1. Letter From the Chairman

The past year saw markets endure a difficult macroeconomic environment with pronounced volatility and continuing uncertainty about the health of major economies. That said, the growth in demand for raw materials in China continued to provide a favourable environment for investment in resource projects and the Company has made good progress on several important fronts.

I am pleased to report another robust year for the Company with the management team, lead by Justin Brown, delivering significant milestones in relation to the two key projects at Butcherbird and Peak Hill. The Company's activities were funded without debt and with minimal dilution which is a real credit to Justin and his team.

We saw some change at Board level, with our esteemed founding Chairman Denis O'Meara retiring, giving me the opportunity to join the team and help guide the Company through what will be an exciting phase of growth.

The Butcherbird Manganese Project continued to develop as a high quality manganese project with work through the year demonstrating the real potential of this discovery to form the basis for Montezuma's transformation from an explorer into a producer.

The copper potential at Butcherbird also continued to develop in a positive direction, with exploration during the year showing that it may well be a large copper sulphide system. Further work is planned. The Peak Hill gold project also delivered for the Company with a JORC Resource upgrade to an inventory in excess of 500,000 ounces of gold which is a great result. The board is considering various divestment strategies for the Peak Hill gold project. This is not an indictment on the Peak Hill gold potential, rather it is an indication of the quality of the Company's other projects, in particular at Butcherbird.

The Company was active on the corporate front as well. The Auvex Resources position was divested for a cash injection of close to \$3M. There was also an underwriting arrangement in respect of expiring options which saw the maximum possible amount of cash injected into the company. The Company also acquired share positions in two new listed entities Lithex Resources Ltd and Exterra Resources Ltd, a continuation of our long term strategy of funding the Company's core operations through the divestment of non core assets.

The year ahead looks to be another exciting one and we look forward to positive results as we implement our strategies on your behalf. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely Seamus Cornelius

Chairman

Review of Operations

1.1. Strategy and Objectives

The Company's primary objective continues to be achieving returns for shareholders through proactive exploration and selected strategic acquisitions which add value to the company.

We have continued to deliver on these strategic goals by capitalizing on opportunities funded through the divestment of non-core assets to inject capital into the Company

The Butcherbird manganese deposits have emerged as a potential company making opportunity, the copper potential has continued to develop and justify further investment, and the Peak Hill Project has shown its potential through a significant Resource upgrade to in excess of 500K ounces.

The hard work to date has the Company well placed to build on recent success going forward.

1.2. Exploration

1.2.1. Butcherbird (MZM 100%)

The Butcherbird Project straddles the Great North Highway approximately120km south of Newman. The land is open with sparse vegetative cover, giving good access to all areas of the licence. Montezuma acquired the project by pegging vacant ground in 2009 and has since significantly advanced both the manganese and copper potential within the Project.

Manganese

Manganese at Butcherbird occurs as a regionally extensive, gently folded, low grade basal shale unit which grades between 4 and 6% Mn. Although this formation is very extensive, the low grades and fine grained nature of the manganese suggests that this feature is unlikely to be commercially useful using conventional processing techniques.

Where this unit intersects the weathering profile, however, the manganese mineralization becomes partitioned into high grade bands within a clay waste matrix. This partitioning during weathering has results in very extensive zones of manganese distributed over at least ten separate deposits that is

amendable to low cost mining and beneficiation through conventional processing methods.

The work to date has identified ten key target areas, with a Maiden Resource Estimate for the first of these at Yanneri Ridge having been completed as detailed later in this report.

In addition to the ongoing exploration work, commercial studies on the Yanneri Ridge deposit are underway with a view to developing an export manganese business centred around this deposit.

Resource estimates for several other deposits are underway and expect to be reported to the market in the coming quarters.

RC Drilling

RC Drilling has continued with several campaigns being conducted through out the year further extending the known limits of beneficiable manganese mineralization at Butcherbird. A total of 499 holes were completed for 14,625m.

