PARADIGM METALS LIMITED
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Dear Shareholder,
During the year we have maintained our policy of striving to build value in your Company by judicious exploration on existing mineral properties, pursuing new projects that fit within our portfolio, maintaining strict cost controls, and raising sufficient cash to fund ongoing exploration programs with well-defined goals.
In the period to 30 June 2011, Paradigm successfully advanced the Frogmore copper-silver project near Boorowa in NSW and made a potentially significant rare earth element (REE) discovery in joint venture with Exco Resources at the Toolebuc project southeast of Cloncurry Queensland. The Kangiara project remains, in our view, a very attractive gold-silver-base metal project well located in NSW, where we have established a relatively small, near surface, JORC compliant resource with a potentially economic silver-gold oxide cap. Your Company has also earned a 30% interest in the Yellow Mountain gold project located 70 km north of Condobolin in central NSW.
In addition to the current projects, Paradigm made an application for an EPM permit covering a 2 km trend of old copper workings at Lady Rose located in highly prospective ground between Cloncurry and Mt Isa. There are indications that the permit may be granted before the end of 2011. We are confident that we can quickly and cheaply generate a number of drill targets.
In the December 2010 quarter a total of $1.2 million was raised by way of a Placement and Rights Issue to shareholders.
The bulk of the expenditure in the year has been on drilling. At Frogmore 8 reverse circulation holes were completed for 1632 metres, and at Toolebuc 13 holes were drilled for 681 metres. The biggest program was at Yellow Mountain where 124 air core and RC holes achieved 5708 metres. The results of these programs are described in the Operations Report but in general each program is deemed by us to have been successful in that the programs encountered potentially significant gold, copper, or REE mineralisation. Follow up drilling is currently being planned at Toolebuc and Frogmore. At Yellow Mountain the results from the recent drilling, in combination with those from previous drill campaigns, indicate a very large area of low grade gold mineralisation which warrants an extensive follow up program. Having earned a 30% interest, Paradigm has an option to earn a 51% interest in the project.
Paradigm has maintained its 100% interest in several other projects. The White Rock tungsten – magnetite project, the Rosedale gold project and the Temora gold project are all now regarded as farm-out opportunities and discussions with a number of interested parties are in progress.
In summary, your Company has a 100% interest in two active exploration projects (Frogmore and Kangiara) and a significant interest in two others (Yellow Mountain [30%] and Toolebuc [50%]) and is continually evaluating new opportunities as they arise.
Despite the current, world-wide atmosphere of uncertainty, we continue to look to Paradigm’s future with optimism. We look forward to updating our progress to you during 2012.
Yours sincerely,

OPERATIONS REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Frogmore project
Highlights
The Company completed a reinterpretation of the controls of copper mineralisation at the Frogmore prospect, EL 6590, utilising regional fault mapping recently published by the Geological Survey of NSW. An eight-hole RC percussion drill program for 1632m was carried out in June 2011. Four holes targeted extensions of known copper-silver mineralisation ‘down-plunge’ of known copper mineralisation south of Frogmore.
Two of these holes intersected significant grade copper, proving the theory that copper mineralisation is plunging southward, striking north-northwest, sub-vertical to steeply east dipping, and is open down-plunge:
| Drill hole | Intercept m | Copper % | Silverg/t | Depth from m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRC027 incl FRC026 |
5m 3m 7m |
2.3% 3.5% 1.2% |
16 24 13 |
197 198 245 |
Two other holes were drilled to target shallow copper mineralisation inside the envelope of past drilling. These holes were also successful in that they intersected shallow copper, and have increased confidence in the continuity of the mineralisation:
| Drill hole | Intercept m | Copper % | Silverg/t | Depth from m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRC029 incl FRC030 |
32m 5m 2m |
0.5% 1.5% 1.3% |
6 19 14 |
79 106 69 |
A longitudinal section showing true widths of all significant drill intercepts is presented (see Figure 1 ). This highlights the potential for a multi-million tonne copper-silver deposit, assuming that mineralisation continues down-plunge of the current envelope.
Three of the recent holes (FRC028, 032 and 033) were not drilled deep enough to intersect the copper lode position. A further hole (FRC031) was drilled into a separate geophysical target to the north, and intersected only minor copper.
Planned work
The Company is planning a follow-up drill program to test mineralisation down-plunge of the known mineralisation at around the 200m RL level – see Figure 1 .
About Frogmore:
Copper was mined and smelted at Frogmore in the late 19[th] century, although the copper lode discovered by Paradigm was not mined to any significant extent. Copper-silver mineralisation is associated with a simple sulphide assemblage consisting of chalcopyrite accompanied with pyrrhotite and pyrite, occurring as veins and fracture fillings. Locally, very high concentrations of chalcopyrite can occur; e.g. Up to 6% Cu over 1m.
Frogmore is located 25km northeast of the township of Boorowa, about 100km south of Newcrest’s Cadia Valley and 250km west of Sydney in NSW. EL 6590 covers 300km[2] , and is 100% owned by PDM.

