WEBB (Meteoric 30% and right to earn 27% of E80/4506)
Interpretation of a detailed aeromagnetic survey completed during the previous six month period (Figure 2) has identified at least 280 kimberlite targets in the Webb kimberlite field discovered by Meteoric.

Figure 2 Webb Kimberlite Field, Aeromagnetic Survey
A total 7 microdiamonds were recovered from the processing of 73 loam samples collected from within project tenements E80/4325, E80/4407 and E80/4506. A single microdiamond reported in each of five loam samples and a further 2 microdiamonds in one loam sample. The 73 loam samples totaling approximately 8 tonnes were collected on a broad grid pattern over the kimberlite field interspersed with and extending a reconnaissance loam sampling program comprising 67 samples which was completed in 2013 and which reported 4 microdiamonds.
When combined with the 4 microdiamonds recovered from the initial reconnaissance loam sampling program completed in 2013 it brings to 11 the total number of microdiamonds recovered from the project tenements. Six of the microdiamonds, representing over half of the microdiamonds recovered from all loam samples to date, form a relatively tight cluster in the northern part of the kimberlite field (Figures 3 and 4). The occurrence of this microdiamond cluster is regarded as highly anomalous relative to the other more widely dispersed microdiamond occurrences in the project area. There are a number of untested magnetic anomalies spatially associated with the microdiamond anomaly and these targets are now regarded as high priority targets for drill testing. The recovery of kimberlite indicator minerals from the heavy mineral fraction of the loam samples is incomplete and will be reported when all results are received.
The 11 microdiamonds recovered from the loam samples exhibit a variety of forms and colours with half being irregular fragments and the remainder exhibiting crystalline habits including macle, octahedron and cube, all of which are characteristic of being derived from kimberlite. Descriptions of the microdiamonds are shown in Table 1. Further details of the sampling techniques and exploration results are reported in the ASX release of 6 October 2014.
The significance of these results is open to interpretation in that microdiamonds occurring in surface material can potentially be derived from various sources either near or distal. However, the occurrence of a microdiamond cluster spatially related to a number of untested magnetic targets is highly anomalous and provides encouragement to assess the diamond potential of this

The 2014 drill programme was completed during the period, comprising 48 holes totalling 6056m. This programme tested 48 targets of which 40 proved to be kimberlite, bringing the number of kimberlite bodies confirmed to date to 50. Figure 5 shows weathered kimberlite (yellow-brown and cream) and fresh kimberlite (blue-grey) intersected in hole W14RC-002 below cover (brown). Kimberlite samples from the 2014 programme continue to be processed for microdiamonds and indicator minerals. During the period GeoCrystal Ltd earned 70% of Meteoric’s interest in the Webb project by completing expenditure of $2 million.

