CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present the Jameson Resources Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2012.

This year saw Jameson complete the acquisition of coal properties in two of the major metallurgical coal fields in western Canada, a key achievement in advancing the Company as a developer of metallurgical coal projects focused in western Canada.

After a lengthy Provincial review process, coal tenure and exploration approvals were granted at year end for Crown Mountain, enabling the Company to quickly move ahead with a summer drilling program.

We expect tenure and exploration approvals to be granted for Dunlevy late in calendar Q3 and look forward to initiating a drilling program shortly after on this exciting property with large resource potential in an attractive mining situation.

I wish to thank my fellow directors and management colleagues, John Holmes and Art Palm, for their strong leadership in investor relations and project development. It is this strong leadership and experience that sets us apart from many other developers. I also thank our independent directors Jeff Bennett and David Prentice for their ongoing guidance.

I must say that I was impressed with the interest shown by investors in Australia during my visit in December, and in Hong Kong and Singapore in April. I greatly appreciate the participation in the financing in December and the continued shareholder support during the second half of the year.

Although coal markets are softening with the global economic situation, the long term fundamentals for metallurgical coal remain robust and will support the advancement of our projects.

I look forward to the increased field activity in 2012 / 2013 and seeing milestones achieved.

British Columbia

Elk Valley Coal Field - Crown Mountain Project

The Crown Mountain project (“Crown Mountain” or “the Project”) is located within the Elk Valley coal field in south eastern British Columbia. Along with the Crowsnest coal field, this region is home to five of Canada’s twenty three producing coal mines. These five coal mines produce over 21 million tonnes per annum of export quality metallurgical and thermal coal, over 70% of Canada’s total coal exports, making the Elk Valley coal fields the most fertile in the nation.

Crown Mountain sits in the heart of this lucrative production hub in close proximity to two significant metallurgical coal mines, Line Creek which is 12km to the north, and Elkview which is 8km to the southwest (Figure 2). The Project includes five granted coal licences (418150, 418151, 418152, 418153 and 418154) covering an area of 2,588 hectares (Table 1). All licenses are in good standing.

Figure 2: Crown Mountain Coal License Locations

On June 25, 2012, the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines approved and issued the Company’s Notice of Work application along with other associated permits. The approvals will allow the Company to drill up to 33 holes from 22 drill sites with the primary objective being to confirm coal quality, seam thickness and acquire all necessary data for resource estimation purposes.

Drilling will target the North and South prospect areas on coal licenses 418150 and 418151. Previous exploration within these two areas has intersected coal seams ranging in thickness from 0.5m to 7.5m. The seams are part of the Mist Mountain Formation and appear to correlate with the No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 seams, all of which are mined at the Line Creek Mine situated 12km north of Crown Mountain.

Drill holes are designed to penetrate the entire coal bearing stratigraphic sequence and will be terminated in the (Moose Mountain Formation, a basal sandstone unit). Drilling will be undertaken using a multi-purpose track-mounted rig with holes ranging in depth from 120m to 225m. Down-hole geophysics will be undertaken on all holes. Coal quality test work will be carried out on selected samples and will include proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, petrography, washability and a selection of other tests for metallurgical coal.

5. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Other exploration activities including mapping and additional geological modelling will be undertaken as part of the program. Baseline environmental monitoring including hydrology, surface water quality, wild life and fisheries studies will be undertaken as the project advances.

The approved drilling program commenced 9th August 2012 and is expected to be finished by midSeptember. Resource modelling activities will be undertaken by the Company’s technical consultants Norwest Corporation as soon as all coal quality data has been received. The Company expects to file its inaugural JORC/NI43-101 compliant resource for the Crown Mountain Project by the end of 2012.

Peace River Coal Fields – Dunlevy, Graham River, Carbon East and Peace Reach projects

In October 2011, Jameson entered into a sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) to acquire Dunlevy Energy Inc. (“Dunlevy”) which included the Dunlevy coal project (“Dunlevy Project”). In addition, the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent to acquire certain assets of Nexx Coal Inc. (“Nexx”) which included the Graham River, Peace Reach and Carbon East coal projects, (“Nexx Projects”) located in northeast British Columbia, Canada.

The Projects overlie the northwest extension of the Peace River coal fields district of northeast British Columbia (Figure 5). Some of Canada’s major coking coal and PCI coal mines (Willow Creek, Brule, Wolverine and Trend) are located along strike from the property. Major resource projects including Cardero Resource Corp’s Carbon Creek Project and Canadian Kailuan Dehua’s Gething Project are located within 15 km of the Dunlevy Project area.

