Chairman’s report and review

==> picture [72 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Shareholder,

Mindax has achieved a great deal in the twelve months to 30 June 2011 – a period that was characterised by uncertainty, instability and volatility in the world’s equity and financial markets.

The brief period of market optimism in late 2010 ended around the time of the calamitous events in Japan on March 9 of this year, closely followed by concerns over continuing high debt levels in the US and Europe. Even more concerning to the markets was the apparent unwillingness of political parties in both regions to deal with the issues in a decisive manner.

In spite of continuing strong demand for metals, especially iron ore, global uncertainty has seen significant pressure on Australian share prices generally and on resource stocks in particular. The share prices of exploration companies including Mindax have declined accordingly.

iRon oRe

Against this backdrop, the Company continued preparing for the development phase of its key iron project at Mt Forrest. Our four-pronged approach has aimed at:

  • ° significantly advancing the size, quality and knowledge of our resource;

  • ° applying a conservative economic analysis of our project to give potential financiers and partners comfort;

  • ° ensuring Mindax will be able to access to infrastructure required to develop the project;

  • ° a proactive approach to heritage, native title, environment, social, employment and OS&H issues.

Our current JORC resource of magnetite to 1.425 Billion tonnes at 31.5% (82.9 million tonnes @ 32.4% JORC indicated and 1,342.2 million tonnes @ 31.5% JORC Inferred) is currently the largest JORC magnetite resource in the Yilgarn Region.

More importantly our initial modest DSO resource of 1.2 million tonnes has increased around 15 times to a resource of 19Mt @ 42.3% (6.3 Mt JORC Indicated @ 44.7% and 12.7 Mt Inferred @ 41.1% - uncut).

Given these positive results, the Company plans to fast track its DSO project towards production in late 2013 and the following is currently underway:

  • ° DSO focused pre-feasibility study is in progress incorporating these elements:

  • ° metallurgical testing of core in progress;

  • ° resource definition drilling targeting in progress;

  • ° targeting Hematite-goethite within surface footprint of high grade primary magnetite;

  • ° newly accessible hematite and high grade regolith magnetite targets.

A DSO operation would provide cash flow from which Mindax could grow the full potential of the iron inventory at Mt Forrest (with a potential production date of 2015). We also continue to be encouraged by anticipated high demand and prices for iron ore well beyond 2015 – of course interspersed by natural and policy-induced corrections.

Your Company has assumed a leading role in promoting recognition of the Yilgarn as an iron ore region of great potential. During the year we promoted the idea of a Yilgarn Iron Producers’ Association (yipA), which was enthusiastically embraced by most explorers and producers in the region. YIPA has a role in ensuring areas of common interest to its members are effectively promoted to government and other stakeholders, especially in the areas of infrastructure provision, as well as environmental and heritage issues that affect all members. YIPA is represented on the Port of Esperance users group by our Managing Director Greg Bromley, as the inaugural Chair of YIPA, and promotes the iron ore export potential of the Port of Esperance.

In relation to infrastructure – the increased focus on the Yilgarn has given us great confidence that as exports from the region increase, the required infrastructure improvements will be put in place. For instance the Minister for Transport has recently announced improvements to the Port of Esperance, and third party proposals for energy and transport infrastructure have been received from local and international groups.

Mindax has also secured the licences for a service corridor between Mt Forrest and Menzies, and has significant water leases in the area.

uRAniuM

Mindax controls the majority of what we have identified as a new uranium province in Western Australia – almost 300km of paleochannel stretching from east of Mukinbudin to Quairading.

Our efforts over the year resulted in identifying two prospects that have the potential to generate JORC resources.

The Fukushima disaster has caused a major review of safety and operational procedures around the world, and in some cases has caused governments to announce the cessation or reduction of nuclear power development programs.

Generally, however, most countries (including Japan) have acknowledged the place of nuclear power – especially in a carbonconstrained world – which means there will be continued interest in uranium. It is hoped the events in Japan will encourage continued efforts to reduce the real and imagined impacts of nuclear power generation.

Greg Bromley will expand on this and our other activities as part of the ‘Exploration Review’.

coRpoRAte

We are very fortunate to have secured the services of Kenneth Pettit SC as an independent non-executive director. Ken has extensive experience in the areas of commercial, planning and native title law, and was recently appointed Chair of the Port Hedland Port Authority. Ken joined the Board in May of this year and has made a strong and positive contribution to our activities at board level.

Mindax also undertook two capital raisings over the last 12 months. On the 19th of April 2011, the Company completed a placement to a number of sophisticated and professional investors under the Company’s 15% placement capacity to raise gross proceeds of approximately $2.036M. Subsequently, on the 16th of August 2011, the Company also completed a partially underwritten pro rata renounceable entitlements issue to raise gross proceeds of $4.750M. The total amount raised by the placement and entitlements issue was approximately $6.786 million (before associated issue costs) and is currently being applied principally to fund planned exploration and development of the Company’s Mt Forrest Iron Project, to fund exploration at the Company’s other prospects and to provide general working capital for the Company.

I wish to personally thank my fellow Directors, Greg Bromley and the staff and for their commitment to the Company, and especially to our shareholders who have shown strong support for our efforts and achievements during the year. We look forward to further positive developments during 2011/12.

Kind regards,

pRécis

Over the seven years since listing on the ASX Mindax as a committed minerals explorer, has built a significant portfolio of iron, uranium, gold and copper projects in Western Australia’s Yilgarn Craton. This portfolio now extends to a substantial iron resource and to an advanced uranium project.

Focusing on key strategic mineral commodities, Mindax’s objective is to move projects to a resource base through systematic application of geological, geochemical analysis and geophysical expertise. Thereafter these resources must form the basis of future mineral production.

Successful exploration has delivered value for Mindax shareholders through delivery of a substantial resource base at the Mt Forrest iron project and the discovery of strong uranium mineralisation at Mukinbudin. The Company believes that continuing success must be underpinned by its ability to raise sufficient funding to support ongoing exploration and increasingly, its ability to move resources towards production in a timely manner.

Mindax’s main projects are the Mt Forrest iron project near Menzies (north of Kalgoorlie) and the Yilgarn-Avon uranium joint venture in the palaeochannels extending southwest from near Mukinbudin. Mindax has other exploration tenure at the Mortlock copper-gold project in the Goomalling-Northam area east of Perth and at Meekatharra gold project and this continues to be advanced.

Mt Forrest Iron Project (YilgIron Pty Ltd 100%)

At Mt Forrest, drilling since the end of 2009 has established an aggregate resource base of 1,445 million tonnes (see Table 1 below). This has accreted at a rate of approximately 100,000 tonnes per month, with at an exploration cost of around 1 cent per tonne.

Recent work has very much focused on resource delineation and geometallurgy. This is a key part of the project development that is directed to a modest 1.5 to 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) operation out shipping through the Port of Esperance. The project is now within the feasibility spectrum with mining tentatively anticipated in 2013.

The Yilgarn-Avon Uranium Project (Mindax Energy Pty Ltd 53%)

The Yilgarn-Avon uranium project is 53:47 joint venture (yAJV) between Mindax’s wholly owned subsidiary Mindax Energy Pty Ltd and partner Quasar Resources Pty Ltd, an affiliate of Heathgate Resources Inc.

Exploration has now identified two mineralised positions that are advanced and have resource potential. Work is presently focused on further quantifying the potential of these prospects but also on maintain the search for further mineralisation through the ongoing scout drilling program.

Mindax continues to advance its other projects at Mortlock and Meekatharra and to look for similar quality projects to provide future growth for the Company.

the coMpAny

Mindax Limited was listed on the ASX at the end of 2004 and is now in its seventh year of operation.

pRoJect oVeRVieW

Mindax’s main projects continue to be Mt Forrest iron project, 160 km northwest of Menzies and the YAJV uranium project near Mukinbudin in the south west of WA. Over the last twelve months the value of these areas has improved greatly, particularly the significantly improved resource position at Mt Forrest, and the discovery of a second area of high-grade uranium mineralisation identified within YAJV project area.

Ongoing drilling in the Mt Forrest area has increased the iron mineral resource inventory. The iron resource stands at 1.425 Billion tonnes at 31.5% (82.9 million tonnes @ 32.4% JORC indicated and 1,342.2 million tonnes @ 31.5% JORC Inferred) comprising hematite, goethite, martite, micro-platy hematite and magnetite, the largest iron location in WA’s emerging Central Yilgarn Iron Province.

The YAJV Uranium Project in which we now hold the majority equity has advanced to identify a second advanced prospect with high-grade intercepts.

The Company is a committed minerals explorer with a significant portfolio of iron, uranium, copper and gold projects in Western Australia’s Yilgarn Craton. It has achieved a significant iron discovery at Mt Forrest; and our uranium discovery near Mukinbudin is very advanced and is approaching resource status.

Mindax remains a carefully focused, innovative explorer in its key commodities, working diligently towards the goal of a resource base for production. It has extended that skill into the resource delineation area at Mt Forrest as the Company pushes to bring that project to production.

With this underlying asset growth, the Company is also evolving. We have now taken on board our own accounting function with the appointment of the Chief Financial Officer in February 2011.

Successful exploration has been the key driver of value for Mindax shareholders, however the Company has now entered into a new phase critical to the realisation of its discovery at Mt Forrest. That experience further emphasises the commitment to raise funds to ensure the success of the project. Beyond the resource, the issues of mining, processing and infrastructure have a great appetite for funds and are a constant pressure on the board and management. For the time being the Company is adequately funded to carry out its projects in the short term but capital raising that includes searching for suitable strategic partners remains a particular focus.

yilGiRon pty ltD – Mt foRRest pRoJect

The Mt Forrest Project is 100 percent owned by Mindax Limited through its subsidiary YilgIron Pty Ltd. It comprises seven mining leases endorsed for iron ore. Mt Forrest is located 170km from the southbound railway at Menzies and 770km from the port at Esperance.

Mindax has discovered and built a significant iron ore inventory in beneficial magnetite and direct shipping materials. Business case studies indicate production is achievable and the feasibility process has been commenced to confirm that viability. Work is continuing to advance resource status, mining process, processing and transport aspects. The emphasis is presently on establishing a DSO operation on the enriched near surface materials to create an early cash flow with a target in late 2013.

The current near surface goethite-hematite-martite-magnetite resource stands at 19 Mt @ 42.30% fe (6.3 Mt JORC Indicated @ 44.7% and 12.7 Mt JORC Inferred @ 41.1% - uncut). In this regard, drilling to date comprises 318 holes for an aggregate 30,021.8m since commencement in December 2009.

The Company has set an additional exploration target of DSO material of 15 Mt to 30 Mt at an expected grade of 42-58% fe. Noting that the nature of the additional exploration target means that the potential quantity and grade is currently conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient

exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Recent drilling has confirmed low phosphorus, DSO grade material (>55% Fe, 0.06% P) integral with near surface environment of the extensive magnetite resource. Further, the Company’s metallurgical advice has confirmed that where necessary, this material appears amenable to simple beneficiation. Resource delineation will target newly accessible areas of mapped goethitic material and the up-dip projections of high-grade (>45% Fe) magnetite mineralisation.

The current primary magnetite resource stands at 1.43 billion tonnes @ 31.5% fe (82.9 Mt @ 32.4% Fe JORC Indicated and 1,342.2 Mt @ 31.5% Fe JORC Inferred). Recoveries from extensive Davis Tube Recovery (DtR) analysis are in the range 35-40% by weight and concentrate iron grades are of the order of 66-70% Fe, 2.5-7% SiO2 (at a standard 40 micron grind). Primary grades of greater than 50% Fe have been encountered with the strong presence of micro-platey hematite.

The Mt Forrest iron inventory has the potential to sustain steel feed over a thirty (30) year time frame from both the surface DSO feed and eventually high grade beneficiated magnetite products (pellets and concentrates). The current focus is on developing a low phosphorus DSO export operation that could generate significant early cash flows to enhance the economics of a subsequent magnetite operation.

In addition to resource delineation work, the Company has made application for miscellaneous licences to allow identification of water resources for an eventual operation and for a pipeline facility to Menzies on the present rail link to Esperance. Preliminary engineering and hydrology studies of these licences have been undertaken. Drill core has been obtained from the resource for metallurgical testing, engineering logging and petrological studies. Issues of transport and power are also being studied.

Mindax has maintained a strong and successful relationship with the various cultural heritage and environment stakeholder groups by ongoing consultation and involvement with clearing work areas. An environmental management plan is in place and there is frequent interaction with personnel from the Department of Environment and Conservation.

along the western limb of the Mt Forrest fold. A check assay program on iron drilling sample was carried out in parallel to the iron program. This identified a significant interval of 4.8 g/t Au over 21.0 metres from 64 metres down hole in MFC0005. This program will be extended through selected drill holes with a view to establishing any significant gold mineralisation, particularly gold that may need to be moved in the pre-stripping of future iron pits.

Located approximately 30km to the southwest of Mt Forrest, Fred’s Bore covering a cluster of ironstone ridges previously held as the Panhandle Prospect was resecured under YilgIron. The potential of this ground for DSO mineralisation is being reassessed in the light of recent knowledge gained at Mt Forrest. Surface sampling has previously returned up to 64.8% Fe.

