CHAIRMAN’S REPORT & REVIEW

Dear Shareholder,

The past twelve months has been one of contrasts, where companies with proven reserves have benefited from the so-called “Chindia” phenomenon, while companies such as Mindax, where active and aggressive development of portfolios is still underway, have not fared well.

Mindax, like a lot of other explorers who are actively applying for new exploration licences, has experienced frustrating delays in both the granting of new licences, and in the subsequent approval of work programs. I understand that a number of industry bodies have taken these concerns forward but so far there is no appreciable sign of improvement in the level of service.

Despite these impediments, Mindax has responded quickly to opportunities, and worked through the regulatory issues with a number of notable successes:

We have more than doubled the area under application by the Yilgarn-Avon JV, prompted by our recognition that the paleochannels in the JV area contained a well recognised mechanism for uranium deposition.
Agreements with traditional owners and the State Government at Bulga Downs perfected the grant of Mining Leases over the area allowing the progress of exploration of the gold potential on the Cabaret Trend with a strong likelihood of increasing our small high grade gold resource at Paradise Bore.
A program was also initiated at Bulga Downs to assess the potential for Direct Shipping iron ores with encouraging initial results.
The Yilgarn-Avon JV acquired the Mortlock project which has previously generated significant widths of copper-gold mineralisation and has good prospectivity for uranium.

While these successes have added real value to the portfolio, the delays to our drilling program have had a negative impact on our share price – one which only exploration success will reverse.

Our projects are highly prospective, were acquired cheaply and are in under explored areas, and carefully planned and budgeted drilling programs will be our focus in the coming year. Persistence is a key ingredient in exploration success.

We will continue to review opportunities and will work hard to address the issues faced in the past year.

EXPLORATION REVIEW

Precis

Mindax Limited was listed on the ASX at the end of 2004.

The Company is a committed minerals explorer with a significant portfolio of gold, copper, iron and uranium projects in Western Australia’s Yilgarn Craton.

Mindax’s objective is to move to a production base by carefully focused innovative exploration in its key commodities. Successful exploration will be the key driver of value for Mindax shareholders. It is Mindax’s belief that to ensure success, such efforts need to be underpinned by the commitment to raise sufficient funding to support this exploration.

Mindax’s main projects are the Bulga Downs gold project near Sandstone centred on the Paradise Bore gold resource and the adjacent iron potential of the Richardson Ranges and the Yilgarn-Avon Joint Venture uranium project in the palaeochannels of the South West of WA.

Over the last twelve months the Company has sought to consolidate its position in these two areas. At Bulga Downs:

The land position at Paradise Bore has been strengthened to granted Mining Leases. This has drawn a much firmer relationship with the traditional custodians of the area and provides for better management of the various conservation issues that surround the project.
A dynamic analysis of possible commercial scenarios has been put in place to guide the exploration of this 36,000 oz inferred resource position. This has very firmly indicated the critical steps required to achieve the next project milestone are the infill of the resource and the completion of further exploration at the adjacent Toucan and Macaw prospects where there is the best potential to supplement the Paradise Bore resource. The study indicates potential to triple the inventory of open pit recoverable gold within the project.
Importantly, there is the recognition that significant iron mineralisation co-exists with and beyond the gold. The limited mapping, rock chip sampling and incidental drill intercept data suggests hematite and magnetite mineralisation with grades in the 35 to 55% Fe range with considerable tonnage potential over 17km of iron formation.

The 50% Yilgarn-Avon joint venture (“YAJV”) is a joint venture between Mindax ( the manager) and partner Quasar Resources PL, an affiliate of Heathgate Resources PL. Heathgate are the owner/operator of the Beverley uranium mine in South Australia and a world leader in the environmentally desirable In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium extraction technology.

The uranium portfolio in the South West has been significantly expanded, driven by the exploration model of roll front type uranium developing from uranium enriched waters within the palaeodrainages of the region. The YAJV has a commanding land position with 6700 sq km in this newly emerging uranium province and with the advantage of a fundamental research impetus through the CRC LEME uranium-in-water project.
Recently, the YAJV has commenced earning an 80% interest in the Mortlock gold-copper terrane from Sipa Resources. There are indications of hard rock uranium prospectivity from adjacent reported mineralisation, airborne radiometrics and water sampling in this area.
Further, the gold-copper dimension of this ground that has already produced significant widths of mineralisation, offers immediate drill targets for significant large tonnage positions analogous to the nearby Boddington mineralisation.

