DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Your directors submit the financial report of the consolidated group for the half-year ended 31 December 2012.

DIRECTORS

The names of directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year:

Adam Sierakowski (Chairman) Stephen Lowe Robert Ramsay (Appointed 20 December 2012) Kwong Choon (Eddie) Soong (Resigned 20 December 2012)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

In 2012, the Company acquired an 85% ownership of three projects: Yarraloola Iron-Ore Project in the western part of the Hamersley Basin (Zanthus Resources Pty Ltd), Earaheedy Basin Manganese Project on the north-eastern margin of the Yilgarn (KingX Pty Ltd) and the Buddadoo Iron-titanium Project in the Midwest of Western Australia (Buddadoo Metals Pty Ltd). In each case, the projects report occurrences of ore-grade mineralization and cover additional areas of untested highly-prospective geology. The key Midwest and Pilbara tenements are exceptionally well located in respect of existing and planned infrastructure. In the period, exploration activity had been undertaken on each of the projects. Brief details are as follows:

Yarraloola Iron-Ore Project - Zanthus Resources Pty Ltd (“Zanthus”)

Location

Zanthus holds seven contiguous granted exploration tenements, two granted prospecting licenses and one prospecting license application in the Pilbara’s iron-producing Hamersley Basin (Table 1). The tenements are adjacent to the North West Coastal Highway and 120 kilometres southwest of Karratha and the Port of Dampier. Established infrastructure traverses the tenements, including the Robe River Railway and the Dampier-Bunbury gas pipeline. The proposed railway for the Australian Premium Iron (API) Joint Venture is expected to cross through the tenements and continue to the proposed Anketell Port, west of Cape Lambert. Recently, Buckland Transport (a subsidiary of ASX-listed, Iron-ore Holdings Ltd) has made an application for miscellaneous licences to cross the Zanthus tenements and allow development of a haul-road from their mineral resources in the Bungeroo Valley to a new port at Cape Preston East.

P08.0669 ProspectingLicense application 25.62 Hectares

Geology and Mineralization

The Zanthus tenements are prospective because they cover part of the Hamersley Basin in the Pilbara. This is one of the major iron-ore producing regions of the World hosting larger, high-grade mines and deposits over an area of 400km by 150km. Most ore is derived from units of Banded iron-formation (BIF) which are sediments within the Hamersley Group. Within the BIF, there are two distinct ore-types. (1) Lumpy, high-grade goethite-martite that can be screened and shipped directly from port and is commonly referred to as DSO. (2) Magnetite which is upgraded by crushing, grinding and magnetic concentration prior to shipping. Another significant source of iron-ore in the Pilbara is the younger accumulations of sedimentary iron deposited as Channel Iron Deposit (CID) which can extend beyond the Hamersley Basin.

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)

In the Hamersley Basin, the main economic rock units for DSO and magnetite are the Brockman and Marra Mamba Iron Formations. At Yarraloola, early stage exploration identified BIF outcrop with Fe>50% showing prospectivity for DSO. In addition, the airborne aeromagnetic-radiometric responses from the tenements indicate that Brockman, Marra Mamba and some less well characterized iron-formations extend across the Yarraloola tenement package for more some 50km and highlight the prospectivity for magnetite deposits.

In addition to the DSO and magnetite prospectivity the Yarraloola tenements are also very prospective for the discovery of CID mineralization. The Warramboo, Mesa A and Mesa J CID Mines operated by Rio Tinto Ltd with combined annual production in excess of 30Mtpa and the undeveloped Mesas B-F, Mesas H-K, Jewel, Cochrane, Ken’s Bore, Cardo Bore East and Upper Cane CID deposits are located adjacent to the Zanthus tenements. ASX-listed Red Hill Iron Ore Ltd also owned the rights to CID-only exploration in the western half of E08/1685 during 2011-2012 (Figure 2). Red Hill now has beneficial ownership of an inferred resource of 71Mt of ore at 54.1% Fe[1] in two deposits which are covered by mining lease applications M08/499 and M08/500.

Work Programmes and Results

In May-June of 2012 a total of 65 vertical RC holes for 4090m were drilled mostly into seven different iron-rich targets to establish the setting, geology and potential for mineralization. The assay results from the drilling identified some intervals with DSO-grade mineralization that require follow-up. In addition, assaying for gold and associated base-metals in intervals of graphitic shales intersected in some drill-holes identified intervals of anomalous mineralization.

In addition to the drilling, mapping, rock-chip and soil-sampling have focussed on the identification and prioritization of targets for DSO goethite-haematite, CID, magnetite and gold and base-metals mineralization. Announced results have identified high-grade goethite-haematite mineralization at the Cattle Grid target, at least four new areas where CID-style mineralization is reported and discovered outcrop of magnetite ironformation hosted within the Ashburton Trough which is outside of the Hamersley Basin (Fig 3). Soil-sampling over an area of shallow, historical, gold-workings within rocks of the Fortescue Basalt which underlie the ironformations of the Hamersley Basin has also resulted in the delineation of the 2 by 1km Cobblers Gold Anomaly with a peak value Au of 1.75g/t. Follow-up work on all the targets is being planned.

