DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Directors present their report on the consolidated entity (the “Group”) consisting of Grange Resources Limited (“Grange” or “the Company”) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 31 December 2011 .

During the prior reporting period the Company received confirmation from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”), of a change in its financial year end date from 30 June to 31 December. This change means that the prior reporting period was a transitional one from 1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010 (i.e. six months). Reporting periods are now prepared for a twelve month period from 1 January to 31 December. Due to the difference in the duration of the reporting periods presented in the financial statements, the amounts presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Cash Flows are not entirely comparable.

Review of results

Full year result

Grange recorded a consolidated profit after tax of $216.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2011. The result was achieved on pellet sales of 1.7 million tonnes and revenues from mining operations of $410.4 million. Revenues also include $52.1 million associated with sales made under interim pricing arrangements in 2010.

The reduction in pellet sales during 2011 was primarily driven by lower pellet production as a result of lower magnetite grades being mined from remnant ore bodies rather than the main ore zone in

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

the North pit where the wall failure occurred in June 2010. The East Wall was “cut back” during the year and mining has now returned to the main ore zone in the North pit.

The remediation of the East Wall increased costs during the year with a C1 cost of pellet production of A$111.68 per tonne. Phase I of the remediation work is now complete and access to the main ore zone of the North pit was re-established during Q4 2012. Re-establishing this access during Q4 2012 resulted in the C1 unit cost of pellet production returning to lower levels of A$85.73 per tonne. It is important to note that the East Wall remediation program was conducted concurrently to normal mining operations which mined remnant ore bodies and maintained ore supply and pellet production to meet contractual sales obligations.

At 31 December 2011, Grange has $203.1 million in cash and term deposits (31 December 2010 = $106.4 million) and $44.9 million in debt (31 December 2010 = $47.0 million), of which $25.6 million relates to a mobile equipment lease facility (31 December 2010 = $35.3 million).

With no net debt, and with costs and production at the operation well understood, Grange is well positioned to take advantage of what continues to be a strong iron ore market.

Safety performance

Safety performance was sustained with no Lost Time Injuries (“LTI”) recorded for the fifth consecutive quarter. In 2011 the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) fell from 9.1 (31 December 2010) to 4.7 (31 December 2011), a 48% improvement. This trend is a credit to our employees and continues to reflect the strong and increased emphasis on safety management at the operations. We know that a safe mine is a productive one.

Production

The Savage River mine and pellet plant have operated for many years and new records at the operations continue to be achieved.

As part of the long term strategic plan, a number of significant activities were completed during the year:

Phase 1 of the East Wall remediation was completed concurrently with normal mining operations. This has resulted in access to the North Pit being re-established providing access to higher grade ore, such that pellet production is targeted to increase by 15-20% in 2012.
The truck fleet was rebuilt, the first rebuild since the trucks were commissioned in 2008.
The concentrator had major maintenance to the AG mills and a Ball Mill was replaced. A new AG mill is being constructed and will be on site and available in Q3 2012.
The mine life was extended by four years to 2030, with an on-going exploration drilling program at the Long Plains deposit providing potential to extend the life further.

Operations mined a total of 15.6 million BCM of ore and waste, a great achievement given the technical and scheduling complexities associated with the concurrent East Wall remediation and the mining of multiple remnant low grade bodies on site.

The concentrator milled 3.5% more tonnes than in any previous year of its 40 year history.

The pellet plant has continued to perform well, and produced 1.97 million tonnes of premium quality blast furnace pellets.

Southdown Magnetite Project

The Southdown magnetite project, situated 90km from the city of Albany in Western Australia, is a joint venture between Grange and Sojitz Resources & Technology Pty Ltd (Sojitz) (70%:30%). The project has 1.2 billion tonnes of high quality resource, which outcrops at the western end of its 12km strike length. The project is advanced and has access to established infrastructure.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

During 2011 the following was progressed on the project:

In March 2011, AMEC Minproc and GHD completed a +/-20% pre-feasibility study for a 10 Mtpa operation at the Southdown project. In the first quarter of 2012, a +/-15% definitivefeasibility study will be completed.
An $8.3 million resource and geotechnical drilling program, resulting in increased resources and improved resource confidence.
Ground water drilling for construction water.
Detailed mine planning.
Metallurgical test work and pilot plant testing to finalise the process flow sheet.
• Land access.
Environmental permitting for the desalination permit.

Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations

Specific details of the likely developments in the operations of the Company, prospects and business strategies and their expected results in future financial periods have not been included in this report as inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

Environmental Regulation

The mining and exploration tenements held by the Group contain environmental requirements and conditions that the entities must comply with in the course of normal operations. These conditions and regulations cover the management of the storage of hazardous materials and rehabilitation of mine sites.

The Group is subject to significant environmental legislation and regulation in respect of its mining, processing and exploration activities as set out below:

Savage River and Port Latta Operations

The Group obtained approvals to operate in 1996 and 1997 under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act (LUPA) and the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act (EMPCA) as well as the Goldamere Act and Mineral Resources Development Act. The land use permit conditions for Savage River and Port Latta are contained in Environmental Protection Notices 248/2 and 302/2 respectively. The currently approved Environmental Management Plans were submitted for Savage River and Port Latta on 21 December 2010. The extension of the project’s

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

life was approved by the Department of Tourism, Arts and the Environment on 12 March 2007 and together with the Goldamere Act and the Environmental Protection Notices, is the basis for the management of all environmental aspects of the mining leases. The Group has been relieved of any environmental obligation in relation to contamination, pollutants or pollution caused by operations prior to the date of the Goldamere Agreement (December 1996).

During the financial period there were no major breaches of licence conditions.

Southdown Joint Venture

The Southdown Joint Venture is seeking approvals through the Western Australian and Commonwealth processes and is well advanced. The Southdown Joint Venture has not been responsible for any activities which would cause a breach of environmental legislation.

Mount Windsor Joint Venture

The Group is a junior partner (30%) in the Mt Windsor project in North Queensland which is now being rehabilitated for future lease relinquishment. The Transitional Environment Program required by the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management has been largely completed with re-seeding works and ground water model calibration outstanding. The Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management has expressed its satisfaction with the program. A comprehensive plan has been developed and instigated to manage the leases with relinquishment expected in 2016.

National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007

The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 requires the Group to report its annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use by 31 October each year. The Group has implemented systems and processes for the collection and calculation of the data required and has submitted its annual reports to the Greenhouse and Energy Data Officer by 31 October each year.

Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006

Following a decision by the Delegate of the Secretary to the Department, Grange Resources Limited was officially registered under section 13 of the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006. Annual investigation and reporting programs under the legislation have been implemented. The Group submitted its first annual government report prior to 31 December 2011. The Group’s first annual public report is available on the Grange website in the reports section.

Clean Energy Act 2011

On 8 November 2011, the Senate passed the Clean Energy Act and related legislation. This act sets up a carbon pricing mechanism and deals with the assistance for emissions-intensive through the Jobs and Competitiveness Program. The Group has commenced preparation for the introduction of the Clean Energy Act and related legislation from 1 July 2012 and has received confirmation that it will receive assistance through the Jobs and Competitiveness Project for the emissions-intensive trade-exposed activities of Production of Iron Ore Pellets and Production of Magnetite Concentrate in the moderately emissions-intensive category.

REMUNERATION REPORT

This remuneration report sets out remuneration information for Non-executive Directors; Executive Directors, other key management personnel and the five highest remunerated executives of the Group and the Company.

Principles Used to Determine the Nature and Amount of Remuneration

(i) Remuneration Philosophy

It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality executive team by remunerating Directors and executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant market conditions. To assist in achieving this objective, the Board attempts to link the nature and amount of executives’ emoluments to the Company’s performance. The outcome of the remuneration structure is:

the retention and motivation of key executives;
attraction of quality personnel with appropriate expertise; and
performance incentives that allow executives to share the rewards of the success of Grange.

(ii) Remuneration Structure

Using external remuneration sector comparative data, the Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation.

The performance of the Company largely depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. To prosper the Company must be able to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and executives. To achieve this, the Company adheres to the following principles in formulating its remuneration framework:

provide competitive rewards to attract high calibre executives;
link executive rewards to shareholder value; and
establish appropriate, demanding performance hurdles for variable executive remuneration.

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay, and a blend of short and long term incentives.

Non-executive Directors

Fees and payments to Non-executive Directors reflect the responsibilities and demands made on them. Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board also considers comparative market data and if required the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of Non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market.

Directors’ Fees

The current remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 1 November 2011. The Chairman’s remuneration is inclusive of committee fees while other Non-executive Directors who chair a Committee receive additional yearly fees. The Deputy Chairman is also entitled to receive an additional yearly fee.

Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $800,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 26 November 2010.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

The following annual fees (inclusive of superannuation) have applied:

	From 1 November	From 1 July 2010 to
	2011	31 October 2011
Board of Directors
Chairman(1)	$150,000	$130,000
Deputy chairman	$85,000	$85,000
Non-executive Director	$75,000	$75,000

Committee member	$5,000	$5,000
Health, Safety and Environment Committee(2)
Chairman	$15,000	-
Committee Member	$10,000	-

(1) The Chairman is not paid any additional amounts for Committee membership.

(2) During the year the Board established a dedicated Health, Safety and Environment Committee.

Options to Non-Executive Directors

In May 2008, shareholders approved the issue of 1.8 million options to Non-executive Directors to act as an incentive for these Directors to align themselves with the Company’s strategic plan focusing on optimising performance with the benefits flowing through to enhanced shareholder returns. These options expired on 6 March 2012. None of the current Non-executive Directors have been awarded options in the Company and the Company does not have a specific option plan in relation to the issue of options to Non-executive Directors. From time to time the Company will also look at industry practice when determining whether options should form part of the Nonexecutive Directors’ remuneration.

Executive Pay

Objective

The Group aims to reward executives with a level and combination of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group so as to:

reward executives for Group and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;
align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; and
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Structure

In determining the level and components of executive remuneration, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee considers recommendations from senior executives which are based upon the prevailing labour market conditions. In addition, independent advice is sought from external consultants as needed in the form of reports detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.

Remuneration consists of the following key elements:

Fixed remuneration (base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits)
• Variable remuneration
short term incentive
long term incentive

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (potential short term and long term incentives) for each executive is set out on page 17.

Fixed Remuneration

Objective

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The process consists of a review of Group and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration externally and internally and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. As noted above, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee has access to external consultants’ advice independent of management.

Structure

Executives are given the opportunity to receive their fixed (primary) remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits. It is intended that the manner of payment chosen is optimal for the recipient without creating any undue cost for the Group.

Variable Remuneration – Short Term Incentive (“STI”)

Objective

The objective of the STI is to link the achievement of the Company’s annual operational targets (usually reflected in the approved budgets) and an individual’s personal targets with the remuneration received by the staff members responsible for meeting those targets. Payments are made as a cash incentive payable after the financial statements have been audited and released to the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). 50% of the STI for an employee relates to company performance goals and 50% relates to personal performance goals.

Variable Remuneration - Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) - Rights and Options

Objective

a) Rights to Grange Shares

The Board will review regularly and reserves the right to vary from time to time the appropriate hurdles and vesting periods for Rights to Grange shares.

The objective for the issue of Rights under the LTI program is to reward selected senior employees in a manner that aligns this element of their remuneration package with the creation of long term shareholder wealth while at the same time securing the employee’s tenure with the Company over the longer term. The LTI grants Rights to the Company’s shares to selected senior employees, and these Rights vest in several equal tranches over the timeframe stipulated in the LTI Plan (currently they vest in three equal tranches over 24 months). 50% of the LTI for an employee relates to company performance goals and 50% relates to personal performance goals. Rights are allocated using a share price that is based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares. For the year ended 31 December 2011 the share price is based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares for the first two months of the performance period (i.e. the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares from 1 January 2011 to 28 February 2011 will be used).

b) Options to Grange Shares

The objective of issuing Options under the LTI program is to provide a mechanism for the Company to selectively reward senior employees for having gone the “extra mile” in dealing with exceptional, unplanned or unexpected issues or circumstances which have impacted the business. The Board of Directors, based on the Managing Director’s recommendation, may discretionally grant the options via the LTI plan processes, and these options vest in over the timeframe stipulated in the LTI Plan from time to time. A maximum number of Options per individual issue has been specified and approved for each job grade in the grade structure matrix. The exercise price of options issued will be equal to a 20% premium on the weighted average price of the Company’s shares in the last three months before the financial period begins. The Company did not issue any options to employees in the 12 months ending 31 December 2011.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

(iii) Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee to assist in establishing policies and practices which enables the Company to attract and retain capable Directors and employees, reward employees fairly and responsibly and meet the Board’s oversight responsibilities in relation to corporate governance practices.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is composed of Mr Neil Chatfield (Committee Chairman), Mr John Hoon and Mr Zhiqiang Xi, all of whom are Non-executive Directors.

