Letter from the Chairman

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of my fellow directors, it is with pleasure I present to you Buxton Resources Limited's Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015.

Buxton is led by our CEO, Eamon Hannon, and the entire team including all directors, employees, consultants and advisors is working towards building shareholder wealth through successful exploration and project development. We work as a team and are conscious of the Company's responsibilities to all shareholders.

I believe that we have a Board and group of consultants who have the knowledge, breadth of experience and determination to fulfil the objectives of the Company.

The company is well funded and has a tight capital structure which should mean shareholders are well placed to increase their wealth should the company have exploration success. Buxton has several projects with upside potential, through which we will try to realise value for shareholders.

The success of Buxton Resources Limited has been and continues to be a team effort and I take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors, CEO, geology team and our corporate advisors for their efforts and contribution to Buxton Resources 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 it fulfils its objectives.

Seamus Cornelius

Non-Executive Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Double Magic Ni & Cu – West Kimberley

Figure 1. Location of the Double Magic Ni-Cu Project in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Also shown is the location of Panoramic's Savannah Ni-Cu Mine.

During the period, Buxton acquired a 100% interest in the Double Magic Nickel Project in the Kimberley region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The project containing at least three existing, "walk-up" drill targets that were either untested or only partially tested by previous drilling. Additionally, re-interpretation of geological and geophysical datasets by Buxton's consultants and experienced geological team has shown that all conductors occur within the known nickel host rock, the Ruins Dolerite, and therefore have a strong chance of being due to nickel sulphides (not graphite or barren iron sulphides).

Buxton has acquired a 100% interest in the four highly prospective tenements (the Double Magic Nickel Project totaling ~93km2 ) in return for issuing the vendors 1,666,666 fully paid Buxton shares. In addition, Buxton will issue the vendors up to three tranches of milestone shares when specific technical hurdles are met (total cumulative value of all three tranches is approximately \$120,000).

Regional Geology

The Double Magic Project lies within the King Leopold Orogen which is comprised of Palaeoproterozoic schists and igneous rocks of the Hooper Complex and the deformed margins of the Speewah and Kimberley Basins (Figure 1). Within the Hooper Complex, schists of the Marboo Formation are intruded by thick sills of Ruins Dolerite (Figure 2).

Sills of the Ruins Dolerite host the known nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The sills are indistinctly layered, contain pods of meta-peridotite and are up to several hundred metres thick. The Ruins Dolerite is very similar in age and composition to intrusions in the Halls Creek Orogen such as the Sally Malay Suite that hosts the Savannah Nickel-Copper Mine of Panoramic Resources.

Project Geology & Previous Exploration

The project area is characterized by mica schists of the Marboo Formation which are intruded by sills of Ruins Dolerite. Granitoids of the Paperbark Supersuite occur in the north-east of the project area (Figure 2).

At Jack's Hill, a copper-nickel gossan occurs near the contact of the Ruins Dolerite and the mica schists of the Marboo Formation. To the west and north-west of the gossans several large hills comprised of Ruins Dolerite occur. Initial exploration at the project focused on the Jack's Hill gossan. In 2007, two RC drill programs and one ground EM survey highlighted wide spread low-grade (typically ~0.2-0.4% Ni) sulphide mineralisation in the vicinity of the gossan.

In 2013 a helicopter VTEM survey identified eight significant conductors (Figure 2), with five located within a ~1.5km radius and interpreted to be associated with the margins of multiple Ruins Dolerite sills. These five VTEM conductors were further followed up with ground EM which resulted in the definition of seven discrete bedrock conductors.

A four hole drill program was undertaken to test these ground EM conductors. Two of the holes (CHRC012 & CHRC013) intersected highly encouraging, significant Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation. Importantly, both the most conductive target and separately the largest conductor, were not drill tested in the program.

Observations from Mapping and Rock-chip Sampling

Buxton's geologists conducted further detailed geological mapping and rock-chip sampling around the central zone of targets at Double Magic. Major observations and results included:

  • Identification of a discrete, coarse grained gabbro unit interpreted to be located stratigraphically below a high-Mg dolerite unit (Ruins Dolerite)
  • A rock-chip sample located up-dip from the modelled plate at Conductor D returned modal percentages of nickel, copper and iron sulphides indicative of a primary magmatic source. Conductor D is located just above a distinctive gabbro unit and thus is tentatively interpreted to be located toward the base of the high-Mg dolerite unit – an ideal location for an accumulation of sulphides (Figure 3)
  • At Conductor A, a 200m+ long zone of high-grade nickel-copper gossan outcrop has now been defined
  • At Conductor C, a number of highly anomalous nickel-copper assays were returned from rock-chip samples
  • Geochemical analysis of all anomalous nickel-copper rock-chip samples show that they are from a primary sulphide source and predominantly not related to surface enrichment (Figure 4)

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

New Nickel-Copper Discovery at the Double Magic Project

On 10th August 2015, Buxton advised that it had discovered significant nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation in its first reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its 100% owned Double Magic Nickel-Copper (Ni-Cu) Project in Western Australia.

