CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of Torian Resources NL ("Company") is committed to maintaining high standards of Corporate Governance. This statement outlines the main Corporate Governance practices that where adopted or in place throughout the financial year, which comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council recommendations, unless otherwise stated.

Roles of the Board and Management

Torian Resources has established the functions reserved to the Board as detailed in the Board Charter which is published on the Company's website.

The Board's key objectives are to:

  • create an environment for employees, other contributors and stakeholders which engenders trust, confidence, faith, loyalty and dedication to the interests and affairs of the Company;
  • increase shareholder value within an appropriate framework which safeguards the rights and interests of the Company's shareholders; and
  • ensure the Company is properly managed and operated with integrity.

The Board is also governed by the Company's constitution. The day to day management of the Company's affairs and implementation of corporate strategies and policy initiatives are formally delegated by the Board to the Executive Chairman.

The Board reviews the performance of all staff periodically and at least annually. The Executive Chairman meets one-on-one with each staff member for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating their performance in meeting key responsibilities and achieving objectives.

The evaluation of the performance of all members of staff took place throughout the year.

Board Structure

The Board is comprised of three directors, one of whom is a non-executive and none of whom are independent. Given the Company's background, the nature and size of its business and the current stage of its development, the Board believes that this is both appropriate and acceptable at this time. The skills, experience and period in office for each director are set out in this Annual Report in the Directors' Report and on the website.

The Board reviews its composition periodically and has the intention to appoint appropriate independent directors as required.

The Chairperson, Mr Peter Ashcroft is not independent but, due to his experience and expertise in areas the Company operates in, the Board considers he is suitably skilled to perform the role.

The positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are held by the same person. The Board believes this conserves cash resources by utilising the skills of Mr Peter Ashcroft.

Nomination Committee

The Company will establish a nomination committee charter; however it has not established a nomination committee at this time due to the company's background, nature and size of its business and the current stage of its development.

ABN 72 002 261 565

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONT.)

The Board reviews its composition periodically and at least annually to ensure that it has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience. When a vacancy exists, for whatever reasons, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new Director with particular skills, the Board will select appropriate candidates with relevant qualifications, skills and experience. External advisors may be used to assist in such a process. The Board will then appoint the most suitable candidate who must stand for election at the next annual general meeting of shareholders.

For Directors retiring by rotation, the Board assesses that director before recommending re-election.

Board Performance

The Board has established a Board Performance Evaluation Policy which is published on the Company's website.

The Company believes it is important that the Board review its own performance and those of its Committees (if any) with a view to achieving and maintaining a high level of performance. It will meet periodically for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating its performance in meeting its key responsibilities and achieving its objectives. As part of this review, the performance of the Board as a whole, each Director and the Chairman will be assessed.

A review was not conducted in 2011 due to the number of changes in the composition of the Board and the direction of the Company. The Board chose to defer the review until there has been a period of consistency.

Access to External Resources

The Directors have access to external resources including independent professional advice, as required to fully discharge their obligations as Directors of the Company as detailed in the Board Charter, published on the Company's website. The use of this resource is co-ordinated through the Chairman of the Board.

Code of Conduct

The Company is committed to its Directors and employees maintaining high standards of integrity, and ensuring that activities are in compliance with the letter and spirit of both the law and Company policies.

It has established a Code of Conduct which is available of the Company's website. Each staff member is to be issued with the Company's Code of Conduct at the beginning of their employment with the Company.

Diversity Policy

The Company is actively managing diversity as a means of enhancing the Company's performance by recognising and utilising the contributions of diverse skills and talent from its employees. It has established a diversity policy which is published on the Company's website.

The Company believes that the promotion of diversity on boards, in senior management and within the organisation generally broadens the pool for recruitment of high quality directors and employees; is likely to support employee retention; through the inclusion of different perspectives, is likely to encourage greater innovation; and is socially and economically responsible governance practice.

ABN 72 002 261 565

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONT.)

The Board of Directors is responsible for adopting and monitoring the Company's Diversity Policy. The policy sets out the beliefs and goals and strategies of the Company with respect to diversity within the Company. Diversity within the Company means all the things that make individuals different to one another including gender, ethnicity, religion, culture, language, sexual orientation, disability and age. It involves a commitment to equality and to treating one another with respect.

The Company employs three women out of a total of eight employees for the whole organisation. This includes the Office Manager and Company Secretary.

The Board is small, comprising three members, which the Director's feel is appropriate given the Company's background, the nature and size of its business and the current stage of its development. There are currently no women on the Board.

Audit Committee

The Board has not established an audit committee. All Directors are responsible for the integrity of the Company's financial reporting and, given the size of the current Board, the Directors feel that there would be no efficiencies gained from a formal committee structure.

The Company will establish an Audit Committee Charter and publish the same on its website when it is of the appropriate size and stage of development to warrant a separate Audit Committee.

Continuous Disclosure

The Company has a formal Continuous Disclosure Policy which is published on the Company's website. The policy requires all executives and Directors to inform the Executive Chairman or, in his absence, the Company Secretary of any potentially material information as soon as practical after they become aware of that information.

Information is material if it is likely that the information would influence investors who commonly acquire securities on the ASX in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold the Company's securities.

Information need not be disclosed only if the ASX listing rules provide for non-disclosure.

The Executive Chairman is responsible for interpreting and monitoring the Company's disclosure policy and where necessary informing the Board. The Company Secretary is responsible for all communications with ASX.

Communication with Shareholders

The Company recognises the importance of regular and proactive interaction with the market in order to ensure the Company's investors remain fully informed about its activities.

The Company has established a formal Shareholder Communications Policy which is published on the Company's website.

ABN 72 002 261 565

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONT.)

Risk Management

The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Company's risk management and control framework. Responsibility for control and risk management is delegated to the appropriate level of management within the Company, with the Executive Chairman, having ultimate responsibility to the Board for the risk management and control framework.

The Company's Risk Management Policy is published on the Company's website.

Remuneration Committee

The Company has a charter for a remuneration committee however; a committee has not been established at this time. Given the small size of the Board, the entire Board performs the functions of the remuneration committee.

The Company outlines the structure of remuneration of non-executive Directors and executives of the Company in the Remuneration report in the Annual Report.

The Company does not provide any schemes for retirement benefits, other than superannuation, for nonexecutive Directors. It prohibits employees and Directors from entering into transactions in associated products which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity-based remuneration schemes.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONT.)

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the Group during the course of the financial year were the exploration and evaluation of mineral interests. There were no other significant changes in the nature of those activities during the financial year.

Results of Operations

The consolidated loss for the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 is \$4,490,027 (2010: \$685,086).

Dividends

No dividends were paid or declared by the Group since the end of the previous financial year and the Directors do not recommend dividends be paid for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Review of operations

During the year, the Group has focused on developing its Madagascar Joint Venture with Varun Madagascar, a division of Mumbai-listed company Varun Industries. This is a production sharing joint venture to mine both gold and gemstones from two highly prospective adjacent exploitation (production) licences in Vatovorona, Madagascar.

With respect to these particular tenements, the joint venture allows Torian a 35% share of profits from production upon earning this ongoing interest through the initial expenditure of 75% of the first US\$3.4 million (being US\$2.55 million), to be invested in the ground.

Highlights of the Vatovorona gold project:

  • 35% of the gold production to Torian;
  • Exploitation licences issued for 20 years;
  • Gold currently being produced from the licences;
  • Gold quartz vein 1.5 metres wide and exposed at the surface, and open in all directions;
  • Good topography for ease of access and development;
  • Stage 1 trenching designed to produce gold in the first 6 months;
  • No modern investigation has ever taken place;
  • Torian contribution is 75% of the first US\$3.4 million (being US\$2.55 million) to be invested in the ground;
  • No upfront fees payable or share issues required to enter into the JV;
  • All pre-JV costs to be recovered by Varun from its 65% share of production

At the date of this report, the venture company has completed a trial mining pit as well as the drilling of over 2,000 metres of RAB holes in the tenements. Assay results from samples gathered to date has also shown promising results indicative of high grade gold mineralisation along the trial zones.

ABN 72 002 261 565

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONT.)

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the year the Group raised \$1,419,410 from share issues net of costs of capital and the exercising of options (2010: \$1,009,879). This has enabled the continuation of the exploration and evaluation of mineral interests.

In 2011, the Group changed its strategic direction from developing its diamond exploration projects in New South Wales towards the exploration and production of gold and gemstones in Madagascar. This is being undertaken as a joint venture with Varun Madagascar as Varun Torian International Limited.

The Group has also rationalised its corporate structure by winding up several of its unused subsidiaries and applying for their deregistration with ASIC. These companies held no tenements and have no other assets or legal liabilities.

During the year, the Group completed the sale of its office and warehouse premises in Inverell, NSW at a value of \$310,000. Having extensively reviewed the Group's operations within Australia, as well as the cost of maintaining permanent facilities in Inverell, the Directors have decided that the Group will utilise contract services for all exploration and trial mining activities in the future.