The responsibilities and functions for the Remuneration and Nomination Committee include reviewing and making recommendations on the following:

Equity based executive and employee incentive plans;
Recruitment, retention, succession planning, performance measurement and termination policies and procedures for Non-executive Directors, the Managing Director, any other executive Director and the Company Secretary;
The remuneration of the Managing Director; Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer;
Periodically assessing the skills required by the Board;
Recommend processes to evaluate the performance of the Board, its Committees and individual Directors; and
Reviewing governance arrangements pertaining to remuneration matters.

The Charter and Remuneration strategies are reviewed regularly.

The Managing Director is the conduit between the Board and Grange’s staff, and as such leads and manages the implementation of the approved people and performance strategies and ensures the policies and processes are “alive” in business operations. The Managing Director attends meetings of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee by invitation and is required to report on and discuss senior management and staff performance and incentive rewards, the various elements of the administration of the remuneration and performance policies and packages and related people and performance matters as well as succession planning.

On appointment to the Board, all Non-executive Directors enter into a service agreement with the Company. The agreement summarises the Board policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of Director.

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director, and the other key management personnel are formalised in service agreements. Each of the agreements provide for the provision of performance related variable remuneration and other benefits.

In 2011, the Company renewed its Employment Agreement with its Managing Director, Mr Russell Clark. The contract provides for an annual review of the Managing Director’s remuneration. In undertaking the review the Board is required to consider the following:

(a) the Managing Director's individual performance, as determined by the Board;
(b) the performance of the Company, as determined by the Board; and
(c) Market conditions, taking into account the remuneration of Managing Directors in similar companies.

Under the agreement, in the event Mr Clark is terminated by the Company with notice or resigns with requisite notice, providing he abides by the good leaver provisions contained in the agreement, he will be paid nine months salary and superannuation in addition to all unpaid salary, notice and leave entitlements. He will also receive a pro-rata of the maximum annual dollar value of both the short term incentive and long term incentive payments which would otherwise be distributed to him following the next annual performance and remuneration review. Any unvested options or rights would also vest as and when they fall due provided the good leaver provisions are also met.

In the event of illegal acts or serious breaches the Company may terminate the Managing Director without notice. In such instances payment to Mr Clark would be limited to unpaid salary and leave entitlements.

All contracts with other key management personnel of the consolidated Grange Group are ongoing and provide for termination of employment at any time by giving three months notice or by the Company paying an amount equivalent to three months remuneration in lieu of notice.

INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AND ACCESS TO COMPANY INFORMATION

All Directors have the right of access to all relevant Company information, to the Company’s executives and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent professional advice concerning any aspect of the Company’s operations or undertakings at the Company’s expense.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The Board acknowledges its responsibility to set the ethical tone and standards of the Company. Accordingly it has clarified the standards of ethical and professional behaviour required of Directors, employees and contractors through the establishment of a Code of Conduct.

The Code of Conduct requires all Directors, employees and contractors to conduct business with the highest ethical standards, including compliance with the law, and to report or avoid conflict of interest situations. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is mandatory with breaches taken seriously. A copy of the Code of Conduct is located on the Company’s website.

DIVERSITY

Philosophy and Policy

Grange recognises that our employees are our most valuable resource and the means by which we will achieve safe, sustainable, cost effective production. Diversity is one of many elements which helps create sustainable value for our shareholders. Grange takes a broad and all encompassing view of diversity. Diversity is about accepting, respecting and understanding that each person is unique.

In 2011 the Board approved a Diversity Policy. The policy highlights that an individual’s differences can be along the lines of race, cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs or other ideologies.

Diversity can also include an extensive range of individual characteristics and experiences such as communication styles, career path, educational background, family responsibilities and marital status which may influence personal perspectives.

The policy details how Grange supports diversity in its work place. This includes:

Undertaking recruitment of employees at all levels from as diverse a pool of qualified candidates as reasonably possible;
Recruiting and selecting on the basis of merit (skills, qualifications, abilities and achievements);

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

Providing fair and equal access to employees so that no one person or group of people is treated any less favourably or more favourably than others;
Providing a positive and safe work environment that promotes job satisfaction and one in which all employees feel they are valued, treated fairly and recognised for their contribution;
Treating all employees fairy and with respect and dignity as detailed in the Company’s values and the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct and Fair Treatment Policy;
Maintaining a comprehensive range of contemporary policies as part of the “Grange Cares” program covering recruitment, behaviour at work, fair treatment, performance as well as training and personal development;
Reinforcing a performance oriented and merit based organizational culture in which remuneration practices reward and retain employees equally based on performance and potential regardless of gender;
Providing training and personal development plans to maximise safety awareness, job performance and productivity, and the opportunity for promotion;
Complying with anti discrimination and equal employment legislation;
Initiating and supporting actions in our communities which foster diversity and equal opportunities; and
Integrating Board approved diversity targets into business and workforce planning.

In addition the policy also explains how the Board demonstrates its commitment to diversity. This includes:

Using professional intermediaries to source suitably qualified candidates for Board positions.
Providing translation services and other administrative arrangements to accommodate non English speaking Board members;
Assuming responsibility for establishing and reviewing measurable diversity targets (with the assistance of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee);
Reporting on gender participation in the Annual Report each year; and
• Annually reviewing the Diversity Policy.

A copy of the Policy is on the Company’s website.

Gender Participation

While the Company does not presently have any women on the Board the Board does however have cultural diversity with three of the six directors being of overseas origin. When the Board next recruits for an independent non executive director vacancy it plans to instruct the professional intermediary to include at least one woman on the list of potential candidates.

The Company defines executives as those professional or senior managerial team members which report directly to the Managing Director. Of the four executives reporting directly to the Managing Director as at 31 December 2011, one (25%) is a woman. The Company conducts performance based reviews at least annually of all employees and monitors the number of women progressing through its professional and technical ranks.

As at 31 December 2011 the number of women in the Company’s workforce was 59. This represents an overall participation rate of 9.8%. Women comprise 5% of operations/maintenance roles, 22% of administration/supervisory roles and 16% of senior professional roles/managerial roles.

