REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

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

The Mt Thirsty Project covering an area of 45km[2] is located 20km north-northwest of Norseman. Fission through its wholly owned subsidiary Meteore Metals Limited owns 50% of the project in joint venture with Barra Resources Limited. The Mt Thirsty Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese oxide deposit has the potential to emerge as a significant world cobalt supplier. Metallurgical test work indicates that high recoveries of cobalt, nickel and manganese can be achieved through low temperature atmospheric leaching of oxide ore. The deposit has formed near the surface in weathered ultramafic rocks and is amenable to open pit mining.

Mt Thirsty has a current JORC Indicated Resource of 14.8 million tonnes at 0.14% Cobalt, 0.59% Nickel and 0.99% Manganese and a JORC Inferred Resource of 14.2 million tonnes at 0.11% Cobalt, 0.52% Nickel and 0.77% Manganese over an apparent strike of 1.3 kilometres and a width of around 800 metres.

As well as the oxide resource the Mt Thirsty Project is considered to have excellent potential for the discovery of nickel sulphide deposits as a thick accumulation of ultramafic komatiites hosting low grade nickel sulphide mineralisation in places has already been identified.

Figure 1: Mt Thirsty Project Location and Regional Geology

Mt Thirsty Co–Ni-Mn Oxide Deposit

The Mt Thirsty deposit 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 testwork is continuing and the Joint Venturers are optimistic that it will result in improved metal recoveries as the metallurgical process is optimised. Following are the highlights from work carried out to date:

  • recoveries of up to 99% cobalt, 98% manganese and 75% nickel have been achieved during atmospheric leach laboratory test-work (Figure 2).

  • Cobalt, nickel and manganese leach rapidly in 8-10 hours at normal atmospheric pressure and moderate temperatures (<100oC).

  • Autoclaves are not required for the leaching process.

  • Potential metal recoveries for the resource approach 33,000 tonnes of cobalt, 133,000 tonnes of nickel and 247,000 tonnes of manganese.

  • A Conceptual Plant flow design for metal extraction has been completed.

  • The proposed flowsheet is relatively simple and robust with no new technology required.

  • Production profile targeting 2 million tonnes per annum.

  • Ore is soft and totally oxidised, and no drilling or blasting will be required.

  • Ore body is shallow and amenable to low cost, conventional open pit mining.

Resource Drilling

ASX Code: FIS

Page 5 of 48

Fission Energy Ltd Annual Report for Year Ending June 2009

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

Step out air core drilling at 80m intervals along 4 lines spaced 100m apart (33 holes for 1,194m, holes MTAC 322 to 351 & MTAC 430 to 432) to the south of the current Indicated and Inferred Resource outlines was completed. Significant cobalt intervals (based on a 0.06% cut off) with associated nickel and manganese values are listed in Table 1. Holes were drilled vertically and sampled in 1m intervals; locations are shown in Figure 3.

The assay results indicate that the cobalt - nickel - manganese oxide mineralisation continues southwards from the existing resource but is lower grade towards the tenement boundary. The new results will allow estimation of an additional Inferred Resource within the 500m strike length to the southern tenement boundary.

A further 12 holes for 676m (holes MTAC 352 to 363) were mostly drilled in places within the existing Indicated and Inferred Resources outlines to better define selected areas of exceptional thickness and often higher grade which appear to be related to deeper weathering (results in Table 1).

Feasibility Study

Consultants from Independent Metallurgical Operations Pty Ltd (IMO) have been engaged to review the previous metallurgical test work and flow sheet development. IMO have also commenced further detailed test work and evaluation, and a program to facilitate timely preparation of a feasibility study.

IMO’s consultants were specifically selected by the joint venturers for their particular experience and expertise in the processing of nickel – cobalt oxide deposits as well as broader commercial aspects of these businesses.

Nickel Sulphide Exploration

Gossan Rock-Chip Sampling

A surface reconnaissance program searching for nickel sulphide mineralisation adjacent to the Mt Thirsty oxide resource was undertaken in late 2008 and several gossanous outcrops potentially representing possible disseminated sulphide mineralisation were located. Rock chip sample assay results from these gossans returned strongly anomalous nickel values up to 7500ppm (refer Table 2). The gossans could be the surface expression of nickel sulphide mineralisation associated with an ultramafic contact along the eastern margin of the Mt Thirsty oxide deposit.

