REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

MARYMIA PROJECT  

Australian Mines Limited (“Australian Mines”) Earning Up to 80% 
(E52/2394 and E52/2395) 

During  the  reporting  period,  Australian  Mines  completed  reverse  circulation  (“RC”)  and 
diamond  core  drilling  over  the  Dixon  gold  prospect  to  follow  up  promising  results  from  a 
single  drillhole  (MMRC016)  completed  in  2015.    Assay  results  for  gold  from  MMRC016 
confirmed an intercept of 10 metres @ 8.79 g/t gold from 130 metres downhole. 

Follow-up drilling comprised eleven RC drill holes (for a total of 2,335 metres) and a single 
285  metre  diamond  core  hole.    Drilling  data  confirmed  that  the  source  of  a  chargeability 
anomaly outlined by an induced polarisation (“IP”) survey over the Dixon prospect area is a 
sulphidic  (pyrite-pyrrhotite-arsenopyrite)  body  associated  with  the  gold  mineralisation 
intersected in MMRC016. 

Significant gold intercepts returned from the drilling programme include: 

-

- 

1 metre @ 8.99 g/t gold from 65 metres down hole in DXRC004; 

11 metres @ 1.10 g/t from 136.0 metres down hole in DXRC003, including 1 metre @ 
5.76 g/t gold from 139 metres down hole; and 

1.1 metres @ 5.07 g/t gold from 186.9 metres down hole in DXDD001. 

2 metres @ 1.02 g/t Au from 55 metres down hole in DXRC006 

1 metre @ 1.49 g/t Au from 144 metres down hole in DXRC008  

2 metres @ 1.15 g/t Au from 93 metres down hole in DXRC009 

1 metre @ 1.16 g/t Au from 69 metres down hole in DXRC010 

1 metre @ 1.25 g/t Au from 135 metres down hole in DXRC010 

3 metres @ 1.14 g/t Au from 140 metres down hole in DXRC011 and; 

4 metres @ 1.31 g/t Au from 170 metres down hole in DXRC011 

Australian  Mines  was  also  successful  with  its  application  for  the  State  Government 
sponsored Co-funded Drilling Program.  $105,000 will be available for diamond core drilling 
at Dixon in the second half of 2016. This equates to up to 1,200 metres of core drilling and 
will  be  used  to  test  for  depth  extensions  to  significant  mineralisation  already  identified  at 
Dixon. 

Details of the follow-up drilling will be announced to ASX closer to the commencement date 
but it is anticipated that the programme will comprise up to 2,500 metres of RC drilling and 
500 metres of diamond core.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (con’t) 

CHARTERIS CREEK PROJECT 

In  January  2016  FMG  Resources  Pty  Ltd  (“Fortescue”),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of 
Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, withdrew from the Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement entered 
into  between  Riedel’s  wholly-owned  subsidiary  Audax  Minerals  Pty  Ltd  (‘Audax’)  and 
Fortescue  over  Exploration  Licence  45/2763.    Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Agreement, 
Fortescue has not earned an interest in E45/2763 and the exploration licence will remain 100% 
owned by Audax. 

Riedel  has  since  been  successful  with  its  State  Government  2016-2017  co-funded  drilling 
application. A grant of $75,000 from the State Government may be used to drill geophysical 
anomalies  at  Charteris  Creek.  The  grant  is  awarded  for  innovative  drilling  programs  in 
previously  untested  locations  and  is  designed  to  test  for  buried  copper-gold  porphyry 
mineralisation. 

The proposed drilling will test two large magnetic anomalies for porphyry Cu-Mo (+/- Au) 
mineralisation hidden beneath the cover of the younger Fortescue Group. These magnetic 
peaks are within a circular feature approximately 1.5km in diameter (see Figure 1).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (con’t) 

Mineralisation  has  previously  been  defined  at  the  Lightning  Ridge  Prospect  within  the 
tenement  as  well  as  at  other  prospects  to  the  south  of  the  tenement  at  Gobbos.  At  Gobbos 
surface samples up to 41% Cu have been recorded as well as 13 metres @ 4.28% Cu from a 
costean.  Historic  shallow  drilling  has  also  intersected  numerous  significant  intersections  of 
+1%  Cu.  The  mineralisation  is  interpreted  as  being  part  of  the  same  large  intrusive  body  of 
rocks that extend into the drill target area under the Fortescue Group cover.  

Reidel  is  planning  to  drill  1  or  2  diamond  drill  holes  for  a  total  of  800  metres  to  test  the 
magnetic  peaks  closest  to  surface.  The  magnetic  target  was  modelled  using  unconstrained 
3D  inversion  modelling  and  polygonal  forward  modelling.  The  profile  data  along  5  airborne 
magnetic survey flight lines were modelled during this polygonal forward modelling exercise. 
Three alternative forward models were created using different magnetic susceptibility values 
of  0.01SI,  0.02SI  and  0.03SI.  Figure  2  shows  the  planned  drill  hole  traces  and  the  3D 
Inversion and Polygonal Magnetic Model Targets (looking West).

$950,000.

Remuneration Philosophy 
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of the directors and executives.  
The philosophy of the Company in determining remuneration levels is to: 
-  set competitive remuneration packages to attract and retain high calibre employees; 

- 

link executive rewards to shareholder value creation; and 

-  establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration 

Remuneration Committee 
The  Remuneration  Committee,  the  role  and  duties  of  which  are  undertaken  by  the  Board, 
establishes  human  resources  and  compensation  policies  and  practices  for  the  Directors 
(executive and non-executive) and senior executives, including retirement termination policies 
incentive  schemes,  Company 
and  practices,  Company  share  schemes  and  other 
superannuation arrangements and remuneration arrangements. 

Remuneration Policy 
The remuneration  policy  of  the  Company  has  been  designed to align  director  and  executive 
objectives  with  shareholder  and  business  objectives  by  providing  a  fixed  remuneration 
component  which  is  assessed  on  an  annual  basis  in  line  with  market  rates  and  offering 
specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial 
results.  The  Board  of  the  Company  believes  the  remuneration  policy  to  be  appropriate  and 
effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to run and manage 
the Group.  