Figure 5: Peace River Projects – Location Plan

The Peace River projects are located in a well-developed area, approximately 90 km from Fort St. John, a regional commercial centre. All weather roads and good quality secondary roads link the Projects to Fort St. John and Chetwynd, where Canadian National Railway’s track is located. The rail leads to the Westshore, Neptune and Ridley coal terminals. There is also potential to reduce transportation costs by utilising waterways bordering the property to transport coal by barge to rail access.

Exploration in what is now known as the Peace Reach area of Williston Lake (immediately upstream of Peace River canyon) dates back to the 1700’s when the Peace River served as a major transportation corridor for fur traders. By 1910, the economic potential for coal within the Peace River region was noted through government funded geological expeditions. Subsequently, there has been relatively continuous geological interest, common to both industry and government that centred largely on the oil, gas and coal potential.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (Continued)

5. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The present Dunlevy Project coal license applications comprise selected portions of what was once known as the Dunlevy Project (Utah Mines Ltd) and the Williston Property (Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas Ltd.). Only minor exploration including geological mapping, prospecting, and drilling was undertaken within the project area. Utah Mines Ltd completed 1 diamond drill hole totaling 246 metres on the east limb of the Dunlevy Creek syncline. The hole was drilled to test the Gething Formation. It is unclear whether the hole actually intersected the Gething Formation. Hudson’s Bay Oil and Gas Ltd. and Cyprus Anvil Mining Corp. drill tested parts of the Dunlevy Creek syncline with 8 holes totalling 1,256 metres. All of these holes were drilled outside and to the south east of the Project boundary. The holes appear to have tested the stratigraphic interval below the Gething Formation in what is known as the Cadomin Formation. At that time access to the current coal target area was limited; subsequently, however, new forestry roads have been cut across the coal measures exposing multiple occurrences. The Gething coal measures are recessive and generally have a cover of unconsolidated overburden that limits bedrock exposure.

In 2009 Dunlevy Energy Inc. completed reconnaissance field work over the Dunlevy Project including hand trenches and exposed a number of separate occurrences of potential economic interest. A total of 53 hand trenches were completed along new and existing road cuts and trails exposing coal seams of potential economic thickness. Mapping from these trenches yielded 9 coal occurrences ranging in thickness from 0.8m to 3.5m. As these samples were weathered, assessment of any metallurgical coal properties could not be accurately determined.

Jameson plans to commence drilling and other exploration activities as soon as regulatory approvals are in place. Prior to licenses being issued, the Company plans to undertake low impact exploration activities which are permitted under the British Columbia Mines Act. Activities will include geological mapping and hand trenching at selected locations within all the Peace River Projects.

Additional mapping will be carried out over northern parts of the Dunlevy project. The objective of the mapping and trenching program over the Carbon East, Peace Reach and Graham River projects will be to determine coal seam thickness and geological structure in preparation for the lodgment of a Notice of Work to undertake initial drill testing. Coal seams of appreciable thickness have been exposed in forestry road cuts at Carbon East. Proximate analysis and reflectance will be undertaken on selected samples from the hand trenches.

5. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Saskatchewan – Red Earth Coal Project

Jameson through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary NWP Coal Canada Ltd (“NWPC”) entered into a sale and option agreement with Saturn Minerals Inc. (“Saturn”) on its Red Earth coal project (“Red Earth Project”) located in eastern Saskatchewan, Canada.

The Red Earth Project, which includes six granted Coal Prospecting Permits (“CPPs”) is 4,608 hectares in size and comprised predominantly of farmland. It is located approximately 30 km from the town of Carrot River, Saskatchewan, approximately 25 km from rail and immediately adjacent to paved provincial Highway 55.

The Red Earth Project was acquired by Saturn in 2008 based on the underlying trend of Mannville Group sediments which, since 2009, have been proven by Saturn and other area operators to host previously unknown coal seams of unusual thickness. Westcan Goldfields Inc. has conducted a drilling program to the east of the Red Earth Project and reported several coal intersections. No drilling had previously been performed on the Red Earth Project prospect.

Since 2010 Saturn has completed over 241 line-km of airborne GeoTEM and 744 line-km of airborne gravity survey over the Red Earth Project property to assess coal exploration potential with respect to through-faulting and karstification-related geological settings favourable for development of longlasting coal-forming paleo-environments. These airborne surveys have identified several geophysical anomalies on the Red Earth Project property that display characteristics similar to the latest Mannville Group coal discoveries that indicate advanced exploration is merited, including drilling.

