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 2013CHAIRMAN’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 2013THERMAL 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 2013Rey 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.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AT REY RESOURCES

This statement reports on Rey Resources’ key governance principles, practices and framework as at the date 
of the 2013 Annual Report. These principles and practices are reviewed annually and revised as appropriate to 
reflect changes in law and good practice in corporate governance.

ASX PRINCIPLES OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Rey Resources, as a listed entity, must comply with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”), the 
Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) Listing Rules (“ASX Listing Rules”) and other Australian securities laws. 

ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires ASX listed companies to report on the extent to which they have followed the 
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments (“ASX Principles”) released by 
the ASX Corporate Governance Council. The ASX Principles require the Board to consider the development and 
adoption of appropriate corporate governance policies and practices founded on the ASX Principles.

COMPLIANCE WITH ASX PRINCIPLES OF GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Details of the Company’s compliance with the ASX Principles are set out below. A checklist, cross referencing 
the ASX Principles to the relevant section of this Statement and the Remuneration Report, is provided on pages 
25 to 27 of this Report and published on the Company’s website at www.reyresources.com.

1 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

(a) 

Board Composition and Expertise

The composition of the Board is reviewed at least annually to ensure the balance of skills and experience is 
appropriate.

The current Board comprises three Non-executive Directors, one of whom is independent, and one Executive 
Director, the Managing Director. The Board has a broad range of qualifications, with combined experience and 
expertise  in  the  resources,  exploration,  finance  and  legal  industries.  Details  on  each  Director’s  background 
including experience, knowledge and skills and their status as an independent or non-independent Director are 
set out on pages 30 to 33 of this Annual Report.

The  Board  considers  that  the  Non-executive  and  Executive  Directors  collectively  bring  the  range  of  skills, 
knowledge and experience necessary to direct the Company.

In assessing the composition of the Board, the Directors have regard to the following policies:

•  The Chairman should be a Non-executive Director

•  The role of the Chairman and Managing Director should not be filled by the same person

•  The Managing Director should be a full-time employee of the Company

•  The Board should include a majority of independent Non-executive Directors.

14

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013(b) 

Board Role and Responsibilities

The Board Charter outlines the matters that are reserved for the Board and those that the Board has delegated 
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

•  Corporate responsibility – considering the safety, ethical and environmental impacts of Rey Resources’ 
activities, and setting policy and monitoring compliance with safety and corporate policies and practices

•  Financial  performance  –  approving  Rey  Resources’  annual  operating  plans  and  budget,  monitoring 

management, financial and operational performance

•  Financial reports to shareholders – approving annual and half-year reports and disclosures to the market 
that contain, or relate to, financial projections, statements as to future financial performance or changes 
to the policy or strategy of the Company

•  Risk management – providing oversight of risk management and setting risk management policy

•  Establishing procedures – ensuring that the Board is in a position to exercise its power and to discharge 

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.

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.

Approach to Risk Management

The  Board  and  Senior  Executives  are  responsible  for  overseeing  the  implementation  of  the  Company’s  Risk 
Oversight Policy.

management of material risks embedded in its business and management systems.

aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include:

•  The  implementation  of  Board-approved  annual  operating  budgets  and  plans  which  are  continually 

monitored against the actual cost and progress

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.

5 

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 
Board has oversight of Rey Resources’ performance in this area.

The  Company’s  Occupational  Health  and  Safety  Policy  is  available  in  the  corporate  policies  section  of  Rey 
Resources’ website.

to ensure that the Company complies with environmental legislation.

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.

SHAREHOLDERS AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Rey Resources aims to produce positive outcomes for all stakeholders in managing its business and to maximise 
financial, social and environmental value from its activities.

In practice, this means having a commitment to transparency, fair dealing, responsible treatment of employees 
and customers, and positive links into the community.

Sustainable  and  responsible  business  practices  within  Rey  Resources  are  viewed  as  an  important  long-
term driver of performance and shareholder value. Through such practices, Rey Resources seeks to reduce 
operational and reputational risk and enhance operational efficiency while contributing to a more sustainable 
society.