Yellow Mountain project (PDM 30%, option to earn 51%)
Paradigm completed 5,708m of drilling (aircore and RC percussion) at the Yellow Mountain project (ELs 6325 and 7697) during the 12 month period. A total of 124 holes were drilled at five separate gold prospects.
Quarry Hill prospect
Most of the drilling (about 80%) was focused at the Quarry Hill prospect, targeting a large (approx. 1km[2 ] ) gold geochemical anomaly. In total, 90 drill holes were completed at the prospect for 4300m, including 1700m of RC percussion drilling (16 holes) on an 80m x 80m grid.
Host rocks at Quarry Hill are metasedimentary rocks and schist, weathered to about 70m depth. Gold mineralisation at Quarry Hill is associated with low angle faults that are broadly parallel to the dominant foliation. A geological cross section showing the style of mineralisation at Quarry Hill is presented (see Figure 2 ).

Quarry Hill South prospect
Eight shallow aircore/RC holes were drilled at Quarry Hill South for an advance of 308m. Mafic volcanics, believed to be Ordovician in age, are the dominant lithology. This is significant because Ordovician volcanic rocks and their subvolcanic equivalents are host to the world-class gold-copper porphyry deposits in NSW, in particular at Cadia and Northparkes.
Some of the better intersections at Quarry Hill South were:

PARADIGM METALS LIMITED
OPERATIONS REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Gold mineralisation is associated with anomalous arsenic (after arsenopyrite) and copper (after chalcopyrite). The base of oxidation in these holes is 15-20m vertical depth. The deepest hole was drilled to only 50m depth.
Other prospects
Six holes were drilled at the Sheep Yard prospect within EL 7697, for an advance of 297m. Gold mineralisation occurs in oxidised, clay-altered metasediments. The best intercept was 50m @ 0.44g/t Au from 3m in PMV005.
Future exploration
The extensive low-level gold found in our drilling, we believe, is an indication of something more substantial nearby. The challenge remains to locate the higher grade, economic mineralisation. Paradigm believes there is still considerable potential for porphyry or disseminated gold style deposits at Yellow Mountain, possibly emplaced in a distal location (several km?) from the deep source porphyries.
To assist with future drill targeting, the Company is planning an induced polarisation (IP) geophysical survey following the 2011 crop harvest. We believe that this program could highlight significant deep sulphide accumulations, and could also aid in the targeting of shallow oxide deposits. Priority geophysical anomalies would then be drilled.
Preliminary gold leach tests of oxide material from the Quarry Hill prospect indicate a simple, high recovery, gold recovery process. Cyanide leaching at a conventional gold P80 grind size of 75μm resulted in a head grade of 1.26g/t Au with 91% gold recovery in a short time frame, with low reagent consumption.
About Yellow Mountain:
The Yellow Mountain project consists of two tenements, EL 6325 (PDM 30%) and EL 7697 (PDM 100%). Paradigm has met sufficient expenditure to allow it to proceed to a 30% legal interest in EL 6325. It has an option to earn a 51% majority interest by continuing to sole fund exploration by expending a further $450,000 by 31 March 2013. The project is located 70km north of town of Condobolin, about 100km west of the Rio Tinto’s Northparkes mine in central NSW. These tenements cover 200 km[2] .
Kangiara project (PDM 100%)
Silver – gold oxide potential
The Company is evaluating the potential for an economic silver + gold oxide deposit at Kangiara, following the discovery of surface base metals mineralisation up to 400m along strike of past drilling.
Oxide silver and gold mineralisation was defined by drilling over a strike length of 250m in a north-south direction. We believe there is potential to extend this mineralisation significantly, based on recent soil geochemistry which has highlighted a Pb-Zn-Cu soil anomaly that extends for about 700m in total strike length. We believe it is possible to target a near surface, open pitable silver-gold oxide deposit with further drilling.
Positive initial metallurgical tests of the oxide indicate high recoveries of silver (92%) and gold (81%) over a short cyanide leach period. Other positives include minimal overburden (a low strip ratio of waste to ore).
To highlight this potential, some of the better silver-gold oxide intersections in past drilling were:

About Kangiara:
The Kangiara project contains a JORC Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.75 million tonnes @ 1.3% zinc, 1.0% lead, 0.18% copper, 0.5 g/t gold, and 24 g/t silver over a strike length of 360m. A nominal open pit design encompassing an Indicated and Inferred Resource of 1.65 million tonnes @ 1.4% Zn, 1.2%Pb, 0.4 g/t gold, 0.12% copper and 24 g/t silver to a maximum depth of 90 m was calculated by an independent mining consultant with a waste to ore strip ratio of 1.5 to 1. Sulphide mineralisation is open down plunge.
Toolebuc Joint Venture, Cloncurry Queensland (PDM 50%)
Significant Rare Earth Intersection
The Toolebuc joint venture (Paradigm 50%: Exco Resources 50%) completed a reconnaissance air core drill program on EPM 16073 near Cloncurry in late November 2010. Thirteen holes were completed for 681m advance, on roughly 1km drill hole spacings. One of these holes, LEV002, intersected REE mineralisation in carbonate-rich intrusive rocks beneath 35m of younger sedimentary cover. The REE intercept was 4m @ 2590ppm (2.59 kg/t) combined REE from 37-41m. REE mineralisation is mostly a combination of lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), yttrium (Y), the latter two being high-value and sought after elements today especially for uses in the high technology industry.
Drill hole LEV002 was also anomalous in zinc. The 4m interval from 37-41m graded 0.32% Zn.
Planned exploration
Drill hole LEV002 was a reconnaissance air core hole in a previously undrilled area, and we believe the area has potential for more significant REE mineralisation.
Further air core / shallow RC drilling is planned for later in 2011.
About Toolebuc:
The Toolebuc project (EPM 16073) is a 50:50 joint venture between Paradigm Metals Ltd and Exco Resources Ltd, an ASX-listed Cloncurry copper –gold explorer. The project is located 40km east-southeast of Cloncurry, northwest Queensland. Paradigm is the manager of the joint venture, which is funded 50:50 by both parties. The permitted joint venture area covers 16 km[2] .

Lady Rose, Cloncurry Queensland (PDM 100%)
A new exploration permit application, EPMA 19016, covering more than twenty small 19[th] century copper mines along a 2km trend between Cloncurry and Mt Isa, has been successfully pegged in a competitive tendering process (see Figure 3 ). Paradigm has been advised that it is the priority applicant.
The Lady Rose project is well located in a very prospective belt, being 17km south of the Mary Kathleen mine, and approximately 40km southwest of Cudeco’s Rocklands copper project between Mount Isa and Cloncurry.
It is expected the permit will be granted late in 2011.
Known copper mineralisation occurs on the permit along a northeast-southwest trending continuous structure, associated with both magnetite and hematite (iron oxides) of probable iron oxide copper gold style (IOCG).
Planned exploration
Once granted, a program of mapping and sampling will be followed by drill testing. Our research of past exploration has indicated only two shallow holes (<70m depth) were drilled, with both holes intersecting lowgrade copper. These holes did not in any way represent an adequate test of the potential of the property.

