My fellow shareholders It is with considerable pleasure that I write to you having been Chairman of your company for just under seven months(cid:84) in what has (cid:35)een a ver(cid:64) even(cid:292)(cid:60)l period(cid:84) which I have summarised below: – Announcing some stellar early stage exploration results from diamond drilling at its Akelikongo and Akelikongo West projects in Uganda – Completing a $6.1m capital raising in July 2015, by way of share purchase plan and placement in what has been an extremely challenging and volatile equity market. My thanks go to the many shareholders who participated in this raising which will be used in ongoing exploration. – Acquisition of the 20% minority interest in the Kitgum-Pader Projects in Uganda previously held by Geocrust Pty Ltd, a company owned by the late Nick Archibald’s family. – The sale of the Thaduna project for $2M of shares in Sandfire Resources which now results in your company’s sole focus being on its Ugandan projects (cid:26)he e(cid:63)ploration activities have si(cid:43)ni(cid:41)cantl(cid:64) advanced o(cid:60)r knowledge of the Ugandan projects enabling a greater focus on certain parts of the 7300 square kilometre area.

Sipa 100% East Africa UGANDA Kampala Background The Kitgum-Pader Base and Precious Metals Project was generated following the acquisition in 2011 of relatively new airborne magnetic/radiometric data sets over East Africa, and the subsequent geological/ metallogenic interpretation of the data sets.

Since that time(cid:84) the compan(cid:64) has collected over 60,000 soil samples, along with geological mapping by the late (cid:18)ic(cid:48) (cid:3)rchi(cid:35)ald(cid:84) (cid:5)re(cid:295) (cid:8)avies and Russell Mason.

The Pamwa Zinc, Lead, Silver and (cid:6)admi(cid:60)m soil anomal(cid:64) was (cid:41)rst pass drilled using RAB during July 2014 and resulted in the discovery of a Broken Hill Type Zinc, Lead, Silver and Cadmium mineralised system.

financial report We have audited the accompanying financial report of Sipa Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year. Directors' responsibility for the financial report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Auditor's responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
