Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholders
On behalf of the Board of Emergent Resources Limited (Emergent or the Company), I am pleased to present the Company’s 2013 Annual Report in what has been a year of change within the Company.
The Company, whilst retaining and continuing to develop its core Beyondie Iron Ore and Extension Gold Projects, has successfully rationalised the balance of its tenement portfolio resulting in it becoming a far more focussed and cost effective explorer.
In addition, the Company has significantly increased its technical expertise with the appointment of Executive Director, Dr Andrew Tunks. Dr Tunks brings a wealth of experience in the sourcing, reviewing, securing and developing of new mineral resource projects. Along with continuing to develop the Company’s existing assets, Dr Tunks is focussed on growing the Company through strategic investment and acquisition.
The Company has added an additional cornerstone Chinese shareholder, Advanced Endeavour Enterprises Limited whom, together with existing cornerstone shareholder, International Natural Resources, have confirmed their interest in possible additional financial backing for any investment or acquisition made by the Company. This has greatly expanded the range of projects under consideration by the Company.
In addition to the strength of its asset base and technical expertise, the Company’s cash position remains very strong with cash reserves of approximately $3,000,000.
The Board considers this a very exciting time for the Company and is looking forward to both developing its existing Projects and growing the Company through investment and acquisition.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely

Review of Operations
During the financial year the Company continued to evaluate opportunities within its current acreage portfolio and seek new opportunities both locally and abroad.
Newly appointed Executive Director, Dr Andrew Tunks, brings a wealth of experience in the sourcing, reviewing, securing and developing of new mineral resource projects. Along with continuing to develop the Company’s existing assets, Dr Tunks is focussed on growing the Company through strategic investment and acquisition.
In addition to its cash reserves of approximately $3,000,000, the Company has the support of its two major Chinese shareholders, International Natural Resources and Advanced Endeavour Enterprises Limited, who have confirmed their interest in possible additional financial backing for any investment or acquisition made by the Company. This has greatly expanded the range of projects under consideration by the Company.
The Company considers that its combination of corporate and technical expertise, significant financial backing and cash reserves at a premium to its current market capitalisation makes it ideally placed to grow through investment and acquisition and the development of its existing assets.
BEYONDIE IRON PROJECT
E52/1806 and E52/2215 (EMG – 80% Iron Ore, Vanadium and Manganese EMG)
The Beyondie Iron Project is located adjacent to the Great Northern Highway and Goldfields Gas Pipeline (Figure 1) in the northern part of WA’s mid-west iron ore precinct.
The Company has spent considerable exploration effort since 2007 on the Beyondie Iron Project with the result that the Project now comprises:
-
n Magnetite Inferred JORC Resource of 561 million tonnes grading 27.5% Fe in tenement E52/1806;
-
n Magnetite Exploration Target of 480 to 510 million tonnes grading 27.0 to 28.5% Fe in tenement E52/1806; and
-
n Magnetite Exploration Target1 of 3.7 to 4.2 billion tonnes grading 27.0 to 28.5% Fe in tenement E52/2215.
The potential quantity and grade of the above Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
Potential exists to further expand the resource base at Beyondie with exploration potential present for both Magnetite and Hematite mineralisation. The Company is currently conducting a complete a review of its very large database with a view to determining how best to expand the resource base at Beyondie.
The Company is also planning a program of laboratory work to prove up the metallurgical parameters for any possible production scenario. Because Beyondie is dominantly a Magnetite ore body magnetic separation is a key element of any process route. Initial testing shall comprise:
-
n Optimum Grind testwork: to determine the grind size at which the magnetite and deleterious elements will achieve a suitable specification for market. A range of grind sizes and off-take grades will be tested; and
-
n Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) testwork: to evaluate the grade characteristics throughout the Beyondie deposit to determine potential product characteristics and assist the compilation of a mining schedule.

EXTENSION GOLD PROJECT
E52/2559 (100% EMG)
The northeast-trending Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt (Plutonic Belt) is the sixth largest gold region in Western Australia. The gold resources identified are at least 7Moz’s, belonging to the Marymia and Plutonic Gold mines. Emergent holds EL 52/2559 at the northern end of the belt which has produced some 6 Moz’s of gold since the 1990’s (Figure 2).
Unlike southern parts of the Plutonic Belt, this northern extension has not been subject to significantly systematic or modern exploration since the early 1990’s, and lies under sand cover or shallow sediments associated with the Earaheedy and Collier Basins. Outcrop of the underlying greenstone is limited. Consequently, historic exploration in the area has been largely inadequate and has left gold targets untested with significant scope to explore using modern exploration techniques.

