Chairman's Statement

"We are 100% committed to bringing the project in as early as possible and to begin generating revenue."

Chiu Tao, Chairman

Dear shareholders,

In a year of extreme economic uncertainty, investors increasingly turned to gold as a safe haven. With gold prices hitting unprecedented highs, we at G-Resources worked steadily and diligently to complete our mine and begin gold production.

We made significant progress during the year towards achieving this goal. By year end, the workshop, warehouse, administration buildings, CIL tanks and infrastructure such as the haul roads were either completed or well advanced. We also brought our world-class team of people up to full strength and finished awarding all key contracts and purchases.

Having said that, I should note that we also encountered heavy rainfall and ground conditions at Martabe that made it impossible to meet all of our earthworks and concrete works milestones. Consequently, we were forced to change our project schedule for first production from the end of 2011 to the end of the first quarter of 2012.

Our capital costs also had to be revised. In the process of awarding contracts, it became clear to us that the weaker US dollar, rising oil prices and last year's landslip would affect our capital costs. Following detailed internal and third party reviews, we estimated that our capital costs budget would require an additional US\$200 million.

To raise the additional capital, we did a placement of shares in July 2011. The net proceeds of the share placing, which was oversubscribed, were approximately US\$213 million. This shows that shareholders continued to have confidence in the quality and potential of the Martabe Project, as well as in our management team.

As the turmoil in global market continues with no end in sight, investors still regard gold as an excellent hedge against inflation and fluctuations in world currencies. Meanwhile, central banks are also engaged in heavy buying of physical gold for reserve, which is a component in a diversified portfolio and, especially in Asia, a material in the manufacture of jewellery.

Set against this is the limited supply of gold, especially new gold. Worldwide, there are few new discoveries of gold deposits being made or new gold mining projects coming into production. What's more, when new deposits are discovered, a gold mining company typically takes about eight to ten years before production can begin.

G-Resources is one of the few gold mine companies that will come on-stream in the near future. Our company offers an attractive option for investors not only because of the price leverage of gold mining stocks generally, but also because of the timing of our project and Martabe's low operating costs.

When we acquired the Martabe Project two years ago, gold was priced at just over US\$900 per ounce and silver was only about US\$13 per ounce; today gold and silver prices are substantially higher with gold having tested historical highs in recent weeks. Also, our very low cash cost compared with other gold mining companies is likely to have a favourable impact on our margins and earnings.

Looking beyond Martabe, we are maintaining our strategy of growing G-Resources into a leading Asia-Pacific gold company. Although we are currently focused on Martabe as our core starter asset, we have and will continue to evaluate potential new opportunities in the region according to our strict quality criteria. We are committed to optimising the Martabe asset and developing a pipeline of projects of similar quality that will enable us to be producing one million ounces of gold per annum within five years.

As we continue 'going for gold' early next year, I would like to assure our shareholders that we are 100% committed to bringing the project in as early as possible and to begin generating revenue. Although we did experience some setbacks in the year, we have been decisive in resolving these issues. Offsetting these, the price of gold remains at historically high levels, our production costs are very low compared with the industry, and we have an excellent management team in place working towards bringing the mine into production.

Our shareholders recognise the value of our project, which was demonstrated by the huge success of our recent share placing, and I would like to sincerely thank them for their support over the past year. I would also like to acknowledge my Vice-Chairmen, Chief Executive Officer and my fellow Directors for their dedication and hard work during this challenging period.

Finally, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all of our staff, both here in Hong Kong, Melbourne and at the Martabe site. With their energy, enthusiasm and commitment, I am confident that we can begin realising the full potential of this extraordinary project in the very near future.

Chiu Tao

Chairman Hong Kong, 29 September 2011

CEO's Report

"The strong fundamentals of Martabe remain unchanged and are continually being enhanced by the addition of more ounces of gold and silver."

Peter Geoffrey Albert,

Chief Executive Officer

Dear shareholders,

For G-Resources, the past year has been one of both challenge and achievement. I cannot say enough about our people in G-Resources who have all worked extremely hard to deliver some outstanding results.

During the year, we have come out of the uncertainties of the technical challenges at Martabe. We have had to restructure and reconfigure parts of the project, but we now have a clear path forward and are getting on with delivering this world-class mine.

The strong fundamentals of Martabe remain unchanged and are continually being enhanced by the addition of more ounces of gold and silver in Resources and Reserves. Martabe has a great ore body, good grade, low mining cost, simple process technology, outstanding existing infrastructure and logistics, and an experienced and capable management team. What has changed is the optimisation of the layout of the project facilities, which is now ideally structured to the operating environment.

The Martabe Project is being executed to the best international standards. At every step of the way, we utilise the best available expertise, whether for example, designing our tailings dams, auditing our Resources and Reserves or independently assessing our capital costs.

However, as our Chairman mentioned in his statement, the final capital cost estimate and schedule have had to be revised. The capital cost increased as a consequence of the additional time required to deliver the project as well as the costs to rectify the previous geotechnical issues and re-build facilities. Nevertheless, at less than US\$250/oz of gold our operating cash costs remain within the bottom quartile as a consequence of the great project fundamentals and strong silver by-product credit. As far as our schedule is concerned, our original plan was to be into production by end of 2011, however, the likelihood of this being achieved became increasingly unlikely, and we have revised our target to first bullion production before end of Q1 2012.

As at end of August 2011 all contracts had been awarded, more than 2,500 people were working at Martabe, the plant site earthworks are complete, concrete was well advanced, steel was being erected and the processing equipment delivered. Progress has been tremendous in recent weeks and the project teams have shown great dedication and commitment. This effort has been from all quarters, PTAR project management and our key contractors who have all committed their support for the project at the highest levels of their organisations.

The operations team is starting to get into full swing with mining activities daily increasing in momentum, placing of contracts for supply of consumables well advanced and recruitment of all senior persons now complete. Building a new operation from the ground up is no easy task, and at PTAR we have put together a team of experienced professionals who are setting up Martabe for long term sustainable success.

Growth in Resources and Reserves at Martabe has been a great achievement this year. Within our 1,639 km2 Contract of Work, we have added some 15% more gold and 9% more silver to our resource base, and we expect more as we continue to drill out the existing ore bodies and explore new prospects in the highly gold and silver mineralised Martabe district. This enables us to look at planning for longer life and expanded production.

Given the aggressive nature of our works schedule and exploration programme, the safety record at Martabe is outstanding. We have now passed more than 300 days without a lost time injury, and in total we have worked more than 3.5 million hours without a lost time injury. This is an enviable achievement in any environment and at Martabe, with a relatively inexperienced local team, it is testament to the Company's focus on the safety of all our employees. This is part of our GREAT (Growth, Respect, Excellence, Action and Transparency) core values and our commitment

to social responsibility. In addition to worker safety, we are working to maintain the environmental integrity of the Martabe district and to implement social programmes such as our eye cataract surgery project.

