Company Highlights

  • Some of the best ever copper and gold drill intersections at West Kalkaroo including 102 metres of 0.83% copper and 1.6 g/t gold in KKRC136 .

  • 28% upgrade in the total Kalkaroo copper-gold-molybdenum resource to 108 million tonnes when new West Kalkaroo resource is included.

  • Glencore International agrees to fund the Kalkaroo feasibility study, with the right to sole fund a mining development for a 14% project interest and metals offtake right.

  • Chinese partner funding mining feasibility study of the Mutooroo copper-cobalt project. Results for the feasibility drilling and metallurgical testing are positive.

  • Further drilling and sampling at Portia confirms the existence of hitherto unrecognised substantial bedrock gold mineralisation. Progressing towards a trial open pit at Portia in order to determine the feasibility of establishing a long term gold mining operation.

  • Good potential for repetitions of Portia style gold mineralisation identified at other prospects along strike (eg Lorenzo, Croziers Dam and Shylock) which are awaiting drilling.

  • A 1:10 entitlements issue well supported by shareholders, raises $9.44 million.

  • Curnamona Energy (Havilah 48.3%) considerably expands the area of sand hosted uranium mineralisation, leading to a decision to construct a field leach trial in advance of a full scale in situ leach operation.

  • Geothermal Resources (Havilah 63.6%) obtained high downhole temperatures in three 500 metre drillholes at its Frome project, confirming the original concept of buried radiogenic granites representing potentially large geothermal energy reservoirs.

Chairman’s Statement

25[th] October 2007

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

During the year we have made good progress towards advancing our three major projects. We have completed design work for the Portia gold deposit, begun the detailed feasibility study of the Kalkaroo copper-gold-molybdenum project and are well advanced into the feasibility study of the Mutooroo copper-cobalt deposit.

Work on two of the projects, Kalkaroo and Mutooroo, is fully funded by contributions from our joint venture partners, Glencore (earning a 14% interest) and Heilongjiang Resources (earning up to 50%). The work on these is focused on establishing the metallurgical treatment processes and fully defining the extent of the orebodies.

Our goal in 2008 is to bring the Portia deposit into production after excavating the trial pit early in the New Year. Engineering staff have been appointed to manage and operate the Portia project and the final permitting steps are underway. Metallurgically, the Portia gold deposit is simple and will require only a low cost gravity separation plant. The challenge is the soft overburden that has to be removed to uncover the gold orebody. Once Portia is in production, Havilah will be generating cash and will have made the transition from explorer to mining company. The nearby North Portia coppergold deposit, similar to Kalkaroo, will be then ready for development as well. Havilah’s pipeline of projects will ensure a bright future.

Diamond drilling results at both Kalkaroo and Mutooroo have confirmed earlier work and metallurgical testing is underway. The general location of the projects near the infrastructure of Broken Hill and the main continental railway will be of great advantage as we move forward. Meanwhile, exploration work is investigating several other opportunities in the region. We entered into a joint venture on the Prospect Hill tin and copper project in the northern Flinders Ranges where we have recently completed a drilling programme to expand the known resource. This is a most significant tin deposit in South Australia and will be a valuable addition to our commodity mix.

Havilah’s subsidiaries, Curnamona Energy Limited and Geothermal Resources Limited have both had successful years. The Oban uranium deposit continues to reveal good drilling results and is progressing towards a Field Leach Trial where the uranium recovery parameters will be established. Once these are determined a decision can be made about expanding this to a full-fledged in situ recovery uranium mine.

Geothermal Resources has drilled its 500 metre deep reconnaissance holes in the Frome Project (some 60 kms west of Kalkaroo). Comparatively high thermal gradients were measured, which are close to those seen in the Cooper Basin and almost twice the Earth’s normal gradient. A good correlation to the gravity mapping supports our initial ideas and we will move forward towards even deeper drilling to define the target locations for a pilot geothermal energy plant.

Havilah Resources remains structured to gain maximum benefit of its assets for shareholders. We aim to produce revenue next year from our mining. Once that happens we will expand and grow using our pre-eminent exploration portfolio and the increasing confidence in our mineralisation models in the Curnamona Craton.

The coming year will see many changes in Havilah as we transition into a mining company.

Yours sincerely

Review of O erations p

Havilah Resources NL (“Havilah”) holds exploration licences covering more than 7,000 square kilometres of the highly mineralised Curnamona Province in northeastern South Australia. During the year work concentrated on progressing feasibility studies on three advanced projects, where previous exploration work has identified significant mineral resources.

1. Kalkaroo Copper-Gold Project (Havilah 100% )

  • In late 2006 exploration drilling at West Kalkaroo produced some of the best copper and gold intersections ever obtained at Kalkaroo, including 102 metres of 0.83% copper and 1.6 g/t gold in KKRC136 and 81 metres of 0.48% copper and 1.6 g/t gold in KKRC127 . The drilling programme was partly supported by a PACE grant from the South Australian Government.

  • 25 RC drillholes completed over a two month period at West Kalkaroo established an indicated resource of 23 million tonnes of 0.58 g/t Au and 0.33% Cu for a net outlay of approximately $400,000.

  • A revised resource estimate for Kalkaroo incorporating the new West Kalkaroo drilling resulted in a 28% increase in the total resource, from 85 million tonnes (measured) to 108 million tonnes (measured and indicated) of combined copper, gold and molybdenum mineralisation.

