, to 100% for achieving greater than 20% compound annual growth.
The vesting condition may be retested one year after the three year vesting period.
Relationship between Company performance and remuneration
The objective of the Company’s remuneration structure is to reward and incentivise the Executives so as to
ensure alignment with the interests of the shareholders. The remuneration structure also seeks to reward
Executives for their contribution in a manner that is appropriate for a company at this stage of its development.
As outlined elsewhere in this Report, the remuneration structure incorporates fixed, annual at risk and long-
term incentive components.
For shareholders, the key measure of value is TSR. Other than general market conditions, the key drivers of
value for the Company and a summary of performance are provided in the table following.
At this stage in the development of the Company, successful execution of the above drivers is the mechanism
through which shareholder wealth will be created.
The only relevant financial measure at this point is share price for which the history is presented below. Absolute
TSR performance is the basis for long-term incentive awards under the EIRP. For information an index showing
movement of four comparator companies over the same period is provided.

comparator index is currently not used to measure remuneration but may be adjusted for relevance to the new strategic direction of
the Company and used in the future reporting periods.
Non-executive Director fees
The policy on Non-executive Director (NED) fees is to apply a remuneration framework in order to attract and retain
highly capable NEDs and also in accordance with governance best practice. A fixed annual fee is paid in cash.
An aggregate fee limit for NED fees of $400,000 was approved at the 2010 Annual General Meeting and no
change is currently proposed.
Non-executive Director fees comprise a fixed annual fee plus committee fees, with no participation in any
performance rights plan.