The  Board’s  policy  for  determining  the  nature  and  amount  of  remuneration  for  Board 
members and senior executives of the Group is as follows:

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (con’t) 

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (con’t) 

The  remuneration  policy,  setting  the  terms  and  conditions  for  the  executive  directors  and 
other senior executives (if any), was developed by the Board. All executives are to receive a 
base  salary  (which  is  based  on  factors  such  as  length  of  service  and  experience)  and 
superannuation.  The  Board  reviews  executive  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the 
Group’s  performance,  executive  performance  and  comparable  information  from  industry 
sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 

The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. 
The  policy  is  to  attract  the  highest  calibre  of  executives  and  reward  them  for  performance 
that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. 

Directors  and  executives  are  also  entitled  to  participate  in  the  Employee  Incentive  Option 
Scheme  and  Performance  Rights  Plan.    The  executive  directors  and  executives  receive  a 
superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9.5% for the 
year  ended  30  June  2016,  and  do  not  receive  any  other  retirement  benefits.    All 
remuneration  paid  to  directors  and  executives  is  valued  at  the  cost  to  the  Company  and 
expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes or Binomial Option Pricing models. 

The  Board  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable 
companies  for  time,  commitment  and  responsibilities.  The  Board  determines  payments  to 
the  non-executive  directors  and  reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market 
practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent  external  advice  is  sought  when  required. 
The  maximum  aggregate fees  that  can  be  paid  to  non-executive  directors  is  $250,000  per 
annum as detailed in the Company’s prospectus dated 12 November 2010. Amendments to 
this amount are subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for 
non-executive directors will not be linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align 
directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in 
the Company and are able to participate in the Employee Incentive Option Scheme. 

The  objective  of  the  Company’s  executive  reward  framework  is  set  to  attract  and  retain  the 
most qualified and experienced directors and senior executives.  

The  Board  ensures  that executive reward  satisfies  the following  key  criteria for good reward 
governance practices: 

  Competitiveness 
  Acceptability to shareholders 
  Performance linkage 
  Capital management 

Directors’ fees 

A  director  may  be  paid  fees  or  other  amounts  as  the  directors  determine  where  a  director 
performs  special  duties  or  otherwise  performs  services  outside  the  scope  of  the  ordinary 
duties of a director. A director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as 
a result of their directorship or any special duties. 

Non-executive Directors are not currently paid any fee.

Bonuses 

No bonuses were given to key management personnel during the 2015 and 2016 years. 

Performance based remuneration 

The  Company  currently  offers  eligible  Directors  and  Key  Executives  participation  in  the 
Company  Performance Rights  Plan  and/or  Incentive  Option  Scheme.  This  is  in  addition  to 
cash remuneration. 

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director’s and executive’s 
remuneration 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  goal  congruence  between 
shareholders and directors and executives. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of 
options  or  Performance  Rights  to  eligible  directors  and  executives  to  encourage  the 
alignment  of  personal  and  shareholder  interests.  The  Company  believes  the  policy  will  be 
effective in increasing shareholder wealth. For details of directors and executives interests in 
options and performance rights at year end, refer below for details. 

In  order  to  preserve  cash  in  the  Company,  the  non-executive  Directors  have  not  received 
Directors fees since 1 May 2013 and the executive Directors receive Directors’ fees only in 
the  form  of  cash.    All  directors  are  entitled  to  participate  in  the  Performance  Rights  Plan 
and/or Incentive Option Scheme.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 
Riedel  Resources  Limited  (the  "Company")  is  a  listed  public  company  limited  by  shares, 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

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 the "Group" and individually as 
"Group entities"). 

The Group primarily is involved in mining and exploration activity. 

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 

The  Group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new,  revised  or  amending  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory 
for the current reporting period. 

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory 
have not been early adopted. 

The  adoption  of  these  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  did  not  have  any  significant 
impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. 

Basis of Preparation 
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented. 

Statement of Compliance 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board 
('AASB')  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as  appropriate  for  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These 
financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  were  authorised  for  issue  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  28 
September 2016. The Directors have the power to amend and revise the financial statements.  

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for, 
where  applicable,  the  revaluation  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets,  financial  assets  and 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant 
and equipment and derivative financial instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting 
estimates.  It  also  requires  management  to  exercise  its  judgement  in  the  process  of  applying  the 
Group's  accounting  policies.  The  areas involving  a  higher  degree of  judgement  or  complexity,  or 
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in 
note 18.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Parent entity information 
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the 
Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 26. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of 
Riedel Resources Limited ('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all 
subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  Riedel  Resources  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  together  are 
referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity 
when the Group 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  to  direct  the  activities  of  the  entity. 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They 
are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the 
Group  are  eliminated.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  the  transaction  provides 
evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been 
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

The  acquisition  of  subsidiaries  is  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting.  A 
change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, 
where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the 
non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Where  the  Group  loses  control  over  a  subsidiary,  it  derecognises  the  assets  including  goodwill, 
liabilities  and  non-controlling  interest  in  the  subsidiary  together  with  any  cumulative  translation 
differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received 
and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating  segments  are  presented  using  the  “management  approach”,  where  the  information 
presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the directors. The directors are 
responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 

Foreign currency translation 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is  Riedel Resources Limited's 
functional and presentation currency. 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates 
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the 
settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the  translation  at  financial  year-end  exchange  rates  of 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Foreign operations 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the 
exchange  rates  at  the  reporting  date.  The  revenues  and  expenses  of  foreign  operations  are 
translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at 
the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised 
in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The  foreign  currency  reserve  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  the  foreign  operation  or  net 
investment is disposed of. 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions  
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates 
and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  Management 
continually  evaluates  its  judgements  and  estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent 
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions 
on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of  future  events, 
management  believes  to  be  reasonable  under  the  circumstances.  The  resulting  accounting 
judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates 
and  assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying 
amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  (refer  to  the  respective  notes)  within  the  next  financial  year  are 
discussed below. 

Share Based Payment Transactions 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.  The fair value is determined 
by  an  independent  external  valuation  using  Black-Scholes  and  Binomial  Option  Pricing  models, 
using the assumptions detailed in Note 12. 

Exploration and Evaluation Costs 
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area 
of  interest.    These  costs  are  carried  forward  in  respect  of  an  area  that  has  not  at  reporting  date 
reached  a  stage  which  permits  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of 
economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or relating to, the area 
of interest are continuing. 

Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets and Investments in and Loans to Subsidiaries 
The  ultimate  recoupment  of  the  value  of  exploration  and  evaluation  assets,  the  Company’s 
investment in subsidiaries, and loans to subsidiaries is dependent on the successful development 
and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale, of the exploration and evaluation assets. 

Impairment  tests  are  carried  out  on  a  regular  basis  to  identify  whether  the  asset  carrying  values 
exceed their  recoverable  amounts.   There is  significant  estimation  and judgement  in determining 
the inputs and assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts. 

The key areas of judgement and estimation include: 

  Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates; 
  Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements; 
  Fundamental economic factors that have an impact on the operations and carrying values 

of assets and liabilities.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Income tax expenses 

Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on 
the  statement  of  financial  position.    Deferred  tax  assets,  including  those  arising  from  temporary 
differences,  are  recognised  only  when  it  is  considered  more  likely  than  not  that  they  will  be 
recovered, which is dependent on the generation of future assessable income of a nature and of 
an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised. 

Going Concern 
The  accounts  have been  prepared on  the going  concern  basis,  which contemplates  continuity  of 
normal  business  activities  and  the  realisation  of  assets  and  settlement  of  liabilities  in  the  normal 
course  of  business.  The  Group  incurred  a  profit  of  $704,101  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2016 
(2015: $794,639 loss).  

The ability of the Company and the Group to continue to pay its debts as and when they fall due is 
dependent  upon  the  Company  successfully  raising  additional  share  capital  and  ultimately 
developing one of its mineral properties. 

The  Directors  believe  it  is  appropriate  to  prepare  these  accounts  on  a  going  concern  basis 
because: 

 

 

the Directors have an appropriate plan to raise additional funds as and when it is required.  
In light of the Group’s current exploration and evaluation projects, the Directors believe that 
the additional capital required can be raised in the market; and 
the  Directors  have  an  appropriate  plan  to  contain  certain  operating  and  exploration 
expenditure if appropriate funding is unavailable. 

The  accounts  have  been  prepared  on  the  basis  that  the  Company  and  the  Group  can  meet  its 
commitments as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal business activities, and 
the realisation of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  

Income Tax 
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the loss for the year adjusted for any non-
assessable or  disallowed items.  It  is  calculated  using  the  tax  rates that have been  enacted  or  are 
substantially enacted by the reporting date. 

Deferred tax  is  accounted  for  using  the  liability  method in respect  of  temporary  differences arising 
between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  financial 
statements.  No  deferred  income  tax  will  be  recognised  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or 
liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or 
loss. 

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised  or  liability  is  settled.  Deferred  tax  is  credited  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive  income  except  where  it  relates  to  items  that  may  be  credited  directly  to  equity,  in 
which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will 
be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in  the future is based on the 
assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that 
the  consolidated  entity  will  derive  sufficient  future  assessable  income  to  enable  the  benefit  to  be 
realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. 

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure 
Exploration and evaluation 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: 

  such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation 

or from sale of the area; or 

  exploration and evaluation activities in the area have not, at reporting date, reached a stage 
which  permit  a  reasonable  assessment  of  the  existence  or  otherwise  of  economically 
recoverable reserves, and active operations in, or relating to, the area are continuing. 

Accumulated  costs  in  respect  of  areas  of  interest  which  are  abandoned  are  written  off  in  full 
against loss 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. 

The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and development assets is dependent 
on the successful development and commercial exploitation or alternatively sale of the respective 
areas of interest.  

Financial Instruments 
The  Company  classifies  its  investments  in  the  following  categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value 
through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and  receivables,  and  available-for-sale  financial  assets.    The 
classification  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the  investments  were  acquired.    Management 
determines  the  classification  of  its  investments  at  initial  recognition  and  re-evaluates  this 
designation at each reporting date. 

Recognition 
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, 
when  the  related  contractual  rights  or  obligations  exist.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition  these 
instruments are measured as set out below. 

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 
Financial  assets  are  classified  at  ‘fair  value  through  profit  or  loss’  when  they  are  either  held  for 
trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when 
they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation 
where a Group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis 
in  accordance  with  a  documented  risk  management  or  investment  strategy.  Such  assets  are 
subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

(ii)  Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that 
are  not  quoted  in  an  active  market.    They  arise  when  the  Company  provides  money,  goods  or 
services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable.  They are included in current 
assets,  except  for  those  with  maturities greater  than  12  months  after  the  reporting  date  which  are 
classified as non-current assets.  Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement 
of financial position. 

(iii)  Available-for-sale financial assets 
Available-for-sale financial  assets  are  non-derivative financial  assets  that  are  either  not  suitable to 
be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as 
such  by  management.  They  comprise  investments  in  the  equity  of  other  entities  where  there  is 
neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. 

Financial liabilities 
Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  are  recognised  at  amortised  cost,  comprising  original  debt  less 
principal payments and amortisation. 

Fair value measurement 
When  an  asset  or  liability,  financial  or  non-financial,  is  measured  at  fair  value  for  recognition  or 
disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or 
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement 
date;  and  assumes  that  the  transaction  will  take  place  either:  in  the  principle  market;  or  in  the 
absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the 
asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non-financial assets, the fair 
value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate 
in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are  available  to  measure  fair  value,  are  used, 
maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. 

Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified,  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value 
hierarchy  that  reflects  the  significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements. 
Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based 
on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

For  recurring  and  non-recurring  fair  value  measurements,  external  valuers  may  be  used  when 
internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External 
valuers  are  selected  based  on  market  knowledge  and  reputation.  Where  there  is  a  significant 
change  in fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  from  one  period  to  another,  an  analysis  is  undertaken, 
which  includes  a  verification  of  the  major  inputs  applied  in  the  latest  valuation  and  a  comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-
current classification. 

An  asset  is  current  when:  it  is  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in 
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised 
within  twelve  months  after  the  reporting  period;  or  the  asset  is  cash  or  cash  equivalent  unless 
restricted  from  being  exchanged  or  used  to  settle  a  liability  for  at  least  twelve  months  after  the 
reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is current when: it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily 
for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or 
there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after 
the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.   

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term 
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, that are readily convertible 
to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Revenue 
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the 
revenue can be reliably measured. 

Interest  revenue  is  recognised  on  a  proportional  basis  taking  into  account  the  interest  rates 
applicable to the financial assets. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax 
(GST). 

