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 and North Perth Basin.
In May 2014, Rey announced an agreement to farm-in to Exploration Permit (“EP”) 437 in the North Perth Basin
and to drill a well in the Dunnart Prospect. The Dunnart-2 well was spudded in July and encountered oil in
August before being suspended for a future production test.
Rey Resources holds a 25% interest in the two highly prospective Canning Basin petroleum exploration permits
(EP457 and EP458) known as the “Fitzroy Blocks”. This provides a significant position in the emerging on-shore
Canning Basin oil and gas province.
Rey holds coal tenements in the Canning Basin, partly contiguous with the Fitzroy Blocks, and continues to
progress the process of approvals for the Duchess Paradise coal project.
In July 2014, Rey announced it had entered a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with China National
Fuels Corporation, with the objective of jointly establishing and developing oil and gas opportunities together
with associated infrastructure in Western Australia, with an emphasis on the Canning Basin.
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 2014
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
It is my pleasure to deliver Rey Resources’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2014, my second as
Chairman.
During the past twelve months we have continued the restructuring of Rey, a process that started last year.
Our key focus remains our petroleum exploration business and in particular the Canning Basin, where we hold
interests in core strategic leases on the recently discovered Ungani Trend. We have also extended our oil and
gas exploration business into the North Perth Basin and earned a 43.47% interest in EP437. Exposure to the two
basins provides us geographic diversity and operating flexibility but we continue to expect the Canning Basin to
be the major driver of the Company’s value. Indeed, we expect to extend our portfolio of exploration properties
in this highly prospective region.
I am pleased to report we participated in our first exploration well, Dunnart-2 in the North Perth Basin in August
2014. This occurred while activity levels during 2014 in the Canning Basin were more subdued than expected
and demonstrates the value of our geographic diversification. The well reported oil shows over a 20 metre
interval and has been suspended for production testing.
In the coming year we intend to complete our investigation of Dunnart-2 and look forward to participating in
several exploration wells in the Canning Basin. Our petroleum business will continue to gain momentum.
Meanwhile the outlook for the Duchess Paradise coal project remained challenging in an environment of
depressed coal prices. A proposed sale of the project did not occur and we continue to manage the project
through the approvals processes so as to be prepared for development when feasible.
I would like to thank all shareholders for your support, and welcome those who joined during the year. I would
also like to welcome our new strategic partner, China National Fuels Corporation, with whom we will work to
unlock the benefits of the Canning Basin for all stakeholders.
I also thank our staff and management team for their work over the past year and I look forward to that continuing
over the next twelve months.
Min Yang
Chairman

