There was no significant change in the nature of the Group’s activities during the year.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends were paid or declared during the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Mindax has undergone a major rationalisation of tenure retaining its flagship iron project, Mt Forrest, located in Western Australia (Please refer to Figure 1).
The primary focus for the company is to remain a going concern and raise funds to eventually continue its development pathway for the Mt Forrest Iron Project.
The commercial and technical work completed in the past 12 months enables the retention of the project and the future of the company. Mindax has significantly reduced its tenement holding to only the seven mining tenements for 54 km[2] at Mt Forrest and the project remains in good standing.
Several tenements were assessed as having low/nil prospectivity and were surrendered.

Project Summary
Mt Forrest Project (Iron Ore)
The Mt Forrest Project (Figure 1), wholly owned by Mindax through its subsidiary Yilgiron Pty Ltd, is situated 165 km from line of rail at Menzies and some 645 km from Esperance port. On this project the company has built up a significant iron ore inventory, with the JORC mineral resource currently standing at 1.71 billion tonnes of primary magnetite ore grading 31.8% Fe and 27.1 Mt of regolith (hematite/goethite) mineralisation. Additional information can be reviewed in the “Mineral Resource Summary”, pages 34-36. Results of an Updated Scoping Study were released in November 2013.
Heritage
Stakeholder meetings were held in November with the Wutha and Koara Groups. The Ngalia stakeholders unfortunately were unable to attend. The groups were updated of the project position and met with the new Chairman and Project Manager.
There were no concerns raised and all parties were satisfied with the company’s position and remained committed to the progress and potential mining of the location.
Environmental
A draft report for the Level 2 S study on the Short Range endemics at the Project Area was received for this quarter. The Level 2 fauna survey collected at least 66 species belonging to seven SRE Groups. The overall proportion of potential SRE species at the Project was also relatively low (30%). However, these putative SREs occurred in habitats that were common, both within and outside the proposed Project area, and closely-related species were generally more widespread at Mt Forrest. Eleven potential SRE species are presently known only from proposed areas of disturbance but the habitats in which these species were collected are found elsewhere and, consequently, these species likely have wider distributions. Considering also that only a moderate proportion of the most prospective SRE habitat will be disturbed (BIF; 27%), the species collected only here are unlikely threatened by economic development.
Proposed Mt Forrest Joint Venture Terminated
Perpetual Mining Holding Limited were unsuccessful in securing equity funding, as contemplated in the Shareholders and Development Agreement due to the severe impact of the Chinese economic situation, the capital markets and significant drop in the price of iron. PMHL has advised these circumstances, outside of its control, have forced the regrettable decision to terminate the Agreement.
PMHL is willing to continue to cooperate with Mindax and assist with future funding and development for the Mt Forrest Project.

Risk Management
The board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that activities are aligned with the risks and opportunities identified by the board.
The Company believes that it is crucial for all board members to be a part of this process, and as such the board has not established a separate risk management committee.
The board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks identified by the board. These include the following:
-
Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses strategy statements designed to meet stakeholders needs and manage business risk.
-
Implementation of board approved operating plans and budgets and board monitoring of progress against these budgets.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year was as follows:
- An increase in contributed equity of $800,000 as a result of the issue of 10,000,000 ordinary shares on completion of a placement in July and August 2014.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
On 31 August 2015 the Company completed a capital raising to sophisticated investors of $60,000 from the issue of 6,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares.
On 15 September 2015 the Company completed a capital raising to sophisticated investors of $50,000 from the issue of 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2015, which has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the result of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
The Group expects to maintain the present status and level of operations and hence there are no likely developments in the entity's operations.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE
The Group is subject to significant environmental regulation in respect to its exploration activities.
The Group aims to ensure the appropriate standard of environmental care is achieved, and in doing so, that it is aware of and is in compliance with all environmental legislation. The directors of the Group are not aware of any breach of environmental legislation for the year under review.
The directors have considered the recently enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Group for the current, nor subsequent, financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

