Chairman’s letter
On behalf of the Board of Globe, it is my pleasure to present to you the 2013 Annual Report.
Historically the resources sector has been subject to growth and retraction cycles. During this retraction cycle the global resources market is in a challenging position and the industry faces a challenge with commodity prices. With global credit cautious and global growth slow, share prices of all resource companies have been in decline and junior mining companies have suffered the most from this reappraisal. Globe’s share price has been disappointing, but we still have a promising outlook.
Access to equity and debt financing is difficult for most industry participants. Cost reduction is the key industry focus and Globe has decreased its total administration overheads by 74% from last year demonstrating our commitment to cost efficiency.
Despite this challenging external environment, during the year, a number of achievements have been made by Globe with the support from our investors and diligent work of our team.
In this difficult environment Globe is in the process of securing funding of A$11.5m before costs of a convertible note and an underwritten rights issue. This is a great achievement as it provides all shareholders with the first right to contribute to the Company’s growth, provides momentum and security in progressing Kanyika and allows the Company to assess other growth opportunities. I urge all shareholders to participate and vote for approval of this funding at the Annual General Meeting.
Solid progress has been made with the Kanyika Niobium Project Engineering Study. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been approved and the Development Agreement is under review by both Globe and the Government of Malawi. It is my view that the agreement requires significant review and negotiation to achieve the best possible outcome for both parties.
Globe is working with a number of Chinese organisations to optimise the Kanyika Niobium Project flow sheet and evaluate alternative treatment pathways for niobium and tantalum recovery. Initial results focussing on flotation have made significant impacts to the project. A demonstration plant is underway to optimise engineering design of flotation and test the viability of a smelter to replace a refinery process.
The Company’s exploration programme has continued to progress, with more exploration work at the Kanyika Niobium, Mount Muambe REE and Chiziro Graphite Projects.
As part of Globes contractual obligations in the “Mount Muambe Acquisition Agreement” with Bala Ussokoti Lda, Globe has initiated a study into the viability of the project. The study was completed at the time of this report and demonstrated that current resources are not commercially viable to extract. As such the Company has decided to write-down the project.
Major Shareholder East China Non-Ferrous Metals Investment Holding Co. Ltd (“ECE”) supported Globe and signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to undertake and fund exploration activities relating to Exclusive Prospecting Licences (“EPL”) owned and operated by Globe in Malawi and Mozambique. The funding and technical support from ECE provides a non-dilutive mechanism to increase value across the project portfolio and removes a large portion of the exploration risk while improving success rates.
To improve and strengthen the Company’s senior management and internal control, Globe appointed Mr Alistair Stephens as Managing Director in July 2013. Since Mr Stephens joined Globe as CEO in May 2013, he has provided
4
==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
a steadying influence and achieved the stabilisation of the Company through his strong leadership. I believe the appointment of a Managing Director with a strong track record of successful rare metals project development and financing is an important and timely step for the Company to further develop the Kanyika Niobium Project and evolve from an explorer to a producer. I am confident that Mr Stephens’ extensive experience will support Globe’s operational and corporate growth objectives aimed at enhancing shareholder value.
Mr Stephens has indicated that he is focused on optimising the flow sheet and design of the Kanyika project and looking at strategy opportunities to acquire other projects that will enhance the Company’s ability to grow.
While making significant progress in acquiring and exploring high potential projects, Globe will focus on an open and practical strategy that will bring more competitive advantages to the company and benefits for our shareholders.
I recognise that the Company’s share price has suffered along with a broader mining investment market downturn in recent months. However, Globe’s open strategy and continuous improvement is a focus of management. Significant progress has been made on strengthening the internal control, integrating assets and reducing operational cost.
I thank our shareholders, partners, staff and all stakeholders for their on-going support and I look forward to another year of significant milestones being achieved for the Company.
Yours sincerely,
Yi Shao Non-Executive Chairman - Globe Metals and Mining Limited

Changes in Directors/Management
Mr Alistair Stephens joined Globe as the new Chief Executive Officer on 20 May 2013 and was appointed Managing Director on 8 July. Mr Stephens will be responsible for managing, developing and delivering the Company’s strategy which is currently focused on completing risk management assessment of the Engineering Studies for the Kanyika Niobium Project (“KNP”), strategic growth opportunities, and supporting the Company’s transition from advanced explorer to project developer.
Overheads
The current budget for the 2013/2014 financial year includes a 43% reduction in overheads from Australia, China and Africa in comparison to 2012/13.
The global resources market is in a difficult position and the ability to raise funds and sustain businesses in the resource industry is becoming increasingly challenging. The Company is very confident that any further funds needed for Company development will eventuate.
To improve and sustain efficiency, Senior Executives of the Company have accepted reductions to remuneration, the Company has conducted redundancies, the reliance on external consultants and contractors has been reduced, and consultancy services transferred to China where they are more cost efficient and technically superior. Exploration activity will be reduced and a focus on the optimisation of Kanyika will be prioritised.
The Company will be looking for further efficiencies across the entire Company to remain competitive for growth and development. The Company is constantly reviewing options for a step change to become more efficient and competitive.
Share Buyback
The share buy-back program was completed on 24 May 2013. During the buy-back program the Company bought 5,810,674 shares on-market for a total cost of $677,451. The share buy-back program commenced on 14 June 2012 following approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board to buy back up to 10,080,674 shares, or approximately 5% of issued capital.
The highest price paid was 15 cents on 14 June 2012 and the lowest price paid was 6.4 cents on 20 May 2013.
After the buyback the Company has 220,339,131 Fully Paid Ordinary Shares.
Proposed Funding
As a post reporting period significant transaction, the Company has secured an underwritten funding facility for A$11.5m before costs. This two stage process consists of an issue of Convertible Notes to raise A$1.6m and a A$9.9m Rights Issue to eligible shareholders. The underwriting will go to shareholder vote at the Annual General Meeting and the Company encourages all shareholders to approve the resolution.

