TIGERS REALM COAL ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Chairman’s Letter
“Although the primary focus of Company activities 
moved to the Amaam North project early in 2014, 
a number of critical path works and significant 
permitting milestones were achieved at Amaam 
during the year.”
Dear Shareholders,
In 2013 excellent progress was made at both the Amaam and 
Amaam North projects and your Company achieved a number 
of significant milestones in its progression from coking coal 
explorer to a developer and producer.
The Amaam Prefeasibility Study (PFS) completed in April 
demonstrated an economically robust, large scale, long life 
coking coal project that is expected to deliver strong returns 
to shareholders when in production. However, developing the 
mine and associated infrastructure to commence production 
requires a large capital investment of around US$1.3 billion.
Given the large capital requirements and timeframes for 
developing Amaam, and the broader market outlook for coal 
explorers and developers generally, the TIG Board approved  
a strategic shift in focus towards assessing the potential for 
developing a low capital and operating cost start up mine  
at the Amaam North licence.
Following early drilling success at Amaam North, an initial  
near surface resource of 27Mt was estimated for a small part 
of the exploration licence, known as Deposit F, in mid-2013. 
Prefeasibility studies commenced immediately to assess the 
potential for developing a mine at Deposit F utilising existing 
nearby port infrastructure. The results of the PFS announced 
in early September highlighted an excellent opportunity for  
the development of a low capital and operating cost coking 
coal mine with initial production targeted for late 2015 and 
first shipments of coal product in 2016. The proposed early 
starter mine would produce up to 1Mtpa of coking coal over 
an 11 year life and ship coal through an existing nearby port. 
Project economics defined by the PFS are highly attractive 
with an initial capital investment of US$52 million required  
to commence production, and an Internal Rate of Return  
of 37% on life-of-mine capital investment.
Immediately following delivery of the Amaam North Project F 
PFS and its associated attractive financial metrics, a Bankable 
Feasibility Study (BFS) commenced. Completion is expected 
in the first half of 2014.
Although the primary focus of Company activities moved to 
the Amaam North project early in 2014, a number of critical 
path works and significant permitting milestones were achieved 
at Amaam during the year. In early March, Rosnedra, the 
Russian Federal Subsoil Agency granted the Company a 
mining licence over part of the Amaam deposit scheduled for 
initial open pit production. Soon after the Company’s proposal 
to construct a 15Mtpa coal terminal at Arinay lagoon was 
included in the Russian Federal Government’s Scheme  
of Territorial Planning. This important achievement enables  
the Company to proceed with detailed engineering and design 
of the Arinay coal terminal as part of the Amaam BFS.
Receipt of the first mining licence for Amaam only two years 
after the initial discovery, triggered an increase in ownership  
of the Amaam licence from 40% to 60% under the Company’s 
joint venture agreement. Tigers Realm Coal’s ownership of 
Amaam subsequently lifted to 80% later in the year following 
negotiations which removed the requirement for the Company 
to complete a BFS as a pre-condition to earning an additional 
20% interest.
The timely receipt of these and several other important permitting 
milestones since commencing work on the Amaam Project in 
2009 clearly demonstrates a strong level of stakeholder support 
for the Company’s activities in Chukotka, and our ability to 
effectively operate within the Russian business environment. 
While 2013 was a highly productive year operationally,  
the Company also made significant advances on the  
corporate front.

Amaam North 
Project F Coal 
Outcrop
In December an equity funding package of A$62.5 million was 
announced, with completion anticipated in early 2014. This 
package is expected to provide a material part of the equity 
funding required to bring Project F into initial production, 
progress critical path items for the Amaam BFS and to meet 
statutory licence obligations through to the end of 2014. 
The significant advances made by the Company in 2013,  
both operationally and financially, could not have been 
achieved without the dedication and hard work of our 
employees and ongoing support of our shareholders, partners 
and stakeholders. On behalf of the Board, I would like to 
extend my sincere thanks to all.
The package comprises a placement to two highly regarded 
international institutional investors – Baring Vostok Fund V 
(A$36.2 million) and Russian Direct Investment Fund (A$16.3 
million), coupled with a parallel placement of A$7.85 million 
to new and existing shareholders of the Company, and a 
Shareholder Purchase Plan of A$1.65 million.
Attracting significant investments in the Company and its 
projects from these two highly successful institutional funds 
with extensive experience and strong linkages in Russia, is 
considered an important development in the evolution of 
Tigers Realm Coal as we progress from explorer-developer 
to producer status. I look forward to welcoming them to the 
register and their representatives to the Board.
Tigers Realm Coal is now well positioned for an exciting year 
of developments in 2014 as it progresses Project F through 
development studies and into construction. I look forward to 
keeping you well informed on our progress throughout the year.
Regards
Antony Manini

Managing Director’s Report
“Our path to becoming a major coking coal exporter 
became clearer in 2013 through the completion 
of PFS on both Amaam and Amaam North. Both 
projects were proven in the PFS to be very attractive 
investments in their own right with strong economics 
on a number of measures.”
I am very pleased to report that 2013 was a year of strong  
and rapid progress on both the operational and corporate 
fronts for Tigers Realm Coal. Our efforts continue to confirm 
that the Company has two of the best undeveloped coking coal 
deposits in the world: Amaam and Amaam North, in Chukotka 
Province, Pacific east Russia.
Our exploration and resource drilling continues to see the 
discovery of significantly greater tonnes of coal and the solid 
growth of our resource base. Our PFS work has confirmed 
that the projects have the potential to be developed into 
two of the world’s lowest cost coking coal producers, in no 
small part due to their exceptional location on the Pacific 
coast and near existing coal export facilities. We continue to 
benefit from the great support of the Chukotka Government 
having received its commitment to assist in accelerating the 
development of our projects. Furthermore, our studies have 
demonstrated the opportunity to develop the projects in a 
staged, complementary manner that will allow the Company 
to optimise the great resource base we are proving up on 
our way to becoming a large scale, world class coking coal 
exporter. Our path to becoming a major coking coal exporter 
became clearer in 2013 through the completion of PFS on 
both Amaam and Amaam North. Key financial metrics are 
presented in the operational review, but I am very pleased  
to highlight here that both projects were proven in the PFS  
to be very attractive investments in their own right with  
strong economics on a number of measures.
As I highlighted in last year’s report, the discovery of a major 
new coking coal deposit at Amaam North afforded us an 
opportunity to shift focus to a low capital and operating 
expenditure early starter project option, given its close 
proximity to an existing coal terminal, just 35km to the east. 
In summary our key achievements were:
Change of strategy; 
optimising potential 
and growth
Having reviewed our assets and opportunities, we decided to undertake a major shift in strategy 
from focusing on development of a single large scale project to a staged approach to basin wide 
development that takes into account the scalability of our projects versus the current high cost  
of capital and difficulties in funding large projects.
A major new and 
growing discovery
In late 2012 we moved to rapidly explore an area of thick coal outcrops on the Amaam North licence 
block, which resulted in the discovery of a major new coking coal deposit – Deposit F.
Fast tracking 
production
Focus shifted to a low capital cost, starter mine project – Project F – that has put TIG on a fast track  
to production. The team very quickly advanced Project F, proving up an initial Resource from discovery  
in less than six months and then completing a PFS in under 12 months. The time to undertake this 
work is almost unparalleled for a project of this nature globally and despite recent challenges we remain 
on track to bring the project into production around two years after the discovery of Deposit F. 
Funding secured; 
strategic investors  
on board
The quality of our projects and team have attracted the interest of major new investors that provide  
the potential for ongoing support in coming years, and who bring great strategic benefit to TIG as 
investors with an outstanding track record of success in Russia. 
TIGERS REALM COAL ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Landscape 
of Project F 
area
“A key positive feature of  
the Project F coking coal 
that will make it such a  
low operating cost operation 
is that approximately 55% 
of the product coal over 
the life-of-mine will have 
an average ash content 
of 10.5%, meaning that 
it will bypass the wash 
plant thereby eliminating 
significant costs.”
We have concentrated our drilling activities on Amaam North 
to quickly prove up an initial small Resource that would justify 
a 1Mtpa operation which could be in production by late 2015, 
some two years earlier than would be possible for the large 
scale Amaam project.
Following that intensive drilling program we were pleased  
to announce in July an initial Resource for Deposit F of 27Mt, 
comprising 11.7Mt in the Measured and Indicated category 
and 15.1Mt in the Inferred category. Some 78% of this coal  
is in the open pit domain and a third of that lies within 50m 
from the surface, pointing to the potential for a low strip ratio 
and low mining cost operation.
Work began on the PFS immediately and was completed very 
quickly with the results announced to the ASX in September. 
The PFS demonstrated Project F to be very attractive – total 
FOB cash costs (excluding government royalties) of US$73.3/t; 
very low capital cost to initial production of US$52 million; 
a large Net Present Value (NPV10) of US$177 million; and 
an outstanding Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 37%. These 
financial metrics would rank it as one of the most attractive, 
lowest cost coking coal mines in the world. However, it is early 
days in our work at Amaam North and the exploration upside 
we see there is expected to yield further larger tonnages 
of shallow coking coal which will further enhance project 
economics and scale over time.
With such a strong investment opportunity presented to it, 
the Board quickly approved ongoing investment in a BFS on 
Project F which is currently underway and due for completion 
in Q2 2014. We look forward to announcing the results of the 
BFS when they become available. A key positive feature of the 
Project F coking coal that will make it such a low operating 
cost operation is that approximately 55% of the product coal 
over the life-of-mine will have an average ash content of 
10.5%, meaning that it will bypass the wash plant thereby 
eliminating significant costs.
05
TIGERS REALM COAL ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Managing Director’s Report continued
Based on Landsat mapping activity close to the southern, 
eastern and north western perimeters of the Amaam North 
licence, our exploration team believes that, potentially, a high 
proportion of the Exploration Target is the same low ash Lower 
Chukchi coal we see at Deposit F. This will be tested by the 
current and future drilling campaigns and if proven, it would 
greatly enhance the value of the Amaam North deposit.
Complementary to Project F and Amaam North is Amaam,  
our large scale coking coal deposit with Total Resources of 
464Mt, located 40km from Amaam North and 25km from  
the deep water port site proposed at Arinay Lagoon. Amaam  
is an important long term value driver for the company, both 
as an operation in its own right and as part of an integrated 
Amaam-Amaam North operation, with the potential to  
produce more than 10Mt of coal per annum.
During 2013, we progressed our work on Amaam from the 
Scoping Study that was released in 2012 to a PFS which  
was released in April 2013. The Amaam PFS demonstrated 
it to be a very robust large project: saleable product coal 
peaking at 6.5Mtpa for 10 years of the projected 20 year life-
of-mine; total FOB cash costs (excluding government royalties) 
of US$98/t which would rank it in the second quartile of the 
seaborne global cost curve; an NPV10 of US$885 million;  
and an attractive IRR of 19%.
Understandably, a project of this size does require a significant 
investment, which the PFS estimated to be US$1.34 billion to 
first production and US$2.11 billion to full production (including 
US$0.4 billion for the underground mine). While this presents 
a significant challenge for a company the size of TIG, the 
strong returns that it will generate make it a compelling 
investment opportunity, and the Company continues to 
investigate ways to reduce the capital required and various 
funding options for the project.
During the year we were also pleased to report that we 
renegotiated the terms of our agreement with our partner  
at Amaam that saw the Company move to owning 80% of  
the project without the need to complete a BFS. In doing 
so, we now own an 80% interest in both of our Amaam and 
Amaam North projects.
With the Company focused on the low capital expenditure,  
low operating expenditure early starter opportunity at Project 
F, the work program at Amaam has concentrated on critical 
path items for the BFS and drilling to upgrade Resource 
confidence.
Longer term, the Company will assess options to realise 
significant further value by integrating the two projects via  
a rail or road connection. Conceptually this has the potential 
to result in combined production of over 10Mtpa, comprising 
1Mtpa Project F coal through the existing port, 3– 4Mtpa from 
an expanded Amaam North via a transport link to the Arinay 
Lagoon port, and 5– 6Mtpa from Amaam.
During 2013, the Company undertook an extensive search for 
Project F funding. Whilst capital markets for resource projects 
remain constrained, we were pleased to announce the signing 
of Subscription Agreements for placements with two highly 
regarded international funds in December. The placements 
are with Baring Vostok Fund V (BV) for A$36.2 million and the 
Russian Foreign Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) for A$16.3 
million. In addition, there will be a Parallel Placement to new 
and existing sophisticated investors of up to A$7.85 million 
and a Shareholder Purchase Plan (SPP) of up to A$1.65 
million. All placements and the SPP are at A$0.165/share.  
In total A$62.5 million is expected to be raised. These capital 
raisings were approved by shareholders at a General Meeting 
in March.
This is a significant event for TIG: it brings to the share register 
two large institutional investors with extensive experience 
investing in Russia; it brings to the Board representatives from 
each fund; and it is expected to provide a material part of the 
equity component of the funding required for the development 
of Project F, and funds required for the critical path items of 
the Amaam BFS and licence obligations.
Last year I reported that we were finding business conditions 
in Russia very favourable, particularly in the far east where 
the Russian Government is keen to encourage economic 
development. We continue to find Russia, and particularly 
Chukotka, to be outstanding jurisdictions for the development 
of our business. Investors and analysts on our site visit in July 
2013 experienced first-hand the support we receive from 
the Chukotka Government. In Anadyr, a number of meetings 
were held between our visiting group and the Deputy Vice 
Governors, whilst in Moscow, the Governor of Chukotka, 
Mr Roman Kopin, took time out of his busy schedule in an 
election campaign to attend a reception held for TIG and 
its visitors at the residence of the Australian Ambassador to 
Russia, Mr Paul Myler. These meetings provided a forum for 
the Government of Chukotka to voice its strong support for  
our projects and their development.
In 2013, we saw further indication that Russia is open for 
business with the announcement of a planned investment 
in TIG by the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) of 
A$16.3 million. The US$10 billion Russian Direct Investment 
Fund established by the Russian Federal Government to 
attract foreign investment has partnerships with a number 
of sovereign and private funds including: China Investment 
Corporation, Kuwait Investment Authority, Mubadala 
Development Company, Japan Bank for International 
Cooperation, Korea Investment Corporation, Blackrock, 
Franklin Templeton and Goldman Sachs.
In every respect, TIG continues to see Russia, and specifically 
Chukotka, as favourable places to do business. We have been 
pleased with the strong level of interest in our projects from 
government at all levels and appreciate their strong support 
and assistance through the various permitting processes.

