Corporate proFiLe
Tellus Resources Ltd (aSX code: tLU) is an australian-based mineral exploration company that was formed with the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing prospective mineral deposits, particularly gold.
tellus has acquired a large tenement package in regional New South Wales prospective for intrusive related Gold Deposits (IRG). A number of the tenements encompass historic goldfields, but have received relatively little in the way of modern exploration. With a number of drill ready targets already identified, Tellus is investigating and testing the broader mineralisation potential of these areas.
the Company is also actively pursuing the acquisition of, and/or participation in, additional resource projects.
HigHLigHTS
- Listing - tellus resources Ltd listed on the australian Securities exchange (aSX) on 11 May, 2011 after completing a successful initial public offer (“ipo”) that raised $4.25 million.
==> picture [70 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
-
Exploration - rock chip sampling of several types of surface veins at Glen Morrison (eL7699, Southern New england irG project) returned gold values of up to 9.56 g/t gold.
-
Resource Discovery & Development - tellus is actively exploring two key prospective areas in regional New South Wales: New england and Southeast Lachlan and is one of the first Australian resource companies to use modern exploration techniques in these areas. the Company’s combined exploration tenements under lease totals approximately 958 square kilometres.

CHairMaN’S Letter
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board I would like to extend a warm welcome to all shareholders in this our first Annual report.
It has been enormously satisfying to see our Company finally make its public debut on May 11 this year. this would not have been achieved without the support of the executive and management team and it is a testament to their vision, hard work and dedication that saw the ipo for tellus close over-subscribed.
Since listing our Company has continued to draw and enjoy strong support from our key stakeholders, new shareholders and the broader investment community.
More recently we have been greatly encouraged by some of the early investigations made at Glen Morrison in Southern New England that confirm the prospectivity of our tenement areas.
the year ahead promises to be an exciting and busy period for the Company with a focused exploration program across the Company’s tenements in the New england and Southeast Lachlan regions of New South Wales. the deployment of modern exploration models and techniques in areas which have received minimal exploration in recent years will assist us greatly in unlocking the value of our tenement portfolio in these historic gold-producing regions. the Board will also continue to diligently assess new value-adding opportunities as they arise.
i would like to conclude by thanking my fellow Directors and, on behalf of our Board, extend our appreciation for the contribution and commitment of our employees, consultants, stakeholders and shareholders and we look forward to working together to ensure the continued growth and success of our Company over the coming year.
anthony Wehby

operatioN & eXpLoratioN report
OVERViEW
the Company’s projects are located in the southern New england orogen and the south-eastern Lachlan orogen in New South Wales. These areas have been identified as being prospective areas for intrusive related Gold Deposits (irG Deposits).
IRG Deposits were first recognised as a deposit classification in 1999, prior to this the deposit style was poorly described. examples include the Donlin Creek (total Ni43-101 compliant reserve of 467.7 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.23 g/t au for 33 million oz) and Fort Knox (total Ni43-101 compliant reserve of 253,434 tonnes at an average grade of 0.44 g/t au for 3.5 million oz) gold deposits in alaska. the Kidston Gold Mine (total previous gold production of 3.5 million oz) in North Queensland and the timbarra Gold Mine in the New england region of New South Wales have also now been classified as IRG Deposits.
Given the relatively recent recognition of this deposit style, many areas now known to be prospective for irG Deposits have not been the focus of extensive exploration programs using modern techniques particularly in New South Wales. the intrusives of the New england and South-east Lachlan orogens display many similar features of the world class irG Deposit areas.
apart from the few shallow rC holes drilled at Glen Morrison, there has been very little ‘modern’ exploration within the New england tenements other than regional stream sediment sampling and reconnaissance rock chip sampling.
Similarly, little to no ‘modern’ exploration has been completed within the four project areas within the Southeast Lachlan tenements.

