Chairman's review
On behalf of your Directors I am pleased to present the 2003 Annual Report of Glengarry Resources Limited.
Glengarry and its controlled entities incurred a net loss for the year ended 30 June 2003 of \$1,410,929 after writing off exploration expenditure of \$999,097.
Glengarry retains a 7.5% free carried interest in the highly prospective Larranganni gold project in the Tanami -Granites area of Western Australia which is under active joint venture to Barrick Gold of Australia Limited (Barrick). The exploration activities of Glengarry's highly prospective Oueensland gold/base metals projects including Cannington, Diamantina and Greenvale have been significantly advanced during the year. It is encouraging for junior explorers operating in the Cannington region that BHP Billiton Limited has announced it will spend about \$130 million over the next two years expanding and modernising its Cannington silver-lead mine in north-west Oueensland. Encouraging results from exploration and drilling have given the exploration team the confidence to propose follow-up programs at Cannington and Diamantina. Glengarry has regained the Charters Towers project where a new prospect area, Southern Cross, has been defined with encouraging drill results. Acquisition of the Yolande River project in Tasmania will present the company with exploration opportunities in the near future. The "Review of operations and activities" sets out in detail Glengarry's project portfolio.
Glengarry will continue an aggressive approach to exploration for the remainder of the 2003 field subject to ongoing results and funding.
Since 30 June 2003 the company has placed 16,000,000 ordinary shares at 3.2 cents per share and raised \$512,000. These funds will be applied directly to exploration to fund drilling programs at the Cannington, Diamantina and Charters Towers projects. I appreciate the support given by shareholders to the placement.
I am pleased to report the appointment of Mr David Richards as Managing Director of the company. Mr Richards was previously employed by the company as Exploration Manager.
I sincerely thank my fellow directors and the company's employees for their commitment and continued support.
I look forward to the attendance of shareholders at the annual general meeting.

Allan T Harris Chairman 2 September 2003
Exploration summary and highlights
Over the last year Glengarry continued to aggressively explore its portfolio of gold and base metal projects in Queensland and Western Australia. Importantly, the company advanced the exploration status of several projects with the identification of priority drill targets that will be tested during the coming year. In addition, numerous acquisition opportunities were assessed for their potential to add value to the company.
Highlights for the year include:
- Granting of the 900 km2 Mirrica Bore tenement within the Diamantina Project. Subsequent geochemical $\bullet$ sampling delineated several significant gold anomalies warranting infill sampling and drilling.
- Identification of the Dolly Pot Prospect located 8 km southwest of the world class Cannington silver-lead-zinc mine. The prospect, which has not been previously drill tested, is obscured by shallow transported cover and is defined by a discrete magnetic high surrounded by a 1 km diameter demagnetised alteration halo.
- Delineation of several gold and base metal stream sediment anomalies within the Greenvale Project following $\bullet$ a review of previous exploration data. Most of these anomalies have not been previously investigated and some coincide with magnetic/structural targets delineated by recently acquired aeromagnetic data. Additionally, Glengarry acquired the nearby 20,000 oz Steam Engine gold resource.
- Intersection of a zone of high-grade gold mineralisation (up to 23.4 g/t Au) at the 2 km long Southern Cross group of workings within the Charters Towers Project. This mineralisation is open along strike and down dip and is similar to the main Charters Towers field where $6 - 7$ million ounces of gold were produced from quartz veins averaging $\geq 1$ oz per tonne.
- An ongoing aggressive drilling program by Barrick Gold of Australia Limited (Barrick) on the Larrannganni $\bullet$ Joint Venture in the Tanami Desert of WA. Glengarry has exposure to this high profile gold province through its 7.5% free carried interest in Larranganni, its shareholding in Tanami Gold NL and a joint venture with Barrick on its 100% owned Tanami Downs tenement. Recently, the company reached agreement in principle with another major international gold miner to farm out the Inningarra Project located 35 km southwest of Callie.
- Acquisition of the Yolande River Project in Western Tasmania located immediately west of the giant Mt ٠ Lyell copper-gold deposit and south along strike of the high grade Henty gold deposit. The tenement is effectively unexplored and has potential to host both styles of mineralisation.
- Agreement in principle reached to sell the Coolgardie Project for a cash consideration to an organization $\bullet$ active in the region.
Glengarry's Australian exploration tenement portfolio comprises projects with potential to host world class gold and base metal deposits. These properties occur in well endowed areas where bedrock is obscured by cover material and where there has been little or no previous exploration. Whilst the acquisition of greenfields properties has not been fashionable over recent years due to the downturn in exploration activity, Glengarry believes the foresight shown in assembling such exploration assets will be rewarded by discovery and growth in the near future. The success of this strategy is indicated by Glengarry securing 100% ownership of considerable areas located close to five world class deposits, i.e. Cannington, Charters Towers, Callie, Kidston and Mt Lyell.
The company intends to maintain an aggressive exploration program on its key projects in the coming twelve months and will place a strong emphasis on drilling. Where deemed appropriate, Glengarry will joint venture part of its portfolio to spread the risk and to maximise in-ground expenditure.
Review of operations and activities
GOLD - BASE METAL PROJECTS
DIAMANTINA (Glengarry 100%)
The Diamantina Project is located 350 km south of Mt Isa in western Oueensland – during the year a technical review resulted in the total tenement area being reduced from over $30,000 \text{ km}^2$ to approximately 12,000 km2.
The Diamantina tenements are located within and marginal to the south western part of the Proterozoic Mt Isa geological province which hosts several world class ore deposits including Mt Isa, Century, Cannington and Ernest Henry. Very little mineral exploration has been conducted previously in the Diamantina region due to the perception of deep cover over the prospective Proterozoic lithologies; however, research and reconnaissance by Glengarry have confirmed that large tracts of ground are underlain by shallow basement including areas of outcrop. The lack of previous exploration over part of a geological province known to be well endowed with gold and base metals means that the Diamantina project has excellent potential to host world class ore deposits.
