The Directors of Torian Resources Limited
submit the financial report of the Company
for the year ended 31 December 2017, which
comprises the results of Torian Resources
Limited and the entities it controlled during
the period.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The Goldfields Region of Western Australia has an
extensive history of gold mineralisation with several multi-
million ounce discoveries, numerous producing mines and
the presence of some of the world’s largest gold
exploration and production companies.
The projects were identified through a combination of a
detailed study, deep experience in the region and strong
on-ground relationships. The Company has a stated goal
of actively pursuing new acquisitions with the potential to
deliver additional shareholder value.
Throughout the year, the Directors were primarily focussed
on the Zuleika and Malcolm projects. While emphasis was
Zuleika
placed on these two projects, Torian continued to review
all of the exploration of projects it has acquired to date,
which are located in the Goldfields region of Western
Australia. They include:
Zuleika
Mt Stirling
Malcolm
Bardoc
Gibraltar
Mt Monger
Mt Keith
The Zuleika Project continues to be the Company’s main
focus. This project covers approximately 223 km2 and is
100% owned by Torian. Torian is one of the largest
tenement holders in this region and has been actively
exploring numerous targets. The exploration completed to
date has largely consisted of wide spaced RAB and aircore
drilling, with selected targets receiving Reverse Circulation
(RC) drilling. The drilling completed during the quarter has
focused on the northern and southern strike extensions of
the Paradigm gold deposits (Arina, Natasha, Mishka, Drago,
Zorro). These zones of mineralisation vary in geology,
geochemistry, orientation, width and grade and are
currently being explored by our neighbour, Northern Star
Resources (ASX:NST).

Drilling at the Paradigm North target commenced during
Q4 2017, as announced on the 4th December 2017.
Torian’s Paradigm North target is located approximately
65km North East of Kalgoorlie.
Results to date show that gold mineralisation continues

Torian’s Zuleika Project tenure at Paradigm East and
remains open at depth and along strike to the south east.
There are also several other high priority targets
surrounding Paradigm, particularly to the north and
south, that have only been lightly explored. Further
exploration is warranted and the Group has already
commenced planning for the next exploration program at
Paradigm East.

length of approximately 200m of the Zuleika Shear. This
program was designed to follow up previous RAB drilling
conducted by the Company (announced on 27 September
2016) in 2016.
The program consisted of 13 holes for 872m. Results will
be announced to the market once they have been
received.

There is no expectation of the directors that any of the above amounts are required to be impaired as all amounts are
anticipated to be fully recoverable. Whilst the above amounts are unsecured, there is no question as to the
creditworthiness of the Group’s debtors.
Allowance for impairment loss
Trade receivables and other receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-60 day terms. A provision for
impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual receivable is impaired. No impairment
has been recognised by the Group and Company in the current year. No receivable is past due.
Fair value and credit risk
Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The
maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as security, nor is it the Group’s
policy to transfer on-sell receivables to special purpose entities.
Interest rate risk
Detail regarding interest rate risk exposure is disclosed in Note 22.

In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation
techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability. The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate
in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and
relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured.

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of
shares held. At the shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise
each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders
with adequate returns and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.
The Group’s capital includes ordinary share capital, shares and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. There
are no externally imposed capital requirements.
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, distribution to shareholders and share issues.

NOTE 22: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
General Objectives, Policies and Processes
The Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives,
policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative
information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Groups’ exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and
processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated
in this note.
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies. The
Group’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks
on the results of objectives where such impacts may be material. The Board periodically reviews the effectiveness of the
process put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.
The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible. Further details regarding
these policies are set out below:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the
Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors or counterparties to derivative contracts fail to settle
their obligations owing to the Group. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable
or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:
Trade receivables
Liquidity Risk
2017
$
1,847
2016
$
53,590
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet commitments associated with
financial instruments due to creditors. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring
that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained. The Group’s operations require it to raise capital on an
on-going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets.

NOTE 23: OPERATING SEGMENTS
Identification Of Reportable Operating Segments
The Group operates in the mineral exploration and mining industry in Australia. The consolidated entity has adopted
AASB 8 Operating Segments whereby segment information is presented using a ‘management approach’. Management
has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that are used to make
strategic decisions. The consolidated entity operated predominantly in one geographical location. The consolidated
entity does not have any operating segments with discrete financial information. The consolidated entity does not have
any customers and all the consolidated entity’s assets and liabilities are located within Australia. The Board of Directors
review internal management reports on a monthly basis that is consistent with the information provided in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of cashflows.
As a result, no reconciliation is required because the information presented is what is used by the Board of Directors to
make strategic decisions including assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
Accounting Policy for 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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’), the CODM is responsible for the
allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing the performance.

be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