Tellus ResouRces lTd ANNUAL report 2011
----- End of picture text -----
~~Southern New England IRG Project, NSW~~
the Company holds two exploration tenements in the New england region of New South Wales. the combination of interpreted magnetic features, large scale faulting, compatible alteration assemblages and historic gold mines within the above two tenements make them prospective for irG Deposits similar to Donlin Creek in alaska.
~~Glen Morrison Project – EL7699~~
the “Glen Morrison” project is 120 square kilometres and situated 25 kilometres to the south of the town of Walcha. alluvial gold was first discovered at Glen Morrison in 1870 and shortly afterwards reef gold was discovered. By april 1873 there was an estimated 200 to 300 people working the field.
the Glen Morrison project area contains numerous old gold workings and there is estimated to be over one hundred old shafts. Most of the shafts have been backfilled in recent years. While production records are limited, the Golden Bar reef, to the northern end of the tenement, was reported to have produced more than 70,000oz gold between 1872 and 1874.
Despite excellent grades, by 1880 the field was in serious decline due to a lack of crushing equipment; when one was built it was four miles from the workings. a few miners worked the reefs until 1890 with little done since.
During the year tellus conducted a preliminary reconnaissance rock-chip sampling program around the Golden Bar and Golden Star Reefs at Glen Morrison and identified numerous historical workings on three separate quartz calcite arsenopyrite veins that were mapped over 170 metres each. Sampling from the wall of another historic pit well along strike to the north-west returned 0.60 g/t gold, suggesting the gold rich vein system may extend for at least 670 metres to the north-west and is open to the south-east.
representative samples of each different vein style were taken from mullock around the old workings to identify the most productive veins. two main styles were sampled at surface; two laminated quartz-calcite-arsenopyrite vein samples returned 9.56 g/t and 1.42 g/t gold respectively and a brecciated vein returned 2.63 g/t gold.
a 2,000 metre follow-up rC drilling campaign was started in the September quarter following the encouraging surface sampling results to test the potential depth extensions to the outcropping surface veining. an expanded targeted drilling program will be developed and initiated during the current year.
Soil sampling has already commenced and is designed to identify further mineralisation along known strike of the veins as part of the first systematic use of modern exploration techniques on irGS in the area.
the combination of interpreted magnetic features, large scale faulting, compatible alteration assemblages and historic gold mines within the Glen Morrison make it prospective for large high grade deposits similar to Donlin Creek in alaska.
~~Cobark Project – EL7698~~
the “Cobark” project is 85 square kilometres in size and sits 30km to the west of Gloucester. Alluvial gold was first discovered in the district at Copeland in 1876 and reef gold mining started in 1877, about the same time the Cobark Goldfield was discovered 13km to the west. NSW Geological Survey records 20 significant workings within the project which were mainly reef gold veins probably worked in the late 1800’s. More recent exploration was carried out in the late 1980’s by placer exploration with minimal follow up.
No work was undertaken on this tenement during the year.
~~Southeast Lachlan Project, NSW~~
tellus has four granted exploration tenements covering 915 square kilometres in the south-eastern Lachlan Fold Belt in the south-eastern corner of New South Wales around the towns of eden, Bega and Merimbula. the tenements are:
-
Cobargo – EL7721 (310.9km²)
-
Brogo – EL7723 (246.1km²)
-
Yurammie – EL7722 (123.4km²)
-
Yambulla – EL7720 (234.6km²)
the tenements are contained within the area covered by the New South Wales Government’s “New Frontiers” initiative. this initiative has been conducted to promote exploration in NSW and includes a new detailed geophysical survey in the Southeast of NSW covering the south-eastern portion of the Lachlan Fold Belt. the area covers felsic intrusives of similar age and composition to the Braidwood Granodiorite which hosts the Dargues reef Deposit.
Dargues reef is a gold deposit hosted within the Braidwood Granodiorite which appears as an intense magnetic high intrusion with strong structural overprint evident in the regional aeromagnetics. Dargues reef is located approximately 13 kilometres south of the town of Braidwood and has a JorC resource (consisting of measured, indicated and inferred) of 1.615 million tonnes @ 6.3g/t gold.
the new dataset provides a never before seen insight into the geology of the Southeast Lachlan and significantly enhances the prospectivity of the project area. Tellus identified the upside early and has a large and prospective tenement footprint within the area.
Direct geophysical comparison between the Braidwood Granodiorite and the intrusives within the tellus tenements can now be made; this new data also provides valuable targeting information for ongoing exploration.
the Company did not undertake any work on its Southeast Lachlan tenements during the 2011 financial year.

OUTLOOK
tellus has already embarked on a detailed drilling program to build the potential of its Southern New england tenements, particularly at Glen Morrison. review and assessment of the current rC drilling program will guide future campaigns over the 2012 financial year and beyond.
the occurrence of ‘outcropping’ gold-bearing veins within the Southern New england projects provides a quick focus for the company’s near-term exploration effort with residual soil sampling and geochemical modelling allowing for quick advancement of additional targets to drill-ready status.
Historic gold workings provide immediate drill-ready targets. Anomalism in the residual soil profile will quickly define additional priority drill targets in areas where the locations of the gold veins are obscured by shallow soil cover.
processing of the New Frontiers data and analysing trace element geochemistry will provide a number of targets for follow-up in the Southeast Lachlan project area.