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK
OIL & GAS
Canning Basin
Equity interests in the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) are:
Rey
Buru
25%
(including 10% free carried to production)
37.5%
(operator)
Diamond Resources (Fitzroy)
37.5%
(subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation)
Rey’s contribution to expenditure for the Fitzroy Blocks is 16.7% (as 10% of its interest is free-carried to
production). 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. The Fitzroy Blocks straddle three major trends:
• the Ungani conventional oil trend (“Ungani Trend”) - the major focus of the Company;
• the Laurel Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation, conventional and unconventional gas; and
• the Goldwyer oil and gas unconventional shale.
The Ungani Trend includes identified leads and prospects in an area of prospectivity of at least 120 kilometres by
40 kilometres (over one million acres or 4,800km2). This extends diagonally, NW-SE, across the Fitzroy Blocks.
The conventional dolomite reservoir oil discovery by Buru in 2011 at Ungani (located 15 kilometres northwest of
EP457) on the trend running through the Fitzroy Blocks is a significant regional discovery event.
6
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
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.
During late 2013, 234 line kilometres of 2D seismic data was acquired along the Ungani Trend within Fitzroy
Blocks and data processing completed in February 2014. Data interpretation provided numerous targets with
the majority requiring follow-up prior to drill testing. Further seismic acquisition is underway as at August 2014.
Two wells are expected to be drilled in the Fitzroy Blocks in the next twelve months. In August 2014, the Joint
Venture proposed the drilling of Senagi-1 in EP458. This is a shallow (~800 metre) structural target which is up-
dip from an historical mineral borehole that encountered a well-developed dolomite with significant oil shows.
It is intended that this well is drilled as soon as all permits and approvals are obtained. A further commitment
well is required to be drilled in EP457 in 2015.
Perth Basin
On 29 May 2014, Rey announced that it had executed a farm-out agreement with Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty
Ltd (“Key”) and Caracal Exploration Pty Ltd to farm-in to EP437 in the North Perth Basin. This permit is located
to the north of the large Dongara Field, which has been producing oil and gas since 1971.
As part of the agreement, Rey (via its wholly owned subsidiary Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd) is earning 43.47%
in EP437 by contributing 86.94% of the costs. This cost has been capped at $1.7 million for the Dunnart-2
exploration well, which is being managed by Key as operator of the permit. Costs over $1.7 million will be
apportioned to the parties in accordance with their respective permit equity holdings.
After the farm-out of EP437 to Rey, the beneficial interests are as follows:
Rey (Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd)
43.47%
Key Petroleum Limited (Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd) (Operator)
43.47%
Caracal Exploration Pty Limited
13.06%
The Dunnart Prospect is a structural closure against a fault and is defined by seven seismic dip lines and one
strike line. The well is located up-dip from the previously drilled Dunnart-1 well with a planned drilling depth of
670 metres. The prospect has a best estimate potential resource of two million barrels1 of recoverable oil (“MMBL”)
in the Early Triassic Bookara Sandstone. The Dunnart-1 well recorded excellent oil shows but was never tested.
The Dunnart-2 well spudded on 13 July 2014 and was completed in late August 2014. Oil shows over a
20 metre interval down into the granite basement were observed during the well site evaluation. Preliminary
interpretations from wireline formation data indicate that there is a minimum of five metres of good quality
reservoir sand development at the top of the Bookara Sandstone sequence that is thought to be oil bearing.
The well was cased and suspended for a future production test.
1
As reported by Key Petroleum (ASX:KEY) on 15 April, 2014 and Rey on 13 June 2014, the “Un-risked Prospective Resource”
(in accordance with Clause 7.3 of ASX Guidance Note 32) calculates recoverable oil in a range from a Low Estimate of 1.1MMBL;
a Best Estimate of 2.1MMBL; and a High Estimate of 3.4MMBL. Rey’s share is 43.47% of this, namely 0.5-1.5MMBL.
It should be noted that the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development
project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further
exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Mr Keith Martens who is a self-employed consulting professional geologist, and a continuous Member of the
Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia since 1999. Mr Martens has a BSc degree in geology/geophysics
and has over 35 years’ experience in the petroleum industry. Mr Martens has consented to the inclusion in this
report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which they appear.
COAL
The proposed Duchess Paradise coal project is a bituminous thermal coal operation of up to 2.5 million tonnes
per annum. A Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”) of the Project was completed in June 2011.
The proposed Project is well advanced in the process of assessment by the Western Australian Environmental
Protection Authority (“EPA”). In 2014, the Public Environmental Review (“PER”) document was publicly released
for information and comment. The result of the EPA assessment is expected to be reported to the Minister for
Environment in early 2015 for a decision.
Rey continues to hold a number of other coal tenements in the Canning Basin. Due to depressed prevailing coal
prices, only limited exploration was undertaken and the portfolio of acreage was reduced through the year on
the basis of prospectivity or access. Key prospective areas have been retained.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
ANNUAL RESERVE AND
RESOURCE STATEMENT
The Company reviews and reports its Reserves and Resources at least annually. The date of reporting is post-30
June each year to coincide with the release of this report. If there are any material changes to its Reserves and
Resources over the course of the year, the Company is required to promptly report these changes.
In completing the annual review for the year ended 30 June 2014, the historical factors were examined and
found to be relevant and current. The Duchess Paradise Project has not commenced active operation and hence
no resource depletion has occurred for the review period. The Company has not relinquished any of the ground
upon which the Reserves and Resources are based.

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 four 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 2014
(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
• 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 19.69% of the Company’s issued capital. Mr Jin Wei is not regarded independent as
he is a former director and shareholder of Crystal Yield Investments Limited, which holds a relevant interest in
approximately 19.9% 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.
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
15
(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 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 Wei will seek re-election as a Director in accordance with the Company’s Constitution at the Annual General
Meeting to be held in November 2014.
(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.
A formal review of the performance of the Board for the 2014 financial year is expected to take place within 4
months of the end of the financial year.
(h) Nominations and Appointment of New Directors

