Standards  requires  management  to  make  judgments,  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect  the  application  of policies  and reported  amounts  of  assets  and liabilities,  income 
and  expenses.    These  estimates  and  associated  assumptions  are  based  on  historical 
experience  and  various  factors  that  are  believed  to  be  reasonable  under  the 
circumstances.  The  results  of  which  forms  the  basis  of  making  the  judgments  about 
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 
Actual  results  may  differ  from  these  estimates.  These  accounting  policies  have  been 
consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated entity. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions 
to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if 
the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if 
the revision affects both current and future periods. 

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by all entities in the consolidated 
entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 
30 JUNE 2007 

(c) Basis of consolidation 
Subsidiaries are  entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company 
has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an 
entity  so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from  its  activities.  In  assessing  control,  potential  voting 
rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial 
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the 
date  that  control  commences  until  the  date  that  control  ceases.  Investments  in 
subsidiaries  are  carried  at  their  cost  of  acquisition  in  the  Company’s  financial 
statements. 

Minority  interests  in  the  results  and  equity  of  subsidiaries  are  shown  separately  in  the 
consolidated income statement and balance sheet respectively. 

(d) Comparatives 
Rex  Minerals  Limited  was  incorporated  on  18  April  2007.  Accordingly  there  are  no 
comparative results for prior periods. 

(e) Income Tax 
Income  tax  expenses  comprises  current  and  deferred  tax.  Income  tax  expense  is 
recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly 
in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. 

Current  tax  is  the  expected  tax  payable  on  the  taxable  income  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. 

Deferred  tax  is  recognised  using  the  balance  sheet  method,  providing  for  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 
the  following  temporary  differences:  the  initial  recognition  of  goodwill,  the  initial 
recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and 
that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments 
in  subsidiaries  and  jointly  controlled  entities  to  the  extent  that  they  probably  will  not 
reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future.  Deferred  tax  Is  measured  at  the  tax  rates  that  are 
expected  to  be  applied  to  the  temporary  differences  when  they  reverse,  based  on  the 
laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.     

A  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  the  future  taxable 
profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax 
assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that is no longer 
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 

Additional  income  taxes  that  arise  from  the  distribution  of  dividends  are  recognised  at 
the same time as the liability to pay the relates dividend is recognised.

(f) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure 
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect 
of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to 
an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which: 

(i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and 
exploitation or from sale of the area; or 
(ii)  exploration  and  evaluation  activities  in  the  area  have  not,  at  balance  date, 
resulted in booking economically recoverable reserves, and active operations in, 
or relating to, this area are continuing.  

Accumulated costs in respect of areas of interest which are abandoned are written off in 
full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.  

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.  

Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the 
development phase until production commences. 

(g) Payables 
Liabilities  are  recognised  for  amounts  to  be  paid  in  the  future  for  goods  and  services 
received, whether or not billed to the Company. 

(h) Cash 
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes on hand and other funds 
held at call net of bank overdrafts. 

(i) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
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 
(“ATO”). In these circumstances the 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 
statement  of  financial  position  are  shown  inclusive  of  GST.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the 
statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flow on 
a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO 
are classified as operating cash flows. 

(j) Earnings Per Share 
Basic  earnings  per  share  are  calculated  as  net  earnings  attributable  to  members, 
adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share 
dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for an 
bonus element.

(k) Issued Capital 
Issued and paid  up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received 
by  the  Company.  Any  transaction  costs  arising  on  the  issue  of  ordinary  shares  are 
recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

(b) Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities 
Financial assets and liabilities have been recognised at the balance date at their net fair 
values.  The  following  methods  and  assumptions  are  used  to  determine  the  net  fair 
values of financial assets and liabilities: 

Recognised Financial Instruments 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents:  The  carrying  amount  approximates  fair  value  because  of 
their short-term maturity. 
Receivables and payables: The carrying amount approximates fair value. 

(c) Credit Risk Exposures 
The  Company’s  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  each  balance  date  in  relation  to 
each class of recognized financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provision for 
doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the balance sheet. 

(d) Concentration of Credit Risk 
The Company is not materially exposed to any individual overseas country or individual 
customer.