The Mt Forrest project initially came into the Mindax portfolio as a gold project including a small gold resource at Paradise Bore. Gold geochemical anomalism supported by scout drilling intercepts outlines 10km of exploration potential

pAlAeochAnnel uRAniuM pRoJect – yilGARn-AVon Joint VentuRe

The Yilgarn-Avon Project is a 53:47 joint venture between Mindax Energy Pty Ltd (a fully owned subsidiary of Mindax Limited) and partner Quasar Resources Pty Ltd, an affiliate of United States based Heathgate Resources Inc, the owner/ operator of the Beverley uranium mine in South Australia. Heathgate are a world leader in the environmentally desirable and low cost In Situ Recovery (isR) uranium extraction technology. Mindax are managers of the YAJV.

The project is based upon very high uranium-in-water values in the headwaters of the ancient Yilgarn river system. The uranium is considered to be derived from extensive weathering of the felsic gneisses and acid intrusives in the area, some of which are extremely enriched in primary uranium. These waters are moving down a palaeochannel system that was developed in the relatively recent Eocene-Pliocene period.

The program has extended over nearly 300km of the palaeochannel with scout drilling to test for uranium and to develop the geological morphology of the channel.

Progressively we have gained greater insight into the complexity within the channel and development of the main channel over geological time. This work is allowing us to be more strategic in how we target follow-up drilling.

At Mukinbudin, 300km north-east of Perth, the scout drilling program has demonstrated sedimentary roll front style uranium mineralisation with drill intercepts of greater than 0.2% U3O8 at two locations. At the Jindarra prospect

discovered in 2009 the anomalous mineralised zone has now been extended to 5km of the palaeochannel. Mineralised horizons occur at three levels. The 60 metre zone appears to show a particular consistency extending over 1000 metres in length by up to 300 metres wide. Mineralisation occurs over thicknesses of 1 to 5 metres of 0.01% U. The peak value in this zone is 1m @ 0.15% U in a 5m interval averaging 0.06% U.

The Yandegin Prospect is 35km downstream from Jindarra and was discovered during September 2010. Discovery holes YAA0269 (1m @ 0.63% U3O8) and YAA0270 (4m @ 0.07% U3O8 including 1m @ 0.24% U3O8) have been extended to outline a footprint of anomalous uranium with a strike length of 4.2km (open upstream), a width of 0.7km and a thickness of up to 18m (Figure 3).

These prospects indicate uranium mineralisation of similar dimensions to similar type deposits such as at Beverley in South Australia. The forward program at both Yandegin and Jindarra is to develop more detail with a view to establishing a resource.

These discoveries provide confidence in the exploration model that is directing the program as it extends throughout the palaeochannel system. Similarities in the style of uranium mineralisation at the two key sites suggests that the ore forming processes are operating regionally throughout the palaeochannel, greatly increasing the prospectivity of its remaining unexplored areas.

The Mortlock Project includes the Ularring Project where the YAJV is earning an 80% interest from Sipa Exploration NL (sipa) and the Centre Forest-Southern Brook (cfsB) block which is 100% YAJV. These tenements cover copper-gold mineralisation previously identified by Sipa. Airborne Electro-Magnetic (AeM) surveys and regional analysis of geological, geochemical and geophysical data has resolved numerous targets for follow-up.

The CFSB mineralisation is characterised by strong copper surface geochemistry over low-grade gold and copper mineralisation (25m at 0.47g/t Au, 0.18% Cu) in the primary zone.

Scout drilling undertaken to the east of this mineralisation and traversing airborne conductivity targets, identified significant blankets of anomalous copper geochemistry (>1000ppm Cu) within regolith overlying basement. This extended across the AEM response.

A program of ground electro-magnetic surveys further detailing these AEM responses defined 3 drill targets. This drilling did not intersect basement mineralisation and the regolith copper anomaly remains unexplained. Further work is contemplated.

Elsewhere the Mortlock project area contains further targets at Wilding Road (iron), Jennacubine (base metals) and Balley Balley Brook (base metals, gold) that require testing.

The Meekatharra North gold project lies immediately along strike from the famous Paddy’s Flat field where 2.5 million ounces of gold has been produced from shear hosted high-grade lodes. The structures that control the Paddy’s Flat mines can be traced throughout the Meekatharra North project area under shallow, but extensive cover. Mindax testing of structural positions has continued with intersections of Paddy’s Flat style alteration and minor mineralisation but sustainable trends have proved elusive. Results have however provided encouragement for further exploration.

Over the last year, Doray Minerals Limited at Andy Well, adjacent to our northern project boundary, have discovered the very high-grade Wilbur lode that currently boasts an inventory of 174,000 ounces. The mineralisation is reportedly contained in a narrow shear zones oriented southwest. These structures can be traced throughout the Meekatharra North project area under extensive cover that deepens to the south. These structures are the target of future exploration.

Corporate governanCe statement

==> picture [72 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

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 (“the Company” or, including its subsidiaries, “the Group”) is a junior exploration company. Its’ Board and management are committed to a high standard of corporate governance practices, ensuring that the Company and its subsidiaries comply with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rules, Company Constitution and other applicable laws and regulations.

At the present point in the Company’s corporate development, the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations are likely to be implemented in stages, given the size and simplicity of the business. The principles, recommendations and details of the current and evolving governance practices are identified in the following pages.

  • ° monitoring financial performance including approval of the annual and half-year financial reports and liaison with the company’s auditors;

  • ° appointment, performance assessment and, if necessary, removal of the managing director;

  • ° ratifying the appointment and/or removal and contributing to the performance assessment for the members of the senior management team including the CFO and the company secretary;

  • ° ensuring there are effective management processes in place and approving major corporate initiatives;

  • ° enhancing and protecting the reputation of the organisation;

  • ° overseeing the operation of the Group’s system for compliance and risk management reporting to shareholders;

  • ° ensuring appropriate resources are available to senior management.

Day to day management of the Group’s affairs and the implementation of the corporate strategy and policy initiatives are the responsibility of the Managing Director. The Managing Director’s performance is reviewed annually by the other non-executive Board members. Further, the Chairman is responsible for administering an evaluation of Board performance on an annual basis.

pRinciple 1:

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The relationship between the Board and senior management is critical to the group’s long-term success. The directors are responsible to the shareholders for the performance of the group in both the short and the longer term; and seek to balance sometimes competing objectives in the best interests of the group as a whole. Their focus is to enhance the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders and to ensure the group is properly managed. To fulfil this role, the Board is ultimately responsible for:

  • ° providing strategic guidance to the Group including contributing to the development of and approving the corporate strategy;

  • ° reviewing and approving business plans, the annual budget and financial plans including available resources and major capital expenditure initiatives;

  • overseeing and monitoring:

  • °

  • organisational performance and the achievement of the Group’s strategic goals and objectives;

  • compliance with the Group’s codes of conduct;

  • progress of major capital expenditures and other significant corporate projects including any acquisitions or divestments;

pRinciple 2:

Structure the Board to add value

The Board operates in accordance with the broad principles set out in its Board charter (which was formally adopted on 16 August 2010). The charter details, amongst other things, the Board’s composition, roles, responsibilities and Board evaluation processes.

The Company has a five member Board comprising one executive director and four non-executive directors, including the Chairman. The roles of Chairman and Managing Director are not combined. All directors reside in Australia.

The Group’s Managing Director, Mr Bromley is not considered independent by virtue of his executive role in the Group, neither are Messrs George or Chow by virtue of financial remuneration received as consultants during the previous three financial years or post financial year end. Mr Tsang is a substantial shareholder of the Company and is therefore not considered independent. Mr Pettit is considered independent by virtue of his small shareholding in the Company and freedom from any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere his independent exercise of his judgement. The Board has considered its materiality threshold and deemed it too small to have a majority of independent directors on the Board.

==> picture [596 x 111] intentionally omitted <==

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 possess complimentary 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 utilise Mr George, Mr Tsang, Mr Chow and Mr Pettit’s skills as consultants to provide crucial peer review of the corporate, legal and commercial aspects of the Group’s operations.

Mr George acts as Chairman of the Company and while not satisfying the ‘independence test’ set out in the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and 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) currently comprising Mr Pettit, Mr Chow and Mr George; and a Remuneration committee (commenced December 2004) currently comprising Mr Pettit, Mr Tsang, Mr Chow and Mr George. Mr Pettit is Chairman of both committees.

The Company has also constituted a Nominations Committee comprised of the non-executive directors of the Company, formalising a charter on 23 September 2010. Mr Chow is Chairman of the Nominations Committee. The Nominations Committee and the Board give consideration to the appointment of specialist and independent directors when the activities and scale of operations of the Group warrant such appointments.

Details of the directors’ qualifications and attendance at such committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report.

New directors are provided with a letter of appointment setting out the Company’s expectations, their responsibilities, rights and the terms and conditions of their employment. All new directors participate in a comprehensive, formal induction program which covers the operation of the Board and its committees and financial, strategic, operations and risk management issues.

The Constitution of the Company notes that non-executive directors cannot hold office for a period longer than three years without submitting themselves for re-election at the next relevant AGM. One third of the non-executive directors must retire by rotation at each AGM together with any new directors appointed by the Board during the period since the last general meeting. Retiring directors are eligible to stand for re-election.

Each year the Board will conduct an evaluation of its performance. The Chairman is responsible for administering such evaluation.

pRinciple 3:

Promote ethical and responsible decision making

Code of conduct

The Company has developed a statement of values and a code of conduct (“the code”) which has been endorsed by the Board and applies to all directors and employees. The Code was formally adopted on 16 August 2010. The Code will be reviewed at least once every two years and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity and to take into account legal obligations and reasonable expectations of the Company’s stakeholders.

In summary, the Code requires that at all times all company personnel act with integrity, objectivity and in compliance with the letter and spirit of any applicable law, rule or regulation; together with the protocols, policies and procedures of the Group.

The Code requires employees who are aware of unethical practices within the Group or breaches of the Group’s policies to promptly report these using the Group’s whistle-blower program. This can be done anonymously.

The Audit Committee reports directly to the Board on the compliance with the Code and has responsibility for the initial investigations for significant issues raised under the whistleblower program.

Dealing in Company Securities, Misuse of Price Sensitive Information and Insider Trading

Mindax Limited has in place a formal policy on “Dealing in company securities, Misuse of price sensitive information and insider trading” which applies to all directors and employees.

Any proposed trading in the Company’s securities by directors (other than the Managing Director), staff and other company officers is to be firstly advised to the Managing Director. The Managing Director must himself/herself advise the Chairman of any trade proposed by him/her. Once the Managing Director or Chairman (as applicable) has given approval, the relevant trade may be executed. Such policy clearly mitigates the risk of breaching the insider trading provisions and gives the Managing Director control to restrict trading if the Managing Director may be privy to sensitive information before the other Company officers and personnel are, or the Managing Director has knowledge that certain sensitive information (eg: exploration results) are due for receipt within a short term timeframe.

The Board may also impose trading bans at any time if it considers that as a consequence of any circumstances that have not been disclosed to the market, there is a risk that they or the Group’s employees or other company officers may trade inappropriately.

Group directors, staff and other company officers are prohibited from trading during the following ‘closed periods’:

  • a) during the two week period immediately before the release of Mindax’s quarterly reports;

  • b) two weeks immediately before the Company’s Annual General Meeting when it is customary for the Chairman and Managing Director to provide further information about the Group’s current business activities; and

  • c) not until after a reasonable amount of time has passed in respect of a market announcement that released what was price sensitive information, which was not previously available to the market, is released (generally two trading days, unless another period is considered appropriate by the Board).

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

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

The Directors are satisfied that the Group has complied with its policies on ethical standards, including trading in securities.

Workplace Diversity

The Company values diversity and recognises the benefits it can bring to the organisation’s ability to achieve its goals. Accordingly the Group has developed and adopted a Diversity policy. This policy outlines the Group’s diversity objectives in relation to gender, age, cultural background and ethnicity. It includes requirements for the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving diversity and for the Board to assess annually both the objectives, and the Group’s progress in achieving them.

The Diversity Policy provides a framework for the Group to achieve:

  • a) diverse and skilled workforce, leading to continuous improvement in service delivery and achievement of corporate goals;

  • b) workplace culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of all staff;

  • c) improved employment and career development opportunities for women;

  • d) work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives through improved awareness of the benefits of workforce diversity and successful management of diversity; and

  • e) awareness in all staff of their rights and responsibilities with regards to fairness, equity and respect for all aspects of diversity.

In accordance with this policy and ASX Corporate Governance Principles, the Board will establish objectives in relation to gender diversity. The aim is to achieve such objectives over the coming 1 to 3 years as director and senior executive positions become vacant and appropriately skilled candidates are available.

pRinciple 4:

Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

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

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer 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 2011.

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer 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 in respect to financial reporting risks.

==> picture [596 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

20

==> picture [596 x 111] intentionally omitted <==

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.

Audit processes and policies

The Audit Committee consists of the following non-executive directors:

Mr K Pettit (Chair) Mr G George Mr B Chow

Details of the directors’ attendance at Audit Committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report. The Board is also ultimately responsible for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and appropriate ethical standards for the management of the Group.

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 Group’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;

  • ° Considering whether non-audit services provided by the external auditor are consistent with maintaining the external auditor’s independence; and

  • ° Review and monitor related party transactions and assess their propriety.

