COMPANY SECRETARY

Mr. Anthony C. deGovrik – Solicitor. Mr. deGovrik 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 of the company for the financial year after providing for income tax amounted to $1,692,672. 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 further EM surveying and RC drilling have confirmed the prospectivity for additional gold mineralisation related to the Montague Granodiorite, and Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) base and precious metal mineralisation in the greenstones.

This work has largely been operated by Gateway, with Avenue Resources withdrawing from two Joint Ventures over a number of the tenements in April 2012.

Aircore and RC drilling carried out by both Avenue and Gateway in the 2011 financial year had confirmed the prospectivity of a number of prospects, including, amongst others The Cup, Gossans Galore and Gravel Pit (VMS mineralisation) and Rosie NE (gold mineralisation).

Work during the reporting period included infill and extensional EM surveying, RC drilling, ground mapping and rock chip sampling. In addition a lithogeochemical study was undertaken on assay data from a number of drill holes within the tenements. The purpose of this was to characterise alteration and rock types, including weathered material where visual recognition of features, especially alteration, can be difficult. This work recognised VMS style alteration and felsic and mafic volcanic lithologies in the key VMS prospects.

Reconnaissance mapping and sampling extended the Birthday Zone, a 5km long zone of gossans and base and pathfinder element anomalism on the eastern side of the Montague Granodiorite. At Bungarra reconnaissance work identified a number of copper and zinc geochemical trends.

Results of EM surveying completed during the year were incorporated with previous surveys, and an interpretation has resulted in a number of clear trends being identified. These include, amongst others, zones at Gossans Galore and Gravel Pit that require further testing.

RC drilling was carried out at a number of prospects. At The Cup drill-hole GRC209 intersected 25m @ 0.63% copper, 100m downdip from hole GRC199, which returned 41m @ 0.53% copper. The Cup still remains open in all directions. Drilling at Julia’s Fault and Hypotenuse intersected significant thicknesses of massive and massive sulphides with anomalous base and precious metal and pathfinder anomalism.

In summary, the work carried out confirmed the prospectivity of the tenements, and has defined a number of priority drill targets.

The Cowra tenements were relinquished subsequent to the end of the reporting period, following Minotaur Exploration’s earlier withdrawal from a joint venture.

The company disposed of its interests in the Hodgkinson Basin tenements EPM9934 and 10026 to Territory Minerals Pty Ltd.

No work was carried out over Surprise EPM9053 in Queensland.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

On 19 December 2011, the company raised $368,000 via a placement of 16 million shares at 2.3 cents per share with 1.8 free attaching option for each share issued at an exercise price of two cents per share expiring 15 November 2014.

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.

GATEWAY MINING LIMITED ABN: 31 008 402 391

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

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

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 28 September 2012 by the directors of the company.

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. The company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Accounting Standards (AASB) set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in 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 stated otherwise.

Except for the cash flow information, 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 noncurrent assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

a. Income Tax

The income tax expense (income) 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 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 outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are 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.

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) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 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

The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a reducing balance basis over the asset’s useful life 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 2012

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

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 any remeasurements other than impairment losses recognised in other comprehensive income. 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.

Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are expected to be sold after 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

Impairment

At the end of 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 assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market 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 expire 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 discharged, cancelled or have expired.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

e. Exploration and Development Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred are capitalised 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.

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 local laws and regulations and clauses of the 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

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Provision for employee benefits is classified under Provisions instead of Trade and Other Payables as per last year.

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).

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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.

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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 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 plant and equipment and financial assets for the financial year ended 30 June 2012. A write off of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure of $1,147,072 was taken up for the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

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 the end of the reporting period at $8,210,108.

p. New accounting standards for application in future periods

The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The company has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements and do not expect the adoption of these standards to have any significant impact on the reported position or performance of the company.

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 directors 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 the end of the reporting period. 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 2012 year, the company raised funds through private share placements by issuing ordinary shares.

Credit Risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period, excluding the value of any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position.

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 the end of the reporting period, 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 2012 from exposure to interest rates risk at the end of the reporting period 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 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (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. 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 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 was provided to the directors of Gateway Mining Limited on the same date of this auditor’s report.

Liability is limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