Assay results have been received for the strongly mineralised section of the discovery RC drill hole DMRC0003 which intersected 8 metres at 3.05% nickel and 1.87% copper from 50 metres, within a broader intersection of 14 metres at 2.04% nickel and 1.36% copper from 47 metres down hole (see further details in Table 1 & 2 below).

DMRC0003 intersected 8 metres of massive and matrix sulphides from 50 metres, within a 15 metre broader zone of disseminated sulphide. There were several additional disseminated sulphide zones and one 1 metre massive sulphide zone from 41m. Note, all widths are down hole as true widths are not currently known.

The massive and matrix sulphide intersections with visible pentlandite (nickel sulphide), chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) from DMRC0003 are shown below in Figures 5 & 6. Mineralisation is hosted within metamorphosed mafic (dolerite/gabbro) rocks of the Proterozoic Ruins Dolerite.

All drill holes completed during the program have been cased for downhole EM geophysics. This downhole survey will assist with the detection of any additional off-hole EM conductors and better define the orientation of known conductive bodies.

Phase One Drill Program Results

Final assay data for all Phase One drilling has now been received, with significant (>0.25% Ni) mineralisation intersected in a total of six drillholes. All such significant intercepts are listed in Table 1 overleaf, with details of all Buxton drillholes included as Table 2.

Recent mapping in the area of known conductors has indicated the mafic sequence/cycle may be locally overturned, and that a chrome-rich unit in the dolerites may provide vectors to possible mineralisation sites.

The presence of multiple younger, less deformed and highly magnetic dolerite dykes cross-cutting the more typical Ruins Dolerite has also been recognised (Figure 8). One of these apparently barren dykes is proximal to the mineralisation intersected in DMRC0003, and appears to have some displacement across it, suggesting dyke emplacement may have exploited pre-existing structural features. Hole DMRC0002 drilled directly down one such dyke.

Mapping and down-hole TEM results from DMRC0002 indicate that a conductive source may extend down-dip from the intersection in DMRC0003, on the other side of the barren dyke. This potential down-dip extension is the most obvious initial target for Phase Two drilling.

Drillholes, topography, mapped/interpreted surface geology, and modelled conductive plates have been loaded into 3D-capable GIS software and evaluated. Ongoing interpretation and planning is being conducted on-site in a full 3D environment.

Interim Exploration Update

Exploration at the Double Magic Project continues at the time of writing this report. As reported on the 21st September 2015, Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling continues, with a total of 1,208 metres drilled during Phase Two (Table 3). A heliborne VTEMmax survey has commenced, planned to cover the rest the remaining two thirds of Buxton's tenement holding at the Project.

Recent holes DMRC0016 (passing just below and at right angles to DMRC0003) and DMRC0017 (70 metres from DMRC0003 and on the other side of the barren dyke) intersected comparable widths of Ni-Cu sulphides visually estimated to be of similar tenor to that in discovery hole DMRC0003, potentially indicating high grade mineralisation on both sides of the barren dyke.

DMRC0016 intersected 12 metres of nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation as follows:

  • 5 metres of massive and matrix sulphides from 41 metres, within a broader zone of;
  • 12 metres of disseminated sulphides from 40 to 52 metres down hole.

DMRC0017 intersected 10 metres of nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation as follows:

  • 4 metres of matrix sulphides from 54 metres, within a broader zone of;
  • 10 metres of disseminated sulphides from 51 to 61 metres down hole.

Step out hole DMRC0019 was collared approximately 35m south-west of DMRC0003, inclined at -75o towards the north-east, designed to test for strike extensions of the previously reported mineralised intercepts in DMRC0003 and DMRC0016. The following visual observations were recorded:

DMRC0019 intersected 10 metres of nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation as follows:

  • 5 metres of massive and matrix sulphides from 48 metres, within a broader zone of;
  • 10 metres of disseminated sulphides from 47 metres down hole.

DMRC0020 was drilled 30 metres south-east of DMRC0003 at -80o inclination towards the north-east, and returned only minor visible sulphide mineralisation from 52-54 metres down-hole.