BOARD COMMITTEES
(a)
Board Committees and Membership
The Board generally has three standing committees to assist in the discharge of its responsibilities. These are
the:
• Audit and Risk Committee
• Remuneration and Nomination Committee
• Sustainability Committee.
For the 2014 financial year, given the size of the Board and the stage of the Company’s operations, the Board
resolved that the duties of each committee would be undertaken by the full Board, in accordance with the
existing committee charters. On 2 July 2014, the Board resolved to re-establish the Audit and Risk Committee,
with membership as follows:
• Dachun Zhang (Chair)
• Min Yang
• Geoff Baker
• Jin Wei.
The Company recognises Recommendation 2.2 which recommends that the Chairman of the Company be
independent. As noted above, the Chairman, Ms Min Yang, represents a substantial shareholder of the Company
and, as a result, is not considered independent. However, Ms Yang has been appointed to this position as she
has considerable experience as a public company Chairman and is a well-qualified person for this position. The
Board believes that Ms Yang is able to and does bring impartial judgment to all relevant issues falling within the
scope of the role of Chairman.
(b)
Board Committee Charters
The charters of all Board committees, detailing the roles and duties of each are available in the corporate
charters section of Rey Resources’ website. All Board committee charters are reviewed at least annually.
(c)
Audit and Risk Committee
The role of the Audit and Risk Committee is to assist the Board to meet its oversight responsibilities in relation
to the Company’s financial reporting, internal control structure, financial risk management procedures and
external audit function. In doing so, it is the Committee’s responsibility to maintain free and open communication
between the Committee and the external auditors and the management of Rey Resources.
As noted above, during the 2014 financial year, the full Board undertook the duties of the Audit and Risk
Committee as per the existing committee charter. As noted above, on 2 July 2014, the Board resolved to re-
establish the Audit and Risk Committee.

relation to health, safety, environmental and community (“HSEC”) issues for Rey Resources, and the oversight
of risks relating to these issues. The Committee’s responsibilities include to:
• Understand the risks of HSEC issues involving Rey Resources’ activities
• Ensure that the systems and processes for identifying, assessing and managing HSEC risks of Rey
Resources are adequately monitored
• Regularly review and ensure compliance with the HSEC strategies and policies of Rey Resources’ and the
supporting Management systems and processes

EXTERNAL AUDITOR RELATIONSHIP AND INDEPENDENCE
(a)
Approach to Audit and Governance
The Board is committed to the basic principles that:
• Rey Resources’ financial reports represent a true and fair view
• Rey Resources’ accounting practices are comprehensive, relevant and comply with applicable accounting
standards and policies
• The external auditor is independent and serves shareholders’ interests.
(b)
External Auditor Relationship
Rey Resources’ independent external auditor is KPMG.
The Board requires the rotation of the audit partner at least every five years and prohibits the re-involvement of
a previous audit partner in the audit service for two years following their rotation.
The full Board 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.
4
RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL
(a)
Approach to Risk Management
The Board and Senior Executives are responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Company’s Risk
Oversight Policy.
The Company’s approach to risk management is based on the identification, assessment, monitoring and
management of material risks embedded in its business and management systems.
(b)
Risk Management Roles and Responsibilities
The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that
the group’s objectives and activities are aligned with those risks and opportunities.
The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management’s objectives and activities are
aligned with the risks identified by the Board. These include:
• The Board receives regular updates on key risks associated with the development of the Company’s
projects
• The implementation of Board-approved annual operating budgets and plans which are continually
monitored against the actual cost and progress
• Ensuring the Executive Management team is responsible for developing policies, processes and
procedures to identify risks and mitigation strategies in Rey Resources’ activities.
The Company’s Risk Oversight Policy is available on the corporate policies section of Rey Resources’ website.
20
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
(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 financial reporting 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) Workplace Health and Safety
The Board recognises the importance of maintaining the highest practicable standards of Workplace 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, during the 2014 financial year, the full Board has undertaken the duties of the Sustainability
Committee as per the existing committee charter.
The 2014 Health and Safety objectives are focused on creating a healthy work environment, keeping our people
safe and ensuring our compliance. Health, Safety and Environment Management reporting ensures that the
Board has oversight of Rey Resources’ performance in this area.
(b)
Environment
Rey Resources conducts its business in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner, in addition to
complying with the applicable environmental regulation for its exploration and development activities.
The Board has developed an Environment Policy that identifies the required standard of environmental care and
to ensure that the Company complies with environmental legislation.
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
21
(c)
Code of Conduct
The Board has approved a Code of Conduct that applies to Directors, management and staff which describes the
standards of ethical behaviour that Directors and employees are required to maintain.
Compliance with the Code of Conduct will also assist Rey Resources in effectively managing its operating risks
and meeting its legal and compliance obligations.
A copy of the Code of Conduct is available in the corporate policies section of Rey Resources’ website.
(d)
Ethical Behaviour
With the relatively small employee base at this stage of the Company’s development, management is charged
with the responsibility of ensuring all employees are committed to maintaining an open working environment
in which employees are able to report instances of unsafe work practices, unethical, unlawful or undesirable
conduct without fear of intimidation or reprisal.
(e)
Securities Trading Policy
Rey Resources’ Securities Trading Policy is binding on all Directors and employees. This policy provides a brief
summary of the law on insider trading and other relevant laws, sets out the restrictions on dealing in securities
by people who work for or who are associated with Rey Resources, and is intended to assist in maintaining
market confidence in the integrity of dealings in the Company’s securities.
The policy stipulates that the only appropriate time for a Director or employee to deal in the Company’s
securities is when he or she is not in possession of ‘price sensitive information’ that is not generally available
to the share market. A Director wishing to deal in the Company’s securities may only do so after first having
received approval from the Chairman. All staff wishing to deal must obtain approval from the Managing Director.
Confirmation of any dealing must also be given by the Director or employee to the Company Secretary within
two business days after the dealing.
Trading in the Company’s securities is also subject to specified blackout periods, which are set out in the
Company’s Securities Trading Policy or as otherwise determined by the Board from time to time.
The Company prohibits directors and employees from entering into transactions in associated products which
limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity-based remuneration schemes.
A copy of the Company’s Securities Trading Policy is available in the corporate policies section of Rey Resources’
website.