Jameson’s majority partner in the Red Earth Coal Project, Saturn Minerals, drilled three reconnaissance exploration holes in 2012. These holes were intended to determine correlation between the actual geology encountered and previous airborne survey results. All holes intersected strata indicative of the coal bearing formation targeted, though no significant coal thickness was intersected.

No additional drilling at Red Earth is planned in the short term, as Jameson focuses on the upcoming drilling on its metallurgical coal targets in British Columbia. Saturn Minerals and Jameson have agreed to extend the Red Earth Coal Prospecting Permits to allow full evaluation of the exploration results. These Coal Prospecting Permits are expected to convert to Coal Licences before the expiry of the extensions that were effective 1 April 2012. Jameson now holds a 20% interest in the project.

6. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

During the year the Company raised a total of $9.1 million (before associated costs) via the following:

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • $1.34 million via a placement of 11.2 million fully paid ordinary shares at $0.12 each; $1.78 million from a fully underwritten entitlements issue to existing shareholders at $0.10 each; and

  • $6.0 million as part of a placement in 2 tranches to sophisticated and professional investors at $0.20 per share.

175,000 unlisted options expiring 31 May 2012 and exercisable at $0.35 lapsed unexercised, and 5,000,000 performance shares issued to shareholders of NWPC Pty Ltd will not convert into fully paid ordinary shares as completion of milestones associated with the Basin Coal project cannot now be achieved and therefore have expired.

During the year the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire Dunlevy Energy Inc. which includes the Dunlevy coal project (“Dunlevy Project”). In addition the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent to acquire certain assets of Nexx Coal Inc (“Nexx”) which includes the Graham River, Peace Reach and Carbon East coal projects (“Nexx Projects”) located in northeast British Columbia, Canada. Further details on the relevant acquisition terms are detailed in the Entitlements Issue Prospectus dated 11 November 2011 and ASX anouncements dated 20 October 2011 and 10 November 2011.

Mr David Fawcett was appointed as Non-Executive Chairman and a member of the Board effective 23 December 2011.

Other than detailed in the Review of Operations and stated above, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial year.

7. AFTER BALANCE DATE EVENTS

On 10 August 2012, the Company announced the commencement of drilling on its Crown Mountain coal project.

On 20 September 2012, the Company announced an expanded drill program of 8 – 10 additional drill holes on the Crown Mountain coal project in addition to the existing 25 holes. The expansion is as a result of the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines approving an additional Notice of Work.

Other than as detailed above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

The Company does not have a formally constituted audit committee as the board considers that the Company’s size and type of operation do not warrant such a committee.

9. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Jameson is focusing project generation activities on the coal sector in Western Canada and to this end the Company is currently evaluating several high quality metallurgical and thermal coal opportunities. The Company is aiming to enhance its profile and strength through the acquisition or joint venture of one of these projects.

10. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Company is aware of its environmental obligations with regards to its exploration activities and ensures that it complies with all regulations when carrying out any exploration work. The directors of the Company are not aware of any breach of environmental regulations for the year under review.

The directors have considered the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Company for the current or subsequent financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

11.

11. REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited and Continued)

The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. No incentive bonuses, shares or options were granted or provided to directors or executives during the current financial year. A Performance Rights Plan (PRP) was implemented by the Board and approved by shareholders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting. A total of 10.4 million Performance Rights were issued to directors during the year with vesting conditions linked to the Company’s key projects. Numbers granted are detailed in Note 15(fc) of the Company’s financial statements and vesting conditions are also outlined in Note 15(g).

The executive directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes method.

The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is currently at $250,000 as approved by shareholders at a General Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company are able to participate in executive / employee incentive plans (such as the PRP referred to above) if deemed relevant and appropriate.

Performance based remuneration

The Company currently has no performance based remuneration component built into director and executive remuneration packages.

Company performance, shareholder wealth, and director’s and executive’s remuneration

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders and directors and executives. Previously this was facilitated through the issue of options to the majority of directors and executives to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. These however expired during the year and due to changes in taxation legislation the Company believed continuing this policy would be ineffective in aligning shareholder and director interests. A Performance Rights Plan ("PRP”) was therefore implemented with individual performance rights issued and linked to the achievement of milestones in the Company’s key projects. Given the recent issuance of the Performance Rights and that the Crown Mountain, Dunlevy and Nexx projects have not yet reached a stage to trigger the vesting conditions, these milestones still remain realistic and achievable, and the performance incentives provided to the board remain effective in aligning shareholder and director interests.

For details of directors and executives interests in shares, options and performance rights during and at year end, refer Note 15 of the financial statements.

Employment contracts of key management personnel

For details of service agreements between key management personnel and Jameson Resources Limited, refer Note 15 of the financial statements.

