Chairman's letter
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the 2018 Annual Report for West Wits Mining
Limited (“the Company” or “West Wits”) (ASX: WWI).
The Company continued its strategic transformation during the 2018 financial period, making significant progress
toward achieving its goal of becoming a Junior Gold Producer targeting production of >80,000oz Au per annum.
Management’s key focus during the year was the further development of the Witwatersrand Basin Project
(“WBP”) which gained momentum leading into the reporting period and then accelerated substantially. Production
on the Kimberley Central Open Pit recommenced in June 2017, delivering free cashflow from October 2017 with
proceeds allowing the Company to fund WBP’s broader exploration and development.
This small-scale production project provides a unique opportunity. It has enabled West Wits to preserve capital
through organic revenues and, importantly, demonstrates to South African authorities and our stakeholders
generally that the Company can deliver a project that provides both employment opportunities and broader
benefits through the rehabilitation of historical mine works.
The Mining Right Application over WBP was submitted to the regulator in April 2018, this was a significant
milestone for the Company as upon grant it would enable production to be scaled and extended to the broader
resource area.
Our geology and engineering consultants have undertaken an exceptional amount of work during the year,
increasing the JORC Resource nearly threefold to a sizeable 3.67Moz with an average grade of 3.4g/t (2g/t
cut-off). The Company was delighted to announce an exploration target for further resource growth subsequent to
the reporting period. Multiple open-pit and underground targets have been identified to date and once the Mining
Right has been issued current operations can be quickly extended to new open-pit areas, with relatively low initial
capital expenditure. Analysis of WBP’s priority underground target, Kimberley East, demonstrated the robust
nature of the resource which restated at an increased average specified grade of 5.0g/t (3.5g/t cut-off) still
delivers 450,000 oz Au, and thereby highlights the projects capability of remaining economical through the
commodity cycle.
West Wits acquired two tenements in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Pilbara area generated a lot of
excitement after Novo Resources (TSX-V: NVO) discovery at Purdy’s Reward which compared the
conglomerates where the nuggety gold was found with that of those of the Witwatersrand Basin where our
flagship project is located. The acquisitions supported our initiatives to raise funds for ongoing activity, extend the
Company’s exploration footprint and allowed us to apply our extensive experience of the Witwatersrand style of
mineralisation to the Pilbara. The exploration sector is still investing substantial amounts in an effort to gain an
understanding of the geology of the area and initial field trips by our team confirmed extensive mineralisastion at
surface across the Tambina project area. We are looking forward to progressing plans as funding becomes
available.
Progress at the Derewo River Project has been slower than anticipated and a source of frustration to the Board.
Management continued its’ approach of working through our local partner, PT Tambang Ray Sejahtra (TRS), who
fund current activity and are more equipped to navigate the local regulatory environment. The area has
exceptional prospectivity for gold mineralisation however the Board will continue to review the strategy in the
subsequent period.
Thank you for your ongoing interest and support of West Wits.
For and on behalf of the Board
Mr Michael Quinert

Overview
West Wits Mining (ASX: WWI) (the Company or West Wits) made significant progress at its’ flagship Witwatersrand
Basin Project (WBP) over the reporting period. The Company maintained momentum from the end of FY2017 having
expanded production and JORC Resource, submitting its Mining Right application and extending West Wits’ exploration
footprint to the highly prospective Pilbara region in Western Australia. Progress at the Derewo River Gold Project
(Derewo) remains slow, Management’s strategy to work through a local alliance minimises West Wits’ ongoing capital
requirement, whilst retaining the upside exposure to the project’s exploration potential.
Delivering on a key objective, work performed during the period enabled management to increase the JORC Mineral
Resource Estimate by 2.3Moz, growing the global resource at the Company’s WBP to 3.67Moz. Importantly, 2.4Moz
is in the Measured & Indicated categories, increasing confidence in the Resource, which is fundamental when
transferring a Resource to a Reserve.
Production re-commenced at WBP’s Kimberley Central Open Pit operation during the period, delivering key benefits to
both the Company & local community groups. Total ore processed was approx. 160,000, at an average recovered
grade of 1.8g/t which delivered 8,270oz of gold and net-cash proceeds of approx. $1.4m, funding WBP’s on-going
exploration and development activities.
Current operations were made possible through a government directive to rehabilitate historical mine works on the
Company’s lease area. The directive’s aim is to remove access to illegal miners in the area, rehabilitate the land and
facilitate suburban development. Management is well progressed on this objective with Pit 1’s rehabilitation due to be
completed in October. Current operations have also enabled West Wits to deepen its’ engagement with the local
community by providing both employment on the project and funding for multiple not-for-profit local community support
initiatives.
The Company reached an important milestone during the year having submitted to the regulator its’ Mining Right
application over WBP’s lease area, approval is anticipated for 4Q FY2019. Once approved, management can extend
open-pit operations and begin underground mine development, moving West Wits towards full-scale mining. In the
interim two mining permits have also been sought, each covering a 5ha area, which allow open-pit mining whilst the
Company’s mining right approval is being determined. The mining permits are forecast to be granted by 2Q FY2019
and are expect to double current production rates.
The acquisition of two tenements (Tambina & Mt Cecelia) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia during the period
secured West Wits a foothold in an area highly prospective for conglomerate gold. The Pilbara received international
attention after Novo Resources (TSX -V: NVO) discovery at Purdy’s Reward, with comparisons made to the
Witwatersrand Basin’s geology. Management is able to leverage its’ extensive Wits expertise to gain an understanding

