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 $396,689 (2010 loss - $494,780). 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.
A review of exploration data highlighted the prospectivity of a number of areas for VMS style mineralization, with this including the previously drilled “The Cup” prospect, at which significant copper had been intersected in previous RC drilling. As well broadly spaced EM surveying and some limited RAB drilling at the “Gossans Galore” area highlighted the potential of this area for VMS mineralization.
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. The details of the farm-ins were released to the market on June 29, 2010.
Work carried out by Avenue Resources on the JV tenements included EM surveying and drilling on both gold and copper targets within JV tenements. This work has reinforced the prospectivity of the “Gossans Galore” area to host VMS style base metal mineralization, with infill EM surveying defining three strong anomalies, and aircore drilling defining geochemical and geological anomalies with characteristics similar to those of VMS systems. Further work, including drilling is planned for these zones, with these considered as priority targets.
Drilling at the Rosie Northeast gold prospect intersected 120m @0.41 g/t Au, similar in tenor to adjacent historical drillhole. This prospect is still open to the north, south and at depth, with further work planned.
Work by Gateway on adjacent tenements not included within the joint venture has also reinforced the potential for this style of mineralization, with a number prospects outlined. These include the “Gravel Pit” prospects to the east of “Gossans Galore”.
During the year Gateway acquired the “Bungarra” tenements from Legend Mining, with these being originally tested for Cu-Ni-PGE style mineralization by Legend. Preliminary reconnaissance work by Gateway has resulted in a number of interesting geochemical and geological features being outlined, with further work planned.
Work on the Cowra Project in NSW by JV partners Minotaur Exploration and Mitsubishi Corporation/ Mitsubishi Materials Corporation included ground checking a number of geophysical features however this did not result in any significant or geochemical anomalism. The JV partners advised Gateway of their wish to withdraw from the project on June 10, 2011, and the joint venture was subsequently terminated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
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 statements are general-purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial statements 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 as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are 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. Current tax liabilities (assets) are 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 as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability 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 and 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.

GATEWAY MINING LIMITED ABN: 31 008 402 391
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
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 (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.
c. Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(n) for details of impairment).
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 asset’s 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 the end of each reporting period.
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 2011
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 fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost.
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.
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 of financial assets due to their nature. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (i.e. gains or losses) recognised in other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses). When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.
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 profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.
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
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred are capitialised in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only capitalised to the extent that they are expected to be recovered 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.
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 continuing to capitalise costs in relation to that area of interest.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
e. Exploration and Development Expenditure (continued)
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the project 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.
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 the end of the reporting period. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
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 the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset's carrying amount. Any excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
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 2011.
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 $8,880,254.

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.

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 2011 year, the company raised funds through private share placements by issuing ordinary shares.

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 2011 from exposure to interest rates risk at balance date would not be material.

Chartered Accountants
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 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information 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 and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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. Those 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 26[th] September 2011, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the date of this auditor’s report.
