Water studies were initiated. Discussions with rail and port people, as well as involved government agencies commenced and a program of marketing directly into Asia commenced in November.
Competent Person
The mineral resource estimates (“the estimates”) are reported under the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code, 2004 Edition). The estimates were carried out by Mr Chris Allen, BSc (Hons), MBA, MAIG of CSA Global Ltd who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG), and who has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the Code. Mr Allen 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 Mineralisation, Exploration and Drilling Results is based on information compiled by Mr Gregory John Bromley who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, with more than 5 years experience in the field of activity being reported on.
Mr Greg Bromley is a full-time 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 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. 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.
CORPORATE
On 8 August 2010 the Company announced that it would commence an infrastructure study to determine alternatives for rail and road connections between its Mt Forrest Iron Project and a deepwater port. It established a wholly owned subsidiary, Yilgiron Infrastructure Pty Ltd, to facilitate this work.
The Yilgarn Iron Producers Association was initiated early in October with Mindax Ltd/Yilgiron Pty Ltd as a founding member. The Association (YIPA) will focus on issues of common interest with miners and other explorers in the Yilgarn area with a particular interest in infrastructure issues through to Esperance.
On 30 October 2010 Nicholas James Smith tendered his resignation as Non-executive Director of the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This general purpose interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2010 has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2010 and any public announcements made by Mindax Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The group has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments from 1 July 2010 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 – Palaeochannel Project)
-
Gold (Comprising the Meekatharra and Sandstone Wide Project)
-
Copper and Gold (Comprising the Yilgarn Avon Joint venture – Mortlock Project)
-
Iron Ore (Comprising the Mt Forrest Project)
Segment information provided to the executive management committee for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 is as follows:

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Mindax Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entity it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the disclosing entity are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Mindax Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . 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.
