CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

A copy of the Company's Corporate Governance Statement has been released to the market via the Australian Stock Exchange ('ASX') and is posted on the Company's web site (www.kalgoorlieboulderres.com.au).
The Company does not have any formally constituted committees of the Board.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to Add Value
The Board of Directors consists of the Managing Director and two non-executive Directors.
As an exploration company, the Directors have taken an equity position to provide funding support and directors' emoluments have been at the lower end of the scale. This has assisted in providing confidence to investors as to the focus and commitment of the Board to achieve its objectives, and to keep costs down. Consultancy arrangements with directors on an as needed basis have also assisted the Company to access required skills and to keep the cost structure flexible and competitive.
The need for access to supporting equity and skills as required, and a flexible cost structure have been greater imperatives for the Company as an exploration company, than the largely mutually exclusive concept of independence, which is much more relevant to larger corporations with substantial workforces.
However, as the Company moves towards becoming a producer, the concept of independence will become more relevant. The access to director skills on a consulting basis will largely be replaced by full time executives. However, the equity holdings of certain directors, and periodic consultancy arrangements may remain.
Whilst the Company will progressively increase the independence of its directors over time, compliance with the best practice in this area is not considered a current imperative, due to the additional direct cost of employing such directors, the view that there would not be an increase in board skills (only independence), and the risk that inefficiency will occur in the board decision making process whilst the independent directors become familiar with the Company's business.
David Prentice is considered to be an independent director.
The Board considers that an independent director is a non-executive director who also:
- Is not a substantial shareholder of the company or an officer of, or otherwise associated $\bullet$ directly with, a substantial shareholder of the company.
- Within the last 3 years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the company or another group member, or been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment.
- Within the last 3 years has not been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provider.
- Is not a material supplier or customer of the company or other group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer.
- Has no material contractual relationship with the company or another group member other than as a director of the company.
- Has not served on the board for a period that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the company.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Is free from any interest and any business or other relationship that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act in the best interests of the company.
The existence of specific relationships does not automatically mean that a Director has lost the ability and willingness to operate independently and objectively and to challenge the Board and management.
The following relationships exist:
- Mr Matthews, Mr Prentice and Mr Allen are shareholders of the Company.
- Mr Matthews is the Managing Director of the Company.
- Contango Consulting Pty Ltd, a company controlled by Mr Matthews, has agreed to provide executive services by Mr Matthews to the Company.
- Mr Matthews is a director of Ronin Management Pty Ltd and holds 33.3% of the issued capital of the company. Ronin Management Pty Ltd was a corporate advisor to the Company during the IPO.
- Mr Prentice is the Chief Executive Officer of Gadens Lawyers, the solicitors to the Company in relation to the IPO.
- Mr Allen is the son of Mr Royce Allen who vended assets into the Company and who is a substantial shareholder in the Company.
One third of the Directors, other than the Managing Director, are subject to re-election at each annual general meeting. A Director must retire from office at the conclusion of the third annual general meeting after which the Director was elected or re-elected. The Directors may appoint a person to be a Director, but any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following general meeting and is then eligible for re-election. The respective dates of appointment of each of the directors is set out below:
| Name | Date Appointed |
|---|---|
| Mr Trevor Matthews | 14 January 2005 |
| Mr David Prentice | 14 January 2005 |
| Mr Kenneth Allen | 14 January 2005 |
An independent review of the conduct of the performance of each Director, and the Board as a whole has not been undertaken during the past year.
The Board schedules meetings to occur in each calendar month, and holds as many additional meetings as the operations of the Company may require. The number of meetings of the Company's Board of Directors is disclosed in the Directors' Report.
Principle 3: Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision-Making
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company's constitution, Directors must keep the Board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Company.
All Directors and officers of the Company are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Company.

All Directors and employees are required to ensure that all transactions in the Company's securities comply with the Australian Corporations Act and Regulations
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
(particularly the insider trading provisions), and the ASX Listing Rules (particularly the continuous disclosure requirements).
Directors and employees are prohibited in engaging in short term trading in the Company's securities. Directors and senior management are prohibited from trading in the Company's securities without first obtaining clearance before commencing the transaction.
Principle 4: Safeguarding Integrity in Financial Reporting

Andit recommendations, internal control matters and any other matter arising from the audit are reviewed and discussed. Recommendations from the auditors are considered, and if deemed appropriate, implemented.
If necessary, the Directors also meet separately with the auditors to discuss any matters raised by them in relation to the management of the Company.
The Directors review the performance of the external auditors on an annual basis and meet with them at least twice during the year. Ord Partners were appointed in 2004. The lead external audit engagement partner is being rotated off at least every 5 years.
An analysis of fees paid to the external auditors, including a breakdown of fees for non audit services, is provided in the notes to the financial statements. It is the policy of the external auditors to provide an annual declaration of their independence to the Board.
Principle 5: Make Timely and Balanced Disclosure
The Company has a comprehensive disclosure policy to comply with the ASX Listing Rules regarding the public disclosure of material information.
The Board delegated the responsibility of ensuring the Company complied with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act to Trevor Matthews, the Managing Director. All Directors are consulted prior to any market release to ASX. Mr Matthews' role includes responsibility for overseeing the co-ordination of information disclosure to ASX, analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED. 30 JUNE 2005
Note 1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report covers Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Ltd as an individual entity. Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Income Tax
The company adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profit from ordinary activities adjusted for any permanent difference.
Timing differences which arise due to the different accounting period in which items of revenue and expense are included in the determination of accounting profit and taxable income are brought to account as either a provision for deferred income tax or as a future income tax benefit at the rate of income tax applicable to the period in which the benefit will be received or the liability will become payable.
Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits in relation to tax losses are not brought to account unless there is virtual certainty of realisation of the benefit.
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 company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
(b) Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of Fixed Asset | Depreciation Rate |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 33.3% |
(c) Investments
Shares in listed companies held as non-current assets are valued by directors at those shares market value at each balance date. Revaluation increments are recognised in the asset revaluation reserve except that amounts reversing a decrement previously recognised as an expense are recognised as revenues. Revaluation decrements are only offset against revaluation increments relating to the same class of asset and any excess is recognised as an expense.
(d) Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditure
Exploration, evaluation and development 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 profit in the year in which the decision to abandon the area is made.
When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
A regular review is undertaken of each area of interest to determine the appropriateness of continuing to carry forward costs in relation to that area of interest.
Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.
Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning the site.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
(e) Cash
For the purposed of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or financial institutions.
(f) Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(g) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of position are shown inclusive of GST.
(h) Comparative Figures
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Potential future income tax benefits attributable to tax losses carried forward amounting to approximately \$62,424 (2004; \$1,624) have not been brought to account at 30 June 2005 has not been brought to account as the virtual certainty of the benefit being realised cannot be assured and will be brought to account over future years as and when the virtual certainty criteria is met. The future income tax benefit will only be obtained if:
- (a) future assessable income is derived of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;
- (b) the conditions for the deductibility imposed by tax legislation continue to be complied with; and
- (c) no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit.

Potential Ordinary Shares Not Considered Dilutive
The Company experienced an operating loss after income tax and it is unlikely that the options to subscribe to ordinary shares would be exercised. Even if the options to subscribe to ordinary shares were exercised, it is unlikely it would lead to a diluted earnings per share that would show an inferior view of earnings performance of the Company than is shown by basic earnings per share.