EM Survey

A surface SQUID electromagnetic (EM) survey was completed in June 2009 to follow-up the gossanous rock-chip samples referred to above. A large EM anomaly (Figure 3) approximately 600m in length was delineated by the survey.

An EM survey was also carried out over the Woodcutters prospect 6km to the northwest of the Mt Thirsty deposit where potential nickel gossans have also been located within a komatiitic sequence. Two conductors were located in this area and one, associated with a surface gossan which has returned nickel assays up to 0.4%.

Diamond Drill Testing

Diamond hole MTDD008 was initially drilled to test the strong EM conductor already described and intersected a 16 metre thick hanging wall zone of stringer and heavily disseminated sulphides, at a down hole depth of 308 metres, coincident with the EM conductor’s modelled depth of 320 metres. The zone of sulphide mineralisation contains visible sulphide minerals including pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite (nickel-iron sulphide), pyrite and magnetite.

MTDD008, collared at 372355E and 6447255N (AGD84 Zone 51) was initially orientated at 75o to the west. Based on the current geological interpretation down hole intercepts are believed to be close to true width. The hole was drilled to 1,070m, the depth capacity of the drill rig, due to the continuing presence of sulphides. The aim was to intersect the lower basal footwall contact where the best concentration of nickel might be expected (eg. as at Kambalda).

A very thick sequence of originally olivine-rich, cumulate - textured ultramafics comprising at least three separate units was intersected. These rocks contain variable amounts of disseminated, vein and stringer-style sulphide mineralisation. The lowermost ultramafic unit appears to be at least 770m thick, however the footwall contact was not reached in the drill hole due to likely thickening of the unit.

A number of zones of sulphide mineralisation were intersected down the hole, however the more attractive were intersected from 280m and 351m. These two zones assayed 0.30% and 0.24% Ni respectively over 9.45m and 6m down hole, which are believed to be close to true widths (refer Figure 4). Included within the lower zone is thin stringer mineralisation which assayed 0.9% Ni over 0.14m from 356.56m to 356.70m.

It is interpreted that these two zones may represent hanging wall - style mineralisation above the main ultramafic unit (+770m thick at Mt Thirsty), comparable to hanging wall zones in the Kambalda district. These sub-grade intersections could represent low grade lateral extremities of significant higher grade mineralisation, and are also positive indicators of the potential of the sequence to host high grade nickel sulphides at the lower (basal) footwall contact.

A thin massive sulphide stringer, which contained visible nickel sulphides near the lower contact of a Proterozoic–age dyke assayed 1.2% Ni, 0.6% Cu and 0.15% Co over 6cm from 759.25m. These sulphides may have been dragged upwards from a more significant sulphide accumulation at depth on the basal contact during later emplacement of the dyke. Ultramafic xenoliths observed in the dyke also support the postulated origin of the sulphides. The higher associated Cu and Co values in this stringer imply a different nature to the other sulphide mineralisation intersected in the hole.

Although economic nickel sulphide mineralisation has not yet been intersected, the Joint Venturers’ are very encouraged by the results to date from the drilling of MTDD008. In particular:

  • Nickel sulphides and low grade Ni mineralisation have been identified throughout the sequence with the better zones intersected to date occurring in hanging wall positions, with potentially the most prospective basal contact zone remaining untested.

  • Discovery of a very thick (+770m thick), ultramafic unit which is most probably the basal unit sitting on the footwall contact. Thick basal ultramafic units are important ingredients in most major nickel sulphide deposits in WA.

  • Nickel sulphides in a Proterozoic–age dyke which may have been carried up from a mineralised basal footwall contact at depth.

Potential exists for any mineralised basal footwall contact zone to extend up dip from the area of MTDD008 to much shallower depths over a prospective surface strike length of 1.8km within the joint venture tenement. The approximate position of this contact zone at surface (Figure 5) has been identified from regional geological and geophysical data, and this contact will be an important focus for the Joint Venturers’ nickel sulphide exploration activity in the near future.

Follow up Program

The program will focus on following-up nickel sulphide occurrences and recent down hole EM surveying of drill hole MTDD008 in an attempt to locate more significant nickel sulphide accumulations on the footwall contact. Shallower holes will be drilled up dip of MTDD008 to locate the footwall contact together with potential nickel sulphides (Figure 4). Deepening of hole MTDD008 will be undertaken based on the outcome of the shallower drilling.

