Dear Shareholders,
The 2010-2011 fi nancial year has been another successful and eventful year for Cape Lambert Resources Limited (“Company”).
We have continued to follow our successful business strategy of acquiring and investing in assets that are distressed or undervalued with a view to monetise them at a multiple, whilst retaining exposure to the disposed asset through a production royalty and/or equity interest and distributing surplus cash to shareholders. The Company undertook a number of acquisitions and disposals in the past fi nancial year, a direct return to shareholders of a $43.8million fully franked dividend in July 2010, and an indirect return to shareholders of $31.9million by way of an on-market share buy-back.
A key transaction was the 100% takeover of DMC Mining Ltd (“DMC”) in August 2010, the holder of a then 80% interest in the Mayoko Iron Ore Project in the Republic of Congo for $32.4million, which was subsequently followed by the backdoor listing of DMC into African Iron Limited (“African Iron”). In consideration for the sale of DMC, the Company received $47million cash, 120 million African Iron Shares (equating to 25% of African Iron) and a production royalty of $1 per tonne of iron ore shipped from the Mayoko Iron Ore Project.
Another signifi cant acquisition made by the Company throughout the fi nancial year was the increase of its interest in Pinnacle Group Assets Limited (“Pinnacle”) to 90% in June 2011, and subsequently to 100% in September 2011. Pinnacle owns the Kukuna Iron Ore Project located in Sierra Leone and the Sandenia Iron Ore Project located in the Republic of Guinea. The Company further increased its strategic portfolio of West African assets by identifying and applying for a land package prospective for iron ore known as the Rokel Iron Ore Project, located in Sierra Leone. This project covers the vast land corridor extending from the Company’s Marampa to Kukuna projects’.
==> picture [72 x 281] intentionally omitted <==
Further realisation of assets acquired as part of the CopperCo transaction was achieved by the Company disposing of its 25% interest in the Lady Loretta project for $30million, taking the cash generated from the sale of the CopperCo assets to $205million with a number of assets remaining as potential sale opportunities.
One of our main focuses has been on the exploration and development of the Marampa Iron Ore Project in Sierra Leone with a view to ultimately crystallising shareholder value through a trade sale to a strategic group capable of funding the development of the project or an initial public offering. The Company has defi ned a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 680Mt at 28.2% Fe, representing an increase of 245% over the maiden Mineral Resource announced in November 2010. Our continued aim for the forthcoming fi nancial year is to sell down our interest and to raise new money for project development for the benefi t of shareholders and our Sierra Leonean stakeholders.
I encourage you to read the summary of the other key acquisitions, disposals and transactions throughout the 2010/2011 fi nancial year which are set out in the review of operations section of this Annual Report.
I would like to thank you for your continued support and look forward to sharing another successful year with you.
Yours faithfully,

Marampa Iron Ore Project
Location and Overview
The Marampa Iron Ore Project (“Marampa” or “Marampa Project”) is a brownfi elds hematite iron ore project at the feasibility assessment stage located 90km northeast of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa (Figure 1: Location of Cape Lambert projects in West Africa). Marampa comprises a granted exploration licence (EL46/2011 – formerly EXPL09/06) covering 305km[2] . The licence is held by Marampa Iron Ore (SL) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Marampa Project is connected to the stockpiling and ship loading facility at Pepel Port via an existing 73km railway (“Marampa Infrastructure”) and has an access to the infrastructure through an agreement with African Minerals Limited (“African Minerals”). African Minerals has a 99 year lease for the operation of, and is currently refurbishing, the Marampa Infrastructure. An agreement is also in place with African Minerals to export an additional 3Mtpa of concentrate though a new deep water port to be built at Tagrin, when this becomes operational. Discussions are underway with African Minerals to increase the total export to 10Mtpa.

Geology
Iron ore mineralisation occurs at Marampa as units of hematite schist located within the metapelitic schists of the Rokotolon Formation of the Marampa Group (Figure 2: Hematite mineralisation at the Marampa Project). The Marampa Group stratigraphy is interpreted to unconformably overly Leonean Granite comprising granitoid and granitoid gneiss rocks. To date, seven major hematite schist deposits have been identifi ed on the Licence (Figure 3: Geology of the Marampa Project), with individual bodies of mineralisation up to 100m thick and extending over strike lengths of several kilometres.
As at 31 July 2011, a total of 49,562 metres of diamond and reverse circulation drilling has been completed at Marampa comprising resource defi nition drilling at Matukia, Gafal West, Mafuri and Rotret, and initial drilling at the Petifu and Makambo prospects.

All Mineral Resources have only been estimated to a maximum depth of -200mRL (approximately 200 to 250m below surface), meaning that there is potential up-side to the resource quantity at depth. Further resource potential also exists along strike to the north at Matukia and west of Mafuri.
In addition to the Mineral Resources at the Matukia, Gafal, Mafuri and Rotret deposits there are an additional three known prospects on the Licence, namely Petifu, Makambo and Toma (Figure 3: Geology of the Marampa Project), which have a combined Exploration Target[1] of between 91Mt and 175Mt at approximately 20-35% Fe.
1 The estimates of exploration target sizes mentioned in this report should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as estimates of Mineral Resources. The estimate of exploration target sizes are conceptual in nature and there has been insuffi cient exploration completed to date to determine the quantity and grade, or to estimate a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC Code (2004) guidelines. Further, it is uncertain if future exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Marampa Iron Ore Project (Continued)
Technical Work Completed
In January 2011, the Company completed a Scoping Study that examined a standalone, open pit mining development at Marampa producing 5Mtpa of hematite concentrate. This study was based on the maiden Mineral Resources (197Mt at 28.5% Fe) defi ned at the Gafal West and Matukia deposits only. The Scoping Study concluded that a fi nancially robust operation could be established at Marampa based on the known resources at that time.
Based on these positive results, in the March 2011 quarter, the Company commenced further detailed technical and environmental work to optimise the design criteria and operating and capital costs required to increase the scale of the Marampa Project to 10Mtpa of ~65% Fe hematite concentrate production.
An Updated Scoping Study completed by Bateman Engineering Pty Ltd (“Bateman”), with contributions from several specialist consultants, was delivered in September 2011 and was based on the updated mineral resource inventory defi ned at the Gafal, Matukia, Mafuri and Rotret deposits (680Mt at 28.2% Fe).
The Updated Scoping Study confi rmed iron recoveries of ≥90% are achievable when producing a high grade iron concentrate with typically ~65%Fe grade and low levels of contaminants. This study was based on a staged project development approach with Stage 1 production planned at 2.5Mtpa and Stage 2 expanding production to 10Mtpa within 18 months, resulting in a 22 year mine life. The Stage 1 capital investment was estimated at US$458M whilst the Stage 2 expansion was estimated at US$1,051M. The Stage 1 operating costs were estimated at US$45 per tonne of concentrate, free on board (FOB), with an average life of mine operating cost of US$52 per tonne FOB.
Metallurgy
A metallurgical test work programme, as part of the Updated Scoping Study, was managed by Bateman with benefi ciation testwork on both fresh and oxide mineralisation.
Metallurgical testwork confi rmed that high quality saleable iron concentrates of approximately 65% Fe, with low levels of deleterious elements can be produced from Marampa ores. The testwork has also demonstrated that iron recoveries of 90 to 97% are achievable. Near surface oxide ore will only require primary liberation by wet rotary scrubbing, and screening of the scrubber oversize at 850μm prior to benefi ciation.
The more competent fresh and laterite ore types will require primary liberation by conventional crushing to a P80 size of approximately 10mm followed by ball milling in closed circuit with a screen at 850μm prior to benefi ciation.
Following the appropriate comminution steps, all ore types will be processed via fi ve sequential stages of wet, high-intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS) with some intermediate grinding of concentrate streams. The fi nal product P80 size is a relatively coarse at approximately 180μm. A schematic process fl owsheet is shown in Figure 4: Schematic Process Flowsheet.