ZANTHUS NI-CU PROJECT (100% BUXTON)

The Company's 100% owned, highly prospective Zanthus Ni-Cu Project is located 60km along strike from Sirius Resources' Nova-Bollinger Ni-Cu discovery in the Fraser Range Nickel province, Western Australia.

During the period, Buxton completed a reverse circulation (RC) drill program, aircore (AC) drill program, a moving-loop electromagnetic (MLTEM) survey and a detailed aeromagnetic survey at its Zanthus Project.

The new MLTEM survey was designed to cover the ~1km strike length of the corridor containing VTEM/MLTEM conductors associated with magmatic nickel-copper sulphides at Oaktree. The new MLTEM survey defined seven new electromagnetic conductors with two of these (ZM07 & ZM02) deemed high-priority targets for potential magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation.

Petrographic studies on the mafic-ultramafic rocks intersected in the RC drilling program further confirmed the presence of early 'primary' magmatic nickel-copper sulphides at several locations (Figure 13). Detailed geological, geophysical, petrological and geochemical studies are continuing on these targets to better understand the mafic-ultramafic magmatic system.

Figure 12. New (high priority) MLTEM target ZM07, showing modelled conductor and MLTEM lines and stations. Left: plan view, Right: oblique section

The Company's drilling program targeted two conductors, ZM02 and ZM07. Hole ZRC095 on conductor ZM02 was completed at 306m with a zone of disseminated pyrrhotite and minor chalcopyrite in gneiss over 20m explaining the conductor. Samples have been dispatched to the laboratory and assays will be reported when available.

Zanthus hole ZRC096 targeting the large ZM07 conductor at ~700m depth has been temporarily suspended at 256m due to technical difficulties associated with running sands in the top 40m of the hole. ZRC096 is to be continued at a later date once appropriate steel casing is manufactured to case the top 40m of the hole. Additionally, the drilling contractor has undertaken to re-mobilise to Zanthus and re-enter ZRC096 at no cost to Buxton.

YALBRA GRAPHITE PROJECT

E09/1986 (85% Buxton), Coordewandy (90% Buxton), Gum Creek Well (100% Buxton)

The Yalbra Graphite Project is located 250km North West of Meekatharra and 280km East of Carnarvon, Western Australia, and covers an area of 37km2 . The Yalbra Graphite Project has a significant preliminary global Exploration Target of 8-12 Million Tonnes @ 7 - 11% TGC (total graphitic carbon)*.

* The potential quality and grade of the Yalbra Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

RC and diamond drilling during 2014 has confirmed and extended graphite mineralisation defined in the 2013 drilling program (Figures 14 & 15). Of particular note is the identification of a new and very wide zone of graphite in drill-hole YBRC028 which returned a down-hole intercept of 127m @ 13.4% TGC. This intercept remains open, with the hole having finished in 1m grading 28.9% TGC. Additionally, intercepts in YBRC029 show that graphite mineralisation extends west of the currently defined resource area. The major zones of graphite mineralisation are also generally open in most positions along strike to the west, and at depth.

Buxton reported an updated Mineral Resource estimate, in accordance with the JORC (2012) Code, for the Main Zone at Yalbra of 4.02Mt @ 16.17% TGC (Inferred) which Buxton believes is the highest reported grade JORC graphite resource in Australia. The deposit has significant potential to be expanded along strike and at depth.

Buxton reported initial flotation and acid purification test-work results for its high-grade Yalbra Graphite Project in Western Australia.

Flotation batch test results from a representative fresh rock diamond drill sample grading 20.0% C(t) returned a concentrate grade of 91% C(t). This concentrate showed a good proportion of medium to coarse flake material with 30% falling into categories above +149 microns in size (Table 1). The overall recovery of graphite was 80%, although this should be improved in future locked cycle tests. The process involved a primary grind, a rougher flotation stage, 2 stages of polishing grind and 5 cleaner flotation stages.

A final leaching stage using a combined H2SO4/HF solution to upgrade the concentrate was also completed and showed that a final concentrate grading 99.5% C(t) could be achieved, with the coarser size fractions grading as high as 99.7% C(t).

The project continues to represent an exciting opportunity for the Company to delineate to gain exposure to the buoyant graphite market with current prices and future demand outlook for the market remaining positive.

Buxton has shown commercial products can be produced from its very high grade Yalbra Graphite Project. As such, the Company is now in a position to seek a development and/or offtake partner to assist in commercialising the project.

DEMPSTER

Dempster E63/1582 (90% Buxton), E63/1595, E63/1525, E63/1596, E63/1634 (100% Buxton)

Buxton has acquired a significant ground position totalling 1,365km2 prospective for nickel-copper and gold deposits at Dempster within the Albany Fraser Orogen. This project straddles the interpreted boundary of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton and the Proterozoic Albany Fraser Orogen and has a similar tectonic position to the Tropicana Gold Deposit.