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 salaried, contracted or casual basis including a Financial Controller, Accounts Payable and Company
Secretary.
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:

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’
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.

General Manager
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.
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 Board is responsible for 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 Board 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.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
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
only participant in the plan is currently 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
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 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 including progression of Rey project milestones and Total Shareholder Return
(“TSR”). 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. The 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.
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
35
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 the Rey share price for which the history is presented below.
Absolute TSR performance is the basis for long term incentive awards under the EIRP.

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.
NED fees comprise a fixed annual fee, with no participation in any performance rights plan.
The annual fee payable to each NED are as follows: Ms Yang $96,000 per annum; Mr Baker $120,000 per annum;
Mr Zhang $50,000 per annum; Mr Wei $60,000 per annum.

All Executives may be terminated immediately for serious misconduct, with payment of TFR and accrued leave up until the

A Fundamental Change occurs if the Company’s shares are suspended from trading, the Company is delisted, or Mr Wilson is
required to undertake a materially different role.
Non-executive Directors are engaged by a letter of appointment for a term as stated in the Constitution of the
Company. They are able to resign from office with reasonable notice to the Chairman. Non-executive Directors
receive annual fees. There are no post-employment benefits other than statutory superannuation.
6.5 Remuneration Consultant
The Board may seek 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.
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.
No external advisors were engaged on remuneration matters for the 2013-2014 year.
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.

The principal activity of Rey Resources is exploring for and developing energy resources in Western Australia’s
Canning Basin. The Company holds coal exploration assets, a 25% interest in the highly prospective petroleum
permits (EP457 & 458) in joint venture with Buru Energy Limited (“Buru”) and Mitsubishi Corporation. During
the year, the Company also executed a farm in agreement over petroleum permit EP437 with a wholly owned
subsidiary of Key Petroleum Limited (“Key”) and Caracal Exploration Pty Ltd whereby Rey would earn 43.47%
in EP437 by contributing to 86.94% of costs, capped at $1.7 million for the Dunnart-2 exploration well. These
exploration costs were required to be paid in full by 31 August 2014. Costs over $1.7 million will be apportioned
between the parties in accordance with their respective beneficial interests in the permit. At the date of this
report, Rey Resources had completed its earn-in expenditure.

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, progressing both its oil and gas and coal assets.

