Review of Operations
Highlights
Aucu Gold deposit drilling campaign in the second half of 2015 identifies exception gold
intersections
o Key results include:
8 metres at 55.2 g/t gold
4 metres at 60 g/t gold
6 metres at 38.4 g/t gold
o Two new major mineralised structures identified by drilling.
o Drilling extends mineralisation along strike from the already established Inferred gold
resource of 1.15Mt at 4.2 g/t gold for 156,000 ounces of contained Gold
o Substantial growth potential confirmed with the resource remaining open along strike and at
depth for both deposits
o Project tenure extended to December 2020.
o Preliminary metallurgy reveals excellent total average gold recovery of 99% and average
gravity recoverable gold of 88.6%
o 2016 drilling program underway with initial assay results adding to the potential to
significantly increase contained gold resource at Aucu
Substantial nickel mineralisation identified at the Coglia prospect, results include:
o 4 metres at 3% nickel from 84 metres within;
o 12 metres at 2.2% nickel from 80 metres
Corporate
During the year the Company completed two placements and a shareholder purchase plan that raised
$5,074,000 to continue exploration on the Aucu gold deposit in the Kyrgyz Republic and the Merolia nickel
and gold projects in Western Australia.
Exploration Summary
White Cliff controls extensive tenement packages in Western Australia’s Yilgarn Craton and the Pilbara
region as well as a major gold-copper project in Central Asia.
Central Asia
During the year 2,494 metres of reverse circulation drilling was conducted at the Aucu high grade gold
deposit in the Kyrgyz Republic (Map 2). Drilling was focused on extending the existing JORC compliant gold
resource of 1.15 Million tonnes at 4.2 g/t containing 156,000 ounces of gold. The drilling program identified
extensive new high grade mineralisation including: 8 metres at 55 g/t gold, 6 metres at 38.4 g/t gold, 4
metres at 60 g/t gold and multiple other intersections at similar grades. The additional gold mineralisation
extends the upper gold zone an additional 600 metres to the east.
Drilling during the remainder of 2016 will focus on increasing the mineral resource at the Aucu gold deposit
by drilling out the new zone.
Western Australia
In Western Australia the Company is exploring several projects with the primary focus on the Merolia gold
and nickel project (Map 1).

Drilling identified high grade gold mineralisation at the Ironstone Gold prospect and the Company has
conducted an extensive geochemical soil sampling program along the ironstone gold and comet well gold
trends to identify additional gold targets.
Significant nickel mineralisation was encountered at the Coglia nickel prospect with drill intersections of 4
metres at 3% nickel within 12 metres at 2.2% nickel. Further petrology and multi element assays are
underway prior to further drilling.

The Aucu Gold Project, Central Asia (89%)
During the year 2,494 metres reverse circulation drilling was completed at the Aucu high grade gold deposit
in the Kyrgyz Republic (Map 2). Drilling identified extensive high grade mineralisation including: 8 metres at
55 g/t gold, 4 metres at 60 g/t gold, 6 metres at 38.4 g/t gold and multiple other intersections at similar
grades. Mineralisation starts at surface is open along strike at either end and at depth below the drilling. The
new zones of gold mineralisation are in addition to the existing JORC compliant inferred gold resource of 1.2
Million tonnes at 4.2 g/t containing 156,000 ounces of gold.
Three New Mineralised Zones Discovered
Field work commenced in May 2015 immediately discovering three new mineralised zones interpreted to be
extensions of the existing Aucu gold resource. The new mineralised zones are parallel to the existing zones
and consist of:
The Upper Gold Zone East, 900 metres East of the Upper Gold Zone (UGZ) which consists of a 500 metre
long zone with drilling results including: 8 metres at 55 g/t gold, 4 metres at 60 g/t gold, 2 metres at 43 g/t
gold and multiple other intersections at similar grades. Mineralisation starts at surface is open along strike at
either end and at depth below the drilling.
The Eastern Gold Zone (EGZ), which occurs 1.5 kilometres east of the Lower Gold Zone (LGZ) within
granodiorite with drilling results including: 3 metres at 6.97 g/t gold, 3 metres at 4.33 g/t gold and an
additional 3 metres at 3.56 g/t gold.
The Camp Gold Zone (CGZ) that occurs 400 metres south of the LGZ within sediments with drilling results of
9 metres at 6.83g/t gold The CGZ was initially identified from trenching results of 3 metres at 23.8 g/t gold.