Figure 2: Extension Gold Project location highlighting nearby gold mines and infrastructure, the drilling target at Extension is indicated by the blue star, Note EMG relinquished EL52/2474 in July 2013.
Emergent has previously completed Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil sampling and stream sediment sampling respectively on its Extension Prospect.
The Company intends to conduct a targeted drilling program to test gold in soil Mobile Metal Ions (MMI) anomalies generated by previous exploration conducted on its Extension Gold Project (Figure 3). The gold anomalies are coincident with mineralisation intersected in previous drilling of a NE trending shear zone close to a mafic-granite contact, geological features that are prospective for gold mineralisation.
Following preparatory works, the drilling program will comprise 800-1,000 metres of RC drilling, allowing the program to test structures at depth and across lithologies. The program will consist of 3 drill sections to investigate the shear zone in the areas of highest MMI anomalism. Final planning for holes is yet to be completed but it is expected that the first hole will target the up-dip expression of an 8m at 5.3g/t Au intercept in GCM hole MD5.

ASSET REVIEW
During the reporting period, as part of a regular process, the Company’s assets were reviewed. As a result of this asset review the decision was taken to relinquish the Marble Bar, Diamond Well, Mt Bartle, Paterson, North Pool, Yibbie Range and Beyondie North Projects. Following the reporting period the Company relinquished the Extension North Project and the non-prospective areas of the Beyondie Iron Project.
Competent Persons Statement

Corporate Governance Statement
Introduction
Since the introduction of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations (“ASX Guidelines” or “the Recommendations”), the Company has sought to adopt systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. Some of these policies and procedures are summarised in this report. Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Guidelines, the Company has followed each Recommendation where the Board has considered the Recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for corporate governance practices, taking into account factors such as the size of the Company, the Board, resources available and activities of the Company. Where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from the Recommendations, the Board has offered full disclosure of the nature of, and reason for, the adoption of its own practice.
The Board of the Company is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company’s needs.
Further information about the Company’s corporate governance practices is set out on the Company’s website at www.emergentresources.com.au . In accordance with the recommendations of the ASX, information published on the Company’s website includes:

Explanation for Departures from Best Practice Recommendations
During the 2013 financial year the Company has complied with the Corporate Governance Principles and the corresponding Best Practice Recommendations as published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (“Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations”) and has adopted the revised Principles and Recommendations taking effect from reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. Significant policies and details of any significant deviations from the principles are specified below.
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 1 Lay Solid Foundations for Management and Oversight
Role of the Board of Directors
The role of the Board is to increase shareholder value within an appropriate framework which safeguards the rights and interests of the Company’s shareholders and to ensure the Company is properly managed.
In order to fulfil this role, the Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Company including formulating its strategic direction, setting remuneration and monitoring the performance of Directors and executives. The Board relies on senior executives to assist it in approving and monitoring expenditure, ensuring the integrity of internal controls and management information systems and monitoring and approving financial and other reporting.
In complying with Recommendation 1.1 of the Corporate Governance Council, the Company has adopted a Board Charter which defines the respective roles of the Board and senior management and assists in decision making processes. A copy of the Board Charter is available on the Company’s website.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013
==> picture [596 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 1 (continued) Lay Solid Foundations for Management and Oversight
Board Processes
An agenda for Board meetings is determined to ensure certain standing information is addressed and other items which are relevant to reporting deadlines and or regular review are scheduled when appropriate. The agenda is regularly reviewed by the Chairman, the Non-Executive Directors and the Company Secretary.
Evaluation of Senior Executive Performance
The Company has not complied with Recommendation 1.2 of the Corporate Governance Council. The Board qualitatively assesses the performance of the Executive Director and Non-Executive Directors on a regular basis. Because of the early stage of development of the Company it is difficult for quantitative measures of performance to be established. As the Company progresses its projects, the Board intends to establish appropriate formal, quantitative and qualitative performance evaluation procedures.
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 2 Structure the Board to Add Value
Board Composition
The Constitution of the Company provides that the number of Directors shall not be less than three. There is no requirement for any shareholding qualification.
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 the quality of the individual, background of experience and achievement, compatibility with other Board members, credibility within the scope of activities of the Company, intellectual ability to contribute to Board discussions and physical ability to undertake Board duties and responsibilities.
Directors are initially appointed by the Board and are subject to re-election by shareholders at the next general meeting. In any event a minimum of one third of the Directors are subject to re-election by shareholders at each general meeting.
The Board currently comprises five members, a Non-Executive Chairman, three Non-Executive Directors and an Executive Director. The Non-Executive Chairman is Mr Jian-Hua Sang with Mr Wolfgang Fischer, Mr Patrick Burke and Mr Sai Kit Wong as the Non-Executive Directors and Dr Andrew Tunks as Executive Director. The skills, experience and expertise of all Directors is set out in the Directors’ Report.
The Board has assessed the independence of its Non-Executive Directors according to the definition contained within the ASX Corporate Governance Guidelines and has concluded that at the date of this report two of the current Non-Executive Directors being Mr Fischer and Mr Burke meet the recommended independence criteria. Mr Sang and Mr Wong are not considered independent as they associated with substantial shareholders of the Company. As a result the Company is not in compliance with Recommendation 2.1 of the Corporate Governance Council at this time.
Independent Chairman
The Chairman Mr Sang is not an independent director and as such Recommendation 2.2 of the Corporate Governance Council has not been complied with.
Roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The role of Chairman was exercised by Mr Fischer during the financial year. Effective 21 June 2013, Mr Fischer stepped down as Chairman and remains a Non-Executive Director and existing Non-Executive Director Mr Sang was been appointed Non-Executive Chairman. The Company did not have a Chief Executive Officer during the financial year.
Nomination Committee
The Board does not have a separate Nomination Committee comprising of a majority of independent Directors and as such does not comply with Recommendation 2.4 of the Corporate Governance Council. The selection and appointment process for Directors is carried out by the full Board. The Board considers that given the importance of Board composition it is appropriate that all members of the Board partake in such decision making. The Company does not have a Nomination Committee Charter.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 2 (continued) Structure the Board to Add Value
Evaluation of Board Performance
The Company does not have a formal process for the evaluation of the performance of the Board and as such does not comply with Recommendation 2.5 of the Corporate Governance Council. The Chairman regularly assesses the performance of the Board and individual Directors on qualitative basis.
Education
All Directors are encouraged to attend professional education courses relevant to their roles and to be members of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Independent Professional Advice and Access to Information
Each Director has the right to access all relevant information in respect of the Company and to make appropriate enquiries of senior management. Each Director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense, subject to the prior approval of the Chairman, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 3 Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision Making
The Board actively promotes ethical and responsible decision making.
Code of Conduct
The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all employees, executives and Directors of the Company, and as such complies with Recommendation 3.1 of the Corporate Governance Council. This Code addresses expectations for conduct in accordance with legal requirements and agreed ethical standards. A copy of the Code is available on the Company’s website.
Guidelines for Trading in Company Securities
The Board has committed to ensuring that the Company, its Directors and executives comply with their legal obligations as well as conducting their business in a transparent and ethical manner. The Board has adopted a procedure on dealing in the Company’s securities by Directors, officers and employees which prohibits dealing in the Company’s securities when those persons possess inside information.
The guidelines also provide that the acknowledgement of the Chairman or the Board should be obtained prior to trading. In the case of a Director, acknowledgement from the entire Board must be obtained prior to trading. A summary of the Guidelines are available on the Company’s website.
The Company’s policy restricts, notwithstanding exceptional circumstances, the trading in Company’s securities by those individuals covered by the policy to trading windows that are open for 10 days commencing 24 hours following the hosting of General Meetings of the Company, the release of annual, half yearly results and quarterly reports and after any other public announcement on the ASX.
Diversity
The Board has adopted a diversity policy that details the purpose of the policy and the employee selection and appointment guidelines, consistent with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Council. The Board believes that the adoption of an efficient diversity policy has the effect of broadening the employee recruitment pool, supporting employee retention, including different perspectives and is socially and economically responsible governance practice.
The Company employs new employees and promotes current employees on the basis of performance, ability and attitude. The Board is continually reviewing its practices with a focus on ensuring that the selection process at all levels within the organisation is formal and transparent and that the workplace environment is open, fair and tolerant. The Company currently has no full time employees.

Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 3 (continued) Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision Making
Diversity (continued)
The Company, in keeping with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Council provides the following information regarding the proportion of gender diversity in the organisation as at 30 June 2013:
| Proportion of female / total number of persons employed |
Proportion of female / total number of persons employed |
|---|---|
| Females employed in the Company as a whole | 0/0 |
| Females employed in the Company in senior positions | 0/0 |
| Females appointed as a Director of the Company | 0/5 |
The recommendations of the Corporate Governance Council relating to reporting require a Board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity within the organisation, and to report against them on an annual basis. The Company has implemented measurable objectives as follows:

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 4 Safeguarding Integrity in Financial Reporting
Audit Committee
The Company does not have a separate Audit Committee as suggested by Recommendations 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the Corporate Governance Council. The full Board currently carries out the function of an Audit Committee and believes that the Company is not of a sufficient size to warrant a separate committee and that the full Board is able to meet objectives of the best practice recommendations and discharge its duties in this area. The Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter that is available on the Company’s website, and functions in accordance with this document.
The relevant experience of all the Board members is detailed in the Directors’ section of the Directors’ Report.
The Board considers the appointment of the external auditor, their independence, the audit fee and any questions of resignation or dismissal. Auditor rotation is as required by the Corporations Act 2001.
Financial Reporting
The Board relies on its Directors to monitor the internal controls within the Company. Financial performance is monitored on a regular basis by the Board, and is discussed by the Board at its Board meetings.
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 5 Make Timely and Balanced Disclosure
The Board reviews the performance of the external auditors on an annual basis and meets with them during the year to review findings and assist with Board recommendations.
In the absence of a formal Audit Committee the Non-Executive Directors of the Company are available for communication with the auditors of the Company.
Continuous Disclosure
The Board is committed to the promotion of investor confidence by providing full and timely information to all security holders and market participants about the Company’s activities and to comply with the continuous disclosure requirements contained in the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Securities Exchange’s Listing Rules. The Company has established written policies and procedures, designed to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rule Requirements, in accordance with Recommendation 5.1 of the Corporate Governance Council. A copy of the Company’s Disclosure Policy is available on the Company’s website.
Continuous disclosure is discussed at all regular Board meetings and on an ongoing basis the Board ensures that all activities are reviewed with a view to the necessity for disclosure to security holders.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rules the Company Secretary is appointed as the Company’s disclosure officer.
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 6 Respect the Rights of Shareholders
Communications
The Board fully supports security holder participation at general meetings as well as ensuring that communications with security holders are effective and clear. This has been incorporated into a formal Shareholder Communication Policy, in accordance with Recommendation 6.1 of the Corporate Governance Council. A copy of the policy is available on the Company’s website.
In addition to electronic communication via the ASX website, the Company publishes all significant announcements together with all quarterly reports. These documents are available in both hardcopy on request and on the Company website at www.emergentresources.com.au.
Shareholders are able to pose questions on the audit process and the financial statements directly to the independent auditor who attends the Company Annual General Meeting for that purpose.

Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013
==> picture [596 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 7 Recognise and Manage Risk
Risk Management Policy
The Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy, which is available on the Company’s website that sets out a framework for a system of risk management and internal compliance and control, whereby the Board delegates day-to-day management of risk to the Executive Director. The Company complies with Recommendation 7.1 of the Corporate Governance Council. The Board is responsible for supervising management’s framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed.
Risk management and the internal control system
The Board has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks.
In order to implement the Company’s Risk Management Policy, it was considered important that the Company establish an internal control regime in order to:
-
n Assist the Company to achieve its strategic objectives;
-
n Safeguard the assets and interests of the Company and its stakeholders; and
-
n Ensure the accuracy and integrity of external reporting.
Key identified risks to the business are monitored on an ongoing basis as follows:
n Business risk management
The Company manages its activities within budgets and operational and strategic plans.
n Internal controls
The Board has implemented internal control processes typical for the Company’s size and stage of development. It ensures the proper functioning of internal controls and in addition it obtains advice from the external auditors as considered necessary.
n Financial reporting
Directors approve budgets for the Company and review performance against budgets at each Board Meeting.
n Environment and safety
The Company is committed to ensuring that sound environmental management and safety practices are maintained in its exploration activities. This is achieved by training staff and ensuring that they are aware of and follow all legislative, Company and industry standards in relation to environmental management and safety practices.
The Company’s risk management strategy is evolving and its development is an ongoing process. It is recognised that the level and extent of the strategy will develop with the growth of and changes in the Company’s activities.
The Company has not yet developed a formal risk management and internal control system to identify and manage material business risks.
Risk Reporting
As the Board has responsibility for the monitoring of risk management it has not required a formal report regarding the material risks that have been identified and whether those risks are managed effectively therefore not complying with Recommendation 7.2 of the Corporate Governance Council. The Board believes that the Company’s affairs are not of sufficient complexity to justify the implementation of a more formal system than that which is in place for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing risk.
The Company does not have an internal audit function.