“During the year we were also 
pleased to report that we 
renegotiated the terms of our

move to owning 80% of the 
project without the need to 
complete a BFS. In doing so, 
we now own an 80% interest

Amaam North projects.”
I continue to believe we are at the vanguard of a major push 
by mineral sector investors, including Chinese and western 
entities into this last great frontier for mineral exploration and 
discovery and in that, we have an early mover advantage. 
The outlook for TIG in 2014 is very positive as we continue 
to progress at the rapid pace set in 2013. Our goals include:
•	
Project F Resource upgrade;
•	
Amaam Resource upgrade;
•	
completion of Amaam North Project F BFS, targeted for  
Q2, 2014;
•	
advance Amaam North Project F mining licence application;
•	
undertake key tasks for Amaam and Arinay Port BFS;
•	
continue drilling to meet licence commitments;
•	
continue drilling to grow and upgrade Resource base; and
•	
commence early development work on Project F in Q3, 2014.
I look forward to keeping you up to date on our progress 
through regular announcements as the milestones are 
achieved.

TIGERS REALM COAL ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Managing Director’s Report continued
In conclusion, 2013 was a year of tremendous progress, 
with prefeasibility studies completed on both Amaam and 
Project F at Amaam North, the commencement of the BFS 
on Project F, and a major fund raising cornerstoned by the 
investments of BV and RDIF. I fully expect 2014 to be another 
year of significant progress for the Company as we pursue the 
development of Project F and capitalise on the exceptional 
exploration potential of our projects. Crucially, by the end 
of 2014, TIG aims to be only 12 months away from first 
coal production. A number of recent reports by coking coal 
analysts suggest that by that time, late 2015, the market will 
have moved back into supply deficit, with the supply increases 
in 2013 and 2014 fully absorbed by the expected ongoing 
coking coal import growth of China, which has trended at  
17% per annum for the last three years. Coupled with the 
declining supply of high quality coking coal in China and 
globally, this bodes well for coking coal prices in coming  
years and as the Company moves into production.
I would like to thank and congratulate the Tigers Team for their 
huge effort during a year that has thrown up many challenges 
but yielded great success. 
I thank our shareholders for their continued support of our 
Company.
Go the mighty Tiger!

Competent Persons Statement
The information compiled in this announcement relating to exploration results, exploration targets or Coal Resources at Amaam or Amaam North is based on information 
provided by TIG and compiled by Neil Biggs, who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and who is employed by Resolve Coal Pty Ltd, 
and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking to qualify 
as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code. Neil Biggs consents to the inclusion in the announcement of the matters based on this information in the form 
and context in which it appears.
Note A – Inferred Resources
According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code an ‘Inferred Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade (or 
quality) are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade (or 
quality) continuity. It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, 
pits, workings and drill holes. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be 
converted to an Ore Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with 
continued exploration.
Note B – Indicated Resources
According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code an ‘Indicated Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade (or quality), 
densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of modifying factors in sufficient detail to support mine 
planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing 
gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to assume geological and grade (or 
quality) continuity between points of observation where data and samples are gathered.
Note C – Measured Resources
According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code a ‘Measured Mineral Resource’ is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade (or quality), 
densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning 
and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing gathered 
through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes, and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade (or quality) 
continuity between points of observation where data and samples are gathered. A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than that applying to 
either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource. It may be converted to a Proved Ore Reserve or under certain circumstances to a Probable 
Ore Reserve.
Note D – Exploration Target
According to the commentary accompanying the JORC Code an Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a 
defined geological setting where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade (or quality), relates to mineralisation for which there 
has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. Any such information relating to an Exploration Target must be expressed so that it cannot be 
misrepresented or misconstrued as an estimate of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve. The terms Resource or Reserve must not be used in this context.

Amaam Coking Coal Project
178E
The Amaam Coking Coal Project consists of two tenements, 
Amaam and Amaam North. The tenements, covering an 
area of 709km2 are located in the Bering Coal Basin in the 
Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (District) in far eastern Russia, 
approximately 230km south of the regional capital of Anadyr, 
and some 40km to the south of the existing coal mining 
operations of Nagornaya and its supporting town at Beringovsky. 
The Bering Coal Basin covers an area of approximately 7,500km2 
and extends from north of Beringovsky (Nargornaya mine) to 
the southern coast line. The primary coal host sequence at 
Amaam North and Amaam is the Middle Chukchi Formation 
of Palaeogene age. However, the initial Resource at Amaam 
North, Deposit F, is within the Lower Chukchi Formation, which 
is characterised by large seam cumulative coal thicknesses over 
10m and a significant proportion of low ash, bypass coal. 
The Chukotka Provincial Government is supportive of regional 
development and TIG enjoys a favourable fiscal regime including 
a 20% corporate tax rate and accelerated tax depreciation. A 
Federal Government royalty of RUB57/tonne (approximately 
US$2/tonne) is applied to sales of coking coal. North Pacific Coal 
Company (NPCC) management has well established relationships 
with the Provincial Government and extensive experience in 
regulatory approval processes. Western mining companies have 
operated successfully in Chukotka since 2002, including Kinross 
Gold Corporation. Kinross Gold Corporation’s Kupol gold mine 
has been in production since May 2008, and it commissioned 
its second mine, Dvoinoye, in 2013.

•	
Initial Resource of 26.8Mt (Deposit F) was announced  
in July.
•	
A PFS on Project F was completed in September 2013.
•	
A BFS was commenced and is due for completion in  
Q2, 2014.
•	
Completed a total of 5,460m drilling.
•	
Submission of technical documentation required for state 
assessment prior to the granting of a Discovery Certificate.
TIG owns 80% of Amaam North. Under the terms of the 
acquisition agreement with its joint venture partner, BS 
Chukchi Investments LLC (BSCI), TIG is required to fund 
all project expenditure until the completion of a BFS. After 
completion of a BFS, each joint venture party is required  
to contribute to further project expenditure on a pro-rata  
basis. BSCI is also entitled to receive a royalty of 3% gross 
sales revenue from coal produced from within the Amaam 
North licence.
Initial Resource at Amaam North 
In July 2013, TIG announced an initial Resource of 26.8Mt  
at Project F, the first of several areas to be tested on the highly 
prospective Amaam North licence block. The Project F area 
was the target of the first major drilling campaign at Amaam 
North due to the presence of outcropping, thick, shallow 
dipping coking coal seams only 18km from an existing road 
and 35km from the operating coal port on the Pacific coast. 
Resource consultant, Resolve Coal Pty Ltd, has estimated 
26.8Mt of Coal Resources at Deposit F in the Amaam North 
licence block. This includes Measured Resources of 7.2Mt, 
Indicated Resources of 4.6Mt and Inferred Resources of 
15.0Mt. 20.9Mt of the total Coal Resource is in the open  
pit domain less than 150m from surface. Below 150m,  
the Resource totals 5.9Mt, providing significant potential 
upside from future underground operations. 
The Resource estimate is based on 40 drill holes (totalling 
3,087m) completed in April 2013, outcrop mapping and 
sampling, and structural interpretations of satellite photography 
and Landsat imagery. With large areas of undrilled outcropping 
coal seams in occurrence and the first drilling campaign already 
resulting in a significant Resource being delineated, there is 
excellent exploration upside potential on the Amaam North 
licence block.

Amaam North Project F Prefeasibility Study (PFS)
In September 2013, TIG announced the results of the PFS 
for a low capital and operating cost starter project at Amaam 
North. The Project F PFS focused on the open pit potential  
of the Project F Resource. This open pit project comprises 
three main components: 
•	
The mine site
and processing plant (CHPP), and associated infrastructure.
 comprising an open pit mine, coal handling 
•	
 comprising a 35km winter road 
The coal transport chain
from the mine site to port for coal transport and mine site 
supplies, and a service road for personnel and supplies 
transport during the summer period.
•	
The coal terminal
area coal stockpiles, and an upgrade to the existing 
transhipment facilities.
 comprising the construction of port  
The key objective of the PFS was to deliver a low capital,  
low risk, high value operation, which will provide TIG’s initial 
coal production. The study designs take into account:
1. 
The potential for increased production from further 
exploration success at Amaam North.
2. 
The future development of Amaam and the Arinay port 
facilities to the south.
The Project F Base Case encompasses an open pit containing 
13.4Mt of ROM coal at a stripping ratio of 5:1, and mined at 
rate of 1.5Mtpa ROM coal. Base Case production is 9.6Mt of 
product coal, comprising 8.3Mt of Coking Coal and 1.3Mt of 
Thermal Coal at an average cost of US$73.30/tonne. Mining 
is to be conducted year round, with product coal trucked on a 
winter road 35km to the existing coal terminal at Beringovsky 
where it will be stockpiled and shipped out in the summer 
months. 4.4Mt (46%) of product coal will be mined as a direct 
shipping (bypass) product from the low ash (4 Group) seams 
at the top of the coal formation. 3.9Mt (40%) of product will 
be produced after washing the seams (1 to 3 Group) in the 
lower part of the formation. 1.3Mt (14%) of product coal, 
comprising all unwashed near surface oxidised coal, will 
be sold as a high calorific value thermal coal. Capital cost 
required to commence production is US$52 million.
Amaam North Project F Bankable Feasibility  
Study (BFS) 
Following the completion of the Project F PFS, work 
commenced immediately on the Project F BFS. Key areas  
of work and progress to date include:
•   The commencement of drilling in November 2013 to extend 
and upgrade Resource confidence:
  –  Of the 6,000m planned for completion by Q2 2014, 
2,374m was completed by December 31, 2013. 
•   Bulk sampling drilling for coal washability assessment was 
completed in December 2013 with 1200kg of coal extracted 
for test work by the end of the month.
•   Base case open pit mine design confirmed the PFS mining 
Inventory and stripping ratios and Project F underground 
mine design commenced.
•   Coal quality, beneficiation and marketing studies:
  –  Washability testwork was completed and assessment  
of the data progressed.
  –  Beneficiation plant, stockpiles earthworks and structural 
design scopes progressed.
•   Infrastructure, utilities and services planning and design 
commenced with design work for the mine industrial 
complex, road and fuel storage facilities completed.

Strong economics confirmed.
•	
Completed a total of 5,941m drilling.
•	
Award of a mining licence for Area 3.
•

Amaam Tenement Overview
The Amaam tenement comprises the tenement Licence 
Number AND 13867 TP. The licence is 231km2, measuring 
approximately 32km east-west and 9km north-south, and 
located 30km from the Bering Sea coast and a proposed 
deepwater port site at Arinay Lagoon.
TIG holds an 80% interest in the Amaam tenement. During 
2013, TIG was granted a mining licence for part of Area 3 on 
the Amaam tenement, which satisfied the required condition 
for its ownership to move from 40% to 60%. Subsequent to 
that, TIG renegotiated its ownership agreement with its JV 
partner Bering, which resulted in TIG’s ownership increasing 
to 80%.
Amaam Tenement Geology
TIG commenced exploration activities in 2010 and completed 
7,720m of drilling during the 2010-11 Russian winter drilling 
season and 14,413m during the 2011-12 season across the 
entire tenement, but predominantly in Areas 3 and 4. In the 
2012-13 drilling season TIG completed 6,967m of drilling, 
and a further 2,580m has been completed in the 2013-14 
season to December 2013.
The Amaam Project is a multi-seam, moderate dipping 
deposit within a synclinal basin. Coal is in the Middle Chukchi 
formation, and is divided into four main areas by north-west 
trending faults. To date, exploration activities have identified 
that the highest tonnages of coal are within Areas 3 and 4.

Amaam Prefeasibility Study (PFS)
The Amaam Project PFS primarily focused on the open pit 
potential of the Amaam Resource comprising three main 
components:
1. 
An open pit mine, coal handling and preparation plant 
(CHPP), and associated infrastructure on the Amaam 
Licence.
2. 
A 25km all-weather road and rail line to a coal terminal 
located on the north shore of Arinay Lagoon. 
3. 
A coal terminal with loading facilities for shipment of coking 
coal to export markets.
In addition, the PFS addressed (at a lower level of study 
accuracy) the potential for coking coal production from the 
remaining Resources and Exploration Target across both 
licences. 
The PFS demonstrates capacity for production of 6.5Mtpa of 
coking coal comprising 5Mtpa from the open pit and 1.5Mtpa 
from underground mining over the 20 year life-of-mine (LOM). 
Total free-on-board (FOB) costs, including mining, washing, 
administration, rail and port, are estimated to average 
US$98.01/t of saleable product over LOM.

Amaam Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS)
Following completion of the PFS, work commenced on the 
BFS, with ongoing work programs aimed at assessing options 
to further enhance project value, including increasing open 
pit resources from further drilling at Amaam, extending the 
underground mine life beyond the initial 20 year LOM and 
improving coking coal yields by further processing of  
coarse middlings.

Specific work programs in 2013 included:
•  Drilling to extend and upgrade the Resource:
  –  The 2012-13 season was completed and 9,000m  
is planned for completion in the 2013-14 season.  
2,580 million was completed by 31 December 2013.
•   Raw coal quality test work on samples from the 2012-
2103 drilling program. Work on the Resource upgrade 
continued and an update is expected in Q1 2014. Work 
on the Resources upgrade continued in 2013 resulting 
in an announcement in Q1 2014 of an increase in Total 
Resources from 412Mt to 464Mt, of which 78Mt was 
upgraded from Inferred status to Indicated status.
•   Collection of a bulk sample for pilot scale washability,  
and clean coal and coke test work was completed.
•   Summer season climate and marine studies required for 
the development of the Arinay Port were completed. Winter 
season climate and marine studies commenced Q1 2014.
Permitting
TIG achieved an important permitting milestone in being 
awarded a mining licence for part of the Amaam deposit. 
During the March quarter, Chukotnedra, the Chukotka Subsoil 
Resource Management Agency, formally advised TIG’s 
Russian subsidiary, North Pacific Coal Company (NPCC) of 
its decision to issue NPCC a licence to mine and explore for 
coal in the part of the Amaam deposit covered by TIG’s initial 
mining licence application. This initial application covered 
approximately 40% of Area 3 which is targeted for early life 
open pit mining. Area 3 contains 52Mt of Indicated Resources 
and 153Mt of Inferred Resources.
As sufficient additional drilling and study work is completed 
to convert Resources into Reserves for inclusion in the mine 
plan, TIG will apply for a mining licence(s) covering the 
remainder of the Amaam coking coal deposit. 
A further significant milestone achieved in 2013, was the 
inclusion of NPPC’s proposal to construct a specialised 
15Mtpa coal terminal at Arinay Lagoon to service the Amaam 
project in the Russian Federal Government’s most recent 
Scheme of the Territorial Planning (STP) of the Russian 
Federation covering federal transport (railway, air, sea and 
inland water transport) and federal roads.
This is a key milestone for TIG and supports its plan to proceed 
to the detailed design and engineering phase of the Arinay 
coal terminal development as part of the Amaam BFS.
Environment and Community
During 2013, we continued to enhance the development 
of our HSEC Management System across the business. 
Significant progress was made on the implementation of our 
HSEC Management System Standards, which were developed 
in 2012. The Standards meet current industry best practice 
and are aligned with key international standards such as ISO 
14001 (Environmental Management) and OHSAS 18001 
(Occupational Health and Safety). The purpose of these 
Standards is to embed a structured and systematic approach 
to identifying and managing the organisation’s HSEC risks and 
opportunities, with a focus on continuous improvement. The 
ongoing focus on hazard identification, management of risks 
and Standards implementation at our projects resulted  
in the successful completion of exploration and baseline 
studies programs during the year.
A major achievement in 2013 was the development of our 
HSEC Performance Standards. These Standards specify specific 
management controls to be implemented for significant risks 
in the Health and Safety, Environment and Community areas.
As per the approach used for the Management System 
Standards, the Performance Standards were developed to 
meet industry best practice and align with key international 
guidelines. The Standards are progressively being implemented 
at our Project sites in Chukotka and incorporated in the Studies 
and Detailed Design process.
During the year, in conjunction with Golder Associates, 
significant progress was made on the development of the 
Project F Environmental and Social Impact Assessment 
(ESIA). The ESIA is designed to meet Russian requirements 
and International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance 
Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability. The 
key components of the Project F environmental and social 
baseline studies program were completed. The social baseline 
studies program involved an experienced Social Scientist from 
Golder Associates and our Community Liaison Officer visiting 
settlements nearest to the Project to gather baseline data 
through a series of interviews, focus groups and meetings. 
These meetings will be reflected in the final Stakeholder 
Engagement Report, which will form part of the Project’s  
ESIA Report. 
Regular engagement with government officials and 
communities continued during the year. A formal agreement 
on social investment was signed between TIG’s Russian 
subsidiary joint venture company, Beringpromugol and  
the Anadyr municipality.
In line with our commitment to assist and support regional 
development, training, community based projects and small 
business opportunities within our host communities, two 
programs were commenced in the year. The first program 
involved contracting local agricultural enterprises for the 
supply of food to our camps. The second program involved 
geology students from Anadyr University who worked with  
our mapping and sampling teams during the summer 
exploration season.

