In Brief

The financial year 2012-2013 was a challenging period for Stone Resources Australia Limited (SRAL). We encountered difficulties with operation as well as with funding.

Thanks to the diligence of the Company staff and shareholders, most of the problems were resolved.

The company's main achievements

  • Payout all debts of A1 Minerals Ltd;
  • Expansion of gold resources via exploration activities;
  • Remediation of long-standing environmental issues that have been inherited on various mining leases;
  • Upgrading the processing mill to prepare for the earliest possible production commencement date;
  • Submission of a proposal to mine at the Ben Hur Deposit, north of Laverton.

1, Settlement of all debts and appropriate allocation of funds

  • An agreement was reached to payout major mining contractor, Watpac Civil & Mining Ltd. Payout totaled approximately \$14m.
  • From November 2011 to October 2013, an injection of funds totaling (approximately) \$19m has been provided by our controlling shareholder. The funds are used to support daily operation, exploration projects, to manage debt disputes.
  • More than \$2m has been spent on equipment for the processing mill upgrade.

2, New Exploration Projects

Since 28 March 2012, RC drilling has been undertaken on three tenements:

3, Addressing Environmental Issues

SRAL has made considerable progress in rectifying non-compliances identified by the Department of Mines and Petroleum at its various sites. The majority of these noncompliances have been inherited by previous tenement holders. The underlying goal is to achieve approval to mine the Ben Hur deposit whilst simultaneously achieving statutory compliance across all its sites.

Plugging all the drill holes

Removal and appropriate disposal of sample bags

Upgrading and installing abandonment bunding walls

Distribution of topsoil

4, Upgrading the processing mill

With the financial support of the controlling shareholder, the Company are upgrading plant equipment such as the cone crusher, Ball mill, vibrating screens and Wheel loader in readiness for future production.

Equipment installation on site

New ball mill

5, Recommencing mining and production

Closing Comments

Over the past several months, the Company has actively carried out the preparatory work required for commencing mining and production. It is our belief that the proposed project will generate a reasonable profit for the shareholders.

Closing Comments

Meanwhile, the Company is also geared for further exploration with a view to locating the next resource whilst mining and production for the Ben Hur project are being undertaken.

I am confident that the preparatory work to commence mining and production will yield positive results. The Company's future prospect looks bright and I sincerely believe it will bring abundant rewards to our shareholders.

Thank You !
