Dear Shareholders

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the 2015 Annual Report for Venturex Resources Limited (“Venturex” or “the Company”).

Notwithstanding a challenging year for natural resource businesses, Venturex has achieved significant milestones in its goal of developing a significant copper and zinc production centre in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The Company has continued to review the 2012 Feasibility Study and mining plan including initiatives to reduce the required capital. This optimisation study has identified a number of opportunities to materially improve the financial outcome of the Feasibility Study. These include the potential for initial open cut mining operations at Sulphur Springs as opposed to commencing underground, reducing implementation costs by deferring some initial aspects of mine development, further optimising the process plant using conventional tailings disposal and rationalising some project infrastructure.

Cash flow was achieved during the year following the successful refurbishment of an existing five tonne per day SX-EW treatment facility and reprocessesing of the existing heap leach pads to produce Copper Cathode. This has been done under an agreement with private mining group, Blackrock Metals pursuant to which Venturex granted Blackrock access rights to the existing Whim Creek oxide copper processing site. Under the agreement with Blackrock, Venturex receives a 15% Net Profit Interest which commenced being payble after the initial capital cost is recovered by Blackrock. The first payment was received in the third quarter of the 2015FY for the December 2014 quarter.

Despite volatility in both the global markets and base metal prices, the long term outlook for copper, and in particular zinc, remains positive with continued demand growth and production shortfalls forecast. The Company is well positioned to benefit from any medium term positive movements in the outlook for base metal prices and beneficial foreign exchange rates.

Exploration continued in the Pilbara region endeavouring to unlock further potential in the Company’s extensive tenement holdings. Application of innovative exploration technologies has provided considerable advancements in the understanding of the Company’s exploration portfolio.

Additionally, we continue to review the strategic exploration ground holding surrounding the established copper-zinc resources of over 600,000 tonnes of copper metal equivalent spread over several established VMS districts.

The Company completed the closure of its Brazil activities with the sale of its wholly owned

subsidiary CMG Mineração Ltda. to a private group in Brazil.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all Venturex staff for their ongoing dedication and hard work in a difficult market under the leadership of former Managing Director, Michael Mulroney. I would also like to record the efforts of Non-executive Director John Nitschke for stepping in to an interim executive role.

AUSTRALIA – PILBARA COPPER-ZINC
----- End of picture text -----

The capital and operating costs for the Project are also being reviewed to reflect current market prices.

The optimisation study is expected to deliver a significant reduction in pre-production capital and with the improved recovery of Resource by the open pit and inclusion of Kangaroo Caves have a life in excess of the 8.5 years contemplated in the 2012 Feasibility Study. The results of the optimisation study are expected to assist the Company as it continues to explore a range of financing options with potential funding providers in difficult market conditions aimed at ensuring that the development of the Project delivers appropriate returns to Shareholders.

PILBARA COPPER-ZINC PROJECT

The Company’s long-term strategy is to develop a significant copper–zinc production centre in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (Figure 1).

The Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project involves the establishment of a new processing facility at Sulphur Springs with ore sourced from the Company’s Sulphur Springs, Kangaroo Caves, Mons Cupri and Whim Creek Deposits. The Feasibility Study on the Project delivered in 2012 was based on construction of a 1.0 million tonne per annum (tpa) conventional flotation treatment plant at Sulphur Springs which is forecast to produce high grade copper and zinc concentrates containing an average payable metal production of 16,400tpa copper (Cu), 30,000tpa zinc (Zn) and 250,000ozs pa of silver (Ag) for at least 8.5 years.

Whim Creek Site Activities

The Processing and Access agreement with Blackrock Metals Pty. Ltd. (“Blackrock”) provides for the reprocessing of the existing Whim Creek oxide copper heap leach pads. Under the agreement, Blackrock will pay to Venturex a fee calculated on a 15% Net Profit Interest.

During the year Blackrock successfully recommissioned the treatment facility and then having repaid the cost of refurbishment from operating profits, paid to Venturex its first payment in the December 2014 quarter. Blackrock will now pay a fee based on the 15% Net Profit Interest calculation to Venturex going forward.

Since the completion of the 2012 Feasibility Study, the Company has acquired the Kangaroo Caves deposit and there has been significant infrastructure development that has taken place within the Sulphur Springs Project area, including the development by Altas Iron of the Abodos Haul Road on Miscellaneous Licences owned by Venturex. This road is within 8 km of the proposed plant site which has greatly improved access to this site. The agreement the Company has with Atlas allows Venturex to use the road after payment of a one off contribution fee, and sharing on going road maintenance costs.