  • Using a A$20 per tonne ore value cutoff, this resource translates to 85 million mineable tonnes at a grade of 0.51 g/t Au and 0.45% Cu within an optimised open pit model.

  • The total contained gold of 1.41 million ounces has climbed 36% in the current resource reflecting the important contribution of higher gold grades at West Kalkaroo. In gold terms, Kalkaroo contains the equivalent of over 6 million ounces.

  • Kalkaroo presents challenging metallurgy, owing to the mixture of gold, copper and molybdenum and variably oxidised ore. The feasibility study to determine the optimum processing route is therefore of crucial importance and quite expensive partly because of the size of the deposit.

  • In early July Havilah reached an agreement with Glencore International , a very successful major Swiss-based mining, processing and commodities trading company. Initially, Glencore has committed to fund a $14 million feasibility study, which, upon completion, will give it the right to arrange all project development funding in exchange for a 14% project interest and marketing rights for all metals. The joint venture is confined to the Kalkaroo mineral resource and its immediate extensions.

  • The feasibility study drilling has already commenced at Kalkaroo where Havilah’s immediate objectives are to carry out resource definition and resource extension drilling and to obtain sufficient drill-core to commence comprehensive metallurgical studies, with the view to designing an optimum metallurgical processing route. The resource extension drilling will aim to test the depth extensions of the Kalkaroo mineralisation beyond the 150–180 metre depth previously drilled by Havilah.

2. Portia Gold Project

  • Major breakthrough during the year with identification of primary gold mineralisation in bedrock from washing of samples in several drillholes as follows: PTAC 191 26 metres of 15.4 g/t Au PTAC 193 13 metres of 33.5 g/t Au PTAC 197 25 metres of 14.5 g/t Au PTAC 205 26 metres of 9 g/t Au

  • Three large diameter diamond drillholes sunk beneath the proposed trial open pit confirm a wide zone of economic grade gold mineralisation, namely PTDD206 56 metres of 4 g/t gold (uncut) PTDD207 35 metres of 4.7 g/t gold

  • Coarse-grained gold mineralisation is patchily developed along a major rock boundary, making establishment of a JORC resource by conventional drilling and assaying methods extremely difficult.

  • Havilah is currently in process of completing various tasks in support of its application for a Mining Lease over Portia that will allow it to commence a trial open pit. This includes preparation of a Mining and Rehabilitation Plan (“MARP”) in support of a mining lease application over the Portia area. In parallel, Havilah is negotiating with the Adnyamathanha native title claimants on the Portia mining lease application.

  • Potential bedrock material at Portia is of the order of 8 million tonnes (of as yet uncertain grade) lying immediately beneath the base of Tertiary mineralisation.

  • There is excellent scope for further Portia style discoveries in similar geological settings elsewhere on the Benagerie dome where there is known gold mineralisation from earlier drilling (eg at the Shylock, Lorenzo and Croziers Dam prospects).

3. Mutooroo Copper-Cobalt Project (Havilah 100%)

  • In October 2006 Havilah signed a memorandum of understanding with a Chinese partner to fund a $3 million feasibility study covering additional drilling, metallurgical testing and mining studies. Upon completion of the feasibility study, the Chinese partner may elect to fund 100% of the mine development until commercial scale production, for a maximum share in the mine output of 50%.

  • Since the beginning of the year, and commencement of feasibility study drilling, 50 RC drillholes for a total 7,921 metres have been completed. Almost all drillholes have intersected economically significant copper and cobalt mineralisation over true widths up to 20 metres.

  • Two particularly rich “fat ore zones” have been partially outlined by drilling, with intersections including: MTRC55 27 metres of 1.75% copper and 0.22% cobalt MTRC70 17 metres of 2.11% copper and 0.30% cobalt MTRC77 14 metres of 2.29% copper and 0.22% cobalt

HAVILAH RESOURCES NL Annual Report 2007

Review of Operations

These intersections represent extremely high value material in excess of $300 per tonne based on current copper and cobalt prices.

  • Large diameter diamond drillholes have been completed through the best ore zones to obtain metallurgical samples, with intersections as follows : MTDD112 13.3 metres of 2.58% copper and 0.26% cobalt MTDD113 27 metres of 2.26% copper and 0.25% cobalt

  • A comprehensive programme of metallurgical testing is currently in progress using core samples and initial results show that the massive sulphide ore can be upgraded by at least one third by separation of quartz and other silicate gangue material.

  • It is expected to complete the feasibility work in early 2008.

CURNAMONA ENERGY LIMITED (Havilah 48.2% ownership)

Curnamona Energy has confirmed economic grades of sand hosted uranium mineralisation over at least a 3 kilometre strike length at Oban. Some excellent uranium intercepts were achieved in this area during the year, including : CEY097 8.20 metres averaging 0.08% eU3O8 for a grade thickness product (GT) of 0.63 m% eU3O8 CEY098 5.30 metres averaging 0.085% eU3O8 for a grade thickness product (GT) of 0.45 m% eU3O8 (Note : these intercepts are calculated using a cutoff of 0.01 % eU3O8 and assuming equilibrium between radioactive components).

Curnamona Energy is presently progressing permitting for a field leach trial at Oban on a relatively well mineralised area covering some 100,000 square metres. The trial will determine the factors critical to successful in situ recovery processing at Oban, such as permeability of the sands, uranium leachability/recovery and the extent of uranium disequilibrium.

