3. Review of Operations
The Company completed a busy half year to 31 December 2008 with the following activities upon its ASX listing in June 2008:
Cape Three Points Project
-
Positive results were generated from the exploration programs derived from the data compilation, interpretation and soil sampling completed during the period. The exploration program on the Satin and Morrison Projects has now further defined the gold mineralisation extending over 3.3 kilometres. The mineralisation trends for both projects are now known to be open to the North and South of this recent sampling and exploration program;
-
Exploration on this Project identified two additional mineralised trends over a sampled strike distance comparative to the existing Satin and Morrison mineralised structures which are located a short distance both East and West of the Satin and Morrison Projects. Follow-up exploration of these targets forms part of the ongoing exploration plan.
Tumentu Project
Planning for the exploration program on the Tumentu Project was completed during the period with a trenching/pitting program to be performed in the next half of the year. The compilation and interpretation of significant data from previous workings have defined anomalous zones of mineralisation.
Bindi Bindi East Exploration Project
The application for exploration licence for the Bindi Bindi Exploration Project were granted during the period and exploration will commence on this newly issued tenure in the following quarter

1. REPORTING ENTITY
Noble Mineral Resources Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated interim financial report as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2008 covers the consolidated group of Noble Mineral Resources Limited and its subsidiary (together referred to as the “consolidated entity” or “Group”).
The annual financial report of the consolidated entity as at and for the period from incorporation on 13 April 2007 to 30 June 2008 is available upon request from the Company’s registered office or may be viewed on the Company’s website, www.nobleminres.com.au.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The consolidated interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated interim financial report has been prepared on the accruals basis and on an historical cost basis.
The interim financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
It is recommended that the interim financial report be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2008 and considered together with any public announcements made by Noble Mineral Resources Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2008 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.
This consolidated interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 16 March 2009.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this consolidated interim financial report are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial report as at and for the period ended 30 June 2008.
The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments.
4. ESTIMATES
The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this consolidated interim financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report as at and for the period ended 30 June 2008.
5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the financial report as at and for the period ended 30 June 2008.
6. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
This is the first half year financial report issued by the Group since listing on the Australian Securities Exchange. The comparative figures have therefore not been subject to audit review.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NOBLE MINERAL RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Noble Mineral Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated condensed balance sheet as at 31 December 2008, and the consolidated condensed income statement, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 . This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim And Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2008 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 As the auditor of Noble Mineral Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
==> picture [174 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
14
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, has been provided to the directors of Noble Mineral Resources Limited on 16 March 2009.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Noble Mineral Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2008 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