Blue Bush project (PDM 75%)
The Bush project (EPM 15324) is located 140km north of Cloncurry, Queensland. The target at Blue Bush is an IOCG style copper-gold deposit. Drilling during 2009 intersected a 30m to 80m thick lens of magnetite-rich iron stone containing minor copper mineralisation, beneath 120m of soft sedimentary cover.
Northwest Discovery Ltd (NWD) earned a 25% interest in the project by funding the drill program in 2009. NWD have not yet committed to continue to fund the project to a 50% equity interest, which is their option.
Paradigm is currently evaluating the potential for more significant copper mineralisation at Blue Bush. A decision will be taken shortly to continue with the project, or consider other options.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Four Mile Tank project (PDM 100%)
The Four Mile Tank permit application (EPM 18294) is located 120km north of Cloncurry. The permit, which is still under application after nearly 18 months, is believed to be prospective for copper-gold mineralisation beneath Mesozoic cover.
The Company has recently signed an access agreement with the Native Title parties. At this time, we are uncertain when the permit will be granted and as such the permit remains a low priority.
Farm out projects
White Rock (PDM 100%)
Paradigm is continuing the discussions with parties interested in farming-in to White Rock tungsten - magnetite project in southern NSW.
About White Rock:
The White Rock tungsten project contains a JORC Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 260,000 tonnes @ 0.7% tungsten trioxide WO3. The Resource can be subdivided into two separate ore types: A high-grade magnetite tungsten Resource of 123,000 tonnes @ 1.15% WO3, and a lower grade Resource of 138,000 tonnes @ 0.3% WO3. The Mineral Resource covers a strike length of 240m. The maximum depth of the Resource is 50m, with approximately 65% of the resource within 30m of surface.
Rosedale (PDM 100%)
The Rosedale project (EL 7343) is located 18km southeast of the McPhillamys gold resource in central NSW, along a probable extension of the same northwest-trending fault, 30km south of Bathurst NSW. In 2010 Paradigm completed 3 percussion drill holes for 516 m advance at Rosedale, following up on previous drill results including 13m at 0.8g/t Au + 20g/t Ag from 100m depth, and 26m at 0.3g/t gold from 12m depth.
The Company is offering this project for farm out. Further drilling is warranted at Rosedale South which is virtually untested with drilling.
Temora (PDM 100%)
The Temora gold project (EL 7443, 100% Paradigm) is centred on the old gold mining camp known as ‘Sebastopol’, 15km south of the old mining centre of Temora, close to the regional gold structure known as the Gilmore Suture. This major NNW fault zone controls other gold deposits including Barrick’s Cowal mine (3 million oz gold), and the Gidginbung gold mine (0.7 million oz gold) now closed.
The Temora project (EL 7443, 100% PDM) is prospective for high grade gold vein systems. Rock chip sampling was carried out at the Temora project during the quarter, following up on mine dump samples collected by Paradigm at the Barron prospect which returned gold assays up to 23g/t Au.
Quartz float collected during the year, near Barron East workings recorded an assay of 6.2g/t Au. A soil grid was extended around the Barron area, with gold assays in soils up to 0.3g/t Au.
Paradigm has decided to offer the Temora project out for farm-out.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
About the Temora project
Gold was first discovered in 1869 in the Sebastopol area 15km south of Temora, at sites which became known as the Morning Star and Evening Star mines. All gold won was obtained from quartz reefs. There were two major production periods from 1869 to 1880 (hard rock mining), and 1897 to 1898 (tailings processing). It is estimated that 30,000 oz of gold was produced, predominantly from the Morning Star. Approximately 150,000 oz of gold was won from mostly alluvial fields at Temora itself.

PARADIGM METALS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These Financial Statements cover Paradigm Metals Limited and its controlled entities. Paradigm Metals Limited is a listed public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Scope of financial statements
These Financial Statements are general purpose Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . The Financial Statements of Paradigm Metals Limited and controlled entities comply with all Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) in their entirety. Compliance with AIFRS's ensures that the Financial Statements conform with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's).
Reporting Period
The Financial Statements are presented for the year ended 30 June 2011.
Authorisation of Financial Statements
The Financial Statements were authorised for issue on 28 September 2011 by the Directors.
Basis of Preparation
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The Financial Statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
a)Principles of Consolidation
A controlled entity is one which Paradigm Metals Limited has the power to control the financial and operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 14 to the financial statements. All controlled entities have a 30 June financial year end.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Paradigm Metals Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2011 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. Paradigm Metals Limited and its controlled entities together are referred to in these Financial Statements as the consolidated entity. The effects of all transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.
Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year its results are included for that part of the year during which control existed.