We have very good relations with local community leaders as well as government at all levels and maintain a constant dialogue with them. During the year, we continued our discussions with government on formalising the Letter of Intent signed by the previous owner of the project to transfer 5% of the project to the local governments. We believe it is vitally important to honour that obligation so that the local community will benefit directly from the success of the Martabe Project.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognise the support of the governments within Indonesia at the Central, Provincial and District levels. Without their support and guidance, our task would be that much harder. Within the Indonesian Government, there is a clear recognition of the sustained value that can be added to the country and standards of living by long term mining projects.

I would also like to give my heartfelt thanks to our Directors for their encouragement over the past year as well as our shareholders who continued to demonstrate their confidence in the Martabe Project. In particular, I would like to give special mention to our staff at the Martabe Project site, who have worked so hard over the past year to overcome the challenges we have faced and bring the mine closer to production.

This is an exciting time to be at G-Resources, and I am proud to work alongside this immensely talented and dedicated team.

Peter Geoffrey Albert Chief Executive Officer Hong Kong, 29 September 2011

GOING FOR GROWTH BY LEVERAGING ON A SOLID RESOURCE BASE

7.46 MILLION OUNCES

As a result of our aggressive exploration programme, we continue to discover new resources. Our total Mineral Resource for 2011 is an estimated 7.46 million ounces of gold and 72.60 million ounces of silver, with more expected in the future.

Left photo: Exploration Superintendent Dunan Siregar examines a core sample.

Project Overview: Martabe

With a resource base of 7.46 million ounces of gold and 72.60 million ounces of silver, Martabe is G-Resources Group's primary asset.

NAME Martabe
LOCATION North Sumatra Province, Indonesia
PRODUCT Gold/silver bullion
MINING METHOD Open pit
PROCESSING METHOD Mine, crush, SAG/Ball mill, carbon-in-leach (CIL) operation
FIRST PRODUCTION March 2012
PRODUCTION FORECAST Annual estimate 250,000 ounces gold and 2-3 million ounces silver
WORKFORCE Approximately 3,250 employees and contractors as at 30 September 2011

G-Resources is a Hong Kong based and listed gold mining company, which has the Martabe Project in North Sumatra, Indonesia as our core starter asset. G-Resources' strategic vision is to build an Asia Pacific focused gold company. We will do this initially by building Martabe to the highest quality, with due attention to employee safety, the environment and the communities in which we operate. This sets the standard for other potential businesses in Indonesia and across the region as G-Resources grows organically and by acquisition of projects and developments that meet our specific criteria.

Martabe

The Martabe Project is located on the western side of the Indonesian island of Sumatra in the Province of North Sumatra, in the sub-district of Batangtoru. The project is established under a sixth generation Contract of Work ("COW"), which was signed in April 1997. The COW defines all of the terms, conditions and obligations of both G-Resources and the Government of Indonesia for the life of the COW.

With a resource base of 7.46 million ounces of gold and 72.60 million ounces of silver, Martabe is G-Resources Group's primary asset, around which a globally competitive, Asia-Pacific focused gold company will be built. The Martabe Project is currently in construction and when completed will produce around 250,000 ounces per annum of gold and 2-3 million ounces per annum of silver, at an anticipated low cash cost for the Purnama pit of less than US\$250/oz of gold.

G-Resources is seeking to rapidly grow production to more than one million ounces of gold annually through exploration of the large and highly prospective COW area and through acquisition of other quality gold assets. The Martabe Project enjoys the strong support of the Indonesian Central, Provincial and Local governments as well as the nearby communities of Batangtoru.

Construction of Martabe

The target for first gold and ramp up at Martabe is the first quarter of 2012. Martabe has been the major focus for the Company with construction ongoing over the past year. The Martabe operation will comprise the Purnama open pit mine with a low strip ratio of 1.3:1, conventional processing plant with 4.5 Mtpa capacity, a permanent village, haulage roads, high voltage switchyard, onsite workshop and warehousing, and a tailings storage facility with associated water catchment and diversion systems.

Plant site under construction.

The Martabe Project, our core starter asset located in the Province of North Sumatra, Indonesia, is the site of one of the world's great resources of gold and silver. First discovered some 10 years ago, the deposits in the Project area are currently known to contain 7.46 Moz of gold and 72.60 Moz of silver.

Milestones achieved

During the year, we made good progress on our construction timetable and achieved a number of key milestones. All major contracts were awarded during the period, and delivery of equipment to Martabe, including all large components, was well advanced.

Our project management contractor, Ausenco Limited, completed all engineering and procurement activities. PT Leighton Indonesia concluded the excavation and bulk earthworks on the carbon-in leach ("CIL"), the mill and the high voltage switchyard platforms, as well as the crusher areas. Major concrete pours were done on the large building structures, the mill foundations and the ring beams in the CIL area.

Tank erection by PT Epiterma Mas is well advanced and construction of the high voltage switchyard is progressing.

Operations

Mining operations commenced at the Purnama pit during the period, with the development of pit access roads and removal of overburden. We made excellent progress on the main mine haul roads, allowing full access to the area and the opportunity to mine the first waste followed by the first ore.

All senior management positions were appointed and key process, maintenance and training staff placements are well on the way to being filled. The senior management team is a seasoned and well-experienced group of professionals who bring a wealth of knowledge and capability to the project. Process and training systems for all areas of the operation have been developed and are being implemented as the project develops.

Recruitment and training of local personnel is well underway towards achieving our goal of 70% local employment in our workforce. This investment aims to generate long-term and sustainable benefits for the local region. As an element of the G-Resources strategy to support diversity, we continued to encourage women to join our workforce and rise to senior roles within our organisation.

CIL tank erection.

Milestones to first gold

A number of key milestones have been set for the remainder of the construction phase. G-Resources and the key contractors involved in the project continue to work consistently to this schedule to ensure that Martabe is delivered in the first quarter of 2012. Some of the remaining milestones to first gold include:

CIL processing tank erection complete Oct-11
Administration and service buildings complete Nov-11
ROM stockpile ready for ore Nov-11
Commissioning start Jan-12
Ball mill installation complete Jan-12
TSF starter complete Jan-12
First HV power available Jan-12
SAG mill installation complete Feb-12
Primary crusher installation complete Feb-12
Gold room complete Feb-12
First gold Mar-12

Costs

The Martabe Project has a low estimated life-of-mine cost structure for the Purnama pit of less than US\$250/oz of gold (net of by products), which compares very favourably to other gold mining operations around the world. The low cost structure is due to a number of factors, including the capacity and size of the project, the shallow location of the deposit that results in a low strip ratio of 1.3:1, the good grade of the ore and straightforward gold extraction process. In addition, Martabe benefits from the advantageous location of the project, with the potential to reduce transportation costs and provide access to a large base of skilled Indonesian workers.

Case Study – Training Female Equipment Operators

From the start of the Martabe Project, G-Resources has had a strong and clear commitment to employing as many people from the communities close to the mine as possible. This commitment, which has been made to the community and local government, requires a significant investment in training and development. The Company is also ensuring that women in the area have equal employment opportunities at Martabe.

Mindful of cultural and religious norms, the Company first consulted with local people, leaders and government officers, who supported the initiative. The Company then engaged its key mining contractor, PT Leighton Indonesia, to provide a programme of recruitment, training and development of women for driving heavy mine trucks.