Licence Extended to 2020
During December the Kyrgyz State Agency for Geology and Mineral Resources (SAGMAR) issued a five
year extension to the Company’s exploration license (AP 590) with an expiry date of 31 December 2020.
The Company has also received statutory approvals for the 2016 exploration program from the relevant state
authorities (Geology, Mining, Environment, Forestry and the regional government). The 2016 drill program
commenced in June and will continue through until the end of October.
Metallurgical Test Work
Preliminary metallurgical test work revealed an average total overall gold recovery of 98.9% from intensive
cyanide leaching of both the gravity concentrate and gravity tailings. The total gravity recoverable gold
averaged an exceptional 88.6% from intensive cyanide leaching of the gravity concentrate.
The test work was conducted on 182 one metre RC samples which were composited into 69 samples
representing each ore intersection from every hole (Figure 1). The samples represent ALL the mineralised
intervals sampled from the 2014 and 2015 drill programs.
Further investigation of the test work revealed an average overall gold recovery of 99% for the samples that
represent the current JORC Compliant resource (1.2 Million tonnes at 4.2 g/t gold). The above results
indicate that all of the JORC Compliant Inferred resource is likely to have very high average recoveries and
further, will be amenable to standard processing methods.
Summary
1. JORC Compliant Inferred Gold Resource of 1.2 Mt at 4.2 g/t containing 156,000 ounces of gold
2. Mineralisation outcrops at surface
3. Three new mineralised zones discovered with exceptionally high average grades ~40+ g/t gold
4. Metallurgical average total gold recovery of 99%
5. Average gravity recoverable gold of 88.6%

announcement. Mineralised zones are depicted by red hatched areas (known) or red lines (Inferred).
Merolia Gold and Nickel Gold Project (100%)
During the year the company finalised drilling programs for the McKenna and Coglia nickel sulphide targets
and the Ironstone Gold target (Figure 2). See ASX releases dated 21/01/2016 and 12/02/2016.
High grade gold mineralisation was discovered at the Ironstone Gold prospect and the Company is planning
further exploration. For detailed information see ASX release dated 29/02/2016. The Company has
conducted an extensive geochemical soil sampling program along the ironstone gold and comet well gold
trends. Approximately 2,000 samples have been collected and are currently at the laboratory undergoing
analysis. Results will be released as they become available.
Significant nickel mineralisation was encountered at the Coglia nickel prospect with drill intersections of 4
metres at 3% nickel within 12 metres at 2.2% nickel. While the mineralisation occurs within the regolith
profile the high grade and significant copper is more suggestive of the sulphide deposit. Further petrology
and multi element assays are underway.
Three barren iron sulphide conductors were encountered at the McKenna prospect downgrading its
prospectivity. No further work is planned.
Other Projects
No significant exploration was undertaken on the Company’s remaining exploration projects during the year.

Employment contracts/Consultancy agreements
Share-based compensation
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
A
The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive
and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aims to align executive reward with the creation of value
for shareholders. The key criteria for good remuneration governance practices adopted by the Board are:
competitiveness and reasonableness
acceptability to shareholders
performance incentives
transparency
capital management
The framework provides a mix of fixed salary, consultancy agreement based remuneration and share based
incentives.
The broad remuneration policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of Board members and
senior executives of the Company is governed by the full board. Although there is no separate remuneration
committee the Board’s aim is to ensure the remuneration packages properly reflect directors’ and executives’
duties and responsibilities. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of
such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective
of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention and motivation of a high quality Board and executive
team.
The current remuneration policy adopted is that no element of any director or executive package is directly related
to the Company’s financial performance. Indeed there are no elements of any director or executive remuneration
that are dependent upon the satisfaction of any specific condition however the overall remuneration policy
framework is structured to advance and create shareholder wealth.
Non-executive directors
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of,
the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board and are intended to
be in line with the market.
13
White Cliff Minerals Limited
ABN 22 126 299 125
Directors’ Report
Directors’ fees
Some of the directors perform at least some executive or consultancy services. As the Board considers it important to
distinguish between the executive and non-executive roles each of the directors receive a separate fixed fee for their
services as a director.
Retirement allowances for directors
Apart from superannuation payments paid on salaries there are no retirement allowances for directors.
Executive pay
The executive pay and reward framework has the following components:
base pay and benefits such as superannuation
long-term incentives through participation in employee equity issues
Base pay
All executives are either full time employees or consultants who are paid on an agreed basis that has been
formalised in a consultancy agreement.
Benefits
Apart from superannuation paid on executive salaries there are no additional benefits paid to executives.
Short-term incentives
There are no current short term incentive remuneration arrangements.
Performance based remuneration
To ensure that the Company has appropriate mechanisms in place to continue to attract and retain the services of
suitable directors and employees, the Company has issued options and performance rights to key personnel.
During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company issued 16,000,000 performance rights to directors while in the
year ended 30 June 2015, the Company issued 15,000,000 performance rights to directors (refer note 13).