(a) 

Continuous Disclosure

Rey Resources is committed to maintaining a level of disclosure that meets the highest standards and provides 
all investors with timely and equal access to information.

disclosure  requirements  and  outlines  management’s  accountabilities  and  the  processes  to  be  followed  for 
ensuring compliance. The policy also describes Rey Resources’ guiding principles for market communications.

website.

(b) 

Shareholder Communications and Participation

Rey Resources is committed to giving all shareholders comprehensive, timely and equal access to information 
about its activities so that they can make informed decisions. Similarly, prospective investors are entitled to be 
able to make informed investment decisions when considering the purchase of shares in Rey Resources.

A range of communication approaches are employed including direct communications with shareholders and 
presentations to shareholders at the Company’s AGM. Publication of all relevant Company information, including 
the  Company’s  annual  report,  can  be  found  in  the  shareholder  centre  section  of  Rey  Resources’  website  at 
www.reyresources.com

Rey  Resources  communicates  effectively  with  its  shareholders,  giving  them  timely  access  to  balanced  and 
understandable information about Rey Resources and encouraging shareholder participation at shareholder 
meetings. The way it does this includes:

•  Ensuring that financial reports are prepared in accordance with applicable laws

•  Ensuring the disclosure of full and timely information about Rey Resources’ activities in accordance with 
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

•  The Chairman and Managing Director reporting to shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting

•  Placing all market announcements (including quarterly reports and financial reports) on Rey Resources’ 

website as soon as practicable following release

Rey Resources Annual Report 20137 

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:

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.

2013 Key Management Personnel

The KMP of Rey Resources Limited during the year ended 30 June 2013 were:

Non Executive

Charlie Lenegan 
Ronnie Beevor

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) 
Non-executive Director (resigned 28 November 2012)  
Non-executive Director (resigned 22 November 2012)

Managing Director 
Executive Director – Strategy (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 2013General 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.

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.

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 
Yield Investments Limited.

 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.

45

Rey Resources Annual Report 201316  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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.

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

(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 2013Notes 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 2013Notes 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.

Tax consolidation

Rey Resources Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax-consolidated Group 
with effect from 1 July 2009. The first consolidated income tax return for the Group was filed for the tax year 
ended 30 June 2010. Rey Resources Limited is the head entity of the tax-consolidated group.

ASSET HELD FOR SALE

The Duchess Paradise Project is presented as an asset held for sale following the commitment of the Board on 
30 June 2013 to the sale of the project to Crystal Yield Investments Limited.

Sale of the project has begun and is expected to be finalised upon grant of the mining lease, as announced to 
the ASX on 1 July 2013.

An impairment loss of $3,527,000 on the remeasurement of the asset to the lower of its carrying value less costs 
to sell has been included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (see Note 12).

As at 30 June 2013, the asset held for sale disposal group comprised the following assets and liabilities:

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 2013Notes 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. 

72

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Notes to financial statements  
(continued)

The 2010 EIRP relates to the period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2013 with provision for a one year retest. The 2012 
EIRP, issued in November 2012, relates to the period 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2014 with provision for a one year 
retest. At the end of the measurement periods (either first or second), the following vesting scale will be applied 
to the share rights given to Executive Directors. This will be based on the compound annual growth rate over 
the relevant period. The retest of provision only applies if none of the share rights for Directors vest at the end 
of the First Test Period.

In  relation  to  the  share  rights  granted  to  the  executive  KMP,  the  Board  has  determined  the  service  and/or 
performance conditions that need to be satisfied for incentive rights to vest along with the relationship between 
the various potential levels of performance and levels of vesting that may occur. Performance conditions will be 
determined by the board for each tranche of each offer and may vary between offers.