PT Leighton Indonesia conducts a three month theoretical and practical training course to prepare the new operators. Using a driving simulator, the trainees start from a zero skill base and eventually become safe, efficient and competent operators of the equipment. Currently, some recruits have reached the level of Foreman, and it is anticipated that in the future more female employees will attain higher positions within the Company. There have been seven intakes of trainees so far, bringing the total number of female equipment operators now at Martabe to 60.

One of the successful trainees employed at Martabe is 22-year-old Basaria Hutapea. Educated at the local senior high school, Basaria joined the programme as a trainee operator on 1 November 2010, was promoted to mine truck driver on 1 February 2011, and promoted to Foreman on 26 June 2011.

When discussing her experience at Martabe, Basaria says she is grateful for the opportunity and training that she has received and that it has enabled

her to earn a better living and take care of her family. The training and work has given her a higher degree of confidence, and she enjoys her role as Foreman. Other women employed at Martabe said they wish to expand their skills base through further training on other equipment. They are much more optimistic about the future as they see the long-term benefits of the mine, not only for themselves but for the wider community.

Tim Duffy, General Manager of Operations at Martabe, says: "This initiative is a ground-breaking endeavour for the Company and for the local community. The performance of the drivers to date has been outstanding. We are really happy with what we have shown can be achieved, and we are now looking for further opportunities to keep this initiative going."

Martabe Mineral Resource and Reserve Statement (As at 30 September 2011)

1. Exploration overview

The Martabe Contract of Work ("COW") occurs within the Java-Sumatra portion of the Sunda-Bandah magmatic arc. The Java-Sumatra portion of the arc has approximately 30 million ounces of gold in resources and past production, and a newly discovered major porphyry copper system. Recent discoveries and expansions at Martabe, Tujuh Bukit, Miwah and Sorok Mas have shown the potential of the Java-Sumatra Arc, which remains under-explored relative to many of the world's major gold-copper belts. The Martabe COW covers 1,639 km2 along 110 km of strike length of the Sumatra fault, which is a major control for mineral deposits along the Java-Sumatra Arc.

In 2010-2011, exploration work focused on the following:

  • • the discovery of new systems in the Martabe district;
  • • delineation of new resources near the Martabe operations;
  • • early stage exploration on the COW; and
  • • exploration for potential buried porphyry copper-gold bodies near the Martabe deposits.

Overall, 196 diamond drill holes for 33,195 metres were completed between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011.

The programme was successful, achieving the following notable outcomes:

    1. Maiden resource estimates were completed for the Purnama Timur and Tor Uluala deposits, in total adding 0.96 million ounces ("Moz") of gold and 6.40 Moz of silver to the Inferred and Indicated Resources at Martabe.
    1. Discovery of the Horas deposit in October 2010, with drilling to resource definition stage nearly complete by 30 June 2011 and a maiden resource estimate expected in the near future.
    1. A reserve estimate was completed for the Ramba Joring deposit.
    1. Deep drilling under the Purnama, Ramba Joring and Tor Uluala deposits reached 800 m below surface and identified a large alteration system with anomalous gold and copper values at depth.
    1. Identification of drill targets for potential high sulphidation epithermal (HSE) and porphyry copper-gold mineralisation at seven prospects on the COW.

2. Martabe Resource and Reserve Development

The period 1 July 2010 to 30 September 2011 saw additions to both the resource and reserve estimates at Martabe. Additional resources were added at the Purnama Timur and Tor Uluala deposits, and the Ramba Joring deposit was partly converted from Inferred Resource to Indicated Resource category with resulting minor variations in estimated total gold and silver content. Overall, an estimated total of 1.01 Moz of gold and 6.24 Moz of silver was added. This represents

Drilling operations at the Tor Uluala Deposit, March 2011.

an increase of 15% in the total gold resource estimate and 9% in the total silver resource estimate for the period. Since acquisition of the Martabe Project in July 2009, G-Resources has added an estimated 1.55 Moz of gold and 11.1 Moz of silver to the Martabe deposits, representing an increase of 26% in gold resources and 18% in silver resources.

At 30 September 2011, G-Resources Group JORC compliant and classified Mineral Resources are estimated to contain 7.46 Moz of gold and 72.60 Moz of silver within the Purnama, Purnama Timur, Barani, Ramba Joring, Tor Uluala and Uluala Hulu deposits at Martabe in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

At the Purnama Timur deposit, a total resource was estimated of 4.97 Mt at 1.5 g/t gold and 13.2 g/t silver for 0.23 Moz of gold and 2.11 Moz of silver. The resource estimate is based on 86 diamond drill holes for a total of 15,487 metres of drilling. This includes an Indicated Resource of 2.37 Mt at 1.3 g/t gold and 15.9 g/t silver, and an Inferred Resource of 2.6 Mt at 1.6 g/t gold and 10.8 g/t silver. The Purnama Timur deposit is directly to the east of the Purnama deposit, and will likely be mined as either an additional pit or an extension to the current pit design.

At the Tor Uluala deposit, an Inferred Resource was estimated of 22.0 Mt at 1.0 g/t gold and 6.0 g/t silver, for 0.73 Moz of gold and 4.29 Moz of silver. The resource estimate is based on 81 diamond drill holes for 17,554 metres of drilling. The Tor Uluala resource is located 1.5 km north of the Martabe plant site and about 200 m to the north of the

Ramba Joring deposit, and consists of multiple mineralised zones extending over 1.5 km. Geological interpretation and preliminary metallurgical testwork indicates that up to half of the resource is oxide to transitional in nature, and will likely prove to be a suitable feed source for the Martabe gold plant. Tor Uluala is open to the north and south and at depth.

At the end of the year, G-Resources Group JORC compliant and classified Ore Reserves are estimated to contain 3.0 Moz of gold and 33.6 Moz of silver within the Purnama, Barani and Ramba Joring deposits at Martabe in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

During 2011, Ramba Joring reserves were added to the combined Martabe reserves as detailed in the table of Ore Reserves Estimates later in this report. The inclusion of Ramba Joring increased the reserves by 315 Koz of gold and 810 Koz of silver. This represents an increase of 11.6% in the total gold reserve estimate and 2.5% in the total silver reserve estimate for the period.

Contained within the Ramba Joring pit design on which the Ore Reserves are based is a total of 24.8 Mt of waste material, resulting in a waste:ore strip ratio of 3.1:1. Included in this waste tonnage is 0.2 Mt of material classified as an Inferred Resource, above the reserve cut off grade. The average grade of this Inferred material is 1.4 g/t gold and 3.6 g/t silver. No economic value has been assigned to this Inferred material in the estimation of these Ore Reserves.

The Ore Reserve Estimate is based on the Mineral Resource Estimate classified as Measured and Indicated after consideration of all mining, metallurgical, social, environmental and financial aspects of the operation. The Proved Ore Reserve has been derived from the Measured Mineral Resource, and the Probable Ore Reserve has been derived from the Indicated Mineral Resource.

The Ore Reserves for Purnama and Barani are based on the Mineral Resource model estimated in September 2010. As there has been no mining since the last reserve statement, the reserves at Purnama and Barani remain unchanged.