FIGURE 4: SCHEMATIC PROCESS FLOWSHEET
==> picture [469 x 315] intentionally omitted <==
The Updated Scoping Study completed by Bateman proposes the process plant will be constructed in two stages, with Stage 2 to be built immediately after Stage 1 is in production. Stage 1 is designed for the more easily processed oxide ore and will have a production capacity of 2.5Mtpa of product (although some sections of the circuit are sized for 5Mtpa of product, namely the; primary crusher, thickeners, fi ltration, and product stockpiles).
Stage 2 will include an expanded oxide processing circuit and comminution circuits to treat fresh (and laterite) ore. Stage 2 will increase the total production capacity to 10 Mtpa of concentrate.
A general layout of the Marampa Project is shown in Figure 5: Marampa Project Layout.

ANNUAL REPORT
Pinnacle
The assets of Pinnacle include the Kukuna Iron Ore Project located in Sierra Leone (“Kukuna Project” or “Kukuna”) and the Sandenia Iron Ore Project located in the Republic of Guinea (“Sandenia Project” or “Sandenia”).
Kukuna
The Kukuna Project is located 120km northeast of Freetown in the northwest of Sierra Leone and comprises one exploration licence covering 68km[2] (Figure 1: Location of Cape Lambert projects in West Africa). The licence is located 70km due north of the Marampa Project.
The Kukuna licence contains rocks correlated with the Marampa Group stratigraphy, which host the specular hematite schist iron mineralisation, similar to that at Marampa. The licence is extensively covered by laterite, alluvium and vegetation. Initial exploration comprising geological mapping, trenching and ground IP geophysical surveys have been completed and have defi ned several drill targets that are under cover. Follow-up trenching and scout diamond drilling to test these targets commenced in July 2011.
The objective of exploration at Kukuna is to discover and defi ne suffi cient hematite schist mineralisation to support a standalone mining operation similar to the deposits defi ned at the Marampa to the south.
To the end of September 2011, 34 holes (7,952m) had been completed. This fi rst phase of drilling has identifi ed signifi cant intercepts of hematite schist with the fi rst assays expected by December 2011.
Sandenia
The Sandenia Project is located 290km east northeast of Conakry in the central south of the Republic of Guinea and comprises two exploration permits covering 608km[2] (Figure 1: Location of Cape Lambert projects in West Africa). The Sandenia permits contain rocks of Archean age that are prospective for iron mineralisation, which are similar to the host rocks that contain the 6.16Bt Kalia deposit owned by Bellzone Mining plc located on the adjacent permit to the north.
Regional mapping and sampling completed by SRK Consulting (Australasia) Limited early in 2011 identifi ed seven exploration targets over an aggregate strike length of >20km containing weathered and fresh magnetite Banded Iron Formation and confi rmed in-situ iron grades of up to 48.5%.
Detailed prospect mapping was completed on the priority targets at Sandenia and Sandenia East during June 2011 to defi ne drill targets. This mapping confi rmed the presence of magnetite bearing lithologies including magnetite quartzite and magnetite amphibolite ultramafi c rocks. Subtropical weathering has resulted in the formation of iron-rich laterites overlying the mineralised units, which in some places form lateritic plateaus that will be investigated for potential direct shipping iron ore .

Rokel Iron Ore Project
==> picture [191 x 71] intentionally omitted <==
Metal Exploration (Mauritius) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cape Lambert, holds a land package of granted licences and applications in Sierra Leone totalling approximately 3,000km[2] , covering the region 70km to the north and south of Marampa (Figure 1: Location of Cape Lambert projects in West Africa). This land package is referred to as the Rokel Iron Ore Project (“Rokel” or “Rokel Project”) and is prospective for the discovery of hematite schist deposits similar to those at the Marampa Project.
Three historical occurrences of specular hematite schist have been recorded on the Rokel Project approximately 30-40km to the northwest and northeast of Lunsar, and another 8km northeast of Lunsar (referred to as the Kumrabai prospect).
A high resolution magnetic and radiometric airborne survey was completed over the Rokel Project tenements during June 2011. The survey totalled 17,040 line kilometres on 200m line spacings. Interpretation and target generation for Marampa type iron ore deposits and other anomalies is ongoing.
Interpretation of the ground Induced Polarisation geophysical survey data collected in the March 2011 quarter over the Kumrabai prospect east of Marampa was completed. This identifi ed four linear, high intensity, coincident conductive/chargeable anomalies over an 8km zone striking to the north. Occurrences of specular hematite clasts in laterite cover were also noted along this zone during the geophysical survey. The IP anomalies possibly represent one or two units of hematite schist located under surfi cial laterite cover.
Regional geological mapping and sampling of the known occurrences, including the Kumrabai anomalies will be undertaken during 2011/12.

