iron values 

•  Various  studies  confirms  the  viability  of  the  project  to  be  an  iron  ore  producer  in  the  North  West 

• 

Tasmania 
The metallurgical processing of BFO by LIMS at 600 gauss provided an approximate mass recovery of 82%. 
Additionally, the reduction in alumina in the LIMS  BFO concentrate further makes it an attractive product 
•  Approval for inclusion of Category 3 products (construction minerals) as an additional category from NBR 

has been received 

•  Approval for mine development from the Circular Head Council has been received 
• 
EPA approval  for mining at the Nelson Bay River Iron Project  has been received 
•  Mining Lease for mining at the Nelson Bay River Iron Project has been received 

The Company’s activities over the past year have included:  

• 
• 

• 

Exploration of tenement lands; 
Seeking  approvals  for  the  development  of  Company’s  Nelson  Bay  River  Iron  Project  in  North  West 
Tasmania; and 
Statutory reporting. 

NELSON BAY RIVER IRON PROJECT (NBR)  

Exploration 

The exploration activities included data review, geological reconnaissance, estimation of iron ore resources (based 
on earlier drilling) for the Nelson Bay River Project (NBR), metallurgical studies, field visits of tenements, statutory 
reporting, etc.  

Resource Estimation 

During 2011-12, the company drilled 1,259 m RC along 23 holes for DSO resource delineation. As a consequence of 
this RC drilling, the DSO resource estimates were revised. The revised DSO resource estimates at 0.7 Mt show an 
increase of 55% in the resources over the 2010 figures of 0.45 Mt with similar iron and other element values. The 
revised resource estimates made for the goethitic-hematite (DSO and BFO) mineralisation for the Project are given 
in Table 1.

No drilling during 2011 was carried out for the BFO resource area thus the values for the BFO resource have been 
retained  from  the  2010  Resource  Estimate.  However,  reinterpretation  of  the  geology  based  on  the  information 
gleaned from the 2011 drilling highlighted a zone of resource in this area ranging from 90,000 to 200,000 tonnes at

54.5 to 55.5% Fe. Shree believes that this material, using Platts 52% Fe index as a reference point, could be sold as 
low-grade DSO and thus has the potential to increase the size of the DSO resources 

Metallurgical Studies 
During  the  year  further  metallurgical  studies  of  the  two  BFO  Composites  continued.  The  two  composites  are 
different  in  their  mineral  composition,  but  have  similar  iron  grade  53%  (Fe).  Composite-1  contains  higher 
percentage  of  hematite  with  high  silica  and  low  (<1%)  levels  of  alumina,  phosphorous  and  sulphur,  where  as 
Composite-2  has  higher  magnetite  content  with  high  silica  and  greater  than  2%  alumina  with  very  low  P  and  S

Remarks 
The  upgrade  process  for  BFO  should  be  based  on  Low  Intensity  (600  Gauss)  Magnetic  Separation.  The  mass 
recovery  at  approximately  82%  is  attractive.  Moreover,  this  also  suggests  a  substantial  reduction  in  capex  cost 
compared to Gravity separation route and hence more economical over the latter. Additionally, the reduction in 
alumina of the LIMS BFO concentrate makes it an attractive product for blending. 

Statutory approvals progress 

Mining Lease 

A  mining  lease  application  (MLA  3  M,  2011)  which  was  submitted  to  Mineral  Resources  Tasmania  earlier  for 
Category 1 products (metallic substances) was amended to add Category 3 products (construction minerals) as an 
additional category. The amendment was made to provide for the possible beneficial use of suitable parts of waste 
rock which Shree has identified as potential future opportunities for purposes,  such as road base. Test work has 
confirmed the characteristics of waste rock to required specifications for such use.

DIRECTORS REPORT 

Comment: On 13th September the Tasmanian Government has Granted a Mining Lease for mining at the Nelson 
Bay River Iron Project. 

