COMPANY PROFILE

Rey Resources Limited (“Rey”, Rey Resources” 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” and a 50% participating interest in (and is operator of) the “Derby Block’ (EP487).  

Two conventional oil wells were drilled in the Fitzroy Blocks during 2015, although neither resulted in a petroleum 

discovery. The Derby Block is considered prospective for both conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons 

and Rey assumed operatorship of this block in June 2016.

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 (“EP 437”) in which it holds a 

43.47% interest.

Rey has an experienced Board and management team, committed to continuing to develop its energy assets 

to deliver maximum value to its shareholders.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear fellow Shareholder,

It is my pleasure to deliver Rey Resources’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2016.

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  and  during  the  year  we 

participated  in  the  drilling  of  two  exploration  wells  on  the  trend  during  the  year,  Victory-1  and  Senagi-1. 

Unfortunately neither of these delivered a petroleum discovery but the information gained from the wells is 

developing the future strategy for exploration on the trend.

Following  our  acquisition  of  a  50%  interest  in  EP  487,  the  Derby  Block,  in  2015,  we  eventually  achieved 

operatorship  in  June  2016.  Since  that  date,  we  have  reviewed  the  available  geological  information  and 

proposed further seismic acquisition in late 2016, prior to drilling in 2017.

As operator of the Derby Block, we are now well positioned to consider farmouts to support the proposed 2017 

drilling campaign. 

The  outlook  for  development  of  the  Duchess  Paradise  coal  deposit  remained  challenging  during  the  2016 

financial year, but a recent upturn in coal prices may represent an early sign that the business environment 

is  turning.  We  continue  to  maintain  the  prospect  in  good  standing  pending  further  evidence  of  improving 

demand circumstances for the project.

I would like to thank all Shareholders for their 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.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

OIL & GAS

Canning Basin – the Fitzroy Blocks

Equity interests in the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) are:

Rey

Buru

Diamond Resources (Fitzroy)

25%

(including 10% free carried to production)

37.5% (operator)

37.5% (subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation)

Rey’s  contribution  to  expenditure  for  the  Fitzroy  Blocks  is  16.7%  (as  10%  of  its  interest  is  free-carried  to 
production). The Fitzroy Blocks (comprising a combined area in excess of 10,000 km2) are located over parts of 

the southern flank of the Fitzroy Graben. The Fitzroy Blocks straddle three major trends:

l

•  the Ungani conventional oil trend (“Ungani Trend”);

•  the Laurel Basin-Centred Gas Accumulation, conventional and unconventional gas; and

•  the Goldwyer oil and gas unconventional shale.

The Ungani Trend includes identified leads and prospects in an area of prospectivity of at least 120 kilometres 
by 40 kilometres (over one million acres or 4,800km2). This extends diagonally, NW-SE, across the Fitzroy Blocks. 

The conventional dolomite reservoir oil discovery by Buru in 2011 at Ungani (located 15 kilometres northwest 

of EP457) on the trend running through the Fitzroy Blocks is a significant regional discovery event. 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.

The joint venture drilled two exploration wells during the year.

Exploration  well  Victory-1  was  spudded  on  9  September  2015  in  EP457,  185  km  east  of  Broome  and  85  km 

southeast of Buru Energy’s producing Ungani Oilfield.  The well was drilled with Atlas Rig 2 to the programmed 

total depth of 2,600 metres.  

6 

Rey Resources Annual Report 2016

 
 
 
At  a  depth  of  1,945  metres  complete  lost  circulation  was  encountered  with  high  and  erratic  drilling  rates 

similar to those encountered elsewhere by the Operator in the Ungani Dolomite.  The drilling system was then 

switched to a managed pressure system but complete losses continued to a depth of 2,600 metres where logs 

were attempted to be run. Logs were initially unable to be obtained deeper than approximately 2,030 metres 

due to hole conditions and several further attempts were made to log the lower part of the hole below the lost 

circulation zone with no success.  The difficulties in acquiring the logs were principally due to a well-developed 

shale  section  below  the  zone  of  lost  circulation.  During  these  logging  operations,  further  problems  with  the 

casing were encountered. After considering the options for remedying the issue, and the associated costs, it 

was agreed by the joint venture to plug and abandon the well bore, meaning that a flow test of the horizon 

where circulation was lost was not operationally achievable.  Abandonment was undertaken in accordance 

with all regulations and oil field practice to ensure all formations were effectively isolated.

