REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

MT THIRSTY Ni-Co-Mn PROJECT (Fission 50%)

On 18[th] April 2008, Fission Energy Ltd signed a Sale and Purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Meteore Metals Limited (ACN 097 759 325) which is the manager of a 50:50 Joint Venture with Barra Resources Limited (ASX:BAR) on the Mt Thirsty Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese Project. Mt Thirsty is situated approximately 20km north northwest of Norseman in Western Australia (Figure 1).

Total consideration for the acquisition of Meteore Metals was A$8.0 million of which approximately A$6.1 million was paid in cash and the balance in fully paid ordinary shares in Fission. The consideration was payable in installments and subject to due diligence by Fission, raising a minimum of A$4.0 million and shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company.

Fission formally acquired the 100% interest in Meteore Metals Limited following a capital raising and approval given at a General Meeting convened on 1st July 2008.

Mt Thirsty Ni –Co-Mn Laterite Deposit

The Mt Thirsty deposit differs from typical nickel laterite occurrences in that it is completely oxidised and contains relatively high cobalt values. The particular mineralogy of the deposit, which is a product of a unique weathering history, allows for rapid high leaching recoveries (80% Co and 50% Ni), at moderate temperatures and normal atmospheric pressure utilising weak, acidic reagents. Metallurgical test work is continuing and Fission is optimistic that it will result in improved metal recoveries as the metallurgical process is optimised.

Drilling by Barra Resources during 2007 confirmed excellent geological and grade continuity between their new holes and previous exploration drilling. Barra Resource’s drilling also revealed the ore profile to be substantially thicker in various parts of the deposit due to the inability of previous drilling to penetrate deep enough into the ore profile.

Mt Thirsty Ni-Co-Mn Resource

Based on recent extensional drilling Independent mining and geological consulting firm Golder Associates Pty Ltd has estimated an updated JORC compliant Indicated and Inferred Resource of 29,030,000 tonnes grading 0.56% Nickel, 0.12% Cobalt and 0.88% Manganese (refer Table 1). The total Indicated and Inferred Resource contains approximately 162,000 tonnes of nickel, 35,000 tonnes of cobalt and 255,000 tonnes of manganese.

The above estimate is a significant increase compared to an earlier Indicated and Inferred Resource estimate of 20,970,000 tonnes grading 0.62% Nickel, 0.14% Cobalt and 1.01% Manganese. This earlier estimate contained approximately 130,000 tonnes of nickel, 29,000 tonnes of cobalt and 210,000 tonnes of manganese and was based on higher bulk density values.

The Mt Thirsty resource is confined to a single orebody at shallow depths extending over a strike length of 1,300 metres, between 6,447,600N and 6,446,300N sections, with an average width approaching 850 metres (Figure 2).

The updated resource estimate incorporates the Joint Venture’s recent southern and western extensional aircore drilling, including previously announced resource work and drilling programs undertaken over the past twelve months. The update also incorporates seven recently completed PQ diamond drill holes that were designed to further define the bulk density of the Mt Thirsty ore profile. The classification of this near surface resource is shown in Table 1 at varying cobalt cut-off grades. A summary of the estimation methodology utilised is described at the end of this section.

Extensional and Infill Drilling Programs

Between February-April 2008 a total of 100 aircore holes were drilled for 3,605m (MTAC222 to 321). The holes were drilled to expand the existing indicated and inferred resource further south along strike beyond the 6,500N section and out approximately 800m to the west (see Figure 2). The program was highly successful, identifying significant Ni-Co mineralisation west of the current resource. The newly discovered zones appear identical in nature to the existing Mt Thirsty deposit in terms of both mineralogy and overall thickness of the ore profile.

Concurrently 7 diamond holes totalling 337.5m (MTDD1 to 7) were drilled to attain more accurate metallurgical and geological information (particularly specific gravity data) to better estimate the resources at Mt Thirsty. A preliminary comparison of the assays returned for the PQ diamond drill holes with that of aircore holes they twinned suggests good repeatability between drill holes. The bulk density data extracted from the diamond drilling program has been incorporated into the new resource calculations. Further information on bulk density is included in the resource estimation summary.

Further Resource Potential

There is very good potential to expand the Resource further south along strike to the tenement boundary, a distance of some 600m, as mineralisation remains open beyond the 6,300N section. The overall dimensions of the Mt Thirsty orebody, including this latest upgrade, is approaching 1,300 metres in strike, 850 metres in width and averaging approximately 12 metres in thickness.

