Page 8 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

4.1 Board of Directors

Board Role and Responsibilities

The Board has approved a formal Board Charter which details the Board’s role, composition and responsibilities. The Charter is available from the corporate governance information section of the Company’s website at www.centaurus.com.au.

The central role of the Board is to approve the strategic direction of the Company, to guide and monitor the management of the Company in achieving its strategic plans and to oversee overall good corporate governance.

The Board has delegated to the Managing Director all powers to manage the day-to-day business of the Company, subject to those powers reserved to the Board and any specific delegations of authority approved by the Board. The Managing Director is supported by the senior management team in the day-to-day management of the Company.

Board Composition, Size and Structure

The Board is responsible for determining an appropriate mix of skills, knowledge, experience, expertise and diversity on the Board. The number of directors on the board shall be determined in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the requirements of the Corporations Act. The Board shall consist of a majority of non-executive directors. Where practical, at least half of the Board shall consist of independent directors who satisfy the criteria for independence. The Board periodically reviews its composition and the duration of terms served by the directors.

Details of the members of the Board, their skills, experience, expertise, qualifications, term of office and independence status are set out in the Directors' Report under the heading "Directors and Officers" (section 2). There are three independent non-executive directors, two executive directors and one non independent non-executive director at the date of signing the Directors’ Report.

The Board considers that collectively the directors have the range of skills, knowledge and experience necessary to direct the Company.

Selection and Appointment of New Directors

When the need for a new director is identified, 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.

When considering new candidates for nomination, the Board takes into account:

the candidate’s competence and qualifications;
independence;
the range of skills, experience and expertise on the Board to identify the skills that will best increase the effectiveness of the Board;
the candidate’s ability to devote the time required by a director to effectively undertake his or her responsibilities; and
the extent to which the candidate is likely to work constructively with the existing directors and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Board.

The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Page 9 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Directors’ Independence

The Board has adopted specific principles in relation to directors’ independence and these are set out in its Charter. An independent director is a non-executive director who is not a member of management and who is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of their judgement.

The names of the directors considered to be independent are set out in the Directors’ Report.

Term of Office

The Company’s Constitution specifies that all non-executive directors must retire from office no later than the third annual general meeting following their last election. Where eligible, a director may stand for re-election.

Responsibilities of Management

The Board Charter sets out the responsibilities of management and details are available on the Company’s website.

Independent Professional Advice

The Board, Board Committees or individual directors may seek independent external professional advice as considered necessary at the Company’s expense, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman. A copy of any such advice received will be made available to all members of the Board.

Director and Executive Education

The Group has a process to educate new directors about the nature of the business, current issues, the corporate strategy and the expectations of the Group concerning performance of directors. Directors also have the opportunity to visit Group facilities and meet with management to gain a better understanding of business operations. Directors are given access to continuing education opportunities to update and enhance their skills and knowledge.

The Group also has a process to educate new senior executives upon taking such positions. The induction program includes reviewing the Group’s structure, strategy, operations, financial position and risk management policies. It also familiarises the individual with the respective rights, duties, responsibilities and roles of the individual and the Board.

Performance Assessment of the Board and Senior Management

The Board is responsible for undertaking an annual evaluation process to review its performance and that of its Committees. The evaluation process includes a self-assessment questionnaire to review performance attributes. The most recent review of the Board was conducted in September 2012. The next Board performance review will be undertaken during 2014.

The performance of senior management is assessed annually by the Managing Director. Performance is measured against established targets specific to the individual role and responsibilities of each person. Senior management performance evaluations have been conducted by the Managing Director for the financial year ended 31 December 2013.

Page 10 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Board Committees

The Board may from time to time establish and delegate any powers to a Committee of the Board in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. The Board is responsible for approving and reviewing the charter terms and membership of each Committee established by the Board.

The Board has established the following Committees:

Remuneration Committee; and
Audit & Risk Committee.

The Board has not established a Nomination Committee. The Board considers that given its size, no efficiencies or other benefits are gained by establishing a separate Nomination Committee.

All non-executive directors shall be entitled to attend meetings of Board Committees where there is no conflict of interest.

Each Committee will report to the Board on the proceedings of that Committee to the next following Board meeting.

4.2 Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee operates in accordance with its Charter which is available on the Company’s website. The role of the Committee is to review and assist the Board in developing the Company’s remuneration, recruitment, retention and termination policies. The members of the Committee are appointed by the Board.

The Committee shall consist of at least three non-executive directors, consisting of a majority of independent directors. The Chairman of the Committee should be an independent director. All persons appointed to the Committee should have sufficient professional expertise, knowledge and understanding to allow them to discharge their duties.

Remuneration consultants are required to be appointed by, and report directly to, the Committee. The Committee will ensure the remuneration consultant is sufficiently independent.

The Committee will meet as frequently as necessary, but at least once a year, in order to carry out the responsibilities of the Committee. Any Committee member may convene a meeting of the Committee.

The Committee may extend an invitation to any person to attend all or part of any meeting which it considers appropriate. The Committee may meet with external advisers, any executive or other employee, any other non-executive director, and may do so with or without the presence of management. If any such person has a material personal interest in a matter being considered that person must not be present when that matter is being considered.

All Board members wishing to attend are entitled to be present at Committee Meetings (except in circumstances where there is a conflict of interest). The Managing Director and Company Secretary will normally be invited to attend meetings.

The Chairman of the Committee will report to the Board, at the following Board meeting, on the proceedings of each meeting of the Committee, bringing forward all recommendations of the Committee which require Board endorsement or approval. A copy of Committee papers should be circulated to all Directors who are not members of the Committee.

Page 11 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The Company’s remuneration policy consists of:

a clear distinguished structure of non-executive remuneration from that of executive directors and senior management;
balancing the Company’s desire to attract and retain personnel against its interest in not paying excessive remuneration;
providing an appropriate balance between fixed and incentive pay, reflecting short and long term performance objectives appropriate to the Company’s circumstances and goals;
motivating personnel to pursue the long term growth and success of the Company; and
demonstrating a clear relationship between personnel performance and remuneration.

Further information on directors’ and executives’ remuneration is set out in the Remuneration Report. Details of the qualifications of directors of the Remuneration Committee and their attendance at Committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report.

4.3 Remuneration Report – Audited

4.3.1 Principles of Remuneration

The primary objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward and governance practices:

competitiveness and reasonableness;
acceptability to shareholders;
performance linked executive compensation;
transparency; and
capital management.

The Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complimentary to the reward strategy of the organisation to ensure:

(i) Alignment to shareholders’ interests:
focuses on the creation of shareholder value and returns; and
attracts and retains high calibre executives.
(ii) Alignment to program participants’ interests:
rewards capability and experience;
reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth;
provides a clear structure for earning rewards;
provides recognition for contribution; and
seeks to retain experienced and competent individuals in key executives roles

The remuneration framework currently consists of base pay, cash incentive bonuses and long-term incentives through participation in the Employee Share Option Plan and/ or the Performance Share Plan.

