Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of my fellow directors, it is with pleasure I present to you Mining Group Limited’s 2013 Annual Report.
Mining Group Limited was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and commenced trading on 1 July 2011 after successfully completing its Initial Public Offer.
Following the successful listing, in January 2012, the Company acquired interests in the highly prospective Comval Project located in the Philippines. Since that time and during the recent financial year the Company has made significant successful progress with its exploration programs at Comval establishing a maiden resource at the project and identifying new targets for further exploration.
More recently the Company announced the option to acquire interests in the El Roble Project in Chile. The El Roble Project is an exciting project prospective for high grade copper, gold and other associated minerals. The Company has commenced its exploration activities at the project and we are looking forward to a successful 2013/4 exploration program at El Roble.
The success of Mining Group Limited has been and continues to be a team effort and I take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors, our technical and administrative teams and our corporate advisors for their efforts and contribution to Mining Group Limited. I also take this opportunity to thank our shareholders and investors for their support of the Company.
As Chairman, I am committed to building our shareholder wealth in the Company through the diligent focus on our objectives within a culture of strong corporate governance, integrity and the protection of the interests of our shareholders.
I look forward with enthusiasm to the year ahead and the development of the Company as we build on our successes of 2013.

COMPANY SECRETARY
Ms Shannon Coates
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Mining Group Limited is an ASX listed company, incorporated in Australia. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are the acquisition, exploration and development of commercially significant resource projects in Australia and overseas. The Company currently holds interests in the Comval Project in the Philippines which is prospective for copper and gold (“Comval Project”) and the West Australian based Boorara and Teutonic Projects, which are prospective for gold and base metals.
During the year, the Group has conducted mineral exploration and evaluation activities on its West Australian and Philippine based projects and has post year-end entered into an option agreement to acquire the El Roble Project in Chile, which is prospective for copper and gold (“El Roble Project”).
OPERATING RESULTS
The loss of the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $11,311,130 (2012: $1,755,410).
DIVIDENDS PAID OR RECOMMENDED
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend and no amount has been paid or declared by way of a dividend to the date of this report.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The net loss for the year ended 30 June 2013 attributable to members of Mining Group Limited was $11,376,877.
In what has been a challenging year for junior resource companies, Mining Group was fortunate to have been able to commit to and execute its exploration strategy and significantly advance its key project, the Comval Project in the Philippines, having completed a maiden JORC compliant resource and further discovery success across the project area.

Directors’ Report
During the year, at the Comval Project, the Company had exploration success with the discovery of the Tagpura North and Kapangawan skarns and the Tandawan gold target. Outside of the existing resource areas, the Company has now discovered three skarn style deposits, potentially capable of containing the additional tonnages to complement the existing resource to justify the capital commitment that would be required to build a processing plant and commence mining. However, given the challenging economic conditions and the exploration budget required to delineate the additional tonnages, during the year the Company took the view that it was in the best interests of shareholders to realign its strategic plan for exploring, developing and mining mineral deposits and seek projects with the potential for high grade resources, low capital expenditure and a short time frame to initial cash flows to complement its Comval Project.
A number of alternative project opportunities were assessed during the year and post year end. On 12 August 2013, the Company committed to an option to acquire the El Roble Project in Chile. This Project meets the key criteria the Board had set to renew the Company’s strategy and create value for our shareholders. We believe the El Roble Project is an exciting opportunity for Mining Group and the coming year is set to be an exciting growth period.
Comval Project (80%)
The Comval Project consists of two exploration permits, EP-00001-XI (“EP1”) and EP-00002-09-XI (“EP2”), covering an area of 4310 hectares, which are prospective for copper and gold. The permits are held by the Company’s Filipino subsidiary Agusan Metals Corporation, of which Mining Group owns 80% and the 20% balance is held by Cadan Resources Corporation (“Cadan”) (TSXV), the joint venture partner for the Comval Project.
The Comval Project is located in the established copper and gold producing region of the Compostela Valley, on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. A number of major copper and gold deposits occur within the same geological belt and the project has potential for large scale copper gold porphyry mineralisation. It is located within the East Mindanao Ridge, which is a world class copper/gold province and which hosts major deposits such as Kingking (St Augustine) (5 billion lb Cu, 10.3 million oz. Au), Dilwalwal (Philippines Mining Development Corp) (10 million oz. Au) and CoO (Medusa) (2.5 million oz. Au).
Copper and gold mineralisation was first discovered at the Comval Project during the 1960's and the area has been subject to historical mining activity during the 1980's by Sabena Mining Corporation at the historical Tagpura open pit mine.
Numerous identified bodies of copper and gold mineralisation occur along the margins of intrusive quartz diorites and associated porphyries in the project area.
Since acquiring the Comval Project, Mining Group has executed an aggressive exploration program and has made five new discoveries within the project area; skarn style deposits at Bayag Bayag, Tagpura North and Kapanawan and epithermal style gold deposits at Taub/Ugpo and Tandawan.
Other work completed during the year included detailed ground magnetics over the Tagpura North, Kapanawan and Taub/Ugpo prospects, drilling of 2,103.10 metres of diamond drilling across numerous targets and calculation of a maiden JORC compliant resource for Tagpura East, Tagpura West, Maangob and Kalamatan (Table 1).