100 line-km of 2D seismic data was also acquired in EP457 during the year over prospects Rafael, Wright 

and Victory. 

The Senagi-1 conventional exploration well was spudded on 15 October 2015 in EP 458, 240 km southeast of 

l

Broome  and  144  km  southeast  of  Buru  Energy’s  Ungani  Oilfield.    Senagi-1  was  drilled  with  the  DDH1  Rig#31 

(with  Buru  as  Operator)  and  was  drilled  to  a  total  depth  of  1,045  metres.  The  well  targeted  conventional 

oil  and  gas  in  the  Lower  Laurel  (Ungani  Dolomite)  and  Devonian-aged  (Nullara)  carbonates.    A  total  of 

286m  of  continuous  core  was  cut,  with  97%  recovered.  A  thin  interval  with  vugular  porosity  with  oil  shows 

was  observed  in  core  however,  the  shows  were  interpreted  to  be  residual.    Valuable  data  was  obtained 

which  will  assist  with  correlation  of  core  and  image  logs  over  the  very  well  developed  vugular  dolomite 

reservoir  section.    This  correlation  will  provide  more  certainty  in  the  interpretation  of  the  dolomite  reservoirs 

encountered in future wells. Wireline logs were obtained and the well was plugged and abandoned. All of 

the data from the well is being analysed by the joint venture to ensure the highest chance of success of the 

other prospects in the area.

In advance of the six year permit anniversary in October 2016 and compulsory relinquishment of 50% of the 

area of the two exploration licences, the joint venture applied for a five year extension of the licences with a 

50% area reduction, in July 2016.  

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  (“the  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 in March 2014. It occurs to 

the north of Rey’s interests in the Fitzroy Blocks. The Derby Block is considered to be predominantly a Wet Laurel 

Basin Centred Gas play (“BCG”) which is regionally extensive throughout the Canning Basin and has been the 

subject of exploration in the Canning Basin by other parties in 2015, resulting in encouraging flow tests by Buru 

Energy at Valhalla and Asgard (please refer various BRU ASX releases including releases dated 20 January 2016 

and 18 April 2016).

Rey Resources’ 50% attributable interest in the gross prospective potential recoverable resources estimate of the Laurel BCG 

in EP487 (estimate prepared by 3D-GEO January 2016).

1.  P90 and P50 estimates consider the Laurel section between 2,500-5,000m.
2.  P10 estimates assume an additional 10% of Laurel section.
3.  Tcf- trillion cubic feet.
4.  MMbbl- million barrels.
5.  MMBOE- million barrels oil equivalent. 
6.  SPE PRMS (2011) - Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resource Management System (2011).

Prospective  resources are the estimated quantities  of  petroleum  that  may  be  potentially  recovered  by the 

application of a future development project and relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have 

both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is 

required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

On  3  February  2016,  the  Department  of  Mines  and  Petroleum  of  Western  Australia  approved  a  variation  to 

the Year 2 work program. Well site locations have been proposed by Oil Basins for consideration by the Joint 

Venture for drilling in 2016, in satisfaction of the EP487 Year 2 permit conditions.

On 12 February 2016, Rey announced that it and RLS had commenced legal proceedings against Oil Basins 

in  the  Supreme  Court  of  Western  Australia  seeking  orders  that  Oil  Basins  resign  as  the  Operator  of  EP487 

in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Joint  Operating  Agreement  between  Rey,  RLS  and  Oil  Basins.  The 

proceedings  were  heard  in  the  Western  Australian  Supreme  Court  on  25  May  2016.  On  26  May  2016,  the 

Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Company and Oil Basins was ordered to immediately resign as operator.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2016

 
 
 
Since assuming operatorship, the Company has reviewed the status of the work completed on the permit to 

date in the context of the regional setting.  The study concluded that the original proposed well sites needed 

further de-risking as well as proposing new well sites that may be more favourable.  A 2D seismic acquisition 

survey is planned to occur in the final quarter of 2016.

As a consequence of requiring additional work on the proposed well sites a suspension of the workplan and 

extension of title was requested from DMP in August 2016.