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBCA) 

The  Company  referred  its  proposal  for  developing  a  mine  to  the  Commonwealth  Department  of  Sustainability, 
Environment, Water, Population and Communities (the Department) in February 2011. The Minister, the Hon Tony 
Burke MP, determined in March 2011 that the proposal was a controlled action and required the preparation of an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under Part 8 of the EPBC Act. Guidelines for preparation of EIS were issued 
in  July  2011  following  public  consultation  by  the  department.  Draft  EIS  was  submitted  to  the  department  & 
finalized for public exhibition period commencing in December 2011. 

The  public  exhibition  &  comment  period  for  the  draft  EIS  was  completed  in  February  with  only  one  submission 
received. A response along with final EIS has been submitted for final assessment & these documents are available 
for public viewing. 
Comment: Decision on approval is awaited. 

Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 
A Notice of Intent (NOI) was submitted on 23 March 2011 to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority’s 
(EPA).  In  May  2011,  EPA  issued  Guidelines  for  the  preparation  of  a  Development  Proposal  and  Environmental 
Management  Plan  for  Shree  Minerals  –  Nelson  Bay  River  Magnetite  Mine,  Tasmania  in  May  2011.  Draft  DPEMP 
was submitted to the EPA & finalized for public exhibition period commencing in December 2011. 

The  public  exhibition  &  comment  period  for  the  draft  DPEMP  was  completed  in  January  with  two  submissions 
received (including one being a common to draft EIS). Further discussions with EPA including iteration on further 
requirements based on assessment by various Government agencies were satisfactorily completed to finalise the 
DPEMP. 

Comment:  On  26th  July  2012  the  Board  of  the  Tasmanian  Environment  Protection  Authority  (EPA)  after  a  very 
long  and  rigorous  assessment  process  gave  approval  for  mining  at  the  Nelson  Bay  River  Iron  Project  with 
conditions  that  the  mine  will  proceed  in  accordance  with  best  practice  environmental  management, including 
measures to prevent acid drainage, to protect and enhance wildlife habitat and to minimise the risk of road kill 
by confining product transport to daylight hours. 

Mine Development Application  

During  the  year  application  for  mine  development  at  the  Nelson  Bar  River  Project  was  lodged  with  the  Circular 
Head Council.   

Comment:  Approval  for  mine  development  was  received  on  24th  August  2012;  this  completes  the  Tasmanian 
planning and environmental approval requirements. 

Project development   

•  Various studies confirm the viability of the project to become a producer of iron ore in North West 

• 

• 

Tasmania. 
The Project is located in close proximity to existing infrastructure within an established mineral province 
with active mining in the region of North West Tasmania. 
The Project has three types of resources: Direct Shipping Iron (DSO), Beneficiable low-grade resource 
(BFO) and Magnetite resource

DIRECTORS REPORT 

• 

• 

The Company plans to mine the DSO first followed by beneficiable low-grade magnetic goethitic-hematite 
(BFO) material, and then the magnetite resource. 
Further drilling & ongoing studies have the potential to improve the project economics.

SULPHIDE CREEK (EL 43/2008) 

Desk studies and  exploration work has confirmed presence of "gold mineralisation" from near surface to depths 
greater-than  180  m  at  the  tenement  and  the  occurrence  of  gold  mineralisation  in  the  area  is  attributed  to 
hydrothermal  activities.  Therefore,  the  Company  decided  to  get  an  in  depth  knowledge  on  the  mineralising 
processes and has commenced work on getting the available core (1,877 m) logged using HyLogger. Due to high 
demand on the instrument during the reporting period only 993.2 m along 6 diamond drill holes was logged. 

The HyLogger uses reflectance spectroscopy  and high-resolution imagery to scan  drill core and  identifies  various 
minerals common to many geological units and hydrothermal alteration assemblages. 

The logged info along with assays, geological logs, and previous technical reports are being studied by specialists in 
spectroscopic interpretation for data interpretation and advice on further drill targets.

DIRECTORS REPORT 

MT. BERTHA (EL 42/2004) 

During  reporting  period,  a  2-week  long  reconnaissance  fieldwork  was  undertaken.  Fieldwork  mainly  targeted  3 
magnetic  highs  (ABC  –  Figure  3)  close  to  easy  access  (Savage  River  Pipeline  access  road).  The  primary  target  is 
magnetite,  analogous  to  the  Savage  River  Iron  Ore  deposit  that  lies  ~30km  SW  along  strike  within  the  Arthur 
Metamorphic Complex (AMC). The potential for other commodities (Cu and Au) was also considered. 

