PROJECT SUMMARIES
Meteoric Resources is a gold, iron and base metal explorer with a portfolio of prospects in Western Australia, Northern Territory and New South Wales ranging from grass roots to resource definition stage. During the year Meteoric advanced its Coorara iron project, Tibooburra gold project and Unaly Hill South vanadium project. Project locations are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Location Map
COORARA (Meteoric right to 100%)
The Coorara iron project is situated between Koolyanobbing and Coolgardie in the emerging South Yilgarn Iron Province, and within trucking distance of the Indian Pacific standard gauge railway line. During the year Meteoric Resources completed 25 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 1,659m as part of an initial drilling programme.
The drilling was carried out over an aggregate 1km strike length of targets within a 4km strike length of multiple banded iron formations (BIF) in the northern part of the project area, representing only a very small part of the total 40km BIF strike length within the project tenements. The drilling was designed to test for goethite-hematite with direct shipping ore (DSO) potential associated with the magnetite BIF horizons and targeted areas where sampling has indicated surface grades in excess of 50%Fe and areas where gravity anomalies indicate potential for iron enrichments. Limitations in gaining drilling access over BIF ridges resulted in less than optimum drill hole positions to test some targets and a track-mounted drilling rig may be required in future.
The drilling intersected an intercalated sequence of BIF and ultramafic rocks with the BIF horizons ranging from a few metres up to 60m in apparent thickness, weathered or altered to depths of 30m to 60m below surface. Results are summarised in Table 1.

The drilling confirmed goethite-hematite enrichments in the weathered zone of the BIF, however thicknesses are generally lower and silica content higher than expected when compared to the surface sampling results.
Following the initial reverse circulation, further geological mapping and rock sampling was carried out to identify areas where hematite-goethite enrichments with direct shipping ore (DSO) potential may be developed over greater thicknesses than those intersected in the initial drilling. The mapping and sampling identified several elevated areas with encouraging surface grades. 105 rock samples were taken with significant results shown in Table 2.
Some of the target areas, aggregating several kilometres in length, appear to be remnants of an older land surface where preservation of hematitegoethite alteration of the magnetite BIF maybe deeper and more extensive. Assessment of the potential of the primary BIF for magnetite ore has yet to commence.

ROBINSON RANGE (Meteoric 100%)
Discussions with the legal representative of the traditional owners regarding terms for aboriginal heritage surveys are continuing and although some progress has been made, agreement on terms has not yet been reached. Planning of botanical surveys is in hand but unlikely to proceed until September when seasonal conditions are more favourable for this type of survey.
WEBB IOCG Targets (Meteoric 100% or right to earn up to 70%)
The geological Survey of WA has identified the Webb area as being prospective for iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation. Typically this mineralisation style is characterised by coincident or near coincident magnetic and gravity anomalies related to iron oxides associated with coppergold mineralisation. Meteoric has identified three strong aeromagnetic targets on tenements held in joint venture with Beadell Resources Ltd - see Figure 2. A gravity survey outlined a pronounced gravity anomaly at one of these targets and was drilled in the previous year with some anomalous copper results. Negotiations for access to the remaining two targets, which occur on a separate aboriginal reserve from the first target, are continuing.
WEBB Kimberlite Targets (Meteoric 100% or right to earn a majority interest, diluting)
As part of its regional appraisal of the unexplored West Arunta region, Meteoric Resources acquired a 500sq km package of exploration licences over a cluster of more than 50 discrete magnetic anomalies evident from regional aeromagnetic data in the Webb area - see Figure 2. Meteoric’s geophysical consultants advised that the magnetic character of these anomalies is consistent in shape, size and amplitude with those associated with some kimberlite and lamproite pipes in Archean cratons and Proterozoic mobile belts. The magnetic targets may represent a kimberlite or lamproite pipe field, however they are conceptual in nature and are not based on field evidence as they occur in an area of extensive windblown sand cover with no evident outcrop.