Sappes Gold Project
The Sappes Gold Project (“Sappes” or “Sappes Project”) is a gold development project located in north eastern Greece approximately 30km northwest of the Aegean Sea port city of Alexandropoulos, on a 20.1km[2] mining licence granted until 2023. Sappes is currently the subject of an agreement for its sale to Glory Resources Limited for a total consideration of A$46.5 million which is expect to complete before the end of 2011 (see ASX Announcement on 18 August 2011).
The Sappes deposits are typical high-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits that also contain silver and copper. They are hosted by a sequence of tertiary calc-alkaline volcanics, volcaniclastics and sedimentary rocks that have been subjected to intense hydrothermal silica and clay alteration associated with the gold mineralisation. The Viper, St Demetrios and Scarp gold deposits and their host rocks are disrupted by a number of fault zones.
The audited Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources for the Sappes Project are summarised in Table 2: Sappes Mineral Resource Estimate – September 2010.

The development of Sappes is based around the high-grade, underground Viper deposit and an open pit at the nearby St Demetrios deposit. The Viper deposit is planned to be developed utilising decline access with truck haulage of ore to the process plant on surface. Mining will be fully mechanised and trackless equipment, utilising Drift and Fill stoping with cemented tailings hydraulic backfi ll.
The lower grade St. Demetrios deposit is planned to be mined by a shallow open-pit to provide supplementary mill feed, to smooth out the overall production rate to 200,000 tpa and to ensure that the mill is utilised to its full capacity. The actual production rate will be fl exible to dovetail with the supply of ore from the underground mine.

Leichhardt Project
The Leichhardt Project, which is currently on care and maintenance is located approximately 100km northeast of Mt Isa in the highly prospective Eastern Succession of the Mt Isa Inlier and comprises:
-
» the Leichardt process plant at Mt Cuthbert; a heap leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning facility with installed capacity of 9,000 tonnes per annum of copper cathode;
-
» a package of 43 granted tenements (approximately 850km[2] ) and 11 applications for Exploration Permits (500km[2] );
-
» the established Mt Watson open pit located approximately 27km north of the Leichhardt process plant (Figure 6: Copper mineralisation at Mt Watson); and
-
» a Mineral Resource inventory of oxide, transition and primary copper at the Leichhardt, Mighty Atom, Hidden Treasure, Ned Kelly and Mt Cuthbert deposits, and several targets including Mt Wonder, Mt Earl and Prospector that are prospective for oxide and primary copper deposits.
Technical Work Completed
A programme of drilling and metallurgical test work commenced in early 2011 to investigate the leachability of the in-situ transitional material at the Mt Watson open pit.
Metallurgical diamond drilling of the transitional copper resource within the Mt Watson West Pit (6 holes for 471.6m) was completed during April 2011. This drilling provided suffi cient material to conduct column leach testwork with the diamond core samples currently being tested by HRL Testing Pty Ltd in Brisbane. The work programme underway includes head assay, physical property testing and bottle roll and column leach tests for evaluation of heap leach characteristics and copper recovery.

Regional Exploration
Commencing in March 2011, the Company continued work to identify, prioritise and test prospects and targets to increase the oxide and primary copper mineral inventories at the Leichhardt Project. A high resolution airborne geophysical survey was fl own over the entire project area in July 2011 and interpretation and target generation is ongoing.
Further exploration commenced at two priority targets identifi ed at Mt Wonder and Prospector.
The Mt Wonder prospect is located 17km north of Mt Watson. Scout exploration drilling in 2005 intersected encouraging copper oxide mineralisation within the lower siltstone members of the Surprise Creek Formation, which is in a similar position to the Mt Watson copper oxide deposit.
A programme of soil geochemical sampling was completed in June 2011 over Mt Wonder to defi ne the extent of the copper mineralisation. A total of 229 soil samples were collected on a 50m grid. This survey has defi ned a northwest trending copper-in-soil anomaly (>150ppm Cu, peak 4,850ppm Cu) over an area of 1,000m by 250m within the Surprise Creek Formation. Follow-up mapping has commenced and a subaudio magnetic ground geophysical survey was completed to defi ne priority drill targets. This survey was successful by defi ning resource extension targets at Mt Watson. Further geological interpretation is being carried out prior to drill testing.
The Prospector prospect is located 38km south of Mt Cuthbert and comprises a series of copper in soil geochemical anomalies and nine airborne time-domain electromagnetic (“VTEM”) anomalies, which have been only partially tested. Work to further defi ne drill targets including VTEM modelling and geological mapping has commenced.

Field reconnaissance of these targets has been delayed due to the extended rainy season and is planned to be undertaken during October 2011.
The Mojo Project licences cover the projected southern extension of the Mt Isa Inlier under younger cover rocks. A geophysical assessment completed in 2010 defi ned 3 main target areas where the depth to the prospective Mt Isa Inlier basement is approximately 200-500m. A high resolution ground gravity geophysical survey to more accurately delineate the depth to basement was completed in September 2011. The data is currently being interpreted prior to drill testing of priority targets in 2012.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
Principal Activity
The principal activity of the Cape Lambert Group during the year was mineral investment, exploration and evaluation.
There were no signifi cant changes in the nature of the principal activity during the year.
Review of Operations
The year ended 30 June 2011 was another productive year for the Cape Lambert Group with a number of transactions completed to build on and enhance its multi commodity and geographically diverse portfolio of mineral assets and investments.
A summary of the most signifi cant transactions is set out below;
-
Payment of a $43.8 million fully franked special dividend in July 2010.
-
Formation of a strategic alliance with Chameleon Mining NL (“Chameleon”) in August 2010. Cape Lambert advanced $6.5 million to Chameleon which served as a loan facility, and Cape Lambert participated to the extent of $2 million in a placement conducted by Chameleon. In March 2011, the $6.5 million advance was repaid to Cape Lambert as a consequence of a favourable outcome from Chameleon’s appeal against International Litigation Partners Pte Ltd. The alliance with Chameleon exposes Cape Lambert Shareholders to a potential positive outcome from a pending Federal Court decision in relation to Murchison Metals Limited in respect of the ownership of the producing Jack Hills iron ore asset.
-
The acquisition of the Leichhardt Copper Project located in the world class Mt Isa base metals province of North West Queensland completed in August 2010. Payment on completion amounted to $6.7 million which was in addition to a $1 million deposit paid in the prior year. The Leichhardt process plant at Mt Cuthbert – a heap leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning facility has an installed production capacity of 9,000 tpa of copper cathode.
-
The 100% acquisition of DMC Mining Ltd (“DMC Mining”) pursuant to a takeover bid completed in August 2010. Cape Lambert paid $32.4 million to complete the acquisition.
-
In February 2011, Cape Lambert completed an on market share buy-back which had commenced in October 2010. A total amount of $31.9 million was paid to buy back 54,059,653 ordinary shares. Shares that have been bought back by the Company have been cancelled.
-
Cape Lambert continued with legal action against MCC Australia Sanjin Mining Pty Ltd, and its parent company Metallurgical Corporation of China Limited (collectively “MCC”) to recover the fi nal $80 million owing from the sale of the Cape Lambert magnetite iron ore project in mid-2008.
-
Convertible notes totalling $5.7 million were repaid and convertible notes amounting to $2 million were subscribed for.

