REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Frontier Resources Ltd is focused on mineral exploration in Papua New Guinea ( Figure 1 ) with a 100% interest in the Bulago Exploration Licence (EL) and the Muller Range EL, that are both highly prospective for the discovery and delineation of intrusive related high grade gold, copper+/- gold +/molybdenum porphyries, associated polymetallic skarn and epithermal gold deposits.

PNG is recognised as being highly prospective and the Company is targeting copper+/- gold +/molybdenum porphyries and intrusive related epithermal gold deposits in the Papuan Fold Belt.

The Fold Belt contains the Ok Tedi porphyry copper-gold Mine (located 120km WNW), Porgera intrusive/ epithermal related gold Mine (100km east) and Kili Teke porphyry copper-gold Deposit (50km east). The giant Grasberg porphyry copper-gold +skarns is in this same zone in West Papua.

Muller EL 2356

During the Period a renewal application was lodged and the Warden’s Court Hearing and was scheduled for January 15[th] , 2018, with the Muller porphyry copper- gold moly exploration program to be initiated subsequent to the Hearing. However, the Air Niugini flight to Tari was cancelled and the Mining Warden cancelled the Hearing and re-scheduled for 17 April 2018.

Bulago EL 1595

Aimex Geophysics (Director Swiridiuk’s entity) has completed an Aster satellite imagery study that better defines the main geochemically anomalous zones of the 3 main project areas,

An exploration program will commence subsequent to the Muller program, with evaluation of skarn targets at the limestone/ intrusive contact and several ‘higher elevation’ Bulago Valley gold + base-metal silt + stream geochemical anomalies and this has also been delayed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FRONTIER RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Level 15, Exchange Tower, 2 The Esplanade, Perth, WA 6000 PO Box 5785, St Georges Terrace, WA 6831 T +61 (0)8 9225 5355 F +61 (0)8 9225 6181 www.moorestephens.com.au

REPORT ON THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Frontier Resources Limited and controlled entities (the consolidated entity) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of Frontier Resources Limited (the Company) are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Frontier Resources Limited and controlled entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and 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 have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act, provided to the directors of Frontier Resources Limited and controlled entities, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF FRONTIER RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES (CONTINUED)

REVIEW 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 Frontier Resources Limited and controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2017 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

INHERENT UNCERTAINTY REGARDING GOING CONCERN

Without qualification to the conclusion expressed above, we draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements which states that the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months is subject to achieving the funding outcomes described in Note 1 – Going Concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts other than as stated in the financial report.

FRONTIER RESOURCES LTD & ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2017

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The half-year consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting.

This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Frontier Resources Limited and its controlled entities. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 and any public announcements made by Frontier Resources Limited and its controlled entities during the halfyear in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical 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.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in these interim financial statements as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.

Going concern basis of preparation

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the half-year ended 31 December 2017 the Group recorded a loss after tax of $466,001 (2016: $630,742) and had a net working capital deficit of $243,117 (30 June 2017: $167,244).

The Directors recognise that the ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the company being able to secure additional funding through either the issue of further shares and/or options or convertible notes or a combination thereof as required to fund ongoing exploration and evaluation activities, and for additional working capital.

Based on the above, the company is confident that it will successfully raise additional funds, if required, to meet its financial obligations in future periods. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the consolidated entity be unsuccessful in securing further working capital, the consolidated entity may not be able to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not contain any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the company not be able to continue as a going concern.

New and revised accounting requirements applicable to the current interim period

The Group has considered the implications of the new or amended Accounting Standards applicable to the Group for the first time in the current half-year reporting period 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2017 but determined that their application to the financial statements is either not relevant or not material.
