AUSTRALIA MINERALS & MINING GROUP LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Australia Minerals & Mining Group was incorporated on 8 May 2007 for the purpose of securing by application, exploration licenses over land that has been subject to historical exploration and where significant geological data was available and/or the land was considered sufficiently prospective due to proximity to existing resources and infrastructure.
To date the Company has identified eight separate project areas, located in Western Australia and Queensland, which the Directors believe may, following necessary advancement and development, have the potential for the realisation of economic resources including - iron ore, gypsum, mineral sands, kaolin, and salt.
The Company currently has four granted tenements and 40 applications for tenements covering approximately 6,460 km[2] over the eight project areas. These include tenements subject to joint venture where the Company has the right, following grant, to acquire 100% ownership.
Strategy
AMMG continues to evaluate the pre-existing exploration data available for its tenements and review the historical data of potential joint venture partners on ground in close proximity to the Company’s project areas with a view to pursuing potential joint venture opportunities.
The Company is also working to identify potential strategic investors and potential end users of mineral commodities which the Company is targeting with a view to growing the Company to the mutual benefit of the parties concerned.
AMMG is focused on pursuing investment opportunities that leverage off the Company’s management, expertise and local knowledge and which is in a form that is acceptable to all stakeholders.
With the granting of a number of Exploration Licenses, the Company is moving forward with its exploration program to collect samples, investigate potential beneficiation and processing techniques and pursue potential marketing opportunities.
Projects
The projects the Company is focused on include the following targeting:
-
Iron Ore - Constance Range, Northern Queensland
-
Gypsum - Lake MacLeod, North West, Western Australia
-
Iron Ore - Pilbara, Western Australia
-
Iron Ore –South West, Western Australia (Yilgarn)
-
Mineral Sands - Scott River, South West, Western Australia
-
Kaolin - South West, Western Australia
-
Salt - South West, Western Australia (Yilgarn)
The Company’s projects have been carefully evaluated and selected based primarily on access to existing historical geological exploration activity and reporting. Other considerations included proximity to existing infrastructure, ease of extraction, and leverage to growth markets.
In a number of project areas, the Company has commenced preliminary discussions with potential joint venture partners, is in the process of gathering and evaluating historical data to assess potential resources and has undertaken field trips to Constance Range for iron ore sampling and analysis and the South West for kaolin sampling and analysis.
Initial exploration priorities lie in the Lake Macleod gypsum project where drilling has now commenced post 30 June 2010, and the Constance Range iron ore project in Northern Queensland. Further consideration is also being given to the recently applied for Meckering WA Kaolin project which has had significant geological work carried out in the past.
Corporate and Financial Position
As at 30 June 2010 the Company had cash reserves of $7.9 million.
Business Strategies and Prospects
The Company currently has the following business strategies and prospects over the medium to long term:
-
(i) Seek to increase the value of the Company’s mineral assets located in Australia through exploration success;
-
(ii) Undertake exploration activities on its existing Projects; and
-
(iii) Continue to examine new mineral opportunities, with particular focus on advanced projects with the potential to deliver early cash flow opportunities.

REMUNERATION REPORT
Recommendation 8.1 of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (2[nd] edition) states that the Board should establish a Remuneration Committee. The Board has formed the view that given the number of Directors on the Board, this function could be performed just as effectively with full Board participation. Accordingly it was resolved that there would be no separate Board sub-committee for remuneration purposes.
This report details the amount and nature of remuneration of each Director of the Company and executive officers of the Company during the year.
Overview of Remuneration Policy
The Board of Directors is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the executive team. The broad remuneration policy is to ensure that remuneration properly reflects the relevant person’s duties and responsibilities, and that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. The Board believes that the best way to achieve this objective is to provide the Executive Chairman and the executive team with a remuneration package consisting of a fixed and variable component that together reflects the person’s responsibilities, duties and personal performance. An equity based remuneration arrangement for the Board and
8

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT (Continued)
the executive team is in place. The remuneration policy is to provide a fixed remuneration component and a specific equity related component, with no performance conditions. The Board believes that this remuneration policy is appropriate given the stage of development of the Company and the activities which it undertakes and is appropriate in aligning Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives.
The remuneration policy in regard to setting the terms and conditions for the Executive Chairman has been developed by the Board taking into account market conditions and comparable salary levels for companies of a similar size and operating in similar sectors.
Directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9% per annum and do not receive any other retirement benefit. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part or all of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to Directors is valued at cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued using the BlackScholes methodology. In accordance with current accounting policy the value of these options is expensed over the relevant vesting period.
Non-Executive Directors
The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting, and has been initially set not to exceed $200,000 per annum. Actual remuneration paid to the Company’s Non-Executive Directors is disclosed below. Remuneration fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align Directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company
Executive Chairman and Senior Management
The remuneration of the Executive Chairman is dictated by an executive service agreement.
The Company aims to reward executives with a level of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to:
-
Reward executives for Company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
-
Reward executives in line with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and
-
Ensure that total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
Structure
Remuneration consists of the following key elements:
-
Fixed remuneration; and
-
● Issuance of unlisted options
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis including any employee benefits e.g. motor vehicles) as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.
The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market.
Remuneration packages for the staff who report directly to the Executive Chairman are based on the recommendation of the Executive Chairman, subject to the approval of the Board in the annual budget setting process.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2010
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of the Company, Australian Minerals & Mining Group Limited (“AMMG” or “Company”), are stated to assist in a general understanding of the financial report. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise indicated.
Australian Minerals & Mining Group Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the official list of the Australian Stock Exchange. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional currency.
(a) Basis of Preparation
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 24[th] September 2010.
(b) Use of Estimates and Judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. None of the balances reported have been derived from estimates.
(c) Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred asset or liability is recognised in relation to those temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Current and future tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
(d) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest income
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, which are readily convertible to cash on hand and which are used in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis.
(f) Plant and equipment and motor vehicles
Each class of plant and equipment and motor vehicles is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment and motor vehicles
Plant and equipment and motor vehicles are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
The carrying values of plant and equipment and motor vehicles are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If any such indication exists where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.
Depreciation
Depreciable non-current assets are depreciated over their expected economic life using either the straight line or the diminishing value method. Profits and losses on disposal of non-current assets are taken into account in determining the operating loss for the year. The depreciation rate used for each class of assets is as follows:
• Plant & equipment 20 - 33% • Motor vehicles 22.5%
(g) Employee Entitlements
Liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and other current employee entitlements expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
Contributions to employee superannuation plans are charged as an expense as the contributions are paid or become payable.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(h) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest and is subject to impairment testing. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which:
-
such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or
-
Exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of reduced value, accumulated costs carried forward are written off in the year in which that assessment is made. 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.
Where a mineral resource has been identified and where it is expected that future expenditures will be recovered by future exploitation or sale, the impairment of the exploration and evaluation is written back and transferred to development costs. Once 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.
Costs of site restoration and rehabilitation are recognised when the Company has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable and the amount of the provision can be reliably estimated.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:
(i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and
(ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
For the purpose of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cashgenerating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then re-classified from intangible assets to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment.
(i) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. GST incurred is claimed from the ATO when a valid tax invoice is provided. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(j) Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(k) Contributed Equity
Issued capital is recognised as the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.
Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
(l) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated based upon the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares. Diluted EPS are calculated as the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares.
(m) Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.
The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lesser effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight- line basis over the term of the lease.
(n) Share-based payment transactions
The Company provides benefits to employees (including Directors and consultants) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“Equity–settled transactions”).
There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits being an Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) which provides benefits to Directors, consultants and senior executives.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using the Black -Scholes model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Australia Minerals and Mining Group Ltd. (“market conditions”).
The cost of equity settled securities is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).
Where the Company acquires some form of interest in an exploration tenement or an exploration area of interest and the consideration comprises share-based payment transactions, the fair value of the equity instruments granted is measured at grant date. The cost of equity securities is recognised within capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure, together with a corresponding increase in equity.
(o) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(p) Financial risk management
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework, to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk from the use of financial instruments. The Company has only limited use of financial instruments through its cash holdings being invested in short term interest bearing securities. The primary goal of this strategy is to maximise returns while minimising risk through the use of accredited Banks with a minimum credit rating of A1 from Standard & Poors. The Company has no debt, and working capital is maintained at its highest level possible and regularly reviewed by the full board.
(q) New accounting standards and interpretations
During the current year, the company adopted the revised Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, which became mandatory. The adoption of this Standard had no material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2010 reporting periods as set out below:

(c) Class A Performance Shares
The Company has on issue 17,000,000 Class A Performance Shares (“Performance Shares”). The Performance Shares will convert into fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company upon the Company identifying a JORC compliant inferred resource of 25 million tonnes of gypsum from the Company’s tenements located in Lake Macleod, Western Australia ( Milestone ). The Performance Shares will convert into fully paid ordinary shares on one for one basis if the Milestone is achieved within 5 years from the date on which the Company becomes listed on the ASX. If the Milestone is not achieved within this timeframe, all Performance Shares will be redeemed for the sum of $0.000001 per Performance Share. At the date of this report the Milestone had not been achieved. The independent valuation for the Performance Shares was 2 cents each giving a total value of $340,000 which has been included in the exploration valuations.

(d) Unlisted Options
During the financial year the Company granted the following unlisted options over unissued shares:
| Number of Options Granted |

|---|---|---|
| 8,000,000 1,000,000 500,000 500,000 1,000,000 |

31 August 2015 8 February 2015 8 February 2015 8 February 2015 4 February 2015 |
There have been no other options issued by the Company since its incorporation, and none of the above options have been converted.
(e) Share Based Payments
The expense recognised in the income statement in relation to share-based payments is disclosed in Note 3. The average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as at 30 June 2010 is between 4 and 5 years. The range of exercise prices for options outstanding at the end of the year was between 20 cents and 30 cents. The fair value of options granted during the year was $619,950, of which $427,932 has been expensed in the current year (2009 - Nil).
The fair value of the equity-settled share options granted is estimated as at the date of grant using a BlackScholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.
The following table lists the inputs to the model used for the options issued during the year ended 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2009:
| Date of Issue | 31 Aug09 | 8 Feb 10 | 8 Feb 10 | 8 Feb 10 | 30 Mar 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Options | 8,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 500,000 | 500,000 | 1,000,000 |
| Volatility (%) | 75% | 75% | 75% | 75% | 75% |
| Risk-free interest rate(%) | 5.13% | 5.02% | 5.02% | 5.02% | 5.55% |
| Expected life of option(years) | 5.0 | 5.0 | 5.0 | 5.0 | 5.0 |
| Exerciseprice(cents) | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 30 |
| Shareprice atgrant date(cents) | 8 | 19 | 19 | 19 | 19 |
| Valueper option(cents) | 4.44 | 9.68 | 9.01 | 8.44 | 8.39 |
The expected life of the options 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. No other features of options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.
(e) Terms and Conditions of Contributed Equity
Ordinary Shares
The Company is a public company limited by shares. The Company was incorporated in Perth, Western Australia. The Company’s shares are limited whereby the liability of its members is limited to the amount (if any) unpaid on the shares respectively held by them.
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of the winding up of the Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of shares held. Ordinary shares which have no par value, entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.