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies
(a)
Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies
with other requirements of the law. The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently
applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial report has also been
prepared on a historical cost basis. The Company is a listed public company registered and domiciled in
Australia. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.
Going Concern
The Company and its controlled entities as at 30 June (the “Group”) do not generate sufficient cash flows
from their operating activities to finance these activities. Thus the continuing viability of the Group and its
ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due are dependent
upon the Group being successful in completing a capital raising and/or asset sale/joint venture agreement
in the next 12 months. The directors have mitigated this risk by reducing the Group’s corporate overheads
and postponing expenditure on the Group’s projects where possible.
During the financial year the Company has raised a net $5,368,133 in new equity capital, and at the date
of this report the Company has working capital of approximately $1,660,000.
Notwithstanding this, the Directors believe that the Company will need to raise additional working capital
to progress the Company’s exploration activities.
As a result of these matters, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on whether
the Group will continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and settle its
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial
report. However, the directors believe that the Group will be successful in the above matters and,
accordingly, have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.
(b)
(c)
Adoption of new and revised standards
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
In the year ended 30 June 2016, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for the
current annual reporting period. It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material
or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no
change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are
not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2016. As a result of this review the Directors have
determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations on the Group and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.
Statement of compliance
The financial report was authorised by the Board of directors for issue on 5 September 2016
The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian
equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures
that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d)
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of White Cliff Minerals Limited
(“Company” or “parent entity”) and its controlled entities as at 30 June 2016 (the “Group”).
The financial statements of the controlled entities are prepared for the same reporting period as the
parent entity, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income
and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and
cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists
where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to
obtain benefits from its activities.
(e)
Significant accounting judgements estimates and assumptions
The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions
about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are
considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised if it affects only that period, or in the period of the revision
and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Exploration and evaluation costs carried forward
The Group’s main activity is exploration and evaluation for minerals. The nature of exploration activities
are such that it requires interpretation of complex and difficult geological models in order to make an
assessment of the size, shape, depth and quality of resources and their anticipated recoveries. The
economic, geological and technical factors used to estimate mining viability may change from period to
period. In addition, exploration activities by their nature are inherently uncertain. Changes in all these
factors can impact exploration asset carrying values.
Share-based payment transactions:
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair
value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by
either market value or using a Black and Scholes model using the assumptions contained in Note 13.
(f)
(g)
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met
before revenue is recognised:
(i) Interest income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield
on the financial asset.
(ii) Government assistance - drilling grants
Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will
be received and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as
income over the periods necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value. Temporary bank overdrafts are included in cash at bank and in hand. Permanent
bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash
equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(h)
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income
based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets
and liabilities attributable to temporary difference and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and
associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken
in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It
establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax
authorities.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to
the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset
or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in controlled entities,
associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference
can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits
and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at
the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in controlled entities,
associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to
the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future
and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance date and are recognised to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be
recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the
financial year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the
same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Tax consolidation legislation
The Company and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have implemented the tax
consolidation legislation. Current and deferred tax amounts are accounted for in each individual entity
as if each entity continued to act as a taxpayer on its own.
The Company recognises both its current and deferred tax amounts and those current tax liabilities,
current tax assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax credits and unused tax losses which
it has assumed from its controlled entities within the tax consolidated group.

(i)
Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
(j)
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash
flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation
authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority.
Impairment of assets
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group
makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its
fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the
asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups
of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the
asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-
generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
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. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those
expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at re-
valued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the
recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last
impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its
recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior financial
periods. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in
which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation
charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual
value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
(k)
Trade and other payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the
Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and
services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within
12 months.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(l)
(m)
Provisions
Where applicable, provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are not made for future operating losses.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive
income net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the net present value of management’s
best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate
that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a
borrowing cost.
Share-based payment transactions
Equity settled transactions:
The Group provides benefits to employees and consultants of the Group in the form of share-based
payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-
settled transactions).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees and consultants is measured by reference
to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted and/or vested. The fair
value is determined by using either market value or the Black and Scholes model, further details of which
are given in Note 13.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity,
over the period in which any performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on
which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting period).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting
date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired, and the Group’s best estimate of the
number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a year represents the movement in
cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that year.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is only
conditional upon a market condition.
If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the
terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases
the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee,
as measured at the date of modification.
If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any
expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is
substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is
granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as
described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as
additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see Note 4).
(n)
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a new business are not
included in the costs of acquisition as part of purchase consideration.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policies (continued)
(o)
(p)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent,
adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends,
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent,
adjusted for:
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that
have been recognised as expenses; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from
the dilution of potential ordinary shares, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs are accumulated in respect of each
separate area of interest. Acquisition costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of
interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through the sale or successful development and
exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest
have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically
recoverable reserves. When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not
commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial year
and accumulated acquisition costs written off to the extent that they will not be recovered in the future.
Amortisation is not charged on acquisition costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the
development phase until production commences.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest
that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it
has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the
extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying
amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent
that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest,
the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then
reclassified to development.