3. Martabe District Exploration

In 2010-2011, the majority of exploration work was conducted within the vicinity of the existing Martabe deposits. In the second half of 2010, the Martabe district was explored with early stage exploration and drilling campaigns undertaken on a number of targets. This is based on the proven discovery strategy of moving quickly through multiple targets and, after making the decision to drill to resource status, continuing with further work or suspending work on the target until further information is available.

The objectives of the Martabe district exploration programme were to

    1. Discover and define additional "oxide" gold-silver resources, i.e. resources with potential for mill feed to the Martabe mill currently under construction;
    1. Test the potential for porphyry copper bodies under the known gold-silver deposits; and
    1. Maintain a pipeline of exploration projects at early to advanced stages.

The 2010-2011 programme achieved these three objectives.

To complete the first objective, part of the Ramba Joring Inferred Resource was converted to Indicated category and this was subsequently converted to a Reserve with an open pit mine plan. Additionally, the Tor Uluala Resource is likely to be processed in the Martabe mill.

Work commenced on the second objective with four deep holes drilled under the Purnama, Ramba Joring and Tor Uluala deposits. These holes did not discover direct indicators of a buried porphyry copper system under Martabe. However, the drilling shows a very large alteration system associated with the Martabe gold deposits, with extensive argillic and

advanced argillic alteration down the complete length of drill holes at Ramba Joring and Tor Uluala.

In addition to the large alteration system, a number of anomalous copper-gold zones were intersected at depth. These include individual metre-wide values of 0.59% copper with 4.13 g/t gold, 0.47% copper with 0.94 g/t gold and 0.31% copper with 3.50 g/t gold. These results show that there is potential for deep high sulphidation style mineralisation under the known Martabe deposits. The size and intensity of the alteration system indicate there may be potential for a porphyry copper system to occur outside the area tested.

To complete the third objective, an ongoing programme of field work, geological interpretation and exploration drilling was undertaken close to Martabe. Multiple targets were tested with best results from the Horas programme. This work has resulted in drill targets for late 2011 at the Tor Uluala Barat, Tor Uluala extensions and the Purnama Dalam and Horas Barat prospects. Refer to Figure 1 for prospect and deposit locations.

4. Regional exploration

Work in 2010-2011 on the COW focused on geological mapping, surface sampling and interpretation at seven prospects, which together represent a range of geological targets, namely:

  • • A sediment hosted gold target at the Baning prospect;
  • • An outcropping epithermal gold target at the Tango Papa prospect;
  • • A conceptual buried porphyry target based on inversion modelling of detailed aeromagnetic data at the Baning Bullseye prospect,1.5 km north-east of Baning;
  • • A buried resistivity anomaly at the Baning West prospect, 1 km west of Baning;
  • • Extension of known gold intersections at the Kapur prospect;
  • • Extension of known gold intersections at the Gambir prospect; and
  • • A conceptual porphyry copper target at the Tani Hill prospect near Gambir, based on geophysics and surface mapping completed in late 2010.

These targets were drill ready by June 2011. In addition, an ongoing programme of geophysical and geological interpretation has located several targets with potential for porphyry copper and epithermal gold mineralisation. The 2011-2012 year will see an acceleration of the regional exploration programme.

FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY, SAFETY AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Our safety record of 4.4 million hours worked without a lost-time injury is among the best in the industry. This achievement is part of our GREAT core values of social responsibility to our workers, the community and the environment. 4.4 MILLION

HOURS

G-Resources and Sustainability

We are progressively developing an integrated Health, Safety, Environment, and Community Management system, with the objective of international best practice.

G-Resources believes that mines should be developed, operated and decommissioned in a manner that is socially responsible. To achieve this, the Company takes into account a range of potentially complex issues relating to project approval, protection of the environment, and social welfare. By working towards these outcomes in a consistent manner, G-Resources aims to establish and maintain a reputation for being a valued and trusted member of the communities in which we work and live, and an industry leader in safety, the environment and community management.

Like many mines in Indonesia, the Martabe site is located close to local communities and high value natural ecosystems. Our success as a company will therefore depend on our ability to gain and maintain the trust and goodwill of these local communities and minimise our environmental and social impacts. These goals are consistent with the principle of sustainable development, which can be defined as follows:

To meet the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987).

This belief in sustainability is reflected in how we approach every aspect of the design and construction of our project, and later will be expressed in how we operate our project. Some key elements of our work towards sustainable development of the Martabe Project are described below.

Environmental Impact Assessment

The process of assessing potential environmental and social impacts resulting from a development and identifying appropriate management strategies to minimise these impacts, is called environmental impact assessment. This process has been a very important part of the development of the Martabe Project.

Indonesian law requires environmental impact assessments to be completed for mining projects. The key Government approval requirement is the AMDAL assessment, which takes into account both environmental and social aspects and issues. It comprises a set of documents, namely an Environmental Impact Analysis, a Management Plan and a Monitoring Plan.

AMDAL documents are open to the public, and community consultation is required as part of the approval process. A first step in the AMDAL is completion of baseline studies. These must address all relevant environmental and social aspects. The approved AMDAL then becomes a compliance document for the operation.

The AMDAL for the Martabe Project was commenced in 2007 and completed in 2008. This work was based on over 25 environmental studies and 13 social studies conducted by a range of consultants since 2000. These consultants were from a wide range of scientific disciplines, including geotechnical and civil engineers, ecologists, hydrologists and sociologists. Approval of the AMDAL was received from Government in 2008.

An integrated Environmental, Health and Community Management System

The successful management of potential environmental and social impacts resulting from a mining operation depends on the implementation of an effective management system. At the Martabe Project, we are progressively developing an integrated Health, Safety, Environment, and Community Management system, with the objective of international best practice.

We call this the GABE system. GABE is taken from the language of the local Batak people and means successful life, encompassing aspects such as wealth, welfare, health, knowledge, social values, respect, and the welfare of future generations. The GABE Management System is being developed in conformance with key international standards and protocols:

ISO 14001 Standard for Environmental
Management Systems.
OHSAS 18001 Standard for Occupational Health
and Safety Management Systems.
GRI Protocol for sustainability reporting.
Cyanide Code Protocol for managing cyanide used
in mining.

Our Environmental Policy commits us to

  • • Best practice environmental management
  • • A systematic, risk based approach
  • • Committed leadership
  • • Engagement with stakeholders
  • • Compliance
  • • Planning for closure

Our Community Policy commits us to

  • • Partnership with the community
  • • Mutual benefit
  • • Sustainable development
  • • Respect for human rights, values and traditions

The GABE standards address risk, define outcomes, assign accountabilities, and are readily auditable by a third-party.

Environmental Management

Continual improvement of environmental performance at our operations to protect biodiversity and prevent pollution is paramount. To achieve our environmental management goals, our management team includes 24 specialist environmental staff, led by an Environmental Manager with international experience. Our environmental management programmes are typical of an open-cut mine in the tropics:

  • • Environmental monitoring
  • • Reporting to Government and other stakeholders
  • • Site rehabilitation
  • • Runoff water management
  • • Waste and chemical management
  • • Closure planning

Roadside area rehabilitation (before and after).