Mindax believes that it has a demonstrable track record for innovative exploration targeting: the Sandstone project has generated new gold mineralisation and the success of our neighbours further underlines the validity of our concepts. Our uranium project signals the emergence of a new uranium province long overlooked in WA. We are confident that this project will define tangible uranium mineralisation and that a significant commercial success is achievable.

EXPLORATION REVIEW

The Company

Mindax Limited was listed on the ASX at the end of 2004.

The Company is a committed minerals explorer with a significant portfolio of gold and uranium projects in Western Australia’s Yilgarn Craton.

Overview

Mindax’s main projects are the gold project centred on the Paradise Bore gold resource of 36,000oz at Bulga Downs near Sandstone and the uranium project operated by the Yilgarn-Avon Joint Venture in the South West of WA.

Over the last twelve months the Company has sought to consolidate its position in these two areas:

The land position at Paradise Bore has been strengthened by its promotion to Mining Leases. This has consolidated relationships with the traditional custodians of the area and with the various conservation issues that exist in the area.
A dynamic analysis of possible commercial scenarios has been put in place to guide the exploration. This has very firmly indicated the next steps required to advance the project as being the infill of the present resource position where there is potential to triple the inventory of open pit recoverable gold and the execution of further exploration at the adjacent Toucan and Macaw where there is the best potential to supplement the Paradise Bore resource.
Additionally, the potential for significant resources of iron ore co-exist with and beyond the gold. The limited available data from mapping, rock chip sampling and incidental drill intercepts in the gold exploration program suggests hematite and magnetite mineralisation with grades in the 35 to 55% Fe range with considerable tonnage potential.
The uranium portfolio in the South West has been significantly expanded driven by the exploration model of roll front type uranium developing from uranium enriched waters within the palaeodrainages of the region. The Joint Venture have a commanding land position in this area and the advantage of a fundamental research impetus through the CRC LEME uranium-in-water project.

Further, the Joint Venture has acquired an interest in an established gold-copper terrane where there are indications of hard rock uranium prospectivity in previous and adjacent work.
The gold-copper dimension of this ground presents immediate drill targets for significant large tonnage positions akin to Boddington.

BULGA DOWNS – PARADISE BORE GOLD/IRON PROJECT

This Project is 100% owned by Mindax Limited. At Paradise Bore planning is in place for a focussed drilling campaign:

Heritage work is complete and a management plan is in place
Floristic studies have been updated and a management plan is in place
Programs of Work have been approved by the Department
A planned 2000m RC drilling program will test for additional mineralisation with a 100,000oz target
At Toucan drilling will test around and beneath known mineralisation to 100m below surface. Previous drilling has indicated widths to 6m with grades in the range of 3 to 21g/t. The target is a shoot with a surface length of 100m plunging 40 degrees to the north.
At Macaw it is planned to test a more open strike length where previous drilling has returned intercepts ranging from 12m @ 2.4g/t Au to 1m @ 9.44g/t Au.
At Paradise Bore, an initial infill program of 1,600m is designed to upgrade and expand the resource of 36,000oz in the oxide in the upper part of the lode system.

The iron ore potential of the area will be advanced by:

Endorsement of iron rights on the tenements
Surface sampling of the iron formation to establish grades and the distribution of hematite versus magnetite material.

YILGARN-AVON URANIUM JOINT VENTURE

This project is a 50% joint venture between Mindax Energy PL (a fully owned subsidiary of Mindax Limited) and partner Quasar Resources PL, an affiliate of Heathgate Resources PL, the owner/operator of the Beverley uranium mine in South Australia. Heathgate are a world leader in the environmentally desirable In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium extraction technology. Mindax are manager of the YAJV.