Page 12 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The overall level of executive reward takes into account the performance of the Group over a number of years, with greater emphasis given to the current and prior year. Over the past 5 years, the Group was involved in mineral exploration and pre-development activities and therefore growth in earnings is not considered relevant. Shareholder wealth is dependent upon exploration success and has fluctuated accordingly in addition to being influenced by broader market factors.

The performance of the Group in respect of the current period and the previous four financial years is set out below:

	2013 $	Dec 2012 $	June 2012 $	2011 $	2010 $

Net Loss	(32,714,987)	(9,125,800)	(20,783,843)	(12,204,218)	(5,635,542)*
Change in share price	($0.13)	($0.11)	($0.201)	$0.064	$0.08
Market capitalisation at year end	$39.2 million	$64.6 million	$58.7 million	$68 million	$42.3 million

The Group changed its accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure effective 1 July 2009. Exploration and evaluation is expensed in the year incurred.

During the years stated above, there were no returns of capital made by the Company to shareholders and no dividends paid.

During the year financial year ended 31 December 2013, no salary or fee increases were awarded to non-executive directors, executive directors or senior management of the Company.

The executive pay and reward framework has four components:

base pay and benefits;
short term incentives in the form of cash bonuses based on achievement of milestones;
long term incentives through participation in the Employee Share Option Plan and/ or the Performance Share Plan; and
other remuneration such as superannuation.

The combination of these components comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Base Pay

Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executive’s discretion. Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Base pay for senior executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s remuneration is competitive with the market. An executive’s base pay is also reviewed on promotion. There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any senior executive contracts.

Incentives – Cash Bonuses

The Board may pay discretionary cash bonuses or offer performance based incentives. When offered, bonus amounts are pre-determined and are based on achievement of milestones relevant to the Company’s strategic objectives.

Expatriate Benefits

Expatriate executives located in Brazil receive benefits including housing, relocation costs and return travel. The Company’s focus is to minimise the number of executives on expatriate arrangements.

Page 13 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Retirement Benefits

In accordance with regulatory requirements, Directors and employees are permitted to nominate a superannuation fund of their choice to receive superannuation contributions.

Long Term Incentives – Options and Performance Rights

Long term incentives comprising share options and performance rights are granted from time to time to encourage exceptional performance in the realisation of strategic outcomes and growth in shareholder wealth. Options and performance rights are granted for no consideration and do not carry voting or dividend entitlements. Information on share options and performance rights granted during the year is set out in section 4.3.4.

Short Term Incentive Plan

The Group has implemented a Short Term Incentive Plan (“STI”) to motivate and reward employees for the achievement of specific milestones. The milestones are linked to the Group’s strategic objectives of becoming a substantial producer of iron ore for both the domestic Brazilian steel market and the global iron ore export market. Achievement of the milestones would result in the payment of a pre-determined cash bonus.

The milestones used and the respective weightings of the milestones will vary by role and are designed to align performance measures to the responsibilities of each role. The STI plan is comprised of non-financial milestones, reflecting the Group’s position as a developer of iron ore projects.

Due to the commercially sensitive nature of the milestones, the precise metrics defining the performance objective have not been disclosed. No new STIs were offered in the year ended 31 December 2013. A summary of the milestones in place as at the date of this report is as follows:

Domestic Production Strategy (Jambreiro Project):

Entering into agreements for the sale of iron ore with Brazilian steel groups;

Project Acquisition:

Achieve a set production threshold for a new project acquisition; and
Securing access to new tenement packages adjacent to existing projects.

These milestones have been chosen to ensure the performance of executives is aligned with the Group’s broader strategic objectives.

Employment Agreements

Remuneration and other terms of employment for executives are formalised in employment agreements. The agreements provide for the provision of other benefits and participation, when eligible, in the Employee Share Option Plan and Performance Share Plan.

Other major provisions of the agreements relating to remuneration are set out below:

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Non- Executive Directors

Fees and payments to non-executives reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive based on comparative roles in the external market.

Non-executive directors’ remuneration consists of set fee amounts and statutory superannuation. The current base remuneration was last adjusted with effect from 1 July 2012. The level of fees for Non-executive is set at $60,000 per annum and $90,000 per annum for the non-executive Chairman. Directors do not receive additional committee fees. Non-executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The total maximum currently stands at $400,000. There is no provision for retirement allowances for Non-executive directors.

Non-executives are eligible to be granted options and performance rights to provide a material additional incentive for their ongoing commitment and dedication to the continued growth of the Group. There have been no new grants of performance rights or options to non-executive during the year. Prior to issuing incentives the Board considers whether the issue is reasonable in the circumstances. In the past incentives have been offered to assist the Company in attracting and retaining the highest calibre of Non-executive, whilst maintaining the Group’s cash reserves.

4.3.4 Equity Instruments

A Performance Share Plan (PSP) was adopted by the Board on 23 July 2012 and was approved by shareholders on 31 August 2012. Under the PSP, the Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion grant performance rights to eligible persons including executives and employees, in the form and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board determines. Performance rights are, in effect, options to acquire unissued shares in the Company, the exercise of which is subject to certain performance milestones and remaining in employment during the vesting period. Performance rights are granted under the PSP for no consideration and are granted for a period not exceeding 5 years. The performance rights will only vest into shares if the performance conditions relating to the targets are met.

Options are granted under the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) which was approved by shareholders at the 2013 annual general meeting. Eligibility to participate in the ESOP (including executive and non-executive directors) is determined by the Board in its absolute discretion. Where provided, options granted under the ESOP are for no consideration and are granted for a period of up to 5 years. The vesting and exercise conditions of options granted are also determined by the Board in its absolute discretion. Employees must remain in employment during the vesting period. Options may also be granted by the Company outside of the ESOP, but under similar terms and conditions.

Page 19 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The Group has a policy that prohibits directors and employees who are granted share options and performance rights as part of their remuneration from entering into arrangements that limit their exposure to losses that would result from share price decreases.

4.4 Audit & Risk Committee

The Audit & Risk Committee operates in accordance with its Charter which is available on the Company’s website. The role of the Committee is to assist the Board to meet its oversight responsibilities in relation to the Company’s financial reporting, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, internal control structure, risk management procedures, and the internal audit (if and when appointed) and external audit functions.

The members of the Committee are appointed by the Board. The Committee shall consist of at least three non-executive directors, consisting of a majority of independent directors. The Chairman of the Committee should be an independent director, who is not Chairman of the Board.

Page 23 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

All persons appointed to the Committee should be financially literate (able to read and understand financial statements) and have sufficient financial knowledge and understanding to allow them to discharge their duties.

