CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Dear fellow Shareholder,
It is my pleasure to deliver Rey Resources’ Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2018.
Our key focus during this period remained on our coal project development and oil and gas exploration
business in the Canning Basin in Western Australia.
During the year ended 30 June 2018, we completed the acquisition of the Lennard Shelf Blocks, which
includes one petroleum Production Licence, L15, situated to the north of EP487, which will potentially provide
Rey an opportunity to achieve production in the short term. The Lennard Shelf Blocks extend Rey’s interests
in the Canning Basin and enable Rey to conduct larger scale oil and gas exploration in the region. We also
completed the planned new 2D seismic acquisition work for EP487, which will assist in the development of the
Butler Prospect.
l
The Ungani Trend remains the priority exploration target in the Fitzroy Block, following the successful drilling on
Ungani 4 and Ungani 5 by the Operator, Buru Energy Limited. Rey continues to work with the Joint Venture
partners on an integrated study for identified leads in the Fitzroy Block.
Post the year end, the Company entered into a cooperation framework agreement with Yuanrun Investment
Ltd for the sale of 100% of the shares in Blackfin Pty Ltd, which holds the Company’s Duchess Paradise Coal
Project, for a total consideration of A$24 million. Further updates on this transaction can be obtained through
our ASX announcements. Shareholders overwhelmingly approved the transaction on 13 September 2018.
Duchess Paradise is still significant to Rey, with the intention that Yuanrun Investment Ltd will progress a listing
and capital raising on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to fund the future mine development. We are working
with Yuanrun to progress the Duchess Paradise Coal 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 the next
exciting year.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK
OIL & GAS
1.1 Background
1. Canning Basin – the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458)
Equity interests in the Fitzroy Blocks (EP457 and EP458) are currently:
Rey (Rey Oil & Gas Pty Ltd)
Buru
Diamond Resources (Barbwire)
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 5,000 kilometres2) 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 4,800 kilometre2). This extends diagonally, north-west to south-east,
across the Fitzroy Blocks. The conventional dolomite reservoir oil discovery by Buru in 2011 at Ungani (located
15 kilometres north-west 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.
1.2 Work program during the year
The Joint Venture drilled two exploration wells and completed the 100 line kilometre seismic survey program
over prospects Rafael, Wright and Victory in 2015. The drilling results were continually analysed during FY2018.
6
Rey Resources Annual Report 2018
Exploration well Victory-1 was spudded on 9 September 2015 in EP457, 185 kilometres east of Broome and
85 kilometres southeast of Buru Energy’s producing Ungani Oilfield. The well was drilled with an 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.
The Senagi-1 conventional exploration well was spudded on 15 October 2015 in EP458, 240 kilometres south-
east of Broome and 144 kilometres south-east 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 286 metres 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.
The Operator completed the final reports for Victory-1 and Senagi-1 exploration wells. Both reports and all of
the associated well data were lodged with the regulator, the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and
Safety (“DMIRS”) and this completed all mandatory reporting and data submission requirements.
The Operator planned the committed first permit year Magneto-Telluric (MT) survey after being granted the
second five year term on 6 January 2017.

The Joint Venture parties lodged applications for suspension of the work program requirements for EP457 and
EP458 with the DMIRS on 28 July 2017. These applications were lodged due to the uncertainty generated
by the WA Government’s introduction of a moratorium on hydraulic fracture stimulation (fracking) pending
the outcome of a scientific inquiry. A 24 month suspension of work program for the two permits was granted
on 23 April 2018. Accordingly, the Operator has discontinued the planned Magneto-Telluric (MT) survey.
The Operator continues to conduct geology studies over the permits and the MT survey is expected to be
conducted in 2020.

