EXPLORATION PROJECTS
In contrast to most micro-cap explorers’ Korab utilises a recently developed exploration strategy which can be termed “Mineral Systems” approach. This philosophy centres on applying the understanding of the mineralising processes in a predictive capacity, rather than utilising a purely empirical approach. It is a method focusing on ‘why’ mineralisation occurs and ‘where’ it should occur under various geological conditions. This is in contrast to a traditional approach which largely targets only geochemical or geophysical anomalies. The “Mineral Systems” approach has several benefits. It enables Korab to explore for several styles of mineralisation as opposed to focusing on a single mineralisation model. In addition, Korab increases the chances for discovering an entirely new zone, or a different style of mineralisation by utilising all available data in a more holistic fashion.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Ashburton Downs Project
Ashburton Downs is located near Parabardoo in the Ashburton Mineral Field in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Past exploration shows that target stratigraphies at Ashburton Downs have a potential to host gold, potash, rare earths, detrital iron, copper and other base metals mineralisation.
Rum Jungle's Batchelor and Green Alligator Projects
Batchelor and Green Alligator projects are located in the Rum Jungle Mineral Field in the Pine Creek orogen of the Northern Territory, 70 km south of Darwin. Past exploration shows that target stratigraphies at Batchelor and Green Alligator projects in Rum Jungle Mineral Field have a potential to host gold, tin, copper, lead, zinc, phosphate, rare earths, nickel, cobalt and banded iron formations.
Tucker Creek Project
Tucker Creek project is located in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, 25 km from West Coast Highway and 100 km from the coast. The area under exploration is prospective for copper, lead, zinc, gold and other minerals.
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Korab Group operates Melrose gold exploration/development project in Western Australia, Bobrikovo silver and gold exploration and development project in eastern Ukraine, Geolsec phosphate exploration and development project in the Northern Territory's Rum Jungle Mineral Field and Winchester magnesium exploration and development project located near Geolsec project. Our corporate strategy is to acquire and projects in sectors with strong historical growth and a continuing long term growth potential with aim of either developing them to production or monetising them after adding value through exploration, or development.
Our mining projects are characterised by projected low operating cost, high profit margin and superior logistics and location.
Melrose Gold Project
Melrose owns and operates an advanced gold project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The project is located 70km north east of Leinster and 45km east of the Bronzewing mine and associated processing infrastructure. The project hosts a mineral resource containing 339,975 ounces of gold in three deposits (Bungarra, Boundary and Stirling) located in close proximity.

Korab has been undertaking significant metallurgical test work of core samples from diamond holes drilled in late 2011. The test work program has been designed to assess potential for a simple open cut bulk mining and heap leaching operation at the Bungarra and Boundary gold deposits.
As announced to ASX, results to date show gold recoveries above 87% at a crush size of 8 mm (after 120 hours) at the Bungarra and Boundary deposits. Importantly, the testwork at both deposits has shown a low consumption of lime and cyanide, indicating that the project may be amenable to heap leach processing.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Potential also exists for conventional carbon in leach plant processing with gold recoveries exceeding 99% after 24 hours using cyanide leach at 106 micron grind size.
Should this deposit be developed, Korab may use any profits generated to pay dividends to Korab shareholders and to explore and develop Korab’s other assets. Another option is the disposal of this asset to generate funds for development of other Korab’s assets.
Bobrikovo Gold and Silver Project
Korab’s subsidiary Lugansk owns and operates the Bobrikovo gold and silver project located in the Lugansk oblast (province) in eastern Ukraine. Whilst exploring at Bobrikovo for additional resource and progressing the preliminary feasibility study for the development of the fresh rock part of the deposit, Lugansk commenced the development of the processing plant and other mine infrastructure to develop the oxide part of the deposit. Lugansk plans to develop the oxide ore as a simple open cut mine processing ore into concentrate using low-cost gravity-based plant. The concentrate is most likely to be smelted on site to produce doré bars. Lugansk is currently in the process of updating mineral resource statement for Bobrikovo project.