Following the end of the measurement period, the Board will determine for each tranche of incentive rights to 
which the measurement period applies, the extent to which they vest. If the incentive rights in a tranche have 
not vested and there is no opportunity for those incentive rights to vest at a later date, they lapse.

Inputs for measurement of grant date fair values

The  grant  date  fair  value  of  the  rights  granted,  the  vesting  conditions  of  which  were  subject  to  the  Company’s 
absolute total shareholder return over the measurement period, was measured based on Monte Carlo simulation 
model. The grant date fair value of other share-based payments was measured based on the fair value of the shares 
on the grant date and for options issued fair value was measured based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. 

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the share-based payment plans, which were 
subject to the vesting conditions relating to the Company’s absolute total shareholder return are the following:

23  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Categories of financial instruments

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts receivable and payable.

accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:

in thousands of dollars

Financial risk management framework

2013 

418

2012 

967

The board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management 
framework. 

The Group does not use any form of derivatives for speculative purposes. The Group is not at a level of exposure 
that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure.

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are liquidity risk and market risk which 
includes interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

82

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Notes to financial statements  
(continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails 
to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, and trade 
and other receivables.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. 

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with 
banks by only dealing with reputable banks with high credit ratings.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect 
to any single counter party or group of counter parties. The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk as 
there were no trading operations during the year.

At 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012, there was no allowance for doubtful debts and there were no receivables 
past due but not impaired. 

Liquidity risk

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

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market, by 
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring that adequate uncommitted funding is 
available and maintained. Refer note 2(b)

The following are the expected maturities of financial assets and the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, 
including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

Rey Resources Annual Report 2013Notes to financial statements  
(continued)

Currency risk

The Group is not exposed to currency risk at the reporting date because the Group holds no financial assets or 
liabilities denominated in foreign currency.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is the risk that 
a financial instrument’s fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest 
rates on interest-bearing financial instruments.

At the reporting date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets exposed to interest rate risk. There 
were no financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased or decreased profit or 
loss by $3,013 (2012: $16,700)

Fair values

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate fair value.

Capital management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to ensure that it can fund its operations and continue as 
a going concern.

The Group has a hire purchase agreement for a vehicle purchased, and there are no externally imposed capital 
requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing its financial risks and adjusting its capital 
structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include share issues. There 
have  been  no  changes  in  the  strategy  adopted  by  Management  to  control  the  capital  of  the  Group  since  the 
prior year.

24  OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group operates in one segment being the mining industry and in one geographical location, being Western 
Australia. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. 
The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole. 

25  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On the 30 June 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Crystal Yield Investments Limited to sell 
the Duchess Paradise Project by way of a staged acquisition by Crystal of all the issued shares in Blackfin Pty 
Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rey (“Transaction”). Refer Note 7 and Note 2(b) A$3million was paid to Rey on 
signing and on 30 August 2013, shareholders approved the Transaction.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Rey Resources Limited 

Report on the financial report 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Rey  Resources  Limited  (the  company), 
which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2013,  and 
consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity 
and  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  ended  on  that  date,  notes  1  to  27  
comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and 
the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 
the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report  

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives 
a  true and fair  view in accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards and the  Corporations 
Act  2001  and  for  such  internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the 
preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or 
error.  In note 2 (a), the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard 
AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that  the  financial  statements  of  the  Group 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report  based  on  our  audit.  We 
conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  These  Auditing  
Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit 
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial 
report is free from material misstatement.  

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and 
disclosures  in  the  financial  report.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgement, 
including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  report,  whether  
due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control 
relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order  
to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate in the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 
estimates  made  by  the  directors,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  financial 
report.  

We  performed  the  procedures  to  assess  whether  in  all  material  respects  the  financial  report 
presents  fairly,  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  Australian  Accounting 
Standards,  a  true  and  fair  view  which  is  consistent  with  our  understanding  of  the  Group’s 
financial position and of its performance. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a 
basis for our audit opinion.

firm of the KPMG network of independent member