MOU with Major Shareholder to fund exploration activity
In May 2013, Globe signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with our major shareholder, East China Non-Ferrous Metals Investment Holding Co. Ltd (“ECE”), to undertake and fund exploration activities relating to Exclusive Prospecting Licences (“EPL”) owned and operated by Globe in Malawi and Mozambique.
ECE will substantially fund all exploration activity at the Kanyika Niobium Project (“KNP”), Chiziro, Machinga and Salambidwe Projects. Should ECE define additional JORC Resources in any of these projects that then leads to a pre-feasibility study, Globe will reimburse ECE for exploration expenditure. Reimbursement may be deferred until the project generates income.
Exploration at the Kanyika Niobium Project will focus on regional mineralised targets outside of resources currently subject to engineering studies.

Kanyika Niobium Project
The Engineering study for a refined high-specification niobium pentoxide (> 98.5% Nb 2O 5) and tantalum pentoxide (>98.3% Ta2O5) product has been completed. The study includes indicative capital costs for mining, concentration, a refinery, two associated chemical plants and ancillary services.
The Company has concluded that an optimisation program is required and is assessing the options and methods to improve concentrate grade from 26% to >40% (and the impact this has to recovery) and the impact on capital costs and revenue for a smelting process to produce a marketable ferro-niobium metal alloy. The current programs are designed to reduce capital and operating costs, improve concentrate quality, and simplify the process while reducing operational risk. The Board has approved a demonstration plant to further optimise process design and reduce project risk.
Engineering
Capital costs for concentration and smelting processes are subject to the completion of the optimisation study and the demonstration plant. Current progress is encouraging.
Optimisation Testwork
Globe is working with a number of Chinese organisations to optimise the Kanyika flowsheet and evaluate alternative treatment pathways for niobium and tantalum recovery. Initial results focussing on flotation have been encouraging with increases in concentrate grade with little impact to recovery.
Initial smelting testwork indicates that the production of a marketable ferroalloy is achievable. To optimise the smelting process a larger metallurgical sample is required, which requires larger quantities of concentrate that can only be practicably made in a demonstration plant.
Demonstration Plant
Progress is being made to acquire a bulk sample for a demonstration process plant in China, which is key to validate the optimised process route. As depicted in Table 1 below, optimised project design is expected to be achieved in Q1 2014.

Development Agreement Negotiations
Progress with the Development Agreement and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is continuing. In June 2013, using a UK-based law firm, the Government of Malawi (GoM) provided Globe with a draft agreement. It is Globes view that the agreement requires significant review and negotiation. The current requirement within the Development Agreement for many subsidiary agreements will require significant assessment. The next round of Development Agreement negotiations has not yet been determined but should be scheduled in the coming quarter.

==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) update
The Kanyika Niobium Project EIA passed the main technical review hurdle and has been approved by the National Council on Environment (NCE). This follows a rigorous assessment process undertaken by the environmental regulator that covered all environmental and social impacts and is an important factor in the development path of the project.
Exploration
East China Non-Ferrous Metals Investment Holding Co. Ltd.’s (“ECE”) exploration team commenced work on the Kanyika Niobium Project at the end of May 2013. A group of geologists are based at Kanyika for 3-4 months and are undertaking a variety of work focusing on regional targets, including geological mapping and reconnaissance, surface sampling and geophysical surveying.
-
Geological mapping and geophysical surveying has been undertaken, targeting the areas to the south and north of the Kanyika Niobium Project. Further surveying is planned to the north and east (Figure 3)

Mount Muambe Fluorite-REE Project
The main work carried out at the Mount Muambe Project in Mozambique was large scale geological mapping and ground reconnaissance including ground-based radiometric surveying.
A soil and rock chip sampling programme was completed targeting newly processed radiometric data from the EE and BB Zones. Over 200 rock chip and soils were taken with results up to 5.8% TREO and 44% CaF2 (Figure 4). These represent some of the highest REE surface samples collected to date and the highest CaF 2 values outside of the Main Zone.
==> picture [357 x 332] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: EE and BB Zones soil and rock chip location plan, Mount Muambe
Soil samples have been completed across the expanded BB Zone prospect; the results reveal a number of significant Rare Earths targets. Of particular note are the significant strike lengths of up to 400m of Rare Earths enriched soil samples, suggesting potential for bedrock mineralisation.
As part of Globes contractual obligations in the “Mount Muambe Acquisition Agreement” with Bala Ussokoti Lda, Globe initiated a study into the commercial feasibility of the resource of the Mount Muambe project. The study was completed in October 2013 and concluded that higher grade fluorite would be required for an economically viable project. The same is also considered for the rare earth (REE) potential at Mount Muambe. Consequently, there is a risk that the carrying amount exceeds the likely recoverable value from the projects development or sale and the Company has written off the carrying value of $5.1M.