Non-executive Directors are engaged by a letter of appointment for a term as stated in the constitution of the
Company. They are able to resign from office with reasonable notice to the Chairman. Non-executive Directors
receive annual fees. There are no post-employment benefits other than statutory superannuation.
6.5 Remuneration Consultant
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee seeks advice on remuneration matters for the KMP and Non-
executive Directors from independent external advisors. Such advisors are appointed and directly engaged by
the Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
During the 2011-2012 year the board engaged CRHR, a strategic human resources advisory business, to provide
advice on the remuneration structure for KMP, including development of a short-term incentive plan. Under this
engagement CRHR provided remuneration recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act
2001 and was paid $15,221 for these services. CRHR was also engaged to provide support on matters related to
preparation of the 2012 Remuneration Report, development of remuneration structure for all employees, and
undertaking a board performance review and other strategic human resource advice for fees totalling $31,309.
During the 2012-2013 year the Board engaged CRHR, a strategic human resources advisory business, to
provide advice on the remuneration and superannuation. Under this engagement CRHR provided remuneration
recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 and was paid $20,300 for these services.
The Board is satisfied that the remuneration recommendations were made free from any undue influence by the
members of the KMP to whom the recommendations related, and that all recommendations were made to the
Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Rey Resources Annual Report 20137
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of Rey Resources is exploring and developing energy resources in Western Australia’s
Canning Basin. The Company holds coal exploration assets and a 25% interest in the highly prospective
petroleum permits (EP457 & 458) in joint venture with Buru Energy Limited and Mitsubishi Corporation.
8
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year, Rey Resources continued its strategy of exploring and developing energy resources in Western
Australia’s Canning Basin by progressing both its oil and gas, and coal assets.
Oil and gas
In addition to its existing 10% interest, on 18 March 2013, Rey Resources agreed to acquire an additional 15%
interest in Exploration Permits EP457 and EP458 (“the Fitzroy Blocks”), from a wholly owned subsidiary of Buru
Energy Limited (“Buru”) (ASX: BRU) for $6.017 million. The Fitzroy Blocks are located in the highly prospective
Canning Basin in the northwest of Western Australia.
On 23 May 2013, final approval for the transaction by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum
and the Foreign Investment Review Board was received and the equity interest in each Permit is:
• Rey
• Buru
25%
(including 10% free carried to production)
37.5%
(operator)
• Diamond Resources (Fitzroy)
37.5% (100% subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation)
During the period, Buru, as operator, reviewed the geology and prospectivity of the Fitzroy Blocks with a view
to undertaking an on-ground exploration program over some of the prospects already identified, with a view to
drilling exploration wells on the Ungani Trend and the other highly prospective areas in the Fitzroy Blocks as
soon as practicable. In August 2013, Buru announced it would undertake a 2D seismic survey on the Ungani
Trend including 593 km in the Fitzroy Block permits in late 2013.
Strategically, the acquisition of the additional 15% interest is regarded by the Directors as an important
transaction which will enable the Company to transition into a diversified energy company.
As a result of the 10% free-carried interest, Rey will only be required to fund 16.7% of the capital expenditure
requirements as part of future exploration drilling and development programmes.
Coal
Rey’s thermal coal tenements are also located in Western Australia’s Canning Basin and are partly contiguous
with the Fitzroy Blocks.
Duchess Paradise Project
The Duchess Paradise Project (“Project”) is situated on pastoral land about 175 km by road south east of
Derby in Western Australia’s Canning Basin. The Project comprises a proposed low-impact slot mine, a coal-
handling and preparation plant, support infrastructure and an access road of about 30 km to connect with
the Great Northern Highway. The Project does not directly impact on any known environmental or heritage
protection areas.
During the year, environmental evaluation and the permitting process for the Project continued, as did
consultation with key stakeholders.
42
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
On 30 June 2013, Rey entered into an agreement with Crystal Yield Investments Limited (“Crystal”) to sell the
Project for $21 million by way of a staged acquisition by Crystal of all of the issued shares in Blackfin Pty Ltd
(“Blackfin”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Rey Resources (“Transaction”).
The staged Transaction is payable as follows, in accordance with a share sale agreement between Rey and
Crystal dated 30 June 2013 (“Share Sale Agreement”):
• Stage 1
– A$3 million on signing the Share Sale Agreement. These funds were received by Rey Resources
in early July;
• Stage 2
– A$9.6 million upon satisfactory completion of due diligence by Crystal, upon which Crystal will
acquire a 60% interest in Blackfin. Crystal has now commenced a detailed due diligence; and
• Stage 3
– A$8.4 million on the grant of the Mining Lease (upon which Crystal will acquire a further 40%
interest in Blackfin, taking its total interest in Blackfin’s shares to 100%).
If due diligence by Crystal is not successfully completed by 31 December 2013, the A$3 million Stage 1 payment
will be used to subscribe for shares in Rey, issued at a 10% premium to VWAP of the 30-trading day period
preceding the date of the Share Sale Agreement. In this case, the Transaction would not proceed and Rey
Resources will retain its current interest in Blackfin and the Project.
If the Mining Lease is granted later than 31 December 2014, the Stage 3 payment amount will be $8.4 million
less $10,000 for each day following 31 December 2014, until the Mining Lease is granted.
Rey Resources and Crystal also entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement with respect to Blackfin that will come
into effect on completion of Stage 2. The Shareholders’ Agreement sets out the terms and conditions upon which
the parties have agreed to control and manage Blackfin and its subsidiaries for the period that Crystal holds
a 60% interest and Rey a 40% interest in Blackfin. On 30 August 2013, shareholders approved the Transaction.
Other coal projects within Canning Basin
In addition to the Duchess Paradise Project, Rey has interests in a number of coal exploration licenses in the
Canning Basin, Western Australia and planning for the 2013 drilling season took place in the second half of
the 2013 financial year. Heritage clearance field surveys were undertaken in late April 2013 and other final
approvals are awaited. The objective of the program is to expand the Company’s coal inventory with the following
activities: follow up the coal discovered at Freney in 2012; scope out the coal in the Mount Fenton region; and
confirm the occurrence of coal in the Victory region.
Discussions were underway at year end with a party interested in funding this year’s exploration program
through an earn-in to certain of the exploration leases.
Corporate
During the year, Rey raised a total of $13.825 million.
In September 2012, ASF Group Limited (“ASF”) became the largest investor in Rey Resources on the completion
of a share placement of 90 million Rey shares at 12.0 cents per share to raise $10.8 million before costs.
Following this transaction, ASF and its associates held 115 million Rey shares, comprising approximately 20.5
per cent of the equity in the Company.
In March 2013, a further placement of 55 million Rey shares was undertaken to Crystal at 5.5 cents per share to
raise $3.025 million before costs.
A further $3 million before costs was raised in July 2013 on signing of the Share Sale Agreement with Crystal

ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURE
The Group’s operations are subject to various laws governing the protection of the environment in areas such

INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE
During the financial year, the Company paid a premium to insure the Directors and officers of the Company
against liabilities incurred in the performance of their duties. Under the terms and conditions of the insurance
contract, the premium paid cannot be disclosed.
The officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include any person acting in the course of duties for
the Company who is, or was, a Director, Company Secretary or Senior Manager within the Company.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be
brought against the officers, in their capacity as officers, of the Company, and any other payments arising from
liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities
that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of
their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the
Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal
costs and those relating to other liabilities.