PARADIGM METALS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
b)Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred and no longer controlled by the entity. A financial liability is removed from the Statement of Financial Position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Upon initial recognition a financial asset or financial liability is designated as at fair value through profit or loss except for investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured.
A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability classified as at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets not measured at fair value comprise loans and receivables. These are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Available-for-sale financial assets include other financial assets, comprising investments in subsidiaries, not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.
Financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables, provisions and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trade accounts payable represent the principal amounts outstanding at reporting date plus, where applicable, any accrued interest.
The amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus cumulative amortisation of any difference between the initial amount and maturity amount and minus any write-down for impairment or uncollectibility.
c) Revenue Recognition
(i) Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably and when the other contractual obligations of the entity are performed.
(ii) Interest revenue
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. It includes amortisation of any discount or premium.
(iii) Revenue from government grants
Government grants are recognised only when there is reasonable assurance that (a) the entity will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and (b) the grant will be received. The grant is recognised as income over the period necessary to match them with the related costs, for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.
22
PARADIGM METALS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
d)Leases
Lease of assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the Consolidated Entity were classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Leased assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Consolidated Entity will obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which benefits are diminished.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as liabilities. The incentives are recognised as a reduction of expenses on a straight line basis unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which benefits are diminished.
e)Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method whereby:
-
the tax consequences of recovering (settling) all assets (liabilities) are reflected in the financial statements;
-
current and deferred tax is recognised as income or expense except to the extent that the tax relates to equity items or to a business combination;
-
a deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to realise the asset; and
-
deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability settled.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect in accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or liability settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by law.
Tax consolidation legislation
Paradigm Metals Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The tax consolidated group does not have a tax sharing or funding agreement in place.

PARADIGM METALS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
f) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates in. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Consolidated Entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non Monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
g)Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise:
(i) cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts;
(ii) investments in money market instruments; and (iii) cash in transit.
h)Receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables represent the principal amounts due at reporting date plus accrued interest and less, where applicable, any unearned income and provision for doubtful accounts. An estimated doubtful debt is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.
i)Financial Assets – Investments in Controlled Entities
Investments in controlled entities are measured on a cost basis. The carrying amounts of investments are reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure they are not in excess of recoverable amounts of these assets.
j)Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are included at cost. Assets in plant and equipment (except for capitalised leased assets) are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are as follows:
Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Office Equipment 5% - 50% Leasehold Improvements 5%
On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised as a gain or loss.
24
PARADIGM METALS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
k)Impairment Of Assets
At each reporting date, the Director's review the carrying values of the Consolidated Entity's tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate.
l)Contingent Liabilities
A contingent loss is recognised as an expense and a liability if it is probable that future events will confirm that, after taking into account any related probable recovery, an asset has been impaired or a liability incurred and, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the resulting loss can be made.
m)Short Term Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits and equity compensation benefits) which fall due wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which employee services are rendered. They comprise wages, salaries, social security obligations, short-term compensation absences, profit sharing and bonuses payables within 12 months and non-mandatory benefits such as medical care, housing, car and service goods.
The provision for employee entitlements to wages, salaries and annual leave represents the amount that the Consolidated Entity has a present obligation to pay resulting from employee services provided up to reporting date. The provision has been calculated after taking into consideration estimated future increases in wages and salaries and past experience regarding staff departures and includes related on-costs.
The undiscounted amount of short-term benefits expected to be paid is recognised as an expense.
n)Long Term Employee Benefits
Long term employee benefits include long-service leave payable 12 months or more after the end of the period in which employee service are rendered.
o)Events after the Reporting Date
Assets and liabilities are adjusted for events incurred after the reporting date that provide evidence of conditions existing at the reporting date. Important after reporting date events which do not meet these criteria are disclosed in Note 23 to the financial statements.
p)Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
q)Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. An area of interest refers to an individual geological area where the presence of a mineral deposit is considered favourable or has been proved to exist, and in most cases will be an individual tenement. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is recognised in relation to an area of interest when the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and either: (a) such expenditure is expected to be recovered through successful development and commercial exploitation of the areas of interest; or
(b) the exploration activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits reasonable assessment of the existence 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, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when the facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
r) Restoration Provision
Where applicable, a provision for material rehabilitation and restoration obligations is recognised. The amount recognised includes the cost of reclamation and site rehabilitation after taking into account restoration works that are carried out during exploration. Costs are determined from estimates of future costs. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expected future cash flows required to settle the obligation. In each subsequent reporting period, the amount of the provision may be adjusted by any change in the estimated future rehabilitation and restoration costs of existing and new workings, and any discount associated with the change in the life of the project and the discount rate.
s) Comparative Figures
Where required by accounting standards, the reclassification of comparatives has been performed in order to conform to the changes in presentation for the current financial year.
t) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the operating profit or loss after income tax attributable to the members of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account any reduction in earnings per share that will arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial period.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
v) Share Based Payments
Equity settled share based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at grant date. Fair value is measured by the Black Scholes model.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share based payment is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of the shares that will eventually vest.
Where the share based payment is for a capital item, the fair value expense is recorded in the Statement of Financial Position and treated accordingly.
w) Significant Judgement and Key Assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. The Directors continually evaluate their judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. The Directors base their judgements, estimates and key assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, the directors believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, 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.
Provision for make good
A provision for material restoration obligations is recognised in relation to exploration licenses. The amount recognised includes reclamation and site rehabilitation after taking into account restoration works that are carried out during exploration, development and production.
Impairment of capitalised exploration expenditure
At each reporting date the Directors evaluate the right to carry forward exploration expenditure on the statement of financial position. Consideration is given to whether the tenement is in good standing, and plans for future exploration activities. Where exploration and evaluation activity has not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of commercially viable reserves the expenditure is carried forward on the statement of financial position to future periods until such assessment can be made.
Long service leave provision
The long service leave provision is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.
x) Interests in Joint Ventures
The consolidated entity’s share of the assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint venture operations are included in the appropriate items of the consolidated financial statements. Details of the consolidated entity’s interests are shown at Note 15.
The consolidated entity’s interest in joint venture entities are brought to account using the proportionate consolidation method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements.

As at 30 June 2011, the Consolidated Entity had estimated unrecouped operating income tax losses of $10,037,057 (2010: $9,871,930). The benefit of these losses of $3,011,117 (2010: 2,961,579) has not been brought to account as realisation is not probable.
The benefit will only be obtained if:
(i) The Consolidated Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefits from the deductions for the losses to be realized.
(ii) The Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law;
(iii) No changes in tax legislation aversely affect the Consolidated Entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
As at 30 June 2011 there were no franking credits available for subsequent financial years.

Provision for tenement restoration:
The restoration provision represents the present value of the Director's best estimate of the future sacrifice of economic benefit that will be required for meeting environmental obligations for existing tenements after exploration activities have been completed. The provision is reviewed annually by the Directors.
Provision for employee benefits:
A provision has been recognised for employee entitlements relating to annual leave due within 1 year.
A provision has been recognised for employee benefits relating to long service leave. The calculation of the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave is based on historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been included in Note 1 to this report. There is uncertainty around the exact timing of the cash outflows in relation to the above amounts.