The Company has entered into a funding agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors Inc to issue two tranches of funding in return for proceeds of USD\$3 million, with an option by the Company to secure a further USD\$1.5 million.

After reviewing the capitalised exploration assets of the Group at 31 December 2011, the Directors have decided to recognise an impairment expense of \$883,888 against the Egerton gold prospects following a shift in focus towards the Madagascan joint venture.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations

Further information about likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

Matters Subsequent to Year End

At the date of this report the following events have arisen since 31 December 2011 and will significantly affect the operations of the Group:

  • Post balance date, the Company has received additional USD\$450,000 of convertible note proceeds under its agreement with LJC;
  • Further conversions by LJC under the convertible note agreement amounted to USD\$490,556;
  • By February 2012, the joint venture company, Varun Torian International, had completed the drilling of 139 15 meter RAB holes as part of its drilling program in Madagascar. To date, over 2,000 metres of RAB holes have been drilled and samples taken from these holes are stored on site prior to freighting to South Africa for assaying;
  • Varun Torian International has also established an onsite sample preparation lab in Vatovorona, enabling the JV to expedite the drying, crushing, pulverising, homogenising and labelling of samples for shipment to assay labs.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONT.)

In the Directors opinion, no other subsequent events have arisen that significantly affect the operations of the Group,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Torian Resources NL and controlled entities ('Consolidated Group' or 'Group'), and the separate financial statements and notes of Torian Resources NL as an individual parent entity ('Company')

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 and the Corporations Act 2001

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are reported below. They have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Accounting Policies

a. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity Torian Resources NL has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 11 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a 31 December 2011 financial year-end for this current year.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).

All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the Company.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, their operating results have been included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.

Minority interests, being that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests held by persons outside the Group, are shown separately within the Equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

b. Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the results for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Torian Resources NL formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime with its domestic subsidiaries listed under Note 11.

c. Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Office equipment and furniture 25%
Plant and equipment 25%
Motor vehicles 25%
Buildings and improvements 2%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

d. Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Currently the practice is to capitalise all expenses that have been incurred and are in direct relation to the exploration of resources.

Indirect costs such as administrative and general operational costs will be expensed on the basis that they are necessarily incurred.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

f. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

g. Investments in joint ventures

Investments in joint venture companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognised the Group's share of post-acquisition reserves of joint ventures.

i. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of the cash flows.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

j. Equity-settled Compensation

There has been no equity based compensation with the exception of that described at Note 21. The capital subscribed to as per this note was acquired at fair value at the time of purchase.

Options issues have their fair value determined with reference to an approved valuation methodology, such as the Black-Scholes valuation method. On issue, the fair value of an option is taken to the Income Statements equity settled compensation, with a corresponding credit to the options reserve. This is then disclosed as other comprehensive income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income to show other net profit position of the Group from a third party perspective.

Shares have their value determined using the direct method of share price at date of issue multiplied by the number of shares issued.

k. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

l. Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established

Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

m. Finance

Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other finance costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

ABN 72 002 261 565

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

n. 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. 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.

Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. There is provision made in the Statement of Cash Flows to disclose the applicable GST refunds/payments that have been remitted to the ATO to accurately show the cash position of Torian Resources NL.

o. Comparative Figures

Comparative figures have been derived from the audited financial statements for Torian Resources NL for the year ended 31 December 2010, and changes in presentation are made where necessary to comply with accounting standards.

p. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key Estimates — Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Key Judgments — Doubtful Debts Provision

As a result of no trading throughout the period, Torian Resources NL has no questionable receivables.

Key Judgments — Recoverability of Capitalised Exploration Assets

To date, Torian Resources NL has achieved results which have been verified through independent reporting and testing. The capitalised exploration assets are therefore concluded to be fully recoverable at balance date.

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised current standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. The adoption of these new and revised standards and interpretations' has not resulted in changes to the groups accounting policies.

ABN 72 002 261 565

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)

At the date of authorisation of the financial report the following Australian Accounting Standards have been issued or amended and are applicable to the Company and Consolidated Group but are not yet effective. They have not been adopted in preparation of the financial statements at reporting date and the Directors do not expect that these changes will have a material impact on the financial performance or position in future periods.

q. Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

At the date of authorisation of the financial report, new accounting standards have been issued but are not yet effective. Directors do not expect that these changes will have a material effect on the financial report in future periods.

r. Going concern

The Directors have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

For the financial year ended 31 December 2011, the Group incurred a net loss after tax of \$4,490,027 (2010: loss \$685,086). The Group generated negative cash flows from operating activities for the year of \$1,059,196 (2010: negative \$954,875). The Group's net current asset position at 31 December 2011 was \$466,702 (Company: \$305,234) and its cash balance amounted to \$362,445 (Company: \$204,379) at that date.