* The fair value of the equity-settled share options was estimated using the Black and Scholes model taking into
account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The holders of these options did not
realise any value/profit from these options which have now lapsed.
** The fair value of the equity-settled share options was estimated using the initial bid price for these options on
the first day these options were quoted for trading upon ASX. This method provides the most accurate estimate
of the value of these options.
*** The fair value of the performance rights was estimated using the Black and Scholes model taking into
account the terms and conditions upon which the rights were granted.
**** It was considered that no fair value is required to be expensed upon the grant of these performance rights.
The fair value of these 16,000,000 performance rights, if vested, approximates $96,000.

The expected life of the option/rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise
patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative
of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. The fair value of unlisted option/rights
was discounted to account for the existence of continuity of employment vesting conditions, non-transferability
and the un-listed aspect of the employee option/rights. No other features of option/rights granted were
incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Note 14: Financial instruments
(a) Capital risk management
Prudent capital risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities to ensure
continuity of tenure to exploration assets and to be able to conduct the Group’s business in an orderly and
professional manner. The Board monitors its future capital requirements on a regular basis and will when
appropriate consider the need for raising additional equity capital or to farm-out exploration projects as a means
of preserving capital. The Board currently has a policy of not entering into any debt arrangements.
(b) Categories of financial instruments
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of cash and short-term deposits. The main purpose of
these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial
assets and liabilities such as receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. It is, and
has been throughout the year, the Group’s policy that no trading in financial instruments shall be undertaken
during the year.
(c) Financial risk management objectives
The Group is exposed to market risk (including interest rate risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity
risk.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk and credit risk. The Board
reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
(d) Market risk
Equity price risk sensitivity analysis
There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and
measures the risk from the previous period.
(i) Interest rate risk management
All cash balances attract a floating rate of interest. Excess funds that are not required in the short term are placed
on deposit for a period of no more than 3 months. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective
interest rate by maturity periods is set out below.
Interest rate sensitivity analysis
As the Group has no interest bearing borrowings its exposure to interest rate movements is limited to the amount
of interest income it can potentially earn on surplus cash deposits.
At 30 June 2016, if interest rates had changed by + 50 basis points and all other variables were held constant,
the Group’s after tax loss would have been $16,500 (2015: $11,700) lower as a result of higher interest income
on cash and cash equivalents. If interest rates dropped on average – 50 basis points then the Group may not
have earned any interest income which would have increased the Group’s after tax loss by $1,900 (2015:
$7,650).

(e) Credit risk management
Credit risk relates to the risk that counterparties will default on their contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and
obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial
loss from any defaults.
(f) Liquidity risk management
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities to ensure
continuity of tenure to exploration assets and to be able to conduct the Group’s business in an orderly and
professional manner. Cash deposits are only held with major financial institutions.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 15: Commitments and contingencies
Exploration expenditure commitments
In order to maintain rights of tenure to its Australian located mineral tenements, the Company is required to
outlay certain amounts in respect of rent and minimum expenditure requirements set by the Western Australian
State Government Mines Department. The Group’s commitments to meet this minimum level of expenditure are
approximately $595,000 (2015: $615,000) annually.
Exemption from incurring this annual level of expenditure may be granted where access to the tenement area is
restricted for reasons beyond the Company’s control such as where native title issues restrict the Company’s
ability to explore in the project area. The Company is not aware of any such restrictions to exploration in the
coming year and it does not anticipate seeking any exemption to reduce this annual expenditure requirement.
In order to maintain rights of tenure to its Kyrgyz Republic located mineral tenement, the Company is required
to complete an annual works program as agreed with the Kyrgyz government. If this program is not
completed in the calendar year then continued tenure to the project could be in jeopardy.
Other contingencies
The Company is a guarantor to an office lease under which its remaining exposure through to the end of the
lease in June 2018 is approximately $70,000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of White Cliff Minerals Limited (“the company”), which
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of
cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company
and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and
fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In Note 1(c), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of
Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant
ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the consolidated entity’s preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s and
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
its controlled entities’ internal control.
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial report.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or
management.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act
2001.

Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion:
(a)
the financial report of White Cliff Minerals Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and its
performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
(b)
the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note
1(c).
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1(a) to the financial report which indicates that the
continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and
commitments as they fall due are dependent upon the Group being successful in completing a capital raising
and/or asset sale/joint venture agreement in the next 12 months.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the
company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the company may be unable to realise its
assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2016.
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration
Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing
Standards.
Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of White Cliff Minerals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2016
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