Principal activities 
The principal activity of the Group is the identification, exploration, and development of coal deposits in the Far East of the Russian 
Federation. 
4. 
Operating and financial review 
Operating Performance 
The Group is currently in the exploration and development stages of its two main coking coal projects in the Far East of the Russian 
Federation.  As a consequence the Group has no  operating income or  expenditure relating to coal production.  Expenditure on 
exploration and development activity is capitalised, and operating expenditure consists of administration, staff and corporate costs. 
The operating loss after income tax of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013 was $18.307 million (2012: loss of $18.410 
million).  As at 31 December 2013 the Group had a cash position of $3.749 million (2012: $8.528 million).  The Group had no 
bank debt.  Operating activities incurred cash outflows from operations for the year of $8.244 million (2012 $3.546 million).  There 
were cash outflows from investing activities of $17.853 million (2012 $18.145 million) for the year.   
The  Group’s  strong  performance  in  meeting  its  strategy  during  the  year  is  evidenced  by  the  completion  of  significant  project 
activities and milestones.   
The Amaam North Project F provides a low capex, low opex, path to the early production of coal. 
 
 
 
 
In July 2013 TIG announced an initial Resource for Amaam North of 26.8Mt; 
In September 2013 the Preliminary Feasibility Report (“PFS”) for Project F was completed, confirming the potential 
for a low capex, low opex, fully integrated operation producing over 1Mtpa of primarily coking coal; 
Project F involves using the existing Beringovsky Port and infrastructure 35km to the east; and 
The PFS indicates production would commence from H2 2015, with an initial mine life of 11 years. 
The Amaam Project continues to be a core asset of the Group: 
 
 
 
PFS released on 15 April 2013 confirmed Amaam as potentially an economically viable project; 
The Amaam Project is a long life project, with capacity for up to 6.5Mtpa of high quality coking coal product from a 
combination of open pit and underground mining over the 20 year life of mine; and 
The project involves the construction of a coal handling and preparation plant and associated infrastructure, and a coal 
terminal with loading facilities on the nearby Arinay Lagoon and an all-weather 25km rail line or road to connect them.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Operating and financial review (continued) 
Financial Position 
The Group’s financial position improved in 2013 with the successful completion of an equity raising for $21.200 million in March 
2013.  These funds enabled the Group to continue with the development and exploration activities.  The Group’s financial position 
has been improved subsequent to year end with the completion of a placement of equity on 28 March 2014 which raised $62.020 
million before costs.  Further details of this equity raising are contained in Section 6 of this Directors’ Report entitled “Subsequent 
Events”. 
The Group’s cash balance has declined by $4.779 million over the year to $3.749 million at year end.  During 2013 the Group invested 
significant funds in the completion of further drilling and technical studies at both the Amaam and Amaam North coal deposits.   
Fixed assets balances have increased by $2.459 million, with expenditure on assets (primarily reflecting the acquisition of camp assets 
and vehicles) partially offset by amortisation and depreciation.  The most significant increase in non-current assets is the increase in 
capitalised exploration, evaluation and development expenditure, which has increased by $17.464 million. 
The movements in the asset categories of mineral rights and goodwill relate to the impact of foreign exchange movements on these 
assets, which are non-cash movements.   
There has been a $7.664 million increase in the royalty agreement liability arising from the revaluation of that liability at year end.  
This is a non-cash movement. 
Equity has increased by a net amount of $20.851 million as a result of the equity raising during the year.  The Group has created an 
Other Reserve during the year which now stands at $18.582 million.  This reserve relates to the increase in the Group’s ownership 
interest in the Amaam Project during the year from 40% to 80%.   
Business Strategies and Group Objectives 
The Group is exploring and developing two well located large coking coal projects in the Far East of the Russian Federation: 
  Amaam:  a  world-class,  large  scale  coking  coal  project  targeted  for  up  to  6.5Mtpa  of  production  from  dedicated  new 
infrastructure; and 
  Amaam North: low cost starter project providing fast track to production and earnings utilising existing infrastructure and 
supporting development of the entire Amaam Coking Coal Field 
There is further exploration upside across both of these two major coking coal basins.  The business objectives for 2014 will be the 
completion of further drilling at Amaam and Amaam North to grow and update the Resource bases for these projects.  Priority has 
been given to the further development of Project F at Amaam North, with  
 
 
 
 
the completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”);  
completion of mine project design; 
progressing the application for a mining licence; and the  
commencement of development and construction of Project F, following completion of the BFS.  
Further details of the business objectives for 2014 are included in Section 7 of this Directors’ Report “Likely Developments”.

Significant Developments 
The  significant  developments  during  the  reporting  period  are  outlined  in  detail  in  Section  5  of  this  Directors’  Report  entitled 
“Significant Changes in the State of Affairs”. 
Significant Business Risks 
TIG’s annual budget and related exploration and development activities are subject to a range of assumptions and expectations all 
of which contain a level of risk.  TIG adopts a risk management framework in order to identify, analyse, treat and monitor the 
risks applicable to the Group.  The risks are reviewed at least bi-annually by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee and 
following each review are formally reported and discussed with the Board.  Risks are analysed and reported on using risk 
registers.   
Detailed below are risk areas that have been identified as at the date of the Directors’ Report which may affect TIG’s future 
operating and financial performance and the approach to managing them. 
Country Risk 
TIG’s projects are located in the Russian Federation.  Investing in emerging markets such as the Russian Federation involves 
greater risk than investing in more developed markets.  Operating in this jurisdiction may expose TIG to a range of significant 
country specific risks including general economic, regulatory, legal, social and political conditions.  These and other country 
specific risks may affect TIG’s ability wholly or in part to operate its business in the Russian Federation.   
Uncertainty in the Estimation of Mineral Resources 
Estimating the quantity and quality of Mineral Resources is an inherently uncertain process and the Minerals Resources stated 
and any Mineral Resources or Reserves TIG states in the future are and will be estimates, and may not prove to be an accurate 
indication of the quantity of coal that TIG has identified or that it will be able to extract.  At Amaam TIG does not have any 
Reserves under the JORC Code, and 85% of its Mineral Resources are in the Inferred Mineral Resources category, which is the 
lowest of three Resources categories under the JORC Code, reflecting limited sampling and a relatively low level of geological 
certainty.  At Project F at Amaam North, TIG does not have any Reserves, and 56% of its Resources are in the Inferred 
Resources category.  TIG reviews its resources on a regular basis, and is performing further drilling which provides further 
information on which to estimate the Mineral Resources at both Amaam and Amaam North.

Operating and financial review (continued) 
Significant Business Risks (continued) 
Project Assessment and Development Risk 
TIG is at the preliminary stage of determining the economic and technical viability of the projects, having only completed 
Preliminary Feasibility Studies (PFS) on the projects to date.  There is a risk that the more detailed studies may disprove 
assumptions or conclusions reached in the PFS, may reveal additional challenges or complexities and may indicate the cost 
estimates are incorrect.  In addition, TIG must proceed through a number of steps before making a final investment decision with 
respect to the projects, conducting definitive feasibility studies, converting Resources to Reserves, obtaining government 
approvals and permits and obtaining adequate financing.   
If TIG decides to proceed to production, the process of developing and constructing the project will be subject to many 
uncertainties, including the timing and cost of construction, the receipt of required government permits and the availability of 
financing for the projects.  There is a risk that unexpected challenges or delays will arise, or that coal quality and quantity results 
will differ from the estimates on which TIG’s cost estimates are based, increasing the costs of production and/or resulting in 
lower sales. 
Capital Management 
TIG’s projects are at pre-development stage and will require additional drilling, evaluation and feasibility study work prior to a 
development decision.  TIG has completed a PFS on both the Amaam project and the Amaam North project, and is in the process 
of completing a BFS on the Amaam North project.  Should TIG proceed to develop the projects it is likely that significant capital 
expenditure will be incurred.   
The ability of TIG to fund the ongoing working capital requirements of the Group beyond 2014 is uncertain.  A material 
uncertainty exists in regards to the ability of the Group to continue to operate as a going concern beyond 2014 and, therefore, 
whether it will be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated 
in the financial report.  There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to obtain or access additional funding when 
required, or that the terms associated with the funding will be acceptable to the Directors.  If the Group is unable to obtain such 
additional funding, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations, which could adversely affect its business, financial 
condition and operating results.  Further details on the going concern issue are included in Note 2(c) to the Financial Statements. 
Licenses, Permits and Titles 
TIG will require certain licenses, permits and approvals to develop the projects, including in relation to the proposed Arinay 
Lagoon port at Amaam to be constructed by TIG, and upgrade of the existing port at Beringovsky for initial shipments from 
Amaam North.  TIG has not yet obtained a majority of the required licenses, permits and approvals to construct and operate the 
projects.  There are also a number of conditions and regulatory requirements that TIG must satisfy with respect to its tenements 
to maintain its interests in those tenements in good standing, including meeting specified drilling and reporting commitments.  
There is a risk that TIG may fail to obtain or be delayed in obtaining the licences, permits and approval, or meet the conditions 
required to maintain its interests in the tenements.  Failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining such licenses, permits and approvals, 
and failure to meet the tenement licence commitments may adversely affect TIG’s ability to proceed with the projects. 
Operational Risks 
The projects may be subject to operational, technical or other difficulties, including those arising as a result of unforeseen events 
outside the control of the Company, and any or all of which may negatively impact the amount of coal produced, delay coal 
deliveries or increase the estimated cost of production, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and 
financial condition.  These risks include: 
  General Economic Risks:    TIG’s ability to obtain funding for the projects, financial performance and ability to 
execute its business strategy will be impacted by a variety of general global economic, political, social, stock markets 
and business conditions.  Deterioration in any of these conditions could have an adverse impact on TIG’s financial 
position and/or financial performance. 
 
  Coal Market and Demand:   TIG intends to earn future profits from the production and sale of coal and a decline in 
prices or lower demand for coal than expected by TIG may adversely impact the feasibility of the Company’s 
development and mine plans, and the economic viability of the projects. 
Exchange Rate Variations:   Significant decreases in the Australian / US Dollar and the Australian Dollar / Russian 
Rouble exchange rate will have a significant impact on TIG’s ability to fund the capital expenditure required to 
construct these projects. 
Product Quality:   TIG has conducted coal quality analysis on a number of drill cores recovered from Amaam and 
Project F at Amaam North, however TIG has yet to undertake any coke test work.  In the absence of coke test work, no 
guarantee can be given as to the type of coking coal that could ultimately be produced at Amaam and Amaam North.  If 
the quality of the Amaam coking coals is lower than currently anticipated, TIG’s prospects, value, project and financial 
condition may be materially adversely affected.