Fast Tracked Development Program

The joint venture has been working closely with consultancy firms over the past 12 months to fast track the Project Management Plan and Mining Proposal for the Mt Thirsty deposit.

Both flora and fauna surveys have been carried out over the entire project area including areas covered by miscellaneous licence applications. No endangered species of flora or rare forms of fauna were identified within the survey area.

Native title heritage surveys have also been completed with no areas of tribal significance identified within the project area at this stage. The company is about to commence negotiations with the overlying claimant group.

Resource Estimation Methodology

The Mt Thirsty resource is based on aircore and PQ core drill hole data provided to Golder Associates Pty Ltd on the 14 May 2008.

Mineralisation and geological interpretations were carried out by the Joint Venture parties, in conjunction with Golder Associates Pty Ltd, on 50 metre spaced sections in the eastern half of the deposit and on 100 metre spaced sections in the newly drilled western half. The cut-off grades used to define the mineralised envelopes are slightly lower than those used for the previous model. These were digitized and wireframed in 3D using Vulcan software. The major domain is a sub-horizontal high Ni-Co-Mn domain. A less continuous domain of high Ni with low Co and Mn occurs around this main domain.

Internal waste was also interpreted and wireframed. Domain codes were assigned to each wireframe. The wireframes were used to capture the 1 metre drill hole assays within each domain code. The domain codes were also assigned to a geological block model built using the wireframes.

The block model utilized a block size of 25 metres wide by 25 metres long by 5 metres high. Sub-blocks with dimensions 5 metres wide by 5 metre long by 1 metre high were also used when required.

Domain statistics were generated and the influence of high Co and Mn grades was restrained during estimation. Variography was conducted on the main domain and the defined search orientations were also applied to the other less continuous domains

The Mt Thirsty resource was estimated using the ordinary kriging method. The elements estimated were Ni, Co, Mn, Fe and Mg.

Bulk densities were based on data collected from the PQ diamond core holes. Average densities were applied on a domain basis. This resulted in an average bulk density of about 1.89 for the mineralized domains which is a significant reduction on that used for the previous model.

The resource estimate has been classified based on data quality, data density, geological continuity and confidence in the estimation.

Regional Exploration - Nickel Sulphide Gossans Identified

Several nickel sulphide gossans have been identified within the joint venture tenements 6 kilometres north-west of the Mt Thirsty Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese laterite resource.

A surface reconnaissance rock-chip sampling program searching for nickel sulphide mineralisation was recently carried out within the Mt Thirsty area along a prospective basal ultramafic-basalt contact. Here seven gossanous rock-chip samples believed to be nickel sulphide bearing were collected (see Figure 3). These were analysed for a suite of elements that aid in identifying surface expressions of nickel sulphide mineralisation. One of the key indicator elements is copper as it occurs as chalcopyrite within nickel sulphide ores. Six of the seven gossans sampled at Woodcutters returned high levels of both copper and nickel. The results are tabled below.

Table 2: Gossan Rock-Chip Assay Results.

Gossan 7 6450777 367499 413 861 1,284 39.7
  • n/a denotes not available

These initial results are very encouraging and clearly indicate the presence of oxidised nickel sulphide mineralisation at the surface. The location of the gossans is also interesting in that the oxidised nickel sulphides are not only present on the basal ultramafic-basalt contact but also in potential hanging wall positions. This type of complexity is commonly associated with the nickel sulphide deposits of Kambalda.

Analogies can be drawn from the Kambalda Region

The area was targeted primarily due to its complex aeromagnetic signatures which appear similar to basal lava channel embayment type structures observed at Kambalda. Basal lava channel embayments located on ultramafic-basalt contacts are the most preferred location for nickel sulphide accumulation in the Kambalda region. Several of these basal embayment type structures have been identified and were recently field evaluated.

The Woodcutters Prospect hosts one of the largest and most complex basal embayment type structures within the Mt Thirsty tenement package.

Previous Exploration

During the nickel boom days of the early 1970’s, Mid-East Minerals NL and Carpentaria Exploration Company Pty Ltd were both actively exploring for nickel sulphides in the area. The Woodcutters Prospect was an area of interest to them with costeaning, gossan sampling and limited percussion drilling conducted over a wide area during a three year period. A data review conducted recently has revealed the presence of other gossans within the Woodcutters prospect area that require follow-up.