(a) Compensation of Key Management Personnel

Remuneration Policy

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing compensation arrangements for the executive team and reporting its recommendations to the Board for final determination. The Remuneration Committee will assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team. Remuneration of Key Management Personnel is set out below.

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law.

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis unless otherwise stated.

The Company is a listed public company, incorporated and operating in Australia. The entity’s principal activities are mineral exploration.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

(b) Adoption of new and revised standards

Changes in accounting policies on initial application of Accounting Standards

In the year ended 30 June 2012, the Group has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

It has been determined by the Directors that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change is necessary to Group accounting policies.

The Group has also reviewed all new Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2012. As a result of this review, the Directors have determined that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations on its business and, therefore, no change necessary to Group accounting policies.

(c) Statement of Compliance

The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 September 2012.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(d) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The application of accounting policies requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Share-based payment transactions:

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black and Scholes model, using the assumptions detailed in Note 17.

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled share-based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black and Scholes formula taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted, as discussed in Note 17.

The fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding fair value liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each balance date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(e) Revenue Recognition

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

Interest income

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

Jameson Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(g)

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within periods ranging from 15 days to 30 days.

(h)

Impairment of assets

The Group assesses at each balance date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account.

The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

(ii) Financial assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

(iii) Available-for-sale investments

If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the statement of comprehensive income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument's fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(i) Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

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

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(j) Other taxes

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

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

  • receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

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

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

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(k) Plant and equipment

  • Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

Plant and equipment – over 5 to 15 years (straight line basis)

Computer equipment – 3 years (diminishing value)

Leasehold improvements – term of the lease (straight line basis)

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

For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset's value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating units exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.

For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the cost of sales line item.

(ii) Derecognition and disposal

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

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

(l) Financial assets

Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

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

m) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.

33

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(n) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate assets but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.

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

(o) Employee leave benefits

Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

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

(p) Share-based payment transactions

Equity settled transactions:

The Group provides benefits to employees (including senior executives) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equitysettled transactions).

There is currently an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) in place to provide these benefits to directors, senior executives and employees.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a Black-Scholes model, further details of which are given in Note 16.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Jameson Resources (market conditions), if applicable.

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

The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects:

  • (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and

(ii) the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date. The statement of comprehensive income charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

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

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(p) Share-based payment transactions (continued)

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share (see Note 20).

(q) Issued capital

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

(r) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

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

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

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

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

  • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(s) Exploration and evaluation

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

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

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

  • (a) the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively,

  • (b) by its sale; or

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

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

Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the exploration and evaluation asset (for the cash generating unit(s) to which it has been allocated being no larger than the relevant area of interest) is estimated to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in previous years.

Jameson Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(s) Exploration and evaluation (continued)

Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified to development.

(t) Foreign currency translation

Both the functional and presentation currency of Jameson Resources Limited and its Australian subsidiaries is Australian dollars. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date.

All exchange differences in the consolidated financial report are taken to profit or loss with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss.

Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also recognised in equity. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

The functional currency of the foreign operations, NWP Coal Canada and Dunlevy Energy Inc is Canadian dollars, “CAD”.

As at the balance date the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Jameson Resources Limited at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance date and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity, being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss.

In addition, in relation to the partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over a subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are reattributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

(u) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Jameson Resources Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year (the Group). Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control exists where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The acquisition of subsidiaries has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the results of subsidiaries for the period from their acquisition.

NOTE 16. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

At 30 June 2012, Jameson Resources Limited had 2 (2011:1) employees.

Employee Incentive Option Plan

The Company’s Employee Incentive Scheme provides for the Board to elect to offer Options to an employee having regard to the potential contribution of the employee to the Company and any other matters the Board considers relevant.

Each option is convertible to one ordinary share. The exercise price of the options, determined in accordance with the Rules of the Scheme, is the price determined by the Board and advised to the employee when Options are offered to the employee.

All options expire on the earlier of their termination date or 30 days following termination of the employee's employment. Options vest on granting, however exercise can be conditional upon the Company achieving certain performance hurdles as determined by the Board of directors.

There are no voting or dividend rights attaching to the options. There are no voting rights attaching to the unissued ordinary shares. Voting rights will be attached to the unissued ordinary shares when the options have been exercised.

Director options were previously issued under this scheme however these have all cancelled or expired. Details of shares and options issued to Directors are included in the Remuneration Report.