2. Canning Basin - the Derby Block (EP487)
2.1 Background
The Derby Block (EP487) is a large petroleum exploration permit of approximately 5,000 kilometre2. It occurs
to the north-west 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).
In June 2015, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd (“RLS”) completed the
acquisition of a 50% participating interest in EP487 from Backreef Oil Pty Ltd. The Company 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.
l
In June 2016, RLS assumed Operatorship of the Derby Block and Rey reached an agreement with Oil Basins to
acquire its remaining 50% participating interest. In May 2017, Rey completed the transaction with Oil Basins and
acquired the remaining 50% interest in EP487 via its wholly owned subsidiary, Rey Derby Block Pty Ltd (“RDB”).
According to the agreement, Rey has an option to acquire Oil Basins Royalties Limited (“OBR”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of OBL, for up to $400,000 within 3 months if OBL fails to complete the sale of OBR within 6
months of completion of this agreement. OBR holds various royalties including two on hydrocarbon sales from
Derby Block.
Equity interests in the Derby Block are currently:
Rey (Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd)
Rey (Rey Derby Block Pty Ltd)
50%
50%
2.2 Work program during the year
Since assuming Operatorship of the Derby Block, the Company has reviewed the status of the work completed
on the permit to date in the context of the regional setting. On 21 September 2017, a work program revision and
12-month commitment work suspension and extension was granted by DMIRS. The two well drilling condition to
December 2017 has been replaced by one well and 60 kilometre seismic acquisition by end of 2018.
Terrex was appointed as the contractor to conduct the planned 60 kilometre new seismic survey. The survey was
completed in October 2017 without any safety or environmental issues. The seismic results were processed and
received by the Company in November 2017 and are under interpretation. This work was planned in early 2017
to identify the Butler Prospect. The potential of conventional target, Butler Prospect, has been initially identified
based on the geology studies results. The new seismic data will be used to optimise the well locations.
On 20 March 2018, a further 12 month commitment work suspension and extension was granted by the DMIRS.
The commitment drilling is deferred to December 2019.

2.3 Prospective Resources
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 3D Geo in June 2017. The Company’s 100%
interest in these Prospective Potential Recoverable Resources (unrisked, probabilistic estimate) of the Derby
Block BCG play is provided in Table 1 below.

4. MMBOE- million barrels oil equivalent. Calculated using ratio of 6.22 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent to 1 million barrels of crude oil.
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.
3. Lennard Shelf Blocks – EP104, R1 and L15
In May 2018, Rey entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Key Petroleum Ltd (“Key”) and Indigo
Oil Pty Ltd (“Indigo”) to acquire the Lennard Shelf Blocks which were held by Key and Indigo, comprising
an exploration permit (“EP104”), a Retention Lease (“R1”) and one Production Licence (“L15”). The Lennard
Shelf Blocks are situated to the north of Rey’s existing interests in the Canning Basin petroleum exploration
licence, EP487 covering a total area of approximately 1,145 kilometres2 and are considered prospective for
conventional oil and tight gas.
Rey has acquired from Key 100% of the shares in Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd (“Gulliver”), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Key, which held majority interests in the Lennard Shelf Blocks.

In addition, Indigo agreed to transfer Indigo’s interests in each of EP104, R1 and L15 to Gulliver. Following
Completion of this transfer in August 2018, Gulliver now holds 100% of the Lennard Shelf Blocks. Further, Gulliver
has agreed to grant a commercial royalty of 2.5% and 0.5% to Key and Indigo separately over R1 and L15
upon completion of each applicable transfer.

3.2 Work Program during the year
During the report period, Rey has completed a series of geological studies to identify potential exploration
targets in the Lennard Shelf blocks, including the studies on the potential re-production of West Kora oilfield.
On 21 June 2018, a suspension and extension application in relation to the committed geochemical survey of
EP 104 and R1 was lodged and was granted on 30 July 2018.
L15 is a production licence with production history in the West Kora oilfield. An estimation of oil Reserves and
contingent oil Resources for the West Kora oilfield and Point Torment gas discovery in R1 was announced to
3.3 Prospective Resources
ASX by Key on 30 September 2015.
COAL
The Duchess Paradise Coal 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
l
was completed in June 2011.
On 17 July 2018, the Company entered into a cooperation framework agreement with Yuanrun Investment Ltd
for the sale of 100% of the shares in Blackfin Pty Ltd, which holds the Duchess Paradise Coal Project for a total
consideration of A$24 million. The transfer of the ownership of shares in Blackfin will only occur once approval
of Rey's shareholders and approvals from the relevant governments and regulatory authorities has been
obtained. Rey’s shareholders approved the transaction on 13 September 2018.