Mindax Limited
Directors' Report continued
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
The information provided in this audited remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 .
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Committee is comprised of the executive chairman and two non-executive directors. The remuneration policy of Mindax Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. All short term incentives are decided at Board level. The board of Mindax Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Group.
The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Group is as follows:
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board. All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation. The board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is designed to attract and retain the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth. Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.
The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which was 9.5% for the 2015 financial year, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using either the Black-Scholes or Binomial methodologies.
The board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently $400,000 approved at the 2010 AGM). Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee option plan.
Directors are also entitled to Committee Fees, payable to members of the Audit and Remuneration Committees. The Board has agreed to fees of $5,000 per annum for each member of a committee, and $10,000 per annum for the Chairman of each committee. Such fees are paid to applicable members on a quarterly basis.
Performance based remuneration
At this stage, the Group’s remuneration of key management personnel (excluding directors) 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 for these personnel is inappropriate. This may change once the Group commences production.
In relation to non-executive directors, the Board believes that a portion of the remuneration package for the non-executive directors should be linked to some form of financial performance indicator, such as share price, from time to time, as determined by the Board. In this regard, options over unissued shares provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for nonexecutive directors to motivate and reward their performance. No options were granted during the 2015 or 2014 financial years.
Company performance, shareholder wealth and directors’ and executives’ remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives, including the occasional issue of options to directors and executives which is to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes this policy will be effective in increasing shareholder wealth.
The table below shows the gross revenue, losses and earnings per share for the last five years for the listed entity.
| 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |

Performance conditions linked to remuneration
In relation to non-executive directors (including the Chairman), the Board believes that a portion of the remuneration package for the non-executive directors should be linked to some form of financial performance indicator, such as share price, from time to time, as determined by the Board. In this regard, options over unissued shares provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for non-executive directors to motivate and reward their performance. No options were issued to directors during the 2015 financial year.

The Group did not employ the services of any remuneration consultants during the financial year ended 30 June 2015.

The Company does not have a formal policy in relation to the key management personnel limiting their exposure to risk in relation to the securities, but the Board actively discourages key personnel management from obtaining mortgages in securities held in the Company. There were no options granted to or vesting with key management personnel during the year.

No ordinary shares in the Company have been provided as a result of the exercise of remuneration options to each director of Mindax Limited and other key management personnel of the Group during the year.

Issue of Convertible Note
On 31 December 2013 the Company issued a Convertible Note for $300,000 to Ms Lai You, an existing shareholder and related party to non-executive director, Mr Andrew Tsang. The key terms and conditions of the Note are as follows:
-
The Note is unsecured.
-
The Note will not convert and it will be a condition precedent to its conversion into Shares that shareholder approval to its conversion be obtained as soon as practicable following the issue of the Note and in any event by not later than the Company's 2015 Annual General Meeting.
-
The Note shall convert into ordinary fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.10 per share.
-
No interest will be payable on the Note unless shareholder approval to the conversion of the Note is not obtained on or before the Company's 2015 Annual General Meeting.
-
Interest applicable (in the event of non-approval by shareholders) will accrue at the rate of 9% per annum, capitalised monthly from the date of issue of the Note until the date the Note is repaid.
-
If not converted the face value of the Note is to be repaid on 31 March 2016.
A commission of 5% is payable to Mr Andrew Tsang following conversion of the Note.
Unsecured Non-Recourse Loan
On 7 February 2014 the Company secured short term funding by way of an unsecured non-recourse loan for $250,000 from Ms Lai You, an existing shareholder and related party to non-executive director, Mr Andrew Tsang.
On 18 March 2014 the Company secured additional short term funding by way of a second unsecured non-recourse loan for another $250,000 from Ms Lai You.
The key terms and conditions of the Loans are as follows:
-
The Loans are unsecured.
-
The Loans are to be repaid in cash on or before 31 March 2016.
-
The Company may elect to repay the Loans through conversion of the Loans into shares.
-
No interest is payable unless the Company elects to convert the Loans into shares and shareholder approval is not obtained. Interest will then accrue at 9.0% per annum.
-
When the Company elects to convert the Loans into shares the issue price will be:
-
(a) Subject to (b) below, equal to the issue price of Shares issued under the first capital raising undertaken by the Company after the date of execution of the Unsecured Non-Recourse Loan Agreements; or
-
(b) In the event that the Company does not conduct a capital raising prior to the date of the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting, will be the lower of:
-
the ninety (90) day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Company's Shares; or
-
the last traded share price for the Company's Shares quoted by the ASX, on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Election Notice is given.
-
The Company conducted a capital raising on 27 June 2014 via a share placement. As a result term (a) above applies when the company elects to convert the loans to shares. The issue price of the shares will be at $0.08 per share (the same issue price as the share placement).
-
-
(c) All fractional entitlements to Shares will be rounded to nearest whole dollar.
A commission of 5% is payable to Mr Andrew Tsang if the loans are converted.