Options

Options have previously been issued to directors and executives as part of their compensation under the Company’s Option Incentive Scheme. The options issued may be subject to performance criteria, and were issued to all directors of Jameson Resources to increase goal congruence between executives, directors and shareholders. The Company’s Option Incentive Scheme was approved by shareholders at the 2009 Annual General Meeting. In addition, options have previously been issued to consultants of the Company for their services rendered. Any options issued under this scheme have subsequently been cancelled or lapsed and the Company has now replaced the scheme with a Performance Rights Plan.

Performance Rights

During the year ended 30 June 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the issue of 10,400,000 performance rights to the Directors of the Company. The total value of the performance rights issued is $608,400 and will be allocated across the vesting period, (2012: $102,180). The fair value of the performance rights granted was estimated as at the date of grant using the market value at that date, the probability of the relevant market conditions being met and the expected length of the vesting period.

NOTE 18. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

Key management personnel

Disclosures relating to key management personnel are set out in Note 15 and the Directors’ Report.

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, currency risk and interest rate risk.

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short term deposits. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Group. The Group also has other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the period under review, it has been the Group’s policy not to trade in financial instruments.

(a) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

The Group 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. The Group does not have short or long term debt, and therefore this risk is minimal.

(b) Currency Risk

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commitments, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency that is not he functional currency of the Group. The Group deposits are denominated in both Canadian and Australian dollars. At the year end the majority of deposits were held in Canadian dollars. Currently there are no foreign exchange programs in place. The Group treasury function manages the purchase of foreign currency to meet operational requirements. The impact of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates for the Group is not material.

(c) Interest Rate Risk

The table below reflects the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other financial instruments. As such, the amounts might not reconcile to the statement of financial position.

Net fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity.

(i) Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

At 30 June 2012, the effect on loss and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variable remaining constant would be as follows:

2012
$
2011
$
CHANGE IN LOSS Change Change
Increase in interest rate by1% (20,608) (14,673)
Decrease in interest rate by1% 20,608 14,673
CHANGE IN EQUITY Change Change
Increase in interest rate by1% (20,608) (14,673)
Decrease in interest rate by1% 20,608 14,673

(d) Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Group operates in the mining explorer sector; it therefore does not have trade receivables and is not exposed to credit risk in relation to trade receivables. The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar characteristics.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at each balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts, of those assets as indicated in the statement of financial position. The maximum credit risk exposure of the Group at 30 June 2012 is $82,517 (2011: $185,682). There are no impaired receivables at 30 June 2012 (2011: Nil).

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2012

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued)

(e) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows on a rolling monthly basis. The Group does not have any significant liquidity risk as the Group does not have any collateral debts.

(f) Capital Management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit facilities and therefore is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements, with the primary source of Group funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Group’s capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the requirements to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. This is achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

(g) Fair value of financial instruments

As of 1 July 2011, Jameson Resources has adopted the amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures which require disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)

  • inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly ( derived from prices) (level 2), and

  • inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

Assets classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are considered level 1.

NOTE 22. SEGMENT REPORTING

Jameson Resources Limited operates predominantly in one industry being the mining and exploration industry in Australia and Canada.

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Company is managed primarily on the basis of its coal exploration in Canada and its corporate activities. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics.

Types of reportable segments

(i) Coal exploration

Segment assets, including acquisition cost of exploration licenses and all expenses related to the tenements in Canada are reported on in this segment.

NOTE 22. SEGMENT REPORTING (continued)

(ii) Corporate

Corporate, including treasury, corporate and regulatory expenses arising from operating an ASX listed entity. Segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and investments in financial assets are reported in this segment.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Company.

Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, deferred tax assets and intangible assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Jameson Resources Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Jameson Resources Limited (“the company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration for the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity comprises the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In Note 1(c), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements , that the consolidated financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

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

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

Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or management.

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

Independence

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

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

Corporate Governance Statement

The Company is committed to implementing the highest standards of corporate governance. In determining what those high standards should involve the Company has turned to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations . The Company is pleased to advise that the Company’s practices are largely consistent with those ASX guidelines. As consistency with the guidelines has been a gradual process, where the Company did not have certain policies or committees recommended by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (the Council) in place during the reporting year, we have identified such policies or committees.

Where the Company’s corporate governance practices do not correlate with the practices recommended by the Council, the Company is working towards compliance however it does not consider that all the practices are appropriate for the Company due to the size and scale of Company operations. A checklist summarising the Company’s compliance with the Recommendations is also set out at the end of this statement. The table does not provide the full text of each recommendation but rather the topic covered.

Details of all of the recommendations can be found on the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s website at http://www.asx.com.au/about/CorporateGovernance_AA2.shtm

PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

1.1 Role of the Board

Board Charter

The Board is accountable to shareholders for the performance of the Company. The Board operates under the Board Charter that details its functions, responsibilities and powers and those delegated to management.