Environmental Monitoring at the Martabe Project

Under Indonesian environmental law, mine sites must operate under an approved environmental monitoring plan ("RPL"). The RPL for the Martabe Project specifies a range of sampling requirements – water, air, fauna and flora – that must be done on a regular basis. These samples are collected by mine staff or specialised consultants from a standard set of locations around the site. They are then analysed at independent laboratories to provide an ongoing measure of the quality of the local environment.

Currently, the site is still under construction and most of the potential for impact is related to land clearing. Once operations commence, the use of chemicals will become important, and the monitoring programme will allow us to measure any potential impact from our activities. All results are presented to Government in a twice-annual monitoring report.

Our approved monitoring plan commits us to a comprehensive monitoring programme addressing air quality, soil erosion, water quality and river levels. Results are reported to Government every six months.

We are committed to returning disturbed land to a safe and productive condition. To date, over 90 hectares has been revegetated with legumes, grasses and tree seedlings.

Mining activities include the extraction of gold bearing rock which is processed and waste rock which is stored in safely engineered structures. As is the case with most mines, the waste materials at Martabe have varying geochemical characteristics: some may be acid generating, some may be neutralising and some may be inert. The different characteristics have to be understood so that the optimum mixing of materials can occur in order to eliminate any potential for environmental impact.

At Martabe, testing of waste material has been ongoing since 2004. Detailed waste management plans are being developed. The best-practice management of our waste rock will be ongoing as we develop our understanding over time.

Tailings and Water Management

The gold mining process produces rock slurry, known as tailings. Tailing management is a critical area in terms of longterm environmental liability, and G-Resources has placed the highest priority on a safe solution for tailings disposal. These measures are summarised as follows:

  • • All tailings will be contained in a conventional Tailings Storage Facility ("TSF"), engineered to industry bestpractice standards;
  • • Feasibility and detailed design studies have been done by an internationally recognised geotechnical consultancy;
  • • The stability of the TSF design has been thoroughly assessed, and is designed to be stable under estimated maximum credible earthquake criteria;
  • • The design complies with stability criteria of the Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD);
  • • We have fully met the requirements of the Indonesian Dam Safety Commission;
  • • Very extensive water balance modelling has been conducted for the Project; and
  • • A waste water treatment plant is an integral component of the water management system.

We will continually review our tailings management strategies during operations. We have the benefit of experience of several sites within the country where tailings has been managed to a very high standard within conventional tailings storage facilities.

Safety Management

G-Resources has the goal of zero harm to our employees and contractors who work on our premises. We believe that all industrial accidents are preventable. To reduce the risk of accidents to a very low level requires a highly disciplined and consistent approach, addressing both workplace condition and worker behaviour.

In total, there are 53 people involved in line safety roles. Over 1,980 inspections have been done since the commencement of construction. The very dynamic nature of the construction

phase has required a responsive management approach, and a key feature of daily management has been an immediate response to all incidents occurring in the previous 24 hours, allowing rapid implementation of additional safety controls as required to address risk.

A key part of our safety programme is training, and we have a dedicated safety training section that delivers training on a range of topics from general induction to light vehicle operation, working at height and risk assessment.

These coordinated safety management efforts have resulted in an exceptionally good safety performance for a construction site in the wet tropics. At the end of September 2011, the site had achieved 4.4 million manhours without a lost-time injury.

Community Relations

We respect the cultures, customs and values of the communities in which we do business. Successful management of our relationship with local communities is critical to the success of our Project. We have 27 people in our Community Relations Department to assist in the implementation of a range of special projects and programmes to assist in the development of the local communities. These projects and programmes have included the following:

  • • Site tours for interested groups and a bi-monthly newsletter;
  • • Town hall meetings at which the mine management has presented on progress reports and has been available to answer any questions or concerns;
  • • Humanitarian aid, and financial support for National Day celebrations, religious activities, women's activities and sport and community activities;
  • • Financial support for improvement of public sanitation, sport facilities, public infrastructure and Government facilities;
  • • Assistance for a malnutrition recovery program, training for midwives and health volunteers, and an HIV/AIDS prevention programme;
  • • Assistance in the development of community libraries known as "reading gardens" as well as a community scholarship programme; and
  • • A local business development programme.

Cataract Surgery Programme

In April 2011, the World Health Organisation estimated that 284 million people were visually impaired worldwide and that 80% of all visual impairments could be avoided or cured. This year, G-Resources joined with the Indonesian Military and Dr Sanduk Ruit, a renowned and respected humanitarian doctor, to provide free cataract surgery for more than 1,000 underprivileged people. G-Resources donated funding and communication support, while the Indonesian military provided doctors and nurses and facilities for surgery in two locations, Medan and Sidempuan.

The local communities were introduced to the offer of surgery through a series of banners, posters, flyers and communication through G-Resources employees. A total of 1,011 people were operated on between 14 and 24 June. Eleven children below 10 years old received surgery, thirtythree were aged 10-29, ninety-three were aged 30-49, four hundred and seventy-eight were aged 50-69 with the remainder being 70 years and older.

Following surgery, 100% of the patients can now see clearly. This high profile programme provided a positive impact to the local community with long-term sustainable benefits to those involved. An example of some patients who experienced surgery success is given in the case study on page 29.

Reading Gardens

G-Resources together with local government and villagers established reading gardens in two local villages. Two more are now under construction. These provide local children with access to a library where otherwise there would be none.

Employment

Currently the operations group is employing over 800 local persons, comprising about 42% of the total workforce. In Operations, we will be targeting 70% local employment. The promotion of local employment is providing opportunities for training and development previously unavailable to local youth. These are skills that will open up employment opportunities across the country.

Sustainability Reporting

We have decided to conform to the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") Reporting Framework for corporate sustainability reporting. This is a voluntary international code that assists companies in reporting on sustainability in a consistent and transparent manner, allowing comparison across companies and industries.

In 2011, we assessed the so-called GRI performance indicators based on relevance to our situation and reportability. We will select a number of these for commencement of reporting in 2012, and plan on progressive implementation of this protocol over the next three years.

Case Study

Maslia and Nurasni Lubis are sisters, aged 15 and 19. They are local girls and both were bilaterally blind from cataracts.

Maslia is a smart student in secondary school and is ranked 3rd in her class. Maslia was keen to see and always asked her parents, both farmers, to take her to clinics, but the clinics could not restore her sight. Nurasni had the opposite experience. Constant teasing by friends calling her "blind girl" and the inability to keep up with school work caused low self-esteem and she eventually dropped out of school.

Being blind made it difficult for the girls to enjoy school activities. They couldn't participate in sports or go to school without friends to help. On 16 June 2011 they both had cataract surgery and their vision was restored the very next day. They were delighted with the result and visiting the market to buy purple dresses was high on their to-do-list once they could see.

Results

The Martabe Project of the Company is still under construction and is not generating any revenue for the Company. For the year ended 30 June 2011, the Group's turnover amounted to approximately USD0.5 million, which was mainly generated from the financial information services (WINFCS) for the year under review (2010: USD0.7 million).