Mindax Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
30 JUNE 2015
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Mindax Limited and its subsidiaries. The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency. Mindax Limited is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 25 September 2015. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 . Mindax Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
(i) Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of the Mindax Limited Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
(ii) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 July 2014 that are relevant to the Group include:
-
AASB 2013-3 Amendment to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets ; and
-
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards .
The adoption of all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior years. However, the above standards have affected the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.
(iii) Early adoption of standards
The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2014.
(iv) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified, where required, by the measurement at fair value of selected financial assets and financial liabilities.
(v) Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
During the year the Group incurred a net loss of $21,706,407 (2014: $4,636,341) and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,333,545 (2014: $4,476,609). The Group had a net working capital deficiency of $809,602 (2014: $610,442) at the reporting date.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Group being able to raise additional funds to meet ongoing exploration commitments and for working capital, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the Group’s tenements, and/or sale of non-current assets. The Directors believe that they will be able to raise additional capital as required and are in the process of evaluating the Group’s cash requirements. The Directors believe that the Group will continue as a going concern. As a result the financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis. However should the Group be unsuccessful in obtaining funds as discussed above, there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
(b) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Mindax Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
30 JUNE 2015
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.
(ii) Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Mindax Limited.
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly controlled entity or associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
(c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the full Board of Directors.
(d) Revenue recognition
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument.
(e) Government grants (Research and Development)
Grants from the government are offset against the area where the costs were initially incurred at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
All grant revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
For research and development relating to exploration and evaluation expenditure, any claim will be offset against this balance.
(f) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries and associated operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Mindax Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
30 JUNE 2015
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
(i) Investment allowances and similar tax incentives
The Group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying assets or in relation to qualifying expenditure (eg the Research and Development Tax Incentive regime in Australia or other investment allowances). The Group accounts for such allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense or creates an income tax receivable and current tax benefit.
(g) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other shortterm and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases (note 19). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(h) Impairment of assets
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
(j) Trade and other receivables
Receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.
(k) Financial instruments
Classification of financial assets
The Group currently only has one class of financial asset: loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets.
Collectability of loans and receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment) is used when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables or in an otherwise timely manner. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the estimated future cash flows. None of the Group’s loans and receivables has an applicable interest rate hence the cash flows are not discounted.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within impairment expenses. When a loan or receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
Recognition and derecognition
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Impairment
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Group’s financial assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(l) Plant and equipment
All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. The rates vary between 6% and 50% per annum.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
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 (note 1(h)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(m) Exploration and evaluation costs
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.
(n) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.
(o) Borrowings
The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. The fair value of current borrowings approximates the carrying amount as the impact of discounting is not significant. Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(p) Employee benefits
(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Share-based payments
The Group provides benefits to employees (including directors) of the Group in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled transactions’), refer to note 25.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using an appropriate option pricing model.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects (i) the extent to which the vesting period has expired and (ii) the number of options that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based on the best available information at reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award.
Options over ordinary shares have also been issued as consideration for services and the acquisition of interests in tenements. These options have been treated in the same manner as employee options described above, with the expense being included as part of exploration expenditure.
(q) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(r) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(s) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the respective taxation authorities, are presented as operating cash flows.
(t) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2015 reporting periods. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. New standards and interpretations not mentioned are considered unlikely to impact on the financial reporting of the Group.