Salambidwe Rare Earth Project
Geological mapping and radiometric surveys were completed during November 2012. Analysis from the 108 rock chips returned a number of encouraging REE +NB +Ta results (refer to table 2).

Chiziro Graphite Project
In September 2012, Globe acquired 100% of the Chiziro Graphite Project, enhancing Globe’s position in Malawi. The 2,020sqkm licence contains two projects, Chimutu and Katengeza and 12 individual graphite projects, all at surface.
As reported in the June Quarterly Report, 53 graphite bearing rock samples had been sampled. An additional 40 graphite bearing rock samples have been collected, along with 10 stream sediment samples, in April (Figure 6).
Rock chip samples in the southern Exploration Target Zone returned assay results up to 45% graphite, and samples in the northern Exploration Target Zone returned assay results up to 23% graphite (Figure 6 & Table 3).
Globe plans to complete graphite flake size analyses while assay results for other samples are pending.
Based on the rock chip results Globe is planning to undertake further exploration during the 2013 field season.

Machinga REE Project
No exploration was completed at Machinga during the financial year.
Globe has applied to the Malawi Ministry of Natural Resources to renew part of the Machinga licence and reduce its size by 55%, to 361.1km2 (Figure 7). As at the date of this report, Globe was still waiting for official confirmation from the Ministry that the licence area reduction was accepted.

Memba Titanium-Iron Project
In January 2013 Globe announced that it was withdrawing from its participation in the Memba Titanium-Iron joint venture in Mozambique.
Globe entered the Memba JV in November 2011 and completed its year one commitment. The agreement entitled Globe to a 90% interest in the project on completion of a feasibility study within five years of the transaction.
The Company decided to withdraw after an assessment of expenditure and the decision to focus on the Kanyika Niobium Project.
Globe has two licences in the Memba area still that are 100% owned by Globe. No exploration has been undertaken at these prospects.

Corporate Social Responsibility
The Etandweni Health Post was previously a basic facility providing childhood immunisations, nutrition and general health advice, and family planning services. It was manned by a Health Surveillance Assistant (HSA) who was trained to treat children aged 0-5 years. Health officers travelled from either Emfeni or Mzimba on specific days to perform duties such as weighing babies, checking pregnant women and treating simple cases. Adults had to travel to either to Emfeni or Simulemba to receive treatment.
Following a community consultation process, Globe committed to refurbishing the current building and upgrading the facilities. The project commenced in late 2011 and was completed in December 2012. It aimed to provide effective, daily healthcare in close proximity to the local communities and was achieved through:
-
Refurbishing the existing building
-
Providing a house for the HSA
-
Providing solar power electricity to power lights and a vaccine fridge
-
Improving access to water by providing a water bore and hand pump
-
Providing essential medical equipment for the centre
The improved Etandweni Health Post has benefited the local surrounding communities with better access to medical services. The medical centre has encouraged people to undertake more regular check-ups and reduce demand on the other two centres. There has been an increase in the number of people attending the Etandweni medical centre and this in turn has increased the number of lifesaving vaccinations administered and increased awareness of personal healthcare.
Globe worked in partnership with the Global Health Alliance of Western Australia (GHAWA) to assess the need and develop the scope for this project. GHAWA engaged and consulted with the local community, Emfeni Health Centre and the Malawian College of Nursing to determine the improvements requirements for the Etandweni Health Post.
The Direct Aid Programme of AusAid, managed by the Australian High Commission, funded AUD$28,000 to Globe for the project. This financed the instalment of solar panels to provide electricity to the health post and the purchase and instalment of a vaccine fridge.
The positive support and involvement received from the Village Development Committee will ensure the sustainability of this project. In June 2013, Globe officially handed the facility over to the Department of Health.

Mount Muambe - As part of Globes contractual obligations in the “Mount Muambe Acquisition Agreement” with Bala Ussokoti Lda, Globe has initiated a study into the commercial feasibility of the resource of the Mount Muambe project. Preliminary indications are that more higher grade fluorite would have to be found to ensure an economically viable project. The same is also considered for the rare earth (REE) potential at Mount Muambe. There is also an ongoing dispute with the JV partner over the legal right to the tenement. Consequently, there is a risk that the carrying amount exceeds the likely recoverable value from the projects development or sale and therefore the Company has determined that the asset is impaired and has written off the carrying value of $5.1M

