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
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

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.

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.

2013 Highlights
•
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.

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.

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”.

The Far East of the Russian Federation – Coking Coal Projects
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
Dr Gray), with TRM.
On 28 March 2014 Dr Bruce Gray resigned as a Non-executive Director of the Company, and Mr Andrew Gray was appointed as
a Non-executive Director of the Company.
Other than the events noted above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this
report any item, transaction or event of a material nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, to affect
significantly the operations of the Group, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group,
including Directors of the Company.
The Board is committed to clear and transparent disclosure of the Company’s remuneration arrangements. The Company’s
remuneration policy is designed to ensure that it enables the Company to attract and retain valued employees, motivate senior
executives and executive Directors to pursue the long term growth and success of the Company, demonstrate a clear relationship
between performance and remuneration and have regard for prevailing market conditions.

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
financial indices in respect of the financial year and previous two financial years.

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.

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.

Directors’ report (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2013

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)

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.

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.
Audit services:
Audit and review of financial reports (KPMG Australia)

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.

(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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2013

(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.

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
impact has not been determined.
5.
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 23
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.

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.

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.

Discontinued operation
In June 2012 following the completion of a strategic review of the Group’s exploration project portfolio, the Group withdrew from
the farm-in option agreements relating to the tenements underlying the Landazuri Project, effectively ending its involvement in
operations in Colombia. The Group ceased all operations in Colombia, and is in the process of liquidating its corporate entity in
Colombia.

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).

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.

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:
Valuation Date
Expiry Date
Current price (US$m) (a)
Exercise price of option (US$m) (b)
Time to expiration (days)

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
exercisable options at 31 December 2013 (2012: nil vested and nil exercisable). No options were exercised in 2013 or 2012.

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.

Liquidity risk
Exposure to liquidity risk
Management monitors the exposure to liquidity risk on an on-going basis. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining
sufficient cash reserves to meet the on-going operational requirements of the business. It is the Group’s policy to maintain sufficient
funds in cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, the Group monitors its cash requirements and raises appropriate funding as and
when required to meet such planned expenditure.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities.

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.

35. Deed of cross guarantee
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.
A consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position, comprising the Company and

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.
Group’s ownership interest at 1 January 2013

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.

balance of funds will be applied to compliance and corporate costs associated with the projects and the costs of the offer.