One diamond hole (WCDD001) has recently been completed at the Woodcutters prospect 6km further to the WNW to test an EM target, and 200m of cumulate - textured ultramafics were intersected. A downhole EM survey was conducted and a strong off-hole conductor was detected. Several gossanous rock-chip samples representing possible massive to disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation associated with a basalt-ultramafic contact have also been identified at Woodcutters. The large EM anomaly may well be indicating the presence of primary nickel sulphides at depth along strike from WCDD001. Several diamond holes have been designed to test the off-hole EM anomaly to a depth of about 350 metres.

A further 3.8km of potential footwall contact has been identified in other Joint Venture tenements to the north and this will be evaluated in due course.

New Applications

Five new applications totalling 16.4 km2, covering portions of the ultramafic sequence 2km to 5km to the north of the Mt Thirsty oxide deposit were applied for during the year.

URANIUM EXPLORATION (SOUTH AUSTRALIA)

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 (Figure 6). It covers a Tertiary palaeochannel 25km to the northwest of the Warrior uranium deposit. Exploration by Fission located palaeochannel hosted uranium mineralisation at the Pundinya prospect in 2007.

A 95 hole 4,829m follow up air core drilling programme was completed involving both close spaced infill drilling at the Pundinya prospect and broad spaced step out drilling to more accurately define the continuation of the Wynbring palaeochannel southwards from the Pundinya prospect for approx. 9km to the tenement boundary (Figure 7).

Infill drilling was carried out on a 50 by 50m spacing around higher grade intersections at the Pundinya prospect where earlier drilling had returned a best intersection of 5m at 854ppm U3O8, including 1m at 3200ppm (0.32% U3O8). Best assay results from 24 recent infill holes were 2m at 648ppm U3O8 in hole W123 from 50 to 52m, 11m at 374ppm from 41 to 52m in hole W126 and 7m at 368ppm from 47 to 54m in hole W120 (refer Table 3 and Figure 8). The latest results confirm the continuity of uranium mineralisation over the 400 by 250m area subjected to infill drilling. The uranium thickness - grade distribution (Figure 9) shows the higher-grade core developed on the eastern side of the channel adjacent to the redox boundary.

Step out drilling to the south, mostly on a broad 800m by 400m grid has defined the continuation of the Wynbring palaeochannel sands and the entry of a major tributary from the west (Figure 7). Anomalous downhole radiometrics and uranium assays were obtained in the fluvial channel sands for a further 3km to the south of the Pundinya prospect in the eastern tributary (Figure 7). The highest assays returned were 2m at 185ppm U3O8 in hole W143 from 39 to 41m and 9m at 166ppm in hole W167 from 37 to 46m. The strongly anomalous uranium assays which are mostly at and immediately below the weathering interface between oxidised and reduced channel sands may represent uranium leakage down-channel from the Pundinya prospect.

Hole W151 (Figure 10), drilled 2.5km SW of the Pundinya prospect, intersected totally oxidised channel sands in contrast to all of the other widely spaced holes drilled in this area which intersected reduced channel sands. Therefore, there is likely to be a redox front in the vicinity of W151 with the potential to host higher grade uranium mineralisation. Hole W167 referred to above is located a further 600m to the SE down-channel from W151. This area is a priority in-fill drilling target.

Parkinson Dam Project (Fission 100% uranium rights, Mega Hindmarsh earning 51%)

Fission has a joint venture with Mega - Hindmarsh Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mega Uranium Ltd of Canada to explore the Parkinson Dam Project (ELs 3307 & 3739) for uranium. The Parkinson Dam tenements, located 60 km west of Port Augusta in South Australia are held by Tasman Resources Ltd (ASX: TAS), and Fission Energy has the uranium rights. Tasman is currently exploring these tenements for epithermal gold mineralisation.

The area is considered prospective for unconformity - associated uranium deposits close to the contact between the Mesoproterozoic Corunna Conglomerate and the underlying Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks. Outcropping uraninite (uranium oxide) mineralisation discovered in EL 3307 by an earlier explorer was reported by Tasman in 2006.

Mega-Hindmarsh is currently interpreting the results of a recent 400m spaced airborne EM survey and a HyVista survey, which shows some interesting alteration anomalies.

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 Michael J. Glasson and Robert N Smith, who are members of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, both of whom have more than five years experience in the field of activity being reported on. Mr Glasson and Mr Smith are consultants. Mr Glasson and Mr Smith 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 Glasson and Mr Smith 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.

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.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

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:

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

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.

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 and other market based pricing.

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 2009

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 2009

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 the consolidated group of Fission Energy Ltd and controlled entities, and Fission Energy Ltd as an individual parent entity. Fission Energy Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of Fission Energy Limited and controlled entities, and Fission Energy Limited as an individual parent entity complies with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the group 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.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity Fission Energy Ltd has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 14 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a June financial year-end.

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

Minority equity interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial report.

b. Interests in Joint Ventures

The consolidated group’s interests in joint venture entities are brought to account using the proportionate consolidation method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. Details of the consolidated group’s interests are shown at Note 15.

c. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

c. Income Tax Continued

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.

d. 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.

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.

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.

e. Exploration and Evaluation 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. 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.

f. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • f. Impairment of Assets Continued

  • 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.

  • g. Cash and cash equivalents

  • Cash comprises current deposits with banks.

  • h. Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

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

i. 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.

j. Financial Instruments

Recognition

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Availablefor-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

k. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

l. Comparative Figures

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • m. 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.

  • 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.

  • n. 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 2009, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report.

  • Revised AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements introduces 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.

  • AASB 8: Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8. AASB 8 replaces AASB 114 and requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Board for the purpose of decision making. While the impact of this statement cannot be assessed at this stage, there is potential for more segments to be identified. Given the lower economic levels at which segments may be defined, and the fact that cash generating units cannot be bigger than operating segments. Management does not presently believe impairment will result however.

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 — Exploration and Evaluation

The Group’s policy for exploration and evaluation is discussed in Note 1(e). The application of this policy requires management to make certain assumptions as to future events and circumstances. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. At the date of this report the Group has sufficient reason to believe:

  • rights to explore in specific areas, once expired, will be renewed;

  • substantive expenditure on further exploration and evaluation in specific areas has been budgeted;

  • exploration in specific areas is ongoing and the entity has not decided to discontinue such activities; and

  • no specific sufficient data exists that indicates that the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered.

The financial report was authorised for issue on 24 September 2009 by the board of directors.

These responses include the management of expenditure and debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share and option issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Company since the prior year.

b. Exploration Expenditure Commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the company is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the requirements specified by various State governments. Due to the nature of the company’s operations in exploring and evaluating areas of interest, it is very difficult to forecast the nature and amount of future expenditure. It is anticipated that expenditure commitments for the twelve months will be tenement rentals of $25,000 (2008: $15,000) and exploration expenditure of $95,000 (2008:$NIL). JV parties may effectively meet a significant portion of the commitment costs. These obligations can also be reduced by selective relinquishment of exploration tenure or application for expenditure exemptions.

Pursuant to the agreement made between the Company and Tasman Resources Ltd (“Tasman”) dated 2 April 2007, the Company was assigned all the rights to all uranium mineralisation which may be discovered in a number of tenements held by Tasman. The Company has no exploration commitments for these tenements however is committed to contribute towards fees, rents, rates and other monies payable under the Mining Act 1978 (SA) by Tasman Resources Ltd.

NOTE 21: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

The Directors are not aware of any contingent assets or contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2009.

NOTE 22: EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

On 10 September 2009 6,250,000 ordinary shares and 3,125,000 options expiring 28 February 2011 were issued under S708 of the Corporations Act, raising $1,000,000 before costs.

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.

NOTE 23: SEGMENT REPORTING

The company operates predominately in one geographical segment and one business segment, being mineral exploration and development in Western Australia and South Australia.

NOTE 27: 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 2009, 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 $40,000 (2008:$120,000) and an increase in equity by $40,000 (2008:$120,000). 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 $40,000 (2008:$120,000) and an decrease in equity by $40,000 (2008:$120,000).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

NOTE 27: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONTINUED

a. Financial Risk Exposures and Management

  • 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.

  • ii. Interest Rate Risk

The company’s exposure to interest rate risk and effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:
