RESULTS

The result for the half year ended 31 December 2015 attributable to members of Globe was a net loss after tax of $4.560 Million (2014: $1.749 Million).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the half year ending 31 December 2015, Globe’s operational focus was on the advancement of its niobium and graphite projects in Malawi (Africa).

Globe’s key assets are its Kanyika Niobium Project and its Chiziro Graphite Project, both located in the central part of Malawi, north of the capital city Lilongwe.

Globe also has other exploration projects at various stages of exploration in Malawi and Mozambique, however these received limited attention during the half year.

Kanyika Niobium Project

The Kanyika Niobium Project is host to a 2004 JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 68.3M tonnes of Nb2O5 using a 1,500 ppm Nb2O5 cut-off (refer ASX announcement dated 7 January 2013).

Niobium (Nb) and Tantalum (Ta) are key additives in steel manufacture, electronics and ceramics.

During the half year, the Company continued to seek parties interested in off-take agreements for niobium and tantalum, and explored a range of financing and investment options. At the same time, the Company continued to examine opportunities for project enhancement, including reconfiguration of project arrangements.

The overall Definitive Feasibility Study remains incomplete until costed off-take agreements are in place.

GLOBE METALS AND MINING LIMITED ABN 33 114 400 609 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Kanyika Exclusive Prospecting Licence (EPL0188) was due for expiry at the end of December 2014. In mid-December 2014, Globe applied for a Mining Licence to cover the Kanyika Nb-Ta resource and all areas covering proposed mine infrastructure and prospective exploration areas. In June 2015, Globe received formal notice from the Malawi Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy & Mining of Mining Lease approval subject to completion of the Development Agreement. The Development Agreement is substantially complete as at the date of this report.

Chiziro Graphite Project

During the half year ended 31 December 2015, Globe continued to assess the graphite potential at Chiziro.

A formal agreement was reached in September 2015 with the Malawi Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy & Mining allowing Globe access to the previously excised Katengeza Prospect, located in the north of the Chiziro project area. 27 samples were collected from the Katengeza Prospect area and immediate surrounds, with assay results demonstrating strong graphite mineralisation with more than half of the samples reporting greater than 10% total graphitic carbon.

In December 2015, a 200 kilogram graphite-rich sample collected from the Chimutu prospects was transported from Malawi to Western Australian laboratory for the purposes of metallurgical test-work. The results of the metallurgical test-work released in February 2016 demonstrate favourable graphite characteristics including a large proportion of coarse flake at an acceptable recovery.

Machinga Rare Earth Project

Exploration on this Project is at an early stage. Soil sampling programmes in 2013 and 2014 field seasons outlined a substantial rare earth element and a Nb-Ta anomalism.

During the half year ended 31 December 2015, no substantial work was undertaken.

Subsequent to year end a decision has been made to seek parties interested in purchase or joint venture. Globe does not intend to advance this Project.

Accordingly, a provision for impairment of $3,274,479 has been raised in relation to this Project. The carrying value of the Machinga Rare Earth Project is therefore nil at 31 December 2015.

Salimbidwe Rare Earth Project

Exploration on this Project is at an early stage.

During the half year ended 31 December 2015, no substantial work was undertaken.

Subsequent to year end, a decision has been made to seek parties interested in purchase or joint venture. Globe does not intend to advance this Project.

Accordingly, a provision for impairment of $179,825 has been raised in relation to this Project. The carrying value of the Salimbidwe Rare Earth Project is therefore nil at 31 December 2015.

	30,879 29,471 319 1,415 (3,454) - (4) (7)
	27,740 30,879

(a) Impairment relates to Machinga & Salimbidwe areas of interest, due to the decision to discontinue exploration on these areas.

• (b) Exploration expenditure written off relates to Mt Muambe and Memba projects in Mozambique that have previously been impaired.

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;

• the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale; and

• no significant changes in laws and regulations that greatly impact the company’s ability to maintain tenure.

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.

Report on the half-year financial report to the members of Globe Metals and Mining Limited

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Globe Metals and Mining Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Globe Metals and Mining Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Globe Metals and Mining Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