Exploration to be Fast Tracked

Work to be carried in the near future by the Joint Venture will include the flying of detailed low level aeromagnetics and conducting ground EM surveys over areas of interest, including the Woodcutters prospect. Drill testing of the surface gossans at Woodcutters will be carried out once both the aeromagnetics and ground EM surveys have been completed and drill targets have been generated

URANIUM EXPLORATION

Prior to commencement of uranium exploration Fission purchased a down hole gamma logging unit and following set up and field testing had it calibrated at the PIRSA test site in Adelaide. The calibration enabled in situ equivalent uranium values (eU3O8) to be estimated from down hole gamma logging.

Wynbring Project (Fission 100% uranium rights)

The Wynbring project is located within EL 3306 on the Gawler Craton approximately 100km west northwest of Tarcoola in South Australia (Figures 4 and 5). It covers a Tertiary palaeochannel 25km to the northwest of Toro Energy Ltd’s Warrior uranium deposit and has a similar catchment area to that hosting Warrior.

The Wynbring palaeochannel was initially identified by uranium explorer PNC in the 1980’s but no further exploration took place until Fission commenced drilling in late 2007.

Fission carried out two air core drilling campaigns at Wynbring comprising 106 holes for a total of 5,397m. The second program followed up the strongly anomalous uranium results (up to 5m @ 215ppm) intersected at the Pundinya prospect in the first reconnaissance drilling program along the interpreted location of the Wynbring palaeochannel. The follow up drilling at the Pundinya prospect in-filled around previous holes generally on a 200 by 100m grid spacing but down to 100 by 50m in several places (Figure 6).

The equivalent uranium estimates from down hole radiometric gamma logging (refer Table 3) indicated the presence of coherent uranium mineralisation at the Pundinya prospect in unconsolidated fluviatile sands near the base of the Wynbring palaeochannel over a +1km length and up to 600m in width. A thicker higher grade core (up to 5.3m @ 405ppm eU3O8) is located in the central eastern portion of the prospect on a constricted bend in the palaeochannel (refer Figure 6). Lower grade (+100ppm eU3O8 over 1m) equivalent uranium values are open both up and down the channel.

The host sand unit is generally oxidised to a depth of 42 to 48m and the uranium mineralisation at the Pundinya prospect is mostly concentrated at or below the oxidised zone and below the water table. On the northern end of the Pundinya prospect and further to the north up the channel, the fluvial sands are totally oxidised to their base whereas to the south reduced sands are still present below the oxidised zone indicating that the uranium mineralisation is associated with a redox front. Uranium anomalism is generally persistent over a 3 to 6 metre thickness of the reduced sands at the base of the palaeochannel. Granitic basement clays are generally intersected at around 51m.

All potentially mineralised intervals based on the down hole gamma logging from both drilling programmes were sampled in 1m intervals and sent for uranium chemical analysis. +100ppm U3O8 assays are listed in Table 4.

Best results were 5m at 854ppm U3O8 in hole W79 from 48 to 53m, including 1m at 3200ppm (0.32% U3O8) from 52 to 53m. Equivalent uranium (eU3O8) results previously estimated from down hole radiometric logging of this hole were 5m at 450ppm from 47 to 52m. All +100ppm U3O8 assay results are plotted over the eU3O8 contour plan in Figure 5.

In general, within the higher grade core of the prospect U3O8 chemical assays exceed the eU3O8 values estimated from down hole gamma logging whereas upstream, in the mostly oxidised channel sands north of the main redox front, U3O8 assays are lower than the eU3O8 estimates.

The chemical assay results imply that uranium within the Pundinya prospect is in disequilibrium with its decay products, a common feature in uranium deposits of such a young age. This has reduced the northern extent of the Pundinya prospect however the potential for a small but high grade core on its eastern margin within the existing drilling grid and related to the redox front, has been increased.

Future Program

Further infill drilling is planned in 2008 and is designed to further test the higher grade portions of the Pundinya prospect followed by step out drilling to test the priority targets and the remainder of the palaeochannel downstream.