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On 22 February 2013 the Group concluded a placement of 106,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to raise gross proceeds 
of $21.200 million at a price of $0.20 per share. 
On 27 March 2013 the Group received notice that TIG’s Russian subsidiary company NPCC had been issued with a Mining 
Licence over an area within the Amaam tenement.  The Mining Licence was issued by Chukotnedra, the Chukotka Branch 
of the Federal Subsoil Agency (Rosnedra).  As a consequence of receiving this Mining Licence, TIG exercised its right to 
increase its ownership of Eastshore Coal Holding Limited from 40% to 60%, and consequently the Group’s ownership 
interest in NPCC, and the Amaam Coking Coal Project from 40% to 60%. 
On 3 April 2013 the Group announced the completion of a step in the Arinay Lagoon port permitting process for the Amaam 
project, with the port coal terminal proposal for the construction of a 15 million tonne per annum capacity terminal having 
been included in the Russian Federal Government’s Scheme of Territorial Planning.  TIG is now able to proceed with the 
detailed engineering and design of the coal terminal at the Arinay Lagoon as part of the Amaam Bankable Feasibility Study 
(“BFS”). 
On 15 April 2013 the Group announced the completion of Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) on the Amaam Coking 
Coal project, which confirms the strong project economics and highlights the potential for a large scale long life open pit 
mine with dedicated transport infrastructure. 
On 23 April 2013 the Group announced the successful completion of the initial drilling programme at Amaam North.  The 
drilling programme consisted of forty holes totalling 3,087 metres which confirmed the continuity of coal seams with a 
shallow  dip  over  a  strike  length of  3.1  kilometres,  and 600  metres  down-dip  from  the  sub-crop.  The  drilling  revealed 
cumulative coal seam thicknesses ranging from 2 metres to 11 metres, with approximate depth of cover from 5 metres to 
115 metres. 
On 4 July 2013 the Group announced the delineation of an initial JORC compliant coking coal Resource of 26.8 million 
tonnes, including Measured and Indicated Resources of 11.8 million tonnes for Project F at Amaam North.  This initial 
Resource at Project F represents a small part of the Amaam North tenement with thick, near surface, shallow dipping coking 
coal seams.   
On 18 July 2013 the Group paid US$0.450 million for the acquisition of 100% of Nagornaya Investments Limited, renamed 
as Anadyrsky Investments Limited (“Anadyrsky”), a Cyprus based entity.  Anadyrsky held an option agreement to purchase 
mining and infrastructure assets in the Chukotka Autonomous District in the Far East of the Russian Federation.   
Mr Craig Parry was appointed as Managing Director on 1 July 2013, and the role of the Chairman, Mr Antony Manini 
reverted to a non-executive role on 1 July 2013 also. 
On  2  September  2013  the  Group  announced  the  successful  completion  of  the  PFS  on  Project  F  at  the  Amaam  North 
tenement.  Project F is a low capital and operating cost, open pit coking coal mine, which has the potential to produce over 
1Mtpa of primarily coking coal product from a low strip ratio (5:1) open pit over an initial 11 year mine life.  The capital 
cost to initial production is estimated to be US$52 million. 
On 22 October 2013 the Company announced that the Groups’ ownership interest in Eastshore Coal Holding Limited had 
increased from 60% to 80% following successful re-negotiation of the terms of its agreement with Bering Coal Investments 
Ltd.  These negotiations removed the requirement for the completion of a BFS on the Amaam Project in order to achieve 
this increase in ownership.  This increases the Group’s ownership interest in NPCC and the Amaam Coking Coal Project 
from 60% to 80%.    
Dr Bruce Gray, was appointed as a Non-executive Director of the Company on 25 October 2013.  Mr Andrew Gray was 
nominated as Dr Bruce Gray’s Alternate Director on that date. 
On 12 December 2013 the Company announced details of an equity raising of $62 million in the form of fully paid ordinary 
shares at a price of $0.165 per share.  The equity raising was not completed by 31 December 2013.  
6. 
Events subsequent to reporting date 
On 16 January 2014 the short term unsecured interest loan facility of $0.500 million with a Director, Mr A Manini was cancelled.  
The loan facility was not utilised by the Group.  On 16 January 2014 the short term unsecured interest loan facility of $0.500 
million with a Director, Mr O Hegarty was cancelled.  The loan facility was not utilised by the Group. 
On 14 February 2014 the short term unsecured loan facility with Tigers Realm Minerals Pty Limited was increased by $0.500 
million to $2.500 million. 
On 3 March 2014 the Company issued 23,484,848 fully paid ordinary shares at a share price of $0.165 to raise gross proceeds of 
$3.875 million as part of the placement of shares to existing and new shareholders under the proposed capital raising to be held 
on 21 March 2014.  These funds are to be applied essentially to continue to the drilling at Amaam and Amaam North. 
On 20 March 2014 the Company announced the results of its winter drilling season.  At Amaam over 6,000 metres of a planned 
9,000 metre drilling campaign was completed.  This drilling identified new coal seams over a strike length of 2.2 km with a 
cumulative coal thickness averaging 8.3 metres.  At Amaam North 6,000 metres of drilling was completed which increased the 
strike length of the Project F coal seam by 8.6 km.  The drilling also discovered further coal seams to the north of Project F, and 
also to the east of Project F.

Events subsequent to reporting date (continued) 
On 21 March 2014 the Company held an extraordinary general meeting to obtain shareholder agreement to the completion of the 
equity raising of $62.020 million in the form of fully paid ordinary shares at a price of $0.165 per share.  The $0.165 share price 
represents  a  5.8%  discount  to  the  five  day  volume  weighted  average  trade  price  of  TIG’s  shares  prior  to  the  trading  halt 
announcement date on 5th December 2013.  The equity raising consisted of the following elements. 
 
 
 
 
A placement of 219,263,985 fully paid ordinary shares to raise gross proceeds of $36.179 million to Baring Vostok Private 
Equity Fund V, through BV Mining Holding Limited (BVMHL);  
A placement of 99,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to raise gross proceeds of $16.335 million to the Russian Direct 
Investment Fund (RDIF); 
A placement of 47,612,290 fully paid ordinary shares to raise gross proceeds up to $7.856 million to existing and new 
shareholders.  Of this placement amount, 23,484,848 shares were issued on 3 March 2014 raising gross proceeds of $3.785 
million. 
A Share Purchase Plan to existing shareholders for 10,000,000 shares to raise gross proceeds of up to $1.650 million.  
The  proceeds  will be  applied  towards  funding  the  BFS  at Project  F  (located  at  Amaam  North),  further  drilling  at  Amaam  and 
Amaam North and the commencement of development and construction of Project F following completion of the BFS.  The funds 
will also be applied to compliance and corporate costs associated with the projects and the costs of the offer.  
As at the date of this report the Company has received $56.632 million of the proceeds of equity raising. 
At the Extraordinary General Meeting on 21 March 2014, shareholders approved the acquisition by Dr Bruce Gray, a Director, of 
a relevant interest in the 55,730,814 shares held by TRM under an Option Deed between Hanate Pty Ltd, a company controlled by

Consequence of performance on shareholder wealth 
The Directors are committed to developing and maintaining a remuneration policy and practices that are targeted at the achievement 
of corporate values and goals and the maximisation of shareholder value. 
When determining compensation for KMP the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board have regard to financial 
funding,  resource  development,  project  advancement  and  development,  and  other  objectives,  based  on  goals  set  by  the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board throughout the year.  In addition, the Board has regard to the following

(e) 
Remuneration policy and structure for senior executives 
The objective of the Group’s executive remuneration policy is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for 
the results delivered.  The structure aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of wealth for 
shareholders, and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward.  The executive remuneration structure is market competitive 
and complementary to the reward strategy for the Group.  The structure provides a mix of fixed and variable remuneration, and for 
the variable or “at-risk” remuneration, a blend of short-term and long-term incentives.   As executives gain seniority within the 
Group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of “at-risk” rewards. 
The Company’s remuneration policy and structure for its senior executives comprises three main components: 
 
 
 
Fixed Remuneration, which is the total base salary and includes employer superannuation contributions.  The fixed 
remuneration reflects the job level, role, responsibilities, knowledge, experience and accountabilities of the individual 
executive and is set at a level which is competitive, aligned with the business needs and based on current market 
conditions in the mining industry and countries in which the Company does business.   
Compensation levels are reviewed each year by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to take into account cost-
of-living changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes required to 
meet the principles of the remuneration policy.  The review process considers individual and overall performance of the 
Group.    
Short Term Incentive (“STI”), which is at-risk remuneration.  This is an annual incentive award based on the achievement 
of pre-determined Company and individual objectives.  These short-term incentives are available to executives and other 
eligible participants.  The STI is an at-risk bonus provided in the form of cash, which is payable in February each year.  
Long Term Incentive (‘LTI’) Program, which is at-risk remuneration.  Under the LTI Program employees, at the discretion 
of the Board, are offered options over ordinary shares in the Company under the Company’s Option Plan.   
For KMP other than the CEO, the target remuneration mix in the current year is 50% fixed, and 50% at risk (15% STI and 35% 
LTI).  For the CEO the LTI element of remuneration was determined at the time of initial appointment.

Remuneration report – audited (continued) 
(e)  Remuneration policy and structure for senior executives (continued) 
For the STI element of remuneration a performance framework has been developed for KMP and other senior executives under the 
STI programme.  Key Performance Indicators (“KPI”) are developed for each individual, which are reassessed regularly to ensure 
they remain current and applicable as the Group’s operations develop. 
Individual performance against these KPIs is assessed annually by the individual’s manager or the Managing Director, and is subject 
to Board discretion.  The performance framework develops individual KPIs in the following proportions: 
 
 
30% Group related KPIs, (these are specific to Health, Safety & Environmental, Project, and Corporate objectives); and 
70% Individual KPIs tailored to the role and objectives of each senior executive. 
For the LTI element of remuneration, options granted under the Company’s Option Plan, and any project completion bonuses are 
granted at the Company’s discretion, and are approved by the Board in advance.  The number of options an executive is offered is 
a function of their level in the Group.  Further details of the Option Plan are included in note 26.  The Company may make initial 
grants of options to certain senior executives as part of their individual employment contracts.  It is a vesting condition that the 
holder of options remains an employee or director at the time of vesting. 
Other than the provisions relating to vesting of LTI grants in certain circumstances, the employment contracts contain no termination 
benefits other than payments in lieu of notice and redundancy payments.  The notice periods and redundancy payments vary for the 
individuals and depending upon the period of service.   
The remuneration and other terms of employment for key management personnel are formalised in their employment contracts. 
(f) 
Employment contracts 
The Group has entered into employment contracts with each senior executive which are open ended contracts with no expiry date.  
These contracts are capable of termination on three months’ notice.  The Group retains the right to terminate a contract immediately 
by making a payment equal to three months’ pay in lieu of notice.  No notice is required for termination due to serious misconduct.  
The senior executives are also entitled to receive on termination of employment their statutory entitlements of accrued annual and 
long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits.  Employees whose services are provided on secondment from TRM, 
may be terminated on one month’s notice. 
The  employment  contracts  provide  for  the  payment  of  performance-related  cash  bonuses  under  the  STI  programme  and 
participation, where eligible, in the Company Option Plan under the LTI Program.  The maximum cash bonus payable under the 
STI programme is up to 45% of total remuneration for senior executives, and up to 75% of base salary for the CEO.   
The employment contract outlines the components of compensation but does not prescribe how compensation levels are modified 
year to year.  The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews compensation levels each year to take into account market-
related factors such as cost-of-living changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes 
required to meet the principles of the compensation policy. 
(g)  Remuneration of Executive and Non-executive Directors 
On appointment to the Board, all Executive and Non-executive Directors enter into service agreements with the Company in the 
form of a Letter of Appointment.  The letter summarises the Board Policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office 
of Director.  The employment contracts with Directors have no fixed term.   
Executive and Non-executive Director remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board.  Non-executive Directors receive a base 
fee for being a Director and may receive additional fees for either chairing or being a member of a Board committee, working on 
special committees, and / or serving on special committees and / or special boards.  Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined 
within  an  aggregate  Directors’  fee  pool  limit,  which  has  been  established  at  $1,500,000.   Executive  Director  remuneration  is 
formalised in a contract in the same manner as senior executives, (refer section 11(f) above).  
Non-executive Directors receive a fixed fee consisting of a base fee plus 9.25 per cent superannuation contributions.  No 
retirement or other long term benefits are provided to any Director other than superannuation to those Directors who are also 
employees resident in Australia at the rate of 9.25 per cent.  The Non-executive Directors can claim reimbursement of out-of-
pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.   The base fee for Directors is presently $75,000 per annum, with the 
Chairman receiving $109,450 per annum.  No remuneration paid to Non-executive Directors during the financial year was results 
based.

Bonuses in respect of FY13 were not finalised or paid by the date of this report.  The bonus pool has been approved by the Directors 
for  the  KMP’s  disclosed  in  this  Remuneration Report.    The  performance  review  process  for  KMPs  has  been  performed,  however 
individual bonus pool allocations to the KMPs have yet to be ratified.   As a consequence no STI figures have been included in the 
Remuneration Report for KMP.  The Group has a Provision for Annual Bonus at 31 December 2013 of $914,000 (refer note 21). 
As disclosed in Note 2(f) the Group changed its accounting policy in respect of employee benefits with adoption of the revisions to 
AASB 119 Employee Benefits.  One of the impacts of this change is that annual leave has changed from a short-term employee benefit 
to an other long-term employee benefit.  Consistent with that change, annual leave is now classified as other long term benefits in the 
remuneration table in both current and prior periods. 
In  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Accounting  Standards,  remuneration  includes  a  proportion  of  the  fair  value  of  equity 
compensation granted or outstanding during the year (i.e. options granted under LTIP that remained unvested as at 31 December 2013). 
The fair value of equity instruments is determined at the grant date and is progressively allocated over the vesting period. The amount 
included as remuneration is not necessarily related to or indicative of the benefit (if any) that senior executives may ultimately realise 
should the equity instruments vest.  The fair value of the options at the date of their grant has been determined in accordance with 
AASB 2 Share-based Payments.  All option granted under the LTIP are equity settled. 
Ceased role as Executive Chairman from 1 July 2013. 
Mr  Wiggill’s  short-term  cash,  salary  and  fees  remuneration  includes  the  payments  for  services  under  a  12  month  Consultancy 
Agreement  with  Mr  Wiggill’s  nominated consultancy  company,  with  an  impact  of  the  GBP50,000.    This Consultancy  Agreement 
expired in December 2013 and was not renewed. 
Appointed as Managing Director from 1 July 2013. 
Appointed October 2013.  Mr Gray elected to receive compensation of $30,000 per annum.

Paid in February 2013 in respect of FY12 
In  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Accounting  Standards,  remuneration  includes  a  proportion  of  the  fair  value  of  equity 
compensation granted or outstanding during the year (i.e. options granted under LTIP that remained unvested as at 31 December 2012). 
The fair value of equity instruments is determined as at the grant date and is progressively allocated over the vesting period. The amount 
included as remuneration is not necessarily related to or indicative of the benefit (if any) that senior executives may ultimately realise 
should the equity instruments vest.  The fair value of the options at the date of their grant has been determined in accordance  with 
AASB 2 Share-based Payments. 
Appointed as Executive Chairman from 12 November 2012. 
Appointed 20 November 2012.

Note 1  Bonuses in respect of FY13 were not finalised or paid by the date of this report.  The maximum amount of the bonus pool has been 
approved by the Directors for the KMP’s disclosed in this Remuneration Report.  The performance review process for KMPs has been 
performed, however individual bonus pool allocations to the KMPs have yet to be ratified.  The Group has a Provision for Annual Bonus 
at 31 December 2013 of $914,000 (refer note 21).  As a consequence no STI figures have been included in the Remuneration Report for 
KMP. 
Note 2  Since the LTI is provided exclusively by way of options, the percentages disclosed also reflect the value of remuneration consisting of 
options, based on the value of options expensed during the year. 
The Options Scheme prohibits executives from entering into arrangements to protect the value of unvested LTI Plan awards.  The 
prohibition includes entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options awarded as part of their remuneration package.

the achievement of personal goals and the satisfaction of specified performance criteria.  No amounts vest in future 
financial years in respect of the STI bonus scheme for the 2013 financial year.