Perth Basin

interests in the licence are as follows:

Rey farmed into EP437 during 2014 through funding the drilling of exploration well Dunnart-2. The beneficial 

Rey (Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd) 

Key Petroleum Limited (Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd) (Operator)      

Pilot Energy Limited 

43.47% 

43.47% 

13.06%

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 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  Knot  prospect  and  is  undertaking 

petrophysical studies as part of preplanning for an exploration well in 2017.

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.

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. 

In August 2016, Rey informed the EPA that it considered the assessment of the proposed project should be 

withdrawn pending an improvement in economic conditions impacting Duchess Paradise.

Company’s ASX announcement dated 28 October 2014. 

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 2016, 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 first 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 2015 

remains valid at 305.8 million tonnes in place.

Governance Arrangements and Internal Controls

The  Company  has  ensured  that  the  Reserves  and  Resources  quoted  are  subject  to  good  governance 

arrangements  and  internal  controls.  The  Reserves  and  Resources  reported  have  been  generated  by 

independent external consultants who are experienced in best practices in modelling and estimation methods. 

The consultants have also undertaken reviews of the quality and suitability of the underlying information used 

to  generate  the  resource  estimation.  In  addition,  Rey  management  carries  out  regular  reviews  of  internal 

processes and external contractors that have been engaged by the Company.

The Reserves and Resources were compiled in accordance with the December 2012 Edition of the “Australasian 

Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Minerals Resources and Ore Reserves”.

2016 Key Management Personnel

The KMP of Rey Resources during the year ended 30 June 2016 were:

Non-Executive Chairman (appointed 13 September 2012)

Non-Executive Director (appointed 13 September 2012)

Non-Executive Director (appointed 1 July 2013) 

Louis Chien 

Alternate Director to Ms Min Yang (appointed 11 January 2016)

Managing Director (appointed Non-Executive Director 2 December 2013,   

appointed Managing Director 1 July 2016)

Managing Director (appointed 9 August 2007, resigned 31 May 2016)

General Manager (resigned 31 January 2016)

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 

Four broad principles govern the remuneration strategy of the Company:  

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.

6. REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED (Continued)

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.

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.

Short term incentive

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 shareholders. 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 

An aggregate fee limit for NED fees of $400,000 was approved at the 2010 Annual General Meeting and no 

NED 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 payable to her related 

entity, Luxe Hill Limited; Mr Baker $120,000 per annum payable to his related entity, Gold Star Industry Ltd; Mr 

Zhang $50,000 per annum payable to his related entity, AMI Corporation Pty Ltd; Mr Jin $60,000 per annum 

payable to his related entity, Crystal Yield Investments Ltd. From 1 December 2015, fees payable to each NED 

were reduced as follows: Ms Yang $48,000 per annum; Mr Baker $60,000 per annum; Mr Zhang $25,000 per 

annum; Mr Jin $30,000 per annum.

7. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of Rey Resources is exploring for and developing energy resources in Western Australia’s 

Canning and Perth Basins. The Company holds coal exploration assets, a 25% interest in  petroleum permits 

EP457 & 458 in joint venture with Buru Energy Limited and Mitsubishi Corporation, a 50% interest in the Derby 

Block EP487 and a 43.47% in petroleum exploration permit EP437.

8. RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the year, Rey Resources continued its strategy of exploring and developing energy resources in Western 

Australia’s Canning Basin 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 

Diamond Resources (Fitzroy) Pty Ltd 

25%  

(of which a 10% interest is free carried to production)

37.5%   (Buru Energy Limited operator)

37.5%   (100% subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation)

The  joint  venture  drilled  two  exploration  wells  during  the  year.  Exploration  well  Victory-1  was  spudded  on  9 

September  2015  in  EP457,  185  km  east  of  Broome  and  85  km  southeast  of  Buru  Energy’s  producing  Ungani 

Oilfield.  The well was drilled with Atlas Rig 2 to the programmed total depth of 2,600 metres.  

