Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Company Profile
Rey Resources Limited (“Rey” or “Company”) is an ASX-listed company (ASX:REY) focused on exploring and
developing energy resources in Western Australia’s Canning Basin and Perth Basin.
Rey holds a 25% interest in two prospective Canning Basin petroleum exploration permits (EP457 and EP458)
known as the “Fitzroy Blocks” where two conventional oil wells are to be drilled in the second half of 2015. The
first, Victory-1, was spudded on 9 September 2015. This provides a significant position in the emerging on-shore
Canning Basin oil and gas province in which the Ungani oil field commenced commercial production in July 2015.
During the year Rey completed the acquisition of a 50% participating interest in the “Derby Block’ (EP487) to the
north of the Fitzroy Blocks. The Derby Block is considered prospective for both conventional and unconventional
hydrocarbons. Planning is underway to commence exploration.
Rey also holds coal tenements in the Canning Basin, some contiguous with the Fitzroy Blocks, including those
hosting the Duchess Paradise coal resources and reserves.
Rey continues to investigate targets in the Perth Basin within Exploration Permit 437 (“EP437”) in which it holds
a 43.47% interest. The Dunnart-2 well spudded in EP437 in July 2014 and encountered good oil shows in August
2014, although no hydrocarbons flowed to surface during testing in June 2015.
Rey has continued to strengthen its position in the Perth Basin taking a cornerstone position in Norwest Energy
NL (“Norwest”) in June 2015, with the intention of working with Norwest to develop opportunities around its
interests in the Perth Basin.
In July 2014, Rey also 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 2015Chairman’s Message
Dear fellow shareholder,
It is my pleasure to deliver Rey Resources’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2015, my third as Chairman.
Our key focus remains our petroleum exploration business in the Canning Basin and Perth Basin.
Our interest in the Fitzroy Blocks straddles the continuation of the Ungani Trend. As this report goes to press
we are participating in two oil exploration wells which will be drilled in the second half of 2015. We also took
encouragement from commencement by Buru Energy Limited (“Buru”) of commercial production from the
Ungani field in July 2015, to the north west of the Fitzroy Blocks.
During the year, we extended our oil and gas exploration interests in the Canning Basin with the acquisition of
a 50% interest in the Derby Block and also in the Perth Basin by taking a cornerstone investment in Norwest.
Exposure to the two basins provides us geographic diversity and operating flexibility. We continue to examine
opportunities to extend our portfolio of exploration properties in both of these prospective regions.
Our petroleum business will continue to gain momentum.
The outlook for development of the Duchess Paradise Coal Project remained challenging during the 2015
financial year, with continued depressed coal prices. We have sought to maintain the prospect in good standing,
whilst minimising holding costs and awaiting an upturn in the business environment.
I would like to thank all shareholders for your support, and welcome those who joined during the year.
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

Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Business Performance and Outlook
OIL & GAS
Canning Basin – the Fitzroy Blocks
Equity interests in the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) are:
• Rey Oil and Gas Pty Ltd
• Buru Fitzroy Pty Ltd
25%
(of which a 10% interest is free carried to production)
37.5%
(Buru Energy Limited operator)
• Diamond Resources (Fitzroy) Pty Ltd
37.5% (100% 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 4,800 kilometres2). 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.
Commercial production was established by Buru at Ungani in mid-2015.
Although Prospective (recoverable) Resources of the Laurel Formation within the Fitzroy Blocks have not been
assessed by drilling to date, the formation 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.
A total of 112.5 line-kilometres of 2D seismic data were acquired at Mt Fenton and elsewhere in EP458 on the
Barbwire Terrace during August 2014 and data processing was completed by the operator during the reporting year.
Two wells are planned be drilled in the Fitzroy Blocks in the second half of 2015. Victory-1 in EP457 was spudded
on 9 September 2015. The Victory prospect is a large regional high (mapped closure of 30 kilometres2) on a
depositional centre margin in a similar structural setting to Ungani. It is considered to have potential for oil in
both the Laurel carbonate and Anderson / Laurel clastic reservoirs and for gas in the clastic reservoirs. The
target depth is 1,750 - 2,400 metres. This will be followed by 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. As at the date of this report, the Victory-1 well was drilling towards the
target depth and site preparation was underway for Senagi-1.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Canning Basin – the Derby Block
In June 2015, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd (“RLS”) completed the
acquisition of a 50% participating interest in petroleum exploration permit EP487 (“Derby Block”) from Backreef
Oil Pty Ltd (“Backreef”). The Company has also entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“JOA”) with Oil Basins
Limited (“Oil Basins”) (ASX: OBL), holder of the remaining 50% interest and permit Operator, for the operation
of exploration programmes on the Derby Block, located in the Canning Basin of Western Australia.
The Derby Block is a large exploration permit of approximately 5,000 km2 that was granted to Backreef (50%)
and Oil Basins (50%) in March 2014. It occurs to the north of Rey’s existing interests in petroleum exploration
licences in the Canning Basin. Under the Agreement, RLS has acquired Backreef’s 50% interest in the Derby
Block for either $2 million, to be paid on grant of a Production Licence in respect of EP487; or (at RLS’ election)
a 2% royalty on future production (on RLS’s acquired 50% interest). In addition, RLS agreed to settle certain
outstanding claims on Backreef by Oil Basins in connection with past expenses incurred on management of
the Derby Block amounting to approximately $391,000 and grant Oil Basins a 1% royalty over future production
from RLS’ acquired 50% interest.
Key terms of the JOA between RLS and Oil Basins are as follows:
• Oil Basins will act as Operator until 1 January 2016, at which time RLS will assume operatorship of the
Derby Block, subject to certain preconditions;
• until 1 January 2016, Oil Basins will seek to farm-out a 50% interest in the permit on behalf of the Joint
Venture and Rey will participate in the farm-out subject to certain commercial terms being achieved,
including funding of the first two years’ of the permit workplan on a 2 for 1 basis. This would result in
both RLS and Oil Basins diluting to a respective 25% interest with the farminee at 50%; and
• other terms and conditions usual for an agreement of this sort.
Following completion of the acquisition, the Operator continued work on various environmental and planning
approvals for a seismic acquisition survey. On 29 September 2015 the Operator sought a variation from the
Department of Mines and Petroleum to either undertake the seismic programme in 2016 or replace this
programme with a two-well drilling programme.
Perth Basin
Rey farmed into EP437 during 2014 through funding the drilling of Dunnart-2. The beneficial interests in the
licence are as follows:
Rey (Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd)
43.47%
Key Petroleum Limited (Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd)
43.47% (Operator)
Caracal Exploration Pty Limited
13.06%
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 was thought to be oil bearing.
The well was cased and suspended for a production test, which was completed in July 2015. The results of the
test confirmed the Bookara Sandstone as a good quality reservoir but no oil flowed to surface.
The Joint Venture has identified at least ten prospects and leads on the licence. Additional mapping of the Wye
area was conducted in light of results from the Waitsia gas discovery to the south of EP437 by AWE Limited.
The Wye area consists of several fault bounded structures defined by vintage 2D seismic including a section of
7
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
High Cliff sandstone encountered further south at the Dongara and Waitsia fields some 40 kilometres to the
southeast in the Perth Basin.
The Joint Venture is reviewing the prospects, particularly the Wye area, following the result of the Dunnart-2
flow test together with historic geochemical, geophysical and well data with structural mapping to define a drill
ready prospect.
Investment in Norwest
Rey became a cornerstone investor in Norwest (ASX: NWE) in June 2015, via the subscription by a wholly owned
subsidiary company for 53,056,027 shares, or approximately 4% of the total shares on issue in Norwest, at an
issue price of $0.004712, for a total investment of $250,000.
The subscription follows discussions between Rey and Norwest about potential farm-in opportunities around
Norwest’s Perth Basin interests. The companies will continue to work together to develop these opportunities.
COAL
The Duchess Paradise Coal Project (“Duchess Paradise Project”) is a proposed bituminous thermal coal
operation of up to 2.5 million tonnes per annum in the Canning Basin, north Western Australia. A Definitive
Feasibility Study (“DFS”) of the Project was completed in June 2011.
The proposed Duchess Paradise Project included the use of a substantial part of the Derby Port (“Port”) land
area under a sublease by Rey from the Shire of Derby/West Kimberley (“SDWK”). The SDWK is in the process of
investigating and planning a reconfiguration and expansion of the Port to provide for increased and diversified
trade. In the June 2015 quarter Rey relinquished its exclusive sublease within the Port. Future export of coal is
expected to be via negotiation of access to a multi-user bulk commodity export facility.
In April 2015 the environmental assessment of the proposed Duchess Paradise Project by the Western Australian
Environmental Protection Authority (“EPA”) was placed on hold by agreement between Rey and the EPA. The
assessment suspension is currently valid until 30 July 2016 and can be resumed earlier by notice to the EPA.
This provides the opportunity to establish the likely future export arrangements at the Port.
Rey continues to hold a number of other granted coal tenements and applications in the Canning Basin.