For further information on the above summary of Mineral Resources estimates, please refer to the Company’s
ASX announcement dated 28 October 2014.
Material Changes and Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Comparison
The Company reviews its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 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 Mineral Resources and/or Ore Reserves over the course of the year, the
Company is required to promptly report these changes as they occur.
Rey has undertaken an annual review of its Mineral Resources for the year ended 30 June 2018, which was
conducted by independent consultant ROM Resources. The historical factors were examined and found not
to have materially changed the estimate for the Mineral Resources of Duchess Paradise P1-seam from the
time they were first reported to ASX on 28 October 2014 (at which time the Mineral 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). As the Duchess Paradise Coal Project has
not commenced active operation, no resource depletion has occurred for the review period. The review
indicated that the Mineral Resource defined in the ASX announcement on 28 October 2014 remains consistent
to the date of this Annual Report, with an estimated total of 305.8 million tonnes in place.
As announced on 20 September 2017, the Company withdrew its Ore Reserves for the Duchess Paradise P1-
seam, as first reported in 2011. During the year the Company engaged an expert to undertake a review with a
focus on updating the economic and financial model which is expected to result in an increased Ore Reserve,
in comparison to the 2011 DFS. Other factors that may also require revision include transportation pathways.
As a result, the Company is not in a position to report the outcome of its annual review of Ore Reserves in this
Annual Report.

Remuneration policy
to these roles.
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:
1. To set demanding levels of performance for KMP and to align their remuneration with the achievement of
clearly defined targets.
2. To provide market competitive remuneration and conditions in the current market for high quality Directors
and executives.
3. To align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value and the achievement of Company strategy,
objectives and performance.
4. 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.

6. REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (continued)
6.1 Principles of compensation (continued)
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
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
l
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
package.
Executive remuneration components
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.
Short term incentive
Long term incentive
Executives are eligible to participate in the Rey Resources Limited Executive Incentive Rights Plan (“EIRP”), which
was adopted by shareholders on 23 November 2011 and re-approved at the Company’s 2014 Annual General
Meeting. The EIRP aligns the reward of the participants with the long term creation of shareholder value.
The EIRP enables participants to be granted rights to acquire shares subject to the satisfaction of certain vesting
conditions which will be determined by the Board from time to time. 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 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.

6.1 Principles of compensation (continued)
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 Total Shareholder Return (“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
l
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.
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 $48,000 per annum payable to her related
entity, Luxe Hill Limited; Mr Baker $60,000 per annum payable to his related entity, Gold Star Industry Ltd; Mr
Zhang $25,000 per annum payable to his related entity, AMI Corporation Pty Ltd; Dr Ou $54,000 per annum plus

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 100% 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, with particular focus on its oil and gas assets.
Oil and Gas
Fitzroy Blocks (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:
l
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)
Fitzroy Block is considered prospective for conventional oil. It is close to Ungani oil field and on the Ungani Oil
Trend. Two wells have been drilled in 2015 and tens of prospects has been identified by operator in the block
for future development.
EP457 and EP458 was granted a further five year term commencing on 6 January 2017 with first year
commitment work of Magneto-Telluric (MT) survey.
During the reporting period, the 24 months suspensions of work program for the two permits was lodged on 28
July 2017 and granted on 23 April 2018. These applications were lodged due to the uncertainty generated by
the WA government’s introduction of a moratorium on hydraulic fracture stimulation pending the outcome of
an independent scientific inquiry. Accordingly, the operator has discontinued the planned Magneto-Telluric (MT)
survey. The operator is continually conducting geology studies over the permits and the MT survey is expected to
be conducted in the near future.
Derby Block (EP487)
Rey Resources holds 100% equity interests in EP487 (“Derby Block”) through the following wholly owned subsidiaries:
Rey Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd
Rey Derby Block Pty Ltd
50%
50%
The Derby Block is a large exploration licence with an area of approximately 5,000 km2. The block is considered
prospective for basin centred wet gas. It occurs to the north of Rey’s existing interests in petroleum exploration
licences in the Canning Basin.