In early 2012 the Company established measurable diversity objectives. In developing its objectives the Board considered the location and nature of the Company’s operations. At present the bulk of the Company’s employees are based at Grange’s Tasmanian operations. Both are mature and established operations and by mining industry standards have a stable workforce with limited turnover. Accordingly the Company aims to have women comprising 25% of senior professional / managerial roles and to increase the overall proportion of women in the workforce to 12% by 2015. In addition the Company will also put in place additional diversity data capture mechanisms during 2012.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

The Board will review progress against these targets at regular intervals. Subject to a decision to proceed with the development of the Southdown project in Western Australia and the commencement of operations there, it is anticipated that there will be opportunities to further increase the participation of women in future years.

TRADING IN COMPANY SECURITIES BY DIRECTORS AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES

To safeguard against insider trading, the Company’s Securities Dealing Policy prohibits employees and Directors from trading in any securities of the Company at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price-sensitive information in relation to those securities.

The policy describes what constitutes insider trading, the penalties for undertaking such activities and makes recommendations on when employees should not trade in the Company’s securities.

The policy also notes designated “blackout” periods during which Directors and employees are not allowed to trade. The Company Secretary advises employees and Directors of the commencement and conclusion of all blackout periods. Before commencing any trade, a Director must first obtain approval of the Chairman and senior management must advise the Company Secretary.

As required by the ASX Listing Rules, the Company notifies the ASX of any transaction conducted by Directors in the securities of the Company.

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE

The Company is committed to providing relevant up-to-date information to its shareholders and the broader investment community in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 .

The Board has implemented a Continuous Disclosure and Market Communication Policy to ensure that information considered material by the Company is immediately reported to the ASX. Other information such as Company presentations are also disclosed to the ASX and are on the Company’s website.

Grange applies the following guiding principles for market communications:

Grange will not disclose price sensitive information to an external party except where that information has previously been disclosed to the market generally.
Timely and accurate information must be provided equally to all shareholders and market participants.
Information must be disseminated by channels prescribed by laws and other channels which Grange considers to be fair, timely and cost-efficient.

The Company’s website provides access to all current and historical information, including ASX announcements, financial reports and other releases.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION

In adopting a Continuous Disclosure and Market Communication Policy, the Board ensures that shareholders are provided with up-to-date information.

Communication to shareholders is facilitated by the production of the annual report, quarterly and half yearly reports, public announcements and the posting of all ASX announcements and other information (including copies of all investor presentations) on the Company’s website. The website contains seven years of historical ASX announcements to facilitate research by investors and shareholders.

Shareholders are encouraged to attend and participate in the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company. Shareholders may raise questions at the AGM and the external auditor is in attendance at such meetings to address any questions in relation to the conduct of the audit.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board acknowledges that risk management is a core component of Director and executive duties and an essential element of good governance. The Board determines the Company’s risk profile and is responsible for overseeing and approving risk management strategy and policies, internal compliance and internal control. A summary of the Company’s Risk Management Policy is available on the Company’s website.

The Board oversees an annual assessment of the effectiveness of risk management and internal compliance and control. The responsibility for undertaking and assessing risk management and internal control effectiveness is delegated to management. Management is required by the Board to assess risk management and associated internal compliance and control procedures and report back on the efficiency and effectiveness of risk management by benchmarking the Company’s performance to the Australia/New Zealand Standard on Risk Management.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided a written statement to the Board that:

their view provided on the Company’s financial report is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the financial policies adopted by the Board; and
that the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively in all material respects.

REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY

The Company’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee meets the enhanced requirements of the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations released in June 2010.

The CEO’s and senior executives’ remuneration packages are in accordance with the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations containing a balance of fixed and incentive pay reflecting both short term and long term incentives which reflect the Company’s core performance requirements. Further details are contained within the Remuneration Report. Non-executive Directors are remunerated by way of fixed cash fees which are inclusive of the superannuation guarantee. They do not receive bonus payments nor are they provided with retirement benefits other than superannuation. Further details are contained within the Remuneration Report.

Note 1: Principle 2 - Structure the Board to Add Value

The Company is not in compliance with recommendations 2.1 and 2.2 of the ASX Best Practice Recommendations. A majority of the Board are not considered to be independent when considered in accordance with the criteria set out in recommendation 2.1 (it presently has equal numbers of independent and non-independent non-executive directors), nor is the Chair an independent Director in accordance with these criteria.

Following the merger with privately held Australian Bulk Minerals (ABM) on 2 January 2009, the shareholders of ABM had the right to appoint four Directors to the Board of which one would be appointed Chair. Prior to the merger, the Company was not in compliance with recommendations 2.1 and 2.2 as the majority of the Board were not considered to be independent, nor was the Chair considered an independent Director.

Despite the Company not being in compliance with these Best Practice Recommendations, the Board believe that the individuals on the Board can and do make quality and independent judgements in the best interests of the Company and other stakeholders.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied for all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements is for the consolidated entity consisting of Grange Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 .

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Grange Resources Limited group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical costs convention, except for certain assets which, as noted, are at fair value.

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

(i) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Grange Resources Limited as at 31 December 2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Grange Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Details of subsidiaries are set out in Note 36.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (refer to note 1(e)).

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

b) Principles of consolidation (continued)

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Group. Disposals of minority interests result in gains and losses for the Group that are recorded in the income statement. Purchases of minority interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary. Minority interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet respectively.

Intercompany 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.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Grange Resources Limited.

(ii) Joint Ventures

Jointly controlled assets

The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a joint venture activity have been incorporated into the financial statements under the appropriate headings. Details of joint ventures are set out in Note 37.

Where part of a joint venture interest is farmed out in consideration of the farm-in party undertaking to incur further expenditure on behalf of both the farm-in party and the entity in the joint venture area of interest, exploration expenditure incurred and carried forward prior to farm out continues to be carried forward without adjustment. Any cash received in consideration for farming out part of a joint venture interest is treated as a reduction in the carrying value of the related mineral property.

(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 Managing Director.

Refer to Note 4 for further information on segment descriptions.

(d) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Grange Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

All foreign currency transactions during the financial period are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit and loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Foreign currency translation (continued)

(ii) Transactions and balances (continued)

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet,
income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, a proportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.

(e) Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange, unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. In a reverse acquisition, if the fair value of the equity instruments of the legal subsidiary is not otherwise clearly evident, the total fair value of all the issued equity instruments of the legal parent before the business combination shall be used as the basis for determining the cost of the combination. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the Group’s incremental borrowing rate, being a proxy for the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(e) Business combinations (continued)

Deferred consideration is measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects the current assessment of the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time or ‘unwinding’ of the discount is recognised as a finance expense. Other movements in deferred consideration, including those from updated short and long-term commodity prices and forward exchange rates are recognised in the income statement to the extent that they do not exceed the discount on acquisition initially recognised.