At  a  depth  of  1,945  metres  complete  lost  circulation  was  encountered  with  high  and  erratic  drilling  rates 

similar to those encountered elsewhere by the Operator in the Ungani Dolomite.  The drilling system was then 

switched to a managed pressure system but complete losses continued to a depth of 2,600 metres where logs 

were attempted to be run. Logs were initially unable to be obtained deeper than approximately 2,030 metres 

due to hole conditions and several further attempts were made to log the lower part of the hole below the lost 

circulation zone with no success.  The difficulties in acquiring the logs were principally due to a well-developed 

shale  section  below  the  zone  of  lost  circulation.  During  these  logging  operations,  further  problems  with  the 

casing were encountered. After considering the options for remedying the issue, and the associated costs, it 

was agreed by the joint venture to plug and abandon the well bore, meaning that a flow test of the horizon 

where circulation was lost was not operationally achievable.  Abandonment was undertaken in accordance 

with all regulations and oil field practice to ensure all formations were effectively isolated.

100 line-km of 2D seismic data was acquired in EP457 over prospects Rafael, Wright and Victory. Processing of 

this data was completed and early results suggest Wright to be a promising drill target.

The Senagi-1 conventional exploration well was spudded on 15 October 2015 in EP458, 240 km southeast of 

Broome  and  144  km  southeast  of  Buru  Energy’s  Ungani  Oilfield.    Senagi-1  was  drilled  with  the  DDH1  Rig#31 

(with Buru as Operator) and was drilled to a total depth of 1,045 metres. The well targeted conventional oil 

and gas in the Lower Laurel (Ungani Dolomite) and Devonian-aged (Nullara) carbonates.  A total of 286m of 

continuous core was cut, with 97% recovered. A thin interval with vugular porosity with oil shows was observed 

in  core  however,  the  shows  were  interpreted  to  be  residual.    Valuable  data  was  obtained  which  will  assist 

with correlation of core and image logs over the very well developed vugular dolomite reservoir section.  This 

correlation will provide more certainty in the interpretation of the dolomite reservoirs encountered in future wells. 

Wireline logs were obtained and the well was plugged and abandoned. All of the data from the well is being 

analysed by the joint venture to ensure the highest chance of success of the other prospects in the area.

8. RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

As part of the title conditions of both EP457 and EP458, the Joint Venture is required to relinquish 50% of the 

licence area of both permits at the end of Title Year 6 in October 2016. Buru Energy, as Operator, completed 

permit reviews in 2Q 2016 and proposed areas for mandatory relinquishment to the Joint Venture. Following 

consideration and unanimous agreement on the relinquishment areas by the JV parties, applications to renew 

both permits were lodged with the regulator.  

Derby Block (EP487)

OBL). The equity interests in the permit are :

Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd 

Oil Basins Limited 

50%

50%

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 (“the Derby 

Block”)  from  Backreef  Oil  Pty  Ltd  and  entered  into  a  Joint  Venture  Agreement  with  Oil  Basins  Limited  (ASX: 

The  Derby  Block  is  considered  to  be  predominantly  a  Wet  Laurel  Basin  Centred  Gas  play  (“BCG”)  which  is 

regionally extensive throughout the Canning Basin. 

A new estimate of the gross prospective potential recoverable resource estimate (TCF gas recoverable) of the 

BCG play in the Derby Block (onshore portion) was provided by Oil Basins (OBL ASX release dated 15 January 2016). 

In  September  2015,  the  joint  venture,  lodged  a  work  plan  variation  and  on  5  February  2016  Oil  Basins 

announced that the joint venture  had been successful in its application to have the Work Program for Year 1 

deemed complete and the Work Program Year 2 variation approved by the WA regulator, the Department of 

Mines and Petroleum. The Year 2 Work Program requires the drilling of two exploration wells in 2016.

On 12 February 2016, Rey announced that it and RLS had commenced legal proceedings against Oil Basins 

in  the  Supreme  Court  of  Western  Australia  seeking  orders  that  Oil  Basins  resign  as  the  Operator  of  EP487  in 

accordance with the terms of the Joint Operating Agreement between Rey, RLS and Oil Basins. 

The proceedings were heard in the Western Australian Supreme Court on 25 May 2016. On 26 May 2016, the 

Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Company and Oil Basins was ordered to immediately resign as operator.

Since  assuming  operatorship,  the  Company  has  reviewed  the  status  of  the  work  completed  on  the  permit 

to  date  in  the  context  of  the  regional  setting  and  proposed  new  well  sites  to  the  joint  venture  as  well  as 

geophysical studies.

