chairman's report

Dear Shareholder

uring the past year, your Company has established itself as an active exploration vehicle, investigating the mineral potential of $\bm{J}$ exploration and mining tenements in the Kilkivan area, in south east Queensland. The area has been previously explored and mined by many small companies and prospectors, but a regional approach to the highly mineralised geological province has never been attempted before.

The \$4 million capital raising, completed in August 2003, was based on combining many separately owned exploration tenements into one vehicle, your Company D'Aquifar Gold Limited. The Company now controls over 3,000 square kifometres of mineral tenements.

The purpose was to give exploration in the Kilkivan area the best chance of succeeding with a regional understanding of mineral emplacement mechanisms and to give sufficient opportunity to explore a large number of gold exploration targets and previous gold discoveries.

The Company was established with two prime exploration goals:

    1. To explore for large scale porphyry gold deposits
    1. To explore for an epithermal gold deposit, the scale of which would encourage reactivation of the gold processing plant at the Shamrock Mine.

Once shareholders funds became available, the Company moved to establish and implement the requirements for active exploration. An exploration team was assembled and a field office was established at the inactive Shamrock minesite.

A large amount of data in disparate locations was coflected for compilation and analysis. This data included geological reports, geophysical and geological drillhole logs, minesite geology reports, field reports, maps, student theses etc. The data has largely been compiled in one readily retrievable, computerised database linked to a Geographical Information System ("GIS"). The Database-GIS is a powerful tool, which provides access to all previously gathered information. Additional exploration results are progressively added to the database as they become available.

The Database-GIS has enabled the Company to rank its exploration targets on the basis of previous knowledge, prospectivity and likely success in meeting the two prime exploration goals.

Two priority targets, Elginvale (a large porphyry deposit) and Manumbah (a previously mined epithermal deposit), have been defined and preliminary drifling has been undertaken. Both targets have provided further indications of significant mineral systems being present, including some high grade intersections, but an economic gold orebody has so far eluded our exploration efforts. Further detailed work is planned to better identify local deposit controls.

A further six priority areas from 18 exploration opportunities have been identified for further analysis and exploration. This programme will be progressively undertaken.

Corporately, the Company's major shareholder, Gympie Gold Limited (25%), has had Receivers and Managers and, subsequently, Liquidators appointed to it following a fire at its Southfand Colliery in late December 2003. The shares, some of which are held in escrow until August 2005, are presently held by the Gympie Gold Limited Receivers and Managers. Your Company has been investigating ways that this issue could be resolved in the best interests of all D'Aguilar Gold shareholders.

Your company has also instituted all of the Australian Stock Exchange "Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations" to be effective in the 2005 financial year.

D'Aguilar Gold is now established and is exploring its large exploration tenement portfolio. Your Company is soundly placed to maximise its knowledge base and to increase the prospectivity of its identified deposits.

Corporate

uring the year the Company $\bm{\omega}$ completed a \$4 million raising and listed on the ASX. The listing was achieved with the assistance and backing of Gympie Gold Limited. Unfortunately, Gympie was placed in receivership in January 2004 after a catastrophic fire irretrievably destroyed Gympie's coal mine in the Hunter Valley. D'Aguilar has been investigating various strategies to have Gympie's 25% interest in D'Aguilar managed in the best manner for D'Aguitar shareholders. D'Aguilar expended some \$2,000,000 on exploration activities during the year, pursuing the potential of the D'Aguilar Block for bulk mineable and high grade vein styles of mineralisation. Approximately 70% of the expended funds were spent directly on "in ground" exploration activities. This included the completion of three drilling programs for a total of 7,468 metres of drifling.

In December 2003, the Company completed a 1:2 pro-rata issue of options at 1 cent per option raising \$286,560.

D'Aguilar Gold Project Summary

The D'Aquilar Gold Project covers approximately 3,000 km2 of exploration. ficences and applications, and mining feases (552 ha) in the Kilkivan area west of Gympie in south east Queensland (Figure 1). The area is highly prospective for bulk mineable style disseminated gold ore bodies of the intrusive related class and related high grade gold and base metal sulphide vein systems. The area is 50km west of the highly productive 3.7 million ounce Gympie goldfield.

The project area is centred on D'Aguilar's wholly owned treatment plant, a 150,000 tonne per annum carbon in pulp ("CIP") plant on care and maintenance at the Shamrock Mine site. The plant has previously produced approximately 60,000 ounces of gold.

Ore from Manumbar appears remarkably similar to ores from other important Queensland epithermal gold deposits.

Figure 1: Tenement Locations

GUILAR

The D'Aguilar Block is a Palaeozoic aged structural block of metamorphic rocks which has been uplifted between the Esk Trough to the west and the Gympie Block to the east. Late Triassic aged intrusive rocks in the D'Aguilar Block formed porphyry and intrusive related mineralised bodies and related base metal sulphide and precious metal ore zones. The project area is characterised by a set of northwest and northeast fracture zones which D'Aguilar believes have been important structures controlling the emplacement of these ore zones. D'Aguilar believes the entire project area has broad geological similarities to the highly mineralised Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales which hosts a number of large mineralised intrusive related porphyry systems. The exploration techniques which the Company is adopting are therefore broadly similar to the techniques employed in the Lachlan Fold Belt.

Kilkivan, located at the centre of the D'Aguilar Gold Project area was the focation of the first discovery of gold in Queensland, based on coarse, easily accessible, visible gold and quartz reefs. Gold complexed with sulphide minerals was encountered in some reefs at depth and was not treatable by the early miners in the 1890's. The combined effects of fack of capital, water influx, two world wars and small and disjointed tenures discouraged large

regional exploration programs. In spite of this, approximately 200,000 ounces of gold has been mined from the area from relatively small outcropping ore bodies and alluvials. Historic occurrences of what is now known to be disseminated gold in porphyry intrusions confounded the early miners and these prospects now form the basis for D'Aguilar's regional exploration effort.

Exploration Summary

The Company's strategy is to explore the D'Aguilar Block for bulk tonnage intrusive related gold orebodies and the definition of at least 300,000 oz in resources that could be processed by recommissioning D'Aguilar's 150,000 tpa carbon in pulp gold treatment plant.

D'Aguilar has constructed a detailed multilayer data base which combines all historical mining, geology, geochemical and geophysical data which may be accessed and interrogated at any scale. New results and knowledge is added as it becomes available. The work on the database has yielded several high priority targets primarily defined by geology, aeromagnetics and gold geochemistry.

The Company has been able to reprioritise exploration targets. Eighteen project areas were defined and six were selected for priority programs to define drill targets (Figure 1). Several new exploration ficences were applied for over those areas. The D'Aguilar project area now totals over 3,000 km2 of exploration licences and 552 hectares of granted mining leases.

The principle features emerging from D'Aguilar's work to date are:

  1. A zone of intrusive related prospects supported by strong gold copper and

gold chemistry, intrusive porphyries and strong magnetic highs along the edge of the Esk Trough/D'Aguitar Block boundary. The Elginvale Project Area exemplifies this style.

    1. Volcanic-filled basins prospective for epithermal gold at Manumbar, Sawpit Creek and north west of Kilkivan. A cresent shaped zone of mercury anomalism over 25km2 west of Kilkivan in the Esk Trough is also thought to be prospective for epithermal gold at depth.
    1. Porphyry gold copper prospects around intrusive complexes through the D'Aguilar Block at:
  • w Woolooga, Gibraltar and Glastonbury
  • w Long Tunnel One Mile
  • Black Snake
  • w Teewoo
  • m Kabunga.
    1. Very strong zones of gold mineralisation in the basement metamorphics of the West Mary zone south of Gympie.

Manumbar Gold Prospect

The Manumbar Epithermal Gold Prospect is focated 30km south of the operations base at the Shamrock mine site. The geological similarity between Manumbar and the well-known Queensland epithermal gold deposits at Cracow (Newcrest 70%, 1.8 million oz) and Vera Nancy (Newmont, 3.5 million oz) underscores the potential at Manumbar for the discovery of in excess of one million ounces of gold, in a system over five kilometres strike fength.

Manumbar is a calcite-rich epithermal gold vein emplaced in Triassic aged andesite volcanic rocks, discovered in the 1990's by stream sediment gold exploration. Manumbar produced ap-

GUILAR

proximately 49,000 ounces of gold from three shallow open pits at a mined diluted grade of approximately five grams of gold per tonne. The ore was treated through D'Aquilar's Shamrock Treatment Plant. D'Aquifar has developed a model for the emplacement of gold at high grades in the bonanza silica hosted zones which were interpreted to lie at depth in the Manumbar system.

Several key controls for the occurrence of wide veins and high grades in this model were identified:

    1. A brittle andesite lava host.
    1. A flexure in the structure hosting the vein.
    1. Presence of adularia, a diagnostic potassium feldspar mineral.
    1. Mineralisation with a high gold to silver ratio.

To date, the drifting at Manumbar has confirmed the continuity of the system and identified the top of the prospective silica zone but has not yet identified high grade extensions to the previously mined ore zones. The Company believes that this is due to the absence

of favourable brittle host rocks in the majority of the drill tested sections.

In September 2004. D'Aquilar commenced a review to determine the key vectors to economic mineralisation prior to further drilling activities. The exploration work at Manumbar and evidence from the Cracow deposit established that the presence of a brittle host andesite lava is most important for the emplacement of a gold-rich vein.

At Manumbar this favourable host rock (andesite lava) is much more magnetic than the other andesite volcanic rock types. Detailed magnetic data should therefore provide a means of tracking favourable host rocks. A ground magnetic survey covering some 250 line kilometres over a nine square kilometre area around the historic Manumbar mine site is in progress. It is envisaged that this survey will be ultimately modelled in three dimensions and will provide more definitive quidance for future drilling at Manumbar.

During the year D'Aguilar drifled nine holes at Manumbar for 2,624 metres of driffing, returning the results shown in Table 2.

Previous CRA Limited drillholes MB43 and MB44 were assaved by D'Aquilar in zones not previously analysed by CRA. The analysis discovered additional zones of mineralisation parallel to the main zone.

The most encouraging results were returned in drifthole DP028, where the North Lode vein was intersected at approximately 60 metres below surface with highly encouraging grades averaging 7.65 g/t over a true width of 4.2 metres from 94 metres downhole, including 1 metre @ 19.65 g/t gold and 1 metre @ 11.2 g/t gold on the margins of the vein. The vein was a typical Manumbar style calcite dominant vein.

The work to date at Manumbar has provided considerable encouragement for the discovery of a significant resource. Drilling has intersected highgrade mineralisation at similar frequency to early stage exploration activities by other companies at Cracow.

The key conclusion is that the vein is best developed in brittle lava variants of the ubiquitous andesite host. This establishes the importance of the

planned ground magnetic survey to determine the coincident location of the fracture system and brittle host. To date, at Manumbar, the vein system shows potential for approximately five kilometres of strike length and if it is all similarly mineralised at the same abundance of gold bearing shoots as was previously mined, it would provide a valid target sufficiently large to offer potential for the discovery of a resource which could justify a development.

Several key targets for follow up at Manumbar are evident and will be investigated further during the September and December 2004 quarters (Figure $2).$

A bulk mineable intrusive model for gold in the D'Aguilar Block - Esk Trough

« Eiginvale Buik Tonnage Target

D'Aquilar's new regional database has refined the bulk-mineable intrusive related gold model to explain the occurrence of significant mineralised systems along the east side of the Esk Trough and west side of the D'Aguilar Block.

The discoveries in New South Wales over the fast decade of bulk mineable style copper-gold deposits by Newcrest Mining at Cadia-Ridgeway (44 million tonnes $@$ 2.5 g/t gold and 0.82% copper) and discoveries by North Ltd at North Parkes and Lake Cowal demonstrate the potential of this style of target. Cadia Ridgeway, North Parkes and Lake Cowal occur adjacent to similar geological structures to those occurring in the northern D'Aguilar Block. D'Aguilar believes the broad structural similarities and the suite of granodiorite and porphyry rocks at Elginvale to be the key to the bulk mineable exploration strategy.

Elginvale was originally defined by CRA in 1991 as a north-south trending zone some 2.5 km long and 400 metres wide and strongly anomalous in copper and gold. The mineralised zone is open to the south and coincident with a zone of

medium sized and intense aeromagnetic anomalies that arise from porphyries emplaced in a thick volcanic unit.

During the year D'Aguilar drilled five holes for 1,807 metres across the southern part of the anomaly and outlined a zone of gold mineralisation associated with a diagnostic potassic alteration zone at least 80 metres wide. D'Aguilar has identified a broad correlation between enhanced gold grades and potassic alteration styles which indicates significant potential for a bulk mineable orebody at depth.

At the time of writing, many assays are still outstanding, but results to date include highs up to 18 grams per tonne in potassic altered quartz and sulphide veins showing free gold within wide, low grade zones. For example:

  • $\text{W}$ 19 metres from 100 metres $@$ 1.07 $g/t$ gold including 0.4 metre $@$ 18 g/t in DP029
  • $\text{W}$ 54 metres $\textcircled{c}$ approximately 0.2 g/t gold from surface and $0.8$ m $@$ 16

g/t from 181 metres and 4 metres @ 1 g/t from 337 metres in DP033

  • 5 metres @ 1.4 in DP034
  • 11 metres @ 0.63 from 1 metre and 21 metres @ 0.69 from 39 metres in DP035.

Elginvale and several promising similar prospects in the same zone are developed in Triassic aged highly oxidised diorite intrusive bodies. Triassic aged intrusives are a key element of the rock suite at the Mt Rawdon project operated by Equigold some 100 km to the north. Other prospects in this trend include Ollenburgs, focated four kilometres south of Elginvale; Gallangowan ten kilometres to the north east and the King Creek, Kinbombi and Peenam prospects to the north.

Shamrock, Mt Clara and Tablelands

In addition, drilling was conducted at the Shamrock, Mt Clara and Tablelands prospects for a total of 3,038 metres, without exploration success.

Manumbar East Pit

Potential Lateritic Nickel Resources

'AGUILAR

Nickel-cobalt rich laterites have developed in the weathered zones of serpentinite rocks of the D'Aquilar Block, in one deposit focated three kilometres east of the Shamrock Gold Plant, a non-JORC resource of 100,000 tonnes @ 1.2 % nickel and 0.11% cobalt was outlined by previous workers. Frequent highly anomatous nickel values up to 0.2 % in sheared serpentinite bedrock highlights the nickel potential of the area. D'Aguilar intends to evaluate the known resource area to confirm its size and grade and review the potential of the balance of the project area for additional targets.

Andurambah Molybdenum - Tungsten Project

During investigation of sources of geological information for entry into the regional D'Aquitar Block database, D'Aguilar identified open exploration ground over the Andurambah Molybdenum Project 100 kilometres north-northwest of Brisbane. D'Aguilar applied for an exploration permit over an area of 308 km2 covering the project. Andurambah contains a resource of 20 Mt at a grade of 0.07% molybdenum or 8 Mt at a grade of 0.11% molybdenum. The resource was defined by CRA in 1969 and upgraded by BHP between 1981 and 1983. The resource has a waste to ore ratio of approximately 1.4:1 and occurs in a granite host.

D'Aguilar's interest in Andurambah is based on several geological and market factors:

» Molybdenum prices have recently risen strongly to US\$19 per pound (approximately A\$59,000 per tonne), driven largely by the increase in specialty steel alloy consumption.

  • m There is additional exploration upside for the tungsten and silver at Andurambah.
  • m Other exploration targets are evident in the database.

D'Aguilar is currently assessing the exploration potential identified and is evaluating the potential project economics, and market dynamics for molybdenum and tungsten.

Solomon Islands Gold Project

Australian Resource Management (ARM) Pty Ltd (D'Aquilar's wholly owned subsidiary) holds project areas over highly prospective porphyry targets on the main island of Guadalcanal in Solomon Islands. The project area is located on the Pacific Rim of Fire, south of the world-class Panguna copper

deposit on Bougainville in Papua New Guinea and exhibits similar geological features. No work is planned on these project areas until law and order is restored to Solomon Islands.

Prior to its acquisition by D'Aguilar, ARM expended in excess of A\$3.5 million and outlined several prospects containing base and precious metal porphyry targets.

Promising exploration targets include:

  • World-class porphyry deposits of the Southwest Pacific Copper-Gold style similar to Panguna on Bougainville and Ok Tedi in Papua New Guinea.
  • Epithermal gold deposits of the Gold Ridge style, which can contain upwards of two million ounces of gold.

Previous work by ARM has brought one large copper-gold porphyry deposit

  • the Mbetifonga caldera, located only some 8km from the capital of Honiara. to a stage where evaluation drilling for bulk mineralisation can be planned during the next follow-up exploration program. Results to date from activities conducted by ARM in 1997 include a channel sample result of approximately 100 metres at 2.5% copper in a trench centred in a copper in soils anomaly exceeding 0.1% copper over an area of approximately 6km2.

During the year these tenements were kept on a care and maintenance basis pending an improvement in the operating conditions in Solomon Islands. ARM has renewed the tenements and expects to conduct further field activities on the project in the 2005 financial year.

In the context of director independence, "materiality" is considered from boththe company and the individual director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal or less than 10% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered included whether a

relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question to shape the direction of the Company's foyalty.

At the date of this report:

In accordance with the Council's definition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following directors are considered to be independent at the date of this report:

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

ecommendations 9.2 and 2.4 $\prod$ require fisted entities to establish remuneration and nomination committees. During the year ended 30 June 2004, D'Aquilar Gold Ltd did not have separately established remuneration or nomination committees. The full Board carried out the functions of remuneration and nomination committees during the reporting period. Subsequent to 30 June 2004, the board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee, which will meet at least annually to:

  • » Discharge the Board's responsibilities in relation to remuneration of the Company's executives, and
  • Determine the state of director nominees for election to the Board, to identify and recommend candidates to fill casual vacancies.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee comprises all five non-executive directors.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board. It is the Board's responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the

entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial information as well as non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators. The Board has delegated the responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and ethical standards for the management of the consolidated entity to the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

GUILAR

The Committee also provides the board with additional assurance regarding the reliability of financial information for inclusion in the financial reports. All members of the audit committee are non-executive directors.

The members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee at the date of this report are:

  • * Vincent Mascolo
  • Brian Moller
  • BE Damien Reynolds.

While Messrs Moller and Reynolds where members of the committee during the reporting period, Mr Mascolo. was appointed since 30 June 2004. Recommendation 4.3 requires that the composition of audit committees comprise a majority of independent directors and that the committee have

at least three members. During the year ended 30 June 2004, D'Aquilar Gold Ltd did not satisfy these requirements, due to having only two members and one of those members, Mr Moller, was not considered to be independent when applying the Council's definition in independence.

For additional details of directors' attendance at Audit and Risk Management Committee meetings and to review the qualifications of the members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, please refer to the Directors' Report.

Performance

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee considers remuneration and nomination issues annually and otherwise as required in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Board.

The performance of the board is reviewed annually and otherwise as required in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Board by the Chairman against both measurable and qualitative indicators. The performance criterial

against which directors and executives are assessed is aligned with the financial and non-financial objectives of D'Aquilar Gold Limited.

Remuneration

It is the Company's objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team by remunerating director and key executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant and employment market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the Boardlinks the nature and amount of executive director's and officer's emoluments to the company's financial and operations performance. The expected outcomes of the remuneration structure are:

  • Retention and Motivation of key executives
  • * Attraction of quality management to the Company
  • Performance incentives which allow executives to share the rewards of the success of D'Aguilar Gold Limited.

For details on the amount of remuneration and all monetary and non-monetary components for each of the five highest paid (non-director) executives during the year, and for all directors, please refer to the Directors' Report and also to Note 19 to the Financial Statements. In relation to the payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the board, having regard to the overall performance of D'Aguilar Gold Limited and the performance of the individual during the period.

There is no scheme to provide retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation, to non-executive directors.

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors themselves, subject to the Company's constitution and prior shareholder approvals, and the executive team. As noted above, the Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001

The financial report has been prepared on an accruais basis and is based on the historical cost convention of accounting and does not purport to show current values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-ourrent assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated

The financial report covers the Economic Entity of D'Aguilar Gold Ltd and controlled entities, and D'Aguilar Gold Ltd as an individual Parant Entity. D'Aquitar Gold Etd is a public company, incorporated and dominited in Australia.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The ability of the Economic Entity to continue to adopt the going concern assumption will depend on a number of issues including. The successful raising, in the future, of recessary funding, sales of product and the support of creditors

No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets or recorded amount of fiabilities should the Company's plans not eventuale

(a) Principles of Consolidation (Consolidation)

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by the Company. Control exists where the Company has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with the Company to achieve the objectives of the Company. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 21 to the financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the Economic Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Economic Entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

(b) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure inquired 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 which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economicality 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 ateans made

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 reperves

A requiar 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.

Employees Benefits Employees w.

(i) Salaries, Wages, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave

Liabilities for salaries, wages and annual leave are recognised, and are measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus on-costs. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment Communication of the Communication of the Communication of the Communication

Property, plant and equipment are brought to account on the cost basis, less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation or amortisation. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated over their useful life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Properties held for investment purposes are not subject to depreciation. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The manuscription

The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are: "William to

The gain or loss on disposal of all fixed assets, including revalued assets, is determining as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds of disposal, and is included in the profit from ordinary activities before income tax of the Company in the year of disposal. Any realised revaluation increment relating to the disposed asset which is encluded in the asset revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings at the time of disposal.

The economic entity adopts the hability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profil from ordinary addivities adjusted for any permanent differences. The contribution of the contribution

Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting periods in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of accounting profit and taxable income are brought to account as either a provision for deterred income tax or as a future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable. The manufacturer

Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless there is virtual certainty of realisation of the benefit.

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 legistation and the anticipation that the economic 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.

Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structure, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Estimates of future costs are reassessed at least annually. Changes in estimates relating to areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase are dealt with retrospectively, with any amounts that would have been written off or provided against under the accounting policy for exploration and evaluation immediately written off.

Ŵ Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity.

A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased property, without transferring the legal ownership, and operating leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits.

Where assets are acquired by means of finance feases, the present value of manmum lease payments is established as an asset at the beginning of the lease term and amortised on a straight line basis over the expected economic life. A corresponding liability is after established and each lease payment is allocated between such liability and interest expense. Operating lease payments are charged to expense on a basis which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased property.

na za Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

(a) Contingent Assets - Provision for Renabilitation Costs

The Company has conducted an extensive review of the environmental status of the Minimo Leases with a view to making an assess ment of the appropriate provision it should make in its accounts for future liabilities in respect of rehabilitation and restoration.

in the course of this exercise, advice was received from different parties providing estimations on the potential costs for future rehabilitation and restoration. Based on this information, the Company has made provision in its accounts in respect of these contingent Habilities (\$1.800,000).

The Company also has the benefit of an indemnity from Maxe-teo Australia Limited in respect of tiabilities in respect of facts or circumstances arising to 30 October 2001, when Western Pacific Gold Inc acquired O'Aguilar from Maxe-tec. Maxe-tec disputes its liability under this indemnty. In the event that at some future time the Company is required to discharge these habilities it intends to call upon Maxe-teo to perform under the indemnity. If Maxe-teo fails or refuses to perform, the Company may be required to enforce the indemnity.

The Directors have also taken steps to enter into agreements with third parties to accept responsibility for a portion of the present liability of the company in respect of the rehabilitation costs. Pursuant to Deeds entered into in May 2003 between the Company and Interests associated with three of the Directors of the Company ("the Bondholders"), the Bondholders have agreed to assume the responsibility for the discharge of \$1,300,000 in total of the environmental liability and restoration obligations of the Company in respect of its mining leases. The Deeds may be ferminated by the Bondholders after 31 December 2004 by holice to the Company.

Samuel Capital Limited has taken \$500,000 of Bonds and is an entity associated with Mr Mathen, a director. Vincent Mascolo and Damien Reynolds, both directors of the Company, have taken \$400,000 of the Bonds, respectively,

Impacts of Adopting Austriaian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ROCKET

Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") will be adopted in the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2006 and the comparative information presented in that report for the year ended 30 June 2005, in preparation for the transition, spering balances as at 1 July 2004 for the comparative year ending 30 June 2005 will be converted to AIFRS in accordance with new accounting standard AASB 1"First Time Adoption of Australian Financial Reporting Pronouncements".

D' Aquitar Gold Ltd's management are assessing the significance of these changes and preparing for their implementation. The Audit and Risk Management Committee will oversee and manage the Company's transition to IFRS. The board has authorised ongoing training courses for members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee (where appropriate) and will also provide access to selected appropriately skilled consultants where necessary to ensure the successful implementation and transition to IFRS. We will seek to keep stakeholders informed as to any material impact of these new standards as they are finalised.

The key differences in accounting policy that may arise from the adoption of AIFRS are listed below.