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 the senior executives to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and 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 final responsibility for the successful operations of the Company. The Board charter can be located on the Company’s website (www.jamesonresources.com.au).

On appointment, non-executive directors receive formal letters of appointment setting out the terms and conditions of appointment. The formal letter of appointment covers the matters referred to in the guidance and commentary for Recommendation 1.1. Executive directors are employed pursuant to employment agreements.

To assist the Board carry out its functions, it has developed a Code of Conduct to guide the Directors, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer (Managing Director), the Chief Financial Officer and other key executives in the performance of their roles. The Code of Conduct addresses the maintenance of the confidence in the Company’s integrity, legal obligations and expectations of shareholders, responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical behaviour. The Company’s Code of Conduct is located on its website (www.jamesonresources.com.au).

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

2.1 Composition of the Board

The Board consists of a Non-Executive Chairman, two Executive Directors (Managing Director, and Executive Director of Operations), and two Non-Executive Directors. Details of their skills, experience and expertise and the period of office held by each director have been included in the Directors’ Report. The number of board meetings and the attendance of the directors are set out in the Directors’ Report.

The roles of Chairman and the Managing Director are not exercised by the same individual. The role of Managing Director is carried out by Executive Director, Mr Holmes. The Board Charter summarises the roles and responsibilities of the Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Fawcett, and the Managing Director, Mr Holmes.

2.2 Independence of non-executive directors and the Chairman of the Board

The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors and the external perspective and advice that Non-Executive Directors can offer. The Board has assessed the independence of the Non-Executive Directors and the Chairman using defined criteria of independence and materiality consistent with the guidance and commentary for Recommendation 2.1.

65

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE (Continued)

Mr Jeff Bennett and Mr David Prentice are Non-Executive Directors and are independent Directors as they meet the following criteria for independence adopted by the Company:

An Independent Director is a Non-Executive Director and:

  • is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;

  • has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

  • within the last three years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company or another group member or an employee materially associated with the service provided;

  • is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; and

  • has no material contractual relationship with the Company or other group member other than as a Director of the Company.

The Chairman, Mr David Fawcett does not satisfy the tests of independence as detailed in the Recommendations by virtue of his material contractual relationship with the Company and vested interest in the Dunlevy and Nexx projects. The Company however believes that Mr Fawcett’s skills and knowledge relating to these material projects outweigh any Corporate Governance risks associated with non-independence. The Company is of the view that the size and scale of its current operations do not warrant the appointment of an independent chairperson and that non-compliance with this Recommendation 2.2 will not be detrimental to the Company.

Mr John Holmes is the Managing Director of the Company and does not meet the Company’s criteria for independence and Mr T Art Palm is an Executive Director and also does not meet the Company’s criteria for independence.

The Company therefore does not comply with Recommendations 2.1 and 2.2 of the Principles of Good Corporate Governance, however it believes that the current Board represents the best mix of directors that have an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise, can understand and competently deal with current and emerging business issues and can effectively review and challenge the performance of the Company.

2.2 Responsibilities of the Board

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. The responsibilities of the board are defined within the Company’s board charter which can be located on the Company website.

2.3 Nomination Committee

The Company does not have an existing Nomination Committee as recommended in Recommendation 2.4. As the whole Board only consists of five (5) members, it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues.

2.4 Criteria for selection of Directors

Directors are appointed based on the specific 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 two Directors with experience appropriate to the Company’s target market. In addition, Directors should have the relevant blend of personal experience in accounting and financial management and Director-level business experience. The Board is responsible for implementing a program to identify, assess and enhance director competencies and puts in place succession plans to ensure an appropriate mix of skills, experience, expertise and diversity are maintained on the Board. The Company’s Director Selection Procedure is located on its website.

2.5 Board renewal and succession planning

The appointment of directors is governed by the Company’s Constitution and the Appointment and Selection of New Directors policy. In accordance with the Constitution of the Company, no director except a Managing Director shall hold office for a continuous period in excess of three years or past the third annual general meeting following the director's appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting for re-election. The Company has not adopted a policy in relation to the retirement or tenure of directors.

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE (Continued)

2.6 Evaluation of the performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors

The performance of the Board and individual directors are evaluated in accordance with the Performance Evaluation Policies introduced via Board Charter. The objective of this evaluation is to provide best practice corporate governance to the Company. The Board Performance Evaluation Policy is available at the Company’s website. The appointment of the Company Secretary is a matter for the Board. Information on the skills, experience and qualifications of the Company Secretary can be found in the Directors’ Report.