Perth Basin (EP437)

The beneficial interests in EP437 are as follows:

Key Petroleum Limited (Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd) (Operator) 

Rey (Rey Oil and Gas Perth Pty Ltd) 

Pilot Energy Limited

8. RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The  Joint  Venture  continued  to  review  the  prospectivity  of  the  basin  during  the  quarter  and  decided  to 

reprocess approximately 130kms of vintage 2D seismic data across the Wye Not and Becos prospects.  The 

permit conditions requires a commitment well in 2017.

Rey’s thermal coal tenements are located in the Fitzroy Trough of the Canning Basin, north Western Australia 

and are partly contiguous with the Fitzroy Blocks petroleum tenements. The Canning Basin is well situated to 

feed the strong Asian demand for Australian export thermal coal for power generation.

Duchess Paradise Project

in June 2011. 

l

The 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 of the Project was completed 

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. In August 2016, Rey informed the EPA that it considered the assessment of the proposed project should 

be withdrawn pending an improvement in economic conditions impacting Duchess Paradise. However, Rey is 

currently meeting its statutory expenditure commitments on the Duchess Paradise project and the intention is 

to realise the value of the project through development. Management has re-assessed the carrying value of 

the Duchess Paradise exploration and evaluation asset using a fair value calculation. The calculation supports 

the carrying value of the Duchess Paradise exploration and evaluation asset however changes in certain key 

assumptions, such as the coal price (US$65 per tonne), FX (AUD:USD $0.74) and the post-tax discount rate (10%) 

may result in an impairment of the carrying value of the asset.

contract, the premium paid cannot be disclosed.

The officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include any person acting in the course of duties 

for the Company who is, or was, a Director, Company Secretary or senior manager within the Company.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may 

be brought against the officers, in their capacity as officers, of the Company, and any other payments arising 

from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings. This does not include such liabilities 

that arise from conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of 

their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the 

Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal 

costs and those relating to other liabilities.

Notes to the 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 Suite 5, 62 Ord Street, West Perth WA 6005. The consolidated financial statements of the 

Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2016 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together 

referred  to  as  “Rey  Resources”  or  the  “Group”).  The  Group  is  a  for-profit  entity  and  is  primarily  involved  in 

mineral 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 

l

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 23 September  2016. 

(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 2016 the Group incurred a loss of $3,998,000  and incurred operating and investing  

cash outflows of $5,019,000. The loss for the period was significantly impacted by the recognition of non-cash 

impairment losses on exploration and evaluation assets of $2,329,000. As at 30 June 2016 the Group had cash 

of $1,157,000,net working capital of $845,000 and net assets of $37,091,000. 

The  Group  has  prepared  a  cashflow  forecast  for  the  12  months  ending  30  September  2017.  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 and Perth properties. Rey is considering funding alternatives in the 

form of debt and equity, including discussions with existing shareholders, and with third parties for farming out 

certain petroleum interests.

Notes to the financial statements (Continued)

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

The Directors believe that sufficient funding will be available in the timeframes required and that the adoption 

of the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. The matters referred to above indicate the existence 

of a material uncertainty 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. 

(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  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191  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 2(b)  - going concern

Note 6      - recoverability of tax losses.

Note 12     - ultimate recoupment of carried forward exploration expenditure.

Note 20     - 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

and its subsidiaries.

(i) Subsidiaries

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  Rey  Resources  Limited 

Subsidiaries  are  entities  controlled  by  the  Group.  The  Group  controls  an  enity  when  it  is  exposed  to,  or  has 

rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through 

its  power  over  the  entity.  The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  included  in  the  consolidated  financial 

statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. 

(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and expenses on transactions between companies 

of the consolidated entity are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(iii) Loss of control

On the loss of control, the Group de-recognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling 

interests and the other components of equity  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 arrangements

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.

Notes to the financial statements (Continued)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(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. 

l

Loans and receivables

Loans  and  receivables  are  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not  quoted  in  an 

active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. 

Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective 

interest method, less any impairment losses.  

Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months 

Cash and cash equivalents

or less.  

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

cancelled or expire.

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 

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.

Notes to the financial statements (Continued)

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(d) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

accumulated impairment losses.  