Indemnities given and insurance premiums paid to auditors and officers
During the reporting period, the Company paid an insurance premium to insure the Directors and Officers of the Company. The Officers of the Company covered by the insurance policy include all Directors and the Company Secretary. the liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Company, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving a willful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Company. Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies are not disclosed as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
The Company has entered into an agreement with the Directors and Officers to indemnify them against any claim and related expenses, which arise as a result of work completed in their respective capabilities.
The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnity any current or former officer or auditor of the Company against a liability incurred as such by an officer or auditor.
Non audit Services
During the reporting period, the Company’s auditor assisted the Company in the preparation of the prospectus by preparing the investigating accountants report.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that the provision of those nonaudit services during the year is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Board to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
the non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in apeS 110 Code of ethics for professional accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, Grant thornton, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 23 to the Financial Statements.
a copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations act 2001 is included on page 18 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors report.

base pay and benefits;
-
long-term incentives through share schemes; and
-
other remuneration such as superannuation.
the combination of these comprises the Key Management personnel total remuneration.

Corporate GoVerNaNCe StateMeNt
For the period ended 30 June 2011
the responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated by the Board to the executive Director and the Chief Executive Officer (if appointed). The Board ensures that both the Executive Director and executive team are appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and, as discussed above, has in place procedures to monitor and assess their performance.
Senior Executive performance evaluation
the Board monitors the performance of senior management, including measuring actual performance against planned performance. the Board follows the performance evaluation principles outlined in its Corporate Governance plan.
principle 2: Structure the Board to add value
Board composition
a majority of the Directors are currently independent. the names of the members of the Board as at the date of this report are as follows:
-
Mr anthony Wehby (Chairman) - independent Non-executive Director
-
Mr David Ward - executive technical Director
-
Mr richard Willson - independent Non-executive Director
the Board seeks to ensure that the appropriate mix of skills and expertise is present on the Board to facilitate successful strategic direction. the Company’s Corporate Governance plan outlines that there will be at least three non-executive directors and where practical, at least fifty percent of the Board will be independent, however due to the size of the Company, this is currently not the case.
The Board Charter specifies that an independent Director is one who is independent of management and free from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Independent Directors should also meet the definition of independence as set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles.
Principles and Recommendations
the independence of Directors will be regularly assessed by the Board in light of their interests, all of which must be disclosed.
Role of the Chairman
the Chair is currently anthony Wehby, who is an independent Director. the Company’s Corporate Governance plan outlines that the Chair should be a non-executive Director and that if a Chairman ceases to be an independent Director, the Board will consider appointing a lead independent Director.
David Ward is the Technical Executive Director and undertakes the role of Chief Executive Officer and Anthony Wehby is the Nonexecutive Chair, thus not being the same individual. the Company’s Corporate Governance plan also outlines that in the future the Chief Executive Officer should not be the Chairman of the Company during his term as Chief Executive Officer or in the future.
Nomination and Remuneration Committee
Based on the fact that the Company is in its early stages of development, and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not yet formed a separate Nomination Committee which is a departure from the aSX principles. Currently matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board, however, the Board has formal terms of reference for the establishment of a Nomination Committee. a copy of the Nomination Committee’s Charter is available from the corporate governance section of the Company’s website.

Corporate GoVerNaNCe StateMeNt
For the period ended 30 June 2011
Directors’ Performance Evaluation
the Board undertakes an assessment of its collective performance, the performance of the Board committees and the Chairman on an annual basis.
in order to ensure the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, a review of the performance over the previous 12 months of the Board and individual Directors will be arranged by the Board in accordance with the terms of the Nomination Committee Charter, until such time as a Nomination Committee is established.
independent professional advice and access to information
each Director has the right of access to all relevant information in the Company in addition to access to the Company’s executives. each Director also has the right to seek independent professional advice subject to prior consultation with, and approval from, the Chairman. this advice will be provided at the Company’s expense and will be made available to all members of the Board.
insurance
The Company has in place a Directors and Officers liability insurance policy providing a specified level of cover for current and former Directors and executive Officers of the Company against liabilities incurred whilst acting in their respective capacity.