During the year the operation produced a total of 1,075 tonnes of cathode copper, bringing the total production to 1,235 tonnes (Table 1) with Venturex’s net profit interest earning the Company a total of $308,000 in revenue.

TOTAL PRODUCTION

Beyond the proposed development at Sulphur Springs, the Company holds other existing resources at Salt Creek and Evelyn (Liberty-Indee) which could be used for additional mill feed. In addition, the Company believes there is excellent exploration potential within the Company’s tenement portfolio for additional base metal discoveries and potentially additional future ore supply for the processing hub at Sulphur Springs.

Project Activities

Following the granting of all necessary Federal, State Government and agency approvals for the development of the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project during last year, the Company’s attention has been focused on reoptimisation of the Project. The Company is undertaking a detailed review of the 2012 Feasibility Study, focusing on reducing preproduction expenditure and simplifying the proposed project. Key areas the Company is looking to optimise include:

Table 1: Total Production

The Company has been impressed with the professionalism of Blackrock in re-establishing the operation, and bringing it to profitability. Whilst it is not possible for the Company to predict with any certainty the total metal to be recovered from the operation, or revenue that will accrue to the Company, the revenue provided to date is a significant boost to the Company’s finances during a period when access to equity markets to raise funds is limited. To date the revenue received has been used to fund the optimisation study on the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project.

  • Ø A revised mine plan based on mining the top section of the Sulphur Springs Resource using an open pit.

  • Ø Use of conventional tailings placement.

  • Ø Revised crushing grinding, flotation and thickening circuits.

  • Ø Revised infrastructure requirements.

  • Ø Bringing the Kangaroo Caves Deposit into the mining inventory.

The Company is working closely with Blackrock looking at ways to improve the copper recovery and extend the life of the operation. Blackrock recently completed a trial series of bore holes on one of the cells into the bottom lift of the heap in order to inject solution deeper to irrigate material that the surface sprays would not necessarily penetrate. It will take one to two months to determine if the trial is successful, if production increases a systematic bore hole injection program will be undertaken. The Company is also investigating additional sources of oxide copper ore that may be used to extend the life of the operation.

EXPLORATION

Pilbara

The Company’s extensive tenement portfolio in the West Pilbara encompasses three significant geological regions that are highly prospective for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-zinc deposits. Venturex currently controls approximately 60 strike kilometres of prospective target geology across the Sulphur Springs, Whim Creek and Liberty-Indee Joint Venture Project areas.

The three key regions held by the Company with demonstrated potential and known VMS deposits are: Sulphur Springs (Sulphur Springs, Kangaroo Caves), Whim Creek (Whim Creek, Mons Cupri, Salt Creek) and Liberty-Indee (Evelyn). These deposits offer strong exploration opportunities with most systems still open ended. In addition, the surrounding areas contain many identified targets including areas where initial exploration has achieved widespread drilling intersections of moderate to high grade mineralisation at shallow depths that remain to be fully evaluated. This growing portfolio of exploration opportunities even includes areas with long exploration and mining histories such as the Whim Creek/Mons Cupri region, where exploration below a depth of 200 metres is limited.

The Company’s exploration program during the last year included a detailed review of past exploration activities to determine if targets had been adequately tested, and the application of pima spectral scanning designed to fingerprint existing deposits to assist in future exploration drilling target generation.

Sulphur Springs Project

Sulphur Springs

Recent modelling indicates that the Sulphur Springs deposit remains open at depth with limited drilling below the existing resource boundary. The adjacent Bledisloe prospect, with scattered zinc and copper intersections located 600 metres to the west and within the same geological setting as the main Sulphur Springs mineralisation provides an attractive opportunity to extend the existing mineralisation.

Kangaroo Caves

The Kangaroo Caves Copper-Zinc deposit (Figure 2) is located 7 kilometres southeast of the Sulphur Springs deposit.

==> picture [465 x 244] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project Overview

During the year the Company completed pima spectral scanning on a number of current and historical drill holes to assist with the geological modelling of the deposit. Additionally, historical drill data from the deposit was validated to the requirements of the JORC Code (2012) so a revised resource estimate could be prepared incorporating the Company’s 2013 drill program.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period Hardrock Solutions Pty. Ltd. were engaged to remodel the deposit and calculated the resource of 3.55mt grading at 6% Zn, 0.77% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag (Table 2) . Refer Venturex Resources ASX Announcement released 22nd September 2015.

