A letter from the Chairman

KGL has had a successful year, achieving the objectives that the board sought more than a year ago and moving the Jervois Project steadily towards the goal of becoming an assured low cost copper and multimetal producer. In particular, exploration results at the Rockface prospect have been outstanding.

==> picture [92 x 92] intentionally omitted <==

Early last year, directors changed strategic direction, deciding to defer the development of the Jervois project in favour of further intensive exploration. Priority has been given to improving the size and particularly the grade of the Resource in order to achieve at Jervois one of the world’s lowest cost rankings before moving to mine development.

Exploration focussed on the highly prospective Rockface prospect which previously had hardly figured in the known Resource at Jervois with just 2% of its copper. Drilling during the year revealed that high grade mineralisation at Rockface extends from the surface to a depth of more than 650 metres, creating the potential for both open pit and underground mining. Grades of 1% to 2% copper for the first 5 to 10 metres below the surface give way to wide intervals at grades that increase with depth. By way of illustration, they include 9 metres at 2.9% copper from 284m, 16m @ 3.3% copper from 362m, 14m @ 8.9% copper from 436m, 9m @ 11.5% copper from 535m, and 10m @ 9% copper from 645m.

The newly discovered Rockface mineralisation is easily amenable to treatment, metallurgical testing during the year confirming good recovery and concentrate grade.

The use of modern, cost efficient exploration methods has been a key to KGL’s success at Rockface. Down Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying has identified target areas (conductors) which have then been successfully drilled. This consistently reliable technology has led us progressively deeper into wide intervals of higher grade copper, and recently directed us to additional prospective zones to the east.

The reductions in corporate costs introduced early last year have been maintained and, together with the highly effective exploration technologies, have enabled us to extend the application of precious capital and direct it overwhelmingly to value-adding exploration.

Directors have strongly preferred to approach shareholders for necessary capital in order to minimise dilution. The $3 million entitlement completed in January 2016 carried KGL well into 2017 supplemented by $3 million in R & D Tax Incentive refunds from the Federal Government in acknowledgement of KGL’s innovative metallurgical work. A share purchase plan for shareholders raised another $2.48 million in March 2017.

During the same month KGL also successfully funded the acquisition of a highly prospective tenement north of the Reward prospect through a $1m placement which will also be used towards immediate exploration works. A strike extension from Marshall-Reward, the location of the main currently known resource at Jervois, runs into the new tenement where previous

exploration has found high grade copper. The geological similarities to Jervois make the expanded territory strategically valuable with the potential to increase the ultimate overall mining project.

In March 2017, the Northern Territory Government awarded Jervois the status of a major project through the signing of a Project Facilitation Agreement. This will help us to negotiate government processes as we advance towards project development. Among them will be the Environmental Impact Statement which should be lodged with the Government for approval late in 2017 or early 2018.

We recognise the importance of building good relationships with traditional land owners at Jervois. During the year, we entered into an Indigenous Land Use Agreement after negotiations with the traditional land owners and the Central Land Council. The ILUA is currently with the National Native Title Tribunal for registration. An Authority Certificate from the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority in the Northern Territory has also been issued confirming that no aboriginal heritage matters would impact upon the project.

The progress made during 2016 increased directors’ confidence in the strategy of building an internationally ranked low cost resource before committing to mine development at Jervois. The trebling of KGL’s share price during the year indicated that investors shared our confidence.

We are now focussed on intensive exploration at Rockface to support a Resource update and to enable mining and processing options to be considered. We look forward to bringing Rockface together with the other Resources at Jervois and the new adjoining tenement as we move the project towards the development of a world class low cost copper and multi-metal mine.

KGL continues to demand much time and effort of the small board of directors and staff group. I extend sincere thanks to everyone for their hard work.

Directors would like to thank shareholders for their support by continuing to invest in the Company. We are gratified that you share our confidence in the future of the Jervois project and KGL, and assure you of our best endeavours on your behalf.

DIRECTORS REPORT (CONTINUED)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the year, KGL achieved outstanding exploration results at the Jervois copper-silver-gold project in the Northern Territory, advancing the Company a long way towards the goal of establishing a world class, low cost copper and multi-metal mine.

Directors took the decision at the close of 2015 to change the strategy of the Company by deferring project development in favour of exploration to improve the quality and size of the Jervois resource.

To fund the work, the Company raised $2.987 million (before costs) in January 2016 by way of an entitlement offer, minimising dilution to existing shareholders, particularly at a time of low metal prices.

A rigorous cost cutting regime reduced the level of spending and postponed the need for further capital raising throughout the year. This was supported by R & D Tax Incentive refunds totalling $3.063 million received from the Australian Government as part reimbursement for the Company’s expenditure on innovative metallurgical work. The Company was able to delay a further capital raising until the $2.5 million share purchase plan in March 2017.

In 2016, KGL applied modern, cost efficient exploration methods while minimising corporate costs, reducing the number of directors to three, reducing directors’ fees, reducing the work force and putting staff on a part-time basis.

Funding was directed overwhelmingly towards exploration at the highly prospective Rockface prospect. Down Hole Electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying was used to identify drill targets, followed by drilling that resulted in increasingly higher grade intersections and the discovery of extensive mineralised zones. More DHEM surveys from the new holes in turn identified new target areas (conductors) where drilling resulted in further high grade mineralisation. Grades increased progressively with depth.

The Company’s strategy and continuing exploration success, at a time of strengthening copper prices, were reflected in the near trebling of KGL’s share price during the year.

Exploration

Rockface high grade discoveries

Exploration at Rockface during the year was built upon the outcome of diamond drilling in the second half of 2015 when hole KJCD171 intersected, well below the current Inferred Resource, a broad interval of massive magnetite-chalcopyrite mineralisation, including:

13m @ 2.14% Cu, 12.5g/t Ag and 0.10g/t Au from 255m, and
2m @ 2.83% Cu, 10.8g/t Ag and 0.05g/t Au from 278m.

A follow-up DHEM survey of KJCD171 identified two strong off-hole conductors that were targeted by drilling in March/April 2016.

Hole KJCD182 included:

9m @ 2.91% Cu, 17.6g/t Ag and 0.2g/t Au from 284m, and
6m @ 1.6% Cu, 9.3g/t Ag and 0.16g/t Au from 296m.

Hole KJCD183 included:

16m @ 3.34% Cu, 16.7g/t Ag and 0.17g/t Au from 362m.

The mineralised intercept in KJCD183 appeared to be a further extension of the massive magnetitechalcopyrite mineralisation that was first intersected in KJCD171.

KGL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

DIRECTORS REPORT (CONTINUED)

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

DHEM surveying of the holes was followed by further drilling.

Hole KJCD195 intersected two zones of significant mineralisation in two conductors. The first was in Conductor 3 and included:

10.5m @ 8.76% Cu, 42.9g/t Ag and 0.51g/t Au from 478.4m.

The second was in Conductor 5 and included:

5.1m @ 2.66% Cu, 0.39% Zn, 13.8g/t Ag and 0.27g/t Au from 513.6m.

Hole KJCD197, drilled to test Conductors 3 and 5, confirmed a broad zone of high-grade mineralisation at greater depth than the KJCD195 intersections including:

9.4m @ 11.53% Cu, 56.6g/t Ag and 0.87g/t Au from 535.4m
8.9m @ 1.00% Cu, 7.3g/t Ag and 0.09g/t Au from 544.8m
15m @ 7.11% Cu, 29.4g/t Ag and 0.89g/t Au from 558m. This interval recorded the highest gold grade yet at Rockface of 5.33g/t Au (567.5-568m).

The three intersections of KJCD197 shown above, including an intervening 4.3m of low-grade mineralisation, give a combined intersection of:

37.6m @ 5.98% Cu, 27.9g/t Ag and 0.6g/t Au from 535.4m.

DHEM surveys identified more target zones (conductors) for drilling.

Hole KJCD198 targeted Conductor 6 and included in assay results:

5.95m @ 4.94% Cu, 0.16% Zn, 25.9g/t Ag, 0.45g/t Au from 449.85 m.

KJCD201 targeted conductors approximately 100m below hole KJCD197, intersecting high grade mineralisation including:

10.05m @ 8.99% Cu, 45.5g/t Ag, 0.6g/t Au from 645.65 m.

KJCD203 targeted Conductors 2, 3 and 4 in a 105m zone that lies between two previous high grade copper intersections by holes KJCD183 and KJCD195. KJCD203 assays included:

28m @ 5.08% Cu, 22.4g/t Ag, 0.22g/t Au from 435 m
including 14m @ 8.89% Cu, 38.5g/t Ag, 0.38g/t Au from 436 m.

Drill results late in the year and related DHEM surveying pointed to extensive, potentially high grade zones laterally to the east of the deepest intersection by KJCD201, including Conductor 8, the strongest conductor yet discovered at Rockface.

A shallow diamond drilling program at Rockface during the year confirmed that mineralisation continues to the surface. Significant results included:

8.2m @ 0.75% Cu, 4g/t Ag and 0.05g/t Au from Om (Hole KIDO15)
including 3.3m @ 1.49% Cu, 3.8g/t Ag and 0.09 Au from 1.7m
7.35m @ 1.22% Cu, 2.1g/t Ag and 0.06g/t Au from 0m (Hole KIDO16)including 2.6m @ 2.83% Cu, 3.1g/t Ag and 0.12g/t Au from 0m
4.9m @ 1.04% Cu, 10.1g/t Ag and 0.06g/t Au from 0m (Hole KIDO20)
including 3.5m @ 1.32% Cu, 13.4g/t Ag and 0.04g/t Au from 1.4m.

Rockface test processing

Metallurgical testwork on Rockface mineralisation during the year confirmed good recovery and concentrate grade. Samples of core from holes KJCD171, KJCD182 and KJCD183 were combined and the composite tested. The sample responded well to the flowsheet and reagent scheme developed as part of the prefeasibility study completed in 2015. The grade and recovery for copper were slightly better than expectations providing more than 95% recovery at 25% copper concentrate grade.

Other work at Jervois

A detailed gravity survey in the Jervois project area was completed during the year. The objective was to improve the understanding of the geology and, in combination with the existing drill results, previous geophysical surveys and structural mapping, define new and refine existing drilling targets.

Drilling to upgrade the shallow mineralisation amenable to open pit mining at the Green Parrot prospect confirmed high grade mineralisation. Assays of more than 40% combined copper-lead-zinczinc plus high silver were encountered. Significant results included:

7m @ 3.15% Cu, 27.24% Pb, 13.01% Zn, 333.1g/t Ag and 0.07g/t Au from 39m (Hole KJCD179)
17m @ 1.68% Cu, 10.46% Pb, 4.24% Zn, 169g/t Ag and 0.19g/t Au from 54m (Hole KJC177) including 2m @ 0.57% Cu, 26.53% Pb, 8.36% Zn, 227.3g/t Ag and 0.01g/t Au from 54m, and including 5m @ 3.91% Cu, 20.75% Pb, 9.17% Zn, 358.6g/t Ag and 0.11g/t Au from 58m.

Land access and Aboriginal heritage agreement

Negotiations with the traditional land owners at Jervois and with the Central Land Council concluded during the year, and KGL through subsidiary companies entered into an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) to allow the project to proceed. The ILUA is currently with the National Native Title Tribunal where, as part of the registration process, it has been accepted for notification and, in the absence of objection, will be registered after 1 May 2017. An Authority Certificate from the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority in the Northern Territory has also been issued confirming no aboriginal heritage matters would impact upon the project.

KGL looks forward to continuing to build its relationship with the traditional land owners and their representatives as the project proceeds.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Continuing exploration at Jervois

With high grade copper mineralisation in the magnetite/chalcopyrite zone responding very well to DHEM surveying, DHEM has become central to KGL’s continuing, cost effective exploration. In early March 2017, a two-hole program was commenced at Rockface, to test the new eastern conductors that offer the potential for further high grade mineralisation while extending the strike of the Rockface mineralisation to the east.

Following the completion of the $2.987 million (before costs) capital raising in mid-March 2017, a further seven-hole drilling program was implemented.

As well as evaluating the potential of the eastern zone, the drilling will be aimed at better defining the extent of mineralisation and infill where required to support a resource update which will be the first since the high grade discoveries at Rockface.

This will enable preliminary work to commence on assessing mining and processing options for Rockface and guide future drilling to further upgrade the Rockface Resource.

Yambah exploration licences

Rock chip and soil sampling confirmed the base metal and gold potential at the Company’s 100% owned Yambah exploration licences, 60km north and northeast of Alice Springs. KGL acquired the licences in 2015 because of the similarity of the style and age of the mineralisation to Jervois. The best result was 22.2% Cu, 4.01% Zn and 1.05g/t Au at Yambah’s Emily prospect. The Emily and Dawn prospects are interpreted as being on the same mineralised trend, an aeromagnetic lineament with a total strike length of 26km within the tenement and not targeted by previous exploration. Further prospecting, mapping and rock chip sampling are planned.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

For the year ended 31 December 2016, the KGL Group recorded loss after income tax of $2,262,359 (2015: loss of $2,430,262).