The Committee will meet as frequently as necessary, but at least twice a year, in order to carry out the responsibilities of the Committee. Any Committee member may convene a meeting of the Committee.

All Board members wishing to attend are entitled to be present at Committee Meetings (except in circumstances where there is a conflict of interest). The Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary and representatives of the external auditor will normally be invited to attend meetings.

The Committee has ensured that the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have provided the following written declarations to the Board prior to the sign-off of the annual financial reports:

that the financial records of the Group for the financial year have been properly maintained, the Group’s financial reports for the financial year comply with accounting standards and present a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position and operational results; and
the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

The Committee is responsible for monitoring the Company’s external auditor relationship and makes recommendations to the Board in relation to the appointment, termination and oversight of the external auditor.

The Company appoints as external auditor an internationally recognised and respected accountancy firm which has clearly demonstrable audit quality processes and resources to carry out the assignment and who is independent from the Company.

The external auditor is required to provide an annual declaration of independence to the Committee. The external auditor is required to attend the Annual General Meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the audit report.

The external auditor is required to rotate the audit and review partners at least once every five years. A previous audit partner should not be involved in the Company’s audit for at least two years subsequent.

Details of the qualifications of directors of the Audit & Risk Committee and their attendance at Committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report.

4.5 Risk Management

The Company recognises that risk is inherent to its business and effective management of risk is essential for the achievement of the Company’s objectives and to sustainable success.

Successful risk management can enhance opportunities, reduce threats and maximise competitive advantage.

The objective of the Company’s risk management system is to provide a consistent process for the recognition and management of risks across its business. The success of the Company’s risk management system lies in the responsibility placed on everyone at all levels to proactively identify, manage, review and report on risks relating to the objectives they are accountable for delivering.

The Company applies a structured approach to identifying key areas of business risk which include strategic, health and safety, environment, human capital, finance, technology, reputation and brand, legal and compliance, and social and cultural.

At a strategic level, the Board undertakes periodic reviews of strategic and corporate risks facing the Company. The Board may use the services of external risk management consultants in these reviews. At an operational level, senior management conduct regular reviews of operational risks. These reviews may include participation by the Company’s key service providers and external risk management consultants.

A risk register is developed from the risk reviews. The risk register includes details of the risks identified, qualitative risk assessment and the risk response plan. A consolidated report of key strategic, corporate and operational risks and the appropriate management strategies is prepared and presented to the Audit & Risk Committee of the Board, which meets at least two times per year.

The Company’s risk profile may change over time. Part of the process of regular reviews of existing risks is to identify new and emerging risks.

Due to the size and nature of the Company, an internal audit function has not been established or internal audit review conducted.

The Board oversees the processes by which risks are managed. This will include the Company’s risk appetite, monitoring of risk performance and those risks that may have a material impact to the business.

The Board is responsible for satisfying itself that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management. The Board delegates detailed review of the risk management systems to the Audit & Risk Committee. This Committee reports regularly to the Board.

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer are required to state to the Board in writing that the declaration relating to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements is founded on a sound system of risk management and that the system is operating in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Page 25 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Senior management is responsible for the design and implementation of the risk management system to manage the Company’s risks and report to the Board whether those risks are being effectively managed.

4.6 Ethical Standards

Code of Conduct

The Group has developed a statement of values and a Code of Conduct (the Code) which has been fully endorsed by the Board and applies to all directors and employees. The Code is available on the Company’s website. The Code is 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 requires that at all times, all Group personnel act with the utmost integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and the spirit of the law and Group policies.

Securities Trading Policy

The Company has adopted a Securities Trading Policy which is available on the Company’s website.

The Policy applies to executive and non-executive directors, full-time, part-time and casual employees, and contractors, consultants and advisers of the Company. Additional trading restrictions apply to directors and senior managers (means those managers who report directly to the Managing Director).

The Policy prohibits dealings in the Company’s securities when in possession of price-sensitive information that is not generally available to the market.

Directors and employees must not partake in short-term trading of the Company’s securities which is defined as less than a 30-day period.

Directors and senior managers are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities during the following blackout periods:

1 week prior to the release of annual and half yearly accounts to the ASX;
1 week prior to the release of the quarterly results announcement to the ASX; and
2 business days after the release of any ASX announcement.

Trading during blackout periods may only be permitted with prior approval of the Chairman (or, in the case of the Chairman, with the approval of the Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee), where there are exceptional circumstances (such as severe financial hardship) and the director or senior manager is not aware of inside information.

Before trading in the Company’s securities during periods outside of the Blackout Periods (if permitted by the Policy), directors and senior managers must comply with the following:

Directors must advise the Chairman prior to any proposed trading; and
In the case of the Chairman and senior managers, they must advise the Managing Director and Company Secretary.

Directors must notify the Company Secretary promptly of sufficient details of any trading to enable notice to be filed in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules within 5 business days of the trading.

Page 26 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Before any director or senior manager enters into a loan arrangement (for example margin lending) whereby the Company’s securities are mortgaged, provided as security, lent or charged to a financier, they must comply with the following:

Directors must seek approval from the Chairman; and
In the case of the Chairman and senior managers, they must seek approval from the Managing Director.

Directors and senior managers must also inform the Company Secretary of all loan arrangements affecting the Company’s securities. This includes the creation, variation or discharge of security arrangements.

Directors and employees participating in an equity-based incentive plan are prohibited from entering into any transaction which would have the effect of hedging or otherwise transferring to any other person the risk of any fluctuation in the value of any unvested entitlement in the Company’s securities.

Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy

During the year the Company adopted an Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy which is available on the Company’s website.

The Company is committed to operating in a manner consistent with the laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates, including those relating to anti-bribery and corruption. Honesty, integrity and fairness are considered integral to the way the Company operates, and conduct associated with bribery and corruption is inconsistent with these values.

The Company has a strict policy which does not tolerate that its personnel, suppliers and all third parties who we do business with engage in activity that constitutes bribery or corruption. The Company strictly prohibits the payment, offer or authorisation of a bribe, as well as the receipt or acceptance of a bribe.

The Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy sets out the Company’s policy requirements and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws.

A breach of the Policy is a serious matter which will be investigated and addressed by the Company.

Disciplinary action will be taken against any personnel who breach the Policy. This includes failure to report breaches of the Policy. The action taken will depend on the severity of the breach but may include:

reprimands;
formal warnings;
demotions; and
termination of employment or any analogous arrangements.

In the case of third parties to whom the Policy also applies, Centaurus will not hesitate to terminate its relationship with a third party who has been found to breach the Policy.

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

4.7 Continuous Disclosure and Shareholder Communication

The Group has written 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.

These policies and procedures also include the arrangements the Group has in place to promote communication with shareholders and encourage effective participation at general meetings. A summary of these policies and procedures is available on the Company’s website.

The Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules and overseeing, in conjunction with the Managing Director and Chairman, information disclosure to the ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website on the same day it is released 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 prior to the presentation being made. 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.

4.8 Diversity

The Group values diversity in all aspects of its business and is committed to creating a working environment that recognises and utilises the contribution of all its employees. The purpose of this policy is to provide diversity and equality relating to all employment matters. The Group’s policy is to recruit and manage on the basis of ability and qualification for the position and performance, irrespective of gender, age, marital status, sexuality, nationality, race/cultural background, religious or political opinions, family responsibilities or disability. The Group opposes all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.

Gender Diversity

The Board is responsible for establishing and monitoring on an annual basis the achievement against gender diversity objectives and strategies, including the representation of women at all levels of the organisation. The proportion of women within the whole organisation was as follows:

	2013	2012
Women employees in the whole organisation Women in Senior Executive positions Women on the Board of Directors	36% 0% 0%	30% 0% 14%

The Board recognises that there is a gender imbalance amongst senior management and nonexecutive director positions, and that an opportunity exists to address this upon future appointments to these positions.

A copy of the Diversity Policy is available on the Company's website.

4.9 Non-Compliance Statement

The Company has not followed all of the Recommendations set out in Australian Securities Exchange Limited Listing Rule 4.10.3. The Recommendations that have not been followed and the explanation of any departures are as follows:

A majority of the Board should be independent directors. The Board consists of six directors, consisting of four non-executive directors and two executive directors. Of the four nonexecutive directors, three are deemed to be independent directors. The other nonexecutive director, Mr Hancock, is the representative of the Company’s largest shareholder, and as such does not meet the requirement to qualify as an independent director. The current size of the Company does not justify a larger Board with a majority of independent directors.
The Board should establish a Nomination Committee. The role of the Nomination Committee is carried out by the full Board. The Board considers that given its size, no efficiencies or other benefits are gained by establishing a separate Nomination Committee.
Companies should establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. Due to the size of the Company, the Board does not deem it practical to limit the Company to specific targets for gender diversity as it operates in a very competitive labour market where positions are sometimes difficult to fill. However, every candidate suitably qualified for a position has an equal opportunity of appointment regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or cultural background.
Non-executive directors should not receive options. Non-executive directors are eligible to participate in the Employee Share Option Plan to provide a material additional incentive for their ongoing commitment and dedication to the continued growth of the Group. The Board considers that there are circumstances where the issue of options is reasonable and will assist the Company in attracting and retaining the highest calibre of non-executive directors to the Company, whilst maintaining the Group’s cash reserves and delivering on the Group’s strategic objectives.

5 Principal Activities

During the period the principal activities of the Group consisted of exploration and pre-development activities related to iron ore mineral resources. There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group during the year

Financial Performance

In 2012 the Group changed its financial year end from June to December and as a result of this change the comparative period covers the six month period from 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2012. During the year ended 31 December 2013 the Group recognised an impairment loss of $18,690,780 on the carrying values of two of its Iron Ore Projects, Itambé and Passabém. These projects were assessed for impairment as a result of the Group’s intent to focus on the Jambreiro project. This impairment resulted in the reversal of a previously recognised deferred tax liability resulting in an income tax benefit of $3,206,305. Exploration and Evaluation costs totalling $12,240,270 (2012 $7,115,483) were expensed in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. The exploration and evaluation costs primarily comprise costs in relation to project development and engineering work at the Jambreiro project in Brazil, in addition to exploration work undertaken at Canavial and Candonga.

Financial Position

At the end of the period the Group had a net cash balance of $4,843,508 (2012: $23,402,755) and net assets of $12,008,268 (2012: $44,345,983). Total liabilities amounted to $1,680,558 (2012: $5,838,893) and were limited to trade and other payables, employee benefits and deferred tax liabilities.

Strategy

The key focus of the Group during the year has remained on its Domestic Iron & Steel Strategy, which is based on commencing production from its flagship Jambreiro Iron Ore Project in Brazil. The Group achieved a number of important milestones during year which will assist in achieving this goal.

Production from this operation is planned to be sold into the large domestic steel industry in southeastern Brazil, which is based in and around the world class iron ore mining region of south-eastern Brazil known as the “Iron Quadrangle”.

Page 30 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

In the longer term Centaurus holds a portfolio of iron ore assets that will be evaluated as potential future production centres or hubs for the Company’s Domestic Strategy. These include the Guanhães tenements – Canavial and Candonga, for which Centaurus announced maiden resource estimates during the year.

In addition to producing iron ore to sell into the Brazilian steel industry, Centaurus also plans to sell iron ore into the seaborne market. This Export Market Strategy plans to leverage off the cash flow to be generated by the domestic iron ore business to develop projects around existing port and rail infrastructure.

Project Activities

Jambreiro Iron Ore Project (Centaurus 100%)

During the year the Company announced a staged development plan for the Jambreiro Project based on the commencement of production at 1 Mtpa[1] with the ability to subsequently increase to 2-3Mtpa. No further environmental approvals will be required for this expansion as the Project is already licenced for a 3Mtpa production rate. This revised development strategy will result in a substantial reduction in pre-production capital, enabling the Company to commence development with significantly less financing risk and in the shortest possible timeframe. Subject to finalisation of an appropriate funding package, development is planned to commence during the first half of 2014 with first production targeted during the first half of 2015.

The Company’s plan is to establish a strong cash flow business from the initial 1Mtpa Jambreiro development and then expand the production rate into the domestic market or as soon as an export path is established for the Jambreiro high-grade product into the seaborne market.

Mining Lease Granted

During the year the Company secured the grant of three Concessão de Lavra (Mining Leases) that comprise the tenement package at Jambreiro. The grant of the group of Mining Leases by the Ministry of Mines and Energy in Brazil – which have been officially gazetted in the Diário Oficial da União – represents a key strategic asset of the Company for future mining operations at Jambreiro.

The grant will also greatly assist Centaurus to complete the funding process for the development of the Jambreiro Project. Whilst the grant of the Mining leases was not required to enable construction to commence at Jambreiro, it will ensure that Centaurus is able to commence operations and generate positive cash flows on completion of the construction process.

Environmental Approvals

In March 2013, the Federal Department of Mineral Production (DNPM) in Brazil approved the PAE (Economic Development Plan) for the Jambreiro Iron Ore Project. The receipt of the PAE approval represented the final approval required from the DNPM before the relevant environmental agencies could issue the Installation Licence (LI) for the Project. The Company subsequently secured the key LI for the Jambreiro Project in April 2013, clearing the way for on-site construction to commence.

1 Refer to ASX announcements dated 20 December 2013 and 13 January 2014 for details of the material assumptions underpinning the production target for the Jambreiro Project. The Company confirms that all the material assumptions underpinning the production target continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Initial Site Works

With the Company having secured the key environmental Installation Licence for the Jambreiro Project, Centaurus commenced some initial on-site work during the year. Water availability during construction and the operational phase is an important consideration for the Project.