-
In January 2011, Cape Lambert c ompleted the sale of 100% of its interest in DMC Mining to African Iron Limited (“African Iron”). The Company received $47 million in cash and 120 million African Iron shares which equates to a 25% interest in African Iron. In addition, Cape Lambert will receive a production royalty of $1 per tonne of iron ore shipped.
-
In February 2011, the Company disposed of its remaining stake in Speewah Metals Limited (“Speewah”) (previously NiPlats Australia Limited) generating cash of approximately $13.6 million.
-
In March 2011, Cape Lambert completed the sale of its 25% interest in the Lady Loretta project located in northwest Queensland to Noranda Pacifi c Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xstrata plc, for $30 million in cash.
-
In March 2011, Cape Lambert acquired a further 12 million shares in Pinnacle Group Assets Limited (“Pinnacle”) for $13 million, which increased the Company’s interest in Pinnacle to 46.1%. In May 2011, the Company elected to convert funds advanced to Pinnacle into Pinnacle shares, resulting in its interest in Pinnacle increasing to 47.4%. In June 2011, Cape Lambert completed the acquisition of a further 42.8% interest in Pinnacle. Contemporaneous with the acquisition of the additional interest in Pinnacle, the board of Pinnacle was replaced with Cape Lambert nominees. The consideration paid at settlement for the additional 42.8% of Pinnacle comprised of 54,450,000 Cape Lambert shares and $16.3 million in cash. A further amount of $16.3 million is payable in cash on or before 31 December 2011.
-
In June 2011, the Company entered into a $2 million standby facility agreement (“Facility”) with Fe Limited. Cape Lambert is a substantial shareholder in Fe Limited and currently holds a 19.9% interest. Pursuant to the terms of the Facility, Fe Limited will have access to $2 million, and any amounts drawn down will be payable in full 18 months from the date of execution of the Facility agreement. Interest is payable on the amounts drawn down under the facility at the cash rate plus 3%. Any funds received by Fe Limited from sales of assets or capital raisings must fi rst be used to reduce funds drawn down under the facility. No amounts had been drawn down as at 30 June 2011.
During the year, the Board and management has put a strong focus on Company promotion and enhancing its exposure to Australian and International institutions and funds, with approximately 23% of the share register now held by these groups. Analyst coverage has also increased signifi cantly, with a number of major broking houses in Australia and the United Kingdom initiating coverage.
The Board intends to continue to follow its strategy of acquiring and investing in undervalued mineral assets and companies, and adding value to these assets through a hands on approach to management, exploration and evaluation to enable the assets to be monetised at a multiple. As assets are monetised, the Board intends to follow a policy of distributing surplus cash to Shareholders.
Results
The Cape Lambert Group made a loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2011 of $11,846,271 (2010: profi t of $72,248,076).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .
Remuneration Policy for Directors and Other Key Management Personnel
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of the Company.
Details of Directors and Other Key Management Personnel
DIRECTORS OTHER KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL A Sage – Executive Chairman J Hamilton T Turner – Non-Executive Director K Bischoff B Maher – Non-Executive Director GV Ariti R Levin - Non-Executive Director F Taylor E von Puttkammer C Tolcon
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The remuneration policy of the Company has been designed to align director objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fi xed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual basis in line with market rates. The Board of the Company believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain appropriately skilled directors to run and manage the Company.
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Board members and other key management personnel is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior staff members, was developed by the Executive Chairman and approved by the Board after seeking professional advice from independent external consultants.
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and fringe benefi ts.
The Cape Lambert Group is an exploration entity, and therefore speculative in terms of performance. Consistent with attracting and retaining talented individuals, directors and senior executives are paid market rates associated with individuals in similar positions within the same industry. The Board endorses the use of incentive and bonus payments for directors and senior executives.
Options and performance incentives may also be issued as the Cape Lambert Group invests in projects which are subsequently successfully monetised, and key performance indicators such as profi ts and growth can then be used as measurements for assessing Board performance.
All remuneration paid to directors is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Shares awarded to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Executive Chairman, in consultation with independent advisors, determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. To align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.

Company Performance, Shareho lder We alth and Directors’ and Executives’ Remuneration
The remuneration policy aims to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors via the issue of options to directors to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. During the fi nancial year, the Company’s share price traded between a low of $0.31 and a high of $0.73. The price volatility is a concern to the Board but is not considered abnormal for medium sized exploration entities. In order to keep all investors fully informed and minimise market fl uctuations, the Board is determined to maintain promotional activity amongst the investment community so as to increase awareness of the Company and to stabilise the Company’s share price in line with a consistent and stable fi nancial position and base value of assets.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF ANNUAL REPORT
The fi nancial report is a general purpose fi nancial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The fi nancial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and fi nancial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The fi nancial report is presented in Australian dollars.
The fi nancial report covers Cape Lambert Resources Limited and its controlled entities (“the Consolidated Entity”). Cape Lambert Resources Limited is a public listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS
The fi nancial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). The fi nancial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting fi nancial information satisfi es the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.
(a) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND OTHER DISCLOSURES
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous fi nancial year except as follows: The following standards and interpretations have been applied by the Consolidated Entity during the current year:

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Consolidated Entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2011 are set out below. Unless otherwise stated, it is expected that there will be no impact on the Consolidated Entity on applying the new standards and interpretations once they are effective.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments , AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classifi cation, measurement and derecognition of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the Consolidated Entity’s accounting for its available-for-sale fi nancial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profi t or loss. In the current reporting period, the Consolidated Entity recognised nil of such losses in other comprehensive income.
There will be no impact on the Consolidated Entity’s accounting for fi nancial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for fi nancial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profi t or loss and the Consolidate Entity does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Consolidated Entity has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 9.
AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers of Financial
Assets (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)
In November 2010, the AASB made amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures which introduce additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from transferred fi nancial assets. The amendments will affect particularly entities that sell, factor, securitise, lend or otherwise transfer fi nancial assets to other parties.
AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures, AASB 2011-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project and AASB 2011-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project - Reduced Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2011)
The AASB and NZ FRSB have issued accounting standards that eliminate most of the existing differences between their local standards and IFRS. Where additional disclosures were considered necessary, they were moved to the new standard AASB 1054. Adoption of the new rules will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements, but may simplify some of the Consolidated Entity’s current disclosures.
AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013)
In July 2011 the AASB decided to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements from AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures , to achieve consistency with the international equivalent standard and remove a duplication of the requirements with the Corporations Act 2001 . While this will reduce the disclosures that are currently required in the notes to the fi nancial statements, it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements. The amendments apply from 1 July 2013 and cannot be adopted early. The Corporations Act requirements in relation to remuneration reports will remain unchanged for now, but these requirements are currently subject to review and may also be revised in the near future.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(a) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations (continued)
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities , revised AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (effective 1 January 2013)
In August 2011, the AASB issued a suite of new and amended standards which address the accounting for consolidated fi nancial statements and associated disclosures.
AASB 10 introduces a single defi nition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns before control is present. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. While the Consolidated Entity does not expect the new standard to have a signifi cant impact on its composition, it has yet to perform a detailed analysis of the new guidance in the context of its various investees that may or may not be controlled under the new rules.
AASB 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the new AASB 10 standard and replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in AASB 128. Application of this standard by the Consolidated Entity will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the group’s investments.
AASB 127 is renamed Separate Financial Statements and is now a standard dealing solely with separate fi nancial statements.
Amendments to AASB 128 provide clarifi cation that an entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure its retained interest as part of ownership changes where a joint venture becomes an associate, and vice versa. The amendments also introduce a “partial disposal” concept.
The Consolidated Entity does not expect to adopt the new standards before their operative date.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 January 2013)
AASB 13 was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The Consolidated Entity has yet to determine which, if any, of its current measurement techniques will have to change as a result of the new guidance. It is therefore not possible to state the impact, if any, of the new rules on any of the amounts recognised in the fi nancial statements. Application of the new standard will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the fi nancial statements. The Consolidated Entity does not intend to adopt the new standard before its operative date.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

(b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of Cape Lambert Resources Limited (“Cape Lambert”) and its subsidiaries (as outlined in note 24) as at and for the period ended 30 June each year. Interests in associates are equity accounted and are not part of the Consolidated Entity.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which Cape Lambert has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies so as to obtain benefi ts from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether Cape Lambert controls another entity.
The fi nancial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated fi nancial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profi ts and losses resulting from intragroup transactions have been eliminated in full.
Investments in subsidiaries held by Cape Lambert are accounted for at cost in the separate fi nancial statements of the parent less any impairment charges.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting involves recognising at acquisition, separately from goodwill, the identifi able assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non controlling interest in the acquiree. The identifi able assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration and the fair values of the identifi able net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction.
Non-controlling interests are allocated their share of net profi t after tax in the statement of comprehensive income and are presented with equity in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.
If Cape Lambert loses control over a subsidiary, it:
-
» Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
-
» Derecognises the carrying value of any non-controlling interest;
-
» Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
-
» Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
-
» Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
-
» Recognises and surplus or defi cit in the statement of comprehensive income;
-
» Reclassifi es the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profi t or loss.
If ownership interest in an associate is reduced but signifi cant infl uence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassifi ed to profi t or loss where appropriate.
47
Cape Lambert Resources Limited
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(c) Associates
Associates are entities over which the Consolidated Entity has signifi cant infl uence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Consolidated Entity’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identifi ed on acquisition.
The Consolidated Entity’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profi ts or losses is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in statement of comprehensive income and reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Consolidated Entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Consolidated Entity and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of fi nancial position. Restricted cash relates to term deposits held with various fi nancial institutions as security for bank guarantees.
(e) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of trade receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Signifi cant fi nancial diffi culties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or fi nancial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fl ows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash fl ows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss. 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 profi t or loss.

(f) Inventories
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and fi nished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fi xed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(g) Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.
Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Plant and equipment 2.5 - 5.5 years Leasehold improvements over the period of the lease
(h) Financial Assets
Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other fi nancial assets are classifi ed into the following specifi ed categories: fi nancial assets ‘at fair value through profi t or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ fi nancial assets, and ‘loans and receivables’. The classifi cation depends on the nature and purpose of the fi nancial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The Consolidated Entity has the following fi nancial assets:
A. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS
Certain shares and options held for trading have been classifi ed as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss. Financial assets held for trading purposes are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised fi nancial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. Assets in this category are classifi ed as current assets if they are expected to be realised within 12 months otherwise they are classifi ed as non-current assets.
49
Cape Lambert Resources Limited
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(h) Financial Assets (continued)
B. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are recorded at amortised cost less impairment. Impairment is determined by review of the nature and recoverability of the loan or receivable with reference to its terms of repayments and capacity of the debtor entity to repay the debt. If the recoverable amount of a receivable is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of receivable is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss immediately. They are included in current assets, other than those with maturities greater than 12 months from reporting date which are classifi ed as non-current assets.
C. AVAILABLE FOR SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS
Available for sale fi nancial assets are those non derivative fi nancial assets, principally equity securities, that are designated as available for sale or are not classifi ed as ‘at fair value through profi t or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments or ‘loans and receivables’. Available for sale fi nancial assets are measured at cost until the investment is disposed of or determined to be impaired, at which time the gain or loss on disposal or the impairment is recognised in the profi t or loss. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months.
In the case of equity securities classifi ed as available-for-sale, a signifi cant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale fi nancial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that fi nancial asset previously recognised in profi t or loss - is reclassifi ed from equity and recognised in profi t or loss as a reclassifi cation adjustment. Impairment losses recognised in profi t or loss on equity instruments classifi ed as available-for-sale are not reversed through profi t or loss.
(i) Financial Instruments Issued by the Consolidated Entity
DEBT AND EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
Debt and equity instruments are classifi ed as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
TRANSACTION COSTS ON THE ISSUE OF EQUITY INSTRUMENTS
Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.
INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS
Interest and dividends are classifi ed as expenses or as distributions of profi t consistent with the statement of fi nancial position classifi cation of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