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. 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. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  in  the  statement  of  cash  flow  on  a  gross  basis,  except  for  the  GST 
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

Impairment 
(i)  Financial Assets 
A  financial  asset  is  assessed  at  each  reporting  date to  determine  whether  there  is  any  objective 
evidence  that  it  is  impaired.    A  financial  asset  is  considered  to  be  impaired  if  objective  evidence 
indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of 
that asset.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

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  effective  interest  rate.    An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  an  available-for-sale 
financial  asset  is  calculated  by  reference to its fair  value.    Individually  significant financial  assets 
are  tested  for  impairment  on  an  individual  basis.    The  remaining  financial  assets  are  assessed 
collectively  in  Groups  that  share  similar  credit  risk  characteristics.    All  impairment  losses  are 
recognised  either  in  the  income  statement  or  revaluation  reserves  in  the  period  in  which  the 
impairment arises. 

(ii)  Exploration and Evaluation Assets 
Exploration  and  evaluation  assets  are  assessed  for  impairment  when  facts  and  circumstances 
suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount at the reporting 
date. 

Exploration  and  evaluation  assets  are  tested  for  impairment  in  respect  of  cash  generating  units, 
which are no larger than the area of interest to which the assets relate. 

(iii)  Non-Financial Assets Other Than Exploration and Evaluation Assets 
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to 
determine  whether  there  is  any  indication  of  impairment.    If  any  such  indication  exists  then  the 
asset’s  recoverable amount  is  estimated.    For goodwill  and  intangible assets  that  have indefinite 
lives  or  that  are not  yet  available for  use, the  recoverable amount  is  estimated  at  each reporting 
date. 

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and 
its  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell.    In  assessing  value  in  use,  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  are 
discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  that  reflects  current  market 
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  if  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  or  its  cash-generating  unit 
exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.    Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  the  income  statement.  
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the 
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, then to reduce the carrying amount of the 
other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis. 

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.  In respect of other assets, impairment 
losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the 
loss has decreased or no longer exits.  An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change 
in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.  An impairment loss is reversed only 
to  the  extent  that  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  does  not  exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would 
have  been  determined,  net  of  depreciation  or  amortisation,  if  no  impairment  loss  has  been 
recognised. 

Joint operations 
A  joint  operation  is  a  joint  arrangement  whereby  the  parties  that  have  joint  control  of  the 
arrangement  have  rights  to  the  assets,  and  obligations  for  the  liabilities,  relating  to  the 
arrangement.  The  consolidated  entity  has  recognised  its  share  of  jointly  held  assets,  liabilities, 
revenues  and  expenses  of  joint  operations.  These  have  been  incorporated  in  the  financial 
statements under the appropriate classifications.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Investments 
All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and 
including acquisition charges associated with the investment. 

After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as held for trading and available-for-sale, 
are measured at fair value.  Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the 
profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

Gains  or  losses  on  available-for-sale  investments  are  recognised  as  a  separate  component  of 
equity  until  the  investment  is  sold,  collected  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  or  until  the  investment  is  
determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity 
is included in the profit or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by 
reference  to  Stock  Exchange quoted  market  bid  prices  at  the  close  of  business  on  the  reporting 
date. 

Trade and other payables 
Liabilities  for  trade  creditors  and  other  amounts  are  carried  at  cost  which  is  the  fair  value  of 
consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the 
Group. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. 
The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.  

Share-based payment transactions 
The Group provides benefits to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share-
based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights 
over shares (“equity-settled transaction”). 

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair 
value  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted.    The  fair  value  is  determined  by  an  independent 
external  valuation  using  a  Black-Scholes  and  Binomial  Option  Pricing  models  that  takes  into 
account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant 
date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk 
free  interest  rate  for  the  term  of  the  option,  together  with  non-vesting  conditions  that  do  not 
determine whether the Group receives services that entitle the employees to receive payment. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  is  recognised,  together  with  a  corresponding  increase  in 
equity,  over  the  period  in  which  the  performance  conditions  are  fulfilled,  ending  on  the  date  on 
which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”). 

The  cumulative  expense  recognised  for  equity-settled  transactions  at  each  reporting  date  until 
vesting  date  reflects  (i) the  extent  to  which  the  vesting period  has  expired  and  (ii) the  number  of 
awards  that,  in the  opinion  of  the  Directors  of  the  Company,  will  ultimately  vest.    This  opinion  is 
formed based on the best available information at reporting date.  No adjustment is made for the 
likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included 
in the determination of fair value at grant date. 

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting 
is conditional upon a market condition.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised 
as if the terms had not been modified.  In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in 
the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification. 

Where  an  equity-settled  award  is  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  had  vested  on  the  date  of 
cancellation,  and  any  expense  not  yet  recognised  for  the  award  is  recognised  immediately.  
However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement 
award  on  the  date  that  it  is  granted,  the  cancelled  and  new  award  are  treated  as  if  they  were  a 
modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised 
cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are 
generally due for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be 
uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of 
trade  receivables  is  raised  when  there  is  objective  evidence  that  the  Group  will  not  be  able  to 
collect  all  amounts  due  according  to  the  original  terms  of  the  receivables.  Significant  financial 
difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation 
and  default  or  delinquency  in  payments  (more  than  60  days  overdue)  are  considered  indicators 
that  the  trade  receivable  may  be  impaired.  The  amount  of  the  impairment  allowance  is  the 
difference  between  the  asset's  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash 
flows,  discounted  at  the  original  effective  interest  rate.  Cash  flows  relating  to  short-term 
receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. 

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as 
a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of 
new  shares  or  options,  or  for  the  acquisition  of  a  business,  are  included  in  the  cost  of  the 
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (con’t) 

Plant and equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment. 
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, 
plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Office equipment 
Exploration equipment 

2 years 
5 years 

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if 
appropriate, at each reporting date. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future 
economic  benefit  to  the  Group.  Gains  and  losses  between  the  carrying  amount  and  the  disposal 
proceeds are taken to profit or loss.  

Employee benefits  
Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service 
leave  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months  of  the  reporting  date  are  recognised  in  current 
liabilities  in  respect  of  employees'  services  up  to  the  reporting  date  and  are  measured  at  the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of 
the reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities, provided there is an unconditional right to 
defer  settlement  of  the  liability.  The  liability  is  measured  as  the  present  value  of  expected  future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using 
the  projected  unit  credit  method.  Consideration  is  given  to  expect  future  wage  and  salary  levels, 
experience  of  employee  departures  and  periods  of  service.  Expected  future  payments  are 
discounted  using  market  yields  at  the  reporting  date  on  national  corporate  bonds  with  terms  to 
maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they 
are incurred. 

Earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/loss attributable to the owners of Riedel 
Resources  Limited,  excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the 
weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for 
bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share 
to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with 
dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares  and  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares  assumed  to  have 
been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The corporate tax rate in Australia was changed from 30% to 28.5% with effect from 1 July 2015. 
This revised rate has not impacted the current tax asset for the current year but will do so in future 
periods. However, the impact of the change in tax rate has been taken into account in the 
measurement of deferred taxes at the end of the reporting period. The effect of this change in tax 
rate on deferred taxes has been disclosed in the reconciliation of deferred taxes below. 

The following deferred tax balances have not

On 27 June 2013 the Company issued a Secured Convertible Note to Oracle Securities Pty Ltd (or 
its nominees). The Convertible Note (and any accrued interest) can be converted in full or any part 
thereof into Shares in the Company at the lender’s sole discretion at any time after 30 June 2015.  

Shares issued in lieu of accrued interest will be issued at the lower of $0.036 or 90% of the 10 day 
VWAP preceding the due date for payment of that accrued interest. 

The  amended  agreement  between  the  parties  stated  that  shares  issued  on  conversion  are 
currently issued at the lower of  80% of the 10 day VWAP preceding the date of execution of  the 
Convertible  Note  Deeds  or  80%  of  the  10  day  VWAP  preceding  the  date  of  the  Conversion 
Notice. Shareholders  voted  at  the  General  Meeting  held  on  7  August  2014  to  approve  the 
amendments  to  the  terms  of  the  Convertible  Notes.  The  redemption  date  was  30  June  2015, 
however  on  31  July  2015  the  Company  agreed  with  the  Convertible  Noteholders  to  extend  the 
redemption  date  of  the  Convertible  Note  Deeds  from  30  June  2015  to  31  August  2015. On  28 
August 2015 the Company agreed with the Convertible Noteholders to extend the redemption date 
of the Convertible Note Deeds from 31 August 2015 to 30 September 2015.  

On 30 October 2015 an agreement has been reached with the Convertible Note holders to convert 
all  of  the  outstanding  Convertible  Notes,  with  a  face  value  of  $400,000,  into  ordinary  fully  paid 
shares of Riedel. A total of 61,653,937 fully paid shares of Riedel were issued to the Convertible 
Note holders at a price of $0.0065 per share to redeem the Convertible Notes.

NOTE 11: ISSUED CAPITAL (con’t) 

(c)  Capital management 
Management controls the capital of the Group by monitoring performance against budget to provide 
the  shareholders  with  adequate  returns  and  ensure  that  the  Group  can  fund  its  operations  and 
continue as a going concern. 

The  Group’s  liabilities  and  capital  includes  ordinary  share  capital,  options  and  financial  liabilities, 
supported by financial assets. 

The Company issued 400,000 Convertible Notes. The Convertible Note (and any accrued interest) 
can  be  converted  in  full  or  any  part  thereof  into  Shares  in  the  Company  at  the  lender’s  sole 
discretion  at  any  time  after  30  September  2015.  On  30  October  2015  an  agreement  has  been 
reached with the Convertible Note holders to convert all of the outstanding Convertible Notes, with 
a face value of $400,000, into ordinary fully paid shares of Riedel. A total of 61,653,937 fully paid 
shares  of  Riedel  were  issued  to  the  Convertible  Note  holders  at  a  price  of  $0.0065  per  share to 
redeem the Convertible Notes.  

Management effectively  manages the  Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and 
adjusting  its  capital  structure  in  response  to  changes  in  these  risks  and  in  the  market.  These 
responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. 

There have been no changes in the strategy by management to control the capital of the Group 
since the prior year.

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

The  Group’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  cash  and  short  term  deposits.    The  main 
purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the 
Group.    The  Group  also  has  other  financial  instruments  such  as  trade  debtors,  creditors  and 
convertible notes which arise directly from its operations.  For the period under review, it has been 
the Group’s policy not to trade in financial instruments 

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange 
risk  and credit risk.   The  board  reviews  and  agrees  policies for managing each of  these risks  and 
they are summarised below: 

(a) 

Interest Rate Risk 
The  Group  is  exposed  to  movements  in  market  interest  rates  on  short  term  deposits.  
The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 180 days to ensure a balance 
is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Group 
does not have any other short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (con’t) 

(b)  Foreign exchange risk 

The  Group  undertakes  certain  transactions  in  foreign  currencies,  hence  exposure  to 
exchange  rate  fluctuations  arise.    Payments  made  by  the  Group  are  made  at  the 
prevailing  exchange  rate  at  the  time  of  payment.    Loans  advanced  from  the  ultimate 
holding  Company  to subsidiary  companies are  denominated  in Australian  dollars.    The 
Group does not utilise derivative instruments to hedge the exchange rate risk. 

(c)  Credit Risk 

Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations 
resulting in financial loss to the Group.  The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing 
with  credit  worthy  counterparties  and  obtaining  sufficient  collateral  or  other  security 
where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. 

The  Group  does  not  have  any  significant  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  counterparty  or  any 
Group  of  counterparties  having  similar  characteristics.    The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets 
recorded  in  the  financial  statements,  net  of  any  provisions  for  losses,  represents  the  Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk. 

(a)  Exposure to credit risk 

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.  The 
Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Other receivables

173,201 

(b)  Impairment losses 
None of the Group’s other receivables are past due hence no impairment were provided for. 

(c)  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  reserves  by  continuously  monitoring 
forecast and actual cash flows.  The Group does not have any external borrowings. 

The  Company  does  anticipate  a  need  to  raise  additional  capital  in  the  next  12  months  to  meet 
forecasted operational and exploration activities. 

The  contractual  maturities  of  financial  liabilities,  including  estimated  interest  payments  and 
excluding the impact of netting agreements are shown at (f) below.

