Operating Results and Review of Operations for the year
Operating Results
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income shows a net loss attributable to members of \$1,682,186 (2011: \$532,043).
Review of Operations
Over the past 12 months operations have focused on Eclipses flagship project in the Ngalia basin (the Eclipse Project) and also its projects in the Pine Creek area (Pine Creek Project).
On 4th January 2012 Eclipse settled the acquisition of Central Energy Pty Ltd which has increased Eclipses landholding to over 26,300km2. The Company is in the process of a complete geological review of these tenements.
A Capital Raising was completed in June 2012. The net proceeds will be used to facilitate the company's objective to continue with its exploration activities, accommodate administrative commitments including general working capital requirements and take advantage of new opportunities as they arise.
It was ratified at the Company's General Meeting, held Monday 25th June 2012 to change the Company's name to "Eclipse Metals Limited" pursuant to Section 157(1) of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
Eclipse agreed to underwrite the Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") announced 29th June 2012 by Dourado Resources Limited ("Dourado") for a maximum amount of \$600,000.
ECLIPSE PROJECT
The Eclipse Project is located 200km northwest from Alice Springs in the Ngalia Basin. Numerous deposits are found within this basin including the Bigrlyi Deposit (Energy Metals Limited, ASX:EME). Within the Eclipse licences there are historically recorded mineral occurrences including Currinya and Mount Wedge prospects.
The company completed over 1,600 line km's of a Tempest Electromagnetic program in the Eclipse Project in late 2011. Data has been processed by the company's geophysicist and drilling programs have been designed to test conductive targets over two tenements (EL24625 and EL24637). These conductive targets may represent both structure related conductive features as well as interpreted sedimentary targets. Mining Management Plans have been submitted to the Northern Territory Government and the Central Land Council.
Eclipse has participated in the final workshop of the CSIRO Joint Surveys Uranium Ngalia Basin Project and received the final report.. The information has provided a new found understanding of uranium mineralisation within the Ngalia basin. A project review and new target generation has been conducted using this information.
Pine Creek Project
The Pine Creek Project area is comprised of 9 granted tenements and five exploration licence applications within the Pine Creek Orogen. The Pine Creek Orogen is one of the most prospective areas for uranium and multi commodity mineralisation in the Northern Territory. Eclipse holds a series of tenements located near to the Rum Jungle Mineral Field as well as more regional project areas. These tenements are considered highly prospective for uranium as well as gold, base metals and REE.
Eclipse is currently in the processes of generating a database of all historical works and results in the licences and surrounding areas. Eclipse has been liaising with the Northern Territory Geological Survey and has determined that some of the historic core (approximately 10-15 holes) is stored in their Darwin core yard. Over the last six months Eclipse completed two field trips to the Darwin region. A preliminary visit was completed to establish access and logistics requirements for the tenements as well as mapping to increase geological understanding of the area. During the trip assessment of the historical diamond core from the tenements held at the NT Geological Survey core yard was conducted.
The Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority has been commissioned to complete a sacred site clearance on three granted licences within the Pine Creek Project. This survey will allow field works including soil sampling, rock chip sampling and drilling to commence over the coming year once surveys have been completed and clearance received.
CORPORATE
Central Energy Pty Ltd
Eclipse settled the acquisition of Central Energy Pty Ltd which has increased Eclipses landholding to over 26,300km2.
The tenements span over four project areas located in the Northern Territory which complement Eclipse Metals Limited's current land holding of approximately 8,910 km2 . The projects add significant value to the exploration potential of Eclipses portfolio. The tenements hold potential for uranium, rare earths, precious and base metals within the new project areas.
Klondyke Gold Ltd
Eclipse acquired an interest in Klondyke Gold Ltd which holds a portfolio of mining and prospecting tenements situated around the town of Cue in Western Australia. The board of Klondyke believe its tenure is prospective for gold mineralisation.
This acquisition in Klondyke (a gold prospective exploration company) represents a diversification of the Company's asset base, which is considered prudent with current gold prices at historically high levels.
Significant Changes in State of Affairs
The following significant change in the state of affairs of the parent entity occurred during the financial year:
On 4 January 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares and options of Central Energy Pty Limited and its subsidiaries Whitvista Pty Limited and U308 Agencies Australia Pty Limited.
The total cost of the acquisation was \$2,800,000 and comprised an issue of 35,000,000 fully paid Ordinary shares as consideration.
Changes in controlled entities and divisions:
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the controlled entities during the financial year.

On 17 September 2012 the Company announced that it had converted the Walla Mines Limited loan of \$90,000 into 1,890,000 fully paid ordinary shares. Additionally, the Company made a further investment in Walla Mines Limited acquiring 4,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 2,500,000 options (refer note 23).

