REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
Coziron Resources Ltd (CZR) has exploration focussed primarily on feed-stock materials for steel-making but also investigates any other opportunities for mineralisation particularly in commodities such as gold, copper and base-metals. CZR holds an 85% interest in the Yarraloola and Buddadoo Projects, a 70% interest in the Shepherd's Well and Yarrie Iron Ore Projects and is acquiring a 70% interest in the Croydon Top-Camp project.
Each project is located in proximity to transport infrastructure (Fig 1). Details of the projects and an overview of results from the past six months are presented in the following sections.
Buddadoo Project
The 192 km[2] Buddadoo Project (E59/1350) is located about 200km east of Geraldton Port and 60km from a rail siding at Morawa that connects to Perth and Geraldton (Fig 1). The area is also serviced by a bitumen-road between the towns of Morawa and Yalgoo and a number of station tracks (Fig 1). The tenement covers part of the Gullewa Greenstone Belt which is cut by major faults and intruded by granitic and gabbroic rocks. Historical exploration on E59/1350 identified mineralisation at two sites. In the north at Edamurta, gold, copper and zinc is associated with felsic and mafic volcanics, while in the south adjacent to the Buddadoo Hills, copper and bands of vanadiferous magnetite are hosted by gabbroic rocks (Fig 1).
During the past 6 months the company commenced metallurgical sampling and processing of material from BUDRC013 and BUDRC027 in the Buddadoo Hills that were part of the 28 hole RC drilling programme completed early in 2018 (CZR:ASX 22[nd] August 2018). In addition, follow-up and extensional soil and rock-chip sampling was undertaken over targets showing potential for gold and copper mineralisation (CZR:ASX 22[nd] August 2018). At Edamurta West, located approximately 10 km north-east of the Deflector Gold Mine soil samples at 20 to 40m intervals on E-W lines spaced 200m apart outline anomalism in gold to 200ppb, arsenic to 100 ppm and anomalous antinomy that is open along strike and extends over a distance of about 1.2 km (Fig 2). Copper Valley at the southern end of the Buddadoo tenement has historical occurrences of copper mineralisation located towards the eastern end of a 500 m wide NW-trending regional structure (Fig 2). Recent rock chips collected at intervals where mineralisation was detected along a strike length of about 5 km report copper to 15.2% and gold to 0.6g/t (Table 1). There are also rock-chips from areas with tungsten anomalism in soils to 500 ppm on the eastern flank of the Buddadoo Hills that have reported gold to 1.2 g/t and tungsten to 4.5% (Table 1).
The next phase of work at Buddadoo is to increase the amount of RC and diamond drilling on the rocks with the vanadiferous magnetite for geochemical and metallurgical samples with the results to contribute to the generation of a JORC resource. The more advanced copper and gold anomalies are also ready for a first round of RC drilling.

- Croydon Top Camp Project
Coziron has entered into an agreement with Creasy Group to acquire a 70% interest in Croydon Top-Camp (CTCP E47/2150) project. CTCP is subdivided into two main blocks of tenement that cover a crustal-scale northeast trending fault-system which separates granitic rocks of the Pilbara Craton from deformed, metasedimentary rocks of the De Grey Superbasin (Fig 3). The eastern block of CTCP has reported gold occurrences, while the western block of the CTCP has a long history of gold prospecting and small-scale mining activity at several areas within a 100 km[2] area of the Constantine Sandstone.
In the half year, CZR received reports of 53.5g of gold being recovered by prospectors using metal detectors on 40E prospecting permits covering the Top Camp prospect area (CZR:ASX 20[th] September 2018, 6[th] December 2018). Morphological features on the gold support a primary rather from a lode-style deposit and these are a group of widespread and economically significant deposits across the Pilbara and Yilgarn of Western Australia. The company also acquired a detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric survey from MagSpec Airborne Surveys Ltd over the project, submitted 187 stored auger-pulps and collected additional soil and rock-chip from an initial site visit for comprehensive geochemical analysis (CZR:ASX 10[th] October 2018, 6[th] December 2018).

Fig 3. Croydon Top-Camp project (E47/2150) showing location of gold occurrences from the Geological Survey of Western Australia in sediments of the DeGrey Superbasin separated by a crustal-scale fault from granitic rocks of the Pilbara Craton and overlain by younger rocks of the Fortescue Group (Geology from GSWA digital 1:100K mapping).
The aero-magnetic data outlines the structural framework of the CTCP which has extensive areas of thin colluvial and alluvial cover in the centre of the project area. The magnetics show the contrast between weakly magnetic sedimentary rocks in the Mallina Basin and the gneissic and granitic rocks from the basement in the east. Martin Prospect in the east of CTCP is hosted by nickel and chromium-rich rocks and located in a zone at least 40m wide with copper (Cu) from 500 to 1000 ppm and zinc (Zn) from 400 to 3000 ppm against a background of copper and zinc at less than 100ppm (Fig 4). This suggests the setting represents part of an Archean-age greenstone belt hosting VMS mineralisation. The zone of mineralisation at Martin Prospect represents a drilltarget.
In the west, gridded auger, soils and rock-chips from the carbonate-rich metasediments in the 1.5km long by 500m wide Top Camp Prospect have a high proportion of samples with anomalous gold and pathfinder-elements (Fig 5; CZR:ASX on 10[th] of October 2018, 6[th] December 2018). Samples report gold (Au) to 25g/t, arsenic (As) typically 50 to 200 ppm, and antinomy (Sb) from 20 to 50 ppm. As the new assays are compiled with historical results, they highlight areas in the core of the Top Camp prospect that are ready for a RC drilling programme. There are also areas such as the Bottom Camp prospect (Fig 3) showing gold and pathfinder-element anomalism in widely spaced soil and rock-chip samples where programmes of infill and extensional work have the potential to rapidly generate additional drill targets in areas with good access (6[th] December 2018).

Yarraloola Iron-ore Project
The Yarraloola Project consists of eight exploration licences, two prospecting licenses and a mining lease application with a total area of 896 km[2] (Fig 6). The project has a basement of Archean and Proterozoic-aged rocks that are in parts overlain by younger sediments of the Carnarvon Basin. All the sequences are prospective for iron mineralisation. In the east, Archaean-age sediments in the Hamersley Basin include iron-rich members of the Marra Mamba, Brockman and Boolgeeda Iron formations. In the central and western parts, Proterozoicage metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Ashburton Basin contain an iron formation. In the south, the Coziron tenements cover parts of the Robe River pisolitic iron-stone that was deposited in paleo-river channels associated with the Carnarvon Basin and this system currently support large-scale mining operations at Warramboo, Mesa A and Mesa J (Fig 6).
Logistically, the Yarraloola tenements are serviced by established infrastructure that includes bitumen roads and gas-pipelines and these provide opportunities to lower the cost of development for any ore discoveries. There are also proposals for additional facilities to be developed within the region. BC Iron Ltd has approval for a new haul-road and port at Cape Preston East, while the API joint-venture is preparing a feasibility study for a railway through the West Pilbara to a port at Anketell Point. Both of these planned infrastructure projects traverse the Coziron tenements and have the potential to improve the economics of any iron-ore deposits discovered in the project area.

CZR has also reported results from RC and diamond drill-holes from the Ashburton Magnetite Project that covers a high-order, magnetic target some 12km long and 1km wide on tenements E08/1826 and E08/1686 in the West Pilbara (Fig 6). The sulphide-poor mineralisation is hosted by micaceous and siliceous rocks without asbestiform minerals in the Ashburton Basin some 15km west of the contact with iron formations of the Hammersley Basin (ASX: report 15[th] March 2017). The weathering interface is shallow and typically ends at about 30 m below surface and down-hole intercepts with magnetic susceptibility greater than 10,000 SI units assay with Fe greater than 20% report and a concentrate mass-recovery up to 42% with Fe greater than 67% and SiO2 less than 5% at a measured P80 of 22 microns. Of the prospects within the Ashburton that are being evaluated, drill-holes into Spinifex Hill and Rossi Hill report the broadest intercepts, higher mass yields (greater than 25%) and better quality concentrates (Fe greater than 76% and SiO2 less than 5%; Fig 8, Fig 9; ASX: reports 28[th] April 2016, 3[rd] August 2016, 1[st] June 2017).
During the past 6 months, no fieldwork has been undertaken on the project. Priority fieldwork for 2019 on the CID deposits and targets at Yarraloola is to RC drill to increase the volume of CID, complete metallurgical work and complete a transportation study. The Ashburton magnetite also required sampling of RC material to determine mass yield and concentrate quality as contributions to the generation of a JORC resource.

Shepherds Well Project
The Shepherds Well Project consists of one exploration license (E08/2361) covering an area of 192.2km[2 ] and is located 60-100 km southwest of Karratha (Fig 1). The tenement is serviced by bitumen road access from the Great Northern Highway, is contiguous with the Yarraloola Project and is only 25-50km from the proposed public access port at Cape Preston. The project covers part of the Cleaverville terrain that is part of the basement of the Pilbara beneath the Hamersley Basin. Activities by the company have outlined two drill-ready anomalies. There is an outcrop of ultramafic rock at Dorper Rise with nickel, copper and gold anomalism and along Suffolk Ridge, a linear magnetic feature has lead, zinc and silver anomalism (Fig 7). There is also anomalous gold soil and drainage samples collected near the base of the Fortescue Basalt that requires follow-up (Fig 10; CZR:ASX 11[th] October 2017).
No fieldwork has been undertaken in the past 6 months. The priority field programme for 2019 is the RC drilling of the Dorper Rise and Suffolk Ridge prospects.

Yarrie Project
The Yarrie Project consists of six granted exploration licences (E45/3725, E45/3728, E45/4065, E45/4433, E45/4604, and E45/4605) that cover a total of 419km[2] , about 160km east of Port Hedland (Fig 1). Yarrie is serviced by bitumen and gravel roads and a natural gas pipeline between Pt Hedland and the Telfer coppergold mine. The BHPB-owned rail connection between the Yarrie mining area and Port Hedland also services this area.
The Yarrie tenements have two prospects reporting historical drill-intercepts of high-grade (+62% Fe) iron-ore from the Nimingarra Iron Formation. There is also the potential for gold and base-metals on the tenements. No fieldwork has been undertaken at Yarrie for the past 6 months but the focus of exploration for 2019 is an RC drilling programme at the Kennedy Gap prospect (Fig 8).

Competent Persons Statement
The information in this report that relates to mineral resources and exploration results is based on information compiled by Rob Ramsay BScHons, MSc PhD, Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Rob Ramsay is a full-time Consultant Geologist for Coziron and 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 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Rob Ramsay has given his consent to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
Cautionary Statements
There are some historical exploration results included that have not been collected and reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 and the Competent Person has not done sufficient work to disclose the exploration results in accordance with JORC Code 2012. However, there is nothing that has come to the attention of the acquirer that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the former owner’s Exploration Results but the acquirer has not independently validated the former owners Exploration Results and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing those results. The announcement is not otherwise misleading.

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 2018 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 a full 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 2018 except for the impact (if any) of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations effective 1 July 2018 as discussed 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.
Accounting Standards Issued
In the half-year ended 31 December 2018, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. As a result of this review, the Group has initially applied AASB 9 and AASB 15 from 1 July 2018.
Due to the transition methods chosen by the Group in applying AASB 9 and AASB 15, comparative information throughout the interim financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards.
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 the Group’s accounting policies.

New Accounting Standards not yet mandatory or early adopted
| Reference | Title | Summary | Application date |
Expected Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 16 | Leases | AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases onto its balance sheet in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its balance sheet for most leases. There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117. |
Financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019 |
No expected impact |
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.
Going Concern
The Group has incurred a net loss after tax for the half year ended 31 December 2018 of $844,999 (2018: $740,195) and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,053,528 (2018: $816,944). At 31 December 2018, the Group had current assets of $362,548 (30 June 2018: $250,804).
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through debt or equity issues or partial sale of its mineral properties as and when the need to raise working capital arises, to continue to fund its operational activities.
These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Management believe there are sufficient funds to meet the Group’s working capital requirements as at the date of this report. Subsequent to period end the Group expects to receive additional funds through debt or equity issues.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business for the following reasons:
-
The Group has a proven history of successfully raising capital.
-
Directors have provided short term loans of $125k (as disclosed in note 12).
-
The Directors have agreed to defer payment of amounts owing to related party creditors of $86k until completion of a capital raising.
-
The Directors believe that there is sufficient cash available for the Group to continue operating until it can raise sufficient further capital to fund its ongoing activities.
-
The fact that future exploration and evaluation expenditures are generally discretionary in nature and may be slowed or suspended as part of the management of the Group's working capital and other forecast commitments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018
Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements and that the financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the members of Coziron Resources Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Coziron Resources Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the halfyear then ended, notes comprising a statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
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 the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Emphasis of matter – Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company 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 Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

==> picture [77 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
As the auditor of the Group, 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 the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