Loss attributable to owners of the Company from the operations for the current year was approximately USD21.4 million, compared to a loss of approximately USD45.3 million in the corresponding year of 2010, representing a decrease of 53%. The reduction in loss was mainly due to (i) the relatively stable performance of the Group's investment portfolio which recorded a loss of USD4.1 million as a result of fair value changes of held for trading investment in the current year as compared with a loss of approximately USD22.2 million recorded for the year ended 30 June 2010; (ii) the Group has effectively reduced its administrative expense by approximately USD2.1 million from USD21.4 million for 2010 to USD19.3 million for the year under review; and (iii) increase in interest income of USD1.6 million generated from the available for sale investment.

Net Asset Value

As at 30 June 2011, the Group's total net asset amounted to approximately USD590 million, represented a decrease of USD12 million as compared to approximately USD602 million as at 30 June 2010. The decrease in net assets was attributable to the general running cost of the Group during the non-revenue generating construction period of its mine operation.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

The Group recorded a net cash outflow of approximately USD144 million during the year ended 30 June 2011 of which approximately USD131 million was applied in the capital expenditure of the mine operation. As at 30 June 2011, cash and bank balances of the Group amounted to approximately USD136 million (2010: approximately USD280 million). Bank deposit of approximately USD92,000 was pledged to a bank to secure the cutting tree permit granted to a subsidiary of the Group as at 30 June 2011 (2010: USD92,000).

As at 30 June 2010, a fixed charge on the entire share interest of Agincourt Resources (Singapore) Pte Limited and a floating charge over all the assets of G-Resources Martabe Pty Limited, both being wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, were granted to an independent third party to secure certain contractual obligations of PT Agincourt Resources to pay royalty to this independent third party. The charges were released during the year upon entering into a deed of release and a deed of indemnity with third parties.

The Group's gearing ratio, expressed as the percentage of the Group's total borrowings over shareholders' equity, was nil at 30 June 2011 (2010: nil) as the Group did not have any borrowings as at 30 June 2011 and 2010.

Material Acquisitions and Disposals of Subsidiaries and Associated Companies

There was no material acquisition or disposal of subsidiaries and associated companies during the year.

Exposure to Fluctuations in Exchange Rates and Related Hedge

The Group conducted most of its business in United States dollars ("USD"), Australian dollars ("AUD"), Indonesian Rupiah ("IDR") and Hong Kong dollars ("HKD"). The foreign currency exposure to USD is minimal as HKD is pegged to USD. The Group exposes to foreign currency risk that are denominated in AUD and IDR. The Group currently does not have hedging policy against AUD and IDR. However, management monitors the Group's foreign currency exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign exchange rate exposure should the need arise.

Business Outlook

With gold prices hitting unprecedented highs, we at G-Resources are working steadily and diligently to complete our mine and begin gold production.

Looking beyond Martabe, we are maintaining our strategy of growing G-Resources into a leading Asia-Pacific gold company. Although we are currently focused on Martabe as our core starter asset, we have and will continue to evaluate potential new opportunities in the region according to our strict quality criteria. We are committed to optimising the Martabe asset and developing a pipeline of projects of similar quality that will enable us to be producing one million ounces of gold per annum within five years.

Nomination of Directors

The Company has not set up any nomination committee. Directors are responsible for identifying suitable qualified individuals for directorship and making recommendation to the Board for consideration. The Board will identify and recommend the proposed candidates to the Board for approval of an appointment as a Director based on certain criteria such as appropriate experience and personal skills that the nominated individual can bring to the Board, his or her capability to maintain and improve the competitiveness of the Company, and his or her ability to contribute to the Board in formulating Company policy and strategies, as well as effective ways of discharging the Board's responsibilities.

Internal Control and Risk Management

The Board has overall responsibility for maintaining a sound and effective internal control system for the Group.

The system is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss and to manage rather than eliminate risks of failure in operational systems and achievement of the Group's objectives.

The Board, through the Audit Committee, has conducted an annual review of the effectiveness of the Group's system of internal control. The Board is satisfied that the Group has fully complied with the code provisions ("Code Provision(s)") of the Corporate Governance Code on internal control during the year under review although an internal audit function was not set up in the internal control system of the Group. The Group has appointed Messrs PricewaterhouseCoopers to conduct review on the internal control of PT Agincourt Resources, the Martabe Project development company, on some aspects of operation.

Corporate Governance Code

In the opinion of the Directors, throughout the year ended 30 June 2011 the Company has applied the principles of the Corporate Governance Code and complied with all the applicable code provisions thereof, except that the existing non-executive Director and INEDs were not appointed for a specific term as required under the Code Provision A.4.1 but are subject to retirement by rotation and re-election at each annual general meeting in accordance with the Bye-laws of the Company. As such, the Company considers that sufficient measures have been taken to ensure that the Company has good corporate governance practices.

IndependentAuditor's Report

TO THE MEMBERS OF G-RESOURCES GROUP LIMITED (incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability)

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of G-Resources Group Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 57 to 101, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors' Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 90 of the Bermuda Companies Act, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 30 June 2011 and of the Group's loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

2. Change of Presentation Currency

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 are presented in United State dollars ("USD"), which is different from the presentation currency of Hong Kong dollars ("HKD") used in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the change of presentation currency from HKD to USD is made in order to present more relevant information as the management controls and monitors the performance and financial position of the Group based on USD.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as issued in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as revised in November 2010) adds requirements for financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Under HKFRS 9, all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of the reporting periods. All other debt investments and all equity investments are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting periods.

In relation to financial liabilities, the significant change relates to financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the presentation of the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013, with earlier application permitted. The application of HKFRS 9 will affect the classification and measurement of the Group's available-for-sale investments.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Group.

4. Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • • the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
  • • the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
  • • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
  • • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
  • • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Service income is recognised when services are provided.

Proceeds from sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss/available-for-sale investments are recognised on a trade date basis when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred and title has passed.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividend income from investments including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, including building held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes (other than construction in progress) are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment (other than construction in progress and mine property and development assets) less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Construction in progress includes property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production or for its own use purposes. Construction in progress is carried at cost less any recognised impairment loss. Construction in progress is classified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Mine property and development assets include costs of exploration and evaluation, cost to acquire mineral rights and subsequent costs to develop the mine to the production phase.

When future economic benefits are established by further development expenditure is incurred in respect of an area of interest in production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the cost of that mine property only if future economic benefits are established. Otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.

The amortisation of mine property and development assets commences when the mine starts commercial production and is calculated on the unit of production basis, based on the actual production volume over the total estimated proven and probable reserves of the gold and silver mine.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets are recognised at cost.

Exploration and evaluation assets represent costs of acquiring exploration rights and the expenditures in the search for mineral resources on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the legal right to explore an area are recognised in profit or loss.

Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)

Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights to the area of interest are current and either:

  • • the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or
  • • activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if:

  • • sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability;
  • • facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

Where a potential impairment is indicated, an assessment is performed for each area of interest or at the cash generating unit level. To the extent that capitalised expenditure is not expected to be recovered, it is charged to the profit or loss.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrated, any previously recognised exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mine property and development assets (included in property, plant and equipment).

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. USD) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (the exchange reserve).

Retirement benefits scheme

The retirement benefits scheme contributions relating to the mandatory provident fund scheme for all employees in Hong Kong and state-managed retirement benefit scheme for all employees in Indonesia charged to profit and loss represent contributions payable to the scheme by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the scheme.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets

The Group's financial assets are classified into one of the three categories, including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets are within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at FVTPL represent financial assets held for trading.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future;
  • • it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
  • • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value arising from re-measurement recognised directly in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss excludes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, pledged bank deposits and bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments.

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in investment revaluation reserve, until the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period.

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

For an available-for-sale equity investment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of that investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
  • • breach of contracts, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or
  • • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
  • • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables, where the carrying amounts are reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade and other receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments will not be reversed in profit or loss in subsequent periods. Any increase in fair value subsequent to impairment loss is recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in revaluation reserve.

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group's financial liabilities are generally classified as other financial liabilities.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including trade and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or, the financial assets are transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material).

Provision for mine rehabilitation cost

Provision for mine rehabilitation cost is required when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provision is measured based on the area of land disturbed in drilling activities for the mine project as a whole in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations applicable in Indonesia at the end of the reporting period, and using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation. Its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material). The payments for the mine rehabilitation cost is required by the local authority upon the closure of the respective mine project.

Mine rehabilitation cost is provided in the period in which the obligation is identified and is capitalised to the costs of mine property and development assets. The cost is charged to profit or loss through depreciation of assets, which are depreciated using the unit of production method based on the actual production volume over the estimated total proved and probable reserves.

Impairment losses on assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss, if any. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amounts, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Share-based payment transactions

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

Share options granted to directors and employees of the Company

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period/in full at the grant date when the share options granted vest immediately, with a corresponding increase in equity (share options reserve).

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to share options reserve.

At the time when the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share options reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

Share options granted to suppliers/consultants

Share options issued in exchange for goods or services are measured at the fair values of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the goods or services received are measured by reference to the fair value of the share options granted. The fair values of the goods or services received are recognised as expenses, when the Group obtains the goods or when the counterparties render services, unless the goods or services qualify for recognition as assets. Corresponding adjustment has been made to equity (share options reserve).

5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors of the Company are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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.

Critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies

The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in financial statements.

Value added tax recoverable (included in other receivable (non-current portion))

Included in other receivable (non-current portion) is USD21,889,000 (2010: USD10,538,000) value added tax ("VAT") paid by an Indonesian subsidiary of the Group in connection with its purchase of equipments and services from suppliers. According to relevant tax law and regulations in Indonesia, such VAT payment is refundable upon application by the Group, subject to approval by the relevant Indonesian tax authority. While the Indonesian subsidiary is in the process of obtaining the relevant approval, the relevant approvals have not yet obtained as at 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 and as at the date these consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue. The directors are not aware of any non-compliance with the relevant tax laws and are of the opinion that the approval from relevant tax office will be obtained and VAT will be fully recovered.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Ore reserve and resources estimates

The estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves and resources are based upon interpretations of geological and geophysical models and require assumptions to be made regarding factors such as estimates of future operating performance, future capital requirements, short and long term commodity prices, and short and long term exchange rates. Changes in reported reserves and resources estimates can impact the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, provisions for rehabilitation obligations, as well as the amount of depreciation and amortisation recognised.

5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty (continued)

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Estimated impairment on mine property and development assets and construction in progress

In determining whether there is an impairment of the mine property and development assets and construction in progress of the Group's gold and silver mine located in the Regency of South Tapanuli, Northern Sumartra, Indonesia (the "Martabe Project"), an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units (i.e. the Martabe Project) is required. The value-in-use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the Martabe Project, a suitable discount rate and the estimated period of production in order to calculate the present value. As at 30 June 2010, the management estimated that the production would commence before the end of 2011. Due to the rainfall and harder ground conditions than anticipated, the achievement of some of the earthworks and concrete works milestones has not been met. Therefore, the management estimated that the production would only commence before the end of first quarter of 2012. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. As at 30 June 2011, the carrying amount of mine property and development assets and construction in progress are USD238,461,000 (2010: USD201,023,000) and USD228,124,000 (2010: USD102,607,000), respectively.

Estimated impairment on exploration and evaluation assets

In determining whether there is an impairment of the exploration and evaluation assets of the Martabe Project, it is required to assess whether there is any impairment indicator which indicates that there is impairment on its exploration and evaluation assets including (a) the period for which the Indonesian subsidiary has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed; (b) substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned; (c) exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the Indonesian subsidiary has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; (d) sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale. As at 30 June 2011, the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is USD1,942,000 (2010: USD517,000).

Provision for mine rehabilitation cost

Provision for mine rehabilitation cost has been estimated by the directors based on current regulatory requirements and the area affected in drilling and construction activities in the Martabe project area estimated by the management and is discounted to their present value. Significant changes in the regulatory requirements in relation to such costs will result in changes to the provision amounts from period to period. In addition, the expected timing of cash outflows of such mine rehabilitation cost is estimated based on the expected closure date of the Martabe Project and is subject to any significant changes to the production plan. As at 30 June 2011, the balance of provision for mine rehabilitation cost was USD2,628,000 (2010: USD1,390,000).

Buildings 10%
Plant and equipment 20%
Leasehold improvements 10% to 50% or over the terms of the leases whichever is shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20%

All the shares issued by the Company during the year ended 30 June 2010 rank pari passu with the then existing ordinary shares in all respects.

22. Share-Based Payment Transactions

The Company's share option scheme was adopted pursuant to a resolution passed on 30 July 2004 (the "2004 Scheme"), for the purpose of providing incentives or rewards to directors, employees, invested entities, suppliers and customers of the Group and entities that provide research, development or technological support or other services to the Group, any shareholders of any members of the Group or any invested entities or any holders of any securities issued by any members of the Group or any invested entities. The 2004 scheme will expire on 29 July 2014. Under the 2004 Scheme, the Board of Directors of the Company may grant options to eligible employees, including executive directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, to subscribe for shares in the Company.

The maximum number of shares of the Company which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the 2004 Scheme or any other share option scheme adopted by the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of its issued share capital from time to time. The total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the 2004 Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Group must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares in issue unless it is approved by shareholders in a general meeting of the Company. The maximum number of shares issuable under the options to each eligible participant in any 12-month period is limited to 1% of the shares in issue unless it is approved by shareholders in a general meeting of the Company. Any grant of options under the 2004 Scheme to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of their respective associates must be approved by independent non-executive directors (excluding any independent non-executive director who is the grantee of the options). Any share options granted to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director of the Company or to any of their respective associates, in excess of 0.1% of the shares in issue and with an aggregate value (based on the closing price of the shares at the date of grant) in excess of HK\$5 million (approximately USD641,000), in any 12-month period, are subject to shareholders' approval in a general meeting of the Company.

As at 30 June 2011, the number of shares of the Company in respect of which options had remained outstanding under the 2004 Scheme of the Company was 943,237,355 (2010: 350,746,266), representing 6.7% (2010: 2.5%) of the shares of the Company in issue at that date.

Total consideration received during the year ended 30 June 2011 from eligible participants for taking up the options granted during the year then ended was USD8 (2010: USD3).