AASB 9: Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010), AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures and AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments, AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard: Part E Financial Instruments, 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014), AASB2014-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014) – Application of AASB 9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2018)
AASB 9 replaces the multiple classification and measurement models in AASB 139 Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement with a single model that has only two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value.
Classification of debt assets will be driven by the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. A ‘simple’ debt instrument is measured at amortised cost if: a) the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of the contractual cash flows, and b) the contractual cash flows under the instrument solely represent payments of principal and interest.
All other financial assets, including investments in complex debt instruments and equity investments, must be recognised at fair value.
All fair value movements on financial assets are taken through the income statement, except for equity investments that are not traded, which may be recorded in the income statement or in reserves.
For financial liabilities that are measured under the fair value option entities will need to recognise the part of the fair value change that is due to changes in their own credit risk in other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss.
The new hedge accounting rules that were released in December 2013 align hedge accounting more closely with common risk management practices. As a general rule, it will be easier to apply hedge accounting going forward. The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation.
In December 2014, the AASB made further changes to the classification and measurement rules and also introduced a new impairment model. With these amendments, AASB 9 is now complete. The changes introduce:
-
a third measurement category (FVOCI) for certain financial assets that are debt instruments; and
-
a new expected credit loss (ECL) model which involves a three-stage approach whereby financial assets move through the three stages as their credit quality changes. The stage dictates how an entity measures impairment losses and applies the effective interest rate method. A simplified approach is permitted for lease and trade receivables. On initial recognition, entities will record a day-1 loss equal to the twelve month ECL (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables), unless the assets are considered impaired.
For financial years commencing before 1 February 2015, entities can elect to apply AASB 9 early for any of the following:
-
the own credit risk requirements for financial liabilities;
-
classification and measurement (C&M) requirements for financial assets;
-
C&M requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities; or
-
The full current version of AASB 9 (C&M requirements for financial assets and liabilities and hedge accounting).
After 1 February 2015, the new rules must be adopted in their entirety.
Based on the financial assets and liabilities currently held, the Group does not anticipate any impact on the financial statements upon adoption of this standard. The Group does not presently engage in hedge accounting.
AASB 2014-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations [AASB 1 and AASB 11] (effective from 1 January 2016)
AASB 2014-3 amends AASB 11 Joint Arrangements to provide guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations in which the activity constitutes a business. The amendments required:
-
a) The acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business, as defined in AASB 3 Business Combinations , to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in AASB 11; and
-
b) The acquirer to disclose the information required by AASB 3 and other Australian Accounting Standards for business combinations.
This Standard also makes an editorial correction to AASB 11. Based on the financial assets and liabilities currently held, the Group does not anticipate any impact on the financial statements upon adoption of this standard.
AASB 2014-9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (effective from 1 January 2016)
AASB 2014-9 amends AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements , and consequentially amends AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , to allow entities to use the equity method of accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements.
AASB 2014-9 also makes editorial corrections to AASB 127. Based on the financial assets and liabilities currently held, the Group does not anticipate any impact on the financial statements upon adoption of this standard.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
AASB 2015-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle (effective from 1 January 2016)
The subjects of the principal amendments to the Standards are set out below:
AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations :
- Changes in methods of disposal – where an entity reclassifies an asset (or disposal group) directly from being held for distribution to being held for sale (or vice versa), an entity shall not follow the guidance in paragraphs 27-29 to account for this change.
AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures :
-
Servicing contracts – clarifies how an entity should apply the guidance in paragraph 42C of AASB 7 to a servicing contract to decide whether a servicing contract is ‘continuing involvement’ for the purposes of applying the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 42E-42H of AASB 7.
-
Applicability of the amendments to AASB 7 to condensed interim financial statements – clarify that the additional disclosure required by the amendments to AASB 7 Disclosure-Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is not specifically require for all interim periods. However, the additional disclosure is required to be given in condensed interim financial statements that are prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting when its inclusion would be required by the requirements of AASB 134.
AASB 119 Employee Benefits :