The priority mineralization styles being explored for are iron oxide copper/gold deposits (e.g. Osborne, Tennant Creek, Ernest Henry) and structurally controlled, orogenic Proterozoic gold deposits (e.g. Tanami). Wide spaced air core drilling (for Broken Hill style mineralisation) by BHP in 1995 intersected mid Proterozoic lithologies beneath shallow transported cover in the Mirrica Bore area. BHP did not assay for gold; however, drill chips collected by Glengarry around the collars recorded up to 208 ppb gold. This work confirmed that gold occurs in an area not previously explored for gold and that prospective rock types of the correct age are present where surface sampling and/or shallow drilling can be effective.
EPM 13746 (Mirrica Bore) was granted in March 2003. This tenement covers approximately 900 km2 and is largely unaffected by Native Title allowing a wide spaced, systematic surface geochemical sampling program to be completed. Assay values are strongly suppressed by extensive, transported cover; however, several significant gold and/or base metal anomalies (i.e. $> 10$ times background) have been delineated. The geochemical data have been reviewed and anomalies ranked according to selected criteria; i.e., coincidence of gold and base metal anomalism, anomalism in more than one media (e.g. lag and soil), structural/geological complexity and magnetic setting. Several anomalies have been selected for follow up sampling which will be completed in August 2003.
The highest ranked target is the Commodore prospect located in the eastern part of the tenement. Anomalous gold (up to 11 ppb) and base metals have been recorded over 1.5 km strike coincident with a discrete, linear magnetic low interpreted to represent alteration along a splay structure off the Toomba Fault. The drilling by BHP intersected altered granodiorite beneath 40 m of cover close to the anomalous soils. The majority of the magnetic low has yet to be sampled and further work is planned to better define the anomalous geochemistry.
CANNINGTON (Glengarry 100%)
This Project is 300 km south east of Mt Isa in northwest Queensland and located within 4 km of the 60 million tonne Cannington silver-lead-zinc mine. Cannington is owned and operated by BHP Billiton Limited and is the world's largest silver mine with output comprising 7% of total production. Glengarry's tenements cover 850 $km^2$ and lie along the covered strike extension of the south east trending Cannington corridor - a structural/stratigraphic package hosting the Cannington deposit and hence prospective for similar ore bodies. Exploration potential is also good for iron oxide copper/gold deposits similar to Placer Dome's Osborne mine which occurs immediately west of Glengarry's project.
The Cannington deposit is coincident with a discrete magnetic and gravity high and Glengarry has acquired good quality geophysical data to assist with drill target definition. Limited drilling into the M8 and G6 anomalies in late 2002 intersected alteration similar to that observed at Cannington. Unfortunately, target depths could not be reached due to problems with the drill rig and the magnetic sources remain unexplained. Further drilling is planned to test the anomalies.
Review of operations and activities (continued)
Elsewhere within the project area, research has identified the highly prospective Dolly Pot prospect located approximately 8 km southwest of Cannington. The anomaly is adjacent to a major NNW trending structure similar to Cannington and is defined by a discrete magnetic high surrounded by a circular, demagnetised halo 1 km in diameter interpreted to represent alteration. There has been no modern gold or base metal exploration over Dolly Pot: however, previous uranium exploration indicates that cover is only $20$ m deep.
The Cannington Project is partially affected by Native Title, including the Dolly Pot area; however, agreement has been reached with the claimants and the remainder of the Project should be accessible sometime in the third quarter of 2003. Field work over the Dolly Pot area will commence as soon as the legal documentation is completed.
GREENVALE - BIG MAG (Glengarry 100%)
This area is located 200 km northwest of Townsville in north Queensland. Glengarry holds a contiguous land package of over 2,000 km2 immediately east of the 3.5 M oz Kidston gold deposit mined by Placer Dome and south along strike of the Balcooma base metal deposits being developed by Kagara Zinc Limited. There is good potential for the discovery of both styles of mineralisation on Glengarry's tenure which cover a regional WNW trending mineralising corridor that includes Kidston.
The main focus for exploration activity has been in the Big Mag - Tag area, where numerous anomalous base metal and minor gold drill intersections have been returned from relatively shallow drilling in areas where basement is obscured by surficial cover. Intersections including 15m @ 0.5% Zn (Tag West), 20m @ 0.25% Cu (Tag), 60m @ 0.37% Cu (Bottletree) and 15 m $\hat{\omega}$ 0.65 g/t Au (Tag Gold) combined with stringer sulphide mineralization, associated alteration and exhalite horizons indicate a large volcanogenic massive sulphide system similar to Balcooma may occur in the area. The extensive cover and complex magnetic data mean that drill target definition is problematic and an EM geophysical survey is required to delineate massive sulphide horizons.
Regional compilation of open file geochemical data has been carried out and integrated with available aeromagnetic data for the remainder of the Project area. A number of target areas were defined including several with a similar setting to Kidston. Most of these targets occur in areas of shallow cover and are amenable to modern geochemical sampling techniques. The underlying tenements have only just been granted or are yet to be granted and follow up work will commence once access is available. There are expected to be no major delays associated with Native Title claims
One area identified from the regional compilation is the Tea Tree prospect which is located on granted tenure. Field work indicated widespread alteration and quartz veining in creeks over 8 km2 including an area of gossanous, sub cropping quartz veins measuring 800 m by 200 m. Rock chip assays recorded up to 21.4 $g/t$ gold and 9.8 $g/t$ silver and follow up soil sampling and geological mapping is required.
Glengarry also acquired the Steam Engine MDL 107 for no cost apart from tenement transfer fees. The MDL covers 80 ha and is located $5 - 10$ km north of the Big Mag - Tag area. Previous exploration by Plutonic Operations Limited delineated a resource of 250,000 tonnes @ 2.5 g/t Au (~20,000 oz) that could provide supplemental feed to a future mining operation. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, Glengarry submitted an EPM application over ground surrounding the Steam Engine MDL and the tenement is now contiguous with the rest of the Greenvale Project. The ground was relinguished by MIM following the Xstrata takeover.
GOLD PROJECTS
CHARTERS TOWERS (Glengarry 100%)
This project, located near the historic mining town of Charters Towers in north Queensland, was the subject of a two year option agreement with Charters Towers Gold Mines Ltd (CTM) that expired on 26 April 2003. Under the terms of the agreement CTM had the right to purchase the project for \$500,000 after spending \$150,000 and drilling at least 2000 metres in the 12 month period prior to the above expiry date. Despite encouraging results, which are outlined below, CTM did not exercise the option and the project was returned to Glengarry. CTM spent approximately \$480,000 over the 2 year period which included 3137 m RC drilling.
