Directors’ Report

The Directors present their interim financial report of Emergent Resources Limited (the “Company”) for the half‐year ended 31 December 2013.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Emergent Resources Limited at any time during the half‐year and up to the date of this report:

Jian‐Hua Sang (Non‐Executive Chairman) Wolfgang Fischer (Non‐Executive Director) Patrick Burke (Non‐Executive Director) Sai Kit Wong (Non‐Executive Director) Andrew Tunks (Executive Director, resigned 26 November 2013)

Executive and management

Patrick Burke (Company Secretary)

Review of Operations

The net loss after income tax for the half‐year was $301,760 (31 December 2012: $1,247,104).

At the end of the half‐year the Company had $2,710,934 (30 June 2013: $2,797,344) in cash and at call deposits. Capitalised mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure is $4,355,880 (30 June 2013: $4,325,509).

New Projects

During the half‐year the Company allocated part of its working capital budget to the identification and evaluation of new mineral resource opportunities in Australia and overseas. In this regard the Company reviewed a number of projects across a range of commodities and countries and is confident of securing a project in the near term that will add significant shareholder value.

The Company considers that its combination of corporate and technical expertise and significant financial backing makes it ideally placed to grow through investment and acquisition, particularly at a time when asset values have come back so sharply giving rise to a large number of attractively priced opportunities.

Beyondie Iron Project

During the half‐year the Company was engaged in the updating of its resource estimation at Beyondie. This updating involves the incorporation of an additional fifteen (15) drill holes for 2,473m comprising eight (8) RC holes for 1,590m and seven (7) DD holes for 883m. This additional drilling, which was undertaken in 2009, was designed to increase confidence where there are gaps between previously drilled holes, and at depth, within the extents of the current resource area.

Extension Gold Project

The Company conducted further review of the Extension Gold Project during the half‐year and 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. The gold anomalies are coincident with mineralisation intersected in previous drilling of a major shear zone close to a mafic‐ granite contact which is prospective for gold mineralisation.

3

Emergent Resources Limited ABN 68 125 323 622

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 drilling sections to investigate the shear zone in the areas of highest MMI anomalism. Final planning for the 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 half‐year, as part of a regular process, the Company’s assets were reviewed. As a result of this asset review the decision was taken to partially surrender Beyondie Iron Project tenements E52/1806 and E52/2215. The partial surrender related to non‐prospective blocks on these tenements with the result that the Company retained the full value and potential of the Project but significantly reduced overheads associated with the Project.

The information above was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

Competent Persons Statement

Competent Persons Statement

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements For the half‐year ended 31 December 2013

Note 1 Basis of preparation of half‐year report

This general purpose financial report for the interim half‐year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting , Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

This interim financial report does not include all the disclosure and notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by Emergent Resources Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

The half year report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs modified by the revaluation of selected non‐current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

In the half year ended 31 December 2013, the Company has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. It has been determined by the Company that none of the new accounting standards adopted during the reporting period, have any impact, material or otherwise, and therefore no change is necessary to Company accounting policies.

New accounting standards adopted since the end of the last reporting period

The Company has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the half‐year ended 31 December 2013. As a result of this review the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Company accounting policies.

No retrospective change in accounting policy or material reclassification has occurred requiring the inclusion of a third Statement of Financial Position as at the beginning of the comparative financial period, as required under AASB 101.

The interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2014.

Note 2 Segment information

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments, where the segments have similar characteristics. The Company’s only material reportable segment for the financial period has been identified as the Beyondie Project in the Mid‐West region of Western Australia.

As a result the Company’s only material reportable segment for the financial period has been identified as the Company as a whole and as such the reporting segment is represented by the primary statements forming these financial statements.

Note 3 Loss for the period

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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

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 Emergent Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