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (con’t) 

(d)  Market risk 
Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  market  prices,  such  as  foreign  exchange  rates,  interest 
rates  and  equity  prices  will  affect  the  Group’s  income  or  the  value  of  its  holdings  of  financial 
instruments. 

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within 
acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. 

(e)  Currency risk 
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from exploration commitments 
in currencies in other than the Group measurement currency.  The Group operates internationally 
and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from currency exposures to the US Dollar and the 
Burkina  Faso  CFA.  The  Group  has  not  formalised  a  foreign  currency  risk  management  policy, 
however it monitors its foreign currency expenditure in light of exchange rate movements. 

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary 
liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:

Sensitivity analysis 
The Group’s main foreign currency risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held in foreign 
currency bank accounts and trade and other payable amounts denominated in currencies other 
than the functional currency.  At 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 the Group’s exposure to foreign 
currency risk is not considered material. 

Interest rate risk 

(f) 
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk (primarily on its cash and cash equivalents), which is 
the  risk  that  a  financial  instrument's  value  will  fluctuate  as  a  result  of  changes  in  the  market 
interest  rates  on  interest-bearing  financial  instruments.    The  Group  does  not  use  derivatives  to 
mitigate these exposures. 

The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that as far as possible it maintains excess cash and cash 
equivalents in short terms deposit at interest rates maturing over 30-180 day rolling periods.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The Company’s Board governs the business on behalf of shareholders as a whole with the prime 
objective of protecting and enhancing shareholder value.  The Board is committed to, and ensures 
that the:- 

(i)  executive management runs the Group in accordance a high level of ethics and integrity; 
(ii)  Board and management complies with all applicable laws and regulations; 
(iii)  Company continually reviews the governance framework and practices to ensure it fulfils its 

corporate governance obligations. 

Good corporate governance will evolve with the changing circumstances of a company and must 
be  tailored  to  meet  these  circumstances.    The  Board  endorses  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance 
Principles and Recommendations (‘ASX CGP’) however, as a junior exploration company, at this 
stage of the Company’s corporate development, implementation of the ASX CGP is not practical in 
every instance given the modest size and scale of the Company operations.   

During  the  year  ended 30 June 2016,  the  Company  considered  the  3rd  Edition  of  the  ASX  CGP. 
This  Statement  reports  on  the  revised  recommendations  and  outlines  the  main  corporate 
governance  practices  employed  by  the  Board.    Where  it  has  not  adopted  a  particular 
recommendation, an explanation is provided.   

This  Corporate  Governance  Statement  was  approved  by  the  Board  on  27  October  2016  and  is 
current  as  at  that  date  in  accordance  with  ASX  Listing  Rule  4.10.3.    The  Corporate Governance 
Statement will be published on the Company’s website at www.riedelresources.com.au rather than 
contain it in its Annual Report.

Role and Responsibility of Board and Management 

The relationship between the Board and senior management is critical to the Company’s long term 
success.    The  Board  is  responsible  for  the  performance  of  the  Company  in  both  the  short  and 
longer  term  and  seeks  to  balance  sometimes  competing  objectives  in  the  best  interests  of  the 
Group as a whole.  The key aims of the Board are to enhance the interests of shareholders and 
other key stakeholders and to ensure the Company is properly managed. 

Day to day management of the Company’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy 
and policy initiatives are formally delegated by the Board to the Chief Executive Officer and senior 
management. 

The responsibilities of the Board as a whole, the Chairman and individual Directors are set out in 
the Company’s Board Charter and are consistent with ASX CGP 1.  A copy of the Board Charter is 
available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website. 

Before  appointing  a  new  director,  the  Company  will  undertake  appropriate  checks  such  as  a 
character reference, police clearance certificate, bankruptcy check and any other check it deems 
appropriate.    Where  a  director  is  to  be  re-elected  or  a  candidate  is  put  up  for  election  to 
shareholders, all material information will be provided to shareholders for consideration.

policy is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website and terms are 
consistent with ASX CGP  

In accordance with this policy and ASX CGP, the Board has established the following measurable 
objectives in relation to gender diversity:- 

-  Recruiting from a diverse pool of candidates for all positions, including senior management 

- 

and the Board; 
Identifying  specific  factors  to  take  account  of  in  recruitment  and  selection  processes  to 
encourage gender diversity; 

-  Developing  programs  to  develop  a  broader  pool  of  skilled  and  experienced  senior 
including  workplace  development  programs, 

management  and  board  candidates, 
mentoring programs and targeted training and development; and  

-  Developing a culture which takes account of domestic responsibilities of employees. 

The Company currently has 1 employee and it not a female.  Further, there are no females on the 
Company’s  Board.    If  and  when  an  opportunity  to  recruit  at  Board  or  Company  level  arises,  the 
Company will consider such recruitment in accordance with its measurable objectives. 

Board performance 

The Board undertakes an annual self-assessment of its collective performance by way of a series 
of questionnaires.  The results are collated and discussed at a Board meeting and any action plans 
are documented together with specific performance goals which are agreed for the coming year.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont’) 

The  Chairman  undertakes  an  annual  assessment  of  the  performance  of  individual  directors  and 
meets privately  with each director to discuss this assessment.  A director is nominated to review 
the  individual  performance  of  the  Chairman  and  meets  privately  with  him  to  discuss  this 
assessment.  During the financial year, due to the size of the Board and the Company, no formal 
assessment  of  the  performance  was  conducted.  The  Board  intends  to  re-implement  the  formal 
assessment of the performance of the Board and senior executives when it is appropriate.  

Senior executive performance 

The Managing Director undertakes an annual review of the performance of his direct reports and 
provides a report to the Board for consideration. 

During  the  financial  year,  there  is  no  Managing  Director  in  the  Company,  in  addition,  due  to  the 
size  of  the  Company,  no  formal  assessment  of  the  performance  was  conducted.  The  Board 
intends to re-implement the formal assessment of the performance of the senior executives when it 
is appropriate. 

2.  Structure of the Board 

Board composition 

The Directors determine the composition and size of the Board in accordance with the Company’s 
Constitution.  The Constitution empowers the Board to set upper and lower limits with the number 
of Directors not permitted to be less than three.  There are currently four Directors appointed to the 
Board and their skills and experience, qualifications, term of office and independence status is set 
out in the Directors’ Report. 