The Yilgarn-Avon project is maturing rapidly as tenure is granted. The very high uranium-in-water values in the headwaters of the ancient Yilgarn river system are derived from extensive weathering of the felsic gneisses and intrusives in the area, some of which are extremely enriched in primary uranium. These waters are moving down the palaeochannel system into contact with the lignite coals of the Pliocene Yenyening Formation in the lower reaches of the system. The uriniferous waters are strongly oxidising and contact with these reduced coal bearing sediments should result in uranium precipitation. The locations of the channels are known to a fair degree of accuracy. The mineralisation is expected to occur at depth beneath younger impermeable clays and the system is highly saline. This precludes geophysical applications, for example and it is intended to go directly to drilling. Systematic drill traversing of the drainages is programmed to locate this mineralisation:

Local landholders and local government authorities have advised support
Programs of Work have been put in place
Other local authorities have been advised
Location of, water sampling and radiometric logging of existing bores is ongoing
An estimated 64,000m of aircore drilling is anticipated
POWs are in train for an initial 9,000m program.

Figure 5 Yilgarn-Avon and Mortlock Projects

The Ularring Project where the YAJV is earning a 70% interest from Sipa Exploration (Mortlock JV or MJV) occupies the southwards trace of the Wongan Hills greenstone belt. Wongan Hills has produced gold and copper historically. There is a secondary uranium occurrence at Kalguddering immediately north of the JV tenure. Sipa discovered significant gold-copper mineralisation at Centre Forest – Southern Brook in an area now under a YAJV 100% tenement application. Work by Placer (until terminated by the Barrick merger) identified two Au-Cu targets in the MJV area. Evaluation of this work is ongoing. There are uranium-in-water anomalies in the north and south of the MJV and various radiometric responses to be checked. Drilling and further airborne geophysics are anticipated:

Testing and re-analysis of sample residues
Drill testing of the Placer targets
Airborne EM.

EXPLORATION REVIEW

OTHER PROJECTS

Mindax hold a number of other projects of lesser maturity or strategically related to the two above projects.

The Meekatharra North gold project lies immediately along strike from the famous Paddys Flat field where 2.5Moz of gold has been produced from substantial high grade lodes. The structures that control the Paddys Flat mines can be traced throughout the Meekatharra North project area under shallow but extensive cover. The program for this area is the systematic testing of structural positions integrating where possible data generated by previous explorers. Intersections of minor mineralisation and associated Paddys Flat style alteration provides encouragement for further exploration.

The Sandstone projects extend along the Edale and Illara structures to the northwest of Bulga Downs. Both structures are weakly mineralised and the Lord’s gold mines of Troy Resources lies within the influence of the Edale. The program for these areas has already allowed the reduction of tenure and continues to identify structures that show gold geochemical anomalism for deeper testing.

The Panhandle gold-uranium project covers an area of copper-gold anomalism around a Wallaby like intrusive on the Edale fault south of Bulga Downs. Recent gravity geophysics has defined a structural architecture that explains the relationships between various geochemical targets and clarifies drill targeting. A POW is being assessed and drilling is close. Adjacent to this area, uranium in soils to 60ppb has been identified on the edge of Lake Barlee.

The Noondie uranium project is targeting calcrete type uranium mineralisation on and adjacent to the Lake Noondie lake system. Strong radiometric anomalies are defined and drilling is close to commencing on one of these, pending permitting.

The Carnegie uranium project covers nearly 90km of calcretised drainages north of Lake Carnegie. Reconnaissance regolith sampling by GSWA has identified significantly anomalous samples associated with these drainages and a program of reconnaissance sampling and geophysics will be initiated when title is granted.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and managed. It influences how the objectives of the Company are set and achieved, how risk is monitored and assessed, and how performance is optimised. Good corporate governance structures encourage companies to create value (through entrepreneurism, innovation, development and exploration) and provide accountability and control systems commensurate with risks involved.

Good corporate governance will evolve with the changing circumstances of a company and must be tailored to meet these circumstances. Mindax Limited is a junior exploration company.

The Company’s Board and management are committed to a high standard of corporate governance practices, ensuring that the Company complies with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rules, Company Constitution and other applicable laws and regulations.