Assuming the field leach trial is successful, Curnamona Energy would then move to obtain a Mining Lease and the right to sell uranium. It would upgrade the field leach trial pilot plant to a full scale operation, with sales of yellowcake slurry initially to existing producers.

GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES LIMITED (Havilah 63.6% ownership)

Geothermal Resources completed four diamond drillholes to 500 metres depth on its Frome Project. Downhole logging in three holes returned temperatures comparable with those of Geodynamics in the Cooper Basin and provided direct support for the geological concept of buried hot radiogenic granite in the region. The geothermal energy reservoir represented by the 80 km x 20 km Vulcan granite is potentially huge. This provides good encouragement that suitably high temperatures (over 200 deg C) are likely to be present at around 4,000 metres and within economic drilling depths.

Temperature logging of a mineral exploration drillhole above a granite body in the centre of the Benagerie Dome yielded comparable temperatures, thus identifying a second potential granite geothermal energy reservoir in the region.

In the coming year it is planned to drill further shallow holes (to <500 metres depth) at the Frome project in order to pinpoint the areas of highest heat flow and thereby determine the optimum site for a deep test hole into the postulated granite geothermal reservoir at around 3 kilometres depth.

FUTURE STRATEGY

Havilah is currently focused on completion of the feasibility studies and mine permitting for its three advanced projects. The Kalkaroo and Mutooroo projects are potentially fully funded through to mining production by Havilah’s joint venture partners. The Portia project is expected to be a relatively straightforward, low capital operation because the majority of the gold will be won via a comparatively low cost, simple gravity circuit. Accordingly, it is Havilah’s intention to concentrate on advancing a trial open pit gold mining operation at Portia in order to determine the feasibility of establishing a long term gold mining operation, which it will own 100%. Modelling suggests a potential volume of mineralised bedrock material at Portia of the order of 8 million tonnes (of as yet uncertain grade) lying immediately beneath the base of Tertiary mineralisation.

Havilah still retains 100% of its highly prospective tenement holdings. This includes the immediate strike extensions of Portia elsewhere on the Benagerie dome where there is known gold mineralisation from earlier drilling (eg at the Shylock, Lorenzo and Croziers Dam prospects), the North Portia copper-gold deposit, which remains to be completely drilled and some 35 km strike of the Kalkaroo copper horizon.

FINANCE

At balance date, Havilah had available funds of approximately $10 million. This followed an over-subscribed 1:10 entitlements issue during the year, which raised $9.44 million. The issue was well supported by shareholders with about 64% taking up their entitlements and over half of them applying for shortfall shares as well. This was a remarkable achievement, considering that the issue was not underwritten and total costs of the issue were less than $50,000.

Cor orate Governance Statement p

This section summarises the corporate governance policies and procedures of Havilah Resources NL (“Havilah”). During the year the Board reviewed its corporate governance policies and practices. As a result some of the company’s corporate governance practices and procedures set out below were amended or adopted during the year.

The Board of Directors of Havilah aims to achieve the highest standards of corporate governance and has established corporate governance policies and procedures consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s publication “Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations”.

Havilah’s board composition, the small number of directors and the governance structure reflect the company’s position as a small capitalisation junior mineral explorer currently with no source of regular income. In Havilah’s case its mineral tenements and any mineral resources that it discovers are of greater value and risk than purely financial assets. As a result the Board believes that not all of the recommendations are appropriate to Havilah. Any departure from the recommendations is outlined in this section.

BOARD CHARTER

The Board of Directors monitors the progress and performance of Havilah on behalf of its shareholders, by whom it is elected and to whom it is accountable. The Board Charter, which is summarised below, seeks to ensure that the Board discharges its responsibilities in an effective and capable manner.

Board Responsibilities

The Board’s primary responsibility is to satisfy the expectations and be a custodian for the interests of its shareholders. In addition, the Board seeks to fulfil its broader ethical and statutory obligations, and ensure that Havilah operates in accordance with these standards. The Board is also responsible for identifying areas of risk and opportunity, and responding appropriately.

The responsibility for the administration and functioning of Havilah is delegated by the Board to a company owned by the executive Chairman, which has a management contract with the company, and a company owned by the Technical Director, which has a consulting contract with the company. By monitoring the performance of these contracts, the Board ensures that Havilah is appropriately administered and managed.

Through regular and frequent contact between the Board and management and by monitoring management’s activities, reports and performance, the Board ensures that management is aware of and responsive to the risks, opportunities and priorities recognised by the Board.

The Board guides the composition of a strategic planning process which adheres to the interests and expectations of Havilah’s shareholders, and develops policies that manage risks and opportunities, and monitors company progress, expenditure, significant business investments and transactions and key performance indicators.

Havilah’s Board retains the power to make all investment decisions.

Composition of the Board

It is a policy of Havilah that the Board comprises individuals with a range of knowledge, skills and experience that are appropriate to its activities and objectives. Havilah’s three current directors are professionally qualified and have pertinent skills in mineral exploration, mineral resource/reserve evaluation, mine planning and development, financial risk management and project financing, which are directly relevant to the company’s activities.

The number of directors must not be less than three. Currently, the Board is comprised of Dr Bob Johnson, the executive Chairman, who is engaged via a consulting contract with a company associated with him; Dr Chris Giles, the executive Technical Director, who is engaged via a consulting contract with a company associated with him; and Mr Ken Williams who is an independent non-executive Director. Information on the directors is contained on page 5 of this annual report. The Board considers that the current composition of the Board is ideal for a company of Havilah’s size, having regard to the mix of skills and expertise, and capacity for efficient decision making.

Directors can seek independent advice at the expense of the company, and have access to the Company Secretary at all times.

Independence

Havilah does not have a majority of independent directors and maintains that to add two further directors to achieve this will mean significant additional expense and make for less efficient decision making, which would be to the detriment of a very small mineral exploration company such as Havilah. The Chairman is not an independent director, and again to achieve this for a small company such as Havilah would make for an inefficient Board and management. It is the Board’s contention that all directors, whether independent or not, can and should act objectively at all times in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

Havilah’s policy is that any director must abstain from discussions and voting on any matters with which that director is associated and therefore potentially conflicted and this policy is strictly observed.

HAVILAH RESOURCES NL Annual Report 2007

Corporate Governance Statement

Nomination Committee

In view of the small size of Havilah’s Board, the Board in its entirety acts, effectively, as a Nominations Committee. As such, the Board believes that a Nomination Committee is unnecessary for Havilah.

Nomination, Appointment and Retirement of Directors

If a vacancy occurs or if it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services and skills of an additional director, the Board selects a panel of candidates with appropriate expertise and experience, and appoints the most suitable candidate. Any such appointee would be required under the constitution to retire at the next annual general meeting and is eligible for election by shareholders at that meeting.

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

Compensation Arrangements and Remuneration Committee

The remuneration of the Non-executive Director of Havilah is reviewed by the Board and approved by the other directors. The Technical Director and Chairman have consulting contracts with Havilah via their respective associated companies on industry standard commercial terms, which are approved by the non-associated directors.

The Board believes that the small size of the Board and the fact that remuneration matters are monitored by the Board in its entirety, having regard to industry standard norms makes a separate Remuneration Committee unnecessary and inappropriate.

The maximum aggregate annual remuneration which may be paid to non-executive Directors is currently $100,000. This cannot be increased without approval of Havilah’s shareholders.

Information on remuneration of Directors is contained on page 16 of this annual report.

D&O Insurance and Indemnity

The company maintains a Directors and Officers and Company Reimbursement Insurance Policy.

Performance Evaluation

The small size of the Board and the high risk nature of the company’s exploration activities make the establishment of a formal performance evaluation strategy unnecessary. Performance evaluation is a discretionary matter for consideration by the entire Board and in the normal course of events the Board will review performance of the management, Directors and the Board as a whole.

LOCAL INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES

Havilah has a policy that respects the culture and rights of all indigenous peoples with whom it comes into contact, and will consider assistance to any such communities that are deprived with community benefit programmes. This assistance will normally focus on health, education, training and employment of indigenous people who are directly affected by Havilah’s exploration and development projects.

ENVIRONMENT

Havilah has a policy of best practice management of the environmental impacts of exploration, development and mining, in accordance with the prevailing regulations.

BUSINESS RISKS

Havilah is involved in the high risk business of mineral exploration in which successful outcomes are the exception. Consequently the company’s major business risk is that its capital will be exhausted prior to making a successful discovery that can be converted into a profitable mine.

The Board aims to reduce this investment risk by extremely judicious selection of projects and careful drilling of only the best targets, and in this way Havilah is able to maximise the chances of success while minimising expenditure.

Proposed exploration programmes and budgets are normally submitted to the Board each six months for consideration and approval. At each meeting of the Board, the Technical Director presents a summary of exploration activities and estimated expenditures, which allows the Board to regularly monitor and assess the company’s performance against approved programmes and budgets.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The Board acknowledges the need for the highest standards of corporate governance practice and ethical conduct by all directors, consultants and contractors of Havilah. The Board strives to provide leadership in this regard so that a culture of honesty and integrity is engendered in the company. In this regard it is expected that all Havilah directors, consultants and contractors will preserve the highest standards of integrity, accountability and honesty in their dealings, operating in strict adherence to statutory and ethical obligations. Given that Havilah has few full time employees and only a handful of consultants and contractors employed at various times, mentoring and monitoring compliance is straightforward.

HAVILAH RESOURCES NL Annual Report 2007

Corporate Governance Statement

SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

As a result of the nature of Havilah’s exploration activities, directors, consultants and contractors of Havilah will sometimes be in possession of sensitive information that could be classified as “inside” knowledge. They may also be aware of potential transactions between Havilah and other companies.

Havilah has adopted a code of conduct that prohibits its directors, consultants and contractors from either buying or selling any shares in the company while they are in possession of any potentially market sensitive information prior to its public release to the ASX. This is designed to specifically prevent any insider trading by any director, consultant or contractor of Havilah.

Supervisory and Compliance Procedures

Havilah has procedures to ensure all directors, consultants and contractors of Havilah are familiar with these policies, that they are reviewed on a regular basis and updated as necessary.

The trading activity of each director, consultant and contractor is reviewed on a monthly basis by monitoring share movement reports.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Owing to its small size and limited number of directors, Havilah has not formed an audit committee. Havilah’s accounts are relatively simple and can be effectively monitored via trial balances, which are compiled monthly by the Company Secretary, who is a CPA. The Board has established internal controls, whereby all invoices must be approved by one or more non-associated directors before payment by the Company Secretary. Large sums of money cannot be paid or transferred without signature by two persons including the Company Secretary, the Chairman and/or the Technical Director.

The Board considers that ongoing monitoring of Havilah’s accounts by the half yearly external review and annual external audit (for the half yearly financial report and annual report respectively) and quarterly compilations for the Appendix 5B releases provides adequate safeguards, given the relative simplicity of Havilah’s accounts.

Each director makes a point of satisfying himself concerning the validity of the accounts before they are signed off. One of the directors, Mr Ken Williams is a financial expert.

EXTERNAL AUDITOR ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGS

The external auditor attends Annual General Meetings and is available to answer questions from shareholders on the auditor’s report and the conduct of the audit.

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE POLICY

Havilah is committed to continuous disclosure of material information as a means of promoting transparency and investor confidence. Havilah’s practices are designed to ensure Havilah is fully compliant with the ASX Listing Rules, including in particular those relating to continuous disclosure. Havilah’s record of timely disclosure of market sensitive information and lack of any evidence of pre-announcement “leaks” indicates its compliance in this regard.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY

Havilah places great importance on the communication of accurate and timely information to its shareholders and market participants and recognises that efficient and continuous contact with stakeholders is an essential part of earning their trust and loyalty. Shareholders are actively encouraged to communicate with the company. Interested persons can join an email list to be notified immediately of important announcements to the ASX.

Investment Briefings

Havilah holds investment briefings for shareholders, analysts and other interested parties at various locations and times when directors believe it is appropriate.

Website: www.havilah-resources.com.au

Havilah believes its website is its most effective communication medium with shareholders, and therefore expends some effort keeping information on its website up to date and relevant. ASX announcements, quarterly reports and presentations plus relevant diagrams and photographs are regularly posted on Havilah’s website.

Directors’ Report

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the consolidated entity is exploration for gold, basemetals and other mineral deposits.

DIVIDENDS

No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year, and the directors do not recommend the payment of dividends in respect of the financial year.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Havilah Resources has made substantial progress at its three advanced projects during the year, namely Kalkaroo, Portia and Mutooroo. Some of the best ever copper and gold intersections were obtained in exploration drilling at the West Kalkaroo prospect, leading to a 28% increase in the total mineral resource at Kalkaroo to 108 million tonnes. Glencore International agreed to fund a $14 million feasibility study at Kalkaroo and subject to the results, provide development financing in exchange for a 14% interest and metals offtake. At Mutooroo, where the feasibility study is being funded by a Chinese partner, resource drilling has produced excellent results. Metallurgical studies are currently in progress on diamond drill core, and initial results are encouraging. In a major breakthrough at Portia, significant gold mineralisation has been confirmed in the weathered bedrock. Havilah is currently in process of completing various tasks in support of its application for a Mining Lease over Portia that will allow it to commence a trial open pit. Havilah retains 100% of its highly prospective exploration acreage in the Curnamona Province, where it has considerable opportunity to add further resources and discover new mineral deposits in the future.

Havilah’s subsidiary companies have each made considerable achievements in their own right. Curnamona Energy has extended the sand-hosted uranium mineralisation at its Oban project to over 3 kilometres of strike. It is presently working on obtaining the permitting for a field leach trial that will determine the factors critical to successful in situ recovery processing at Oban.

Geothermal Resources has obtained high downhole temperatures, comparable to the Cooper Basin, in three 500 metre holes drilled by it during the year at its Frome project, thus validating its original geological model. The 80 km x 20 km interpreted radiogenic granite body at depth that is causing the high temperatures represents a potentially huge geothermal energy reservoir. A second granite-driven potential geothermal energy source was discovered in the Benagerie Dome by temperature logging of old deep mineral exploration holes.

A 1:10 entitlements issue during the year was well supported by shareholders and raised $9.44 million, leaving Havilah with over $10 million at the end of the year. Havilah’s major shareholdings in its subsidiary companies represent a substantial latent investment that is yet to be brought to account for the benefit of shareholders. See further details on pages 6-7 of this annual report.

CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

During the financial year there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There has been no matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the financial year, that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

ENVIRONMENTAL DEVELOPMENTS

The consolidated entity carries out exploration activities on its exploration tenements in South Australia.

The consolidated entity’s exploration operations are subject to environmental regulations under the various laws of South Australia and the Commonwealth. The consolidated entity adopts a best practice approach in satisfaction of the regulations.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity. Accordingly, this information has not been disclosed in this report.

REMUNERATION REPORT

The key management personnel of consolidated entity during the year were:

  • Keith Robert Johnson (Executive Chairman)

  • Christopher William Giles (Executive Technical Director)

  • Kenneth Graham Williams (Non-executive Director)

  • Mark Randell (General Manager, Curnamona Energy Limited)

Remuneration Policy

Due to its size, the consolidated entity does not have a remuneration committee. The compensation of executive and non executive directors is reviewed by the Board with the exclusion of the director concerned. The compensation of other key management personnel is determined by the Board. Compensation levels are determined by the Board on an individual basis at reasonable but competitive market rates. External advice on compensation matters is sought whenever it is deemed necessary.

All compensation paid to the key management personnel of the consolidated entity is valued in accordance with applicable accounting standards and expensed. Share options provided to key management personnel are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The board policy is to compensate key management personnel at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to key management personnel and reviews their compensation annually, based upon market practice, duties, and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Given the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations, compensation of key management personnel is not linked to the performance of the consolidated entity.

Performance Based Compensation

The consolidated entity currently has no performance based compensation component built into key management personnel compensation packages other than options to acquire shares in the companies within the consolidated entity (Note 28 to the financial statements provides further information about the Share Option Plans).

Compensation packages contain the following key elements:

a) Short-term employee benefits - consulting fees and salaries; b) Post employment benefits - superannuation; c) Share-based payments - share options.

Consulting fees paid to K R Johnson, C W Giles and K G Williams are paid to a nominated company in which the key management personnel has a controlling interest.

Share options do not represent a cash payment to key management personnel and share options granted may or may not be exercised by key management personnel.

Value of options – basis of calculation

  • (a) The total value of options granted, exercised and lapsed is calculated based on the following:

  • Fair value of options at grant date multiplied by the number of options granted during the financial year; plus

  • Fair value of options at time they are exercised (calculated as the difference between exercise price and the Australian Stock Exchange last sale price on the day that the options were exercised) multiplied by the number of options exercised during the financial year; plus

  • Fair value of options at time they lapsed multiplied by the number of options lapsed during the financial year.

  • (b) The total value of options included in compensation for the financial year is calculated in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 2 “Share-based Payment”. Options granted during the financial year are recognised in compensation over their vesting period.

Directors’ Report

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

The auditor’s independence declaration is included on page 66 of the annual report.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in Note 20 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons:

  • all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor, and

  • none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 “Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants” issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS

During the year the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the directors and officers of the Company against a liability incurred as such by a director or officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate, against a liability, incurred as such by an officer or auditor.

Signed on 25 October 2007 in accordance with a resolution of the directors made pursuant to Section 298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001.

On behalf of the directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law. The financial report includes separate financial statements of the company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“A-IFRS”). Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the Group comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 25 October 2007.

Basis of preparation

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars.

In the application of A-IFRS management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including special purposes entities) controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) (referred to as ‘the Group’ in these financial statements). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. In the separate financial statements of the Company, intra-group transactions (‘common control transactions’) are generally accounted for by reference to the existing (consolidated) book value of the items. Where the transaction value of common control transactions differ from their consolidated book value, the difference is recognised as a contribution by or distribution to equity participants by the transacting entities.

Minority interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

(b) Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in profit and loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and bank deposits.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest, are recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset in the year in which they are incurred where the following conditions are satisfied:

  • i) the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and

  • ii) at least one of the following conditions is also met:

  • the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale or

  • exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, costs of studies, exploration drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs only where they relate directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances (as defined in AASB 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources”) suggest that the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation assets (or the cash-generating unit(s) to which they have been allocated, being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Where a decision is made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment, reclassified to development properties, and then amortised over the life of the reserves associated with the area of interest once mining operations have commenced.

(e) Employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Liabilities recognised in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Contributions to accumulated benefit superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

(f) Government grants

Government grants are assistance by government in the form of transfers of resources to the Group in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the Group.

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grant will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is to assist with exploration activities are recognised as deferred income in the balance sheet and recognised as income on a systematic basis when the related exploration and evaluation is written off or amortised.

Other government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate on a systematic basis. Government grants receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised as income in the period in which it becomes receivable.

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(g) Financial assets

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: held-to-maturity investments, availablefor-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

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 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

Certain shares and share options held by the Group are classified as being available-for-sale and are stated at fair value less impairment. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the availablefor-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 year. Fair value has been determined based on quoted market prices.

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment loss is recognised directly in equity.

(h) Financial instruments issued by the company

Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of equity instruments are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided.

Interest and dividends

Interest and dividends are classified as expense or as distribution of profit consistent with the balance sheet classification of the related debt or equity instruments.

HAVILAH RESOURCES NL Annual Report 2007

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(i) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense or:

  • ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

(j) Impairment of assets (other than exploration and evaluation)

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

(k) Income tax

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by references to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the year. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior years is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the group and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity.

(k) Income tax (continued)

Tax Consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Havilah Resources is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the taxconsolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits of the members of the taxconsolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).

Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by the company and each member of the group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members of the tax-consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement. Further information about the tax funding arrangement is detailed in note 3 to the financial statements. Where the tax contribution amount recognised by each member of the taxconsolidated group for a particular period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and any deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of that period, the difference is recognised as a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.

(l) Joint ventures

Interests in jointly controlled assets and operations are reported in the financial statements by including the Group’s share of assets employed in the joint ventures, the share of liabilities incurred in relation to the joint ventures and the share of any expenses incurred in relation to the joint ventures in their respective classification categories.

(m) Leased assets

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefit from the leased asset are consumed.

(n) Payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

(o) Plant and equipment

Plant, machinery and equipment under finance lease are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of 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.

Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of deprecation:

  • Plant and equipment 3-5 years

  • • Plant and equipment under finance lease 4 years

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(p) Business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’, which are recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.

The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority’s proportion of the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised.

(q) Revenue recognition

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows:

  • installation fees are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the installation, determined as the proportion of the total time expected to install that has elapsed at reporting date

  • servicing fees included in the price of products sold are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total costs of providing the servicing for the product sold, taking into account historical trends in the number of services actually provided on past goods sold

  • revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses are incurred.

Interest revenue

Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

(r) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments granted after 7 November 2002 that vest on or after 1 January 2005, are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of nontransferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straightline basis over the vesting period, based on the group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

(s) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

In the current year, the entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

Various other Standards and Interpretations were on issue but were not yet effective at the date of authorisation of the financial report. The issue of these Standards and Interpretations do not affect the Group’s present policies and operations. The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will not materially effect the amounts recognised in the financial statements of the Company or the Group but may change the disclosure presently made in the financial statements of the Company or the group.

(f) Tax consolidation

Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group

The company and its wholly-owned Australia resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the taxconsolidated group is Havilah Resources NL. The members of the tax-consolidated group are identified at note 29.

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements

Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax-sharing arrangement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, Havilah Resources NL and each of the entities in the tax-consolidated group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Such amounts are reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax-consolidated group.

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations or if an entity should leave the tax-consolidated group. The effect of the tax sharing agreement is that each member’s liability for tax payable by the tax-consolidated group is limited to the amount payable to the head entity under the tax funding agreement.

Exploration expenditure written off relates to areas of interest where activities had significantly decreased and there was not sufficient confidence that capital expenditure would be recouped through the successful development and exploration of the particular area of interest.

On July 2006 Geothermal Resources Limited (a subsidiary of the Company) was awarded a Renewable Energy Development Initiative grant of $2.4 million, in support of its work (by a 50% matching contribution) on the Frome project in South Australia. As at the date of this report $322,287 has been received. The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

Changes to the then Corporations Law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation to share capital from 1 July 1998. Therefore, the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and issued shares do not have a par value.

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends.

Share options granted under the employee share option plan

Options have been issued to key management personnel and employees (refer Note 28 to the financial statements for details).

Other share options on issue

As a result of rights issue on 28 February 2007, the company issued 3,630,814 share options on the basis of one option for two new shares. Share options are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.60 at any time up to 30 April 2010. As at 30 June 2007 the number of share options outstanding is 3,598,468. The share options carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights.

  • (i) Share-based payments relate to share options granted during the year to key management personnel. Share options do not represent cash payments to key management personnel and share options granted may or may not be exercised by key management personnel.

Due to its size, the Group does not have a remuneration committee. The compensation of executive and non executive directors is reviewed by the Board with the exclusion of the director concerned. The compensation of other key management personnel is determined by the Board. Compensation levels are determined by the Board on an individual basis at reasonable but competitive market rates. External advice on compensation matters is sought whenever it is deemed necessary.

All compensation paid to the key management personnel of the group is valued in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards and expensed. Share options provided to key management personnel are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology.

The board policy is to compensate key management personnel at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to key management personnel and reviews their compensation annually, based on market practice, duties, and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. Given the nature of the group’s operations, compensation of key management personnel is not linked to the performance of the group.

The group currently has no performance based compensation component built into key management personnel compensation packages other than options to acquire shares in the companies within the group (Note 28 to the financial statements provides further information on the Share Option Plans).

Compensation packages contain the following key elements:

  • a) Short-term employee benefits - consulting fees and salaries;

  • b) Post employment benefits - superannuation;

  • c) Share-based payments - share options.

Consulting fees paid to K R Johnson, C W Giles and K G Williams are paid to a nominated company in which the key management personnel has a controlling interest.

Share options do not represent cash payment to key management personnel and share options granted may or may not be exercised by key management personnel.

Companies within the group have issued options to directors. Details of number issued to each director are set out in Note 19 to the financial statements. Details of the rules of the plan are set out below.

The Optionholder is entitled on payment of the exercise price to be allotted one ordinary fully paid share in the company that issued the option for each Option exercised (subject to possible adjustments referred to below).

The Options held by the Optionholder are exercisable in whole or in part at any time on or before midnight from five years from the grant date (exercise period). Options not exercised before the expiry of the exercise period will lapse.

Options are exercisable by notice in writing to the Board of the company that issued the option, delivered to the registered office of the company and payment of the exercise price in cleared funds.

The company will not apply for official quotation on Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) of the Options. The Company will make application for official quotation on ASX of new shares allotted on exercise of the Options. Those shares will participate equally in all respects with existing issued ordinary shares, and in particular new shares allotted on exercise of the Options will qualify for dividends declared after the date of their allotment.

Options are only transferable with Board approval of the company that issued the option except that if at any time before expiry of the exercise period the Optionholder dies, the legal personal representative of the deceased Optionholder may:

  • elect to be registered as the new holder of the Options;

  • whether or not he becomes so registered, exercise those Options in accordance with the terms and conditions on which they were granted; and

  • if the deceased has already exercised Options, pay the exercise price in respect of those Options.

An Optionholder may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of ordinary shares in the Company that issued the option if the Option has been exercised and shares allotted in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue. The Company must give prior notice to the Optionholder of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the Listing Rules.

If there is a bonus issue to the holders of ordinary shares in the capital of the company that issued the option, the number of ordinary shares over which the Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of ordinary shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

If the company that issued the option makes a rights issue (other than a bonus issue), the exercise price of Options on issue will be reduced according to the following formula:

A = O – E[P – (S + D)]

(N + 1)

Where:

  • A = the new exercise price of the Option;

  • O = the old exercise price of the Option;

  • E = the number of underlying ordinary shares into which one Option is exercisable;

  • P = the average closing sale price per ordinary share (weighted by reference to volume) recorded on the stockmarket of ASX during the 5 trading days immediately preceding the ex rights date or ex entitlements date (excluding special crossings and overnight sales and exchange traded option exercises);

  • S = the subscription price for a security under the pro rata issue;

  • D = the dividend due but not yet paid on existing underlying securities (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue); and

  • N = the number of securities with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one new security.