Directors’ report (continued) 
For the year ended 31 December 2013 
13. 
Corporate Governance Statement  
The Board of Directors are responsible for the corporate governance of the Company.  The Board guides and monitors the business 
affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.  The company 
has adopted systems of control and accountability as the basis for administration of corporate governance.  The Board is committed 
to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the highest standards of corporate governance 
commensurate with the Company’s needs.  To the extent that they are  appropriate and applicable the Company has adopted the 
Principles of Good Corporate Governance Recommendations as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.  As the 
Company’s  activities  develop  in  size,  nature  and  scope,  the  Board  will  consider  on  an  ongoing  basis  its  corporate  governance 
structures and whether they are sufficient given the Company’s size and nature of operations. 
The Company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the Group in this statement.   
A description of the Group’s corporate governance practices are set out below.  These corporate governance practices have been in 
place since the Company was listed on the ASX on 29 August 2011.  Copies of the corporate governance documents mentioned in 
this statement are available on the Company’s website. 
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 
Role of the Board 
The  Board’s  primary  role  is  the  protection  and  enhancement  of  long-term  shareholder  value.    To  fulfil  this  role,  the  Board  is 
responsible for the overall corporate governance of the  Group.  The Board exercises its powers  and performs its obligations in 
accordance with the provisions of the Company’s constitution and the Corporations Act 2001.   
The Board is responsible for: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
charting the direction, policies, strategies and financial objectives of the Company and ensuring appropriate resources are 
available; 
monitoring the implementation of these policies and strategies and the achievement of financial objectives; 
monitoring compliance with control and accountability systems, regulatory requirements and ethical standards; 
ensuring the preparation of accurate financial reports and statements; 
reporting to shareholders and the investment community on the performance and state of the Company; and 
reviewing on a regular and continuing basis: 
o 
o 
executive succession planning (in particular the CEO); and 
executive development activities. 
Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are formally 
delegated by the Board to the CEO and senior executives as set out in the Group’s Delegation Policy, which is available on the 
Company’s website.  These delegations of authority are reviewed on a regular basis. 
Board committees 
The Board has established two committees to assist in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed consideration of complex 
issues.  Current committees of the Board are the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Audit, Risk and Compliance 
Committee.  The committee structure and membership is reviewed regularly.   
Each committee has its own written charter setting out its role and responsibilities, composition, structure, and meeting requirements.  
These charters are subject to regular review and are available on the Company website.  All matters determined by committees are 
submitted to the full Board as recommendations for Board decisions. 
Minutes of committee meetings are tabled at subsequent board meetings.  Additional requirements for specific reporting by the 
committees to the Board are addressed in the charter of the individual committee. 
Management Performance Evaluation 
The  Board,  in  conjunction  with  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee,  is  responsible  for  approving  the  performance 
objectives and measures for the CEO and other senior executives and providing input into the evaluation of performance against 
them.   A performance evaluation process for senior executives and management has been established.  In accordance with that 
process a performance evaluation of senior executives and management has been completed for the 2013 financial year.

Directors’ report (continued) 
For the year ended 31 December 2013 
13. 
Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 
Principle 2: Structure of the Board 
Composition of the Board 
The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this report, specifying which are independent, are set out in the 
Directors’ report.  At the date of this report the Board consists of one independent Non-executive Director, three Non-executive 
Directors, one Non-executive Chairman and the Managing Director.  The composition of the Board is determined in accordance 
with the following principles outlined in the Board Charter: 
 
 
 
a minimum of three Directors;  
the intention that as the Group develops the majority of Directors will be independent; and 
the Board is required to undertake an annual performance evaluation and consider the appropriate mix of skills required by 
the Board to maximise its effectiveness and its contribution to the Group. 
The Board considers the mix of skills and diversity of Board members when assessing the composition of the Board.   
At the date of this report the Board does not meet the Good Corporate Governance Recommendations (“Recommendations”) in that 
the majority of Directors should be independent, and that the Chairman should be independent.  Given the developmental nature of 
the Company and the experience of the Directors, the Board considers the composition of the Board, and the non-independent status 
of the Chairman to be appropriate at this time, and is taking steps to increase the number of independent Directors on the Board. 
Director Independence 
The Board has adopted specific principles in relation to Directors’ independence.  These state that when determining independence, 
a Director must be a non-executive and the Board should consider whether the Director: 
 
 
 
 
 
is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder 
of the Company; 
is or has been employed in an executive capacity by the Company of any other Group member, within three years before 
commencing to serve on the Board; 
within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or 
any other Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; 
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or any other Group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated 
directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; 
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or other Group member other than a Director of the Company. 
Family ties and cross-directorships may be relevant in considering interests and relationships which may compromise independence, 
and should be disclosed by Directors to the Board. 
The Board regularly reviews the independence of each Director in light of interests disclosed and will disclose any change to the 
ASX, as required by the ASX Listing Rules. 
Independent Professional Advice 
All Directors may obtain independent professional advice, at the Company’s cost, in carrying out their duties and responsibilities.  
Prior approval from the Chairman or the Board is required before seeking independent professional advice. 
Chairman 
The Board elects one of the Non-executive Directors to be Chairman.  The Chairman is responsible for leading the Board, ensuring 
Directors are properly briefed in all matters relevant to their role and responsibilities, facilitating Board discussions and managing 
the  Board’s  relationship  with  the  Company’s  senior  executives.    The  Recommendations  note  that  the  Chairman  should  be  an 
independent Director.  However this recommendation is currently not satisfied.  The current Chairman is Mr Antony Manini, who 
has been Chairman since 8 October 2010.  For the period from 12 November 2012 until 1 July 2013 the role of Chairman was an 
Executive role.  On 1 July 2013 the role of the Chairman  reverted to being  a Non-executive role.  The role of the  Chairman is 
separate from that of the Chief Executive Officer.  The CEO is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 
Orientation Program 
The orientation program provided to new Directors and senior executives enables them to actively participate in Board decision 
making as soon as possible.  It ensures that they have a full understanding of the Group’s financial position, strategies operations, 
culture, values and risk management policies.  Directors have the opportunity to visit the Group’s business operations and meet with 
management to gain a better understanding of the Group’s operations.  The Group also supports Directors to undertake continuing 
education relevant to the discharge of their obligations as Directors of the Group. 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee 
The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  consists  of  two  Non-executive  Directors,  one  of  whom  is  independent,  and  the 
Chairman.  The Committee has a documented charter, approved by the Board which is available on the Company’s website.  Details 
of the qualifications of members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and their attendance at meetings of the Committee 
are set out in the Directors’ Report.  The Chairman of the Committee is Mr Brian Jamieson, an independent Non-executive Director. 
The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  operates  in  accordance  with  its  charter,  and  the  main  responsibilities  of  the 
nomination activities of the Committee are to: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
review and make recommendations to the Board relating to the remuneration of the Directors and the CEO; 
assess the necessary and desirable competencies of Board members; 
review Board succession planning; 
make recommendations to the Board regarding the appointment and re-election of Directors and the CEO; 
oversee succession planning, selection and appointment practices for management and employees of the Group; 
develop a process for the evaluation of the performance of the Board, its committees and Directors; and  
consider strategies to address Board diversity and the Company’s performance in respect of the Company’s Diversity Policy. 
The Committee is also responsible for considering and articulating the time needed to fulfil the role of Chairman and Non-executive 
Directors.   
A performance evaluation of the Board, its committees and the Directors commenced during 2013.   
Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision making 
Code of Conduct 
The Company has developed a Code of Conduct which has been endorsed by the Board and applies to all Directors, employees and 
contractors.  The Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards  of 
behaviour, professionalism and business ethics necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity. 
In  summary  the  Code  of  Conduct  requires  that  at  all  times  all  Group  personnel  act  with  utmost  integrity,  objectivity  and  in 
compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and Group policies. 
Whistleblowers Policy 
The Company’s Whistleblowers Policy encourages employees and contractors to report concerns in relation to illegal, unethical or 
improper conduct without fear of reprisal if it is reported in good faith.  The Company commits to absolute confidentiality and 
fairness in all matters raised. 
Securities Trading 
Directors and employees are allowed to purchase and sell shares in the Group provided they comply  with the provisions of the 
Group’s Securities Trading Policy.  The trading policy prohibits Directors and employees and their associates from trading in Group 
securities when they are in possession of price sensitive information which is not publicly available or during “blackout” periods. 
Directors and restricted employees must seek prior written approval before undertaking any trading in Company securities.  The 
Directors and employees must also advise the Company Secretary if they intend to enter into, or have entered into, a margin lending 
or  other  security  arrangement  affecting  Company  securities.    The  Company  Secretary  will  advise  the  ASX  of  any  transactions 
conducted by Directors in relation to the Company securities.  A register of interests is maintained which record security holdings 
in the Company by Directors and employees.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 
Workplace Diversity 
The Board is committed to having an appropriate blend of diversity on the Board, and in the Group’s senior executive positions.  
The  Group values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the Group’s ability to achieve its goals.   The Group has 
adopted  a  diversity  policy  which  outlines  the  Group’s  diversity  objectives  in  relation  to  gender,  age,  cultural  background  and 
ethnicity.  The Group has not established specific measurable gender and diversity objectives due to the start up nature of its situation 
in the exploration and development of coking coal projects; however the Group remains committed to recruiting the best candidates 
for  roles  at  all  levels  within  the  Group  at  every  operation.    As  at  31  December  2013,  women  comprised  24%  (2012:  24%)  of 
employees throughout the Group, and occupied one senior management position.  There are currently no female members of the 
Board. 
Copies of the Code of Conduct, the Whistleblowers Policy, the Diversity Policy and the Securities Trading Policy are available on 
the Company’s website. 
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting 
Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee 
The  Audit,  Risk  and  Compliance  Committee  consists  of  two  Non-executive  Directors,  of  whom  one  is  independent,  and  the 
Chairman.    The  Chairman  of  the  Committee  is  an  independent  Non-executive  Director,  and  is  not  Chair  of  the  Board.   The 
membership of the Committee does not fully meet the Good Corporate Governance Recommendations (“Recommendations”) in 
that the Committee does not consist of a majority of independent Directors.  Given the size of the Group and the Board, and the 
start up nature and straight forward structure of the Group, the Directors consider that the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee 
is of sufficient size, independence and technical expertise to discharge its mandate effectively. 
All members of the Committee are financially literate and have an appropriate understanding of the mining industry.  The Chairman, 
Mr Brian Jamieson has relevant qualification and experience by virtue of being a Chartered Accountant, a former partner of a major 
accounting firm, and being a director on other ASX listed companies.  
The  Audit,  Risk  and  Compliance  Committee  has  a  documented  charter,  approved by  the  Board.   All  members  should  be  Non-
executive Directors, and the Chairman should be independent.  Details of the qualifications of members of the Audit, Risk and 
Compliance  Committee  and  their  attendance  at  meetings  of  the  Committee  are  set  out  in  the  Directors’  report.    The  Charter  is 
available on the Company website and includes requirements for the Committee to consider the selection and appointment of the 
external auditor, and for the rotation of external audit engagement partners. 
The main responsibilities of the Committee are to: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
review, assess and make recommendations to the Board on annual and half-year financial reports and all other financial 
information released to the market; 
assist the Board in reviewing the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control environment covering; 
o 
o 
o 
oversee the effective operation of the risk management framework; 
effectiveness and efficiency of operations;  
reliability of financial reporting; and 
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 
recommend to the Board the appointment, removal and remuneration of the external auditors, and review the terms of their 
engagement, the scope and quality of the audit and assess the performance of the auditor; 
consider the independence and competence of the external auditor on an ongoing basis; and  
review and approve the level of non-audit services provided by the external auditors and ensure that they do not adversely 
impact on auditor independence.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 
In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee: 
 
 
 
 
 
receives regular reports from management and the external auditor; 
meets with the external auditor at least twice a year without management being present, or more frequently if necessary; 
reviews the processes in place to support the CEO and CFO certification to the Board; 
reviews  any  significant  disagreements  between  the  auditors  and  management,  irrespective  of  whether  any  have  been 
resolved; and  
provides the external auditors with a clear line of direct communication at any point in time to either the Chair of the Audit, 
Risk and Compliance Committee or the Chairman of the Board. 
The Committee has authority, within the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any information it requires from any employee  or 
external party. 
CEO and CFO certification 
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have declared in writing to the Board in accordance with Section 295 
of the Corporations Act 2001 that the financial records of the Company for the financial year have been properly maintained, and 
that the Company’s financial reports for the financial year ended 31 December 2013 comply with accounting standards and present 
a true and fair view of the Company’s financial condition and operational results.  The statement is required annually. 
The Board has received and is satisfied with certification provided by the CEO and CFO that the Group’s risk management and 
internal control systems are sound and operated effectively in all material aspects in relation to financial reporting risks for the 
financial year ended 31 December 2013. 
External auditor 
The role of the external auditor is to provide an independent opinion that the financial reports are true and fair and comply with 
applicable accounting standards. 
The Company and the Committee policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence.  KPMG 
has  provided  an  independence  declaration  to  the  Board  for  the  financial  year  ended  31  December  2013.    The  Committee  has 
considered the nature of the non–audit and assurance related services provided by the external auditor during the year and determined 
that the services provided, and the amount paid for those services, are compatible with the general standard of independence for 
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.  The Committee has examined detailed material provided by the external auditor 
and by management and has satisfied itself that the standards of auditor independence and associated issues have been fully complied 
with. 
The roles of lead partner and audit review partner are rotated every five years. 
The external auditor will attend the annual general meeting and will be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct 
of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report. 
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure 
The Company has established written policies and procedures on information disclosure that focus 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.  All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. 
The  Company  Secretary  is  responsible  for  communications  with  the  ASX  and  compliance  with  the  continuous  disclosure 
requirements in the ASX Listing Rules.  The Company also has in place a policy to monitor media sources.  This role also oversees 
and coordinates information disclosure to shareholders, media and to the general public. 
The Company’s continuous disclosure policy is available on the Company’s website.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued) 
Principle 6: Shareholder communications 
The Company places a high priority on communications with shareholders and aims to provide all shareholders with comprehensive, 
timely and equal access to balanced information about Group activities so that they can make informed investment decisions and 
provide undivided support to the Group.  Principal communications to investors are through the provision of the annual report, 
financial statements, and market announcements. 
The Company website enables users to provide feedback and has an option for shareholders to register their email address for direct 
email updates on Group matters. 
The Company’s communications policy is available on the Company’s website. 
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 
The Board is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented a sound system for risk management 
and internal control.  The Board regards managing the risks that affect the Group’s businesses as a fundamental activity, as  they 
influence the Group’s performance, reputation and success.  Detailed work on the management of risk is delegated to the Audit, 
Risk and Compliance Committee and reviewed by the Board.  The Committee recommends any actions it deems necessary to the 
Board for its consideration. 
The Committee is responsible for ensuring that there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal 
control systems.  The Committee monitors the Company’s risk management by overseeing management’s actions in the evaluation, 
management,  monitoring  and  reporting  of  material  operational,  financial,  compliance  and  strategic  risks.   The  Board  and  the 
Committee receive regular reports from management on the effectiveness of the Group’s management of material business risks.  
The Company has adopted a Risk Management Policy which is available on the Company’s website. 
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee operates in accordance with its charter which is available on the Company website.  
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee advises the Board on remuneration and incentive policies and practices generally, 
and  makes  specific  recommendations  on  remuneration  packages  and  other  terms  of  employment  for  executive  Directors,  other 
senior executives and Non-executive Directors.   
The Nomination and  Remuneration Committee is chaired by an  independent  Director and has three members as recommended, 
however the Committee does not consist of a majority of independent Directors.  Given the size of the Group and the Board, and 
the start-up nature and straightforward structure of the Group, the Directors consider the impact of this to be minimal, and the current 
structure to be sufficient. 
The structure of the remuneration of Non-executive Directors is distinguished from that of executive Directors and senior executives, 
however,  Board  members  are  entitled  to  options  as  set  out  in  this  Annual  Report  having  regard  to  the  size  of  the  Company’s 
management team and the minimal fees paid. 
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee also assumes responsibility for overseeing succession planning. 
Further information on Directors’ and executives’ remuneration, including principles used to determine remuneration, is set out in 
the Remuneration Report which forms a part of the Directors’ report.  Details of the qualifications of members of the Nomination 
and Remuneration Committee and their attendance at meetings of the Committee are set out in the Directors’ report. 
This marks the end of the Corporate Governance Statement.