Figure 2
Webb Regional Aeromagnetic Image and Tenure
Meteoric holds a 100% interest in three granted tenements (E80/4235, 4407 and 4408), with rights to acquire up to a 90% interest in tenement application E80/2506. Modelling of selected anomalies by Meteoric’s geophysical consultants indicates vertical pipe-like bodies with depths to the unweathered top of the modelled bodies ranging from 50m to 150m below surface and with diameters ranging from 180m to 300m. The age of the pipe targets is interpreted as post Permian, occurring in a structural depression close to a major faulted margin of the Amadeus Basin and the Arunta Complex. There are no records of any previous diamond exploration having been carried out in this area and the targets are considered to be completely untested.
During the year Meteoric signed a Heads of Agreement with North Australian Diamonds Limited (ASX:NAD) for NAD to explore the tenement package for diamonds. NAD is Australia’s most active diamond explorer and has a long term commitment to diamond exploration and development in Australia. NAD has extensive diamond holdings in northern Australia and has announced an upgraded resource at its Merlin project in the Northern Territory of 30 million tonnes containing a total of 7.2 million carats of diamonds. NAD has completed pre-feasibility production trials at Merlin prior to commencing a feasibility study this year.
Under the terms of the agreement, and subject to completion of an exploration access agreement with the traditional owners, NAD may earn 70% of Meteoric’s rights in the tenements by expenditure of $2.5M within five years of signing an access agreement. A minimum programme of sampling and 1,000m of drilling is required during the first two years prior to NAD’s right of withdrawal. Meteoric has reached agreement with the traditional owners for exploration of the tenements and a helicopter-supported heritage survey has been completed. Subject to clearances from the heritage survey it is anticipated that NAD will commence field work in the next six month period.
TIBOOBURRA (Meteoric right to earn up to 75%)
Heritage clearances have been obtained for a RAB/aircore drilling programme at the New Bendigo, Kink and Mt Poole areas where gold, antimony and arsenic geochemical anomalies have been identified over a cumulative strike length of 10km. The gold anomalies occur within the old Tibooburra goldfield, an area where extensive quartz veining is evident yet where very little exploration or drilling has been completed. Drilling of these gold targets is scheduled to commence in August 2011.
UNALY HILL SOUTH (Meteoric 100%, diluting)
Meteoric’s Unaly Hill South tenement covers a 2km strike length of the Atley Igneous Complex, a differentiated mafic intrusion containing vanadiumbearing magnetite horizons. As previously reported, Meteoric has entered a joint venture agreement with Black Ridge Mining which has identified an 11km-long magnetic zone hosting magnetite-vanadium-titanium mineralisation immediately along strike from the Meteoric tenement. During the year Black Ridge Mining completed five RC drill holes (total 850m) over a 1.2km strike length of the interpreted magnetite horizon. The drilling results are summarised in Table 3.

Drill azimuth 110°, dip -60° True width of intersections yet to be determined Analyses by fused disc XRF method
The drilling intersected vanadiferous magnetite mineralisation in all holes, with an average intersection width of 21m and a weighted average grade of 0.48%V2O5 . This grade compares favourably with the quoted resource grade of 0.48%V2O5 at the nearby Windimurra Vanadium Project situated some 30km to the west.
Vanadium is used in the production of high performance steels for the pipeline, construction and automotive industries and in the production of titanium alloys. Potential future uses include lithium-vanadium batteries in electric vehicles and industrial vanadium-redox batteries.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
Your directors present their report on the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011.
DIRECTORS
The following persons were directors of Meteoric Resources NL (“ Meteoric ”) during the whole of the year and up to the date of this report:
Peter Thomas Roger Thomson George Sakalidis
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the Company during the year were the exploration of mineral tenements in Western Australia, Northern Territory and New South Wales.
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
During the year the Company recorded an operating loss of $1,585,685 (2010: $1,708,118).
The previous year’s operating loss includes $90,300 in respect of “equity-settled share based payments”. This was not a cash outlay and was brought to account by virtue of a requirement at law. Net of this figure, the operating loss for that year was $1,617,818.
DIVIDENDS
No amounts have been paid or declared by way of dividend by the Company since the end of the previous financial year and the Directors do not recommend the payment of any dividend.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
A review of operations is covered elsewhere in this Annual Report.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted loss per share for the financial period was 2.25 cents (2010: 2.70 cents).
FINANCIAL POSITION
The Company’s cash position as at 30 June 2011 was $1,568,233, a reduction from the 30 June 2010 cash balance which was $2,604,951. The decreased cash position is adequate to fund committed exploration expenditure.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the financial period were the placement of 6,000,000 fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.15 each. Those applicants were also issued with 4,000,000 partly paid shares for no consideration although an amount of $0.20 in respect of each of those shares is due to be paid when called by the Company.
MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
No material matters have occurred subsequent to the end of the financial year which require reporting on other than the matters as reported to ASX.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report as the directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that the inclusion of such information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Company carries out operations in Australia which are subject to environmental regulations under both Commonwealth and State legislation in relation to those exploration activities.
The Company’s exploration manager is responsible for being aware of and monitoring compliance with regulations. During or since the financial period there have been no known significant breaches of these regulations.

The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of key management personnel is set out below:
Key Management Personnel Remuneration and Incentive Policies
The Remuneration Committee (“ committee ”) makes decisions with respect to appropriate and competitive remuneration and incentive policies (including basis for paying and the quantum of any bonuses), for key management personnel and others as considered appropriate to be singled out for special attention, which:
-
motivates them to contribute to the growth and success of the Company within an appropriate control framework; aligns the interests of key leadership with the interests of the Company’s shareholders;
-
are paid within any limits imposed by the Constitution and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the need for increases to any such amount at the Company’s annual general meeting; and
-
in the case of directors, only permits participation in equity-based remuneration schemes after appropriate disclosure to, due consideration by and with the approval of the Company’s shareholders.
The committee is to ensure that recommendations are made to the Board with respect to the above.
Non-Executive Directors
-
The committee is to ensure that non-executive directors are not provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation entitlements.
-
To the extent that the Company adopts a remuneration structure for its non-executive directors other than in the form of cash and superannuation, the committee shall document its reasons for the purpose of disclosure to stakeholders.
Incentive Plans and Benefits Programs
The committee is to:
-
review and make recommendations concerning long-term incentive compensation plans, including the use of equity-based plans. Except as otherwise delegated by the Board, the committee will act on behalf of the Board to administer equity-based and employee benefit plans, and as such will discharge any responsibilities under those plans, including making and authorising grants, in accordance with the terms of those plans;
-
ensure that, where practicable, incentive plans are designed around appropriate and realistic performance targets that measure relative performance and provide remuneration when they are achieved; and
-
continually review and, if necessary, improve any existing benefit programs established for employees.
Retirement and Superannuation Payments
Prescribed benefits were provided by the Company to all directors by way of superannuation contributions to externally managed complying superannuation funds during the year. These benefits were paid as superannuation contributions to satisfy (at least) the requirements of the Superannuation Contribution Guarantee Act and in satisfaction of any salary sacrifice requests. All contributions were made to accumulation type funds selected by the director and accordingly actuarial assessments were not required.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
Preamble
This statement is provided in compliance with the recommendations ( Recommendations ) in the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s second edition of the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.
Reference is to be made to this Statement or the Directors’ Report for the information required by the Recommendations to appear in an Annual Report.
Except to the extent indicated in the “if not, why not” exception report appearing below, the Company has resolved that for so long as it is admitted to the official lists of the ASX, it shall abide by the ASX Recommendations.
Due to the exigencies and vagaries of commercial life and changing circumstances, there will, no doubt, be occasions when, especially because of the size of the Company and the composition of its Board, that it can be expected to depart from the policies and charters which it has adopted. These policies have been adopted on the basis that, in the circumstances of the Company, they reflect what is considered to reflect a reasonable aspiration. It is not expected that they will be slavishly adhered to. Their object is to focus attention upon the issues they address and provoke thought about and awareness of those issues and the pitfalls that one could otherwise fall into inadvertently. The important thing is to develop a culture conducive only to good and appropriate conduct and practices.
Honesty and integrity must be the overriding and guiding principle in all things- substance must prevail over form and lip service. The Company intends that adherence to these policies be a condition of each contract of employment or service.
The Board encourages all key management personnel, other employees, contractors and other stakeholders to monitor compliance with this Corporate Governance manual and periodically, by liaising with the Board, management and staff, especially in relation to observable departures from the intent of hereof and with and any ideas or suggestions for improvement. Suggestions for improvements or amendments can be made at any time by providing a written note to the chairman.
If not why not exception report
Except to the extent stated below, during the financial year ended 30 June 2011, the Company complied with each of The Recommendations (set out below). Exceptions are stated in italics following an “If not, why not”: heading.
1. LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT
Companies should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management.
-
1.1. Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions.
-
1.2. Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives.
-
1.3. Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1 .
2. STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE
-
Companies should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties.
-
2.1. A majority of the board should be independent directors.
“If not, why not”:
The Company has a three person board. Two of the directors (namely, Messrs G Sakalidis and RM Thomson) serve as executives and are not considered to be independent directors. As to the other director (namely, PS Thomas), see the “If not, why not” response to Recommendation 2.2.
The Company has a small close knit team which has a positive interactive working history.
Given all the circumstances attendant upon the Company including its objectives, the nature and extent of its actual and proposed operations, its capital base and other resources, the costs associated with a board comprised of more than the minimum number and the need for a board comprised of persons with a blend of traits, skills, experience, expertise, entrepreneurialism, innovation, tenacity, vision and dedication in order to enliven the prospects of creating value for shareholders, this recommendation is thought by the board to be inappropriate.
-
2.2. The chair should be an independent director.
-
16 -
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
“If not, why not”:
The chair, namely Mr PS Thomas, holds securities in the Company (directors are encouraged to own the same), and contributes to the development of its corporate strategy and promotion.
The chair considers himself to be an independent director as he is neither part of nor expected to be a part of the day to day management team. The chair regards himself as being free of any relationship that could materially interfere with his independent exercise of judgement and ability to act in an entirely disinterested manner in all things.
The remaining directors consider Mr Thomas to be an independent director for the same reasons. Refer to the Company’s website to view a copy of its formal policies for further details regarding independence.
2.3.
-
The roles of the chair and chief executive officer (or equivalent) should not be exercised by the same individual.
-
2.4. The board should establish a Nomination Committee.
“If not, why not”:
The Company has a small board which does not perceive that any gains are to be derived through the operation of a formal committee structure. The board will deal with nomination issues on an ad hoc unstructured basis.
- 2.5. Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors.
“If not, why not”:
No formal performance evaluation has been conducted because of the size of the Company and the fact that the directors (of which there are only three) work as a close knit team and each is cognisant of what the others are doing and constantly encouraging the others to secure better outcome for shareholders.
- 2.6. Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to Reporting on Principle 2.
3. PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION- MAKING
Companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision-making.
-
3.1. Companies should establish a Code of Conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the:
-
3.1.1. practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity;
-
3.1.2. practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders;
-
3.1.3. responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.
-
3.2. Companies should establish a policy concerning trading in Company securities by directors, senior executives and employees and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy.
-
3.3. Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 3.
4. SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING
Companies should have a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting.
-
4.1. The board should establish an audit committee.
-
4.2. The audit committee should be structured so that it:
-
4.2.1. consists only of non-executive directors;
-
4.2.2. consists of a majority of independent directors;
-
4.2.3. is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board; and
-
4.2.4. has at least three members.
-
4.3. The audit committee should have a formal charter.
-
4.4. Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 4.
-