Directors’ Report
The maiden resource statement was calculated predominantly from drilling data inherited from Cadan Resources and was independently calculated by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd. The main resource area the Company has focussed on is the Tagpura East magnetite skarn and the newly discovered areas at Bayag Bayag, Tagpura North and Kapanawan, all of which are a similar style and tenor of mineralisation as Tagpura East. It has been the Company’s strategy to find additional resources similar to Tagura East to fully define the project. All three newly discovered areas require further work in order to delineate additional resources.
At Taub/Ugpo, in the northern part of the project area, the Company discovered an extensive epithermal gold field with widespread surface gold mineralisation which was initially delineated using across strike trenching and sampling. The Taub target was subsequently drilled with eight diamond drill holes, with all holes intersecting the mineralised structures, albeit at grades below what would be classed as economic. Further work is required on the Taub/Ugpo system to delineate the better parts of the system.
At Tandawan, following a small scale mining gold rush, the Company discovered two strike extensive gold bearing, epithermal vein systems, so far having a strike length of over 400 metres. This target is highly prospective for near surface high grade gold and is yet to be drilled.
The Company was presented with numerous challenges operating at the Comval Project during the year, one of which was the impact of Typhoon Bopha which crossed the coast of Mindanao approximately 60 kilometres north of the project area on 3 December 2012. Fortunately, no employees were injured and no Company equipment was damaged. However, the communities in which the Company operates were severely affected and the Company committed to assisting the community and authorities during the emergency and subsequently to help rebuild and re-establish services and infrastructure to local villages.
Boorara Project (earning up to 70%)
The Boorara Project is located approximately 17 kilometres southeast of Kalgoorlie in the East Coolgardie Mineral Field in Western Australia and comprises two granted Prospecting Licenses, covering an area of 206 hectares. The Project area occupies a favourable position within the prospective Boorara Shear Zone and is considered prospective for gold and base metals. The Company undertook further reconnaissance mapping and sampling at the project late in the year and the results of that work is being assessed to decide if further work is warranted on the project.
Teutonic Project (earning up to 70%)
The Teutonic Project is located approximately 30 kilometres north of Leonora in Western Australia and comprises one granted Exploration License covering an area of 1,613 hectares. The project area is prospective for gold and base metal mineralisation similar to the VMS styles recently discovered at Jaguar, Bentley and Teutonic Bore approximately 30km north northwest of the project area.
The Company has completed reinterpretation of multiclient aeromagnetic data over the project and identified a number of anomalies of interest that required follow up to assess for VMS style base metal mineralisation similar to the along strike Jaguar and Bentley deposits.
A small field work program was conducted late in the year to verify geology and examine drill spoil from historical drilling. The Company is of the view that the project is still prospective for VMS style mineralisation and further work is warranted.

Directors’ Report
Lake Christopher Project (100%)
The application for the Lake Christopher Project (ELA69/2935) was withdrawn during the year due to agreement with the traditional landowners unable to be reached.
Competent Persons Statement
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Mr Zeffron Reeves (B App Sc (Hons) (Applied Geology) MBA, MAIG), a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and an employee of the Company. Mr Reeves has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Reeves consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
Corporate
As part of the acquisition of the Comval Project, the Company agreed that if, within 24 months of settlement, Cadan was successful in resolving an existing dispute with Red Earth Group Pty Ltd, the Company would make a further $1,000,000 payment to Cadan within 6 months of the dispute being settled. Cadan subsequently notified the Company that, in its view, the dispute had been settled within the terms of the agreement. On 12 March 2013, Mining Group announced it had negotiated an alternate settlement pursuant to which it subsequently paid $500,000 and issued 5,952,381 shares to Cadan in settlement of this liability.
The Company raised a total of $7,147,377 (before costs) during the period via two pro rata renounceable rights issues. The first, completed on 13 November 2012, raised $5,020,234 (before costs) and a further rights issue was completed on 12 June 2013, raising $2,127,141 (before costs). As noted below, on 23 August 2013, the Company announced its intention to raise up to an additional $3,000,000 (before costs) by way of a placement to sophisticated investors, with the funds to be used towards initial consideration payments pursuant to the El Roble Project Option Agreement, further assessment of underground mine areas and exploration at the El Roble Project, including mapping, sampling, drilling and geophysics, together with metallurgical testing and assessment of waste dumps and ore samples, maintaining the Company’s other assets (Teutonic, Boorara and Comval Project’s) in good standing and working capital.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
On 19 February 2013, the Company’s 80% owned subsidiary, Philco Mining Company changed its name to Agusan Metals Corporation (“AMC”).
Other than as stated in the review of operations or the above, the Group is not aware of any of significant changes in the state of affairs.
FINANCIAL POSITION
As at 30 June 2013, the net assets of the Group are $5,998,496 (2012: $9,785,317).
The Directors believe the Group is in a financial position to pursue its current operations.