However, at this stage of the Company’s corporate development, implementation of the ASX Corporate Governance Council ten core principles, whilst wholeheartedly supported, is not practical in every instance given the modest size and simplicity of the business. The core principles are noted as follows:

The core principles are establishment of the role of the Board, its composition (with a balance of skills, experience and independence appropriate to the nature and extent of operations), and the need for integrity (among those who influence strategy and financial performance, together with responsible and ethical decision-making). Presenting the Company’s financial and non-financial position requires processes that safeguard, both internally and externally, the integrity of Company reporting and its provision in a timely and balanced manner. The rights of shareholders must be recognised and upheld. Risk must be managed through effective oversight and internal control. Board and management effectiveness must be encouraged. Remuneration must attract and retain talented and motivated directors and employees with a clear relationship to corporate and individual performance. And finally, the legitimate interest of all stakeholders must be recognised.

The details of the current and evolving governance practices are identified in the following pages.

Board of Directors

Role of the Board

The Board has the responsibility of protecting the rights and interest of shareholders and enhancement of long-term shareholder value. To fulfill this role, the Board is responsible for:

the corporate governance of the Company;
the overall strategic direction and leadership of the Company;
approving and monitoring management implementation of objectives and strategies; and
reviewing the performance against stated objectives by receiving regular management reports on the business situation, opportunities and risks.

Structure of the Board

The Company has a three member Board comprising one executive director and two non-executive directors, including the Chairman. The roles of Chairman and Managing Director are not combined. All directors reside in Perth, Western Australia. Mr Bromley is not considered independent by virtue of his executive role in the Company, neither is Mr Smith nor Mr George by virtue of financial remuneration received on a consulting basis during the year.

The full Board currently hold a number of scheduled meetings each year, plus strategy meetings and any extraordinary meetings at such other times as may be necessary to address significant matters as they arise.

Standing Board meeting agenda items include the Managing Director’s report, financial reports, strategic matters, governance and compliance.

Board members should possess complementary business disciplines and experience aligned with the Company objectives. The experience and qualifications of directors are noted in the Directors’ Report.

Where any director has a personal interest in a matter, the director is not permitted to be present during discussions or to vote on the matter. The enforcement of this requirement ensures that the interest of shareholders, as a whole, are pursued and not jeopardised by a lack of a majority of independent directors.

Having regard to the structure of the Board and of senior management, it is considered appropriate by the Board to effectively

8 Mindax Limited

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

utilise Messrs Smith and George’s skills as consultants to provide crucial peer review of the corporate, legal and commercial aspects of the Company’s operations.

Mr George acts as Chairman of the Company and while not satisfying the ‘independence test’ set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Council Practice Recommendations, it is considered Mr George’s appointment is in the best interests of the Company and is without conflict given its size.

The Board formed an Audit committee (commenced December 2004) and a Remuneration committee (commenced December 2004) comprising the non-executive directors, with Mr Smith Chairman of both.

The Company will give consideration at an appropriate juncture in the Company’s development, for the creation of a Nomination committee. The current size of the full Board permits it to act as the nomination committee and to regularly review membership. The Board will give consideration to appointment of specialist and independent directors when the activities and scale of operation of the Company warrant such appointments.

The Board intends to introduce a formal process of self assessment of its collective performance, the performance of individual directors and of Board committees. Due to the scheduling of Board meetings, such formal process was not finalized and no formal assessment was undertaken during the year ended 30 June 2007.

Audit Processes and Policies

The Board is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and appropriate ethical standards for the management of the Company. A charter (terms of reference) is being formulated and evolving.

The responsibilities include:

reviewing and approving statutory financial reports and all other financial information distributed externally;
monitoring the effective operation of the risk management and compliance framework;
reviewing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control environment including compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
the nomination of the external auditors and the review of the adequacy of the existing external audit arrangements; and
considering whether non-audit services provided by the external auditor are consistent with maintaining the external auditor’s independence.

The minutes of all committee meetings are circulated to all directors.

The external auditor, merged with another accounting firm during the financial year and changed its name to BDO Kendalls Audit & Assurance (WA) Pty Ltd (“BDO Kendalls”). BDO Kendalls has engagement terms refreshed annually and has indicated its independence to the Board. BDO Kendalls were appointed as auditors in December 2003.

Safeguard Integrity in Financial Reporting

The Audit committee is responsible for reviewing and reporting to the Board on the Company’s financial reports and external audit processes.

The Managing Director and Company Secretary provide a certification to the Board on the integrity of the Company’s external financial reports. This reporting structure was adopted for the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

The Managing Director and Company Secretary are not specifically required to provide additional certification that the financial statements are founded on sound risk management systems and that compliance and control systems are operating efficiently and effectively.