Table 2: Kangaroo Caves Resource Estimate

The contained metal of economic value is estimated to be 212,750 tonnes of Zinc, 27,425 tonnes of Copper and 1,733,000 ounces of Silver.

This resource is being incorporated into the revised mine plan for the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project which is part of the optimisation study currently underway.

Regional Exploration

The Company continued to access the potential of the Breakers, Man O’ War, Anomaly 45 and Jamesons Prospects that were acquired last year. The prospects are located between 13 and 20 km from the proposed Pilbara Copper-Zinc Processing plant and offer potential sources of additional mill feed. Each prospect is hosted by a suite of altered tholeiitic rhyolitic volcanics and volcanoclastic units situated beneath the regional Marker Cher horizon.

A detailed review of past exploration on each of the targets and field recognisance was undertaken. In order to secure long term title to the prospects, the Company pegged two mining licences, one covering the Breakers to Anomaly 45 trend and the other over the Jamesons Prospect. These applications are currently being processed by the Department of Mines (Figure 3).

Whim Creek Project

Whim Creek is located 120 kilometres southwest of Port Hedland and the Company’s tenement holdings straddle the sealed North West Coastal Highway (Figure 4).

South of the highway, the Whim Creek Belt comprises a 12 kilometre long sequence of volcanics and associated sediments which are host to the existing copper-zinc-silver deposits at Whim Creek and Mons Cupri.

These sulphide resources are included in the mine plan of the current 2012 Feasibility Study.

==> picture [465 x 245] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Whim Creek Belt Overview

To the north of the highway in the Salt Creek area, a 15 kilometre long equivalent geological sequence hosts the high-grade Salt Creek copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold deposit and the high priority ACL prospect.

Recent exploration at Whim Creek and Salt Creek has focused on the systematic review and re-interpretation of the existing deposits and exploration targets using a combination of detailed geochemical, geophysical and spectral analysis. In addition, the Company completed a detailed review of historical exploration reports stored in the Western Australian Mineral Exploration Index (WAMEX). This work has involved digitising historical plans, fact maps and drill logs and assay logs that had not previously been collated into the database. Data from a large number of geophysical programs undertaken by previous explorers have been recovered.

The data has been reviewed by the Company’s geophysical consultant to access its quality and the

adequacy of the analysis carried out on it in light of recent advances in geophysical techniques.

This information is being fed back into the Company targeting models in order to define areas for additional

exploration.

The review work has also assisted the Company in rationalising the tenement portfolio. The Company was able to realise $400,000 from the sale of non-core tenements to Rutila Resources Ltd. who are constructing the nearby Balla Balla Port facility.

Liberty-Indee Joint Venture (VXR 70%, up to 90%)

The Company did not complete any additional exploration work on the joint venture tenements during the year. Work on the Project was restricted to accessing the results of the 2014 drilling program, and integrating recently acquired ground magnetic data with existing geophysical datasets.

Brazil

During the year, the Company closed its Brazil operation and surrendered or sold the tenements to local parties. Whilst the Company was encouraged by the results obtained from the project to date, in the current market maintaining this project was a significant financial drain on the Company’s resources. As the project was a non-core asset with no immediate avenue to a cash flow, the Board reluctantly made the decision to divest the project on the best possible terms. The Company does not retain any ongoing exposure to Brazil.

This Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement have been prepared according to the JORC Code (2012). For the JORC Code (2012) Notes accompanying the Resources and Reserves Statement and Exploration Results are referred in the Venturex Resources Limited ASX announcement dated 22 September 2015.

Mineral Resources

The Mineral Resources Statement for the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project has been modified to reflect the change in the mineral resource for the Kangaroo Caves Deposit which was announced to the ASX on the 22[rd] September 2015. There have been no other changes to the mineral resources for the other deposits listed in the table below:

Review of Operations

A. Remuneration Policy

Detailed review of operations can be found on page 2 of the annual report. At 30 June 2015, the Company had 1,547,869,181 quoted fully paid ordinary shares (2014: 1,547,869,181) and no quoted options issued over shares (2014: Nil). As at 30 June 2015 the Group Entity held cash reserves of $1,059,171 (2014: $1,159,329).

Remuneration of all Executive and Non-Executive Directors and Officers of the Group Entity is determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

The Group Entity is committed to remunerating Senior Executives and Executive Directors in a manner that is marketcompetitive, consistent with "Best Practice" and supports the interests of Shareholders. Remuneration packages are based on fixed and variable components, determined by the Executive’s position, experience and performance, and may be satisfied via cash or equity.

Profit (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per share 2.67 cents (2014: Loss 0.30 cents).

Dividends

Non-Executive Directors are remunerated out of the aggregate amount approved by Shareholders and at a level that is consistent with industry standards. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance based bonuses and prior Shareholder approval is required to participate in any issue of equity. No retirement benefits are payable other than statutory superannuation, if applicable.

The Directors did not pay or declare any dividends during the 2015 financial year. The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend in respect of the year.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

In the opinion of the Directors, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group Entity during the year under review not otherwise disclosed in this Annual Report.

The maximum annual aggregate directors’ fee pool limit is $400,000 and was approved by shareholders at the general meeting on 23 July 2012.

Emphasis of Matter

Remuneration Policy versus Company Financial Performance

The Independent Auditor Report for the year ended 30 June 2015 contains an emphasis of matter in relation to potential uncertainty regarding the Groups continuing as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern. The Group will require additional funding to carry its exploration and evaluation activities. Refer note 1 and the Independent Audit Report for further details.

The Group Entity's remuneration policy has been based on industry practice rather than the performance of the Group Entity and takes into account the risk and liabilities assumed by the Directors and Executives as a result of their involvement in the speculative activities undertaken by the Group Entity.

Performance Based Remuneration

Subsequent Events

The purpose of a performance bonus is to link individual rewards to the performance of the Company. The Company reviews the mechanism to determine individual performance bonuses on an annual basis. In the 2013 financial year, the Board temporarily suspended the bonus formula linked to the achievement of Company targets (including project outcomes, share price performance and social licence criteria) as well as the individual employee’s personal performance, with individual caps based on seniority and capacity to influence the performance of the Company. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are to retain and motivate key Executives, attract high quality Management to the Company and provide performance incentives that allow Executives to share in the success of the Company.

On 1 July 2015, Mr Ray Parry resigned as an independent Non-Executive Director.

On 1 July 2015, Mr Anthony Reilly and Mr Darren Stralow were appointed as Non-Executive Directors.

Other than as disclosed above or elsewhere in this Annual Report, no other material events after the balance date have occurred.

Environmental Regulation

The Group Entity’s operations and projects are subject to State and Federal laws and regulations regarding environmental hazards. In Australia, the regulatory bodies are the WA Department of Environment Regulations (DER), the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP), the WA Department of Water (DoW) and the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

For details of performance based remuneration refer to Section G - Performance income as a proportion of total remuneration of the Remuneration Report.

B. Details of Remuneration

The Board believes that the Group Entity has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental regulations and is not aware of any breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Group Entity.

The Key Management Personnel of the Group Entity are disclosed above.

Share Options on Issue

At the date of this report, there are no unissued ordinary shares of the Company under option.

a) Short-term employee benefits - cash salary and fees, cash bonus, non-monetary benefits and other*;

b) Post-employment benefits - including superannuation and termination, and other; c) Share-based payments - shares and options granted.

  • -Apart from listed above no other Key Management Personnel have any Options.

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above. Fair values at grant date are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying shares, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The Model inputs for options granted during the period have been included in Note 19 of the financial statements.

G. Performance Income as a Proportion of Total Remuneration

Performance based remuneration for the financial year is disclosed in B. Details of Remuneration.

All Executives are eligible to receive bonuses through employment contracts and Board discretion. Subject to Board approval, their performance payments are based on a bonus formula linked to the achievement of measurable Company targets (including project outcomes, share price performance and social licence criteria) (weighting: 60% of possible bonus) as well as the individual employee’s personal performance and KPI achievement (weighting: 40% of possible bonus), with individual caps based on seniority and capacity to influence the performance of the Company. The proportion between incentive and non-incentive remuneration is variable. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are to retain and motivate key Executives, attract high quality Management to the Company and provide performance incentives that allow Executives to share in the success of the Company. In the 2013 financial year, the Board temporarily suspended the bonus formula linked to the achievement of Company targets.

Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to receive cash performance based remuneration.