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
A. Remuneration governance
The Board has established a Remuneration Committee. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on;
-
the over arching executive remuneration framework
-
operation of the incentive plans which apply to the executive team, including key performance indicators and performance hurdles
-
remuneration levels of executive directors and other key management personnel, and
-
non-executive director fees.
Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long term interests of the company.
The Remuneration Committee did not seek advice from independent remuneration consultants during the year.
The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this committee.
B. Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy of Globe Metals & Mining Limited has been designed to align executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates and offering specific incentives based on share price and key performance areas affecting the economic entity’s financial results. The board of Globe Metals & Mining Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to run and manage the economic entity.
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the economic entity’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
Executives are also entitled to participate in employee share and option arrangements.
The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.25% up to a maximum of $17,775 per annum, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.
26
==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONT)
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are independently valued by corporate advisers using the Black-Scholes method.
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $600,000). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company.
C. Performance based remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. Details of short and long term incentives for directors and executives are outlined below.
(a) Short term incentives
Managing Director and CEO
On meeting all agreed Company KPIs and KPI’s of the CEO, the Company, at its sole discretion, may issue a bonus scheme of up to 40% of base salary. This may be paid as 50% in cash and 50% paid in GBE shares. The Company may elect to settle the cash component through the issue of shares. No bonuses were paid to the Managing Director and CEO under this scheme for the current year.
Other Senior Executives
Other senior executives participate in a performance targets and bonus system that can grant the employee a discretionary bonus up to 30% of their base salary before tax and superannuation based on the successful completion of tasks that are weighted 40% to company objectives, 40% to their functional group objectives and 20% to personal objectives. The payment of all bonuses is at the discretion of the Board regardless of targets being achieved. No bonuses were paid to the other senior executives under this scheme for the current year.
During the year shares 300,000 shares each were issued to Andries Kruger and Michael Schultz relating to the 2012 short term incentive.
(b) Long term incentives
Currently, long term incentives are offered to some of the directors and executives in the form of share options to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. There are no set terms to the long-term incentives. The Company believes the policy links remuneration of directors and executives with its share price and will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth. Details of directors and executives interests in options at year end are included below.
27
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONT)
Managing Director and CEO
Options were issued to the Managing Director and CEO after 30 June 2013 as a long term incentive. The Company may elect to issue further options as incentives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The following options were issued on 1 July 2013;
-
One million A$0.10 options vesting 1 July 2014 and expiring 30 June 2017 conditional on volume weighted average share price of above A$0.20 over any 15 consecutive trading days on ASX before the vesting date.
-
One million A$0.15 options vesting 1 July 2015 and expiring 30 June 2018 conditional on volume weighted average share price of above A$0.30 over any 15 consecutive trading days on ASX before the vesting date.
-
One million A$0.20 options vesting 1 July 2016 and expiring 30 June 2019 conditional on volume weighted average share price of above A$0.40 over any 15 consecutive trading days on ASX before the vesting date.
-
One million A$0.25 options vesting 1 July 2017 and expiring 30 June 2020 conditional on volume weighted average share price of above A$0.50 over any 15 consecutive trading days on ASX before the vesting date.
All options also have the conditions that the share price must be higher than the exercise price at the vesting date and all shares issued on vesting of any of these options are subject to an ASX Holding Lock which prevents any disposal of the Shares occurring until such time as Board approval has been obtained and the Holding Lock is lifted. The vesting date is the date of vesting or the first business day after that date that options can be exercised on.
Other Senior Executives
Long term incentives granted to senior executives will be delivered in the form of options in accordance with the policy to issue options as an incentive to senior executives. The Board considers the issue of options to senior executives on an individual basis, there is no set percentage of salary. At the commencement of each financial year, the Group and each senior executive will agree upon a set of financial and non-financial objectives related to the senior executive’s job responsibilities. The objectives will vary but all will be targeted directly to the Group’s business and financial performance and thus to shareholder value. At the date of this report options have been granted to the CEO and Deputy CEO as an incentive. The options were not based on a percentage of salary; the Board issued the options as an incentive based on market conditions. No other options were granted to senior executives.

Corporate Governance
The Company is committed to implementing the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has turned to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. The Company is pleased to advise that the Company’s practices are largely consistent with those ASX guidelines. As consistency with the guidelines has been a gradual process, where the Company did not have certain policies or committees recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (the Council) in place during the reporting period, we have identified such policies or committees.
Where the Company’s corporate governance practices do not correlate with the practices recommended by the Council, the Company is working towards compliance however it does not consider that all the practices are appropriate for the Company due to the size and scale of Company operations.
Details of all of the recommendations can be found on the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s website.