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

Remuneration philosophy

The Company’s remuneration policy is to ensure that the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive team.

To assist in achieving these objectives, each year the Board considers a short term incentive (STI) programme which links executive’s remuneration to the Group’s financial and operational performance through a series of measurable key performance indicators.

Periodically, the Board also approved a long term incentive (LTI) programme for the Chief Executive Officer and selected Senior Executives which aligns executives’ long term remuneration with overall group strategy and goals. Only the Chief Executive Officer participated in the LTI program.

Employment agreements are entered into with personnel on the executive team.

Nomination & Remuneration committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors and executives.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration is separate and distinct.

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The current aggregate remuneration so determined is $500,000. An amount not exceeding $500,000 is divided between the directors as agreed.

When appropriate the Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. Directors who are called upon to perform extra services beyond the director’s ordinary duties may be paid additional fees for those services.

Non-executive directors are and have been encouraged to hold shares in the Company. KGL considers it good governance for directors to have a stake in the Company on whose Board he or she sits.

KGL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

DIRECTORS REPORT (CONTINUED) REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Executive remuneration

Objective

The Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of fixed and variable remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to align the interests of executives with those of shareholders.

Structure

In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Board may obtain independent advice from external consultants on market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles. No Remuneration Consultants were engaged in the 2016. It is the Board’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with the all senior executives.

Variable remuneration – short and long term incentives

Objective

The primary objectives of STI’s are to:

provide incentives to key individuals to meet their stretched targets.
provide incentives to the employees to achieve the short term objectives of the Company and improve the performance of the Company; and
attract persons of experience and ability to employment with the Company.

The primary objectives of LTI’s are to:

to align the long term goals of senior executives with the strategic objectives of the Company;
provide an incentive to the employees to achieve the long term objectives of the Company and improve the performance of the Company; and
attract persons of experience and ability to employment with the Company and foster and promote loyalty between the Company and its employees.

Structure

Short term incentives are measured through the achievement of stretched key performance indicators (KPI’s) which are agreed with each senior executive annually. These KPI’s are based primarily on safety, sustainability, financial management, business development governance and leadership. Under the approved policy STI payments may be up to 15% of the total fixed income (TFI) component of the executive’s remuneration package.

All STI payments for senior executives are approved at the discretion of the Board based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

In accordance with the Employee Share Option Plan performance rights have been issued to senior executives. The vesting conditions relate to the achievement of significant project milestones therefore aligning the executives’ ability to achieve growth in shareholder value with the executives’ remuneration.

A LTI policy has been approved by the Board. This policy will only apply to the Chief Executive Officer and members of the senior executive management team whose role contributes to the medium to long term development of the Company. Under the terms of the approved policy any LTI awards will have a three year rolling vesting period relating to specific Key Performance Criteria.

Long Term Incentive (LTI) awards will be granted annually, at Board discretion. The notional value of the annual LTI will be determined by the Board and can be up to 60% of total fixed income component of the executive’s remuneration package.

KGL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

DIRECTORS REPORT (CONTINUED) REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Long Term incentive performance measures for vesting LTI awards will be based on Key Performance Criteria that reflect progress made towards improvements in the overall development of the Company and Total Shareholder Return. These will include but not limited to growth targets for share price, costs of producing final product, resource or reserve growth, production increases, strengthening corporate statement of financial position and other similar measures.

All Long Term Incentive payments for senior executives are approved at the discretion of the Board based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Board will retain the right to vary terms and conditions of the LTI policy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

KGL Resources Limited is a listed public company, limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements cover the consolidated entity, KGL Resources Limited, and its subsidiaries. Separate financial statements for KGL Resources Limited as an individual entity have not been presented. The registered office and principal place of business is Level 7, 167 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Queensland, 4000, Australia. However, limited financial information for KGL Resources Limited as an individual entity is included in Note 28.

The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 March 2017.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. KGL Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial statements:

(a) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the current period, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations has resulted in no changes to the Group’s financial results.

(b) New and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2016. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments

This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and completes phases I and III of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'. This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 'Hedge Accounting' supersedes the general hedge accounting requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new simpler approach to hedge accounting that is

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) New and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted (continued)

intended to more closely align with risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 January 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 is effective for Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. AASB 16 eliminates the operating and finance lease classifications for lessees currently accounted for under AASB 117 Leases. It instead requires an entity to bring most leases onto its balance sheet in a similar way to how existing finance leases are treated under AASB 117. An entity will be required to recognise a lease liability and a right of use asset in its balance sheet for most leases. There are some optional exemptions for leases with a period of 12 months or less and for low value leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from AASB 117. The company will adopt this standard from 1 January 2019 onwards, but the impact of its adoption is yet to be accessed by the consolidated entity.

(c) Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of KGL Resources Limited and its subsidiaries ("the group"). Subsidiaries are entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group has control over an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to use its power to affect those returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intragroup transactions have been eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position respectively. Total comprehensive income is attributable to owners of KGL Resources Limited and non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a debit balance.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Associates are accounted for in the parent entity financial statements at cost and the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the group's share of post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognised in consolidated profit or loss and the group's share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income of associates is recognised in consolidated other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity's profit or loss, while they reduce the carrying amount of the investment in the consolidated financial statements.

Associates (continued)

When the Group's share of post-acquisition losses in an associate exceeds its interest in the associate (including any unsecured long-term receivables), the Group does not recognise further losses unless it has obligations to, or has made payments, on behalf of the associate.

The financial statements of the associates are used to apply the equity method. The end of the reporting period of the associates and the parent are identical and both use consistent accounting policies.

Joint Arrangements

Joint arrangements are arrangements in which one or more parties have joint control (the contractual sharing of control of an arrangement where decisions about relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control).

KGL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Basis of consolidation (continued)

Joint Operations

KGL Resources Limited has entered into joint arrangements which are classified as joint operations because the parties to the joint arrangements have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, rather than to the net assets, of the joint arrangements. KGL Resources Limited will recognise its direct right to, as well as its share of jointly held, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and will be included in the financial statements under the appropriate headings.

Joint Ventures

Interests in joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method and in the parent entity financial statements at cost. Under the equity method of accounting, the group's share of profits or losses of joint ventures are recognised in consolidated profit or loss and the group's share of the movements in other comprehensive income of joint ventures are recognised in consolidated other comprehensive income. The cumulative movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.

(d) Business combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. These business combinations will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed are recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the profit or loss. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase price.

(e) Revenue and other income

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

Sales revenue

Fine gold metal and fine silver metal revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable at the prevailing spot price. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and can be reliably measured.

KGL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Revenue and other income (continued)

Interest

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

Other income

Other revenue is recognised at the completion of the transaction when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(f) Income tax

The income tax expense (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities (assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.

Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right to set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Group has not adopted the tax consolidation legislation.

(g) Share-based payments

Equity settled share-based payments with employees and directors are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by use of a binomial model and/or monte carlo simulation. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. The fair value determined at the grant date of the share-based payments is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.

KGL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(g) Share-based payments (continued)

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because internal conditions were not met. An expense is still recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because a market condition was not met. Where options are cancelled, they are treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation and any unrecognised expenses are taken immediately to profit or loss. However, if new options are substituted for the cancelled options and designated as a replacement on grant date, the combined impact of the cancellation and replacement option are treated as if they were a modification.

Equity settled share-based payment transactions with other parties are measured at fair value of the goods and services received, except where the fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date goods or services were obtained.

(h) Goods and services tax (GST) and value added tax (VAT)

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

where the GST and VAT incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST and VAT 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 are stated with the amount of GST and VAT included.

The net amount of GST and VAT 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 cashflows on a gross basis and the GST and VAT 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 and VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(i) Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The subsidiaries domiciled in the Kyrgyz Republic have Soms as their functional currency. The majority of transactions in the subsidiaries are transacted in the Kyrgyz Som. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using 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 arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s overseas operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve, and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily converted to cash, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(k) Financial assets and liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets and liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of Accounting Standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale equity instruments, a significant or prolonged decline in the value of the instrument below its cost is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(k) Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where there related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

(l) Exploration and evaluation assets

The Group applies AASB 6 Exploration For and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs 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 which permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against operating results 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 transferred to mine development and 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.

Where incidental income and other R&D grants are received that relate to capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, these amounts are offset against the amounts capitalised.

(m) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.

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

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

(m) Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)

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

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets.

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line or declining balance basis to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use, as follows:

Plant and equipment 3-10 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

(o) Intangible assets

Software

Items of computer software which are not integral to the computer hardware owned by the Group are classified as intangible assets with a finite life. Computer software is amortised on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the software being 3 years.

(p) Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Operating Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.

The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis. Contingent rentals are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(q) Payables

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

(r) Issued capital

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group.

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(s) Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits 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 benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

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

(t) Fair Values

Fair values may be used for financial asset and liability measurement as well as for sundry disclosures. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is based on the presumption that the transaction takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. The principal or most advantageous market must be accessible to, or by, the group.

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.

The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account the market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset at its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset at its highest and best use.

In measuring fair value, the group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs.

(u) Earnings per share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude 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 EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for:

Costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
The after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
Other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares.

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

(v) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities made within the next annual reporting period are:

Going Concern

The Directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial report on a going concern basis, which contemplates realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As disclosed in the financial report, the consolidated entity achieved a net loss of $2,262,359 and net operating cashflows of ($2,352,581) for the period to 31[st] December 2016. As at 31 December 2016, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $2,099,580.

On the 14 March 2017 the Company announced it had received SPP applications for 9,188,161 fully paid ordinary shares raising $2,480,850.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(w) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

During 2016, the Group has taken action to reduce corporate overheads and align exploration activities with available cash reserves to ensure that the company has funding for at least the next twelve months. The directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial report on a going concern basis as, and in the opinion of the Directors, the Group has adequate plans in place to meet its minimum administrative, evaluation and development expenditures for at least twelve months from the date of this report.

Exploration and Evaluation

The directors determine when an area of interest should be abandoned. When a decision is made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of interest are written off. The directors’ decisions are made after considering the likelihood of finding commercially viable outcomes balanced with acceptable political and environmental assessments. The directors have not decided to abandon any of the tenement held.

Loss of control of Kentor Energy

On the 1 January 2014 KGL lost control of Kentor Energy a 100% owned subsidiary. The loss of control arose from entering into a Farm In Agreement with Geodynamics over the exploration of tenements held by this entity. Subsequent to entering into the agreement 25% interest in the operations was issued to Kentor Energy leaving KGL with a 75% interest.

As a result of the loss of control on 1 January 2014 Kentor Energy was deconsolidated and a loss has been recognised (refer to note 11) in the profit or loss. The investment recognised as this date has been recognised at cost as the Directors have determined that this represents the fair value of the investment at that point in time.

Subsequent to 1 January 2014 KGL Resources Limited’s investment in Kentor Energy has been equity accounted for.

On 24 August 2016 the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 75% Participating Interest in the Savo Island Prospecting Licence (PL-01/12) for a sale price of $1. Upon completion of the sale KGL Resources Limited will have no further interest in or liability for the tenement.

(x) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

The options have no expiry date except, in the event of the cessation of employment, 30 days after the date of cessation of employment.

At year end all options were exercisable with the exception of Trance C and Tranche E. Directors have taken the view that these options pertaining to Tranche C & E are highly unlikely to vest by the expiry date and therefore directors deem these options to have no value.

The fair value of the options were determined using a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation approach or the binomial model. Where relevant, the expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management’s best estimate for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations.

Key inputs used in the calculation of the value of options issued during the year ended 31 December 2015 are:

Tranche	Grant date	Expiry date	Spot price $	Volatility %	Risk free rate %
A, B, C	10 Feb 2014	24 Feb 2017	0.115	75	2.62
D	29 May 2014	30 Nov 2015	0.090	75	2.62
E	29 May 2014	31 May 2016	0.090	75	2.62

Expected volatility was determined based on historic volatility adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility based on publicly available information. All options granted during the year had vesting conditions attached.

(a) The Group’s main related parties are as follows:
i) Entities exercising control over the Group:

The ultimate parent entity that exercises control over the Group is KGL Resources Limited which is the Australian parent Company.

ii) Key management personnel:

Any person having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity, are considered key management personnel.

22. Segment information

Following the sale of the Bashkol Project in June 2015 and the loss of control of the Geothermal Project disclosed in Note 11, the Group now identifies only one operating segment, based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group does not yet have any products or services from which it derives an income.

Accordingly, management currently identifies the Group as having only one reportable segment, being exploration at the Jervois site in the Northern Territory. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group.

All assets are located in Australia

23. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives and policies

Management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through regular reviews of the risks. These risks include market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

KGL RESOURCES LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 52 082 658 080

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

23. Financial instruments (continued)

The primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Board. The Group’s financial and commodity risk management program supports the achievement of the Group’s objectives by enabling the identification and evaluation of risks, setting acceptable risk thresholds, identifying and mapping controls against these risks and implementing policies and procedures to manage and monitor the risks.