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 7 (continued) Recognise and Manage Risk
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Written Statement
The Board requires the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Controller, or equivalent, to provide a written statement that the financial statements of company present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the financial position and operational results and have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporation Act. The Board also requires that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Controller, or equivalent, provide sufficient assurance that the declaration is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control, and that the system is working effectively.
The declarations have been received by the Board, in accordance with Recommendation 7.3 of the Corporate Governance Council.
Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 8 Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly
Remuneration Committee
The Board does not have a separate Remuneration Committee and as such does not comply with Recommendation 8.1 of the Corporate Governance Council. Remuneration arrangements for Directors are determined by the full Board. The Board is also responsible for setting performance criteria, performance monitors, share option schemes, superannuation, termination and retirement entitlements, and professional indemnity and liability insurance cover.
The Board considers that the Company is effectively served by the full Board acting as a whole in remuneration matters. All matters of remuneration continue to be decided upon in accordance with Corporations Act requirements, by ensuring that no Director participates in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues.
Distinguish Between Executive and Non-Executive Remuneration
The Company does distinguish between the remuneration policies of its Executive and Non-Executive Directors in accordance with Recommendation 8.2 of the Corporate Governance Council.
Executive Directors may receive remuneration which may include performance based components, designed to reward and motivate, which may include the granting of share options, subject to shareholder approval and vesting conditions relating to continuity of engagement.
Non-Executive Directors receive fees agreed on an annual basis by the Board, within total Non-Executive remuneration limits voted upon by shareholders at Annual General Meetings. In the current financial year, no Non-Executive Director received share options as remuneration.

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary timing differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantially enacted for each jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to those timing differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Income tax
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 liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
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 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 balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
(e) Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases (Note 23). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial 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 non-financial 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.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
For cash flow statement 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 an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line and written down value methods to allocate their cost, net of residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Field equipment | 5-33.3% |
|---|---|
| Offce equipment | 5-50% |
| Motor Vehicles | 10-25% |
The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet 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(f)). Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) For the financial year ended 30 June 2013
Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(i) Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward only if they relate to an area of interest for which rights of tenure are current and in respect of which:
-
n such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or
-
n exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active or significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or if the Directors consider the expenditure to be of reduced value, accumulated costs carried forward are written off in the year in which that assessment is made. A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Immediate restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs necessitated by exploration and evaluation activities are expensed as incurred and treated as exploration and evaluation expenditure. Exploration activities resulting in future obligations in respect of restoration costs result in a provision to be made by capitalising the estimated costs, on a discounted cash basis, of restoration and depreciating over the useful life of the asset. The unwinding of the effect of the discounting on the provision is recorded as a finance cost in the income statement.
(j) Joint ventures
Interests in joint ventures are brought to account by including the appropriate share of the relevant assets, liabilities and costs of the joint ventures in their relevant categories in the financial statements.
(k) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities, at amortised cost, for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within the payment terms negotiated with the creditor.
(l) Employee benefits
Wages, 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.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future salaries, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Share based payments
Share based compensation payments are made available to Directors and employees.
The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free rate for the term of the option.

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(l) Employee benefits (continued)
Share based payments (continued)
The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.
Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital.
(m) 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.
(n) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to equity holders 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.
Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses, assets commitments and contingencies 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 a 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 balance sheet.
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 flow.
(o) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(p) Financial instruments
Recognition
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) For the financial year ended 30 June 2013
Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(p) Financial instruments (continued)
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Held-to-maturity investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments included to be held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(iii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
(iv) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.
(q) Fair value estimation
A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods:
Investments in equity and debt securities
The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity investments and available for sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of held to maturity investments is determined for disclosure purposes only. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
Trade and other receivables
The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(r) New Accounting Standards for application in future periods
The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting period, some of which are relevant to the Company. The Company has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The Company’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the Company but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:
- n AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010).
This standard is mandatorily applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013. However, AASB 2012-6 defers the application date of AASB 9 from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2015. AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities.
Although the Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 2010-7 may have an impact on the Company’s financial statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.
- n AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements , AASB 11: Joint Arrangements , AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011) and AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (August 2011) (as amended by AASB 2012-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Transition Guidance and Other Amendments) , and AASB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards.
AASB 10 provides a revised definition of “control” and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. When adopted, this Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.
AASB 11 requires joint arrangements to be classified as either “joint operations” (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or “joint ventures” (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). When adopted, this Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.
AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a “structured entity”, replacing the “special purpose entity: concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structured entities. When adopted, this Standard will affect disclosures only and therefore is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.
- n AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 2013 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted by other Standards.
These Standards are expected to result in more detailed fair value disclosures, but are not expected to significantly impact the amounts recognised in these financial statements.
- n AASB 2011-4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements by Australia specific paragraphs.
When adopted, these amendments are unlikely to have any significant impact on the financial statements.
- n AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
This Standard introduces a number of changes to presentation and disclosure of a defined benefit plan. AASB 119 also includes changes to the criteria for determining when termination benefits should be recognised as obligation. The entity does not have any defined benefit plans. Therefore, these amendments will have no significant impact on the entity.