The manganese mineralization at Butcherbird is notably consistent in widths and grades and occurs over large surface areas. Complete details of the completed drilling are provided in Appendix 1, however typical intersections include:

Diamond Drilling

In addition to the RC drilling, a total of 6 PQ3 diamond core holes were completed for a total of 300m to provide material for metallurgical test-work.

The core obtained from this programme also greatly assisted with our geological understanding of the mineralization, clearly showing the high grade manganese bands interlayered with clay waste. It is this property that makes the mineralization at Butcherbird upgradable and hence commercially interesting.

Beneficiation Studies

Having confirmed the potential for large tonnages of low grade manganese mineralization with the early RC drilling programmes preliminary beneficiation assessment of RC chip samples produced positive results, returning concentrate grades of up to 37.65% Mn with favourable iron and phosphorous values.

These encouraging results were the catalyst for approving the PQ diamond programme completed later in the year which provided more representative material for analysis and for inclusion in a Scoping Study.

Following the completion for the diamond drilling programme, the core was submitted to Nagrom Laboratories in Kelmscott WA for beneficiation studies.

The first phase of the programme investigated the amenability of the material to upgrade via DMS to produce a lump product. Results from phase 1 (see summary in Table 1 below) confirmed that parts of

the resource at Yanneri Ridge can be relatively easily beneficiated to grades in excess of 35% manganese with good yields and recoveries using relatively simple beneficiation techniques.

Table 2. Lump DMS product grades and mass yields from the diamond core beneficiation studies on the Yanneri Ridge manganese deposit.

Figure 1. RC Drill chips composite 208-2, DMS Tail on left, DMS Concentrate on right.

The phase 1 test work comprised a detailed investigation of hole10DD03 to determine the optimal process pathway to derive a lump product which was then applied to the remaining core material. The process selected comprised an optimal beneficiation pathway for lump product as follows:

Trommeling of the whole rock feed to remove clay waste material and derive lump sized rock as DMS feed.

Crushing via jaw crusher.

  • Rougher (S.G. 3.0) DMS upgrade of the lump sized feed.
  • Cleaner (S.G.3.4) DMS upgrade to yield a product concentrate of medium grades and Secondary product of low grades.

Second phase processing was undertaken to investigate the amenability of the material to further upgrade through crushing of the lump product to <1mm and subsequent separation using wet tables. The results summarised in Table 3 confirm further incremental improvement at finer particle size.

The <1mm grinds of both Cleaner DMS products processed over the wet tables show increasing grades of Mn with lessening gangue grades. These products were viewed under binocular microscope and seen to comprise discrete fine crystals of high grade cryptomelane and manganite and quartzofeldspathic gangue minerals. This observation has led the Company to believe that further grinding studies using electromagnetic separation may demonstrate further upgrade of the Mn product grades, with consequent improved liberation/loss of silica, alumina and phosphorous. Work is ongoing in this area.

Mineral Resources and Exploration Targets

Following the completion of sufficient infill drilling at Yanneri Ridge, Snowden Mining Industry Consultants ("Snowden") completed a maiden estimate of the Mineral Resource (classified as an Inferred Resource) for this manganese deposit as detailed below.

Whilst grade continuity and drilling density are adequate to support an Indicated status for the Resource, the Inferred category has been applied due to the preliminary nature of the available beneficiation data at the time of the estimation. It is anticipated that the results from the more detailed metallurgical test-work on the recently acquired PQ3 diamond core samples, may support the Mineral Resource being upgraded to Indicated status at the next review.

**It should be noted that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

XTEM Survey

A regional XTEM survey was completed over the Butcherbird Project area to assist in drill targeting. The survey was commissioned following the success of the trial XTEM programme completed earlier in the year which tested the geophysical response over several known manganese occurrences within the Project area.

The XTEM system comprises a time domain airborne electromagnetic survey using a transmitter loop and receiver coil slung 30m below a helicopter. The helicopter is flown a nominal 65m above the

ground, at a speed of 45 knots. The survey also measures magnetics and ground levels. This XTEM system is well suited to detecting shallow conducting horizons.

The programme was a clear success with the results guiding the discovery of several new deposits and it will continue to assist our efforts going forward.

Copper

The maiden drilling programme at the historic Butcherbird copper mine was completed during the first Quarter of the year, with the assays returning encouraging high grade copper results from the oxide zone beneath the small scale historic shafts. Follow up deeper drilling subsequently confirmed the presence of a sulphide system at depth. A total 13 holes were completed for 1,084m

In addition to copper the results showed a clear cobalt association as well as anomalous lead and zinc in some zones. Follow up drilling is planned.

Complete assays are listed in Appendix 2, however highlights include:

10BBC14 18m @ 0.63% Cu and 859ppm Co from 154m (incluing 1m @ 2.43% Cu and 0.55% Co) 10m @ 0.82% Cu and 581ppm Co from 180m (including 3m @ 1.94% Cu and 0.12% Co) 10BB07 10m @ 0.77% Cu and 167ppm Co from 10m

Complete assays have now been received for recent RC drilling at the Butcherbird Copper Prospect. The programme was comprised XX holes for a total of YY metres and was undertaken to test the depth extension of the previously reported downhole intersection of 4m @ 6.97% Cu and 566ppm Co from 16m in hole 10BBC01.

The best results from the programme were returned from hole 10BBC014 where approximately 38m of alteration and associated copper/cobalt mineralisation was intersected, contained within an alteration envelope comprising pervasive silica replacement of the country rock and associated quartz/carbonate veining. The alteation continues to the end of the hole as the rig on site did not have the capacity to drill further with the available equipment.

In addition to the copper,

significant cobalt and silver

values were also returned at levels of significant commercial interest, representing potential credits and confirming the polymetallic nature of the deposit.

These latest results further confirm the Butcherbird copper deposit as a potentially significant new discovery with mineralisation open in all directions and follow up work will be undertaken as a matter of priority.

1.2.2. Peak Hill Mine (MZM 85-100%)

The Peak Hill Gold Mine was acquired at the beginning of the 2008 financial year from the Barrick and Rio Tinto Groups. Peak Hill is the Company's flagship project and will be the focus of the majority of planned exploration expenditure in the coming year.

Tenements

The Project is located approximately 100 km north of

Meekathara and comprises granted mining leases over the main resource areas and several prospecting and exploration licences covering the surrounding target areas for a total of approximately 211 km2.

Production History

The project has a strong gold production history having produced from four modern-era open cut pits on top of extensive historical high-grade production from underground mining in the latter part of the 19th century.

Since the 1980's, the Main, Jubilee, Fiveways and Harmony open cut operations have produced approximately 650,000 oz of gold while historically, pre-1913 production yielded around 270,000 oz. The combined ounces confirm the Peak Hill field as a +million ounce high-grade gold system.

The size and grades associated with the system to date is suggestive that the geology is conducive to additional mineralisation with further work, and underpins Montezuma's confidence in making the acquisition.

Ownership History

The history of the Peak Hill mining camp involves a string of successive owners each the subject of takeovers by progressively larger companies, until the project ended in shared ownership under Barrick and Rio Tinto.

Previous holders and operators included Grant's Patch, Forsayth, North, Plutonic, Homestake and finally Rio Tinto and Barrick Gold.

Gold production continued from 1988 until 1997 when the Barrick and Rio joint venture partners took the decision that the reserve potential was insufficient to meet their minimum size criteria and ceased operations.

Resource Upgrade

During the Quarter, the Company received Mineral Resource estimates reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2004 for the Harmony, Mainpit/Fiveways, Durack and Enigma gold deposits within the Peak Hill Project. The Mineral Resource estimates were completed on behalf of the Company by Snowden Mining Industry Consultants ("Snowden"), and combined with the Mineral Resource estimate for the Jubilee deposit completed previously by CSA Global Pty Ltd ("CSA"), enable a global Mineral Resource estimate to be presented for the Peak Hill Project.

Figure 2. Regional Geology of the Peak Hill gold field showing known deposit locations.

The Peak Hill district is located approximately 125 km north of Meekathara in the northern extent of the Murchison Goldfield in Western Australia. The Peak Hill field includes the following gold deposits: Harmony, Enigma, Durack, Windsor, Bowman, Jubilee, Slingshot, Atkins and Peak Hill. The Peak Hill project is further subdivided into Main Pit/Fiveways and Mt Pleasant. The individual projects are located within 10 km of one another as shown in Figure 2 which also shows the regional geology.

The host lithologies for the gold mineralisation comprise mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks, turbiditic metasedimentary rocks, banded iron formation and associated clastic sediments, all of which are intensely deformed and metamorphosed (Robertson et. al., 2003). Mineralisation extends up to 100 m to 300 m below surface and is open at depth in some areas.

Snowden Mineral Resource Estimates

In preparing the estimates for the Harmony, Enigma, Durack and Mainpit/Fiveways deposits, Snowden considered material within 150 m of the surface to be suitable for open pit mining and chose a reporting cut-off of 0.8 g/t Au based on similar deposits. Material below 150 m will potentially be mined from underground and has been reported at a cut-off of 2.0 g/t Au based on similar deposits. Density values of between 1.9 and 2.6 g/cm3 were applied dependant on the degree of weathering. The Combined Peak Hill Mineral Resources for Snowden's work are shown in Table 5 with the breakdown by project area in Table 8.

Table 8. Individual Mineral Resource estimates completed by Snowden for the Harmony, Enigma, Durack and Mainpit/Fiveways gold deposits.

Montezuma provided hanging wall and foot wall interpretations of the mineralisation for each project area. Snowden used multiple indicator kriging (MIK) as the estimation method due to the multiple mineralisation trends and highly skewed nature of the grade distributions. The laterite at Harmony is the exception as the grade distribution is less skewed and does not show multiple mineralisation trends. The laterite was estimated using ordinary kriging (OK).

The Peak Hill projects of Harmony, Enigma, Durack and Main Pit/Fiveways have been classified as Indicated and Inferred in accordance with the guidelines set out in the JORC Code (JORC, 2004). The sampling methods, drillhole spacing and grade continuity have been considered in the application of the resource categorisation. The absence of Measured Resources, even though there is recent previous mining, is due to the lack of QAQC data and limited density data.

Two of the projects, Harmony and Main Pit/Fiveways, have been mined previously by open pit methods to depths in excess of 100 m. All mined areas have been depleted from the reported Mineral Resources.

CSA Mineral Resource Estimates

In addition to the recent work completed by Snowden, in 2009 CSA Global Pty Ltd. ("CSA") was commissioned by the Company to undertake Mineral Resource estimates for the J2 and J3 zones at the Jubilee gold project, located 2 km north of the historic Peak Hill Mine site. In preparing the estimates (shown in Table 6), CSA used a 1 g/t Au cut off. The deposits were classified, as per the JORC Code (2004), as Inferred and Indicated.

Within the Jubilee project, white mica schist is intruded by a body of metadolerite that has a stratigraphic thickness of up to 250m. Gold mineralisation lies adjacent to both the hanging wall and footwall contacts between the metadolerite and the schist.

The J2 zone is located south of the metadolerite/schist contact with mineralisation occurring within 40 m of the contact. Regionally, gold mineralisation is associated with stratabound quartz veins, however locally the quartz can have multiple orientations. The schist dips shallowly to the west.

The J3 zone is located within the hanging wall along the northern margin of the metadolerite/schist contact. Mineralised quartz veins in the J3 zone are regionally stratabound with local minor variation. Mineralisation is more laterally extensive than at the J2 zone, and extends approximately 100 m from the metadolerite/schist contact to the northwest.

Drill holes used for this Mineral Resource estimate include: historical drill holes ranging from 1988 to 1995, with the majority of holes drilled in 1990-1995; and fifteen reverse circulation holes drilled by Montezuma in 2007 totalling 2,511m.

Gold Production

Gravity processing of old mill site material continued to yield important gold production from the Peak Hill site during the first Quarter of the year. This production wrapped up the operation.

Montezuma had in place a Tribute Mining Agreement with Resource Gold Pty Ltd ("RGL") to process suitable material from within the Project using RGL's gravity plant. All costs and environmental liabilities were carried by RGL and Montezuma received 25% of all metal produced.

Production for the year totalled of 316.51 ounces of gold and 25.54 ounces of silver, from the sale of which Montezuma received 25% of total proceeds.

RC Drilling

  • A total of 39 RC holes completed at Peak Hill for 6,696m, testing seven potential new target areas.
  • Best results include:
  • 6m @ 4.16 g/t from 38m
  • 3m @ 14.6 g/t from 8m
  • 8m @ 1.58 g/t from 8m
  • 5m @ 3.37 g/t from 102m

Table 10. Table 1: XRF assay values of DMS fractions at 3.4 SG. Analyses was performed on the >1.18mm fraction. Yield % values for each composite are calculated from mass recoveries. Composites which yielded concentrate grades >30%Mn are shown.

5 drill holes were selected for DMS test work. Each hole was further subdivided into approx 5m benches, based on geological boundaries. Each bench comprises 1m drilled intervals composited by the test lab.

Each Composite was screened at 1.18mm to separate out the fines fraction, which comprises weathered clays and finely pulverised rock material. The composites were then crushed to achieve a grain size of between 1.18mm and 6.7mm.

The feed material was run through the Dense Media Separation Cyclone at a SG. of 3.4. The DMS Concentrate material comprises rock chips with SG.'s greater than 3.4, while the DMS Tail constitutes material with SG.s lighter than 3.4.

The Concentrate and Tails were analysed using Fused Bead XRF to determine grades as reported. The fines fraction was not assayed due to the high clay contents.

All testwork was undertaken by Nagrom, with specialised equipment suited to this small scale DMS study.

Net administration expenditure incurred amounted to \$1,806,665 (2010: \$1,233,119). This has resulted in an operating loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2011 of \$3,602,100 (2010: \$5,049,048 profit).

At 30 June 2011 surplus funds available totalled \$3,398,780.

Risk Management

The board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the board.

The Group believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the board has not established a separate risk management committee.

The board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the board. These include the following:

  • Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to meet stakeholders needs and manage business risk.
  • Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year were as follows:

• During the year the Company issued 6,746,442 ordinary shares on the exercise of options to raise a total of \$1,578,139.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

No matters or circumstances, besides those disclosed at note 24, have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The Company expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the Company's operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities.

The Group aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Group are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the year under review.

REMUNERATION REPORT

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Montezuma Mining Company Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company's financial results. The board of Montezuma Mining Company Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company.

The board's policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company's performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently \$200,000). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors' interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.

Performance based remuneration

The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages.

Company performance, shareholder wealth and directors' and executives' remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholders investment objectives and directors and executives performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. At commencement of mine production, performance based bonuses based on key performance indicators are expected to be introduced. For details of directors and executives interests in options at year end, refer to note 18 of the financial statements.

Details of remuneration

Details of the remuneration of the directors, the key management personnel of the Group (as defined in AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures) and specified executives of Montezuma Mining Company Limited and the Montezuma Mining Company Group are set out in the following table.

The key management personnel of Montezuma Mining Company Limited and the Group include the directors as per page 3.

Given the size and nature of operations of Montezuma Mining Company Limited and the Group, there are no other employees who are required to have their remuneration disclosed in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of Directors

The Company's constitution provides that the number of directors shall not be less than three and not more than nine. There is no requirement for any share holding qualification.

As and if the Company's activities increase in size, nature and scope the size of the board will be reviewed periodically, and as circumstances demand. The optimum number of directors required to supervise adequately the Company's constitution will be determined within the limitations imposed by the constitution.

The membership of the board, its activities and composition, is subject to periodic review. The criteria for determining the identification and appointment of a suitable candidate for the board shall include quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement, compatibility with other board members, credibility within the Company's scope of activities, intellectual ability to contribute to board's duties and physical ability to undertake board's duties and responsibilities.

Directors are initially appointed by the full board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the Company's constitution the tenure of a director (other than managing director, and only one managing director where the position is jointly held) is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her last appointment. Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the board does not subscribe to the principle of retirement age and there is no maximum period of service as a director. A managing director may be appointed for any period and on any terms the directors think fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into, may revoke any appointment.

The board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify the formation of separate or special committees (other than an Audit Committee) at this time. The board as a whole is able to address the governance aspects of the full scope of the Company's activities and to ensure that it adheres to appropriate ethical standards.

Role of the Board

The board's primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-term shareholder value.

To fulfil this role, the board is responsible for oversight of management and the overall corporate governance of the Company including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.

Appointments to Other Boards

Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards.

Independent Professional Advice

The board has determined that individual directors have the right in connection with their duties and responsibilities as directors, to seek independent professional advice at the Company's expense. With the exception of expenses for legal advice in relation to director's rights and duties, the engagement of an outside adviser is subject to prior approval of the Chairman and this will not be withheld unreasonably.

Continuous Review of Corporate Governance

Directors consider, on an ongoing basis, how management information is presented to them and whether such information is sufficient to enable them to discharge their duties as directors of the Company. Such information must be sufficient to enable the directors to determine appropriate operating and financial strategies from time to time in light of changing circumstances and economic conditions. The directors recognise that mineral exploration is an inherently risky business and that operational strategies adopted should, notwithstanding, be directed towards improving or maintaining the net worth of the Company.

ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance

The board has reviewed its current practices in light of the revised ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with a view to making amendments where applicable after considering the Company's size and the resources it has available.

As the Company's activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the board and the implementation of any additional formal corporate governance committees will be given further consideration.

The board has adopted the revised Recommendations and the following table sets out the Company's present position in relation to each of the revised Principles.

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Montezuma Mining Company Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Montezuma Mining Company Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 27 September 2011. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Montezuma Mining Company Limited Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Montezuma Mining Company Limited ("Company" or "parent entity") as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Montezuma Mining Company Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Montezuma Mining Company Limited.

(ii) Changes in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Montezuma Mining Company Limited.

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in a jointly controlled entity or associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

(c) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the full Board of Directors.

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

(i) Royalties income

Royalty income from the Company's Tribute Mining Agreement is recognised upon receipt of payment from the Perth Mint to the miner for each delivery of gold to the Perth Mint by the miner, in accordance with the terms of the Tribute Mining Agreement.

(ii) Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial assets.

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associated operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(f) Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other shortterm and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term.

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases (note 21). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(g) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(i) Trade and other receivables

Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.

(j) Investments and other financial assets

Classification

The Company classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

(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. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Company's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Company were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

Financial assets - reclassification

The Group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the Group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Group has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.

Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities.

Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.

Details on how the fair value of financial investments is determined are disclosed in note 2.

Impairment

The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or Company of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.

If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Group's financial assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

(k) Plant and equipment

All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

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 Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the reducing balance method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term. The rates vary between 20% and 40% per annum.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

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 (note 1(g)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is Company policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

(l) Exploration and evaluation costs

Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred.

(m) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are paid on normal commercial terms.

(n) Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave

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

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(ii) Share-based payments

The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ('equity-settled transactions'), refer to note 27.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ('vesting date').

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award.

(o) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

(p) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(q) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

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 taxation authority 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 taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(r) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments. The Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements.

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.

AASB 124: Related Party Disclosures (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011)

This Standard removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities and clarifies the definition of a "related party" to remove inconsistencies and simplify the structure of the Standard. No changes are expected to materially affect the Group.

AASB 1053: Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010–2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 101, 102, 107, 108, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 119, 121, 123, 124, 127, 128, 131, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138, 140, 141, 1050 & 1052 and Interpretations 2, 4, 5, 15, 17, 127, 129 & 1052] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013)

AASB 1053 establishes a revised differential financial reporting framework consisting of two tiers of financial reporting requirements for those entities preparing general purpose financial statements:

  • Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
  • Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards Reduced Disclosure Requirements.

Tier 2 of the framework comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1, but contains significantly fewer disclosure requirements.

The following entities are required to apply Tier 1 reporting requirements (ie full IFRS):

  • for-profit private sector entities that have public accountability; and
  • the Australian Government and state, territory and local governments.

Since the Group is a for-profit private sector entity that has public accountability, it does not qualify for the reduced disclosure requirements for Tier 2 entities.

AASB 2010–2 makes amendments to Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations to give effect to the reduced disclosure requirements for Tier 2 entities. It achieves this by specifying the disclosure paragraphs that a Tier 2 entity need not comply with as well as adding specific "RDR" disclosures.

AASB 2009–12: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASBs 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119, 133, 137, 139, 1023 & 1031 and Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 & 1052] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011)

This Standard makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. The Standard also amends AASB 8 to require entities to exercise judgment in assessing whether a government and entities known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain operating segment disclosures. The amendments are not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2009–14: Amendments to Australian Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement [AASB Interpretation 14] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011)

This Standard amends Interpretation 14 to address unintended consequences that can arise from the previous accounting requirements when an entity prepays future contributions into a defined benefit pension plan.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

AASB 2010–4: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project [AASB 1, AASB 7, AASB 101 & AASB 134 and Interpretation 13] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011)

This Standard details numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to Accounting Standards arising from the IASB's annual improvements project. Key changes include:

  • clarifying the application of AASB 108 prior to an entity's first Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements;
  • adding an explicit statement to AASB 7 that qualitative disclosures should be made in the context of the quantitative disclosures to better enable users to evaluate an entity's exposure to risks arising from financial instruments;
  • amending AASB 101 to the effect that disaggregation of changes in each component of equity arising from transactions recognised in other comprehensive income is required to be presented, but is permitted to be presented in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes;
  • adding a number of examples to the list of events or transactions that require disclosure under AASB 134; and
  • making sundry editorial amendments to various Standards and Interpretations.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2010–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118, 119, 121, 132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 112, 115, 127, 132 & 1042] (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011)

This Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. However, these editorial amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the respective amended pronouncements.

AASB 2010–6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets [AASB 1 & AASB 7] (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)

This Standard adds and amends disclosure requirements about transfers of financial assets, especially those in respect of the nature of the financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. Accordingly, this Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, and AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishing additional disclosure requirements in relation to transfers of financial assets.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

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] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard makes amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a consequence of the issuance of AASB 9: Financial Instruments in December 2010. Accordingly, these amendments will only apply when the entity adopts AASB 9.

As noted above, the Group has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements from adopting AASB 9.

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.

The amendments brought in by this Standard introduce a more practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model under AASB 140: Investment Property.

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 brought in by this Standard also incorporate Interpretation 121 into AASB 112.

The amendments are not expected to impact the Group.

AASB 2010–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB 1] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards.

The amendments brought in by this Standard provide relief for first-time adopters of Australian Accounting Standards from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of transition to Australian Accounting Standards.

Furthermore, the amendments brought in by this Standard also provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either to resume presenting Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements or to present Australian-Accounting-Standards financial statements for the first time.

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

30 JUNE 2011

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

AASB 2010–10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters [AASB 2009–11 & AASB 2010–7] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 2009–11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010).

The amendments brought in by this Standard ultimately affect AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards and provide relief for first-time adopters from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their transition date.

[The amendments to AASB 2009–11 will only affect early adopters of AASB 2009–11 (and AASB 9: Financial Instruments that was issued in December 2009) as it has been superseded by AASB 2010–7.]

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group.

(s) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:

Share based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 27.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

Risk management is carried out by the full board of directors as the Group believes that it is crucial for all board members to be involved in this process. The managing director, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

As all operations are currently within Australia, the Group is not exposed to any material foreign exchange risk.

(ii) Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Given the current level of operations, the Group is not currently exposed to commodity price risk.

The Group's equity investments are publicly traded on the ASX, with the investments being made for strategic purposes identified by the Board of Directors. The price risk is monitored by the Board and evaluated in accordance with these strategic outcomes.

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2011, if the value of the equity instruments held had increased/decreased by 15% with all other variables held constant, posttax loss for the Group would have been \$542,850 lower/higher, with no changes to other equity balances, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (2010: \$374,700 higher/lower profit).

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The entire balance of cash and cash equivalents for the Group \$3,398,780 (2010: \$6,091,406) is subject to interest rate risk. The proportional mix of floating interest rates and fixed rates to a maximum of six months fluctuate during the year depending on current working capital requirements. The weighted average interest rate received on cash and cash equivalents by the Group was 7.2% (2010: 5.0%).

Sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 80 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Group would have been \$32,500 lower/higher (2010: \$22,500 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

30 JUNE 2011

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont'd)

(b) Credit risk

The Group does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

As the Group does not presently have any debtors, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group's activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group's current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The financial liabilities of the Group are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the Statement of financial position. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.

(d) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group at the balance date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group has identified only one reportable segment being exploration activities undertaken in Australia. This segment includes activities associated with the determination and assessment of the existence of commercial economic reserves, from the Group's mineral assets in this geographic location.

Segment performance is evaluated based on the operating profit and loss and cash flows and is measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies.

15. ISSUED CAPITAL (cont'd)

(e) Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Due to the nature of the Group's activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group's capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group's strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents 3,398,780 6,091,406
Trade and other receivables 113,917 63,635

(c) Information on the classification of options

For the 2010 financial year the following potential ordinary shares were antidilutive as the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the Company's shares during the year and are therefore excluded from the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share:

Number of options
2010
Options exercisable at 30 cents on or before 16 April 2011 250,000
Options exercisable at 35 cents on or before 23 July 2011 1,500,000
Options exercisable at 35 cents on or before 31 August 2011 4,500,000
Options exercisable at 35 cents on or before 30 November 2012 50,000
6,300,000

As the Group has made a loss for the year ended 30 June 2011, all options on issue are considered antidilutive and have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. This has resulted in the diluted earnings per share being the same as the basic earnings per share. These options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

27. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

(a) Employees and Contractors Option Plan

The Company provides benefits to employees (including directors) and contractors of the Company in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for options to acquire ordinary shares. The exercise price of the options granted range from 20 cents to 65 cents per option. All options granted have expiry dates ranging from 23 July 2011 to 30 November 2015.

Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights.

Fair value of options granted

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the year was 31.9 cents (2010: 10.4 cents). The price was calculated by using the Black-Scholes European Option Pricing Model applying the following inputs:

2011 2010
Weighted average exercise price (cents) 54.6 21.8
Weighted average life of the option (years) 3.17 2.71
Weighted average underlying share price (cents) 66.74 25.69
Expected share price volatility 50% 50%
Risk free interest rate 4.72% 3.49%

Historical volatility has been used as the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it assumed that this is indicative of future trends, which may not eventuate.

(b) Options issued to suppliers

As part consideration for services associated with the initial public offering of the Company and as part consideration for the acquisition of tenement interests, suppliers were issued with listed options in the Company. A total of 1,850,000 options were issued with an exercise price of 20 cents expiring on 31 August 2011.

Options granted carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company with full dividend and voting rights.

Fair value of options granted

The listed options granted are valued at the market closing price on the date that the options are allotted. There were no options issued to suppliers during the current or prior year.

Set out below are summaries of the share-based payment options granted per (a) and (b):

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 1.36 years (2010: 1.68 years), and the exercise prices range from 20 cents to 65 cents.
