Your directors submit the financial report of the Company for the half-year ended 31 December 2012.
DIRECTORS
The following persons were directors of Meteoric Resources NL (“ Meteoric ”) during the half-year and up to the date of this report:
- Mr Peter Thomas (full period) Mr Roger Thomson (resigned 29.11.2012) Mr George Sakalidis (full period) Mr Graeme Clatworthy (appointed 29.11.2012) Mr Neville Bassett (appointed 29.11.2012) Mr Michael Robson (appointed 29.11.2012)
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The total loss from continuing operations for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 was $484,252 (2011: $698,271).
The Company’s activities during the six month period are summarised in this report which unless otherwise stated, should be read as if dated 31 December 2012.
BARKLY (Meteoric 100%)
During the period Meteoric Resources completed a 3-hole, 392m reverse circulation drilling programme to test an EM conductor and to test below two previous anomalous RAB intersections on the Bluebird gravity ridge, some 30km east of Tennant Creek. The gravity ridge is interpreted to reflect extensive hematite alteration, a favourable host for high-grade Tennant Creek-style coppergold mineralisation.

Drill hole BBRC-2 tested down-dip from an intersection of 8m @ 1.0% Cu and 0.29g/t Au in hole TBRB-717. The drill hole intersected 22m of hematite ironstone before being terminated in the ironstone at 137m because of poor drilling conditions. Significantly, the upper part of the ironstone contains an intersection of 4m @ 4.69% Cu and 0.38g/t Au from 115m (0.5% Cu cut-off), as shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. The remainder of the ironstone contains anomalous copper levels ranging from 0.17%-0.29% Cu, however there was some sample loss in this section which may result in underestimation of the grade if mineralised fines were lost. The target ironstone is surrounded by a broad anomalous copper halo with evidence of talc-chlorite alteration, the ironstone appears to be widening with depth. No sulphides were evident in the ironstone, which appears to be deeply weathered.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Drill hole BBRC-3 tested down-dip from an intersection of 8m @ 0.18% Cu and 0.44g/t Au from 72m in hole TBRB-744. BBRC-3 is situated 120m east of BBRC-2 and in the centre of a pronounced gravity high within the Bluebird gravity ridge. The hole intersected 10m of copperanomalous hematite alteration from 64m. Down-hole EM surveys in BBRC-2 and BBRC-3 did not detect any significant conductors, however this may be due to deep weathering and/or a disseminated sulphide mineralisation style not detected by EM methods.
Drill hole BBRC-1 tested a ground EM anomaly on the gravity ridge and intersected weathered siltstones but did not intersect mineralisation. A down-hole EM survey did not identify any off-hole conductors indicative of a near miss. The ground EM anomaly may have been the result of super paramagnetic effects caused by near surface ion oxides.
The drilling has confirmed the presence of a mineralised ironstone associated with a 600m-long geochemical anomaly (open to the east) associated with a larger gravity ridge, as shown in Figure 2. The gravity ridge extends to the west of the drilled area however it is not currently accessible because of an exclusion zone around an aboriginal site. The copper anomalism, hematite ironstone and talc-chlorite alteration are all favourable indicators of Tennant Creek-style coppergold mineralisation within this 1.6km-long gravity ridge target.
TIBOOBURRA (Meteoric 51%)
Following a review of this project, Meteoric decided to divest its 51% interest in three exploration licences covering parts of the Tibooburra gold field 300km north of Broken Hill, NSW. Discussions with interested parties are currently in progress.
COORARA (Meteoric 100%)
Meteoric holds a 40km strike length of banded iron formations in the South Yilgarn iron province within trucking distance of the multi-user Trans Australian Railway. The iron formations have demonstrated potential for both goethite-hematite and magnetite iron ores as indicated from Meteoric’s limited drilling to date. Meteoric is seeking a partner to assist in the evaluation of these iron formations.
ROBINSON RANGE (Meteoric 100%)
Meteoric is seeking expressions of interest for the purchase of this project in the Mid West iron ore province, where sampling has indicated ore-grade hematite-goethite outcrops of Proterozoic banded iron formations.
WILTHORPE (Meteoric 90%)
Meteoric is seeking expressions of interest for the purchase of this 61,000oz gold resource at Harrods Central and Harrods South.
WEBB (Meteoric 100% and right to acquire 90% of E80/4506)
Meteoric holds 500sq km of tenements in the unexplored West Arunta region of WA covering numerous discrete circular aeromagnetic anomalies interpreted to reflect a possible kimberlite or lamproite pipe field. During the period Meteoric amended its agreement with diamond explorer GeoCrystal Ltd. The requirement for GeoCrystal to list on ASX prior to 21 December 2012 has been replaced with a requirement for GeoCrystal to complete adequate fund raising to cover the first phase of exploration drilling, by 1 February 2013.
GOLDEN VALLEY (Meteoric 90%)
Previous RC drilling by Meteoric on the Rutherford’s Find prospect intersected gold mineralisation over a 250m strike length with a best intersection of 4m @ 10.1g/t Au from 71m. Meteoric is seeking expressions of interest for the purchase of this gold project.

UNALY HILL SOUTH (Meteoric 100%)
Black Ridge Mining withdrew from this vanadium farmin agreement near Windimurra. The exploration licence covers a 2km strike length of the Atley Igneous Complex, a layered mafic intrusion containing vanadium-bearing magnetic horizons. The tenement also covers a 4km strike length of the Youanmi Shear Zone which has demonstrated gold potential evident from historical wide-spaced drilling. Meteoric is currently reviewing the gold potential of this tenement.
WARREGO (Meteoric 100%, diluting)
Joint venturer Sipa Resources is currently reviewing the results of an aeromagnetic and radiometric survey completed on Meteoric’s tenements near the old Warrego copper-gold mine near Tennant Creek, NT.
CORTEGANA (Meteoric 100%)
During the period Meteoric lodged an application and supporting documentation for a 65sq km Investigation Permit over crystalline, coarse flake crystalline graphite occurrences in the Aracena Metamorphic Belt, Huelva province in SW Spain. Several stratabound graphite occurrences and former small mines occur over an 11km strike length within a sequence of high grade metamorphic rocks near the small town of Corteqana. No modern exploration has been carried out in this dormant mining area. Meteoric anticipates that airborne EM techniques should be highly effective in identifying priority target areas for high-grade graphite.
The information in this report that relates to exploration is based on information compiled or reviewed by Roger Thomson BSc, ARSM, MAusIMM, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Roger Thomson is a consultant to Meteoric Resources NL. Roger Thomson has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 edition of the ‘Australasian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Roger Thomson consents to the inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it appears in this report

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2012 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard 134: Interim Financial Reporting .
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on the date of the Directors Declaration.
This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of the Company. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012, together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals and historical cost basis, except where indicated.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates normal business activities and the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
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 $599,710;
-
(b) current cash resources are considered adequate to fund the entity’s immediate operating and exploration activities however, given the state of the equity markets, the rate of expenditure on exploration as a whole has been reduced; and
-
(c) the Company has the ability to raise additional funds by the issue of additional shares or the sale of assets if a high level of exploration activity is to be undertaken.
Accounting Policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.
The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Company.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards of Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been adopted early.
NOTE 2 OPERATING SEGMENTS
Segment Information
Identification of reportable segments
The Company has identified that it operates in only one segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Company's principal activity is mineral exploration.

