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.

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.

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.

Remuneration policy
Non-executive Chairman (appointed 13 September 2012) 
Non-executive Director (appointed 13 September 2012) 
Non-executive Director (appointed 1 July 2013)  
Non-executive Director (appointed 2 December 2013)
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).

Rey Resources Annual Report 20158 
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 and Perth Basin, with particular focus on its oil and gas assets. 
Oil and gas
Canning Basin
EP457 & EP458
Rey Resources holds a 25% interest in Exploration Permits EP457 and EP458 (“the Fitzroy Blocks”). The Fitzroy 
Blocks  are  located  in  the  Canning  Basin  in  the  northwest  of  Western  Australia.  The  equity  interest  in  each 
permit is:
•  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)
In August 2014 a total of 112.5 line-kilometres of 2D seismic was acquired in EP458 and planning is underway 
for an additional 100 line-km of 2D seismic acquisition in EP457 in the first half of 2015-16 financial year, over 
drilling prospects Wright and Victory.
Drilling of oil exploration wells Victory-1 in EP457 and Senagi-1 in EP458 was planned and approvals advanced 
with the target of drilling in the first half of 2015-16 financial year. Victory-1 spudded on 9 September 2015. 
EP487
As announced on 1 June 2015, Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rey Resources) completed 
the acquisition of a 50% participating interest in petroleum exploration permit EP487 from Backreef Oil Pty Ltd 
and entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Oil Basins Limited. The equity interests in the permit are :
•  Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd  
•  Oil Basins Limited  
50%
50%
Oil Basins is the appointed Operator until 1 January 2016 (or as extended with an Oil Basins introduced third party 
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:
•  Key Petroleum Limited (Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd) (Operator)  
•  Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd 
•  Caracal Exploration Pty Limited 
43.47%
43.47%
13.06%
The Dunnart-2 well encountered oil shows over a 20m interval. During flow testing in June 2015 no commercial 
hydrocarbons flowed to surface and the well has been decommissioned.

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. 
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 30 June 2014 the Company announced that it was undertaking a capital raising to raise up to $3 million 
(before costs) at 10 cents per share. The first tranche of $1 million was received and shares issued on 
10 July 2014; the second tranche of $1.5 million was received and shares issued on 19 August 2014; and the 
third tranche of $0.5 million was received on 4 September 2014 and shares issued on 9 September 2014.
•  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. 
31
Rey Resources Annual Report 2015•  On 28 November 2014, the Company announced the proposed acquisition of a 50% interest in petroleum

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

(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.

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.

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.
