Stephen B Bartrop (Director)

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The net result of operations after applicable income tax expense for the half-year was a loss of \$118,538 $(2005 - $3.790)$ .

Operational Review

During the period under review, Icon continued exploration on a number of projects as outlined below.

Professor Project (Tas) (III 100%)

Icon's major project for the half year was the Professor Project in western Tasmania. Following Zinifex's decision at the end of September 2006 not to exercise its option. Icon has commenced a series of tests to establish whether it could develop a process to extract the zinc from sphalerite bearing peat. The first series of tests indicate that the material can be usefully disaggregated with a series of high speed attritioners.

Tara (NSW) (III 100%)

Drilling by Icon at Tara in central NSW during the period revealed some prospective tin mineralisation, both in the overburden and bedrock. Many of the previous holes had either not been assayed for tin or only partially assayed and Icon is assaying relevant parts of the earlier drill core. A trial survey has indicated that the bedrock topography and alluvial channels within the cover can be mapped geophysically and this will be used to help target the next round of drilling which is now scheduled to start late March.

Hiawatha (NSW) (III 100%)

A 3D IP survey was completed at the Hiawatha prospect, central NSW (late January, 2007).

Grenfell (NSW) (III 100%)

A 3D IP survey was completed at the Grenfell prospect, central NSW.

Weabonga/Niangala, (NSW) (III 100%)

Icon flew airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys over Weabonga and Niangala in north-eastern NSW and carried out a 3D IP survey at Weabonga.

Following the Tara drilling program, the drill rig is scheduled for drill programs at Grenfell, Hiawatha and Weabonga respectively. The 3D IP geophysical surveys have defined chargeability responses potentially reflecting zones of sulphide mineralisation on all three properties and portable XRF geochemical surveys over these zones are underway to better define the drill targets.

New applications were made for sediment-hosted zinc mineralisation in north-west Queensland, based on conceptual modelling of existing geophysical datasets.

FINANCIAL

Icon completed its IPO capital raising in May/June 2006. The IPO raised just under \$4 million before expenses. The funds raised are being used to provide working capital for exploration, project generation and project enhancement as set out in the Company's IPO Prospectus dated April 2006.

NOTES TO THE HALE-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31 December 2006

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT $\blacksquare$

The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Company as the full financial report.

The half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of Icon Resources Ltd as at 30 June 2006.

It is also recommended that the half-vear financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Icon Resources Ltd during the half-year ended 31 December 2006 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

Statement of Compliance $(a)$

The half-vear financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable Accounting Standards including AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting" and other mandatory professional reporting requirements.

The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis and available-for-sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value.

For the purpose of preparing the half-year financial report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period.

The half-year financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('AIFRS'). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the half-year financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').

Basis of consolidation $(b)$

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Icon Resources Ltd (Icon or the "Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Group") as at 31 December each year.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Significant Accounting Policies $(c)$

The half-year financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2006.

No event has occurred subsequent to 31 December 2006 requiring disclosure in, or amendment to, these financial statements.

In the opinion of the directors:

Scope

The financial report and directors' responsibility

To the members of Icon Resources Ltd

The financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and accompanying notes to the financial statements for Icon Resources Ltd during the half year, and the directors' declaration for the company, for the half-year ended 31 December, 2006.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT

The directors of the company are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity, and that complies with Accounting Standard AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting", in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate records and internal controls that are deigned to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.

Review approach

We conducted an independent review of the financial report in order to make a statement about it to the members of the company, and in order for the company to lodge the financial report with the Australian Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Our review was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that the financial report is not presented fairly in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standard AASB 134 "Interim Financial Reporting" and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia. so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the entity's financial position, and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows.

A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to the financial data. These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance is

less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the company, and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor's Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors' Report.

Statement

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report of Icon Resources Ltd during the half-year is not in accordance with:

(a) The Corporations Act 2001, including

  • giving a true and fair view of the financial position of the $(i)$ entity at 31 December, 2006 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • Complying with Accounting Standards AASB 134 "Interim $(ii)$ Financial Reporting" and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and:

(b) other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia.