Rey Resources Annual Report 2018
8. RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)
On 21 September 2017, a work program revision and 12-month commitment work suspension and extension
was granted by DMP. The two wells drilling condition to December 2017 has been replaced by one well and
60km seismic acquisition by end of 2018.
On 20 March 2018, a further 12 month commitment work suspension and extension was granted by DMP. The
commitment drilling is deferred to December 2019.
During the report period, Terrex was appointed as the contractor to conduct the planned 60km new seismic
survey. The survey was completed in October 2017 without any safety and environmental issues. The seismic
results were processed and received by the Company in November 2017 and is under interpretation.
The potential of conventional target, Butler Prospect, has been initially identified based on the geology studies
results. The new seismic data will be used to optimal the well locations.
Lennard Shelf Blocks (EP104, R1, L15)
On 14 May 2018, the Company announced the acquisition from Key Petroleum Ltd (“Key”) 100% of the shares
in Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd (“Gulliver”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Key which holds majority interests in
EP104, R1 and L15 (together the “Lennard Shelf Blocks”). In consideration, the Company agreed to transfer
to Key 100% of its wholly owned subsidiary, Rey Oil & Gas Perth Pty Ltd, which sole asset is a 43.47% interest in
EP437.
In addition, Indigo Oil Pty Ltd (“Indigo”) agreed to transfer its interests in Lennard Shelf Blocks to Gulliver. Further,
Gulliver agreed to grant a commercial royalty of 2.5% and 0.5% to Key and Indigo separately over R1 and L15
upon completion of each applicable transfer. The transaction with Indigo was approved by the regulators on
1 August 2018 and Rey holds 100% of the three permits by the report date.
L15 is a production licence with production history in West Kora oil field. An estimation of oil reserves and
contingent oil resource for West Kora oilfield and Point Torment gas discover in R1 was provided by third party
in September 2015. The estimated remaining reserves and resources is listed in table below.

Coal
Duchess Paradise Project
The Duchess Paradise Project is a proposed bituminous thermal coal in the Canning Basin, north Western
Australia. A Definitive Feasibility Study of the Project was completed in June 2011. The project covers 3 tenements.
During the period, two tenements of the project have been renewed for one year until 20 January 2019 and
19 April 2019 respectively. Rey has also completed the first phase Definitive Feasibility Study update. The
results significantly increased the recoverable reserves by the new mining method. A valuation also has been
conducted by a third party in February 2018 and the calculation supports the carrying value of the project.
A Mining Licence covering three tenements is under application. Warden’s court is considering the application
after particular and support documents were lodged by Rey and objectors in early 2018. An initial result has
come out that the decision of Warden related to EPA will not be affected by the environmental objections.The

Rey and Yuanrun Investment Ltd (“Yuanrun”) entered into a cooperation framework agreement (“Agreement”)
on 17 July 2018 for the sale of 100% of the shares in Blackfin Pty Ltd (“Blackfin”). Blackfin is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Rey which holds interests in a coal project in Western Australia, the Duchess Paradise Thermal
Coal Project (“DP Project”). The consideration for the sale of Blackfin is A$24,000,000, consisting of an initial
cash payment of A$2,000,000 and a convertible loan with a face value of A$22,000,000.
The convertible loan of A$22 million (“CL”) will bear an interest of 3% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis.
The CL will be guaranteed by a guarantor, the identity of whom is to be agreed by the parties. The CL will be
convertible into shares in a project company (“Project Company”), which will hold interests in the DP Project,
upon the Project Company's listing on a mutually approved stock exchange (preferably, the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange) (“Listing”). The issue price for securities in the Project Company has not yet been determined.
The Agreement contemplates that the Listing will occur within three years from all licenses being obtained
for the Project Company. Within this three-year period, construction of a coal mine must also commence
(“Construction”). If Listing and Construction do not occur within the three-year period, the parties can agree
to negotiate on extending the period for Listing and Construction by a further 24 months. In the event that the
Project Company is unable to achieve Listing and Construction within the agreed period, the Agreement shall
be terminated by the parties and Yuanrun or the guarantor shall repay in full any remaining amounts under the
CL together with any accrued interest in cash.
At the general meeting of the Company held on 13 September 2018, the Agreement has been approved by
shareholders of the Company.

costs and those relating to other liabilities.

Notes to the consolidated financial report
For the year ended 30 June 2018
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 2018 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
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 27 September 2018.
(b) Going concern
ordinary course of business.
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
For the year ended 30 June 2018 the Group incurred a loss of $1,049,000 and incurred operating and investing
cash outflows of $2,474,000. As at 30 June 2018 the Group had cash of $36,000, net working capital deficiency
of $2,630,000 and net assets of $36,463,000.
The Group has prepared a cashflow forecast for the period ending 31 October 2019. The cashflow forecasts
demonstrates the expected receipt of $2 million for the sale of Duchess Paradise and also 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 while discretionary expenditure includes staff costs, company overheads etc. The
Directors are evaluating funding alternatives in the form of debt and equity, including discussions with existing
shareholders, and with third parties for farming out certain petroleum interests.
Rey Resources Annual Report 2018

Notes to the consolidated financial report (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

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

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:

- Recoverability of tax losses.
- Ultimate recoupment of carried forward exploration expenditure.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of consolidation
subsidiaries.
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Rey Resources Limited and its
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity 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 is 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.

F
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
Loans and receivables
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 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 or less.
Cash and cash equivalents
(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
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.
The estimated depreciation rates for the current and comparative years are as follows:

At the end of each reporting period, the capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for
impairment. This expenditure is only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped

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.

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 may be uncertainty
regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation.
(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.
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
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
l
result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(ii) Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as
an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees
unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect
the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be
met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet
the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment
awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to
reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(h) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances GST is recognised as part
of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the
balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(i) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or
loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in
other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect
of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not
recognised for:
• temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
• temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities
to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future taxable temporary
differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they
reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to
the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a
consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. The head entity within
the tax-consolidated group is Rey Resources Limited. Current income tax expense / benefit, deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated
group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using
the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

(j) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per
share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of
all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options and share performance rights granted to
employees.
(k) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may
earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of
the Group’s other components. All operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Operating
Decision maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of
the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and
equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.
(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
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are
not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30
June 2018. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard
replaces all previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace AASB 139 'Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement'. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial
assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose
objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely
principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value
through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and
losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). For financial
liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit
risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting
requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities
of the entity. New impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an
allowance. Impairment will be measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial
instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted.
The standard introduces additional new disclosures. The Group expects to adopt this standard from 1 July 2018
but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed.

a

s
r
e
p
r
o
F
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard
provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will
recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The
standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate
performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of
money excluding credit risk; allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a
basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct
observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit
risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue. For goods, the performance
obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance
obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to
l
customers. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure
of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity’s statement of financial position as a contract liability,
a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the
customer’s payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand
the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made in applying the guidance to those contracts;
and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer. The Group expects
to adopt this standard from 1 July 2018. The impact of its adoption is yet to be finalised, however no material
impacted is expected on the financial statement of the group from adopting this standard.
AASB 16 Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard
replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases.
Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured as
the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions
relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and
small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised
or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease
will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred
and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense
recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and
an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the
lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses
under AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be
improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under
AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both
a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor
accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The Group will adopt
this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed.

At 30 June 2018, the Group has tax losses arising in Australia of $79,503,136 (2017: $76,790,474) 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. The ability of the Group to utilise these tax losses will depend on whether the Group is determined to
pass the Australian Tax Office rules of continuity of ownership test, or failing that, the same business test.
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.

owned subsidiary of Key which holds majority interests in EP104, R1 and L15 (together the “Lennard Shelf Blocks”). In consideration, the
Company agreed to transfer to Key 100% of its wholly owned subsidiary, Rey Oil & Gas Perth Pty Ltd, which sole asset is a 43.47% interest
in EP437. In addition, Indigo Oil Pty Ltd (“Indigo”) agreed to transfer its interests in Lennard Shelf Blocks to Gulliver. The transaction with
Indigo was approved by the regulators on 1 August 2018 and Rey now holds 100 % of the three permits. Further exploration works may
be carried out by the Company and the costs for the Lennard Shelf Blocks were accordingly classified as exploration and evaluation
expenditures in these financial statements.

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
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with
banks by only dealing with reputable banks with high credit ratings.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect
to any single counter party or group of counter parties. The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk
as there were no trading operations during the year.
At 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017, 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.

Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2(b), “Going concern” in the financial report. The conditions disclosed in Note
2(b), indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue
as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
In concluding there is a material uncertainty related to going concern we evaluated the extent of
uncertainty regarding events or conditions casting significant doubt in the Group’s assessment of going
concern. This included:
Analysing the cash flow projections by:
Evaluating the underlying data used to generate the projections for consistency with other
information tested by us, our understanding of the Group’s intentions, and past results and
practices;
Assessing the planned levels of operating and capital expenditures for consistency of relationships
and trends to the Group’s historical results, results since year end, and our understanding of the
business, industry and economic conditions of the Group;
Assessing significant non-routine forecast cash inflows and outflows including the impact of the share
issue subsequent to year end for feasibility, quantum and timing. We used our knowledge of the
client, its industry and current status of those initiatives to assess the level of associated uncertainty.
Reading Directors minutes and relevant correspondence with the Group’s advisors to understand
the Group’s ability to raise additional shareholder funds, and assess the level of associated
uncertainty; and
Evaluating the Group’s going concern disclosures in the financial report by comparing them to our
understanding of the matter, the events or conditions incorporated into the cash flow projection
assessment, the Group’s plans to address those events or conditions, and accounting standard
requirements. We specifically focused on the principle matters giving rise to the material uncertainty.
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the Financial Report of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matter described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have
determined the matter described below to be the Key Audit Matter.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure ($41,825,000)
Refer to Note 13 ‘Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure’
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
capitalised (E&E) is a key audit matter due to:
the significance of the activity to the Group’s
business and the balance (being 99% of
total assets); and
the greater level of audit effort to evaluate
the Group’s application of the requirements
of the industry specific accounting standard
AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of
Mineral Resources, in particular the
conditions allowing capitalisation of relevant
expenditure and presence of impairment
indicators. The presence of impairment
indicators would necessitate a detailed
analysis by the Group of the value of E&E,
therefore given the criticality of this to the
scope and depth of our work, we involved
senior team members to challenge the
Group’s determination that no such
indicators existed.
In assessing the conditions allowing
capitalisation of relevant expenditure, we
focused on:
the determination of the areas of interest;
documentation available regarding rights to
tenure, via licensing, and compliance with
relevant conditions, to maintain current
rights to an area of interest and the Group’s
intention and capacity to continue the
relevant E&E activities; and
the Group’s determination of whether the
E&E are expected to be recouped through
successful development and exploitation of
the area of interest, or alternatively, by its
sale.
In assessing the presence of impairment
indicators, we focused on those that may draw
Our audit procedures included:
Evaluating the Group’s accounting policy to
recognise exploration and evaluation assets using
the criteria in the accounting standard;
We assessed the Group’s determination of its
areas of interest for consistency with the
definition in the accounting standard. This
involved analysing the licenses in which the
Group holds an interest and the exploration
programs planned for those for consistency with
documentation such as license related technical
conditions, joint venture agreements, results of
the external expert engaged by the Group, and
planned work programs;
For each area of interest, we assessed the
Group’s current rights to tenure by corroborating
the ownership of the relevant license to
government registries and evaluating agreements
in place with other parties. We also tested for
compliance with conditions, such as minimum
expenditure requirements, on a sample of
licenses;
We tested the Group’s additions to E&E for the
year by evaluating a statistical sample of recorded
expenditure for consistency to underlying records,
the capitalisation requirements of the Group’s
accounting policy and the requirements of the
accounting standard;
We evaluated Group documents, such as minutes
of Board meetings, for consistency with their
stated intentions for continuing E&E in certain
areas. We corroborated this through interviews
with key operational and finance personnel;
We analysed the Group’s determination of
recoupment through successful development and
exploitation of the area or by its sale by evaluating
the Group’s documentation of planned
future/continuing activities including work

into question the commercial continuation of
E&E activities for areas of interest where
significant capitalised E&E exists. In addition to
the assessments above, and given the financial
position of the Group and restrictive events
imposed we paid particular attention to:
documentation available regarding rights to
tenure, via licensing, and compliance with
relevant conditions, to maintain current
rights to an area of interest and the Group’s
intention and capacity to continue the
relevant E&E activities;
The ability of the Group to fund the
continuation of activities;
The impact of the restrictive event imposed
on the Group to the implications to carrying
forward capitalised E&E; and
Results from latest activities regarding the
existence or otherwise of economically
recoverable reserves.
These assessments can be inherently difficult,
particularly in uncertain or depressed market
conditions such as those currently being
experienced in Australian oil and gas exploration.
programs and project and corporate budgets for a
sample of areas;
We obtained project and corporate budgets
identifying areas with existing funding and those
requiring alternate funding sources. We compared
this for consistency with areas with E&E, for
evidence of the ability to fund continued activities.
We identified those areas relying on alternate
funding sources and evaluated the capacity of the
Group to secure such funding;
We assessed the impact of the unconventional
drilling moratoriums to the Group’s planned
continued exploration and evaluation activities.
We read correspondence from the Government of
Western Australia which imposed the moratorium
to understand the scenario and status, and
compared this to the Group’s proposed level and
timing of recommencement activity to that prior
to the moratorium. We used this knowledge to
assess the Group’s decision to continue to carry
E&E on these areas, and the consistency of the
decision for commercial continuation of activities;
and
We compared the results regarding the existence
of reserves for consistency to the treatment of
E&E and the requirements of the accounting
standard.