ANNUAL REPORT

(j) Foreign Currency
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
All foreign currency transactions occurring during the fi nancial year are recognised at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences are recognised in the profi t or loss in the period in which they arise except those exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings.
FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY
Items included in the fi nancial statements of each of the companies within the Consolidated Entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (“the functional currency”). The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Cape Lambert’s functional and presentation currency.
GROUP COMPANIES
The results and fi nancial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinfl ationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
a. assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position;
-
b. income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
-
c. all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, a proportionate share of such exchange differences is reclassifi ed to profi t or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entities and translated at the closing rate.
(k) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of fi nancial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
51
Cape Lambert Resources Limited
- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(l) Employee Benefi ts
Provision is made for benefi ts accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefi ts expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Provisions made in respect of employee benefi ts which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outfl ows to be made by the Consolidated Entity in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefi ts and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Refer also to Note 2(q) for accounting policy regarding share based payments.
(m) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifi ce of economic benefi ts is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.
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 a provision is measured using the cashfl ows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashfl ows.
When some or all of the economic benefi ts required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation.

ANNUAL REPORT

(n) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefi nite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifi able cash infl ows which are largely independent of the cash infl ows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-fi nancial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(o) Income Tax
CURRENT TAX
Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profi t or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the fi nancial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.
In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that suffi cient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profi t. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the Consolidated Entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be suffi cient taxable profi ts against which to utilise the benefi ts of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets refl ects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Consolidated Entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company/Consolidated Entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
53
Cape Lambert Resources Limited
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(o) Income Tax (continued)
The Consolidated Entity has implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated fi nancial statements.
CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX FOR THE PERIOD
Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the statement of comprehensive income except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity.
(p) Revenue recognition
SALE OF GOODS
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Consolidated Entity has transferred to the buyer the signifi cant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.
INTEREST REVENUE
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the fi nancial asset.
(q) Share-based Payments
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability and exercise restrictions.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Consolidated Entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date.
(r) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifi able area of interest where right of tenure is current. Costs associated with these identifi able areas of interests are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full in the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.

(s) Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance and for which discrete fi nancial information is available. This includes start up operations which are yet to earn revenues.
Operating segments have been identifi ed based on the information presented to the chief operating decision makers – being the executive management team.
Information about other business activities and operating segments that do not meet the quantitative criteria set out in AASB 8 “Operating Segments” are combined and disclosed in a separate category called “other”.
(t) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profi t attributable to equity holders of the Consolidated Entity, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the fi nancial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the fi gures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interests and other fi nancing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(u) Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity issued by the acquirer, and the amount of any non controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifi able net assets. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value as at the acquisition date through profi t or loss.
Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non controlling shareholders’ interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Consolidated Entity’s share of the identifi able net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the Consolidated Entity’s share of the fair value of the identifi able net assets acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income, but only after a reassessment of the identifi cation and measurement of the net assets acquired.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquiree is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with AASB 139 either in profi t or loss or in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classifi ed as equity, it shall not be remeasured.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(v) Leases
Leases in which a signifi cant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Consolidated Entity as lessee are classifi ed as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
(w) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classifi ed 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.
(x) Parent entity fi nancial information
The fi nancial information for the parent entity, Cape Lambert Resources Limited, disclosed in note 31 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated fi nancial statements, except as set out below:
INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURE ENTITIES
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the fi nancial statements of Cape Lambert Resources Limited. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s statement of comprehensive income, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
TAX CONSOLIDATION LEGISLATION
Cape Lambert Resources Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Cape Lambert Resources Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
The entities have entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly- owned entities fully compensate Cape Lambert Resources Limited for any current tax payables assumed and are compensated by Cape Lambert Resources Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Cape Lambert Resources Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly-owned entities’ fi nancial statements.
The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each fi nancial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligation to pay tax instalments.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

(y) Comparative Figures
Certain comparative fi gures have been reclassifi ed to conform to the current year’s presentation.
(z) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the fi nancial year but not distributed as balance date.
Critical Judgements in Applying the Consolidated Entity’s Accounting Policies
The Consolidated Entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by defi nition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fi nancial year are discussed below.
EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION
The Consolidated Entity’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out at Note 1(r). The application of this policy necessarily requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves may be determined. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available. If, after having capitalised expenditure, it is determined that recovery of the expenditure by future exploitation or sale is unlikely, then the relevant capitalised amount is written off in the statement of comprehensive income.
As at 30 June 2011, management have recognised impairment losses in respect of capitalised exploration and evaluation to the extent of $36,591,446.
INCOME TAXES
The Consolidated Entity is subject to income taxes in Australia and jurisdictions where it has foreign operations.
Signifi cant judgement is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Consolidated Entity estimates its tax liabilities based on the Consolidated Entity’s understanding of the tax laws in the relevant jurisdictions. Where the fi nal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
The Consolidated Entity has recognised deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent there are suffi cient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority against which the unused tax losses can be utilised. However, utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

Cape Lambert Resources Limited
Critical Judgements in Applying the Consolidated Entity’s Accounting Policies (continued)
BUSINESS COMBINATION
Signifi cant judgement is required in determining whether the acquisition of a project constitutes a business combination. The Consolidated Entity assess whether the project acquired meets the defi nition of a business as set out in AASB 3 “Business Combination”. If the project acquired falls within the prescribed defi nition of a business, it is accounted for as a business combination. Where the project acquired does not fall within the prescribed defi nition of a business, it is treated as an asset acquisition.
During the current fi nancial year, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cape Lambert Leichhardt Pty Ltd, completed the acquisition of the Leichhardt Copper project from Matrix Metals Limited (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (In Liquidation). Management have determined that the acquisition is a business combination and have made a number of assumptions in determining the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed pursuant to this business combination.
The Company’s acquisition of Pinnacle in the current year has been determined by management to be an asset acquisition.
CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
As at 30 June 2011, the fi nal payment of $80,000,000 in relation to the Company’s disposal of the Cape Lambert Iron Ore Project had not been received. In September 2010, the Company commenced legal action to recover the fi nal payment owing.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the receipt of this fi nal payment, the Company has not recognized the fi nal payment as a receivable and has not recognized as a payable the commission of $7,600,000 that will fall due in the event that the fi nal payment is received.
During the year ended 30 June 2010, the Company disposed of 100% of its interest in Cape Lambert Lady Annie Exploration Pty Ltd, the holder of the Lady Annie Project, to China Sci-Tech Holdings Limited; a Hong Kong listed Company, for $135 million. The purchase consideration includes two contingent payments of $2.5 million each, which are payable once certain production and reserve related milestones are achieved. The Company has recognised the fi rst contingent payment of $2.5 million as a receivable as at 30 June 2011. However, given that it is not certain that the remaining production and reserve related milestones will be achieved, the Company has not recognised the fi nal contingent payment as a receivable.
IMPAIRMENT
The Consolidated Entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specifi c to the Consolidated Entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amounts of the assets are determined.
As at 30 June 2011, management have recognised impairment losses in respect of those assets which had a carrying value which exceeded their recoverable amounts.

