The report has been set out under the following main headings:

  • B. Details of Remuneration

  • C. Equity Issued as Part of Remuneration

  • D. Shareholdings

  • E. Loans to Directors and Key Management Personnel

  • F. Employment Contracts of Directors and Key Management Personnel

  • G. Performance Income as a Proportion of Total Remuneration

  • H. Other transactions with Key Management Personnel

  • I. Services from Remuneration Consultants

  • J. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting

A. Remuneration Policy

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.

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

Remuneration Policy versus Company Financial Performance

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

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.

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

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.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Notes to the Financial Statements

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 22[nd] September 2016.

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 $2,979,094 (2015: $41,379,520) and a cash balance of $728,231 (2015: $1,059,171).

On 03 August 2016 the Company issued 166,666,667 fully paid ordinary shares at 0.6 cents per share to raise $1,000,000 before expenses, to sophisticated and professional investor clients of Euroz Securities.

On 31 August 2016 the Company issued 508,454,202 fully paid ordinary shares at 0.6 cents per share to raise $3,050,725 before expenses, through its Non-Renounceable Entitlement Issue.

On 08 September 2016 the Company issued 190,053,632 fully paid ordinary shares at 0.6 cents per share to raise $1,140,321 before expenses, to sophisticated and professional investor clients of Euroz Securities.

As a result of the Capital raising the Company has sufficient funding to progress its budgeted Board approved exploration program.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

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

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Venturex Resources Limited as at 30 June 2016 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, Group Entity or Group.

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 24 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.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Notes to the Financial Statements

(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 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 trade and other payables.

Trade and other payables

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

2016 2015
Plant and equipment 3-30years 3-30years
Buildings 7-20years 7-20years
Furniture and Fittings 8-20years 8-20years
Leasehold Improvements Nils 3years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the assets.

These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

  • Amortisation

  • 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.

(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.

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

(g) 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.

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

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.

(h) Employee Benefits

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. Superannuation The amount charged to the profit and loss in respect of superannuation represents the contributions paid or payable by the Group Entity to the employees' superannuation funds. Employee Benefits on-costs Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised when paid or payable by the Group Entity. - Other long term employee benefits

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. Share-based payment transactions 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. Share-based payment transactions - Options 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. Share-based payment transactions – Performance Rights

The fair value of performance rights granted under Tranche 1, with the relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) condition, is calculated at the date of grant using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, taking into account the impact of the TSR condition.

The fair value of performance rights granted under Tranche 2, with the material transaction condition, is calculated using the 5 Day Volume Weighted Average Share Price (VWAP).

  • (i) Provisions

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.

Rehabilitation

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.

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. Subsequent remeasurement of the provision for rehabilitation is recognised in Profit or Loss. The unwinding of the provision for rehabilitation is recognised as a finance cost.

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Notes to the Financial Statements

(j) 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.

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.

Revenue from the profit share arrangement is recognised on an accruals basis based on the contractual terms and substance of the relevant agreement.

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

(k) 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.

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.

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

(l) Research & Development (“R&D”) incentives refundable

Refundable tax incentives are accounted for by offsetting the refund against the original expenditure, capitalised expenditure or Plant and Equipment.

  • (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.

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.

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 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.

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.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

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.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cashflows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(o) Earnings per Share

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.

(p) 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.

(q) Share Capital

Ordinary shares

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

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Notes to the Financial Statements

(r) 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.

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.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies 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:

Impairment of assets and exploration and evaluation expenditure

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. Key sources of estimation uncertainty

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:

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

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.

Share-based payment transactions – performance rights

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 performance rights at the date at which they are granted.

The fair value at grant date for the performance rights issued under Tranche 1 with the relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) condition is calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, taking into account the impact of the TSR condition.

The fair value of performance rights issued under Tranche 2, with the material transaction condition is calculated using the 5 Day Volume Weighted Average Share Price (VWAP).

Provision for rehabilitation

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 rate.

Estimate of useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on Taxation Ruling TR 2016/1 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).

(s) New Accounting Standard for Application in Future Periods

The following new/amended accounting standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for financial years ended 30 June 2016. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 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

AASB reference: AASB 9 (issued December 2014)

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

Classification and measurement

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

  • • Classification and measurement of financial liabilities, and

  • • Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities.

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.

Impact on Initial Application: Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 30 June 2019. The entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments.

Venturex Resources Limited and Group Entities 28 122 180 205

Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Notes to the Financial Statements

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.

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

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.

Impact on Initial Application: Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 30 June 2019. The entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments.

Hedge accounting

Nature of Change: Under the new hedge accounting requirements:

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • • 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

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

Impact on Initial Application: Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 30 June 2019. The entity currently does not apply hedge accounting and therefore there will be no impact from these amendments.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB reference: AASB 15 (issued December 2014)

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.

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

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.

Leases

AASB reference: AASB 16 (issued February 2016)

Nature of Change: 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.

Application date: Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

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

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

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.

(t) Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

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 2016.

The recoverability of exploration & evaluation expenditure is dependent upon further exploration and exploitation of commercially viable mineral deposits.

During 2015, following a review of technical, economic and contractual aspects of the following Projects, the Directors of the Group Entity concluded that the carrying values on the following projects were overstated. Therefore the Group Entity impaired $41,410,836 previously capitalised exploration expenditure.

Notes to the Financial Statements

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 22.

No further impairment has been identified in 2016 other than the write-off of $2,055,767 detailed below.

Stamp Duty Provision

A provision for Stamp Duty has been recognised in relation to the acquisition of Venturex Pilbara Pty. Ltd. On 16 November 2015 the Company received notice from the Office of State Revenue that there was no payment required.

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. The basis for accounting is set out in Note 1(i).

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

2016 2015
Inflation Rate – CPI 1.00% 1.50%
High Yield Interest Rate 3.32% 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 and no liability has been recognised during the year.

Note 18 - Fair Value of Options and Performance Rights Granted

Unlisted Performance Rights with TSR conditions

The fair value of performance rights granted under Tranche 1, with the relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) condition is calculated at the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model, taking into account the impact of the TSR condition.

The price history and volatilities for the Company and each stock in the peer group were calculated.

The model inputs used for performance rights with relative TSR conditions granted during the period included:

2016 2015
Underlying share price on grant date $0.003 to $0.007 Nil
Strike Price Nil Nil
Risk free interest rate 1.95% to 2.00% Nil
Expected dividend yield Nil Nil

Unlisted Performance Rights with Material Transactions conditions

The fair value of performance rights granted under Tranche 2, with the relative Material Transactions condition is calculated at the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of Shares on the day of issue.

A summary of options and performance rights granted, and a summary of options and performance rights outstanding at the end of the year are detailed in Note 17.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 20 - 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:

liabilities is as follows:
- not later than 12 months
- between 12 months and 5 years
- greater than 5 years

Note 21 - 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 22 - 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. The Company disposed of the Brazilian subsidiary incorporated in Brazil; CMG Mineração Ltda. on 18 May 2015.

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.

The Group Entity is exposed to credit risk via its cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. To reduce risk exposure for the Group Entity's cash and cash equivalents, it places them with high credit quality financial institutions.

(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.

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.