Accordingly, a local earthmoving contractor was engaged to construct a temporary coffer dam immediately upstream from the site for the project’s main tailings dam wall.

Engineering Work

Two key contracts for the Jambreiro Project, the Management Support Contract and the Detailed Engineering and Procurement Contract, were awarded during the period.

A detailed review and refinement of the plant general arrangement and layout was conducted, which resulted in a reduction of the plant footprint and therefore the earthworks required.

A significant focus of this effort was the utilisation of the natural site contours to minimise power demand during operations. While this will be valuable for the full project life, it has also assisted greatly in reducing unit power consumption and allowed the project to consider a start-up utilising contracted higher unit cost diesel power while still achieving a reasonable cost per tonne of finished high-grade product.

Competitive turnkey pricing for complete supply and installation has also been obtained, strengthening confidence in all previous study work. This was prepared for the original 2Mtpa project and is now being requoted for a 1Mtpa plant production rate to accommodate the change in the initial production rate.

Specific areas of detailed design work progressed and completed include the project water supply involving intake works, pipeline route and the combined water storage/tailings dam. The designs for these facilities have been phased, again assisting in the deferment of some capital costs under the new production scenario.

While not essential for a 1Mtpa start-up, the preferred locations for the power sub-stations and overall land requirement for the grid power supply have been progressed with CEMIG, the eventual grid power transmission authority.

Offtake Arrangements

The Company continued to progress discussions with a leading Brazilian-based iron ore and steel group in respect to off-take and encompassing a long term, take-or-pay arrangement.

While these negotiations are progressing, the finalisation of this off-take arrangement is reliant on the re-commencement of construction of a new port development in the south-east region of Brazil. This new port development should provide an opportunity for the potential off-taker to optimise its iron ore consumption – including any future arrangement in respect to Jambreiro ore – between the domestic and export markets.

At present, the timely completion of this partially constructed port capacity is awaiting the recommencement of on site activities following the settlement of the sale of the port development to new international third parties.

Other Project Activities

An in-fill RC drill program was completed, enabling some of the existing Inferred Resources falling within the current pit design to be converted to Measured and Indicated Resources.

Page 32 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The Company’s JORC 2004 Mineral Resource estimate at Jambreiro now stands at 128 million tonnes (Measured, Indicated and Inferred) at an average grade of 27.2% Fe[2] .

The Company contracted a number of environmental monitoring programs which are required under the Licence terms to be maintained during the period of site disturbance.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State of Minas Gerais and a group of key State Departments which will result in the provision of important fiscal concessions and project facilitation benefits for the development of the Project was secured.

The Company also made significant progress engaging with potential debt financiers. Key terms of a term sheet for a project finance facility were discussed and an Independent Engineer completed an Independent Technical Report for the purpose of debt financiers.

Export Opportunity

In conjunction with the development of the new base case production scenario for Jambreiro, the Company has also been actively pursuing potential avenues to export Jambreiro product using the existing and well established EFVM rail line and a number of port alternatives in the vicinity of both the Brazilian port of Vitória and the major Tubarão port complex in the State of Espírito Santo.

In this regard, the Company has commenced discussions to establish contractual arrangements with Rail and Port operators of the infrastructure required to establish a future permanent export path for Jambreiro ore. Shorter term contracts for suitable logistics services are available immediately for the project capacity now contemplated and further work is now in progress to establish long-term permanent logistics capacity which will support a future export development option.

Candonga Iron Ore Project (Centaurus 100%)

During the year, the Company undertook a drilling campaign at the Candonga Iron Ore Project, located 33km from Jambreiro. A maiden JORC 2004 Mineral Resource estimate was delivered of 11.9 Mt grading 43% Fe[3] including 0.9Mt of high grade itabirite mineralisation grading 58.6%.

It is expected that the Candonga mineralisation will be able to be upgraded to a high grade, low impurity product using a similar process flowsheet to the one that will be utilised at Jambreiro.

The Company successfully lodged the Final Exploration Report with the DNPM in November 2013. In parallel, an application for a temporary Mining License is being prepared that allows mining of 300,000 tonnes of ROM material per licence and requires simplified environmental licenses.

Canavial Iron Ore Project (Centaurus 100%)

During the year Centaurus delivered a maiden JORC 2004 Mineral Resource estimate for the Canavial Project of 27.6 million tonnes (Indicated and Inferred) at an average grade of 30.5% Fe[4] . Canavial is a key satellite deposit located 10km to the south-west of Jambreiro.

2 Refer to ASX announcement dated 29 July 2013 for full details of the Resource estimate. This Resource estimate has not been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

3 Refer to ASX announcement dated 8 August 2013 for full details of the Resource estimate. This Resource estimate has not been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

Page 33 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The Resource includes a significant component (15.8 million tonnes grading 33.2% Fe) of friable itabirite mineralisation which complements that of the Jambreiro Project.

The JORC Resources defined at Canavial and Candonga, when combined with the latest Jambreiro Resource estimate, boosts the Company’s total JORC compliant Resource Inventory in the Guanhães region of south-eastern Brazil to over 167 million tonnes at an average grade of 28.9% Fe and the Company’s total Resource Inventory in south-eastern Brazil to over 216 million tonnes at an average grade of 29.6% Fe. Importantly the Company’s friable itabirite Resource Inventory in the Guanhães region has been lifted to over 89 million tonnes at an average grade of 30.8% Fe[5] .

Page 34 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Iron Ore Commodity Prices

The iron ore price fluctuates according to changes in demand and supply. The Company is exposed to changes in the iron ore price, which could affect the profitability of the Company’s projects. Significant adverse movements in the iron ore price could also affect the ability to raise debt and equity to fund the development of projects.

Exchange Rates

The Company will be exposed to changes in the US Dollar and the Brazilian Real. Sales of iron ore will be denominated in US Dollars. The Company’s CAPEX and OPEX costs will be primarily denominated in Brazilian Real.

Project Implementation

The implementation of new projects on time and on budget is critical to maximising shareholder returns.

Access to Infrastructure

Success in selling iron ore to international export markets will be dependent on securing access to rail and port infrastructure. The Company is in discussions with rail and port operators of the infrastructure required to establish a future permanent export path for Jambreiro ore.

Operating Risks

Once in operations, the Company will be exposed to a number of factors and business risks including mining, beneficiation of ore, health and safety and environmental issues.

Emphasis of Matter

The audit opinion for the year ended 31 December 2013 contains an emphasis of matter in relation to potential uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern. The Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern. The Group will require funding in order to continue its exploration activities and to fund development of the Jambreiro Iron Ore Project. Refer to Note 2 of the Financial Report for further details.

