REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

THE LADIES (PDM 100%)

EPM 19016 and EPM 25366 “The Ladies” is a copper-gold project located 70km southwest of Cloncurry in northwest Queensland, and about 20km south of the old Mary Kathleen uranium mine.

EPM 19016 was granted to Paradigm in February 2013 for a period of five years and EPM 25366 was granted in May 2014 for a period of three years.

During the year of review the company completed two significant phases of exploration at “The Ladies”, namely.

In the September 2013 quarter the company completed a soil geochemistry program followed with a first pass RC drilling program over three prospects which was completed in the December 2013 quarter. Results are summarised below:

Figure 1.

Soil and termite mound sampling

Paradigm analysed 498 in situ soil and termite mound samples over a 2 km x 1.5 km using a portable XRF analyser on a 50m by 200m grid – see Figure 1. Copper values ranged from 20 ppm to 10,600 ppm (1.06%) copper. The highest results occurred in the Lady Kate area over a 200m by 300m area, with several termite mounds recording over 2,000 ppm (0.2%) copper.

Figure 2.

Lady Amy rock sampling

The Lady Amy area has a number of shallow copper shafts which expose copper oxide mineralization along an old mining wall. A 64m wide wall returned an average grade of 3% copper and 0.3g/t gold based on sixteen 4m semicontinuous (SC) linear chip samples taken approximately perpendicular to strike. Secondary copper mineralization (malachite, minor azurite) occur throughout - see Figure 2.

Figure 3.

Lady Kate rock sampling

The Lady Kate area has a number of shallow copper shafts, although outcrop is generally poor across much of the area. The wall of a 20m wide copper digging returned an average grade of 1.3% copper and 0.3g/t gold from semi continuous rock chip sampling with samples collected approximately perpendicular to strike. A semi continuous sample across a second digging returned 8m with an average grade of 1.7% copper and 0.3g/t gold - see Figure 3.

RC Drilling

The company successfully completed a six (6) hole RC drill programme at three prospects for a total of 816 metres at the Ladies project in the December 2013 quarter. Refer ASX announcement 7th January 2014 for full details of all drill results for the six Paradigm holes, and two previous drill holes. Key results are detailed below and plotted in Figure 4.

Key Results:

• Lady Kate:

LKTPDM001:

• 15m at 2.00% copper and 0.34g/t gold from 17m depth (oxide) including 2m at 11.0% copper and 1.85g/t gold from 22m.

LKTPDM002:

• 18m at 1.03% copper and 0.10g/t gold from 25m (mixed oxide and sulphide).

Paradigm Metals Limited – Directors’ Report

• Lady Rose:

LKTPDM005:

• 16m at 0.51% copper and 0.04g/t gold from surface (oxide);

• 28m at 0.70% copper and 0.14g/t gold from 72m (sulphide) including 6m at 1.5% copper and 0.28g/t gold from 90m.

LKTPDM006:

• 4m at 1.9% Cu and 0.14g/t Au from 82m (sulphide).

Paradigm Metals Limited – Directors’ Report

Drill hole LKTPDM005 intersected three continuous zones of low to moderate copper gold mineralisation in the top 100 metres – see Figures 5 and 6. Copper gold mineralisation in drill hole LKTPDM005 is open along strike. A previous drill hole by Placer Exploration in 1992, MD-1, intersected 16m at 0.8% Cu and 0.1g/t gold from 46m, including 2m at 3.5% copper, some 400 metres northeast along strike of Lady Rose.

Paradigm Metals Limited – Directors’ Report

• Lady Amy:

The Lady Amy area was drilled with one (1) hole to a total depth of 114 metres, aimed to test beneath oxide copper workings that had been channel sampled by the Company. No significant mineralisation was intersected. It is interpreted that the mineralization observed at surface is either faulted off or changes strike so as not to have been intersected at depth.

YELLOW MOUNTAIN (PDM 30%, earning 51%)

No work was carried out on EL 6325 Yellow Mountain during the financial year. The company is reviewing its commitment to the future exploration expenditure under the agreement.

WHITE ROCK (PDM 100%)

No work was carried out on EL 6274 during the financial year.

