DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

COMPANY SECRETARY

Mr. Anthony C. de Govrik – Solicitor. Mr. de Govrik also acts as the company solicitor and was appointed company secretary on 8 October 1992.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activities of the company during the financial year were resource exploration and investment. There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the company that occurred during the year.

RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS

The loss after tax for the year was $494,780 (2009 loss - $1,859,477). No dividends have been declared or paid during the year.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Activities by the Company were concentrated on the Gidgee Project in Western Australia, where a number of geophysical surveys were undertaken and a review of all previous exploration data was completed.

The geophysical surveys included a second Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM) survey following the positive results from an orientation survey carried out in 2009. This survey was designed to test areas of the Montague Granite west and over the historically mined pits, and has resulted in a number of drill targets being identified.

Likewise ground EM surveys completed during the year resulted in a number of anomalies being identified which now require drill testing.

The data review, which has continued from the previous year, resulted in the identification of a number of areas requiring follow-up, including the Rosie Northeast prospect, which includes a historical drill hole with an intersection of 102m @ 0.42g/t that must now be followed up.

The results of the above work have been used in planning a combined air core/reverse circulation drilling programme which is planned to commence early in the December Quarter, 2010.

To accelerate exploration activities Gateway entered into two farm-in agreements with Avenue Resources Limited, a new IPO on the ASX, which listed on September 15, 2010. Under the terms of the agreements as released to the market on June 29, 2010, Avenue will earn equity in the applicable tenements by funding exploration work. This will allow Gateway to concentrate resources on a number of other tenements not subject to the farm-in agreements, with these tenements including the Julia’s Fault gold prospect.

The Company has also completed a rationalization of their Gidgee holdings, relinquishing the Barrelmaker and northern group of tenements, but retaining the core Montague group of tenements.

At the Cowra Project in NSW drilling of a number of EM anomalies by JV partners Minotaur Exploration and Mitsubishi Corporation/Mitsubishi Materials Corporation did not intersect significant gold or copper mineralisation; however evidence of mineralising systems, including appreciable sulphides was found.

Minotaur and Gateway are currently reassessing all datasets with a view to defining further drill targets within the Cowra Project. A program of soil geochemistry and ground geophysics is planned to the north of the drill sites. The sitting of these surveys is based on recently published concepts of sub intrusive alteration and related de-magnetization that are apparent from re-processed geophysical data at Cowra.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

During the year, the company has raised $1,060,000 through a private investment under its share purchase plan and its new share placements.

The share purchase plan raised $500,000 by issuing 6,250,000 shares @ 8 cents per share on 11[th] August 2009.

The new share placement raised $560,000 by issuing 7,000,000 shares @ 8 cents per share on 7[th] October 2009.

The main factor contributing to an increase in the company’s net equity from $8,794,757 to $9,469,813 was the result of the increase in market value of the company’s listed share investments.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The company’s operations are subject to various environmental regulations under State regulations. The Directors are not aware of any material breaches during the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

On 10[th] September 2010, the company raised $495,000 through a private placement of 15,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at 3.3 cents per share with 7,500,000 options attached at an exercise price of 4 cents per share expiring on 1[st] September 2012.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

The directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that it would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the company if any further information on likely developments, future prospects and business strategies in the operations of the company and the expected results of these operations, were included herein.

SHARE OPTIONS

REMUNERATION REPORT

Directors’ and Specified Executives (being key management personnel) Remuneration

The company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of board members and executives is as follows:

Company officers and directors are remunerated to a level consistent with the size of the company. The company’s aim is to remunerate at a level that will attract and retain suitably qualified directors and employees.

The remuneration of non-executive directors is determined by the Board within the maximum amount approved by the shareholders of the company from time to time. This remuneration is by way of a fixed fee and supplemented by the issue of incentive options as approved by shareholders in a general meeting of the company.

The remuneration structure for executive officers is based on a number of factors including experience of the individual concerned and their overall performance. The contracts for service between the company and executives are on a continuing basis the terms of which are not expected to change in the immediate future.

No remuneration is linked to the current performance of the company. This may change in time.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

This financial report covers the financial statements and notes of Gateway Mining Limited as an individual entity.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

a. Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

11

GATEWAY MINING LIMITED ABN: 31 008 402 391

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

a. Income Tax (continued)

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

b. Goods and Services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

c. Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a reducing balance basis on all plant and equipment over their useful lives to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset: Depreciation rate: Plant and equipment 8 to 40%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserves relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

d. Financial instruments

Initial recognition and initial measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement.

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

Fair Value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value of all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the company no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired.

e. Exploration and Development Expenditure

Costs carried forward

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

Amortisation

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuity to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

e. Exploration and Development Expenditure (continued)

Restoration costs

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.

No provision for restoration work has been made at this stage.

f. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks or financial institutions.

g. Comparative Figures

Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Provision for annual leave is classified under Trade and Other Payables instead of Provisions as in prior years.

h. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Interest revenue is recognised when the company controls the right to receive interest payments. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

i. Employee benefits

Provision is made for the company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows, including on-costs, to be made for those benefits.

j. Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or financial leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating leases

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Finance leases

The company is not a party to any finance leases.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

k. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in determining earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial year.

l. Sundry payables and accruals

Recognition is based upon amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the company.

m. Contributed equity

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. Any transactions costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

n. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying value of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

o. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on historical trends and economic data, obtained both externally and from within the company.

Key estimates - Impairment

The company assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions specific to the company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Plant and equipment, deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure and financial assets have been reviewed by the company. No impairment losses were taken up for the financial year ended 30 June 2010.

Key judgments – Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The company capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. Such capitalised expenditure is carried at reporting date at $8,485,445.

p. Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

During the current year the Company adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.

The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions. The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these standards and interpretations has had on the financial statements of Gateway Mining Limited.

AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements

In September 2007 the Australian Accounting Standards Board revised AASB 101 and as a result, there have been changes to the presentation and disclosure of certain information within the financial statements. Below is an overview of the key changes and the impact on the Company’s financial statements.

— Terminology changes the revised version of AASB 101 contains a number of terminology changes, including the amendment of the names of the primary financial statements.

— Reporting changes in equity the revised AASB 101 requires all changes in equity arising from transactions with owners, in their capacity as owners, to be presented separately from non-owner changes in equity. Owner changes in equity are to be presented in the statement of changes in equity, with non-owner changes in equity presented in the statement of comprehensive income. The previous version of AASB 101 required that owner changes in equity and other comprehensive income be presented in the statement of changes in equity.

Statement of comprehensive income — the revised AASB 101 requires all income and expenses to be presented in either one statement, the statement of comprehensive income, or two statements, a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The previous version of AASB 101 required only the presentation of a single income statement.

The Company’s financial statements now contain a statement of comprehensive income.

— Other comprehensive income The revised version of AASB 101 introduces the concept of ‘other comprehensive income’ which comprises of income and expenses that are not recognised in profit or loss as required by other Australian Accounting Standards. Items of other comprehensive income are to be disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income. Entities are required to disclose the income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income. The previous version of AASB 101 did not contain an equivalent concept.

Available for sale financial assets comprise investments in the ordinary issued capital of various entities. There are no fixed returns or fixed maturity dates attached to these investments.

The fair value of the unlisted available for sale financial asset cannot be reliably measured as variability in the range of reasonable fair estimates is significant. As a result, the unlisted investment is measured at cost. No intention to dispose of any unlisted available-for-sale financial assets existed at balance date.

NOTE 18: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The company's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits at bank, receivables and payables, and available for sale financial assets.

The company does not have any derivative instruments at balance date.

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements are as follows:

Financial Risk Management Policies

The Board's overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the company in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the finance committee on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.

The company does not have fixed rate financial instruments at balance date. It only manages floating rate financial instruments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities and exploration expenditure. The company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate funds are maintained During the 2010 year, the company raised funds through private share placements by issuing ordinary shares.

	983,958 840,295	12,608 12,608	996,566 852,903

Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the company.

Net Fair Value

The net fair values of listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs expected to be incurred. For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market the net fair value has been based on cost. For all other assets and other liabilities the net fair value approximates their carrying value.

Sensitivity Analysis

The effect on the company’s results and equity at 30 June 2010 from exposure to interest rates risk at balance date would not be material.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMEBERS OF GATEWAY MINING LIMITED

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Gateway Mining Limited which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration for Gateway Mining Limited at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with IFRS.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 company'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 financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporation Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporation Act 2001, provided to the directors of Gateway Mining Limited on 24[th] September 2010, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the date of this auditor’s report.