2.7 Induction and education

When appointed to the Board, a new director will receive an induction appropriate to their experience. Directors may participate in continuing education to update and enhance their skills and knowledge from time to time, as considered appropriate.

2.8 Access to information and advice

Directors are entitled to request and receive such additional information as they consider necessary to support informed decision-making. The Board also has a policy under which individual directors and Board committees may obtain independent professional advice at the Company’s expense in relation to the execution of their duties, after consultation with the Chairman.

PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING

3.1 Code of Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct which applies to all directors and officers of the Company. It sets out Jameson Resources commitment to successfully conducting the business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations while demonstrating and promoting the highest ethical standards. The Code of Conduct reflects the matters set out in the commentary and guidance for Recommendation 3.1.

3.2 Trading in Company Shares

On 29 December 2010 the Board reviewed and adopted a new Share Trading Policy which included restrictions on trading in closed periods, complying with the ASX Listing Rule requirements. The Board periodically reminds Directors, senior executives and employees of the prohibition in the Corporations Act 2001 concerning trading in the Company’s securities when in possession of “inside information”. The Board also periodically reminds Directors of their obligations to notify the Company Secretary of any trade in securities to ensure that ASX Listing Rule requirements are met. The Company’s Share Trading Policy is located on its website

3.3 Conflicts of Interest

Directors must:

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

  • disclose to the Board actual or potential conflicts of interest that may or might reasonably be thought to exist between the interests of the Director and the interests of any other parties in carrying out the activities of the Company; and

  • if requested by the Board, within seven days or such further period as may be permitted, take such necessary and reasonable steps to remove any conflict of interest.

If a Director cannot or is unwilling to remove a conflict of interest, then the Director must, as per the Corporations Act , absent himself or herself from the room when discussion and/or voting occurs on matters about which the conflict relates.

A register of Conflicts of Interest is tabled at every Board meeting.

3.4 Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions include any financial transaction between a Director and the Company. Unless there is an exemption under the Corporations Act from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the related party transaction, the Board cannot approve the transaction.

A register of Related Parties is tabled at every Board meeting.

3.5 Diversity Policy

Due to its size and scale of operations, the Company does not have an existing diversity policy as recommended in Recommendation 3.2. The Executive Directors are currently the Company’s only permanent employees.

There are no permanent women employees in the organisation, in senior executive positions or on the Board. Ms Foreman is the current the Company Secretary on a consultancy contact.

67

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING (Continued)

Details of each of the Board members and Company Secretary are disclosed in the Directors’ Report.

The Board has determined that the composition of the current Board represents the best mix of directors that have an appropriate range of qualifications and expertise, can understand and competently deal with current and emerging business issues and can effectively review and challenge the performance of the Company. As the Company’s operations grow and evolve, the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of implementing a diversity policy.

PRINCIPLE 4: SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

4.1 Audit Committee

Due to the size and scale of operations of the Company the full Board undertakes the role of the Audit Committee. Below is a summary of the role and responsibilities of an Audit Committee.

As the whole Board only consists of five (5) members, the Company does not have an audit committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues and an audit committee cannot be justified based on a cost-benefit analysis. However, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the Board will move towards setting up an audit committee once the Directors consider the size and scale of the Company’s activities warrant a separate committee.

In the absence of an audit committee, the Board sets aside time to deal with issues and responsibilities usually delegated to the audit committee to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the external auditor. The Board is therefore responsible for reviewing the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and overseeing the independence of the external auditors.

The Audit Committee, or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company, reviews the audited annual and half-yearly financial statements and any reports which accompany published financial statements and recommends their approval to the members.

4.2 External auditor

The Audit and Risk Committee, or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company, reviews the external auditor’s terms of engagement and audit plan, and assesses the independence of the external auditor. The current practice, subject to amendment in the event of legislative change, is for the rotation of the engagement partner to occur every five years.

The Company’s independent external auditor is HLB Mann Judd (“Mann Judd”).

PRINCIPLE 5: MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

The Continuous Disclosure Policy sets out the key obligations of the directors and employees in relation to continuous disclosure as well as the Company’s obligations under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The Policy also provides procedures for internal notification and external disclosure, as well as procedures for promoting understanding of compliance with the disclosure requirements for monitoring compliance. The Board has designated the Company Secretary as the person responsible for overseeing and coordinating disclosure of information to the ASX as well as communicating with the ASX.

The Policy reflects the matters set out in the commentary and guidance for Recommendation 5.1. The Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on Jameson Resources website.

PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

The Shareholder Communications Policy sets out the Company’s aims and practices in respect of communicating with both current and prospective shareholders. The Policy reinforces the Company’s commitment to promoting investor confidence by requiring:

  • (a) compliance with the continuous disclosure obligations;

  • (b) compliance with insider trading laws;

  • (c) compliance with financial reporting obligations;

  • (d) compliance with shareholder meeting requirements, including the provision of an opportunity for shareholders and other stakeholders to hear from and put questions to the Board, management and auditor of the Company;

  • (e) communication with shareholders in a clear, regular, timely and transparent manner; and

  • (f) response to shareholder queries in a prompt and courteous manner.

68

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS (Continued)

The Policy reflects the matters set out in the commentary and guidance for Recommendation 6.1. The Shareholder Communications Policy is available on Jameson Resources website.

PRINCIPLE 7: RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

7.1 Risk Management Policy

Jameson Resources recognises that risk is inherent to any business activity and that managing risk effectively is critical to the immediate and future success of the Company. As a result, the Board has adopted a Risk Management Policy which sets out the Company’s system of risk oversight, management of material business risks and internal control. The Board sets aside time at meetings to discuss any risk management issues and Directors are encouraged to give priority to such issues.

7.2 Risk oversight

The Board’s Charter clearly establishes that it is responsible for ensuring there is a sound system for overseeing and managing risk. As the whole Board only consists of five (5) members, the Company does not have a Risk Management Committee because it would not be a more efficient mechanism than the full Board for focusing the Company on specific issues. At the date of this report the full Board of the Company is responsible for establishing policies on risk oversight and management.

7.3 Reporting and assurance

In the absence of an Audit Committee, the Board sets aside time to deal with issues and responsibilities usually delegated to the Audit Committee to ensure the integrity of the financial statements of the Company and the independence of the external auditor.

As detailed in responsibilities of the Audit Committee, the full Board of the Company reviews the audited annual and half-yearly financial statements and any reports which accompany published financial statements and recommends their approval to the members. The Audit Committee, or as at the date of this report the full Board of the Company, is also responsible for establishing policies on risk oversight and management.

The Board has received assurance from the Chair, Company Secretary and the Managing Director that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

The Risk Management Policy is available on the Jameson Resources website.

PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY

8.1 Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee has delegated responsibilities in relation to the Company’s remuneration policies as set out in the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter. The Charter reflects the matters set out in the commentary and guidance for Recommendation 8.1.

8.1.1 Role

The role of a Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities in respect of establishing appropriate remuneration levels and incentive policies for employees.

The Remuneration Committee consists of three (3) non-executive directors, being Mr Jeff Bennett, Mr David Prentice, Mr David Fawcett and the Company Secretary. The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee is Mr Jeff Bennett, an independent director. The Remuneration Committee was formed on 28 August 2012 and met once subsequent to the financial year end 30 June 2012 and each member was present at all meetings.

69

Annual Report 2012

Jameson Resources Limited

Corporate Governance Statement (Continued) PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY (Continued)

8.1.2 Responsibilities

The responsibilities of a Remuneration Committee include setting policies for senior officers’ remuneration, setting the terms and conditions of employment for the Managing Director, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on the Company’s incentive schemes and superannuation arrangements, reviewing the remuneration of both Executive and Non-Executive Directors, recommendations for remuneration by gender and making recommendations on any proposed changes and undertaking reviews of the Managing

Director’s performance, including, setting with the Managing Director goals and reviewing progress in achieving those goals.

8.3 Non-executive directors’ remuneration policy

The structure of non-executive directors’ remuneration is not currently clearly distinguished from that of executives.

Remuneration for non-executive directors is fixed. 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. NonExecutive Directors also receive long term incentives in the form of shares or options in the Company. NonExecutive Directors are also entitled to but not necessarily paid statutory superannuation.

The Performance Rights Plan and Employee Share Option Plan are used by the Company as part of the remuneration planning for both executive and non-executive Directors and employees. The Corporate Governance Guidelines and Recommendations recommend that non-executive directors should not receive options or participate in schemes designed for the remuneration of executives. Although the use of the Performance Rights Plan and Employee Share Option Plan as part of the remuneration planning for nonexecutive Directors is not in accordance with Recommendation 8.3, the Company considers that it is appropriate for non-executive Directors to be granted Performance Rights and Options having regard to the Company’s current circumstances including its size and stage of operations.

8.4 Executive directors’ remuneration policy

As noted previously, executive directors are employed pursuant to employment agreements. Summaries of these employment agreements are set out in the Remuneration Report.

Further details regarding the remuneration arrangements of the Company are set out in the Remuneration Report.