(r) New Accounting Standards for application in future periods (continued)
-
n AASB Interpretation 20: Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of Surface Mining (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
This interpretation clarifies that costs of removing mine waste materials (overburden) to gain access to mineral ore deposits during the production stage of a mine must be capitalized as inventories under AASB 102: Inventories if the benefits from stripping activity is realised in the form of inventory produced.
The entity does not operate a surface mine. Therefore, there will be no impact on the financial statements when this interpretation is first adopted.
- n AASB 2012-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (application for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014).
This Standard amends the required disclosures in AASB 7 to include information that will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity’s recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity’s statement of financial position.
When adopted, there will be no impact on the entity as the entity does not have any netting arrangements in place.
- n AASB 2012-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009-2011 (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
These amendments are a consequence of the annual improvement process, which provides a vehicle for making non-urgent but necessary amendments to Standards.
When these amendments are first adopted, this Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.
Note 2 Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to a variety of risks arising from its use of financial instruments. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to the specific risks, and the policies and processes for measuring and managing those risks. The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the risk management framework and has adopted a Risk Management Policy.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from transactions with customers and investments.
Trade and other receivables
The Company has no investments and the nature of the business activity of the Company does not result in trading receivables. The receivables that the Company does experience through its normal course of business are short term and the risk of recovery of no recovery of receivables is considered to be negligible.
Cash deposits
The Company’s bankers are ANZ Limited and Westpac Banking Corporation and, at balance date, all operating accounts and funds held on deposit are with these banks. The Directors believe any risk associated with the use of these banks is addressed through the use of an AA rated bank as the primary banker. Except for this matter the Company currently has no significant concentrations of credit risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
34
Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2013
==> picture [596 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2 Financial risk management (continued)
(b) Liquidity risk (continued)
The Company manages its liquidity risk by monitoring its cash reserves and forecast spending. Management is cognisant of the future demands for liquid finance resources to finance the Company’s current and future operations, and consideration is given to the liquid assets available to the Company before commitment is made to future expenditure or investment. If the Company does not raise capital, it can continue as a going concern by reducing planned but not committed expenditure until funding is available or joint venture arrangements can be entered in to.
(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising any return.
Interest rate risk
The Company has significant cash assets which may be susceptible to fluctuations in changes in interest rates. Whilst the Company requires the cash assets to be sufficiently liquid to cover any planned or unforeseen future expenditure, which prevents the cash assets being committed to long term fixed interest arrangements; the Company does mitigate potential interest rate risk by entering into short to medium term fixed interest investments.
Other market risks
The Company does not have any direct contact with foreign exchange or equity risks other than their effect on the general economy.
(d) Capital management
The Board of Directors monitors capital expenditure and cash flows as mentioned in (b). The Company’s capital structure may be amended by the issue of equity securities or by entering in to other finance arrangements as necessary to fund the Company’s operations and to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s current capital structure has been comprised entirely of equity based securities since its incorporation, and has no externally imposed capital requirements to which it is subject to, other than the requirements of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. There has been no material change to the composition of the Company’s capital in this or prior reporting periods.
Note 3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Accounting for capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
The Company’s accounting policy is stated at Note 1(i). There is some subjectivity involved in the carrying forward as capitalised or writing off to the income statement exploration and evaluation expenditure, however the Board and management give due consideration to areas of interest on a regular basis and are confident that decisions to either write off or carry forward such expenditure reflect fairly the prevailing situation. In the year ended 30 June 2013 an amount of $1,080,726 has been written off (2012: $5,708,372).
Impairment
The Company assess impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Impairment in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is detailed in Note 12 to the financial statements.
Measurement of share-based payments
The Company’s accounting policy is stated at 1(l). The fair value of options granted is measured using a valuation model taking into account the share price at the grant date, exercise price, expected option life and the expected volatility of the share price traded on the ASX.
Refer Note 17 for details of carrying amounts, estimates and assumptions used.