the Company recognises the importance of establishing and maintaining high ethical standards and decision making in conducting its business and is committed to increasing shareholder value in conjunction with fulfilling its responsibilities as a good corporate citizen. all Directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity, honesty and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Company.
the Company’s Corporate Governance plan includes a Corporate Code of Conduct, which provides a framework for decisions and actions in relation to ethical conduct in employment.
a copy of the code of conduct is available from the corporate governance section of the Company’s website.
Securities Trading Policy
the Company has established a share trading policy which governs the trading in the Group’s shares and applies to all Directors and employees of the Company. a copy of this policy is available on the Company’s website.
Under this share trading policy, an executive, employee or director must not trade in any securities of the Company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price sensitive information in relation to those securities.
Before commencing to trade, an executive or employee must first obtain the permission of the Company Secretary to do so, and a director must obtain the permission of the Chairman. the trading windows are four weeks after the release of the half year results, full year results and the holding of the annual General Meeting. trading of securities outside the trading windows can only occur in exceptional circumstances and with the approval of the Company Secretary.
As required by the ASX listing rules, the Company notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by Directors in the securities of the Group.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
Audit and Risk Committee
the Company does not comply with aSX recommendations 4.1 and 4.2 in that there is no separate audit committee, and it is not comprised only of non-executive Directors. Given that the Company is in its early stages of development, and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not yet formed a separate audit committee.
However, the Board has established a formal terms of reference for an audit and risk Committee.
The Board does not consider that at this stage any efficiencies or other benefits would be gained from establishing a separate committee. accordingly, until the audit and risk Committee is established, the Board will carry out the duties of the audit and risk Committee in accordance with the terms of reference that have been adopted.

However, based on the fact that the Company is it its early stages of development, and given the current size and structure of the Board, the Board has not yet established the audit and risk Committee.

Corporate reporting

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. the estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. actual results may differ from these estimates.
the estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.
Judgments made by management in the application of Australian Accounting Standards that have significant effect on the financial report and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 2 (r) below.
b) Cash and Cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other shortterm, highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

c) property, plant and equipment
each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on the diminishing balance method as follows:
Computer equipment 40% Computer software 40% Field equipment 30%
the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. these are included in the statement of comprehensive income.
d) intangibles
amortization is calculated on the diminishing balance method as follows:
Computer software 40%
e) Mineral properties (exploration and evaluation expenditure)
pre-licence costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income as incurred.
exploration and evaluation expenditure, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised on a project by project basis. these costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
expenditure deemed to be unsuccessful is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income immediately.
exploration for evaluation assets is assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
f) impairment
at each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying value of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. if such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.
g) Goods and Services tax
revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GSt”), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GSt included.
h) income tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the Statement of Financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred tax is provided using the Statement of Financial position liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. No temporary differences are recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill
the amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the Statement of Financial position date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
i) trade and other payables
trade and other payables are stated at cost and are recognised when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. the amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
j) trade and other receivables
trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses.
k) revenue
interest revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
l) operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised in profit and loss upon utilisation of the service or at date of their origin.
m) Segment reporting
operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. the chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.
n) Share based payments
equity-settled share-based payments granted are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is calculated using the Black Scholes methodology. the fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is recognised over the vesting period.
o) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised directly in equity as a deduction, net of tax allowable from proceeds.

p) earnings per share
- (i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares; and
-
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial 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 additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
q) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. the Company’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
- aaSB 9 Financial instruments, aaSB 2009-11 amendments to australian accounting Standards arising from aaSB 9 and aaSB 2010-7 amendments to australian accounting Standards arising from aaSB 9 (December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2013).
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. the standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the Company’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss. In the current reporting period, the company did not record any such gains in other comprehensive income.
There will be no impact on the Company’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Company does not have any such liabilities. the derecognition rules have been transferred from aaSB 139 Financial instruments: recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. the Company has not yet decided when to adopt aaSB 9.
- revised aaSB 124 related party Disclosures and aaSB 2009-12 amendments to australian accounting Standards (effective from 1 January 2011).
in December 2009 the aaSB issued a revised aaSB 124 related party Disclosures. it is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendment clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities. the Company will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2011. Since the Company is not a government related entity, there are not expected to be any changes arising from this standard.
- aaSB 2009-14 prepayments of a Minimum Funding requirement (amendments to interpretation 14) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
this Standard amends interpretation 14 addresses unintended consequences that can arise from the previous accounting requirements when an entity prepays future contributions into a defined benefit pension plan.
As the Company does not have a defined benefit pension plan this amendment to Interpretation 14 is not expected to have any impact on the entity’s financial report.
- aaSB 2010-2 amendments to australian accounting Standards arising from reduced disclosure requirements
this Standard makes amendments to australian accounting Standards and interpretations to give effect to the reduced Disclosure requirements for tier 2 entities.
aaSB 2010-2 sets out the relevant disclosures that will not be required to be made if it is a tier 2 entity that nominates to comply.
aaSB 1053 provides further information regarding the differential reporting framework and the two tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements.
-
aaSB 2010-4 Further amendments to australian accounting Standards arising from the annual improvements project [aaSB 1, aaSB 7, aaSB 101, aaSB 134 and interpretation 13] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).
-
this Standard details numerous changing to the accounting Standards arising from the iaSB’s annual improvements project. Key changes include:
-
emphasises the interaction between quantitative and qualitative aaSB 7 disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments.
-
Clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.
-
Provides guidance to illustrate how to apply disclosure principles in AASB 134 for significant events and transactions.
-
Clarify that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme, is to be taken in account.
-
aaSB 1053 application of tiers of australian accounting Standards
This Standard establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements:
-
tier 1: australian accounting Standards; and
-
tier 2: australian accounting Standards - reduced Disclosure requirements.
-
tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of tier 1, but contains substantially fewer disclosures requirements.
-
The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial statements:
-
for-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability (as defined in this Standard); and
-
the australian Government and State, territory and Local Governments.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Since the Company is a for-profit private sector entity that has public accountability, it does not qualify for the reduced disclosure requirements for tier 2 entities.
- aaSB 2010-05 amendments to australian accounting Standards [aaSB 1, 3, 4, 5, 101, 107, 112, 118, 119, 121, 132, 133, 134, 137, 139, 140, 1023 & 1038 and interpretations 112, 115, 127, 132 & 1042] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011).
the Standard makes numerous editorial amendments to a range of australian accounting Standards and interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of International Financial Reporting Standards by the International Accounting Standards Board. However, these editorial amendments have no major impact on the requirements of the respective amended pronouncements.
- AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011).
amendments made to aaSB 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures in November 2010 introduce additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from transferred financial assets. The amendments will affect particularly entities that sell, factor, securitise, lend or otherwise transfer financial assets to other parties. They are not expected to have any significant impact on the Company’s disclosures. the Company intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2011.
- aaSB 2010-7 amendments to australian accounting Standards arising from aaSB 9 (December 2010) [aaSB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023, & 1038 and interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
this Standard makes amendments to a range of australian accounting Standards and interpretations as a consequence of the issuance of aaSB 9: Financial instruments in December 2010. accordingly, these amendments will only apply when the entity adopts aaSB 9.
-
AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013).
-
this Standard makes amendments to aaSB 112: income taxes.
the amendments brought in by this Standard introduce a more practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model under aaSB 140: investment property.
Under the current aaSB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by selling it. the amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. this presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.
the amendments are not expected to impact the Company.
r) Key judgement estimates
in the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. the estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. actual results may differ from these estimates.
the estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)
Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies
the following are the critical judgements including those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
i) Share-based payments
the Company is required to use assumptions in respect of the fair value model, and the variable element in the model, used in determining the share based payments.
ii) impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure
the future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Company decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to the environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
Given the stage of exploration of the Company, it is not possible to reliably estimate future cash flows. The carrying value of mineral properties is reviewed and assessed with reference to comparative transactions, the status of existing joint venture arrangements, market volatility and the significant changes in valuations for all mineral assets as a result of the recent significant discounting of equity markets. to the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.
iii) Carbon tax
On 10 July 2011, the Commonwealth Government announced the “Securing a Clean Energy Future – the Australian Government’s Climate Change plan”. Whilst the announcement provides further details of the framework for a carbon pricing mechanism, uncertainties continue to exist on the impact of any carbon pricing mechanism on the Company as legislation must be voted on and passed by both houses of parliament. in addition, as the Company will not fall within the “top 500 australian polluters’, the impact of the Carbon Scheme will be through indirect effects of increased prices on many production inputs and general business expenses as suppliers subject to the carbon pricing mechanism are likely to pass on their carbon price burden to their customers in the form of increased prices. Directors expect that this will not have a significant impact upon the operation costs within the business, and therefore will not have an impact upon the valuation of assets and/or going concern of the business.

