PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the Company is mineral exploration and development.
REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Corporate
MinRex Resources Limited (formerly known as MinRex Resources NL until 15 January 2016) was incorporated in May 2011 and listed on the ASX on 7 November 2011. An Initial Public Offering for 17,500,000 shares was made at \$0.20/share, raising a total of \$3.5 million.
Operating Results
The Company's net loss attributable to the members of MinRex Resources Limited for the six months ended 31 December 2015 was \$523,054 (31/12/2014: \$320,930). As at the end of the quarter, the Company had \$1,021,660 in cash.
Hello Real Estate Limited
The half year period of this report was dominated by the due diligence, approval and regulatory requirements involved in the proposed acquisition of all of the share capital in Hello Real Estate Limited. During this period MinRex's Board was focussed on the proposed acquisition and only routine exploration and reporting work was completed on the two exploration properties.
As announced to the market, the proposed acquisition was subsequently discontinued on 15 January 2016, due to adverse market conditions, and the Company is now focussed on the exploration of its mineral properties, both of which have returned results in the exploration programs completed in 2015, which are worth pursuing. Nonetheless, MinRex is continuing to evaluate opportunities to enhance shareholder value through acquisitions and other corporate avenues both within and outside the mineral resources sector.
Operations Review
MinRex is an exploration company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, with its current focus being on the exploration of gold, base metal and tin projects in Western Australia and Tasmania. The Company is also currently seeking additional projects, both within Australia and overseas.
MinRex currently holds two projects, the Heemskirk Tin Project in Tasmania and the Deflector Extended Gold Project at Gullewa in Western Australia (Figure 1). Significantly, MinRex's Deflector Extended Gold Project is along strike from Doray Minerals Limited's ("Doray") Deflector Gold Project, where construction is underway on new plant and facilities for the recommencement of gold and copper mining and treatment, in mid-2016.

Figure 1: Location of MinRex Project Areas
Heemskirk Tin Project
The Heemskirk Tin Project (E18/2011) is in a remote, known tin-bearing area on the north-western coast of Tasmania, to the WNW of the town of Zeehan. MinRex has been exploring the Heemskirk Tin Project for tin and tungsten mineralisation through 2012 to 2015.
The field work completed between 2012 and 2015 has included reconnaissance surveys, stream sediment sampling, examining and sampling historic workings and geology. The area contains many small, but rich, tin oxide bodies associated with various vein types. Many old workings have been located and examined, with these generally thought to date from between 1876 and 1900 (Figure 2). Some of these areas of old workings have been identified as worthy of further inspection and having the potential to be associated with larger mineralised systems.

Figure 2: Plan of the Old Tin Workings identified in the 2012 to 2015 sampling at Heemskirk
The final assays from the mid-2015 panned-concentrate, stream sediment sampling program at the Heemskirk Tin Project were received during the current half year period. Eight of the 49 new samples returned values over 1% tin, with the highest being 6.9% tin (in the panned concentrate). A further eight samples returned values between 0.5% and 1.0% tin.
The new results bring the total number of panned stream sediment samples, collected from Areas A, B and C, to 79 (Figure 3). Of these samples, 11 have values over 1% tin and another 11 have values between 0.5 and 1% tin. for a total of 22 (or 28%) of the samples being over 0.5% tin. The samples are panned concentrate samples and are therefore higher grade than the actual in-situ stream sediments; nonetheless, it is thought that the higher grade samples will directly correlate with bedrock areas with high distributions of contained tin-minerals. A plan showing the locations of the 22 assays over 0.5% tin is included below as Figure 3.
The full assay results were reported previously in the Company's September 2015 Quarterly Report.
An additional 23 rock chip and stream sediment samples have also been collected from the vicinity of several small deposits of tin, tungsten and base metals in the granitic rock sequences in the area.

Figure 3: Plan of the Panned-Concentrate Assay Grades from Stream Sampling at Heemskirk
The full exploration results to date are now being assessed and the next stage of the exploration program is being planned. However, the initial conclusions are that more work is justified in several discrete areas which returned the highest assay results. In particular, in the northern part of Area A, close to the St Dizier alluvial tin workings, in the north of Area B, upstream from the old Peripatetic Tin Mine, and also in the south east of Area B, to the east of the old Fisher and Smith Tin Mine. Area D also remains to be sampled in the future (Figure 3).
Deflector Extended Gold Project
The Deflector Extended Gold Project (E59/1657) lies some 5km to the north-east of Doray's Deflector Gold Project at the Gullewa Mining Centre (Figure 4). In their latest update (20 January 2016), Doray reported that the open pit mining contractor has mobilised to site and commenced work, the plant will be commissioned in May 2016 and gold production will commence in June 2016. The Deflector Gold Project is projected to produce the equivalent of 150-160,000ozpa of gold (with copper credits) over a 6 year mine life.
No work was completed at the Deflector Extended Gold Project during the current period, following the April 2015 soil sampling program which demonstrated a concurrence of the highest copper and arsenic values, the geological contact and a possible fault zone, all within the same structure as the nearby Deflector deposit. The full assay results were reported previously in the Company's June 2015 Quarterly Report.
Further work is planned along the Deflector contact zone, especially where high soil sample results have been returned, and also along the buried Salt Creek Fault - which lies under cover below the Salt Creek drainage system.

Follow-up Exploration Activities
Exploration activities planned by the Company in the next year for its Project areas in Tasmania and Western Australia are given below.
Heemskirk Project
Assessment of the results received to date has been made and follow up sampling is being planned. More work is planned in the northern part of Area A, in the north of Area B, and also in the south east of Area B (Figure 3). Area D will also be sampled in the future.
Deflector Extended Project
Results from the recent soil sampling program have been assessed and further field work will be completed to follow up in the areas with anomalous results. Further sampling is planned along the Deflector contact zone, especially where high soil sample results have been returned, and also along the buried Salt Creek Fault – which lies under cover below the Salt Creek drainage system.
Future Opportunities
The Company will assess a broad range of exploration and corporate opportunities that have the potential to complement or replace the existing tenement portfolio. Opportunities outside the mineral resources sector may equally be evaluated and pursued, both in Australia and internationally.
MinRex remains in a good position to consider corporate opportunities.
Competent Persons Statement:
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Targets and Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Kieron Munro, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves".

Report on the half-year financial report to the members of MinRex Resources Limited
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of MinRex Resources Limited, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Directors' responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are 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 company's financial position as at 31 December 2015 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 MinRex Resources 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.