13 Indemnification and Insurance of Officers and Auditors

During the period, the Company paid insurance premiums to insure the directors, executive officers and secretary of the Group. The amount of premiums paid has not been disclosed due to confidentiality requirements under the contract of insurance.

The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the Consolidated Entity, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else or to cause detriment to the Group

14 Non- Audit Services

During the period KPMG, the Company’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties.

The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor, did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2013

Note 1. Reporting Entity

Centaurus Metals Limited (“the Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The Company’s registered office is at Level 1, 16 Ord Street, West Perth WA 6005. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group” and individually “Group entities”). The Group is a forprofit entity and primarily is involved in exploration for and development of iron ore resources.

Note 2. Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 25 March 2014.

Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value; and
Share based payments are measured at fair value.

Change of Financial Year End

The financial year of the Company was changed in 2012 from 30 June to 31 December to align the Company’s financial year end with that of its Brazilian subsidiaries. This change was implemented to improve the efficiency of the Company’s financial reporting allowing the Company to co-ordinate financial reporting and the audit and review process with its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the financial period of the Group reported in these financial statements covers the twelve month period from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013. Comparative figures for the financial statements cover the six month period from 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2012.

Going Concern

The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Page 46 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

During the year, the Group incurred a loss after tax of $32,714,987 with net cash outflows of $18,590,984. The Group has a working capital surplus of $3,889,158.

The Group’s strategy is to develop its iron ore projects in south- eastern Brazil and is focused on the development of its Jambreiro Iron Ore Project. The Group plans to continue exploration work on its other iron ore projects during 2014. The Group has the ability to accelerate its work programs or to reduce or defer expenditure.

The Group expects it will require further funding in order to continue its exploration activities and fund development of the Jambreiro Iron Ore Project. The Group will require a combination of debt and equity to fund its project development. In the event the project does not proceed as planned, the Group intends to raise funds via equity issues. Additionally, if necessary should such funding not be achieved, interests in the Group’s projects can be sold or farmed out as required in order to maintain sufficient cash reserves.

The Directors believe that the Group will be able to secure funding sufficient to meet requirements to continue as a going concern due to the following:

The Group has successfully raised equity capital in the past;
The Group is well advanced in discussions with debt and equity providers regarding the funding of its planned development; and
The Group has received indications of funding support from its significant shareholders.

Should the Group not secure additional funding, there are material uncertainties as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Functional and Presentation Currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The functional currency of the Brazilian subsidiaries is the Brazilian Real.

Note 4. Use of Judgements and Estimates

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

(a) Judgements

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included below and also in the following notes:

Page 47 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Note 16 - Other Receivables and Prepayments;
Note 19 - Exploration and Evaluation Assets. The application of the Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.; and
Note 25 - Financial Instruments – Fair Values & Risk Management.

(b) Assumptions and Estimation Uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ending 31 December 2013 is included in the following notes:

Note 19 – Exploration and evaluation assets. In addition to applying judgement to determine whether future economic benefits are likely to arise from the Group’s Exploration and Evaluation assets or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves, the Group has to apply a number of estimates and assumptions. The Group is required to make estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, whether successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the respective areas of interest will be achieved. Critical to this assessment are estimates and assumptions as to ore reserves, the timing of expected cash flows, exchange rates, commodity prices and future capital requirements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions as new information about the recoverability of ore reserves becomes available, may impact the assessment of the recoverable amount of exploration and evaluation assets. If, after the expenditure is capitalised, information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount is written off to profit or loss in the period when that information becomes available.

Measurement of Fair Values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the methods described below. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data where possible and relevant. Fair values are categorised into difference levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the value techniques as follows:

Level 1 : quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 : inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 : inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

Page 48 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

(i) Investments in Equity Securities

The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date.

(ii) Derivatives

The fair value of listed options is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of unlisted options is determined using a valuation model.

(iii) Trade and Other Receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes.

(iv) Share-based Payment Transactions

The fair value of the employee share options are valued using the applicable valuation methodology. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and performance conditions attached to vesting are not taken into account in determining fair value. The fair value of the employee performance rights is measured using the 5 day weighted average share price prior to grant date. Where the service period commences prior to grant date the fair value is provisionally calculated and subsequently revised upon grant date.

Note 5. Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the changes explained in Note 5(q), the Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by the Group entities.

(a) Basis of Consolidation

(i) Business Combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date control is transferred to the Group (see (a)(iii)). The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment (see (g)(ii)). Transaction costs such as legal fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Page 49 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s employees (acquiree’s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.

For every business combination, the Group identifies the acquirer, which is the combining entity that obtains control of the other combining entities or businesses. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgement is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.

(ii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with policies adopted by the Group.

(iii) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

Inter-Group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intraGroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(b) Foreign Currency

(i) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate at the reporting date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

Page 50 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

(ii) Foreign Operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at average exchange rates for the period.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve, or FCTR) within equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the FCTR.

(c) Financial Instruments

The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories at fair value through profit and loss, held-to-maturity financials assets, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.

The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category.

(i) Non- derivative Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Recognition and Derecognition

The Group initially recognises loans, receivables and deposits on the date when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred, or it neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. Any interest in such derecognised financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: receivables, cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets.

Page 51 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Receivables

Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

These assets are recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (refer Note 5(g)) and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale equity instruments (see Note 5(b)(i)), are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

The Group’s investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.

(ii) Non derivative Financial Liabilities – Measurement

Non-derivative financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(iii) Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares or share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effect.

(iv) Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value any directly attributable transactions costs are recognised in profit and loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) Recognition and Measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Page 52 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Any gains or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

(ii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit and loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

•	Plant & equipment	10-15 years
•	Motor Vehicles	3-5 years
•	Furniture, fittings and equipment	3-8 years
•	Software	1-3 years
•	Leasehold improvements	5 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

(e) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred. Acquisition costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Where an area of interest is abandoned, or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated acquisition costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made. Each area of interest is also reviewed at the end of each accounting period and accumulated costs written off to the extent that they will not be recoverable in the future.

Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until production commences.

Exploration and evaluation assets are transferred to Development Assets once technical feasibility and commercial viability of an area of interest is demonstrable. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment and any impairment loss is recognised prior to being reclassified

The carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective area of interest.

Page 53 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability or facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when any of the following facts and circumstances exist:

The term of exploration license in the specific area of interest has expired during the reporting period or will expire in the near future and is not expected to be renewed;
Substantive expenditures on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area are not budgeted nor planned;
Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area has not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the decision was made to discontinue such activities in the specified area; or
Sufficient data exists to indicate that although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.

Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each cash-generating unit which is no larger than the area of interest. The Group performs impairment testing in accordance with Accounting Policy 5(g)(ii).