Note 25: Company Details
The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is:
48 Lake Street Northbridge WA 6003
Note 26: Impact of Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards
For reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005, the Company must comply with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board.
This financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian accounting standards and other financial reporting requirements (Australian GAAP) applicable for reporting periods ended 30 June 2005.
Impact of transition to AIFRS
The impacts of transition to AIFRS are based on AIFRS standards that management expect to be in place, or where applicable, early adopted, when preparing the first complete AIFRS financial report (being the half year ended 31 December 2005). Only a complete set of financial statements and notes together with comparative balances can provide a true and fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cashflows in accordance with AIFRS. This note provides only a summary and therefore further disclosure and explanations will be required in the first complete AIFRS financial report for a true and fair view to be presented under AIFRS.
There is a significant amount of judgement involved in the preparation of reconciliations from current Australian GAAP to AIFRS and consequently the final reconciliations presented in the first financial report prepared in accordance with AIFRS may vary materially from the reconciliations provided in this Note.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
Revisions to the selection and application of the AIFRS accounting policies may be required as a result of:
- Changes in financial reporting requirements that are relevant to the Company's first complete AIFRS financial report arising from new or revised accounting standards or interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board subsequent to the preparation of the 30 June 2005 financial report.
- Additional guidance on the application of AIFRS in a particular industry or to a particular transaction.
- Changes to the Company's operations.
The rules for first time adoption of AIFRS are set out in AASB 1: First time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. In general, AIFRS accounting policies must be applied retrospectively to determine the opening AIFRS balance as at transition date, being 1st July 2004. The Standard allows a number of exemptions to this general principle to assist in the transition to reporting under AIFRS. The accounting policies note includes details of the AASB 1 elections adopted.
The significant changes in accounting policies expected to be adopted in preparing AIFRS reconciliations and the elections expected to be made under AASB1 are set out below:
(a) Reclassifications
AASB 101 prohibits the presentation of items of income and expense as extraordinary, either on the face of the income statement or the notes. The nature and amount of material items will be disclosed separately in the notes to the financial statements.
(b) Property Plant and Equipment
Under AIFRS, the gain or loss on disposal of property plant and equipment will be recognised on a net basis as a gain or a loss rather than separately recognising the consideration received as revenue.
On initial adoption of AIFRS the directors have decided that property, plant and equipment will be measured at cost and that the company will not take up the election to treat the fair values of plant and equipment at 1st July 2004 as deemed cost.
Under current Australian GAAP, the company's property, plant and equipment is depreciated to the extent of its depreciable amount, determined as the difference between carrying amount and residual value. The residual amount used in the determination of recoverable amount is estimated at the date of acquisition and is not subsequently increased for changes in prices. Under AIFRS, the residual amount is reviewed at each balance date and revised to the net current amount expected from disposal of the asset if it were already at the age and condition expected at the end of its useful life.
No adjustments are expected for the Company.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
(c) Impairment
Under current Australian GAAP, the carrying amounts of non current assets are valued on a cost basis, other than exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward, are reviewed at reporting date to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of a non current asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is written down to the lower amount with the write down recognised in the income statement in the period in which it occurs. In assessing recoverable amount, the relevant cashflows are not discounted to their present value.
Under AIFRS the carrying amount of the Company's non current assets will be reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there are indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset will be tested for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount to its carrying amount.
Calculation of recoverable amount
Under Australian GAAP, the recoverable amount of a non current assets was calculated using undiscounted cashflows. Under AIFRS, the recoverable amount of non current assets will be assessed as the greater of fair value (less costs to sell) and value in use which is defined as the present value of future cashflows discounted at the Company's weighted average cost of capital.
No adjustments are expected for the Company.
(d) Taxation
On transition to AIFRS the balance sheet method of tax effect accounting will be adopted rather than the liability method currently applied under Australian GAAP.
Under the balance sheet approach, income tax on the profit and loss for the year comprises current and deferred taxes. Income tax will be recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it will be recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences will not be provided for:
- goodwill for which amortisation is not tax deductible,
- the initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting or taxable profit, and
- differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
The amount of deferred tax provided will be based on the expected manner of realisation of the asset or settlement of the liability, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.
A deferred tax asset will only be recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets will be reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
No adjustments are expected for the Company.
(e) Exploration Expenditure
AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources was issued in December 2004 to facilitate the introduction of AIFRS in relation to the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure, pending the completion of a comprehensive project on accounting for extractive industries. According to AASB 6, it is expected that the outcome will be a revised extractive industries standard that will replace AASB 6.
AASB 6 retains the concept of area of interest accounting. However, unlike AASB 1022: Accounting for the Extractive Industries, AASB 6 provides that for each area of interest, expenditures incurred in the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources shall be either expensed or partially or fully capitalised
Unlike AASB 1022, AASB 6 specifically excludes expenditure incurred before the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources, such as expenditures incurred before the entity has obtained the legal rights to explore a specific area.
No adjustments are expected for the Company.
(f) Restoration Liabilities
In accordance with AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets restoration liabilities will be discounted to present value and capitalised as a component part of capitalised exploration and development expenditure and property, plant and equipment as applicable. The capitalised costs are amortised over the life of the assets and the provision is accreted periodically to the profit and loss as discounting of the liability unwinds. The increase in the provision is treated as a borrowing cost.
No adjustments are expected for the Company.
(g) Share-based Payment
Under AASB 2: Share-based Payments, the Company is required to recognise the goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction as an expense where they do not qualify for recognition as an asset with a corresponding increase in equity. The Company shall measure the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, the Company shall measure their value, and corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2005
If the policy required by AASB 2 had been applied during the year ended 30 June 2005, the adjustments for the issue of the 5,000,000 options exercisable at 20 cents each expiring on 31 July 2008 issued to Royce Allen as part consideration for the purchase of assets would have been an increase in exploration and evaluation expenditure non-current asset of \$400,000 and a corresponding increase in equity. There would be no discernable adjustment for the issue of the 6,000,000 options exercisable at 30 cents each expiring on 31 July 2008 as the options were issued to the Julian Grill, Mark Sampson, Chadwick Everett and Ronin Management Pty Ltd in their capacity as original shareholders and promoters and would subsequently be included in the costs of the Initial Public Offering.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT
To the members of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Limited
Scope
The financial report and directors' responsibility
The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for Kalgoorlie-Boulder Resources Limited ("the company"), for the year ended 30 June 2005 as set out on pages 17 to 38.
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and true and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.
Audit approach
We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's financial position and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows.
We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- · examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report; and
- assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and $\bullet$ the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors.
While we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Independence
In conducting our audit we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001.