However, during the year the company continued discussions regarding various development options with interested third parties.

FROGMORE (PDM 100%)

No work was carried out on EL 6590 during the financial year.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Remuneration Policy

The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. The Group does not link the nature and amount of the emoluments of such officers to the Group’s financial or operational performance, with the exception of the CEO who has a bonus structure in place for achievement of market capitalisation milestones. The expected outcome of this remuneration structure is to retain and motivate Directors.

As part of its Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures, the Board has adopted a formal Remuneration Committee Charter. Due to the current size of the Group and number of directors, the Board has elected not to create a separate Remuneration Committee but has instead decided to undertake the function of the Committee as a full Board under the guidance of the formal charter.

The rewards for Directors’ have no set or pre-determined performance conditions or key performance indicators as part of their remuneration due to the current nature of the business operations. The Board determines appropriate levels of performance rewards as and when they consider rewards are warranted. The Group has no policy on executives and directors entering into contracts to hedge their exposure to options or shares granted as part of their remuneration package.

The table below shows the performance of the Group as measured by loss per share since 2011:

The Group has established a set of corporate governance policies and procedures. These were based on the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s (the Council’s) “Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations” (the Recommendations).

The Board has accepted the following definition of an Independent Director:

• “An Independent Director is a Director who is not a member of management, is a Non-executive Director and who:

Paradigm Metals Limited – Corporate Governance Statement

Nomination Committee

The Board has formally adopted a Nomination Committee Charter but given the present size of the Group, has not formed a separate Committee. Instead the function will be undertaken by the full Board in accordance with the policies and procedures outlined in the Nomination Committee Charter. At such time when the Group is of sufficient size a separate Nomination Committee will be formed.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

The Board has formally adopted an Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter but given the present size of the Group, has not formed a separate Committee. Instead the function of the Committee will be undertaken by the full Board in accordance with the policies and procedures outlined in the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter. At such time when the Group is of sufficient size a separate Audit and Risk Management Committee will be formed.

It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes both internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial and nonfinancial information. It is the Board’s responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control of the Group.

Performance

The Board of Paradigm Metals conducts its performance review of itself on an ongoing basis throughout the year. The small size of the Group and hands on management style requires an increased level of interaction between Directors and Executives throughout the year. Board members meet amongst themselves both formally and informally. The Board considers that the current approach that it has adopted with regard to the review of its performance provides the best guidance and value to the Group.

Remuneration

It is the Group’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board by remunerating Directors fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. The Group does not link the nature and amount of executive and directors’ emoluments to the Group’s financial and operational performance.

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

1. Corporate Information

The financial report consists of the consolidated financial statements of Paradigm Metals Limited and its subsidiaries (“Paradigm” or “the Group”) for the year ended 30 June 2014 and was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 25 August 2014.

Paradigm Metals Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The nature of the operations and the principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors Report.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis. The presentation currency is Australian dollars.

The accounting policies disclosed below have been consistently applied to all of the years presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Statement of Compliance

The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).

(c) Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 17 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 2014 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 Profit or Loss and Other 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.

Going Concern

This report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group incurred a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2014 of $1,071,903 and experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $648,054 and net cash outflows for investing activities of $364,472. At 30 June 2014, the Group

22

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

had a net current asset position of $607,025. The cash and cash equivalents balance at the date of issuing this report is $545,699. The Directors recognise the need to raise additional funds via equity raisings for planned future exploration activities.

In considering the above, the Directors have reviewed the Group’s financial position and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate as they believe the Group will be successful in securing additional funds through an equity issue.

Should the Group not obtain funds through an equity issue, there is significant uncertainty whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

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

(d) New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

The following applicable accounting standards and interpretations have been issued or amended but are not yet effective. These standards have not been adopted by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2014 and no change to the Group’s accounting policy is required.

Reference	Title	Summary	Impact on Group’s financial report	Application date for Group
AASB 9	Financial Instruments	AASB 9 includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. It was further amended by AASB 2010-7 to reflect amendments to the accounting for financial liabilities. These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are described below. (a) Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows. (b) Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument. (c) Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.	The Group has not yet determined the impact on the Group’s financial statements.	1 July 2017

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

Reference	Title	Summary	Impact on Group’s financial report	Application date for Group
		(d) Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for as follows: ►The change attributable to changes in credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) ►The remaining change is presented in profit or loss If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or loss. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7 and 2010-10.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new Standards or Interpretations.

(e) Impairment of non financial assets other than goodwill

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets of the Group. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or cashgenerating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses relating to continuing operations are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset unless the asset is carried at revalued amount (in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease).

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

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

(f) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the Group is accumulated separately for each area of interest. Such expenditure comprises net direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure, but does not include general overheads or administrative expenditure not having a specific nexus with a particular area of interest.

24

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

Each area of interest is limited to a size related to a known or probable mineral resource capable of supporting a mining operation.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided that one of the following conditions is met:

• such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or, alternatively, by its sale; or

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

Expenditure which fails to meet the conditions outlined above is impaired, furthermore, the directors regularly review the carrying value of exploration and evaluation expenditure and make write downs if the values are not expected to be recoverable.

Identifiable exploration assets acquired are recognised as assets at their cost of acquisition, as determined by the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources (AASB 6) . Exploration assets acquired are reassessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one of the conditions referred to in AASB 6 is met.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to acquisition in respect of an exploration asset acquired, is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above for exploration expenditure incurred by or on behalf of the entity.

Acquired exploration assets are not written down below acquisition cost until such time as the acquisition cost is not expected to be recovered.

When an area of interest is abandoned, any expenditure carried forward in respect of that area is written off.

Expenditure is not carried forward in respect of any area of interest/mineral resource unless the Group’s rights of tenure to that area of interest are current.

(g) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 – 90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms. Factors considered by the Group in making this determination include known significant financial difficulties of the debtor, review of financial information and significant delinquency in making contractual payments to the Group. The impairment allowance is set equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the receivable and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Where receivables are short-term discounting is not applied in determining the allowance.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

25

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

(h) Plant and equipment

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.

(i) 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.

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short term deposits in the statement of financial position include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown as current liabilities in the statement of financial position. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as described above.

(k) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present value or management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.

26

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money, and where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(l) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

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

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

Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

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

Factors which could impact the future recoverability include the level of proved, probable and inferred mineral resources, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

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

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

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using a Black and Scholes model.

(m) Income tax

Deferred income tax is provided for on all temporary differences at reporting date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. No deferred income tax will be recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries if the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the near future.

27

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 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 for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses 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 tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date 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 the law. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and only recognised to the extent that sufficient future assessable income is expected to be obtained. Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(n) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(o) Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue is capable of being reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest income

Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(p) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than dividends, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus elements.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Group, adjusted for:

• costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

• the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

• other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; and

• divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus elements.

(q) 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

28

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

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.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Tax Office is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which is receivable from or payable to the ATO, are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(r) Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are measured at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received that are unpaid, whether or not billed to the Group.

(s) Share based payment transactions

The Group provides benefits to individuals acting as, and providing services similar to employees (including Directors) of the Group in the form of share based payment transactions, whereby individuals render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity settled transactions’).

The cost of these equity settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.

In valuing equity settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Paradigm Metals Limited (‘market conditions’).

The cost of the equity settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).

The cumulative expense recognised for equity settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the Directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of the market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised at the beginning and end of the period.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.

Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the value of the transaction as a result of the modification, as measured at the date of the modification.

Where an equity settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of the cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and

designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The cost of equity-settled transactions with non-employees is measured by reference to the fair value of goods and services received unless this cannot be measured reliably, in which case the cost is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected in the computation of loss per share (see note 15).

(t) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the strategic steering committee.

(u) Comparative information Where appropriate, comparative information has been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation in the current year.

3. Segment Information

For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which involves exploration for metals. All of the Group’s activities are interrelated, and discrete financial information is reported to the Board (Chief Operating Decision Makers) as a single segment.

Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole. Total revenue earned by the Group is generated in Australia and all of the Group’s non-current assets reside in Australia.