Nominations committee 

Due  to  the  Company’s  size  and  scale,  the  Board  has  not  established  a  sub-committee  to 
undertake  the  responsibilities  normally  undertaken  by  a  Nomination  Committee.    The  Board  is 
charged to undertake the responsibilities normally undertaken by a Nomination Committee. 

Board succession/Board skills matrix 

The  Board  has  adopted  a  Board  skills  matrix  which  identifies  its  collective  mix  of  skills  and 
diversity.    The  Board’s  collective  skills  include  financial,  fundraising,  industry  knowledge, 
strategic  planning, 
leadership, 
technology/IT. 

lobbying/networking,  marketing/PR, 

risk  management, 

The Board skills matrix also identifies the demographic background of the Board as follows:- 

Male 
Female 
Age 

25-40 
41-55 
56-70 
Over 70

RIEDEL RESOURCES LIMITED 
ABN: 91 143 042 022 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Cont’) 

The  current  composition  of  the  Board  is  regarded  as  balanced  with  a  complementary  range  of 
skills,  independence,  diversity  and  experience  to  enable  it  to  discharge  its  duties  and 
responsibilities effectively.   

Should the Company be in the position where it believes that it or a new director does not have the 
requisite skills and experience, the Company will ensure that appropriate training or development 
is  provided  to  ensure  that  the  current  or  new  director  has  sufficient  knowledge,  skills  and 
understanding of their responsibilities. 

Director independence 

Based on the definition of independence published in ASX CGP 2, only one Director is deemed to 
be Independent.  The Board are not independent for the following reasons:- 

Jeff Moore – Executive Chairman 
Mark Skiffington – A substantial shareholder 
Andrew Childs – Director of a substantial shareholder 

Independent Decision Making 

Majority of the Board is not independent and the Company recognises that this is a departure from 
ASX CGP 2. All Directors bring to the Board the requisite skills which are complementary to those 
of  the  other  Directors  and  enable  them  to  adequately  discharge  their  responsibilities  and  bring 
independent judgments to bear on their decisions. 

The  Board  Charter  sets  out  the  criteria  the  Board  uses  to  determine  director  independence.  
Materiality  thresholds  used  to  assess  director  independence  have  not  as  yet  been  established 
however  the  Board  considers  a  director  to  be  independent  where  he  or  she  is  not  a  member  of 
management and is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or 
could  reasonably  be  perceived  to  materially  interfere  with,  the  director’s  ability  to  act  in  the  best 
interests  of  the  Company.    The  Board  believes  that  the  interests  of  the  shareholders  are  best 
served  by  the  current  composition  of  the  Board  which  is  regarded  as  balanced  with  a 
complementary range of skills, diversity and experience as detailed in the Directors’ Report. 

The following measures are in place to ensure the decision making process of the Board is subject 
to independent judgments:- 

-  A standard item on each Board Meeting agenda requires Directors to focus on and declare 

any conflicts of interest in addition to those already declared; 

-  Directors  are  permitted  to  seek  the  advice  of  independent  experts  at  the  Company’s 

expense, subject to the approval of the Chairman; 

-  All Directors must act all times in the interest of the Company; and 

Adoption  of  these  measures  ensure  that  the  interests  of  shareholders,  as  a  whole,  are  pursued 
and not jeopardised by a lack of independence. 

Inducting new directors 

New Non Executive Directors will be provided with a pack of information and documents relating to 
the Company including the Constitution, Group structure, financial statements, recent Board

3.   Ethical and Responsible Decision Making 

Code of Conduct 

A Code of Conduct Policy is in place to promote ethical and responsible practices and standards 
for directors, employees and consultants of the Company to discharge their responsibilities.  This 
Policy  reflects  the  directors’  and  key  officers’  intention  to  ensure  that  their  duties  and 
responsibilities to the Company are performed with the utmost integrity.  A copy of the Standards 
of Conduct policy is available to all employees and is also available in the Corporate Governance 
section of the Company’s website.  The terms are consistent with ASX CGP 3. 

4.  Integrity of corporate reporting  

Audit Committee 

Due to the size and scale of the Company, during the year the Board has not established a sub-
committee to undertake the responsibilities normally undertaken by an Audit Committee.   

The  full  Board  undertakes  all  Audit  Committee  responsibilities  in  accordance  with  its  Audit 
Committee Charter located on the Company’s website.  The responsibilities include the following:- 

-  Reviewing  and  approving  statutory  financial  reports  and  all  other  financial  information 

distributed externally; 

-  Monitoring the effective operation of the risk management and compliance framework; 
-  Reviewing  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  environment  including 

compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

-  The  nomination  of  the  external  auditors  and  the  review  of  the  adequacy  of  the  existing 

external audit arrangements; and 

-  Considering whether non audit services provided by the external auditor are consistent with 

maintaining the external auditor’s independence. 

The Company will give consideration at an appropriate time in the Company’s development, for the 
creation of an Audit Committee. 

CEO/CFO Sign Off 

Before the  Board  approves  the  Company’s  financial  statements  it  receives  a  declaration  from  its 
CEO and CFO in accordance with ASX CGP 4.   

External Auditor 

The lead audit partner responsible for the Group’s external audit is required to attend each Annual 
General  Meeting  and  to  be  available  to  answer  shareholder  questions  about  the  conduct  of  the 
audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.

external  audit  engagement  partners  is  contained  in  the  Audit  Committee  Charter  located  on  the

5.  Timely and balanced disclosure 

Continuous Disclosure Policy 

The Company has a written policy on information disclosure that focuses on continuous disclosure 
of any information concerning the Group that a reasonable person would expect to have a material 
effect on the price of the Company’s securities. 

A copy of the Continuous Disclosure Policy is located in the Corporate Governance section of the 
Company’s website and the terms are consistent with ASX CGP 5. 

The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with 
the Australia Securities Exchange (ASX).  This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance 
with  the  continuous  disclosure  requirements  in  the  ASX  Listing  Rules  and  overseeing  and  co-
ordinating  information  disclosure  to  the  ASX,  analysts,  brokers,  shareholders,  the  media  and  the 
public. 

6.   Rights of Securityholders  

Website 

The  Company  maintains  a  website  at  www.riedelresources.com.au.    The  website  contains 
information consistent with ASX CGP 6. 