Income Tax

AASB 112 "income Tax" requires all income tax balances to be calculated using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method Deferred tax items will be calculated by comparing the difference in carrying amounts to tax bases for all assets and liabilities and multiplying this by the lax rates expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability settled. Recognition of the resulting amounts are subject to some exceptions, but generally deferred tax balances must be calculated for each item in the state ment of financial position. Deferred lax assets will only be recognised where there exists the probability that future taxable profit will be available to recognise the asset.

The application of AASB 112 "income Tax" should not result in any significant adjustment to either tax assets and liabilities or net profit militarium

Property, Plant & Equipment

Under AASB 116 "Property Plant & Equipment" an impairment test is required when there is an indication that impairment exists by reference to internal and external market factors. Any fiem of property, plant and equipment which is impaired must be written down to its recoverable amount. The amount of the impairment write down for assets carried at cost will be expensed through the statement of financial performance.

ttems of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value will still be carried at fair value, however the offsets of balances in the asset revaluation reserve under the new standards will be determined on an "asset by asset" basis rather than the current "class by class" treatment. This means that a change to profit or loss will occur where an impairment write down is necessary and there is no existing balance for that asset in the asset revaluation reserve.

All consolidated entity assets of property plant and equipment assets are tested to ensure the carrying amount to less than recoverable and write downs are made to reflect losses arising.

Share Based Fayments

The entity currently engages in the practice of allocaling to its employees share options as part of their remuneration packages under the employee share option plan. AASB 2 "Share Based Payments" require that these payments and also payments made to other counterparties in return for goods and services shall be measured at the more readily determinable tair value of the good/service or the fair values of the equity instrument. Under the new standards this amount will be expensed in the statement of financial performance. Where the grant date and the vesting date are different the total expenditure calculated will be aflocated between the two dates taking into account the terms and conditions attached to the instruments and the counterparties as well as management's assumptions about probabilities of payments and compliance with and attainment of the set out terms and conditions

Business Combinations Company . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

AASB 3 "Business Combinations" mandates that discounts on acquisition will no longer be allocated over the non-monetary assets of the entity. Instead a discount on acquisition will be recognised in profit and loss as income.

This standard has retrospective application however the exemption provisions in AASB 1 "First Time Adoption of Australian 11111 International Financial Reporting Pronouncements" allows the prospective application of the standard from the time of initial adoption of the standards. If the exemption in AASB 1 is not applied this will result in the entity reinstating the balances of prodwill and non monetary items in relation to its acquisitions for all business combinations effected from 30 July 2003 to the date of adoption of the new standards and adjusting refamed earnings by those amounts. Any reverse acquisition situations will also then be accounted for accordingly and will result in an altered consolidated entity column for reporting purposes. The directors propose to utilise this exemption and will not retrospectively apply this standard.

Exploration Expenditure

Until such time as the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) completes an extractive industries IFRS, the IASB has determined that national accounting standards will be grandfathered. Therefore, the Consolidated Entity will continue to apply the requirements of AASB 1022: Accounting for the Extractive Industries. The manufacturer

independent audit report

Independent audit report to members of D'Aquilar Gold Ltd and Controlled Entities

Scope

"he financial report and directors' responsibility

The financial report comprises the statement of financial position. statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements. and the directors' declaration for both D'Aguilar Gold Ltd (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Consolidated entity), for the year ended 30 June 2004 The Consolidated entity comprises both the Company and the entities it controfled during that year.

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Audit approach

We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgment, selective testing, the inherent limitations

of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot quarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.

We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. including compliance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company's and the Consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations and cash flows.

We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:

  • examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and
  • assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.

While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.

Audit opinion

In our opinion, the financial report of D'Aquilar Gold Ltd and Controlled Entities is in accordance with:

the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • s giving a true and fair view of the Company's and Consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2004 and of their performance for the year ended on that date
  • » complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations 2001, and
  • » other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia.

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

Without qualification to the opinion expressed above attention is drawn to the following matter. As set out in Note 1 the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern. basis. The ability of the Economic Entity to maintain continuity of normal business activities and to pay its debts and when they fall due is dependent upon the success of capital raising.

No adjustments have been made to the carrying value of assets or recorded amount of liabilities should the Company's plans not eventuate.