(f) US$250,000 within 42 months of execution; and
(g) US$6,000,000 within 48 months of execution.
The Vendors may elect to receive the final US$6,000,000 by way of issue of Shares in the Company (“Consideration Shares”), with the pricing of such Consideration Shares to be calculated on a 30 day VWAP for the 30 trading days prior to the date of that determination. The Company may elect to not continue to earn into the El Roble Project and cease payments at any time and walk away from the El Roble Project, without further financial penalty.
Put and Call Option for further 10% interest in Minera El Roble (to 78%)
Under the Option Agreement, a put-call option is in place whereby the Company may indirectly acquire an additional 10% interest (“Additional Interest”) in Minera El Roble from the Vendors, taking the Company’s indirect interest in Minera El Roble to 78% (“Put and Call Option”).
The Put and Call Option may be exercised on the completion of a feasibility study, or within two years of exercising the Option pursuant to the Option Agreement, whichever occurs first (“Put and Call Option Period”).
Mining Group may elect to exercise its call option to pay an additional amount of US$8,000,000 to the Vendors to acquire the Additional Interest. This payment will be made in Shares at an issue price to be calculated on a 30 day VWAP for the 30 trading days prior to the date of exercise of the put-call option (“Put and Call Option Consideration”) (“Call Option”).
Concurrently, the Vendors have a reciprocal right (via the put option) to require that Mining Group acquires the Additional Interest from the Vendors during the Put and Call Option Period and where the El Roble Project has been declare bankable, for the Put and Call Option Consideration (“Put Option”).
Apex Option Agreement
As outlined above, the Company, Mining Group Chile Ltda, Minera El Roble, the Apex Shareholders and Apex have entered into the Apex Option Agreement pursuant to which the Apex Shareholders and Mining Group Chile Ltda have granted each other an option (a call and put option) to enable Mining Group Chile Ltda to acquire 100% of the shares in Apex, and therefore an additional 12% interest of Minera El Roble, for a purchase price calculated by the formula NPV x 0.7 x 0.12 (“Apex Option Purchase Price”), where NPV is equal to the net present value calculated from a completed feasibility study on the El Roble Project and assessed by an independent expert (“Apex Option”).
The Apex Option Purchase Price will, subject to Shareholder approval at the time, be satisfied through the issue of Shares by Mining Group at an issue price to be calculated on a 30 day VWAP for the 30 trading days prior to the declared completion of a feasibility study.
In the event that Shareholder approval is not obtained to issue the Shares if any when the Apex Option is exercised, the Apex Shareholders will have a right to either receive a cash payment equal to the Apex Option Purchase Price or be free carried for the life of any mine developed on the Concessions.
Vendors’ remaining interest
The Vendors’ remaining interest in the Concessions (ie 20% should the Put and Call Option not be exercised, or 10% should the Put and Call Option be exercised) is free carried until the El Roble Project is bankable, at which time the parties agree to contribute in accordance with their respective interests, or dilute in accordance with the standard dilution provisions contained in the Option Agreement.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES
The Company intends to continue to pursue its goals to acquire, explore, and exploit mineral deposits on its tenements. Concurrently, the Group will continue to seek suitable acquisition and consolidation opportunities, both in Australia and overseas, in gold, base metals and other commodities of interest.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Group is aware of its environmental obligations with regards to its exploration activities and ensures that it complies with all regulations when carrying out any exploration work. The Directors of the Group are not aware of any breach of environmental regulations for the year under review.
The Directors have considered the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the “NGER Act”) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the Directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Group for the current or subsequent financial year. The Directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