These written policies establish the financial and commodity risk management framework and define the procedures and controls for the effective management of the Group’s risks that arise through the Group’s current exploration and development activities and those risks which may arise through other mining activities in the future.

The policy ensures all financial and commodity risks are fully recognised and treated in a manner consistent with:

The Board’s management philosophy;
Commonly accepted industry practice and corporate governance; and
Shareholders expectations of becoming a gold and copper producer.

The policies are reviewed by the Board annually, at a minimum, as the Group’s financial and commodity risks are likely to change over time.

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from the previous period.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash at bank, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and borrowings.

Exposure limits are reviewed by management on a continuous basis. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes.

(a) Capital risk management

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity as disclosed in the statement of financial position. Management controls the capital of the Group in order to generate long-term shareholder value, maximising the return to shareholders and ensuring that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year.

23. Financial instruments (continued)

(c) Credit risk exposures

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises principally from cash on deposit and trade and other receivables. The objective of the Group is to minimize risk of loss from credit risk exposure.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security at balance date, is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any impairment, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.

In the 2016 and 2015 years there are no concentration of credit risk in trade and other receivables as the Group did not have customers at year end.

At year end the Group has two material exposures of $383,011 (2015: $340,916) to National Australia Bank Limited and $2,174,288 (2015: $1,035,382) to ANZ relating to funds on deposit and cash at bank. The Group manages its credit risk associated with funds on deposit and cash at bank by only dealing with reputable financial institutions.

(d) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices (commodity price risk); foreign exchange rates (foreign currency risk) or interest rates (interest rate risk).

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control risk exposure within acceptable parameters whilst optimising returns.

It is the policy of the Group to manage the foreign currency risk on highly probable forecast capital expenditure by utilising foreign currency hedging where appropriate. To hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk on highly probable forecast capital expenditure, the Group purchases Euro and USD to match the currencies in which the Group expects to settle the highly probable forecast capital expenditure.

At the end of the reporting periods for 2016 and 2015 there was no foreign currency that was being held as a hedging instrument.

(e) Market risk (Continued)

The Group has no exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date.

i) Interest rate risk

The Group has established a number of policies and processes for managing interest rate risk. These include monitoring risk exposure continuously and utilising fixed rate facilities where required.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and liabilities is set out in the following table:

23. Financial instruments (continued)

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. At 31 December 2016, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, net loss and other comprehensive income would have been affected as follows:

	Net loss		Other comprehensive income	Other comprehensive income

(f) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The objective of managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due.

Working capital primarily comprises of cash. The Group has established a number of policies and processes for managing liquidity risk:

Monitoring actual against budgeted cashflows;
Regularly forecasting long term cashflows and stress testing; and
Regularly monitoring the availability of equity capital and current market conditions.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverability of exploration and evaluation assets

Key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

How the matter was addressed in our audit We enquired with management if any impairment indicators in accordance with AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources have been identified across the Group’s exploration projects, the indicators being:

The company carries significant exploration and evaluation assets of $27,619,482 as at 31 December 2016 as disclosed in note 9 to the financial statements.

The carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets represents a significant asset of the company and assessing whether facts or circumstances exist to suggest that impairment indicators were present, and if present, whether the carrying amount of this asset may exceed its recoverable amount was considered key to the audit.

Expiring, or imminently expiring, rights to tenure;
A lack of budgeted or planned exploration and evaluation spend on the areas of interest;

This assessment involves significant judgement applied by management.

Discontinuation of, or a plan to discontinue, exploration activities in the areas of interest; and/or

We considered it necessary to assess whether facts and circumstances existed to suggest that impairment indicators were present, and if present, whether the carrying amount of these assets may exceed its recoverable amount.

Sufficient data exists to suggest carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets is unlikely be recovered in full through successful development or sale.

We verified a sample of current tenement licences to determine that the group has the rights to tenure and maintains the tenements in good standing. We obtained the exploration budget for the 2017 year and assessed that there is reasonable forecasted expenditure to confirm continued exploration spend into the projects indicating that Management are committed to the projects. We also reviewed ASX announcements and Board meeting minutes for the year and subsequent to year end for exploration activity and drill results to identify any indicators of impairment.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