Geolsec Organic Phosphate
Geolsec phosphate deposit is located at Rum Jungle in close proximity to the Darwin port (70 km by 4-lane Stuart Highway) allowing for easy access to most ports in Asia and Australia.
Local infrastructure includes road, rail, high-voltage power, potable water and piped gas. Geolsec project is located less than 2km from the regional centre of Batchelor. Geolsec phosphate deposit extends from surface to 40-120 meters depth and is located on Castlemaine hill with good access by all-weather road.
Korab intends to develop the Geolsec deposit as a simple quarrying operation with negligible environmental impact. Commencement of quarrying operations at Geolsec is conditional on receiving all required permits and approvals which have not yet been secured.
Acid solubility tests show Geolsec to have very high reactivity. Historical tests completed by CSIRO have shown Geolsec rock phosphate to have high absorption rates when applied directly to acidic soils. Comparison test run by CSIRO have shown Geolsec phosphate rock to have higher absorption rates than Christmas Island phosphate rock. Another benefit of the Geolsec phosphate rock is its very low content of heavy metals which makes it superior to Moroccan and Egyptian phosphate rock.
Organic farming is the fastest growing sector of the global economy. Australia is the largest organic producer globally with 12 million hectares under organic cultivation. Geolsec’s organic phosphate fertiliser is environmentally and nutritionally superior to chemical fertilisers and can be used on a wide variety of crops and pastures.
Organic fertilisers based on ground-up rock phosphate such as GEOLSEC offer several advantages over chemically processed soluble fertilisers such as DAP, MAP or superphosphate:

KORAB RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES
ANNUAL REPORT 2012
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
-
Organic fertilisers slowly release nutrients into the soil matching the speed at which the nutrients are being absorbed by the plants.
-
Phosphate rock has the ability to restore microelemental and microbial soil balance which in turn leads to less reliance on artificial fertilisers and better crop yields.
-
Use of organic phosphate instead of chemically processed phosphate avoids the serious environmental degradation caused by increased concentrations of fertilisers in the ground water, the rivers and the coastal waters. Use of organic phosphate rock reduces the risk of harmful accumulation of nutrients in the soil and reduces soil salinity problems
-
Plants grown on organic phosphate rock fertiliser have a better nutritional quality.
-
Because of phosphate rock's unique chemical composition, incorporation of phosphate rock into the soil enhances its biological activity and increases soil carbon (C) accumulation, leading to improved soil fertility and restoration of its physical and chemical properties.
-