Material Changes and Reserves and Resources Statement Comparison
The Company reviews its mineral Reserves and Resources at least annually in accordance with ASX Listing
Rule 5.21. The date of reporting is post-30 June each year to coincide with the release of this Annual 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 as they occur.
Rey has undertaken an annual review for the year ended 30 June 2015, which was conducted by Cardno Inc.
The historical factors were examined and found not to have materially changed the Reserves and Resources
of Duchess Paradise P1-seam from the time they were last reviewed and reported to ASX on 28 October 2014
(at which time the Reserves and Resources were updated in accordance with JORC 2012 and found not to have
materially changed since reported in accordance with JORC 2004 on 6 April 2011 and 6 June 2011 respectively).
The Duchess Paradise Project has not commenced active operation and hence no resource depletion has
occurred for the review period. The result of the review was verification of the Coal Reserve estimate for the P1
seam of 17.79 million marketable tonnes (gross as-received basis), recovered over a mine life of approximately
10 years. The review also indicates that the resource defined in the ASX announcement on 28 October 2014
remains valid at 305.8 million tonnes in place.

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED
This remuneration report outlines the Director and executive remuneration arrangements for Rey Resources
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.

Managing Director (appointed 9 August 2007)
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 KMP 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 6.5.
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.
22
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
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 (“2014 EIRP”),
which was approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting. The 2014 EIRP replaced
the 2011 EIRP that was previously approved by shareolders. 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 2014 EIRP and 2011 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.
The EIRP plan has been designed to deliver benefits based on the value of shares when performance and
service conditions are satisfied. The benefits may be provided in cash or a combination of cash and shares.

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 below 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.

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.
24
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015NED fees comprise a fixed annual fee, with no participation in any performance rights plan.
The annual cash fees 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. In addition, at the Annual General Meeting
on 28 November 2014, Rey shareholder approval was received for the grant of 3,500,000 ordinary shares to
Directors or their nominees (1,000,000 to Ms Yang, 1,000,000 to Mr Baker, 1,000,000 to Mr Jin Wei and 500,000
to Mr Zhang).

farminee) and Rey will become Operator from 1 January 2016 should no farmout occur by 31 December 2015.
Perth Basin
EP437
As reported in ASX announcement of 30 October 2014, Rey earned a 43.47% interest in EP437 by contributing
86.94% of the costs of the Dunnart-2 well, which was drilled in July-September 2014 under the management of
Key Petroleum as Operator of the permit. The beneficial interests in EP437 are:

Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
As announced on 30 January 2015, further prospects and leads have been identified. The JV is reviewing the
prospects, particularly the Wye area following the result of the Dunnart-2 flow test together with historic
geochemical, geophysical and well data with structural mapping to define a drill ready prospect.
Norwest Energy NL
In June 2015 Rey became a cornerstone investor in Norwest. The companies will work together to investigate
and develop potential farm-in opportunities around Norwest’s Perth Basin interests.
Coal
Rey Resources’ thermal coal tenements are also located in Western Australia’s Canning Basin and are partly
contiguous with the Fitzroy Blocks. No field work was undertaken during the year. Rey has continued to refine
its exploration tenement holding by surrendering areas with lower coal prospectivity, constrained access or
deeper coal.
During the year, Rey and Mineralogy Pty Ltd agreed to discontinue all legal activity in relation to the October
2009 Mineralogy Pty Ltd applications for forfeiture and objections to applications for exemption from expenditure
affecting 11 mineral exploration licences.

Duchess Paradise Coal Project
The Duchess Paradise Coal 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 DFS was completed at the end of June 2011.
Rey relinquished its sublease at the Derby Port during the June quarter 2015. This has allowed the lessor, the
Shire of Derby/West Kimberley, to bring forward the planning, survey and geotechnical studies for redefining
lease areas and further development at the Derby Port, aimed at facilitating multiple users. Future export of
coal is expected to be via negotiation of access to a multi-user bulk commodity export facility.
In April 2015, the Duchess Paradise Coal Project environmental assessment was placed on hold.
During the first half of the financial year, Rey completed a review and update of its Duchess Paradise P1-seam
thermal coal Resources and Reserves Statement to the 2012 edition of the JORC Code. As reported to the
ASX on 28 October 2014, the review confirmed the Resources and Reserves Statements previously announced
under the 2004 JORC Code. A review in August 2015 concluded that there had been no material change to the
previously reported Resources and Reserves.
Corporate
During the year, Rey Resources raised a total of $7 million (before costs) through the issue of new equity.

• On 8 July 2014, Rey entered into a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with China National Fuels
Corporation, a China based energy company. The agreement formalises discussions that have occurred over the
past 12 months and has a key objective that the parties will jointly establish and develop oil and gas opportunities
together with associated infrastructure in Western Australia, with an emphasis in the Canning Basin.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2015Notes 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 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together
referred to as “Rey” or the “Group”). The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in mineral and oil
and gas exploration and 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 24 September 2015.
(b)
Going concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business.
For the year ended 30 June 2015 the Group incurred a loss of $10,200,000 and experienced net cash outflows
of $1,348,000. The loss for the period was significantly impacted by the recognition of impairment losses on
exploration and evaluation assets of $8,117,000. As at 30 June 2015 the Group has cash of $1,652,000 and a net
working capital position of $36,440,000.
The Group has prepared a cashflow forecast for the 15 months ending 30 September 2016. The cashflow forecasts
demonstrates the need to raise additional funding to meet both non-discretionary and discretionary expenditure.
The forecast non-discretionary expenditure includes Rey’s share of committed spend for exploration programs
on the Canning Basin properties with a material amount due in the immediate term. Rey is considering funding
alternatives in the form of debt and equity, including discussions with existing shareholders. Based on those
alternatives, the directors are confident that sufficient funding will be available in the timeframes required and
that the adoption of the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate.
Should the Group be unable to raise the necessary funding to meet its commitments, there is a material
uncertainty in relation to as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its
assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial
report.
40
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(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 11
– ultimate recoupment of carried forward exploration expenditure.
Note 19
– key assumptions in determining the fair value of share based payments.
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.
41
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(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.
(iv)
Joint arrangement
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.
42
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
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.
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.
43
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(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.
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
44
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
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.
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.
45
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015
Notes to financial statements
(continued)
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.
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.
46
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015Notes to financial statements
(continued)
(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.
(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 2015, 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 that are not already disclosed, and therefore, no change is
necessary to Group accounting policies.

At 30 June 2015, the Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $68,414,279 (2014: $60,719,333) 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.

During 2015, as a result of the impairment testing process at 30 June 2015, the Group recognised an impairment
loss of $8,117,000 with respect to relinquishment of 18 coal tenements exploration license and 1 coal tenement
exploration license changed to retention license. The impairment loss was recognised in’ exploration impairment’
on the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and other Income.
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 2015.
Blackfin Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, lodged applications for exemption from expenditure in relation to
11 of its 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 11 exploration
licences. During the year Rey and Mineralogy agreed to discontinue all legal activity concerning the exploration
licences and the Mining Warden dismissed the matters.

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
initially as capitalised exploration expenditure (refer Note 11) and disclosed 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 Basin, Western Australia.

19 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. No options
remain at 30 June 2015.
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.