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

The external auditor, BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (“BDo Audit”) has engagement terms refreshed annually and has indicated its independence to the Board. BDO Audit were appointed as auditors in December 2003.

pRinciple 5 & 6:

Make timely and balanced disclosures and respect the rights of shareholders

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.

As set out in the Company’s continuous Disclosure policy, the Company Secretary has been nominated as the person responsible for communications with the ASX. This role includes responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements in the ASX Listing Rules. The Managing Director and Chairman are responsible for communication with analysts, brokers, shareholders, the media and the public.

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:

  • ° electronic communication via the ASX website and the Company’s website; 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.

Timely and balanced disclosure

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(s).

All information disclosed to the ASX is posted on the Company’s website as soon as it is disclosed to the ASX. When analysts are briefed on aspects of the Group’s operations, the material used in the presentation is released to the ASX and posted on the Company’s web site. Procedures have also been established for reviewing whether any price sensitive information has been inadvertently disclosed and, if so, this information is also immediately released to the market. Notably, continuous disclosure is discussed at all regular Board meetings and on an ongoing basis to support compliance.

The Group’s website also enables users to provide feedback and has an option for shareholders to register their email address for direct email updates on company matters.

The Group seeks to provide opportunities for shareholders to participate through electronic means. Initiatives to facilitate this include making all Company announcements, media briefings, details of Company meetings, press releases for the last three years and financial reports for the last five years available on the Company’s website.

pRinciple 7:

Recognise and manage risk

The Group has identified material business risks associated with its day-to-day operations and the possible impacts on the Group as a consequence. This is recorded in the Group’s internal register and is continuously being developed and updated. The Group aims to review its’ risk management policies on a quarterly basis to mitigate material risks identified from eventuating and to ensure a sound internal control system is in place. The Managing Director and Company Secretary are required to report to the Board if any material business risks that significantly impact on the business have arisen since the last Board meeting and if an effective internal control policy is in place and has been followed (as applicable). The Board declares that it has received assurance from the Managing Director and Company Secretary that a sound and effective risk management and internal control system had been adhered to and operated during the financial year ended 30 June 2011.

In summary, the Group’s internal risk management policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputational and financial risks are identified, assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Group’s business objectives.

The Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer have provided additional certification that the financial statements are founded on sound risk management systems and that compliance and control systems are operating efficiently and effectively in respect to financial reporting risks.

Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. The organisation has been structured in a way to clearly draw lines of accountability and delegation of authority. The Board actively promotes a culture of quality and integrity.

pRinciple 8:

Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Remuneration Committee consists of the following non-executive directors:

Mr K Pettit (Chair) Mr G George Mr B Chow Mr Tsang.

Details of these directors’ attendance at Remuneration Committee meetings are set out in the Directors’ Report. 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. Ultimate responsibility for the Company’s remuneration policy rests with the full Board.

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.

Information on directors’ and executives’ remuneration, including principles used to determine remuneration, is set out in the Directors’ Report under the ‘Remuneration Report’. In accordance with Group policy, participants in equity-based remuneration plans are not permitted to enter into any transactions that would limit the economic risk of options or other unvested entitlements.

Each member of the senior executive team signs a formal employment agreement at the time of their appointment covering a range of matters including their duties, rights, responsibilities and any entitlements on termination. The standard agreement refers to a specific formal job description.

The Nominations Committee presently assumes responsibility for overseeing management succession planning, including the implementation of appropriate executive development programmes and ensuring adequate arrangements are in place, so that appropriate candidates are recruited for senior positions.

Access to professional advice

Issues of substance are considered by the Remuneration Committee and 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, subject to the Chairman approving the terms of such external advice.

ReVieW of opeRAtions

Corporate

Capital Raisings totalling $6.8M

On the 19th of April 2011, the Company completed a placement of 5,818,811 ordinary fully paid shares (ranking equally in all respects with existing shares) at 35 cents per share to raise gross proceeds of approximately $2.036M. The placement was made to a number of sophisticated and professional investors, and the securities were issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity.

On the 16th of August 2011, the Company also completed a partially underwritten pro rata renounceable entitlements issue (“Rights Issue”) to raise gross proceeds of $4.750M. The basis of the Rights Issue was one new share (ranking equally in all respects with existing shares) for every five shares held at an issue price of 25 cents per share, together with one free attaching new ‘piggyback’ option for every new share issued.

The total amount raised by the placement and entitlements issue was approximately $6.786 million (before associated issue costs) and is currently being applied to fund planned exploration and development of the Company’s Mt Forrest Iron Project, to fund exploration at the Company’s other prospects and to provide general working capital for the Company.

On 13 July 2011 and 18 July 2011 the Company issued 2 ordinary shares and 7 ordinary shares respectively from the conversion of options with a 75 cent exercise price and an expiry date of 1 December 2011.

Appointment of an additional Non-Executive Director

On the 16th of May 2011, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Kenneth Pettit to the Board as a Non-Executive director. It is the view of the Board of Directors that as the Company progresses towards the development of the resource at the Mt Forrest Project an expansion to the Board membership is in the interests of shareholders.

Mr Pettit is a distinguished lawyer and senior barrister practising in Perth.

Exploration

The consolidated entity continued its exploration efforts on its tenement prospects during the financial year ended 30 June 2011. Some highlights include:

Iron Ore (Comprising the Mt Forrest Project)

Updated resource modelling was carried out by independent geological consultants Snowden Mining Consultants Pty Ltd (“Snowden”) for the regolith iron mineralisation and the underlying magnetite mineralisation.

The revised mineral resource of regolith iron mineralisation, no cutoff, was estimated to be 19.0 million tonnes at 42.3% Fe (JORC Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource classification).

Preliminary metallurgical test work undertaken with Promet Metallurgical consultants has identified additional value in unlocking lower grade regolith material by beneficiation of material above a 40% Fe cutoff to a DSO equivalent product. Further test work will be carried out in the prefeasibility study commencing later this year.

To guide further resource definition, an overall Exploration Target of 35 to 50* million tonnes of Regolith Iron material at a grade of 42% to 58% Fe has been established from the enhanced geological understanding developed from mineralisation at Mt Forrest.

==> picture [596 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

24

==> picture [596 x 111] intentionally omitted <==

The Exploration Target has taken into consideration:

  • ° Existing iron resources and input from previous resource modelling;

  • ° Target limitation to 50m below surface;

  • ° Updated surface mapping and sampling;

  • ° Density information.

  • NOTE: The nature of the exploration target means that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

The magnetite mineral resource was also upgraded to be 1,425 million tonnes of a head Fe grade 31.5% (JORC Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource classification). The Mineral Resource extends over an aggregate strike length of 9,000m to a maximum depth of 450m below surface.

Ongoing DTR work at 40µ on the magnetite material has returned encouraging results producing iron concentrates exceeding 70% with selected areas producing high concentrates at a coarse 150µ grind. Additional DTR work will be completed this year and all the data will be included in an updated mineral resource estimation.