Traverses  to anomalies A, B  and C, as well as along the  Pipeline  Track  were undertaken. Magnetic susceptibility 
meter  was  used  to  record  magnetic  intensity  of  rocks  from  the  targeted  areas.  Field  data  included  collection  of 
magnetic susceptibilities, rock chip sampling, and reconnaissance geology of the areas examined.  

A total of 166 magnetic intensity readings were recorded,  which will be used in refining magnetic modelling of the 
area; in particular allowing characterisation 
of 
the  Tertiary  Basalts  which  are 
widespread  and  mask  potential  subsurface 
magnetite  mineralisation within the Arthur 
Metamorphic Complex (AMC) schists.  

Additionally,  17  rock  chip  samples  were 
collected  for  geochemical  studies.  The 
samples included both typical and magnetic 
basalt  as  well  as  the  Arthur  Metamorphic 
Complex quartz-vein containing schists. The 
later, samples are aimed to assess potential

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Shareholders must also approve the framework for any broad based equity based compensation schemes and 
if  a  recommendation  is  made  for  a  director  to  participate  in  an  equity  scheme,  that  participation  must  be 
approved by the shareholders.  

Executive remuneration  

The  Company’s remuneration policy for executive directors and senior management is designed to promote 
superior  performance  and  long  term  commitment  to  the  Company.  Executives  receive  a  base  remuneration 
which is market related, and may be entitled to performance based remuneration at the ultimate discretion of 
the Board.  

Overall  remuneration  policies  are  subject  to  the  discretion  of  the  Board  and  can  be  changed  to  reflect 
competitive market and business conditions where it is in the interests of the Company and shareholders to do 
so.  

Executive  remuneration  and  other  terms  of  employment  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Remuneration 
Committee having regard to performance, relevant comparative information and expert advice.  

The  Committee’s  reward  policy  reflects  its  obligation  to  align  executive’s  remuneration  with  shareholders’ 
interests  and  to  retain  appropriately  qualified  executive  talent  for  the  benefit  of  the  Company.  The  main 
principles of the policy are:  

a. 

b. 

reward reflects the competitive market in which the Company operates;  

individual reward should be linked to performance criteria; and  

c.  directors & executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.  

The total remuneration of executives and other senior managers consists of the following:  

a. 

salary - directors , executives and senior manager receive a fixed sum payable monthly in cash;  

b.  bonus  -  directors  ,  executives  and  nominated  senior  managers  are  eligible  to  participate  in  a  profit 

participation plan if deemed appropriate;  

c. 

long  term  incentives  -  directors  ,  executives  and  nominated  senior  managers  may  also  participate  in 
employee  share  option  schemes,  with  any  option  issues  generally  being  made  in  accordance  with 
thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders. The Board however, considers it appropriate to retain 
the  flexibility  to  issue  options  to  executives  outside  of  approved  employee  option  plans  in  exceptional 
circumstances; and  

d.  other benefits - directors , executives  and senior managers are eligible to participate in superannuation 

schemes and other appropriate additional benefits.  

Remuneration of other executives consists of the following:  

a. 

salary - senior executive receives a fixed sum payable monthly in cash;  

b.  bonus - each executive is eligible to participate in a profit participation plan if deemed appropriate;  

c. 

long term incentives - each senior executive may, where appropriate, participate in share option schemes 
which have been approved by shareholders; and  

d.  other  benefits  –  senior  executive  are  eligible  to  participate  in  superannuation  schemes  and  other 

appropriate additional benefits.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Non-executive remuneration  

Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors. The Remuneration 
Committee  recommends  the  actual  payments  to  directors  and  the  Board  is  responsible  for  ratifying  any 
recommendations,  if  appropriate.  The  maximum  aggregate  remuneration  approved  for  non-executive  
directors is currently $200,000.  