Communication 

The  Company’s  Shareholder  Communications  Policy  promotes  effective  communication  with  the 
Company’s  shareholders  and  encourages shareholder  participation  at general  meetings.   A  copy 
of this Policy, which deals with communication through the ASX, the Share Registry, shareholder 
meetings  and  the  annual  report,  may  be  found  in  the  Corporate  Governance  section  of  the

7.  Recognising and Managing Risk 

Risk Committee 

Due to the size and scale of the Company, during the year the Board has not established a sub-
committee to undertake the responsibilities normally undertaken by a Risk Committee.   

The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, as well as opportunities are identified on a timely 
basis  and  receive  an  appropriate  and  measured  response,  recognising  however  that  no  cost 
effective  internal  control  system  will  preclude  all  errors  and  irregularities.    Areas  of  significant 
business risk and the effectiveness of internal controls are monitored and reviewed regularly.  The 
Board  has  adopted  a  Risk  Management  Strategy  document,  a  copy  of  which  is  located  on  the 
Company’s website. 

The  Board  has  undertaken  a  review  of  its  significant  business  risks  and  the  effectiveness  of 
internal controls for the year ended 30 June 2016. 

Internal Audit 

The Company does not currently have an internal audit function.  Once the Company is at a size 
and  scale  that  warrants  an  internal  auditor  or  nears  production  status,  the  Board  will  be 
responsible for the appointment and overseeing of the internal auditor. 

Specific  internal  control  processes  include  the  review  of  monthly  management  accounts  with 
analysis  of  the  differences  between  actual  and  budgeted  expenditures,  weekly  cash  flow  review 
and delegation of authority. 

Exposure to Economic, Environmental and Social Sustainability Risks 

The  Company’s  corporate  ethics  includes  a  strong  focus  on  environmental  responsibility.    This 
approach  is  integral  to  ensuring  the  long-term  sustainability  of  the  Company’s  mining  and 
exploration  operations.  An  Environmental  Policy  has  been  established  to  ensure  that  its  field 
operations  comply  with  permits  and  licenses,  and  have  minimal  impact  on  the  surrounding 
environments.  A copy of this policy is available on the Company’s website.   

An  important  key  to  the  Company’s  current  and  future  success  is  open  communications  with  all 
stakeholders.    The  Company  acknowledges  its  responsibility  towards  local  communities  and  are 
committed to being a good neighbor.  An Indigenous Affairs Policy has been established to ensure 
that  effective  and  positive  communication  is  established  with  indigenous  groups  and  a  copy  is 
available  on  the  Company’s  website.    The  policy  recognises  cultural  traditions,  historical 
association occupation, social and economic needs and the requirement to deal with those groups 
on the basis of their interest in accordance with Government policy. 

Part of the Company’s long-term approach towards community relations includes: 

  Recognise  and  observe  all  State  and  Commonwealth  laws  in  respect  to  Indigenous  and 

cultural matters; 

  Establish  and  make  effective  and  positive  communication  with  Indigenous  groups  the 

Company comes in contact with in the course of its activities; 

  Recognise  the  desire  of  Indigenous  people  to  fulfil  their  responsibilities  as  demanded  by 

their traditional culture;

  Where  possible  and  appropriate,  provide  local  Indigenous  groups  with  the  opportunity  to 

participate directly or indirectly in employment opportunities.   

  Where appropriate, provide the opportunity for qualified Indigenous people to tender for the 

supply of goods and services for the Company’s exploration and mining activities. 

8.  Remunerating Fairly and Responsibly 

Remuneration and Nominations Committee 

Due to the size and scale of the Company, during the year the Board has not established a sub-
committee to undertake the responsibilities normally undertaken by a Remuneration & Nomination 
Committee.   

The full Board approves all management remuneration including the allocation of options (if any) 
and involves itself in the nomination, selection and retirement of directors.  

The Company will give consideration at an appropriate time in the Company’s development, for the 
creation of sub-committees.   

The  Board  seeks  to  ensure  that  collectively  its  membership  represents  an  appropriate  balance 
between Directors with experience and knowledge of the Company and Directors with an external 
or fresh perspective.  It shall review the range of expertise of its members on a regular basis and 
seeks  to  ensure  that  it  has  operational  and  technical  expertise  relevant  to  the  operation  of  the 
Company. 

Directors  are  re-elected,  nominated  and  appointed  to  the  Board  in  accordance  with  the  Board’s 
policy  on  these  matters  set  out  in  the  Remuneration  Committee  Charter,  the  Company’s 
Constitution and ASX Listing Rules.  In considering appointments to the Board, the extent to which 
the  skills  and  experience  of  potential  candidates  complement  those  of  the  Directors  in  office  is 
considered. 

The  Company’s  remuneration  philosophy,  objectives  and  arrangements  are  detailed  in  the 
Remuneration Report which forms part of the Directors’ Report.  

Remuneration of Non Executive Directors 

The  annual  total  of  fees  to  Non  Executive  Directors  is  set  by  the  Company’s  shareholders  and 
allocated  as  Directors’  Fees  by  the  Board  on  the  basis  of  the  roles  undertaken  by  the  Directors.  
Full  details  of  Directors’  remuneration  appear  in  the  Remuneration  Report.    These  fees  are 
inclusive  of  statutory  superannuation  contributions.    No  retirement  benefits  are  paid  to  Non 
Executive Directors. 

Remuneration of Executive Management 

Remuneration  packages  for  Executive  management  are  generally  set  to  be  competitive  so  as  to 
both retain executives and attract experienced executives to the Company.  Packages comprise a 
fixed (cash) element and variable incentive components.  Payment of the variable components will 
depend on the Company’s financial and the executive’s personal performance.

Current Director Remuneration 

In  order  to  preserve  cash  in  the  Company,  the  Non  Executive  Directors  have  not  received 
Directors’  fees  since  1  May  2013  and  the  executive  Directors  receive  Directors’  fees  only  in  the 
form  of  cash.    All  Directors  are  entitled  to  participate  in  the  Performance  Rights  Plan  and/or 
Incentive Option Scheme. 

Equity Based Remuneration Scheme 

The Company has an equity-based remuneration scheme.  The Company’s Share Trading Policy 
provides that participants in the scheme must not enter into any transaction which would have the 
effect  of  hedging  or  otherwise  transferring  to  any  other  person  the  risk  of  any  fluctuation  in  the 
value  of  any  unvested  equity  interest.  The  Share  Trading  Policy  is  available  on  the  Company’s 
website.