CORPORATE GOVERANCE STATEMENT
The Board of Directors of Eclipse Metals Limited is responsible for the corporate governance of the Group. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities, it has established guidelines and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance.
Corporate governance disclosures
The Board and management are committed to corporate governance and to the extent that they are applicable to the Company have followed the "Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations" issued by the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") Corporate Governance Council.
In summary, at the date of this report the Company departs from the Guidelines in three (3) key areas:
• Recommendation 2.4:
The Company does not have a separate Nomination Committee as it is not of a size nor does it have the business undertaking that warrants such a Committee; and
The full Board attends to the matters normally attended to by a Nomination Committee.
• Recommendation 3.3:
Due to the current nature and scale of Eclipse Metals Limited activities, the Company is yet to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity to report against;
• Recommendation 4.1:
The Company does not have a separate Audit and Risk Management Committee as it is not of a size, has limited resources and does not have the operating business that warrants a full Audit and Risk Management Committee;
The Company is small scale, has limited resources and does not have an operating business so it does not warrant a full Audit and Risk Management Committee;
• Recommendation 8.1:
The Company does not have a separate Remuneration Committee as it is not of a size nor does it have the business undertaking that warrants such a Committee; and
The full Board attends to the matters normally attended to by a Remuneration Committee.
The Company does not have a full time Chief Financial Officer but all assurances as to the integrity of the Financial Accounts are provided by the externally appointed Senior Accountant.
During the 2012 Financial Year the Company departed from Recommendations 2.2 and 2.3 and it was not until the 11 November 2011 that these Recommendations were able to be addressed by the Company.
- The Chairman was not an independent Director; as he is associated directly with a substantial shareholder of the Company by being an officer of the Company through a Director relationship.
- The roles of chairperson and chief executive officer were exercised by the same person.
The Company has effective 11 November 2011 appointed an Independent Non-Executive Chairperson.

• Concerning the Company that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities; and
• That would, or would be likely to, influence persons who commonly invest in securities in deciding whether to acquire or dispose of the Company's securities.

• Communicating effectively with shareholders through releases to the market via ASX, information mailed to shareholders and the general meetings of the Company;
• Giving shareholders ready access to balanced and understandable information about the Company and corporate proposals;
• Making it easy for shareholders to participate in general meetings of the Company; and
• Requesting the external auditor to attend the annual general meeting and be available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor's report.
The Company also makes available a telephone number and for shareholders to make enquiries of the Company.
Trading in Company Shares
The Company has a Share Trading Policy under which Directors are required to discuss their intention to trade in the Company's securities with the Chairman prior to trading. Consideration will be given in these discussions to any special circumstances (eg financial hardship).
Directors must not trade in the shares of any other entity if inside information on such entity comes to the attention of the Director by virtue of holding office as a Director of the Company.
The following guidelines are to be observed by Directors and employees of Eclipse Metals Limited:
• Securities may be purchased or sold during the two week period immediately following the release of Eclipse Metals Limited, half-yearly and final results ("results announcements") (subject to observing the additional approval requirements set out below).
• Securities should not be purchased or sold during the two week period preceding any results announcements.
• Securities should not be purchased or sold preceding any material ASX announcement by Eclipse Metals Limited, if the employee is aware that it is likely that such an announcement will be made.
• Securities should not be purchased or sold for the purpose of short term speculation.
• Securities may be purchased or sold at other times (subject to additional disclosure requirements established by the Board).
In addition, consistent with the law, designated officers are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities while in the possession of unpublished price sensitive information concerning the Company. Unpublished price sensitive information is information regarding the Company of which the market is not aware and that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities.
Notice of an intention to trade must be given prior to trading in the Company's securities as well as a confirmation that the person is not in possession of any unpublished price sensitive information. The completion of any such trade by a Director must also be notified to the Company Secretary who in turn advises the ASX.
The Company has developed a policy regarding directors and employees trading in its securities. The policy restricts directors and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the security's prices.
Performance Review/Evaluation
The Board intends to conduct an evaluation of its performance annually. There was no evaluation conducted during the financial year.
Attestations by Company Secretary

Board Committees

• Perform an independent overview of the financial information prepared by Company management for shareholders and prospective shareholders;

The assurances from the CEO and CFO (or equivalent) can only be reasonable rather than absolute due to factors such as the need for judgement and possible weaknesses in control procedures.
Any material changes in the Company's circumstances are released to the ASX and included on the Company's website.