It  is  recognised  that  non-executive  directors’  remuneration  is  ideally  structured  to  exclude  equity  based 
remuneration.  However,  whilst  the  Company  remains  small  and  the  full  Board,  including  the  non-executive 
directors,  are  included  in  the  operations  of  the  Company  more  intimately  than  may  be  the  case  with  larger 
companies the non-executive directors are entitled to participate in equity based remuneration schemes.  

All directors are entitled to have their indemnity insurance paid by the Company.  

Profit participation plan  

Performance  incentives  may  be  offered  to  directors  ,  executives  and  senior  management  of  the  Company 
through the operation of a profit participation plan at the ultimate discretion of the Board.  

Details of remuneration 
Key Management Personnel comprise the executive and non- executive directors only during FY2012.The remuneration for 

Key Management Personnel of the Company during the year and the previous year was as follows:

Vote on Remuneration Report at 2011 AGM 
At  the  2011  AGM  ,  77,868,999  proxy  votes  were  received  out  of  total  eligible  votes  of  95,060,000  .    Of  the 
proxy  votes  received  ,  40,741,000  proxy  votes    were  excluded  as  those  represented  by  Key  Management 
Personnel (KMP) or that KMP’s closely related party .  
The resolution was adopted with 19,097,999 votes in favour of the resolution. However , the votes cast against 
the  resolution  being  18,040,000  votes  represented  more  than  25%  of  the  votes  cast  setting  aside  the 
exclusions as described above.  
It is the Company’s understanding that the concern was around share based payments ( being issue of shares 
partly in lieu of remuneration and services and issue of performance shares in lieu of cash bonus linked with 
performance  milestones)  as  it  was  perceived  that  the  share  based  payments    lead  to  increase  in  number  of 
issued shares & may put pressure on share prices .

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2012 

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

This  financial  report  includes  the  financial  statements  and  notes  of  Shree  Minerals  Limited,  a  Company 
domiciled and incorporated in Australia.  

Statement of Compliance 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

The financial report includes the separate financial statements of the Company. 

Accounting standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”).  
Compliance  with  AIFRS  ensures  that  the  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  comply  with  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). 

The financial report is presented in Australian currency. 

Basis of Preparation 

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where 
applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets,  financial  assets  and  financial 
liabilities. 

The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied in the preparation and presentation of the 
financial report for the year ending 30 June 2012 and comparative information. 

a. 

Income Tax 

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred 
tax expense (income). 

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using 
applicable  income  tax  rates  enacted,  or  substantially  enacted,  as  at  reporting  date.  Current  tax  liabilities 
(assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation 
authority. 

Deferred  income  tax  expense  reflects  movements  in  deferred  tax  asset  and  deferred  tax  liability  balances 
during the year as well unused tax losses.  

Current  and  deferred  income  tax  expense  (income)  is  charged  or  credited  directly  to  equity  instead  of  the 
profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  ascertained  based  on  temporary  differences  arising  between  the  tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also 
result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. 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 assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when 
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting 
date.  Their  measurement  also  reflects  the  manner  in  which  management  expects  to  recover  or  settle  the 
carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2012 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent 
that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profit  will  be  available  against  which  the  benefits  of  the  deferred  tax 
asset can be utilised.  

b.  Property, Plant and Equipment  

Each  class  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  carried  at  cost  or  fair  value  less,  where  applicable,  any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. 

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of 
the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected 
net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net 
cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, 
borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the 
cost  of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.  All  other  repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to  the  income 
statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Increases  in  the  carrying  amount  arising  on  revaluation  of  land  and  buildings  are  credited  to  a  revaluation 
reserve  in  equity.  Decreases  that  offset  previous  increases  of  the  same  asset  are  charged  against  fair  value 
reserves directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement. Each year the difference 
between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement 
and  depreciation  based  on  the  asset’s  original  cost  is  transferred  from  the  revaluation  reserve  to  retained 
earnings. 

Depreciation 

The  depreciable  amount  of  all  fixed  assets  including  building  and  capitalised  lease  assets,  but  excluding 
freehold  land,  is  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their  useful  lives  to  the  consolidated  group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the 
shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset   

Plant and equipment 

Office equipment 

Depreciation Rate 

33% 

20% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed,  and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet 
date. 