(f) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities described below.

Revenue is recognised for the major business transactions as follows:

Sales of iron ore

Revenues from the sales of iron ore are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the customer and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the time when title passes to the customer.

The majority of the Group’s sales arrangements specify that title passes when the product is transferred to the vessel on which the product will be shipped. Revenues are generally recognised on the bill of lading date. Sales arrangements allow for an adjustment to the sales price based on a survey of the goods by the customer (an assay for mineral content). Accordingly, sales revenue is initially recognised on a provisional basis using the most recently determined estimate of the product specifications and subsequently adjusted, if necessary, based on a survey of the goods by the customer.

Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the arrangements.

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Dividend revenue

Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.

When the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the income statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

(h) Leases

Leases are classified as either operating or finance leases at the inception of the leases based on the economic substance of their agreement so as to reflect the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

Finance leases, which are those leases that transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item to the Group, are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as property, plant and equipment. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and financing costs. The finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability over the period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under a finance lease is depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

Operating leases are those leases that do not transfer a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group as lessee. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(j) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised and carried at the original invoice amount less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 14 days.

Collectability of trade receivables are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the amount directly. An allowance accounts (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised become uncollectable in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the income statement.

Term deposits held with financial institutions with maturities of more than three months are presented as receivables. Term deposits with a maturity date of more than 12 months after the reporting date are classified as non-current.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(k) Inventories

Raw materials and stores, ore stockpiles, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined primarily on the basis of weighted average costs and comprises of cost of direct materials and the costs of production which include:

labour costs, materials and contractor expenses which are directly attributable to the extraction and processing of ore;
depreciation of property, plant and equipment used in the extraction and processing of ore; and
production overheads directly attributable to the extraction and processing of ore.

Stockpiles represent ore that has been extracted and is available for further processing. If there is significant uncertainty as to when the stockpiled ore will be processed it is expensed as incurred. Where the future processing of the ore can be predicted with confidence because it exceeds the mine’s cut-off grade, it is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress inventory includes partly processed material. Quantities are assessed primarily through surveys and assays.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(l) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses on of it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not revers in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l) Income tax (continued)

Grange Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. On 6 January 2011, the Group merged its two separate tax consolidated group’s and Grange Resources Limited became the head entity of the merged tax consolidated group. As a consequence, Grange Resources Limited and its subsidiaries are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Group are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

(m) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

when GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are presented net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(n) Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings and plant and equipment are measured at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation, amortisation or impairment in value. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Assets under construction are measured at cost and are not depreciated until they are ready and available for use. Depreciation on assets is calculated using either a straight-line or diminishing value method to allocate the cost, net of their residual values, over the estimated useful lives or the life of the mine, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment are depreciated over the shorter lease term.

Other non-mine plant and equipment typically has the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 10 years Plant and Equipment 4 to 8 years Computer Equipment 3 to 5 years

The assets residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial period end.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(n) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the period the asset is derecognised.

(o) Exploration and evaluation

Exploration and evaluation expenditure comprises costs which are directly attributable to:

research and analysing exploration data
conducting geological studies, exploratory drilling and sampling
examining and testing extraction and treatment methods
compiling pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility studies

Exploration and evaluation expenditure also includes the costs incurred in acquiring rights, the entry premiums paid to gain access to areas of interest and amounts payable to third parties to acquire interests in existing projects.

Capitalisation of exploration expenditure commences on acquisition of a beneficial interest, or option to acquire a beneficial interest, in mineral rights.

Mining tenements and capitalised exploration expenditure (including acquisition costs) are stated at cost, less, where applicable, any accumulated amortisation. The carrying amount of deferred mineral exploration and evaluation expenditure is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets.

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future technological changes that could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

Costs arising from the acquisition, exploration and evaluation relating to an area of interest are carried forward provided that rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and provided further that at least one of the following conditions is met:

(i) such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively by its sale; or
(ii) exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not, at balance 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.

To the extent that capitalised exploration expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

Ultimate recoupment of these costs is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale, of the respective areas of interest.

In the event a loss arises from the sale of an area of interest for which expenditure has been carried forward, this will be recorded in the income statement.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(p) Mine properties and development

Mine properties and development represent the accumulation of all exploration, evaluation and development expenditure incurred by, or on behalf of, the entity in relation to areas of interest in which mining of a mineral resource has commenced.

Where further development expenditure is incurred in respect of a production property after the commencement of production, such expenditure is carried forward as part of the cost of that production property only when substantial future economic benefits arise, otherwise such expenditure is classified as part of the cost of production.

Costs on production properties in which the Group has an interest are amortised over the life of the area of interest to which such costs relate on the production output basis. Changes to the life of the area of interest are accounted for prospectively.

The carrying value of each mine property and development are assessed annually for impairment in accordance with Note 1(r).

(q) Deferred mining

Stripping (i.e. overburden and other waste removal) costs incurred in the development of a mine are capitalised as part of the cost of constructing the mine and subsequently amortised over the life of the operation or a discrete section of the ore body.

Waste removal normally continues throughout the life of the mine. The Company defers stripping costs incurred during the production stage of its operations and discloses it within ‘Mine properties and development’.

The amount of stripping cost deferred is based on the ratio obtained by dividing the tonnage of waste mined by the quantity of ore mined. Stripping costs incurred in the period are deferred to the extent that the current period ratio exceeds the life of mine ratio. Such deferred costs are then charged against to the income statement to the extent that, in subsequent periods, the ratio falls short of the life of mine ratio. The life of mine ratio is based on proven and probable reserves of the operation.

Deferred stripping costs form part of the total investment in the relevant cash generating unit, which is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Changes to the life of mine stripping ratio are accounted for prospectively.

(r) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset, including capitalised exploration and evaluation and capitalised development expenditure, may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group’s of assets (cash generating units).

Where there is no binding sale agreement or active market, fair value less costs to sell is based on the best information available to reflect the amount the Group could receive for the cash generating unit in an arm’s length transaction. 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.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(r) Impairment of assets (continued)

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the pre-impairment value, adjusted for any depreciation that would have been recognised on the asset had the initial impairment loss not occurred. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.