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Eclipse Metals Limited (Formerly Eclipse Uranium Limited) and Controlled Entities (the "consolidated group" or "group"). The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Eclipse Metals Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 September 2012 by the directors of the company.
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under the Australian Accounting Standards.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the company and consolidated entity incurred losses of \$1,671,820 and \$1,682,186 respectively for the year ended 30 June 2012. The consolidated entity had net cash outflows from operating activities of \$1,406,226 and payments for exploration and evaluation activities of \$875,969 for the year ended 30 June 2012. Subsequent to 30 June 2012, the consolidated entity entered into the following transactions:
-
Conversion of loan receivable of \$600,000 due from Dourado Resources Limited to shares, which will be held as an available-for-sale financial asset;
-
Conversion of loan receivable of \$90,000 due from Walla Mines Limited to shares, which will be held as an available-for-sale financial asset;and - Provision of loan funding to Klondyke Gold Limited of \$650,000, in accordance with a funding agreement, further details of which are disclosed in Note 23 of the financial statements.
Furthermore, as disclosed in Note 18 of the financial statements, the consolidated entity has exploration expenditure commitments of \$706,000 and other commitments of \$80,000 for the year ended 30 June 2013.
The above factors indicate significant uncertainty as to whether the company and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
-
The ability to issue additional shares under the Corporation Act 2001 to raise further working capital;and
-
The consolidated entity has the ability to scale down its operations in order to curtail expenditure, in the event capital raisings are delayed or insufficient cash is available to meet projected expenditure.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.
Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Eclipse Metals Limited (Formerly Eclipse Uranium Limited) at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Eclipse Metals Limited (Formerly Eclipse Uranium Limited) has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the financial statements.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intragroup balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent
(b) Income Tax
The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(c) Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(f) for details of impairment).
The carrying amount of 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 that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a diminshing value basis over the asset's useful life to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
| The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate | |
| Plant and equipment | 33.33% - 50% |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(d) Exploration and Development Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditures incurred are capitalised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered 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.
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 capitalise costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided for over the life of the project from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with local laws and regulations and clauses of the permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
(e) Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified 'at fair value through profit or loss' in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at "fair value through profit or loss" when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets.
(iv) Available-for-sale investments
Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with any remeasurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are expected to be sold after 12 months from the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets.
(v) Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset has been impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a "loss event") having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).
In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.
In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.
When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset's carrying amount. Any excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(g) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.
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. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy any vesting requirements. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows attributable to employee benefits.
Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates an employee share ownership plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black–Scholes pricing model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(h) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(j) Revenue and Other Income
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.
Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(k) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as noncurrent assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(f) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.
(l) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(m) 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 Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.
(n) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
Where the Group has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement of items in the financial statements or reclassified items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
(o) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key Estimates
(i) Impairment - General
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.
Key Judgments
—
(i) Provision for Impairment of Receivables
Included in trade receivables at the end of the reporting period is an amount receivable for rental oncharges included in the previous years financial statements amounting to \$20,993. The debt has remained outstanding beyond the company's normal terms, therefore a provision for impairment has been made.
(ii) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at the end of the reporting period at \$14,041,583.
(p) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. The Group has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The Group's assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the Group but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:
— AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
These Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.
The key changes made to accounting requirements include:
- ─ simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;
- ─ simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;
- ─ removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;
- ─ removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised cost;
- ─ allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument;
- ─ requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity's business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and
- ─ requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity's own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.
The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these pronouncements on its financial statements.
AASB 2010–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012).
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes and incorporates Interpretation 121: Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into AASB 112.
Under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by selling it. The amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.
The amendments are not expected to significantly impact the Group.
— AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011), AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011) and AASB 2011–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 101, 107, 112, 118, 121, 124, 132, 133, 136, 138, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 5, 9, 16 & 17] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) and Interpretation 112: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees.
The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of this Standard on its financial statements.
AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint arrangements to be classified as either 'joint operations' (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or 'joint ventures' (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint ventures are required to adopt the equity method of accounting (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed).
AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a 'structured entity', replacing the 'special purpose entity' concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structured entities. This Standard will affect disclosures only and is not expected to significantly impact the Group.
To facilitate the application of AASBs 10, 11 and 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued. These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.
— AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 [AASB 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 2010–7, 101, 102, 108, 110, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 1004, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 131 & 132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurement.
AASB 13 requires:
- inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and
- enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and financial liabilities) to be measured at fair value.
These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.
— AASB 2011–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income [AASB 1, 5, 7, 101, 112, 120, 121, 132, 133, 134, 1039 & 1049] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2012). The main change arising from this Standard is the requirement for entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently.
This Standard affects presentation only and is therefore not expected to significantly impact the Group.
— AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011–10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) [AASB 1, AASB 8, AASB 101, AASB 124, AASB 134, AASB 1049 & AASB 2011–8 and Interpretation 14] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
These Standards introduce a number of changes to accounting and presentation of defined benefit plans. The Group does not have any defined benefit plans and so is not impacted by the amendment.
AASB 119 (September 2011) also includes changes to the accounting for termination benefits that require an entity to recognise an obligation for such benefits at the earlier of:
- (i) for an offer that may be withdrawn – when the employee accepts;
- (ii) for an offer that cannot be withdrawn – when the offer is communicated to affected employees; and
- (iii) where the termination is associated with a restructuring of activities under AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and if earlier than the first two conditions – when the related restructuring costs are recognised.
The Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these changes to AASB 119.

(b) Compensation of directors
Remuneration Philosophy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its directors and executives. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled directors and executives.
Remuneration Committee
Director Remuneration The Company does not have a formal Remuneration Committee. The full Board attends to the matters normally attended to by the Remuneration Committee.
Shareholder approval is obtained in relation to the overall limit set for directors' fees. The directors must set individual Board fees within the limit approved by shareholders.
The level of the fees is not linked to directors' performance. Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors. The maximum aggregate remuneration was approved at a meeting of shareholders on the 25 November 2011.
Further, Shareholders must approve the framework for any equity schemes and if a director is remunerated for being able to participate in an equity scheme, this participation must be approved by the shareholders.
Senior Management and Executives
Mr Del Fante and Mr Forarty held the positions of Managing Director through out the year. The company entered into an Executive Service Agreement with each of the individuals.

Credit risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 10. The class of assets described as Trade and Other Receivables is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.
The following table details the Group's trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as 'past due' when the debt has not been settled with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counter party to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.
The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

On 4 January 2012, the Company announced it had acquired the all of the issued share capital and Options of Central Energy Pty Limited ("Central") together with its 100% owned subsidiaries being Whitvista Pty Limited and U308 Agencies Australia Pty Limited.
The acquisition of Central was treated as an asset purchase. It was impractical to determine the fair value of Central using other methods; management of the Group therefore measured the purchase based upon the fair value of the shares and options issued in acquiring the company. The total cost of the acquisition was \$2,800,000 and comprised an issue of equity instruments. The Company issued 35,000,000 ordinary shares with a fair value of \$0.08 each. The fair value of the shares was based on the quoted price of the shares of Eclipse Metals Limited at the date of acquisition.

(c) Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a sustainable debt to equity ratio, generate long-term shareholder value and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.
The Group's debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The directors have considered the requirements of AASB 8-Operating Segments and the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the Board) in allocating resources and have concluded that at this time there are no separately identifiable segments.
Following adoption of AASB 8, the identification of the company's reportable segments has not changed. During the year, the company considers that it has only operated in one segment, being mineral exploration within Australia.
The group is domiciled in Australia. All revenue from external customers is generated from Australia only. Segment revenues are allocated based on the country in which the customer is located.
No operating revenue was derived during the year (2011 - nil).
All the assets are located in Australia only.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk and Market price risk.
a. Credit risk
The Group's policy is to trade only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.
It is the Group's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms will be subject to credit verification procedures.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant.
Credit Risk Exposures
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details with respect to credit risk of Trade and Other Receivables is provided in Note 10.
Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed at Note 10.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard and Poor's rating of at least AA-.

| - AA Rated | 851,189 | 2,659,179 | |
| 9 | 851,189 | 2,659,179 |
b. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
- preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities
- obtaining funding from a variety of sources
- maintaining a reputable credit profile
- managing credit risk related to financial assets
- only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions
The table below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

c. Market Risk
i. Interest rate risk The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's cash and short-term deposits. Since the Group does not have long-term debt obligations, the Group's exposure to this risk is nominal.
ii. Market price risk
Equity price risk arises from the Other financial assets. The Group monitors its investment portfolio based on market indices. Any buy sell decisions are approved by the board.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group's exposures to changes in interest rates and equity prices.
These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

The fair values disclosed in the above table have been determined based on the following methodologies:
(i) Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are short-term instruments in nature whose carrying amount is equivalent to fair value.
(ii) The loans are receivable within a six (6) months period after year end. Accordingly, the loans are not discounted and are recorded at face value.
(iii) In determining the fair values of the unlisted available-for-sale financial assets, the directors have used inputs that are observable either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:
-
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
-
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
-
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

No transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy occurred during the current or previous reporting period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ECLIPSE METALS LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year's end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Eclipse Metals Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
Opinion
In our opinion:
- (a) the financial report of Eclipse Metals Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
- (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
- (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the company and consolidated entity incurred losses of \$1,671,820 and \$1,682,186 respectively for the year ended 30 June 2012. The consolidated entity also had net cash outflows from operating activities of \$1,406,226 for the year ended 30 June 2012. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's and consolidated entity's ability to continue as going concerns and therefore, the company and consolidated entity may be unable to realise their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report contained within the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2012. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Eclipse Metals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2012 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