The Board considers that risk management and internal compliance and control systems are sufficiently robust for the Board to place reliance on the integrity of the financial statements without the need for an additional certification by management.

Respect the Rights of Shareholders and Stakeholders

The Board adopts communications strategies and practices to promote communication with shareholders, in language capable of interpretation, and to encourage effective participation at General Meetings. The external auditor will attend the meeting to respond to specific questions from shareholders relating to the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.

Annual Report 9

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are informed of all major developments affecting the Company’s state of affairs. Information is communicated to shareholders as follows:

reports distributed to all shareholders; and
notices of all meetings to shareholders.

The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the General Meetings to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Company’s strategy and goals. Important issues are presented to shareholders as single resolutions.

Shareholders are requested to vote on the appointment of directors, the granting of options and shares to directors and changes to the Constitution. Copies of the Constitution are available to any shareholder upon request.

Material information is lodged immediately with the ASX and on acknowledgement, disseminated by posting to the website.

Timely and Balanced Disclosures

The Board supports the Australasian Investor Relations Association “Best Practice Guidelines for Communication between Listed Entities and the Investment Community”. The Board endorses a culture in favour of continuous disclosure and recognises the benefits of consistency to be achieved through a dedicated authorised spokesperson.

Material information is lodged immediately with the ASX and on acknowledgement disseminated by posting to the website. A strict protocol is practiced for all investors/ analyst/ media meetings, group briefings and conference calls.

Dealings in Company Shares

The Board formally instituted a Company requirement in December 2004 that limits the purchase or disposal of shares by directors, officers and employees to the period of 2 to 16 days after release of quarterly reports.

Directors, officers and employees with any non-public sensitive information are prohibited from purchasing or disposing of Company shares, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Directors must also advise the Company of any transactions conducted by them in the shares of the Company, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and ASX Listing Rules.

Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly

The Remuneration committee advises the Board on remuneration and incentive policies and practices generally and makes specific recommendations in relation to compensation arrangements for executive and non-executive directors and in respect of all equity based remuneration plans.

The remuneration policy states that executive directors may participate in share option schemes with the prior approval of shareholders. Other executives may also participate in employee share option schemes, with any option issues normally being made in accordance with thresholds set in plans approved by shareholders. The Board however, considers it appropriate to retain the flexibility to issue options to executives outside of approved employee option plans in appropriate circumstances.

Access to Professional Advice

Issues of substance are considered by the Board with external advice from its professional advisers as required. The Board’s individual members can seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense in carrying out their duties.

Summary

Mindax Limited has adopted or is in the process of adopting the following policies and charters: Board Charter, Code of Conduct, Security Trading Policy, Audit Committee Charter, Continuous Disclosure Policy, Shareholder Communication Policy and Remuneration Committee Charter.

The Company is non-compliant with respect to the Directors being considered independent for reasons stated. Similarly the Company does not have a Nomination Committee. Other corporate practices continue to evolve.

12 Mindax Limited

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Exploration

The consolidated entity continued its exploration efforts on its tenement prospects during the financial year ended 30 June 2007. Some highlights include:

Bulga Downs

The land position at Paradise Bore has been strengthened to granted Mining Leases. This has drawn a much firmer relationship with the traditional custodians of the area and provides for better management of the various conservation issues that surround the project.
A dynamic analysis of possible commercial scenarios has been put in place to guide the exploration of this 36,000 oz inferred resource position. This has very firmly indicated that the critical steps required to achieve the next project milestone are the infill of the resource and the completion of further exploration at the adjacent Toucan and Macaw prospects where there is the best potential to supplement the Paradise Bore resource. The study indicates potential to triple the inventory of open pit recoverable gold within the project.
Importantly, there is the recognition that significant iron mineralisation co-exists with and beyond the gold. The limited mapping, rock chip sampling and incidental drill intercept data suggests hematite and magnetite mineralisation with grades in the 35 to 55% Fe range with considerable tonnage potential over 17km of iron formation.

Panhandle (Uranium, Gold, Copper)

The project covers an area of copper-gold anomalism around a Wallaby like intrusive on the Edale fault south of Bulga Downs. Recent gravity geophysics has defined a structural architecture that explains the relationships between various geochemical targets and clarifies drill targeting.
Adjacent to this area, uranium in soils to 60ppb has been identified on the edge of Lake Barlee.