Directors’ Report
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The full Board currently fulfils the roles of Remuneration Committee and is governed by the Company’s adopted remuneration policy.
Remuneration Policy
This policy governs the operations of the Remuneration Committee. The Committee shall review and reassess the policy at least annually and obtain the approval of the Board.
Executive Remuneration
The Company’s remuneration policy for executive Directors and senior management is designed to promote superior performance and long term commitment to the Company. Executives receive a base remuneration which is market related, and may be entitled to performance based remuneration at the ultimate discretion of the Board.
Overall remuneration policies are subject to the discretion of the Board and can be changed to reflect competitive market and business conditions where it is in the interests of the Company and shareholders to do so.
Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee having regard to performance, relevant comparative information and expert advice.
The Committee’s reward policy reflects its obligation to align executive’s remuneration with shareholders’ interests and to retain appropriately qualified executive talent for the benefit of the Company. The main principles of the policy are:
-
(a) reward reflects the competitive market in which the Company operates;
-
(b) individual reward should be linked to performance criteria; and
-
(c) executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.
The total remuneration of executives and other senior managers consists of the following:
-
(a) salary - executive Directors and senior managers receive a sum payable monthly in cash;
-
(b) bonus - executive Directors and nominated senior managers are eligible to participate in a bonus or profit participation plan if deemed appropriate;
-
(c) long term incentives - executive Directors may participate in share option schemes with the prior approval of shareholders. Executives may also participate in employee share option schemes, with any option issues generally being made in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders. The Board however, considers it appropriate to retain the flexibility to issue options to executives outside of approved employee option plans in exceptional circumstances; and
-
(d) other benefits - executive Directors and senior managers are eligible to participate in superannuation schemes and other appropriate additional benefits.
Remuneration of other executives consists of the following:
-
(a) salary - senior executives receive a sum payable monthly in cash;
-
(b) bonus - each executive is eligible to participate in a bonus or profit participation plan if deemed appropriate;
-
(c) long term incentives - each senior executive may, where appropriate, participate in share option schemes which have been approved by shareholders; and
-
(d) other benefits – senior executives are eligible to participate in superannuation schemes and other appropriate additional benefits.

Directors’ Report
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (Continued)
Non-Executive Remuneration
Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for Non-Executive Directors. The Remuneration Committee recommends the actual payments to Directors and the Board is responsible for ratifying any recommendations, if appropriate. The maximum aggregate remuneration approved for Non-Executive Directors is currently $200,000.
It is recognised that Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration is ideally structured to exclude equity based remuneration. However, whilst the Company remains small and the full Board, including the Non-Executive Directors, are included in the operations of the Company more closely than may be the case with larger companies the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to participate in equity based remuneration schemes.
All Directors are entitled to have their indemnity insurance paid by the Company.
Bonus or Profit Participation Plan
Performance incentives may be offered to Executive Directors and senior management of the Company through the operation of a bonus or profit participation plan at the ultimate discretion of the Board.
Details of Remuneration for Period Ended 30 June 2012 and the Year Ended 30 June 2013

Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors of Mining Group Limited is responsible for the establishment of a corporate governance framework that has regard to the best practice recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council. Mining Group’s objective is to achieve best practice in corporate governance and the Company’s Board, senior executives and employees are committed to achieving this objective.
This statement summarises the corporate governance practices that have been adopted by the Board. In addition to the information contained in this statement, the Company’s website at www.mininggroup.net.au contains additional details of its corporate governance procedures and practices.
ASX Best Practice Recommendations
The ASX Listing Rules require listed companies to include in their Annual Report a statement disclosing the extent to which they have complied with the ASX best practice recommendations in the reporting period. The recommendations are not prescriptive and if a company considers that a recommendation is inappropriate having regard to its particular circumstances, the company has the flexibility not to adopt it. Where the Company considered it was not appropriate to presently comply with a particular recommendation the reasons are set out in the relevant section of this statement.
The Board has adopted a Corporate Governance policy that (except where expressly noted below) complies with the Listing Rules and the Principles set out in the Second Edition of the “Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments”, established by the ASX Corporate Governance Council and published by the ASX in June 2010 (“ASX Principles”).
Board of Directors
Role and Responsibilities of the Board
The Board is responsible for guiding and monitoring the Company on behalf of shareholders. The specific responsibilities of the Board include:
| (a) | appointment, evaluation, rewarding and if necessary the removal of the Managing Director, Chief |
|---|---|
| Financial Officer (or equivalent) and the Company Secretary; | |
| (b) | in conjunction with management, development of corporate objectives, strategy and operations plans and |
| approving and appropriately monitoring plans, new investments, major capital and operating expenditures, | |
| capital management, acquisitions, divestitures and major funding activities; | |
| (c) | establishing appropriate levels of delegation to the Managing Director to allow him to manage the |
| business efficiently; | |
| (d) | monitoring actual performance against planned performance expectations and reviewing operating |
| information at a requisite level, to understand at all times the financial and operating conditions of the | |
| Company; | |
| (e) | monitoring the performance of senior management including the implementation of strategy, and ensuring |
| appropriate resources are available; | |
| (f) | via management, an appreciation of areas of significant business risk and ensuring that the Company is |
| appropriately positioned to manage those risks; | |
| (g) | overseeing the management of safety, occupational health and environmental matters; |
| (h) | satisfying itself that the financial statements of the Company fairly and accurately set out the financial |
| position and financial performance of the Company for the period under review; |
- 25 -
Corporate Governance
-
(i) satisfying itself that there are appropriate reporting systems and controls in place to assure the Board that proper operational, financial, compliance, and internal control processes are in place and functioning appropriately;
-
(j) to ensure that appropriate internal and external audit arrangements are in place and operating effectively;
-
(k) having a framework in place to help ensure that the Company acts legally and responsibly on all matters consistent with the code of conduct; and
-
(l) reporting to shareholders.
In accordance with ASX Principle 1, the Board has established a Board Charter which sets out functions reserved to Board and those delegated to senior executives. This Charter is available on the Company’s website. The Board has delegated responsibilities and authorities to management to enable management to conduct the Company’s day to day activities. Matters which are not covered by these delegations, such as approvals which exceed certain limits, require Board approval.
Board composition
The Board is comprised of one Executive Director and three Non-Executive Directors.
The Company’s website contains details on the procedures for the selection and appointment of new directors and the reelection of incumbent Directors, together with the Board’s policy for the nomination and appointment of Directors.
ASX Principle 2 recommends the Board establish a Nomination Committee to focus on the selection and appointment practices of the Company. It is further recommended that the Nomination Committee have a formal Charter.
The Company has adopted a formal Nomination Committee Charter, available on the Company’s website, which includes information on the Company’s approach to selection and appointment of Directors. However the Company does not presently have a separate Nomination Committee. As the Board is small, the full Board conducts the function of such a committee, in accordance with the Charter.
The composition of the Board is reviewed at least annually to ensure the balance of skills and experience is appropriate. The current Directors have a broad range of qualifications, experience and expertise in the minerals exploration industry and in the finance and legal industries. The skills, experience and expertise of Directors are set out in the Directors’ Report. The Board considers that the current composition of the Board is adequate for the Company’s current size and operations and includes the appropriate mix of skills and expertise, relevant to the Company’s business.
The names of the Directors in office at the date of this Report, the year they were first appointed, their status as Non-Executive, Executive or independent Directors and whether they are retiring by rotation and seeking re-election by shareholders at the 2013 annual general m eeting, are set out in the Directors’ Report.
Independence of Non-Executive Directors
ASX Principle 2 recommends that a majority of the Board should be independent Directors. The Board considers an independent Director to be a Non-Executive Director who meets the criteria for independence included in ASX Principle 2. Materiality for these purposes is based on quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of over 5% of the annual turnover of the Company or 5% of the individual Director’s net worth is considered material for these purposes.
The Board has reviewed and considered the positions and associations of each of the Directors in office at the date of this report and consider that half of the Directors are not independent.
- 26 -
Corporate Governance
Currently the Board is comprised of two independent Directors, Winton Willesee and Colin Johnstone, and two nonindependent Directors, Zeffron Reeves, who acts in an executive capacity as the Managing Director, and Robert Butchart, a nominee of Cadan Resources Corporation, which is a major shareholder of Mining Group Limited. Notwithstanding that the current composition of the Board does not meet the requirements of ASX Principle 2, the Board considers that the composition of the Board is adequate for the Company's current size and operations, and includes an appropriate mix of skills and expertise, relevant to the Company's business. The Board has formed the view that the individuals on the Board can, and do make quality judgements in the best interests of the Company on all relevant issues.
Independent professional advice
The Board has adopted a formal policy on access to independent professional advice which provides that Directors are entitled to seek independent professional advice for the purposes of the proper performance of their duties. The advice is at the Company’s expense and advice so obtained is to be made available to all Directors.
Meetings
