Review of Operations
Carnavale is an Australian based mineral exploration company which currently owns the Lake Roe Project, comprising two exploration licenses (E28/2303 and E28/2304) located 120km ENE of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
Lake Roe Project, WA, Australia – Au (Carnavale 100%)
During the period, Carnavale’s exploration activities focused primarily on its maiden RC (Reverse Circulation) programme at the Lake Roe Project. The two tenements cover a sequence of deformed Archean greenstone belt within the Southern Laverton Tectonic Zone (SLTZ) and are considered prospective for gold mineralisation.
The Southern Laverton Tectonic Zone is host to a number of large gold deposits with the Lake Roe Project area centred between Carosue Dam (3.5Moz), located approximately 40km to the north, and Karonie (0.9Moz), approximately 50km to the south. These deposits are associated with the major Keith-Kilkenny and Claypan Shears, which represent two major tectonic shear zones that converge near the Lake Roe region.
During the period, the Company drilled 12 holes for a total advance of 1,360m. The programme targeted the northwest southeast trending Stag Shear Zone where previous vertical RAB and aircore drilling located on 200m spaced drill traverses intersected a series of anomalous zones over a total strike length of over 600m (Figure 1). Limited historic follow-up RC and diamond drilling comprised of 2 RC and 2 diamond holes. (refer ASX announcement dated 13 December 2016).
An additional zone of anomalous supergene gold, termed the Triumph Trend (Figure 1), was also defined to the east of the Stag Shear Zone closer to the granite intrusion to the east. This anomalous zone is parallel to the Stag Shear, also trending southeast northwest, with no previous follow-up drilling undertaken along this target.
Results of the RC drilling showed the area is blanketed by 30-40m of barren and unconsolidated transported sediments and lateritic gravels followed by deep saprolite clays to approximately 70-80m depth and then partially weathered and fresh basement rocks. This deeply weathered nature and thick transported barren overburden compounds the difficulties in exploring and targeting the mineralised structures.

Figure 1: Location Plan - STAG and TRIUMPH Targets showing drill hole locations
Carnavale is currently assessing various geophysical techniques that may aid targeting of the structures prior to committing to further drilling.
Red Hills Project, Nevada, USA – Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn
The Red Hills Project comprised mineral claims covering an area of approximately 13.4km2, located in eastern Nevada, USA. The project area was considered prospective for large multi-million ounce scale “Carlin style” gold and silver deposits and also structurally controlled polymetallic (gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc) deposits.
During the period, the Company, having completed a review of the project potential for defining a gold resource, elected to withdraw from the Joint Venture.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the half- year ended 31 December 2016
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
These interim consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
This condensed half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Group as in the full financial report.
It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2016 and any public announcements made by Carnavale Resources Limited and its subsidiaries during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
Basis of preparation
The interim report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
For the purpose of preparing the interim report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.
Significant accounting judgements and key estimates
The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this interim report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2016 except for the following:
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
The company has capitalised $215,096 of exploration and evaluation expenditure as at 31 December 2016 in relation to its exploration projects. The Directors have reviewed the appropriateness of continued capitalisation and the existence of any indicators of impairment and concluded that no further impairment is necessary.
Accounting policies and methods of computation
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Standards and Interpretations applicable to 31 December 2016
In the half-year ended 31 December 2016, the Directors have reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the Company and effective for the half-year reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2016.
As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on the Company and therefore no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.
Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted applicable to 31 December 2016
The Directors have also reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on issue not yet adopted that are relevant to the Company and effective for the half-year reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.
As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no material impact of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted on the Company and therefore no material change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

The recoupment of costs carried forward in relation to areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phases are dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective areas.
During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Directors considered the carrying value of all carried forward exploration and evaluation and decided that it was appropriate for a write down of exploration expenditure of $2,150,253, attributable to the Little Butte Project and the Red Hills project to be charged to the statement of comprehensive income due to the withdrawal from the Little Butte Option Agreement during the year and the withdrawal from the Red Hills Joint Venture in the September 2016 quarter.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Carnavale Resources Limited
Report on the Condensed Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Carnavale Resources Limited (“the company”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration, for the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the company, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Carnavale Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