Earaheedy Manganese Project - KingX Pty Ltd

Location

The Earaheedy Manganese Project consists of 4 granted and 8 contiguous pending tenements (Table 2) covering about 120kms of the southern Earaheedy Basin on the margin of the Yilgarn craton about 130kms northeast of Wiluna, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.

Geology and Mineralization

The Earaheedy Basin is a Palaeoproterozoic sequence of clastic and chemical sediments which on-lap the crystalline rocks of the Yilgarn Block. Overlying a thin sequence of conglomerates and sandstones is an interval of pelletal iron-formations which then pass upwards into a sequence of carbonates. The transition from iron-rich to carbonate rich rocks is marked by a zone of manganese-rich sedimentation. In southern Africa, a similar sequence of rocks in the Kalahari Basin hosts wide-spread deposits of high-grade manganese which were further enriched by hydrothermal processes associated with the dewatering of the basin.

Although the Earaheedy Basin is regarded as being very analogous to the Kalahari Basin with respect to age, depositional and tectonic history, the region has seen little systematic exploration to date.

Work Programmes and Results

A 400km[2] , low-level airborne magnetic-radiometric survey was completed over portions of E53/1437 and E38/2213 and all of E38/2212. The data has been processed and targets have been generated for follow-up.

Buddadoo Project – Buddadoo Metals Pty Ltd

Location

The project consists of a single exploration license E59/350, located 180kms east of Geraldton and 70kms from existing railway at either Morawa or Pindar and the northern portion of the tenement is crossed by a bitumen-surface road from Yalgoo. See Figure 6 below.

Geology and Prospectivity

The Buddadoo tenement covers part of the Mullewa Greenstone belt and the adjacent granites and granitic gneisses of the Yilgarn Cratonic Block. Intruding the greenstone sequence is an 8.6km long and 2.4 km wide sequence of gabbroic rocks termed the Buddadoo Complex. Mineralization is reported in at least three different settings at Buddadoo and the.

  1. Vanadiferous and titaniferous magnetite bands which are laterally persistent along the eastern side of the complex and up to 1m thick are hosted by the Buddadoo Igneous Complex.

  2. Copper and gold mineralization is reported in the felsic and mafic rocks of the Mullewa Greenstone Belt.

  3. Uranium radiometric anomalies are associated with the sediments surrounding the broad salt-flat dominated drainage systems which cross the central part of the tenement.

Work Programmes and Results

Coziron has completed a small programme of mapping, soil and rock-chip sampling over prospective target zones. Results will be reported when they are available.

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Preparation

The half-year consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements 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.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2012 and any public announcements made by Coziron Resources Limited 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. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the group as in the full financial report.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 other than the Group’s policy in relation to exploration and evaluation costs in relation to mineral exploration. The Group’s revised policy is shown below.

It has been determined by the Group that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

Reporting basis and conventions

The half-year statements have 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.

Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation costs including costs of studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities along with those for general and administrative costs are expensed in the period they are incurred. Acquisition costs of acquiring are capitalised until the viability of the area of interest is determined. Those acquisition costs are carried forward when the following conditions are satisfied:

  • (i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • (ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or

  • b) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the balance date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset

18

COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

Going Concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2012 of $1,670,065 (2011: 158,907) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,458,034 (2011: 193,047). At 31 December 2012, the Group had current assets of $1,884,628 (30 June 2012: $3,347,332).

The Directors believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements and as at the date of this report the Group believes it can meet all liabilities as and when they fall due. However the Directors recognise that additional funding either through the issue of further shares, convertible notes or a combination of both will be required for the Group to continue to actively explore its mineral properties.

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the assets and liabilities of the Group and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will continue to be successful in securing additional funds through debt or equity issues or partial sale of its mineral properties as and when the need to raise working capital arises.

Should the Directors not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial report does not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.

Exploration costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development or sale 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.

The acquisition of Zanthus Resources Pty Ltd, Buddadoo Metals Pty Ltd and KingX Pty Ltd are not considered to be a business combination as it does not meet the criteria as set out in AASB 3 Business Combinations. This transaction has been treated as an acquisition of assets, predominantly exploration expenditure

The acquisition of Zanthus, KingX and Buddadoo is accounted as a share based payment under AASB 2. A share based payment transaction arises whereby Coziron Resources Limited has issued 500 million shares in exchange for the net assets of Zanthus, KingX and Buddadoo. The amount recognised as issued equity instruments in the consolidated financial statements has been determined by adding the share based payment to the issued capital of Coziron Resources Limited on the date of the acquisition. The value of the share based payment is based on the fair value of the acquisitions as determined by an external valuation that was performed during the acquisition process.

No other share based payment transactions were entered into during the period and at the time of this report the Group does not have a formal employee option plan in place.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COZIRON RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Coziron Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity 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 disclosing entity are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with 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 half-year 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 2012 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 Coziron Resources 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 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 have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Coziron Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the Consolidated Statement of Profit & Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the half-year financial report which indicates that Coziron Resources Limited incurred a net loss of $1,670,065 during the half-year ended 31 December 2012. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the disclosing entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the disclosing entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

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 Coziron Resources 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 2012 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 .