Indemnification and insurance of Officers  
The Company provides insurance to cover legal liability and expenses for the Directors and Executive Officers of the Company.  
The Directors and Officers Liability Insurance provides cover against all costs and expenses that may be incurred in defending civil 
or criminal proceedings that fall within the scope of the indemnity and that may be brought against the Officers in their capacity as 
Officers.  Disclosure of the nature of the liability cover and the amount of the premium is subject to a confidentiality clause under 
the insurance policy. 
The Company has entered into an agreement with the Directors and certain Officers to indemnify  these individuals against any 
claims and related expenses, which arise as a result of their work in their respective capacities. 
The Company has not provided any insurance or indemnity for the auditor of the Company. 
15. 
Environmental Regulation and Performance  
The Group operations are subject to significant environmental regulation in respect of its exploration activities.  There have been 
no reports of breaches of environmental regulations during the financial year to 31 December 2013, or to the date of this report. 
16. 
Audit and non-audit services  
The Company may decide to employ the auditor on assignments additional to their statutory audit duties where the auditor’s 
expertise and experience with the Company are important.  Details of the amounts paid or payable to KPMG, the Group’s auditor 
for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out below. 
The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the Audit, Risk and 
Compliance Committee, is satisfied that the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of 
independence imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.  The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the 
auditor, as set out in note 38, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the 
following reasons: 
  all non-audit services have been reviewed by the Board to ensure they do not impact the impartiality and objectivity of the 
auditor; and 
  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 ‘Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants’.  
Details of the amounts paid to the auditor, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the 
year are set out below.

Tigers Realm Coal Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
For the year ended 31 December 2013 
1. 
Reporting entity 
Tigers  Realm  Coal  Limited  (the  “Company”  or  “TIG”)  is  a  company  domiciled  in  Australia.  The  address  of  the  Company’s 
registered office is Level 7, 333 Collins St, Melbourne, 3000.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for 
the year ended 31 December 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).  The Group is 
a for-profit entity and primarily is involved in coal exploration and mining development. 
2. 
(a) 
Basis of preparation  
Statement of compliance 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements  which  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with 
Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations 
Act 2001.  The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).   
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 March 2014. 
(b) 
Basis of measurement 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  historical  cost  basis  except  for  certain  financial  assets  and 
liabilities which are carried at fair value and share based payment expenses which are recognised at fair value.  Cost is based on 
the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. 
(c) 
Going concern basis of accounting 
The  consolidated  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis,  which  assumes  continuity  of  normal  business 
activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. 
For the year ended 31 December 2013 the Group had a net loss of $18.307 million (2012 loss of $18.410 million) and had net 
equity of $126.315 million (2012: $106.652 million).  As at 31 December 2013 the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $3.749 
million (2012: $8.528 million).  The Group had current assets of $9.807 million (2012 $11.439 million) and current liabilities of 
$4.971 million (2011: $1.905 million).   
During the year ended 31 December 2013 the cash outflow from operations was $8.244 million (2012: outflows of $3.546 million).  
There were cash outflows from investing activities of $17.853 million for the year (2012: outflows of $18.145 million). 
During or since the end of the 2013 financial year the Company completed the following fund raising activities to meet its working 
capital, exploration and operating activity requirements. 
On  17 March  2013  the  Company  concluded  a  two  tranche placement  of  106,000,000  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  to  raise  gross 
proceeds of approximately $21.200 million at a price of $0.20 per share.  The placement price represented a 7.3% discount to the 
volume weighted average price over the five days trading up to and including 19 February 2013.  The placement was organised in 
two tranches, with the initial tranche of $12.546 million being fully completed, with 62,733,452 shares issued on 1 March 2013.  
The second tranche of $8.653 million for 43,266,548 shares was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 23 
April 2013.  As part of the placement the Directors subscribed for 1,500,000 shares.   
In December 2013 the Company announced  a fund raising of $62.020 million through the issue of 375,876,275 new shares at 
$0.165  per  share.    The  terms  of  the  fund  raising  were  amended  in  January  2014  and  was  subject  to  shareholder  approval  and 
satisfaction of other conditions completed in March 2014.  Shareholder approval was received at an Extraordinary General Meeting 
held on 21 March 2014. 
The fund raising completed in March 2014 was made up of the following components: 
 
 
 
 
a  $36.179  million  placement  to  Baring  Vostok  Fund  V,  through  BV  Mining  Holding  Limited,  with  the  issue  of 
219,263,985 shares; 
a $16.335 million placement to the Russian Direct Investment Fund with the issue of 99,000,000 shares; 
a $7.856 million placement to new and existing sophisticated and institutional shareholders with the issue of 47,612,290 
shares; and 
up to $1.650 million through a Share Purchase Plan for existing shareholders for the issue of 10,000,000 shares. 
The funds raised in March 2014 will be applied towards funding the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) at Project F at Amaam 
North, further drilling at both Amaam and Amaam North, and the commencement of development and construction of Project F 
following completion of the BFS.  Part of the funds will be applied to compliance and corporate costs associated with these projects, 
and the costs of the equity raising.

Tigers Realm Coal Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued) 
For the year ended 31 December 2013 
2.  
(c) 
Basis of preparation (continued)  
Going concern basis of accounting (continued) 
The Directors are satisfied with the Group’s current financing position and are of the view that the continued application of the 
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate due to the following factors:  
 
 
 
 
Management  has  reviewed  the  Group’s  consolidated  cashflow  requirements  and  has  satisfied  themselves  that  there  is 
adequate support in place to meet the planned corporate activities and working capital requirements for at least 12 months 
following the date of this report; 
In the event that exploration and operating activities exceed the planned cashflow forecasts, or continue beyond 12 months 
following the date of this report, the Group has the ability to raise additional funds, pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001; 
The ability of the Group to scale back certain parts of their exploration activities if required; and 
The Group retains the ability, if required, to wholly or in part dispose of interests in mineral exploration and development 
assets. 
The Directors believe that current cash on hand plus the proceeds from the capital raising completed subsequent to year end will 
be sufficient to: 
 
 
 
 
Fund general working capital requirements and corporate expenses through to at least 31 March 2015; 
Fund the completion of the Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) for Project F at Amaam North;  
Commence development and construction work at Project F following completion of the Project F BFS; and 
Complete further drilling and technical studies at its Amaam Project and at its Amaam North Project. 
The  ability  of  the  Group  to  fund  the  ongoing  working  capital  requirements  of  the  Group  beyond 31 March  2015  is uncertain.  
Accordingly a material uncertainty exists in regards to the ability of the Group to continue to operate as a going concern beyond 
31 March 2015 and, therefore, whether it will be able to realise its assets  and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of 
business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.  There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to obtain or access 
additional funding when required, or that the terms associated with the funding will be acceptable to the Directors.  If the Group is 
unable to obtain such additional funding, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations, which could adversely affect its 
business, financial condition and operating results.   
(d) 
Functional and presentation currency 
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.  Each 
entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and the items included in the financial statements of each entity  are 
measured using that functional currency.   
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all 
financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated. 
(e) 
Use of estimates and judgements 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates 
and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and 
expenses.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.  
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the 
period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. 
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within 
the next financial period and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described 
in the following notes:

Changes in accounting policies 
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in note 3 to all periods presented 
in these consolidated financial statements. 
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to 
other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013. 
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii)  AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 
(iv)  AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement 
AASB 119 Employee Benefits 
(v) 
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements 
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements 
(i) 
Control of subsidiaries 
As a result of AASB 10, the Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and consequently 
consolidates its investees.  AASB 10 introduces a new control model that focuses on whether the Group has power over an investee, 
exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns. 
In accordance with the transitional provisions of AASB 10, the Group has reassessed the control conclusions for its investees at 1 
January 2013.  There has been no change in the method of accounting for any investees. 
(ii) 
Joint Arrangements 
AASB 11 replaces the existing standards, and uses the principle of control to define and determine joint control.  The new 
standard removes the option of accounting for jointly controlled entities using proportional consolidation.  While the Group has 
subsidiaries with material non-controlling interests, there are no joint arrangements. 
(iii)  Disclosure of interests in other entities 
AASB 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates 
and structured entities.  As a result of AASB 12, the Group has reviewed and where necessary expanded its disclosure about its 
interests in subsidiaries.  While the Group has subsidiaries with material non-controlling interests, there are no associates, joint 
arrangements or unconsolidated structured entities.  For details refer to Note 36. 
(v) 
Fair value measurement 
AASB 13 provides a single source of guidance on how fair value is measured, and replaces the fair value measurement guidance 
that is currently dispersed throughout the Australian Accounting Standards.  AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required 
to use fair values, but subject to limited exceptions, AASB 13 is applied when fair value measurements or disclosures are required 
or permitted by other AASBs.  AASB 13 replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other 
AASBs.  As a result the Group has included additional disclosures in this regard.    
In accordance with the transactional provisions of AASB 13, the Group has applied the new fair  value  measurement guidance 
prospectively and has not provided any comparative information for new disclosures.  The fair value hierarchy is provided in Note 
5.  Notwithstanding the above, the change had no significant impact on the measurement of the Group’s assets and liabilities 
(vi) 
Employee benefits 
The revised AASB 119 changes the definition of short-term employee benefits.  The distinction between short-term and long-term 
employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting 
period in which the employee rendered the service. 
As a result of the change, the annual leave liability for certain of the Group’s employees is now considered to be an other long-
term benefit, when previously it was a short-term benefit.  The Group’s obligation is determined as the amount of future benefit 
that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, applying actuarial assumptions, discounted 
to determine its present value.  Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 
The Group has applied the new policy retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provision of the standard, however there 
was  no  impact  on  the  measurement  of  the  short-term  employee  benefits  in  the  2012  financial  year,  or  to  the  disclosure  in  the 
statement of financial position for 2012.

Significant accounting policies  
The  accounting  policies  set  out  below  have  been  applied  consistently  to  all  periods  presented  in  these  consolidated  financial 
statements, and have been applied consistently by the Group entities. 
Where  required  by  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  comparative  figures  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  changes  in 
presentation in the current financial year. 
(a) 
(i) 
Basis of consolidation 
Business combinations 
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control 
is transferred to the Group.  Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits 
from its activities.  In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.   
The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: 
 
 
 
 
the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus 
the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire; plus 
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less 
the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. 
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. 
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships.  Such amounts are 
generally recognised in the profit or loss. 
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with 
a business combination are expensed as incurred. 
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present 
value as at the date of exchange.  The discount rate used is the Group’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar 
borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 
Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.  If the contingent consideration is classified 
as equity, it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for in equity.  Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the 
contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. 
Subsequent to acquisition date, transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for 
as transactions with equity owners of the Group.   Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to the non-controlling 
interest and any consideration paid or received is recognised as a separate reserve within equity. 
The assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at acquisition date are recognised at fair value. In determining fair value 
the consolidated entity has utilised valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow analysis.  The assumptions made in 
performing  this  valuation  include  assumptions  as  to  discount  rates,  foreign  exchange  rates,  commodity  prices,  the  timing  of 
development,  capital  costs,  and  future  operating  costs.    Any  significant  change  in  key  assumptions  may  cause  the  acquisition 
accounting to be revised including recognition of goodwill or a discount on acquisition.   Additionally, the determination of the 
acquirer and the acquisition date also require significant judgement to be made by the Group. 
(ii) 
Non-controlling interests 
For each business combination, the Group elects to measure any non-controlling interests (NCI) in the acquiree either: 
 
 
at fair value; or 
at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, which are generally at fair value. 
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with owners 
in their capacity as owners, and are recorded in a new equity reserve called “Other Reserve”.  Adjustments to non-controlling 
interests are based on a proportionate amount of net assets of the subsidiary.  No adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or 
loss is recognised in profit or loss.  
(iii) 
Subsidiaries 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group.  The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable 
returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.  The financial 
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group from the date that control commences 
until the date that control ceases.

(a) 
Significant accounting policies (continued) 
Basis of consolidation (continued) 
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.  
Losses  applicable  to  the  NCI  in  a  subsidiary  are  allocated  to  the  non-controlling  interests  even  if  doing  so  reduces  the  non-
controlling interests below zero. 
(iv) 
Loss of control 
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and 
other components of equity.  Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.  Any interest retained in the former subsidiary 
is measured at fair value when control is lost 
(v) 
Transactions eliminated on consolidation 
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated 
in preparing the consolidated financial statements.   
(b)  
Foreign currency 
(i)  
Foreign currency transactions 
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the 
dates of the transactions.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to 
the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.  The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference 
between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during 
the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year, 
Non-monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  that  are  measured  at  fair  value  are  retranslated  to  the 
functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.  Non-monetary items in a foreign currency 
that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.  Foreign currency 
differences  arising  on  the  retranslation  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss,  except  for  differences  arising  from  the  retranslation  of 
available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is 
effective, or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. 
(ii) 
Foreign operations 
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated 
to the functional currency at exchange rates at reporting date.  The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to 
Australian dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.  
Foreign  currency  differences  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income,  and  presented  in  the  foreign  currency  translation 
reserve  in  equity.   However,  if  the  operation  is  a  non-wholly-owned  subsidiary,  then  the  relevant  proportional  share  of  the 
translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.  When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control is lost, 
the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain 
or loss on disposal.  When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation  while 
retaining  control,  the  relevant  portion  of  the  cumulative  amount  is  reattributed  to  non-controlling  interests.    When  the  Group 
disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant 
influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests.  When the 
Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining 
significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. 
When the settlement of a  monetary item receivable  from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the 
foreseeable  future,  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  arising  from  such  a  monetary  item  are  considered  to  form  part  of  a  net 
investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in the translation reserve 
in equity.