Council Principle 1:
Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
Role of the Board
The Board's primary role is the protection and enhancement of medium to long term shareholder value. To fulfil this role, the Board is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of the consolidated entity including its strategic direction, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.
Responsibility of the Board
The Board is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company by:
-
supervising the Company’s framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed
-
ensuring the Company is properly managed
-
approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures;
-
approval of the annual budget;
-
monitoring the financial performance of the Company;
-
approving and monitoring financial and other reporting;
-
overall corporate governance of the Company, including conducting regular reviews of the balance of responsibilities within the Company to ensure division of functions remain appropriate to the needs of the Company;
-
liaising with the Company’s external auditors as appropriate; and
-
monitoring, and ensuring compliance with, all of the Company's legal obligations, in particular those obligations relating to the environment, native title, cultural heritage and occupational health and safety.
The Board must convene regular meetings with such frequency as is sufficient to appropriately discharge its responsibilities. Between regular meetings it will also ensure that important matters are addressed by way of circular resolutions. The Board may, from time to time, delegate some of the responsibilities listed above to its senior management team.
Materiality threshold
The Board has agreed on both quantitative and qualitative guidelines for assessing the materiality of matters. Qualitative indications of materiality would include if:
-
they impact on the reputation of the Company;
-
they involve a breach of legislation;
-
they are outside the ordinary course of business;
41
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
-
they could affect the Company’s rights to its assets; or
-
if accumulated they would trigger the quantitative tests.
The Chairman
The chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board, for the efficient organisation and conduct of the Board's function and for the briefing of all directors in relation to issues arising at Board meetings. The chairman is also responsible for chairing shareholder meetings and arranging Board performance evaluation.
The Managing Director
The Managing Director is responsible for running the affairs of the Company under delegated authority from the Board and to implement the policies and strategy set by the Board. In carrying out his/her responsibilities the managing director must report to the Board in a timely manner and ensure all reports to the Board present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial condition and operational results. The managing director is also responsible for overall shareholder communication in conjunction with the chairman.
Role and responsibility of management
The role of management is to support the managing director and implement the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board.
Management is responsible for reporting all matters which fall within the Materiality Threshold at first instance to the managing director or if the matter concerns the managing director then directly to the chairman or the lead independent director, as appropriate.
Relationship of Board with management
Management of the day-to-day business of the Company is to be conducted by or under the supervision of the Board, and by those other officers and employees to whom the management function is properly delegated by the Board.
The Board will adopt appropriate structures and procedures to ensure that the Board functions independently of management. Appropriate procedures may involve the Board meeting on a regular basis without management present, or may involve expressly assigning the responsibility for administering the Board's relationship to management to a Committee of the Board.
Information is formally presented to the Board at Board meetings by way of Board reports and review of performance to date. When directors are providing information about opportunities for the Company, this should always be through the Board.
Council Principle 2:
Structure the board to add value
The Company presently has two executive directors, one non-executive Chairman (Mr Yi Shao), and three non-executive directors.
The Board has five members, including the Managing Director. The Board has one independent director and four nominee directors of the majority shareholder which includes the Chairman.
42
==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
The Board is conscious of the need for independence. The Board believes that the Chairman is able and does bring quality and independent judgment to all relevant issues falling within the scope of the role of a Chairman. The Board considers that its structure has been and continues to be appropriate in the context of the company’s current projects and operations. The Company considers that each director possesses skills and experience suitable for building the Company. Furthermore, the Board considers that in the current phase of the Company's growth, the Company's shareholders are better served by directors who have a vested interest in the Company. The Board intends to reconsider its composition as the Company's operations evolve, and appoint independent directors as appropriate.
Council Principle 3:
Promote ethical and responsible decision-making.
The Company is committed to an inclusive workplace that embraces and promotes diversity, while respecting International, Sovereign and Australian laws.
The Company recognises the value of a diverse work force and believes that diversity supports all employees reaching their full potential, improves business decisions, business results, increases stakeholder satisfaction and promotes realisation of the company vision.
Diversity may result from a range of factors including but not limited to gender, age, ethnicity and cultural backgrounds.
We believe these differences between people add to the collective skills and experience of the Organisation and ensures we benefit by selecting from all available talent.
Company and Individual Expectations
-
Ensure diversity is incorporated into the behaviours and practises of the Company;
-
Facilitate equal employment opportunities based on job requirements only using recruitment and selection processes which ensures we select from a diverse pool;
-
Engage professional search and recruitment firms when needed to enhance our selection pool;
-
Help to build a safe work environment by acting with care and respect at all times, ensuring there is no discrimination, harassment, bullying, victimisation, vilification or exploitation of individuals or groups;
-
Develop flexible work practices to meet the differing needs of our employees and potential employees;
-
Attract and retain a skilled and diverse workforce as an employer of choice;