The interpreted Wynbring palaeochannel remains largely untested for approx. 9km downstream from the Pundinya prospect to the southern margin of the tenement boundary. Priority targets outside of the Pundinya prospect are an interpreted drainage confluence 4km to the south west and a possible abandoned channel meander to the east as shown in Figure 7.

+ Values for holes W006 to W060 estimated using a minimum downhole thickness of 0.2m, remainder estimated using minimum thickness of 0.5m. Data for hole W99 not yet available.

*Equivalent uranium values were estimated from down hole gamma logging assuming most of the gamma radiation measured is due to uranium and that uranium and its daughter products are in equilibrium. Chemical assays have confirmed that radiation from thorium bearing heavy minerals is not a significant factor in the basal fluviatile sands.

The preliminary eU 3 O 8 estimates above have been carried out by 3D Exploration Pty Ltd and are based on calibration of Fission’s down hole logging equipment by PIRSA geophysicists at their test pits in Adelaide.

All holes were vertical and logged through the drill rods. Holes W06 to W060 were logged at a vertical speed of approx. 5m/min with readings at 20cm intervals. All of the other holes were logged at 2m/min, with readings at 5cm intervals. Appropriate corrections have been applied for hole diameter and attenuation of the gamma count rate due to drill rods and ground water.

The latest chemical assays indicate that uranium in the palaeochannel sands may not be in equilibrium with its daughter products and hence the above eU 3 O 8 values are not necessarily a reliable indicator of actual uranium grades.

Garford Project (Fission 100% uranium rights)

The Garford, located on the Gawler Craton approx. 80km south east of Coober Pedy in South Australia (Figures 4 and 5), covers over 80km of Tertiary and older palaeochannels which have never been explored for uranium.

A 74 hole 3,450m air core drilling program was completed on very wide spaced lines over the Garford project to test interpreted Tertiary and older Mesozoic palaeochannels. Thick sequences of basal reduced fluvial sands, ideal hosts for uranium mineralisation, were intersected in most of the drill holes, however no significant radiometric anomalies were detected in the initial wide spaced reconnaissance drilling on traverses spaced more than 20km apart.

Fission is considering further infill drilling at Garford, based on this initial program and the results from chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during the recent drilling which may provide vectors towards possible mineralisation.

Frasers Uranium Project (Fission 100% uranium rights)

The Frasers Project, which adjoins Tasman Resources Parkinson Dam Project, is located approximately 75km west of Port Augusta in South Australia. The area is prospective for both Tertiary palaeochannel and Proterozoic unconformity related uranium mineralisation. A small portion of Tasman Resources’ tenements at Parkinson Dam (approximately 15 km[2] ) are excluded from Fission’s uranium exploration rights.

Fission identified a number of potential Tertiary palaeochannel uranium targets in the west of the Parkinson Dam Project at the Frasers prospect. The potential source of the uranium is extensive, outcropping relatively uranium-rich Gawler Range Volcanics, and the inferred palaeochannels are part of a larger system recently documented by Primary Industries and Resources SA (PIRSA).

Three of the six holes drilled recently over a large area (30 km[2] ) at Frasers confirmed the presence of thin Tertiary palaeochannel sediments up to 18m thick overlying the Gawler Range Volcanics. The sediments here are totally oxidised and downhole gamma logging did not locate any significant uranium anomalism. It is likely however, that the palaeochannels will be better developed further downstream in the north of Fission’s exploration licence and may contain reduced sediments prospective for roll front uranium mineralisation.

Western Australian Projects (Fission 100%)

Field reconnaissance was carried out over exploration licences in the Lake Barlee and Lake Noondie areas during the quarter. None of the radiometric anomalies field checked were found to be associated with calcrete and their uranium potential has been downgraded. These projects are now regarded as low priority in view of the recent Mt Thirsty acquisition.

The interpretations and conclusions reached in this report are based on current geological theory and the best evidence available to the authors at the time of writing. It is the nature of all scientific conclusions that they are founded on an assessment of probabilities and, however high these probabilities might be, they make no claim for complete certainty. Any economic decisions that might be taken on the basis of interpretations or conclusions contained in this report will therefore carry an element of risk.

The information in this announcement, insofar as it relates to Mineral Exploration activities, is based on information compiled by Guy T LePage who is a member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Michael J. Glasson, who is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, both of whom have more than five years experience in the field of activity being reported on. Mr LePage is a Director of the Company and Mr Glasson is a consultant. Mr LePage and Mr Glasson have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Le Page, and Mr Glasson consent to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.

