INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Your directors submit the financial report of the Group for the half-year ended 31 December 2015.
DIRECTORS
The names of directors who held office during or since the end of the half-year:
-
Mr. Trent Franklin (Non-Executive Chairman)
-
Mr. Andrew Bray (Managing Director)
-
Mr. Ian McDonald (Non-executive Director)
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The activities of the Group during the half year were in the mineral exploration industry principally exploration for gold and base metals as well as investment. There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group that occurred during the half year.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
The Group has continued to develop its exploration package in Gidgee, WA, in spite of difficult market conditions.
Substantial work was continued on a number of the Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) targets and the Group remains very encouraged by the results and confident in the prospects. Should conditions improve and funds become available, the Group will look to restart efforts on the VMS targets.
Significant work was also undertaken during the period by the Group to work towards being able to announce its first JORC compliant gold resource. This is targeted to be announced by the end of March. This is a particularly exciting development as it will form an excellent basis upon which the Group can grow its resource base in the coming periods.
The Group has made a decision to focus on developing the gold prospects within the Gidgee project. There is a very substantial Reduced Intrusive Related gold system which is vastly underexplored. Significant evaluative work was undertaken during the period to determine possible extensions to known mineralisation and create targets for upcoming drill programs. The Group is of the opinion that adding exploration success to its soon-to-be announced gold resource presents a platform for strong shareholder value creation.
As always, the Group has maintained significant focus on keeping administrative costs low given the lack of investor appetite for exploration companies. The Board feels this is an important part of maintaining confidence in the Group’s ability to deliver strong exploration outcomes and carry the project through the current difficult market conditions.
The Group is also evaluating a number of acquisition opportunities which could complement the Gidgee project and add substantial shareholder value. Should any of these opportunities materialise the Board will promptly inform the market.

GATEWAY MINING LIMITED and its controlled entity ABN: 31 008 402 391
The Group is looking forward to an exciting future as we progress the exploration and development of the Gidgee project.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half year.

The auditor’s independence declaration under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 6 for the half-year ended 31 December 2015.

GATEWAY MINING LIMITED and its controlled entity ABN: 31 008 402 391
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose interim financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the requirements of Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
The interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Gateway Mining Limited and its controlled entities. It is therefore recommended that this financial report to be read in conjunction with annual financial statements of the group for the year ended 30 June 2015, together with any public announcements made during the following halfyear.
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 non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
b. Accounting Polices
The financial statements are general purpose interim financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the requirements of Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
c. Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Judgments Used in Applying Accounting Policies
The critical estimates and judgments are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the June 2015 annual report.
d. New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
e. Going Concern
The directors believe that the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, notwithstanding continued operating losses, negative operating cash flows, and no ongoing revenue streams, as the Directors believe that the Group has sufficient cash and liquid assets or can access cash to continue operations. The cash is managed through:
-
a) Tight control of Administrative Expenses
-
b) Raise additional share capital, for which the company has a history of raising funds.
-
c) By reducing the exploration program to maintain cash flow.
The Directors have prepared a forecast for the foreseeable future reflecting the above mentioned expectations and their effect on the Group. The forecast is conservative, and reflects current market prices, reduction in interest income, costs similar to this year for expenditure and exploration.
In the unlikely event that the above results in a negative outcome, then the going concern basis may not be appropriate with the result that the Group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and in amounts different from those stated in the Financial Report. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the Financial Report.
f. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Gateway Mining Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 31 December 2015 and the results of its subsidiary for the period then ended. Gateway Mining Limited and its subsidiary together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
g. Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Exploration expenditure commitments. In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to comply with the minimum expenditure obligations under the Mining Act. These obligations have been met. The future obligations which are subject to renegotiation when an application for a mining lease is made and at other times are not provided for in the financial statements.
4(b): CURRENT ASSET, FARM-IN AGREEMENT
On 2 August 2013, the Group signed a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Panoramic Gold Pty Ltd to explore on the adjoining tenement to the Group’s Gidgee tenement. As at 31 December 2015 all the costs are to Gateway’s account as the threshold of $1,200,000 for using the equity method in accordance with AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures has not been reached. When $1,200,000 is spent Gateway will acquire a 70% interest in the tenement. Gateway will sole fund all exploration costs until successful completion of a feasibility study such that Panoramic’s 30% interest shall be free carried.

The recoverability for the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent upon further exploration and exploitation of commercially viable mineral deposits. The recoverability of the Panoramic Farm-in agreement is also dependent on the agreement being extended or the $1.2million expenditure reached. If neither occurs then the Panoramic Farm-in asset of $740,217 will be fully impaired.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Gateway Mining Limited
Report on the Half-year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Gateway Mining Limited and its controlled entities (the consolidated entity) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of an Interim Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Gateway Mining Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Crowe Horwath is a member of Crowe Horwath International, a Swiss verein. Each member of Crowe Horwath is a separate and independent legal entity. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation other than for the acts of omissions of financial services licensees.

==> picture [179 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Gateway Mining Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the Half Year financial report which indicates that the entity incurred a net loss of $245,491 and net current liabilities of $24,691 during the period ended 31 December 2015 and has limited income streams for future years. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