17 PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
At the date of this report, there are no leave applications or proceedings brought on behalf of the Company
under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.
18 ROUNDING
The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that
Class Order 98/100, amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and Directors’ Report have been
rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
19 NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in relation to tax advisory and
compliance in addition to their statutory duties, refer to note 26.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the
provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise,
the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2011 for the following reasons:
• All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and
have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of
the auditor
• The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence
as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or
auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting
as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
20 AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
The auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 47 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the
financial year ended 30 June 2013.

51
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1
REPORTING ENTITY
Rey Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s
registered office is 1121 Hay Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005. The consolidated financial statements
of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together
referred to as “Rey Resources” or the “Group”). The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in
mineral exploration and mineral project evaluation.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a)
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Interpretations) adopted by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”), and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and interpretations adopted
by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies detailed below have been
consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 16 September
2013.
(b)
Going concern
The Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates the
realisation of assets and payment of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group has incurred a loss for the year of $7.7 million (2012: $8.9 million). At 30 June 2013 the Group has a
positive working capital balance of $23.3 million (2012: $3.4 million), which includes the carrying value of the
Duchess Paradise Project of $20.4 million. The Group entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Crystal Yield
Investments Limited (“Crystal”) on 30 June 2013 to sell, via a staged process, 100% of the shares in Blackfin Pty
Limited (“Blackfin”), the subsidiary that holds tenements in the Duchess Paradise Project. The receipt of the
full sale proceeds from this transaction are contingent on the following events but is considered highly probable
by the Directors:
• Stage 1 – A$3 million on signing the Share Sale Agreement. These funds were received by Rey Resources in
early July and will be converted to shares in Rey Resources Limited if the sale does not progress;
• Stage 2 – A$9.6 million upon satisfactory completion of due diligence by Crystal, upon which Crystal will
acquire a 60% interest in Blackfin. Crystal have now commenced a due diligence; and
• Stage 3 – A$8.4 million on the grant of the Mining Lease (which may not occur within 12 months of balance
date) upon which Crystal will acquire a further 40% interest in Blackfin, taking its total interest in
Blackfin’s shares to 100%.
The receipt of these funds are required to support the planned exploration program, including remaining
coal exploration and Fitzroy Blocks oil and gas activities. Should the receipt of these funds not eventuate,
52
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Notes to financial statements
(continued)
the Directors will consider other potential funding options, including alternative sale options for the Duchess
Paradise Project, curtailment of discretionary expenditure or capital raisings to enable the Company to continue
to repay its debts as and when they fall due. On this basis, the Directors are confident that the going concern
basis for preparation remains appropriate. (refer note 25).
(c)
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
(d)
Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional
currency.
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that
Class Order, all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand
unless otherwise stated.
(e)
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of
assets, 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 estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Other information about assumptions, estimates and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that
have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the
following notes:
Note 6
– recoverability of tax losses
Note 21
– key assumptions in determining the fair value of share based payments.
Note 12
– ultimate recoupment of carried forward exploration expenditure.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Group.
3
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Rey Resources Limited and its
subsidiaries:
(i)
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group’s parent entity. Control refers to the power of governing
the operating and financial policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Control is
presumed when the parent acquires more than half of the voting rights of the entity. The financial
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that
control commences until the date that control ceases.
53
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(ii)
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and expenses on transactions between
companies of the consolidated entity are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(iii) Loss of control
On the loss of control, the Group de-recognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-
controlling interests and the other components of enquiry related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit
arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous
subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently that
retained interest is accounted for as an equity accounts investee or as an available-for-sale financial
asset (see note p(i)) depending on the level of influence retained.
(iv)
Jointly controlled operations
A jointly controlled operation is a joint venture carried on by each venturer using its own assets in pursuit
of the joint operations. The consolidated financial statements include the assets that the group controls
and the liabilities that it incurs in the course of pursuing the joint operation, and the expenses that the
Group incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the joint operation.
(b)
Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Australian dollars being the functional currencies of Group
entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that
date. The foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.
(c)
Non derivative financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the
purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
(i)
Non-derivative financial assets
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. The
Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire,
or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in
which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method, less any impairment losses.
Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three
months or less.
54
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are
originated. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged
or cancelled or expire.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial
position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to
settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings and trade and other payables.
(iii) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary
shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(d)
Property, plant and equipment
(i)
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-
constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable
to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and
removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of
that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for
as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by
comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and
are recognised net within other income/other expenses in profit or loss.
(ii)
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the
carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the
component will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the
replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are
recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual
assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset,
that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each
component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter
of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership
by the end of the lease term.
55
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
The estimated depreciation rates for the current and comparative years are as follows:
Class of Fixed Asset
Depreciation Rate
Plant and equipment
20 – 40%
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if
appropriate.
(e)
Exploration and development assets
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable
area of interest.
At the end of each reporting period, the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for
impairment. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through
the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits
reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the
decision to abandon the area is made.
When 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.
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.
Costs of the site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and
are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining
plants, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with
clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal
requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for costs are accounted
on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and
extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been
determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
(f)
Impairment
(i)
Non-derivative financial assets
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to
determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective
evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the
loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated
reliably.
Loans and receivables and held-to maturity securities
In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing
of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether
current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less
than suggested by historical trends.
56
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the
difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted
at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in
an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised
through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss
to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.
(g)
Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to
balance sheet date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at
the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-cost. Employee benefits payable
later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made
for those benefits.
(i)
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the
related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term
cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this
amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(ii)
Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an
employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees
unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to
reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are
expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number
of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For
share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based
payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected
and actual outcomes.
(h)
Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances 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 in the balance
sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(i)
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other
comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
57
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not
recognised for:
• temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss
• temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities
to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future taxable temporary
differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they
reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred
tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
the related tax benefit will be realised.
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a
consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the
tax-consolidated group is Rey Resources Limited. Current income tax expense / benefit, deferred tax liabilities
and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group
are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the
‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.
(j)
Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per
share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders
and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options and share performance rights granted
to employees.
(k)
Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of
the Group’s other components. All operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Operating
Decision maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of
the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment,
and intangible assets other than goodwill.
58
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(l)
Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
(m) Finance income and finance costs
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending
on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.
(n)
Determination of fair values
Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of the Directors’ performance rights is measured using Monte Carlo Sampling. The fair value of
the executive rights is measured with reference to the share price at grant date. The fair value of the employee
share options are measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on
measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic
volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life
of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends,
and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions
attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.
(o) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
In the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations
issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised
Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet
effective for the year ended 30 June 2013. The standard that may be relevant to the Group is set out below. The
Group does not plan to adopt this standard early.
AASB 11: Joint Arrangements
Under AASB 11, the structure of the joint arrangement, although still an important consideration, is no longer
the main factor in determining the type of joint arrangement and therefore the subsequent accounting:
• The Group’s interest in a joint operation, which is an arrangement in which the parties have rights to the
assets and obligations for the liabilities, will be accounted for on the basis of the Group’s interest in those
assets and liabilities.
• The Group’s interest in a joint venture, which is an arrangement in which the parties have rights to the net
assets, will be equity accounted.
The Group is yet to consider the impact of AASB11 and the impact of accounting for those joint venture interests
disclosed at note 20.
59
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(p) Assets held for sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it
highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.
Immediately before classification as held-for-sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured
in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group,
are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair values less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on
a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on a pro-rata basis,
except that no loss is allocated to financial assets, deferred tax assets, and employee benefit assets, which
continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial
classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or
loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised
or depreciated.

At 30 June 2013, the Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $40,567,766 (2012: $47,041,766) that are
available indefinitely for offset against future taxable income. The Group has not recognised a deferred tax asset
in relation to these tax losses (other than an offset to the deferred tax liability) as realisation of the benefit is not
regarded as probable.

The ultimate recoupment of balances carried forward in relation to areas of interest still in the exploration or
evaluation phase is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale of
the respective areas.
Tenements where tenure is not intended to be continued have been fully impaired as at 30 June 2013. Accordingly
an impairment loss of $576,000 has been recognised in the financial statements along with an impairment of
the Duchess Paradise Project of $3,527,000 to record its value as expected proceeds less costs to sell (refer
Note 7).
Blackfin Pty Ltd (“Blackfin”), a subsidiary of the Company, lodged applications for exemption from expenditure
in relation to 11 of its exploration licences (E04/1515-1518, E04/1520-1525 and E04/1529) (“Exploration
Licences”) for the 2009 expenditure year. Mineralogy Pty Ltd (“Mineralogy”) lodged objections to the applications
for exemption from expenditure and forfeiture applications affecting the Exploration Licences (“Mineralogy
66
Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Notes to financial statements
(continued)
Proceedings”). While the Exploration Licences cover areas of strategic interest to Rey Resources, they do not
relate to Rey Resource’s Duchess Paradise Project.
By the exemption applications, Blackfin claims that it is entitled to be exempt from incurring the required
expenditure amount associated with the Exploration Licences on various grounds. Following the hearing of the
exemption applications the Warden will recommend, and the Minister will determine, the grant or refusal of the
certificates of exemption from expenditure.
By the forfeiture applications, Mineralogy is claiming that Blackfin has failed to comply with the expenditure
obligations associated with the Exploration Licences, and such failure is of sufficient gravity to justify forfeiture of
the Exploration Licences. The Warden may also make a recommendation to the Minister who will subsequently
determine the forfeiture applications.
Blackfin is defending the Mineralogy Proceedings in the Perth Wardens Court and they were heard by the Mining
Warden in May and July 2012. The Warden’s recommendations to the Minister with respect to the Exemption
Applications and the Forfeiture Applications is to be delivered on 4 October 2013.
If Blackfin is not successful in obtaining the certificates of exemption the Exploration Licences will be at risk of
forfeiture, or Blackfin may be issued with a fine of up to $10,000 per tenement.
The carrying value of the exploration and evaluation expenditure at 30 June 2013 is $4,418,000
(2012: $3, 447,000) pertaining to the 11 tenements.

JOINT VENTURE INTERESTS
Joint venture agreements have been entered into with third parties. Details of joint venture agreements are
disclosed below.
Assets employed by these joint ventures and the Group’s expenditure in respect of them is brought to account
initially as capitalised exploration expenditure (Refer note 12) and recorded distinctly from capitalised exploration
costs incurred on the Group’s 100% owned projects.
Buru/Mitsubishi/Rey Joint Venture
On 18 March 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Buru Energy Limited and Mitsubishi Corporation
pursuant to which the Company acquired an additional 15% interest in exploration permits EP457 and EP458 in
the Canning Superbasin.
The interest in the two exploration permits known as “The Fitzroy Blocks” are:
• Buru Energy Limited
37.5% (operator)
• Mitsubishi Corporation
37.5%
• Rey Resources Limited
25% (of which a 10% interest is free carried to production).
Joint Ventures – financial results and carrying values
The total amount of the Group’s capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised and employed
under joint venture agreements at the reporting date is $6,218,220 (2012: nil) (note 12). During the reporting
period the Group recognised nil expense with regards to the joint venture.
21 SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
(a)
Description of the share-based payment arrangements
The Group has the following share-based payment arrangements:
Share option programme (equity-settled)
On 2 June 2006, the Group established a share option programme that entitles key management personnel
(KMP) to purchase shares in the Company. The plan is subject to ASX listing rules. In accordance with these
programmes, options are exercisable at the market price of the share at the date of the grant.
Share performance rights programme (equity-settled)
On 29 November 2010, the Group established a share performance rights programme. The 2010 Executive
Incentive Rights Plan (“2010 EIRP”) enables eligible participants to be granted rights to acquire shares subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Executives are also eligible to participate in the 2011 Executive Incentive Rights Plan (“2011 EIRP”), which
replaced the 2010 EIRP and was approved at the 2011 Annual General Meeting. The 2010 EIRP and 2011 EIRP
align the reward of the participants with the long-term creation of shareholder value as outlined below.
Both the 2011 EIRP and 2010 EIRP enable participants to be granted rights to acquire shares subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions. Subject to adjustments for any bonus issues of shares and capital
reorganisations, one share will be issued on the exercise of each right which vests or becomes exercisable. No
amount is payable by employees in respect of the grant or exercise of rights.