(s) Investments and other financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity financial assets 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 each reporting date.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading purposes are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit and loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Held-to-maturity investments

Bills of exchange and debentures are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Financial assets that are available-for-sale are stated at fair value less impairment. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the available-for-sale revaluation reserve, until the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the available-for-sale revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(t) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. The company designates certain derivatives as either hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedges) or hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges), or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to profit or loss from that date.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Amounts deferred in equity are recycled in profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Embedded derivatives

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(u) Financial instruments issued by the company

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

Interest and dividends

Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the balance sheet classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

(v) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The sale of the asset (or disposal group) is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group are held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.

(w) Ore reserves

The Company estimates its ore reserves and mineral resources based on information compiled by Competent Persons as defined in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves of December 2004 (the JORC code). Reserves, and for certain mines resources, determined in this way are used in the calculation of depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges, the assessment of life of mine stripping ratios and for forecasting the timing of the payment of close down and restoration costs.

In assessing the life of a mine for accounting purposes, mineral resources are only taken into account where there is a high degree of confidence of economic extraction.

(x) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(y) Borrowings

All borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, less transaction costs. After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

(z) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that there will be a future sacrifice of economic benefits and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be recovered from a third party, for example under an insurance contract, the receivable is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain and it can be measured reliably. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money. Where this is the case, its carrying amount is the present value of these estimated future cash flows. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Decommissioning and restoration

Decommissioning and restoration provisions include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure and the removal of residual materials and remediation of disturbed areas. The provision is recognised in the accounting period when the obligation arising from the related disturbance occurs, whether this occurs during the mine development or during the production phase, based on the net present value of estimated future costs. The costs are estimated on the basis of a closure plan. The cost estimates are calculated annually during the life of the operation to reflect known developments and are subject to formal review at regular intervals.

The amortisation or ‘unwinding’ of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provisions is charged to the income statement in each accounting period. The amortisation of the discount is shown as a financing cost, rather than as an operating cost. Other movements in the provisions for close down and restoration costs, including those resulting from new disturbance, updated cost estimates, changes to the lives of operations and revisions to discount rates are capitalised within mine properties and development, to the extent that any amount of deduction does not exceed the carrying amount of the asset. Any deduction in excess of the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement immediately. If an adjustment results in an addition to the cost of the related asset, consideration will be given to whether an indication of impairment exists and the impairment policy will apply. These costs are then depreciated over the life of the area of interest to which they relate.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(z) Provisions (continued)

Onerous contracts

An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable cost of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits estimated to be received. Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised as a provision to the extent that the present obligation exceeds the economic benefits estimated to be received.

Restructuring

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Company has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by:

starting to implement the plan; or
announcing its main features to those affected by it.

(aa) Employee entitlements

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave 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 reporting date 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 reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Defined contribution superannuation funds

Contributions to defined contribution funds are recognised as an expense in the income statement as they become payable.

Share-based payment transactions

Share based compensation benefits are provided to Directors and eligible employees under various plans. Information relating to the plans operated by the Company is set out in Note 40.

The fair value of rights and options granted under the plans is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at the grant date and recognised over the period during which the Director or eligible employee become unconditionally entitled to the rights and options.

The fair value of rights is determined with reference to the fair value of rights issued, which includes the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(aa) Employee entitlements (continued)

The fair value of options at grant date is independently determined using either binomial option pricing or Black-Scholes pricing models that take into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at the grant date, the expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options granted is adjusted, where necessary, to reflect market vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions about the number of rights and options that are expected to be exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of rights and options that are expected to vest or become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Where an equity-settled award is 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 modifications, 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.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

(ab) Contributed equity

Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company.

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction, net of tax, of the share proceeds received.

(ac) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the financial period but not distributed at balance date.

(ad) Earnings per share (EPS)

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

the profit attributable to equity holders 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 period and excluding treasury shares.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(ad) Earnings per share (EPS) (continued)

(ii) 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.

(ae) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Grange Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 42 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Grange Resources Limited. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

Financial guarantees

Where the parent entity has provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of subsidiaries for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.

(af) Rounding of amounts

The Company is 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 report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(ag) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2011 reporting periods. The Group’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 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2013]

AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. The Company intends to apply the standard from 1 January 2013.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(ag) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)

(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 and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (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.

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. 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.

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 does not expect to adopt the new standards before their operative date. They would therefore be first applied in the financial statements for the annual reporting period ending 31 December 2013.

(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 has yet to determine which, if any, of its current measurement techniques will have to change as a result of the new guidance. It is therefore not possible to state the impact, if any, of the new rules 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 does not intend to adopt the new standard before its operative date, which means that it would be first applied in the annual reporting period ending 31 December 2013.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(iv) AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (effective 1 July 2012)

In September 2011, the AASB made an amendment to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements which requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. This will not affect the measurement of any of the items recognised in the balance sheet or the profit or loss in the current period. The Group intends to adopt the new standard from 31 December 2013.

(v) 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 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.

(vi) AASB Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine and AASB 2011-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 20 (effective 1 January 2013)

Interpretation 20 sets out the accounting for overburden waste removal (stripping) costs in the production phase of a mine. It states that these costs can only be recognised as an asset if they can be attributed to an identifiable component of the ore body, the costs relating to the improved access to that component can be measured reliably and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the stripping activity (improved access to the ore body) will flow to the entity. The costs will be amortised over the life of the identified component of the ore body.

This is different to the Group’s current accounting policy which is to capitalise stripping costs based on a life of mine waste-to-ore stripping ratio and amortise the costs over the life of the mine. The interpretation must be applied retrospectively and the Group will have to write off existing stripping cost asset balances to retained earnings on the date of transition, unless they relate to an identifiable component of the ore body.

The Group has not yet undertaken a review of its existing stripping cost assets in light of the requirements of the interpretation and hence is unable to quantify the effect, if any, on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

NOTE 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group has previously used derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to manage certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risks to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by a Treasury Committee under a policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Treasury Committee identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks according to parameters outlined in the approved Treasury policy. The Treasury policy provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and nonderivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Borrowings Deferred consideration	31 December 2011 31 December 2010 $’000 $’000 172,269 91,922 68,064 49,572
	240,333 141,494
	49,424 35,602 44,887 46,994 65,351 59,269
	159,662 141,865

(a) Market Risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar.

Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions, given that the Group’s sales revenues are denominated in US dollars and the majority of its operating costs are denominated in Australian dollars, and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

At this time the Group does not manage its prospective foreign exchange risk with currency hedges.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(a) Market Risk (continued)

(i) Foreign exchange risk (continued)

The Group’s exposure to US dollar denominated foreign currency risk at the reporting date, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Borrowings Deferred consideration Net US dollar surplus / (deficit)	31 December 2011 31 December 2010 $’000 $’000 54,984 60,149 54,432 35,996 (874) (770) (25,620) (35,339) (65,352) (59,269)
	17,570 767

(ii) Group sensitivity

Based on the financial instruments held at 31 December 2011, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group's post tax profit for the financial period would have been $1.4 million higher / $1.1 million lower (December 2010 $0.1 million lower / $0.1 million higher), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of US dollar denominated borrowings and deferred consideration off-set by US dollar denominated cash and cash equivalents and receivables as detailed in the above table.

(iii) Price risk

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk. During prior years, the Group agreed with its customers to price its iron ore pellets at index based market prices. Interim pricing arrangements were agreed and remained in place with all customers until an iron ore index based market pricing mechanism was agreed in April 2011. At this time, the Group does not manage its iron ore price risk with financial instruments.

Going forward, the Group may consider using financial instruments to manage commodity price risk given exposures to market prices arising from recent changes to pricing mechanisms.

(iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings. Borrowings are issued at variable rates exposing the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk if the borrowings are carried at fair value.

As at the reporting date, the Group has the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:

	December 2011	December 2011	December	December	2010
	Weighted		Weighted
	average		average
	interest		interest
	rate	Balance	rate	Balance
	%	$’000	%		$’000
Borrowings	4.76	19,128	2.70		9,177

NOTE 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(a) Market Risk (continued)

(iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk (continued)

The Group’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. As they are fixed rate borrowings, they are not subject to interest rate risk as defined by AASB 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures .

The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. No financial instruments are used to manage interest rate risk.

Group sensitivity

The Group’s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. As they are fixed rate borrowing, they are not subject to interest rate risk and are excluded from the interest rate sensitivity analysis.

At 31 December 2011, if interest rates had increased by 50 basis points (bps) or decreased by 50 basis points from the period end rates with all other variables held constant, post tax profit for the period would have been $0.8 million higher / $0.8 million lower (December 2010 changes of 50 bps / 50 bps: $0.4 million higher / $0.4 million lower).

(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

The Group is exposed to a concentration of risk with sales of iron ore being made to a limited number of customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is limited to the carrying value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions.

The Group has no receivables past due as at 31 December 2011.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Financing arrangements

As at 31 December 2011, the Group has access to an undrawn floating rate working capital facility of $10 million with an expiration date of less than one year (2010: Nil). This undrawn amount of the facility may be drawn at any time subject to the Group satisfying various conditions.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The table below analyses the Groups financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period as at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

d) Fair Value Estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.

Derivative contracts classified as held for trading are fair valued by comparing the contracted rate to the current market rate for a contract with the same remaining period to maturity.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives and investments in unlisted subsidiaries) is determined using valuation techniques. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the reporting date.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

e) Capital Risk Management

When managing capital, the Group’s objective is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern so that the Group continues to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Management is constantly reviewing and adjusting, where necessary, the capital structure. This involves the use of corporate forecasting models which enable analysis of the Group’s financial position including cash flow forecasts to determine future capital management requirements. To ensure sufficient funding, a range of assumptions are modeled.

NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices and foreign exchange rates.

To the extent that capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

In addition, exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised if activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves. To the extent it is determined in the future that this capitalised expenditure should be written off, profits and net assets will be reduced in the period in which this determination is made.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

Net realisable value of inventories

The Group reviews the carrying value of its inventories at each reporting date to ensure that the cost does not exceed net realisable value. Estimates of net realisable value includes a number of assumptions, including commodity price expectations, foreign exchange rates and costs to complete inventories to a saleable product.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and mine properties and development

The Group performs an impairment assessment when there is an indication of a possible impairment. Impairment assessments are performed using information from internal Board approved budgets as well external sources, including industry analysts and analysis performed by external parties. In assessing the recoverable amount, the consolidated entity makes a number of impairment assumptions, including commodity price expectations, foreign exchange rates, reserves and resources and expectation regarding future operating performance which is subject to risk and uncertainty. Changes in circumstances may affect these estimates and the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount is assessed to be impaired, the impairment charge is recognised in the income statement. Conversely, where a prior period asset impairment has reversed the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lower of its recoverable amount and pre-impairment value, adjusted for any depreciation that would have been recognised on the asset had the initial impairment not occurred.

Determination of ore reserves and resources

Ore reserves and resources are based on information compiled by a Competent Person as defined in accordance with the Australasian Code of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves of December 2004 (the JORC code). There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating ore reserves and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may, ultimately, result in the reserves being restated. Such changes in reserves could impact on depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values and provisions for rehabilitation.

Taxation

The Group’s accounting policy for taxation requires management judgment in relation to the application of income tax legislation. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for tax, and if appropriate taxation investigation or audit issues, based on whether tax will be due and payable. Where the taxation outcome of such matters is different from the amount initially recorded, such difference will impact the current and deferred tax positions in the period in which the assessment is made.

The Group merged its multiple tax consolidated group’s on 6 January 2011 which has impacted the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the balance sheet at 31 December 2011. Management have used judgement in the application of income tax legislation on accounting for this tax consolidation. These judgements are based on management’s interpretation of the income tax legislation applicable at the time of the consolidation.

In addition, certain deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and carried forward taxation loses have been recognised. In recognising these deferred tax assets assumptions have been made regarding the Group’s ability to generate future taxable profits. Utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the tax consolidated entities to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped. If the entities fail to satisfy the tests, the carried forward losses that are currently recognised as deferred tax assets would have to be written off to income tax expense. There is an inherent risk and uncertainty in applying these judgments and a possibility that changes in legislation will impact upon the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the balance sheet.

GRANGE RESOURCES LIMITED ABN 80 009 132 405 31 DECEMBER 2011 FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTE 3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (continued)

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

Deferred consideration obligation

The Group has recognised a deferred consideration obligation in relation to a series of payments owing to the previous owners of Grange Resources (Tasmania) Pty Ltd as a result of a business combination in August 2007.

In determining the appropriate level of obligation consideration is given to the expected gross revenues of Grange Resources (Tasmania) Pty Ltd and the timing of these expected gross revenues. Estimates of gross revenue include a number of assumptions including commodity price expectation and foreign exchange rates. Changes to any of the estimates could result in a significant change to the level of the obligation required, which in turn will impact future financial results.