Oil and gas
Canning Basin
Rey Resources holds a 25% interest in Exploration Permits EP457 and EP458 (“the Fitzroy Blocks”). The Fitzroy
Blocks are located in the highly prospective Canning Basin in the northwest of Western Australia. 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)
Buru, as operator, completed a geophysical survey over EP457 in November 2013, with a total of 234 line
kilometres acquired. Processing of seismic data occurred in January 2014 and initial results provided several
targets analogous to the Ungani discoveries made by Buru Energy Limited approximately 10-15 kilometres to
the NW of EP457.
One of these targets is located in EP458. The Senagi prospect is a shallow (~800 metre depth) structural target
which is updip from a mineral borehole that encountered a well developed Ungani Dolomite reservoir equivalent
with significant oil shows. It is planned to drill this prospect in early 2015, subject to regulatory and Native Title
agreements and approvals.
It is expected that further 2D seismic acquisition will also occur on the Fitzroy Blocks during 2014.
Perth Basin
On 29 May 2014, Rey Resources announced that it had executed an agreement with Key Petroleum (Australia)
Pty Ltd (“Key”) and Caracal Exploration Pty Ltd to farm-in to Exploration Permit EP437 in the North Perth Basin.
This permit is located to the north of the large Dongara Field which has been producing oil and gas since 1971.
As part of the agreement, Rey Resources (via its wholly owned subsidiary Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd) is
earning 43.47% in EP437 by contributing 86.94% of the costs. This cost has been capped at $1.7 million for the
Dunnart-2 exploration well which is being managed by Key as operator of the permit. These exploration costs
were paid in full at 31 August 2014. Costs over $1.7 million will be apportioned to the parties in accordance with
their respective permit equity holdings.
After the farmout of EP437 to Rey, the beneficial interests are as follows:
• Key Petroleum Limited (Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd) (Operator)
• Rey (Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd)
• Caracal Exploration Pty Limited
43.47%
43.47%
13.06%
The Dunnart Prospect is a structural closure against a fault and is defined by seven seismic dip lines and one
strike line. The Dunnart-2 well is located up-dip from the previously drilled Dunnart-1 well. The prospect has a
best estimate potential resource of two million barrels1 of recoverable oil (MMBL) in the Early Triassic Bookara
Sandstone.
The Dunnart-2 well spudded in July 2014. The targeted Bookara Sandstone was encountered at 614m and a four
metre oil column reported. The well was cased and suspended for a future production test.

As reported by Key Petroleum Limited (ASX:KEY) on 15 April, 2014, the “Un-risked Prospective Resource” (in accordance with Clause 7.3
of ASX Guidance Note 32) calculates recoverable oil in a range from a Low Estimate of 1.1MMBL; a Best Estimate of 2.1MMBL; and a High
Estimate of 3.4MMBL. Rey’s share is 43.47% of this.

Coal
Rey Resources’s thermal coal tenements are also located in Western Australia’s Canning Basin and are partly
contiguous with the Fitzroy Blocks.
Duchess Paradise Coal Project
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.
During the year the Duchess Paradise Project was assessed by the EPA and, in late 2014, a result of their
assessment is expected to be forwarded to the Minister for Environment for a decision.
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. A review of all coal exploration tenements in 2014 resulted in relinquishment
of several licences resulting in an impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure and
reduction in size of others.
The envisaged field programme will continue the reconnaissance drilling undertaken in 2013 and also follow up
encouraging coal intercepts identified from the 2013 drilling programme. Of particular interest are (previously
reported to ASX on 31 January 2014) intercepts of shallow coal seams up to 3.18m thick confirmed in two
reconnaissance drill lines in the Mt Fenton Project area, 70km south of the Duchess Paradise Project.
Corporate
During the year, Rey Resources raised a total of $5.36 million through the issue of new equity.
On 30 August 2013, shareholders approved the sale of Blackfin Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rey and
the holder of the Duchess Paradise Project) to Crystal Yield Investments Limited (“Crystal”) for $21 million by
way of a staged acquisition by Crystal of all of the issued shares in Blackfin.
On 29 October 2013, this arrangement was terminated and, in accordance with the agreement, $3 million of the
$21 million conditional sale amount which had been received by Rey in satisfaction of the first stage payment
was used to subscribe for 53,571,429 fully paid ordinary Rey shares for the benefit of Crystal. Rey retained its
100% interest in Blackfin and the Duchess Paradise Project.
In addition, on 29 October 2013, Crystal subscribed for a further $1.36 million placement of 17 million Rey
shares to become a cornerstone investor with a total of approximately 19.9% of Rey’s issued capital.
On 2 December 2013, Mr Jin Wei, a former director of Crystal Yield Investments Ltd and Ricky Holding Ltd,
became a Non-Executive Director on the Rey Board. Mr Jin Wei has since advised he has ceased to be director
of both Crystal Yield Investments Ltd and Ricky Holding Ltd on 18 August 2014.
On 3 December 2013, Rey advised that as part of its ongoing capital management strategy it implemented an
on-market buyback for up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company over the period of 12 months. The timing
and quantity of shares purchased will depend on prevailing market conditions and other future events. A total of
1,252,151 shares were bought back in the 2014 financial year for $119,414.