ANNUAL REPORT

Tax Consolidation
The Company and its 100% owned controlled entities have formed a tax consolidated group. Members of the Cape Lambert Group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly owned controlled entities on a pro-rata basis. The agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At balance date, the possibility of default is remote. The head entity of the tax consolidated group is Cape Lambert Resources Limited.
Tax Effect Accounting by Members of the Tax Consolidated Group
Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement provides for the allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group. Deferred taxes are allocated to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with a group allocation approach which is consistent with the principles of AASB 112 Income Taxes. The allocation of tax under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the controlled entities’ intercompany accounts with the tax consolidated group head Company, Cape Lambert Resources Limited.
In this regard the Company has assumed the benefi t of tax losses from controlled entities of Nil (2010: Nil) as of the balance date. The Company has received a payment from the controlled entities of $5,215,749 (2010: $38,026,858) as of the balance date in respect of the current year tax liability for the tax consolidated group. The nature of the tax funding agreement is such that no tax consolidation contributions by or distributions to equity participants are required.

The share options were issued for no consideration as part of their remuneration package. The share options issued were approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders on 30 November 2010. The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to Directors during the year ended 30 June 2011 was $0.10 per option. The model inputs for options granted to Directors during the year ended 30 June 2011 included:

(a) Current and non current loans to unlisted entities:
-
» The balance owing at 30 June 2011 includes an amount of $2,400,000 (30 June 2010: 2,400,000) in the form of a convertible loan note which bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The conversion option embedded in the loan note allows the Company to convert the outstanding principal and any accrued interest balance at a conversion rate which results in the Company holding a 10% interest in the borrower’s share capital post conversion. Given that the borrower is an unlisted entity, the fair value of the conversion option cannot be reliably measured. Accordingly, a nil value has been assigned to the conversion option.
-
» An amount of $3,662,787 owing from CopperCo Limited (In Liquidation) (Receivers and Managers Appointed) was repaid in full during the year ended 30 June 2011.

At inception, the conversion options embedded within the above convertible loan agreements were fair valued using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair values of the options were recognised as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss and reduced the carrying value assigned to the loans receivable balances. Subsequent to their initial recognition, the loans receivable have been measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
c) Provision for impairment of loans (including interest receivable)
The recoverability of loans provided to ASX-listed and unlisted entities (including interest receivable) have been assessed for impairment as at 30 June 2011. A provision for impairment of $2,931,025 has been recognised in respect of a loan and accumulated interest that was due for repayment in August 2011 but remains outstanding as at the date of this report.

| 242,987,407 200,148,822 |
The value of the exploration expenditure is dependent upon:
-
» the continuance of the rights to tenure of the areas of interest;
-
» the results of future exploration; and
-
» the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.
Certain of Cape Lambert’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of signifi cance to Indigenous people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.
(a) Exploration assets acquired
During the year ended 30 June 2011, Cape Lambert increased its interest in Pinnacle Group Assets Limited (“Pinnacle”) from 37.2% to 90.2%. The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition and the purchase consideration (paid and payable) has been attributed to Pinnacle’s exploration projects.
In the prior year, Cape Lambert increased its interest in Marampa Iron Ore Ltd from 35% to 100%. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the purchase consideration was attributed to the various assets held by Marampa at the acquisition date.
(b) Impairment
During the year ended 30 June 2011, Cape Lambert recognised impairment losses in respect of capitalised exploration and evaluation to the extent of $36,591,446. The impairment loss relates to Cape Lambert’s 25% interest in the Lady Loretta project which was sold in March 2011 for $30,000,000.

Capital Risk Management
The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefi ts for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Consistently with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including “borrowings” and “trade and other payables” as shown in the statement of fi nancial position) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the statement of fi nancial position plus net debt.

- 1 During the year ended 30 June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Chinese conglomerate China Metallurgical Group Corporation (“MCC”) for the sale of the tenements related to the Cape Lambert Iron Ore Project (“Project”). The sale was for total cash consideration of $400,000,000, with $80,000,000 of this amount being contingent upon MCC obtaining the grant of a mining lease and related construction approvals (“Approvals”) in respect of the Project within two years of the settlement date, 6 August 2008, or such other period as agreed upon by the Company and MCC, provided that the Company has reasonably assisted MCC with the obtaining of the Approvals.
In September 2010, the Company commenced legal action to recover the fi nal payment owing. As at 30 June 2011, the fi nal payment of $80,000,000 had not been received. Given the uncertainty surrounding the receipt of this fi nal payment, the Company has not recognised the fi nal payment owing as a receivable.
In the event that the fi nal payment is received, the Company will be liable to pay an additional commission fee of $7,600,000 to an unrelated party.
- 2 During the year ended 30 June 2010, the Company disposed of 100% of its interest in Cape Lambert Lady Annie Exploration Pty Ltd, the holder of the Lady Annie Project, to China Sci-Tech Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong listed Company, for $135 million. The purchase consideration includes two contingent payments of $2.5 million each, which are payable once certain production and reserve related milestones are achieved. The Company has recognised the fi rst contingent payment of $2.5 million as a receivable as at 30 June 2011 however given that it is not certain that the remaining production and reserve related milestones will be achieved, the Company has not recognised the fi nal contingent payment as a receivable.
There are no other material contingent liabilities to be disclosed.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Cape Lambert Group’s activities expose it to a variety of fi nancial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Cape Lambert Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of fi nancial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the fi nancial performance of the Cape Lambert Group. The Cape Lambert Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit risk. Risk management is carried out by the Board.
The Cape Lambert Group holds the following fi nancial instruments:

(a) Market Risk
(i) FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
As a result of operations based overseas, the Consolidated Entity is exposed to foreign exchange risk from commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not Cape Lambert’s functional currency.
The Consolidated Entity also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.
As at 30 June 2011, the Consolidated Entity had the following exposure to foreign currency:
| 30 June 2011 | 30 June 2010 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Financial assets: | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents - USD | $9,436,816 | $793,256 |
| Cash and cash equivalents - GBP | £21,072 | £57,710 |
| Cash and cash equivalents - EUR | €870,765 | €441,745 |
The Consolidated Entity recognised a foreign currency exchange loss for the year ended 30 June 2011 of $864,907 (2010: $68,982) as a result of translating funds held in foreign currency to Australian dollars.
Movement of 10% in the foreign currency exchange rates as at 30 June 2011, would have increased/ (decreased) the consolidated profi t by $86,490 (2010: $6,898).
Managements have set up a policy to monitor and measure this risk using sensitivity analysis and cash fl ow forecasting.