Diamond drilling on the DSO and magnetite material has been completed and the core will undergo metallurgical test work later this year.

Ministerial consent has been granted to the remaining area of the project which will allow exploration on the remaining untested DSO targets at Bulga, Currawong and Emu. The Company has also commenced level 2 Flora and Fauna surveying and a scoping study report on the magnetite material will be completed in September.

Desktop evaluation has identified gold mineralisation located within the footprint of the potential DSO open pit and this additional mineralisation can contribute to the early cashflow of any potential DSO operations at Mt Forrest.

Uranium (Comprising the Yilgarn Avon Joint Venture – Palaeochannel Project)

Drilling results from the 2011 Q1 program at Jindarra and Yandegin in the Mukinbudin Project area confirmed and extended the mineralised footprints. At Jindarra the mineralised zone was extended 5.5km to the north including intersections of up to 0.09% U3O8 (760ppm U). Drilling in this northern area was sparse on 1000 metre sections. More detailed drilling is expected to re-rate the area.

The Yandegin mineralisation extends over 4km and includes new values of up to 0.25% U3O8 (2086ppm U) and an 18 metre interval of 0.06% U3O8 (482ppm U).

Encouragingly there were a large number of results having thickness of 5m or greater and grades approaching and exceeding 0.05% U3O8 (425ppm U) located at a depth which suggests a consistent mineralised horizon.

Initial drilling results also suggest that the mineralisation is suited to the low cost, low impact Insitu Recovery style of mining pioneered in Australia by Mindax’s joint venture partner Quasar Resources.

A number of high grade samples from Yandegin and Jindarra have been submitted to CSIRO to undertake studies on the uranium mineralogy. This work will involve looking at the samples using an SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and conducting X-ray Diffraction analysis of some samples.

A Conceptual Exploration Target is currently being devised for the Mukinbudin Project area and work to establish a maiden uranium resource for the Wheatbelt at the Yandegin Prospect is underway.

Copper, Gold (Comprising the Yilgarn Avon Joint venture – Mortlock Project)

Ground EM was conducted over numerous anomalies and has generated several priority targets, with land access negotiations in progress to enable drilling.

Gold (Comprising the Meekatharra Project)

The delineation of a high grade gold resource by Doray Minerals Limited adjacent and along strike to Mindax’s Meekatharra Project has increased the prospectivity of the tenement. This new resource is only 2,000m north of the tenement boundary and it is expected the same gold controlling structure will continue into the Mindax ground.

coMpetent peRsons stAteMent

The mineral resource estimates are reported under the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code, 2004 Edition) (“the Code”).

The estimates were carried out by parties who have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the Code. Throughout the financial year the following Competent Persons provided estimates for the Group:

  • ° Mr chris Allen, BSc (Hons), MBA, MAIG of CSA Global Ltd who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG) . Mr Allen who now works for Atlas Iron Limited consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

  • ° Mr John Graindorge, MAusIMM of Snowden Mining Industry Consultants Pty Ltd who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM) . Mr Graindorge consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

  • ° Michael Andrew who is a member of the MAusIMM . Mr Andrew who now works as a fulltime employee for Optiro consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Mr Gregory John Bromley who is a member of the MAusIMM , with more than 5 years experience in the field of activity being reported on. Mr Bromley is a fulltime employee of the Company and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the Code. Mr Bromley consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

DiViDenDs pAiD oR RecoMMenDeD

No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.

finAnciAl position

The net assets of the Group have decreased by $555,712 from 30 June 2010 to $19,006,651 at 30 June 2011. This decrease is largely due to the following factors:

  • Writing off $1.2 million of exploration expenditure;

  • °

  • ° General expenses of $1.6 million relating to the running and administration of the Group; and

  • A $2 million capital raising.

  • °

Except for the above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or could significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

futuRe DeVelopMents

Likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

enViRonMentAl issues

The Group’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulations under both Commonwealth and State legislation. The Board believes that the Group has adequate systems in place for the management of its environmental regulations and is not aware of a breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Group.

remuneration report (audited)

==> picture [72 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

ReMuneRAtion policy

The objective of the Group’s remuneration framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered.

The Group’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 Group’s operations. The main principles of the policy are:

  • ° Reward reflects the competitive market in which the Group operates:

  • ° Individual reward should be linked to performance criteria (at this stage no formal performance criteria have been set by the remuneration committee); and

  • ° Executives should be rewarded for both financial and non-financial performance.

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 Group and shareholders to do so. Within this framework, the Remuneration Committee considers remuneration policies and practices generally, and recommends specific remuneration packages and other terms of employment for executive directors and senior management. The Corporate Governance Statement provides further information on the role of this committee. Ultimate responsibility for the Group’s remuneration policies rests with the full Board.

Non-Executive directors

Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on and the responsibilities of them individually. Non-Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of Non-Executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration.

The current base remuneration was last reviewed in September 2008. The Chairman currently receives a fixed fee for his services as a Director.

The Group’s Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration package contains only one component, being a primary benefit of quarterly director’s fees.

Non-Executive Director fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $400,000 pa and was approved by shareholders at the 2010 Annual General Meeting.

Executive directors

The Group’s Executive Director’s remuneration package contains the following components:

  • Base pay and benefits, including superannuation;

  • °

  • ° Short Term performance incentives; and

  • ° Equity – share options granted under the employee and consultant share option scheme.

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration.

Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executive’s discretion. External remuneration information provides benchmark information to ensure the base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role. Base fees are reviewed annually to ensure the level is competitive with the market. There is no guaranteed base fee increases included in any Executive Director contracts. A vehicle and car bay is also provided as an additional benefit to Executive Directors.

peRfoRMAnce BAseD ReMuneRAtion

Performance based remuneration for key management personnel is limited to the granting of shares and options.

RelAtionship BetWeen ReMuneRAtion policy AnD coMpAny peRfoRMAnce

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives, including the issue of options to the majority of directors and executives which is to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Group believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.

The following table shows the loss per share, profit/(loss) and share price of the Group at the end of the respective financial years.

peRfoRMAnce conDitions linKeD to ReMuneRAtion

At this stage, the Group’s remuneration of key management personnel does not include any performance conditions. The Board believes that at this stage of the Group’s development, linking remuneration to financial performance indicators such as share price, revenue or profit is inappropriate. This may change once the Group commences production.

seRVice AGReeMents

On appointment to the Board, all Non-Executive Directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of director.

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director and other key management personnel are also formalised in service agreements.

By way of updated Service Agreement dated 23 December 2010, the Company renewed Gregory Bromley’s appointment as its Managing Director. Mr Bromley continues to be paid $295,000 in annual salary inclusive of 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 serviced and maintained vehicle with agreement that private use be an infrequent and incidental component of total usage. The service contract will expire on 30 September 2011 unless extended by the Board. Future bonuses are to be considered subject to meeting performance hurdles (at this stage no formal performance criteria have been set by the remuneration committee).

The agreement may be terminated by the Company, without notice where Mr Bromley is guilty of any gross default or serious 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. If the agreement is terminated by Mr Bromley without notice or by the company with notice, 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 was extended by written notice 4 weeks from the date of the relevant term to July 2011. Time currently incurred in respect of work performed by the consultant is being charged at the consultant’s specified charge out rates.

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Mindax Limited and controlled entities (the Group).

1. suMMARy of siGnificAnt AccountinG policies

Mindax Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 .

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities.

These financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intergroup balances and transactions between entities in the Group have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The noncontrolling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Mindax Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Mindax Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note (19) to the financial statements.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).

Income Tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are

==> picture [596 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [596 x 111] intentionally omitted <==

available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

requirements. Those cashflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows.

Provisions

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

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.

Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. All other companies within the Group have Australian dollars as their functional currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the yearend exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of nonmonetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • ° assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;

  • ° income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year; and

  • ° retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the consolidated balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

1. suMMARy of siGnificAnt AccountinG policies (CONTINUED)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is the equivalent to the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs, except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or at cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as:

  • ° the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;

  • less principal repayments;

  • °

  • ° plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method ; and

  • less any reduction for impairment.

  • °

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Derecognition

Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of noncash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.

Plant and Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straightline basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The estimated useful lives used for each class of depreciable
assets are:
class of fixed Asset
useful life
Plant and Equipment
3 - 15 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

==> picture [596 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

46

==> picture [596 x 111] intentionally omitted <==

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Property, plant and equipment is de-recognised and removed from the consolidated balance sheet on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. Gains and losses from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent costs are included in the property, plant and equipment’s carrying value or recognised as a separate asset when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be realised and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss.

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditures 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 expenditures in respect of that area are written off in the financial period the decision is made.

Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Impairment of Assets

carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same class of asset.

Non-financial assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets, assets from employee benefits, and deferred acquisition costs, are assessed for any indication of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Any indication of impairment requires formal testing of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The asset’s value in use is calculated as the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a pretax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the asset. Assets that cannot be tested individually for impairment are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows (the asset’s cash generating unit).

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses are allocated first, to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash generating units, and then to other assets of the group on a pro rata basis.

Assets other than goodwill are assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods for assets other than goodwill are reversed up to the carrying amounts that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include considering external sources of information including, dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of preacquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is

Interests in joint ventures

The Group’s shares of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint controlled entities or assets have been included in the appropriate items of the consolidated financial statements. Details of the Group’s interests are shown in Note (20): Joint Ventures.

The Group’s interest in joint venture entities are brought to account using the equity method of accounting (refer to Note (20): Joint Venture for details) in the consolidated financial statements. The parent entity’s interest in joint venture entities are brought to account at cost.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Group during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Leases

Leasing of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the year.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to ready for its intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consists of finance charges and interest expenses calculated using the effective interest method, and include exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as interest cost adjustments.

Earnings per share

Basic loss per share is calculated as net loss attributable to owners of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the net loss attributable to owners of the Company and the number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which include shares options.

Share-based payment transactions

Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of Share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for equity instruments (“equity settled transactions”).

When the goods or services acquired in a Share-based payment transaction do not qualify for recognition as assets, they are recognised as expenses.

The cost of equity settled transactions and the corresponding increase in equity is measured at the fair value of the goods or services acquired. Where the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is determined indirectly by the fair value of the equity instruments using the Black Scholes option valuation technique.

Equity settled transactions that vest after employees complete a specified period of service are recognised as services are received during the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

==> picture [596 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

48

==> picture [596 x 111] intentionally omitted <==

Key Estimates - Impairment

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.

Key judgments - Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The Group capitalises expenditure relating to exploration and evaluation where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves. While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written off since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded.

New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2010:

  • ° AASB 2009-5 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project;

  • ° AASB 2009-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Group Cash settled Share-based Payment Transactions;

  • ° AASB 2009-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Rights Issues; and

  • ° AASB 2010-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project.

The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.

New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods and have not yet been applied in the financial report. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

  • ° AASB 2010-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Disclosures on Transfers of Financial Assets (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). Amendments made to AASB 7 Financial

Instruments: Disclosures in November 2010, introduce additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from transferred financial assets. The amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s disclosures. The Group intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2011.

  • ° AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 10 introduces certain changes to the consolidation principles, including the concept of de facto control and changes in relation to the special purpose entities. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.

  • ° AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for the annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 11 introduces certain changes to the accounting for joint arrangements. Joint arrangements will be classified as either joint operations (where parties with joint control have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities) or joint ventures (where parties with joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint arrangements structured as a separate vehicle will generally be treated as joint ventures and accounted for using the equity method. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.

  • ° AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). AASB 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value of financial and nonfinancial items recognised at fair value on the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group is continuing to assess the impact of the standard.

  • ° AASB 2011-9 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013). AASB 101, amended in June 2011, introduces amendments to align the presentation items of other comprehensive income with US GAAP. The Group will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2013. When the standard is first adopted, there will be changes to the presentation of the statement of comprehensive income. However, there will be no impact on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

  • ° AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). AASB 1054, issued in May 2011, moves additional Australian specific disclosure requirements for profit entities from various Australian Accounting Standards into this Standard as a result of TransTasman Convergence Project. AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures removes the requirement to disclose each class of capital commitments contracted for at the end of the reporting period (other than commitments for the supply of inventories). When the standard is adopted for the first time for the financial year ending 30 June 2012, the financial statements will no longer include disclosures about capital and other expenditure commitments as these are no longer required by AASB 1054.

AASB 9 addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. The Group is continuing to assess its full impact.

  • ° Revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). In December 2009 the AASB issued a revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. It is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendment clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. The Group’s will apply the amended standard from 1 July 2011. When the amendments are applied, the Group will need to disclose any transactions between its subsidiaries and its associates. However, there will be no impact on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

  • ° AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements (effective from 1 July 2013). On 30 June 2010 the AASB officially introduced a revised differential reporting framework in Australia. Under this framework, a two tier differential reporting regime applies to all entities that prepare general purpose financial statements. The Group is listed on the ASX and is not eligible to adopt the new Australian Accounting Standards Reduced Disclosure Requirements. The two standards will therefore have no impact on the financial statements of the entity.

  • ° AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (effective from 1 January 2012). In December 2010, the AASB amended AASB 112 Income Taxes to provide a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model. AASB 112 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the way management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the relevant assets or liabilities that is through use or through sale. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that investment property which is measured at fair value is recovered entirely by sale. The amendment is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s financial statements. The Group intends to apply the amendment from 1 July 2012.