Farm-out Arrangements

Arrangements whereby an external party earns an ownership interest in an exploration or development property via the sole-funding of a specified exploration, evaluation or development programme or by injection of funds to be utilised for such a programme will be accounted so that the Group recognises its share of assets, liabilities and equity associated with the property. Any gain or loss upon initial recognition of these items will be recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(f) Leases

(i) Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.

(ii) Leased Assets

Assets held by the Group under leases that transfer to the Group substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position.

Page 54 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

(iii) Lease Payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

(g) Impairment

(i) Non- derivative Financial Assets

Financial assets not classified at fair value through profit or loss are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include:

Default or delinquency by a debtor;
Restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
Indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy;
Adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers;
The disappearance of an active market for a security; or
Observable data indicating that there is measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.

In addition, for an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment. The Group considers a decline of 20% to be significant and a period of 9 months to be prolonged.

For Financial Assets measure at amortised cost the Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables and are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified.

Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together receivables with similar risk characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

Page 55 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve to profit or loss. The amount reclassified is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss.

If the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security subsequently increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss; otherwise, it is reversed through other comprehensive income.

(ii) Non- financial Assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. The group of assets is referred to as the Cash Generating Unit or CGU.

Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment is tested reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

(h) Non-current Assets Held For Sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, investment property and biological assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

(i) Employee Benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(ii) Other Long-term Employee Benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than defined benefit plans is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated or government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. The calculation is performed using the projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(iii) Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.

(iv) Short-term Benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided.

Page 57 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(v) Share-based Payment Transactions

The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that employees become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-market conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Share-based payment arrangements in which the Group receives goods or services as consideration for its own equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions, regardless of how the equity instruments are obtained by the Group.

When the Company grants options over its shares to employees of subsidiaries, the fair value at grant date is recognised as an increase in the investments in subsidiaries, with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period of the grant.

(j) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

(k) Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

Revenue is recognised when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

(l) Finance Income and Finance Costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), dividend income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and gains on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the exdividend date.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

(m) Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purpose

Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Page 59 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

(n) Goods and Services Tax and Equivalent Indirect Taxes

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) and equivalent indirect taxes, except where the amount of tax incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of tax included. The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The tax components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority are classified as operating cash flows.

(o) Earnings per Share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for shares held by the Company’s sponsored employee share plan trust. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

(p) Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components.

All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Managing Director (‘MD’) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the MD include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise minimal, not material corporate assets (primarily the Group’s headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

(q) Changes in accounting policies

The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

AASB 10 (2011) introduces a new control model that focuses on whether the Group has power over an investee and the ability to use its power to affect those returns.

Page 60 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The application of this standard has not resulted in any change to the consolidated group as previously reported under AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements

Under AASB 11 there has been a change to the definition of joint arrangements. Joint arrangements are based on the definition of control as set out in AASB 10. Depending on the underlying rights and obligations arising from the arrangement; joint arrangements are accounted for as either joint operations or joint ventures. AASB 11 requires that joint operations be proportionately consolidated and joint ventures be equity accounted for. The Group has no joint arrangements and therefore the amendments have not resulted in a change for the Group.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

AASB 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. Application of this standard does not affect any amounts recognised in the financial statements.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for all far value measurements and enhances fair value disclosures. Application of AASB 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurements of the Group. Additional disclosures, where required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined.

AASB 101 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

As a result of amendments to AASB 101, the Group has modified the presentation of items of Other Comprehensive Income in its statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, to present separately items that would be reclassified to profit or loss from those that would never be. Comparative information has been re-presented accordingly.

AASB 119 Employee Benefits (2011)

The revised standard changes the accounting for defined benefit plans. Interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in the previous version of AASB 119 are replaced with a net interest amount, calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset at the start of each annual reporting period. The revised standard has also introduced a distinction between short-term and other long term benefits which are now classified based on when payment is expected.

(r) New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the entity in the period of initial application. They may be available for early adoption at 31 December 2013, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments applicable to annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2015. Includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the project to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Page 61 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

AASB 9 will become mandatory for the Group’s 31 December 2015 financial statements. Retrospective application is generally required, although there are exceptions. The Group has not yet determined the potential effect of the standard.

Note 6. Operating Segments

The Group operates in the iron ore exploration industry. For management purposes the Group is organised into one main operating segment which involves the exploration of minerals. All of the Group’s activities are interrelated and financial information is reported to the Managing Director (Chief Operating Decision Maker) as a single segment. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis on the Group as one segment. The financial results and financial position from this segment are largely equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole, with the exception of corporate administration expenses in Australia and Brazil of $5,141,247 (31 December 2012: $2,699,291[(1)] ) and deferred tax liabilities of $3,872 (31 December 2012: $3,084,095) which are reviewed separately from the Group’s operating segment.

Note 11. Share-based Payments

Description of the Share-based Payment Arrangements

Employee Share Option Plan

The Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”) was approved by shareholders at the 2013 annual general meeting. All employees (including directors) are eligible to participate in the ESOP. Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is converted into one ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights.

Options were issued to Consultants outside of the ESOP.

There were no new options granted during the year ended 31 December 2013 or for the prior period.

Reconciliation of Outstanding Share Options

The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options issued under the employee share option plan and issued to consultants are as follows:

Weighted Average Exercise Price 2013	Number of Options 2013 Weighted Average Exercise Price 2012
		Number of Options 2012
Outstanding at start of period $0.807 Forfeited during the period $1.040 Expired during the period $0.731 Outstanding at balance date $0.809 Exercisable at balance date $0.813	7,356,250 $0.833 (37,500) $0.720 (368,750) $1.960 6,950,000 $0.807 5,587,500 $0.736	7,700,000 (156,250) (187,500)
		7,356,250
		5,500,000

The options outstanding at 31 December 2013 have an exercise price in the range of $0.40 to $1.80 (2012: $0.40 to $1.80) and the weighted average remaining contractual life is 1.01 years (2012: 1.95 years).

There were no ESOP options exercised during the year (2012 nil.).

Performance Share Plan

A Performance Share Plan (PSP) was adopted by the Board of Directors on 23 July 2012 and was approved by shareholders on 31 August 2012. Under the PSP, the Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion grant performance rights to eligible persons including executives and employees, in the form and subject to terms and conditions determined by the Board. Performance rights are, in effect, options to acquire unissued shares in the Company, the exercise of which is subject to certain performance milestones and remaining in employment during the vesting period. Performance rights are granted under the PSP for no consideration and are granted for a period not exceeding 5 years. The fair value at grant date is measured using the 5 day weighted average share price.

There were no performance rights granted during the year ended 31 December 2013.

During the year performance rights were forfeited due to failure to meet vesting conditions. Share based payment expenses in relation to these performance rights were reversed during the period. In addition a number of unvested options and performance rights are not expected to vest due to the revised development strategy for the Jambreiro Project and the expected timeframe required to develop an economic export business for the Project. Share based payment expenses in relation to these performance rights and options which are not expected to vest were reversed during the period.

(1) Relates to tax credits on previously capitalised exploration reclassified to other assets.

During the year ended 31 December 2013 the Group recognised an impairment loss on the carrying values of two of its Iron Ore Projects, Itambé and Passabém. The projects were assessed for impairment as a result of the Group’s intent to focus on the Jambreiro project. The Group engaged the services of valuation experts both in Brazil and Australia to assist in the calculation of the recoverable amount of these underlying assets. The method applied to calculate the recoverable amount (being the fair value less cost to sell) was the Enterprise Value method. This method incorporates the entity’s current market value and allocates the value on a reasonable basis to the underlying assets. This resulted in the recognition of an impairment loss as follows:

	Carrying Amount 31 December 2013 Recoverable Amount Impairment Charge
Project
Passabém Itambé Total	12,330,973 1,570,000 10,760,973 8,409,807 480,000 7,929,807
	20,740,780 2,050,000 18,690,780

Page 74 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

The impairment charge resulted in a reversal of a recognised deferred tax liability of $3,206,305 resulting in a net impact on the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss of $15,484,475. These assets are part of the Brazil geographical reporting segment.

The ultimate recoupment of exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the respective project areas.

The deferred tax liability relates to Brazil exploration assets acquired through a business combination. During the year an impairment charge was raised resulting in the reversal of a recognised deferred tax liability of $3,206,305 offset by foreign currency movements of $126,082. Potential deferred tax assets of the same amount in Brazil have not been recognised on the basis that the ability to utilise these losses has not yet been determined probable.

(c) Financial Risk Management

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from the use of financial instruments:

Credit Risk (see (c)(ii))
Liquidity Risk (see (c)(iii))
Market Risk (see (c)(iv)).

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and their management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

(i) Risk Management Framework

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Audit Committee, via its Charter, oversees the effective operation of the risk management framework.

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their role and obligations.

Page 80 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

(ii) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s other receivables and investment securities.

Other Receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each counterparty. However, management also considers the default risk of the industry and country in which counterparties operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.

The other receivables consist of mainly refundable deposits, court settlement proceeds and tax credits. An allowance for impairment has been recognised as at 31 December 2013.

Investments

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by investing predominantly in liquid securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Exposure to Credit Risk

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

	2013 $ 2012 $


Cash and cash equivalents (i) Other receivables	4,843,508 23,402,755 1,833,225 1,696,362
	6,676,733 25,099,117

(i) The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated BBB to AA based on rating agency Standard and Poor’s rating.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for other receivables at the reporting date by geographic region was:

	Carrying Amount
	2013 $ 2012 $


Australia Brazil	56,643 257,356 1,776,582 1,439,006
	1,833,225 1,696,362

These balances are net of provision for impairment (refer to Note 16).

Page 81 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

Provision for Impairment

The movement in the provision in respect of other receivables during the year was as follows.

	2013 $ 2012 $


Opening balance Reversal of provision for impairment Provision for impairment Provision used Foreign currency exchange	541,898 747,963 - (380,177) - 243,535 (362,332) (65,725) 2,443 (3,698)
	182,009 541,898

Amounts receivable as a result of the Court Settlement award relating to Liberdade are past due and a provision for impairment has been recognised of $182,009 (31 December 2012: $179,567). At 31 December 2012 $362,331 was provided for in relation to indirect tax credits which was not considered to be recoverable. This amount was written off during the year ended 31 December 2013. None of the Company’s other receivables are past due (31 December 2012: nil). The Group believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of the other receivables not past due.

(iii) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with the financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

As at 31 December 2013, the Group has current trade and other payables of $1,207,301 (31 December 2012: $2,321,754). The Group believes it will have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial liabilities when due.

The following table shows the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, excluding the impact of netting agreements. It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

	Carrying amount Contractual cash flows 6 mths or less 6-12 mths 1-2 years 2-5 year More than 5 years

Page 82 of 91

Annual Financial Report – 31 December 2013

(iv) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risks exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Currency Risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on purchases that are denominated in currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (AUD) and Brazilian Real (BRL). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are AUD and BRL.

The Group investment in its Brazilian subsidiary is denominated in AUD and is not hedged as those currency positions are considered to be long term in nature.

Exposure to Currency Risk

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date was as follows, based on notional amounts:

	2013 USD $ 2012 USD $
AUD Equivalents Trade and other payables On issue at the end of the period	- (964,000)
	- (964,000)

Sensitivity Analysis

A strengthening of the AUD, as indicated below, against the BRL and the USD at 31 December would have decreased equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

	Equity		Profit or loss
	$		$
31 December 2013
USD (10 percent strengthening)		-	-
31 December 2012
USD (10 percent strengthening)		-	96,400

A weakening of the AUD against the above currencies at 31 December would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Cash Flow Sensitivity Analysis For Variable Rate Instruments

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2012.

	Profit or Loss Equity
	100bp Increase 100bp Decrease 100bp Increase 100bp Decrease

Commodity Risk

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk. The risk arises from its activities directed at exploration and development of mineral commodities, primarily iron ore. If commodity prices fall, the market for companies exploring for these commodities is affected.

Other Market Price Risk

Equity price risk arises from available-for-sale equity securities held. These financial assets were acquired as a result of the sale of tenements to Clancy Exploration Limited, Southern Crown Resources Limited, Antipa Minerals Limited and Orinoco Gold Ltd.

Capital Management

The objectives for managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. Centaurus Metals Limited is an exploration company and it is dependent from time to time on its ability to raise capital from the issue of new shares and its ability to realise value from its exploration and evaluation assets. The Board is responsible for capital management. This involves the use of cash flow forecasts to determine future capital management requirements. Capital management is undertaken to ensure a secure, cost-effective and flexible supply of funds is available to meet the Group’s operating and capital expenditure requirements.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the period.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Note 26. Contingent Liabilities

Guarantees

Guarantees given in respect of bank security bonds amounting to $43,377 (2012: $43,787), secured by cash deposits lodged as security with the bank.

No material losses are anticipated in respect of any of the above contingent liabilities.

There are no other contingent liabilities that require disclosure.

Note 27. Operating Leases

Leases as Lessee

The Group leases a number of offices and apartments under operating lease. The leases run for a period of one to four years, with an option to renew the lease after that date.

The office leases were combined leases of land and buildings. Since the land title does not pass, the rent paid to the landlord of the building is increased to market rent at regular intervals, and the Group does not participate in the residual value of the building, it was determined that substantially all the risks and rewards of the building are with the landlord. As such, the Group determined that the leases are operating leases.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Centaurus Metals Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Centaurus Metals Limited (the company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, notes 1 to 32 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. In note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control . An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Group’s financial position and of its performance.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Material uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern