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
“If not, why not”:
| “If not, why not”: | |
|---|---|
| The Company has a policy regarding the formation, composition, role, powers and responsibilities of an audit committee although it has | |
| not yet established such a committee. | |
| The Company is small, has a small board with a tight management structure, relies on equity capital for funding and in all the | |
| circumstances of the Company the board does not perceive that any gains are to be derived through the operation of a formal committee | |
| structure. | |
| 5. | MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE |
| Companies should promote timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the Company. | |
| 5.1. | Companies should establish written policies designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and to |
| ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies. | |
| 5.2. | Companies should provide the information indicated in the_Guide to reporting on Principle 5._ |
| 6. | RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS |
| Companies should respect the rights of shareholders and facilitate the effective exercise of those rights. | |
| 6.1. | Companies should design a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders and encouraging their |
| participation at general meetings and disclose their policy or a summary of that policy. | |
| 6.2. | Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 6. |
| 7. | RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK |
| Companies should establish a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control. | |
| 7.1. | Companies should establish policies for the oversight and management of material business risks and disclose a summary of those |
| policies. | |
| 7.2. | The board should require management to design and implement the risk management and internal control system to manage the |
| company’s material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The board should disclose that | |
| management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the company’s management of its material business risks. | |
| 7.3. | The board should disclose whether it has received assurance from the chief executive officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial |
| officer (or equivalent) that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound | |
| system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial | |
| reporting risks. | |
| 7.4. | Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 7. |
| “If not, why not”: | |
| Management has not reported to the board as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks as the | |
| board has not required this of it. | |
| Whilst the board recognises the benefit of the discipline of documenting such matters, the board has deployed its scarce resources to | |
| other endeavours in priority to the preparation of a written report on the matter of risk given the Company has strict procedures in place | |
| and the board has two executive directors so they are well versed in the day to day affairs of the Company and know what measures are | |
| in place. | |
| 8. | REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY |
| Companies should ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to | |
| performance is clear. | |
| 8.1. | The board should establish a Remuneration Committee. |
| 8.2. | Companies should clearly distinguish the structure of non-executive directors’ remuneration from that of executive directors and senior |
| executives. | |
| 8.3. | Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 8. |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The following information is required by the Recommendations to appear in this Statement.
The board has agreed on the following guidelines for assessing the materiality of matters:
1. MATERIALITY – QUANTITATIVE
- 1.1. Statement of Financial Position items:
Statement of Financial Position items are material if they have a value of more than 5% of pro-forma net assets.
- 1.2. Statement of Comprehensive Income items:
Profit and loss items are material if they will have an impact on the current year operating result of 10% or more.
2. MATERIALITY – QUALITATIVE

2.2. they impact on the reputation of the Company;
-
2.3. they involve a breach of legislation;
-
2.4. they are outside the ordinary course of business;
-
2.5. they could affect the Company’s rights to its assets;

-
2.7. they involve a contingent liability that would have a probable effect of 5% or more on Statement of Financial Position or Statement of Comprehensive Income items; or
-
2.8. they will have an effect on operations which is likely to result in an increase or decrease in net income or dividend distribution of more than 10%.
3. MATERIAL CONTRACTS
Contracts will be considered material if:

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2011
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
This financial report includes the financial statements and notes of the Company.
NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2011.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.
Going Concern
The directors have prepared the financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis. In arriving at this position, the directors have considered the following pertinent matters:
-
(a) cash on hand at the date of this report is approximately $1,442,615;
-
(b) current cash resources are considered adequate to fund the entity’s immediate operating and exploration activities.
-
In the directors’ opinion, the Company is able to continue as a going concern and therefore realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Accounting Policies
- (a) Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account interest rates applicable to the financial asset. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
(b) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by non-casual employees to balance date. 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. There is no liability for long service leave entitlements.
(c) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
All exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed to Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred. The effect of this write-off is to increase the loss incurred from continuing operations as disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and to decrease the carrying values in the Statement of Financial Position. That the carrying value of mineral assets, as a result of the operation of this policy, is zero does not necessarily reflect the board’s view as to the market value of that asset.
- (d) Acquisition of Assets
The cost method is used for all acquisitions of assets regardless of whether shares or other assets are acquired. Cost is determined as the fair value of assets given up at the date of acquisition plus costs incidental to the acquisition.
Costs relating to the acquisition of new areas of interest are classified as either exploration and evaluation expenditure or mine properties based on the stage of development reached at the date of acquisition.
(e) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
- 24 -
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2011
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(f) Income Tax
The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense.
Current income tax expense charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities and assets are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to or recovered from the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses, if any in fact are brought to account.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. 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 assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
- (g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(h) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This policy has no application where paragraph (c) (Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure) applies.
-
(i) Earnings per Share
-
(i) Basic Earnings per Share – Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the loss from continuing operations after related income tax expense by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period.
-
(ii) Diluted Earnings per Share – Diluted EPS is calculated as net loss attributable to members, adjusted for:
-
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
-
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and
-
other discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares.
(j) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of plant, equipment and motor vehicles is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant, equipment and motor vehicles are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amounts of plant, equipment and motor vehicles are 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 that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all plant, equipment and motor vehicles are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for the class of plant, equipment and motor vehicle depreciable assets range between 20% and 100%.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Statement of Financial Position date.
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. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(k) Financial Instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified at fair value through profit and loss, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit and loss immediately.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is calculated as:
the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
less principal repayments;
-
plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount
-
calculated using the effective interest method ; and
less any reduction for impairment.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit and loss.
The Company does not designate any interests in joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity or determinable payments.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (i.e. gains and losses) recognised in other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses). When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit and loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in current assets where they are expected to be sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as non-current assets.
Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2011
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
Fair Value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial Guarantees
Where material, financial guarantees issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. Where the entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118.
The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on:
the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;
the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting; and the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.
De-recognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company 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.
(m) Leases
Lease payments for operating leases (where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor) are charged as an expense in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases, if any, are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.
(n) Interest in Joint Ventures
Interest in joint venture operations are brought to account by including in the respective classifications, the share of individual assets employed, liabilities and expenses incurred and revenue from the sale of joint venture output. Interest in joint venture operations are brought to account by including assets and liabilities in their respective classifications using the cost method.
(o) Contributed Equity
Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.
(p) Share-based Payments and Value Attribution to Equity Remuneration/Benefits
Share-based compensation benefits provided to directors are approved in general meeting by members. Share-based benefits provided to non-directors are approved by the Board of Directors and form part of that employee’s remuneration package.
The International Financial Reporting Standards specifies that a valuation technique must be applied in determining the fair value of employees’ or directors’ stock options as at their grant date. No particular model is specified.
In respect of share options granted, the (theoretical) fair value is recognised over the vesting period as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The theoretical fair value of the options is calculated at the date of grant taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted, the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.

(q) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period.
(r) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which has been identified by the company as the Managing Director and other members of the Board of directors.
(s) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data obtained both externally and from within the Company.
Key Estimates - Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on best estimates by directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Company as they pertain to current income tax legislation and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current tax position represents the directors’ best estimate pending an assessment being received from the Australian Taxation Office.
Key Judgment – Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Company’s development and its current environmental impact, the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
Key Estimates - Impairment
The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
(t) Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company has adopted the following revisions and amendments to AASB’s issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards’ Board, which are relevant to and effective for the Company’s financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 July 2010:
-
a) Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project – AASB 2009-5: The amendment requires that leases are classified as finance or operating by applying the general principles of AASB 117. The Company has assessed that none of its leases require reclassification.
-
b) Improvements to IFRS – AASB 2010-03: Most of these amendments become effective in annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 or 1 January 2011. The 2010 improvements amend certain provisions of AASB 3, clarify presentation of the reconciliation of each of the components of other comprehensive income and clarify certain disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The 2010 improvements did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
An overview of standards, amendments and interpretations to IFRS’s and AASB’s issued but not effective is given in note ‘u’ below.
(u) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. The new standards and interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Terms and condition of contributed equity
Ordinary Fully Paid Shares
Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up of the Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of shares held, regardless of the amount paid up thereon.
On a show of hands, every holder of fully paid ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote and upon a poll, each member present in person or by proxy or by attorney or duly authorised representative shall have one vote for each fully paid ordinary share.
Contributing Shares
Contributing shares require a further payment of $0.20 to become fully paid.
On a show of hands, every holder of contributing shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote and upon a poll, each member present in person or by proxy or by attorney or duly authorised representative shall have a fraction of a vote for each partly paid contributing share held. The fraction must be equivalent to the proportion which any amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid (if any) and payable (excluding amounts credited). Any amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating these fractional voting rights.

NOTE 18 TENEMENT EXPENDITURES AND LEASING COMMITMENTS
The Company has entered into certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on tenements held or joint ventured into. These obligations vary from time to time in accordance with contracts signed. Tenement rentals and minimum expenditure obligations which may be varied or deferred on application are expected to be met in the normal course of business. The minimum statutory expenditure requirement on the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $1,053,376. Of this amount, $70,000 is expected to be met by JV participants as a result of various joint ventures entered into.
NOTE 19 JOINT VENTURES
The Company is or has been party to a number of unincorporated exploration joint ventures which involves the Company “farming into” (earning) or “farming out” (diluting) interests in tenements. The following is a list of unincorporated exploration joint ventures under which the Company has earned, is earning or diluting an interest:
Name of Project
| Name of Project | % |
| Interest | |
| Image Resources JV | 100% with a 1% royalty payable to Image |
| Beadell Resources JV | Earning 70% |
| Black Ridge Mining JV | 100%, diluting |
| Emmerson Resources JV | 51%, diluting |
| Sipa JV | 100%, diluting |
| Awati JV | Earning 75% |
NOTE 20 TENEMENT ACCESS
The interests of holders of freehold land encroached by the Tenements are given special recognition by the Mining Act (WA). As a general proposition, a tenement holder must obtain the consent of the owner of freehold before conducting operations on the freehold land. Unless it already has secured such rights, there can be no assurance that the Company will secure rights to access those portions of the Tenements encroaching freehold land but, importantly, any native title was extinguished by the grant of freehold so wherever the Tenements encroach freehold the Company is in the position of not having to abide by the Native Title Act albeit aboriginal heritage matters still be of concern.
NOTE 21 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years other than the matters referred to in the directors' report or as reported to ASX.
NOTE 22 EQUITY-SETTLED SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
On 27 June 2011, 230,000 share options were granted to employees and contractors to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.2370 each. The options are exercisable on or before 21 December 2015, are not listed, hold no voting or dividend rights, are transferable and vested immediately upon issue. No share based payment expense is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as the options had minimal value on date of issue. The share based payments expense shown in the financial report ended 30 June 2010 amounted to $90,300.

NOTE 23 RELATED PARTY AND RELATED ENTITY TRANSACTIONS Transactions with directors, director-related parties and related entities other than those disclosed elsewhere are as follows: Total amounts owing to directors and/or director-related parties (including GST) at 30 June 2011 amounted to $44,495 (2010: $43,231). The Company has entered into a Serviced Offices Agreement with Image Resources NL ( Image ), a director-related party, whereby Image has agreed to provide the Company with serviced offices at 16 Ord Street, West Perth for a fee of $7,500 per month commencing on 1 January 2010, terminable at will by either party on one month’s notice. The amount owing at 30 June 2011 amounted to $24,750 including GST). NOTE 24 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Native Title The Company has been notified of a number of native title claims impacting its tenements. The Company is not in a position to assess the likely effect of any native title claim impacting the Company. The existence of native title and the policy of the West Australian state government in particular represent, as a general proposition, a serious threat to explorers and miners, not only in terms of delaying the grant of tenements and the progression of exploration development and mining operations, but also in terms of costs arising consequent upon dealing with aboriginal interest groups, claims for native title and the like. NOTE 25 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DISCLOSURE (a) Financial Risk Management Policies The Company’s financial instruments consist of deposits with banks, receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and payables. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the board. The use of hedging derivative instruments is not contemplated at this stage of the Company’s development. Specific Financial Risk Exposure and Management The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments, are interest rate and liquidity risks. Interest Rate Risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. Liquidity Risk The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows, cash reserves, liquid investments, receivables and payables. Capital Risk The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities being mineral exploration, the Company does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Company’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Company’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raising as required.

(c) Net Fair Values
Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arms’ length transaction.
Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted bid prices
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities as presented in the statement of financial position approximate their fair value.
(d) Sensitivity Analysis – Interest rate risk
The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in this risk.
As at balance date, the effect on loss and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows:
| 2011 | 2010 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | ||
| Change | in loss – increase/(decrease): | ||
| - | Increase in interest rate by 2% | (31,362) | (52,099) |
| - | Decrease in interest rate by 2% | 31,362 | 52,099 |
| Change | in equity – increase/(decrease): | ||
| - | Increase in interest rate by 2% | 31,362 | 52,099 |
| - | Decrease in interest rate by 2% | (31,362) | (52,099) |

Voting Rights
The voting rights attaching to ordinary shares are governed by the Constitution. On a show of hands every person present who is a Member or representative of a member shall have one vote and on a poll, every member present in person or by proxy or by attorney or duly authorised representative shall have one vote for each fully paid ordinary share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly-paid contributing share held. The fraction must be equivalent to the proportion which any amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid (if any) and payable (excluding amounts credited). Any amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating these fractional voting rights. None of the options have any voting rights.