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.

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; and
• 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1
REPORTING ENTITY
Rey Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s
registered office is 1121 Hay Street, West Perth, Western Australia, 6005. The consolidated financial statements
of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2014 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 25 September
2014.
(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 no debt obligations. The Group successfully raised $5.36 million (before costs) during the year.
Post year end, Rey successfully raised a further $3 million (before costs) through a placement of new shares.
Based on a cashflow forecast the Directors believe that existing cash resources together with prudent
management are sufficient for the Company to meet non-discretionary expenditure for a period of 12 months
from the date of this report. On this basis, the going concern basis of preparation has been adopted.
(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.
56
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(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. The Group Controls an enity when it is exposed to,
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which
control ceases.
(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 depending on the level of influence retained.
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
57
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(iv)
Jointly controlled operations
Joint arrangements are defined as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which
exists only when decisions about relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing
control. These arrangements may be accounted for as a joint venture or a joint operation.
A joint venture, which is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has
rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than the rights to its assets and obligation for its
liabilities. Interest in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
A joint operation is an arrangement in which the parties with joint control have rights to the assets and
obligations for the liabilities relating to that arrangement. In respect of its interest in a joint operation, a
joint operator the Group recognises its relative share of its assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
(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.
(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.
58
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
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.
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
59
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.
60
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
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.
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
61
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
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.
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.
62
Rey Resources Annual Report 2014
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment,
and intangible assets other than goodwill.
(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

At 30 June 2014, the Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $60,719,333 (2013: $55,245,860) that are
available 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
As at 30 June 2013, the Duchess Paradise Project was presented as an asset held for sale following the
commitment of the Board to the sale of the project to Crystal Yield Investments Limited.
An impairment loss of $3,527,000 on the re-measurement of the asset to the lower of its carrying value less
costs to sell was included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income at this date.
On 14 October 2013, Crystal Yield Investments Limited confirmed that it did not intend to proceed with the
purchase, but expressed a desire to participate in the eventual development of the Project, as well as participating
in the development of Rey Resources’ oil and gas exploration businesses.
Accordingly, the Duchess Paradise Project is no longer classified as held for sale. The amount of $20,400,000
has been reclassified as non-current asset at Exploration and Evaluation expenditure.

The ultimate recoupment of balances carried forward in relation to areas of interest still in the exploration or

the respective areas.
Tenements where tenure is not intended to be continued have been fully impaired as at 30 June 2014.

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) for the 2009 expenditure
year. Mineralogy Pty Ltd lodged objections to the applications for exemption from expenditure and forfeiture
applications affecting the 11 exploration licences. While the tenements which are the subject of the application
cover areas of strategic interest to Rey Resources, they do not relate to Rey Resources’ Duchess Paradise
Project.
A hearing was conducted before the Mining Warden in 2012. The Mining Warden delivered his report and
recommendations with respect to applications for exemption from expenditure in relation to the Exploration
Licences to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum in September 2013. The Warden recommended that an
exemption from expenditure on one Exploration Licence should be granted by the Minister, and that exemptions
from expenditure on ten Exploration Licencess should not be granted. In August 2014 the Minister released
his decision that three tenements would be granted exemption from expenditure and eight tenements would
not be granted exemption. The Warden has not yet made a recommendation in relation to the applications for
forfeiture. For the eight tenements where Blackfin was not successful in obtaining certificates of exemption,
the Exploration Licences are 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 2014 is $4,782,000 (2013:$4,418,000)
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. These are accounted for as joint operations.
Assets employed by these joint ventures and the Group’s expenditure in respect of them is brought to account

• Buru Energy Limited
37.5% (operator)
• Mitsubishi Corporation
37.5%
• Rey Resources Limited
25% (of which a 10% interest is free carried to production).
The total amount of the Group’s capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure capitalised and employed

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.
The 2010 EIRP relates to the period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2013 with provision for a one year retest. The 2011
EIRP, issued in November 2012, relates to the period 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2014 with provision for a one year
retest; and for share rights issued in November 2012 for the period 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015 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.
Vesting Scale:
Performance level