NOTE 5 TENEMENT EXPENDITURE 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 requirements on the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $704,750. Of this amount, $303,250 is expected to be met by JV participants as a result of various joint ventures. The tenements are located in Western Australia, New South Wales and Northern Territory and are subject to legislative requirements with respect to the processes for application, grant, conversion and renewal. The tenements are also subject to the payment of annual rent and the meeting of minimum annual expenditure commitments. There is no guarantee that any applications, conversions or renewals for the Company’s tenements will be granted. The inability of the Company to meet rent and expenditure requirements may adversely affect the standing of its tenements.
NOTE 6 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
There have been no matters or circumstances that have arisen since 31 December 2012 which have significantly affected or may significantly affect:
-
(a) the Company’s operations in future years; or
-
(b) the results of those operations in future years; or
-
(c) the Company’s state of affairs in future years.
NOTE 7 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Native Title
The Company’s activities are subject to the Native Title Act and Aboriginal heritage legislation.
The Native Title Act recognises the title rights of indigenous Australians. State and Commonwealth native title legislation regulates the recognition, application and protection of native title. Native title may affect the status, renewal and conversion of existing tenements and the granting of new tenements. Indigenous land use agreements, including terms of compensation, heritage survey and protection agreements or other agreement types may need to be negotiated with affected parties.
The Native Title Act prescribes procedures applicable to the grant of tenements which may apply even in the case of, for instance, a granted exploration licence being “converted” to, say, a mining lease. Compensation may become payable in respect of any impact which the grant of any tenements or other activities have on native title. A tenement holder may be liable for the payment of compensation for the affect of mining and exploration activities on any native title rights and interests that exist in the area covered by a tenement. Compensation may be payable in forms other than money, including the transfer of property and the provision of goods and services.
It is not currently possible to assess whether compensation will be payable by the Company to native title holders in relation to any of the tenements but such compensation could be significant.
There may be sites and objects of significance to indigenous Australians located on the land relating to the Company’s tenements. State and Commonwealth Aboriginal heritage legislation aims to preserve and protect these sites and objects from use in a manner inconsistent with Aboriginal tradition. The Company proposes carrying out ‘clearance surveys’ if it considers this to be appropriate before conducting any exploration work that would disturb the surface of the land. The Company’s tenements may contain some such sites or objects of significance, which would need to be avoided or cause delays. It is possible that areas containing mineralisation or an
- Page 14 -
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
==> picture [199 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
economic resource may also contain sacred sites, in which case exploitation thereof may be entirely frustrated. Access agreements will need to be negotiated with affected parties.
Native title, Aboriginal heritage or other indigenous matters are matters of substantial risk (giving rise to the threat that certain tenements may not be granted, access to certain tenements may be denied or delayed in addition to potentially significant cost exposure in respect of things such as negotiations, surveys, incentive payments and compensation to name but a few) as the legislative frame works provide torturous and frequently uncertain routes to the endeavour by both stakeholders (that is explorers/miners and indigenous peoples) to attain certainty.
It is not possible to quantify the financial or other impact native title and Aboriginal heritage will have upon the Company as, amongst other things, the processes involved with:
-
(a) identifying all and only the indigenous peoples with a relevant interest;
-
(b) registering an indigenous land use agreement;
-
(c) obtaining access to land without infringing the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act;
are open ended, can involve substantial delay and cost and there can be no certainty as to the outcome with it being possible for projects to be entirely frustrated.
This could be the case, for instance, even in circumstances where:
-
(a) a native title party consents to the grant of an exploration licence and assists the exploration endeavour thereon (and the discovery of an otherwise economic deposit);
-
(b) the Company, in order to exploit that discovery, applies for a mining lease (or other required approval, consent, authority etc.) but such grant, approval, consent or authority is not forthcoming by reason of an objection by the same or another native title party.
Freehold Access
The interests of holders of freehold land encroached by 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. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure rights to access those portions of the tenements encroaching freehold land either at all or for all purposes but, importantly, the grant of freehold extinguished native title 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 will still be of concern.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the members of Meteoric Resources NL
Report on the Half-year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Meteoric Resources NL, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-year Financial Report
The directors of Meteoric Resources NL are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of Meteoric Resources NL's financial position as at 31 December 2012 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Meteoric Resources NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

-