In addition, historical work at the Dempster Project has identified significant nickel surface calcrete anomalies. One of these, the Prickle prospect, was drilled and shown to be underlain by a mafic-ultramafic rock package including gabbros and dunites. Peak results were 0.25% Ni and 348ppm Cu, indicating potential fertile source rocks for nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation.

Historical BHP drilling also intersected 1m @ 0.7 ppm Au at the base of a RAB drill hole.

Exploration work by other exploration companies in the area has defined a number of high quality Ni-Cu sulphide targets immediately along strike from Buxton's tenements. The Company is excited about the potential at Dempster.

Figure 16. Location of the Company's Dempster tenements in relation to other companies' projects and major prospects.

WIDOWMAKER NI-CU PROJECT (100% BUXTON)

The Widowmaker Ni-Cu Project is located approximately 22km along strike from Sirius Resources' (ASX: SIR) Nova-Bollinger Ni-Cu discovery in the emerging Fraser Range Nickel Province, Western Australia. The project covers an area of 225km2 , and over 20km of potential strike of the gneiss units that host "the Eye" mafic – ultramafic intrusive that contains the Nova-Bollinger deposit.

A calcrete sampling program was completed at Widowmaker to follow up a significant area of very strong multimetal anomalism along a regional shear zone. The metal association over this anomaly variable includes Ni-Cu-Co-Cr-As. The broad anomaly is in the order of 3km long, whilst a central core zone has a strike length of approximately 700m (Figure 17).

The sampling program conducted nominally at 40m x 200m spacing also identified a number of other weaker multi-metal anomalies which will require infill sampling in the future. Peak results at the main calcrete anomaly were: 143ppm Ni, 115ppm Cu, 25ppm Co, 1,130 ppm Cr & 137ppm As. Statistics of the Widowmaker calcrete sampling program are listed in Table 4 below.

NORTHAMPTON BASE METALS PROJECT (100% BUXTON) E66/85, E66/86, E66/87

The Northampton project area is located 477km North of Perth, along the Northwest Coastal Highway between Geraldton (in the South) and Ajana (in the North). The Northampton project area includes two tenement applications, E66/88 and E66/87 for a total area of 872 km2 (Figure 18). The main target commodities in this project are Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Au. The principal target style is structurally controlled polymetallic sulphide veins and pods.

The Northampton area has been explored and mined since the early 1800s, with mining commencing in 1842. The majority of production has been centred on the towns of Northampton and Pindadanno in the Galena area.

Recorded historic production from all mines was approximately 77,000t of lead, 4,300t of copper, 42t of zinc, and 210kg of silver. Mining concentrated predominantly on lead and copper; zinc ore was discarded and ignored in exploration due to its low value at the time.

Most of the more recent (1970's to present) exploration in the area has involved detailed sampling and drilling around known abandoned mines, looking for extensions either at depth or along strike. The deepest historic mine development in the area was to 150m although greater than 60% of the mines did not go below 50m suggesting some potential may remain below this depth at existing mines

All of the deposits found historically have outcropped at the surface. Little is documented on the exploration for "blind" ore deposits. The scarcity of outcrop in the area indicates that there is excellent potential for "blind" deposits.

Buxton's principal focus at the Northampton Project will be to target new base metal targets in areas of thin Silurian to Permian cover along with recent cover. Many of these areas are surrounded by historic mines with mineralisation controlling structure having indicated continuity beneath the cover in aeromagnetic data. This provides a high level of encouragement that obscured mineralised positions are likely to be present.

The potential development of a deep water port at Oakajee adds additional upside to development of any discoveries made in the area as does the proximity to services and a ready labour supply in the Geraldton to Northampton region.

Risk Management

The board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the board.

The Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the board has not established a separate risk management committee.

The board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the board. These include the following:

• Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to meet stakeholder's needs and manage business risk.

• Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Other than as disclosed in this Annual Report, no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company occurred during the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

Subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company raised the sum of \$2,000,700 through the placement of 10,260,000 shares to institutional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of 19.5 cents per share. The funds raised will be used primarily to fund further evaluation and a drilling program at the Double Magic Nickel-Copper project in Western Australia.

On 10th August 2015 the Company announced the discovery of significant nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation in its first reverse circularisation (RC) drilling program at its 100% owned Double Magic Nickel Copper (Ni-Cu) project in Western Australia (refer to the Company ASX announcement for further details).

Other than the above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The Company expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the entity's operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Company is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities.

The Company aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Company are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation 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 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 Company for the current, nor subsequent, financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Buxton Resources Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives. The board of Buxton Resources Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company.

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The relevant directors and executive receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.50%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited) (continued)

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently \$300,000). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Performance based remuneration

The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and directors' and executives' remuneration

No relationship exists between shareholder wealth, director and executive remuneration and Company performance.

Details of remuneration

Details of the remuneration of the directors, the key management personnel (as defined in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures) and specified executives of Buxton Resources Limited are set out in the following table.

The key management personnel of Buxton Resources Limited include the directors as per page 24 above.

Given the size and nature of operations of Buxton Resources Limited, there are no other employees who are required to have their remuneration disclosed in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

30 JUNE 2015

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The financial statements are for Buxton Resources Limited as an individual entity. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Buxton Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 30 September 2015. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial statements of Buxton Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-forsale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

(b) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the full Board of Directors.

(c) Revenue recognition

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets.

(d) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associated operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(e) Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term.

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases (note 20). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(f) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(h) Investments and other financial assets

Classification

The Company classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

(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. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Company were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

Financial assets - reclassification

The Company may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the Company may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Company has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.

Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities.

Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.

Details on how the fair value of financial investments is determined are disclosed in note 2.

Impairment

The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Company's financial assets carried at amortised cost, 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. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(i) Plant and equipment

All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the reducing balance method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term. The rates vary between 20% and 50% per annum.

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

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(f)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement profit or loss and other of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Company policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

(j) Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs, excluding the costs of acquiring tenements, are expensed as incurred. Acquisition costs will be assessed on a case by case basis and, if appropriate, they will be capitalised. These acquisition costs are carried forward only if the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and either:

  • They are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or;
  • The activities in the area of interest at the reporting date have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest, are continuing.

Accumulated acquisition costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full to the statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

The carrying values of acquisition costs are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

(k) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms.

(l) 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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

(m) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(o) New accounting standards and interpretations

The Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current year.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current year that are relevant to the Company include:

  • AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
  • AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
  • Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies
  • AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards

The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2015 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company. The Company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduces new rules for hedge accounting. In December 2014, the AASB made further changes to the classification and measurement rules and also introduced a new impairment model. These latest amendments now complete the new financial instruments standard.

AASB 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Based on the transitional provisions in the completed IFRS 9, early adoption in phases was only permitted for annual reporting periods beginning before 1 February 2015. After that date, the new rules must be adopted in their entirety.

The standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial instruments.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer – so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards.

The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will recognise transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (eg 1 July 2017), i.e. without restating the comparative period. They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that are not completed as of the date of initial application.

AASB 15 is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2017. Management is currently assessing the impact of the new rules. At this stage, the Company is not able to estimate the impact of the new rules on the Company's financial statements. The Company will make more detailed assessments of the impact over the next twelve months.

(p) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements 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.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.

Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be involved in this process. The Chief Executive Officer, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

As all operations are currently within Australia the Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

(ii) Price risk

Given the current level of operations the Company is not exposed to price risk.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Company policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The entire balance of cash and cash equivalents for the Company \$1,283,756 (2014: \$3,707,577) is subject to interest rate risk. The proportional mix of floating interest rates and fixed rates to a maximum of six months fluctuate during the year depending on current working capital requirements. The weighted average interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Company was 1.99% (2014: 42%).

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2015, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Company would have been \$14,547 lower/higher (2014: \$23,302 -/+ 100 basis points) as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

(b) Credit risk

The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

As the Company does not presently have any debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Company. 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. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Company's current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The financial liabilities of the Company are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.

(d) 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.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current bid price.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

AASB 8: Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Company that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.

The Company's operating segments have been determined with reference to the monthly management accounts used by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the Company's operations and allocation of working capital.

Due to the size and nature of the Company, the Board as a whole has been determined as the chief operating decision maker.

The Company operates in one business segment and one geographical segment, namely mineral exploration industry in Australia only. AASB 8: Operating Segments states that similar operating segments can be aggregated to form one reportable segment. Also, based on the quantitative thresholds included in AASB 8, there is only one reportable segment, namely mineral exploration industry. However, none of the other operating segments currently meet any of the prescribed quantitative thresholds, and as such do not have to be reported separately. The Company has therefore decided to aggregate all their segments into one reportable operating segment.

The revenues and results of this segment are those of the Company as a whole and are set out in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The segment assets and liabilities of this segment are those of the Company and are set out in the statement of financial position.

Segment performance is evaluated based on the operating profit and loss and cash flows and is measured in accordance with the Company's accounting policies.