Review of operations and activities (continued)
During the current year, RC drilling comprising 18 holes for 2111 m was carried out at the Southern Cross and Great Britain prospects.
At Southern Cross, several fences of RC holes were drilled into an east – west trending, 2 km long line of historic workings hosted by a narrow quartz vein in granite similar to the Charters Towers style of mineralization. Several high grade intersections were reported, i.e.
CT668 1 m @ 5.3 g/t Au from 46 m
CT672 1 m $\omega$ 23.4 g/t Au from 86 m
CT673 1 m @ 13.1 g/t Au from 137 m
The intersections in CT672 and CT673 occur on the western most traverse and the mineralization is open along strike and down dip. Further work is required to determine the structural controls on high grade mineralization; however, recently acquired aeromagnetic data indicates that the host structure continues to the west for several kilometres beneath shallow alluvial cover. At Charters Towers, $6 - 7$ million ounces of gold was produced from similar, narrow high grade quartz veins and the above results are highly encouraging.
At Great Britain, drilling targeted high grade plunge extensions of the previously delineated 120,000 oz gold resource. Encouraging intersections were reported from one hole, i.e;
CT678 2 m [email protected]$ g/t Au from 196 m
Given the refractory nature of the Great Britain ore, no immediate follow up is planned; however, options will continue to be assessed for mining and treating the deposit.
A detailed technical review was also completed following return of the project to Glengarry. Numerous geochemical anomalies have been defined by previous exploration and field reconnaissance is required to assess their exploration potential.
TANAMI - GRANITES REGION
Larranganni (Glengarry 7.5%)
Glengarry retains a 7.5% free carried interest in the Larranganni Joint Venture which is located in the Western Australian part of the Tanami desert. The joint venture is between Barrick Gold of Australia Limited (Barrick) and Tanami Gold NL (Tanami) with Barrick the manager and operator. During the year, Barrick acquired 51% equity after spending more than \$4,000,000 on the project and a total of \$6,000,000 on the 3 joint ventures they have with Tanami in the region.
During 2002, regional drilling by Barrick on the 50 km long northwest oriented Bramall Trend delineated a number of bedrock gold anomalies under shallow cover. Follow-up, infill drilling comprising 459 aircore holes for 43,543 m predominantly on 100 by 250 m spaced traverses was carried out in 2003. Numerous anomalous gold and arsenic values were recorded; however, no ore grade intersections have been reported. Barrick continue to explore the project aggressively and have planned further exploration including extensive drilling and geochemistry in the second half of 2003 with proposed expenditure totalling approximately \$1,000,000.
Mt Junction - Tanami Downs Joint Ventures (Barrick earning 70%)
Glengarry entered into a joint venture in 2002 with Barrick whereby Barrick must spend \$350,000 and \$1 million respectively to earn 70% equity in Mt Junction and Tanami Downs Projects.
Mt Junction is located north of the Larranganni project and lies at the northern end of a postulated gold mineralised structural corridor extending northwards from Coyote, 50 km to the south, through the Kookaburra - Sandpiper deposits. Previous exploration delineated a number of unexplained BCL stream sediment anomalies which were confirmed by follow up work by Barrick. Unfortunately, the best values occur within an Aboriginal Heritage Exclusion Zone and Barrick do not consider the anomaly significant enough to warrant follow up exploration. Subsequent to the end of the year, Barrick notified Glengarry of their intention to withdraw from the joint venture.
Review of operations and activities (continued)
Tanami Downs is in the Northern Territory approximately 25 km west of the +5 million ounce Callie gold deposit owned by Newmont Tanami Ltd. The Callie deposit occurs within deformed sediments of the Lower Proterozoic Dead Bullock formation and these prospective host rocks are interpreted to occur beneath younger cover within the Tanami Downs EL. Research indicates no previous exploration drilling within the EL and negotiations are ongoing with representatives of the local indigenous land owners to access the property.
Inningarra (Glengarry 100%)
The Inningarra EL application is in the Northern Territory approximately 35 km southwest of the Callie Deposit near the southern margin of the prospective Tanami-Granites geological complex. Previous exploration has been hampered by transported cover; however, agreement in principle has been reached with a major international gold miner to farm in to the property. Legal documentation is currently being drafted.
YOLANDE RIVER (Glengarry 100%)
The Yolande River project, which was acquired by Glengarry in 2003, comprises a single $64 \text{ km}^2$ exploration licence located in western Tasmania immediately west of the historic mining town of Oueenstown. Several world class gold and base metal mines including Mt Lyell, Roseberry and Hellyer have been discovered in western Tasmania hosted by the Cambrian-aged Mt Read Volcanics. Smaller but still significant deposits such as Henty and Oue River have also been discovered.
The geology of the Yolande River EL is very similar to the stratigraphic and structural setting of the Mt Lyell and Henty deposits. The tenement covers the intersection of the NNE trending South Henty Fault and the east-west trending Firewood Siding Fault. Recent government mapping and aeromagnetics have identified a 6 km long contact zone which is identical to the stratigraphic horizon that hosts the high grade. Placer Dome operated, Henty gold mine $(\sim 1 \text{ M oz})$ located about 17 km to the north adjacent to the South Henty Fault. The Mt Lyell deposit is coincident with the eastern extension of the Firewood Siding Fault and occurs immediately below the contact position.
The contact zone occurs in the western part of the tenement and research indicates that there has been no modern gold exploration over the prospective stratigraphy; however, four strong "gold in stream" anomalies have been defined immediately to the east within Glengarry's tenement. One of these anomalies is coincident with a group of historic workings known as Diamond Hill. Rock chip sampling has recorded up to 18 $\varrho$ /t gold from a 200 m long quartz vein which has not yet been drill tested. Reconnaissance field work is planned for late 2003.
COOLGARDIE (Glengarry 100%)
The Coolgardie project comprises a contiguous group of mining leases that cover 10 square kilometres near the historic mining town of Coolgardie in Western Australia.
An independent consultant's review completed late last year identified several targets warranting drill testing. These included potential high grade shoots within the Gunga West resource, possible extensions to other historic workings and several soil and magnetic anomalies. Two combined RAB/RC drilling programs were completed with potential ore grade intercepts recorded from several prospects – the best intersections for each prospect are listed below.
| Gunga West | 03GRC04 | $107 - 110$ m | $3 \text{ m} (a) 7.6 \text{ g/t}$ Au |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silverstar North | 02GRAB12 | $36 - 39$ m (EOH) | 3 m (a) 11.5 g/t Au |
| Gunga South | 02GRAB124 | $4 - 8$ m | $4 \text{ m}$ (a) 1.2 g/t Au |
| Jackpot West | 02GRAB60 | $1 - 6m$ | 5 m $\omega$ 2.0 g/t Au |
| Hinge Zone | 03GRAB05 | $16 - 24$ m | $8 \text{ m}$ (a) 0.6 g/t Au |
Despite the encouragement provided by the drilling results, a comprehensive review of the project indicated that the property was unlikely to host an ore body large enough to warrant development and mining by Glengarry. Consequently, the project was offered for sale to companies actively exploring and/or mining in the region. Several
Review of operations and activities (continued)
offers were received and agreement in principle was reached with one party to purchase the project outright for a cash payment. Due diligence and legal documentation are in progress.
LAKE SUTTOR (Glengarry 100%)
A review of Lake Suttor downgraded the exploration potential of the property and the tenement has been relinquished. The adiacent Avon Downs EPM application has been retained as it located adiacent to the high grade. Twin Hills epithermal gold deposit. A follow up exploration program will be planned once the tenement is granted.
PLATINUM - PALLADIUM PROJECTS
WESTWOOD (Glengarry 100%)
Westwood is located 20 km to the west of the historic Mt Morgan mine, the largest open cut gold - copper mine in Queensland (50 million tonnes $\omega$ ) 5g/t Au and 1% Cu).
Copper, platinum - palladium and gold mineralisation is hosted by the Bucknalla Complex, a lavered, gabbroic intrusion. Previous exploration by Glengarry included the acquisition of high resolution aeromagnetic and airborne electromagnetic (EM) data to define the extent of the layered intrusive complex in outcrop and under surficial cover as well as delineate buried conductors, possibly related to sulphide mineralisation. This data was integrated with extensive geological and geochemical information as well as limited drilling by previous explorers.
Drilling in 2002 targeted geochemical anomalies and returned encouraging intercepts up to 10m $\omega$ 0.42% Cu, 0.32g/t Pd and 0.16g/t Au and 6m @ 0.32% Cu and 0.13g/t Au. Individual 1m samples returned up to 1.7 g/t of combined Pd, Pt and Au. These results were interpreted to be hosted by mineralised haloes adjacent to higher grade massive sulphide bodies that appeared to be defined by the airborne EM data but not drill tested.
An RC program was carried out in early 2003 testing 5 of the higher priority EM targets, most of which had coincident soil anomalism. Unfortunately, significant sulphide mineralisation (i.e. stock work pyrite-pyrrhotitechalcopyrite veins) was intersected in only two of the targets and no ore grade copper. PGE or gold assays were recorded
Numerous coincident geochemical/EM targets have not yet been drilled, however, to reduce risk, Glengarry is seeking a joint venture partner to fund further exploration.

The Corporate Governance Council has made recommendations in relation to directors' remuneration disclosures, including disclosures about the expected outcomes of remuneration structures and the basis for the exercise of the directors' discretion in relation to the payment of bonuses.

Corporate governance statement
Glengarry Resources Limited (the company) and the board are committed to achieving and demonstrating high standards of corporate governance. A review of the company's corporate governance framework was carried out in light of the best practice recommendations released by the Australian Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Council in March 2003. The company's current framework is not completely consistent with the recommendations. The company and its controlled entities together are referred to as the Group in this statement. This statement includes a reference to non-compliance with the recommendations.
The relationship between the board and senior management is important to the Group's long term success. Day to day management of the Group's affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are delegated by the board to the Managing Director or his equivalent and senior executives. These delegations are reviewed on an annual basis.
The directors are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the company in both the short and the longer term and seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of the Group as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the Group is properly managed.
A description of the company's main corporate governance practices is set out below. All these practices, unless otherwise stated, were in place for the entire year.
The board of directors
The board operates in accordance with the following broad principles:
Board composition
- the board is to be comprised of both executive and non-executive directors with a majority of non-executive directors. $\ddot{\phantom{0}}$ Non-executive directors bring a fresh perspective to the board's consideration of strategic, risk and performance matters and are best placed to exercise independent judgement and review and constructively challenge the performance of management.
- the Chairman is elected by the full board and is required to meet regularly with the Managing Director or his equivalent.
- the company is to maintain a mix of directors on the board from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience.
- the board is required to undertake an annual board performance review and consider the appropriate mix of skills required by the board to maximise its effectiveness and its contribution to the Group.
- each director must hold a minimum of 10,000 shares in the company.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the board include:
- contributing to the development of and approving the corporate strategy. $\bullet$
- reviewing and approving business plans, the annual budget and financial plans including available resources and major capital expenditure initiatives.
- overseeing and monitoring:
- organisational performance and the achievement of the Group's strategic goals and objectives. $\overline{a}$
- compliance with the company's code of conduct. $\overline{a}$
- progress of major capital expenditures and other significant corporate projects including any acquisitions or divestments.
- monitoring financial performance including approval of the annual and half-year financial reports and liaison with the company's auditors.
- appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the Managing Director or his equivalent. $\bullet$
- ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the members of the senior $\bullet$ management team and the Company Secretary.
- ensuring there are effective management processes in place and approving major corporate initiatives. $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$
- enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organisation.
- ensuring the significant risks facing the Group, including those associated with its legal compliance obligations have been identified and appropriate and adequate control, monitoring, accountability and reporting mechanisms are in place.
- reporting to shareholders.
Corporate governance statement (continued)
Board members
Details of the members of the board, their experience, qualifications, term of office and independent status are set out in the directors' report under the heading "Information on directors". There are two non-executive directors, and two executive directors at the date of signing the directors' report.
The directors in office were considered and nominated by the board acting in its capacity as the nomination committee based on the skills and experience they could bring to board deliberations on current and emerging issues.
In addition the board seeks to ensure that:
- at any point in time, its membership represents an appropriate balance between directors with experience and knowledge of the Group and directors with an external or fresh perspective.
- the size of the board is conducive to effective discussion and efficient decision making.
Directors' independence
The board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors' independence. These state that to be deemed independent, a director must be a non-executive and:
- not a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the company.
- within the last three years not employed in an executive capacity by the company or controlled entity, or been a director $\bullet$ after ceasing to hold any such employment.
- within the last three years not a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company or a $\bullet$ controlled entity, or an employee materially associated with the service provided.
- not a material supplier or customer of the company or a controlled entity, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or $\bullet$ indirectly with a material supplier or customer.
- must have no material contractual relationship with the company or a controlled entity other than as a director of the Group. $\bullet$
- not been on the board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the company.
Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of over 5% of annual turnover of the company or Group or 5% of the individual directors' net worth is considered material for these purposes. In addition, a transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it impacts the shareholders' understanding of the director's performance.
Recent thinking on corporate governance has introduced the view that a director's independence may be perceived to be impacted by lengthy service on the board. To avoid any potential concerns, the board has determined that a director will not be deemed independent if he or she has served on the board of the company for more than ten years. It is noted that none of the current directors qualify as "independent" according to the above criteria. The board will continue to monitor developments on this issue.
Term of office
The company's Constitution does not specify any limitation to the term of office of a director.
The company has not determined a policy on the term of office of directors.
Chairman and Managing Director
The Chairman is responsible for leading the board, ensuring that board activities are organised and efficiently conducted and for ensuring directors are properly briefed for meetings. The Managing Director or his equivalent is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. The board charter specifies that these are separate roles to be undertaken by separate people.
Commitment
The board held five board meetings and regular management meetings during the year.
Non-executive directors are expected to spend at least 40 days a year preparing for and attending board and management meetings and associated activities.
Corporate governance statement (continued)
The number of meetings of the company's board of directors held during the year ended 30 June 2003, and the number of meetings attended by each director is disclosed on page 10.
It is the company's practice to allow its executive directors to accept appointments outside the company with prior written approval of the board. No appointments of this nature were accepted during the year ended 30 June 2003.
The commitments of non-executive directors are considered by the board prior to the directors' appointment to the board of the company and are reviewed each year as part of the annual performance assessment.
Prior to appointment or being submitted for re-election each non-executive director is required to specifically acknowledge that they have and will continue to have the time available to discharge their responsibilities to the company.
Conflict of interests
Entities connected with Mr A T Harris and Mr M J Glasson had business dealings with the consolidated entity during the year, as described in note 23 to the financial statements. In accordance with board practice the directors concerned declared their interests in those dealings to the company and took no part in decisions relating to them or the preceding discussions. In addition, those directors did not receive any papers from the Group pertaining to those dealings.
Independent professional advice
Directors and board committees have the right, in connection with their duties and responsibilities, to seek independent professional advice at the company's expense. Prior written approval of the Chairman is required, but this will not be unreasonably withheld.
Performance assessment
The board undertakes an annual self assessment of its collective performance and seeks specific feedback from the senior management team on particular aspects of its performance.
The Chairman annually assesses the performance of individual directors and meets privately with each director to discuss this assessment. The Chairman's performance is reviewed by the board.
Board committees
Given the size of the current board, it has resolved to act in the capacity of the nomination, remuneration and audit committees.
Nomination committee
The main responsibilities of the board, acting in its capacity as the nomination committee, are to:
- conduct an annual review of the membership of the board having regard to present and future needs of the company and to $\bullet$ make recommendations on board composition and appointments.
- conduct an annual review of the independence of directors.
- propose candidates for board vacancies. $\bullet$
- oversee the annual performance assessment program.
- oversee board succession including the succession of the Chairman.
- assess the effectiveness of the induction process. $\blacktriangle$
When the need for a new director is identified or an existing director is required to stand for re-election, the board reviews the range of skills, experience and expertise on the board, identifies its needs and prepares a short-list of candidates with appropriate skills and experience. Where necessary, advice is sought from independent research consultants.
The board appoints the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next annual general meeting of the company. Reappointment of existing directors is not automatic and is contingent on their past performance and contribution to the company.
The board has resolved that future notices of meeting for the election of directors will fully comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council's best practice recommendations.
New directors are provided with a letter of appointment setting out their responsibilities, rights and the terms and conditions of their employment. All new directors participate in a comprehensive, formal induction program which covers financial, strategic, operations and risk management issues as well as expectations for director behaviour.
Corporate governance statement (continued)
Remuneration committee
The board, acting in its capacity as the remuneration committee, considers remuneration policies and practices generally, and makes specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive directors, other senior executives and non-executive directors.
Each member of the senior executive team signs a formal employment contract at the time of their appointment covering a range of matters, including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any entitlements on termination. The standard contract refers to a specific formal job description. This job description is reviewed by the board on an annual basis and, where necessary is revised in consultation with the relevant employee.
Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the board having regard to personal and corporate performance, contribution to long term growth, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice. As well as a base salary, remuneration packages include superannuation, retirement and termination entitlements, performancerelated bonuses and fringe benefits. Executives are also eligible to participate in the Employee Incentive Scheme. Information relating to this scheme is set out in note 22 to the financial statements.
The remuneration of non-executive directors in the form of directors fees is determined by the board subject to the total amount approved by shareholders. Non-executive directors are eligible to participate in the Employee Incentive Scheme subject to shareholder approval.
The company has not introduced a retirement scheme in respect to the retirement of its directors.
Further information on directors' and executives' remuneration is set out in the directors' report and notes 17 and 18 to the financial statements.
The board's terms of reference include responsibility for reviewing any transactions between the organisation and the directors, or any interest associated with the directors, to ensure the structure and the terms of the transaction are in compliance with the Corporations Act 2001 and are appropriately disclosed.
The board also assumes responsibility for management succession planning, including the implementation of appropriate executive development programmes and ensuring adequate arrangements are in place, so that appropriate candidates are recruited for later promotion to senior positions.
Audit committee
The board, acting in its capacity as the audit committee, has appropriate financial expertise and all members have a working knowledge of the industries in which the Group operates.
The main responsibilities of the board are to:
- review, assess and approve the annual report, the half-year financial report and all other financial information published by $\bullet$ the company or released to the market.
- review the effectiveness of the organisation's internal control environment covering: $\bullet$
- effectiveness and efficiency of operations $\overline{a}$
- reliability of financial reporting $\overline{a}$
- compliance with applicable laws and regulations
- oversee the effective operation of the risk management framework. $\bullet$
- determine the appointment, removal and remuneration of the external auditors, and review the terms of their engagement, the scope and quality of the audit and assess performance.
- consider the independence and competence of the external auditor on an ongoing basis.
- review and approve the level of non-audit services provided by the external auditors and ensure it does not adversely $\bullet$ impact on auditor independence.
- review and monitor related party transactions and assess their propriety.
Corporate governance statement (continued)
In fulfilling its responsibilities, the board:
- receives regular reports from management and the external auditors. $\bullet$
- appoints a representative to meet with the external auditors at least twice a year or more frequently if necessary.
- reviews any significant disagreements between the auditors and management, irrespective of whether they have been $\bullet$ resolved.
- provides the external auditors with a clear line of direct communication at any time to the Chairman of the board.
The board has authority, within the scope of its responsibilities, to seek any information it requires from any employee or external party.
External auditors
The company and board policy is to appoint external auditors who clearly demonstrate quality and independence. The performance of the external auditor is reviewed annually and applications for tender of external audit services are requested as deemed appropriate, taking into consideration assessment of performance, existing value and tender costs. PricewaterhouseCoopers were appointed as the external auditors in 1989 (Coopers and Lybrand). It is PricewaterhouseCoopers policy to rotate audit engagement partners on listed companies at least every seven years, and in accordance with that policy a new audit engagement partner was introduced for the year ended 30 June 2001.
An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a break-down of fees for non-audit services, is provided in note 19 to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditors to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the board.
Risk assessment and management
The board is responsible for ensuring there are adequate policies in relation to risk oversight and management, and internal control systems. In summary, the company policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified, assessed, addressed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group's business objectives.
Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation structure with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. Adherence to the code of conduct is required at all times and the board actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity.
The company risk management policy is managed by the board.
Detailed control procedures cover management accounting, financial reporting, project appraisal, environment, health and safety, IT security, compliance and other risk management issues.
The board requires that each major proposal submitted to the board for decision be accompanied by a comprehensive risk assessment and, where required, management's proposed mitigation strategies.
Environment, health and safety management system
The company recognises the importance of environmental and occupational health and safety (OH&S) issues and is committed to the highest levels of performance. Observance of these issues allows the company to:
- monitor its compliance with all relevant legislation. $\bullet$
- continually assess and improve the impact of its operations on the environment.
- encourage employees to actively participate in the management of environmental and OH&S issues, and ٠
- encourage the adoption of similar standards by the entity's principal suppliers and contractors.
Information on compliance with significant environmental regulations is set out in the directors' report.
Corporate governance statement (continued)
Code of Conduct
The company intends to develop a statement of values and a Code of Conduct (the Code) which will be fully endorsed by the board and apply to all directors and employees. The Code will be regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group's integrity.
In summary, the Code will formalise the current requirement that at all times all company personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and company policies.
The purchase and sale of company securities by directors and employees is only permitted after the expiration of 2 business days following the release to the market of the half-yearly, the annual financial results and any ASX announcements. Any transactions undertaken must be notified to the company secretary in advance.
This Code and the company's trading policy will be discussed with each new employee as part of their induction training and all employees will be asked to sign an annual declaration confirming their compliance.
The Code will require employees who are aware of unethical practices within the Group or breaches of the company's trading policy to report these using the company's whistleblower program. This can be done anonymously.
The directors are satisfied that the Group has complied with the principles of proper ethical standards, including trading in securities.
A copy of the Code and its full trading policy will be available on the company's website at www.glengarrynf.com.au.
Continuous disclosure and shareholder communication
The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX listing rules and overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.
The company has policies and procedures on information disclosure that focus on continuous disclosure of any information concerning the company and its controlled entities that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the company's securities.
All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the company's website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group's operations, the material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the company's website. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information has been inadvertently disclosed, and if so, this information is also immediately released to the market.
All shareholders receive a copy of the company's annual and half-yearly reports. In addition, the company seeks to provide opportunities for shareholders to participate through electronic means. All recent company announcements, media briefings, details of company meetings, press releases for the last three years, and financial reports for the last 2 years are available on the company's website www.glengarrynl.com.au.
The website intends to include a feedback mechanism and an option for shareholders to register their email address for direct email updates of company matters.
Corporate governance statement (continued)
Non-compliance statement
Glengarry Resources Limited has not followed all of the recommendations set out in Australian Stock Exchange Limited (ASX) Listing Rule 4.10.3.
The company has identified those recommendations that have not been followed as follows:
- The company's corporate governance framework is not completely consistent with the best practice recommendations $\bullet$ released by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.
- The company appointed a Managing Director on 1 September 2003. The previous Managing Director resigned on 9 March $\bullet$ 2000. The duties of the Managing Director during the interim period were delegated to the directors.
- None of the directors meet the definition of "independent director". ٠
- The board acts in the capacity of the nomination, remuneration and audit committees. ٠
- The company intends to include the various corporate governance matters on its website, however, has not done so at the $\bullet$ date of this report.
- The company has not complied with the "performance assessment" requirements. $\bullet$
- The company is vet to formalise a statement of values and a Code of Conduct. In practice the company has adopted the $\blacksquare$ principles of a Code of Conduct.
- The equivalent of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have not stated in writing to the board that the company's financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the company's financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards or that the company's risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects. The full board has reached its own satisfaction on all of these issues.
- The company is yet to prepare written policies regarding compliance with the ASX Listing Rule on disclosure requirements.
The reasons the company has not followed the recommendations are as follows:
- The company is a junior exploration company with limited financial and human resources. $\bullet$
- The company has confined its management structures to maximise its exploration activities.
- The board of directors comprises three directors, all of whom are active in the management of the company thereby $\bullet$ effecting substantial savings in the costs of administration of the company. Given the onerous responsibilities of public company directors the company has found it extremely difficult to recruit or attract suitably qualified new board members.
- The minimisation of organisational structures allows the company to respond quickly to opportunities and expedite the $\bullet$ outcome of complex managerial issues.
- Given the company is totally reliant on the continuing support of its shareholders and the stock market to fund its $\bullet$ exploration activities, the minimisation of administration expenditure is critically important.
- The company recognises the importance of proper corporate governance and will endeavour to meet the principles of good corporate governance and best practice recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council.
- Given the onerous responsibilities attaching to public company directorships and the limited resources of junior exploration $\bullet$ companies, it is difficult to fulfil all of the recommendations on good corporate governance despite the best intention of the directors.

Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2003
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the Corporations Act 2001.
It is prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at valuation. Unless otherwise stated, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year.
As a result of applying the new accounting standard AASB1044 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets for the first time, certain liabilities have been reclassified as described in note 1(s).
(a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Glengarry Resources Limited ("company" or "parent entity") as at 30 June 2003 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Glengarry Resources Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the consolidated entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.
Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statement of financial performance from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial vear its results are included for that part of the vear during which control existed.
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for as set out in note 1(1).
(b) Income tax
Tax effect accounting procedures are followed whereby the income tax expense in the statement of financial performance is matched with the accounting profit after allowing for permanent differences. The future tax benefit relating to tax losses is not carried forward as an asset unless the benefit is virtually certain of realisation. Income tax on cumulative timing differences is set aside to the deferred income tax or the future income tax benefit accounts at the rates which are expected to apply when those timing differences reverse.
(c) Acquisitions of assets
The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their market price at the acquisition date. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of the acquisition. The discount rate used is the incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
Provisions for restructuring costs and related employee termination benefits are recognised as at the date of acquisition of an entity or part thereof on the basis described in the accounting policy notes for restructuring costs finote 1(p)] and employee benefits [note 1(n)].
Where an entity or operation is acquired and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, including any liability for restructuring costs, exceeds the cost of acquisition, the difference, representing a discount on acquisition, is accounted for by reducing proportionately the fair values of the non-monetary assets acquired until the discount is eliminated. Where, after reducing to zero the recorded amounts of the non-monetary assets acquired, a discount balance remains it is recognised as a revenue in the statement of financial performance.
(d) Revenue recognition
Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Revenue includes interest and dividend income on short term investments, proceeds from the disposal of non-current assets and sundry other revenue items.
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2003 (continued)
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(e) Receivables
Debtors are recognised at the amounts receivable as they are due no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.
(f) Recoverable amount of non-current assets
The recoverable amount of an asset is the net amount expected to be recovered through the cash inflows and outflows arising from its continued use and subsequent disposal.
Where the carrying amount of a non-current asset is greater than its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Where net cash inflows are derived from a group of assets working together, recoverable amount is determined on the basis of the relevant group of assets. The decrement in the carrying amount is recognised as an expense in net profit or loss in the reporting period in which the recoverable amount write-down occurs.
The expected net cash flows included in determining recoverable amounts of non-current assets are not discounted to their present values.
(g) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the consolidated entity is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure, but does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest.
Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation. (Details of the principal areas of interest held by the consolidated entity are set out on page 47).
Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest, other than that acquired from the purchase of another mining company, is carried forward as an asset provided that one of the following conditions is met:
- such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, $\bullet$ alternatively, by its sale; or
- exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
Expenditure which fails to meet at least one of the conditions outlined above is written off, furthermore, the directors regularly review the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to be recoverable.
Identifiable exploration assets acquired from another mining company are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the requirements of AASB 1015 Accounting for the Acquisition of Assets. Exploration assets acquired are reassessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one of the conditions is met.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired, is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity.
Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not expected to be recovered.
When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off.
Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest/mineral resource unless the company's rights of tenure to that area of interest are current.
(h) Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental expenditure
Restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are accrued at the time of those activities and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure.
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2003 (continued)
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(i) Investments
Interests in listed and unlisted securities, other than controlled entities in the consolidated financial statements, are brought to account at the lower of cost and net realisable value and dividend income is recognised in the statement of financial performance when receivable. Controlled entities are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as set out in note $1(a)$ .
The interest in a joint venture is accounted for as set out in note 1 (1).
(i) Depreciation of plant and equipment
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to write off the net cost or revalued amount of each item of plant and equipment (excluding land) over its expected useful life to the consolidated entity. Estimates of remaining useful lives are made on a regular basis for all assets, with annual reassessments for major items. The expected useful lives of plant and equipment is three to five years.
(k) Trade and other creditors
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(I) Joint ventures
The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of joint venture operations have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of the joint ventures are set out in note 26.
(m) Website costs
Costs in relation to websites controlled by a controlled entity are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, unless they relate to the acquisition of an asset, in which case they are capitalised and amortised over their period of expected benefit. Generally, costs in relation to feasibility studies during the planning phase of a web site and ongoing costs of maintenance during the operating phase are considered to be expenses. Costs incurred in building or enhancing a web site, to the extent that they represent probable future economic benefits controlled by the controlled entity that can be reliably measured, are capitalised as an asset and amortised over the period of the expected benefits which vary from 2 to 5 years.
(n) Employee benefits
$(i)$ Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other creditors in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and is measured in accordance with (i) above. The liability for long service leave expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
$(iii)$ Termination benefits
Liabilities for termination benefits, not in connection with the acquisition of an entity or operation, are recognised when a detailed plan for the terminations has been developed and a valid expectation has been raised in those employees affected that the terminations will be carried out. The liabilities for termination benefits are recognised in other creditors unless the amount or timing of the payments is uncertain, in which case they are recognised as provisions.
Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2003 (continued)
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(n) Employee benefits (continued)
Liabilities for termination benefits relating to an acquired entity or operation that arise as a consequence of acquisitions are recognised as at the date of acquisition if, at or before the acquisition date, the main features of the terminations were planned and a valid expectation had been raised in those employees affected that the terminations would be carried out and this is supported by a detailed plan developed within three months of the acquisition or prior to the completion of the financial report, if earlier. These liabilities are disclosed in aggregate with other restructuring costs as a consequence of the acquisition.
Liabilities for termination benefits expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled. Amounts expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are measured as the estimated cash outflows, discounted using market vields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future payments, where the effect of discounting is material.
$(iv)$ Employee benefit on-costs
Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee benefits to which they related are recognised as liabilities.
$(v)$ Equity-based compensation benefits
Equity-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Glengarry Resources Limited Employee Incentive Scheme. Information relating to this scheme is set out in note 22.
No accounting entries are made in relation to the Glengarry Resources Limited Employee Incentive Scheme until options are exercised, at which time the amounts receivable from employees are recognised in the statement of financial position as share capital. The amounts disclosed for remuneration of directors and executives in notes 17 and 18 include the assessed fair values of options at the date they were granted.
The market value of shares issued to employees for no cash consideration under the Employee Incentive Scheme is recognised as a liability and as part of employee benefit costs when the employees become entitled to the shares. When the shares are issued, their market value is recognised in the statement of financial position as share capital.
(o) Onerous contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived from a contract are less than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under that contract, and only after any impairment losses to assets dedicated to that contract have been recognised.
The provision recognised is based on the excess of the estimated cash flows to meet the unavoidable costs under the contract over the estimated cash flows to be received in relation to the contract, having regard to the risks of the activities relating to the contract. The net estimated cash flows are discounted using market yields at balance date on national government guaranteed bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the expected future payments, where the effect of discounting is material.
(p) Restructuring costs
Liabilities arising directly from undertaking a restructuring program, not in connection with the acquisition of an entity or operations, are recognised when a detailed plan of the restructuring activity has been developed and implementation of the restructuring program as planned has commenced, by either entering into contracts to undertake the restructuring activities or making a detailed announcement such that affected parties are in no doubt the restructuring program will proceed.
Liabilities for the cost of restructuring entities or operations acquired are recognised as at the date of acquisition of an entity, or part thereof, if the main features of the restructuring were planned and there was a demonstrable commitment to the restructuring at the acquisition date and this is supported by a detailed plan developed within three months of the acquisition or prior to the completion of the financial report, if earlier,
The cost of restructuring provided for, other than related employee termination benefits, is the estimated cash flows, having regard to the risks of the restructuring activities, discounted using market yields at balance date on national government guaranteed bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the expected future payments, where the effect of discounting is material.
(p) Restructuring costs (continued)
Liabilities for employee termination benefits associated with restructurings are brought to account on the basis described in the accounting policy note for employee benefits [note $1(n)(iii)$ ]. Liabilities for costs of restructurings and related employee termination benefits are disclosed in aggregate where the restructuring occurs as a consequence of an acquisition.
Reversals of part or all of a provision for restructuring relating to an acquisition because the costs are no longer expected to be incurred as planned, are adjusted against the goodwill or discount on acquisition. The adjusted carrying amounts of goodwill or non-monetary assets are amortised or depreciated from the date of the reversal.
$(a)$ Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes deposits at call which are readily convertible to cash on hand and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(r) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members 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.
(s) Reclassification of liabilities for certain employee benefits
The liabilities for wages and salaries, annual leave and accumulating sick leave and related on-costs expected to be settled within 12 months of reporting date have been reclassified from provisions to other creditors in the current year as a result of the adoption of the new accounting standard, AASB 1044 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The directors do not believe there are any significant uncertainties relating to the amount and timing of future payments included in the liabilities for these employee benefits, therefore they do not meet the definition of a provision under the new standard. Comparative amounts have also been reclassified to ensure comparability with the current reporting period.

Note 4. Income tax (continued)
The benefit for tax losses will only be obtained if:
- (i) the consolidated entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised, or
- (ii) the losses are transferred to an eligible entity in the consolidated entity, and
- (iii) the consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation, and
- (iv) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the consolidated entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
Tax consolidation legislation
Glengarry Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have decided to implement the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003. The Australian Taxation Office has not vet been notified of this decision. The entities also intend to enter into a tax sharing agreement, but details of this agreement are yet to be finalised.
As a consequence, Glengarry Resources Limited, as the head entity in the tax consolidated group, will recognise current and deferred tax amounts relating to transactions, events and balances of the wholly-owned Australian consolidated entities in this group in future financial statements as if those transactions, events and balances were its own, in addition to the current and deferred tax balances arising in relation to its own transactions, events and balances. Amounts receivable or payable under the tax sharing agreement will be recognised separately by Glengarry Resources Limited as tax-related amounts receivable or payable. The impact on the income tax expense and results of Glengarry Resources Limited is unlikely to be material because of the tax sharing agreement. This is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated assets and liabilities and results.
The financial effect of the implementation of the legislation has not been recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2003

(c) Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities
On-balance sheet
The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated entity approximates their carrying amounts except for investments which have a net fair value of \$1,033,889 (2002 \$2,415,895).
The net fair value of other monetary financial assets and financial liabilities is based upon market prices where a market exists or by discounting the expected future cash flows by the current interest rates for assets and liabilities with similar risk profiles.
Equity investments traded on organised markets have been valued at cost or by reference to market prices prevailing at balance date where those market prices are below cost. For non-traded equity investments, the net fair value is an assessment by the directors based on the underlying net assets, future maintainable earnings and any special circumstances pertaining to a particular investment.

Audit opinion
In our opinion, the financial report of Glengarry Resources Limited:
- gives a true and fair view, as required by the Corporations Act 2001 in Australia, of the financial position of Glengarry Resources Limited and the Glengarry Resources Group (defined below) as at 30 June 2003, and of their performance for the year ended on that date. and
- is presented in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
This opinion must be read in conjunction with the rest of our audit report.
Scope
The financial report and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for both Glengarry Resources Limited (the company) and the Glengarry Resources Group (the consolidated entity), for the year ended 30 June 2003. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year.
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.
Audit approach
We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.
Liability is fimited by the Accountant's Scheme under the Professional Standards Act 1994 (NSW)
PriceWATERHOUSE COPERS ®
We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and ٠ disclosures in the financial report, and
- assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the $\bullet$ reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.
When this audit report is included in an Annual Report, our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.
While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