  • ° AASB 119 Elimination of the ‘corridor’ approach for deferring gains/losses for defined benefit plans, actuarial gains/losses on remeasuring the defined benefit plan obligation/asset to be recognised in OCI rather than in profit or loss, and cannot be reclassified in subsequent periods, subtle amendments to timing for recognition of liabilities for termination benefits, and employee benefits expected to be settled (as opposed to due to settled under current standard) within 12 months after the end of the reporting period are short term benefits, and therefore not discounted when calculating leave liabilities. Annual leave not expected to be used within 12 months of end of reporting period will in future be discounted when calculating leave liability. This standard has no impact as there are no annual leave provision amounts that are noncurrent. The Group will apply this from 1 July 2013.

The Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above accounting standards.

The net deferred tax assets arising from these balances have not been recognised as an asset because recovery is not probable at the point in time. The recoupment of available tax loses as at the 30 June 2011 is contingent upon the following:

i) The Group deriving future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit to be realised;

ii) The conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation continuing to be complied with; and

iii) There being no changes in tax legislation which adversely affect the Group from realising the benefit.

Options

For information relating to share options issued to key management personnel (under the employee option scheme) during the financial year, refer to Note (17): Interests of Key Management Personnel.

The current Mindax Limited Employee and Consultant Option Scheme (“EOS”) was approved by shareholders at a general meeting held on 27 November 2008. The purpose of the EOS is to provide a means by which employees (including directors of the Company) and consultants, upon whom the responsibilities for the successful growth of the Company rest, can share in such growth and recognise the ability and efforts of those who have contributed to the success of the Company.

The key terms of the EOS include:

  • ° Options are issued to selected Eligible Employees for free;

  • ° The allotment of options with any attaching conditions is at the discretion of the Board of Directors;

  • ° Shares allotted on the exercise of the options are to be issued at an exercise price which is the greater of:

  • £ 120% of the market value of the shares on the day the option is issued;

  • £ 25 cents; or

  • £ any greater exercise price determined by the Board and advised to the Employee or Consultant when Options are offered to the Employee or Consultant,

  • £ Options are unlisted and not transferable except with prior written approval of the Board; and

  • ° Options carry no dividend rights or voting rights.

The Company had a total of 2,350,000 employee and consultant options over ordinary shares in the Company as at 30 June 2011 (2010: 2,450,000).

No options were issued during the period.

Capital Management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The net assets of the Group are equivalent to capital. Net capital is obtained through capital raising on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The Board of Directors monitors capital on an adhoc basis. No formal targets are in place for a return on capital, or for gearing ratios, as the Group has not derived any income from their mineral exploration and currently has no debt facilities in place.

Due to their short term nature, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Financial Risk Management Policies

Exposure to key financial risks is managed in accordance with the Group’s risk management policy with the objective to ensure that the financial risks inherent in exploration activities are identified and then managed or kept as low as reasonably practicable.

The main financial risks that arise in the normal course of business are market risk (primarily interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Different methods are used to measure and manage these risk exposures. Liquidity risk is monitored through the ongoing review of available cash and future commitments for exploration expenditure. Exposure to liquidity risk is limited by anticipating liquidity shortages and ensures capital can be raised in advance of shortages. It is the Board’s policy that no speculative trading in financial instruments be undertaken so as to limit expose to price risk.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of financial risks rests with the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, under the authority of the Board. The Board is appraised of these risks from time to time and agrees any policies that may be undertaken to manage any of the risks identified.

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each financial instrument are disclosed in Note (1) to the financial statements. The carrying values less the impairment allowance for receivables and payables are assumed to approximate fair values due to their short term nature. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to variable interest rates.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

a) Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential nonperformance by counter parties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

The Group has no customers and consequently no significant exposure to bad debts or other credit risks. During the period however, Mindax invoiced its Joint Venture partner, Quasar Resources Pty Ltd, for capital expenditures incurred in the Yilgran Avon area of interest. These costs amounted to $1,683,412 which were outstanding at 30 June 2011 and recorded as receivables. Management are satisfied that this balance is recoverable due to the options available to Mindax should Quasar not pay the costs. An option that has already been exercised during the period was Quasar to dilute their share of the Joint Venture by the amount owing to Mindax. Management is willing to exercise this option if Quasar Resources were to opt not to pay.

With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and receivables, the exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. At reporting date cash and deposits were held with Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corporation.

==> picture [596 x 27] intentionally omitted <==

58

==> picture [596 x 111] intentionally omitted <==

The credit quality of the financial assets that are either past due or impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. All cash balances are deposits with financial institutions with ‘AA’ S&P ratings. The term deposits disclosed in Trade and other receivables (Note 5) are also deposits with financial institutions with ‘AA’ S&P ratings. The remaining trade and other receivables balance is to customers or institutions with no credit ratings.

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.

b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash reserves to meet the ongoing operational requirements of the business. It is the Group’s policy to maintain sufficient funds in cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, the Group monitors its ongoing exploration cash requirements and raises equity funding as and when appropriate to meet such planned requirements. The Group has no undrawn financing facilities. Trade and other payables, the only financial liability of the Group, are due within 3 months.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

The financial assets and liabilities noted above are interest free.

c) Market risk – Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s cashflow interest rate risk primarily arises from cash at bank and deposits subject to market bank rates. At reporting date, the Group does not have any borrowings. The Group does not enter into hedges. An increase/(decrease) in interest rates by 1% during the whole of the respective periods would have led to an increase/(decrease) in both equity and losses of less than $10,000. 1% was thought to be appropriate because it represents four 0.25 basis point rate rises/falls, which is appropriate in the present economic climate. The majority of cash held in a Term Deposit earns interest income at a rate of 5.59% p.a.

16. opeRAtinG seGMents

Identification of reportable segments

The group has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments whereby segment information is presented using a ‘management approach’, i.e. segment information is provided on the same basis as information used for internal reporting purposes.

This has resulted in the segment being disaggregated into four reportable segments based on the minerals present in the Projects detailed in the Quarterly Activities Report released to the Australian Securities Exchange each quarter, prepared by the Managing Director. Based on the contents of this report, the four reportable segments identified are:

  • ° Uranium (Comprising the Yilgarn Avon Joint Venture (JV) – Palaeochannel Project and other non JV projects)

  • ° Gold (Comprising the Meekatharra North Project)

  • ° Copper and Gold (Comprising the Yilgarn Avon Joint venture – Mortlock Project)

  • ° Iron Ore (Comprising the Mt Forrest and Fred’s Bore Project)

Segment information provided to the executive management committee for the year ended 30 June 2011 is as follows:
