Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Chairman’s Address
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to present to you the Annual Report for Minbos Resources Limited (“ Minbos ” or “ the Company ”) for the year ended 30 June 2014.
The financial year ended 30 June 2014 has been a challenging year for many exploration and mining companies who rely on capital raising through debt or equity funding to continue their exploration and development activities. The equity investment market has contracted significantly and even quality projects, which I firmly believe ours are, have not been guaranteed funding. As a result, Minbos’ share price has declined steadily to disappointingly low levels and I know our shareholder base has been concerned at this trend.
I wish to assure shareholders that a prime focus of the Board during the year has been sourcing suitable funding through debt and equity offers to meet the immediate needs of our flagship phosphate project in Angola.
The past 18 months has been a period of significant change and re-generation for the Company in many ways. The business has been strengthened through a restructuring of both our operational capability and Board and executive capability.
During the year, the Company welcomed Mr Bill Oliver, Mr Damian Black and myself to the Board of Minbos. Mr Peter Richards, Mr Scott Sullivan and Mr David Reeves resigned from the Board during the year and we extend thanks to them for taking the operations to this point. The Company has also recently welcomed Mr Lindsay Reed to the role of Chief Executive Officer, whose strong African experience will substantially boost the Company’s expertise and capability. We will continue to seek to strengthen the Board as we move forward, ensuring we have the right team in place to oversee the development of the phosphate assets.
The previous 12 months has also seen a heightened focus on cost reduction initiatives, to reduce our fixed cost base whilst the projects are in feasibility stage. This includes a reduction in our African employee base by 75%, a reduction in our Australian and African office costs, and the rationalisation of our logistics functions. We have also improved our governance throughout all levels of the Company. As a result of these measures, I believe we are now in the best possible shape to move forward with our exciting projects.
We will continue to attempt to divest our non-core interest in Kanzi Project located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Some progress has been made in this regard, but it is a slow moving and difficult process.
The Cabinda project in Angola is awaiting the renewal of its Exploration Permits before proceeding with the bankable feasibility study (BFS). The Government of Angola is processing the renewal under the country’s new mining code, with this process taking longer than initially anticipated. However, the project is well placed and we expect the renewal process to conclude within the short term with funding being finalised thereafter to move the project forward to BFS.
We look forward to an exciting year ahead. I thank our loyal staff for their dedication throughout the last year and I thank you, our shareholders, on behalf of the Board for your support and continued belief in the Company.
Yours sincerely,

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Review of Operations
1. GROUP OVERVIEW
Minbos Resources Limited (“Minbos” or “the Company”) was incorporated on 17 December 2009 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on 18 October 2010 (ASX code: MNB). Minbos is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The information presented in this section is applicable to the year ended 30 June 2014 and up until the date of this report being lodged with the ASX.
Minbos is an exploration and development company with its focus on phosphate bearing deposits within the Cabinda Province (“Cabinda”) of Angola, the adjoining areas of the far western Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and minor tenement holdings in Australia. Through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, the Company is developing the high grade Cacata project, seeking to divest its Kanzi project and continuing to explore over 400,000 ha of highly prospective ground hosting phosphate bearing deposits.
The Company’s strategy is to specifically target the exploration and development of low cost fertiliser-based commodities in order to tap into the growing global demand for fertilisers. Phosphate is an essential component in certain agricultural fertilisers, with the market supported by the increasing global demand for food and bio-fuel products, in tandem with growing pressure on food producers to improve the productivity of existing arable land.
(a) Highlights
The highlights during the financial year include:
Board appointments – Minbos appointed a new Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Peter Wall, a new Executive Director, Damian Black, and a new Non-Executive Director, William Oliver.
Capital Raising – Minbos secured a convertible note facility for up to $800,000 managed and arranged by CPS Capital Group. In June 2014, Minbos made an offer for a renounceable pro-rata entitlement issue to shareholders of two shares for each share held at $0.003 per share (“Rights Issue”) and following the end of the financial year, successfully raised $1.6 million pursuant to the Rights Issue and Rights Issue shortfall.
Future asset divestment – Minbos signalled its intention to divest its assets in the DRC. To date, the Group has completed a Scoping Study which has confirmed positive potential economic returns and has delineated an Indicated Resource of 58.5Mt at 14.2% P2O5, in accordance with JORC guidelines. First Rights of Refusal have been offered to its joint venture partner, Allamanda Trading SPRL. Allamanda have not formally responded on their rights of first refusal but have indicated they are interested in acquiring Minbos’ assets and had engaged in early discussions but no material progress has been made to date.
Tenement acquisition – Minbos acquired two mining tenements in the Carnarvon Shire of Western Australia which are prospective for phosphate.
Cabinda resource upgrade – Minbos reported an overall tonnage increase of 87.2Mt which is an increase of 28.7% of the total resources for the Cabinda Project, with contained Phosphate increase of 4.1% overall. Refer below to Table 1 for more information on the Group’s resources.
Performance milestone confirmed – Minbos received the Final Coffey report in relation to the Cabinda resources which confirmed a resource tonnage of 391.3 million tonnes at an average grade of 9.2% which exceeded the conversion factor required for the release of 25,000,000 ordinary shares to the vendors of the Cabinda project, which were voluntarily escrowed pending the final resource results.
Since listing, Minbos has moved from an exploration company to a company that has a key project in development stage plus a substantial resource. This work confirms that Minbos is on track to achieving its goal of becoming a low capex and opex phosphate rock producer and exporter.

2. CABINDA PROJECT
(a) History and Ownership
The Cabinda licence area covers an area of approximately 200,000 ha and all the known and historically explored phosphate Prospects in Cabinda, Angola.
Historical work was completed by Companhia de Fosfatos de Angola (“COFAN”) during the period 1969 to 1973 and then during the early 1980’s by Energo from Bulgaria. The work included over 45,000 metres of drilling, which identified six deposits within the licence area and preliminary beneficiation test work.
The Cabinda exploration permit (006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM/2010) is held by joint venture company, Mongo Tando Lda (“MTL”). MTL is owned (via local subsidiaries) 50% by Minbos and 50% by Petril Projects Ltd. The Cabinda exploration permit validly expired 20 January 2013 and the joint venture has sought renewal of the permit with the Angola Government, which is processing the licence renewal under the new Angolan Mining Code. As at the date of this report the license has not been renewed. The Board has no reason to believe that the licence will not be granted nor that the licence approval process is not progressing. However, there is a risk that the renewal could take additional time or may not be renewed resulting in Minbos not being able to realise the investment at amounts stated in this report.
The Cabinda licence area contains six exploration projects: Mongo Tando, Chibuete, Ueca, Cacata, Chivovo and Cambota (as shown in Figure 2 below). The most advanced of these projects is the high grade Cacata Project.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Review of Operations
Minbos has classified the Projects within Cabinda into two distinct categories:
Eastern Limb Deposits
Cacata, Chivovo and Cambota make up the Eastern Limb deposits. These deposits are smaller than those of the Western Limb but contain substantial tonnages above 20% P2O5. The Cacata Project is the focus of the exploration activities and is now at the Definitive Feasibility Study phase.
Western Limb Deposits
Mongo Tando, Chibuete and Ueca make up the Western Limb deposits. These deposits are characterised by large tonnage and make up the bulk of the current overall resource estimate.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Review of Operations
Cacata deposit
The Cacata deposit lays on the Eastern most boundary of the exploration permit in Cabinda and currently has a Measured Mineral Resource at 5.0Mt @ 23% P2O5 and an Indicated Mineral Resource at 10.2Mt @ 25.3% P2O5. The high grade nature of the deposit and its excellent location (close proximity to infrastructure and the coast) meant that it became the focus of a near term development project for Minbos.
Cacata Scoping Study
During 2012, the joint venture company, Mongo Tando Limited, completed a scoping study to assess the economics of developing a standalone phosphate rock export operation to produce 0.8Mtpa of phosphate rock concentrate over a 10 year life of mine (“LOM”).
The scoping study delivered the following positive results[1] :
-
Operating costs of USD $57.23 per tonne free-on-board (“fob”) of phosphate rock;
-
Capital cost estimate of USD $157m, based on owner operated mining, road haulage and ship loading;
-
Strong opportunity to further reduce capital and operating costs during the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS);
-
IRR of 40.2 % (pre-tax); and
-
NPV of USD $311m (pre-tax) at a 10% discount rate based on the prevailing Rock Phosphate price at the time of preparing the scoping study of US $180 per tonne.
General
The scoping study is based on the JORC high grade Indicated Mineral Resource announced in April 2012 of the Central and Northern sections of the Cacata deposits and demonstrates the robust nature of the Cacata high grade project.
Mining
Coffey Mining (“ Coffey ”) was commissioned to conduct an evaluation of the viability of mining the high grade portion of the Cacata deposit. The Coffey report concluded that using a truck and shovel approach the high grade portion of Cacata could be mined at a 1.2 million tonnes per annum (“ Mtpa ”) of Run of Mine (“ ROM ”) at a strip ratio of 1.74:1 (waste to ROM) and a ROM bench height of 3.7m.
The economical evaluation was based on the mining equipment being purchased and operated by the owner and a conservative allowance for availability and utilization. Coffey have also made allowances for replacement capital during the 10 year LOM.
Coffey have derived costs from first principles and their experience in West Africa mining projects that:
-
the initial Capex would be USD $9.5m and
-
the average mining cost of USD $5.72/t phosphate rock produced.
Processing
DRA Minerals Projects (“DRA”) was commissioned to conduct a technical and financial evaluation of the viability of processing the high grade portion of Cacata. The basis for the evaluation was a mineral processing test work campaign carried out by Mintek Laboratories (“Mintek”) on a sample supplied by MTL from the recent PQ diamond drilling campaign.
1 Amounts quoted are for 100% of the Project. Minbos currently owns 50% of the project, with the remaining 50% held by Petril Projects Ltd.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Review of Operations
The processing route is a basic washing and selective screening operation which by its nature is a low energy consumer and operator friendly. The processing route as shown in Figure 3 is as follows:
-
the ROM is passed through an attrition scrubber to remove lumps and clay agglomerates;
-
the attrition scrubber discharges over a desliming screen;
-
the screen undersize (-2.36mm) is further deslimed and the oversize (+2.36mm) is discarded;
-
the - 2,36mm + 106 micron phosphate rock is de-watered in a vacuum belt filter and then passed through a rotary drier to produce a 2 - 3% moisture content phosphate; and
-
the concentrate grade is expected, based on the Mintek test work, to be relatively high grade i.e., above the Moroccan benchmark grade of 32 - 33% P2O5.

DRA have derived costs based on their internal data base and experience in African mining projects that:
-
the capex would be USD $54.8m; and
-
the operating cost would be USD $25.12/t of phosphate rock recovered.

Tailings Storage Facility
SRK Consulting (“ SRK ”) was commissioned to conduct a technical and financial evaluation of establishing a 1.0mtpa tailings storage facility (“ TSF ”). SRK derived costs based on their internal data base and experience in African mining projects which indicate that:
-
the capex would be USD $6.8m; and
-
the operating cost would be USD $0.50/t of phosphate rock recovered.
Phosphate Rock Transport and Ship Loading
Ports of Africa (“ POA ”) was commissioned to conduct a technical and economic evaluation of the viability of the logistics of transport by road and ship loading of 1.0mtpa of phosphate rock from the Cacata processing plant to a new ship loading site located 7km from the town of Cacongo.
As part of the Scoping Study, POA carried out a data collection exercise, made a site visit to review potential port sites and assessed existing infrastructure. Based on this and their experience in Africa POA proposed that:
- a 20kt phosphate rock covered bulk storage and truck loading facility will be required at the processing plant site, as shown in Figure 4 ;
Figure 4: Bulk Storage & Bulk Loading Facility
==> picture [476 x 221] intentionally omitted <==
- the phosphate rock product will be transported on existing tarred roads to a new port site just north of the coastal port town of Cacongo, 90km from the Cacata deposit, (as shown in Figure 5 ); and

POA has derived costs from their internal database of projects and experience in African mining projects which indicated that:
-
the capex would be USD $22.5m for the construction of the product handling, storage and loading equipment at the Cacata mine site and the purchase of road trucks;
-
the capex would be USD $57.5m for the construction of the new port area loading equipment and the purchase of marine fleet;
-
the operating cost would be USD $13.63/t for road transport of phosphate rock from Cacata mine site to new port area; and
-
the operating cost would be USD $3.25/t for ship loading of phosphate rock.
Infrastructure
The following infrastructure has been allowed for in the capex:
-
offices;
-
power generation (5 mw) by diesel generators;
-
7km of new tarred road and internal haul roads;
-
water reticulation;
-
housing recreation and messing facilities;
-
workshops for mining, processing, phosphate rock, transport and ship loading;
-
security and fencing;
-
fire fighting;
-
change houses;
-
sewerage disposal;
-
communications and IT; and
-

Capital Cost
The total capital cost has been estimated at USD $157.1m (including EPCM and contingency) as detailed below in Table 2 :
Table 2: Capital Costs
| Description | Cost USD $m |
|---|---|
| Mining | $9.5 |
| Processing Plant | $54.8 |
| Tailings Storage Facility | $6.8 |
| Product Storage & Transport (Land) | $22.5 |
| Product Storage & Loading (Sea) | $57.5 |
| Owners Costs | $6.0 |
| Total | $157.1 |
The capital cost estimate includes the purchase of the mining fleet and the road haulage fleet; this could be reduced by approximately USD $18m utilising a contract mining and road haulage fleet approach. A further possible capital cost saving could be achieved by outsourcing the Marine operation and taking advantage of a deep water port proposed by the Angolan Government at Caio in Cabinda less than 100km by road from the Cacata deposit; this will be investigated in the BFS.
Operating Costs
The cash operating cost has been estimated at USD $57.22/t FOB Cabinda of phosphate rock as follows, as shown in Table 3 :
Table 3: Operating Costs
| Description | Cost USD $/t |
|---|---|
| Mining | $5.72 |
| Processing Plant | $25.12 |
| Tailings Storage Facility | $0.50 |
| Product Transport (Land) | $13.63 |
| Product Loading (Sea) | $3.25 |
| General and Administration | $9.00 |
| Total | $57.22 |
The operating cost is based on owner operator road transport derived from first principles. From an initial estimate by a transport contractor, a saving is expected in utilising the contractor approach and this will be investigated during the BFS.
The operating cost is based on diesel on site power generation. A 35Mw power station is currently being constructed in Cabinda. During the BFS this option will be investigated as it could also provide an operating cost savings.

Minbos Resources Limited – Annual Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Review of Operations
Marketing and Product Pricing
At the target production rate of 0.8mtpa of phosphate rock product, the Cacata project will have a 10 year LOM. Current market analysis shows that this product will be in demand and readily absorbed by the market. Our base case analysis has assumed a selling price of USD $180/t[2] FOB Cabinda as follows:
-
CRU has developed a model for estimating the likely pricing of a new phosphate rock product entering the market which has taken into consideration the phosphate rock grade, chemical characteristics and CRU's knowledge of actual phosphate rock contract provisions.
-
This analysis has determined that the Cacata phosphate rock is likely to trade at an approximately 9% premium to the Moroccan benchmark price which has had an average price in 2012 of USD $193.90 per tonne and is currently trading at US$110 a significant premium to the forecast cash cost of $US 57 per tonne.
The scoping study demonstrates the robust nature of the Cacata high grade project, resulting in the immediate commencement of a BFS.
Beneficiation Testwork
During the 2013 financial year, the Company received positive results from beneficiation testwork on diamond drill core. The objective of the testwork program was to determine the cut-off grade for Cacata deposit which distinguished between material which can be upgraded by scrubbing only and that which requires milling and floatation to upgrade.
For the purposes of the scoping study, an assumption was made that the cut-off grade would be 26% P2O5 for “scrubable” material at a recovery of 77%.
Following the completion of the testwork, in summary, the conclusions are that:
-
The material grading +23% P2O5 can be upgraded by wet screening and scrubbing thus potentially increasing the quantity of ‘scrubable’ material at Cacata and thereby affording the options to either increase the life of the project the mine with a basic low cost, non-flotation processing circuit, or allow the throughput and production to be increased.
-
The phosphate material grading 16% to 23% P2O5 is upgradable by milling and floatation to +33% P2O5.
Phosphoric Acid Test Work
During the 2013 financial year the Company engaged leading global fertilizer company Yara to undertake test work to characterise the quality of phosphoric acid and DAP produced from Cacata Phosphate rock.
The test work demonstrated that:
-
The Cacata phosphate can be successfully processed in the dehydrate phosphoric acid route. The Phosphate rock provided excellent process performance.
-
The level of Cadmium is similar to that found in other commercial rocks.
-
Filtration properties of the phosphoric acid slurry were excellent.
-
Water soluable losses were low, enabling a total P2O5 efficiency in excess of 96% to be achieved, which is at the high end of the normal commercial range.
-
Concentration of the weak acid to commercial merchant grade 50% P2O5 product was achieved.
-
DAP production has high values for both N and P2O5 in excess of the internationally accepted standard for DAP 18:46:0

Review of Operations
Outlook
It is expected that this project will allow Minbos to establish credibility in the global phosphate rock market and thereafter, with a robust cash flow, provide options for the development of additional projects.
The Company’s confidence in the robustness of the project economics has already led the partners to commence work on several long lead items of the BFS such as diamond drilling to upgrade mineral resource estimates and environmental work at the mine and port sites.
(b) Chivovo deposit
The Chivovo Project lies within the same mineralised structure as Cacata and is in close proximity to Cacata. The high grade nature of its deposit will allow it to be assessed as a potential input into the BFS Cacata Project.
The project currently has an Indicated resource estimate of 6.5Mt @ 20.5% P2O5
(c) Cambota deposit
Cambota is the third deposit identified in the Eastern Limb. Initial drill results confirm the potential high grade nature of the deposit and confirm the Company’s understanding that the Eastern Limb is host to smaller but high grade deposits. Additional drilling will be carried out to further test the potential of Cambota.
(d) Future Exploration
The Cacata and Chivovo deposits are located 40km along strike from each other. Both deposits lie within what Minbos describes as an Eastern Limb geological structure and appears to host discrete, high grade deposits.
Project geologists have identified the geochemical ‘signature’ for Cacata and Chivovo and plan to explore the area between the two deposits during the next dry season. Importantly, the Cambota deposit has already been identified (almost half way between Cacata and Chivovo).

3. DRC PROJECT OVERVIEW
(a) History and Ownership
The DRC project exploration licences and applications cover an area of approximately 200,000 hectares and host the previously drilled Kanzi and Fundu-Nzobe prospects. Historical work included approximately 4,000 metres of drilling and some initial beneficiation test-work.
The DRC phosphate prospects lie contiguous to the eastern portion of Minbos’ licences in Cabinda, are a direct extension of the Cabinda prospects and local occurrences of phosphate continue across DRC towards the Congo River.
In August 2012, the Company announced the signing of a Joint Venture agreement (“JV”) with Allamanda Trading Limited (“Allamanda”) for the exploration and development of the Kanzi project and surrounding exploration areas in the western DRC. The JV company, Phosphalux SPRL (“Phosphalux”), is a special purpose DRC registered company, which undertakes the exploration activities across the Kanzi mining permit and several exploration licences, held by Allamanda. Minbos, through its 100% owned subsidiary Agrim SPRL (“Agrim”), holds a 49% interest in the Kanzi Project with a 51% economic interest held by Allamanda.
The licences held by Allamanda and their work status are summarised in Table 4 and illustrated in Figure 7 below.

Since that time, Minbos has attempted to actively engage with Allamanda to agree on terms for the sale of its interests in the Kanzi Project. Allamanda has expressed interest in acquiring Minbos’ interests or assets in the project and does not believe Minbos has the right to sell to third parties.
Since entering into negotiations with Allamanda, it has been reported in African Resources Media that the DRC Government has reached agreement with a third party to proceed with the construction of a small fertiliser plant in the DRC and that it intends for this plant to be fed in whole or part by product from the Kanzi Project.
The DRC Government has responded to Minbos’ queries and asserted that no contracts have been committed to regarding the licences with this entity. Minbos asserts that it has the contractual rights to the licences and will progress negotiations with Allamanda to allow an orderly exit for Minbos and the future development of the project by other parties
While Allamanda initially engaged with Minbos in negotiations to acquire Minbos’ assets, there has been very little communication in recent times. Minbos will continue to monitor this situation and use its best efforts to derive some value for its shareholders.

7. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
A Operations
Minbos is a phosphate exploration company operating in Angola, Australia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to acquire, explore, evaluate and exploit phosphate deposits, and explore prospective tenements for other minerals.
The Group creates value for shareholders, through exploration activities which develop and quantify phosphate assets. Once an asset has been developed and quantified within the framework of the JORC guidelines the Company may elect to move to production, to extract and refine ore which is then sold as a primary product.
The Group is actively exploring and developing its Cabinda Project in Angola and is actively engaging with Allamanda to agree on terms for the sale of its interests in the Kanzi Project.
B Financial Performance & Financial Position
The financial results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2014 are:

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Directors’ Report
Financial Performance
The financial result for the year ended 30 June 2014 is a net loss after tax of $2,680,271 (2013: $6,026,830), as per the table above.
The Group is creating value for shareholders by asset development through its exploration expenditure and currently has no revenue generating operations. Revenue is generated from interest income from funds held on deposit.
During the year, administration expenses decreased by 62% and personnel expenses decreased 38% on the prior year. This was largely due to significant cost cutting within the African and Australian operations. Additionally the Company incurred costs of $126,328 (2013: $2,966,304) due to the impairment of the exploration and evaluation expenditure, associated with the Kanzi Project as the Kanzi Joint Venture licences are still held in Allamanda and have not been transferred to the Joint Venture entity. Finance costs increased significantly to $1,046,442 or 308% (2013: $256,440) due to the Company sourcing additional working capital from debt in the form of convertible notes which attract fees and interest rather than from equity. This change in funding source is due to the downturn in the equity markets during the financial year.
Financial Position
The Group’s main activity during the year was the investment of Cash in the Company’s African Projects, $451,979. The Group’s net assets decreased by 14%, largely due to the increase in borrowings, including derivative financial liabilities, from $550,000 in the prior year to $1,250,000 at 30 June 2014.
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the year the Group incurred a net loss for the year of $2,680,271 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $857,742. At 30 June 2014 the Group had a net working capital deficiency of $1,901,185 (30 June 2013: $576,926).
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Consolidated Entity being able to renew its Cabinda exploration permit and raise additional funds as required to fund ongoing exploration commitments, for working capital and to repay potential liabilities that may arise under the convertible notes.
On 3 September 2014, the Company announced the successful placement of the rights issue shortfall of 447,119,610 fully paid ordinary shares issued at $0.003 per share to raise approximately $1,341,359. The funds will be applied to the repayment of debt and general working capital for the Company.
The Directors believe that the Group will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
C Business Strategies and Prospects for future financial years
The Group actively evaluates the prospects of each project as results from each exploration programme become available, these results are available via the ASX platform for shareholders information. The Group then assesses the continued exploration expenditure and further asset development. The Group will continue the evaluation of its mineral projects in the future and undertake generative work to identify and acquire new resource projects.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Directors’ Report
There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Group and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Group and the Directors. The risks identified below, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Group and the market price of the Company’s shares.
a) Risk relating to renewal of Cabinda Exploration Licence
In order to undertake exploration activities on the Cabinda Project, a valid Exploration Licence is required. The existing Licence to the Cabinda Project, held by a subsidiary of the Company’s Joint Venture, Mongo Tando, Lda expired in the previous financial year. The Joint Venture has submitted the application for renewal of the Cabinda Project Licence and at the date of this report the Licence has not been renewed. As a result there is a risk that the Licence could take additional time to be renewed or may not be renewed and the exploration expenditure relating to the Cabinda Project may be impaired.
b) Operating Risks
The operations of the Company may be affected by various factors, including failure to locate or identify mineral deposits, failure to achieve predicted grades in exploration and mining, operational and technical difficulties encountered in mining, difficulties in commissioning and operating plant and equipment, mechanical failure or plant breakdown, unanticipated metallurgical problems which may affect extraction costs, adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment.
c) Environmental Risks
The operations and proposed activities of the Company are subject to the laws and regulations of Angola, Australia and the DRC concerning the environment. As with most exploration projects and mining operations, the Company’s activities are expected to have an impact on the environment, particularly if advanced exploration or mine development proceeds. It is the Company’s intention to conduct its activities to the highest standard of environmental obligation, including compliance with all environmental laws.
d) Economic
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
e) Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
-
i. general economic outlook;
-
ii. introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
iii. interest rates and inflation rates;
-
iv. changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
v. the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
vi. terrorism or other hostilities.
The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resource exploration stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Directors’ Report
f) Additional requirements for capital
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income, the Company will require further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.
g) Speculative investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s shares.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether invest.
8. DIVIDENDS
No dividend has been paid during the financial year and no dividend is recommended for the financial year.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Directors’ Report
A Remuneration Philosophy
Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group. Key management personnel of Minbos comprise the Board of Directors, the Chief Financial Officer (resigned 30 August 2013) and the Chief Executive Officer (appointed 1 September 2014).
The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its key management personnel. To prosper the Company must attract, motivate and retain appropriately skilled Directors and Executives.
The Group’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality.
No remuneration consultants were employed during the financial year.
B Remuneration Governance, Structure and Approvals
Remuneration of Directors is currently set by the Board of Directors. The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee at this point in the Group's development, nor has the Board engaged the services of an external remuneration consultant. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Group renders this impractical. The Board is primarily responsible for:
-
The over-arching executive remuneration framework;
-
Operation of the incentive plans which apply to executive directors and senior executives (the executive team), including key performance indicators and performance hurdles;
-
Remuneration levels of executives, and
-
Non-executive director fees.
Their objective is to ensure that remuneration policies and structures are fair and competitive and aligned with the long-term interests of the Company.
Non-Executive Remuneration Structure
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees, payable in arrears. From May 2013 the Board agreed to defer all Non-Executive Director fees and accrue them for the purpose of this report. The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors fee pool shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2010 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 30 November 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of $300,000 per year (in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement that accompanied the Notice of Meeting). The Board will not seek any increase for the Non-Executive Director pool at the 2014 Annual General Meeting.
Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is based on fees approved by the Board of Directors and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Non-Executive Directors do not receive retirement benefits but are able to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy.
The remuneration of Non-Executives is detailed in Table 1, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Directors’ Report
Non-Executive Remuneration Approvals
The Board, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, sets the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, subject to shareholder approval. Within this pre-approved aggregate remuneration pool, fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are approved by the Board of Directors in the absence of the Remuneration Committee and is set at levels to reflect market conditions and encourage the continued services of the Directors. Remuneration may also include an invitation to participate in share-based incentive programmes in accordance with Company policy.
The nature and amount of remuneration is collectively considered by the Board of Directors with reference to relevant employment conditions and fees commensurate to a company of similar size and level of activity, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of high performing Directors.
Executive Remuneration Structure
The nature and amount of remuneration of executives are assessed on a periodic basis with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high performing Executives.
The main objectives sought when reviewing executive remuneration is that the Company has:
-
Coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain executives;
-
Executives who will create value for shareholders;
-
Competitive remuneration offered benchmarked against the external market; and
-
Fair and responsible rewards to Executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the Executives and the general pay environment.
The remuneration of Executives is detailed in Table 1, and their contractual arrangements are disclosed in “Section E – Contractual Arrangements”.
Executive Remuneration Approvals
The Company aims to reward Executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and aligned with market practice. Executive contracts are reviewed annually by the Board, in the absence of a Remuneration Committee, for their approval. The process consists of a review of company, business unit and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration internally and externally and, where appropriate, external advice independent of management.
Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be aligned with the Company’s vision, values and overall business objectives. Executive remuneration and incentive policies and practices must be designed to motivate management to pursue the Company’s long term growth and success and demonstrate a clear relationship between the Company’s overall performance and the performance of executives.

Directors’ Report
Short Term Incentive Package
In the previous financial year the Board appointed Mr Sullivan as Managing Director and offered him a short term incentive package as part of his Executive Services Agreement. Mr Sullivan was eligible for a short term incentive package of up to 30% of his salary, payable in cash or shares, or a combination of both, as agreed between the Company and the Executives. This short term incentive package was based upon consideration of key performance indicators of Mr Sullivan, which the Company was able to set from time to time. Mr Sullivan resigned as Managing Director on 21 February 2014 and did not receive any short term incentive remuneration during the financial year.
There were no short term incentive based payments made during the financial year (2013: nil).
Long Term Incentive Package
Remuneration Plan:
In the previous financial year the Board implemented an employee share plan to deliver remuneration in the form of equity in Minbos Resources Limited which, under the Minbos Board’s discretion, may be awarded from time to time. The employee share plan was approved at the Company’s General Meeting on 14 March 2013 and the purpose was to:
-
Support employee retention;
-
Enhance employee involvement and focus; and
-
Increase wealth distribution among the employees.
On 1 September 2014, the Company employed Lindsay Reed as Chief Executive Officer and agreed to allow Mr Reed to participate in its existing employee share plan (approved on 14 March 2013, at the General Meeting of the Company) on the following terms:
-
(a) As soon as practicable, the Company will issue to the Executive 37,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.003 per share;
-
(b) The initial shares will be subscribed for using a limited recourse loan made available by the Company to the Executive in accordance with the terms of the employee share plan;
-
(c) The vesting conditions for the initial shares will be agreed to the Board prior to the date of issue of the initial shares, but will include:
-
a. A minimum period of service with the Company;
-
b. Share price milestone; and
-
c. Project development milestones; and
-
(d) The number of shares issued to the Executive under the employee share plan will be reviewed on an annual basis by the Company.
On 14 March 2013, at the General Meeting of the Company, shareholders approved the issue of 6,000,000 shares to Mr Sullivan under the employee share plan. The shares have been issued at $0.04 per share with a total value of $240,000 and will be held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan until the vesting conditions are satisfied. For further details regarding the vesting conditions refer to Note 26: Employee Share Plan Reserve.
In the previous financial year the Board also approved and issued 2,000,000 shares to Mr Carter under the employee share plan. These shares have been issued at $0.04 per share with a total value of $80,000 and were held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan until the vesting conditions were satisfied. For further details regarding the vesting conditions refer to Note 26: Employee Share Plan Reserve.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Directors’ Report
Options:
The Board feels that the expiry date and exercise price of the options currently on issue to the Directors, other Key Management Personnel and its Executives is a sufficient, long term incentive to reward Executives in a manner which aligns the element of remuneration with the creation of shareholder wealth. Subsequently, the issue of options are not linked to performance conditions because by setting the option price at a level above the current share price at the time the options are granted, provides incentive for management to improve the Group’s performance.
Currently, 222,483,333 options are on issue, of which 5,000,000 have been issued to Key Management Personnel.
During the 2014 financial year the Company issued 5,000,000 unlisted options to William Oliver (Non-Executive Director) to provide a performance incentive component in the remuneration package to motive, reward and further align the Director’s interest with that of the shareholders. During the financial year there were no shares issued upon exercise of options. Subsequent to 30 June 2014, no options have been exercised nor did any options lapse. When exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary share of the Company.
Table 2 provides details on the value of options vested and Table 3 provides details of options granted to Key Management Personnel.
D Details of Remuneration
During the financial year ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013, Key Management Personnel received short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, share-based payments and employee benefits expenses.

Corporate Governance Statement
2. Structure the board to add value
2.1 A majority of the board should be independent directors.
In making this assessment, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Relationships that the Board will take into consideration when assessing independence are whether a Director:
-
is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;
-
is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;
-
has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or another Company member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided;
-
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or
-
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director.
Currently Messrs Wall, Black and Catulichi were or are substantial shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares in the Company, therefore deeming them to be not independent. Mr Oliver is a NonExecutive Director and is considered to be independent.
The Company currently maintains a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience, however, is aware of the importance of having a Board with a majority of its directors being independent. In the future, the Company intends to seek out and appoint independent directors to the Board when additional directors are required in order to meet the ASX recommendation of maintaining a majority of independent Non-Executive Directors.
During the period:
Mr Catulichi is a Non-Executive Director and was not deemed to be independent during the period as he was a substantial shareholder of the Company until July 2014.
Mr Reeves was a Non-Executive Director and was not deemed to be independent during the period as he was a substantial shareholder of the Company. Mr Reeves resigned on 21 February 2014.
Mr Sullivan was not deemed to be independent during the period as he was an Executive Director of the Company. Mr Sullivan resigned on 21 February 2014.
Mr Richards was not deemed to be independent during the period as he was an Executive Director of the Company for 4 months in the prior year. Mr Richards was subsequently appointed Non-Executive Director of the Company however is not considered to be independent for a period of 3 years following the ceasing of the Executive role. Mr Richards resigned on 6 August 2014.
Mr Oliver is a Non-Executive Director and is considered to be independent.
Mr Wall is the Non-Executive Chairman however is not deemed to be independent during the period as he was a substantial shareholder of the Company.

| 2. | Structure the board to add value |
|---|---|
| 2.2 | The chair should be an independent director. |
| During the period, the role of Chairman was performed by Non-Executive Directors and the Managing Director who were not considered independent due to substantial shareholdings or their due to their previous executive roles. The Company intends to seek out and appoint an independent chairman in the future as operations expand; however, due to the current composition of the Board and the current scale of the Company’s operations it may not be appropriate to appoint an independent chairman for some time. |
|
| 2.3 | The roles of chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual. |
| The role of Chief Executive Officer was performed by Mr Scott Sullivan as Managing Director until his resignation. For seven months of the year, the role of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman was being fulfilled by the same individual. Following the resignation of Mr Sullivan in February 2014, Mr Peter Wall was appointed Non-Executive Chairman and Mr Damian Black was also appointed Executive Director therefore the same individual was not performing both roles from February 2014. In September 2014 the Companyappointed Mr LindsayReed as Chief Executive Officer. |
|
| 2.4 | The board should establish a nomination committee. |
| The Company is currently not of a relevant size that requires the formation of a separate Nomination Committee and there are not a sufficient number of independent directors to form a separate committee. Therefore, the Board has developed a nomination committee charter and the matters typically dealt with by such a committee are dealt with by the Board of Directors. The charter is available on the Company’s website www.minbos.com When a board vacancy becomes available, the Board will consider the existing mix of skills of the existing Board and define the skill set that will be sought in candidates to fill the vacancy. Directors will review a range of suitable candidates and may obtain the services of a reputable recruitment agent to assist with candidate selection. The most appropriate candidate will be appointed to the role until the director is elected bymembers at the next annualgeneral meetingof the Company. |
|
| 2.5 | Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors. |
| The Board has a process for performance evaluation to ensure that the responsibilities of the Board are discharged in an appropriate manner. The performance of the Board will be reviewed annually by the Chair; and the performance of the Chair will be reviewed annually by the rest of the Board. Directors whose performance is consistently unsatisfactory may be asked to retire. Theperformance of the Board has been reviewed and evaluated internallyduringtheperiod. |
|
| 2.6 | Companies shouldprovide the information indicated in the**Guide to reporting on Principle 2. ** |
| The Company has provided details of each director, their skills, and experience in Section 1 of the Directors’ Report. The Board, Board Committees or individual Directors may seek independent external professional advice as considered necessary at the expense of the Company, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman. A copy of any such advice received is made available to all members of the Board.

8. Remunerate fairly and responsibly
8.1 The Board should establish a remuneration committee.
The Board has not established a remuneration committee at this point in the Company’s development. It is considered that the size of the Board along with the level of activity of the Company and the number of independent directors renders this impractical. The full Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible.
The remuneration philosophy, structure and approvals process is explained in detail in Section 12 of the audited Remuneration Report contained within the Directors’ Report.
8.2 The remuneration committee should be structured so that it:

consists of a majority of independent directors
-
is chaired by an independent director, who is not the chair of the Board
-
has at least three members
The Board has not established a remuneration committee and the Board considers in detail all of the matters for which the directors are responsible.
The Company does not comply with ASX Principle 8.2 as the majority of the Board is not independent and the Board performs the role of the committee. The Board is comprised of four members and the Non-Executive Chairman performs the duties of the Chair for all matters that would be in the scope of a committee. The Board has adopted a formal charter of a remuneration committee, as disclosed in the Corporate Governance Plan available on the Company’s website. www.minbos.com
Though the Company intends to seek out and appoint additional independent directors to the Board when the size and scale of the Company justify and warrant their inclusion, for the time being the Company maintains a mix of Directors from different backgrounds with complementary skills and experience.
8.3 Companies should clearly distinguish the structure of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration from that of Executive Directors and Senior Executives.
The Company clearly distinguishes the policy and structure of Executive and Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration and has been explained in detail in Section 12 of the audited Remuneration Report contained within the Directors’ Report.

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 10 from 1 July 2013, which has a new definition of 'control'. Control exists when the reporting entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 'power' over that other entity. A reporting entity has power when it has rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns. The consolidated entity not only has to consider its holdings and rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes.
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 11 from 1 July 2013. The standard defines which entities qualify as joint arrangements and removes the option to account for joint ventures using proportional consolidation. Joint ventures, where the parties to the agreement have the rights to the net assets are accounted for using the equity method. Joint operations, where the parties to the agreements have the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, will account for its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses separately under the appropriate classifications.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 12 from 1 July 2013. The standard contains the entire disclosure requirement associated with other entities, being subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements (joint operations and joint ventures) and unconsolidated structured entities. The disclosure requirements have been significantly enhanced when compared to the disclosures previously located in AASB 127 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements', AASB 128 'Investments in Associates', AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and Interpretation 112 'Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities'.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 13 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard provides a single robust measurement framework, with clear measurement objectives, for measuring fair value using the 'exit price' and provides guidance on measuring fair value when a market becomes less active. The 'highest and best use' approach is used to measure non-financial assets whereas liabilities are based on transfer value. The standard requires increased disclosures where fair value is used.
AASB 119 Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011)
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 119 and its consequential amendments from 1 July 2013. The standard eliminates the corridor approach for the deferral of gains and losses; streamlines the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring remeasurements to be presented in other comprehensive income; and enhances the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The standard also changed the definition of short-term employee benefits, from 'due to' to 'expected to' be settled within 12 months. Annual leave that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months is now discounted allowing for expected salary levels in the future period when the leave is expected to be taken.
AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (Revised), AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Reissued) and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 127, AASB 128 and AASB 2011-7 from 1 July 2013. AASB 127 and AASB 128 have been modified to remove specific guidance that is now contained in AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12 and AASB 2011-7 makes numerous consequential changes to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations. AASB 128 has also been amended to include the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures.
None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2013 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods.
(c) Early adoption of standards
The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2013.
(d) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the year the Group incurred a net loss for the year of $2,680,271 and incurred net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $857,742. At 30 June 2014 the Group had a net working capital deficiency of $1,901,185 (30 June 2013: $576,926) and had to extend the payment terms with its creditors to ensure the Company did not breach its obligations.
61 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Consolidated Entity being able to renew its Cabinda exploration permit and raise additional funds as required to fund ongoing exploration commitments, for working capital and to repay potential liabilities that may arise under the convertible notes.
On 3 September 2014, the Company announced the successful placement of the rights issue shortfall of 447,119,610 fully paid ordinary shares issued at $0.003 per share to raise approximately $1,341,359. The funds will be applied to the repayment of debt and general working capital for the Company.
The Directors believe that the Group will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
(e) Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the Group.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes:
-
(i) Note 8: Income Tax Expense - The Group is subject to income taxes in Australia, Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo. Significant judgement is required when determining the Group’s provision for income taxes. The Group estimates its tax liabilities based on the Group’s understanding of the tax law. No tax liabilities are recognised in 2014 (2013: nil) for the group.
-
(ii) Note 14: Exploration and evaluation expenditure - The Group’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation is set out in note 3(k). If, after having capitalised expenditure under this policy, the Directors conclude that the Group is unlikely to recover the expenditure by future exploration or sale, then the relevant capitalised amount will be written off to the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. At 30 June 2014, Allamanda continued to hold the Kanzi Joint Venture licences, accordingly the Group has impaired the exploration expenditure incurred during the financial year until the licences are transferred to the Joint Venture entity.
The Cabinda exploration permit validly expired 20 January 2013 and the joint venture has sought renewal of the permit with the Angola Government, which is processing the licence renewal under the new Angolan Mining Code. As at the date of this report the license has not been renewed. The Board has no reason to believe that the licence will not be granted nor that the licence approval process is not progressing. However, there is a risk that the renewal could take additional time or may not be renewed resulting in Minbos not being able to realise the investment at amounts stated in this report.

(iii) Note 19: Derivative Financial Liabilities – The collateral shares and the embedded derivative option component of the convertible note with Lind is classified as a derivative financial liability. The fair value of the convertible note derivative has been determined by computing the fair value of the Collateral Shares and the Convertible Security which were issued to Lind during the period. To determine the average 3 daily VWAP of Minbos as at maturity, the Company has used a Monte Carlo simulation. This simulation also takes into account the exercise price, the term of the security, the Company’s share price at reporting period, the expected volatility of the underlying share price and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). The expected volatility is based upon two year historical volatility adjusted for abnormal spikes in the Company’s share price.
-
(iv) Note 25: Share-based payments - The Group measures the cost of equity settled share based payments at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Binomial option pricing model and/or the Monte Carlo option pricing model, taking into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date, the expected volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Minbos Resources Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) as at 30 June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Minbos Resources Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the Consolidated Entity.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.
(ii) Associates
Associates are entities over which the consolidated entity has significant influence but not control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the associate is recognised in profit or loss and the share of the movements in equity is recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the consolidated entity's share of net assets of the associates. Dividends received or receivable from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
When the consolidated entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term receivables, the consolidated entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
63 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(iii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any differences between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Minbos Resources Limited.
When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
(b) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the Board of Directors.
(c) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Australian dollars. The functional currency of the subsidiaries are United States dollars (USD) and South African Rand (ZAR).
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investments in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position,
-
Income and expenses for each Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
-
All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
(d) Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.
(i) Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
(e) Income tax
The income tax expense for the financial year is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax losses, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities settled based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. Exceptions are made for certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary difference and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax base of investments in subsidiaries, associated and interests in joint ventures where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
(f) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, short term bills and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
(h) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts. Trade and other receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
(i) Financial instruments
(i) Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in Note 4: Financial Risk Management.
66 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(iii) Impairment
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the assets (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost it considered an indicator that the assets are impaired.
(iv) Assets carried at amortised cost
For loans and receivables, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. If a loan or held-to maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate or measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(j) Plant and equipment
(i) Owned assets
Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a work condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
(ii) Subsequent costs
The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as an expense as incurred.
67 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income using a straight line method over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of plant and equipment.
The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
Computer equipment: 3 years
-
Vehicles: 5 years
-
Office equipment: 6 to 10 years
The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.
(k) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure, which are intangible costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Consolidated Entity has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current and either:
-
(i) the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest; or
-
(ii) activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or other wise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if (i) sufficient data exists to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability, and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing, exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration activity relates. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mineral property and development assets within plant and equipment.
(l) Other financial assets
The Group classifies its other financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the other financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its other financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non-current assets.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, net of any impairment losses in the Parent entity’s financial statements.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(m) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(n) Borrowings Costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
(o) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.
Convertible note liability and derivative
Convertible note issued by the Company comprise a convertible note that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder and a convertible note derivative whose fair value changes with the Company’s underlying share price.
The liability component of a convertible note is recognised initially at fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The embedded derivative component is firstly recognised at fair value and the liability component is calculated as the difference between the financial instruments as a whole and the value of the derivative at inception. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the convertible note liability and convertible note derivative in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. The fair value of the derivative portion has been valued using a valuation technique including inputs that include reference to similar instruments and options pricing models. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of the convertible note is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The convertible note derivative is measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The convertible note liability and derivatives are removed from the Consolidate Statement of Financial Position when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged. This can occur upon the option holder exercising their option or the option period lapses requiring the Company to discharge the obligation. Both the convertible note liability and derivative are classified as current liability as the option holder has the right to convert at any time.
Certain convertible notes issued by the Group which includes embedded derivatives (holder’s option to convert to variable number of shares) are recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the fair value of the convertible note will equate to the proceeds received and subsequently the liability is measured at fair value at each reporting period until settlement the fair value movements are recorded in the profit and loss at cost.
(p) Provisions
A provision is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
69 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(i) Site restoration
In accordance with the Consolidated Entity’s environmental policy and applicable legal requirements, a provision for site restoration in respect of contaminated land is recognised when the land is contaminated.
The provision is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the reporting date, based on current legal requirements and technology. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at the end of the reporting period.
The amount of the provision for future restoration costs is capitalised and is depreciated over the useful life of the mineral reserve. The unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost.
(q) Employee benefits
(i) Share-based payments
The share option programme allows the Consolidated Entity employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee or consultant expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and Binomial option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted including market conditions attached to the grant. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
(ii) Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Consolidated Entity expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.
(r) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, for example as a result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(s) Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the year in which they are paid and appropriately authorised.
(t) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(u) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as a current asset or liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
(v) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange prices. Ageing analyses and monitoring of specific credit allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity risk is monitored through the development of future cash flow forecasts.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified external advisors.
The main risks arising for the Group are foreign exchange risk, price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments are as follows:
| Financial assets Cash & cash equivalents Trade & other receivables Other financial assets Financial liabilities Trade & other payables Borrowings Derivative financial instrument Net exposure |
30-Jun-14 30-Jun-13 |
|---|---|
| $ $ 30,727 53,685 13,653 123,765 4,436,645 4,213,808 |
|
| 4,481,025 4,391,258 |

|
| 2,644,062 3,653,960 |
(a) Market Risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
72 | P a g e
Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(ii) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk on its financial liabilities.
The Group has no policy for mitigating potential adversities associated with its own equity price risk given its dependence on market fluctuations.
As at the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following equity price risk profile in relation to its financial liabilities:
| financial liabilities: | |
|---|---|
| Convertible note derivative | 30-Jun-14 30-Jun-13 |
| $ $ - (231,881) |
Sensitivity
The Group is exposed to equity price risk on its derivative as the exercise price on the derivative moves in equal proportions with any movement of the Company’s share price. The Directors however believe that any change to its convertible note derivative will not have a material impact on the profit or loss of the Group.
(iii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk due to variable interest being earned on its interest-bearing bank accounts. At the end of the reporting period, the Group had the following interest-bearing financial instruments:
| Cash & cash equivalents | 30-Jun-14 30-Jun-13 |
|---|---|
| Balance Balance $ $ Weighted average interest rate Weighted average interest rate |
|
| 0.22% 30,727 2.54% 53,685 |
Sensitivity
Within this analysis, consideration is given to potential renewals of existing positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date. The 3% increase and 1% decrease in rates is based on reasonably expected possible changes over a financial year, using the observed range of historical rates for the preceding five year period with an emphasis on rates observed during recent years of global financial crisis.
At 30 June 2014, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with all other variables held constant, post-tax losses and equity would have been affected as follows:
| Judgements of reasonably possible movements: | Post tax profit Other comprehensive higher/(lower) higher/(lower) |
|---|---|
| 30-Jun-14 30-Jun-13 30-Jun-14 30-Jun-13 |
|
| $ $ $ $ |
|
| + 3.0% (300 basis points) - 1.0%(100 basispoints) |
645 1,127 - - (215) (376) - - |
The other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. During the year credit risk has principally arisen from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with the maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
The carrying amount of financial assets included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to those assets. The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Group trades only with recognised, credit worthy third parties and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group does not have a significant exposure to bad debts.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group except for the following:
-
Financial asset (unsecured interest-free loan) with Mongo Tando Limited of $4,436,645 at 30 June 2014,
-
Cash held with National Australia Bank, and
-
Various receivables with mostly recognised third parties.
(i) Cash
The Group’s primary banker is National Australia Bank and Standard Bank of South Africa. The Board considers the use of these financial institutions, which has a rating of AA- and BBB from Standards and Poor’s, respectively, to be sufficient in the management of credit risk with regards to these funds.
Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits:
| Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits: | |
|---|---|
| Standard & Poors rating AA- BBB |
30-Jun-14 30-Jun-13 |
| $ $ 20,998 39,344 9,729 14,341 |
|
| 30,727 53,685 |
(ii) Trade Debtors
While the Group has policies in place to ensure that transactions with third parties have an appropriate credit history, the management of current and potential credit risk exposures is limited as far as is considered commercially appropriate. Up to the date of this report, the Board has placed no requirement for collateral on existing debtors.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions.
The Directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the Group on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The financial liabilities the Group had at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business, borrowings and derivative financial instruments related to the convertible note. Trade payables were non-interest bearing and were deducted within the normal 30-60 day terms of creditor payments. Under the Convertible Notes from Management, being David Reeves (former Non-Executive Director) and James Carter (former Chief Financial Officer and Joint Company Secretary) interest is payable at a rate of 12% per annum (15% from December 2013 for James Carter), payable monthly in arrears. Refer Note 18(b) for further detail.
The table below reflects the respective undiscounted cash flows for financial liabilities existing at 30 June 2014.

(d) Fair value estimation
- (i) Cash & cash equivalent
The carrying amount is fair value, due to the liquid nature of these assets.
(ii) Other receivables
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.
(iii) Convertible note liability
The convertible note liability is recorded either at fair value or amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
(iv) Convertible note derivative
The convertible note derivative is recorded at its fair value.
(v) Fair value measurement hierarchy
AASB 13 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-
(a) Level 1 – the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
-
(b) Level 2 – a valuation technique is used using inputs other than quoted priced within Level 1 that are observable for the financial instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); or
-
(c) Level 3 – a valuation technique is sued using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 and level 3 fair values
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based upon quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Group makes a number of assumptions based upon observable market data existing at each reporting period.
For current borrowings, the fair value approximates the carrying value amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant.
The convertible notes carried at fair value through profit and loss is calculated based on the number of shares to be issued at conversion price of $0.003 per share and the share price of the group at balance sheet date. They are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the significant inputs to the valuation is based on observable share price of the Company. Options issued on conversion of the notes are valued using the black scholes model which takes into account the share price, conversion price and volatility of the Company’s share price at the date of issue.
The Group does not have any level 3 assets or liabilities.
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group operates only in one reportable segment being predominately in the area of phosphate mineral exploration in the DRC and Angola, within Africa. The Board considers its business operations in phosphate mineral exploration to be its primary reporting function. Results are analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Board of Directors. Consequently revenue, profit, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are reflected in this financial report.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group has Australian carried forward tax losses of $5,360,872 (tax effected at 30%, $1,608,262) as at 30 June 2014 (2013: $3,903,589 (tax effected at 30%, $1,171,077)). In view of the Group's trading position, the Directors have not included this tax benefit in the Group's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. A tax benefit will only be recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
The tax benefits of the above deferred tax assets will only be obtained if:
-
(a) The Consolidated Entity derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefits to be utilised;
-
(b) The Consolidated Entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
-
(c) No changes in income tax legislation adversely affect the Consolidated Entity from utilising the benefits.
9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
(a) Basic loss per share
The calculation of basic loss per share at 30 June 2014 was based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of $2,680,271 (2013: $6,026,830) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2014 of 210,958,463 (2013: 126,604,880) calculated as follows:
| Net loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Group ($) Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basis per share (No) Continuing operations - Basic loss per share ($) |

(b) Diluted loss per share
Potential ordinary shares are not considered dilutive, thus diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

13. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE
As part of the acquisition of Tunan Mining Limited (“Tunan Mining”), Minbos (through Tunan Mining) acquired a 50% interest in Mongo Tando Limited (“MTL”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Isles. Under the joint venture arrangement, ownership of MTL is in equal shares however, the voting rights attached to those shares is not equal. Tunan Mining holds 49.99% of the voting rights and it is by virtue of holding less than 50% that MTL is accounted for as an investment in an associate. The functional currency of MTL is USD.
The Cabinda exploration permit (006/06/01/L.P./GOV.ANG.MGM/2010) is held by joint venture company, Mongo Tando Lda (“MTL”). MTL is owned (via local subsidiaries) 50% by Minbos and 50% by Petril Projects Ltd (“Joint Venture”). The Cabinda exploration permit validly expired 20 January 2013 and the Joint Venture has sought renewal of the permit with the Angola Government, which is processing the licence renewal under the new Angolan Mining Code. As at the date of this report the license has not been renewed. The Board has no reason to believe that the permit will not be granted nor that the permit approval process is not progressing. However, there is a risk that the renewal could take additional time or may not be renewed resulting in Minbos not being able to realise the investment at amounts stated in this report.

(i) On 1 August 2012 the Company announced the signing of a Joint Venture agreement with Allamanda Trading SPRL (“Allamanda”) for the exploration and development of the Kanzi project and surrounding exploration areas in the western Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”). In order to earn a 65% interest in the joint venture entity, Phosphalux SPRL, Minbos has provided initial funding of USD$600,000 for the incorporation of Phosphalux SPRL. Minbos has issued 2,600,000 shares and paid a fee of USD$162,500 to consultants who facilitated the agreement.
-
(ii) During February 2013, Minbos was presented with a side agreement by Allamanda that was purportedly entered into concurrently with the signing of the original JV agreement by Agrim, without the knowledge or consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, which seeks to apportion Minbos a 49% interest in the economic benefit of the Licences which form the Kanzi project, with a 51% economic interest held by Allamanda.
The Company has obtained preliminary legal advice in relation to the validity of this side agreement because it was executed without proper authority from the Board of Minbos. The advice has confirmed that the side agreement is open to legal challenge. The Directors are considering the Company’s options in relation to any damages, if any, owed to it in relation to this matter and believe it has accurately reflected the impact of this matter in the financial statements. Minbos is actively engaging with Allamanda to resolve this issue in a positive manner.
At 30 June 2014, Allamanda continued to hold the Kanzi Joint Venture licences, accordingly the Group has impaired the exploration expenditure incurred during the financial year until the licences are transferred to the Joint Venture entity.

The loans to Mongo Tando Limited (the “Associate”) are unsecured interest-free loans for the purpose of obtaining the required working capital for the establishment and ongoing operation of the Project in Angola. LR Group, the ultimate 50% holder in the Associate, along with Minbos’ ultimate 50% holding in the Associate, each contribute in equal portions loans receivable.
At 30 June 2014 the Company’s exploration permit held by Mongo Tando Limited had not been renewed, refer Note 13 Investment in Associate. The Board has no reason to believe that the permit will not be granted nor that the permit approval process is not progressing. However, there is a risk that the renewal could take additional time or may not be renewed resulting in Minbos not being able to realise the loan at amounts stated in this report.

(a) Convertible notes – Lind Facility
On 7 March 2013, the Company entered into a funding agreement with Lind Partners, LLC, the manager of the Australian Special Opportunity Fund, LP (together “Lind”). The facility was for an initial $300,000 convertible security and $75,000 as a prepayment for ordinary shares in Minbos. In accordance with the funding agreement, Lind would then invest a further $50,000 to $200,000 in monthly subscriptions (“Tranche Shares”) for a maximum facility of $4,975,000.
On execution and in accordance with the funding agreement, the Company issued the following securities to Lind:
-
2,227,722 shares at $0.0606 in satisfaction of Commencement Fee of $135,000,
-
1,000,000 Collateral Shares to be held as security for funds advanced in monthly tranches. These shares may be purchased in future to satisfy tranche funding repayments, and
-
1,150,000 options, exercise price $0.0937, expiry 8 March 2016. Refer Note 25 Share-based Payments, for the model inputs used under the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
On 14 March 2013, the Company received $375,000 from Lind, being $300,000 for the Convertible Security and $75,000 being Tranche 1 of funds advanced under the Tranche Shares.
-
In April 2013, the Company converted Tranche 1 funds into 2,586,207 shares at $0.035 per share.
-
In October 2013, the Company converted $50,000 of the $300,000 convertible security into 5,000,000 shares at $0.01 per share.
-
In December 2013, the Company converted an additional $50,000 of the remaining $250,000 convertible security into 12,500,000 shares at $0.004 per share.

On 16 May 2013, the Company received $50,000 from Lind, being Tranche 3 funds advanced under the Tranche Shares. In June 2013 the Company decided to repay Tranche 3 and agreed to terminate the funding agreement. In accordance with the funding agreement, the Company had the option to repay in cash, at 105% of tranche amounts, rather than issue tranche shares when the purchase price is less than the floor price, being $0.045 and may elect to terminate the funding agreement.
On 11 March 2014, the Company executed a settlement deed with Lind Partners LLC, the manager of the Australian Special Opportunity Fund LP, (together “Lind”) in relation to the existing convertible security under the Share Purchase and Convertible Security Agreement, announced 8 March 2013 (“Principal Agreement”).

Minbos Resources Limited – Financial Report For the year ended 30 June 2014
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
On 18 March 2014, the Principal Agreement was assigned to a group of sophisticated investors who agreed to accept repayment of the $200,000 convertible security, subject to future capital raising of at least $1.5 million. For which the sophisticated investors will receive consideration of $20,000 in lieu of interest and 10 million unlisted options exercisable at 1 cent, expiring 30 December 2016.
On 15 April 2014 the Company issued 10,000,000 shares at nil consideration, as consideration pursuant to the Settlement Deed dated 11 March 2014 with Lind. These shares have been valued using the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of issue, refer Note 21 (b).
Key terms of the Agreement
(i) Convertible securities
The Convertible Security with Lind may be converted into fully paid ordinary shares of the Company at any time at the discretion of Lind in the period from 5 July 2013 to 7 March 2015. Conversion shares are calculated based on conversion amount divided by conversion price being 91% of average 3 consecutive days VWAP during 20 days immediately prior to the relevant conversion notice. Conversion occurs by Lind providing a conversion notice of no less than one business day prior notice during that period or occurs automatically at 7 March 2015 at a 5 day VWAP before the last day of the term. As Lind can request conversion with not less than one business days’ notice, the convertible security is treated as a current liability.
There is no interest payable on the convertible securities and no cash payment obligation by the Company.
(ii) Advances/prepayment for shares
The number of tranche shares issued was determined by the tranche amount, divided by purchase price. Lind could elect the purchase price to be either 91% of the average 3 consecutive days VWAP during 20 days prior to issuance of shares or 130% of average daily VWAP during 20 days prior to issuance of shares being $0.0937. The election for 130% was only available for 1 tranche.
(iii) Collateral shares
At the end of the 24 month term or if the agreement is terminated, any outstanding collateral shares at expiry/termination are to be paid back in cash, based on 91% of average 3 day daily VWAP during 20 days prior to payment date or at 90% of fair market value at date of payment if the company shares were suspended or ceased to be listed on the ASX.
Collateral shares are not restricted, Lind can sell, assign or mortgage the shares to satisfy undischarged obligation.
(iv) Convertible security assignment
On 18 March 2014, the Convertible Security Agreement announced 8 March 2013 was assigned to a group of sophisticated investors who agreed to vary the terms and accept repayment of the $200,000 convertible security, subject to a future capital raising of at least $1.5 million. For which the sophisticated investors will receive consideration of $20,000 in lieu of interest and 10 million unlisted options exercisable at 1 cent, expiring 30 December 2016.

(d) Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to
-
safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
-
maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Given the stage of the Company’s development there are no formal targets set for return on capital. There were no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The net equity of the Company is equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raisings on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:
-
Net debt as per note 18 and 19
-
Divided by
Total equity (as shown in the Consolidated Statement of financial Position)
The gearing rations at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 were as follows:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
26. EMPLOYEE SHARE PLAN RESERVE
(a) Fair value of employee shares granted during the year
In the 2013 financial year the Board implemented an employee share plan to deliver remuneration in the form of equity in Minbos Resources Limited which, under the Minbos Board’s discretion, may be awarded from time to time. The employee share plan was approved at the Company’s general meeting on 14 March 2013 and the purpose is to:
-
Support employee retention;
-
Enhance employee involvement and focus; and
-
Increase wealth distribution among the employees.
Employee Share Plan – Scott Sullivan
On 14 March 2013, at the general meeting of the Company, shareholders approved the issue of 6,000,000 shares to Mr Sullivan under the employee share plan. The shares have been issued at $0.04 per share with a total value of $240,000 and were held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan.
Mr Sullivan’s remuneration was subject to the following vesting conditions;
-
(i) 2,000,000 shares shall vest when the Company’s share price equals the higher of:
-
at the 6 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Company’s share price calculated 3 days before and 3 days after the General Meeting where shareholders approved Minbos Resources Limited Employee Limited Share Plan; or
-
$0.14; and
-
The vesting period is assumed at 14 March 2013 as no vesting date is specified, (Tranche One) and no service conditions were attached to Tranche One;
-
(ii) 2,000,000 shares to vest one year from Commencement Date, being 1 November 2013 (Vesting Period 1) and when the Company’s share price equals or exceeds a vesting price of Tranche One plus 50% increase during the period from Commencement Date (Tranche Two) (if Tranche One Shares vest at $0.14, Tranche Two shares will vest at $0.21);
-
(iii) 2,000,000 shares to vest two years from Commencement Date, being 1 November 2014 (Vesting Period 2) and when the Company’s share price equals or exceeds a vesting price of Tranche One plus 100% increase during the period from Commencement Date (Tranche Three) (if Tranche One Shares vest at $0.14, Tranche Three shares will vest at $0.28); and
Due to these vesting conditions being dependent on certain market conditions being achieved, the Company adopted a Hybrid Option Pricing Model to value the shares in the 2013 financial year. The model inputs are shown in the table below.
In the event of termination, in all cases except termination by the Company with reason, or in the case of a change of control event, the shares will vest automatically, in accordance with Mr Sullivan’s executive services agreement. On 21 February 2014, Scott Sullivan resigned as Managing Director of the Company and agreed to forfeit his interest in 6,000,000 shares under the employee share plan, which were held in trust until the vesting conditions were satisfied. At 30 June 2014 the shares are held in trust to be allocated to future employees of the Company.

Employee Share Plan – James Carter
In the 2013 financial year the Board approved the issue of 2,000,000 shares to Mr Carter under the employee share plan. These shares have been issued at $0.04 per share with a total value of $80,000 and were held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan.
Mr Carter’s remuneration was subject to the following vesting conditions;
-
(iii) 1,000,000 shares shall vest when the Company’s share price equals the higher of:
-
at the 6 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Company’s share price calculated 3 days before and 3 days after the General Meeting where shareholders approved Minbos Resources Limited Employee Limited Share Plan; or
-
$0.14; and
-
The vesting period is assumed at 15 April 2013 as no vesting date is specified, (Tranche One) and no service conditions were attached to Tranche One;
-
(iv) 1,000,000 LTI Shares to vest one year from Commencement Date, being 1 November 2013 (Vesting Period 1) and when the Company’s share price at any time equals or exceeds a vesting price of Tranche One plus 50% increase during the period from Commencement Date (Tranche Two) (if Tranche One Shares vest at $0.14, Tranche Two shares will vest at $0.21).
Due to these vesting conditions being dependent on certain market conditions being achieved, the Company adopted a Hybrid Option Pricing Model to value the shares in the 2013 financial year. The model inputs are shown in the table below.
In the event of termination, in all cases except where there are grounds for termination by the Company, or in the case of a change of control event, the shares will vest automatically, in accordance with Mr Carter’s executive services agreement. During the 2014 financial year, Mr Carter resigned as Chief Financial Officer and Joint Company Secretary and his shares therefore vested immediately. At 30 June 2014 the shares were still held in trust by the trustee of the Minbos employee share plan.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Minbos Resources Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Minbos Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Minbos Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Minbos Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 2.
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2(d) in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the consolidated entity being able to renew its Cabinda exploration permit and the future successful raising of necessary funding. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 2(d), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Notes 13 and 15 in the financial report which describe an uncertainty relating to the recoverability of the consolidated entity’s investment in and loans to Associate. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Minbos Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