Make a contribution to the economic, social and educational well-being of all of the communities it serves;
-
Meet the relevant requirements of domestic and international legislation appropriate to Elemental’s operations;
-
Create an inclusive workplace culture; and
-
Establish measurable diversity objectives and monitor and report on the achievement of those objectives annually.
It is the responsibility of all directors, officers, employees and contractors to comply with the Company's Diversity Policy and report violations or suspected violations in accordance with this Diversity Policy.
43
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
Gender Diversity
The Board is responsible for establishing and monitoring on an annual basis the achievement against gender diversity objectives and strategies, including the representation of women at all levels of the organisation.
The proportion of women within the whole organisation as at the date of this report is as follows:
Women employees in the whole organisation 38% Women in Senior Executive positions 20% Women on the Board of Directors 17%
- The Board acknowledges that there is only one woman on the Board of Directors. However, as noted above, the Board has determined that the composition of the current Board represents the best mix of Directors that have an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise, can understand and competently deal with current and emerging business issues and can effectively review and challenge the performance of management.
Council Principle 4:
Safeguard integrity in financial reporting.
The Company’s Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer report in writing to the Board that the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities for each half and full year present a true and fair view, in all material aspects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with accounting standards.
The Company has established an audit committee. The Committee fulfils the role of an audit committee by:
-
Monitoring the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, and reviewing significant financial reporting judgments.
-
Reviewing the Company’s internal financial control system and risk management systems.
-
Reviewing the appointment of the external auditor and approving the remuneration and terms of engagement.
-
Monitoring and reviewing the external auditor’s independence, objectivity and effectiveness, taking into consideration relevant professional and regulatory requirements.
The Board has one independent director, one managing director and four nominee directors of the majority shareholder, which includes three non-executive directors and one executive director. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is a nominee of the majority shareholder.
The Board is conscious of the need for independence. The Board believes that the Chairman of the Audit Committee is able and does bring quality and independent judgment to all relevant issues falling within the scope of the role of a Chairman. The Board considers that its structure has been and continues to be appropriate in the context of the company’s current projects and operations. The Board intends to reconsider the composition of the Audit Committee as the Company's operations evolve, and appoint an independent Chairman as appropriate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2013 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 24 September 2013.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Globe Metals & Mining Limited (‘Globe’ or ‘the Company’) and its controlled entities (‘Consolidated Entity’ or ‘Group’).
a. 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 (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 , as appropriate for profit-oriented entities.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
The financial report of Globe Metals & Mining Limited and controlled entities comply with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘AIFRS’). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
- (ii) New and amended standards adopted by the group
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2013 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. However, amendments made to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements effective 1 July 2013 now require the statement of comprehensive income to show the items of comprehensive income grouped into those that are not permitted to be reclassified to profit or loss in a future period and those that may have to be reclassified if certain conditions are met.
(iii) Early adoption of standards
-
The group has elected to apply the following pronouncement to the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2012:
-
AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009—2011 Cycle
This includes applying the revised pronouncement to the comparatives in accordance with AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. None of the items in the financial statements had to be restated as a result of applying this standard. However, the amendments removed the requirement to provide additional comparative information in all relevant notes where line items in the financial statements are affected as a result of a retrospective restatement (e.g. because of an error). Following the amendments, it is now sufficient if an entity includes a third balance sheet and explains the impact of the restatement on individual line items in the note that sets out the reasons for the restatement. The Company has done so in note 6 and is not disclosing additional comparatives in each of the notes that are affected by the restatement for the error.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
(iv) Historical Cost Convention
The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
(v) Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
b. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Globe Metals & Mining Limited ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2013 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Globe Metals & Mining Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the Consolidated Entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity are eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Consolidated Entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than onehalf of the voting rights.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Consolidated Entity controls another 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.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Consolidated Entity.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies 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 Group. All controlled entities have a June financial year end.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 17 to the financial statements.
c. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors.

d. Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates, currently being the Australian Dollar for each of the entities. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when the fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit and loss for the period, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
e. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues at an effective interest rate.
f. Income Tax
Current Tax
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period (s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The
55
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
i. Income Tax (cont)
measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and Deferred Taxation
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
Tax Consolidation
Globe Metals & Mining Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have not formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation.
g. Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities in the Group are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values.
Leased assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
h. Impairment
(i) Financial Assets
The group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair
56
==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
h. Impairment (cont)
value of the security below its cost is considered an indicator that the assets are impaired. For loans and receivables, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If there is objective evidence of impairment for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount at the reporting date.
An impairment exists when the carrying amount of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure relating to an area of interest exceeds its recoverable amount. The asset is then written down to its recoverable amount. Any impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment in respect of cash generating units, which are no larger than the area of interest to which the assets relate.
(iii) Non-financial Assets Other Than Exploration and Evaluation Assets The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
i. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purposes of the Statement Cash Flow, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
57
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
- j. Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
For exploration and evaluation asset acquisitions (farm-in arrangements) in which Globe has made arrangements to fund a portion of the selling partners' (farmor's) exploration and/or future development expenditures, these expenditures are reflected in the financial statements as and when the exploration and development work progresses.
Exploration and evaluation asset dispositions (farm-out arrangements) are accounted for on a historical cost basis with no gain or loss recognition. Exchanges (swaps) of exploration and evaluation assets are accounted for at the carrying amounts of the assets given up with no gain or loss recognition.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of interest are current and either:
-
The expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or
-
Activities in the area of interest have not, at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration and evaluation expenditure to mining property and development assets within property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the life of the mine.
k. Investments and Other Financial Assets
Classification
The group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-forsale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at the end of each reporting date.
- (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are
58
==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
k. Investments and Other Financial Assets (cont)
designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise they are classified as non-current.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables (note 10) in the balance sheet.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets quoted in an active market with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the group were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale.
Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period, which would be classified as current assets.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.
Financial assets – reclassification
The group may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held for trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held for trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. In addition, the group may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held for trading or available-for-sale categories if the group has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date.
59
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
k. Investments and Other Financial Assets (cont)
Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.
Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations when the group’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income from these financial assets is included in the net gains/(losses).
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 2.
l. Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the recoverable amount, the assets or cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amount.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
l. Property, Plant and Equipment (cont)
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the impairment expense line item.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis 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 vary from 20% to 40%.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income.
m. Investments
All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment.
After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as held for trading and available-forsale, are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the statement of comprehensive income.
For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to Securities Exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date.
n.
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for impairment is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debt.
o.
Trade and Other Payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Consolidated Entity.
Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
p. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outlay of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
q. Employee Benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
Retirement benefit obligations
All employees of the group are entitled to benefits from the group’s superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death or can direct the group to make contributions to a defined contribution plan of their choice.
62
==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
q. Employee Benefits (cont)
Contributions to superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
Equity Settled Compensation
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (“equity-settled transaction”).
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an independent valuation by corporate advisers using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“vesting date”).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Company , will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of modification.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.
r.
Contributed Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Where any group company purchases the company’s equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back or a share-based payment plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued.
63