Provision for decommissioning and restoration costs

Decommissioning and restoration costs are a normal consequence of mining, and the majority of this expenditure is incurred at the end of a mine’s life. In determining an appropriate level of provision, consideration is given to the expected future costs to be incurred, the timing of these expected future costs (largely dependent on the life of the mine), and the estimated future level of inflation.

The ultimate cost of decommissioning and restoration is uncertain and costs can vary in response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques or experience at other mine sites. The expected timing of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in reserves or to production rates.

Changes to any of the estimates could result in significant changes to the level of provisioning required, which would in turn impact future financial results. These estimates are reviewed annually and adjusted where necessary to ensure that the most up to date data is used. Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value for options is determined by an external value using a binomial model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 40. The fair value for shares issued is determined by the volume weighted average trading price over a specified number of days.

Revenue recognition

Interim pricing

The Group agreed with its customers during the year ended 31 December 2011 an IODEX based index pricing mechanism for iron ore pellet sales. Accordingly, the group has recognised revenues of $52.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 for sales made under interim pricing arrangements with customers from 1 April 2010 to 31 December 2010.

Provisional pricing

The Group has recognised revenues amounting to $3.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 (6 months to 31 December 2010: $5.9m) from the sale of iron ore pellets which requires quantity and quality verification by the customer. The Group is confident that the quantity and quality of the iron ore pellets is such that it is appropriate to recognise the provisional pricing revenues during the year ended 31 December 2011.

NOTE 4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

(a) Description of segments

Management has determined and presented operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Managing Director, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker in terms of allocating resources and assessing performance.

The Group has one reportable segment, being the exploration, evaluation and development of mineral resources and iron ore mining operations. The Managing Director allocates resources and assesses performance, in terms of revenues earned; expenses incurred and assets employed, on a consolidated basis in a manner consistent with that of the measurement and presentation in the financial statements.

Exploration, evaluation and development projects (including the Southdown project) are not deemed reportable operating segments at this time as the financial performance of these operations is not separately included in the reports provided to the Managing Director. These projects may become segments in the future.

Revenues from the sales of iron ore are predominately made to two major customers, one based in China and the other in Australia. The following table presents revenues from sales of iron ore based on the geographical location of customers.

NOTE 7. REVERSAL OF ASSET IMPAIRMENT

Reversal of asset impairment - Mine properties and development	12 months to 31 December 2011 6 months to 31 December 2010 $’000 $’000 - 64,619

Australian Accounting Standard AASB 136, Impairment of Assets , requires prior period asset impairment losses to be reversed if there have been a positive change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the impairment loss was recognised. Where a positive change has occurred the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lower of its recoverable amount and pre-impairment value, adjusted for any depreciation that would have been recognised on the asset had the initial impairment loss not occurred.

The consolidated entity previously recognised an impairment loss of $66.6 million during the year ended 30 June 2009 in relation to mine, properties and development assets associated with its Tasmanian operations. During the six month period ended 31 December 2010 the consolidated entity has reversed $64.6 million of this prior period impairment loss, which represents the preimpairment value adjusted for depreciation that would have been recognised had the impairment loss not occurred.

The impairment assessment at 31 December 2010 was performed using an internal valuation using a real post tax discount rate of 9.33% and a fair value less costs to sell valuation method. In assessing the recoverable amount, the consolidated entity makes a number of impairment assumptions, including assumptions relating to commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and risk adjustments to future cash flows. Commodity price expectations, exchange rates, reserves and resources, and expectations regarding the future operating performance can change significantly over short periods of time, which can have a significant impact upon the carrying value of assets. The consolidated entity has considered information from industry analysts and analysis performed by external parties in relation to short-term and long-term assumptions.

	16,231 16,231

All unused taxation losses were incurred by Australian entities that are part of the tax consolidated group. The tax losses as disclosed above have not been recognised as their availability is subject to satisfying Australia’s loss integrity rules.

(d) Tax consolidation legislation

On 6 January 2011, the Group merged its multiple income tax consolidated groups into a single group with Grange Resources Limited as the head entity. The entities in the merged tax consolidated group have entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the Directors, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Grange Resources Limited.

The tax sharing agreement also requires all contributing members to fully compensate Grange Resources Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets related to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Grange Resources Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly owned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable / payable under the tax sharing agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entities, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of the financial period. The head entity may also require payment of an interim funding amount to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised as intercompany receivables or payables.

Options

Options granted to Directors and eligible employees under the Long Term Incentive Plan, are considered to be potential ordinary shares and are included in the determination of diluted earnings per share to the extent to which they are dilutive. As all the options currently on issue are out of the money, they are not considered dilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The options have not been included in the determination of basic earnings per share. Details relating to the options are set out in Note 40.

Rights

Rights issued to eligible employees under the Long Term Incentive Plan are considered to be potential ordinary shares for the purposes of determining diluted earnings per share. Rights have not been included in the determination of basic earnings per share.

	751 426

The types of share-based payments are described below.

(b) Types of share-based payments

(i) Options issued to Directors

In May 2008, the shareholders approved the issuing of 4.5 million options to the Managing Director and 450,000 options to each Non-executive Director (or their respective nominees) at that time. The issuing of these options was intended to act as an incentive for the Directors to align themselves with the Company’s strategic plan focussing on optimising performance with the benefits flowing through enhanced shareholder returns. The Board considered the grant of the Director options to be reasonable in the circumstances, given the necessity to attract the highest calibre of professionals to the Company and retain them, whilst maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not have a specific option plan in relation to the issue of options to Nonexecutive Directors and is considering this form of remuneration as part of the overall fees paid. The Company will also look at industry practice when determining whether options should form part of the non-executive Directors remuneration.

(iv) Options to Grange Shares

The objective of issuing Options under the LTI program is to provide a mechanism for the Company to selectively reward senior employees for having gone the “extra mile” in dealing with exceptional or unplanned or unexpected issues or circumstances which have impacted the business. The Board of Directors, based on the Managing Director’s recommendation, may discretionally grant the options via the LTI plan processes, and these options vest in over the timeframe stipulated in the LTI Plan from time to time. A maximum number of Options per individual issue has been specified and approved for each job grade in the grade structure matrix. The exercise price of options issued will be equal to a 20% premium on the weighted average price of the Company’s shares in the last three months before the financial period begins.