Organic phosphate rock is a source of several nutrients other than P. Rock phosphates are usually applied to replenish soil P status, but phosphate rock also provides other nutrients not present in soluble fertilisers. Application of organic phosphate has a potential trigger effect on plant growth and crop yields as a result not only of phosphorus release but also because of phosphate rock's effect on increasing exchangeable calcium (Ca) and reducing aluminium saturation.
-
Phosphate rocks for direct application can be more efficient than artificial fertilizers in terms of phosphorus (P) recovery by plants under certain conditions. Based on the unit cost of P, natural phosphate rock is usually the cheapest.
-
Phosphate rocks are natural minerals requiring no metallurgical processing. Their direct application avoids production of polluting wastes such as phospho-gypsum and greenhouse gases, thus resulting in energy conservation and protection of environment.
Winchester Magnesium
Winchester magnesite deposit is located within the Batchelor project, 70km south from Darwin in the Northern Territory. The project has been taken through the feasibility study stage including mine planning and design, preparation of environment impact statement, design of process flow chart, design of the processing and crushing plant, test mining, construction of pilot processing plant and production of magnesium.
Project is located just 30 minutes from the suburbs of Darwin. Rail line, gas pipeline, sealed transcontinental highway and high voltage power lines cross the project area providing the project with excellent basic infrastructure and logistics.
Drilling at Winchester deposit to a depth of 100m outlined a high grade zone of magnesium mineralisation 7.5km long and 0.5km wide. Mineralisation is open at depth. Close-spaced drilling over the small part of this area covering approximately 550m by 300m outlined an indicated resource of 12.2Mt at 43.1% MgO and an inferred resource of 4.4Mt at 43.6% MgO.
Magnesium is 33% lighter than aluminium and 75% lighter than steel. Magnesium is the lightest of all metals used as the basis for constructional alloys. It is this property which entices automobile manufacturers to replace denser materials, not only steels, cast irons and copper base alloys but even aluminium alloys by magnesium based alloys. The requirement to reduce the weight of car components as a result in part of the introduction of legislation limiting emission has triggered renewed interest in magnesium. The growth rate over the next 10 years has been forecast to be 7% per annum. Magnesium is widely used in aerospace and military applications, steel making, super conducting materials, automotive sector and building and construction. Experts believe that the growing demand for lighter, fuel efficient vehicles, super conductors, steel, advanced alloys and eco-friendly building materials will ensure demand for magnesium continues to increase at historical rate of 7% pa. Chinese Government has put magnesium on the list of strategic materials on par with rare earths indicating the value it places on this advanced material.

CORPORATE
During the March 2012 quarter Korab was advised by its subsidiaries Melrose Gold Mines Ltd and Lugansk Gold Ltd that they would no longer seek admission to the ASX. As a consequence of this, the entitlements to the in-specie distributions approved by Korab shareholders in 2010 have lapsed. The challenging state of the IPO market had impeded Melrose Gold Mines Ltd’s ability to raise the minimum funds to successfully list on the ASX. Similarly, Lugansk Gold Ltd has failed to attract sufficient interest from brokers and institutional investors during several rounds of pre-IPO marketing.
On 23 March 2012 Korab announced a $1.78 million placement of 13.2 million shares at 13.5 cents per share, following strong interest from new and existing institutional and sophisticated shareholders. The proceeds are b e i n g used to advance mining and exploration activities at the Bobrikovo gold project in Ukraine, continue exploration and development at the Melrose gold project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, and exploration and development of the Geolsec phosphate project in the Northern Territory. Funds will also be used to reduce debt and meet ongoing working capital requirements.
During the reporting period Korab announced that it would offer all shareholders of Korab a loyalty option. The loyalty option will be offered on the basis of one loyalty option for every three Korab shares held at the record date, at a price of 0.1 cents per loyalty option, with an exercise price of 25 cents per share, expiring two years from the date of issue. The loyalty option offer is intended to give existing shareholders an opportunity to participate in the future upside of the Company as it progresses its asset development strategy. A total of 33,733,334 options were issued under this programme post year end with an option expiry date of 28 August 2014.
MEETINGS OF DIRECTORS
The number of directors' meetings held during the financial year for each director who held office during the financial year and the number of meetings attended by each director is as follows:
| Number eligible to | Meetings | |
|---|---|---|
| Director | attend | attended |
| Andrej K. Karpinski | 11 | 11 |
| Malcolm J. McKenzie | 11 | 11 |
| Rodney H.J. Skeet | 11 | 11 |
The Company does not have formally constituted Audit, Remuneration or Nomination Committees as the board considers that the Company’s size and type of operation does not currently warrant such committees.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT
The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308 (3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of compensation
The Board determines remuneration policies and practices, evaluates the performance of senior management, and considers remuneration for those senior managers. The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration on an annual basis by reference to industry and market conditions, and with regard to the Company’s financial and operating performance.
Total non-executive directors’ fees are approved by shareholders and the Board is responsible for the allocation of those fees amongst the individual members of the Board. The value of remuneration is determined on the basis of cost to the Company and consolidated entity. Remuneration of key management personnel is referred to as compensation, as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 124.
Compensation levels for key management personnel of the Company and consolidated entity are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and senior executives. The Board obtains, when required, independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages, given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally. Compensation arrangements can include a mix of fixed and performance based compensation however the Company has not paid bonuses to directors or executives to date. Share-based compensation can be awarded at the discretion of the Board, subject to shareholder approval when required.
It is the intention of the Board to tailor the remuneration policy to maximise the commonality of goals between shareholders and key management personnel. The method which is most likely to achieve this aim is the issue of options to key management personnel to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The directors believe this policy will be the most effective in increasing shareholder wealth. It is anticipated that within the next 12 months Korab’s board will develop, in conjunction with outside consultants, an option based employee incentive program which will then be submitted to shareholders for approval.
Compensation structures take into account the overall level of compensation for each director and executive, the capability and experience of the directors and senior executives, the executive’s ability to control the financial performance of the relative business or geographical segment, the consolidated entity’s performance (including earnings and the growth in share price), and the amount of any incentives within each executive’s remuneration. Given the consolidated entity’s focus on exploration projects during the year, the Board did not have regard to the consolidated entity’s financial performance and / or change in shareholder wealth occurring in the current financial year and previous three financial years in setting remuneration. No dividends were paid or declared during this period (2011: Nil).
Fixed compensation
Fixed compensation consists of base compensation as well as any employer contributions to superannuation funds.
Non-executive directors
Total remuneration for all non-executive directors is not to exceed $120,000 per annum. A non-executive director’s base fee is currently $26,000 per annum. The Executive Chairman currently does not receive director’s fees. Rheingold Investments Corporation Pty Ltd, a company controlled by Executive Chairman receives executive management fees which are disclosed elsewhere in this report.
Non-executive directors do not receive any performance related remuneration, however they may be paid for work performed over and above their non-executive duties. Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities and membership of Board committees. The Company does not have any terms or schemes relating to retirement benefits for non-executive directors. Non-executive directors receive share-based compensation at the discretion of the Board, and subject to approval by shareholders.