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s  carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2012 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains 
and  losses  are  included  in  the  income  statement.  When  revalued  assets  are  sold,  amounts  included  in  the 
revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. 

c.  Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure 

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable 
area  of  interest.    These  costs  are  only  carried  forward  to the  extent  that  they  are  expected  to  be  recouped 
through successful development on the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which 
permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserve. 

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which 
the decision to abandon the area is made. 

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest area amortised over the 
life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves. 

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry 
forward costs in relation to that area of interest. 

d.  Leases 

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the  risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, 
but  not  the  legal  ownership  that  is  transferred  to  entities  in  the  economic  entity,  are  classified  as  finance 
leases.  

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair 
value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed 
residual  values.  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  reduction  of  the  lease  liability  and  the  lease 
interest expense for the period. 

Leased  assets  are  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  shorter  of  their  estimated  useful  lives  or  the 
lease term.  

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are 
charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.  

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over 
the life of the lease term.  

e.  Financial Instruments 

Recognition and Initial Measurement 

Financial  instruments,  incorporating  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities,  are  recognised  when  the  entity 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial 
assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where  the instrument is not 
classified  as  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  Transaction  costs  related  to  instruments  classified  as  at  fair 
value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and 
measured as set out below.  

Derecognition 

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the 
risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations

S H R E E   M I N E R A L S   L T D  

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2012 

are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability 
extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of 
non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.  

Classification and Subsequent Measurement 

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss  

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose 
of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or 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.  Realised  and  unrealised  gains  and  losses  arising  from  changes  in  fair 
value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.  

(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 and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method. 

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments  

Held-to-maturity  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  have  fixed  maturities  and  fixed  or 
determinable  payments,  and  it  is  the  group’s  intention  to  hold  these  investments  to  maturity.  They  are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets  

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that 
are  not  classified  in  any  of  the  other  categories.  They  comprise  investments  in  the  equity  of  other  entities 
where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. 

(v)  Financial Liabilities 

Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  (excluding  financial  guarantees)  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method. 

Derivative instruments  

Derivative instruments are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken 
to the income statement unless they are designated as hedges.  

Fair value  

Fair  value  is  determined  based  on  current  bid  prices  for  all  quoted  investments.  Valuation  techniques  are 
applied  to  determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length  transactions, 
reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.  

Impairment  
At each reporting date, the group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has 
been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the 

Page 33

S H R E E   M I N E R A L S   L T D  

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2012 

instrument  is  considered  to  determine  whether  an  impairment  has  arisen.  Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  the 
income statement.  

Impairment of Non Financial Assets 

f. 
At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine 
whether  there  is  any  indication  that  those  assets  have  been  impaired.  If  such  an  indication  exists,  the 
recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is 
compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is 
expensed to the income statement. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.  

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.  

Interests in Joint Ventures 

g. 
The Company’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in 
the appropriate items of the financial statements.  

h.  Employee Benefits 
Provision  is  made  for  the  company’s  liability  for  employee  benefits  arising  from  services  rendered  by 
employees  to  balance  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.  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. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms 
to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. 

Equity-settled compensation 
The group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of 
the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over 
the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained 
as  the  market  bid  price.  The  fair  value  of  options  is  ascertained  using  a  Black–Scholes  pricing  model  which 
incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and 
adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the 
equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. 

i.  Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for 
which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2012 

j.  Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid 
investments  with  original  maturities  of  12  months  or  less,  and  bank  overdrafts.  Bank  overdrafts  are  shown 
within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet 

k.  Revenue 
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). 

l.  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 flows 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. 

m.  Comparative Figures 
When  required  by  Accounting  Standards,  comparative  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  conform  to  changes  in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

n.  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments 
The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgments  incorporated  into  the  financial  report  based  on  historical 
knowledge  and  best  available  current  information.  Estimates  assume  a  reasonable  expectation  of  future 
events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. 

Key Judgements – Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure 
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current.  
These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage that 
permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting 
policy stated in note 1(c).   