It should not be assumed that the reported Exploration Results will result, with further exploration, in the definition of a Mineral Resource.

The information in this report which relates to the Mt Thirsty Mineral Resource is based on information compiled by Alan Miller, a full time employee of Golder Associates Pty Ltd and who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Alan Miller has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the January 2005 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves prepared by the Joint Ore Resources Committee, the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Mineral Council of Australia.” Alan Miller consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors

The Company’s constitution provides that the number of directors shall not be less than three and not more than ten. There is no requirement for any share holding qualification.

As and if the Company’s activities increase in size, nature and scope the size of the board will be reviewed periodically, and as circumstances demand.

The membership of the board, its activities and composition, is subject to periodic review. The criteria for determining the identification and appointment of a suitable candidate for the board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement, compatibility with other board members, credibility within the Company’s scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to board’s duties and physical ability to undertake board’s duties and responsibilities.

Directors are initially appointed by the full board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the Company’s constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her last appointment. Subject to the requirements of the Corporation Act 2001, the board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into, may revoke the appointment.

The board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate or special committees at this time. The board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the full scope of the Company’s activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards.

Role of the Board

The board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value.

To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for oversight of management and the overall corporate governance statement of the Company including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.

Appointments to Other Boards

Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards.

Independent Professional Advice

The board has determined that individual directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as directors, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. With the exception of expenses for legal advice in relation to director’s rights and duties, the engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably.

Continuous Review of Corporate Governance

Directors consider, on an ongoing basis, how management information is presented to them and whether such information is sufficient to enable them to discharge their duties as directors of the Company. Such information must be sufficient to enable the directors to determine appropriate operating and financial strategies for time to time in light of changing circumstances and economic conditions. The directors recognise that mineral exploration is an inherently risky business and that operational strategies adopted should, notwithstanding, be directed towards improving or maintaining the net worth of the Company.

ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance

The board has reviewed its current practices in light of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Guidelines with a view to making amendments where applicable after considering the Company’s size and the resources it has available.

As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the board and the implementation of any additional formal corporate governance committees will be given further consideration.

The following table sets out the Company’s present position with regard to adoption of these Principles.

ASX Code: FIS

ASX Principle ASX Principle Reference/comment
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
1.1 Formalise and disclose the functions
reserved to the board and those delegated
to management.
The Company has not adopted this recommendation to
formalise and disclose the functions reserved to the board and
those delegated to management.
The Company considers the expense of sourcing additional
directors at this stage of its development is unwarranted. The
roles and functions within the Company must remain flexible in
order for it to best function within its level of available resources.
Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
2.1 A majority of board members should be
independent directors
Due to the Company’s size, nature and extent of operations, the
company has departed from this principle
2.2 The chairperson should be an independent
director
Due to the Company’s size, nature and extent of operations, the
company has departed from this principle
2.3 The roles of chairperson and chief
executive officer should not be exercised
by the same individual
The Company does not have a Chief Executive Officer.
2.4 The board should establish a nomination
committee
The board has no formal nomination committee.
Acting in its ordinary capacity from time to time as
required, the board carries out the process of determining the
need for, screening and appointing new directors.
In view of the size and resources available to the Company, it is
not considered that a separate nomination committee would add
any substance to this process.
2.5 Provide the information indicated in Guide
to reporting on Principle 2
The skills and experience of directors are set out in the
Company’s Annual Report and on its website.

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making

3.1 Establish a code of conduct to guide the
directors, the chief executive officer (or
equivalent), the chief financial officer (or
equivalent) and other key executives as to
3.1.1
the practices necessary to
maintain confidence in the Company’s
integrity
3.1.2
the responsibility and
accountability of individuals reporting or
investigating reports of unethical practices.
The Company has formulated a Code of Conduct which can be
viewed on the Company’s website.
3.2 Disclose the policy concerning trading in
Company securities by directors, officers
and employees
The Board has adopted a policy and procedure on dealing in the
Company's securities by directors, officers and employees
which prohibits dealing in the Company's securities when those
persons possess inside information. It also requires the
Company Secretary to be notified when trading of securities in
the Company occurs.
3.3 Provide the information indicated in Guide
to reporting on Principle 3
The Code of Conduct can be viewed on the Company’s website.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

