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.

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.

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.

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.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Energy Metals Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