Key Judgements Share based payment transactions 
The Company 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 internal 
valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model or other appropriate methodology, using the assumptions 
detailed in note 19.

o.  Operating segments 
Identification  and  measurement  of  segments  –  AASB  8  requires  the  ‘management  approach’  to  the 
identification measurement and disclosure of operating segments. The ‘management approach’ requires that 
operating segments be identified on the basis of internal  reports that are regularly reviewed by the  entity’s 
chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. This could 
also  include  the  identification  of  operating  segments  which  sell  primarily  or  exclusively  to  other  internal 
operating segments.

The value of Company interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon the: 

•  the continuance of the economic entity rights to tenure of the areas of interest; 
•  the results of future exploration; and 
•  the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of 

interest, or alternatively, by their sale. 

The  exploration  properties  may  be  subjected  to  claim(s)  under  native  title,  or  contain  sacred  sites,  or  sites  of 
significance to Aboriginal people.  As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject 
to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for  compensation.  At this time, it is  not possible to 
quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

Capital risk management 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so 
that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access 
to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s 
capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet 
exploration  programmes  and  corporate  overheads.  The  Company’s  strategy  is  to  ensure  appropriate  liquidity  is 
maintained  to  meet  anticipated  operating  requirements,  with  a  view  to  initiating  appropriate  capital  raisings  as 
required. The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 are as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2012 

i. Treasury Risk Management 
The senior executives of the Company meet on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure 
and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and 
forecasts. 

ii. Financial Risks 
The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk 
and credit risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The Company does not have any debt that may be affected by interest rate risk. 

Sensitivity analysis 
At 30 June 2012, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 75 basis points from the weighted average rate for the 
year  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  post-tax  loss  for  the  Company  would  have  been  $21,577 
lower/higher  (2011  -  $19,179  lower/higher)  as  a  result  of  lower/higher  interest  income  from  cash  and  cash 
equivalents. 

Liquidity risk 
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised 
borrowing facilities are maintained. 

Credit risk 
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to 
recognised  financial  assets,  is  the  carrying  amount,  net  of  any  provisions  for  impairment  of  those  assets,  as 
disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. 

The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables 
under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity. 

b. Fair value estimation 
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or 
for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company and the parent entity at the 
balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount. 

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  traded  in  active  markets  is  based  on  quoted  market  prices  at  the 
reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price. 

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate 
their fair values due to their short-term nature. 

c. Interest Rate Risk 
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate 
as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of 
financial assets and financial liabilities comprises:

NOTE 18: OPERATING SEGMENTS 
The company operates predominately in one segment involved in the mineral exploration. Geographically, the 
consolidated  entity  is  domiciled  and  operates  in  one  segment  being  Australia.  In  accordance  with  AASB  8 
Operating Segments, a management approach to reporting has been applied.  The information presented in the 
Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  and  the  Statement  of  Financial  Position  reflects  the  sole  operating 
segment. 

NOTE 19: SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 
During the year 4,000,000 (2011: nil) options and 1,000,000 (2011: nil) Share Performance Rights  were issued.  
Accordingly , an adjustment to the share based option reserve of $155,442 was done in the current reporting 
period (Refer Note 12). The fair value was determined as at Dec 2011 for by an internal valuation using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model or other appropriate methodology, using the following assumptions: 

1. Performance Shares : Production of DSO at 100,000 tonnes for FY2013, 400,000 tonnes for FY2014 & 130,000 
tonnes for FY 2015. 

2. Risk Free Rate : Depending on term - bonds over the period vary between 3.55 to 4.12%, have assumed 4% for 
calculation purposes  

3.Grant Date : 23/11/2011 

4.Volatality : As the industry is subject to large variances and therefore industry standard is most relevant   

5. Price at Grant : 0.12 per share.   

Options  granted  carry  no  dividend  or  voting  rights.  When  exercisable,  each  option  is  convertible  into  one 
ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights. 

Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions 
There  were  $106,500  (2011:  $66,500)  expenses  arising  from  share-based  payment  transactions  recognised 
during the period.  These expenses were recognised at the date the share based payments were approved and 
at the share price applicable at that date.