Items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and 

Cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the  asset.  The  cost  of  self-

constructed  assets  includes  the  cost  of  materials  and  direct  labour,  any  other  costs  directly  attributable  to 

bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the 

items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software 

that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as 

separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing 

the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised 

net within other income/other expenses in profit or loss. 

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying 

amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow 

to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. 

The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation  is  based  on  the  cost  of  an  asset  less  its  residual  value.  Significant  components  of  individual 

assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that 

component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component 

of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and 

their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 (e) Exploration and development assets

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable 

area of interest. 

At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  capitalised  exploration  and  evaluation  expenditure  is  assessed 

for impairment. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped 

through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage 

that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. 

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which 

the decision to abandon the area is made. 

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the 

life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. 

A  regular  review  is  undertaken  of  each  area  of  interest  to  determine  the  appropriateness  of  continuing  to 

carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. 

Costs of the site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and 

are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining 

plants, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with 

clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal 

requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis. Any changes in the estimates for costs are accounted 

on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and 

extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have 

been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site. 

(f) Impairment

(i) Non-derivative financial assets

A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine 

whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  it  is  impaired.    A  financial  asset  is  impaired  if  objective  evidence 

indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a 

negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

Loans and receivables and held-to maturity securities

In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries 

and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and 

credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference 

between  its  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the 

asset’s  original  effective  interest  rate.  Losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and  reflected  in  an  allowance 

account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding 

of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in 

impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. 

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 

(g) Employee benefits

to be made for those benefits.

(i) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the 

related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash 

bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a 

result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(ii) Share-based payment transactions

The  grant  date  fair  value  of  share-based  payment  awards  granted  to  employees  is  recognised  as 

an  employee  expense,  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity,  over  the  period  that  the  employees 

unconditionally become entitled to the awards.  The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect 

the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be 

met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet 

the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.  For share-based payment 

awards  with  non-vesting  conditions,  the  grant  date  fair  value  of  the  share-based  payment  is  measured  to 

reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

(h) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST 

incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances GST is recognised as part 

of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the 

balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 

investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

recognised for:

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 

•  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.

F

The  Group  presents  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  data  for  its  ordinary  shares.    Basic  earnings  per 

share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the 

weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.  

Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and 

the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of 

all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options and share performance rights granted to 

employees.

 (k) Segment reporting

An  operating  segment  is  a  component  of  the  Group  that  engages  in  business  activities  from  which  it  may 

earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of 

the Group’s other components. All operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Operating 

Decision maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of 

the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.

Segment  capital  expenditure  is  the  total  cost  incurred  during  the  period  to  acquire  property,  plant  and 

equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

 (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.

l

(o) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

In  the  year  ended  30  June  2016,  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 material impact of the new and revised Standards and 

Interpretations on its business that are not already disclosed, and therefore, no change is necessary to Group

At  30  June  2016,  the  Group  has  tax  losses  arising  in  Australia  of  $74,471,305  (2015:  $69,020,361)  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  the  period,  Rey  Resources  completed  a  rights  issue  of  248,095,469  shares  at  $0.015  per  share.  The 

rights issue took place on two dates, with the first date having a 25% discount to the market price and the 

second date having a 50% discount to the market price. Therefore a bonus was received by shareholders who 

participated in the rights issue. Accordingly, earnings per share for the 2015 comparative period have been 

adjusted for the bonus element of the issue by multiplying the average weighted number of shares prior to the 

rights issue by 1.07 (i.e. a 7% bonus element).

8. CALCULATION OF LOSS PER SHARE 

Basic loss  per share is calculated as loss for the period attributable to the parent entity (2016: $3,998,000 loss; 

2015: $10,200,000 loss) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares (2016: 832,749,305; 2015: 

728,837,778). 

Diluted loss per share represents loss for the period attributable to the parent entity divided by the weighted 

average number of ordinary shares (2016: 836,175,972; 2015: 732,264,445) which has been adjusted to reflect 

the number of shares which would be issued the performance share rights were to be exercised (2016: 3,426,667; 

2015: 3,426,667). Due to the loss attributable to the parent entity for the year ended 30 June 2016, the effect 

of these instruments and the impact of the share rights issue on these instruments has been excluded in the 30 

June 2016 calculation of diluted earnings per share as they would reduce the loss per share.

During  2016,  as  a  result  of  the  impairment  testing  process  at  30  June  2016,  the  Group  recognised  an 

impairment loss of $2,329,000 with respect to relinquishment of tenements exploration licenses. The impairment 

loss  was recognised  in  ’exploration    impairment’  on  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  other  

comprehensive Income.

Management has re-assessed the carrying value of the Duchess Paradise exploration and evaluation asset 

using a fair value calculation. The calculation supports the carrying value of the Duchess Paradise exploration 

and evaluation asset however changes in certain key assumptions, such as the coal price (US$65 per tonne), 

FX (AUD:USD $0.74) and the post-tax discount rate (10%) may result in an impairment of the carrying value of 

the asset.

options and share rights awarded as share-based payments. During the year to June 2016 the share based

Energy  NL.  The  closing  price  of  Norwest  shares  as  at  30  June  2016  was  $0.002  per  share  and  as  a  result  an 

impairment of $144,000 was made for the financial year ended 30 June 2016. The diminution in share price

20.  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 outstanding at 30th June 2016.

Share performance rights programme (equity-settled)

l

Executives are eligible to participate in the 2011 Executive Incentive Rights Plan (“2011 EIRP”), which replaced 

an earlier 2010 EIRP and was approved at the 2011 Annual General Meeting. The 2011 EIRP aligns the reward 

of the participants with the long term creation of shareholder value as outlined below. 

The 2011 EIRP enables 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 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.

In  relation  to  the  share  rights  granted  to  the  executive  KMP,  the  Board  has  determined  the  service  and/

or  performance  conditions  that  need  to  be  satisfied  for  incentive  rights  to  vest  along  with  the  relationship 

between  the  various  potential  levels  of  performance  and  levels  of  vesting  that  may  occur.  Performance 

conditions will be determined by the Board for each tranche of each offer and may vary between offers.

Following the end of the measurement period, the Board will determine for each tranche of incentive rights to 

which the measurement period applies, the extent to which they vest. If the incentive rights in a tranche have 

not vested and there is no opportunity for those incentive rights to vest at a later date, they lapse.

Inputs for measurement of grant date fair values

l

The grant date fair value of the rights granted, the vesting conditions of which were subject to the Company's 

absolute  total  shareholder  return  over  the  measurement  period,  was  measured  based  on  Monte  Carlo 

simulation model.  The grant date fair value of other share-based payments was measured based on the fair 

value of the shares on the grant date and for options issued fair value was measured based on the Black-

Scholes valuation model. The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the share-

based payment plans, which were subject to the vesting conditions relating to the Company's absolute total 

shareholder return are the following:

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management 

framework.  

The  Group  does  not  use  any  form  of  derivatives  for  speculative  purposes.  The  Group  is  not  at  a  level  of 

exposure that requires the use of derivatives to hedge its exposure.

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are liquidity risk and market risk which 

includes interest rate risk.

Notes to the financial statements (Continued)

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to 

meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, and trade 

and other receivables.

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

The  Group  limits  its  exposure  to  credit  risk  in  respect  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  other  deposits  with 

banks by only dealing with reputable banks with high credit ratings.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect 

to any single counter party or group of counter parties. The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk 

l

as there were no trading operations during the year.

At 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015, there was no allowance for doubtful debts and there were no receivables 

past due but not impaired. 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  will  not  be  able  to  meet  its  financial  obligations  as  they  fall  due.  The 

Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity 

to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable 

losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves from funds raised in the market, by 

continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring that adequate uncommitted funding is 

available and maintained. 

The  following  are  the  expected  maturities  of  financial  assets  and  the  contractual  maturities  of  financial 

liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements:

The Group is not exposed to currency risk at the reporting date because the Group holds no financial assets or 

liabilities denominated in foreign currency.

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is the risk that a 

financial instrument’s fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates 

on interest-bearing financial instruments.

At the reporting date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets exposed to interest rate risk. There 

were no financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT – KPMG

ABCD

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

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Rey Resources Limited (the Company), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on 
that date, notes 1 to 26 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other 
explanatory information, and the Directors’ Declaration of the Group comprising the Company 
and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

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

Auditor’s Responsibility 

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

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

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

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

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001.