- Discount rate: regional market issue – clarifies that the high quality corporate bonds used to estimate the discount rate for postemployment benefit obligations should be denominated in the same currency as the liability. Further, it clarifies that the depth of the market for high quality corporate bonds should be assessed at the currency level.
AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting :
- Disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interim financial report’ – amends AASB 134 to clarify the meaning of disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interim financial report’ and to require the inclusion of a cross-reference from the interim financial statements to the location of this information.
Based on the financial assets and liabilities currently held, the Group does not anticipate any impact on the financial statements upon adoption of this standard.
AASB 2015-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101 (effective from 1 January 2016)
The Standard makes amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements arising from the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative project. The amendments are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgement in determining what information to disclose in the financial statements. For example, the amendments make clear that materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of financial disclosures. The amendments also clarify that companies should use professional judgement in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures.
Based on the financial assets and liabilities currently held, the Group does not anticipate any impact on the financial statements upon adoption of this standard. However, there may be changes to the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.
AASB 2015-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality (effective from 1 July 2015)
The Standard completes the AASB’s project to remove Australian guidance on materiality from Australian Accounting Standards. Based on the financial assets and liabilities currently held, the Group does not anticipate any impact on the financial statements upon adoption of this standard. However, there may be changes to the disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.
None of the other amendments or Interpretations are expected to affect the accounting policies of the Group.
(u) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are:
Share based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using an appropriate option pricing model or quoted active market price, using the assumptions detailed in note 25. If any of these assumptions, including the probability of achieving the performance hurdle were to change, there may be an impact on the amounts reported.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)
Exploration expenditure
The future recoverability of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including whether the Group decides to exploit the related lease itself or, if not, whether it successfully recovers the related exploration and evaluation asset through sale.
Factors that could impact the future recoverability include the level of reserves and resources, future technological changes, costs of drilling and production, production rates, future legal changes (including changes to environmental restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices.
Details of impairment recognised during the year, and the calculation of the carrying value at 30 June 2015 are contained in note 11.
Environmental Issues
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.
Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto related to taxation are based on the best estimates of the directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.
2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Risk management is carried out by the full Board of Directors as the Group believes that it is crucial for all board members to be involved in this process. The executive chairman, with the assistance of senior management as required, has responsibility for identifying, assessing, treating and monitoring risks and reporting to the board on risk management.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
As all operations are currently within Australia, the Company is not exposed to any material foreign exchange risk.
(ii) Commodity price risk
Given the current level of operations the Company is not exposed to commodity price risk.
(iii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to movements in market interest rates on cash and cash equivalents. The Group policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return.
Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2015, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the Group would have been $1,721 lower/higher (2014: less than $10,000 lower/higher) as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. The directors believe that in the current economic environment a 1% increase in interest rates is reasonable given comments made by the Reserve Bank of Australia. Weighted average interest rate for the year was 2.8% (2014: 3.5%).
(b) Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount (net of provision for impairment) of those assets as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The only significant concentration of credit risk for the Group is the cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions. All material deposits are held with the major Australian banks for which the Board evaluate credit risk to be minimal (credit rating –AA).
As the Group does not presently have any significant trade receivables, lending, significant stock levels or any other credit risk, a formal credit risk management policy is not maintained.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)
(c) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash is available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. The Board of Directors constantly monitor the state of equity markets in conjunction with the Group’s current and future funding requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.
The financial liabilities of the Group are confined to trade and other payables as disclosed in the statement of financial position, and borrowings for which further details are contained in note 13. All trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and due within 12 months of the reporting date.
The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. 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 borrowing facilities may be rolled forward.