BARKLY (Meteoric 50%, one sub-block 70% - subject to farmout)
The phase II RC and diamond drilling programme was completed at the Bluebird copper-gold prospect 30km east of Tennant Creek, NT. The drilling returned high grade transitional copper sulphide intersections in BBRC0012 and BBDD0004, as well as several other encouraging intersections. The high grade, broad thickness and the sulphide association indicates potential for significant primary sulphide mineralisation at Bluebird. Intersections include:
-
BBRC0012: 31m at 2.48% Cu, 0.21g/t Au and 0.03% Bi from 116m Including 12m at 4.41% Cu, 0.23g/t Au and 0.02% Bi from 125m And 1m at 11.50% Cu, 1.44g/t Au and 0.04% Bi from 142m*
-
BBDD0004: 16m at 3.02% Cu, 0.65g/t Au and 0.10% Bi from 139m Including 4m at 6.49% Cu, 0.74g/t Au and 0.18% Bi from 141m
-
BBRC0010: 11m at 0.98g/t Au, 0.68% Cu and 0.03% Bi from 77m Including 2m at 3.54g/t Au, 0.25% Cu and 0.06% Bi from 77m Including 1m at 3.45% Cu, 0.95g/t Au and 0.12% Bi from 86m*
-
BBRC0013: 14m at 1.31% Cu, 0.54g/t Au and 0.03% Bi from 162m Including 1m at 3.91% Cu, 0.78g/t Au and 0.02% Bi from 166m
-
BBDD0005: 4m at 1.04% Cu, 0.55g/t Au and 0.04% Bi from 85m Including 1m at 3.45% Cu, 0.95g/t Au and 0.12% Bi from 86m
The positive results from the phase II drilling were achieved even though the broken ground conditions forced the abandonment of holes BBRC0012 and BBRC0013. A zone of broken ground runs east-west through the prospect at approximately 125m below surface, interpreted to be associated with late stage faulting which has enhanced the supergene enrichment at Bluebird. The current interpretation of the mineralisation, including the supergene zone and the estimated metal accumulation is shown in the longitudinal section in Figure 6. Priority drill targets are shown in the dark grey hatching. Cross sections of the drilling are shown in Figures 7-10. A summary of the RC and diamond drilling to date at Bluebird is shown in Table 2. Details of the phase II drilling programme (including the JORC 2012 Table 1) are shown in the MEI/BLZ ASX releases of 28 October 2014 and 9 December 2014.
Hole BBDD0003 (Figure 8) intersected zones of elevated copper and iron in the footwall hematite shale sequence, indicating potential for additional zones of footwall mineralisation. The recent drilling indicates that the ironstone host geometry and the chlorite-hematite alteration patterns are more complex than previously interpreted. Drilling is identifying significant changes in the ironstone composition from magnetite dominant to jasper-quartz dominant, to hematite-chlorite dominant as new areas are drilled. These observations and their relationships with metal zonation and structural architecture are enhancing the understanding of the geometry and controls on mineralisation.
The phase III drilling, scheduled for mid-2015, will aim to test the following targets:
-
The interpreted high grade gold position on the lower ironstone contacts (Figures 7, 8 and 9).
-
Extend the primary copper-gold-bismuth mineralisation at depth (lower hatched target in Figure 6).
-
Test the lateral extent of the supergene enrichment zone (east and west hatched targets in Figure 6).
Reprocessing of magnetic and gravity geophysical datasets has resulted in the identification of nine exploration targets in the vicinity of Bluebird. The highest ranking targets are Red Parrot and Dillon, shown in the longitudinal projection in Figure 11. These two targets are located along strike

Note the priority drill targets marked by dark grey hatching, and the two abandoned holes BBRC0012 and BBRC0013.
*CuEQ grade is calculated by combining the metals of interest based on their prices. In this case Cu% + (Au ppm x 0.66) + (Bi% x 3.84) = CuEQ%. It is used as a visualisation tool only and is required at Bluebird due to the poly metallic and strongly zoned nature of the mineralisation. In this situation a CuEQ% provides a better picture of the overall geometry of the mineralisation than by using copper or gold grade alone. Metallurgical recoveries were not taken into account when calculating CuEQ%. CuEQ% x m is used for the contouring to give a spatial representation of total metal accumulation.

PERSEVERANCE (Meteoric 68.43%, Emmerson Resources 31.57%)
Meteoric holds a majority interest in nine granted mineral leases totaling 145ha in joint venture with Emmerson Resources. The tenements cover the Perseverance and Perseverance Extended copper-gold prospects situated 1.4km west of the Bluebird prospect held in joint venture with Blaze International. The tenements are centered on several outcropping ironstone lenses associated with a pronounced aeromagnetic anomaly coincident with a series of discrete gravity anomalies situated adjacent to the Bluebird gravity ridge (Figure 13). Historical drilling by Normandy Poseidon Ltd in 1987 intersected significant gold mineralisation including:
-
PERC001: 3m @ 43.2g/t Au from 72m
-
PERC006: 4m @4.7g/t Au from 14m
-
PERC009: 3m @ 3.3g/t Au from 77m
-
PERC015: 3m @ 50.0g/t Au from 42m
Copper and bismuth assays are not recorded from these holes. A total of 41 RC holes and 3 diamond drill holes are recorded to have been drilled at Perseverance and Perseverance Extended during the period 1969 to 1997, however much of this drilling is less than 100m in depth and carried out prior to development of modern geophysical modelling techniques. No drilling has been carried out on the tenements since 1997.

During the period Meteoric received an Authority Certificate from the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority to carry out geophysical surveys and drilling on the tenements, excluding a 150m x 150m restricted works area centered on an aboriginal site.
WARREGO NORTH (Meteoric 100%, subject to farmout)
Meteoric holds three granted exploration licences over magnetic anomalies near the old Warrego copper-gold mine (production 1.3Mozs gold and 91,000t copper), the largest mine in the Tennant Creek mineral field. Previous exploration has identified several large high magnetic susceptibility targets, some with pronounced coincident gravity anomalies similar in character to quartzmagnetite-chlorite ironstones associated with high grade copper-gold-bismuth mineralisation elsewhere in the mineral field. The target areas are situated N and NW of the Warrego mine as shown in Figure 12. The largest of these targets is Parakeet, 15km NW of Warrego, where previous drilling has intersected anomalous copper-gold-bismuth values and ironstone alteration.

Figure 12 Warrego North Aeromagnetic Targets
During the period Meteoric entered into a farmin and joint venture agreement with Bulletin Resources Ltd. Under the terms of the agreement Bulletin may earn a 70% interest in the Warrego North tenements by expenditure of $750,000 within two years. The initial focus of the farmin will be the Parakeet copper-gold-bismuth target outlined by Meteoric’s modelling of geophysical data and previous drilling results, which indicate that the earlier drilling may have intersected what could be the copper halo over a large copper-gold system at depth (refer to MEI ASX release of 3 November 2014 for details). Drilling of this target has been delayed until after the NT wet season and is anticipated to commence mid-year.
WILTHORPE (Meteoric 90%)
Meteoric holds a 90% interest in Harrods Central and Harrods South where identified resources total 61,00ozs of gold (refer to MEI March and September 2007 ASX quarterly reports for details). During the period, Meteoric entered into an agreement for the sale of Meteoric’s 90% interest (MEI ASX release 15 September 2014). The sale is conditional, amongst other things, upon the grant of a mining lease over the gold resources.

COORARA (Meteoric 100%)
Meteoric holds a 40km strike length of banded iron formations (BIF) in the South Yilgarn iron province within trucking distance of the multi-user Trans Australian Railway. The BIF sequences have demonstrated potential for both goethite-hematite and magnetite iron ores.
CORTEGANA (Meteoric 100%)
Meteoric applied for a 65sq km Investigation Permit over crystalline, coarse flake graphite occurrences and old graphite mines in the Aracena Metamorphic Belt, Huelva province, Spain in 2012. No modern exploration has been carried out in this old mining district and Meteoric anticipates that airborne EM techniques should be very effective in identifying target areas for high grade graphite in an area close to markets in Europe.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
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 2014 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 2014, 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 which contemplates continuity of business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The ability of the Company to pay its debts as and when they are due and payable is dependent upon the Company raising funds during the next few months.
Should this not occur, there will be material uncertainty over the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statement.
At the date of this report, the directors have considered the following pertinent matters:
-
(a) cash on hand is approximately $139,000;
-
(b) current cash resources together with the expected receipt of funds from the tenement sale and purchase agreement already entered into 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 further 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
==> picture [199 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
NOTE 5 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
During the reporting period, the Company reported that it had entered into a conditional agreement to sell its 90% interest in the Wilthorpe Project for $405,000. The original term of that agreement expired after the reporting date. The agreement has since been modified with the effect that Meteoric has agreed to dispose of 100% of the tenements for the same consideration after having entered into an agreement with Red Dog Prospecting Pty Ltd to acquire its 10% interest in the subject tenements. Payment of the agreed consideration is staged over a period of nine months and is subject to tenement E52/2067 being converted to a Mining Licence. To date, this condition is yet to be satisfied.
Other than the above transactions, there have been no matters or circumstances that have arisen since 31 December 2014 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 6 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
There has no change in contingent liabilities since the last annual reporting period.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
==> picture [595 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
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 2014, the statement of profit or loss and other 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 2014 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.
==> picture [595 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
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.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Meteoric Resources NL is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- (a) giving a true and fair view of Meteoric Resources NL’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
==> picture [595 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
- (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
==> picture [595 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
Emphasis of matter – Inherent uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 1 which outlines that the company’s ability to pay its debts as and when they are due and payable is dependent upon the company raising funds during the next few months.
As a result, there is material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
