REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

==> picture [179 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

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

The Mt Thirsty Cobalt –Nickel -Manganese oxide project covering an area of 58km[2] is located 20km north-northwest of Norseman in the southern goldfields of Western Australia, a well endowed nickel terrain (see Figure 1). Fission through its wholly owned subsidiary Meteore Metals Limited owns 50% of the project in joint venture with Barra Resources Limited. The Mt Thirsty deposit has the potential to emerge as a significant world cobalt supplier. Metallurgical testwork indicates that high recoveries of cobalt, nickel and manganese can be achieved through low temperature atmospheric leaching.

Mt Thirsty has a JORC compliant Indicated Resource of 16.6 million tonnes at 0.14% Cobalt, 0.60% Nickel and 0.98% Manganese and a JORC compliant Inferred Resource of 15.3 million tonnes at 0.11% Cobalt, 0.51% Nickel and 0.73% Manganese over a length of 1.6 kilometres and a width of up to 850 metres.

As well as the Cobalt-Nickel–Manganese oxide resource, the Mt Thirsty joint venture tenements have potential for nickel sulphide mineralisation at greater depth within the same ultramafic sequence which hosts the near surface oxide deposit. A nickel sulphide discovery was made by the joint venture in 2010.

Mt Thirsty Ni –Co- Mn Oxide Deposit

Metallurgical Testwork

Perth consultants RMDSTEM were commissioned to undertake a preliminary evaluation of the viability of leaching Mt Thirsty oxide ore using sodium metabisulphite. The testwork was carried out on available drill chip samples not totally representative of the overall resource and bottle roll test recoveries of 78.7% Co and 21.1% Ni were obtained. Test work also indicates that there is a good possibility of improving metal recoveries by regrinding and leaching after attritioning as the highest recoveries were obtained from the finer sized fractions (refer Figures 2a & b).

Based on these test results Mt Thirsty oxide ore may be amenable to continuous vat leaching using the proprietary INNOVAT treatment process. INNOVAT processing would require considerably lower capital expenditure and operating costs than for the previously developed flow sheet design. Cost benefits of the INNOVAT process could potentially far outweigh the considerably lower Ni recoveries achieved.

It has been proposed that Co and Ni could be precipitated from the pregnant INNOVAT leach liquor as sulphides using

NaHS or as mixed hydroxides using MgO.

Further detailed testwork will be carried out next quarter along with a conceptual feasibility study to determine the efficacy and viability of this process for Mt Thirsty oxide ore.

Mining Lease

A proposal was put to the native title claimants for a compensation package that will pave the way towards grant of the Mining Lease covering the Mt Thirsty cobalt - nickel oxide deposit. No response has yet been received.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION

The half-year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures compliance ensure the financial statements and note also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2011 and any public announcements made by Fission Energy Ltd and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 . The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the entities in the consolidated group and are consistent with those in the June 2011 financial report except for the adoption of the following new and revised Accounting Standards.

Whilst amendments to the Accounting Standards and Australian Accounting Interpretations have been considered and the Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the reporting requirements and does not expect these requirement to have any material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

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.

The Group has reported a net loss for the period of $459,103 and a cash outflow from operating activities of $269,022.

The directors are confident that the Group, subject to being able to raise further capital, will be able to continue its operations as a going concern, Without such capital, the net loss for the period and the cash outflow from operating activities indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors also carefully manage discretionary expenditure in line with the Group’s cash flow.

The continuing applicability of the going concern basis of accounting is dependent upon the Group’s ability to source additional finance. Unless additional finance is received the Group may need to realise assets and settle liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts, which could differ from the amounts at which they are stated in these financial statements.

NOTE 2: LOSS FOR THE PERIOD

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Fission Energy Limited

10 Kings Park Road West Perth WA 6005 PO Box 570 West Perth WA 6872 T +61 8 9480 2000 F +61 8 9322 7787 E [email protected] W www.grantthornton.com.au

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Fission Energy Limited (“Company”), which comprises the consolidated financial statements being the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising both the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year 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 half-year 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.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Fission Energy Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance

a subsidiary or related entity of Grant Thornton Australia Ltd ABN 41 127 556 389

Grant Thornton Australia Limited is a member firm within Grant Thornton International Ltd. Grant Thornton International Ltd and the member firms are not a worldwide partnership.

with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

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

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Fission Energy Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Significant uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report. The consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $459,103 and net cash outflows from operations of ($269,022) during the half-year ended 31 December 2011. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon sourcing additional capital and managing discretionary expenditure. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