4.1 Require the chief executive officer (or
equivalent) and the chief financial officer
(or equivalent) to state in writing to the
board that the Company’s financial reports
present a true and fair view, in all material
respects, of the Company’s financial
condition and operational results and are in
accordance with relevant accounting
standards
The Company requires the chief financial officer to complete to
make this statement. The company does not have a chief
executive officer or equivalent
4.2 The board should establish an audit
committee
Due to the Company’s size, nature and extent of operations, the
company has departed from this principle.
4.3 Structure the audit committee so that it
consists of:
• Only non-executive directors
• A majority of independent directors
• An independent chairperson who is not
the chairperson of the board
• At least three members
The Board believes that, within the number of Directors on the
Board, the Board itself is the appropriate forum to deal with this
function.
4.4 The audit committee should have a formal
charter
See 4.2
4.5 Provide the information indicated in Guide
to Reporting on Principle 4
See 4.2

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure

5.1 Establish written policies and procedure
designed to ensure compliance with ASX
Listing Rule disclosure requirements and to
ensure accountability at a senior
management level for that compliance
The company has instigated internal procedures designed to
provide reasonable assurance as to the effectiveness and
efficiency of operations, the reliability of financial reporting and
compliance with relevant laws and regulations. The board is
acutely aware of the continuous disclosure regime and there are
strong informal systems in place to ensure compliance,
underpinned by experience.
5.2 Provide the information indicated in Guide
to Reporting on Principle 5
The board receives monthly reports on the status of the
Company’s activities and any new or proposed activities.
Disclosure is reviewed as a routine agenda item at each board
meeting
Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
6.1 Design and disclose a communications
strategy to promote effective
communication with shareholders and
encourage effective participation at general
meetings
In line with adherence to continuous disclosure requirements of
ASX all shareholders are kept informed of major developments
affecting the Company. This disclosure is through regular
shareholder communications including the Annual Report,
Quarterly Reports, the Company website and the distributions of
specific releases covering major transactions or events.
6.2 Request the external auditor to attend the
annual general meeting and be available to
answer shareholder questions about the
audit and the preparation and content of
the auditor’s report
The Company’s auditors attend the annual general meeting.

Principle 7:Recognise and mange risk

7.1 The board or appropriate board committee
should establish policies on risk oversight
and management
While the Company does not have formalised policies on risk
management the board recognises its responsibility for identifying
areas of significant business risk and for ensuring that
arrangements are in place for adequately managing these risks.
This issue is regularly reviewed at board meetings and risk
management culture is encouraged amongst employees and
contractors.
7.2 The chief executive officer (or equivalent)
and the chief financial officer (or
equivalent) should state to the board in
writing that:
7.2.1 the statement given in accordance
with best practise recommendation 4.1 (the
integrity of financial statements) is founded
on a sound system of risk management
and internal compliance and control which
implements the policies adopted by the
Board
7.2.2 the Company’s risk management and
internal compliance and control system is
operating efficiently and effectively in all
material respects
The Company requires the chief financial officer to complete to
make this statement. The company does not have a chief
executive officer or equivalent.
7.3 Provide information indicated in Guide to
Reporting on Principle 7
See 7.1
Principle 8 Encourage enhanced performance
8.1 Disclose the process for performance
evaluation of the board, its committees and
individual directors, and key executives
The Company does not consider it appropriate to have sub-
committee of the board to consider remuneration matters.
Acting in its ordinary capacity, the board from time to time carries
out the process of considering and determining performance
issues including the identification of matters that may have a
material effect on the price of the Company’s securities.
Whenever relevant, any such matters are reported to the ASX.
Principle 9: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
9.1 Provide disclosure in relation to the
Company’s remuneration policies to enable
investors to understand (i) the costs and
benefits of those policies and (ii) the link
between remuneration paid to directors
and key executives and corporate
performance
The Company discloses remuneration-related information in its
Annual Report to shareholders in accordance with the
Corporation Act 2001.
The Company’s Constitution allows for a maximum amount per
annum to be paid to non-executive directors, to be allocated at
the discretion of the directors. Any changed to the annual

Mr Raymond F Buscall. Mr Buscall has worked for Fission Energy Limited since incorporation on 30 March 2006 and has also worked for the former parent entity, Tasman Resources NL, for the past 16 years performing financial management roles of the business. Mr Buscall was appointed company secretary on 30 March 2006.

Principal Activities

The principal activity of the company during the financial year ended 30th June 2008 was mineral exploration for uranium.

Operating Results

The loss of the company after providing for income tax amounted to $251,200.

Dividends Paid or Recommended

No dividends were paid or declared for payment during the year.

Review of Mineral Exploration Operations

The Company has exploration licences and applications located in South Australia and Western Australia.

The Company is targeting uranium in a variety of geological settings for which the company’s tenements are considered prospective.

MT THIRSTY Ni-Co-Mn PROJECT (Fission 50%)

On 18[th] April 2008, Fission Energy Ltd signed a Sale and Purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Meteore Metals Limited (ACN 097 759 325) which is the manager of a 50:50 Joint Venture with Barra Resources Limited (ASX:BAR) on the Mt Thirsty Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese Project. Mt Thirsty is situated approximately 20km north northwest of Norseman in Western Australia (Figure 1).

Total consideration for the acquisition of Meteore Metals was A$8.0 million of which approximately A$6.1 million was paid in cash and the balance in fully paid ordinary shares in Fission. The consideration was payable in installments and subject to due diligence by Fission, raising a minimum of A$4.0 million and shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company.

Fission formally acquired the 100% interest in Meteore Metals Limited following a capital raising and approval given at a General Meeting convened on 1st July 2008.

URANIUM EXPLORATION

Prior to commencement of uranium exploration Fission purchased a down hole gamma logging unit and following set up and field testing had it calibrated at the PIRSA test site in Adelaide. The calibration enabled in situ equivalent uranium values (eU3O8) to be estimated from down hole gamma logging.

Wynbring Project (Fission 100% uranium rights)

The Wynbring project is located within EL 3306 on the Gawler Craton approximately 100km west northwest of Tarcoola in South Australia (Figures 4 and 5). It covers a Tertiary palaeochannel 25km to the northwest of Toro Energy Ltd’s Warrior uranium deposit and has a similar catchment area to that hosting Warrior.

The Wynbring palaeochannel was initially identified by uranium explorer PNC in the 1980’s but no further exploration took place until Fission commenced drilling in late 2007.

ASX Code: FIS

Page 20 of 48

Fission Energy Ltd Annual Report for Year Ending June 2008

==> picture [112 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

Fission carried out two air core drilling campaigns at Wynbring comprising 106 holes for a total of 5,397m. The second program was designed to follow up the strongly anomalous uranium results (up to 5m @ 215ppm) intersected at the Pundinya prospect in the first reconnaissance drilling program along the interpreted location of the Wynbring palaeochannel. The follow up drilling at the Pundinya prospect in-filled around previous holes generally on a 200 by 100m grid spacing but down to 100 by 50m in several places (Figure 6). Best results were 5m @ 854ppm, including 1m at 3200ppm.

Garford Project (Fission 100% uranium rights)

The Garford, located on the Gawler Craton approx. 80km south east of Coober Pedy in South Australia (Figures 4 and 5), covers over 80km of Tertiary and older palaeochannels which have never been explored for uranium.

A 74 hole 3,450m air core drilling program was completed on very wide spaced lines over the Garford project to test interpreted Tertiary and older Mesozoic palaeochannels. Thick sequences of basal reduced fluvial sands, ideal hosts for uranium mineralisation, were intersected in most of the drill holes, however no significant radiometric anomalies were detected in the initial wide spaced reconnaissance drilling on traverses spaced more than 20km apart.

Fission is considering further infill drilling at Garford, based on this initial program and the results from chemical analysis of ground water samples collected during the recent drilling which may provide vectors towards possible mineralisation.

Frasers Uranium Project (Fission 100% uranium rights)

The Frasers Project, which adjoins Tasman Resources Parkinson Dam Project, is located approximately 75km west of Port Augusta in South Australia.

Three of the six holes drilled recently over a large area (30 km[2] ) at Frasers confirmed the presence of thin Tertiary palaeochannel sediments up to 18m thick overlying the Gawler Range Volcanics. The sediments here are totally oxidised and downhole gamma logging did not locate any significant uranium anomalism.

Western Australian Projects (Fission 100%)

Field reconnaissance was carried out over exploration licences in the Lake Barlee and Lake Noondie areas during the quarter. None of the radiometric anomalies field checked were found to be associated with calcrete and their uranium potential has been downgraded. These projects are now regarded as low priority in view of the recent Mt Thirsty acquisition.

Financial position

The net assets of the company have increased by $1,200,372 from 30 June 2007 to $6,988,378 in 2008. This increase has largely resulted from the issue of ordinary shares from the placement in June 2008

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

In the opinion of the directors, other than disclosed elsewhere in this report, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the company that occurred during the period of review.

After Balance Date Events

On 4 July 2008 Fission successfully acquired 100% of the issued capital of Meteore Metals Limited (“Meteore”), the manager of a 50:50 Joint Venture with Barra Resources Limited (ASX:BAR) on the Mt Thirsty Nickel-Cobalt- Manganese Project (“Mt Thirsty”). The first payment was made on 4 July of approximately A$2.9 million, with two further payments of A$1.44 million due 29 August 2008 and A$1.44 million due 15 December 2008. Total consideration for the acquisition of Meteore is $8.0 million, of which approximately A$6.1 million is payable in cash and the balance in fully paid ordinary shares.

On 18 July 2008 Fission issued 29,520,000 fully paid ordinary shares in relation to the acquisition of Meteore.

On 25 July 2008 Fission issued 18.521.250 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.16 to fund the acquisition of Meteore.

Except for the above events, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the company in future financial years.

Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies

The Company proposes to continue with its exploration program as detailed in the Review of Operations.

Environmental Issues

The Company is the subject of environmental regulation with respect to mining exploration and will comply fully with all requirements with respect to rehabilitation of exploration sites.

Remuneration Report

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Fission Energy Ltd, and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Fission Energy Ltd has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the company’s financial results. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the company is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives,

  • was developed and approved by the board based on industry reports.

  • All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience),

  • superannuation, fringe benefits and options.

The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

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

All directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution where required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the company and expensed. Any shares which may be issued to executives would be valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. No shares or options were issued to directors or executives during the year ended 30 June 2008.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities.

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Details of Remuneration for Year Ended 30 June 2008

The remuneration for each director and each of the executive officers of the company during the year was as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers Fission Energy Ltd as an individual entity. Fission Energy Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of Fission Energy Ltd complies with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Accounting Policies

a. Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

b. Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset

Depreciation Rate

Plant and equipment 15.00–50.00%

Assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.

c. Exploration and Development Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

d. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

e. Equity-settled compensation

The company operates a number of share-based compensation plans. These include both a share option arrangement and an employee share scheme. The bonus element over the exercise price of the employee services rendered in exchange for the grant of shares and options is recognised as an expense in the income statement. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares of the options granted.

f. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises current deposits with banks.

g. Revenue

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2008

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • h. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

  • Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

  • i. Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

j. New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the Company in the period of initial application. They are available for early adoption at 30 June 2008, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report.

  • Revised AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements introduces as a financial statement the

  • ‘statement of comprehensive income’. The revised standard does not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure of transactions or events that are required by other accounting standards. The revised AASB 101 will become mandatory for the Company’s 30 June 2010 financial statements. The company has not yet determined the potential effect of the revised standard on the Company’s disclosures.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Key Estimates — Impairment

The company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the company that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 30 September 2008 by the board of directors.

NOTE 23: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  • a. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

  • The main risks the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

  • i. Interest Rate Risk

    • Interest rate risk is managed by investing cash with major institutions in both cash on deposit and term deposit accounts. At 30 June 2008, the effect on the loss and equity as a result of a 2% increase in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be a decrease in loss by $120,000 (2007:$1,000) and an increase in equity by $120,000 (2007:$1,000). The effect on the loss and equity as a result of a 2% decrease in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be a increase in loss by $120,000 (2007:$1,000) and an decrease in equity by $120,000 (2007:$1,000).
  • ii. Liquidity Risk

    • The company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate funding is maintained. The company’s operations require it to raise capital on an on-going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets. If the company does not raise capital in the short term, it can continue as a going concern by reducing planned but not committed exploration expenditure until funding is available and/or entering into joint venture arrangements where exploration is funded by the joint venture partner.
  • iii. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the company. The company has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the company.

b. Financial Instruments

  • i. Net Fair Values

The aggregate net fair values of the Financial assets and financial liabilities, at the balance date, are approximated by their carrying value.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

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 and fair presentation of the financial report 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we complied with applicable independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