The Board held 14 scheduled meetings during the reporting year and no unscheduled meetings were held during the year. The eligibility to attend and attendance of Directors at Board meetings during the year ended 30 June 2013 is detailed in the Directors’ Report.
Evaluation of Board and Senior Executive performance
A process has been established to review and evaluate the performance of the Board, individual Directors and senior executives. The Board is required to meet annually with the specific purpose of reviewing the role of the Board, assessing the performance of the Board and individual Directors over the previous 12 months and examining ways in which the Board can better perform its duties. The Company’s annual Board review took place in February 2013.
The Managing Director is responsible for assessing the performance of the key executives within the Company on an annual basis.
Remuneration
ASX Principle 8 recommends the Board establish a Remuneration Committee to focus on appropriate remuneration policies. It is further recommended that the Remuneration Committee have a formal Charter.
The Company has adopted a formal Remuneration Committee Charter, available on the Company’s website, which includes information on the Company’s approach to remuneration of Directors (executive and non-executive) and senior executives. However the Company does not presently have a separate Remuneration Committee. Given the small size of the Board, the full Board conducts the function of such a committee, in accordance with the Charter.
In accordance with ASX Principle 8, Executive Directors and key executives are remunerated by way of a salary or consultancy fees, commensurate with their required level of services. Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed monthly fee for their services. Non-Executive Directors’ fees are currently capped at $200,000 per annum.
Following receipt of shareholder approval, the Company issued Options to Non-Executive Directors Winton Willesee and Cobb Johnstone. The Company acknowledges that the guidelines to ASX Principle 8 recommend that Non-Executive Directors do not receive options. However under the Company’s current circumstances, the Directors considered the issue to be a cost
- 27 -
Corporate Governance
effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash consideration that would be necessary for someone with the experience of Messrs Willesee and Johnstone.
The Company does not have any scheme relating to retirement benefits for Non-Executive Directors.
See the Remuneration Report for details of remuneration paid to Directors and key executives during the year.
Risk Management
In accordance with ASX Principle 7, the Company has a policy for the oversight and management of material business risks, which is available on the Company’s website.
Management determines the Company’s risk profile and is responsible for overseeing and approving risk management strategy and policies, internal compliance and internal control. The Company’s process of risk management and internal compliance and control includes:
-
(a) establishing the Company’s goals and objectives, and implementing and monitoring strategies and policies to achieve these goals and objectives;
-
(b) continuously identifying and reacting to risks that might impact upon the achievement of the Company’s goals and objectives, and monitoring the environment for emerging factors and trends that affect these risks;
-
(c) formulating risk management strategies to manage identified risks and designing and implementing appropriate risk management policies and internal controls; and
-
(d) monitoring the performance of, and continuously improving the effectiveness of, risk management systems and internal compliance and controls, including an ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and control.
Within the identified risk profile of the Company, comprehensive practices are in place that are directed towards achieving the following objectives:
-
(a) effectiveness and efficiency in the use of the Company’s resources;
-
(b) compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
-
(c) preparation of reliable published financial information.
The Board oversees an ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and control, requiring management appraise the Board of changing circumstances within the Company and within the international business environment. During the reporting period, the Managing Director regularly reported to the Board as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks. Further, in accordance with ASX Principle 7, the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have confirmed in writing to the Board that:
-
(a) the Company’s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.
-
(b) the above confirmation is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies of the Board; and
-
(c) the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.
Financial Reporting
ASX Principle 4 recommends the Board establish an Audit Committee to focus on issues relevant to the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting. It is further recommended the Audit Committee have a formal Charter.
- 28 -
Corporate Governance
The Company has prepared a formal Audit Committee Charter, available from the Company’s website, which promotes an environment consistent with best practice financial reporting and includes information on procedures for the selection and appointment of the external auditor and for the rotation of external audit engagement partners. However due to the small size of the Board, the Company does not presently have a separate Audit Committee. The full Board conducts the function of such a committee, in accordance with the Charter.
Code of Conduct
The Board encourages appropriate standards of conduct and behaviour from Directors, officers, employees and contractors of the Company.
The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct, available from the Company’s website. This Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure that it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity.
A fundamental theme is that all business affairs are conducted legally, ethically and with strict observance of the highest standards of integrity and propriety.
The Board has established a Diversity Policy in accordance with ASX Principle 3. However, given the small size of the Company and its current stage of operations, the Board has opted not to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity and as a result cannot assess such objectives and progress toward achieving them.
To provide an accurate reflection of the proportion of women across the whole organisation, the Company has opted to include contractors, casual and part-time employees in the statistics below, which show the proportion of women in the organisation as at the date of this report:
| Board | Nil |
|---|---|
| Senior Executives | 25% |
| Employees/Contractors | 29% |
Securities Trading
As required by Listing Rule 12.12, the Board has adopted a Securities Trading Policy which regulates dealings by Directors, offices and employees in securities issued by the Company.
Under the policy, which is available on the Company’s website, general restrictions are imposed on Directors and employees when in possession of inside information, while additional trading restrictions apply to Directors and some employees.
The policy regulates trading by key management personnel within defined closed periods, as well as providing details of trading not subject to the policy, exceptional circumstances in which key management personnel may be permitted to trade during a prohibited period with prior written clearance and the procedure for obtaining written clearance.
The Company prohibits Directors and employees from entering into transactions in associated products which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity based remuneration schemes.
- 29 -
Corporate Governance
Privacy
The Company has resolved to comply with the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988, to the extent required for a company the size and nature of the Company.

In accordance with ASX Principle 5, the Board has an established Continuous Disclosure Policy which is available from the Company’s website.
The Company is committed to:
(a) complying with the general and continuous disclosure principles contained in the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing rules;
- (b) preventing the selective or inadvertent disclosure of material price sensitive information;
(c) ensuring shareholders and the market are provided with full and timely information about the Company’s activities; and

The Managing Director and Company Secretary have primary responsibility for communication with shareholders. Information is communicated through:

Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report includes the financial statements and notes of Mining Group Limited and controlled entities (“consolidated entity”). The separate financial statements and notes of Mining Group Limited as an individual parent entity (“Company”) have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 .
The financial report was authorised for issue on 27 September 2013 by the Directors of the Company.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report covers Mining Group Limited and its subsidiaries, and has been prepared in Australian dollars. Mining Group Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
a. Adoption of new and revised standards
Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards
In the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group has 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 Group accounting policies. However, amendments made to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements effective 1 July 2012 now require the statement of comprehensive income to show the items of comprehensive income grouped into those that are not permitted to be reclassified to profit or loss in a future period and those that may have to be reclassified if certain conditions are met.
The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2013. As a result of this review, the Directors do not expect any impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies. The new Accounting Standards applicable in future periods are set out in Note 27.
b. Income Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
- 35 -
Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
b. Income tax (continued)
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
-
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
-
when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
c. Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
d. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
-
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
-
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e. Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and acquisition expenditure on areas of interest will normally be expensed but will be assessed on a case by case basis and may be capitalised to areas of interest and carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. When an area of interest is abandoned or the Directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future. Where projects have advanced to the stage that Directors have made a decision to mine, they are classified as development properties. When further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a development property, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the cost of that development property only when substantial future economic benefits are established. Otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production or written off where production has not commenced.
f. Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the economic entity, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the year.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the years in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
g. Financial Instruments
Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
g. Financial instruments (continued)
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
(v) Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
h. Fair value
Fair value is determined based on the last trading price for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
i. Impairment
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account.
The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
- 38 -
Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
i. Impairment (continued)
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost (continued)
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.
(ii) Financial assets carried at cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
(iii) Available-for-sale investments
If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
(iv) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Groups of assets and the asset's value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).
- 39 -
Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(iv) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill (continued)
An assessment is also made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
j. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.
Equity-settled compensation
The entity operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
k. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate assets but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
l. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 12 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
m. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Interest income
Interest income 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 services tax (GST).
n. Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.
o. Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the assets using the Straight line method as follows:
Plant and equipment – 2 - 5 years Furniture and Fixtures – 2 - 5 years Computer equipment – 2 - 5 years Structures and improvements – 5 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item.
- 41 -
Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
o. Plant and equipment (continued)
Derecognition and disposal
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
p. Trade and payables
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
q. Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
r. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the Directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact the Directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
- 42 -
Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
r. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (continued)
Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of Directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the Directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that Directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.
Key Judgements – Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance sheet date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in Note 1(e).
Key Judgements –Share based payment transactions
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
s. Operating segments
Identification and measurement of segments – AASB 8 requires the ‘management approach’ to the identification measurement and disclosure of operating segments. The ‘management approach’ requires that operating segments be identified on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing performance. This could also include the identification of operating segments which sell primarily or exclusively to other internal operating segments.
t. Foreign currency translation
Both the functional and presentation currency of Mining Group Limited and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.
All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
The functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries, Agusan Metals Corporation, Marlin Mining Corporation, and MNE Philippine Realty, Inc is Philippines peso, “Php”.
The functional currency of Mining Group Chile Limitada is Chilean peso, “CLP”.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
t. Foreign currency translation (continued)
As at the balance date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Mining Group Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.
The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity, being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.
On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.
In addition, in relation to the partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over a subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

During the year ended 30 June 2013, the Directors have impaired the Comval Project by $16,850,354, of which $8,324,539 has been charged directly to its profit or loss. The balance of $8,525,415 has been offset against the fair value of the Cadan loan as disclosed in Note 13.
The value of Company interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
-
the continuance of the economic entity rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
the results of future exploration; and
-
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploration of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.
The exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Aboriginal people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

The loan payable represents advances from the former Parent, Cadan Resources Corporation to Agusan Metals Corporation (formerly Philco Mining Corporation), which had been made prior to the acquisition of Agusan Metals Corporation by Mining Group.
The loan terms are stipulated in the shareholders’ agreement between MNE Holdings Pty Ltd, Mining Group Limited, Philco Holdings Inc, Cadan Resources Corporation and Agusan Metals Corporation (formerly Philco Mining Corporation). The significant provisions of the loan are as follows:
-
(a) The shareholders loan from Cadan and MNE Holdings shall accrue interest based on London Interbank offered Rate (LIBOR) and a margin of three percent (3%) per annum; accruing upon commencement of commercial production.
-
(b) Except as the Shareholders may otherwise agree in writing subsequent to the execution of the Agreement, both the loan from Cadan and the MNE Holdings loan shall be non-recourse to the Company;
-
(c) Cadan Resources Corporation, Philco Holdings Inc., and MNE Holdings will not have the right to demand repayment from Agusan Metals Corp (formerly Philco Mining Corp); and
-
(d) The repayments of the Loan from Cadan and MNE Holdings will only commence within 12 months from commercial production and repayment in full not to exceed the original planned life for the project.
At 30 June 2013, the Company re-valued the loan to an estimated fair value of $1,963,497. The loan terms are such that the timing of its repayment is based on the Comval Project achieving commercial production, as at the date of this report the time frames surrounding development of the Comval Project are uncertain. In calculating the fair value of the loan management have used a best estimate for Comval achieving commercial production and the subsequent future loan repayments.
Management’s assumptions on the timing of the loan repayments in calculating the fair value of the loan are as follows:
-
(a) Loan repayments to commence within 12 months of commercial operations;
-
(b) Commercial operations to start 2 years after sole funding period ends (Jan 2017) i.e. commercial operations to start January 2019 and loan repayments to commence January 2020;
-
(c) The loan will be repaid by 2022; and
-
(d) A discount rate of 25% used to calculate the present value of the loan.

Ordinary shareholders participate in dividends and the proceeds in winding up of the parent entity in proportion to the shares held.
b) Capital management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2013 is disclosed in Note 16.

NOTE 19. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES
On 17 January 2012, the Company’s 100% wholly owned subsidiary, MNE Holdings Pty Ltd (“MNE”), acquired 80% of the voting shares of Agusan Metals Corporation (“AMC”) (formerly Philco Mining Corp), a company registered in the Philippines.
As part of the facilitation agreement the following contingencies may have to be met. For further details refer to the Prospectus lodged 22 December 2011.
-
a) When (and if) the Company’s share price trades at or above $1 for 30 consecutive days, issue to Cadan 2,600,000 fully paid ordinary shares;
-
b) If, within 24 months of settlement of the Acquisition (which period may be extended by up to a further 24 months).

NOTE 23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial Risk Management
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments, and accounts receivable and payable.
The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations.
Derivatives are not currently used by the Group for hedging purposes. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments.
The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:
| Note Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents 6 Other receivables 8 Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities |
2013 $ 1,719,095 84,927 1,804,022 |
2012 $ 877,746 321,011 |

799,757 12,043,390 |
| 12,843,147 |
i. Treasury Risk Management
The full Board of the Company meet on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts.
ii. Financial Risks
The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments, and accounts receivable and payable. The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, and market risk (being equity price risk).
Interest rate risk
The Group does not have any debt that may be affected by interest rate risk. As disclosed in Note 14, interest on the shareholders loan from Cadan accrues upon commencement of commercial production which is not expected to occur before July 2018.
Currency Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commitments, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the Group. The Group deposits are denominated in both Philippines Peso and Australian dollars. At the year end the majority of loans payable were held in Canadian dollars. Currently there are no foreign exchange programs in place. The Group treasury function manages the purchase of foreign currency to meet operational requirements. The impact of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates for the Group has potential to be material. The Group monitors this risk on a regular basis.
Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2013, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 75 basis points from the weighted average rate for the period with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Group would have been $12,893 (2012: $6,583) lower/higher as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.
- 58 -
Notes to Financial Statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013
NOTE 23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk by preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities and monitoring its cash assets and assets readily convertible to cash in the context of its forecast future cash flows. The Group continually monitors its access to additional equity capital should that be required, maintains a reputable credit profile and manages the credit risk of its financial assets.
Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the full Board in accordance with approved Board policy.
Cash and cash equivalents

Market Risk – Equity/Securities Price Risk
The Group is not exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer term as no such investments are currently held.
(b) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount.
(c) Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities comprises:

NOTE 24. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of business category and geographical areas. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.
Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated proportionately to the applicable segments based on its use. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.
Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.
Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

The Group has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. Of the above new and amended Standards and Interpretations the Group's assessment of those new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the Group but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:
- AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010-7 and AASB 2012-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010). These Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.
The key changes made to accounting requirements include:
-
simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;
-
simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;
-
removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;
-
removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;
-
allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument
-
requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity's business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and
-
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity's own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.
The Group does not expect any impact of these pronouncements on its financial statements to be material.
- AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011), AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011) and AASB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) and Interpretation 112: Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. The Group does not expect any material impact of this Standard on its financial statements.
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint arrangements to be classified as either "joint operations" (whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or 'joint ventures" (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint ventures are required to adopt the equity method of accounting (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed).

| Effective for | Expected to be | |
|---|---|---|

| periods | in the financial | |

| **Standard/Interpretation ** | after |
AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a "structured entity", replacing the 'special purpose entity" concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structured entities. This Standard will only affect disclosures and is not expected to significantly impact the Group.
To facilitate the application of AASBs 10, 11 and 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued. These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.
- AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.
AASB 13 requires:
-
inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and
-
enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and financial liabilities) measured at fair value.
These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.
- AASB 2011-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to remove the individual ley management Personnel Disclosure Requirements ((applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
This standard makes amendments to AASB 124; Related Party Disclosures to remove the individual key management personnel disclosure requirements (including paras Aus 29.1 to Aus 29.9.3). These amendments serve a number of purposes, including furthering the trans-Tasman conversion, removing differences from IFRSs, and avoiding any potential confusion with the equivalent Corporations Act 2001 disclosure requirements.
This standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial report as a whole.
AASB 119 (September 2011) includes changes to the accounting for termination benefits.
The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these changes to AASB 119.
AASB 2012-2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards-Disclosures-Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities’ (Amendments to AASB 7); AASB 2012-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards-Disclosures-Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities’ (Amendments to AASB 132); AASB 2012-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements cycle’; AASB 2012-6 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting StandardsMandatory Effective date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures’; and Interpretation 20 ‘Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine’ and AASB 2011-12 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 20’.
These standards are not expected to impact the Group.

In note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s 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.