H. Other transactions with Key Management Personnel

All transactions with related parties are made on normal commercial terms and conditions except where indicated. There were no transactions with Key Management Personnel not disclosed above.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----- End of picture text -----

Note 1 - Statement of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statement comprises Venturex Resources Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group Entity" or the “Group”). The Company is a listed public company domiciled in Australia. The Company is a for-profit entity.

Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30[th] September 2015.

Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Functional and Presentation Currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Going Concern

The Group Entity incurred a loss before income tax of $41,379,520 (2014: $4,710,654), net decrease of cash flows of $94,810 (2014: $2,096,015) and had a net asset balance of $14,849,164 (2014: $56,003,270) for the year ended 30 June 2015, including a cash balance of $1,059,171 (2014: $1,159,329).

The Directors are of the opinion that the Group’s exploration and development assets will attract further capital investment when required. The Directors will continue to maximise the value of existing assets through careful planning of drilling campaigns, calculation of mineral resources as sufficient data becomes available. In regards to the Pilbara Copper – Zinc Project, the Directors will continue with ongoing discussions with interested groups on opportunities to advance the Project’s development as part of the Company’s drive to commercialise the Pilbara Copper – Zinc Project. The Group will also consider divestments if the proceeds are likely to exceed the realisable value of such assets if they were retained.

The Group will be required to raise additional capital to fund its future activities, including provision for ongoing working capital, exploration and any required pre-production activities that may be identified in the current optimisation/feasibility process for the development of a centralised sulphide processing facility at the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project. The Directors believe that the Group has the ability to raise additional funds through its 15% share placement capacity (or larger percentage subject to Shareholder approval) or via short term loan funding arrangements.

If the Group is unable to raise additional capital, the Company will investigate funding options including joint venturing the project, defer or reduce certain feasibility and exploration expenditure, divesting other non-core assets or reviewing the Company’s current activities such that the Group Entity will remain a going concern.

However in the event that the Group Entity is not able to successfully complete the above activities, material uncertainty would exist that may cast doubt on whether the Group Entity will continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise the assets and extinguish the liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.

The Directors believe that the Group Entity will be successful in the above matters and, at this time. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group Entities, unless otherwise stated.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

  • (a) Basis of Consolidation

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.

The Group measures goodwill or exploration and evaluation assets on consolidation at the acquisition date as:

  • ƒ the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

  • ƒ the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree: plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less

  • ƒ the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Venturex Resources Limited as at 30 June 2015 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Venturex Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.

A list of subsidiaries is contained in Note 25 to the financial statements. All subsidiaries have a June financial year-end.

Loss of control

Upon the loss of control, the Company derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investment or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

  • (b) Foreign Currencies

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group Entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit and loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to Australian dollars using average exchange rates for the reporting period. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • (c) Financial Instruments

Non-derivative financial assets

The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: loans and receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents and, trade and other receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group initially recognises debt securities issued on the date they originated. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Group classified non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.

Employee Benefits on-costs

Trade and other payables

Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised when paid or payable by the Group Entity. - Other long term employee benefits

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group Entity prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior period. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the high yield interest rate at the reporting date. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Recognition and measurement

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Share-based payment transactions

Items of property are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

The Company operates an employee share-based payment scheme. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using a Black-Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of the reporting period such that the amount recognised as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income/other expenses in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

Rehabilitation

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

A provision for rehabilitation is recognised if, as a result of exploration and development activities undertaken, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The estimated future obligations include the costs of restoring the affected areas contained in the Group’s tenements.

2015 2014
Plant and equipment 3-30years 3-30years
Buildings 7-20 years 7-20 years
Furniture and Fittings 8-20years 8-20years
Leasehold Improvements 3 years 3 years

Future rehabilitation costs will be reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the rehabilitation provision at each end of the reporting period. The initial estimate of rehabilitation is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and is amortised on the same basis as the related asset. Changes in the estimate of the provision for rehabilitation are also capitalised. The unwinding of the provision for rehabilitation is recognised as a finance cost.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

(k) Revenue Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the assets.

  • (e) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation 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.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. 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).

  • (l) Finance Income and Finance Costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

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.

Amortisation

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, unwinding of the discount on contingent liabilities, share based payments in relation to financing services and impairment losses recognised on financial assets. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

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.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

(f) Leases Operating leases are leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group Entity and are not recognised in the Group Entity’s statement of financial position.

  • (m) 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 date.

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the 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.

(g) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses.

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 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 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 taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The cost of inventories is determined using a weighted average cost method. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

(h) Impairment At each end of the reporting period, the Group Entity 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 assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit and loss.

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 Group Entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Impairment testing is performed bi-annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives.

On 14 March 2012, Venturex Resources Limited, together with its 100% owned Australian subsidiaries (“Venturex Group”) formed a Tax Consolidated Group with an effective date of 1 July 2009. The consolidation allows the transfer of losses and assets between group companies for income tax purposes giving the Venturex Group flexibility to commercially structure its business.

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

  • (n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

(i) Employee Benefits

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.

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are recognised in employee provisions in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

Superannuation

  • (o) Earnings per Share

(t) New Accounting Standard for Application in Future Periods

The Group Entity presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to ordinary Shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss after income tax attributable to ordinary Shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted to employees.

The following new/amended accounting standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for financial years ended 30 June 2015. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 and are expected to impact the entity in the period of initial application. In all cases the entity intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated below.

Financial Instruments

(p) Non-Current Assets Held For Sale

AASB reference: AASB 9 (issued December 204)

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable.

Application date: Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018

Classification and measurement

They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Nature of Change: AASB 9 amendments the classification and measurement of financial assets:

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the noncurrent asset is recognised at the date of derecognition.

  • ƒ Financial assets will either be measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

  • ƒ Financial assets are measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI if certain restrictive conditions are met. All other financial assets are measured at FVTPL.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.

  • ƒ All investments in equity instruments will be measured at fair value. For those investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, there is an irrevocable election to present gains and losses in OCI. Dividends will be recognised in profit or loss.

  • (q) Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that related to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

The following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement into AASB 9:

  • ƒ • Classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and

(r) Share Capital

  • ƒ • Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities.

Ordinary shares

However, AASB 9 requires that gains or losses on financial liabilities measured at fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Impact on Initial Application: Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 31 December 2018. The entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments.

(s) Use of Estimates and Judgments

Management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Impairment

Nature of Change: The new impairment model in AASB 9 is now based on an ‘expected loss’ model rather than an ‘incurred loss’ model.

A complex three stage model applies to debt instruments at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income for recognising impairment losses.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

A simplified impairment model applies to trade receivables and lease receivables with maturities that are less than 12 months.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

For trade receivables and lease receivables with maturity longer than 12 months, entities have a choice of applying the complex three stage model or the simplified model.

The following are the critical judgements (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below), that Management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Impact on Initial Application: Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 31 December 2018. The entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments.

Impairment of assets and exploration and evaluation expenditure

Hedge accounting

The Group Entity determines whether non-current assets should be assessed for impairment based on identified impairment triggers. At each reporting date Management assesses the impairment triggers based on their knowledge and judgement.

Nature of Change: Under the new hedge accounting requirements:

  • ƒ The 80-125% highly effective threshold has been removed

Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets

  • ƒ Risk components of non-financial items can qualify for hedge accounting provided that the risk component is separately identifiable and reliably measurable

Deferred tax assets are not recognised for deductible temporary differences as Management consider that it is not probable that the Group will be able to utilise these temporary differences until the Group becomes profitable.

  • ƒ An aggregated position (i.e. combination of a derivative and a non-derivative) can qualify for hedge accounting provided that it is managed as one risk exposure

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

  • ƒ When entities designate the intrinsic value of options, the initial time value is deferred in OCI and subsequent changes in time value are recognised in OCI

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

  • ƒ • When entities designate only the spot element of a forward contract, the forward points can be deferred in OCI and subsequent changes in forward points are recognised in OCI. Initial foreign currency basis spread can also be deferred in OCI with subsequent changes be recognised in OCI

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

  • ƒ • Net foreign exchange cash flow positions can qualify for hedge accounting.

The exploration and evaluation expenditure is reviewed regularly to ensure that the capitalised expenditure is only carried forward to the extent that it is expected to be recouped through the successful development of the areas of interest or when activities in the areas of interest have not yet reached a stage which permit reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Impact on Initial Application: Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 30 June 2018. The entity currently does not apply hedge accounting and therefore there will be no impact from these amendments.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Share-based payment transactions

AASB reference: AASB 15 (issued December 2014)

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with Directors and Key Management Personnel and service providers by reference to the fair value of the options at the date at which they are granted. The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

Nature of Change: An entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under IAS 18 Revenue.

Provision for rehabilitation

Application date: Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017

The provision for rehabilitation is based on the present obligations of the estimates of the future sacrifice of economic benefits required to meet the environmental liabilities on the Group’s tenements. The Group has considered the provision for rehabilitation for its exploration tenements based on reports conducted by independent consultants. The Group has estimated the increase in costs over time for rehabilitation would increase by the Consumer Price Index, and the discount value in determining the present value of the provision for rehabilitation would be the high interest yield.

Impact on Initial Application: Due to the recent release of this standard, the entity has not yet made a detailed assessment of the impact of this standard.

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle

AASB reference: AASB 2015-1 (issued January 2015)

Nature of Change: Non-urgent but necessary changes to standards

Estimate of useful lives of assets

Application date: Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on Taxation Ruling TR 2015/2 and historical experience. The condition of the assets is assessed at year end and considered against the remaining useful life. Details of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are set out in Note 1(d).

==> picture [72 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Impact on Initial Application: These amendments affect presentation and disclosures only. Therefore on first time adoption of these amendments on 1 July 2016, comparatives will need to be restated in line with presentation and note ordering.

During the year, the Group Entity adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory. The adoption of these standards has not significantly impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of the transactions of the Group Entity and its consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2015.

(v) Voluntary Change in Accounting Policy for refundable Research & Development (“R&D”) incentives

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting policy relating to R&D incentives. The previous accounting policy was to account for refundable R&D tax incentives as other income. The Company has determined that these incentives are similar to government grants because they are not conditional upon earning taxable income. Refundable tax incentives are now accounted for as government grants under AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants as the directors consider this policy to provide more relevant information to meet the economic decision-making needs of users, and to make the financial statements more reliable. The change in accounting policy involves restating each of the affected financial statement items for prior periods as shown in the table below.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets

In June 2013, the Group Entity entered into discussion with a preferred bidder to sell the Whim Creek Hotel and accommodation units. $100,000 was received as a deposit of which $50,000 is non-refundable should the sale not proceed. The sale was completed in July 2014.

The Group Entity has not recognised deferred tax assets. This future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:

  • the Group Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

In June 2013, the Group Entity decided to sell a mill which is not currently in use. The sale was completed during the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

  • the Group Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation;

  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group Entity in realising the benefit.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Land classified as held for sale during the reporting period was measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell at the time of the reclassification.

  • Deferred tax assets not brought to account, the benefits of which will only be realised if the conditions for deductibility set out above occur, are as follows:

(b) Impairment loss

Following a review of technical, economic and contractual aspects of the following Projects, the Directors of the Group Entity concluded that the carrying value on the following projects were overstated. Therefore the Group Entity impaired $41,410,836 (2014: $2,446,209) previously capitalised exploration and evaluation incurred expenditure as summarised below.

The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation expenditure was based on the fair value less costs of disposal, estimated using a non-binding offer received from Orion Finance Group for the sale of the assets on 22 May 2015. The fair value measurement was categorised as a Level 2 fair value.

The impairment has impacted the Australian Exploration operating segments – Refer to Note 23.

Stamp Duty Provision

A provision for Stamp Duty has been recognised in relation to the acquisition of Venturex Pilbara Pty. Ltd. At 30 June 2015, the Office of State Revenue was still in the process of assessing the Stamp Duty payable.

Mine Rehabilitation

In accordance with State government legislative requirements, a provision for mine rehabilitation has been recognised in relation to the Group Entity’s Whim Creek Mine. A small scale SX-EW has been constructed by a third party and is expected to operate for one to two years. The basis for accounting is set out in Note 1(j).

The fair value of the mine rehabilitation model inputs used are as follows:

2015 2014
Inflation Rate – CPI 1.50% 3.00%
Cash Rate - 3.54%
High Yield Interest Rate 4.20% -
Estimated commencement of outflow First Quarter 2023 First Quarter 2023

Contingent Liability

As part of the acquisition of Venturex Pilbara Pty. Ltd, Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration a future payment which is triggered by an announcement of its intention to commence mining operations on any of the tenements held by Venturex or its related bodies corporate, within 100 kilometres of Whim Creek. Venturex will issue such number of shares equal to $3,000,000 divided by the 30 day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares trading on the ASX over the period ending on the day immediately prior to any announcement of the intention to commence mining operations by the Company. This is subject to receipt of all necessary Shareholder approvals, if not obtained; Venturex will instead pay the amount of $3,500,000 cash.

As a result of the Company’s decision to embark on an enhancement programme of the Pilbara Copper-Zinc Project, a definitive date for the commencement of mining is unable to be determined.

The Group Entity leases a building in West Perth and office equipment under operating leases.

The building lease runs for a period of 3 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Lease payments are subject to either fixed annual reviews (4%) or market reviews.

The office equipment lease runs for a period of 4 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Lease payments are fixed for the duration of the lease.

The small appliances lease runs for a period of 5 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Lease payments are fixed for the duration of the lease.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2015, $227,322 was recognised as an expense in the profit or loss in respect of operating leases (2014: $206,025).

Note 21 - Capital Commitments

Exploration expenditure commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group Entity is required to comply with the minimum expenditure obligations under the Mining Act. These obligations have been met, or the appropriate exemptions have been granted. The future obligations which are subject to renegotiation when an application for a mining lease is made and at other times are not provided for in the financial statements. Capital expenditure contracted for at the end of the reporting period but not recognised as liabilities is as follows:

2015 2014 $ $ - not later than 12 months 1,090,460 1,165,329 - between 12 months and 5 years - - - - - greater than 5 years 1,090,460 1,165,329

Note 22 - Contingencies

The Group Entity’s contingencies are as follows:

  • As part of the acquisition of Venturex Pilbara Pty. Ltd, Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration a contingent liability. This is based upon an announcement of the Company’s intention to commence mining operations on any of the tenements held by Venturex or its related bodies corporate, within 100 kilometres of Whim Creek. Venturex will issue such number of shares equal to $3,000,000 divided by the 30 day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares trading on the ASX over the period ending on the day immediately prior to any announcement of the intention to commence mining operations by the Company. This is subject to receipt of all necessary Shareholder approvals. If approval is not obtained, Venturex will instead pay the amount of $3,500,000 cash.

  • As part of the acquisition of Venturex Sulphur Springs Pty. Ltd. Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration the grant of zinc off-take rights to Toho Zinc capped at 230,000t of zinc in zinc concentrate from Sulphur Springs (or Venturex’s other Pilbara Operations) on international benchmark terms.

  • As part of the acquisition of Kangaroo Caves M45/587, Venturex included as part of the purchase consideration for the granting of an uncapped royalty of $2.00 per dry metric tonne for any ore mined and processed from the Kangaroo Caves tenement.

The contingencies will only become payable if favourable economic and infrastructure conditions exist to justify the mining and processing of the ore. These conditions are influenced by numerous external factors for which there is no certainty, and therefore, the Group Entity has made no provision in its account for these potential contingent liabilities.

Note 23 - Operating Segments

The full Board of Directors, who are the chief operating decision makers, has identified two reportable segments from a geographical prospective with the mineral exploration segments being Australian and Brazilian segments.

Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of exploration and evaluation expenditure for each geographical area. The measure excludes items such as the effects of share based payments expenses, interest income and corporate expenses as these activities are centralised.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The following table indicates the impact on how profit or loss income and equity values reported at balance date would have been affected by 2% changes in the interest rates. This sensitivity assumes that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables:

  • (e) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group Entity.

(f) Liquidity Risk

The Group Entity is exposed to liquidity risk via its trade and other payables. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group Entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet the commitments associated with its financial liabilities. Responsibility for liquidity risk rests with the Board who manage liquidity risk by monitoring undiscounted cash flow forecasts and actual cash flows provided to them by the Group Entity's Management at Board meetings to ensure that the Group Entity continues to be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due. Contracts are not entered into unless the Board believes that there is sufficient cash flow to fund the additional activity. The Board considers when reviewing its undiscounted cash flows forecasts whether the Group Entity needs to raise additional funding from the equity markets.

The Directors of the Company declare that:

  1. the financial statements and notes, as set out on pages 18 to 42, are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and :

  2. (a) comply with Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and other

    • mandatory professional reporting requirements; and

  • (g) Exposure to Foreign Currency risk

The Group Entity currently does not hedge against foreign currency gains or losses.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Venturex Resources Limited

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Venturex Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion

In our opinion:

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Venturex Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, 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 year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the 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 financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Stat ements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

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

  • (a) the financial report of Venturex Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that 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.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2015. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Venturex Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