Options granted must be taken up within 28 days of the date of grant, upon payment of HK\$1 as the consideration for accepting the grant. The exercise period of the share options granted under the 2004 Scheme shall be determined by the Board of Directors when such options are granted, provided that such period shall not end more than 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price is determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, and will not be less than the highest of the closing price of the Company's shares at the date of grant, the average closing price of the Company's shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant and the nominal value of the Company's shares.

As part of the remuneration package to the five key managements, the Company also entered into share option agreements (the "Share Option Agreements") with the key managements on 10 May 2009 and 8 June 2009 upon signing of the Service Contracts whereby the Company agrees (subject to Shareholders' approval) to grant share options to each of the key managements upon the terms and conditions as set out therein.

Fair values of the options were determined at the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on respective grant date by Roma Appraisals Limited, independent professional valuers. Share-based payment was recognised over the vesting period based on the management's estimation of the timing when the vesting conditions disclosed above are met. Based on management's estimation and planned production schedule, the first gold production is expected to be commenced by the end of the first quarter of 2012. The fair value of the total share options granted during the year ended 30 June 2011 is USD15,460,000 (2010: USD22,577,000). For the year ended 30 June 2011, the Group recognised the share-based expenses of USD10,029,000 (2010: USD10,267,000) in relation to these share options.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model has been used to estimate the fair value of the options. The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors' best estimate. Changes in variables and assumptions may result in changes in the fair value of the options.

Expected volatility was determined by using the volatility of a set of companies in the mining industry. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations. At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the estimates, if any, is recognised in profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the share option reserve.

23. Acquisition of Assets Through Acquisition of Subsidiaries

On 24 April 2009, Acewick Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acewick"), Polytex Investments Inc. ("Polytex", a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CST Mining Group Limited, previously known as "China Sci-Tech Holdings Limited" ("CST")), a company with common directors of the Group, the Company and CST entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which Polytex conditionally agreed, among other things, to grant a call option to Acewick at a consideration of HK\$1 for a period of six months from the Option Agreement date, whereby Acewick may require Polytex to sell or procure the sale of the entire issued share capital in Maxter Investments Limited ("Maxter") to Acewick (the "Acquisition") at a consideration ranged from USD221 million to USD232.4 million, which would be satisfied by maximum cash consideration of USD222.4 million and ordinary shares of the Company of HK\$0.01 each issued at HK\$0.35 each for the remaining balance.

The Group exercised the option pursuant to the Option Agreement and on 3 July 2009, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Maxter and its subsidiaries, namely G-Resources Martabe Pty Limited, Agincourt Resources (Singapore) Pte Limited, and PT Agincourt Resources (collectively the "Maxter Group") at total consideration of USD228,232,000, satisfied by cash of USD216,946,000 and 221,428,571 ordinary shares of the Company with par value of HK\$0.01 each. The fair value of the newly issued shares of the Company, determined using the closing price of HK\$0.395 each quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 3 July 2009, amounted to approximately USD11,286,000.

The principal assets of Maxter Group are the mine property and development assets of a mine for the Martabe Project and related items of property, plant and equipment. As at 30 June 2010, the Martabe Project is under development and has not yet commenced mining operation.

25. Capital Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Group consists of cash and cash equivalents, and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital, reserves and accumulated losses.

The directors of the Company review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues, share buy-backs or raising of new debt.

26b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's major financial instruments include held for trading investments, trade and other receivables, available-for-sale investments, pledged bank deposits and bank balances, and other payables. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

(i) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances and fair value interest risk in relation to fixed-rate investment in Senior Note Due 2015.

The Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arises.

The exposures of the Group to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note. The cash flow interest rate risk of the Group is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of Hong Kong Interbank Offer Rate arising from the bank balances.

26. Financial Instruments (continued)

26b. Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)

Sensitivity analysis

The Company considers the Group's exposure to cash flow interest rate risk is not significant as those interest-bearing bank balances are within short maturity period. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis was prepared.

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to fair value for its investments in fixed-rate Senior Notes Due 2015 as at 30 June 2011. If the interest rate used to assess the fair value had been 2% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group's investment revaluation reserve as at 30 June 2011 would decrease by USD458,000 (2010: USD772,000)/increase by USD475,000 (2010: USD413,000).

(ii) Other price risk – Investments in equity securities

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through the Group's held for trading investments. Management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. The Group's listed equity price risk is mainly concentrated on equity instruments quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the reporting date.

If the prices of the respective equity securities had been 10% (2010: 10%) higher/lower:

• the Group's post-tax loss for the year would decrease/increase by USD267,000 (2010: USD838,000) as a result of the changes in fair value of held for trading investments.

Credit risk

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties' failure to discharge their obligations in relation to each class of recognised financial assets are the amounts stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, management of the Group has determined credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debtor at the end of each reporting periods to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are financial institutions with good reputation.

The Group has concentrations of credit risk comprising deposits placed at a financial institutions for the Group's bank balances of USD118,450,000 (2010: USD277,129,000), which represents approximately 87% (2010: 99%) of the Group's total bank balances and cash, and investments in the Senior Notes Due 2015 of USD9,329,000 (2010: USD11,985,000) issued by a single counter party. Management considered the credit risk on such balances held at financial institution and the counter party is limited because the financial institution is with good reputation and the single counter party which has its shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is in good financial position.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the operations of the Group and to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank borrowings.

The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

26c. Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • • the fair value of held for trading investments with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid prices;
  • • the fair value of available-for-sale investments is determined in accordance with the Hull-White term structure model; and
  • • the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding held for trading investments and available-for-sale investments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities;
  • • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
  • • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

31. Retirement Benefits Schemes

The Group participates in a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "MPF Scheme") under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for all its employees in Hong Kong. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group, in funds under the control of trustees. Under the rules of MPF Scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to MPF Scheme at rates specified in the rules. The only obligation of the Group with respect to MPF Scheme is to make the required contributions under the MPF Scheme. No forfeited contributions are available to reduce the contributions payable in future years.

The employees in the Group's subsidiary in Indonesia are members of the state-managed retirement benefit scheme (the "Indonesia State-managed Retirement Benefit Scheme") operated by the Indonesian government. The subsidiary is required to contribute a certain percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement benefit scheme is to make specified contributions.

During the year, the total amount contributed by the Group to the MPF Scheme charged to the consolidated income statement, was USD56,000 (2010: USD50,000). The Group also contributed USD86,000 (2010: USD78,000) to the Indonesia State-managed Retirement Benefit Scheme operated by the Indonesian government and the amount was capitalised as mine property and development assets (included in property, plant and equipment).

The contributed surplus of the Company includes (i) the difference between the consolidated shareholders' funds of the subsidiaries at the date at which they were acquired by the Company, and the nominal amount of the Company's shares issued for the acquisition at the time of the group reorganisation prior to the listing of the Company's shares in 1994; (ii) the surplus arising from the group reorganisation in 1998; and (iii) the surplus arising from Capital Reorganisation in June 2009.

Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended), the contributed surplus account of the Company is available for distribution. However, the Company cannot declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus if:

(a) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or

(b) the realisable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts.

In the opinion of the directors, no reserve was available for distribution to shareholders at 30 June 2011 (2010: USD11,091,000).