ANNUAL REPORT
==> picture [123 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
(ii) CASH FLOW INTEREST RATE RISK
The Consolidated Entity’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Consolidated Entity’s cash and cash equivalents. The Consolidated Entity is exposed to movements in market interest rates on short term deposits. The policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return.
At the reporting date, the Cape Lambert Group had the following variable rate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash:
| 30 June 2011 30 June 2010 |
|
|---|---|
| $ $ | |
| Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Weighted average interest rate |
43,096,285 135,709,067 3,626,612 3,091,973 |
| 46,722,897 138,801,040 4.34% 3.51% |
Movement of 50 basis points on the interest rate would have increased/ (decreased) the consolidated profi t by $279,891 (2010:$ 359,081).
(iii) PRICE RISK
The Cape Lambert Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held and classifi ed on the statement of fi nancial position as at fair value through profi t or loss. The Cape Lambert Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.
To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Cape Lambert Group diversifi es its portfolio which is done in accordance with the limits set by the Board of Directors.
The majority of the Cape Lambert Group’s equity investments are publicly traded and are included on the ASX 200 Index.
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss on the Cape Lambert Group’s post tax profi t for the year and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that the value of fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t and loss had increased/decreased by 10% (2010 – 10%) with all other variables held constant.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a consolidated basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and loans to other entities. The Cape Lambert Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining suffi cient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of fi nancial loss from defaults. The credit risk on fi nancial assets, excluding investments, of the Cape Lambert Group, which have been recognised on the statement of fi nancial position, is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts.
The Cape Lambert Group is exposed to credit risk as a result of subscribing to loan notes and convertible loan notes issued by listed and unlisted entities. This credit risk is managed by obtaining adequate security over the loans, generally in the form of a fi xed and fl oating charge over the assets of the borrower. Details of the loan notes and convertible loan notes to which the Cape Lambert Group had subscribed during the year are listed in notes 8.
The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings:
| 30 June 2011 | 30 June 2010 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Financial assets: | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash - AAA | 46,722,897 | 137,201,040 |
| Loans and receivables | 9,411,297 | 19,386,424 |
| Other f nancial assets | 30,325,436 | 26,634,643 |
(c) Liquidity Risk
The Cape Lambert Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash fl ows and matching the maturity profi les of fi nancial assets and liabilities.
At the reporting date, the Cape Lambert Group had no fi nancing arrangements in place.
All fi nancial liabilities are current and expected to settle within six months.
104
ANNUAL REPORT

(d) Fair Value Estimation
The fair value of fi nancial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The Directors consider that the carrying amount of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities recorded in the fi nancial statements approximates their fair values as the carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables / other receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
The following table presents the Consolidated Entity’s assets measured at fair value at 30 June 2011.

Investments in unlisted entities are classifi ed as available for sale fi nancial assets. These are traded in inactive markets and are carried at cost because their fair values cannot be reliably measured. Management have assessed impairment and no indicators of impairment exist as at 30 June 2011.

The Board of Directors
The Board’s role is to govern the Company rather than to manage it. In governing the Company, the Directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. It is the role of senior management to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and it is the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.
In carrying out its governance role, the main task of the Board is to drive the performance of the Company. The Board must also ensure that the Company complies with all of its contractual, statutory and any other legal obligations, including the requirements of any regulatory body. The Board has the fi nal responsibility for the successful operations of the Company.
To assist the Board in carrying out its functions, it has developed a Code of Conduct to guide the Directors, the Chief Executive Offi cer, the Chief Financial Offi cer and other key executives in the performance of their roles.
In general, the Board is responsible for, and has the authority to determine, all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry out the objectives of the Company. Full details of the Board’s role and responsibilities are contained in the Board Charter, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website.
Without intending to limit this general role of the Board, the principal functions and responsibilities of the Board include the following:
-
» Leadership of the Organisation: overseeing the Company and establishing codes that refl ect the values of the Company and guide the conduct of the Board;
-
» Strategy Formulation: to set and review the overall strategy and goals for the Company and ensuring that there are policies in place to govern the operation of the Company;
-
»
-

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED)
Senior Executive Remuneration Policy (Continued)
The value of shares and options were they to be granted to senior executives would be calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The objective behind using this remuneration structure is to drive improved Company performance and thereby increase shareholder value as well as aligning the interests of executives and shareholders.
The Board may use its discretion with respect to the payment of bonuses, stock options and other incentive payments.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy
Non-Executive Directors are to be paid their fees out of the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders for the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors.
Non - Executive Directors bonuses are determined by the Remuneration Committee.
Current Director Remuneration
Full details regarding the remuneration of Directors, is included in the Directors’ Report.
Nomination Committee
The role of a Nomination Committee is to help achieve a structured Board that adds value to the Company by ensuring an appropriate mix of skills are present in Directors on the Board at all times. As the whole Board only consisted of four members for the year, the Company does not have a nomination committee because it would not be a more effi cient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on these specifi c issues.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities of a Nomination Committee would include devising criteria for Board membership, regularly reviewing the need for various skills and experience on the Board and identifying specifi c individuals for nomination as Directors for review by the Board. The Nomination Committee would also oversee management succession plans including the CEO and his/her direct reports and evaluate the Board’s performance and make recommendations for the appointment and removal of Directors. Currently the Board as a whole performs this role.
Criteria for selection of Directors
Directors are appointed based on the specifi c governance skills required by the Company. Given the size of the Company and the business that it operates, the Company aims at all times to have at least one Director with relevant industry experience. In addition, Directors should have the relevant blend of personal experience in accounting and fi nancial management and Director-level business experience.