(d) Fair value estimation
There were no financial assets or liabilities at 30 June 2015 requiring fair value estimation and disclosure as they are either not carried at fair value or, in the case of short-term financial assets and financial liabilities, their carrying values approximate fair value.
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:
| 2015 2014 $ $ |
|
|---|---|
| Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Trade and other receivables Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Trade and other payables Non-recourse loans Convertible note Total Financial Liabilities |
88,472 243,420 36,663 147,720 |

|
| 941,294 1,034,713 |
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are outlined below:
Cash
The carrying amount is fair value due to the liquid nature of these assets.
Receivables/Payables
Due to the short term nature of these financial rights and obligations, their carrying amounts are estimated to represent their fair values.
Fair value measurements of financial assets
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities of the Group approximate their fair values. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes.

Fair value hierarchy
The Group classifies assets and liabilities carried at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining that value. The following table analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by the valuation method. The different levels in the hierarchy have been defined as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Group has identified 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. 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); and
-
Iron Ore (comprising the Mt Forrest and Fred’s Bore Project).

Net deferred tax assets have not been brought to account as it is not probable within the immediate future that tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. The recoupment of available tax losses as at 30 June 2015 is contingent upon the following:
(i) The Group deriving future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;
(ii) The Group continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation in Australia; and
(iii) There being no changes in tax legislation which adversely affect the Group from realising the benefit.

(a) The carrying value of the Group’s projects was reviewed, and impairment recognised, where the facts and circumstances identified the carrying amount to be greater than the recoverable amount.
A number of tenements were withdrawn during the financial year and subsequent to the end of the reporting period. The carrying value of projects for which tenure is no longer current, or is expected to be relinquished, have been written off.
Tenements comprising the Uranium and Copper and Gold segments have been relinquished and carrying amounts written off in full. Tenure relating to the Gold and Iron Ore segments remains current however, some Iron Ore segment tenements have been relinquished during the year. Given the current status of the global financial markets, further exploration on the Gold segment is not planned or budgeted, and all amounts have been impaired.
Minimal exploration is planned for the Iron Ore segment, which the Directors believe comprises the majority of the enterprise value of the Group. The fair value of the exploration and evaluation assets have been determined for the purpose of impairment testing by reference to the market capitalisation (number of shares on issue multiplied by the quoted market price per share) of the Group on ASX, adjusted for the net assets at reporting date of the Group ($809,411) excluding exploration and evaluation assets. For details relating to the fair value, refer to note 2(d). The fair value of exploration and evaluation assets is included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
In the current economic climate, the Directors believe it is prudent to align the carrying value of the Group’s exploration and evaluation assets to the market value of the Group as it is perceived by the financial markets (ASX). The Directors consider the carrying value as noted is a fair indication of the potential disposal value of the Group’s projects in the current market.
Given access to new equity funding has been negatively impacted by the current economic climate, the capital markets and the recent significant reduction in the price of iron ore, the Group’s ability to advance its projects through further exploration or exploitation has been significantly reduced. As a result the Director’s believe market value to be a reliable measurement methodology.
There is no reasonable change expected in the unobservable input, being the net asset position of the Group.
(b) The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas. Amortisation of the costs carried forward for the development phase is not being charged pending the commencement of production.

(d) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.
Ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
(e) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, being mineral exploration, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 are as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of Mindax Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Mindax Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Mindax Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the financial report of Mindax Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 ; and
-
(b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.
Emphasis of matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which indicates that the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the future successful raising of necessary funding through equity, successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of the consolidated entity’s tenements, and/or sale of non-core assets. These conditions, along with other matters as set out in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Report on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2015. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Mindax Limited for the year ended 30 June 2015 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .
