REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

ThE BYRO PROJECT

1. INTRODUCTION

LOCATION AND TENURE

Athena’s Byro Project is located 210km north of Mullewa and 250 km north east of Geraldton. It covers approximately 2,500 square kilometres and consists of nine exploration licences. Athena has a 100% interest in the project. The Company has applied and received authorisation to explore for iron ore on the exploration licences.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

Athena’s Byro Project is located along the north-western margin of the Yilgarn Craton, within an Archaean Gneiss Belt which trends north-northeast for approximately 200km. The geology is predominately quartzo-feldspathic gneisses and migmatites with amphibolites, quartzites, BIF’s, felsic volcanics and layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions. Regional folding and thrusting has resulted in a steep dominant westerly dip and north-northeast strike, although locally this varies from north to east. The iron ore at Byro has been characterised by a coarse metamorphic grain size, super low impurities during development of thick migmatite layers in the upper amphibolite - granulite metamorphic terrain.

Outcropping sequences of mafic to ultramafic lithologies suggest a series of prospective intrusions, the extent of which has been refined with gravity and detailed magnetic surveys where alluvial cover persists. Past exploration in the region indicates the presence of anomalous copper-nickel-PGE and chromite mineralisation. Two altered, layered mafic-ultramafic bodies are found at Taccabba Well and Imagi Well where iron-rich chromite occurrences have been discovered. Copper gossans exist at the edge of the Milly Milly Intrusion. Nearby historic drilling intersected copper and nickel mineralisation. Further drilling by Athena has advanced the understanding of this intrusive body as being a highly prospective fertile system.

2. BASE METALS - NICKEL-COPPER AND PGE

In 2006, Athena was introduced to the prodigious geological credentials and potential for base metal exploration within the Byro area hosting the Milly-Milly intrusion and the Chromite discovery within the Imiagi Well layered ultramafic intrusion, Athena has since identified three new layered intrusive systems at Moonborough, Central Byro and at Mt Narryar.

Athena considers the Byro area to be highly prospective for Ni-Cu and PGE’s, The deep sutures adjacent to the Byro tenements could have sourced Ni-Cu-PGE bearing fluids from depth as seen in the Milly-Milly Ni-Cu and PGE intrusion.

Athena in 2010 confirmed the fertility of the previously under explored 6.5km × 1.5km Milly-Milly intrusion and successfully demonstrated its potential to host concentrations of Ni-Cu and PGE’s. Here, copper appears in the form of native copper and has been shown to form in aggregates with the pentlandite nickel sulphide. The Ultramafic to mafic intrusions found at Byro are rare on a global scale due to the unique geological environment. Successful exploration of these systems can be extremely valuable.

The Milly Milly Intrusive is in a tectonic setting of large scale crustal sutures and extensional rifting, broadly comparable to the major Jinchuan, Voisey’s Bay and Raglan deposits. Athena has confirmed the coincidence of undifferentiated mafics, mineralised pyroxenite, gabbros and dunite ultramafic rocks intruding through deeply buried high grade metamorphic country rocks common throughout the Byro tenements. This derivation is indicative of a pyroxenitic intrusive parentage in an extensional environment through deep feeder conduits incorporating potential assimilation of country rock. Ni-Cu and PGE development in conjunction with high MgO of 40% to 45% and an Mg number between 80 and 90 determined by assays demonstrate a fertile system.

The prospective attributes of the Milly Milly Intrusive include,

  • Fertile altered Serpentine Antigorite c/w abundant olivine adcumulate of consistently high MgO (37.3 %< 44.8%).

  • Consistent primary Ni sulphide averaging 2736 ppm.

  • Anomalous zones of increased sulphur, chrome, nickel, copper and PGE’s.

  • Upgrade of pentlandite to millerite during serpentinisation.

  • Remobilised sulphides into veinlets.

  • High tenor nickel sulphide, millerite from SEM analyses, (76% Ni).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

high Resolution Gravity Survey

In August 2014 Athena completed a high resolution gravity survey (Figure 1) identifying three significant and untested anomalous zones. The anomalous zones rise in amplitude by up to 10 milliGals compared to background amplitudes commonly associated with the bulk of the intrusive body. Data was acquired over an area of 39 square kilometres and included 950 stations for a total of 65 line kilometres. The sample stations were at 50m, 100m and 200m spacings.

Anomalies 1 and 2 identified by the gravity survey (Figure 2), are interpreted to be at a depth within drilling range and will form a DHEM platform to further define the potential of the anomalies.

==> picture [39 x 216] intentionally omitted <==

----- End of picture text -----

Anomaly 1 (Figure 3), is located at the western contact of the northern lobe where the gravity gradient is aligned with the western magnetic contact for a strike length of 2.5 kilometres.

Anomaly 2 (Figure 3), is located approximately 1 km northwest of anomaly 1 and carries amplitude of -3.2 milliGals which is a significant 10 milliGals higher than the central southern lobe of the intrusion and significantly higher than the density of the overlying sedimentary package.

Anomaly 3 (Figure 3) is located approximately 2 kms north of anomaly 1 and carries amplitude of -3.6 milliGals which is a significant 9.6 milliGals higher than the central northern lobe.

The high resolution gravity stations processed over anomaly 2 indicate testing the anomaly could be achieved by drilling but depths are greater than 800m. The gravity response suggests the sediment package is not as thick or deep as previously interpreted.

Electromagnetic surveys, DHEM and Ground EM are being planned to follow up on the gravity anomalies.

To date one drill hole has been completed following the recently completed detailed gravity survey (AHDH0006) targeting in the region of Anomaly 1, a local gravity anomaly, coincident with a nickel soils anomaly and a structural dilation zone. This hole was completed and intercepted disseminated and stringer sulphides in core from two zones of mineralisation. AHDH0006 was ended at 279.7m. Interpretation and targeting has been completed and drilling is underway for a second diamond drill hole, AHDH0007 targeting the high amplitude gravity at Anomaly 1 on the western contact of the Milly Milly Intrusion with an estimated target depth between 200 and 450m.

3. BYRO IRON ORE

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The Byro Iron project is strategically located in the Midwest Iron province which includes a substantial mining sector. The projects southern boundary is 210km north of the Mullewa Rail Siding by road and 250km from the Port of Geraldton. Development of the Byro Iron project is expanding the overall resource in the Midwest region along with neighbours at the Gindalbie and Ansteel’s Karara Iron Project, Sinosteel’s Weld Range Project, the proposed Jack Hills Expansion Project, Padbury’s Robinson Range Project and Mt Gibson’s Extension Hill mine amongst others. Access and improved infrastructure to the maturing iron ore province is growing with development of the CSIRO SKA Project and increased capacity and further development at the Port of Geraldton. The region is also awaiting the inevitable development of the Oakajee deep water bulk shipping port north of Geraldton to cater for the export of many billions of tonnes of iron ore currently in JORC compliant resources in the region.

The Byro Iron Ore project comprises three types of iron ore which are magnetite, insitu hematite and pisolite including lateritic hematite. All the iron ore sourced from Byro has been characterised by a coarse metamorphic grain size, super low impurities during development of thick migmatite layers in the upper amphibolite - granulite metamorphic terrain. This year a proportion of the company’s work has been focused on mapping and sampling potential direct shipping hematite ore (DSO) at Byro. This work builds on the magnetite iron resource and beneficiation test work on hematite ore in the previous year. As a result of work completed the company has built up a large number of highly prospective magnetite, DSO and beneficiation hematite targets with positive assay and metallurgical test results now being included in the Byro Iron Project.

Results received during the year have further advanced the Byro Iron Ore Project in the the southern tenements at Mt Narryar and hematite ore metallurgy in the north.

MAGNETITE AT MT NARRYAR

At Mt Narryar East, magnetite assay results were consistently above 40% Fe along the length of the outcrop, with only one result, MBCR483 below. This sample was from a weathered hematite pisolite. The surface exposure of magnetite confirms the aeromagnetic anomaly of up to 5.4 kilometres length.

The Mt Narryar East outcrop displays variable thickness. At the widest point up to 80m wide and narrows to 25m in some cases. Average width is estimated around 40m. The anomaly is a first order magnetite target given its location, continuity of geology and potential volume.

The Northwest magnetite anomaly at Mt Narryar, comprises a series of close spaced interbedded parallel magnetite sequences colated with sheared granite and gneiss. Fe from assay results ranging from 35% to 40.5% Fe, taken from asporadic outcrop.

FIRST PASS UPGRADE OF BYRO BENEFICIABLE hEMATITE

At the Think Big Prospect, a 5.4 Km long hematite body outcropping at kilometre scale exposures, the average iron content from surface samples to date is 43% Fe. A composite of samples was processed to test potential for upgrade to a furnace grade product. The samples were from outcrop in three separate locations over a 1 kilometre strike. The composite was crushed to 500µm and assayed, results below, in Table 3 show the composite sample had an Fe assay 44.6%. The sample was then processed through a gravity separation Wilfley table dividing the sample into seven fractions based on density. The various cuts were assayed and the cumulative results listed in Table 4.

Table 5 shows the cumulative grades achieved with the cut 1 cumulate to cut 6, Cut 7 being dominantly fine clays, silica and Al2O3. The assay shows very low levels of contaminant minerals, sulphur Al2O3 and phosphorous. The results also show contaminant minerals are similar to the Byro magnetite both in JORC resource and from drilling at other locations. Grain size of the hematite within the rock varies from 0.25mm to 1.5mm with distinctive boundaries between the hematite and quartz. A grind size of 500µm was chosen on the basis of grain size and style of grain boundary. These initial results suggest this could be further optimized and will be confirmed with petrological study of the master composite grinds.

Further Surface Sampling and Mapping

The 2,500 square kilometers of tenements held by Athena host multiple locations where whole rock assays from surface sampling have demonstrated iron grades in excess of 50% Fe.

At the Heppenstal Prospect within tenement E09/1507, a new and untested hematite outcrop adjacent to previously reported high grade assays from float rock was mapped and sampled. Assays received and announced in this period range from 46.1% Fe up to 52.4% Fe.

Hematite/martite in samples from this location display a grain size of up to 4mm under reflected light microscopy. Some of the martite grains display occasional octahedral shapes easing identification. The very coarse grain hematite/martite presents favourable processing options. Four samples were assayed and are presented in Table 5.

Direct Shipping Ore

Three potential DSO ore bodies were defined by surface mapping are the Tabaroa South Ore Body, the Heppenstall Ore Body, and the Olvidado Ore Body.

The Tabaroa South DSO Ore Body.

At Tabaroa South surface mapping and sampling followed up surface assays in excess of 56% Fe and structural interpretation. Assays have revealed high grades of up to 58.56% Fe in hematite, Table 6. Samples were taken from out crop which was mapped with a significant total length 1048m.

The body has substantial width, up to 60m in places and dips below surface at variable angles from 30 to 70 degrees. Accurate average widths cannot be calculated until drilling is completed and dip is determined. The body is marked by a 30m rise in the local topography and is bounded by shallow preferentially eroded valleys in a region of complex geology.

The northern section is strongly strained and truncated by faulting. The eastern contact appears to be constrained by an oblique thrust while the southern section is also truncated by faulting. The larger mid section is mostly competent and less fractured. Overall outcrop extends for 1040m within a topographic prominence of 20m above local drainage. This first substantial body discovered in Athena tenements to date has returned assays equivalent to direct shipping ore grade.

The heppenstall DSO Ore Body.

Surface mapping and sampling, found the origin of the high grade hematite iron previously identified in float rock assays. The DSO is a component of the larger Granular Iron Formation (GIF), which has had successful beneficiation test work completed to test potential concentration to a furnace grade, discussed later in hematite beneficiation in this quarterly. Assays revealed DSO hematite grades at Heppenstall of up to 60.5% Fe from surface float and average grade from out crop samples of 55.55% Fe. Outcrop was mapped with a significant total length of 500m and variable width of up to15 meters, where the contact was visible. In both surface float and outcrop the hematite is massive and lacks the characteristic banding seen in the adjacent GIF formation.

Surface mapping and sampling followed up on Fe oxide anomaly and structural mapping. The body of the Olvidado DSO is of limited strike length, at this stage, ~300m but the extent of the Iron formations it is associated with is greater than 2.5 kilometers. Further detailed mapping will be carried out to test the areas within these iron formations that fit the modeled structural constraints.

Review of Operations 13

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Think Big North DSO Ore Body.

During the June 2014, 18 samples were taken from an enriched zone at the northern section of the Think Big Prospect. Assays have revealed high grades of up to 58.67% Fe in hematite. Samples were taken from out crop which was mapped with a significant length of greater than 500m.

The rock type mapped is dominantly massive hematite plus goethite with little evidence of banding or visible discrete silica as grains. The deposit is structurally bound by contact to the east with a magnetic banded iron formation and to the west by a sheared intercalated granite and gneiss schist. The northern and southern extents appear to be truncated by faulting. The surface exposure of the hematite / goethite is pervasive between neigbouring lithologies, with an average width of approximately 40m, striking to the north and dipping to the west. The body of the deposit has a marked rise in local topography bounded by shallow preferentially eroded drainage channels within a region of ancient geology.

  • Satisfying itself that there are appropriate reporting systems and controls in place to assure the Board that proper operational, financial, compliance, risk management and internal control process are in place and functioning appropriately;

  • Approving and monitoring financial and other reporting;

  • Assuring itself that appropriate audit arrangements are in place;

  • Ensuring that the Company acts legally and responsibly on all matters and assuring itself that the Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and that the Company practice is consistent with that Code; and other policies; and

  • · Reporting to and advising shareholders.

Other than as specifically reserved to the Board, responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Company’s business activities is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Management.

2(b) Board Composition

The Directors determine the composition of the Board employing the following principles:

  • the Board, in accordance with the Company’s constitution must comprise a minimum of three Directors;

  • the roles of the Chairman of the Board and of the Chief Executive Officer should be exercised by different individuals;

  • the majority of the Board should comprise Directors who are non-executive;

  • the Board should represent a broad range of qualifications, experience and expertise considered of benefit to the Company; and

  • the Board must be structured in such a way that it has a proper understanding of, and competency in, the current and emerging issues facing the Company, and can effectively review management’s decisions

The Board is currently comprised of two Non-Executive Directors and an Executive Director. The skills, experience, expertise, qualifications and terms of office of each director in office at the date of the annual report is included in the Directors’ Report.

Corporate Governance Statement 25

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT(Continued)

The Company’s constitution requires one-third of the Directors (or the next lowest whole number) to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Directors to retire at each AGM are those who have been longest in office since their last election. Where Directors have served for equal periods, they may agree amongst themselves or determine by lot who will retire. A Director must retire in any event at the third AGM since he or she was last elected or re-elected. Retiring Directors may offer themselves for re-election.

A Director appointed as an additional or casual Director by the Board will hold office until the next AGM when they may be re-elected.

The Chief Executive Officer is not subject to retirement by rotation and, along with any Director appointed as an additional or casual Director, is not to be taken into account in determining the number of Directors required to retire by rotation.

----- End of picture text -----

2(c) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

The Chairman is responsible for:

  • leadership of the Board;

  • the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board’s functions;

  • the promotion of constructive and respectful relations between Board members and between the Board and management;

  • contributing to the briefing of Directors in relation to issues arising at Board meetings;

  • facilitating the effective contribution of all Board members; and

  • committing the time necessary to effectively discharge the role of the Chairman.

The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for:

  • implementing the Company’s strategies and policies; and

  • the day-to-day management of the Company’s business activities

2(d) Nomination Committee

The Company does not comply with ASX Recommendation 2.4. The Company is not of a relevant size to consider formation of a nomination committee to deal with the selection and appointment of new Directors and as such a nomination committee has not been formed.

Nominations of new Directors are considered by the full Board in accordance with the Company’s “Selection of New Directors Policy”.

2(e) Independent Directors

The Company recognises that independent Directors are important in assuring shareholders that the Board is properly fulfilling its role and is diligent in holding senior management accountable for its performance. The Board assesses each of the directors against specific criteria to decide whether they are in a position to exercise independent judgment.

Directors of Athena Resources Limited are considered to be independent when they are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement.

In making this assessment, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Relationships that the Board will take into consideration when assessing independence are whether a Director:

  • is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;

  • is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

  • has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;

  • is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or

  • has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director.

Athena Resources I Annual Report 2014

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT(Continued)

The Board currently includes two independent non-executive Directors.

In accordance with the definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following Directors of Athena Resources Limited are considered to be independent:

Name Position Mr D Webster Chairman Mr R Kandiah Non Executive Director

The term in office held by each Director in office at the date of this report is as follows:

Name Term in Office Mr D Webster Since 9 December 2011 Mr E Edwards Since 11 April 2005 Mr R Kandiah Since 14 May 2012

In recognition of the importance of independent views and the Board’s role in supervising the activities of management the Chairman should be a Non-Executive Director.

2(f) Avoidance of conflicts of interest by a Director

In order to ensure that any interests of a Director in a particular matter to be considered by the Board are known by each Director, each Director is required by the Company to disclose any relationships, duties or interests held that may give rise to a potential conflict. Directors are required to adhere strictly to constraints on their participation and voting in relation to any matters in which they may have an interest.

2(g) Board access to information and independent advice

Directors are able to access members of the management team at any time to request relevant information.

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable Directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the company’s expense.

2(h) Review of Board performance

The performance of the Board is reviewed regularly by the Chairman. The Chairman conducts performance evaluations which involve an assessment of each Board member’s performance against specific and measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria. The performance criteria against which directors and executives are assessed is aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of Athena Resources Limited. Directors whose performance is consistently unsatisfactory may be asked to retire.

3. BOARD COMMITTEES

3(a) Audit Committee

The board has established an Audit Committee. Due to the size of the board the Audit Committee comprises the Chairman Mr D Webster and non-executive Director Mr R Kandiah. The role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are summarised below.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and overseeing the independence of the external auditors. The Board sets aside time to deal with issues and responsibilities usually delegated to the Audit Committee to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the auditor.

The Board reviews the audited annual and half-year financial statements and any reports which accompany published financial statements and recommends their approval to the members. The Board also reviews annually the appointment of the external auditor, their independence and their fees.

The Board is also responsible for establishing policies on risk oversight and management. The Company has not formed a separate Risk Management Committee due to the size and scale of its operations.

Corporate Governance Statement 27

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT(Continued)

External Auditors

The Company’s policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. It is HLB Mann Judd’s policy to rotate engagement partners on listed companies at least every five years in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in the notes to the financial statements in the Annual Report.

==> picture [39 x 216] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

27
----- End of picture text -----

There is no indemnity provided by the company to the auditor in respect of any potential liability to third parties.

The external auditor is requested to attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and preparation and content of the audit report.

There were no non-audit services provided by the auditors during the year.

3(b) Remuneration Committee

The role of a Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of establishing appropriate remuneration levels and incentive policies for employees.

The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee due to the size and scale of its operations. This does not comply with Recommendation 8.1 however the Board as a whole takes responsibility for such issues.

The responsibilities include setting policies for senior officers remuneration, setting the terms and conditions for the CEO, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on the Company’s incentive schemes and superannuation arrangements, reviewing the remuneration of both executive and non-executive directors and undertaking reviews of the CEO’s performance.

The Company has structured the remuneration of its senior executive, where applicable, such that it comprises a fixed salary, statutory superannuation and participation in the Company’s employee share option plan. The Company believes that by remunerating senior executives in this manner it rewards them for performance and aligns their interests with those of shareholders and increases the Company’s performance.

Non-executive directors are paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for nonexecutive director remuneration. The Company does not adhere to Recommendation 8.2 ‘Non-executive directors should not receive options or bonus payments’. The Company may, in the future, grant options to non-executive directors. The Board is of the view that options (for both executive and non-executive directors) are a cost effective benefit for small companies such as Athena Resources Limited that seek to conserve cash reserves. They also provide an incentive that ultimately benefits both shareholders and the optionholders, as optionholders will only benefit if the market value of the underlying shares exceeds the option strike price. Ultimately, shareholders will make that determination.

The remuneration received by directors and executives in the current period is contained in the “Remuneration Report” within the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report.

4. EThICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING

4(a) Code of Ethics and Conduct

The Board endeavours to ensure that the Directors, officers and employees of the Company act with integrity and observe the highest standards of behaviour and business ethics in relation to their corporate activities. The “Code of Conduct” sets out the principles, practices, and standards of personal behaviour the Company expects people to adopt in their daily business activities.

All Directors, officers and employees are required to comply with the Code of Conduct. Senior managers are expected to ensure that employees, contractors, consultants, agents and partners under their supervision are aware of the Company’s expectations as set out in the Code of Conduct.

==> picture [596 x 138] intentionally omitted <==

Athena Resources I Annual Report 2014

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT(Continued)

All Directors, officers and employees are expected to:

  • comply with the law;

  • act in the best interests of the Company;

  • be responsible and accountable for their actions; and

  • observe the ethical principles of fairness, honesty and truthfulness, including prompt disclosure of potential conflicts.

4(b) Policy concerning trading in Company securities

The Company’s “Dealings in Company Shares and Options Policy” applies to all Directors, officers and employees. This policy sets out the restrictions on dealing in securities by people who work for, or are associated with the Company and is intended to assist in maintaining market confidence in the integrity of dealings in the Company’s securities. The policy stipulates that the only appropriate time for a Director, officer or employee to deal in the Company’s securities is when they are not in possession of price sensitive information that is not generally available to the market.

As a matter of practice, Company shares may only be dealt with by Directors and officers of the Company under the following guidelines:

  • No trading is permitted in the period of 14 days preceding release of each quarterly report, half-yearly report and annual financial report of the Company or for a period of 2 trading days after the release of such report;

  • Guidelines are to be considered complementary to and not replace the various sections of the Corporations Act 2001 dealing with insider trading; and

  • Prior approval of the Chairman, or in his absence, the approval of two directors is required prior to any trading being undertaken.

4(c) Policy Concerning Gender Diversity

Athena is committed to establishing a policy concerning diversity and disclosure of the policy. The policy will include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and for the Board to assess annually the objectives and report in the Annual Report.

As a company with a small market capitalisation, the company has a small board. The company has no established policy in relation to gender diversity at present but is aware of the principle and will be alert for opportunities when board changes are contemplated. Given the size of the company and the limited number of employees, reporting the numbers of employees by gender is not regarded as a meaningful statistic.

5. TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

5(a) Shareholder communication

The Company believes that all shareholders should have equal and timely access to material information about the Company including its financial situation, performance, ownership and governance. The Company’s “ASX Disclosure Policy” encourages effective communication with its shareholders by requiring that Company announcements:

  • be factual and subject to internal vetting and authorisation before issue;

  • be made in a timely manner;

  • not omit material information;

  • be expressed in a clear and objective manner to allow investors to assess the impact of the information when making investment decisions;

  • be in compliance with ASX Listing Rules continuous disclosure requirements; and

  • be placed on the Company’s website promptly following release.

Shareholders are encouraged to participate in general meetings. Copies of addresses by the Chairman or Chief Executive Officer are disclosed to the market and posted on the Company’s website. The Company’s external auditor attends the Company’s annual general meeting to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the audit report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Corporate Governance Statement

29

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT(Continued)

5(b) Continuous disclosure policy

The Company is committed to ensuring that shareholders and the market are provided with full and timely information and that all stakeholders have equal opportunities to receive externally available information issued by the Company. The Company’s “ASX Disclosure Policy” described in 5(a) reinforces the Company’s commitment to continuous disclosure and outline management’s accountabilities and the processes to be followed for ensuring compliance.

The policy also contains guidelines on information that may be price sensitive. The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements with the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing and coordinating information disclosure to the ASX.

6. RECOGNISING AND MANAGING RISK

The Board is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk management, compliance and internal control systems. The Company’s policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company’s business objectives. A written policy in relation to risk oversight and management has been established (“Risk Management and Internal Control Policy”). Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation structure with clearly drawn responsibilities.

6(a) Board oversight of the risk management system

The Board is responsible for approving and overseeing the risk management system. The Board reviews, at least annually, the effectiveness of the implementation of the risk management controls and procedures.

The principle aim of the system of internal control is the management of business risks, with a view to enhancing the value of shareholders’ investments and safeguarding assets. Although no system of internal control can provide absolute assurance that the business risks will be fully mitigated, the internal control systems have been designed to meet the Company’s specific needs and the risks to which it is exposed.

Annually, the Board is responsible for identifying the risks facing the Company, assessing the risks and ensuring that there are controls for these risks, which are to be designed to ensure that any identified risk is reduced to an acceptable level.

The Board is also responsible for identifying and monitoring areas of significant business risk. Internal control measures currently adopted by the Board include:

  • at least quarterly reporting to the Board in respect of operations and the Company’s financial position, with a comparison of actual results against budget; and

  • regular reports to the Board by appropriate members of the management team and/or independent advisers, outlining the nature of particular risks and highlighting measures which are either in place or can be adopted to manage or mitigate those risks.

6(b) Risk management roles and responsibilities

The Board is responsible for approving and reviewing the Company’s risk management strategy and policy. Executive management is responsible for implementing the Board approved risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks in all of the Company’s activities.

The Board is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control.

  • The statement given to the Board on the integrity of the Company’s financial statements is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and controls which implements the policies adopted by the Board; and

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law.

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

The company is a listed public company, incorporated in Australia and operating in Australia. The entity’s principal activities are mineral exploration.

The accounting policies detailed below have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Athena Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the commercial realisation of the future potential of Athena’s assets and the discharge of its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Board considers that Athena is a going concern and recognises that additional funding is required to ensure that it can continue to fund its operations and further develop its mineral exploration and evaluation assets during the twelve month period from the date of approval of this financial report. The company has access to the following potential source of funding:

  • The placement of securities under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or otherwise;

  • An excluded offer pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001; or

  • The sale of assets.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that subject to prevailing equity market conditions, Athena will obtain sufficient funding to enable it to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt that basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial report. Should Athena be unable to obtain sufficient funding as outlined above, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt whether it will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it not continue as a going concern.

Statement of Compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 September 2014.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Adoption of new and revised standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

In the year ended 30 June 2014, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and therefore, no change is necessary to accounting policies of the consolidated entity.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements 37

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Note 1 Continued)

The Directors have also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2014. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to consolidated entity accounting policies.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Athena Resources Limited.

Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Athena Resources Limited. Control exists where Athena Resources Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Athena Resources Limited to achieve the objectives of Athena Resources Limited. All controlled entities have a 30 June financial year-end.

All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profit 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 parent entity.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

(b) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expenses is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowable items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance date.

Deferred tax is accounted for in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statements. 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.

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.

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.

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 consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(c) Plant and Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Athena Resources I Annual Report 2014

38

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Note 1 Continued)

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future consolidated benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised lease assets, but excluding computers, is depreciated on a reducing balance commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Computers are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Plant and Equipment 15 – 50%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to accumulated losses.

(d) Mineral Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is either written off as incurred or accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. Tenement acquisition costs are initially capitalised. Costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the areas, sale of the respective areas of interest or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage, which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full in the year in which the decision to abandon the areas 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. Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure.

(e) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Directors review 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 assets, 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 comprehensive income.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements 39

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014 (Note 1 Continued)

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(f) Provisions

Provisions are recognised where there is 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.

----- End of picture text -----

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(g) Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and service tax (GST).

(h) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. 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 expenses. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

(j) Issued Capital

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at 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.

(i) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(k) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(l) Key Estimates – Impairment of exploration expenditure

The Directors assess impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity that may lead to impairment of exploration expenditure. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered the existence of any possible indicators of impairment per AASB 6.

On the basis of this review, the Directors are satisfied that no impairment is present at June 30 2014.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAX

No income tax is payable by Athena as each entity in the consolidated entity incurred a loss for tax purposes for the year and each has available recoupable income tax losses at balance date. The aggregate of income tax attributable to the financial year differs from the amount calculated on the operating loss. The differences are calculated as follows:

The directors estimate the unrecognised deferred tax asset attributable to the company and its controlled
as follows:
Revenue Losses
3,300,785
entities at 30% is
Revenue Losses 3,227,930

The potential deferred tax asset has not been brought to account in the financial report at 30 June 2014 as the Directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard the realisation of the asset as probable. This asset will only be obtained if:

  • (a) The company and its controlled entity derive future assessable income of an amount and type sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the tax losses and the unrecouped exploration expenditure to be realised;

  • (b) The company and its controlled entity continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and

  • (c) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company and its controlled entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the tax losses and unrecouped exploration expenditure.

Franking Credits

No franking credits are available at balance date for the subsequent financial year.

  1. The underlying value of each share in the company was the closing share price of 2.5 cents as at 1 May 2013.

  2. Risk free rate of return – 5.00%;

  3. A volatility of the share price of 1.25%;

  4. The Incentive Options issued are exercisable at 6 cents per share on or before 30 April 2016;

  5. The appropriate discount factor to be applied to the value of each of the options due to the lack of marketability would be 30%.

NOTE 22 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) Financial Risk Management Policies

The consolidated entity’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and accounts payable.

Athena Resources I Annual Report 2014

48

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

The board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the group in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. The group has developed a framework for a risk management policy and internal compliance and control systems that covers the organisational, financial and operational aspects of the consolidated entity’s affairs. The Chairman is responsible for ensuring the maintenance of, and compliance with, appropriate systems.

(i) Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of change in the market, interest rate and the effective weighted average interest rate on these financial assets, is as follows:

----- End of picture text -----

Liquidity Risk

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows.

Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date, is the carrying amount net of any allowance for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statement.

In the case of cash deposited, credit risk is minimised by depositing with recognised financial intermediaries such as banks, subject to Australian Prudential Regulation Authority supervision.

The consolidated entity does not have any material risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by it.

Capital Management Risk

Management controls the capital of the consolidated entity in order to maximise the return to shareholders and ensure that the consolidated entity can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

Management effectively manages the consolidated entity’s capital by assessing the consolidated entity’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of expenditure and debt levels and share and option issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control capital of the consolidated entity since the prior year.

Notes 49

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(b) Financial Instruments

Net Fair Values

For financial assets and liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying value. The consolidated entity has no financial assets or liabilities that are readily traded on organised markets at balance date and has no financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values at balance date.

The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial statements.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

The consolidated entity has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result in a change in these risks. At 30 June 2014 the effect on the loss and equity as a result of a 2% change in the interest rate with all other variables remaining constant is as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Athena Resources Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Athena Resources Limited (“the company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration for the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT(Continued)

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Auditor’s opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Athena Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the Board recognises that additional funding is required to ensure that it can continue to fund its operations and further develop its mineral exploration and evaluation assets during the twelve month period from the date of approval of this financial report. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Auditor’s opinion

In our opinion the remuneration report of Athena Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