Financial instruments 
Non-derivative financial assets 
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated.  All other financial  assets 
(including  assets  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss)  are  recognised  initially  on  the  trade  date  at  which  the  Group 
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.   
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the 
rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in transactions in which substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership of the financial asset are transferred.  Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group 
is recognised as a separate asset or liability. 
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, 
the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the 
liability simultaneously. 
The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets:   
 
 
Trade and other receivables  
Trade and other receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. 
Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.  
Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from 
the acquisition date that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the 
management of its short-term commitments 
(ii) 
Non-derivative financial liabilities 
The Group initially recognises non-derivative financial liabilities on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a 
party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.  The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations 
are discharged or cancelled or expired. 
The Group has the following non-derivative financial liabilities:  
 
Trade and other payables 
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end 
of the reporting period and are stated at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of 
recognition. 
(iii) 
Share capital 
Ordinary shares 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a 
deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(d) 
Property, plant and equipment 
(i) 
Recognition and measurement 
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.  Cost includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.   
(ii) 
Subsequent costs  
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is 
probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably.  
The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.  The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment 
are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 
(iii)  Depreciation  
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use.  Depreciation is 
recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and 
equipment.  Depreciation is generally recognised in profit or loss, unless the amount is included in the carrying amount of another 
asset.  Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the 
Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease. 
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: 
 
 
 
Land & buildings 
Plant & equipment 
Fixtures & fittings 
20 years 
5 – 10 years 
5 – 10 years 
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. 
(e) 
(i) 
Intangible assets  
Exploration, evaluation and development assets 
Exploration, evaluation and development costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as deferred exploration, 
evaluation and development assets on an area of interest basis.  Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal rights to 
explore an area are recognised in the income statement. 
Exploration, evaluation and development assets are only recognised if the rights to the area of interest are current and either: 
 
 
the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, 
alternatively, by its sale; or 
activities in the area of interest have not, at the 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 in relation to, 
the area of interest are continuing. 
Exploration, evaluation and development costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as deferred exploration, 
evaluation and development assets are assessed for impairment if: 
 
 
sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability; and 
facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. 
Expenditure which no longer satisfies the above policy is written off.  In addition, a provision is raised against expenditure where 
the Directors are of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be recoverable under the above policy.  The increase in 
the provision is taken to the profit or loss for the year. 
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of reduced value, any expenditure 
carried forward in respect of that area is written off in the period in which the decision to abandon is made, firstly against any 
existing provision for that expenditure, with any remaining balance being charged to earnings.  Each area of interest is reviewed at 
the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs are written off to the extent that they are not expected to be recoverable 
in the future. 
Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of an area of interest/mineral resource unless the Group’s right to tenure to that area 
of interest is current.

Intangible assets (continued) 
(ii)  Mineral Rights 
Acquired mineral rights comprise identifiable exploration and evaluation assets including  mineral reserves acquired as part of a 
business combination and are recognised at fair value at the date of acquisition.  The mineral rights will be reclassified as mine 
property and development from commencement of development and amortised when commercial production commences on a unit 
of production basis over the estimated economic reserve of the mine. 
The  mineral  rights  are  subject  to  impairment  testing  in  accordance  with  the  Group’s  policy  for  exploration,  evaluation  and 
development assets. 
(iii)  Goodwill 
Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets.  For the measurement of goodwill at initial 
recognition refer note 3(a)(i) (business combinations). 
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.  Goodwill is not amortised, however its carrying value is assessed 
annually against its recoverable amount, as explained below under note 3(f) Impairment.  Gains and losses on the disposal of an 
entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.  Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the 
purpose of impairment testing. 
(iv)  Other intangible assets 
Other  intangible  assets  that  are  acquired  by  the  Group  and  have  finite  useful  lives  are  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. 
(v) 
Subsequent expenditure 
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which 
it relates.  All other expenditure is recognised in the profit or loss as incurred. 
(vi) 
Amortisation 
Except for goodwill and mineral rights, intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis in profit or loss over the estimated 
useful lives, from the date they are available for use.  The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years for computer 
software is three to five years. 
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. 
(f) 
(i) 
Impairment 
Non-derivative financial assets (including receivables) 
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 a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition 
of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on  the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be measured 
reliably. 
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.  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 original effective interest rate.  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. 
An  impairment  loss  is  reversed  if  the  reversal  can  be  related  objectively  to  an  event  occurring  after  the  impairment  loss  was 
recognised.  For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 
(ii) 
Non-financial assets   
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets except for exploration, evaluation and development assets and mineral 
rights, 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.  For exploration, evaluation and development assets 
and  mineral  rights  an  impairment  assessment  takes  place  when  facts  and  circumstances  suggest  that  the  carrying  amount  may 
exceed its recoverable amount.

(f) 
Significant accounting policies (continued)  
Impairment (continued) 
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.  For the purpose of impairment testing, 
assets  are  grouped  together  into the  smallest  groups  of  assets  that  generates  cash  inflows  from  continuing use  that  are  largely 
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).  The goodwill acquired in a business 
combination,  for  the purpose  of  impairment  testing,  is  allocated  to  cash-generating  units  that  are  expected  to  benefit  from  the 
synergies of the combination. 
An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  if  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.    Impairment  losses  are 
recognised  in profit  or  loss.    Impairment  losses  recognised  in  respect  of  cash-generating  units  are  allocated  first  to  reduce  the 
carrying value of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group 
of units) 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 exists. 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 had been recognised. 
(g) 
Provisions 
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated 
reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.  Provisions are determined 
by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.  The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance 
cost. 
(i) 
Restoration and rehabilitation provision 
The Group has obligations to restore and rehabilitate certain areas of property.  Provisions for the cost of rehabilitation programs 
are recognised at the time that environmental disturbance occurs (or is acquired).  On an ongoing basis, additional disturbances 
will be recognised as a rehabilitation liability.  
(h) 
Employee benefits 
(i) 
Short term employee benefits 
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within twelve months of the 
reporting  date  represent  obligations  resulting  from  employee’s  services  provided  to  reporting  date,  and  are  calculated  at 
undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage  and salary rates that the Company expects to pay  as at the reporting date, 
including related on-costs, such as workers’ compensation insurance and payroll tax. 
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term incentive bonus plans if the Group has a present legal 
or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  this  amount  as  a  result  of  past  service  provided  by  the  employee,  and  the  obligation  can  be 
estimated reliably. 
(ii) 
Share-based payment transactions 
Equity-based compensation is recognised as an expense in respect of the services received, or as capitalised exploration expenditure 
as appropriate. 
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an asset or expense with a corresponding increase in equity.  The fair value is 
measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees became unconditionally entitled to the options.  
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using an option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, 
the term of the options, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option, the share 
price at grant date and expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the 
term of the option.

(i) 
Significant accounting policies (continued)  
Revenue recognition 
Revenue is recognised in the income statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the 
buyer.  No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due. 
Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of GST.  Exchanges of goods or services of 
the same nature and value without any cash consideration are not recognised as revenue. 
(j) 
Finance income and finance costs 
Finance income comprises interest income on funds loaned to equity accounted investees and funds invested.  Interest income is 
recognised as it accrues in profit and loss, using the effective interest rate method.  
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign 
currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. 
(k)  
Leases  
(i) 
Leased assets 
Assets held by the Group under leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified 
as finance leases.  On initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the 
present value of the minimum lease payments.  Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the 
accounting policy applicable to that asset. 
Assets  held  under  other  leases  are  classified  as  operating  leases  and  are  not  recognised  in  the  Group’s  statement  of  financial 
position. 
(i) 
Lease payments 
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Lease 
incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. 
Minimum  lease  payments  made  under  finance  leases  are  apportioned  between  the  finance  expense  and  the  reduction  of  the 
outstanding liability.  The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability 
(l)  
Income Tax  
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.  Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent 
that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity, or in comprehensive income. 
(i) 
Current tax 
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 
(ii) 
Deferred tax 
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.  Deferred tax is not recognised for: 
 
 
 
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination 
and that affects neither accounting or taxable profit or loss 
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the 
Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse 
in the foreseeable future 
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. 
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the 
end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. 
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on 
the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there 
is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to offset  current  tax  liabilities  and assets  and  they  relate  to  income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  tax 
authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net 
basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Significant accounting policies (continued)  
(l)  
Income Tax (continued) 
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.  Deferred tax assets 
are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be 
realised.  
(iii) 
Tax exposure 
In  determining  the  amount of  current  and deferred  tax  the  Group  takes  into  account  the  impact  of  uncertain  tax  positions  and 
whether additional taxes and interest may be due.  The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open 
tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience.  This assessment relies 
on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events.  New information may become available 
that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will 
impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. 
(iv) 
Tax consolidation 
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entity are part of a tax consolidated group.  As a consequence all members 
of the tax consolidated group are taxed as a single entity.  The head entity within the tax consolidated group is Tigers Realm Coal 
Limited.  
(v) 
Goods and services tax  
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST 
incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority.    In  these  circumstances,  the  GST  is  recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.  
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.  The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, 
the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. 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) 
Earnings per share 
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares.  Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the 
profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the period.  Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options 
granted to employees. 
(n) 
Segment reporting 
The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the Chief Executive 
Officer, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker.   
An  operating  segment  is  a  component  of  the  Group  that  engages  in  business  activities  which  incur  expenses.    An  operating 
segment’s expenditures are reviewed regularly by the Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resources to be allocated to 
the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. 
Segment expenditure that is reported to the Chief Executive Officer includes items directly attributable to a segment as well as 
those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.  Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s 
headquarters) and head office expenses. 
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period on exploration and evaluation, and to acquire property, 
plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill. 
(o) 
Discontinued operations 
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for 
sale  or  distribution,  if  earlier.    When  an  operation  is  classified  as  a  discontinued  operation,  the  comparative  statement  of 
comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted  
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 
2014, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group 
are set out below.  The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. 
(a) 
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2010), AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2009) 
AASB 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets.  Under AASB 9 (2009) 
financial assets are classified and measured based on the business model in which they are held and the characteristics of their 
contractual cash flows.  AASB 9 (2010) introduces additions relating to financial liabilities.  The IASB currently has an active 
project  that  may  result  in  limited  amendments  to  the  classification  and  measurement  requirements  of  AASB9  and  add  new 
requirements to address impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. 
AASB 9 Financial Instruments becomes mandatory for the Group’s 2015 consolidated financial statements and could change the 
classification and measurement of financial assets.  The Group does not plan to adopt this standard early and the extent of the

Determination of fair values 
A  number  of  the  Group’s  accounting  policies  and  disclosures  require  the  determination  of  fair  value  for  financial  assets  and 
liabilities.   
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible.  Fair values are 
categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used in valuation techniques as follows. 
 
 
 
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. 
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, 
then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input 
that is significant to the entire measurement. 
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change 
occurred. 
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

Note 26 
Note 27 
royalty agreement liability  
share-based payment transactions 
financial instruments 
(a) 
Trade and other receivables  
The fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted 
at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.  
(b) 
Non-derivative financial assets and liabilities  
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest 
cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.  Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are 
measured at the original invoice amount if the effect of discounting is immaterial.  Fair value is determined at initial recognition 
and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date. 
(c) 
Royalty Agreement liability 
The fair value of option liabilities is determined using the Black Scholes option valuation methodology, adjusted for the level of 
risk assumed in the option.  The fair values of the royalty agreement liability are based on a discounted cash flow estimate for the 
underlying mining project which included various assumptions about the life of the mine including commodity prices, exchange 
rates, grade of resources, capital expenditure, operating costs, production recovery rates, depreciation rates, and tax rates; and is 
discounted at the Group’s cost of equity at the reporting date.

Determination of fair values (continued) 
(d) 
Share-based payment transactions 
Equity-based compensation is recognised as an expense in respect of the services received, or as capitalised exploration expenditure 
as appropriate.  The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity.  The fair 
value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the 
options.  The fair value is measured using a Black-Scholes or Monte-Carlo Simulation Model.  Measurement inputs include value 
on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on comparable companies), expected life of the 
instruments, expected dividends and the risk free interest rate.  Service conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into 
account in determining fair value.

(a) 
Financial risk management 
Risk management framework 
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.   The 
Board has established the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s 
risk management policies.  The committee reports regularly to the Board. 
The Group has established a Risk Management Policy to provide a framework for the management of risk within the Group.  The 
Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits 
and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. 
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its operations and use of financial instruments: 
 
 
 
 
Credit risk 
Liquidity risk 
Market risk 
Operational risk 
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, its objectives, policies and processes  for 
measuring  and  managing  risk,  and  the  management  of  capital.  Further  quantitative  disclosures  are  included  throughout  these 
consolidated financial statements.  
(i) 
Credit risk 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual 
obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities.   
(ii) 
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.   
(iii)  Market risk 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices 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.  
For the Group currency risk arises from transactions in foreign currencies, predominantly US Dollars (USD), and Russian 
roubles (RUB).  For the Group interest rate risk arises from the exposure to Australian cash deposit rates relating to cash 
and cash equivalents. For the Group commodity price risk arises from the valuation of the Royalty Agreement Liability. 
(iv)  Operational risk 
Operational  risk  is  the  risk  of direct  or  indirect  loss  arising  from  a  wide  variety  of  causes  associated  with the  Group’s 
processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure and from external factors other than credit, liquidity and market risks 
such  as  those  arising  from  legal  and  regulatory  requirements  and  generally  accepted  standards  of corporate  behaviour.  
Operational risks arise from all of the Group’s operations.  
The Group’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the 
Group’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness.  The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of 
controls to address operational risk is assigned to the Group’s senior management.  This responsibility is supported by the 
development of the Group Policies and Code of Conduct. 
(b) 
Capital management 
The Company and Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
so as to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration, evaluation and development of its projects.  In order 
to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, or issue new shares.  The Group’s focus 
has  been  to  raise  sufficient  funds  through  equity  to  fund  exploration  and  evaluation  activities  and  currently  has  no  external 
borrowings. 
The Board has not set a target for employee ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares.  
The Board has not yet set a debt to capital target for the Group.   
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Segment reporting 
The Group has two reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s main mineral exploration projects.  The Group 
has identified these segments based on the internal reports used and reviewed by the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, (the chief 
operating decision maker) in assessing the performance and determining the allocation of resources. 
The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally are the same as those contained in note 3 to the accounts 
and in the prior period.  In 2013 the mineral exploration activities of the Group are managed in two reportable operating segments.  
In 2012 the mineral exploration activities of the Group were managed in three reportable operating segments, with the Landazuri 
Project being discontinued in 2012 
2013 
Amaam Project 
Other 
2012 
The Amaam Project is located in the Bering Basin in Chukotka province, in the 
Russian Federation and consists of the Amaam tenement and the Amaam North 
tenement. 
Consists  of  corporate  and  office  expenses  primarily  incurred  at  the  Group’s 
Melbourne offices, and other costs, including the costs of closing and liquidating 
non-operating entities (Indonesia and Spain). 
Landazuri Project 
(Discontinued) 
The  Landazuri  Project  in  Colombia  was  discontinued  in  June  2012  when  the 
Group withdrew from the Project. 
Management monitors the expenditure outlays of each segment for the purpose of cost control and making decisions about resource 
allocation.  The Group’s administration and financing functions are managed on a group basis and are  included in the “Other” 
segment.

