DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The names of the Directors in office during the half-year and at the date of this report are as follows. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated:

Yusheng Cai (Non-executive Chairman) Weidong Xiang (Managing Director) Lindsay George Dudfield (Non-executive Director) Jan Macpherson (Non-executive Director, appointed 1 March 2017) Yu Zhong (Non-executive Director) Zimin Zhang (Non-executive Director) Junmei Xu (Non-executive Director)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The group reported a net loss of $581,893 for the half-year ended 30 June 2017 (2016: a consolidated net loss of $179,026).

Energy Metals is a dedicated uranium exploration company with eight projects located in the Northern Territory (NT) and Western Australia covering over 3,400 km². Most of the projects contain uranium mineralisation discovered by major companies in the 1970’s, including the advanced Bigrlyi Project, located in the prospective Ngalia Basin (NT). Bigrlyi is characterised by relatively high uranium grades (with vanadium credits) and excellent metallurgical recoveries.

Exploration activities performed during the period were to a sufficient level to maintain the company’s tenements in good standing.

Bigrlyi Joint Venture (EME 53.3%)

The Bigrlyi exploration camp remained on a care and maintenance footing in 2017 with minor exploration works conducted in the half-year.

Ngalia Regional Project (EME 100%)

During the half-year planning was completed for electrical and electromagnetic geophysical surveys aimed at targeting buried uranium mineralisation in a number of prospective areas. The company entered into a contract in conjunction with Geoscience Australia, the Federal Government’s geological survey, to acquire aerial electromagnetic data over the eastern Ngalia Basin. The targets include extensions to the Malawiri and Cappers deposits as well as new prospective areas. The survey will be flown in the second half of 2017 with final results available in early 2018.

Malawiri Joint Venture (EME 52.1%)

Following last year’s drilling program at the Malawiri deposit, which resulted in discovery of a new high-grade uranium zone, the company has undertaken preparations for an initial JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate for the Malawiri deposit. The estimation work will commence in the second half of 2017.

Walbiri Joint Venture (EME 41.9%)

The Walbiri deposit remained on a care and maintenance footing for the current half year.

Western Australia

The company’s strategy is to maintain tenure over its Western Australian uranium deposits with minimum expenditure until economic and political conditions improve. Four projects are covered by granted Retention Licences and in 2017 the company applied to convert its Exploration Licence over the Manyingee East deposit to a Retention Licence.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR REPORT

Statement of compliance

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB134 ‘ Interim Financial Reporting’ . Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards IAS 34 ‘ Interim Financial Reporting’ . The half year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s 2016 annual financial report for the year ended 31 December 2016,except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.

NOTE 2: NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

The group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half - year.

AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards-Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised losses

The group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 112 Income taxes to clarify:

  • unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument’s holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use.

  • The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probably future taxable profits.

  • Estimate for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

  • An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilization of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type.

The application of these amendments has had no impact on the group’s consolidated financial statements.

AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107

The group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flow require entities preparing financial statements in accordance with Tier 1 reporting requirements to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.

The application of these amendments has had no effect on the group’s consolidated financial statements.

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Energy Metals Limited, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year ended on that date, 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 end of the half-year or from time to time during the half-year as set out on pages 3 to 14.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Energy Metals Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

In conducting our review, 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 Energy Metals Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