The Directors' cash flow forecasts project that the Company and the Group will continue to be able to meet their liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of this financial report. The cash flow forecasts are dependent upon the generation of sufficient cash flows from operating activities, or the receipt of additional debt or equity funds, to meet working capital requirements and the ability of the Group to manage discretionary spending.

The Directors are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they are satisfied as to the ability of the Company and the Group to implement the above.

The Directors continue to assess the financing and capital requirements of the Group, which may include the need to raise additional funds to meet future obligations and expansion. However, the Directors believe that the ability of the Company and the Group to continue to pay their liabilities and obligations as and when they fall due and to meet their contractual commitments is not dependent upon the raising of additional funds.

The financial report does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and the Group not continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4: INCOME TAX EXPENSE (CONT.)

The Group has carry forward tax losses, calculated according to Australian income tax legislation of \$30,358,169 (2010: \$29,293,372), which will be deductible from future assessable income provided that income is derived, and:

  • a) The Company and its controlled entities carry on prescribed mining operations as defined in the income Tax Assessment Act, as appropriate; or
  • b) The Company and its controlled entities carry on a business of, or a business that includes exploration or prospecting in Australia, for the purpose of discovering or extracting minerals, as appropriate; and
  • c) No change in tax legislation adversely affects the Company and its controlled entities in realising the benefit from the deduction for the losses.

The benefit of these losses will only be recognised where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

There is no expectation of the Director's that any of the above amounts are required to be impaired as all amounts are anticipated to be fully recoverable. Whilst the above amounts are unsecured, there is no question as to the creditworthiness of the Group's debtors.

Allowance for impairment loss

Trade receivables and other receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-60 day terms. A provision for impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual receivable is impaired. No impairment has been recognised by the Group and Company in the current year. No receivable is past due.

Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as security, nor is it the Group's policy to transfer on-sell receivables to special purpose entities.

Interest rate risk

Detail regarding interest rate risk exposure is disclosed in Note 23.

Investments in joint venture companies are valued at fair value at year end, which is calculated as follows:

  • fair value of the investment at the beginning of the year (or, for acquisitions during the year, the fair value of the investment on acquisition);
  • less equity accounted share of losses during the year;
  • less impairment losses during the year.

Any impairment losses during the year are calculated as the difference between:

  • the fair value of the investment at the beginning of the year (or, for acquisitions during the year, the fair value of the investment on acquisition) less equity accounted share of losses during the year; and
  • the fair value of the investment calculated at year end using the last quoted bid price plus the value of any options held, calculated using the assumptions set out below.

Total 423,140 -

During the year, the Company entered into a funding agreement with La Jolla Cove Investors Inc to issue two tranches of funding in return for proceeds of USD\$3 million, with an option by the Company to secure a further USD\$1.5 million.

The term of the agreement is 3 years, starting with an initial payment of \$450,000 and \$200,000 per month thereafter until total proceeds of \$3,000,000 has been received. Interest accrues on the convertible notes at 4.5% p.a. and the Group has the option to settle any interest accrued by way of equity issue. Where the convertible notes have not yet been converted to ordinary shares by 2 years and 9 months from the date of issue, the Group is entitled to compel La Jolla to convert the unconverted notes.

The conversion price of the convertible notes is the lesser of \$0.04 or 85% of the three lowest volume weighted average prices (VWAP) during the twenty-one trading days prior to the election to convert. Assuming a share price of \$0.002, the remaining balance of the convertible note will be convertible to 248,905,882 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company.

The first convertible note was issued on 2 September 2011 and total proceeds of USD\$1.05 million have been received to 31 December 2011.

NOTE 17: ISSUED CAPITAL (CONT.)

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. At the shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group's capital includes ordinary share capital, shares and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group's capital by assessing the group's financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distribution to shareholders and share issues.

NOTE 23: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

General Objectives, Policies and Processes

The Group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Groups' exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and policies. The Group's risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of objectives where such impacts may be material. The Board periodically reviews the effectiveness of the process put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible. Further details regarding these policies are set out below:

NOTE 23: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT.)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors or counterparties to derivative contracts fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Group.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:

2011 2010
\$ \$
Trade receivables 318,707 20,217
Security bonds 19,238 23,165
Deposits with government bodies 330,721 214,568

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments due to creditors. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained. The Group's operations require it to raise capital on an on-going basis to fund its planned exploration program and to commercialise its tenement assets.