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
r. Contributed Equity (cont)
Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners.
s. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-
the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares
-
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
-
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
-
the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
t. 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). 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 statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flow on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
u. Rounding of amounts
The company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the financial statements.
Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Globe Metals and Mining Limited, disclosed in note 28 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current reporting period. The Company’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
- (i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 , AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2015 but is available for early adoption. It only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss. The group has not yet determined the extent of the impact, if any.
- (ii) AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities , revised AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards and AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition guidance and other Amendments (effective 1 January 2013)
In August 2011, the AASB issued a suite of five new and amended standards which address the accounting for joint arrangements, consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.
AASB 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and Interpretation 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The core principle that a consolidated entity presents a parent and its subsidiaries as if they are a single economic entity remains unchanged, as do the mechanics of consolidation. However the standard introduces a single definition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns before control is present. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Returns must vary and can be positive, negative or both. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. While the group does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on its composition, it has yet to perform a detailed analysis of the new guidance in the context of its various investees that may or may not be controlled under the new rules.
65
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
w. New accounting standards and interpretations (cont)
AASB 11 introduces a principles based approach to accounting for joint arrangements. The focus is no longer on the legal structure of joint arrangements, but rather on how rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement. Based on the assessment of rights and obligations, a joint arrangement will be classified as either a joint operation or joint venture. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, and the choice to proportionately consolidate will no longer be permitted. Parties to a joint operation will account their share of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities in much the same way as under the previous standard.
AASB 11 also provides guidance for parties that participate in joint arrangements but do not share joint control. The group is yet to evaluate its joint arrangements in light of the new guidance.
AASB 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the two new standards, AASB 10 and AASB 11, and replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in AASB 128. Application of this standard by the group will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the group's investments.
AASB 127 is renamed Separate Financial Statements and is now a standard dealing solely with separate financial statements. Application of this standard by the group will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Amendments to AASB 128 provide clarification that an entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure its retained interest as part of ownership changes where a joint venture becomes an associate, and vice versa. The amendments also introduce a “partial disposal” concept. The group is still assessing the impact of these amendments.
The group will adopt the new standards from their operative date. They will therefore be applied in the financial statements for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014.
- (iii) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 January 2013)
AASB 13 was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The group does not use fair value measurements extensively. It is therefore unlikely that the new rules will have a significant impact on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, application of the new standard will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The group will adopt the new standard from its operative date, which means that it will be applied in the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014.
- (iv) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013)
In July 2011 the AASB decided to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements from AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures , to achieve consistency with the international equivalent standard and remove a duplication of the requirements with the
66

1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT)
w. New accounting standards and interpretations (cont)
Corporations Act 2001 . While this will reduce the disclosures that are currently required in the notes to the financial statements, it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The amendments apply from 1 July 2013 and cannot be adopted early. The Corporations Act requirements in relation to remuneration reports will remain unchanged for now, but these requirements are currently subject to review and may also be revised in the near future.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade and other debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the period under review, it has been the Group’s policy not to trade in financial instruments
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments and the Group’s policies for managing each of these risks are summarised below:
Interest Rate Risk
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. The Group does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal. An analysis by maturities is provided in (i) below.
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The credit risk on financial assets of the Group is reflected in those assets' carrying amount net of any provisions for impairment
The Group currently holds majority of their cash and cash equivalents with Westpac Banking Corporation with a credit rating of AA. The Group believes the credit risk exposure to the single counterparty is manageable.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the sale and purchase of goods and services in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency. The majority of expenses incurred are in AUD and therefore risk is not significant.
67
==> picture [102 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT)
Concentration risk
The parent entity is exposed to concentration risk due to 99% of its term deposits being held within the one financial institution. The Group manages this risk through monitoring of the credit rating of the institution.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate short term cash facilities are maintained. At the end of the period the group held deposits at call of $886,580 (2012: $389,409) and with maturities of three months or less of $13,269,213 (2012: $30,214,521), respectively, that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
(i) Interest rate risk exposures
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities is set out in the following table:
| 2013 Financial Assets Cash at bank Term deposit Trade & other receivables Other assets Weighted Average Interest Rate Financial Liabilities Trade & other creditors Weighted Average Interest Rate Net financial assets (liabilities) |

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates relating to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next accounting period are:
-
(i) Share based payment transactions The Consolidated Entity measures the cost of equity settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value of share options is determined based on an appropriate valuation model prepared by an external valuer. Refer to note 27 for details of the assumptions applied by the external valuer.
-
(ii) Exploration and evaluation expenditure The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure results in expenditure being capitalised for an area of interest where it is considered likely to be recoverable by future exploitation or sale or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. This policy requires management to make certain estimates as to future events and circumstances, in particular whether an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised the expenditure under the policy, a judgement is made that recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to profit and loss.
Refer to note 13 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to exploration and evaluation expenditure.
- (iii) Income taxes
Judgement is required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences, are recognised only when it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised. Refer to note 8 for details of the judgement applied in the current period in relation to income taxes.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The consolidated entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the economic characteristics, the nature of the activities and the regulatory environment in which those segments operate. Prior period information has been restated to reflect the current composition of reportable segments.
70
==> picture [101 x 37] intentionally omitted <==
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONT)
The consolidated entity has two reportable segments based on the development stage of the projects and the mineral resource and exploration activities in Africa. Unallocated results, assets and liabilities represent corporate amounts that are not core to the reportable segments.
Activity by segment
Africa-Kanyika
The Africa-Kanyika segment includes the Kanyika Niobium project in Malawi with an estimated reserve of 68 million tonnes of niobium.
Africa-Exploration
The Africa-Exploration segment includes the following exploration projects:
-
Mt. Muambe Flourite project in Mozambique
-
Machinga Niobium-Tantalum project in Malawi
-
Salambidwe REE project in Malawi

6. CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERROR
During the year ended 30 June 2013 management has reviewed the assessment of the functional currency of each entity in the group. As a result of the review it has been determined that the previous assessment of the functional currency was incorrectly assessed as follows:
| Subsidiary | Location | Previous Assessment | Reassessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Globe Metals and Mining (Exploration) | Malawi | Malawi Kwacha | Australian dollars |
| Limited | |||
| Globe Metals and Mining (Africa) Limited | Malawi | Malawi Kwacha | Australian dollars |
| Globe Metals and Mining Mozambique | Mozambique | Mozambique New Metical | Australian dollars |

*Carried Forward balances have been adjusted to reflect correction of prior period error as per Note 6.
The value of the Group’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
-
the continuance of the consolidated entity’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
the results of future exploration; and
-
the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.
-
no significant changes in laws and regulations that greatly impact the company’s ability to maintain tenure.

13. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE (CONT)
The Group’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to indigenous people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.
- (a) Globe has commenced a feasibility study on the Mount Muambe project as required under the joint venture agreement and it is planned to be completed in October as per the contractual obligations. Preliminary indications are that more higher grade fluorite would have to be found to ensure an economically viable project. The same is also considered for the rare earth (REE) potential at Mount Muambe. Consequently, there is a risk that the carrying amount exceeds the likely recoverable value from the projects development or sale and therefore the Company has determined that for accounting purposes the asset is impaired and has written off all costs.

Management of Share Capital
The Directors primary objectivity is to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Group. At reporting date, the Group has no external borrowings.
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Share Buy-Back
The share buy-back program was completed on 24 May 2013. During the buy-back program the Company bought 5,810,674 shares on-market for a total cost of $677,451. The share buy-back program was commenced on 14 June 2012, following approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board to buy back up to 10,080,674 shares, or approximately 5% of contributed equity. The highest price paid was 15 cents on 14 June 2012 and the lowest price paid was 6.4 cents on 20 May 2013.
There is no current on-market buy back.
Capital Risk Management
The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends, return capital to shareholders, issue/buy-back shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity’s share price at the time of investment. The consolidated entity is not currently pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2012 annual report.

21. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
-
a) Intercompany recharges in respect of services/goods defrayed by the parent on behalf of its Mozambican subsidiary incur a 20% Withholding Tax in Mozambique. The payment of tax crystallises upon the funds being remitted to the Australian parent company. Given the inherent uncertainty surrounding the timing and variability of future cashflows and application of laws and regulations, the Group determined that it was not practical to estimate any potential financial impact but has disclosed the potential withholding tax as a contingent liability.
-
b) On 7 May 2013 Globe announced an MOU with ECE, its major shareholder, to fund exploration activity. The announcement advised that Globe was to reimburse costs to ECE upon identification of JORC resource and commission of a pre-feasibility study. At this stage of the exploration activities there is low probability of defining resources that would necessitate Globe to reimburse costs of exploration. No provision for payment has been made in these accounts.
-
c) In the opinion of the directors there were no other contingent liabilities at 30 June 2013 (nil: 30 June 2012), and the interval between 30 June 2013 and the date of this report.
22. COMMITMENTS
(a) Exploration commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to mining tenements, the Group has the following discretionary exploration expenditure requirements up until expiry of leases. These obligations, which are subject to renegotiation upon expiry of the leases, are not provided for in the financial statements and are payable:
| Not longer than one year Longer than one year, but not longer than five years Longer than five years |
Consolidated 2013 $’000 2012 $’000 1,832 7,496 163 1,100 - - 1,995 8,596 |
|---|---|
| 1,995 |
If the Group decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the statement of financial position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations.
(b) Operating lease expenditure commitments
| Not longer than one year Longer than one year, but not longer than five years Longer than five years |
Consolidated 2013 $’000 2012 $’000 177 167 40 178 - - 217 345 |

(ii) On 7 May 2013 Globe announced an MOU with ECE, its major shareholder, to fund exploration activity.

(d) Terms and conditions

24. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
On 5 September 2013 Globe announced that it would raise a total of approximately A$1.6 million from the issue of Convertible Notes at a premium to the current share price to Apollo Metals Investment Co Limited (“Apollo”); and that it will further offer eligible shareholders a non-renounceable rights issue offer at A$0.045 share price, to raise a further A$9.9 million. Apollo is to fully underwrite the rights issue and shareholder approval is to be sought at the Annual General Meeting for the issue of the shortfall of the rights issue to Apollo as underwriter of the rights issue.
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period which have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

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 judgement, 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 consolidated entity’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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the 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 Corporations Act 2001 .