NOTE 16: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Capital Management
The Consolidated Entity's capital structure consists of deposits with banks, tenement deposits, accounts receivable and payables and loans to and from controlled entities.
Management controls the capital of the consolidated entity in order to ensure that the consolidated entity can fund its exploratory operations and continue as a going concern.
Due to the early stage nature of the consolidated entity’s business, the consolidated entity’s capital is limited to ordinary share capital.
There are no externally imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the consolidated entity’s capital by assessing the consolidated entity’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks.
There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the consolidated entity since the prior year. The Consolidated Entity does not have any borrowings.
Financial Instruments
As at 30[th] June 2011, the consolidated entity held the following financial instruments:

NOTE 16: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Risk Exposures
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate risk is shown below:
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for floating rate financial instruments:
The following table details the effects on net profit and equity if the interest rate was to increase by 5% and decrease by 5%. This assumes that all other variables remain constant.
| Consolidated | Entity | |
|---|---|---|
| Profit/(Loss)/Equity | ||
| 2011 | 2010 | |
| $ | $ | |
| Increased by 5% | 48,828 | 38,274 |
| Decreased by 5% | (48,828) | (38,274) |
Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount net of any provision for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements. The Consolidated Entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to a single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities as and when they fall due.
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flows and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquid resources to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due.
The consolidated entity's financial liabilities as at 30th June 2011 consist of trade payables and amounts due to the joint venture partner only. No contractual interest-bearing liabilities were held within the consolidated entity.
The cash flows associated with trade and other payables equals the carrying value and will be fully paid with 6 months of the reporting date.
Fair values of financial instruments
It is noted that the carrying value of all financial instruments at the Statement of Financial Position date are equal to their fair value.

NOTE 18: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Description of Segments
Paradigm Metals Limited has applied AASB 8 “Operating Segments” from 1 July 2009. AASB 8 requires a ‘management approach’ under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This has resulted in a change of reportable segments presented. The information reported for each segment has also changed and comparative amounts are now reported on a consistent basis with the current period.
Operating segments are now reported in a manner that is more consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Directors, and Managing Director that collectively make strategic decisions.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting 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 controls. 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.

PARADIGM METALS LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
The following sets out how the Company is currently implementing the ASX “Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations” dated August 2007 ("the Principles"). A copy of this Statement is available on the Company's website: www.paradigmmetals.com.au .
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
The Board has formally retained all functions except those delegated from time to time to the Managing Director. Currently, the following functions are so delegated;
-
1 Management of the Company’s exploration program consistent with the plans and budgets approved by the Board.
-
2 Management of the Company’s financial records.
-
3 Compliance with all ASIC and ASX reporting requirements, subject to prior Board approval.
-
4 Representation and promotion of the Company to the investment markets.
-
5 Engagement (subject to prior Board approval) of employees and supervision of employees and contractors.
-
6 Management of the Company’s occupational health and safety and environmental protection obligations.
-
7 Identification, development and presentation of business development opportunities consistent with the Company’s commitments to its stakeholders.
Apart from the foregoing there is no published Board Charter. A letter of appointment has been entered into between each Director and the Company. The Managing Director's performance is evaluated each year by the Board essentially against the exploration results and budget outcomes for the past year. The Managing Director's performance was evaluated on this basis during the year.
Given the size of the Company, there is no induction procedure for senior executives.
Principle 2: Structure the board to add value
It is recommended by the Principles that the majority of the Board should be independent Directors. Two Directors (Messrs Gaskell and Lonergan) are considered to be independent Directors. The Managing Director fulfils the role of Chief Executive Officer. The skills and experience of each Director and his period in office are set out in the Directors' Report.
The letter of appointment for each Director confers the right to seek independent legal advice at the Company’s expense, subject to prior agreement of the other Directors which will not be unreasonably refused.
The independent Directors meet from time to time to discuss issues relating the Company without management being present. There is currently no formal Chairman, however either of the independent Directors acts as Chairman as required.
The Board has not established a Nominations Committee as it considers that there is no current need for such Committee. Consequently, there are no procedures for the selection and appointment of new directors. Should a Board vacancy arise, the Board as a whole will meet to decide on an appointee.
The Board has free and unfettered access to the executives in the Company and to the Company Secretary. The term of office held by each Director as at the date of this report is as follows:
| Date of appointment | Retire by rotation | |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Carman | 18 November 2002 | Not required to retire |
| Mr Gaskell | 07 November 2002 | 2011 AGM |
| Mr Lonergan | 07 November 2002 | 2012 AGM |
The period for which each of these Directors has held office is disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report. The Board as a whole has considered its performance during the year and has (relevant Directors excepted) reviewed the performance of individual Directors, with particular regard to meeting attendance, contributions and participation in strategy and development.
49
PARADIGM METALS LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
The Company Secretary monitors Board policy and provides assurance that statutory procedures are followed. The Company Secretary coordinates timely completion and dispatch of board agenda and papers. The Company Secretary is appointed and removed by the Board.
New employees are inducted into the Company Codes of Conduct and procedures on commencement of employment. The Company follows a procedure to ensure regular education of employees occurs in their sphere of expertise, monitored by the CEO. This may include regular attendance to conferences, education classes, mine sites, etc.
Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making
The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and a policy on Trading in the Company’s Securities and other governance policies which are available on the Company’s web site.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
The Board has adopted a policy requiring the Managing Director to state in writing to the Board that the Company’s Financial Statements present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results are in accordance with relevant accounting standards. In addition, standard audit procedures require management to provide a Management Representation Letter relating to these matters. The Board has established a practice of meeting periodically with the Company’s Auditors, without management being present, to enable the auditors to freely express any concerns in this area.
The Company has established an Audit Committee comprising two independent Directors being John Gaskell (Chairman) and Stephen Lonergan, whose qualifications are set out in the Directors' Report. The Audit Committee has met twice during the year.
The formal charter of the Audit Committee is to give assurance to the Board that all financial statements and reports to be adopted by the Board are consistent with all applicable reporting requirements and are, in all respects, accurate and not misleading. Additionally, the Audit Committee is the mechanism through which the Company’s Auditors will interface with the Board.
The Company's auditor is PKF which has a policy of rotating the audit Partner each five years.
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
The Company has adopted a formal Continuous Disclosure Policy and this is available on the Company’s website.
Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
The Company maintains a website to facilitate shareholder communication and participation, including an email service. No formal communications policy has been adopted. The Company’s auditor attends the Annual General Meeting and is available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditors report.