of the Pilbara projects geology and advance exploration. Three field trips to Tambina, which has three mining leases,
mapped a strike length of 1,300m of gold mineralisation at surface with very positive assay results of rock-chip samples
received.
West Wits maintains its’ strategy of partnering with a large, well connected and experienced local group to progress
the Indonesian subsidiary’s Derewo Project. The Company’s main project partner, PT Tambang Ray Sejahtra (TRS),
has continued to lobby various levels of the Indonesian Government to confirm the Clean and Clear (C&C)
certification of the Company’s tenements (IUP’s) and also secure the alluvial site. The Company is optimistic this
goal will be achieved albeit frustrated with the level of progress.
Witwatersrand Basin Project, South Africa
1) PRODUCTION – Kimberley Central Open Pit
a. Background
Mining of the Kimberley Central Open Pit has been permitted through a government directive to rehabilitate historic
mine works across a 1,500m section of Kimberley Reef outcrop. The rehabilitation involves the mining of historical
crown pillars through open pit operations which, once backfilled, remove access by illegal miners to the historical mine
works and allow for urban development.
West Wits’ strategy has been to partner with a local head contractor, Elandiwave, which is made up of a consortium of
seasoned South African mining professionals and includes Wests Wits Black Equity Empowerment (BEE) partner.
Under the agreement, West Wits received 60% of net proceeds from Pit 1 & 2, with net proceeds from Pits 3, 4 & 5
split on a 50:50 basis. The agreement also required Elandiwave to fund the initial working capital, which was repaid
from net proceeds in the first 4 months of operations.
b. Production
Kimberly Central Open Pit has been operating continuously since recommencing in June 2017, the current mine
schedule forecasts production to be completed in February 2019. Average monthly ore production was 13,500t for a
total of 165,000t. Monthly production varied considerably over the period due to the nature of small-scale operations,
which limits the Mine Planner’s ability to smooth out production for impacts such as the commissioning of new pits or
seasonal heavy rain. Despite this, the operations team delivered on Management’s production target range of 10,000
– 15,000t ore per month.
Pit 1, the largest of the five planned pits, was completed in May 2018 having produced approx. 103,000t ore at an
average recovered grade of 1.78g/t, delivering 5,890oz with a final strip ratio of 10:1. Pit 2 production was completed
in July 2018 (post period) after 10 months of operations, the pit covered a smaller area and produced approx. 39,000t
of ore at final strip ratio of 13:1. Combined Pit 1 & 2 production since operations recommenced (June 2017) hit the
forecasted 90,000t of targeted high-grade ore (~2g/t) however an incremental 18,400t of lower grade ore (~1g/t) was
also produced. This reduced the recovered grade however added to the net proceeds of the project as the low-grade
ore is in the hanging wall of the target reefs and had to be mined to access them and therefore only incurs additional
transport and processing costs.
Pit 3 (pictured) commenced production in November 2017, near the end of the reporting period the geology team
identified a continuation of high-grade Kimberley reef at the western end of the pit which has enabled the extension of
planned production by a further 3 months and will make Pit 3 comparable in size to Pit 1. The extension of the reef has
required our mine engineers to redesign access to the pit, resulting in a higher stripping ratio from May – August 2018,
however this is set to decrease through the remainder of the pit’s life and is expected to deliver material benefits.
April 2018 saw the start of operations at Pit 4, shortly after commencement it was identified that the Kimberley reef
band being targeted extended to be in close proximity to the scheduled area of Pit 5. This resulted in the mine
engineer extending Pit 4 to encompass the planned Pit 5 area.

c. Processing
WWI toll treats its ore through third party mills, the majority of production (135,000t) throughout the period was
processed at Sibanye Stillwater’s Ezulwini plant located approximately 40km’s away, with a small portion (25,000t) of
lower grade ore (0.9 -1.7g/t) processed at the Mogale plant in the five months to March 2018.
Dry ore tonnes paid during the period totaled 143,000t at an average grade of 1.8g/t for total production of 8,270oz Au.
Recovered grade is below the targeted 2.0g/t, this is largely attributable to inclusion of low-grade material which
operators mine through to access the higher-grade reef. Mine management is continuing to focus on mining methods
to limit dilution and ensure grade of production meets the 2.0g/t target.
The Company’s Board intends to continue its’ strategy of toll treating production as there is significant excess milling
capacity at multiple plants within close proximity of the project. This enables WWI to obtain highly competitive rates
and de-risks the project by reducing capital costs associated with the construction and operation of a plant, including
associated management of tailings. Average processing costs were approx. AU$33.50/t, comprising of AU$24.80/t in
tolling fees and AU$8.70/t for transport costs to the mill.
d. Rehabilitation
West Wits has made significant progress on a key outcome of the current open-pit project, completing 90% of the
rehabilitation of Pit 1 at the time of reporting. To rehabilitate the area under the government directive, operators mine
the remnant crown pillars which encompass the historical mine shafts to a depth of 15-30m. The mine shaft is then
concrete plugged at the base of the pit, the open-pit area is backfilled and flattened, removing the illegal miners
operating in the area access to the old mine works and readies the area for urban development (pictured).

e. Proceeds from Operations
Net proceeds from operations attributable to West Wits during the period totaled approx. AU$1.4m, providing funding
for on-going exploration and development activities. The average price received for production was AU$1,680. Total
costs for the Kimberley Central Open Pit operation, including rehab and after allocation to contract partner Elandiwave,
was approx. AU$1,500 (10.4% margin).
The C1 costs averaged approx. AU$1,350/oz (pre-distribution to Elandiwave) with a range of AU$970-2,140/oz per
month, which demonstrates the variability associated with small-scale production. Management expects costs to be in
the lower quartile of that range when benefiting from economies of scale once the Mining Right application is granted
and open-pit operations are extended to multiple targets.

2) EXPLORATION
a) Background
WWI’s WBP comprises of two historic mining centres, Durban Deep and Rand Leases, within the Witwatersrand Basin
and forms part of the world’s largest goldfield. Mining has been taking place within these areas since the goldfields
were discovered in 1886, during that time up to seven different gold bearing conglomerate horizons were mined from
surface down to 3,100m. Total production for the combined Durban Deep and Rand Lease areas was >40 Moz Au at
grade exceeding 5 g/t Au and the historical mine had a 12.8Moz Mineral Resource Estimate (JORC 1997) at the time
of closure in 2000 (ASX: WWI prospectus 15 November 2007). Harmony Gold Mining (JSE: HAR) reported production
of 86,000 oz of gold for FY2017 at its Doornkop Mine situated directly adjacent to WBP’s western boundary.
b) Resource
WWI’s JORC Resource grew by 2.27Moz as result of work performed during the period, the growth represents a
significant achievement for the Company and increased the Global Resource to 3.65Moz with 2.4Moz in Measured and
Indicated categories.
Table 1 (below) shows the Global JORC Resource announced on 16th July 20181 and also takes into account depletion
resulting from tonnes removed in the Kimberley Central Open Pit operations. A recent resource estimation focused on
the K9B band of the Kimberley East Reef package and increased the Global Resource by 395,000oz (Measured
+213,000oz, Indicated -255,000oz & Inferred +437,000oz) when compared to the Company’s Resource as at the 30th
June 2018.

WWI had previously only considered resources to 400m for the inclusion in published documents. The inclusion of
deeper resources within the Kimberley Reef Outcrop (East) – mineralisation between 400-1,500m below surface – was
made possible following an evaluation by Bara Engineering Consulting (Pty) Ltd which identified technical means to
access these areas.
Effectively, the new MRE captures both historic mining and surface data that has been subjected to an extensive
exercise of historical data recapture and validation followed by a new Mineral Resource Estimation (MRE) utilising
ordinary kriging. The modern estimation techniques to create domains of higher grade “pay shoots” and lower grade
“overbank” areas that are interpreted to result from the primary geological features of the reef. This is crucial as it allows
for the identification of large high-grade areas that will be targeted for underground production.

West Wits’ released analysis of the declared resource on Kimberley East area, the first underground target area on 31st
August 2018 (post period) which demonstrated the robust nature of the resource. Utilising differing cut-off grades when
re-examining the K9B reef, as may appropriate when mining underground, when the cut-off grade is increased to 3.5g/t
(from 2.0g/t) the average grade increases to 5.0g/t for 450,000oz au (from 3.4g/t for 1.2Moz) which illustrates the
potential of the K9B reef to support underground mining in a variety of circumstances2.
c) Exploration Target
The 31st August 2018 ASX release also identified an Exploration Target of between 600,000oz (6.5M tonnes at 3.0g/t)
and 1,000,000oz (8.0M tonnes at 4.0g/t) on the same area of the Kimberley East reef package2. The target focuses
on the K9A reef which sits 10m stratigraphically above the K9B reef and has been extensively mined on the historic
Durban Deep portion of the Witwatersrand Basin Project. The Exploration Target is based on an assumed 2.0 g/t cut-
off, it utilises previous mining to the west of the area under consideration and the well understood geology of the
Kimberley reefs where current open pit mining is taking place at the Kimberley Central Open Pit. The potential quantity
and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a
Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource

3) LICENSING
a) Mining Right
West Wits currently holds a Prospecting Right over the two lease areas however the Company reached an important
milestone during the period having submitted its’ Mining Right application which received formal acceptance from South
Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) in May 2018 for processing. Once regulatory approval is secured, it
opens options to have concurrent mining operations at several locations across the WBP, enabling the production
platform to be rapidly scaled. This is a key step in the Board’s strategic plan to transform WWI into a junior miner with
successful operations in the Witwatersrand Basin, producing >80,000oz Au per annum.
Securing mining rights is a rigorous process, as the regulator enforces strict environmental standards and ongoing
rehabilitation obligations. Moreover, it must be shown to the regulator that West Wits has engaged with numerous
stakeholders and community groups to ensure there is full consultation with respect to the proposed mining project and
its impacts. To this end, management is fully engaged with nearby communities and other stakeholders. With
rehabilitation of Pit 1 & 2’s mined out areas of the Kimberley Central open-pit well underway, we are already
demonstrating West Wits ability to deliver on community and stakeholder requirements. Management expects to know
the outcome of the approval process by 4Q FY2019.
b) Mining Permit
WWI’s team in South Africa have submitted two mining permit applications to the DMR. Under South Africa’s regulation,
a company can apply for a mining permit whilst its’ mining right application is being assessed and each permit allows
open-pit mining on a five-hectare area. The areas applied for are Main & South Central and Kimberley West open-pits
which were selected primarily for the expected grade, with the earlier believed to be materially higher than the circa 2
g/t Au currently being achieved at the Kimberley Central open pit.
WWI currently anticipates the permit approval process to be completed in November 2018, as the regulator places a
heavy emphasis on legacy environmental rehabilitation efforts and community engagement. Notably, however, WWI
has already demonstrated to the regulator – with its efforts on Kimberly Central open-pit – that it continues to meet all
key obligations.
4) COMMUNITY
West Wits is proactively engaged with communities to build strong, mutually beneficial relationships based on trust and
respect, to ensure the success and sustainability of both the local communities and our business.
The Witwatersrand Basin Project is located on the western fringe of Johannesburg, an area with several communities
who identify unemployment as a key concern. West Wits is committed to supporting the local population with most of
the Company’s initiatives are focused on sustainable job creation through; learning & development programs,
supporting new industries and the provision of basic services to the underprivileged & unemployed.
Two of West Wits’ cornerstone community partner groups are the Mandelaville Crisis Centre and the Sol Plaatjie
Community Soup Kitchen.
Mandelaville Crisis Centre
The centre was established in 2002 to provide a number of services to combat poverty and works in partnership with
government & civil society, to enhance the lives of communities through economic emancipation and moral leadership.
West Wits has sponsored several local community members seeking employment through a market garden program.
The project develops skills to not only grow fruit & vegetables, but also sell produce at the Johannesburg market and
reinvest the proceeds back into the project to ensure its sustainability. Any excess produce is distributed amongst the
disadvantaged in the community.
Management donated three desktop computers to the centre’s computer lab, multiplying the number of students that
can be taught in a single class by approximately 50%. The donation has expanded the reach of the various learning
8
programs, increasing class sizes and improving computer literacy of the local community to better enhance their
prospects of securing jobs in modernised industries.

Witwatersrand Basin Project
The Kimberley Central Open-Pit project has over 20 local community members in current employment. West Wits’
mining right application submitted to the DMR identified that a minimum of 500-700 employees would be required when
the planned mine was at full capacity, making it a major employer in the area.

In addition to unemployment, crime is also a key concern of community leaders. A significant contributor is the
establishment of the illegal mining communities who perform artisanal mining in the historical mine works. Not only is
the mining unregulated and unsafe, the illegal activities also bring other crime problems to the area such as gun-
violence over territorial disputes, drugs and prostitution.
One of the key elements of West Wits’ Kimberley Central Open Pit project has been the rehabilitation of historical
mineworks near surface to remove access to the old mine shafts by illegal miners. The rehabilitated areas will enable
the landowners to extend urban development, including low cost housing, parks and playing fields, providing a safer
environment for locals. The company is also working with local stakeholders on the potential development of a market
garden precinct on rehabilitated areas, creating an alternative industry with sustainable employment opportunities.
Pilbara, Australia
a) Background
Opportunistically, management acquired two tenements (Tambina & Mt Cecelia) in the Pilbara region of Western
Australia during the period, securing a foothold in an area which has recently seen a “21st Gold Rush” after Novo
Resources (TSX -V: NVO) discovery at Purdy’s Reward. The area forms part of the Lower Fortescue Group which is
highly prospective for conglomerate hosted gold and has been commonly compared to the Witwatersrand Basin region.
The purchase of each tenement was coupled with a capital raising, securing $2.2m (gross), which enabled the Board
to shore up the balance sheet, ensuring ongoing development of the Company’s projects and allow the Company to
apply its extensive knowledge and experience from the Witwatersrand Basin to this new frontier.

b) Tambina Project
The Company completed the Tambina acquisition in January 2018, the project comprises of three mining licenses
which cover a total area of 102ha. The project is located in the east Pilbara, circa 150km southeast of Port Hedland,
and is accessed via a well-maintained road, that services Atlas Iron’s Mt Webber mine, and exploration tracks. The
key point of difference with the project is the three mining leases, as it means WWI could fast-track the commencement
of any identified opportunity for mining operations materially faster than many peers as most regulatory requirements
have been cleared.
Three field trips were performed during the reporting period, including due diligence, with the key purpose of identifying
and mapping the gold bearing conglomerate horizons across the area. Assays of 73 rock-chip samples collected from
26 sites during field trips, all returned anomalous results >0.17 g/t Au, while 50 were > 0.5 g/t Au. The best 12 results
returned values >6 g/t, with the highest 185 g/t over 2m. The geology team has now mapped gold mineralisation at
surface for over 1,300m of strike, the prospective zone is with a series of gossanous conglomerate horizons containing
abundant chert clasts.

(continued)
The Company has assessed options regarding the next phase of project development, including shallow drilling or low-
cost trial mining programs. Management is currently prioritising the allocation of resources towards the Witwatersrand
Basin Project whilst it’s in this critical phase of the mining right application with small-scale production which delivers
free cashflow. However, exploration activity of peers in the region is closely followed by the team and management
plans to advance the project as soon as capacity becomes available.
c) Mt Cecelia Project
The Company completed the acquisition of the Mt Cecelia project in December 2017, the project covers an area of 224
sq km and is located in the eastern Pilbara some 150km ENE of Marble Bar. Of critical geological significance is the
fact that some 215ha of the project area is comprised of the Hardey Formation of the Lower Fortescue Group, which is
highly prospective for conglomerate hosted gold.
The project is currently subject to the granting process for an exploration license. Negotiations are being held with the
Native Title Parties to complete the Heritage Agreements, whilst negotiations are progressing, there are several issues
that remain unresolved however management is confident of a positive outcome for both parties. Once the exploration
license is granted, the geology team is ready to implement the first phase of the exploration program.

local groups continues to be frustrated by the regulatory process regarding the Clean & Clear (C&C) certification of the
Derewo River Project’s tenements (IUP’s).
Whilst no formal progress has been made beyond the official recommendation for C&C status of the approximate
85,000ha of approximate 127,000ha area covered by PTMQ’s IUP, TRS has continued to navigate the local regulatory
process and is currently securing a funding partner to execute the final stages of their plan to both receive the C&C
certification and secure the alluvial site.
Management’s strategy has reduced West Wits ongoing capital investment with TRS bearing the cost of procuring the
C&C Certificates, reinstatement of the balance of the original IUP’s and securisation of the alluvial site.

Principal activities
The economic entity's principal continued activities in the course of the financial year were to explore for gold at
the mining tenements situated in Western Australia, South Africa and Papua Province, Indonesia.
There have been no significant changes in the nature of those principal activities during the financial year.
Dividends
The Directors did not pay or declare any dividends during the financial year (2017: Nil). The Directors do not
recommend the payment of a dividend in respect of the 2018 financial year.
Review of operations
Information on the operations and financial position of the group and its business strategies and prospects is set
out in the review of operations and activities on pages 2 to 12 of this annual report.
Operating results
The consolidated results for the economic entity for the year were as follows:
$1.00
Revenue
Net loss for the year after tax
2018
$'000
$8,739
($1,390)
2017
$'000
$559
($571)
The consolidated loss after income tax for the year is $1.390 million (2017: $0.571 million). The net operating and
investing cash outflows for the year were $1.215 million (2017: $0.564 million). The cash balance of
the
economic entity as at the 30 June 2018 was AUD $1.209 million (2017: AUD $0.165 million).
Material business risks
The economic entity operates within the gold mining exploration and development industry. The economic entity
is subject to a range of internal and external business risks, many of which lie outside the control of the Board
and management. The material identified risks include:
Foreign Exchange: The economic entity’s main business activities are undertaken within South Africa and
Indonesia with the vast proportion of expenditure denominated in South African Rand, Indonesian Rupiah and
United States Dollars. Each exchange rate is free floating and therefore exposed to currency market fluctuations
leaving the potential for negative price movements to impact on operating costs. Management attempts to
mitigate some currency risk, where possible, through buying the local currencies when the currencies are weak
and keeping those currencies in reserve for future use.
16
West Wits Mining Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2018
(continued)
Review of operations (continued)
Material business risks (continued)
Government Policy: Indonesia and South Africa have undergone significant political change over the past 20
years with each political regime continuing to evolve. Management continues to engage with all
levels of
government, law enforcement agencies and regulators in order to maintain that it acts as a good corporate citizen
and adheres to all local rules. However, the overseas jurisdictions in which the economic entity operates are
prone to political change and nationalistic focussed policies which could adversely impact upon the Company’s
operations.
Indigenous Relationships: Relationships with the economic entity’s local indigenous partners in Indonesia are
critical to the success of the economic entity’s operation at Derewo. There are also local laws under which the
economic entity must adhere to when working with its indigenous partners. As such the economic entity engages
with its indigenous partners on a regular basis to ensure that all requirements and expectations are being met.
Illegal mining operations: The economic entity has experienced many challenges in dealing with illegal mining
operations on the tenements. Although the actions of these artisinal miners are contrary to the laws of Indonesia,
it is often difficult to have them removed. Their presence on the tenements has caused delays in the economic
entity’s exploration and processing activities. The economic entity continues to work with local government
agencies to have the miners removed within the boundaries of local & federal laws.
Exploration: The economic entity has a significant amount of historical exploration data which has provided a
number of anomalies to assess as possible sources of gold in the region. However, there can be no certainty that
these anomalies will involve an economic resource or are in fact the source of gold. Furthermore the terrain and
vastness of the tenement package present significant hurdles in undertaking exploration.
Political activism: Anti-government political activism in Papua is ongoing. The economic entity continues to
work with all levels of government to minimise any impact, which could be experienced in the future.
Event since the end of the financial year
No matter or circumstance has occurred subsequent to period end that has significantly affected, or may
significantly affect, the operations of the group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the group
or economic entity in subsequent financial years.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
The likely developments in the economic entity’s operations, to the extent that such matters can be commented
upon, are covered in the Review of Operations in this annual report and above. In the opinion of the Directors,
disclosure of detailed information regarding the expected results of those operations in financial years after the
current financial year is not predictable at this stage, or may prejudice the interests of the economic entity;
accordingly this information has not been included in this report.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
During the year, the economic entity's share capital increased by $4.9 million as a result of 262 million new
ordinary shares issued. These shares were issued:
• under the private placements and share purchase plan taken place during the year to fund the acquisition of
100% interest in the Mt Cecelia and Tambina projects, and working capital;
• to the vendors of Mt Cecelia and Tambina projects as part of considerations; and
• to the directors of the Company to settle outstanding director fees from prior years.
The economic entity also noted a significant increase in revenue from the production activities in South Africa,
generating approximately $8.7 million in revenue for the year, refer to the Review of operations and activities
section for further details.
In the opinion of the Directors, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the economic
entity during the financial year under review not otherwise disclosed in this annual report.

West Wits Mining Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2018
(continued)
Environmental regulation
The economic entity’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under the law of
the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory of Australia. The economic entity is regulated by environmental
requirements in Indonesia and the Republic of South Africa which requirements are being complied with and
monitored on an ongoing basis.
Remuneration report (audited)
The Directors present the West Wits Mining Limited 2018 remuneration report, outlining key aspects of our
remuneration policy and framework, and remuneration awarded this year.
(A) Remuneration Policy
Remuneration of all Executive and Non-Executive Directors, and Officers of the economic entity is determined by
the remuneration and nomination committee.
The economic entity is committed to remunerating Senior Executives and Executive Directors in a manner that is
consistent with "best practice" (including the interests of shareholders) and market-competitive by ensuring fees
are appropriate and in line with the market. Remuneration packages are based on fixed component, determined
by the Executives' position, experience and performance, and may be satisfied via cash or equity.
Non-Executive Directors are remunerated out of the aggregate amount approved by shareholders and at a level
that is consistent with industry standards. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance based bonuses
and prior shareholder approval is required to participate in any issue of equity. No retirement benefits are payable
other than statutory superannuation, if applicable.
Remuneration policy versus company financial performance
Over the past ten years since the Company was incorporated, it has listed on the Australian Securities Exchange
and acquired mining tenements in South Africa and in Papua Province,
Indonesia. Exploration activities
commenced in January 2008 within the South African tenements and August 2011 within the Papua Province,
Indonesia.
The nature of the economic entity's mining activities is highly speculative and can provide high returns if
successful. The speculative nature of these activities and recent global economic trends, have been factors
which have affected the economic entity's share price performance and shareholder wealth over the period.
The economic entity's remuneration policy is based on industry practice rather than the economic entity's
performance and takes into account the risk and liabilities assumed by the Directors and Executives as a result of
their involvement in the speculative activities undertaken by the economic entity. Directors and Executives are
fairly compensated for the extensive work they undertake.
No portion of the Directors and key management personnel remuneration was linked to performance during the
financial year. No performance-based cash payments or equity were paid/issued during the financial year (2017:
Nil).
Use of remuneration consultants
Due to the size and nature of the organisation, the Company has not engaged remuneration consultants to
review and measure its policy and strategy. The board reviews remuneration strategy periodically and may
engage remuneration consultants in the future to assist with this process.
(B) Remuneration report
(a) Details of remuneration
Key management personnel (KMP) of the group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility
for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the group, directly or indirectly, including any Director
(whether executive or otherwise) of the group receiving the highest remuneration. Details of the remuneration of

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2018
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
This note provides a list of all significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise
stated. The financial statements are for the group consisting of West Wits Mining Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of
the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements of the
economic entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The financial statements cover the economic entity of West Wits Mining Limited and controlled entities (the
“economic entity” or “group”). West Wits Mining Limited is a listed for profit public company, incorporated and
domiciled in Australia.
(i) Reporting basis and conventions
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the economic entity in the preparation
of the financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(b) Going concern
The economic entity reported a net loss for the year after income tax and before eliminating non-controlling
interests of $1.39 million (2017: $0.57 million) and net operating cash outflows of $0.52 million (2017: inflow of
$0.05 million). At 30 June 2018 the Economic Entity had $1.21 million Cash at Bank (2017: $0.17 million), and
net current liabilities of $1.09 million (2017: $1.98 million).
The Economic Entity has commenced gold extraction activities on the Sol Plaatijes project (SPP) since
September 2016. The Company also intends to commence extraction activities of gold deposits identified in
certain areas of interest at its tenements in Papua in the foreseeable future. The ability of the Company to get
unrestricted access to its tenements in Papua has been hampered over the past 12 months by illegal miners
onsite. The Indonesian Government has continued to indicate that they will assist in the removal of the illegal
miners from the tenements sites. The Company is awaiting a firm date commitment from the Government, for this
to commence.
Based on these future activities, the following matters have been considered by the directors in assessing the
economic entity’s continuing viability, its ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to pay its debts as
and when they fall due,
• Cash flow will be generated from the SPP with an agreement in place for a minimum processing of 12,000
tonnes per month, which translates to approx. $170,000 per month in West Wits’ share of the proceeds after
processing costs.
•
•
•
As at the date of this report the Company has the ability to issue up to 172.8 million ordinary shares under
ASX listing rules 7.1 and 7.1A. At the share price of $0.019 on 30 June 2018, this would give the Company
the ability to raise up to approximately $3.3million.
The continued support and payment of creditors and directors on agreed terms between the parties,
The ability of economic entity to scale down its operations or redirect exploration expenditure if required,
including the ability to defer amounts payable to directors as far as necessary should sufficient working
capital not be available, and
Based on the successful execution of the above the Directors are satisfied that the Economic Entity has access
to sufficient working capital to enable it to pay its debts as and when they fall due for a period of at least twelve
months from the date of this report, and for that reason the financial statements have been prepared on the basis
that the economic entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity,
realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

(continued)
1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Going concern (continued)
Should the economic entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and
extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated
in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the economic entity not
continue as a going concern.
(c) New accounting standards and interpretations
During the current year the economic entity adopted all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory. Adoption of these Standards did not have
any effect on the financial position or performance of the economic entity.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.
The following Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but
are not yet effective and therefore have not been adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30
June 2018:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2018
(continued)
1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Accounting policies
(i) Principles of consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity West Wits Mining Limited has the power to control the financial and operating
policies of, so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The economic entity controls an entity when the economic
entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The existence and effect of potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company
controls another entity. Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to
the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the financial statements.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised
profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed
where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the Company.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have
been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
Non-controlling interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item
in the consolidated financial statements.
(ii) Plant and equipment
Depreciation
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the
economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Plant & Equipment: 10% - 33%
The assets' residual values and useful
reporting period.
lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic
benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are
taken to profit or loss.
(iii) Financial assets
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised and carried at amortised cost using effective interest method less a
provision for any uncollectible debts.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the economic entity assess whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
The amount of the impairment allowance for financial assets carried at cost is the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of
return for similar financial assets.

(continued)
1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Accounting policies (continued)
(iv) Intangibles
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are initially measured at their fair value at the date
of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Finite life intangible
assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised
in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net
lives of finite life
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful
intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful
life are
accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
(v) Cash and cash equivalents
institutions, other
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(vi) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the economic entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably
measured.
(vii) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the economic entity's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by
employees up to the end of the reporting period.
Short-term and Long-term employee benefits:
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long
service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being
measured reliably.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the
remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long term
employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the
Company in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
(viii)Income tax
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. No deferred income tax will be
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that
no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive
sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of
deductibility imposed by the law.
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed
items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the end of the
reporting period.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available
against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or
liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to
items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

(continued)
1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Accounting policies (continued)
(ix) Income
Interest income is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the
financial assets.
Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
All income is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) or value added tax (VAT).
(x) Goods and Services Tax (GST)/ Value Added Tax (VAT)
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST/VAT, except where the amount of
GST/VAT incurred is not recoverable from the Taxation Authority. In these circumstances the GST/VAT is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and
payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST/VAT.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST/VAT component of
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(xi) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the economic entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired.
If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less
costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value
over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the economic entity estimates
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(xii) Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration to be
paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the economic entity. They are
subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Payables to related parties are measured at fair value initially then subsequently measured at amortised cost
using effective interest method. Interest, when charged by the lender is recognised as an expense on an accruals
basis.
(xiii)Leases

is or contains a lease is based on the substance of
A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor
effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or
if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal
component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability.
Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of
the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain
ownership at the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(xiv)Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each entity is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the
parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
date of
the year-end exchange rate.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair
values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the
extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Economic entity companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the economic
entity’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
•
•
•
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of
the transaction, for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the economic entity’s
foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.
(xv) Exploration and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area
of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through
successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits
reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to
an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is
made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life
of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry
forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are
included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant,
equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the
mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and
technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site

(d) Accounting policies (continued)
Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a
reduction of the share proceeds received.
(xvii)Share-based payments
Equity settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value for shares and
listed options is measured using market value. Fair value for unlisted options is measured by use of the
Black-Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best
estimate for the effects of non-transferability or exercise restrictions.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model also takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the
impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected
dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of
together with non-market vesting
conditions.
the option,
(xviii)Earnings per share
Basic earnings/(losses) per share is determined by dividing the result from ordinary activities after related income
tax expense by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. Diluted
to basic earnings/(losses) per share as the potentially dilutive
earnings/(losses) per share are equivalent
securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings/(losses) per share because the effect
is
anti-dilutive.
(xix)Rounding of amounts
The economic entity is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports)
Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’.
Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that instrument to the nearest thousand dollars,
or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.
(xx) Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence
commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of
the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes
determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are
expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through
successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial
production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could
impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised
costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this
determination is made.
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical
knowledge and best available current information and that capitalised exploration costs are expected to be
recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest.
The value attributed to share options issued is an estimate calculated using an appropriate mathematical formula
based on an option pricing model. The choice of models and the resultant option value require assumptions to be
made in relation to the likelihood and timing of the conversion of the options to shares and the value of volatility of
the price of the underlying shares.
In order to apply the appropriate accounting approach for an acquisition transaction, the Group is required to
determine whether the acquisition is of a business (and therefore within the scope of
IFRS 3 Business
Combinations), or is of an asset or group of assets that do not constitute a business and is therefore outside the
scope of IFRS 3, which includes judgements and estimates applied by management.
(xxi)Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the
discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting
period.

(xxii)Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue
are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future
economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities as
described below. The group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of
customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
The specific accounting policies for the group’s main types of revenue are explained in note 2.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the group
reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the
original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest
income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they
are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. However, the investment may need to be tested for impairment as a
consequence, refer note .
Revenue from mining production
Revenue from mining production is brought to account when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have
transferred to the buyer and selling prices are known or can be reasonably estimated.

The economic entity operates in one operating segment being mining and exploration, and its activities can be
divided into 3 reportable segments based on reports received and reviewed by the Board.
The three reportable segments are based on 3 distinct geographical
locations, South Africa, Indonesia and
Australia. Mining and exploration activities are carried out only on the South African and Indonesian segments;
whereas the Australian segment reflects only the administrative arm of the business that supports the mining and
exploration activities in the other two geographical locations.

(a) Acquisition of Northern Reserves Pty Ltd
On 15 November 2017, the group completed the acquisition of Northern Reserves Pty Ltd ("Northern Reserves")
via the issue of 52,000,000 new ordinary shares at a deemed price of $0.017 per share and 10,000,000 unlisted
options at nil consideration. Prior to the completion, the group executed a Share Purchase Agreement with the
vendors of Northern Reserves and 3,000,000 new ordinary shares at a deemed price of $0.017 per share were
issued as the part of the consideration. A further 45,000,000 million shares and a cash payment of $75,000 will
be issued upon achievement of certain milestones upon the grant of the license application and commencement
of a reverse circulation-percussion drilling program within the area comprised in the license application. Northern
Reserves is the holder of one application in the Pilbara region, called the Mt Cecelia Project (EL 45/5045) that is
targeting high-grade conglomerate gold mineralisation associated with the Lower Fortescue Group.
The acquisition was not considered a business combination as defined in AASB 3 Business combination as
Northern Reserves was not considered to be carrying on a business. As such the acquisition has been treated as
an asset acquisition with the fair value of the asset being the consideration. The acquisition also has contingent
consideration, as at 30 June 2018, to be paid upon achieving certain milestones as discussed above.

was paid to the vendor. The vendor is entitled to a further 30,000,000 fully paid ordinary West Wits shares upon
the satisfaction of certain milestones and the grant of an aggregate net smelter royalty of 2% of net revenue from
production within the three mining leases.

14 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
(a) Contingent liabilities
The group had contingent liabilities at 30 June 2017 in respect of the Dead Rent liability in Indonesia.
In 2012 the Company’s Indonesian subsidiary PTMQ, submitted applications for Clean and Clear title on IUP’s to
the Indonesian Government. To date, the Clean and Clear title has not been granted.
As part of the administrative grant process, the Company is required to pay Dead Rent on all IUP’s held. The
Company is of the opinion that a Dead Rent liability exist when:
• Clean and Clear is granted on the IUP’s
• On the actual titles granted
• Only on the calculated area confirmed
• From the point of time title is granted
• At a rate appropriate for the period
At 30 June 2017 there was no clarity on the quantification of the variables to which a liability could be reliably
measured. Also, if for some reason the Government denies the Company’s grant of title, no Dead Rent would be
payable.
Due to the above factors, the Company is of the opinion that it could not reliability measure the extent of the
actual liability for Dead Rent and as such a Contingent liability existed.
During the process of
assessment
23,595,400,656 or AUD 2,308,238 existed as at 30 June 2017.
the 2017 Audit, the Company’s Indonesian auditors disagreed with the Company’s
IDR
that a Contingent Liability exists. They were of
the opinion that a current
liability of
During the year ended 30 June 2018, management has received documentation and advice from local authorities
which indicated the dead rent liability to be approximately $250,000. This amount was recognised as accrued
liability as at 30 June 2018, and capitalised under exploration expenditure for the Derewo River Gold Project.
Subsequent to the recognition of this liability, as at 30 June 2018 other than the obligation to issue equity as
disclosed in Note 9(a)(b), the group had no contingent liabilities.
(b) Contingent assets
The group had no contingent assets at 30 June 2018.

No matter or circumstance has occurred subsequent to period end that has significantly affected, or may
significantly affect, the operations of the group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the group
or economic entity in subsequent financial years.
18 Capital management
The economic entity's policy is to maintain a strong and flexible capital base to maintain investor, creditor and
market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The board monitors the return on capital,
which the economic entity defines as total shareholders’ equity attributable to members of West Wits Mining
Limited divided by the quantity of shares on issue.
The economic entity is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The economic entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Management have established risk management policies to identify and analyse the risks faced by the company

The economic entity is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency
other than the respective functional currency of each company within the group.

subsidiary loan requirements. This is kept to an acceptable level by buying foreign currency at spot rates only to
fund short term cash requirements.
The economic entity's exposure to foreign exchange risk has not changed from the previous year. The economic
entity does not make use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign exchange risk.
The carrying amount of the economic entity's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary

to the economic entity.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient assets to meet liabilities as they fall due.
The economic entity is exposed to liquidity risk via the quantity and type of financial assets and liabilities it holds.
The board ensures that the economic entity can meet its financial obligations as they fall due by maintaining
sufficient reserves of cash, continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, matching the maturity profiles
of financial assets and liabilities, and identifying when they need to raise additional funding from the equity
markets.
The economic entity’s exposure to liquidity risk has remained unchanged from the previous year.

West Wits Mining Limited
Independent auditor’s report to members
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report West Witts Mining Limited. (the Company and its
controlled entities (the Group)), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial
position as at 30 June 2018, 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, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’
declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group, is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its
financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations
2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are
independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional
and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the
Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, has
been provided on the date of this report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net
loss of $1,390,000 during the year ended 30 June 2018 and, as of that date, the Group’s current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,085,000. As stated in Note 1, these events or
conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty
exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other Matter
The audit report for 30 June 2017 was qualified on a going concern basis due to the consolidated
entity’s non-recognition of a provision of $2,308,238 for Dead Rent on all IUP’s held in relation to
mining permits held in Indonesia. This situation indicated the existence of a material uncertainty that
cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the
current year, the consolidated entity has been able to quantify their Dead Rent liability to a value of
approximately $250,000 and has recorded this as a liability.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.
CARRYING VALUE OF EXPLORATION AND EVAUATION ASSETS
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1 and 9
The Group has incurred exploration costs for
their gold mining projects in South Africa and
Indonesia over a number of years. There is a
risk that the accounting criteria associated with
the capitalisation of exploration and evaluation
expenditure may no longer be appropriate.
An impairment review is only required if an
impairment trigger is identified.
Due to the nature of the gold industry, indicators
of impairment could include:
— Changes to exploration plans;
— Loss of rights to tenements;
— Changes to reserve estimates;
— Costs of extraction and production; or
— Exchange rate factors.
How our audit addressed it
Our audit procedures included:
— A review of the directors’ assessment of the
criteria for the capitalisation of exploration
expenditure and evaluation of whether there
are any indicators for impairment to
capitalised cost;
— Understanding and vouching the underlying
contractual entitlement to explore and
evaluate each area of interest, including an
evaluation of the requirement to renew that
tenement at its expiry;
— Examining project spend per each area of
interest and comparing this spend to the
minimum expenditure requirements set out
in the underlying tenement expenditure
plan; and
— Examining project spend to each area of
interest to ensure that it is directly
attributable to that area of interest.
We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s
disclosures in respect of exploration costs.
ACQUISITION OF EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS
How our audit addressed it
Our audit procedures included:
— Examining the legal documentation
associated with the purchases to
understand the key terms and conditions of
the acquisitions; and
— Examining the treatment of the initial
purchase consideration and the deferred
consideration for each acquisition was in
accordance with the requirements of
Australian Accounting Standards.
We also assessed the adequacy of the Group’s
disclosures in respect of the acquisitions in the
financial report.
Area of focus
Refer also to notes 1 and 9
On 25 October 2017, the Group completed the
acquisition of Northern Reserves Pty Ltd
(Northern) for an initial consideration of $1.1
million funded by way of ordinary shares and
share options. Subsequent issues of shares will
be granted on competition of certain milestones
per the term of the purchase agreement.
On 30 January 2018 the Group completed the
acquisition of the Tambina Gold Project for an
initial consideration of $1.84 made up of
ordinary shares and cash payments.
Subsequent issues of shares will be granted on
competition of certain milestones per the term of
the purchase agreement.
The Acquisitions have been treated by
management as asset acquisitions.
Determining the appropriate accounting
treatment for the transactions was complex and
required significant judgements and estimates
by the Group.
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 but does not
include the financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors 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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these financial statements is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:

This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