If, during the currency of the Options the issued capital of the company that issued the option is reorganised, those Options will be reorganised to the extent necessary to comply with ASX Listing Rules.

Employee Share Option Plans

The group has established the following employee share option plans (“Plan”)

  • The Havilah Resources NL Employee Share Option Plan

  • The Curnamona Energy Limited Employee Share Option Plan

  • The Geothermal Resources Limited Employee Share Option Plan

Notes to the Financial Statements

28 SHARE OPTION PLANS (continued)

Employee Share Option Plans (continued)

A summary of the Rules of each Plan is set out below:

  • All employees (full and part-time) will be eligible to participate in the Plan after a qualifying period of 12 months employment by a member of the Group, although the Board may waive this requirement.

  • The allocation of options to each employee is in the discretion of the Board.

  • If permitted by the Board, options may be issued to an employee’s nominee (for example, a spouse or family company).

  • Each option is to subscribe for one fully paid ordinary share in the company that issued the option and will expire 5 years from its date of issue. One fifth of the options granted will vest and can be exercised in any one year and options not exercised during a particular year will accumulate and may be exercised in subsequent years.

  • Options will be issued free. The exercise price of options will be determined by the Board, and will be equal to or higher than the market price of the company’s shares at the time the Board resolves to offer those options. The total number of shares the subject of options issued under the Plan, when aggregated with issues during the previous 5 years pursuant to the Plan and any other employee share plan, must not exceed 5% of the company’s issued share capital of the company that issued the option.

  • If, prior to the expiry date of options, a person ceases to be an employee of a Group company for any reason other than retirement at age 60 or more (or such earlier age as the Board permits), permanent disability, redundancy or death, the vested options held by that person (or that person’s nominee) must be exercised within 1 month thereafter otherwise they will automatically lapse. If a person dies, the options held by that person will be exercisable by that person’s legal personal representative.

  • Options cannot be transferred other than to the legal personal representative of a deceased optionholder.

  • The company that issued the option will not apply for official quotation on ASX of any options.

  • Shares issued as a result of the exercise of options will rank equally with the company’s previously issued shares.

  • Optionholders may only participate in new issues of securities by first exercising their options.

  • If there is a bonus share issue to the holders of shares, the number of shares over which an option is exercisable will be increased by the number of shares which the optionholder would have received if the option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

  • If there is a pro rata issue (other than a bonus share issue) to the holders of shares, the exercise price of an option will be reduced to take account of the effect of the pro rata issue as per the formula set out in the director’s share option plan.

  • If there is a reorganisation of the issued capital of the company, unexercised options will be reorganised in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

  • The Board may amend the Plan Rules subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.

  • To commence once the feasibility study has been completed.

(i) Mutooroo Joint Venture

On 20 October 2006 Havilah Resources and Mutoroo Metals Pty Ltd (“Mutoroo”) formed a joint venture with Heilongjiang Resources Limited (“HJR”), a Chinese minerals group, to carry out a feasibility study on the Mutooroo copper-cobalt deposit near Broken Hill and then develop the mine.

The feasibility study, which will be funded by HJR for an initial investment of $3 million (as at 31 July 2007 $2 million has be received) and thereafter HJR will progressively fund 100% of the mine development until production, for a maximum share in the joint venture of 50%.

Havilah and HJR will review the project at the completion of the feasibility study and within two months make a decision on developing the project. If both parties agree to proceed to development:

  • a) HJR will finance capital expenditure for the mine development and initial working capital as defined in the feasibility study.

  • b) HJR will reimburse Havilah previous project expenditure of $0.5 million.

  • c) Mutooroo will offer the mining permit as security for the project financing if required.

  • d) HJR will reimburse Havilah the balance of its previous project expenditure of $1 million after all development capital is invested.

If HJR elects not to participate or fails to provide full Project funding, the Company will reimburse HJR the funds that it has advanced for the feasibility study and project development from 10% of future profits from the mining operation at Mutooroo, until the total amount invested by HJR is fully repaid.

(ii) Kalkaroo Joint Venture

On 29 June 2007 Havilah Resources NL and Kalkaroo Copper Pty Ltd (“Kalkaroo”) signed an agreement with Glencore International AG (“Glencore”) whereby Glencore would fully fund $14 million of exploration expenditure (feasibility study) on the Kalkaroo Copper Project and arrange project financing for the subsequent mining joint venture thereby earning a 14% participating interest in the joint venture. As at 31 July 2007 $1 million has been received from Glencore and no amount had been spent.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Havilah Resources NL

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu A.B.N. 74 490 121 060

11 Waymouth Street Adelaide SA 5000 GPO Box 1969 Adelaide SA 5001

Tel: +61 (0) 8 8407 7000 Fax: +61 (0) 8 8407 7001 www.deloitte.com.au

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Havilah Resources NL, which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 July 2007, and the income statement, cash flow statement and statement of recognised income and expense for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 24 to 64.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 1 to the financial statements, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Havilah Resources NL is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a. giving a true and fair view of the company’s and consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 July 2007 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • b. complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.