5. Income tax

Income tax recognised in profit / (loss) The prima facie tax on loss from ordinary activities before income tax is reconciled to the income tax as follows: Loss from operations Prima facie tax benefit on loss from ordinary activities before income tax at 30% (2013: 30%) Consolidated Entity Add: tax effect of non-allowable items Less: tax effect of temporary differences not brought to account Deferred tax assets not brought to account Income tax attributable to the entity

2014 2013 $ $ (1,071,903) (801,386) (321,571) (240,416) 3,019 5,290 1,563 (11,000) 316,989 246,126 - -

As at 30 June 2014, the consolidated entity had estimated unrecouped operating income tax losses of $13,459,142 (2013: $12,590,038). The tax benefit of these losses of $4,037,743 (2013: $3,777,011) 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 realised.

(ii) The Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law;

(iii) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.

As at 30 June 2014 there were no franking credits available for subsequent financial years.

6. Deferred exploration and evaluation expenditure At beginning of the year Exploration expenditure during the year Impairment expense Total exploration and evaluation	2014 $ 2013 $ 3,203,959 3,354,624 344,025 131,236 (362,949) (281,901)
	3,185,035 3,203,959

The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration expenditure is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas. The impairment loss relates to the withdrawal from various tenements held that the Group has made a decision to not continue exploration work and accordingly wrote down the carrying value to nil.

18. Financial Risk Management

Exposure to interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group does not hold or use derivative financial instruments. The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise mainly of deposits with banks. The totals for each category of financial instruments are as follows:

Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables	2014 2013 $ $
	669,399 1,681,925 82,017 89,980
	108,200 101,637

The Group uses different methods as discussed below to manage risks that arise from these financial instruments. The objective is to support the delivery of the financial targets while protecting future financial security.

(a) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash facilities to meet the operating requirements of the business and investing excess funds in highly liquid short term investments. The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors.

Alternatives for sourcing future capital needs include the cash position and future equity raising alternatives. These alternatives are evaluated to determine the optimal mix of capital resources for our capital needs. The Board expects that,

35

Paradigm Metals Limited Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014

assuming no material adverse change in a combination of our sources of liquidity, present levels of liquidity will be adequate to meet expected capital needs.

Maturity analysis for financial liabilities

Financial liabilities of the Group comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2014 all financial liabilities are contractually matured within 60 days.

(b) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of financial instruments.

The Group’s exposure to changes to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash and term deposits. The Group manages the risk by investing in short term deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents	669,399	1,681,925

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables constant.

Change in Basis Points	Effect on Post Tax Loss ($)	Effect on Post Tax Loss ($)	Effect on Post Tax Loss ($)	Effect on Equity	including
	Increase/(Decrease)			retained earnings ($)
				Increase/(Decrease)
		2014	2013	2014	2013
Increase 100 basis points		6,694	16,819	6,694	16,819
Decrease 100 basispoints		(6,694)	(16,819)	(6,694)	(16,819)

A sensitivity of 100 basis points has been used as this is considered reasonable given the current level of both short term and long term Australian Dollar interest rates. This would represent two to four movements by the Reserve Bank of Australia.

(c) Credit Risk Exposures

Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the Group to incur a financial loss. The Group’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts on the statement of financial position. The Group holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties.

At 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013, the Group held cash at bank. These were held with financial institution with a rating from Standard & Poors of AA or above (long term). The Group has no past due or impaired debtors as at 30 June 2014 (2013: Nil).

(d) Fair Value Measurement

There were no financial assets or liabilities at 30 June 2014 requiring fair value estimation and disclosure as they are either not carried at fair value or in the case for short term assets and liabilities, their carrying values approximate fair value.

19. Contingent liabilities

There are no known contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2014.

	300,000 -

The Group has the right to relinquish the tenements at any time which will release the Group from future payments. These amounts are not recognised in the statement of financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Paradigm Metals Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Paradigm Metals Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

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 gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2(b), 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 .

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. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 company’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.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

has been given to the directors of Paradigm Metals Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion

In our opinion:

• (a) the financial report of Paradigm Metals Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

• (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

• (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and

• (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2(b).

Emphasis of matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(c) in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 2(c), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Paradigm Metals Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