In October 2008 the directors and Rheingold agreed to indefinitely suspend payments of the executive services fees (management contract fees) because of the global financial crisis. As of the date of this report, the payments for management contract fees have resumed but on a reduced basis with the unpaid portion of fees being accrued.
This report is signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Korab Resources Limited and its subsidiaries.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), as adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”), other authoritative pronouncements of the AASB and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report of Korab Resources Limited complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Comparative information is reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability.
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars. The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors on 28 September 2012. Korab Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Basis of measurement
The financial report is prepared on a historical cost basis as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the commercial realisation of the future potential of the group’s assets and the discharge of its liabilities in the normal course of business. At balance date, the group had an excess of current assets over current liabilities of $703,296.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, are as follows:

KORAB RESOURCES LIMITED & CONTROLLED ENTITIES
ANNUAL REPORT 2012
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
(i) Exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance 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 relating to, the area of interest are continuing.
(ii) Functional currency
Companies in the consolidated entity have to determine their functional currencies based on the primary economic environment in which each entity operates. In order to do that management has to analyse several factors, including which currency mainly influences sales prices of product sold by the entity, which currency influences the main expenses of providing services, in which currency the entity has received financing, and in which currency it keeps its receipts from operating activities
(iii) Taxation
A subsidiary, Donetsky Kryazh LLC, operates mainly in the Ukraine and is within that country’s tax jurisdiction. The Ukrainian tax system is characterised by numerous taxes and laws that change frequently, can contradict each other, and can be interpreted in various ways. Judgement is required in the determination of the Company’s tax provisions, however the directors believe that these have been calculated based on the best information available.
(iv) Recoverability of loan to Polymetallica Minerals Limited
Korab has been advised by Polymetallica that it is in the process of selling assets and arranging of a debt funding from third parties to raise funds to repay the loans made by Korab.
(b) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial report comprises the financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities. A controlled entity is any entity controlled by the Company whereby the parent entity has the power to control the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Where a subsidiary enters or leaves the consolidated entity during the year, its operating results are included or excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those applied by the parent entity.
(c) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are measured at costs less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill
Goodwill (or negative goodwill) arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the consolidated entity’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill) it is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Goodwill is not amortised and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
(d) Recoverable amount of assets and impairment testing
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation and are tested annually for impairment by estimating their recoverable amount.
Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where such an indicator exists, a formal assessment of recoverable amount is then made. Where this is less than carrying amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or cash generating unit. In estimating value in use, a pre-tax discount rate is used which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Any resulting impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.
(e) Receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less impairment losses.
(f) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, including business combinations involving entities or business under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the consolidated entity. The consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the consolidated entity recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the consolidated entity’s share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
Contingent consideration is classified as either equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
(g) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
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 the consolidated entity’s rights of tenure to the area are current and that the costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or by its sale, or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.
Each area of interest is assessed for impairment to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest. Impairment testing is carried out in accordance with Note 1(d).
Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit or loss in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified to mine development properties.
(h) Taxes
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the result for the year adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by balance date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the statements of financial position liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the consolidated entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and only recognised to the extent that sufficient future assessable income is expected to be obtained.
Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident controlled entities have formed a tax-consolidated entity and are therefore taxed a single entity. Korab Resources Limited is the head entity of the taxconsolidated entity. In future periods the members of the consolidated entity will, if required, enter into a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the consolidated entity contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated entity.
(i) Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and usually paid within 45 days of recognition.

(j) Earnings per share
The consolidated entity presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the result attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options granted.
(k) Share based payments
The fair value of shares and share options granted as compensation is recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. Fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the grantees become unconditionally entitled to the shares or share options. The fair value of share grants at grant date is determined by the share price at that time. The fair value of share options at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, any vesting and performance criteria, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free rate for the term of the option. Upon the exercise of the option, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to the option is transferred to contributed equity.
(l) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other shortterm, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(m) Employee benefits
Provision is made for the consolidated entity’s liability for employee benefits and termination indemnities arising from services rendered by employees to balance date.
(i)Short-term benefits
Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs.
(ii) Long-term employee benefit obligations
The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period.
(n) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to an equity transaction are shown as a deduction from equity, net of any recognised income tax benefit.
(o) Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(p) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period.
(q) Foreign currency
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the consolidated entity’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the “functional” currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at balance date. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit and loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Foreign operations
The financial performance and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the consolidated entity’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
-
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at statement of financial position date.
-
income and expenses are translated at transaction date or average exchange rates for the period, whichever is more appropriate.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the consolidated entity’s foreign currency translation reserve as a separate component of equity. These differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income upon disposal of the foreign operation.
(r) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised and measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable 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 recognized:
Interest
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
(s) Borrowing costs
Interest expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings and the unwinding of the discount on provisions.

(t) Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
All property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an item also includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing an item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit and loss during the financial year in which they are incurred.
Impairment
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed whenever there are any objective indicators of impairment that may indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable in whole or in part. Impairment testing is carried out in accordance with Note 1(d).
Where an asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent it is assigned to a cash generating unit and the recoverable amount test applied to the cash generating unit as a whole.
If the carrying value of the asset is determined to be in excess of its recoverable amount, the asset or cash generating unit is written down to its recoverable amount.
Depreciation and impairment
Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line basis over expected useful life to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The following useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:
Plant and equipment: 2 to 5 years Motor vehicles: 25 years
Assets held under a finance lease are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least annually.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income.
(u) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entity, Korab Resources Limited, disclosed in Note 21 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.
(i) Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Korab Resources Limited. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity’s profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
(v) Investments and other financial assets
The consolidated entity determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
Fair value is the measurement basis, with the exception of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables which are measured at amortised cost. Fair value is inclusive of transaction costs except for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. Changes in fair value are either taken to the profit and loss or to an equity reserve (refer below). Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. If there is not an active market for a financial asset fair value is measured using established valuation techniques.
The consolidated entity assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-forsale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists the cumulative loss is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
(ii) 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 stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
These investments have fixed maturities, and it is the consolidated entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available for sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not included in any of the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity in an available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012
(w) Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Leases which transfer to a lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset are classified as finance leases. Other lease agreements are treated as operating leases.
Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income except for borrowing costs related to the financing of assets constructed for own use (during the construction period). Capitalised leased assets used in mining operations are expensed on a unit of production basis so as to write off the costs in proportion to the depletion of the estimated recoverable reserves or over the life of the lease.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(x) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Site restoration
Provisions for the cost of site restoration are recognised at the time that an environmental disturbance occurs or a constructive obligation is determined. Costs included in the provision encompass all closure and rehabilitation activity expected to occur progressively over the life of the operation and at the time of closure in connection with disturbances as at the reporting date. Estimated costs included in the determination of the provision reflect the risks and probabilities of alternative estimates of cash flows required to settle the obligation. The expected rehabilitation costs are estimated based on the cost of external contractors performing the work or the cost of performing the work internally depending on management’s intention.
The timing of the actual rehabilitation expenditure is dependent upon a number of factors including the currently approved life of the mine and changes in local environmental regulations. Expenditures may occur before and after closure and can continue for an extended period of time depending on rehabilitation requirements. The expected future cash flows exclude the effect of inflation. The unwinding of the discount is included in finance costs and results in an increase in the amount of the provision.
The provision is updated each year for the effect of a change in the discount rate and exchange rate, when applicable, and the change in estimate is added or deducted from the related asset and depreciated prospectively over the asset’s useful life.
Significant judgments and estimates are involved in forming expectations of future activities and the amount and timing of the associated cash flows. Those expectations are formed based on existing environmental and regulatory requirements or, if more stringent, our environmental policies which give rise to a constructive obligation. When expected cash flows change, the revised cash flows are discounted using the current US dollar real risk-free pre-tax discount rate and an adjustment is made to the provision.
When a provision for site restoration is initially recognized, the corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset, representing part of the cost of acquiring the future economic benefits of the operation. The capitalized cost of closure and rehabilitation activities is recognized in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the expected economic life of the operation to which it relates.

(y) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are defined as:
-
possible obligations resulting from past events whose existence depends on future events;
-
obligations that are not recognised because it is not probable that they will lead to an outflow of resources;
-
obligations that cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the statement of financial position, but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, with the exception of contingent liabilities where the probability of the liability occurring is remote.
(z) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities within the scope of AASB 139 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through the profit or loss, borrowings, or as derivatives as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The consolidated entity determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of borrowings, less directly attributable transaction costs. The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depend on their classification.
Financial liabilities at fair value through the profit or loss includes financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the consolidated entity that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by AASB 139. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate method amortisation process. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.
The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include recent arm’s length market transactions, references to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, or other valuation models.
(aa) New accounting standards and interpretations
In the year ending 30 June 2012 the consolidated entity has reviewed all of the new and revised accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. It has been determined by the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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 is necessary to accounting policies.

2. SEGMENT REPORTING
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments which requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the consolidated entity that are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. The Executive Chairman of Korab reviews internal reports prepared such as consolidated financial statements, and strategic decisions of the consolidated entity are determined upon analysis of these internal reports
During the year the consolidated entity operated predominantly in one business segment, being the minerals exploration sector. Accordingly, under the “management approach” outlined only one operating segment has been identified and no further disclosure is required in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated entity’s only income is from interest bearing bank accounts. The geographic location of non-current assets is set out in the table below:

An application for 13,732,597 options was received by Korab from the underwriter, Rheingold Investments Corporation Pty Ltd in relation to the shortfall pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement dated 18 July 2012.
-
(2) On 28 August 2012, the Company issued 77,318 options for $0.01 per option with an exercise price of 25 cents each and expiring on 28 August 2014 to unrelated parties.
-
(3) On 5 September 2012, the Company announced it had agreed to acquire 43,545,730 shares in Lugansk, from unrelated parties, in two tranches, representing 29.3% of Lugansk. In the first tranche of the transaction Korab issued 8,309,926 fully paid Korab shares and 3,036,395 Korab options with an exercise price of 25 cents each and expiring on 28 August 2014 as the consideration for 25,320,730 Lugansk shares. The issue was completed under the 15% placement authority pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and did not require shareholder approval. No money was received. Korab now owns 84.3% of Lugansk and has increased its indirect interest in Lugansk’s mineral resource to 853,303 ounces of gold.
The Company will convene a general meeting as soon as practicable to refresh the 15% placement capacity to enable the second tranche of the transaction to proceed. For settlement of 18,225,000 Lugansk shares in the second tranche Korab has agreed to issue 5,000,000 fully paid Korab shares and 1,666,667 Korab options with an exercise price of 25 cent and expiring on 28 August 2014 subject to having the capacity to do so under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If the 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is refreshed and the second tranche of the transaction completes, Korab will own 96.6% of Lugansk and will increase its indirect interest in Lugansk’s mineral resource to 977,806 ounces of gold.
Of the 8,309,926 fully paid Korab shares and 3,036,395 Korab options that were issued in the first tranche, 5,000,000 shares and 1,666,667 options have been voluntarily escrowed for a period of 12 months from the date of issue. The remaining 5,000,000 Korab shares and 1,666,667 Korab

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
General objectives, policies and processes
The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to credit risk, market risk (including interest rate risk, price risk and currency risk), liquidity risk, and commodity price risk. This note presents qualitative and quantitative information about the consolidated entity’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies and procedures for managing risk, and the management of capital. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
The consolidated entity’s overall risk management approach focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity does not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge financial risk exposures and therefore it is exposed to daily movements in commodity prices, interest rates and exchange rates.
The consolidated entity uses various methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rates and ageing analysis for credit risk.
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Given the stage of the consolidated entity’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were no changes to the consolidated entity’s approach to capital management during the year. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has no significant concentration of credit risk. Exposure to credit risk is considered minimal but is monitored on an ongoing basis.
Cash transactions are limited to financial institutions considered to have a suitable credit rating. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position at balance date. The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
The consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:
| Carrying amount: Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables |
2012 $ 2011 $ 935,118 2,279,643 904,527 960,976 |

16. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
(b) Market risk
(i) Interest rate risk
The significance and management of the risks to the consolidated entity is dependent on a number of factors including (i) interest rates (current and forward) and the currencies that are held; (ii) level of cash and liquid investments;(iii) maturity dates of investments; and (iv) proportion of investments that are fixed rate or floating rate.
The risk is managed by the consolidated entity maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate investments. All cash assets are held in Australian dollars.
The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate risk is considered minimal. The effective interest rates of variable rate income-earning financial assets at the reporting date are as follows. There were no variable rate interest-bearing financial liabilities other than prior year lease liabilities as set out in Note 11.
| Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents |
Variable rate instruments at call Weighted average effective interest rate 2012 ($) 2012 |
Variable rate instruments at call Weighted average effective interest rate 2011 ($) 2011 2,279,643 2.7% |
|---|---|---|
| 935,118 2.7% |
At the reporting date the carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s interest bearing financial instruments was:
| 2012 ($) | 2011 ($) | |
|---|---|---|
| Variable rate instruments | ||
| Financial assets | 935,118 | 2,279,643 |
Sensitivity analysis
A 100% basis points increase or decrease in the weighted average year-end interest rate of variable rate instrumentswould have increased / (decreased) consolidated profit or loss and equity by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2011:
| Profit and loss ($) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | June | 2012 | increase | 9,351 |
| 30 | June | 2012 | decrease | 9,351 |
| 30 | June | 2011 | increase | 22,796 |
| 30 | June | 2011 | decrease | 22,796 |
(ii) Price risk
The consolidated entity was not exposed equity securities price risk at 30 June 2012 or 30 June 2011.

(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. The consolidated entity’s approach to managing this risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under a range of financial conditions. The following are the contractual maturities of consolidated non-derivative financial liabilities:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Korab Resources Limited.
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Korab 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(a), 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 .

The company’s directors are responsible for the integrity of the company’s website. We have not been engaged to report on the integrity of this website. The auditor’s report refers only to the financial report and remuneration report. It does not provide an opinion on any other information which may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial report and remuneration report. If users of the financial report and remuneration report are concerned with the inherent risks arising from publication on a website, they are advised to refer to the hard copy of the audited financial report and remuneration report to confirm the information contained in this website version of the financial report and remuneration report.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Included in the company’s non-current trade and other receivables as at 30 June 2012 is a loan to Polymetallica Minerals Limited (“Polymetallica”) of $789,997. Polymetallica is a company whose principal asset is expenditure on areas of interest in the exploration and evaluation phase. The directors of Korab Resources Limited have advised us that, in their opinion, the loan is fully recoverable based upon the value of the principal assets held by Polymetallica or the ability of Polymetallica to raise additional capital. Whilst we have no disagreement with the view of the directors, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the fair value of Polymetallica’s areas of interest or ability to raise additional capital, in order to form an opinion as to the recoverability of the loan. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any impairment of this loan is necessary.
Auditor’s Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph:
-
(a) the financial report of Korab Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1(a).
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2012. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Auditor’s opinion
In our opinion the remuneration report of Korab Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2012 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (Continued)
STATEMENT CONCERNING AVAILABILITY OF INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
If a director considers it necessary to obtain independent professional advice to properly discharge the responsibility of his/her office as a director then, provided the director first obtains approval for incurring such expense from the Chairman, the Company will pay the reasonable expenses associated with obtaining such advice.
SKILLS, EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE AND TERM OF OFFICE OF EACH DIRECTOR
A profile of each director containing the applicable information is set out in the directors' report.
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
At this time Korab has no remuneration or nomination committee. The board intends to form a remuneration committee during the current financial year.
NOMINATION ARRANGEMENTS
Where a vacancy is considered to exist, the board will select an appropriate candidate through consultation with external parties and consideration of the needs of shareholders and the Company. Such appointments will be referred to shareholders for re-election at the next annual general meeting. All directors, except the Executive Chairman, are subject to re-election by shareholders at least every three years.
When a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new director with particular skills, the Board will determine the selection criteria for the position based on the skills deemed necessary for the Board to best carry out its responsibilities. The Board will then appoint the most suitable candidate (assuming one is available) who must stand for election at the next annual general meeting.
PERFORMANCE
During the reporting period the entity did not have a formal process for evaluation of directors and Executives due to there only being three in total. The Chairman will undertake an annual assessment of the performance of the individual directors and meet privately with each director to discuss this assessment.
REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS
It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board by remunerating directors fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions. To assist in achieving the objective the Board intends to link the nature and amount of executive directors’ emoluments to the Company’s financial and operational performance. The expected outcomes of this remuneration structure will be:
-
Retention and motivation of directors and executive officers
-
Performance rewards to allow directors and executive officers to share the rewards of the success of Korab Resources Limited
The remuneration of the Executive Chairman is decided by the non-executive directors. In determining competitive remuneration rates the directors review local and international trends among comparative companies and the industry generally. Directors intend to consider an employee share option plan during the current financial year.
The maximum remuneration of non-executive directors is the subject of Shareholder resolution in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, and the Corporations Act as applicable. The duration of nonexecutive director’s remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value of the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive director.
The Board may award additional remuneration to non-executive directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Company.

The Board has not yet established an audit committee. It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the Company. This includes both internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of financial and non-financial information.

Management of these risks will be discussed by the Board at periodic (at least annual) strategic planning meetings. In addition, key operational risks and their management, will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.
ETHICAL STANDARDS