Basic earnings / (loss) per share 
The calculation of basic earnings per share (EPS) at 31 December 2013 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary equity 
holders of the Company of $12.415 million (2012: loss of $19.779 million) and a weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the period ended 31 December 2013 of 499,790,986 (2012:  387,940,517).  
Diluted earnings / (loss) per share 
The calculation of diluted earnings per share at 31 December 2013 is the same as basic earnings per share.  The Company 
had issued 49,527,100 options over ordinary shares.  The options over ordinary shares could potentially dilute basic 
earnings per share in the future; however, they have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share 
because they are anti-dilutive for the reporting period.

The Group’s accounting policy is to capitalise expenditure on exploration, evaluation and development on an area of interest basis.  
The recoverability of the carrying amounts of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and 
commercial exploitation or sale of the respective area of interest. 
The  Landazuri  Project  in  Colombia  was  discontinued  in  2012,  and  as  a  consequence  the  deferred  exploration,  evaluation  and 
development relating to Landazuri was taken to the profit or loss in 2012 (refer note 8).

Other intangible assets consist of computer software. 
On 18 January 2012 the Group completed the acquisition of an additional Bering Basin coking coal tenement in the Far East of the 
Russian Federation at Amaam North.  This Amaam North tenement is 30 kilometres north of the Group’s existing tenement at 
Amaam.  The Group has acquired an 80% interest in Rosmiro Investments Limited which, through its wholly owned subsidiary 
Beringpromugol LCC, holds the Amaam North tenement, for consideration of $0.385 million (US$0.400 million).  This acquisition 
has resulted in the addition of $0.531 million of mineral rights. 
The Mineral Rights acquired as part of business combinations will be amortised (as an expense) in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive  income  over  the  life  of  the  relevant  areas  of  interest  from  the  commencement  of  commercial  production.    The 
mineral  rights  intangible  asset  will  be  subject  to  impairment  testing  in  accordance  with  the  Group’s  accounting  policy  for 
exploration, evaluation and development assets.

(i)  
Impairment testing for CGUs containing goodwill 
Goodwill arose in the business combination for the acquisition a controlling interest in the Amaam Project through the acquisition 
of an interest in Eastshore Coal Holding Limited in 2011 representing the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value 
of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill 
is allocated to the Group’s cash generating units (CGUs) identified according to the Group’s operating segments for impairment 
testing purposes.

In assessing whether an impairment adjustment is required for the carrying value of an asset, its carrying value is compared with 
its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.   It is 
management’s intention to continue to develop the Amaam Project.  Consequently, unless indicated otherwise, the recoverable 
amount used in assessing asset impairment is the value in use.  The fair value measurement was categorised as a Level 3 fair value 
based on inputs in the valuation techniques used (refer note 5). 
Impairment valuation technique and significant observable inputs 
The Group estimates the value in use of the Amaam Project using a discounted cash flow model for the life of the project.  The 
projected cash flows of the project are for a period in excess of five years and represents management’s estimate of the life of mine.  
The calculation of value in use is most sensitive to a number of assumptions, including short and long term commodity prices, 
foreign exchange rates, production volumes, capital expenditure, operating costs and discount rates.  These assumptions can change 
over short periods of time which can have a significant impact on the carrying value of assets.  The assumptions applied within this 
valuation are consistent with those applied in determining the Royalty Agreement Liability (refer to Note 23). 
Detailed development plans are constructed by management for each project utilising detailed life of mine plans based on estimated 
production volumes and operating costs.  Management believes that no reasonably possible change in the assumptions would cause 
the carrying amount of goodwill and other non-current assets to exceed their recoverable amount. 
The future cash flows are adjusted for risks specific to the asset and discounted using a pre-tax discount rate of 16.06% (2012: 
15.97%).  This discount rate is derived from the Group’s post-tax weighted average cost of capital.  Management also believes that 
currently, there is no reasonably possible change in the discount rate, estimated coking coal price, and future operating costs which 
would reduce the Group’s excess of recoverable amount over the carrying amounts of the individual CGUs to zero.

The royalty agreement liability arose as a consequence of the shift in control of Eastshore to TRC Cyprus on 6 May 2011 and the 
resulting consolidation of Eastshore and its 100% owned subsidiary, NPCC. 
Applying AASB 3 Business Combinations the fair value of the consideration for Eastshore is measured as the fair value of TIG’s 
existing 40% equity interest in Eastshore at 6 May 2011, and in addition, the fair value of the option inherent in the Bering Royalty 
Agreement, whereby Bering may choose to fund its proportion of the expenditure after completion of the bankable feasibility study 
or to have its interest diluted in return for a royalty stream. 
With regards to the Bering Royalty Agreement, prior to 6 May 2011, TRC Cyprus held a 40% interest in Eastshore.  TRC Cyprus 
now holds an 80% interest in Eastshore.   If Bering fails to fund its proportion of expenditure after completion of the bankable 
feasibility study, its remaining 20% shareholding may be diluted in exchange for a maximum royalty of 2% of gross sales revenue 
from the sale of coal produced from the area of a license held by a member of the Eastshore Group. 
The  option  inherent  in the  Bering  Royalty  Agreement  whereby  Bering  may  choose  to  fund  its  proportion of  expenditure  after 
completion of the bankable feasibility study or to have its interest diluted in return for a royalty stream, is deemed to be part of the 
consideration for TIG obtaining control of Eastshore.  As such, the option is recorded as consideration at fair value in relation to 
the acquisition.  
Measurement of fair values 
(i)  Fair value hierarchy 
The fair value measurement of the royalty agreement liability has been categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to 
the valuation technique used (refer note 5(c)). 
(ii)  Valuation technique and significant observable inputs 
TIG has used the Black and Scholes formula to value the royalty agreement liability, based on the parameters set out in the table 
below:

At 31 December 2013 the fair value of the liability was revalued to $19.994 million (2012: $12.330 million).  This resulted in a 
loss being taken to the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2013 of $5.118 million (2012: profit 
of $4.228 million).  The fair value was recalculated based on information available at 31 December 2013.  The Bering option will 
be revalued at each future balance date with any resulting movement being recognised as a gain or loss in the statement of 
comprehensive income. 
Due to the inherent uncertainties arising from Bering’s option to dilute its interest in return for a royalty stream after the 
completion of the bankable feasibility study, management cannot reliably estimate the timing of any expected outflows of cash if 
any.

Description of share-based payment arrangements 
In 2010 the Company established the Staff Option Plan as part of the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan to assist in the 
attraction, motivation and retention of senior executives and employees and to encourage their personal commitment to the 
Company.  The plan forms a necessary part of the competitive packages offered by the Company in-light of the markets in which 
it operates.  The plan also creates an ownership mindset among participants and ensures business decisions and strategic planning 
has regard to the Company’s long term performance and growth.  There a number of different performance hurdles, exercise 
prices and vesting conditions dependent on the individual’s position held.  It is a vesting condition that the holder of options 
remains an employee or director at the time of vesting.  There have been no cancellations or modification to the Staff Option Plan 
since it was established in 2010. 
The Staff Option Plan offers individuals the opportunity to acquire options over fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.  
Share options granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights.  When exercised, each option is convertible into one 
ordinary share subject to satisfying vesting conditions and performance criteria.  The shares when issued rank pari passu in all 
respects with previously issued fully paid ordinary shares.  Option holders cannot participate in new issues of capital which may 
be offered to shareholders prior to exercise. 
A fair value of these options is assessed at grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model in accordance with AASB2 Share-
based Payments.  The options vest and expire at dates set out in the terms of the grant.  The options cannot be transferred and are 
not quoted on the ASX. 
(c) 
Summary of options granted under the Option Plan 
The options outstanding at 31 December 2013 have an exercise price in the range of $0.078 to $1.00 (2012: $0.078 to $1.00).  The 
weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding at 31 December 2013 is 2.86 years (2012: 3.51 years).  The 
weighted  average  fair  value  of  options  granted  during  the  year  was  $0.084  (2012:  $0.091).    There  are  4,175,000  vested  and

Inputs for the measurement of grant date fair values 
The grant date fair values of the options granted through the Staff Option Plan utilised assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes 
methodology to produce a Monte Carlo simulation model which allows for incorporation of the performance hurdles that must be 
met before the share based payment vests to the holder.  Expected volatility is estimated by considering historic average share price 
volatility for those options issued since February 2013.  Prior to that date, due to the lack of sufficient share price history (TIG was 
listed on 29 August 2011) the share price volatility was based on the historical volatility of a group of comparable companies, 
based on their principal activities, for volatility estimation purposes.  The expected dividend yield used in the valuation process has 
been 0%.  The early exercise provision has been measured using a sell multiple of two times the exercise price.  The post-vesting 
withdrawal rate used in the valuation of the options is 0%.  The risk free rate is derived from the yield on Australian Government 
Bonds of appropriate terms.  All options granted under the Staff Option Plan are for a five year term.

Share based payments (continued) 
The share options originally granted prior to the Initial Public Offer on 29 August 2011 were granted with a performance period of 
12 months from the date of the IPO, with the ability for the Directors to extend the performance period for a further 12 month 
period.  In 2012 the Directors extended the performance period of these options for a further 12 month period to 29 August 2013.  
In 2013 the Directors have extended the performance period of these options for a further 12 month period to 29 August 2014.  As 
a  consequence  of  each  of  these  decisions  these  share  options  have  been  revalued  in  accordance  with  accounting  standard 
requirements.   
The  inputs  used  in  the  measurement  of  the  fair  values  at  grant  date  of  the  options  granted  under  the  Staff  Option  Plan  and

when required to meet such planned expenditure.

An increase in interest rates, as indicated below, at balance dates would have increased equity and profit and loss by the amounts 
shown below. This analysis is based on interest rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the 
reporting period.  The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular exchange rates, remain constant.  A reduction in the 
interest rates would have had the equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown below, on the basis that all other variables remain 
constant.

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to perform minimum exploration work 
to meet the minimum expenditure requirements.  The minimum exploration work required to be performed to maintain tenure in 
the  exploration  licences  granted  in  the  Russian  Federation  is  the  performance  of  a  minimum  number  of  drilling  metres  to  be 
performed over the life of each exploration licence.  These obligations are expected to be fulfilled in the normal course of operations.  
Mining interests may be relinquished or joint ventured to reduce this amount.  The various country and state governments have the 
authority to defer, waive or amend the minimum expenditure requirements.    
There are no other commitments as at reporting date.  
30.  Contingencies 
The Directors are of the opinion that there are no contingent liabilities or contingent assets as at 31 December 2013, and none were 
incurred in the interval between the year-end and the date of this report.

Eastshore Coal Holding Limited and its 100% owned subsidiary Northern Pacific Coal Corporation (NPCC), have been 
consolidated from 6 May 2011.  A series of agreements were executed on this date, which resulted in TRC Cyprus being entitled 
to appoint the majority of the members of the board of Eastshore (i.e. three out of five), which in turn provided it with the power 
to govern the financial and operating policies of Eastshore so as to obtain the benefits from Eastshore’s activities.  As a result the 
Group has consolidated Eastshore and its subsidiary NPCC, from 6 May 2011.

Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed below are relieved 
from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and directors’ reports. 
It is a condition of a Class Order that the Company and each of the subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee.  The effect 
of the Deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of any of the 
subsidiaries under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.  If a winding up occurs under other provisions of the Act, the 
Company will only be liable in the event that after six months any creditor has not been paid in full.  The subsidiaries have also 
given similar guarantees in the event that the Company is wound up. 
The entities subject to the Deed of Cross Guarantee are: 
 
 
Tigers Realm Coal Limited; and 
TR Coal International Limited. 
The Deed of Cross Guarantee was established on 22 November 2012.

Tigers Realm Coal Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued) 
For the year ended 31 December 2013 
36.   Non-controlling interest (continued) 
Acquisition of NCI 
In April 2013 the Group exercised its right to increase its ownership interest in Eastshore Coal Holdings Limited (“Eastshore”) by 
20%, increasing from 40% to 60% ownership interest.  The increase in ownership was a consequence of the Group obtaining a 
Mining Licence over an area within the Amaam tenement.  A result of this increase in ownership of Eastshore is that the Group’s 
ownership  interests  in  Northern  Pacific  Coal  Company  (“NPCC”)  increased  to  60%,  and  the  interest  in  Beringtranscoal  LLC 
(“BTC”) increased to 63%. 
The impact of this transaction was that the Group recognised: 
 
 
 
a decrease in NCI of $8.185 million;  
an increase in the Other Reserve of $8.397 million; and 
a decrease in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve of $0.212 million. 
In October 2013 the Group was able to renegotiate the terms of the ownership agreement with Bering Coal Investments Limited 
and increased its ownership interest in Eastshore by a further 20%, increasing from 60% to 80% ownership interest.  The new terms 
removed  the  requirement  to  complete  a  bankable  feasibility  study  before  this  increase  in  ownership  could  be  made.    As  a 
consequence the Group’s ownership interest in both NPCC and BTC has now increased to 80%. 
The impact of this transaction was that the Group recognised: 
 
 
 
a decrease in NCI of $8.875 million; 
an increase in the Other Reserve of $10.185 million; and 
a decrease in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve of $1.310 million. 
The following summarises the changes in the Group’s ownership interest in Eastshore.

Subsequent events 
Subsequent to 31 December 2013 the following events have occurred which are items, transactions or events considered to be of a 
material or unusual nature, which in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, are likely to affect significantly the operations 
of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years: 
On 16 January 2014 the short term unsecured interest loan facility of $0.500 million with a Director, Mr A Manini was cancelled.  
The loan facility  was not utilised by the Group.  On 16 January 2014 the short term unsecured interest loan facility of $0.500 
million with a Director, Mr O Hegarty was cancelled.  The loan facility was not utilised by the Group. 
On 14 February 2014 the short term unsecured loan facility  with Tigers Realm Minerals Pty Limited was increased by $0.500 
million to $2.500 million. 
On 20 March 2014 the Company announced the results of its winter drilling season.  At Amaam over 6,000 metres of a planned 
9,000  metre  drilling  campaign  was  completed.    This  drilling  identified  new  coal  seams  over  a  strike  length  of  2.2  km  with  a 
cumulative coal thickness averaging 8.3 metres.  At Amaam North 6,000 metres of drilling was completed which increased the 
strike length of the Project F coal seam by 8.6 km.  The drilling also discovered further coal seams to the north of Project F, and 
also to the east of Project F.