16. Commitments for expenditure
the Company has minimum expenditure commitments to meet the conditions under which the properties are granted. these minimum expenditure commitments total $861,000 (annual minimum expenditure on mineral properties from grant date of the licence to the renewal date is $307,000). these minimum commitments may vary from time to time, subject to approval by the grantor of titles or by variation of contractual agreements. the expenditure represents potential expenditure which may be reduced by entering into sale, joint venture or relinquishment of the interests and may vary depending upon the results of exploration. Should expenditure not reach the required level in respect of each area of interest, the Company’s interest could be either reduced or forfeited.
17. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
tellus resources has been joined as a party in two proceedings in the New South Wales Court of appeal by Mr albert Gilbert Martin. Mr Martin has alleged that the Company was granted certain exploration licences as a result of the alleged misuse of confidential information by the Department of industry and investment and others, information which Mr Martin alleges he supplied.
tellus resources is the Sixth respondent in proceeding 2011/84040 in the Court of appeal and the Fifth respondent in proceeding 2011/185491 in that court. the proceedings are appeals brought by Mr anthony Gilbert Martin against various decisions of the New South Wales Land and environment Court. tellus resources was not a party in either of the proceedings in the Land and environment Court, to which the appeals relate, although Mr Martin unsuccessfully sought to join the company to the Court of appeal proceedings 2011/185491.
on 14 September 2011, the Court of appeal delivered judgement in the two Court of appeal proceedings. in proceeding Ca2011/185491, the appeal was struck out as incompetent, leave to appeal was refused and Mr Martin was ordered to pay costs of the respondents, including tellus resources. in proceeding Ca2011/84040, the Court of appeal granted leave to appeal on limited grounds, being grounds relating to an order for security of costs. otherwise leave to appeal was refused.
on 19 September, 2011 the Court of appeal delivered a further judgment in proceedings 2011/84040 in which orders were made striking out certain orders in the Notice of appeal, including the orders relating to tellus resources Limited, and for costs in favour of the Company.
therefore, there is now no Notice of appeal which relates to tellus resources Limited.
However, Mr Martin has filed a Notice of Motion in the Court of Appeal proceedings to which Tellus Resources Limited is a party, wherein Mr Martin seeks orders against tellus resources and other parties for alleged contempt of Court. this Notice of Motion is listed before the Court of appeal for hearing on 27 September, 2011.
tellus resources has received legal advice that given the known facts and circumstances there is no reasonable basis for a claim that it misused confidential information belonging to Mr Martin in obtaining exploration licences, or that that there is any reasonable prospect of any order being made against it pursuant to the Notice of Motion filed in the Court of Appeal. Accordingly the directors consider that any liability to tellus resources Limited is remote and accordingly no liabilities in relation to these matters have been brought to account.

19. Financial instruments
Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity and credit risk. Due to the size of the company, a separate finance committee does not exist. The Board is responsible for the financial risk management and considers future cash flow requirements as required.
interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is managed by investing cash with major financial institutions in both cash on deposit and term deposit accounts.
Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. The Company’s operations require it to raise capital on an ongoing basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets. if the Company does not raise capital in the short term, it can continue as a going concern by reducing planned but not committed exploration expenditure until funding is available and/or entering into joint venture arrangements where exploration is funded by the joint venture partner.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company as well as through deposits with financial institutions. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate as means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults and only banks and financial institutions with an ‘A’ rating are utilised. The Company measures risk on a fair value basis.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
Price risk
The Company does not derive revenue from sale of products therefore, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk is not considered material. the fair value of the mineral projects will be impacted by commodity price changes and could impact future revenues once operational. However, management monitors current and projected commodity prices.
the Company is mainly exposed to mining services price risk. Management constantly monitors price movements and seeks ways to minimise the cost on operating activities.

Financial instruments
The Company has exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instruments’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and the financial liabilities.
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk and effective weighted average interest rate for financial assets and liabilities is set out below.

Net fair values
The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair values.
Sensitivity analysis
Interest Rate Risk and Price Risk
the Company has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk and price risk at reporting date. this sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks.
interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
At 30 June 2011, the effect on loss and equity as a result of fluctuations in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant has been considered. For the purpose of this exercise, a 1% increase in the interest results in a decrease in loss by $4,870 and an increase in equity by $4,870. these changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions.
Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis
As the company does not derive revenue from sale of products, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the price risk is not considered material. the fair value of the exploration projects will be impacted by commodity price changes and could impact future revenues once operational. However, management monitors current and projected commodity prices.