PARADIGM METALS LIMITED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
Risk faced by the Company is a standing agenda item for Board meetings. The suite of risks faced by the Company as a mining exploration entity are comparatively limited and for this reason a formal risk management policy has not yet been adopted. The Board actively discusses specific risks, and puts in place provisions to deal with these risks. An example is that the Company has addressed the risk of being exposed to fraud, and adapted its banking procedures to minimise exposure to this risk. The Company has also put in place insurance to cover this risk.
The Board has adopted a requirement that the Managing Director should state to the Board in writing that:
-
the statement given in accordance with best practice recommendation 4.1 (the integrity of financial statements) is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board, and;
-
the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects.
It should be noted that the Company does not maintain a Risk Management Committee because of the simplicity of its operations solely as a mining exploration entity. This function remains with the Board.
Principle 8: Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly
Given the small size of the Board and that there are only two employees, the Board has not established a Remuneration Committee but remuneration issues are considered by the Board as a whole. There is a clear distinction in the remuneration of the non executive Directors and that of Management. The Company complies with the guidelines in the Principles for non executive Director remuneration.
The Company does not maintain any equity-based remuneration scheme other than an employee option scheme.
The main remuneration issues relate to the salary of the Managing Director, Directors fees, and rates paid to consultants and contractors relating to the provision of their services. These terms are set by reference to market terms paid by similar companies.
-
The only senior executive employed by the Company is the Managing Director whose remuneration package is currently as follows:
-
gross salary of $210,000 per annum inclusive of superannuation effective from 1 January 2011 and reviewed annually;
-
the contract has no specified term but may be terminated with three months notice on either side;
-
expenses incurred in the performance of Company business are refunded;
-
the employment contract has no provision for non-monetary components such as share option benefits, salary bonuses, or non-cash benefits.
The fees paid to Directors are considered appropriate compared with market, the size of the Company, and the requirements for Directors to inform and involve themselves in the affairs of the Company. Individual Directors fees are a fixed amount per annum, and there are no retirement benefits provided to Directors. The aggregate amount payable as Directors fees in any year is a fixed amount (up to $150,000) approved by shareholders.
Remuneration paid to Directors during the past year is set out in the Remuneration Report contained in the Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.