Yilgarn Avon Joint Venture (“YAJV”) (Uranium, Gold, Copper)

The uranium portfolio in the South West has been significantly expanded, driven by the exploration model of roll front type uranium developing from uranium enriched waters within the palaeodrainages of the region. The YAJV has a commanding land position with 6700 sq km in this newly emerging uranium province (where uranium-in-water values have exceeded 1,000 ppb U) and the advantage of a fundamental research impetus through the CRC LEME uranium-in-water project.
Recently, the YAJV has commenced earning an 80% interest in the Mortlock gold-copper terrane from Sipa Resources. There are indications of hard rock uranium prospectivity from adjacent reported mineralisation, airborne radiometrics and water sampling in this area.
Further, the gold-copper dimension of this ground that has already produced significant widths of mineralisation offers immediate drill targets for significant large tonnage positions analogous to the nearby Boddington mineralisation.

Changes in state of affairs

During the financial year there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Subsequent events

There has not been any matter or circumstance, other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto, that has arisen since the end of the financial year, that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

Future developments

Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity. Accordingly, this information has not been disclosed in this report.

Environmental Regulations

The consolidated entity is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its mineral exploration activities. These obligations are regulated under relevant government authorities within Australia. The consolidated entity is a party to exploration and development licences which generally specify the applicable environmental regulations.

During the financial period, the Company has not breached any relevant Commonwealth, State or Territory environmental regulations.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (audited)

Executive Remuneration

Overall remuneration policies are determined by the Board and are adapted to reflect competitive market and business conditions where it is in the interests of the Company and shareholders to do so. Within this framework, the remuneration committee considers remuneration policies and practices generally, and determines specific remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive directors and senior management. Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the committee having regard to performance, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice.

The Company’s remuneration policy for executive directors, officers and senior management is designed to promote superior performance and long term commitment. Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended to attract and retain executives capable of managing the Company’s operations. The main principles of the policy are:

reward reflects the competitive market in which the Company operates:
individual reward should be linked to performance criteria; and
executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.

The total remuneration of executive directors consists of the following:

a) Primary benefits – salary/fees, bonuses and non monetary benefits including the provision of motor vehicles, health benefits;
b) Post employment benefits – including superannuation;
c) Equity – share options granted under the employee and consultant share option scheme as disclosed in note 5 to the financial statements; and
d) Other benefits, including performance bonus plans.

Annual Report 15

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

With regard to employee share options schemes, participation of executive directors must be specifically approved by shareholders.

The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration is established for each executive director by the remuneration committee. Performance incentives may be offered to executive directors and senior management of the Company through the operation of performance bonus schemes. Performance and completion bonuses are payable upon achievement of agreed milestones and targets.

Non-executive directors remuneration

Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors, currently set at $150,000. The remuneration committee recommends the actual payments to directors and the Board is responsible for ratifying any recommendations. Non-executive directors are entitled to statutory superannuation benefits and may also be remunerated for additional specialised services performed at the request and approval of the Board.

Non-executive directors may be entitled to participate in equity based remuneration schemes. Shareholders must approve the framework for any equity based compensation schemes and if a recommendation is made for a director to participate in an equity scheme, that participation must be specifically approved by the shareholders.

Service agreements (audited)

The company has entered into service contracts with Mr G J Bromley and Mr A Francesca.

By Service Agreement dated 5 October 2004, the Company agreed to appoint Gregory John Bromley as its Managing Director effective for an initial two year period commencing on 3 December 2004. The remuneration committee reviewed Mr Bromley’s salary package and an extension to his service contract on 7 August 2006. Following such review it was resolved that Mr Bromley is to be paid $160,000 in annual salary plus superannuation and will be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in carrying out the services of a managing director (as further specified in the agreement). Mr Bromley is also provided a fully serviced and maintained vehicle with agreement that private use be an infrequent and incidental component of total usage. An extension of the term of his original service contract until 31 December 2008 was also granted. Future bonuses are to be considered subject to meeting performance hurdles.

The agreement may be terminated by the Company, without notice where Mr Bromley is guilty of grave misconduct; becomes bankrupt or of unsound mind; is convicted of any criminal offence; becomes permanently incapacitated or dies.

Mr Bromley may also terminate the agreement with 6 months notice or without notice in certain circumstances including the Company entering into liquidation, the Company breaching the Agreement or where Mr Bromley is demoted. In either case the Company must pay Mr Bromley an agreed termination payment.

By Consultancy Agreement effective 1 March 2006, the Company agreed to engage FJH Solutions (“the consultant”) of which Mr Angelo Francesca is a director, to support the Company secretarial function. The engagement was for an initial term of twelve months and may be extended by written notice not less than four weeks from the date the initial term is due to expire. On 9 August 2007, it was formally resolved that the engagement be extended until 30 June 2008.

The consultant is to be paid $4,600 per month plus GST as applicable and all costs necessarily incurred.

The agreement may be terminated by the Company, without notice where Mr Francesca is guilty of grave misconduct; becomes bankrupt or of unsound mind; is convicted of any criminal offence; becomes permanently incapacitated or dies. If the Company terminates the agreement and none of the prementioned circumstances apply, the Company must pay an agreed termination payment.

Mr Francesca may also terminate the agreement with 4 weeks notice.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Share-based compensation

The Board has adopted the Mindax Limited Employee and Consultant Share Option Scheme. The primary purpose of the Plan is to increase the motivation of employees, promote the retention of employees, align employee interest with those of the Company and its shareholders and to reward employees who contribute to the growth of the Company. At a general meeting held on 21 January 2004, shareholders authorised the issue of options under the Plan. To date, 700,000 options with an exercise price of 25 cents and expiry date of 21 December 2008 have been issued under the Plan as follows:

500,000 to the Company’s Managing Director, Mr G.J. Bromley approved at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 11 November 2005;
200,000 to arms length employees.

The terms and conditions of each grant of options affecting remuneration in the previous, this or future reporting periods are as follows:

	Grant	date	Date vested and exercisable	Expiry date	Exercise price	Value per option at grant date
21	December	2005	21 December 2005	21 December 2008	$0.25	$0.043

Fair values at grant date are independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

The model inputs include:

exercise price of 25 cents and time to expiry of 3 years from the date of issue;
share price of 12 cents per share;
volatility factor for the Company’s share price of 77% derived by reference to the Bloomberg Historical Price Volatility and Standard Option Valuation Model;
discount rate of 5.34% by reference to the current 3 year Government Bond Rate.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Urgent Issues Group Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘A-IFRS’). Compliance with the A-IFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of the consolidated entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’). The parent entity financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS except for the disclosure requirements in IAS 32 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation’ as the Australian equivalent Accounting Standard, AASB 132 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation’ does not require such disclosures to be presented by the parent entity where its separate financial statements are presented together with the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 26th September 2007.

Basis of preparation

The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

In the application of A-IFRS management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgments made by management in the application of A-IFRS that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

The consolidated entity changed its accounting policies on 1 January 2005 to comply with A-IFRS. The transition to A-IFRS is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 1 ‘First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards’, with 1 January 2004 as the date of transition.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2007, and the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2006.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies (cont’d)

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:

a) Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded initially at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortised cost with any difference between the initial recognised amount and the redemption value being recognised in profit and loss over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in money market instruments.

c) Employee benefits

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Defned contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

d) Financial assets

Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements and the cost method in the company financial statements.

Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, ‘held-to-maturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ financial assets, and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

Held-to-maturity investments

Bills of exchange and debentures are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies (cont’d)

Loans and receivables

Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables are recorded at amortised cost less impairment.

e) Financial instruments issued by the company

Debt and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

Compound instruments

The component parts of compound instruments are classified separately as liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible debt. The equity component initially brought to account is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the amount of the compound instrument as a whole.

Transaction costs on the issue of equity instruments

Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the equity instruments to which the costs relate. Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred directly in connection with the issue of those equity instruments and which would not have been incurred had those instruments not been issued.

Interest and dividends

Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the balance sheet classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

f) Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

All foreign currency transactions during the financial year are brought to account using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items at reporting date are translated at the exchange rate existing at reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except that:

i) exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings;
ii) exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and
iii) exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

g) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

h) Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the consolidated entity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine

Annual Report 31

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies (cont’d)

whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not subsequently reversed.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

i) Income tax

Current tax

Current tax is calculated by reference to the amount of income taxes payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or tax loss for the period. It is calculated using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is accounted for using the comprehensive balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base of those items.

In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable amounts will be available against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses and tax offsets can be utilised. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences giving rise to them arise from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities (other than as a result of a business combination) which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability is not recognised in relation to taxable temporary differences arising from goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures except where the consolidated entity is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with these investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period(s) when the asset and liability giving rise to them are realised or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the consolidated entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

32 Mindax Limited

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies (cont’d)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the company/consolidated entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax is recognised as an expense or income in the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where it arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, in which case it is taken into account in the determination of goodwill or excess.

Tax Consolidation

The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Mindax Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach.

j) Joint ventures

Jointly controlled assets and operations

Interests in jointly controlled assets and operations are reported in the financial statements by including the consolidated entity’s share of assets employed in the joint ventures, the share of liabilities incurred in relation to the joint ventures and the share of any expenses incurred in relation to the joint ventures in their respective classification categories.

Jointly controlled entities

Interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements and the cost method in the company financial statements.

k) Leased assets

Consolidated entity as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the consolidated entity’s general policy on borrowing costs.

Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

l) Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure

Exploration, evaluation and development costs are accumulated in respect of each separate area of interest.

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current and they are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or, where exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Development costs related to an area of interest are carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped either through sale or successful exploitation of the area of interest.

When an area of interest is abandoned or the directors decide that it is not commercial, any accumulated costs in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made.

Annual Report 33

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies (cont’d)

m) Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

n) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining the financial statements of all the entities that comprise the consolidated entity, being the company (the parent entity) and its subsidiaries as defined in Accounting Standard AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’. A list of subsidiaries appears in note 26 to the financial statements. Consistent accounting policies are employed in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

On acquisition, the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If, after reassessment, the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the cost of acquisition, the deficiency is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition.

The interest of minority shareholders is stated at the minority’s proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognised.

The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the company obtains control and until such time as the company ceases to control such entity.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intercompany balances and transactions, and unrealised profits arising within the consolidated entity are eliminated in full.

Mindax Limited acquired a 100% interest in Mindax Energy Pty Ltd on 23 January 2006, and as such consolidated accounts have been prepared for the period.

o) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment and equipment under finance lease are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a diminishing value basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation:

Plant and equipment 2.5 – 20 years

p) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present obligation, the future sacrifice of economic benefits is probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

q) Revenue recognition

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods.

34 Mindax Limited

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies (cont’d)

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.

Dividend and interest revenue

Dividend revenue is recognised on a receivable basis. Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

r) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments granted after 7 November 2002 that were unvested as of 1 January 2005, are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured using the Black & Scholes Option Pricing Model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the consolidated entity’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is recognised at the current fair value determined at each reporting date.

s) Earnings per share

i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for 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.

t) 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.

u) Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the entity that is engaged either in providing products (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

v) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-forsale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the

Annual Report 35

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

1. Summary of accounting policies (cont’d)

remaining financials instruments. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

w) Significant accounting estimates & judgements

In preparing this Financial Report the Group has been required to make certain estimates and assumptions concerning future occurrences. There is an inherent risk that the resulting accounting estimates will not equate exactly with actual events and results.

i) Significant accounting judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Capitalisation of exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group has capitalised significant exploration and evaluation expenditure on the basis either that this is expected to be recouped through future successful development (or alternatively sale) of the Areas of Interest concerned or on the basis that it is not yet possible to assess whether it will be recouped.

ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are:

Impairment of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure

The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.

Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.

As at 30 June 2007, the carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure is $3,565,994.

x) New accounting standards and interpretations

The following new/amended accounting standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not mandatory for financial years ended 30 June 2007. They have not been adopted in preparing the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2007 and are expected to impact the entity in the period of initial application. In all cases the entity intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated in the table below.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2007

31. Financial instruments (cont’d)

b) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The consolidated entity exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded are spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the audit committee annually. The consolidated entity measures credit risk on a fair value basis.

The consolidated entity does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.

c) Liquidity risk management

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
